Seth and Rina didn't immediately go up the stairs to the second floor, since it was still early in the night. Cultivators didn't have the need to sleep frequently, because their bodies were naturally stronger and more resilient. That's one of the hundreds of thousands of advantages that stepping up the cultivation road could bring a practitioner.

Actually, Seth was not in the right mood to even try to sleep. His mind couldn't rest, drowning in the heavy feeling caused by the things that had happened in the Blazing Phoenix Sect.

He recalled the time he went to Huo Shihong's office, warn him of the incoming danger. If his father-in-law had accepted Seth's help at that time, maybe things could have taken a turn for the better. At that time, Seth had a plan to actually lure those members of the Twelve Shadows inside the Fire Labyrinth, and fight them together while taking advantage of the myriad traps they could build together beforehand.

However, he didn't think Velgor would speed up the operation, causing things to happen the way they happened.

Huo Shihong died, the Blazing Phoenix Sect lost the war and Meiyi's situation was weighing down on his shoulders, making his semblance always heavy and a permanent frown to appear on his face.

Rina noticed those things, since even the way Seth acted, was different from before.

"Rina... I'm sorry for bringing you to such gloomy scenarios. First what happened in the Hilkhell city and now all of this... Everything is a complete mess.

"

"Come on... You don't need to apologize. Those things couldn't have been foreseen. None of that is your fault too.

"

"Sigh... I promise you that the place we're going to go, will be different.

" Seth said while looking outside the window.

"You've yet to tell me where we are going.

"

"And I won't. At least let me surprise you this time.

"

"Alright. However, you're wrong on something...

"

"I am wrong?

"

"Yeah. I will be the one who's going to surprise you.

"

After saying those words, Rina suddenly turned around and went up the stairs, leaving Seth behind.

He didn't understand anything, so he decided to let it go. Seth looked towards a bottle of wine and used his Mana to attract it.

He poured a cup for himself and started drinking while still admiring the scenery outside.

After having enough of thinking about what happened and drinking the whole bottle, Seth decided to go upstairs to tell Rina something. He's been delaying this, but he wanted to instruct her in her combat training, something he found more than necessary now.

Seth had observed her previous fights and had some ideas on how to improve her prowess. Now that they had time, he could teach her many things. She had many good points, but she was lacking experience, what he had plenty of.

He arrived outside the door of his room, where she said she would be. However, he expected that she would

"shoo

" him away after their talk, making him sleep on the first floor.

He opened the door and quickly closed it after entering. When he moved his head to look at the front though, he really got surprised by what he was seeing.

Rina had taken her green cape off, revealing her otherworldly beauty for Seth. She didn't wear it all day, but she liked to wear that cape, since it was a precious gift from her mother. However, when she was not wearing it, was actually when Seth liked the most.

But what made him surprised, wasn't that fact, but the fact that she had taken her other clothes off too. She was only wearing her underwear, making Seth's blood run wild.

Just a single look at her and a bulge was already forming on his pants.

"I'm sorry, I've entered at the wrong time.

"

Seth thought he had entered while she was changing her clothes and decided to quickly leave. But when he was about to turn around, he heard Rina's voice urging him to stop.

"No. Please stay...

" She was too shy to say anything more than that and her voice was really low.

Seth got surprised after hearing her words. Suddenly, he understood part of the situation. Rina had a very bashful personality and it was developed that way because of how her mother raised her; alone and far from anyone. It made her develop some social problems, what made her current actions, a really difficult thing for her to do.

That's why he understood that he had to be the one to push forward and lead.

He slowly walked towards her, admiring her white skin and lithe figure. She was kind of covering her underwear with her arms and hands, feeling too embarrassed to show them.

Seth arrived in front of her and grabbed her hands, making her stop covering her body.

"You shouldn't cover it. You're very beautiful and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

"

His words made her relieve part of her embarrassment, but not all of it.

"Rina... Are you sure you want to proceed with this?

" Seth asked her, since he knew she must be kind of forcing it a bit.

Rina was really forcing herself to forget that he had other women, but it was something hard for her to do. However, when she heard how kind and concerned his words were, she realized that she wanted to move forward.

Seeing his downcast expression and feeling his bitter mood had made her feel painful. That was the primary reason she wanted to do this. To cheer him up.

However, at this moment, she realized she wanted to stay beside him even if he had a mountain of other girls.

Most of her fears, came from the possibility of him abandoning her and leaving her alone. She has always been alone and the thought of him having other women, may her have the illusion he would leave her aside. But, after staying with him all this time, she was able to see how much he cared about his girls.

"Seth... Do you like me?

"

"Rina, I like you. I like how innocent and naïve you are; I like how inexperienced and embarrassed you get on these times; I like how cheerful and strong you get just to please someone important for you; I like how beautiful and dreamlike your face is and I like how sweet and delicate your scent is.

"

With each words Seth said, part of her last defenses was melting down, bit by bit, until nothing remained. Right at the moment he finished, she jumped on him, seizing his lips with hers, even though she didn't know how to do it.

She had seen him doing it with Caizhi and her mother, and decided to imitate.

Even though her kiss was naïve and simple, it meant a lot for Seth. He let her do it the way she liked for some time, enjoying it to the fullest.

After some time, Seth suddenly pulled her closer, embracing her body and changing the way they kissed. He started to guide her naïve movements, turning their kiss into a passionate experience. With his hands, he started to caress her body, making Rina feel a very pleasant sensation.

"Ahn!

"

When she opened her mouth to voice out the pleasure in the form of a moaning, Seth took the opportunity to send his tongue in an expedition. An expedition to explore her mouth.

Rina felt his tongue entering, and her rights of leading the situation were taken away from her. All she was able to do was to enjoy that new sensation while letting Seth guide her to whatever destination he wished to go.

At the same time, his hands started to get more daring, moving from her hips to her back and then going down to her buttocks. He started off just touching them, something that went unnoticed for Rina.

Less than a minute later, he was already lightly caressing them. However, Rina was so focused on the new feelings on her lips that she let it pass unnoticed. But when Seth started to squeeze harder, she let out some muffed sounds of pleasure.

"Umm...

"

Seth was getting excited and his blood started to rush to his nether regions. He felt like he wanted to go to the final act, but he held himself a bit, since he was dealing with a maiden's first time.

Suddenly, he stopped kissing her, picking her up and lying her down on the bed. Rina still had her underwear on but it wasn't time to take her clothes off, but his.

Seth didn't immediately attack her. He started to take his clothes off, showing off his strong and firm body for Rina, arousing her even more.

He removed his shirt and pants, only staying with his black underwear that had taken the format of a tent.

When Rina put her eyes on his muscles, her desires suddenly spiked, rising to new levels. However, after she looked towards Seth's underpants, she couldn't help but feel fear.

There is no way she would be able to face off against the monster trying to rip a hole on that underwear.

But even though she was feeling a bit of fear, there was a stronger feeling of curiosity.. She didn't know from where did a raging desire to see what laid behind that piece of fabric come from, but she had to see it no matter what.
