15 XV (My Favourite Number)

'System, where are my rewards for cultivation goals five and six?'

[System: I forgor.]

'Bruh…'

[System: Well, you were busy treasure hunting and all that. I didn't want to break you out of your zone. Since that's over… the rewards are…]

'It said divine blood for the fifth goal and a question mark for the sixth…'

[System: Do you know why the water seed was crucial?]

'The divine blood has something to do with water?'

[System: Bingo. The fifth goal reward was thirteen drops of the Blue Dragon's origin blood. The sixth was its follow-up, granting the complete legacy which includes the soul, origin power and even body.]

'Sheesh… the Blue Dragon… those five thousand hours were really worth it. But can my body even handle all of these legacies? Yun Che had some nothingness shenanigans…'

[System: The Nine-Headed Dragon consumes all.]

'A little edgy there…'

[System: Your legacy is one that consumes and assimilates… binding other legacies into one. Hence, you don't need to worry about them clashing against each other.]

'That's neat…' Rokas took note, nodding with approval. 'So, where's my Blue Dragon Legacy?'

[System: Right here.]

A blue light flashed from within as divine blood poured in. The Blue Dragon Blood merged with the rest, creating a mythical hybrid that supported the Berserk Attribute, Phoenix and Blue Dragon all at once. Then came the Blue Dragon's Soul Origin, Spirit and even the Blue Dragon Body… merging with what Rokas already had gained from the Yun Che and the Phoenix.

'This tough skin… heh, my endurance won't be as lacking anymore.'

…

Meanwhile, Xia Qingyue went to speak with both Murong Qianxue and Chu Yueli, her direct master. Once she explained the situation and how beneficial it was to cultivate alongside Rokas, the two fairies agreed to allow her to leave with him. It did take some convincing but Xia Qingyue was rather good at twisting words. However, they only granted her a year of leave at the most.

"While you are away, don't forget yourself and break any of the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace's rules…" Chu Yueli urged, furrowing her brows.

"Qingyue understands." Xia Qingyue firmly nodded, knowing exactly what she was implying.

"Good…"

After some rest and a breakthrough into the Emperor Profound Realm for Rokas, they all travelled to the capital. Well, it was more of Rokas flying and the other two chilling in his Inner World. Within a few days, Rokas descended upon the Blue Wind Imperial Palace alongside Cang Yue.

Cang Yue immediately called for an audience with her father and was let in rather swiftly, joining Cang Wanhe's bedside. Rokas slowly paced behind her, feeling a little nervous. This was, after all, his gyal's father. He didn't want to make a bad first impression.

"It's good that you've come back. It's good that you've… come back." Cang Wanhe looked like he had seen better days as he repeated his words. For someone only fifty-seven years old and with some profound strength, he looked like he was pushing eighty or even ninety. Old and withered, Rokas couldn't recall seeing anyone look quite so old in a while. "How was… the Blue WInd Ranking Tournament?"

"Royal Father… your daughter was able to make royal father's dream come true." Cang Yue smiled as she came closer, grabbing his hand. "Not only did the Blue Wind Imperial Family break one hundred… but your daughter also took first place."

"First… place…?" Cang Wanhe couldn't believe it, blinking several times. He knew his daughter wouldn't lie to him, however. "Aha… first place… the Blue Wind Imperial Family. If it were not for those unfilial sons… I could die without regrets. But… how did you accomplish… such an impossible feat, my daughter?"

"With the assistance of this young man." Cang Yue turned to Rokas before looking back to her father. "I've told you about him a few times before…"

"Ah… Long Ke… the man who… humbled the Burning Heaven Clan… ahaha." Cang Wanhe managed a laugh. However, it was followed by several rough coughs. "Cough … even… cough… laughter is… difficult."

"Your Majesty." Rokas walked over, withdrawing the Burning Soul Flower from his inner world. When he raided the Burning Heaven Clan, he had made sure to take it. Since he wasn't all too proficient with the Profound Handle and confident in removing parasites… this method was much more convenient.

"If you would, please consume this flower. I guarantee that it would make you feel better."

"What… is… it?"

"The Burning Soul Flower," Rokas replied simply, following it up with some waffle. "It has a soul-detach feature to it that has proven to be capable of removing more mysterious ailments. Regarding rarity…"

[System: Should I add the professional waffler skill to your list of abilities?]

"That flower used to be one of the Burning Heaven Clan's most sacred treasures…"

"To me, such a price is nothing compared to seeing you happy." Rokas smiled, giving the flower to Cang Yue.

"... Hah… Long Ke… you are quite the… romantic." Cang Wanhe laughed. "Cough… my daughter… give it here."

Cang Yue nodded, giving the Burning Soul Flower to her father. Afterwards, he simply placed it in his mouth and swallowed it.

'Can't say that I've seen someone eat a flower before… guess there's a first time for everything.'

Within a minute or so, Cang Wanhe began to regain his colour. "I do… feel better."

