Astral Douluo

Due to unexpected circ.u.mstances, the school bus got to the dorms at around eleven. Everyone went straight to bed, tired after the strenuous day. They did fight against the best of the Shrek's Seven Devils after all!

Getting out of the shower, Tang Xingxi was the last one in bed. It was about twelve. Laying down in bed, Tang Xingxi cultivated under the guise of sleep.

Entering his spirit sea, he found Kuroji and Aura waiting for him.

"Hello master, welcome back," they said, bowing slightly.

Responding with a smile, Tang Xingxi walked over to where his bloodlines were chained. During his battle with Tang San, his faults were found instantly. First off, even though he had his Alucard bloodline, spirit power senses and eye bloodline, he couldn't realize that Tang San's body was a fake.

Now, his Alucard bloodline may have been fooled because it tracks blood, and Tang San is partly Blue-Silver Grass but with his spiritual sensing and illusion eye, he couldn't tell the difference! That was the first thing he needed to do, train his observational abilities.

The second thing he needed to do, was to get accustomed to using his bloodlines and star powers. He realized that he barely used his star-related abilities, though, he didn't have many to begin with, which he plans to remedy with his third spirit ring. He also realized that he barley used his bloodline abilities.

Only using them sparingly, except for the long-range fight, made him realize that he wasn't fighting to his full potential.

Seeing these, Tang Xingxi decided to train in these. Deciding to get a star-related ability first, he decided to enter the gate inside his spirit sea. The entrance to his personal spirit ascension platform, Tang Xingxi was going to step into it until he felt something odd.

Exiting his spirit sea, he opened his eyes in the real world only to find two warm lips pressed against his own. Belonging to a black-haired maiden, her hair fell loosely at her back. Passionately kissing Tang Xingxi, Gu Yue was lost in her own world, thinking the target of her affection was still cultivating.

Seeing this, Tang Xingxi let her do as she wished for a moment. His eyes passionately looking at her beautiful face, Tang Xingxi slowly lifted his hands, so as to not alert Gu Yue. Holding them by her cheeks, Tang Xingxi pushed his palms against her face.

Feeling the sudden touch, Gu Yue opened her gorgeous purple eyes only to see Tang Xingxi's passionate amber gaze staring back at her. Realizing what just happened, Gu Yue blushed profusely, her eyes showing embarrassment. 'W-w-what! I thought he was asleep! No, no, no, what am I supposed to say now! ' she thought as she pulled away from Tang Xingxi's lips, shaking her blushing face hidden by her petite hands.

Chuckling slightly at the sight, Tang Xingxi pulled her hands away, earning a cute squeal in return. Her blush spread all over her face like an anime character, her lavender eyes reflecting in the moonlight, and her nervous and embarrassed expression finishing the job, Tang Xingxi thought, 'So cuuuuuute!'

Moving his right hand behind her back, Tang Xingxi pulled her closer. Locking eyes at each other for a moment, they lunged at each other's lips. Passionately making out for a few minutes, their lips intertwined countless times.

Releasing each other from their grasps, a small strand of spit lay between their lips.

Locking gazes with each other once more, Tang Xingxi saw an urgency in her eyes. Knowing this was not the right time, Tang Xingxi asked, "How about we talk in my spirit sea?"

Not even feeling the slightest of surprise, Gu Yue nodded. Sitting crosslegged, Tang Xingxi held her hand and connected with her spiritually. Establishing the connection, Tang Xingxi brought Gu Yue into his spirit sea.

Knowing that this was not the time to sightsee, Tang Xingxi ordered, "Aura, make a space in here where she and I can talk without being seen. Preferably one I can modify."

"Alright master," a voice said before a golden light enveloped the couple.

When the light died down, Tang Xingxi and Gu Yue were in a white space. Waving his hand, the area transformed into a metal room with fluorescent blue and green light emanating from the walls, whilst the tiles of the room released white light themselves, though, only at the level of lighting up the room.

Separating from her grasp, Tang Xingxi walked a bit and created a table and two chairs. Seeing her worried expression, Tang Xingxi chuckled slightly before saying in a soothing tone, "It's alright, Aura just manages my spirit sea for me, and she nor my spirit souls may invade. We also have about 600,000 years to spend in here until it hits six because my realm has time dilation."

