Chapter 308: Back to the sect

Alexandra woke up after a few hours, only to see Lith looking at her with a smile.

She smiled back and said, "darling..."

Lith patted her back and asked, "slept well?"

"Mhm." Alexandra hugged Lith and hummed while nodding her head.

"It's time to go back to the sect now." Lith said to Alexandra.

Hearing that, Alexandra hugged Lith tighter and snuggled closer to him, as if afraid she would lose him as well.

Lith smiled and caressed her hair. He knew what she was thinking of and why she did such actions. Alexandra was very strong mentally and physically but traumas are hard to be forgotten and get over with. The trauma of her losing her parents was still with her and she didn't want to lose Lith right now as well. For this, she hugged me tight to ensure he didn't go anywhere.

Lith looked at Alexandra and softly called out, "Alexandra."

"Hmm?" Alexandra hummed while snuggling in Lith's embrace.

"I am not going anywhere and I won't leave you alone either." Lith said gently.

Alexandra didn't reply and simply snuggled quietly.

"You have a goal to achieve right? To become strong enough to protect yourself and your family? And also to take your revenge?" Lith reminded her.

Crack!

Alexandra closed her palms to form a fist and she pressed it so hard that her nails dug into her palm and the bones in her arm cracked.

Lith had just touched her weak spot and whenever she remembered about Count Valentine, she would lose her temper.

Lith kissed her forehead and caressing her hair, he said, "I can understand your pain. But there's no need to harm yourself for it. Come, let's go back to the sect. We've got many things to do."

Alexandra looked at Lith when he said that. Her eyes were moist and she seemed as if she would cry at any moment.

Looking Lith in the eyes, Alexandra said emotionally, "y-you won't l-leave me, r-right?"

Lith smiled and said gently, "I'll never leave you."

Alexandra raised her pinky and asked, "promise?"

Lith was surprised watching such a reaction from her. Was she really the same badass lady from yesterday? Or was she just a little girl disguised as a badass lady?

In any case, Lith held her pinky with his own and said to her with the same expression as before, "promise."

Alexandra flashed a small smile hearing that and hugged Lith again.

They stayed like that for a few minutes and teleported back to Lith's room in the sect.

After coming back into the room, Lith said to Alexandra, "go practice and cultivate hard. I also have work to do. When you're done with your training and it's nighttime, you can come to my room. We'll sleep together, okay?"

Alexandra nodded her head. "Okay. Bye-bye, darling~"

Alexandra waved her hand and left after saying her goodbyes.

"Bye, dear." Lith waved back and said with a smile.

After Alexandra left, Lith continued to practice the 35th Ancient Sword Strike. He was still at the beginner level and it would take time to master this technique.

A good thing about this technique was the fact that it could be used even if he ranked up. This meant that the higher his rank, the higher the damage done would be.

A good technique indeed.

Lith continued to practice it to have a mastery over it. A few hours passed and it was nighttime.

Alexandra came to Lith's room with a tray full of food. They chatted about how their training was over food and finally when they were done, they slept together.

Lith didn't do anything naughty with Alexandra yet as he didn't want to disturb her training regime.

Just having her drink his blood made her have a very exaggerated reaction and Lith had no idea what would happen if she were to do it with him. Thus, to be safe, Lith decided to take things slowly. He didn't want to harm her and was thinking in her best interest.

A week passed.

Lith and Alexandra repeated the same thing all week. Lith trained in the training room attached to his room and after he was done, he would meditate and try to raise his cultivation. Alexandra would visit him every night and they would sleep together.

Lith felt that he should take a break and so he decided to go on a stroll outside in the sect.

As he kept strolling, he reached the outer court of the sect and over there, he saw many churches present and the disciples were coming in and going out of them.

'A place of worship in a cultivation sect? Weird.' Lith thought and decided to check why there was a church present in the sect.

But just as he walked a few steps, he saw an elder of the sect walk towards him. The elder greeted Lith and asked,

"Sir Ray, are you perhaps taking a stroll?"

Lith nodded. Out of curiosity, he asked the elder, "by the way, why are there churches here? As far as I know, a sect shouldn't have such places of worship as their goal is to reach the apex of cultivation, right?"

The elder nodded and said, "sir is right. But here in our sect, we are open about everything. Some disciples, mainly the angels and demons, they derive their power through worship and since that helps in improving their cultivation, we just let the churches be present and let the disciples worship."

'So in the end, the churches are here because it helps in improving cultivation. I see.' Lith thought to himself. He nodded hearing the elder's words and said, "thank you for time. I'll continue with my stroll here, if you don't mind."

The elder bowed, cupped his fist, and said with a light chuckle, "Sir Ray is too polite. This elder shall take his leave then."

Lith strolled through the area where the churches were and walking for a few minutes, he finally stopped when he was in front of the Light Church.

'Oh, Light Church. Well... Now that I am here... Why not just... Hehe.' Lith suddenly had an idea and he walked inside the Light Church.
