Chapter 656 - Firia Meets The Other Girls

"She is truly missing you, Husband."

Alex was stunned with her sad smile, yet a thought arose in his mind. "That\'s right. Why did you come here alone?"

"I asked her before coming here, and she said she is in the middle of cultivation. She asked me to come here alone to help you because she would require a few years to cultivate. By that time, you might already break free from this world and achieve God Stage. That\'s why she decided to wait for you there." Firia answered with the alibi she had prepared earlier. Although it pained her to lie like this, she had agreed with this arrangement a few days ago.

"Is that so?" Alex let out a long sigh, not having a single shred of doubt in Firia\'s words. "She is fine, right?"

Firia understood Alex\'s worry in this question. After all, Alicia had gotten that poison one time, and Alex was afraid she faced that kind of thing again. Hence, she put the gentlest smile she could and answered. "As I said, I talked to her before coming here. She was very energetic and cheerful at that time."

Alex felt relieved, knowing she was alright. "I see. I am confident to reach God Stage within a decade, so I will just meet her by that time."

"Haha… If we are going with your process, five years are the maximum." Firia chuckled. "I won\'t lose to you this time though. I will surely become a God Stage Expert before you."

"So, you are going to challenge me..." Alex narrowed his eyes.

"Of course. You are feeling confident to pass me with this difference, Husband?" She released her Spiritual Energy to make Alex remember that she was an 8-Star Martial Monarch.

"No. I quit. I won\'t go for the challenge because I only want you to grow without destroying your foundation only for this stupid challenge."?Alex shook his head.

"I\'m not that foolish. Besides, I know about cultivation as well from my Master. That\'s why don\'t underestimate me." Firia harrumphed. "Anyway, you are not going to join them?"

She pointed her finger at the scene behind her.

Alex shook his head and smiled. "Anna and the others are strong enough to deal with them. We are in this cage made of your Sacrificial Element. I\'m sure it will be strong enough to trap them."

"You trust my ability this much? I was never useful for you in the past, you know." Firia grinned.

"Don\'t say that. Although your fighting with Alicia was a little bit annoying, it colored my day at the very least. I was always alone before, passing my day without anyone. That was why I still felt it was nice." Alex smiled, complimenting her genuinely.

"That is not a compliment, Husband." Firia narrowed her eyes before clapping her hands and changing her mood. "There should be another ten minutes before Anna, and the others finish. Do you want to ask something?"

"I have two questions. I am wondering why you didn\'t tell me that you can visit me again?" Alex asked while glancing upon her eyes.

"I almost forgot… Uncle Maxwell actually told me that he would inform you himself, but it seemed he had forgotten about it."

*Thud—!* Kai didn\'t know why but the past memory resurfaced in his mind where he actually forgot to mention Spatial Gate and Space Plate. "He is a forgetful person… Sigh."

"Haha… It\'s fine since you can focus on your cultivation rather than waiting for us." Firia shrugged.

"True enough." Alex nodded in agreement. "Then, the second question, why at this time?"

"To finish my training with my Master first. Even alone in this world, I should be able to sustain myself. Master taught me about Alchemist as well up to God Stage Pill or a pill above rank 8, the Divine Pill. Of course, I can only make rank 8 pill right now due to my cultivation… barely." She paused for a moment before taking out a certain blazing fruit and passing it to Alex. "This is another reason I come here."

"This…" Alex\'s body shook upon the sight of this fruit. "This is Star Fruit. How can you have this?"

"You are cultivating Undying Fire Body and need this fruit for your fourth refinement. All the materials you need are very hard to get, so once she has gotten this, she asks me to bring it to you." Firia smiled. She, in her mouth, was Lin Xingzhi. Unfortunately, she forbade her from saying the fruit was coming from her because of several reasons.

Due to Firia talking about her Master this whole time, Alex misunderstood her and thought it was coming from her Master. "Thank you for bringing it to me; I truly need it. If I have the opportunity, I will thank her in the future."

Firia hid her lie beneath her smile even though she was also crying at the same time. She thought, \'How many lies I need to tell on the first day of meeting my husband…\'

Alex tossed the Star Fruit inside his Inventory and remembered something. "Do you know about the System?"

"Of course, I know. I want to ask you to invite me as a Spirit Nest member."

Alex nodded and opened his system, sending an invite to her. Firia chose Yes without hesitation and officially became one of the Spirit Nest members.

"That\'s right, Husband. I have seen your progress from there and know that you have trouble with money. Master didn\'t let me bring any items other than my clothes and weapon, so I will need to rely on you to procure medicinal ingredients while I make rank 7 or rank 8 pills for you. In other words, I will supply the money for our Spirit Nest." She grinned.

Alex nodded before noticing something wrong. "Wait, you have a weapon?"

"I have now. You already know that there are many different types of cultivations out there, right?"

"Yes." The answer was obvious. He learned many things from his knowledge, such as someone that cultivates with special veins and such. Their power was the same as him in the same stage, and both had their own advantages and disadvantages, so there was no point in debating over it. He only knew that there were many different types and learned that he might fight against those types when he reached God Stage.

