Re: Lightning Beast

"Is it morning already?" Covering his eyes from sunlight, Ren tried to waking up groggily. But something held his body. Looking down slightly, he can see a peerless beautiful figure sleeping soundly. Looking at her exhausted and satisfied face, make happy and proud feelings surged in his heart. Didn't have the heart to wake her up, he chooses to enjoy this moment heartfully. He hugged her body closer, c.a.r.e.s.sing her hair affectionately, and looking at her face tenderly.

A few minutes later, he can feel some movement from her.

"Already wake up? You can sleep a little longer." He kissed her forehead while asking softly.

"Umm… good morning, Husband." Opening her eyes, she smiles gently. After that she circling her arms on his necks, asking for more. Ren answered passionately, not stopping until they're out of breath.

"Let's stop right now. If not, we will end up not getting out of bed again. We need to visit Father in Law already." Feeling wonderful, Ren tried to forcefully restrain his impulse.

"Whose fault is that? You always said that since a week ago, but not letting me stepping out from the bed at all!" Qingyue glaring at him poutingly.

"Hehh… even though you like it. Who is always begging for more?" Grinning widely he pinned her body under his own while looking at her provocatively.

"S-Stupid husband! D-don't say something weird! It's not like that at all! You're the one who is forceful." Blushing madly, Qingyue throwing a pillow to him. Her body flushed red, and her eyes turned misty.

"Hou? Did you deny it? Should we prove it then?" C.a.r.e.s.sing her body carefully, his eyes shone mischievously.

"W-Wait! Kyaa!! N-Noo!! I'm sorry!!" Shocked, Qingyue shrieking loudly.

"Let's bath together." Lifting her up suddenly, Ren carrying her like a princess. Ignoring her plea, he brings her to the bathroom. After some hours later they emerged out together with Qingyue burying her face in his c.h.e.s.t. She didn't dare to face the maids whose blushing madly looking at them. Even though that profound practitioners usually use profound energy to clean their bodies, but Ren isn't accustomed to it. He prefers to have a proper bath, especially with his wife. Which eventually Qingyue take a liking too.

After changing clothes and having breakfast, they set off from his mansion to Xia Clan's manor. Qingyue always wearing a veil except in front of her husband, father, and little brother.

They have been married for a week already when Qingyue turned 16. Which Ren and Xia Hongyi tried to make it as grand as possible. Eventually making the entire city lively, celebrating their wedding party.

2 years ago, after Ren visiting Xiao Lie, he quickly proposed to her and persuaded her father. He even met Qingyue's master, who opposed their engagement. Arguing with Chu Yueli fiercely, no one wanted to back down either. Fortunately, before it can be escalated to a fight, Xia Hongyi and Xia Qingyue put an end to it. Which Chu Yueli can only accept it dejectedly. But on a condition that after their wedding, Qingyue must go to the Frozen Cloud Asgard's Palace a month later.

After arriving at the Xia Clan's manor, they entered while holding hands together.

"Big Sis!! Brother in Law!!" Yuanba quickly noticed their presence. He suddenly giving Ren a hug. Standing at 2 meters tall, with bulky figure completely rippled in muscle, he is completely surpassed Ren figure which only at 1,8 meters tall. But in contrast to his menacing figure, his face is so youthful, pure and innocent. Giving him a unique charm, kind and amiable.

"Hahaha… Little Yuanba, how are you? It has been only a week, but your body looked likes becoming bigger again." Even Ren was impressed. Even though he believed that his own body already sculpted to perfection, but seeing Yuanba right now still giving him a sense of awe.

"Hehehe… It's great right? Even I was impressed, look at ho- Aww!! Sister it hurts." Shrieking in pain, Yuanba can only look at his sister tearfully, who pinched him ruthlessly.

"Don't boast. You should have on a diet already." Qingyue glaring at him menacingly.

"Big Sis! No!! I don't want to starve to death." Looking at his pitiful figure, Ren can only hold back his laughter.

"It's still early in the morning, why you all so lively?" Suddenly, a calm and gentle voice can be heard from behind. Xia Hongyi appeared while looking affectionately at them.

"Father, Qingyue apologize for coming home late."

"Greetings Father in Law."

Ren and Qingyue greeted him respectfully. After Xia Hongyi arrived in front of them, he hugged them gently.

"You brat! You should have comes the day after the wedding. It's been a week already. Where did you run off to?" Xia Hongyi hitting Ren's head.

"A-hahaha… I'm sorry Father in Law. I lost track of my time-Aww!!" Ren replied awkwardly while looking at Qingyue who is blushing madly.

"What a shitty excuse you have. Your mansion isn't that far from here, I can even see it clearly." Xia Hongyi staring at him intensely.

"H-hahaha…" Ren can feel his back was drenched in sweat.

"It's good to be young. But please have a little restraint." After that, he looked at his daughter. He kissed her forehead lightly.

