Chapter 148: Provoke

"Your siblings Masami….we didn't even ask yesterday. But, just how much of blind a genius are they?" Aniela was asking Masami, emphasizing the point of them being blind.

She was seriously wondering, with all the prowess Masami showed them, how could her siblings' talents supposedly be higher than hers? 

Masami only snorted in annoyance, remembering her family.

"Even as they're all identified with such titles, they are all idiotically irritating. I have three other siblings; one of them is my sister, who is only mere months older than me. And yet she was already a fourth level Heavenly King while I was only an Innate Core when I had left home. The second oldest is also a girl, and she's at the sixth level, and the eldest one is a boy. And he's at the seventh level."

Hearing such high realms, neither Darcel nor Aniela held any outstanding reactions. 

Aniela simply kept stroking Masami's tails while wondering how interesting their meeting will be with her siblings.

While Darcel took more of the time to ponder about those kids' levels. With as high a realm as those three are, Darcel could see why they would endlessly brag and irate Masami.

Just those three alone can easily run through the whole Blessed Spirit Province. Sure it was the ninth-ranked Province and the lowest one, but absolutely no one in that area could match Masami's siblings.

And Darcel knew it would be the same for the ninth-ranked all the way up to the fifth-ranked Province. 

Vice Principal Zelle taught him a bit about the Heavenly Transformation realm, and he also read a bit on it.

What he was taught was that there wasn't a single fourth level Heavenly King from the ninth-ranked to sixth-ranked Province. And there were only a select few fourth level Heavenly Kings in the fifth-ranked Province.

Compared to all other realms, the Heavenly Transformation is a whole different ballpark in practically everything relating to cultivation. 

This realm does offer a long lifespan, but it doesn't mean cultivation becomes faster here.

For most that breakthrough to this realm, their cultivation slows to a snail crawl. It was astronomically challenging to make any sort of progress in the Heavenly Transformation realm, no matter the process one use.

Even if one relies on the quickest and most unstable way of breaking through, consuming Heavenly Tier pills and other such Heavenly Tier resources. The quantity needed to breakthrough even one level is a price not even high influential sects could afford.

It's why comprehension and talent have to be on point in this realm. 

And even some luck here since it is possible for cultivators to find rare divine treasures that can also aid in their cultivation.

Still, Darcel also remembered that Masami mentioned her father is just one of her sect leaders. So he had asked her then, "Besides your direct family, who else should we take into….consideration?"

"Hmmm….well, our sect is made up of three factions. There's mine, the Kitsui faction, and where most if not all my headaches come from. The Koizma faction, and there's only one annoying bitch over there that irritates me above all in that faction. And of course, she's a genius on my Eldest brother level. Then finally, the Koduka faction. They….well, they bothered me the least, so I don't have much to say about them."

Masami explained, briefly recalling all the unpleasant and negative memories from home. Her face scrunched up for a second before melting back into relaxation when Aniela increased the strokes on her tail.

Aniela was preparing to continue the conversation, opening her mouth to speak. Until a blue flash right beside them caught all three of their attentions. 

A blue ring was glowing on a nice-looking stand beside their bed, and Ninu's voice echoed out from it.

"Master~! I have something you and the Mistresses must see! They say it's something from your past you would specifically be able to identify." 

For a moment, Darcel and even Aniela paused.

Their brains lagged a bit since they most obviously know nobody on this planet should have any kind of information on them. 

Until it hit both Darcel and Aniela like a ton of bricks.

Their expressions went severe, and their eyes narrowed as they recalled one specific event that started everything. 

The yellow-eyed woman teleportation incident! 

It was only a hunch at best. But Darcel and Aniela can tell whatever Ninu has in her possession is probably in some way related to that organization. 

Of course, this could all just be a ruse. 

But Darcel and Aniela weren't willing to bet on it, considering how sneaky and crafty those people in the Parasol Organization are. 

Masami had noted the duo's change in expression and more serious mood. Yet, she stayed quiet until it was the right opportunity to speak up.

Darcel finally spoke after a few seconds of silence, telling Ninu, "Come to our room and knock when you come. We'll go more into detail then. Get here quickly."

The blue contact ring instantly died down, returning the room back to slightly tense silence. 

And right then, Masami's two foxtails instinctively wrapped around Darcel and Aniela's wrist, providing them with a burst of soft warmth.

Masami wanted to help ease their rising tension as she never saw Darcel and Aniela get so serious about any situation until now. And it worked as she saw Darcel and Aniela's bodies visibly loosen up from her tails.

"Past troubles, like me, right?" Masami spoke in a rare soft, soothing tone that also helped Darcel and Aniela relax. 

Aniela began to stroke her cute fluffy fox ears again, saying to her, "Sort of….but we're not soo….uuhm. I mean….we didn't mean to keep it a secret, but-" 

"Our origins are a bit complicated. And without realizing it, our showcase of power may have attracted a troublesome enemy for us."

Masami didn't say anything and nodded. She swiftly sat up from Darcel's lap and pulled in to give him a warm, soothing kiss. 

Darcel was a bit surprised at her sudden initiative, but he actually liked this kind of kiss.

It wasn't their usual lustful kiss. Instead, it was a nice chaste kiss that allowed Darcel to feel Masami's warm feelings. 

They stayed like this, in perfect harmony, for a couple seconds.

Masami had then pulled back from the kiss with a slight yet cute smirk. "Hmph, you see? I can also be surprisingly intimate and caring!" 

But right then, Masami's eyes pulled over to Aniela. And she felt her cheeks color with Aniela. 

