Nephele

Nephele looked at Ciri wide-eyed. Master's new disciple was hot as hell. She had only been in the cult for a few days but had adapted to everything new very quickly.

The only time she showed any insecurity was when Ria was around. Which wasn't surprising if she'd been trapped in her Qi waves. Nephele shivered at the thought. Ria had said that Ciri was completely devoted to Eos and that she wouldn't worry about her loyalty. Which she certainly didn't doubt after her own conversations with her. But she didn't really like the idea of sharing the Master with her. And they both felt the same way.

But Nephele was also enormously attracted to her. Especially with all the fermions in the air. She suspected it was more than that, but she would never admit it. I wonder if Eos is immune to them? She hoped so, but probably he wasn't with his low cultivation.

Ciri started walking towards the door and said,

"Are you ready to go? Eos is waiting for us."

It was still late in the morning when the two girls walked through the portal that took them to a mountain top in the Wind Mountains. Eos was already waiting for them. Although his cultivation was only at the peak stage of the Qi realm, he exuded a power that few could match. He was born immortal, a suprim being who would be like a god when his cultivation reached higher levels.

His long and well-built muscular body always fascinated Nephele. Broad shoulders and massive but proportional muscles. Long and masculine appearance. Ice blue eyes, long black hair. Straight nos, high chin bones, a living god in making.

Nephele knew him well, both his strengths and weaknesses. He had been born with divine Q or celestial Qii, but his cultivation had always fallen back to the peak Qi realm, every time he was about to break through to the advanced soul-sea realm. Just within a year, it had happened two times. Nephele didn't know anyone who had that cultivation speed.

But the feeling of not breaking through and also falling back must be frustrating. It was as if it was a curse. She would have gone mad if it was her, but Eos just seemed to take it without any frustration. He showed none, anyway.

The two girls bowed and said " Greetings, master. How can I serve you?" in chorus.

They hadn't thought about what they were going to say but both just spontaneously said exactly the same thing as the other in perfect unison. Eos just looked at them both without really knowing what to say.

Out here in the wild, none of them were affected by Ciri's fermions. But the emotionally charged atmosphere with sexual undertones was unmistakable.

Eos first opened his mouth to say something but quickly shut it. And Nephele couldn't help but giggle.

Suddenly a look of suspicion flashed in his eyes. "Is this Ria's idea?"

Nephele and Ciri had the most innocent looks on their faces. "Master, what makes you think that?" Eos' gaze drifted over their bodies.

He cleared his throat and swallowed almost unnoticed.

"Uh, forget it," Eos said awkwardly...

"You need to hide your cultivation if we're going to fit in at the selection. I have one ring each for you who will take your cultivation down to the Peak Nascent Realm. Or rather, it will hide your true cultivation. I only have these two, so if you lose one, you can't get a new one."

Nephele took it and put it on her right index finger. She felt nothing special. But to everyone around her, she now had very different cultivation from what she had just had.

"Doesn't the master need to have the same cultivation as us to be accepted?" Ciri asked.

"There is no minimum requirement to participate. You just need to complete the challenges. Whatever they may be. They have even encouraged everyone to come forward. If contestants die in the selection process, it's just good entertainment and quality assurance."

"You need to be close to me if I'm going to teleport us," Eos said. Within the blink of an eye, the girls had wrapped their arms around Eos and were pressing their bodies against his.

"Yes, master." Again in perfect tune and the two girls looked at each other with irritation.

Eos put her arms around the girls' naked waists and pulled them even closer and in the next moment, they were gone.
