Chapter 655 - The Reason
"Firia!"
Alex released all sorts of feelings. Anxious, yearning, hope, but most importantly, love. He hugged her as tight as possible, afraid she would disappear the moment he let go of her.
She was one of the two people that he always wanted to see, the reason why he wanted to become stronger. He could face all of these tortures so as to reunite with her one more time.
"Husband. I have come back. Don\'t worry, I won\'t leave you again." Firia hugged him back gently, trying to calm him down. "I will accompany you in this world."
"Accompany me?" Alex\'s body shook by this word as he abruptly released her and locked into her eyes, dumbfounded.
"Yes. I have been training with your Master\'s wife this whole time. According to our plan, Alicia will also come back to this place, but… Due to some circ.u.mstances, she decided to stay there, waiting for you to come." Firia answered calmly. She closed her eyes for a while, recalling the meeting she had with Alicia.
…
A few days ago,
Firia\'s training had come to an end. Her master had finally given her permission to visit Alex and helped him. She even had Zark to pick her up to meet Lin Xingzhi and Alicia.
Of course, both of them had been waiting for her. Even Alicia stopped her training and waited in the castle.
Firia entered the room where they used to meet if they wanted to talk about Alex.
Outside the room, specifically on the balcony, two women were chatting over tea. They turned around after noticing Firia\'s presence, and Alicia waved her hand, asking her to come.
Firia nodded and sat while Lin Xingzhi poured her tea.
"To think you have reached 8-Star Martial Monarch this soon…" Lin Xingzhi smiled with a slight surprise in her tone.
"That\'s right. I\'m still a 7-Star Martial Monarch right now…" Alicia added while pouting.
"It\'s thanks to Sister Xingzhi. If you don\'t help me out and meet my master, how can I reach my current state?" Firia humbly said.
"Haha… It\'s also thanks to your effort that you can reach this step. You even pass Alex, who is currently a 3-Star Martial Monarch. I know that you want to meet him right now, but I have a plan. Care to hear me out?"
"A plan?" Firia and Alicia were surprised.
"Yeah. In a few days, Alex is going to fight two Martial Saints with Martial Monarchs and Martial Emperors behind them." Lin Xingzhi told them Alex\'s condition.
"Do you want us to help him? Although I wish to help him, I know that my strength is not strong enough to help him." Firia asked with great doubt in her heart.
Alicia also thought the same. Firia, who was stronger than her, had no confidence, let alone her.
"I know. Alex is planning to use Maxwell\'s token that contains the Fire Devil Strings technique to kill the two Martial Saints. This will leave Martial Monarchs and Martial Emperors. I want you to make an entrance at this moment. This will allow you to show your progress to Alex as well as make a flashy entrance rather than a normal entrance. Isn\'t it more romantic?" Lin Xingzhi smirked slyly.
"I don\'t really care about the entrance to be honest. I only wish to meet him again. This is why I got stronger in the first place." Firia shook her head.
Alicia thought the same before she suddenly noticed something was wrong. She furrowed her eyebrows and looked down, leaving Firia and Lin Xingzhi talking among themselves.
"Haha… If you want to meet him normally, you will have a hard time finding his base. Our Nelson is the number one spy in Eulja. Unless you have a precise map, it will be hard to meet him. That\'s why I also want to use this opportunity so both of you can meet him." Lin Xingzhi explained her reason.
Firia pondered for a moment and agreed with her plan. "I understand. I will go according to Sister Xingzhi\'s plan." Firia nodded.
"Great!" Lin Xingzhi smiled before looking at Alicia.
"Actually…" Alicia suddenly put on a serious expression as if she had a great problem in her heart. "… I don\'t want to go anymore."
"Eh?" Firia widened her eyes and opened her mouth. She couldn\'t believe what she just heard. "Alicia? What are you talking about?"
Lin Xingzhi also furrowed her eyebrows. Alicia had been wondering when she could meet Alex this whole time, and when the opportunity finally arrived, she decided to abandon it. How could it not shock her?
"I know you must be confused as to why I choose this option. I have one simple reason. We have been getting stronger so we can assist him, right?" Alicia asked Firia and Lin Xingzhi.
Firia nodded with solemn expressions. The answer was obvious. "Certainly."
"The same applies to him. He is getting stronger for the sake to meet us." Alicia looked at her with a sad look. "If we appear before him, will he still have this desire?"
"!!!" Firia was stunned by her question. This answer was as obvious as the last question.
Lin Xingzhi suddenly rose from her seat and hugged Alicia, burying her face under her b.o.o.b.s. "I really never choose the wrong sister!"
"Haha… This is the best for me, Firia, you, and Alex." Alicia chuckled. "His desire to get stronger will vanish because his goal has been achieved. The current him can\'t seal someone else\'s cultivation. In other words, we can\'t go back to the Lower World and have a happy life there… all of us.
"We will be forced to stay in that world because Alex might feel all of this is enough for him. His current strength is only enough to live either on the Sacred Continent or Northern Continent. Unfortunately, he has so many enemies this time. Even if he still wants to get stronger to solve Letizia\'s matter, we will only stop at Heavenly Continent.
