Chapter 113 (1/2)

Fluttering his eyes open, Huang Yu let out a soft groan.

His hand moved to the side, trying to push himself up from the couch. However, he froze immediately when it made contact with a soft fleshy orb.

Did he just...

Snapping his head to that side in an instant, Huang Yu was met with the figure of a silver-haired girl sleeping on the couch next to him.

Yes, he did.

Huang Yu closed his eyes. He took several more squeezes before he nodded sagely.

It really is bigger and softer than before.

That night that they had returned, Gu Yue had banished him to the Shadow Realm(i.e. The couch).

He had acquiesced to her demands. However, in the dark of night, she had somehow found a way to crawl onto the couch without waking him up.

And his mental power was at the level of Gods!

Women truly do have mystical powers.

Huang Yu let out a sigh as he reluctantly removed his hand from a blissful paradise. Using the King's Wisdom, he discreetly left the bed without disturbing Gu Yue.

As of this time, he was able to use some of the powers of the King's Wisdom without using his third eye.

It was difficult at first, but with the ascension of his cultivation, it became a lot easier over time.

Huang Yu opened the door to the balcony silently, blocking out sound and other tells with his Divine Sense.

Just as he was about to take off, he paused.

”I love you.”

It was only then did he have the heart to leave.

As the balcony window gently closed with a gust of wind, Gu Yue's sparkling amethyst eyes opened.

There was a gentleness in her eyes that she would only ever reveal to her lover.

She touched the spot where Huang Yu had kissed before she chuckled.

”I love you too, you rouge.”

Under the pale moonlight, arcs of light flashed in the darkness as the trees rustled in the centre of the forest.

Huang Yu was the source of all this as the sword moved dexterously in his skilful hands.

That was in his opinion of course.

Stopping his graceful dance, Huang Yu let out a sigh as he stared at the sword in his hands.

It wasn't enough.

This wasn't enough to allow him to reach that state he had reached when he had fought Hui Mie.

In their battle, he had managed to reach a state where he could sense the zenith of the sword for a brief moment.

This state wasn't the ones that other Spirit Masters would use.

For them, their skills were divided into three stages:

Sword Consciousness, Swordsoul and Sword God.

Pretty domineering names, just like all Xianxia techniques, but they were pretty shit in practical usage.

However, Huang Yu's path was different.

HIs path had split from theirs the moment he had managed to learn sword intent.

Naturally, sword intent wasn't the limit. However, no one knew what lay beyond the first stage of this path.

Although sword intent was common in the Divine Realm, not even Hui Mie knew what laid next.

Nonetheless, he was sure that he had seen a glimpse of it during their battle! It felt far too… special to be anything else!

He couldn't give any descriptions of it despite how great he had felt. His state of mind had been too blurry to give anything specific.

”Huang Yu.”

Oh? Who was that now?

Sending his divine senses out to investigate, he found the energy signature of Hui Mie.

Huang Yu turned around and gave Hui Mie a polite hello. Then, he dropped into a stance once more to begin training again.

If he didn't know better, then he would have thought that Hui Mie was actually gay from how hard he was looking at him.

When he was finally done, he let out a sigh before he unsummoned his sword.

This night would probably be a fruitless one as well.

Just as Huang Yu was about to call Hui Mie to leave, the man himself suddenly spoke up.

”What happened to that tree?” Hui Mie asked as he pointed off into a distance.

Following his finger, Huang Yu found what he was talking about.

”Hmm? It was just a bit of collateral damage from the swings of my sword. It's pretty common to be honest.”

The moment he had finished speaking, he saw a frown appear on Hui Mie's face.

Did he do something wrong?

Before Huang Yu could ask him what he was doing, Hui Mie suddenly spoke up once more.

”Watch.”

Huang Yu raised an eyebrow to this but obliged anyway.

He wouldn't lose anything from watching Hui Mie do something.

Maybe he could get a few tips? That would be pretty sweet.

Huang Yu had pride in his power, but he wasn't arrogant. No matter how powerful one was, one could still learn from anything.

Not that a former God King was 'anything' though.
