Chapter 388: Time with Ai and Lin
As Shi and I come back up the tunnels back into Gong’s area of control, we see that everyone else already has started working on their cultivation and own projects.
Ai, Lin, and Gong cultivate together, whilst occasionally stopping to practicing their techniques. When we approach, they all finish up their practice, to run over to Shi excitedly asking how it went. Shi matches their energy and starts chatting with them, telling them all about the underground area.
To my surprise, she invites everyone to come join us down there next time.
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, though. I already made it special for her by taking her there first, so she just wants to share it with others.
Man… I really got lucky with them all.
They talk for a bit more, before Ai runs up next to me to grab my hands. Jumping in place, a far cry from her usual demeanor.
“I’m next! Where are we heading to?”
I give her a huge smile, loving how much she is looking forward to this. I pull her into a hug, holding her close to me and gently rubbing her head. As I do so, I let her know where we’ll be heading next.
“Actually, I wanted you, Lin, and I to head on the date together, if you are both alright with that?”
