One Hundred and Twenty-Nine.

My mood soured.

What I feared had happened.

They were gone.

But they were safe.

That thought helped me calm down—at least a little.

They were taking a break from me to get stronger. At the same time, they were giving me a chance to cultivate and, apparently, 'help these ladies enjoy some time with me.'

But still... I wish I could see them at least once a day.

Damn it. The letter didn't even say when they'd be back.

Where were they training, anyway?

Wait—why was I even worrying?

I could locate them anytime with my Test Tube Cultivation Method's seed tracking ability.

I was about to do it—but then, I stopped.

If I checked on them… wouldn't that be breaking my promise?

I let out a long sigh.

Two pairs of dazed, lust-drunk eyes were staring at me, practically vibrating with nervous anticipation.

They looked like they were dying to do something about their racing heartbeats.