"I don\'t wish for it to happen. We have been separated from him for almost a decade. Yet, the yearning is very unbearable. How about Sister Xingzhi, who has been waiting for him for thousands of years. This is so sad." Alicia shook her head while closing her eyes. She already considered Lin Xingzhi as her sister and Alex\'s wife this whole time, and the feeling wasn\'t as bad as she felt. Instead, she actually felt happy from the bottom of her heart, like when she heard Alex finally accepted Sherry.
"I will stay here with sister Xingzhi and wait for him to come here. This way, he will still have the drive to get stronger, and we will receive the happy ending we hope for. That\'s why you go and help him on his journey. Seeing your cultivation speed, you must have your Tribulation to Godhood before him. At that time, you can say you are waiting in Eulja." Alicia smiled.
"Then, I can stay here instead of you. Your last meeting with him is full of sadness. That\'s why it\'s better for you to go while I\'m waiting here." Firia bit her lips and looked into her eyes.
"No. It\'s better if you go to him. Let\'s think about this, what kind of reason can we give to Alex to make him believe us?" Alicia asked. "Nothing, right? That\'s why I\'m planning to say that I have several matters here and can\'t meet him for the time being. As for you, you can\'t say anything because you have finished your training. It\'s only another few years, I can stand it."
Firia couldn\'t say a single thing to her… "What if we don\'t come back and just wait for him together?"
"That can\'t be allowed. We agreed to meet him long ago, so this plan still needs to be carried. Besides, I believe that if only one of us here while the other is waiting for him out there. We can stimulate his desire to get stronger even more." Alicia nodded.
"Still, Sherry and the others can return to his body while the others can enter the card. If I am there in a perilous situation, I might unnecessarily hurt him. After all, his situation is currently far more dangerous than it used to be." Firia furrowed her eyebrows.
"If he is only a Martial King, I can say we will truly burden him. However, he is already strong enough, and our existence won\'t bring him too much problem with his Teleportation Array. You remembered that Nelson actually accompanied him the whole time in that Special Realm, right?"
"Yes." Firia let out a sigh, knowing she had no other excuse to reject this. While they were talking, Lin Xingzhi thought of something.
"I need to go somewhere for a few minutes. Wait for me here, alright?" said Lin Xingzhi before flying away.
Alicia and Firia were stupefied. They had no important matter today, so Lin Xingzhi\'s action was very suspicious. Yet none of them said anything as they simply had another light chat.
A few minutes later, Lin Xingzhi came back while bringing a fruit on her hands. The fruit had a star shape while releasing a powerful Fire Energy.
"Sister Xingzhi, that is…" Firia noticed this fruit as a fire user.
"Yeah. This is Star Fruit. It has a very nourishing Fire Energy that even God Stage experts would find it useful. It can boost one\'s Fire Talent and Strength. This is a priceless fruit… But I think the reason I bring it here is obvious." She smiled at Firia.
"You want me to bring it to Alex for his fourth refinement?" Firia asked.
"Yes. At first, I have been storing this to give him one through Gacha since this is the only one I have for his Undying Fire Body refinement. However, I think it\'s better to give him now because the situation is getting pretty dangerous. This should be able to increase his cultivation slightly, and the refinement will greatly enhance his strength. He will have more options to face his enemies this way." Xingzhi gave Firia another reason to go.
"So that\'s why sister Xingzhi asked the others to search around. It\'s to find all the materials for his Undying Fire Body?" Alicia asked.
"Yeah. After all, each material is very priceless. I even doubted myself to see Alex could get three of them in that world." She nodded. "I have gotten the information about the fifth material, Fire Grass, in a certain world and send the spirits to confirm the rumor and acquire it. But I am still waiting for the result. I can\'t go there anyway because of the world\'s barrier."
"I think we shouldn\'t bring them back here and let them stay there. At some point, Alex should be able to seal others\' cultivations with his Unique Space Ability. We can then sneak inside that world and enjoy those worlds with him. In fact, Sister Xingzhi can take the first one. This way, you can start making a move to have him fall in love with you. After this, six of us can enjoy the time with him together in the next world." Alicia smirked.
"That is a good idea. It can also speed up the progress between sister Xingzhi and Alex." Firia nodded.
"You two…" Lin Xingzhi was overwhelmed by emotions.
"Like how sister Xingzhi helped us this whole time, we also want to help you."
"That\'s right. If sister doesn\'t accept this, I won\'t bring the fruit to him." Firia backed Alicia up. "Besides, we can visit our Agar World to visit our parents and Alex\'s Teacher… Though the latter should have been reincarnated somewhere."
Tears were swelling up as she never thought the two new sisters were this considerate. "Alright."
The three smiled at each other and continued to have a pleasant talk until Firia needed to go. Zark brought her to Alex\'s world and teleported her right above him. In other words, she had been high in the sky this whole time, waiting for the perfect opportunity to make her appearance.
…
Back to the present,
Firia suddenly kissed him twice. Alex didn\'t know why, but each kiss held a different emotion. "The first one was mine. While Alicia asked me to do it… She is truly missing you, Husband."