Aniela had a teasing smile, and the expression on her face was expecting for Masami to kiss her as well. 

Masami could only embarrassedly stutter out, "U-Uhm….can we just hug? I-I'm no so good-Mnh?!" 

Aniela didn't have any of what Masami was saying, so she pulled over and gave her a sweet, chaste kiss right on her lips.

Masami's eyes sprang open in brief shock. However, she actually didn't want to pull back. Though Masami wouldn't admit this out loud, she always felt incredibly good whenever Aniela touched her body.

The moment that always stays in her head was when Aniela sucked on her breast, teetering her to an overwhelming orgasm. 

But for this kiss, just like with Darcel, it was sweet and warm, full of their feelings for one another.

After a couple of seconds, Aniela pulled back with a massive smile on her face. "Sweet and warm! Now I see why you love kissing us so much, Darcy." 

Aniela had absolutely no problem with kissing Masami.

Even as she is another woman, Aniela simply wanted to share her loving feelings with Masami. And it also helped that the kiss felt incredibly good. 

Masami had put her hand to her chest.

She felt odd there. It was warm and fuzzy, just like how she feels with Darcel. Masami could tell her feelings for Aniela were always there. Still, she especially had zero experience in that kind of department.

But with this kiss, enhanced Masami's feelings for Aniela even more. 

"Haah….shameless woman." She uttered out in a soft, quiet tone though a small smile graced her lips.

During the whole time watching, Darcel felt something spark in him. He felt his Darkness Soul slink quiver as if it suddenly experienced incredible growth, but that wasn't what got his attention.

Darcel felt a more primal emotion nearly overtake him, watching his cute girlfriends kiss each other. It was incredibly arousing to see their beautiful faces meshed against each other, and their gorgeous tits mush up to each other.

It almost made Darcel push down both girls and do some rather hot steamy plays with them. Alas, Darcel quickly pushed that thought down. 

He had a potentially critical meeting coming up, after all.

….

It didn't take long for Ninu to come up to their rooms. 

Currently, the trio was fully clothed and sat at the edge of the bed. Ninu stood in front of them with her hands in her pockets.

Darcel felt his tension slightly increased as he said, "Okay, show us whatever you have, Ninu." 

Ninu nodded, reached into her pockets, and pulled out a small black bug that had a white note attached to it.

Immediately, Darcel and Aniela shot up. 

Their eyes squared in on the bug as their nerves tensed up. It really was the damn Parasol Organization! 

And one of those rat bastards is inside the town with them….

"Ah, Master. The note said you would recognize it. It specifically said, 'Show this to the one you call Master, he and that white hair girl will know exactly what this is. Once you show it to him, tell him to follow this bug's aura. Or I'll specifically come to greet him and those girls.'"

Darcel quickly snatched the bug from Ninu's hand. 

Staring at the bug up close, all kinds of unpleasant memories sprang back up in Darcel's head. Unpleasant memories that was also shared with Aniela as she narrowed her eyes on the bug.

Numerous thoughts ran in the duo's mind until Darcel told Ninu, "If you have everything under control here, then go and make an alliance with the Nobe's Fang group. We will be busy for a bit, but I'll contact you if we need any support."

Ninu paused as she didn't immediately accept the order. Something in her gut was telling her to disobey and protect Master's safety. 

The way that bug appeared to Ninu was still fresh in her mind, and she didn't feel all that comfortable with letting Master go on his own with the Mistresses.

However, inside the center of Ninu's soul core, Darcel's Darkness Soul link pulsed. It overwrote her doubts and assured Ninu that nothing dangerous could possibly happen to her Master.

"....Okay, Master. But, be careful Master. The way that bug came to me was weird. I couldn't sense it at all at first." Ninu explained and quickly left the room then.

Masami, who's been silent this entire time, scrunched up her face while looking at the black bug. "What an ugly creation. But judging by your two faces, it's not just ugly at all. What exactly is it?"

"My little fox, this annoying thing had kept Darcy and I starving for Qi for years! This was interjected straight into our dantian, making it impossible for us to break through at first. And to create this….I only know a select few who can."

Masami was a bit surprised hearing such an overwhelming description from such a little bug. 

Darcel continued on to say, "Yep. One of the scientists who's especially a slithering rat. And I know what he wants, to lure us. He had, of course, saw our battle, yet he's not afraid at all of openly provoking us. But if he was so strong, he wouldn't use such a roundabout way to get us. Hm, what do you girls say about this?"

"I say, it's payback time! I've waited too long to be able to get the chance at putting those rotten scientists six feet under! Plus, all we did was unleash our aura onto the town. That guy still doesn't know all of the cards under our belt." Aniela was pumped up and ready to fight.

Masami looked a little bit confused, but her confidence was at an all-time high. "I may not understand what's fully going on but, isn't this guy just another overly arrogant, fat sheep for us?"

With their current strength and items, Darcel didn't fear anyone under the fourth level of the Heavenly Transformation realm. 

And even then, Darcel was also assured they could take on someone like Ninu in a fight.

So with his confidence through the roof, Darcel told the girls, "This guy is a fat sheep, isn't he? Alright, since he so badly wants to meet us, let's not let down this guy's expectations, right?"

Aniela and Masami broadly smiled with an overflow of confidence. 

But deep inside Darcel, he didn't let any of it affect his current mood. Yet, there was something about the upcoming fight he felt odd about it.

Like something will drastically change. 

And at the same time, Darcel still didn't feel it would be an endangerment to his or his girls' lives. Whatever it was, though, Darcel was ready for it.