"My little dear, I hope you can have all the happiness in the world." He said to her affectionately.

"Thank you, Father. Qingyue won't be able to be like now if not because of father." Feeling warm in her heart, Qingyue embraced him. After that, he released her shortly.

"Yuanba, come with me. Let's have a talk between man." Ren was grinning mischievously.

"Hehehe… Okay, brother in law." Yuanba followed eagerly.

That day, Ren was telling Yuanba many things, and Yuanba listened attentively. Giving him some pointers and bits of advice, they're talking for a long time. From the start, Yuanba eyes were shining brightly and he looked at his bother in law in awe. After that Ren gave him a gift, and Yuanba can only accept it tearfully.

After dining together, Xia Qingyue and Ren choose to go back shortly after. Xia Hongyi and Yuanba send them off.

...

In their own room, Ren and Qingyue can be seen cuddling each other on the bed. Just enjoying their private time.

"Husband, is it really fine?" Qingyue asked quietly.

"Hmm? About what?"

"For me to join Frozen Cloud Asgard."

"No problem at all."

"Why did you accept it?" Qingyue feeling unsure.

"Because I know that you have a goal in mind."

"Then why did you forbid me to cultivate their arts until I become their official disciple?"

"You already know all of their flaws right?"

"Umm… you already told me clearly."

"Because I don't want you to become like them. Become like a beautiful jade statue. Cold, hard and stagnant. I want you to still become human. I still want to feel your warmth. I want for you to feel emotions, to feel happiness, especially with me."

"..." Qingyue listened attentively.

"Remember Qingyue, profound cultivation is just a path, not the destination. Imagine if you sacrifice everything to reach your goal, discarding your emotion to pursue cultivation bitterly. Even if you reach your initial goal, you won't be able to feel anything."

"..."

"Human gifted with a brain and a heart. Reason and emotion are what make us human. Fusing two of them you get imagination, that's what makes us human can progress and gain prosperity. If you lack even one of them, you would end up to become either a mindless beast or a mechanical doll."

"..." Feeling pain in her heart, Qingyue tightened her hold on him.

"Qingyue my dear, I already told you about your unique constitution. So, you don't need to worry about your progress in cultivation at all." Ren c.a.r.e.s.sed her hair gently.

"Ummm… I know, Husband."

"You don't need to learn Frozen Heart Arts, as for Frozen Cloud Arts you can cultivate it freely with the other techniques that I taught you."

In the past 2 years, he not only taught her about haki. Realizing the flaws in her sect's arts, he bought a technique from a system to tried to overcome it. 'Breath of Water' from 'Kimetsu no Yaiba'. Because ice is a derivative power from the water element. And because of the nature of water itself.

After they improve this technique together, they succeded to integrate profound energy with it. She can manipulate or summon water to attack or defend at the cost of her profound energy. Moreover, after successfully mastering this technique, Xia Qingyue can already catch a glimpse law of water. Combined with her Haki and sword art, even he himself needs to face her seriously in a spar.

To celebrate for creating her unique profound arts, he also bought a C+ rank weapon to complement it. A beautiful crystal-like katana named "Blue Wave".

"Yue'er, I have a gift for you." Sitting up properly, Ren looked at his wife.

"What is it?" Sitting across him, she tilts her head confusedly.

"Just close your eyes." Closing his eyes, his hand traced her belly.

Suddenly a unique pattern and pigmentation appeared on his face. Right, he is using 'Sage Mode' right now. After learned about profound energy in this world an absurd idea formed on his mind.

Molding physical energy and mental energy to create chakra, and using profound energy as natural energy. He wants to learn 'Sage Mode' by blending them together. And finally, after years of learning, he can use it.

Channeling his senjutsu chakra, he traced Xia Qingyue's profound veins from the root. Using his method, he knows how her body condition perfectly. After searching for a while, he found all of her profound veins. Controlling his senjutsu chakra carefully, he opened all of her profound entrance effortlessly. After that, he used his senjutsu chakra to strengthen her profound veins continuously.

Shortly after he stopped his action, and his 'Sage Mode' ended. This technique itself is still incomplete because his energy reserve is still an imbalance. His mental energy is the most abundant, because of his Haki. While his Physical and Profound energy is lacking a bit because he didn't have perfect techniques yet.

But no matter what, he already satisfied with what he got right now. He can still improve it later.

"Husband, this is…?" After opening her eyes, Qingyue was shocked. Feeling the changes in her body, she was struck speechless.

"A gift from your beloved husband, so your cultivation path would be smoother later." He winked at her.

"Thank you." She can't say anything else at all. Her heart can't contain her happiness. So instead of using words, she chooses to use her action directly. Hugging him tightly, she steals a kiss from him. Feeling delighted, Ren answered it passionately. In the end, they didn't sleep until morning.
