Chapter 78: Welfare
Aizen swam to the shore with Ana in his arms to catch up with Axel who was a little ahead of him, and right behind them were six girls who were also swimming to shore following them.
The effect of this lake which prevented them from flying through the air was extremely irritating and troublesome.
"We're on the shore of the lake. Isn't it time for you to untie your arm around my neck?" Aizen speaks to Ana using his mouth this time and no longer uses his mind once he reaches the shore.
"Um, all right." Ana reluctantly releases the shackles of her arms around Aizen's neck before standing next to Axel.
Apart from Aizen's half-face mask that is still on his face, Ana and Axel's veils were removed when they fell into the lake and now they don't want to put it on again with new ones remembering apart from Aizen, only the girls are here.
But what happened next was even more unexpected, the robes and dresses they were wearing slowly seemed to be burned by something.
"Hmm?"
Aizen realizes something is amiss when he sees the high-quality silk gowns worn by Ana and Axel slowly burn out, leaving only the nano-protective suits that wrap tightly around their bodies as absolute protection suggested by Axel before they descend on Zavier.
"Eh?" "Eh?"
Ana and Axel also look at each other in confusion as they see Aizen's robe slowly burning down, leaving only a nano-protective suit wrapped around his body. A fate was similar to the two of them.
"This lake water is a strange liquid, it's just like ordinary water but the material contained there can scorch the fabric when it meets the air for a while. Hmm... Interesting."
Aizen crouched down to further investigate the water of the lake while muttering clearly without embarrassment as he was still wearing tight clothes like a trainer in health class.
The six girls who followed from behind finally reached the shore of the lake after swimming quite a distance. Unfortunately, their fate was no different from Aizen's group who were already on the shore of the lake.
As soon as the six of them stood up and walked ashore, their dresses quickly burned without a trace even they did not have time to realize that their dresses were gone.
"Um, yes. Amazing. Beautiful face with a healthy body." Aizen immediately stood up and watched while giving a judge-like judgment in a beauty pageant.
"Eh? What does that mean? Kya!"
"Ahh!"
"Kya!"
"Don't look at us!"
Shouts and screams of embarrassment from the girls who accidentally showed their bodies to Aizen immediately echoed out in the cavern they were currently in. They immediately threw themselves into the lake again so that Aizen would not see their current naked bodies.
"Brother Aizen, don't look!" Ana covers Aizen's eyes from behind with both hands to prevent any indecent incident.
"Sister Ana is right, Master Aizen! Please give them the dignity to wear their clothes again." Axel closes Aizen's eyes from the front as a second layer on Ana's hand.
"Right, right! You already own us and you can see Sister Axel as much as you want." Ana giggled as she asked to be carried on Aizen's back but still closed his eyes with her hand.
"Okay, I'll give them room for that. Girls, you better get out of the lake because the liquid there is quite suspicious. Don't worry, now I've turned around and can't see anything." Aizen turned around to turn his back on the lake while calling out to the six girls who were still diving in shame.
The efforts that Ana and Axel put in to close Aizen's eyes are in vain and they are aware of it because their system is always active. What they are doing right now is a mere courtesy to them.
However, the two of them unconsciously pronounced each other's names out of habit, and the six girls who were still in the lake finally learned the names of the two girls who were with Aizen.
Hearing Aizen's words, the six girls who were diving in their shame immediately came out of the lake as they upheld the warning with their flushed faces.
Then, they immediately put on their spare dresses from their space ring after slightly drying their bodies with their spirit energy.
Ana and Axel removed their hands from Aizen's eyes after the six girls were properly dressed. Then the two of them immediately wrapped their bodies in their spare dresses that were similar to the previous ones.
Unfortunately, Aizen does not realize that now he is the only one dressed strangely in the nano-protective suit tightly wrapped around his body.
Aizen saw that the six cultivator girls were already dressed properly but without their veils and their bodies slightly damp.
They all blushed brightly on their shy faces while looking at Aizen for a moment and then looking down again as they saw the vulgar figure of Aizen's body as if he was showing it off to them with confidence.
"It's good that you are well dressed." Aizen nods unknowingly that he makes them blush even more. He just thought the six of them were just embarrassed by the previous incident.
"I can't get married..."
"My body has been seen by a man..."
"My mother who is already in heaven, please forgive your sinful daughter."
"My body is already stained..."
The girls muttered softly as if they were lamenting their fate. Even Lin Yu who usually had the most composure became dazed while muttering something about her body and being unable to marry.
"Master Aizen, please wear your clothes." Axel spoke with a mischievous smile.
Aizen immediately became aware of this and quickly wrapped himself in a robe similar to the one he was wearing before.
Axel had prepared lots of one-of-a-kind robes and dresses for them just because the three of them would be exploring Zavier, and the clothes would serve as an identity for them to others.
While Aizen is just enjoying his welfare deep underground, on the surface is a young man in shabby clothes who has just entered the ancient ruins with a different entrance gate from the one Aizen's group entered.
"Are you sure we are on the right path?" Feng Wuhan muttered to the ring he was wearing on his finger.
"Of course young man! I can feel my kin is here. You want unmatched strength, don't you? Then listen to me without hesitation hahaha!" The voice of the old man from the ring laughed hysterically.
"Very well, old man. I will believe in you because I was able to dash from 1st Refining Spirit Realm to 2nd Profound Spirit Realm in no time because of you."
Feng Wuhan nodded and smiled wickedly at his ambition in the future which was too big for his small body.
Ever since discovering this ancient ring in ancient ruins in the hidden realm that he had previously explored, he had become a person gifted by heaven and his cultivation level immediately skyrocketed in such a short time.
Even though this old man was suspicious and nothing good would come from him, Feng Wuhan could at least trust the old man who lived in the ring for several reasons.
Feng Wuhan came to this hidden realm because the gate to the hidden realm that he entered a few weeks ago had disappeared without a trace when he was about to enter there again, even the old man in this ring didn't know anything at all.
Feng Wuhan really did not know that a great calamity would come to the world of cultivation on the planet Zavier just because of him, and that was all just the beginning that would befall Zavier from the great secret that enveloped the realm full of treasures and inheritance which they called the hidden realm.