"This is my weapon! It\'s also my Spiritual Weapon with Fire Attribute. It can boost my Fire Attribute to attack people… But Master has sealed a portion of its power since this is a Divine Item, so I don\'t feel reliant on it." Firia nodded.

"That\'s good then." Alex had no problem in her Master sealing its power. If he didn\'t reach Absolute Blade Saint before all this matter, he might necessarily use his Spiritual Weapons as to stimulate his potential.

At this time, Anna and Sherry suddenly appeared behind the barrier. "Alex, we are done and spare the weakest guy we can get."

Alex scratched his head for a moment and said apologetically. "I\'m sorry. I need to deal with the current situation first."

"It\'s fine. I will wait here." Firia smiled gently.

He waved his hand to open the barrier and nodded to Anna and Sherry before flying toward the others.

Meanwhile, Firia came to Anna with a cheerful smile. Suddenly, she bowed her head elegantly. "Elder Sister Anna, I\'m Firia. This might not be the first time we meet, but let me say it. Thank you for accompanying Alex this whole time, and I hope that we can take care of him together this time."

"Ye-yes." Anna\'s body shook, and bowed her head unconsciously. However, her mood was somewhat gloomy, and Firia understood the reason.

"I knew your worry, and I did feel it was wrong. Even Sister Xingzhi was worried about it. However, we always made a mistake, whether consciously or unconsciously. Even Alex made many mistakes. At that time, did you forgive him?"

Anna opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say yes but had no courage.

"I believe he has already forgiven you and brushed it off from his mind. That\'s why you can\'t be like this anymore because I know it will only sadden him and you. Please act normally again. This is the request from your little sister." Firia smiled.

Anna closed her eyes and sighed. "I will try. There is no need to call me, Sister. We only have one big sister, Sister Xingzhi. She is the only one that can be called Sister. Other than that, we should call each other with our names."

"Sure. Looking forward to our cooperation Anna." Firia stretched her hands.

"Yes. I\'m looking forward to it as well…" Anna thought she wanted a handshake, but she gave her a big hug instead. Suddenly, Anna noticed something wrong with her words, specifically about that cooperation word. "Cooperation? Don\'t tell me…"

"Sister Xingzhi made us learn everything from that book. So I will really need your cooperation." She grinned.

"You… You have been corrupted as well! Do you know that Sister Xingzhi actually gathered all kinds of techniques in the world for a few thousand years, so she can please Alex on the bed when he has reincarnated? She even made us learn that well…"

"Haha… I don\'t feel anything wrong for a wife to please her husband." Firia smirked.

Suddenly, Anya appeared with a sly glint. "I heard a very interesting topic just now."

Anna was startled for a second and released Firia. Meanwhile, Firia came closer to Anya and bowed to her before straightening her back and smiling from ear to ear. "I heard about your achievement, Anya. Sister Xingzhi said you claimed the second rank for the mastery of this book. I hope you can guide me sometime…"

Anya grabbed Firia\'s hands and raised them as she looked at her with a star in her eyes. "I see, I found a friend on this journey. I have executed a few techniques, and Alex seemed to like it. Unfortunately, Anna always refused to use it despite mastering all the techniques. We can try it soon together since the theory says it will be more effective in doing it with more people."

"I\'m looking forward to that."

"Still, I will let you have tonight with him." Anya smirked while shaking her hands.

"Thank you." Firia grinned.

"I feel like these two shouldn\'t meet…" Anna sweatdropped.

"What do you mean? Alicia also has the interest to do it, albeit a bit embarrassed. You are just wasting Sister Xingzhi\'s efforts." Firia corrected her with a righteous face.

"That is unnecessary effort!" Anna screamed, frustrated. "You do know that she actually traveled to thousands of worlds to acc.u.mulate thousands of techniques and compile that book, right?"

Amazing and yet… a different kind of amazing. But it was useless since Anya and Firia ignored her words.

"Elder Sister Firia…" Sherry\'s voice resounded as she finally joined their conversation, albeit with a guilty face.

Firia smiled and shook her head. She patted Sherry\'s head and said. "You did a good job, Sherry. I can see that you have completed your mission well. Besides, I am also happy to have you as my sister. For the time being, you can\'t call me without honorifics, and there is only one way if you want to call me Firia."

Sherry looked up with a surprised face. She blinked her eyes a few times, realizing that Firia recognized her relationship with Alex. Firia\'s words certainly piqued interest as well as she asked, "What is that way, Elder Sister Firia? I will certainly do it!"

"Good." Firia nodded while taking out a single book and handing it to her. "I bring a copy with me!"

"Wait, that book!" Anna, of course, realized this book, but Anya suddenly appeared in front of her.

"As a strategist from Eulja, I deem this book is mandatory for anyone that wants to enter Sirius Household," Anya said righteously.

"You are just corrupting Sherry!" Anna shouted.

Sherry was startled by the book as her face turned red when she took a glance at the first page. However, a notification appeared for these four.

[I and Alicia agree. The rule shall be effective from today onward.]

*Thud—!* Anna lost the hope in her eyes as she lamented the pure soul that would soon fall…

Meanwhile, Sherry looked up and pumped her fist despite having a blushed face. "I will do it!"
