Chapter 70 Miss Black's Life Choices (*)
Nami took her time enjoying her snack which gave Number One some time to think about their future and look through the new loot he received. He wasn't really expecting a lot since it was just an Orange Storage Ring but that made him realize how twisted his perception of reality was.
It was already impressive to have their own Storage Ring at this young age as most teens didn't even have one. It was all because Number One had only been dealing with powerful experts when his career didn't even start. He was yet to enter the main Soul Academy which was the true beginning for every Soul Artist.
"We really need to calm down and focus on our training once we get back to the Academy," Number One informed after a short thought. "We only have three weeks left so let's take full advantage of it. You can master the Soul Arts you wanted while I can resume my own schedule."
Number One's Alchemy business was a long-term project so it wasn't really his priority for now. He was still yet to use up the potential of the golden bowl which meant the Soul Training Room would be his best friend for a while.
"When you are talking about taking full advantage…" Nami muttered while leaving passionate kisses. "Does that mean I can have you whenever I want?"
"Is that all you think about?" Number one questioned speechlessly while caressing her wet hair and Nami didn't even hesitate with an answer.
"Yes, I love it," Nami confirmed with a wiggle of her tongue. "I don't think I will ever get bored of it. We still have so much to try. If my sister wasn't watching, we could even do it right here on the sand…"
"It's not like you are bothered with her anyway," Number One pointed out but he immediately regretted his words. Nami's eyes brightened which forced him to thrust his hips on his own to distract her dirty mind.
Liss' Storage Ring turned out to have quite a massive collection. Even though she barely had any Earth Rank Soul Herbs, the whole space was stacked with common herbs and other Alchemy ingredients. They were mostly used to studying the basics of Alchemy but Number One didn't hate it. Making Common Pills would actually help him stay under the radar and he could also earn some money in the process.
Number One found a sack of a hundred Orange Soul Crystals as well but he quickly disregarded them upon noticing the familiar Student Badge. His eyes brightened at the thought of transferring the Contribution Points to himself only to recall that Liss was dead. The Academy would naturally confiscate everything once they found out about their seniors' death.
'Only Captain Jack and Baldy know about it. I might need to pull some favors to keep it a secret for now,' Number One wondered and kept the Storage Ring inside his heavenly space. He was always worried they would be destroyed upon storing them but it turned out he was overthinking for nothing.
The heavenly space was definitely a mess after filling it with the Emerald Milk and all other Soul Herbs which forced Number One to think of ways to segregate his possessions.
"Let's finish quickly and return," Number One suggested as he finally focused on Nami who had been too patient with him. He had a habit of drifting away with his thoughts but the pleasure made him unable to focus on anything else.
Number One didn't focus on his surroundings since they had Miss Black guarding them from above but there was one person watching them and it was Miss Black herself. Her eyes were shining with Soul Vision activated and she observed the lewd techniques her sister displayed.
"This pervert…" Miss Black commented out loud with a stupefied expression. "What did he do to my sister? She acts as if she licks the tastiest candy…"
Nami had no other partner than Number One in the past so he had to be the one who taught her everything. The movement of her hands or even the usage of her tongue that glided from the bottom as she swallowed him whole. It all looked like she had practiced many times yet it has only been a week.
"How many times did they do it already…?" Miss Black wondered before swallowing while watching intensely. Even though she pretended to be fine, she could still feel the pleasure from just his fingers alone.
'Stop it!' Miss Black scolded herself for even thinking about the other possible option. 'You are a strong and independent woman. You don't need a man.'
Miss Black forced herself to look away while doing a few circles around the lake but then she stumbled upon the last few moments of Number One's ecstasy. She watched the pure satisfaction on Nami's face and she refused to believe that Number One tasted this good.
"It's all the power of Heavenly Feathers that are affecting her," Miss Black convinced herself and stopped thinking about it. The influence this cursed Soul Art had on the person's mind was one thing she hated about it.
Miss Black already decided to never Dual-cultivate again which was the main reason why she wanted to make the Soul Shattering Pill. It would allow her to shatter her Soul and rebuild it from scratch. She would be able to finally forget about her curse which forced her to lose her innocence against her will.
"Are you two done?" Miss Black questioned from afar as she returned to pick up the two lovers. "The hunting team should be done with the Emerald Viper by the time we return."
"One second!" Nami called out while squeezing the last drops onto her tongue. "It's so good that I can't let it go to waste."
Miss Black's expression changed as her thoughts from before returned. "Did he use some kind of curse to make you so addicted? This is not normal and you need some medical attention."
"Yes, it's love," Nami replied shamelessly and let go with an innocent smile. "You will also feel it if you give the Heavenly Feathers a chance. Now it is too late for you."
"I'm good, thanks. Once I get the Soul Shattering Pill, I will be able to finally cultivate like everyone else," Miss Black said coldly while staring at Number One who was wearing a dry uniform set without taking off his wet shirt. "Are you waiting for me to turn around?"
"No, why?" Number One questioned confused while extending his palm in front of him. He focused for a second before a white flame burst out on top of his hand.
Both sisters were surprised at the ease of his flame manipulation and they watched him dry his shirt with a few touches of his flame. Number One acted as if it was nothing and just wore his uniform with a few taps to straighten the fabric.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Number One wondered as he noticed the stares. "My Master naturally taught me Alchemy when I was young. Even though I forgot most of it, I still remember some things."
"This level of flame mastery is hard to come by," Miss Black pointed out while squinting her eyes. "It didn't even go out of control and you were able to direct it with ease. That's enough to make Earth Rank or even Heaven Rank Pills. You should be training to be an Alchemist instead of becoming a Soul Artist."
Number One paused for a moment before commenting casually, "My talent might be better than average but I can't compare to my fellow disciple. My Master had already given up on teaching me and I didn't complain since I wanted to be a Soul Artist anyway. I would gladly resume my studies if you want to become my sponsor."
Miss Black immediately looked away while pretending she didn't hear him. "The weather is really nice today, isn't it?"
Everyone thought the Alchemists were extremely rich but one didn't know how expensive it was to raise an Alchemist. One needed to come from a wealthy family or get into serious debt before they could actually start learning about Alchemy.
Miss Black wouldn't care about common herbs but to train on Earth and Heaven Rank Alchemist, she would have to sell all her treasures to cover the expenses and later even sacrifice herself to the devil. Number One wasn't worth it.
"I just happen to know the pill recipe for the Soul Shattering Pill. How about I try to make it for you? We won't need to bother my Master for it if I'm lucky enough," Number One teased with a smile but Miss Black didn't laugh.
"If you dare waste my Soul Herbs I would cut you to pieces even if my sister hates me afterward," Miss Black made herself clear. "I didn't sacrifice years to finally change my life just for you to ruin it."
"What if my Master fails though? He only has one chance after all," Number One pointed out the obvious.
"He won't fail," Miss Black countered with confidence. "He has never failed a single pill so far and every pill he makes comes as a supreme tier. Although he didn't accept any pill orders for the last ten years, it is impossible to lose such a high level of skill. The moment he agrees to make one for me, my life is bound to change."
Number One had a strange reaction to her comment but she didn't think too much about it. She walked up to grab their waists and prepared to set off. "Hold me closely or you will fall off."
