Chapter 232 A Relaxing Day With Friends Part 1
Mira woke up relatively early feeling refreshed and then proceeded to get ready for the day. When she was about to leave her bedroom, she stared at Rhydian for a few minutes wondering when this lazy wolf was going to wake up. She hoped that he would wake up soon because she really doesn't want to have to carry her when they leave the Sect. Plus, she'd make a great mount!
Mira shook her head at these thoughts and decided to just wait. She's not in too much of a hurry to leave since she hasn't even broken through to the Peak of the Foundation Realm. Though accomplishing that shouldn't be too hard since she only needs a little push to break through to that stage.
This is all thanks to the pure and dense Qi in the Secret Realm. She hardly had to focus on cultivating there and even though she wasn't focused on cultivating during the last year of her stay, the environment still helped her push her cultivation near the Peak-Xiantian Stage of the Foundation Realm.
Still, she probably won't be cultivating over the next few days to a week. Her mind has been cluttered and she's become a bit 'moody' after having that fight with Maria and Celaine. Her usual indifferent self is in an almost constant state of fluctuation. Sometimes she feels extra indifferent while other times she feels the urge to tease and be playful. She also has the occasional urge to be lazy! What nonsense is that?!
All in all, her mind is not stable right now and the death aura exuding from her seems to be increasing slightly by the day. It isn't by much, probably somewhere around a .1% growth from what it was previously, but that tiny percentage is more than enough for her to worry.
Just by remembering the last time this aura was fully unleashed sent tiny shivers down her spine. Even for someone like her, who treats life with borderline hate and won't hesitate to cause a mass genocide, those scenes were something that she would not even want to use on her worst enemy. In fact, she hopes that she can kill that sicko 'god' without having to do something that atrocious.
"Fuck me. Hopefully nothing too bad happens in the foreseeable future or until I get this shit under control."
Mira muttered under her breath and walked out of her room. Although she said that, there wasn't much she could do at this point. So far the only reliable way she's found to cease this death aura from growing is for her to die. Sounds ironic that she needs to die in order to get rid of this nasty aura, but for whatever reason that's how it is. And it's not like this kind of thing happens often. So far, this is the 3rd time she's having to deal with this. She can control it to an extent, but she still has no idea how to stop it from growing.
Anyways, Mira pushed those depressing thoughts to the back of her mind when she found Maria playing with Vulcan outside of her room.
"Mira! You're awake! How was your sleep? Did you sleep well? Because I slept like a rock! No, maybe even a rock wouldn't have slept as well as me hahaha!"
Mira nodded her head at Maria's questions.
"I woke up yesterday, but I was able to get a good rest."
"Oh? You woke up yesterday? What'd you do yesterday? Did you cultivate? Or maybe you trained? I assume Celaine wasn't awake yesterday as well so you must've been alone. Oh! Has Rhydian woken up? I know she went into a deep sleep before we left for the Secret Realm."
Maria launched one question after another and Mira started getting a slight headache. She almost forgot that Maria will talk her ears off if she's not already doing something.
"I walked around the Sect yesterday."
Mira said briefly without explaining, but this information still shocked Maria to the core.
"WHAT?! You did that?? Willingly? And by yourself, no less?? Are you okay, Mira? As much as I want to be happy about this information, for whatever reason I feel more concerned than happy. Now that I think about it, you've been acting kind of weird ever since our fight a few weeks ago… Did you going into that weird scary mode do something to you? C'mon Mira, you can tell me! If you need any help, Celaine and I are more than willing to do something!"
'Fuck! Why is she acting all smart right now? Where's the usual Maria?'
Mira cursed in her mind since she didn't think that Maria would be able to connect the dots with just 6 casual words.
"Sigh… It's not much of an issue, just a few of my personality traits are a bit jumbled that's all. I'll just need to meditate for a few weeks to stabilize my situation and I should be fine, but if you truly want to help then try keeping the problems and/or conflicts to a minimum."
"I see. I'll do my best and don't worry! No problems will arise with me here! On a side note, do you want to go for a walk with me and Vulcan today seeing as you're not going to be training or cultivating?"
Mira thought for a few seconds before ultimately agreeing.
"Sure. I don't mind."
"YES!! FINALLY!! Cough cough… I mean, I'm thrilled that we are going to be spending the day together. Wait right here, let me get changed!"
Mira didn't say anything and just sat down to wait for Maria.
A few minutes later, Maria came out in a stunningly beautiful bright red dress with a golden phoenix embroidered on the back of it. The dress accentuated her assets almost perfectly and matched her golden blond hair. She walked in front of Mira, did a couple of spins, and finished in a sexy pose before asking Mira's opinion.
"So? How do I look? Great, right? But I do have to say that the phoenix on the back barely resembles the real thing. Maybe we should have Elenei come out and pose for the clothing designers so we can get a properly embroidered Phoenix! Hehe~ Come out here Little Elle! Big Sis has a favor to ask of my beautiful, majestic, and fluffy Lil Sis!"
Mira and Elenei were speechless at Maria's shamelessness. Did she not know that Elenei could hear her or is she just doing this on purpose?
"Who the hell is your Little Sister?! I'm dozens of times older than you and you still claim to be my Big Sis? Also, I will never accept a sister as stupid and shamless as you! And don't call me 'Little Elle'!"
"Awww~ Don't be shy Little Elle~ I'm sure you'll be a great model! C-C-Could it be you don't like your Big Sister? Sniff… I just wanted to have your beautiful form embroidered on my dress so I can show off to the world how awesome my Little Sister is… Sniff… Sniff… I just didn't know you hated me so much. I'm sorry if I ever did something that caused you to not like me."
At this point, Mira and Elenei seriously wondered if Maria has some sort of brain damage or mental disability from all the beatings she's taken over the years. They didn't even think a person could be this shameless and annoying! She even started creating fake tears, for crying out loud!
Elenei finally couldn't take it anymore and came out of Mira's Soul Sea.
"Fuck you! I will not have my pride as a Phoenix shamed by lowering myself to being a mere model so you can have prettier clothes! It seems Mira hasn't given you enough beatings so I'll be the one to discipline this naughty mouth today!"
Elenei then appeared behind Maria and started spanking her bottom and didn't stop until her ass was twice as big from the swelling. Mira watched all of this happen from the side with a small smile on her face.
