Devouring Monarch: Rebirth of the Profane Phoenix

Chapter 43  The First Date - Afternoon Meal

Asura and Mu Xue left their room shortly after breakfast and shared a brief kiss before heading towards the royal city. "She wants to meet near the first sword of Silvara..." Shortly after leaving, Mu Xue asked if they could go to the city separately.

Her cute face with a light layer of makeup made her even prettier than before, making it impossible to say no. He watched her lovely black dress with dark red shoes skipping away towards the eastern exit while he took the south exit slowly and casually.

'The effect of surprising me just putting the tip inside Xavida...'

[Be careful... it will change forever when it exceeds a certain penetration level.]

[Especially if it's when you break through the intense pleasure and feeling of your dense anima as it reaches a new level, it will cause their feelings and affection towards you to become too strong.]

'What do you mean? It's not some shady technique that makes them my slaves...' 'If so, please remove it.'

[Don't worry]

[It's nothing like that. Instead, it brings out their hidden feelings for you. If they like you, it will be amplified, and they won't be able to hide it anymore...]

[For those that don't even hide it, it might become a little strong like Mu Xue this morning.]

How was she a little crazy and seemed to want to kill Xavida?

[Yeah, but worry not, it won't be constant and only for a short duration after that kind of cultivation...]

[You should focus on training through battle and keep the two separate.]

He walked faster, heading towards the meeting spot, and didn't need to feel worried because. In his heart, he couldn't do it that way because of his trauma.

That act was something special that he only wished to do out of love and affection. He changed his focus now that he knew the feelings were genuine and only those that the girl had initially felt for him.

'Although I won't deny as a male, it's appealing to grow more powerful during sex.' 'However, it's not something I'll do to get stronger, only if I want to be connected to my loved one, and the power will just be a side effect we enjoy together.'

[Good... I knew you would be like that. Those acts are sacred, and the feelings you have now have been important. The moment you use the women you love to get stronger is the moment you have fallen as a man and cultivator.]

Asura didn't respond as he felt amazement each time he came to the capital, even if he had seen this sight hundreds of times, the bustling streets of vendors and tradesmen selling or advertising their wares.

The wide paved roads were full of carriages and people walking around as the smell of cooked food, perfumes, and spices filled his nostrils.

He walked leisurely until reaching the first sword of Silvara, a monument built to honour the Goddess of War, the first Queen, Athea. "It's huge..." The sword was several dozen metres in size and was almost taller than the castle itself. The blade was pointing down into the ground with a constant stream of thick and powerful mana being expelled into the air, filling the capital with a powerful density of mana, increasing the rate at which people grew as mages and warriors.

"Eh? She changed clothes?"

Asura exclaimed as the beautiful Mu Xue stood in a dark red dress; her hair seemed glossier and shimmered in the reflection of the blue magical aura of the sword. He froze for a moment as she waved at him with nervous fingers... "Xue'er?"

Her dress was beautiful, with a strapless dress, with several layers and a sweetheart neckline... the long ballroom-style dress fluttered as she stepped forward, causing him to feel shocked... her hair seemed to be pale white because of casting the magic that entered her body, as Asura rushed forward.

Asura wore a black sleeveless tuxedo with a white undershirt, jacket, and iron fixtures over his shoulders.

Mu Xue giggled as she saw Asura rush forward, his handsome face showing shock and confusion, making her smile.

"Is there a problem?"

She twirled around with a bright smile as the skirt spread like a rose, allowing Asura to see the high heels underneath, making him look shy, as he took her hand and held her close.

"You are the most beautiful existence I have ever met... Never leave my side or sight—I refuse to let you part from me."

Mu Xue asked nervously as Asura smiled, cradling her cheek as he leaned closer and kissed her lips softly... "Of course... You are the most beautiful! Nothing comes close to my Xue'er."

As if their roles were reversed from the morning. Mu Xue's heart, this time, fluttered as she felt his hot magic flooding into her, causing her hair to remain silvery white because of her magic's strange aura and overaction.

"Asura... am I pretty?"

Mu Xue asked nervously as Asura smiled, cradling her cheek as he leaned closer and kissed her lips softly... "Of course... You are the most beautiful! Nothing comes close to my Xue'er."

Asura answered without hesitation, causing Mu Xue to hug him tightly, her eyes glistening with tears as she buried her face into his chest... "Thank you!"

They stood before the sword for a few minutes, enjoying the feeling of magic entering their bodies, enhancing their growth speed.

Its visual look from a distance made it seem like the pair were in the middle of the ocean, but that thick ocean was in the face of the magic and mana expelled like a thick smokey energy by the sword. Mu Xue raised her head and looked up at Asura's calm face with a smile.

"Should we head towards the restaurant?"

Mu Xue nodded happily, holding Asura's arm with her hands as they slowly wandered towards the noble restaurant he booked using the academy terminal—she enjoyed the stares of jealousy and desire from many of the female passersby, causing her to giggle happily and swing his hand.

"Asura... can we come here every week?"

Asura thought momentarily before considering the future, "How about we make it a special monthly event? Once training starts, it will be hard to get more than a day or so off."

Mu Xue nodded, returning to the training program the teachers had announced. They planned to begin in two days to allow everyone to rest after the two events, and it wouldn't be easy with the training regime set up... "Promise?"

"Promise," Asura replied with a smile, enjoying her clingy behaviour. He felt happy as he held Mu Xue's soft hands with their arms locked together. He noticed a familiar figure approaching with an uncomfortable expression, but just sneered and held the soft waist of Mu Xue even tighter.

While she only noticed Asura right now, her blue shimmering eyes watched his face, fingers filled with pure bliss.

It was the prince, walking with a limp and his waist wrapped in a thick layer of bandages, but Asura and Mu Xue ignored him before entering the private and elegant restaurant for nobles.

He didn't have the poor taste to make any trouble for the restaurant's hard-working people as he took the reservation parchment and his noble signet ring to show them, but the staff was amazing and seemed well-studied with his noble symbols.

"Welcome to our restaurant, Lord Asura, Lady Mu Xue."

A tall, elegant waiter greeted them with a deep bow, leading them towards a reserved table. The prince clenched his fists in anger, glaring at Asura with rage as he watched them enter together happily. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"My prince, shall we eat elsewhere?"

His maid suggested, trying to help the angry prince, but he refused. "No! I'm going there." The prince limped forward, ignoring the stares of the guests, as he arrived at the entrance and demanded a table next to theirs.

The manager frowned but couldn't refuse and led him towards the nearby table, causing Asura to frown but ignore him as Mu Xue sat opposite him.

The menu was expensive and delicious-looking dishes, but it wasn't what caught Mu Xue's attention. Instead, it was the view...

"Asura! This place has such a superb view of Silvara's sword."

"Does it? Let's see. Well, it certainly is beautiful."

Mu Xue exclaimed happily, looking through the window with a childish smile and sparkling eyes, causing Asura to nod and order several dishes as he tried to block out the annoying presence gazing at him like a betrayed lover.
