Chapter 330: Relax
Weve made so many stones.
By myself, I make about 480 stones an hour. With Shis, Ais, and Lins assistance, it comes to a little above 1.5 times that. So, above 720 stones an hour.
Its been 10 hours straight of this. Over 7200 normal spirit stones. Of which, I can condense the 7000 into seven superior spirit stones.
I can tell they are at their limit, though. Weve been sitting around in a circle this whole time, unmoving.
Even if the life of a cultivator is mostly doing that, it still wears down on people new to the practice. However, another factor is also present.
The constant exchange of glances between us has intensified the atmosphere in the room.
With nothing else to do, our eyes naturally gravitate to the more pleasant and dynamic things. My and their scents mixing in an enclosed room, also dont help with the situation.
By the end of the 10th hour, our cultivation efficiency has degraded significantly.
Shis is subtly shifting her thighs back and forth, Ais been staring at my chest for 10 minutes, and Lins heavy breathing is the loudest sound in the room.
I keep finding myself looking between their lips, eyes, and other various shifts in the movement they make. Even with all of this, none of us move. A stalemate, with each looking to see who will initiate it first.
okay, I am doing this.
Just as I am about to stand, Lin breaks first.
Her heavy breathing stops right when she shoots to her feet, eyes locked on me. Within seconds, she took hold of both Ais and Shis hands without resistance, bringing them to a stand as well.
I feel myself gulp when all three of their eyes meet mine. I stand up to mirror them and Lin instantly takes the lead again, to my surprise.
Moving past the other two to kiss me.
Okay, time to try something.
Following the suggested actions of the scan, I pressed towards her. Our lips collided in a passionate frenzy, with a flurry of kisses and a tight embrace that left us breathless. Despite the scan running, I lose focus momentarily from the intense and passionate kissing.
I spend more time in there, thoroughly washing down every part of my body and masking some aspects. Once I finish, I find that the others are sitting on the largest bed in the middle of this floor.
It looks like theyve all calmed down a bit too and when Ive come out, they all look over at me with much less perverted smiles.
Shi stands up, moving over to me. Bending over slightly, she wraps her arms around my body. A reminder of her increased size compared to mine. Contrary to last time, though, its a warm, rather than passionate hug. Her words brush past my ear.
I see why you had us do that. Things were moving fast for all of us. There are a few things well need to consider going from here.
She looks back at the others before moving even closer to whisper to me.
But thats something for another time. Weve been talking and I think Ai just wants us to be together for tonight. Nothing going too far.
Thats what I thought.
Lin and Shi are ready, as is Ai. But there are other things that come into play that Ai is still dealing with. Another reason I had us change the situation a bit.
I really do not want any of us to have regrets after this.
It seemed that way to me too, so I just wanted to make sure we were making the right decision, especially after such an intense day.
With a smile towards each other, we both head back over to the bed.
I speak out to clear any awkwardness.
So if you want, we can get some sleep now. Im feeling up for some rest, if you guys are.
Ais face brightens up, and she practically yelps out in the affirmative.
Yeah!
She hops backward, landing on the soft covers, before rolling around on the bed in delight. Lin is looking at her with a soft smile. Shi just climbs in beside her and opens her arms towards me.
so, I guess the question becomes, Big Spoon or Little Spoon?
