Chapter 2292: Rare Event

?

Rui knew that he probably shouldn't have indulged his urges and lust, especially in those circumstances. He was the formal ambassador of the Martial Union and the Kandrian Empire. It reflected poorly on both those organizations if he engaged in illicit activities while representing them.

Yet, it was precisely because of these circumstances that he felt deeply aroused.

Back in the Kandrian Empire, his status had reached unprecedented levels for any Martial Master, achieving a realm of political and Martial power that was extraordinarily high even by the standards of Martial Sages.

If he desired women, he could have himself an ocean of them.

Yet, all of them sought him for status as a Master, his status as the informal crown prince, his status as the diamond boy of the Martial Union. Without them, they would be gone, which turned him off. The effort it took to find a partner that wasn't primarily driven by such greed was too much.

K'Mala, however, had no idea that he was the prince of the Kandrian Empire. She didn't know that he was an extremely important person in the Martial Union. Of course, she was well aware of his Martial power, and that was primarily why she lusted after him.

Still...

It felt more personal than any advance he had ever received from most other women after returning to the Kandrian Empire. It deeply turned him on for the first time in years as he proceeded to fully indulge in his lust in abandon.

An entire day passed by the time they were done.

"Huff...huff...huff..."

The two lay on the ground as they panted heavily, exhausted.

"I... accept your offer." She remarked, resting her head on his chest. "I look forward to seeing what the world has to offer. That island is too small for me now that I have reached the fourth rank."

"You probably shouldn't be limited that you can effortlessly destroy with a single attack. The Kandrian Empire has training resources that could fully contain the might of the Master in a small region. You can train and fight to your heart's content while you're there."

She ran her fingers through his abdomen with an excited smile.

"We even have thought techniques that have gotten even more popular after I became Master; it's still not too late for you to explore the full depth of your capacity for thought.

That you make her more enthusiastic about accepting his offer.

She looked forward to making the most of her potential.

She looked forward to learning about the power of a Higher Realm.

There was a lot that she looked forward to.

As for her tribe.

"Hmph." Her eyes flared with cold resentment. "I'm done with those ungrateful fools. I tried to educate them, to show them a life beyond meaningless daily violence. But, they only resent me for it. Why should I sacrifice myself for people who don't appreciate the future that I'm trying to lead them to? I will miss the children, but there is a limit to how much I can do as well."

In other words, she was abandoning the G'ak'arkan Tribe.

It was not a light decision.

Normally, the G'ak'arkan Tribe punished all those who abandoned the tribe with a public execution.

In this case, however, the G'ak'arkan Tribe was sorely lacking in power to enforce that norm. Rui was sure that N'Kulu and K'Ahru would be extremely happy to hear about her decision to leave the Tribe. It was in line with the goal that they had originally requested of Rui, but he fulfilled it in a way that benefited all parties involved.

"I'm sure that the Martial Union will be happy to accommodate you."

Getting new Masters was always a good thing.

"Fighting you, however, has taught me that I'm sorely lacking in awareness of how battles between Masters are fought on the mainland are fought." She frowned.

This was not a small problem.

Still, it was far from insurmountable.

"It can be solved; we can get you a large amount of training in a short amount of time," Rui reassured her.

"Mmm...I look forward to that," she replied drowsily, slowly falling asleep in his arms.

The exhaustion and strain from the Mind took over as they fell asleep for quite some time. Until, of course, they woke up.

When Rui opened his eyes, he jolted upward with a shock as his senses spread around, inspecting their surroundings for any threats.

"Stupid, should have gotten back to the island first." He massaged his forehead, cursing himself.

He was lucky to be alive, considering how many people wanted to kill him.

He glanced at her sleeping peacefully as he realized that he was more impulsive than he had realized. Just the fact that he learned more about himself was worth the risks he had

undertaken.

After that, he woke K'Mala up as they swiftly headed back to Vilun Island and the village.

"There you are..." Master Ceeran peered suspiciously. "I was wondering if I should raise the

alarm back home."

"Did you?" Rui's eyes widened.

"No, but what were you doing all this time?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Sparring, of course," Rui replied in a perfectly nonchalant voice. "What did you think we were doing?"

He raised an eyebrow, throwing a dubious expression at Master Ceeran.

Unfortunately, while he was well-trained in controlling his body language, the same could not be said about K'Mala, who could not help but recall everything that they had gone and done in the heat of the moment.

"Sparring... was it?" Master Ceeran peered suspiciously at her.

Whether he had merely suspicions or had figured out the truth, he didn't interrogate them any further, much to Rui's relief.

That day, K'Mala made her announcement to the G'ak'arakan Tribe regarding her decision to step down as the chieftain and to leave the G'ak'arkan Tribe.

Her announcement was met with positivity, which only made her more determined to leave.

"Mission accomplished," Rui told Master Ceeran. "Told you it would only take a day."

"Yes, I'm sure your 'unconventional methods' were highly useful in winning over her heart," Master Ceeran snorted.

Rui smiled wryly at his words. "I suppose they were."
