Chapter 194: Her Choice (1/2)

Seth and Rina didn't immediately go up the stairs to the second floor, since it was still early in the night. Cultivators didn't have the need to sleep frequently, because their bodies were naturally stronger and more resilient. That's one of the hundreds of thousands of advantages that stepping up the cultivation road could bring a practitioner.

Actually, Seth was not in the right mood to even try to sleep. His mind couldn't rest, drowning in the heavy feeling caused by the things that had happened in the Blazing Phoenix Sect.

He recalled the time he went to Huo Shihong's office, warn him of the incoming danger. If his father-in-law had accepted Seth's help at that time, maybe things could have taken a turn for the better. At that time, Seth had a plan to actually lure those members of the Twelve Shadows inside the Fire Labyrinth, and fight them together while taking advantage of the myriad traps they could build together beforehand.

However, he didn't think Velgor would speed up the operation, causing things to happen the way they happened.

Huo Shihong died, the Blazing Phoenix Sect lost the war and Meiyi's situation was weighing down on his shoulders, making his semblance always heavy and a permanent frown to appear on his face.

Rina noticed those things, since even the way Seth acted, was different from before.

”Rina... I'm sorry for bringing you to such gloomy scenarios. First what happened in the Hilkhell city and now all of this... Everything is a complete mess.”

”Come on... You don't need to apologize. Those things couldn't have been foreseen. None of that is your fault too.”

”Sigh... I promise you that the place we're going to go, will be different.” Seth said while looking outside the window.

”You've yet to tell me where we are going.”

”And I won't. At least let me surprise you this time.”

”Alright. However, you're wrong on something...”

”I am wrong?”

”Yeah. I will be the one who's going to surprise you.”

After saying those words, Rina suddenly turned around and went up the stairs, leaving Seth behind.

He didn't understand anything, so he decided to let it go. Seth looked towards a bottle of wine and used his Mana to attract it.

He poured a cup for himself and started drinking while still admiring the scenery outside.

After having enough of thinking about what happened and drinking the whole bottle, Seth decided to go upstairs to tell Rina something. He's been delaying this, but he wanted to instruct her in her combat training, something he found more than necessary now.

Seth had observed her previous fights and had some ideas on how to improve her prowess. Now that they had time, he could teach her many things. She had many good points, but she was lacking experience, what he had plenty of.

He arrived outside the door of his room, where she said she would be. However, he expected that she would ”shoo” him away after their talk, making him sleep on the first floor.

He opened the door and quickly closed it after entering. When he moved his head to look at the front though, he really got surprised by what he was seeing.

Rina had taken her green cape off, revealing her otherworldly beauty for Seth. She didn't wear it all day, but she liked to wear that cape, since it was a precious gift from her mother. However, when she was not wearing it, was actually when Seth liked the most.

But what made him surprised, wasn't that fact, but the fact that she had taken her other clothes off too. She was only wearing her underwear, making Seth's blood run wild.

Just a single look at her and a bulge was already forming on his pants.

”I'm sorry, I've entered at the wrong time.”

Seth thought he had entered while she was changing her clothes and decided to quickly leave. But when he was about to turn around, he heard Rina's voice urging him to stop.

”No. Please stay...” She was too shy to say anything more than that and her voice was really low.

Seth got surprised after hearing her words. Suddenly, he understood part of the situation. Rina had a very bashful personality and it was developed that way because of how her mother raised her; alone and far from anyone. It made her develop some social problems, what made her current actions, a really difficult thing for her to do.

That's why he understood that he had to be the one to push forward and lead.