Nodding her head at the facts, Gu Yue asked, "D-d-do you really love me?"

"Huh?" replied Tang Xingxi, tilting his head at the question.

"B-b-because you said, you and Na'er! And from what I could see, you probably don't seem content with just her! Also, you said you're the reincarnation of the dragon god, but you really don't seem like him! You lied from the beginning!" Gu Yue started blurting out, "Was it all a lie? Did you not want to help me and the spirit beasts? D-d-did you really *sniff sniff* love me?"

Hearing this with an ashfall expression, Tang Xingxi held his head up in regret at not being truthful and hurting Gu Yue's feelings.

Thinking of ways to fix this, Tang Xingxi heard Gu Yue murmur, "B-because, I-I, I can't live without you."

Hearing this, he remembered all the moments they spent together. 'Training her on the first day, Gu Yue complained a lot but still did it knowing that I meant the best for her. During the date, Gu Yue, even though she bought a hell of a lot of stuff, took breaks when I felt I needed to. Was she paying attention?'

Drip.

Hearing a tear fall to the ground beneath him, he looked at Gu Yue. Seeing her head tilted down, her eyes tearing up, he pushed the table aside, got up from the chair and hugged her.

Kneeling on one knee, his shoulder and shirt receiving Gu Yue's tears, Tang Xingxi patted her back.

Not knowing exactly what to say to her, Tang Xingxi just told her what was in his heart, "I love you and I won't leave you. I'm sorry for lying, but I was just trying to get your attention. My pledges, I will not turn back on, and what I shall say right now, as was my offer of helping the matter with the spirit beasts, is a pledge."

Releasing her from his grasp, Tang Xingxi took three steps backwards. Looking straight into Gu Yue's eyes, he spoke, "I, Tang Xingxi, formerly known as Adrian Gomez, swear, that I shall love you, Gu Yue, wholeheartedly and never leave my side. If she so d.e.s.i.r.es, I shall also drop my thoughts of a harem."

'Wha-what, what did he say? He meant everything. He meant it! He really loves me! Even going to the point of giving up that too?' Gu Yue thought, tearing up even more, this time out of happiness instead of sadness. Lifting her head up and revealing a smile, her eyes were too teary to notice that Tang Xingxi was looking at her with the same expression.

Seeing Gu Yue calm down, Tang Xingxi opened his mouth, ready to spill all his secrets only to feel his lips sealed by a kiss. Tang Xingxi relished the feeling for a bit before gently pushing a blushing Gu Yue away.

Seeing this, Tang Xingxi opened his mouth again only to be sealed by Gu Yue's finger. Leaning in closer to Tang Xingxi, Gu Yue said, "I don't want you to spill your secrets. Tell me them when you're truly ready, as I know you have your reasons for keeping them. I don't care anymore if you're the dragon god or not, all I know is that you, are you."

Pulling away from Tang Xingxi, Gu Yue tilted her head to the side and smiled. Twirling around, she started acting cute and said, "Buuuut, you're going to tell me everything about this place as compensation."

Looking at her dumbfoundedly, Tang Xingxi started chuckling while Gu Yue dropped the act and chuckled too.

Looking straight in her eyes, Tang Xingxi said, "Okay, I'll tell you everything. This talk has already gotten rid of a reason for me to keep my secrets. At least, in front of you."

Nodding her head, Gu Yue listened intently.

Her petite hands rubbing her temples, and her face contorted in confusion, Gu Yue spoke, "H-hold on, you died, got reincarnated here, 'god' gave you five wishes, you somehow the dragon god's bloodline and this is why you're so overpowered?"

"Yes, basically so," Tang Xingxi replied.

"O-okay Tang Xingxi, or should I say, Adrian," replied Gu Yue, still accepting the facts.

"Keep calling me Tang Xingxi, I believe that a new life means a new start, and my new name is a constant reminder of that," Tang Xingxi replied, sipping on a cup of tea.

"A-alright, if you say so. Just, answer me this, why are you going with your harem plan? Aren't I enough?" Gu Yue asked, reluctantly accepting the inconceivable past of her lover.

