Love Struck Beauty

Hui and Hong make it back to Hong's house where Hui decides to sleep on the couch, but not before locking the baby in an empty room and covering the floor in blankets in case this baby who has reached Spirit Grandmaster somehow manages to escape the stroller in which it is facined. Before Hui can even ask Hong for a blanket she is completely passed out, sprawled out as if she is dreaming about Hui's cooking. Hui, frustrated, but almost fainting from fatigue realizes that he doesn't even have the strength to spare a grudge. In less than a minute he is fast asleep. 

"I see.." Hui who gains lucidity in his dream finds himself in the 8 star labyrinth now able to cultivate while sleeping Hui cultivation has made a massive improvement, he's started to think this parenting-work balance will be easy as pie. He sees a gold light lower in the labyrinth (in the labyrinth Hui is able to see through near parts of the labyrinth using a form of limited clairvoyance. It was restricted to only parts he had previously advanced to, but now that he has free reign of the labyrinth he has his work cut out for him). Hui heads towards the light, stopping a few times along the way to investigate new treasures, books, and techniques. It is at this time he learns the 3 mystic realm sword intent, which had become the foundation of Hui's newly established sword cultivation. (Magi don't specialize in combat so lethal techniques are rare, and being hidden from the world it is almost never a problem so they manage. Tho there are a few Magi in history who specialized in combat though little is known about them as they were quite average. Largely due to Magi having limited resources for that kind of path as well as only descriptions of combat techniques which is different than a manual or scripture which provides insight into the essence and unique existence signature. One of the most vital parts of learning any technique, art or otherwise.)

Hui reaches towards the key and it instantly reacts, binding to Hui and enhancing his Magi bloodline, Hui immediately thinks of sharing this key only to quickly remember that he is in a non Corporeal plane. The effects of the bloodline advancement are immediately evident when Hui who was 5'10 in an instant grows to 6'2. His face becomes visibly more attractive (he knows this because he can feel it) he also notices the innate Magi blessing of the Great Owl which all Magi are born with increases, his divine sense deepens. Hui is elated, as he always wanted to be tall. He also realizes that the key is non Corporeal, he deduces that the lock must be some sort of detection system able to detect the key's specific effects and respond accordingly. Hui spends the next 6 hours going through the labyrinth which is massive at the rate he is going now. It would take 200 years just to read each book once. Hui deduces he'll have to find a new way to go through the contents of the labyrinth. 

He beings to think, though unable to come up with a realistic solution to the problem he decides the likely best course of action would be to ask Hoobert. With countless new information on existences, a few new sword techniques, many new recipes, and new historical knowledge Hui realizes he is close to waking up. Feeling rested enough he decides to get up only to see Hong in her underwear and is instantly beet red and embarrassed. His face is so hot he can feel it with his hands. "Ms.Hong… please put on some clothes" he says quietly and bluntly. Hong, who is also a bit embarrassed as she had not expected Hui to wake up at that exact moment, immediately began teasing Hui, grabbing his arm from the side and placing it in between her breasts. "HuiHui I'm so lonely, won't you give me company." Looking up into Hui's eyes, who is looking down, no longer bright red but frozen from shock. It is only then she notices Hui's drastic changes, his already gorgeous face has become even more handsome, and seems to have grown a few inches. Hong, who thought Hui (who is very prudent due to his living situation) was cute so she often teased him like this in school but never in her underwear. Now that Hui was a man, the teacher-student relationship has become even more complex. Hong is immediately Star struck, becoming even redder than Hui was a moment ago, not even able to utter the words to ask why Hong fleas to her room like a bullet. From Hui's perspective this all happened in a matter of seconds. Hong however, who can't seem to get the thought of HuiHui out of her mind, locked herself in her room to calm down. (Hong is very lewd, often making sexual jokes and teasing female students. This kind of unscrupulous debauchery has earned her a reputation in the estate, and sometimes gets treated like a freak by more prudent students and teachers. Though she actually likes it, it only seems to fuel her appetite. But Hui's case was different. She thought he was very cute even as a child but even as a young adult she could never even bear the thought of growing genuine feelings for Hui even when he got older. 

But despite this the heart wants what the heart wants. Hong did grow feelings, and only suppressed and ignored them for those years. But today those feelings boiled over her heart was immediately engulfed in her feelings for HuiHui, unable to restrain herself if she had not left so suddenly she would have jumped on HuiHui. Immediately throwing herself at him and not taking no for an answer. But luckily he showed some restraint and was able to quell those feelings once again, though her heart for HuiHui had definitely changed, she decided she would either have to fight those feelings or give herself up to HuiHui who would likely reject her and fight for love. She immediately began plotting how to win HuiHui's heart!)
