Cheat Cultivator's Ascension - Chapter 486 - 486: Island Development
Now returning to the present, Su Xiaotian couldn’t help but feel the gaze of this very same lady as his mind goes on to recall the previous interaction between the two of them when they were left alone, this lady seemingly recalling the scene as well given how much her own beautiful face is turning red the longer she looks at him.
Smiling at her direction as he catches her gaze, Hua Xian’er then fully avoids his gaze as she still couldn’t help but recall that moment whenever he looks at her like that, prompting her to act quite meek, an unusual opposite of how she usually is.
With some more talks with the ladies, finalizing with them the plan on how long he’s going to stay there, along with how frequent he is going to return home with the use of the Unbounded Spatial Talisman, they finally ended their chat, with some of the ladies going to their respective room, intending to cultivate themselves more for now, their drive coming from realizing the fact that as of right now, none of them are capable of even being the smallest of help to their beloved should they face any danger.
Hence despite the unwillingness to part with him, even his own mother, the clingiest among the ladies, stoned their resolve to take this short moment of separation with him with the sole intention of pushing themselves stronger for them to be able to provide help for him in the future, a thing that Su Xiaotian felt is unnecessary, yet still couldn’t help but appreciate all the same.
Before they fully vacated the living room though, each of them refused to left without one final intimate moment with the immortal-like young man, the ladies swiftly moving to left him kisses here and there, his cheeks, his lips, his forehead, and some of the more audacious ones, his younger sister to be exact, even daring to leave a mark on his neck.
With the intimate moment between them, a young man being smothered by the affection of multiple goddess-like ladies, the newest addition to their group, the alluring, purple-haired lady, ZI Yu’er, couldn’t help but just watch in disbelief wondering what sort of absurdity is this.
Despite those thoughts in her mind, she also couldn’t help but have the curiosity in her mind grow, in her head the thought of wondering just what is it that made those dignified ladies act like that in front of this immortal-like young man she is interested in, she herself unaware of the fact that this wondering of hers is something that she might be able to answer herself.
As she remains in her own mind, she eventually snapped back to reality as a gentle tug moves her from her original spot, her gaze landing on the lady in front of her, said lady one who bears a gentle, maidenly air around herself.
After snapping Zi Yu’er out of her daze, Hong Lian then subtly smiles at her before she mischievously winks at the purple-haired lady, not giving the lady any time to ask about the actions as she proceeds to walk towards her own room.
This action of Hong Lian was also followed by the ladies of the same generation as them, with both the empress-like Hua Xian’er and the valiant-looking Astaria seemingly motivating him about something before the two of them also moves towards their respective private rooms as well.
It was also the case for the mature, older ladies, yet theirs is a kind of support more subtle than the previous ones, all of them merely smiling at the younger lady before they all headed to their private rooms as well.
As for the immortal-like young man’s younger sister, the youngest in the group, she merely winks at Zi Yu’er before she rushes her steps, trying to catch up to her own mother as she moves out of the living room as well.
‘It’s good like this as well, they will be able to protect themselves better in the event that I’m not near them in a dangerous situation…’ he added in his mind as he watches the charming figures each disappearing as they return to their own, individual private room, vacating the living room of their abode making him the sole occupant of this location.
And now that only Zi Yu’er and himself remains within the confines of his and his family’s abode’s living room, Su Xiaotian felt like the beauty in front of him now felt more at ease than she was previously, a testament to that being the fact that her body is no longer as tense as it was previously, seemingly calmer and more relaxed.
“I-I’ll leave now as well…” with this image of her finally managing to relax and compose herself being completely shattered by her voice shaking all too obviously due to her own nervousness, this lady swiftly, and masterfully avoids the immortal-like young man’s grasp as she felt like he intends to talk with her now.
In fact, before she realizes this, she truly wasn’t even nervous of facing this young man that she developed quite the massive interest in, yet thinking about it for just a few moments made her realize that she wasn’t ready for anything, and even with her head time and time reminding her that she is more than likely, expecting something that won’t come just yet, she still fails to overcome the embarrassment that surprisingly washes over her entirety, a surprising manner for her to act given the kind of place she once lived on, and the way of living that the greatest expert of the force she once was a part of, exposed her to.
“I-I would also love to talk with you later, Xiaotian, I’ll go practice as well!!” Zi Yu’er said with her voice cracking a high note right in the end of her words, making her feel her shyness all the more as blood rushes through her flushed cheeks.
Now seeing the last lady in the living room also run away from himself, Su Xiaotian couldn’t help but shake his head as a helpless smile appears on his face, knowing that there won’t be any way to convince the ladies to stop their cultivation now.
Hence left with nothing else to do, feeling like deliberately cultivating right now would be nothing but a mere waste of time for him, especially since he already felt like he’s about to break through beyond the next barrier, the immortal-like young man headed out of the abode once again, opening up one of the Universal Shop System’s sub systems, stopping his search the moment that he managed to find the one he’s searching for.
[City Lord System (Lvl 1)
[Grants the user the ability to mark a place as their own territory. Within the territory, bonuses and buffs are given to the people deemed as citizens of the territory, and debuffs and restrictions are imposed upon the people allowed to enter the territory but are not citizens of it. The rights to grant citizenship is given exclusively to the City Lord (User) and the Vice-City Lords (Shared Users). All of them possesses absolute authority within the range of the territory, and whether they like it or not, even celestials will bend according to their will inside the territory]
[City Lord: Su Xiaotian]
Intending to use the authority of the City Lord System, along with the massive amount of resources that his autonomous puppet has harvested in the Auxiliary Job System’s [Spirit Mine], Su Xiaotian returned to the good place that he previously found, this one just right below the shades and around the trunk of the Intertwined World Tree that serves as the center of all the World Trees in the island.
Checking one of the City Lord System’s functions, the [Build Infrastructure] function to be exact, he nodded in satisfaction as he felt like such feature is way too convenient for the development of a place, its only drawback being the fact that while it might be automatically built by the system, it still takes time like normal construction.
[Build Infrastructure]
[Allows the City Lord and Vice City Lords (Under the City Lord’s approval) to create infrastructures that are fundamental to the city. The users are free to design how the structures will look like and what will be used as materials for constructing it and the system will automatically build it, however, the users must provide all the necessary items for the structures.]
Intending to start the development here on the ground and then shifting to the residences being held up by the World Trees if he succeeds here, the immortal-like young man starts taking out the lowest quality of ores that he managed to mine with the autonomous puppet in the [Spirit Mine] of the Auxiliary Job System.
Once the materials are taken out, he then starts with a simple design, a house of the same layout as the ones he was often seeing during his time on Earth, this nostalgic, contemporary house already starting to raise itself from the ground once he starts utilizing [Build Infrastructure] .
