Chapter 365 - The Golden Fruit
"Should we go for some sightseeing here?" The husband proposed.
Although the chaos had descended, the husband knew that a lot of people had things under their control. The world wasn't only about fighting and learning concepts, so Kyoya thought about visiting some kingdoms and trying their restaurants.
He also would visit clothing stores and all other fun stuff that wouldn't be possible due to this special inheritance.
It was a floor that the husband couldn't visit naturally after all. It would be a pity if he just turned heels and went back to one of the ascended kingdoms.
Xiaoxiao liked that idea, "We can go around and sightsee!" Akaro and Yesfir were beauties, but their bodies were flexible too. One was a cat while the other was within the weapon! No problems should befall them on this sightseeing!
The husband chuckled, "I hope someone won't chase us because of our cute Xiaoxiao." He read her thoughts with a wide smile, causing Xiaoxiao to just run forward! She even stole the cat from the husband's head.
"You can chase us!" Xiaoxiao was quite fast, wasn't she?
The husband shrugged and chased, "I expected nothing less from you! We won't waste any time, hmm?" Their laughter filled the ice forest, then Kyoya broke the ice resistance when they were just barely outside it.
Akaro also played along and made Xiaoxiao get caught straight into the husband's charming embrace.
The party had spent a few days in one of the kingdoms whose situation was stabilized. Commoners could live peacefully again, but not every business could return as if nothing happened.
Fortunately for the husband, the clothing shops and restaurants were opened! Those were his primary goals! He and Xiaoxiao had a lot of great time here, then Akaro and Yesfir joined them in the private rooms in the restaurants.
One of the waitresses spotted Akaro and Yesfir, but that was solely because both of them had ordered too much food!
The commotion rang out and some bad people greedily wanted to reach out their hands for these two, but the traces of the husband's party were what they could only see! Those traces were emptied plates...
-
And just like that, the husband and his lovely ladies returned to the Naranaska Ascended Kingdom.
"You can never underestimate horny people," The husband scratched the back of his head as he recalled how fast he was forced to eat stuff just to not waste any money they had spent on the higher floor.
Xiaxiao laughed and patted his shoulder, "I think we are in a soft spot. If you want to sleep, I will be your pillow." She proposed sweetly and the husband didn't refuse. They just needed to find a house.
Since the elven forests were good acquaintances because of Fusia and the husband's visit to the elven queen, Kyoya and Xiaoxiao had to be worried about Moon and Sun Elves that wanted a hybrid concept.
This proved to be needless thought as things processed at a fair and safe pace.
Soon enough, Hiro left one of elven forest's houses and guided them to Fusia's house that would become their current lodging. He spoke to them with a slightly suspicious tone, "Welcome back, but didn't you return too fast? Was the inheritance... a failure?"
"Nope. This inheritance was prepared for us and we got abundant rewards, so prepare yourself." Kyoya replied with both a jesting and teasing tone.
Hiro waved his hand, "Haha! What can it be? Don't tell me you got the mesmerizing beauty?" The hero laughed uncontrollably, but he soon faced the husband and Xiaoxiao with serious faces.
Just by looking at them, he could see that his joke hit the truth, "No way... Where is she?" Was this beauty possibly someone like Akaro? A lady who could stay by his side and become part of his strength at will?
With the husband's aura, it often felt like he eventually would get covered by them from top to bottom! But now, it felt like this saying would turn into reality in literal meaning. The equipment made out of... particular life forms that could take the form of women!
Hiro whispered, "That's just too much fantasy, brother." Both Kyoya and Xiaoxiao could hear him. While the latter just chuckled, Kyoya nodded as this thought wasn't something he would be in favor of.
After all, if the weapon broke, the lady would get hurt more. There was also a chance that she would lose her life together with the weapon's disappearance and that alone brought worry to the husband's heart.
He believed in the divine weapon from the divine blacksmith, so Yesfir wasn't the target of his worry! It was Rosa whose time was probably still in the far future! It would take some time before the husband could just rush at her family!
He also wanted to awaken her... and ask for her opinion.
What would Rosa choose? Would she choose her family's extermination to return to the world? Or would she be content with her soul form and the lightning sword in the husband's hand? Thus, he wanted to ask now that the opportunity had arrived...
"How is Fusia and her race?" Kyoya decided to change the topic.
He asked about the forest elves... They had it the worst as their concepts became secondary for other elves. Even if there was a mask of the 'hybrid', all other elves had treated it as a secondary concept.
At best, it would be a secondary main concept. At worst, the other elves treated this concept as an additional measly boost to their future...
It was that painful for the forest elves. They had beauty, rich nature and naturally high self-esteem. The other elves were unique and just as beautiful, but their strength was at least one or two levels higher.
Thus, they could only harbor their feelings deep within their hearts.
"They are looked down upon by many elves, but their palace and most important lands haven't been taken... yet. I believe other elves will try to completely take control over the forest elves after they get hold of their chaos here." Hiro answered.
"This is the Ascended Kingdom, so we have to expect the chaos to be different," Kyoya replied. He then turned his eyes to the hero and asked, "What exactly is going on in the Naranaska Kingdom? They have a lot of races, so..."
"It's the battle against the main craving," Hiro explained.
The main craving meant the desire that satisfied or completed the races' lives. For example, Hiro spoke about bunnies. The bunnies were a race that loved intercourse and most of them would shamelessly find partners after reaching the age of eighteen.
Finding partners wasn't anything bad, but 90% of that desire was filled with a hope to just have some fun with each other.
Both male and female bunnies were like that.
Kyoya got reminded about their open hearts and how all of them threw themselves to grasp him. The husband's aura... was their enemy! Arguably, the husband's aura also could be called the acme of their craving!
Such a man... desired by the whole race naturally could take such a spot.
Didn't the patriarch personally ask him to leave the tribe?
"The chaos here is that there are a lot of manifestations born with that craving... It's similar to what is happening on the ascended floor where our wives are at... Those manifestations have something like concepts within and by killing them, you probably can find... some path to the hybrid..." Hiro added.
"You can't reach hybrids that easily, but it's one of the most feasible paths..." Xiaoxiao said. She was silent all this time, but once she chimed in, her voice guided Hiro to speak about another important matter.
Hiro began with that, "The Forest Elves want to beat those manifestations and find a new path, a new concept and sever ties with other elves... But opposite to that, the moon and sun elves want to spread their influence and they do it in the shadows before this chaos calms down."
He then added, "The other thing that The Forest Elves want is the golden fruit. This is a special fruit that appears on their original floor. For this fruit to manifest itself, the elves need to spend many resources and time, but they want to speed up the process."
"Golden Fruit? Sounds tasty. What does it do?" The husband joked to ease up the atmosphere. He then asked about the golden fruit's power!
"The Golden Fruit is not exclusive to their race. Every race that comes from the original floor can try to manifest it... By manifesting it, you can get more attention from the god and their help. It's like an instant reward for working hard, you know?" Hiro's words made sense.
In Xiaoxiao's case, she had a close talk with the goddess because she managed to get power from the husband!
The husband's origins... were just outstanding and scary, so she got her audience with The Goddess Fiana.
Other races in the world pillar had to work harder for it! However, couldn't Kyoya help here? Actually, the husband believed he could help in both cases!
