BXBX NOVEL Chapter 72 Small Disturbance
Rita opened her eyes as a faint purple mist flashed past them, "I finally broke through in the middle stage of the Qi foundation building!" She mumbled with ecstasy.
In the Qi foundation-building realm, she needed to fill her newly opened Prime Dantian with Yin Qi. Right now, her Dantian was half filled with misty Yin Qi, and when it was completely filled with misty Yin Qi, she would achieve the high stage of Qi foundation-building realm. To reach the peak stage, she needed to turn that misty Yin Qi into a liquid state.
Normally this process would\'ve taken at least three years, but with Cyrus Yang\'s essence, Rita\'s progress was like a shooting start. Furthermore, with infinity pleasure ability, this progress will only be intensified.
In an excellent mood, Rita looked around for Cyrus as she wanted to replenish her Yang essence from Cyrus while she was also feeling horny after her breakthrough.
But to her surprise, Cyrus wasn\'t anywhere to be found, and when her eyes landed on the letter carved on the floor, her eyes narrowed.
"I\'m going to investigate the situation outside. Wait for me. Cyrus~"
Rita pursed her lips, "How impatient!" She wanted to explore together, but Cyrus just couldn\'t remain idle either.
However, just when she was about to mull over some spells which she still hadn\'t mastered, she heard footsteps with her excellent hearing.
\'Two pairs?\' She squinted her eyes as she didn\'t think it was Cyrus since he was alone and taking any action because of the barrier Cyrus left.
However, when those footsteps kept approaching in her direction, she frowned but didn\'t panic as she had blind faith in those spell barriers left behind by Cyrus.
But she was startled when she saw two figures walk into the closed space like they were crossing a liquid wall.
However, her shock turned into surprise, and then coldness crept into her eyes when she saw it was Cyrus and he was holding the fair hand of a masked woman with snow-white hair.
Hilda also looked at Rita with scrutiny. A flash of astonishment surfaced in her eyes when she saw Rita was quite beautiful, and there was a natural charm around her which made even someone like her feel she was attractive.
\'How can this woman be one of those magicless ordinaries?\' She thought coldly.
"Who is she?" Rita asked with narrowed eyes as a foreboding feeling washed over her heart when she saw Cyrus was holding this buxom woman\'s hand.
Although her face was hidden behind the silver mask, her buxom figure and glossy white skin were evident that she had to be quite beautiful.
\'Don\'t tell me this guy go out for only a few hours, and he already found himself another woman?\' Rita thought grimly.
Cyrus looked at Rita\'s grave expression, and he had seen many such expressions in the past, so he knew trouble was on the horizon.
Still, he feigned ignorance and introduced Hilda to Rita, "She is Hilda, and she will be my second Dao Companion. As for what Dao companion is, let me explain, so there won\'t be any room for doubts, and it will also clarify your status by my side as well…"
Cyrus then explains to Rita about the Dao Companionship as he did with Hilda.
Rita listened with a complicated glint in her eyes. Despite knowing that Cyrus would have multiple women, she still felt pain rising in her heart when it finally happened.
However, she was still happy when Cyrus gave her the status of First Dao Companion, which meant she would be his first woman no matter how many women he had in the future.
But deep down, she wanted to protest, but she knew whining won\'t help, and she could only accept his decision and then strive to be the best and most powerful woman among his other woman. Only then will she be able to maintain her status as First Sister!
Rita finally stood up and headed toward Cyrus or, more accurately, toward Hilda.
"Are you Unique?" She asked with coldness in her eyes.
Hilda was quite surprised when he heard Cyrus only explain about Dao Companionship to Rita just now, which could only mean she was really like her and might belong to the slum district.
Now, she felt the hate behind Rita\'s words and her means of calling her \'Unique.\' It was quite apparent that this woman was really an exile.
First, Hilda retracted her hand from Cyrus since he was only holding it because without him, she won\'t be able to enter this place, and it was quite shocking to her as well.
Then she replied, "I\'m not Unique in front of Lord Cyrus."
What she said came from her heart, and she also didn\'t call Cyrus by his name since she felt she wasn\'t strong enough to call him by his name. She was a very proud woman and being called \'Lord\' was proof enough of her respect for someone.
Rita was also quite surprised by Hilda\'s reply and the way she called Cyrus.
This also lessened some hostility she had toward her because she was unique.
But this didn\'t mean she was not hostile at all, "Why do you choose to follow him? Don\'t you Uniques discard us because we are incapable of practicing magic? Don\'t tell me now you discard your own family because it\'s in your…"
"Enough!" Cyrus didn\'t let her continue since she was going too far.
Although he encouraged a competitive environment between his women, he would never allow them to spread hate, especially when they involved their families.
Hilda had already clenched her fist as her eyes flared with anger. If not for Cyrus, she would\'ve already started fighting Rita for speaking ill of her family. They were the only people she cared about, and no one had ever talked ill about them in front of her.
Cyrus looked at Rita, who was biting her lips in resentment, and softly said, "I know you hate Uniques, but you can\'t blame their descendants for the sin of their ancestors.
"Although they were wrong by making ordinaries and BODs imprisoned in here, it didn\'t mean they just left you guys in here to die. There were still some people among Unique who protected the rights of you guys, and that\'s how you were still living in this place peacefully.
"So, not all the Uniques are bad, and Hilda is now one of us, so you should respect her and always have her back. Even if you didn\'t want to, if you have any respect for me, then you will never let this kind of conduct happen again."
Rita listened attentively to Cyrus with somewhat misty eyes and clenched her fists, but in the end, she took a sharp, deep breath to calm her raging emotions. She knew she had gone too far just now, almost crossing the line.
Furthermore, Cyrus was right. Hilda wasn\'t even born when the slum district was created, nor was she. She just started feeling hatred for the Uniques after going through the ordeal with the underworld.
"I apologize for my lack of manners and my unintentional words toward you and your family. I\'m not highborn like you, and what I am today is because of this man I loved more than anything in this world.
"So, even if he wanted my life, I would give him, much less let go of my childish hate or even accept you or any other woman by his side. But I want to make one thing clear between us. If you have any ill intention toward him, I will not forgive you.
"If you can accept this much, then we are sisters from now on and have each other back?" Rita said as she dispatched her hand toward her, indicating a handshake gesture.
Hilda was baffled by this entire situation since she never thought Cyrus\'s few words were enough to make Rita bow her head and even apologize to her.
Furthermore, her last words were filled with mad convictions, and she wasn\'t joking about any of that.
She coldly looked at Rita\'s hand and her sincerer expression, which was completely different from a few moments ago when she was filled with hate for what happened to the ordinaries.
She then couldn\'t help but glance at Cyrus, who now had a content smile looking at Rita.
In the end, she also took a deep breath and unclenched her fist before she took her hand. They clench each other hands firmly.
"I don\'t know what kind of hardship you have faced in this place, and truly I never thought about it either. But now that I met you, I think I wasn\'t the only one who had faced hardship.
"As for harming Lord Cyrus, I don\'t think anyone is capable of doing it, and even if there was, I am not an ingrate who bites the hand which feeds her. So, we will get along well. First Sister!" Hilda solemnly stated.
It was her first time encountering a woman who dared to confront her like this, and she was also selected by Cyrus, so she was worthy of her respect!
