Shao family’s hospitality
Hiro's POV:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Because of what happened at the end I felt a bit downhearted. I wanted to make her feel good, yet the pilot just had to stop me! I swear that I'm not going to leave my woman unsatisfied! Stupid pilot! Although probably he too had a ‘big’ problem in his pants, but he can go to hell!
A sixth level cultivator could arrive at our destination in the blink of an eye by teleporting, but unfortunately, we weren't at such a high level so we had to travel for two days before arriving on Orbon planet. We were 'dropped' out of the spaceship because the pilot turned off the gravity reverse at halfway.
He clearly disliked us, thanks to the happenings, but we didn't care. We entered the city without any problems and unexpectedly, we have seen a spaceship on the ground, waiting for someone. That was quite a rare case because these spaceships usually never landed. Only the leading powers had their own spaceships, which meant that this was the Shao family's spaceship!
Maybe its energy crystals were out and they had to replace it. That would mean that we could see a top tier energy crystal, which was a rare occurrence, so we went toward the plain. On the way, quite a lot of guys checked out Alice and this got her in an uncomfortable mood. "Hey, could we do something about this? Let's sell those armors and buy some clothes. I- I don't like their gazes," She said as she embraced my arm tighter than before.
She couldn’t do anything about it. She had a sexy body and as she was walking, her hips were swaying sexily. I too would look at her quite lustfully if I were to be an outsider. Her body caught the attention of many guys. Seeing this I also embraced her strongly to show them that she was mine! She felt more at ease after feeling my arms.
Stupid monkeys! A dragon is very loyal to its mate. Alice had said it herself to me before. She would rather die than ever be touched by another man. After doing what we have done on the spaceship there was no turning back. If I were to try cheating on her, then my penis would be chopped off! Luckily for me, I wasn't that kind of person. I needed only a single woman, who would love me and whom I could also truly love.
Listening to Alice's wish, we went into an armor shop and sold the armors we had in our backpacks after enchanting and inscribing them with one-one each. Upon seeing the enchantments and runes on it, the storekeeper started questioning us. "Where did you find such armors! These have enchantments and runes on them!! All of them!!"
"I- I'll buy the information, just tell me where you've got them!" He shouted with an excited face, but we denied his request. "Sorry, but we found it by chance. We wouldn't sell it if not for us being in need of money!" Alice leaned to my ear as she whispered. "Such an obvious lie. Fufu~ Whatever, it's not like he is going to realize it." She also used wind magic to cover her voice.
We could make such armors anytime... "I'll buy them for a thousand gold coins each!" Such low-class armors are worth so much? Maybe our customs are way too different from normal cultivators'... We happily sold it to him for that much and then left his shop and entered a Clothing Store.
At first, we bought some normal clothes. Alice simply looked beautiful in anything she wore. In the end, she bought panties and bras... which she hadn't had before thanks to our chaotic lives. She also bought a skirt, thigh-high stockings, boots, and a tricot. She had a very sexy decolletage... I bought a T-shirt and a black pant and I also bought underwears... it was quite breezy before! Going commando is a no go!
Though I had a problem. The T-shirt was too tight for my muscles, but if I were to buy a bigger one, then it would be too long. In the end, I went with the tight one, after Alice expressed her liking. It seems like she likes muscles, I think.
We also bought two black capes and we also hid our faces with Dark Magic. All you could see under our capes were two shining green dots, which were our eyes. I loved my eyes! Now thanks to our black capes we probably looked like two evildoers and it also hid Alice's figure just fine. Hehe~ Now I can enjoy her body all alone.
“I didn’t even speak with her so don’t worry. You know that I’m the loyal type. It doesn’t matter even if she would be as beautiful as you I’d still look only at you. Should I make an oath? If you feel better from that then ‘I swear that-’” I started saying, but Alice stopped me while she made a thoughtful face.
“Shut up, would you? I’m not even thinking about that... I believe in you. I don’t have trust issues.” She answered me. I've said my earlier lines because the shopkeeper girl also expressed her liking, along with Alice. For a moment I thought that Alice was upset about something, though thinking about it now, I should have known her better than to imagine such things. She is quite hard to upset as long as it is me who we are talking about.
“Then what?” I questioned curiously. “Do you see those people at the spaceship? All of them have the same wolf emblem on their armors, which means that they should be from the Shao family.” Alice said as she pointed towards them. “Oh! That's right." I agreed with her words.
“Yes. Let’s move and see what kind of people they are. If they are bad kind of people, then we will have to avoid them as if they were a plague...” She said as her mouth turned into a smile. "Hahaha~ Alright," I said as I laughed at her words.

When we reached the landing-place there were some onlookers too, watching curiously what is going to happen. I searched for the right person and asked one of the onlookers who was a big burly looking man. “Hey, martial brother, what’s happening over here?”
This kind of accost was a respectful one and anyone normal hearing it would have a good opinion about the one who called them like that. All of us were cultivators striving to be at the top of the world or even universe! This was a lucky pick thanks to me, being good at figuring out people’s character just by a look.
“Haha! Hello, martial brother! Nothing serious. This spaceship is here waiting for the daughter of the Shao family. We have asked the pilot and he said that they are going to Wu Shan planet to pick up some brats who caused heavy damage to the Wu family by destroying their formations!” He answered me happily, also surprising me with his words in the process.
“They destroyed their formation?” I made it appear as if we wouldn't know about it. “Yes! Did you not know about it? They tried to block this news, but even their own soldiers couldn’t hold their mouths and it was leaked out. It happened about a month ago as I’ve heard it."
