31 Preparation

"so we are bringing Melinda with us right" ayoung boy that was leaning against the window in attempt to look cool asked.

"yeah we are MF, also why are you standing against the window" a girl was giggling while sitting on a bed.

"ah... nothing it's just coincidence" the man who is Michael Febrianto Li embarrassingly said while moving from the window as he knew his attempt to look cool was seen trough by Aria.

" but... we need to disguise her with both of our illusion power and some make up in case some expert see through it" Aria warned as they already sent back the spies sent by Ailuros clan to report that both of Melinda and her brother is dead.

"why? in the first place why would some expert suddenly shows up there but yes you do have some point" Michael asked curiously.

"ah... i forgot to tell you why we are going to the Mount Everesthuh. We are going there to cultivate since both of you and me never entered the gravity stairs we could enter it" Aria slapped her forehead as she explained.

"wait what, aren't we are going there for our honeymoon" Michael perplexedly asked.

"well you see inside the Mount Everest there is an unknown space that increase the gravity increasingly as the higher you go and it affect qi to so with it you can train your body and the qi in your body will solidify easily along with the compressed qi on the stairs but weirdly there is someone who investigated it but the stairs itself seem to exceed the mountain itself and every cultivator can only enter it oncein their lifetimes also the highest step you can each depend on your body and you can exit that place by 'shouting' out with your spiritual power that yougave up also sometimes some cultivator there found some level up pill as you named it" Aria waved her finger while explaining it

"so if it were me i think i can endlessly reach higher as long i am not instantly crushedright" Michael asked.

"that's depending on food too, there was once someone with talent to preserve the energy he need to survive into condensed fat, when he entered he was very fat with gas stage cultivation and one year later he came out as a solid state expert but he was so thin that his ribs was showing so considering your experiment you should be able to stay there endlessly and advance faster than that guy" Aria said.

"why?" Michael asked full of doubt.

"because that guy only have the body of normal adult man and couldn't heal as fast as you and as endless as you also every stair increase about 0.1 earth gravity okay" Aria shows a proud smile.

"but my body wouldn't be able to adapt to the gravity change since my power is reversing my own time you know" Michael stated the fact.

"yeah but at least that one year would became one month if it was you" Aria hugged Michael. " i am going to miss you"

"don't worry i will come out in two weeks since i have a promise to fulfill" Michael pushed Aria and smiled.

"Huh, really now you would throw that chance away because of a date" Aria asked with a weird face.

"yep" the smile on his face became brighter.

Michael and Aria along with Melinda went preparing for their trip, although only Aria and Melinda was prepared to stay on the city as vacation while waiting for Michael to come out from the mountain as Aria was certain that she would stay for a week at most with the food problem and since Melinda never got in before too she will be inside for a week to so both Aria and Melinda will explore the city on Nepal.

As Michael had only a little to pack he finished it early, as he was hanging around bored he remember that his family members and friends didn't know yet that he won't be around for a while.

So Michael called them one by one and convincing his family member was especially hard but when he said he was going with his girlfriend they fell into a silence and agreed.

'how weird...' Michael thought the responses were a little weird.

Now when he was on the last number on his phone, Michael froze because there is an unfamiliar number there with a name "Lydia Marcia, your future wife."

Just how did she put her number in there but then Michael remembered that while he was playing with the kids there, one of the kid asked me to lend him my phone as he didn't have anything important in his phone he gave it to that kid and when he was about to went home the kid shows up out of the nowhere and gave Michael his phone back, as there was no virus or wiretap or anything similar in nature Michael let the suspicious kid go.

'So this was her manipulation huh' Michael laughed wryly before calling the number.

Beep..-

Not even a few second passed the phone was already picked up. "Hello, this is oni-chan right, Michael oni-chan"

Hearing the familiar voice and that make him imagine the popular hentai Japanese meme, he laughed dryly.

"yes it is, Lydia how did you out your number on my phone" Michael asked although he already guessed the answer.

"but you already guessed it didn't you oni-chan i asked my classmate for it" Lydia's playful voice was heard from the phone.

"anyway i was calling you to tell you i won't be around for two weeks" Michael plainly said.

"what! where are you going oni-chan" Lydia hysterically asked.

"why do you want to know, so that you can follow me" Michael asked.

"you guessed it right, teehehe..." Lydia said with a cute voice.

Michael who heard this immediately imagined Lydia doing teehehe pose with her fist lightly knocking over to her head, let me remind you Michael is not a lolicon.

"but you have school" Michael dully spoke.

"i actually don't need school at all"

"what about you parents" Michael asked increasing frustration.

"if it's about you they will say okay"

Michael then have a terrifying thought, that their parents approve Lydia wanting to have a relationship with him, nonono... she must have deceived them.

"anyway, i say no even if you came along on that place you can't came along" Michael ended the call and begin to sleep out of nowhere.
