At an equal distance of twenty feet apart from each other, Luke and Xiao Lingxi faced off. Their blue cloak soul Spirit fist, paper, and scissors still shinned brilliantly in the forest, lighting it up.

Luke had already played a few rounds with Xiao Lingxi, and he won four times while she had won three times. And from it, Luke had learned and delved deeper on beliefs and thoughts she had.

Such as her high determination to bring more joy to her father's face. Xiao Lingxi could tell he still profoundly misses his wife and son despite trying to cover it up. And now she always wants to make him proud and bring glory to him.

There was also still that hint of naivety in her as she believes not every problem should get solved through violence and killing since there was the fact World Spiritists exist. And he also learned small random things about her, such as her love for sweats or her clothing preference.

In return, Luke had also shared some funny personal experiences he had back on Earth with his cousin that also helped set the mood. It was a merry, joyful time between them as they laughed and chatted, not paying attention to the time.

Currently, the two stared at each other with challenging smirk and then,

"Three!"

'Swish!'

Once Luke called out, they rushed forward at a swift speed. During the game's coarse, Xiao Lingxi was the one that suggested to up the anty by choosing their move at the last second before crashing at high speed. It gave them less time to think and pumped their blood,

'BANG!'

The soothing melody of their clash shrouded the forest. The force of their crash picked up the wind, swaying everything there is an elegant, rhythmic motion. Blue sparks flew out from the clash, further adding on to the beauty of the forest.

"I win again Lingxi looks like I'm picking up on reading you." Luke jestingly said as his scissors beaten her paper.

"Hmph! You always want to act so cockily when you win! But I guess the reward is worth it since you get to know more about me~." Xiao Lingxi ended with a slightly smug tone indicating losing was indeed better than winning for her.

"I can't really deny that now can I? But for your question now, I'm curious, what is your long term goal for the future? With your talent, I can tell you'll make it far, and with it comes the extra-long lives of us cultivators."

Luke had gotten Xiao Lingxi to ponder about this seriously. Truthfully she hasn't precisely thought that far in the future. If it was before she met Luke, it would've been about making her father proud and one day maybe starting a family.

Only now?

Luke had open her eyes to a whole other side of the world. She can tell he'll quickly rise to the summit of this world, but he drastically differs from the usual people who wanted power.

Luke had told her about his dreams of simply experiencing everything in this universe and trying out all interest in life. A world like theirs was filled with countless mysterious and great secrets that all could tell a compelling story. And even now Luke can come silly little fun games like this to enjoy his day than the regularly cultivating.

Gazing at Luke charming smile, Xiao Lingxi had formed a smile herself as she said,

"Um, honestly, I haven't thought that much for my future. But I never had any real big goals either. But...but now I kind of want to see what the whole world is like. You're right there's just a lot of exciting things I don't know about it and other things that'll be fun to explore! I know you will never get hinder Luke, your talent wouldn't allow that. Though despite you saying, I do-"

"You don't think you can make it far and in turn will lead you to become very limited in this life, right? Then how about you just travel with Andy and me? I'm sure with us; nothing will hinder you."

Luke interrupted Xiao Lingxi with a confident smile staring directly into her eyes as he asked her. And in turn, caused Xiao Lingxi's face to lit up in a blush as her eyes jumped from the sudden question.

"Ah-ah! C-come with you?! I-I mean what about my father..."

"Doesn't he already let you travel on your own? Besides, I'm one hundred percent positive me, and Andy can easily convince him to let you come with us. Plus it's not like we need to leave right away, so during our time here with our talents, he can come to trust us." In her mind, Luke's words made sense since him, just being a blue cloak World Spiritists at his level, spoke volumes about his talent.

Still, she needed to calm her rapidly beating heart as she then said,

"Bu-but, what about my strength? Even now, without your lightning or axe, you're already stronger than me being at the blue cloak level. I've read books and heard from brother Yuanba World Spiritists are equal or sometimes even superior to regular cultivators! And blue cloak is already far beyond my level..."

Xiao Lingxi did get Luke to guess his Spirit Power if he were to fight should be at the starting level of Xiao Lie realm. And because of his soul Spirit Power, he was able to control it perfectly, so he didn't accidentally hurt this cute girl.

But he pushed that thought back as he focuses on the downcast Xiao Lingxi. Walking up, Luke gently put his hand on her shoulder to which she didn't resist, looking up to Luke with a slight daze look.

"What if I told you, I could help out with every aspect of your cultivation? That way you'll never have to worry about getting left behind or getting in our way."

"Eh? But how?"

To this Luke's smile gotten brighter as he walked closer to her. Now at such close distance, their bodies warmed at Luke's touch. Their souls stir as Xiao Lingxi felt a calling to Luke and didn't want Luke to let go of her.

"Just relax."

Slowly Luke pulled the dazed girl into his embrace. His hands were coated in blue soul Spirit Power and tenderly hugged her back. The Spirit Power, rock paper scissors had already vanished from both of their hands.

"Ah-ah, Mnm...Luke..."

The slowness and carefulness of Luke's hug gave Xiao Lingxi plenty of time for her to resist. Yet she didn't want to resist as this felt to soothing to let go. Xiao Lingxi only came up to his chest and felt the even calming heartbeat of Luke.