"There are even rumors saying that now that those formations were destroyed the Shao family might be planning to attack the Wu family! If that were to happen, it would surely be a great war!” He explained to me with an excited voice. Good, good! I like news like these!
“I think even normal cultivators would participate! I would surely side with the Shao family! Maybe they would even give out rewards for helping! Would you consider participating?” He questioned me, which to I answered by saying - “Hmm~ I think that I’d. It sounds like fun!”
“Haha! That's a wise choice! Alright, I'm leaving. I too came here not long before only to hear about what's going on. I have better things than to watch someone appear and board a spaceship, Hahaha!" He said loudly as he patted me on my back strongly.
The burly guy left, but we stayed there. If they have some plans with us, then we might as well meet with them. Having a good relationship with such a family would surely come in handy in the future. We didn't have to wait for long because about two minutes later, the daughter of the Shao family has arrived. She looked like a twenty some years old girl.
She had short black hair and she wore a knee-long purple dress. She had a nice figure and a nice face. On the Earth, she could easily become a model with her beauty. We, cultivators, were always young looking as long as we were talented. We would grow to look like old-looking humans only if we were nearing the end of our lifespans.
The average cultivators looked like thirty to forty years old looking adults, while the geniuses tended to look like teenagers, but most of them looked like twenty some years old humans. Considering our talents, we would stop growing older than the lowest age possible, which was eighteen. As long as we would keep up our quick cultivation, we would stay looking like eighteen-years-old humans!
As people kept advancing, their auras also kept changing and evolving. The more powerful we become, the more our auras would feel alike the universe itself, which would be attractive for cultivators at the lower levels. If fifth level cultivators were to descend, then these people would probably look at them as if they would be looking up at gods.
Of course, if they were to go into combat mode, then their auras would also become as terrible and cruel as the universe is. Deep, immense, infinite, cruel and cold. So cold that even their bones would freeze just from feeling it. People at those levels could kill low-level cultivators without even looking at them. Just their auras would be enough.
When we saw her coming, we jumped out of the group of onlookers and went towards the girl. Her guards, who followed her, stopped us with one of their hands pointing towards us as they shouted - "Halt!" - while their other hand was on their swords or staves or whatever weapon they had.
Interestingly enough, they didn’t immediately pull out their weapons. This might be a bit naive, but it seems like not even her guards were that ‘how dare you to come here, now go die!’ kind of people. “Who are you and what do you want? State your intentions clearly!” Shouted one of the guards at the front who was at the eighth stage.
“We come with peace,” I said as I raised up my hands out of reflex. Well, being polite with polite people was alright with me. “My name is Hiro and she is called Alice. I want to speak with your Miss?” I said this loudly so that she would hear it.
“Shao Xiu. You can call me Xiu. Let them through. What do you want?” She answered my question as she heard me asking for her name and also let us through. Hearing the order they went to the sides, with their hands still on the handles of their weapons.
Maybe they looked naive before, but now they look like people who are confident in their abilities. No wonder, since all of them were at the seventh stage of Space Founding Realm... Actually, no one knew of the two ‘brats’ who destroyed that formation of the Wu family so she didn’t know who we were either just by hearing our names.
“Miss Xiu. I want to save you from a pointless traveling because I heard not long ago that you want to go to Wu Shan planet to pick us up.” I said as I put down my hands with a smiling face. “Do you mean you were the ones who destroyed the Wu family’s formation?” She said, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes. If you need evidence then I’ll tell you that there were two formations. One being a Universe Energy collecting formation while the other one being a Space Cracking formation.” Hearing my answer, she wrinkled her brows as she answered after being silent for a few seconds.
“So you are really those two. But how did you get here? I’m quite sure that they were ready for you. I didn’t go up till now because I didn’t expect you to ascend so quickly... Our spies have notified about you being here not long ago.”
“Hehe~ They did wait for us but we tricked them and got out luckily. Though it was a close call.” I said with a small chuckle upon thinking about their stupidity, but thinking about what could have happened, my face darkened at the end of my sentence. I'll make sure to never let something like this happen in the future. I'm going to become the strongest and destroy everyone in our path! No one shall touch my woman!
“Well then come with me and meet my father, he wants to meet with you, would you?” She inquired as she raised her brows and her hands. “To be honest, we know about the enmity between the two families, but originally, we didn’t want to depend on your family, but if you want us to come, then we aren't going to refuse your invitation!" This time Alice was the one to answer.
“Then feel welcomed on planet Orbon, our headquarters! Please follow me. Our place is close by.” She said as she indicated with her hands for us to follow her. “Also Shao Lin, sorry for making you wait here, then leaving without going anywhere...” She said as she turned on her heels and had a sorry face on.
“Don’t worry about it, Miss! I serve your family anyway, so it doesn’t matter.” The pilot answered with an unbothered face, which to Shao Xiu answered with a - “Thanks.” She went ahead and we followed after her. It didn’t take long, their ‘place’ was actually a huge castle right in the middle of the city. It also had a huge courtyard with a beautiful flower garden and a little park.
There were trees around the lake in the park and there was a little island in the middle of the lake. You could access the little island in the middle only by going through a bridge. There were even a bench and a table under the lush greenery.
On the bench, sat a thirty-five to forty looking man drinking tea. He was at the ninth stage of Space Founding Realm. Shao Xiu led us there and told us to sit down. We followed her request obediently. She was very polite to us up till now so we aren’t going to be impolite either. The man sitting there was Shao Xian, father of Shao Xiu. It was our first meeting with him!