"Um, of course you're enough, but having more than enough is better right?" Tang Xingxi said, nervously anticipating her reply.

"Aren't you afraid that you're taking more than you can handle?" Gu Yue replied, her brow tilted to one side, taunting him.

"Well, I know my limits," Tang Xingxi replied in a flirtatious tone.

Staring at each other, then laughing for a bit both of them calmed down their nerves. Seductively walking toward Tang Xingxi, Gu Yue brought her face close to Tang Xingxi's. Hearing his erratic breathing, Gu Yue lowered her hand to Tang Xingxi's pants and brought her blushing face close to his ear.

Opening her mouth, Gu Yue whispered, "I know you're not going to go with your 'harem' plan without my approval, so I have two conditions."

"What is it?" Tang Xingxi said, his voice a bit lower.

Her voice dropping a few decibels, Gu Yue spoke," The first condition, is that I get to filter who gets in.

Nodding in approval, Tang Xingxi listened into the second one. However, upon hearing it, Tang Xingxi's jaw dropped.

=======================================

Go to Auxillary Chapter: Chapter 24.5 (R.-.1.8)

=======================================

Looking at each other, Gu Yue still had a big blush on her face. Leaning in for a kiss, Tang Xingxi penetrated her for the last time that day.

Waving his hand, Tang Xingxi collapsed the space around him.

Seeing the familiar sky of nothingness, Tang Xingxi decided to change it up a bit.

"Aura!" Tang Xingxi called out as golden lights converged in front of him.

Forming a feminine figure, a purple-haired, alien-eared woman emerged from the cl.u.s.ter of light.

Bowing slightly, she said, "Yes, master?"

"Could you change the view, I'm starting to get pretty bored of it. How about making it a galaxy," Tang Xingxi ordered.

"Alright," Aura replied.

Waving her hand, the sky slowly started to shift from an empty void to an eye-catching galaxy, brimming with stars.

Watching in awe, Gu Yue looked around. 'So, there's the gate to the spirit ascension platform of his which he hasn't entered yet and there's the library with every technique in the universe,' Gu Yue thought. Her eyes locking onto three chained figures, her eyes opened wide. One of them was a large eyeball, green and pulsing with power, she feared she would lose herself if she looked into it any longer. The other was an indescribable humanoid entity. With no facial features and no genitals, it seemed to be made of stars. Finally, this was the one which caught her eye the most. It was the Dragon God. With its seven-coloured shine, golden scales, and multicoloured wings, Gu Yue's heartstrings pulled at the sight.

Turning around to Tang Xingxi, she was about to say something before getting interrupted and told the answer; "Gu Yue, that's not the real dragon god. That's only the way his bloodline represents himself inside of me. If the chains break right now, I could die, even with the unlimited lifespan of a vampire."

Nodding her head in understanding, Gu Yue then turned to him and said, "Then you'd better unseal him completely first."

Her eyes burning straight into his soul (A/N: What!? But they're both in soul form!), Tang Xingxi sighed before saying, "Alright, promise."

Reverting to her normal appearance, Gu Yue cheerfully smiled before hugging him once more. Feeling the warmth of his girlfriend, Tang Xingxi smiled.

Taking themselves out of Tang Xingxi's spirit sea, they awoke to each other's faces.

Gu Yue still seeing the moonlight penetrating the clear window, she opened her mouth to ask why, before closing it again remembering the time dilation effect.

Looking passionately into each other's eyes, no words needed to be said as they re-indulged in another passionate kiss. Penetrating her for the last time that day, Tang Xingxi savoured the moment.

Separating, a thin line of spit could be seen between the two lover's mouths. Staring into each others beautiful faces, further highlighted by the moonlight, Tang Xingxi offered Gu Yue his hand.

Walking to the window, Tang Xingxi whispered in Gu Yue's ear, "Thank you for tonight, when a more appropriate time shows itself, I'll sing for you."

Smiling at the statement, Gu Yue silently replied, "Silly fool, I should be thanking you."

Knowing it was time to go, Gu Yue sat at the windowsill brought Tang Xingxi's ear close to her face and said, "I'll be waiting," before jumping out, leaving no trace in sight.
