"What's that?"
"Store."
"And that?"
"Brothel."
"These one word answers are really not giving much information, huh?"
"Yes."
Currently, Alex and Yuki were strolling around the streets of the kingdom. Alex was interested in the similarities and differences between the two heavens.
The most prominent thing was population. The number of cultivators was higher here, due to the spirit energy being higher allowing for more people with good talent to be born, but the population was a lot lower.
However, this made sense. Cultivators didn't generally like to have children, especially if they weren't planning on staying in one place forever. Generally, the passion of cultivators was to reach the top, and they wouldn't have kids before then. However, when/if they ever did, they would normally abandon that idea. Falling in love and having kids with another entity of similar god-like power was basically impossible.
That's not to say sex didn't happen. Here, it was natural, as the strong took from the weak and the weak sought the strong. Even in the Ninth Heaven, where everybody was your enemy, there were beings who cultivated using lust. The lust god and goddess being people with thousands of lovers, assumedly. Nobody down here really knew.
In terms of lust, it really came down to natural disposition. Generally, though not always, one's lust remained unaffected by your cultivation. Everything you did wouldn't be because you were desperate to get rid of your libido because you might explode otherwise, but rather because you were a d*ck who got off on ****** people.
Which led to the current situation. One that many would recognize.
"You should be proud to be a consort for the young master. He's a 2nd level Grandmaster, a prodigy."
"Please leave me alone. I just want to cultivate in peace."
Alex and Yuki were watching a familiar scene. A young pretty girl, though no where near Yuki or the yanderes level, was having her arm grabbed by a brutish young man who was claiming a young master. Behind him, a slightly handsome young man was standing, watching the scene with indifference and a bit of hidden lust. The brutish man was motioning towards the man, indicating him being that young master.
For the record, 2nd Level Grandmaster wasn't that good. But it was decent. Yuki had abnormal talent, so she could reach late stage 8th level and Alex was an ascender so he naturally had great talent as well. They were abnormal, not normal, but the young master was just slightly better than average.
Anybody on the street could have assisted her, but they didn't. On the off chance that that young man became powerful, it was best not to make an early enemy of him. Regardless of whether they believed this blatant attempt at basically **** was right.
Alex turned to Yuki, who was watching this scene with indifference. However, if one looked closer, like Alex, they could see the distaste in her eyes. As a woman especially, she could probably understand. She was fortunate, very fortunate, that she had both looks and power. Having just looks meant you would end up like this girl, inevitably. Having just power... well it'd be preferable, but who doesn't want to be good looking?
Yuki was the full package, as was Alex, but they were few and far between. Yuki clearly wanted to do something, but she was currently disguised. Her exposing herself wouldn't be bad, but the problem was that royalty wasn't supposed to interfere in matters like this. It was an unspoken rule as a privilege given to even slightly talented men such as these. This was the cultivation world.
So... Yuki began to walk away. However, as she turned to Alex, she saw the huge smile on his face, indicating his happiness.
It was true that Alex was very happy. Not with the scene, but with Yuki's reaction. After they sparred, and she had approached him to continue, he viewed her as a temporary disciple. He had a lot more experience, after all. Naturally, he was hoping for this reaction. Yuki had a sense of morality, something Alex valued, but she knew her bounds. She would go far in this world, Alex could tell.
"I've decided. I like you. I'll postpone my packing a bit, I want to teach you some things."
If Alex viewed her as a disciple, he was going to treat her as one. He'd have to cut down on his relaxing time, but that was fine. He was just being a bit lazy.
Alex steered her away from the scene, but not before a cry rang out. The perpetrator was the young girl, who was standing, shocked, covered in blood. The young man who had been grabbing her arm, along with the young man who was watching had lost their heads.
Nobody in the crowd could see what had happened, except for Yuki. As someone with a similar cultivation base to the perpetrator, she saw it clearly.
Alex had moved at a very fast speed, one not possible for Yuki, and lopped off the two's heads. The only thing to be said is this, inside her soul, the seed trembled.
Everybody in the crowd stared for a second, then went about their day as normal. They knew an expert had been around, and chalked it down to bad luck to the proclaimed young master. While **** was common, getting your head lopped off by someone even more powerful was also common.
This was the cultivation world, after all.