"An ailment tied to the soul… I would be suspecting whichever doctor is 'treating' you, Your Majesty." Rokas took a deep breath before proceeding with his waffling. "After all, it is no secret that the princes have been fighting against each other. Perhaps… the doctor was in on their schemes. I have a way to be one-hundred per cent certain regarding these matters."

"Oh… do tell." Cang Wanhe nodded. "If I find out that those unfilial sons thought of assassinating me… arrest would be the least of their problems."

"I have an ability that allows me to search one's soul. Whoever is suspect to it, cannot lie."

"I see…"

…

Immediately, Cang Wanhe called for the crown prince Cang Lin. A detachment of his royal guard went to bring him over.

"What's this…" Cang Lin looked around, frowning deeply as he saw Rokas casually playing with a profound energy dagger.

"You may all leave." Cang Wanhe instructed his guards, who left without hesitation. Meanwhile, Cang Lin was sensing that something was… off. Very wrong.

"Do stay still, crown prince." Rokas dispersed his dagger and stepped towards him, grabbing his arm.

"What are you doing? Don't touch me, you foreigner…"

Rokas let out his profound handle, aiming it towards Cang Lin's head. Instantly, the Profound Handle Soul Search session came underway. Interrogating someone so weak… was child's play.

"Right… I'll start with some simple questions to show you that it works quite well. Cang Lin, what was the last sentence that you said?"

"Don't touch me, you foreigner…"

Cang Yue and Cang Wanhe's eyes widened as they keenly observed the soul search.

"Why did you borrow the power of the Xiao Sect?"

"To… suppress my younger brother, the third prince, and secure my succession."

"Of course…" Cang Yue nodded, frowning deeply.

"What is your type of woman?" Rokas wondered, stroking his chin.

"I love women with large buttocks. There's so much to touch, feel and squeeze… what is life without such women?"

"..." Cang Yue was speechless for a moment, blushing as she looked at Rokas. "Was that an appropriate question?"

"... It seems that the crown prince and I have similar tastes in this regard." Rokas chuckled a little. "Did you plot with Gu Qiuhong to poison your father? Also, did the third prince also play a part in it?"

"Yes… and I ensured that he would be paid handsomely upon my father's death." Cang Lin managed a smile. "The only thing that my brother and I could ever agree on… was that it was time for him to die."

"..." Cang Wanhe frowned, anger flashing in his eyes. "I've seen enough."

"Alright." Rokas let go, releasing Cang Lin from the soul search.

"What… happened?" Cang Lin blinked, looking around with a confused expression as everyone looked down at him.

Rokas shrugged. "Some guys are getting executed."

…

[Cang Yue (Lovers VI) Confidant Rank: 7 → 8]

…

Within days of recovering, Cang Wanhe consolidated his power as the Blue Wind Emperor. The crown and third princes were both arrested before being publicly arrested for dozens of crimes. These crimes included, but were not limited to, rebellion and patricide. Alongside the princes, members of their camps and the 'medical saint' Gu Qiuhong were also executed. Observing it personally, Rokas was shocked by how ruthless he was.

After the whole affair, Cang Wanhe gave his blessing to the love between Cang Yue and Rokas.

"I cannot express my thanks enough, Long Ke." Cang Wanhe smiled as he firmly grabbed his shoulder. "You have restored my health, exposed those treacherous sons and given my Blue Wind Imperial Family prestige that it never had. For my daughter to marry such a brilliant young man… hahaha… this Emperor has no regrets!"

'So this is the boisterous temperament of an Emperor…'

"When will the marriage ceremony be, royal father?" Cang Yue inquired.

"As soon as you two wish!" Cang Wanhe replied, letting out a hearty laugh.

Two weeks later.

As was tradition, Rokas wore red garments with golden Phoenix patterns elegantly weaved into the cloth. Meanwhile, Cang Yue wore a dress of similar colours. They went through the traditions of a wedding, eventually leading up to the wedding night. Rokas, having to toast so many guests, should've been completely wasted. However… due to the Sky Poison Pearl, he avoided being intoxicated in any way.

'So that's how it feels to drink alcohol… I much prefer soda.'

He opened the door to their room, admittedly feeling a little nervous. Despite being a man of great culture, he was still very much a virgin. The thought of doing it himself, especially with someone so beautiful and whom he loved… was both exciting and nerve-racking.

[System: Are you seriously worried?]

'Shut up.'

(R-18 scene incoming, hide the kids.)

"... You look quite dashing in those robes, my dear husband." Cang Yue remarked with a sweet smile as she stood and softly brushed her palm against his chest. "But… I think you'd look better without them."

"... I can say the same for your dress." Rokas smiled slightly, caressing her cheek. 'System… how do I effectively remove a girl's dress?'

[System: You figure that out.]

'... L system.'

"About that… I'm not all that experienced." Rokas admitted.

"Neither am I."

