The seventh day, morning.

Drake opened his eyes from cultivating and looked at Kara who sat opposite to him with a heated gaze.

Feeling something strange, Kara also opened her eyes and looked at his pa.s.sionate eyes.

Instead of sleeping most of the time, cultivators would rather spend that time on cultivating unless they felt extremely tired.

She couldn't help but think back to last night, where they kept kissing each other for a full ten minutes.

She blushed once she thought of that and remembered that he had a painful expression when she said that it was enough for today.

Once she thought of it like this, her expression turned sad, 'I already am his woman, and I love him too. I shouldn't really hold him back anymore...'

It was just, she wanted her first time to be at a better place but seeing his painful expression getting more apparent by the day, she realized that she was doing more harm than good.

Then again, remembering that there were five hindrances in his residence somehow brought a lot of discomfort, as well as uneasiness to her.

In any case, she had almost no interaction with them, and she knew that this was bound to cause some misunderstandings in the future.

As for their once servant status, she stopped looking down on them since she was also once reduced to, mere slave.

"Let's go?" A shout that posed like a question came from outside.

Kara became startled but replied, "We're coming!"

Drake also moved his gaze away and retrieved the tent after both of them exited.

Once he was done with that, he took the formation away and put it in his spatial ring as well.

"Guys, I want to tell you something..." Davis moved closer to them.

"What's up, bro?" Drake asked curiously while his tone became slightly amicable.

The two of them became comrades more or less in this one week after much interaction. So their relations.h.i.+p could be said to be quite amicable and friendly.

"I'll be leaving before dusk, so I wanted to inform beforehand," Davis replied with a smile.

"What? You're leaving?" Drake's expression turned sour.

"Dude, why so soon? It isn't like there's something which requires your presence immediately, right?"

Drake tried to convince Davis from leaving.

With Davis here, he realized that there was an additional layer of security and the speed of their hunt was far higher than their previous rate when only the two of them were present.

Besides, he was now almost sure that the other party meant no harm. He also didn't want to lose a friend who was sincere and honest. At least, on the surface, everything was proceeding favorably.

"Well, there is something which requires my presence..." Davis replied but didn't explain.

Well, he wasn't lying since his marriage with Evelynn requires his presence.

In truth, he knew that his marriage event with Evelynn had already pa.s.sed a year ago. He was already too late!

"... Alright." Drake only sighed a little.

After all, he couldn't stop him from leaving for no rhyme and reason, could he...?

Kara didn't comment.

Instead, she sent a soul transmission to Drake, telling him that it's time for them to leave as well. She wanted to end this trip and return to his home for an explicit reason.

With all that nightly affairs, it would be a lie if she said that she wasn't interested in doing 'that'.

Drake was stunned inwardly. He just looked at her and just nodded with a smile.

He planned to stay for a year or so to hunt magical beasts and gain wealth, but with this...

'Maybe, I would have a chance at home?' Once a thought like this emerged in his head, he instantly changed his mind.

Well, he was considerably pent up as well.

Drake turned his head to Davis and asked, "Erm... Davis, it is not quite right and safe to travel after sunset, so why don't we just leave right now?"

Davis narrowed his eyes as he thought, 'What a ridiculous excuse...'

Not safe to travel? Pftt!

How could he not tell that they were quite pent up with all the excitement that they were oozing out from their pores?

It was quite obvious to his senses, even without having to actively check upon them.

Besides, these two were bound to be in bed for a lot of time since they have a body const.i.tution like 'that'.

But he didn't dwell on their personal reasons because he was also more or less, returning for the same personal reason!

"I still have something to do, you guys go on ahead!"

Drake was startled, but then he remembered about how Davis sneaked away every night and sneaked in every morning.

'Now that I think about it, how was he able to get inside the formation without me noticing just now?' Drake turned confused but he didn't dwell on it too much.

Everyone has their secrets!

He just replied, "Okay, then take care..."

Saying so, he took out a message talisman and gave it to Davis, "Message me if you require my a.s.sistance..."

Davis nodded and took it, "Sure will do..."

He bound the message talisman and kept it in his spatial ring.

After that, Drake explained about his whereabouts in the Xuan Capital with a few sentences.

"Next time then!" Davis uttered and directly left.

A few seconds later, the two of them looked at his leaving silhouette and turned to face each other, "He left..."

Drake spoke as he stretched his hands, "What do you think about him?"

Kara blinked but then replied, "If he is the same as you, then he has beaten you in the soul talent trait..."

"Yes..." Drake gravely nodded his head, "I don't think I can ever catch up to him in Soul Forging Cultivation.

Kara agreed, "Me neither..."

"The only action we can take to catch up to him is..." Drake spoke but Kara interrupted, "Improve the grade of our const.i.tutions."

Drake widened his eyes as he understood what Kara meant.

He took a deep breath and spoke, "Shall we leave then?"

"Mhm..." Kara hummed, her voice tinged with a little bit of happiness and shyness.
