"Miss, we are ready!"
Wuying lifted her head from the desk in surprise. The news she just heard was too good to be true.
"This fast?" Wuying questioned suspiciously. "Are you sure?"
They created a plan just a few days ago and everyone was ready to move this quickly? Once they returned back to the base after their successful robbery, they immediately started to plan their next big attack.
Getting a new base turned out to be the best option.
"Yes, Miss Wuying. We were already prepared for departure a long time ago. We are wanderers in nature so everyone is ready to leave at any moment," Maw affirmed firmly.
"What about the Treasures and Upgrade Fragments?"
Maw pulled out a list, placing it on the table of his old boss.
"Everything was fairly distributed and Upgrade Fragments were consumed. We have been working hard day and night as everyone rushed to Cultivate. I doubt anyone got any sleep the past two days but at least we are ready to move any time now."
Wuying nodded in approval as she gave the list a casual glance. "Well done. Order everyone to rest then. We will leave the base tomorrow morning and claim our new home the following night."
"Got it," Maw nodded but didn't leave the office yet.
"Is there anything else?" Wuying asked as she stood up, ready to leave as well.
"I have one worry. Is Miss sure about this move? Aren't we moving a bit too quick?" Maw wondered out loud. "I'm just afraid we are doing too big of a leap without earlier preparations."
"That's a valid worry. Thank you for your concerns, but we will still proceed with our plan," Wuying replied as she walked up to him. "Perform your tasks well and we will appoint you as the next Boss of this group."
"Huh?" Maw lifted his eyebrows. "Does Misses plan to leave us soon?"
"Not that soon but we can leave at any moment. This is why we are taking this risk to explode your group's growth as much as we can before we leave. I doubt you can find an opportunity bigger than this one," Wuying convinced. "Are you still hesitant?"
This time, Maw seemed much more eager but he remained calm.
"I am, but I will proceed as ordered. The main part of the plan depends solely on Four Devils, so I have faith we can do it," Maw replied as he bowed. "Thank you for your trust, Miss."
"Mhmm, dismissed."
With Maw gone, Wuying took one last look at the office before disappearing from the spot. Her invisibility came in handy as she walked through the wall and appeared in their personal bedroom.
Yi, Xiao Wen, and Princess Shan were all sitting cross-legged while holding an Upgrade Fragment in their hands. Just like everyone, they have been working hard without any sleep this whole time.
"Wuying?"
Xiao Wen was the first to open her eyes with the other two following suit. Wuying only smiled as she joined them on the bed while announcing.
"Tomorrow is the day."
———
When Tianshi's Golem smashed the last disk, her legs trembled, finally giving up under her weight. She dropped face down to the ground but thankfully, Xinyu reacted quickly, appearing right beneath to catch her.
"Well done, Tianshi," Xinyu praised, causing Tianshi to grin.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Five Golems fell to the ground before dissolving back into the earth they were made from. Tianshi felt like an empty balloon, her Soul already emptied from the Qi. If Xinyu wanted to kill her, she wouldn't even need to lift a finger.
"I did it," Tianshi announced happily, laying her chin on Xinyu's shoulder. "But I think I overdid it."
Ugh!
She grunted right after, her body feeling as if it wanted to explode at any minute. She popped another Golden Pill into her mouth, but she barely felt any effects.
Her Soul was crying in pain and no pill would help in her current state.
"No pills will work on you anymore. You already ate too many," Xinyu muttered as she hugged her, rubbing her friendly on the back. "Right now all you need is a good rest. Your Soul is overtaxed, but luckily, it shouldn't be damaged."
"Xuefeng…" Tianshi breathed out, finding it hard to even speak. "He will help…"
"Sigh, alright, let me carry you back to the Palace," Xinyu agreed helplessly and lifted her up. "Hold onto me tightly if you can."
"Mhmm…" Tianshi nodded, but she didn't really have much strength.
Earlier, she was pushing forward using her will, but once she completed her training, her will was gone. It got replaced with all the pains she has been ignoring for the last hours, drowning her altogether. Both her body and mind were the definitions of tired.
"I'm really impressed that you managed to finish your training in just four hours. I thought you are going to give up earlier but you persisted till the end. Even I can't help, but be impressed," Xinyu praised again. "You should be fine for tomorrow's finals once Xuefeng's heals you, but I'm worried about your Qi."
"Xuefeng will help…" Tianshi replied weakly.
"Is Xuefeng an answer to everything?" Xinyu asked jokingly to which Tianshi replied without hesitation.
"Yes."
Xinyu got surprised by the answer, going quiet for a moment before muttering under her breath, "Must be nice to have him around then…"
Tianshi didn't comment on that, her mind too mushy to form long sentences.
"Do you think you can stand?" Xinyu asked near the Palace, but Tianshi's legs were like gum, unable to hold her weight.
"Right… Stupid question…" Xinyu muttered to herself after Tianshi shook her head and flew straight towards the Xuefeng's room.
It wasn't hard to spot as she just had to follow the Water Qi flow.
"There he is."
The Qi flowed through one of the open balconies with all of the room's windows broken. The power of the Qi couldn't be underestimated.
Xinyu landed directly at the entrance but froze, hearing Nuwa's moans from inside.
"More! Just a bit more! Ahhh!!! Yes! I love it! Ahh!"
Xinyu was like an innocent girl who just heard something she shouldn't, not knowing what to do afterward. Tianshi ignored her, sending a short message in her mind instead.
'Xuefeng… Help… Balcony…'
A moment later, she felt her body being hugged by familiar strong arms and a warm flow of Qi filled her body. Compared to before, she felt like a Phoenix reborn from ashes.
"Tianshi, are you okay?" Xuefeng asked worriedly, but Tianshi didn't reply right away, kissing him deeply first.
"Mhmm, I'm fine," Tianshi confirmed, glancing at Nuwa who walked up to them. "Can I join you? I trained really hard."
"I would say too hard," Xuefeng commented without much scolding. "Let's go inside, so I can reward you."
He grabbed both Tianshi and Nuwa into his arms before gazing at Xinyu.
"Thank you for bringing her to me," Xuefeng acknowledged the help.
He didn't seem to care about his naked body fully exposed to her.
On the other hand, Xinyu seemed to care a lot, her face all red already as she watched his erection in shock.
Nuwa grinned at that and grasped Xuefeng's shaft, stroking him gently.
"Do you plan to stay here and watch us or…?"