Rokas learned the ways as he helped Cang Yue undress. Dresses weren't nearly as complicated as he had thought. Although, men's clothing were much easier to remove either way. It took him like five seconds max.

Afterwards, they joined in bed… and well, slowly but surely, nature took its course. They started to intermingle, touching and kissing each other in various ways. The session was a little clumsy but it was full of sweet love nonetheless. For a first-timer, Rokas knew the sweet spots from his time being a man of culture and author. Once he got over his nervousness… this began to show more.

Cang Yue looked down at Rokas' rod which was more than up for it.

"We… should take the next step."

Hearing Cang Yue give consent in her sweet voice, Rokas nodded. It was something he had been looking forward to… and yet, as the beautiful Cang Yue was laying down below him, he hesitated.

'Why am I…'

"What are you waiting for? Just do it!"

'Was that… Shia Labeouf in my head?' Rokas smiled slightly, taking a deep breath. 'Alright… I just… slowly slide it in.'

Grabbing it with his left hand, he precisely slipped his tip inside of Cang Yue. He kept pushing forward at a slow pace until his rod in its entirety had been taken inside of her tight walls. For a moment, he stood in surprise. It was a heavenly feeling, truly.

"Mn~…" Cang Yue let out a moan, feeling him inside her.

'So… this is… how it feels.'

[System: Actual virgin.]

'When did I say I wasn't!?'

[System: Well, you aren't anymore. Get used to it… kek.]

Rokas started moving, slowly pulling back and sliding back in at full-length. He was going at his own pace… and then Cang Yue asked him to go faster.

"Don't be shy… I know you can go faster than that."

"You sure…?"

"Mn… of course-"

'Alright… time to quicken the pace.'

Back and forth…. back and forth… he started to develop a quickening rhythm that made Cang Yue's moans even louder. Spurred by them, he kept going even quicker until she was grasping the bedsheets so hard Rokas thought she'd rip them off!

"Ah… husband… truly is… a dragon… mnn~…"

After a while, he decided to switch positions, gently pulling up Cang Yue and placing her on all fours. Cang Yue blushed red… although she did not reject the arrangement.

"Quite bold… to place me in such a position-"

"You'll feel good… I promise…"

Rokas' eyes gave off a charming golden lustre as he grinned, placing his rod back into where it was before.

"Ahh~"

He placed his hands on her plentiful ass cheeks as he pushed his dick forward and back. Eventually, his 'touch', turned into a squeeze once his confidence gradually grew. He went faster this time… ravaging her rather helpless pussy.

All the more, she submitted control to him… willingly being conquered by her man.

"Yes… oh… that feels so… good… don't stop…" Cang Yue deeply blushed, muttering words unbecoming of a princess. "Make Cang Yue… yours… ohhh~. Conquer… this… wife-"

"Mhm…" Rokas spurred further, pushed her down until her ass alone was high in the air, exposed to all that he would do. He continued to have his way, going home again and again inside of Cang Yue. He kept breeding her… growing even more daring as time passed.

Slap.

"Ah…~"

He spanked her once, a little gently. As he relentlessly thrust his rod inside of Cang Yue, he started spanking her more often. Since she seemed to like it… he didn't hesitate as much.

After countless more thrusts… even the dragon could not keep it in any longer.

"Ah… I'm… coming…!"

Eventually… he climaxed, flooding his seed inside. He slipped it out right after, taking several quick breaths. He sat down beside the ruined-looking Cang Yue. As his 'zone' faded, he looked at her with a concerned expression.

"Did I… do too much?"

"No…" Cang Yue shook her head, caressing the side of his face. "You were wonderful… but…"

"But?"

"Now it's… my turn."

She pushed him down.

Rokas gave an eager smile. Being ridden on… tis was the stuff of dreams!

"As you wish, princess wife…"

Their wedding night was quite wild, to be sure…

Rokas had discovered that he liked being dominant but was not against giving away 'control'. It was strange for a rather shy person… he couldn't believe it himself.

'Man… I think I can get addicted to this whole sex thing.' Rokas thought to himself the morning after as he Clothes Beamed himself. He looked to his side, observing Cang Yue who was sleeping peacefully. He gave her a peck on the cheek before walking off to a cultivation room.

[System: Congratulations on bagging a baddy! You've unlocked Shared Growth C. In essence, it amplifies the bonuses you and your lover (especially your lover) earn from dual-cultivation. Confidant rank also plays into this… being more effective the higher it is.]

[System: You've also unlocked the music feature from me. Play away anything that you can imagine.]

'Play happy.'

[Playing Happy by Pharell Williams]

'Oh yeah… that's the vibe I'm feeling.'

Rokas smiled as he walked through the corridors of the Imperial Palace.

'… It's about time I start mixing fire and ice. I wonder… can I make steam or… extremely hot water? Absurdly hot water sounds pretty deadly to me.'

[System: Go for it, champ.]
