Chapter 98 Heavenly Space Expansion

The sun was already close to raising above the horizon when Nami returned from her additional training. She didn't announce her presence but Number One was still awake even though Luna was already asleep in his embrace.

'You didn't have to wait for me,' Nami informed sweetly as she sneaked to bed to give him a welcome kiss. 'Did you enjoy yourself? I will join you after the shower. I'm all sweaty.'

'We did have a nice time and I followed your suggestion,' Number One replied as they both gazed at the sleeping beauty in his arms. Luna was sleeping comfortably while using his body as a pillow and showed a satisfied smile as if she dreamed well.

'Yeah, I can see it,' Nami pointed out while glancing down Number One's waist but she resisted her temptations. 'I hope she had fun too because that won't happen again. I wanted to return earlier but I thought I would let her have the first time all to herself. I couldn't have a similar experience so at least she could have it.'

'You are too good, you know that?' Number One commented as he caressed Nami's face. He also regretted that their first time happened after being affected by his own devious pill.

'She has still helped me a lot so that's the least I can do,' Nami replied casually and got up to take a shower. 'I will be right bac--'

Number One caught Nami's arm at the last second and pulled her back. She was surprised at first but then noticed a Green Storage Ring in his fingers. 'Hmm? Why are you giving it to me?'

'I got it today and I want you to have it,' Number One explained as he slid the ring on Nami's finger. 'It has twenty Body Revitalizing Pills and the same amount of Soul Boosting Pills. You can use them as you please when I'm not around.'

Nami raised her eyebrows after checking the contents of the Storage Ring and accepted it with a joyful smile. 'I will definitely use them, thank you.'

The size of the gift didn't matter at all as the thought alone was enough to warm her heart. Nami didn't hesitate to lay down for some more as they linked their lips. "I love you."

"I love you too," Number One replied out loud as well. "If you stay by my side, maybe it will be gold by the end."

"I will be the one to make yours' gold," Nami replied softly just as Luna moved next to them. Their noise seemed to be waking her up so they turned silent again.

'You should give one to Luna as well,' Nami suggested after looking at Luna's hands. 'It would be nice if we all had the same to show our connection,'

'I have one more for her, don't worry,' Number One assured and she finally left after nodding in satisfaction. It was quite amazing that the two were getting along so well which was his main worry in the past.

It was hard to balance the attention and one partner could feel jealous of the other. Number One would definitely hate all the drama so he would rather have none of it instead of dealing with all the arguments.

Number One pulled out the second Green Storage Ring he got and slid it on Luna's finger without her noticing. He already planned to give her one so it made for a nice surprise after she woke up in the morning. He also added a bit of his special shampoo in their rings as the delicious smell of Luna's hair just made his experiment worth it.

Nami was thankfully too tired for any additional exercises in bed and collapsed onto his body as soon as she returned from the bathroom. They were both cuddled on each of Number One's sides and he hugged them as they all rested for their big day.

Or at least Number One's body had a moment of a break as his mind was always active.

"I really need more space here..." Number One commented as he appeared in the jungle of Soul Herbs. Even after finding time earlier to reorganize the whole heavenly space, he still had lots of Soul Herbs that just didn't fit.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

The only option was either making more pills to lessen his stock of Soul Herbs or finding a way to increase the limited surface of the cloud-like ground. Number One already tried to produce more of it but nothing seemed to work.

"Could it be that it's preventing me from trying to trick the system and building my way around the golden door?" Number One wondered as he gazed at the second door that blocked his progress. He already tried to fly over and around it but each time his consciousness was kicked out as soon as he crossed the edge.

Number One crouched to play with the clouds that supported his weight and it passed through his fingers like a real cloud. Building to the sides didn't work and building up would take him too much time and resources. Even then, the space available to him was probably capped to the height of the golden door.

"What about backward?" Number One wondered as he looked behind him and walked towards the first area. It was obviously much bigger than the second one but only then did he realize that it extended a little further away from the door.

"Did he actually try to enlarge this place already?" Number One pointed out and quickly measured both areas using his feet. The difference was almost twenty feet and it was quite irregular.

This heavenly space surely wasn't made by his ex-master so this gave Number One some hope. He swiftly gathered all the Soul Crystals he acquired from the twin Alchemists and began pouring Soul Energy into the cloudy ground. He already tried it before but the problem could be the volume which was just too small.

The equivalent of twenty Green Crystals was powdered as Number One released and he finally noticed some movement. The white clouds began shifting and twisting before expanding half a foot away from the door.

"No way it worked..." Number One muttered with a grin and crushed the rest of Soul Crystals as if it was nothing. The cloud kept expanding and by the end, he had an additional three square feet of space for him to step on.

Number One couldn't contain his excitement and swiftly left the space to inform the girls of the discovery but then he remembered they were asleep. They slept so peacefully so he kissed their foreheads lightly and returned to continue the Legendary Alchemist grind.

"I hope you all saved the money for the past ten years because Number One will milk you dry..." Number One said with a chuckle and fired his Alchemy Flame while staring at his Heaven Rank Soul Herbs. If he couldn't stay low-key, it was finally time to unleash his ambitions and shock the world.
