Chapter 385 - Conspiracy (1/2)
Shen Xiu looked at Nik and Xue Yin with barely concealed annoyance. Still, in her loose robes that provided comfort during the sleep and her disheveled hair tied into a makeshift bun, the fox eyed the two and whispered with uncharacteristic warmth.
”It will be an honor to live with a Master Inscriptionist.”
Xue Yin nodded with hesitation. She still felt like she shouldn't have left her spatial abode. But Nik's persuasions over her creamed fold made it hard for Xue Yin to deny the fact that if they lived together, then they could have more fun. Not to mention, Xue Yin had already understood the foundation of the spatial inscription that the Snow Wind Family provided her only needed to experiment individually. She could comfortably live with Nik. The best part was since Ziyun was Nik's apprentice, the two could always meet each other here. Instead of losing anything, she was gaining Nik's daily affection.
Hearing Shen Xiu's words, Nik nodded with a smile, ”Yeah, just think of how much fun the three of us could have together... and it would be so wild when Asami joins in, too.”
Nik spoke with an elegant tone while picking up the cup of tea and supping the contents before leaning back and sighing gracefully. For a moment, Nik's unnatural refined action attracted the pair's attention before his words sunk in and made their face flush in embarrassment. Now the two women couldn't even look at each other.
”Anyway,” Nik commented softly, ”I should go ahead and train the kids outside.”
Shen Xiu failed to wake up in time and missed the training while Asami held the reigns until Nik returned a few minutes later after the training started. Much to Ziyun's surprise, she saw her Aunt with Nik and recalled the heated session that was stretched till a little after midnight. Of course, Ziyun still didn't get the chance to chat with her Aunt and casually slip in the fact that everyone heard her...
EVERYONE!
Finally, as Nik left, Xue Yin and Shen Xiu looked at each other before slumping on the back of the couch and sighing deeply.
”My breakfast usually consists of a hundred-year pain condor,” Shen Xiu suddenly spoke while locking eyes with Xue Yin and expressing the untold tales of women who actually bore the brunt of Nik's 'ruthlessness.' Shen Xou finally smiled mildly, ”It helps to control the tiredness and has nutrients that target a female's body. Nik usually does everything he can to ease the physical burden... but, I think, turning our diet is also a great measure since our bodies are slowly adapting.”
Xue Yin sat up straight and nodded with a grateful expression. ”Thank you, really. And I hope... I can live cordially with you.”
Shen Xiu shrugged and spoke in a non-committal manner, ”I think that's the only option. Do you know the truth about Nik?”
Xue Yin's expression faltered slightly, and she nodded, ”If he is going to hook-up with girls in every adventure... well, his past actions have made it clear that the probability is high, then we should keep a united front if we ever meet with the girls of a different world.”
Xue Yin matched Shen Xiu's gaze. While Xue Yin was more influential in the city, Shen Xiu was more prominent when it came to Nik.
”Of course,” Shen Xiu smiled, ”There might be more... well, calling them sisters should be appropriate. So, I hope that you can help me modify this estate to accommodate as such?”
It was a known fact that Xue Yin held an undeniable passion for Architecture. Shen Xiu's words made Xue Yin's gaze brighten as she nodded with an invigorated expression.
Meanwhile, Nik had once again made Shen Yue train in 'auto mode' and moved towards his group of apprentices before smiling widely. He didn't care if he looked too weird. He just felt satisfied atter relieving his sexual frustrations. It might felt selfish towards Xue Yin, but he didn't let the thought dampen his mood.
”All right! Ready for another hour of pressure training?”
He inquired while gazing at the girls. Korra was more than ready to go for it while Lanruo looked at him and sent a mental message through their connection.
'Why were you with Xue Yin last night?'
Nik's gravity descended on every single apprentice present. While Ryu'er was subjected to a 100% increase, the others were only subjected to 50%. Lanruo, meanwhile, stood with her back slightly bent as Nik's reply appeared in her consciousness.
'That is not a question, right?'
Lanruo bit her lips. Truth be spoken, she now felt overwhelmed. This feeling wasn't present when Nik also slept with Shen Xiu, but now, Lanruo had grown slightly sensitive to other's views on Nik and found that none looked at him like a normal master. Asami had long since exposed her intimate relationship, and even Ziyun was now showing a slightly strange reaction to Nik's presence. Meanwhile, the most open with their stares were Korra and Ryu'er!
