"Huff" Seth let out a deep breath as he opened his eyes, happily standing up as he knew this would be the last time he would open his eyes to find himself sitting in a cross-legged position in some time.
With his soul space in order, Seth had left it hours ago and used then used that time to go about cultivating and digesting the various gains that his recent breakthroughs, especially the repair and strengthening of his soul had brought.
"That it was worth it" was the one thought going through Seth's mind as he stood up.
Everything he had been through, getting into entering Ashad and then Egaroth, especially the several battles he had fought since he entered this world.
At that time they had seemed something like a waste and him just being stupid or troublesome, and while that was true in some cases, it didn't change the fact that those battles had contributed a lot to many cultivation levels he had quickly broken through.
While others cultivated day and night needing teachings and enlightenment to remotely make progress in their cultivation not to talk of breakthroughs, what Seth needed was life-risking battles, and then after stuffing down qi into his dantian like a meal he automatically broke through.
Now that he was done with all his intense and boring cultivation, he decided it was time to meet the sisters, especially Aimy, he had kept her waiting long enough.
With the casual release of his soulsense, Seth spotted Irene, and then the next moment his figure blurred into black and he was gone.
….
Irene was slightly bent and scribbling on a piece of paper placed on the wall when she suddenly felt a presence behind her, and before she could get up, she felt a hand smack her ass and grab onto it.
"What are you doing," Seth asked, enjoying the soft feel of Irene's left bun.
Irene first turned and looked at Seth with a glare which he ignored and then she answered his question.
"I'm drawing a map just in case I or someone else comes back here," Irene answered but when she saw Seth keep looking at her dumbly she went on to elaborate.
"The crystal and the soul energy take time to form, so with how much we've consumed with our visit, I want to map out the areas that should be left untouched so the crystals there can have time to develop."
"Oh," Seth simply replied, not really one for logistics.
"So are you done," he asked.
"No, I need a few more minutes"
"Fine, I'll see you later then," Seth said turning to leave but Irene pulled him back.
"Wait for me, I want to be there."
"Urgghh Fine, but be quick, we don't want Aimy masturbating herself till she falls unconscious," Seth said, his words making Irene blush in embarrassment at her sister's lewd cravings.
"Damn you chivar women are really naughty though" Seth mumbled, but Iren didn't let this go.
"It's your fault for telling her all those dirty words, now she hasn't left there since the last time she talked to you" Irene grumbled.
"Now let me work," Irene said slapping away both of Seth's hands which had begun assaulting her buns without hesitation.
"urghh" Seth groaned falling backward and floating just before his back hit the floor.
While others treasured their qi, wanting to save it so as to be ready for any emergency, Seth he used his to soften his life, using it to float himself up and waste his time staring into the darkness that hid away the ceiling.
"Done" Irene muttered to Seth's hearing a few minutes later, and just as he landed back on his feet, wanting to begin marching off towards Aimy, Irene held him back.
"Seth let's talk."
"Hmm, the last time we had a personal talk initiated by you, I was given an incomplete map," Seth said not going soft on Irene.
With Aimy's pussy awaiting his meat and with his own well fabricated lie he had fed Irene a few days ago, Seth had wanted to push this issue to the side, but since Irene brought it back up, then they might as well fully face it.
"Yes I want us to talk about that and more, Iren said looking at Seth with a remorseful gaze, her eyes all sad.
"More" Seth with interest and foreboding.
"Yes. Remember back in the cave, just before we went and found Aimy, remember when I told you about my throwing in my lot with you and not Minuha" Irene inquired.
"yes, thank you for reminding me," Seth said, as he himself had been confused by those words but now he was wondering where this was going.
"Well the truth is that Minuha had already met me and offered me a deal to betray you, and I accepted it…."
Hearing Irene's words, Seth's mind was thrown into chaos, one which had him freeze and stare at Irene dumbly"
"Seth" Irene softly whispers as she tightened her entwined hands and silently waited for Seth's reaction with shaky eyes.
A few seconds had to go by before Seth's eyes finally moved and he looked to Irene,
"So you agreed to betray me, how, when did this happen?"
It wasn't that Seth was surprised or shocked by Irene's words, on the contrary, he already knew all of this, and had already been quite expectant of her betrayal, but that she came forward and outright confessed this to him destroyed and derailed the plans and confidence Seth had been building up so far.
Back then he had been so sure of himself, he felt like a king from above that was merely watching the fox called Iren trying to play him but now that fox had repented.
It took Seth some time to regain to himself, and then he decided to ask her how it had happened, deciding to still keep the fact that he knew her ploys a secret, wanting to hear her explanations.