Also, she felt a warm, pleasurable sensation run throughout her body from Luke's hands.

Luke was feeling bliss too. This girl in his arms was just incomparably soft and exuded an intoxicating aroma. Her long black hair smelled enchanting to sniff, and the breath of Lingxi sent tingles in his body.

Luke had recalled in Martial God Asura; a blue cloak World Spiritists can transfer Spirit Power to anyone as long their bodies were strong enough. And while the requirement may differ in this universe, Luke still held the utmost confidence in giving her Spirit Power.

Furthermore, he was also confident in boosting her cultivation later on in the future from Spooky words.

All the while, during this intimate process, Spooky had a devilish smile as a perfect opportunity had come! Instantly she teleports to Xiao Lingxi's dark black soul seeing her curse lightning violently reacting.

It was shooting off blue sparks as Luke and Xiao Lingxi were feeling close and were sharing a lovely moment.

"What are you planning to do again?" The booming woman's voice in her soul asked Spooky not even surprise she's here again. She also felt the connected feeling on the outside, and it was only a matter of time now.

"Nothing much. Just reinforcing the curse and broadening her mind. Humans are pretty weird with their emotions, eh?" Spooky told and touched the blue lightning with a single finger, making it shine brighter.

"I guess so. Well, beings like us aren't so preachy either." The woman chortled, but in response, all she got was Spooky creepily turning her head to where she knows the woman was looking at her.

Her smile grew a bit ominous, and her even smooth tone voice said,

"A being like you is no different from a mortal to me, you know?"

And with those parting words, she vanishes while the woman felt an indescribable pressure even after Spooky was gone...

On the outside, Xiao Lingxi's eyes flashed blue as Luke embrace felt better than before. Unconsciously she leaned in closer to him as several thoughts ran in her mind.

'In the future, he will surely become popular. He will no doubt, stand at the summit. D-does he even likes me? But...I can't deny it; I like him yet...'

"Linxgi, just relax. No matter what, in the future, if you do come with me, I'll never forget or abandon you. And even now we have all the time in the world to take it slow. So just relax and let's enjoy this moment." Luke soothingly said to Xiao Lingxi, making her melt more into his embrace.

He could tell from a flash of blue in his eyes, the disturbance of her mind. And while he wanted her to calm down, he did call out to Spooky saying,

'Spooky I can tell, her rapidly fast-developing feelings for me is because of you strengthening the curse inside her and the connection, right? It's only been about four days since we met, and her feelings never stopped once.'

'Hmm, well, for your future confidence, you must know this level of soul connection will only work if you and the woman are compatible and can clearly accept each other. The difference comes when a soul rejects us. Dongxue soul would've got torn to shreds since her soul fears us. Even if you did have an innate liking towards her, it would do nothing to help the rejection of her soul. But with Lingxi and even Qingyue, their souls long for you ever since you first called out to them. All of this can truly only happen when both parties are willing.'

'But wait, didn't you say our curse gets everyone to have an innate liking towards us? Unless...if I try to take it a step further, that's when their souls determine whether or not to respond to our calls.' Spooky was actually pleasantly surprised by how quick Luke picked up on that as she smiling told,

'Right, being a likable magnet differs from wanting to form a deep connection. So if you're ever worried about the legitimacy, just remember the ones who truly don't like you, will get split in half.' This statement did worry, Luke, a bit.

'Isn't this a bit of a downside to the curse? I mean for starters, how could a soul even reject us in the first place?'

'Hm, well I suppose later this week or the next I'll teach you more about this curse. By then, you should develop our soul to the point where you can personally handle it. Oh, by the way, done with this Spirit Power transfer.'

Spooky quickly cut off communication as Luke felt Xiao Lingxi's body stir. For the girl, she felt a new unknown powerful energy flow inside her. The process was smooth and didn't hurt a bit, and her body tremble.

Slowly she looked up to Luke with shaking eyes stuttering out,

"L-Luke..."

"Try calling out to that new energy you're feeling."

Holding her hand out but still leaning into Luke, Xiao Lingxi called forth the unfamiliar energy, and what appeared on her hand was white cloak Spirit Power! Now her eyes widen as this means she became a World Spiritists!

Her jaw hanged open as she slowly turns to Luke with awe eyes.

Luke didn't know, but to Xiao Lingxi, this rocked her world. Like Yuanba already said, it requires great talent, soul strength, and high comprehension to become a World Spiritists.

Only genuinely unique people can become one. But the details that were left was the near impossibility to transfer Spirit Power.

As far she knew, it required perfect control, an extremely high realm of World Spiritists power, and the person body can't be on guard against the Spirit Power. And even then, the person themselves must be talented enough to infuse with Spirit Power.

Yet Luke just gave it to her, effortlessly, on both their parts.

"So how do you-Oh?"

Luke was going to ask, but Xiao Lingxi just hugged Luke tighter with a broad, beautiful smile. Even if Luke didn't know the significance, this very achievement told her everything she needed to know about him.

"Thank you, Luke." Simple short and sweet words conveyed all of her emotions. Luke felt it all as she holds him even closer.

And he also tightens his embrace around the girl enjoying this blissful moment.
