Chapter 273 Astaria's Breakthrough
6/7
----------
"Girls, clean up the place, I'm going out~" dropping the guandao she's holding in a moment, something that she so rarely do as she thinks of the weapon, even if it's not her main one, as a part of her body, the valiant-looking blond beauty orders as she joyfully hums a tune to herself while moving out of the training room, leaving only a lone weapon, and the traces of her practice for the maidservants to observe.
"City Lord really places that man in a high regard huh…" watching their worshipped City Lord just going full maiden mode once she heard about that man's arrival, one of the maidservants couldn't help but remark while smiling.
"Have you never seen him? Anyone will place him in high regards just by his looks, not to mention how great he is" recalling the appearance of that particular young man as well as the feats he achieved just from his first time appearing publicly in this world, another maidservant asked as they proceed to go towards where their city lord trains, the marks of her weapon on the hard walls and floor making them wonder just how strong the current hero of the Frontier City has become.
Due to how large the traces of her training is however, the maidservants fail to recognize just how terrifying each of the attacks are that its traces, if viewed from up above, blooms into an orchard of flowers with each slash, groups of those slashes focusing on just one spot as if it is the core of the flower, and the slashes were its petals.

"It's been more than half a month, where did you go all this time, Su Tian?" after cleaning herself up and finding a good dress that will elevate her feminine appeal, the valiant looking blond beauty rushes to the reception room of her abode, her eyes going around the entire room in search of someone, a figure that she often misses whenever he's away.
"Astaria…" standing up from the soft seat facing the door of the room, a young man speaks up as he approaches the valiant-looking beauty, the beauty just standing there mesmerized, drunk on his immortal-like appearance and charms.
"…It has been quite a while indeed, and… hmm? You've grown stronger huh?" finally standing just in front of the valiant-looking beauty, the immortal-like young man first noticed a few things before he noticed something worth of celebration, the first even person he taught about cultivation finally breaking through higher realm and reaching something that this world only dreams of.
Peering into her information using the True Sight Technique, the immortal-like young man nods at the numbers he saw pasted on the semi-transparent floating golden screen.

Once he read about this, the immortal-like young man smiles at her and praised her for her achievement, causing the blond beauty to look at the ground as she blushes, all while muttering about a completely different thing.
"You should've praised me for my appearance first…" completely forgetting how absurd the senses of the young man in front of him are, Astaria mutters to herself while holding the hem of her skirt, all while refusing to show the immortal-like young man that she's currently biting the lower part of her lips out of frustration.
Hearing the words that the lady said, the immortal-like young man couldn't help but feel like saying something, directing his attention to the pure white one-piece dress she's currently wearing, its skirt reaching until her knees.
"You've done well on your cultivation, Astaria, and also, that dress looks great on you" moving one of his hands to touch the top of her head, the immortal-like young man praises as he reaches out, the valiant-looking beauty clearly enjoying his touch as she rubs her head on the large hand on top of her as well, acting like a cat trying to smear its scent on its favorite thing.
"Thanks Tian…" moving towards the chairs once again, the valiant-looking beauty expresses her gratitude as the two of them sits, surprising the immortal-like young man as she sat right next to him, just humming a little tune happily as she enjoys her time with him.
"So, what did you do these past weeks?" looking at the immortal-like young man before cupping her own head with both her dainty hands, Astaria asks with curiosity filling her beautiful face, the immortal-like young man merely smiling at her actions as he starts narrating some of the things that happened back in Sky Soul Star, the beauty clearly enjoying the storytelling as her eyes glow bright multiple times in the course of their conversations.
"Haahh… that is so great, your planet must really be such a great place to live in, Tian, so much mystical things, so many good places to explore" after the storytelling time is done, the valiant-looking beauty walks towards the window of the reception room, opening it and peering towards the outside, her own city, the city erected by her ancestors and kept maintained and safe by her blood all the way down to her, the current city lord.
No matter how much she loves this place though, she's just a young soul as well, yearning for the outside, hence she dreams time and time again of achieving this, having only getting a small progress given that their city needs to defend the entire world from the threat of the Grand Valley Line, a threat that is gradually disappearing now.
"You can go outside you know? And no, not just you, you can also bring your people outside" knowing that it is a great time to tell his plans to her, the immortal-like young man pointed out as he stands up as well, standing just right beside her to look at the flourishing city, like a small utopia of people just living in harmony there, no matter the difference in their social standing.
Past beyond the city walls however, shows an absolutely revolting scene that will leave everyone in shock, an amalgamation of black rotting flesh and oozing substances completely pinned to the ground, five spears bearing different colors pinning its limbs and its head, said spears forming a perfect cycle of the five elements as it continues to suppress the beast's repugnant body.
On the ground near this gigantic abomination, there are other beasts still trying to advance towards the land of the frontier city, however, contrary to how it was sometimes ago back when they are just martial artists struggling to fend for themselves, the people of the city can now easily deal with these creatures, their bodies glowing with different light as they infuse element on all of their techniques, making their attacks even more lethal against their opponents.
"You know I can't yet, Tian, if we leave, this world is fated to be doomed…" knowing what he wants and why is he telling her something like that, the beauty replies with some reluctance on her voice, clearly wanting to go with him as well but not before she finishes the duty sworn by their blood.
