Chapter 80 Not Just A Normal Mask

"Lord Cyrus?" Hilda asked with a tingle of redness in her milky white neck from Cyrus's blunt invitation.

"It seemed you have woken up earlier than me." Cyrus coolly chuckled, "It doesn't matter. If you want, you can join me, this water is better than any soap you ever use, and it's good for the skin. If you're concerned about clothing, don't worry, I'm covering what I should cover. You don't need to be shy around me."

Hilda was speechless since it was not about shyness at all. Cyrus was literally inviting her to take a bath with him without any hint of shame. However, when she thought about that lingering stench and then smelled that unique scent coming from the pool, she couldn't resist.

'He said he's wearing clothes, so I should be fine if I wear to.' She thought.

"Alright, thank you for this." She said faintly as the blush on her neck deepened.

"You made a good decision. To get rid of the stench of impurities is not easy." Cyrus commented before he snapped his finger, and a long bathing robe appeared in front of Hilda.

Hilda was even more embarrassed by Cyrus's blunt words. Still, she quickly picked up the bathing robe, which was made with thin black silk, and changed after taking cover behind a tree.

After she appeared, she was wearing the black silk robe which reviled half of her long slender legs. The robe was wrapped around her extremely slim wrist and her upper body tightly, revealing her buxom, hourglass figure, especially her long deep cleavage.

If she didn't want to use that pool, she wouldn't wear such a robe. But she knew it would be rude for her to reject this robe since Cyrus was offering her a dip in the pool, which was clearly extraordinary.

With a shade of red, Hilda quickly entered the pool and sat down in another corner, and started splashing water over her mask. Instantly, she felt warmth. She thought with all that steam rising, Cyrus won't be able to see her.

However, what happened next made her eyes widen, she heard another snap of fingers before all that steam blew off from the pool, and the strange thing was there was no wind at all.

But she didn't have time to care as now. She could clearly see Cyrus, who was sitting right in front of her with this strange grin on his face.

The most embarrassing thing was Cyrus was naked, and only his crotch was covered with a towel, and the water was so clear she could see his entire masculine body, which seemed to be carved by God himself.

But the thing was, Cyrus could also see her as now, her robe was soaked. It wrapped around her body tightly, revealing even more. Although it didn't become transparent, two 'eyes' were pretty clear around her big chest.

She felt she was tricked by Cyrus and quickly covered her chest, but she didn't leave the pool as she felt all that stench was washing away with that water.

"I told you there's no need to get embarrassed around me. Besides, we are both covering our core areas." Cyrus smilingly said as there wasn't any hint of lust in his eyes, and they were clear without any nefarious thoughts.

This made Hilda somewhat less embarrassed. She was very sensitive toward nefarious gazes, and Cyrus appeared as if he didn't see her perfect seductive figure at all. This also made her feel a strange emotion that she was unaware of.

Cyrus, on the other hand, knew the eyes were the window of the soul, and if you want to conquer a woman, you should give her respect first and treat her equally, not some object of your desires.

As long as he won't make her uncomfortable, she would start to feel less distant from him even while he was sitting naked like this.

Besides, he had already told her that their relationship was going to be far more than just companions, so it would only help her break out of her shell and accept their relationship sooner.

After Hilda saw Cyrus was calmly sitting there and he even closed his eyes while leaning his head back, she felt even less uneasy.

'Did he really didn't care about my body at all?' She wondered with a strange emotion in her heart while she splashed more water on her face and stopped hiding her chest.

All the reaming stench was finally gone, and she could now even feel the water making her skin smoother and her complexion rosy.

"I-is this created by Qi?" She couldn't help but ask Cyrus while looking at the naked man who seemed to be sleeping.

Now that she looked at Cyrus's otherworldly body closely, she had to admit he was the most handsome man she had ever seen, and he didn't seem a liar who liked to hide his desire behind his lies.

Although he is powerful and mysterious, he has his strange code while dealing with stuff.

Cyrus didn't open his eyes and answered, "It's made with Yin and Yang Qi more precisely. Only with these two Qi combined can someone create anything from nothing, even at mortal rank. Or if someone is a deity, then they can also turn elements into anything, but Yin and Yang are still superior when it comes to creation."

Hilda's eyes fluttered, "Are Yin and Yang superior to destruction?"

Cyrus finally opened his eyes and looked at Hilda meaningfully, "If you want an answer come sit beside me. I'll also check your cultivation progress. Of course, unless you want to wait before we take this bath?"

Hilda was startled and didn't know what to say, but in the end, she collected her courage and stood up, and she instantly regretted it because her robe was now attached to her skin, and she appeared almost naked. Even her round belly button was showing.

However, she was stunned when she saw Cyrus was still looking at her like before, without any ripple in his eyes. That strange emotion intensified, and she even stopped panicking before she walked toward him with a hint of dissatisfaction in her captivating eyes.

But she then sat a few inches away from Cyrus while looking at him deeply.

"Give me your hand." Cyrus moved his hand while pretending to didn't see her strange gaze.

Hilda placed her soft hand in his, and anticipation shimmered in her eyes as she knew she had progressed quite a lot and wanted to see his reaction.

However, to her surprise, Cyrus remained calm and said, "You have reached the late Qi gathering stage of the Qi Gathering Realm. Very close to Body Qi Tempering Realm. But this progress is quite slow with your deity talent."

"This is slow?" She nearly snapped at him.

Cyrus didn't reply, and his eyes narrowed ever so slightly as he looked at her with scrutiny. Hilda's eyes fluttered as her neck flushed when she felt his piercing gaze on her face.

"This mask of yours?" His eyes suddenly shimmered in crimson before turning blue before they returned to normal.

Hilda was startled as her heart skipped a beat when he said those words.

This time, Cyrus was frowning, "This is not just a normal mask, right?"

Hilda quickly nodded, "Yes, this was given to me by the Temple Priest of Silver Wing Dimension."

She didn't instantly tell him about the story behind it as she wanted to see why Cyrus brought it up all of a sudden. She was already planning to seek his opinion about this mask, which seemed to stick to her face now.

However, Cyrus had noticed it on his own abruptly, but why only now, why not yesterday?

Cyrus's frown deepened, "What kind of power does that priest have?"

"I don't know. But he's the strongest person in the silver wing dimension, and he controls everything. We normally called the priest-level figures Legendary Experts." She answered with uncertainty.

"Can you take this mask off? I mean, can you willingly put it on or off?" Cyrus asked another question without removing his eyes from her silver mask. The frown on his face was gone, and a cold glint surfaced in his eyes.

Hilda knew Cyrus might've discovered something which was apparent from his facial expressions. So, she knew it was time to reveal how she got it and what happened just half an hour ago when she tried to remove it.

Cyrus heard her entire explanation from start to finish, and his expression was now frosty.

"It seemed I'm right." He spoke, "I wasn't able to sense this mask yesterday, most likely because it's an ascension grade magic item, and it was synchronized with your magic core fully, so it was able to hide from my silver grade probing spell and spell from the cosmic wonders of universal physiques also only work on physiques, not treasures.

"You see, treasures used with Qi are known as Qi items. The treasures driven by Soul energy or Soul Qi are known as Soul Items. And last but not least, the treasures compatible with magic energy or Mana are known as Magic Items…"
