Chapter 168: Ch 168: Date with Colinde
After two months of continuous research, Rein finally decided to go out of his room. That was not because he was done with his research but because Colinde would not be able to stay away from Rein for any longer. That was the reason why he decided to go out to meet with Colinde after two months of separation.
Rein wanted Colinde to grow up a little bit from her dependency on him. He had noticed that Colinde only had him in her eyes and no one else. So he wanted her to understand her own self by staying away from him for some time.
That did not mean Rein had not kept an eye on Colinde. He had used Himiko to continuously keep an eye on Colinde's situation. She was doing relatively well for the first month but from the second month her condition started to worsen. She became distracted and was always in a daze. Her mood also became bad and she was always angry.
That was the reason why Rein decided to go out and meet her or she might just go on a rampage. Lan was also coming with him. She was getting quite bored after staying in the same house for a long time and cultivating daily. So she was looking forward to going out and having some fun.
...
For the last few days Colinde was in a very bad mood. Last day she even beat up one of her fellow disciples who came to harass her after getting jealous of her quick progression. This was not a rare occasion as this same thing had happened many times before.
Colinde was able to easily knock them out and then ignore them. But last day she was not able to hold her anger back and ended up being a bit harsh. Colinde was not sure why she was not able to control herself anymore and she was feeling a bit down.
With these thoughts in her mind, she was going toward the Demon Slaying Division. Then suddenly her eyes were covered from behind and her body was hugged. Colinde tensed up for a moment but then realised that the touch was very familiar to her. Immediately her body relaxed and she leaned her back on the body behind her and let out a contented sigh.
Rein removed his hands from Colinde's eyes and hugged her even tightly with both of his hands. Then he landed a light kiss on her chicks. Then Rein whispered in Colinde's ears and told her to take a break from training for a day and to spend some time with him. Obviously Colinde happily agreed to this proposal.
...
After that Rein and Colinde held hands and went to a tavern where Lan was already waiting for them. After eating something with Rein and Colinde, Lan was going to meet her family where Colinde and Rein were going to go out on a date. It would actually be Colinde's first date as she had always stayed with Rein before. So she was looking forward to this new experience.
After meeting up with Rein, all the frustration that Colinde was feeling suddenly disappeared. Now her mood was better than ever. She was almost skipping her steps when both of them went out to walk around the city. As both Rein and Colinde were actually quite young there were not many lover-like things that they were able to do together.
But still Rein had researched about a few places that were very good for their date.
Colinde had not gotten many chances to visit places that were suitable for her age after awakening her skill. Rein had taken her to playgrounds a few times after leaving the house but the other children were a bit scared of her and tried to keep as much distance as possible. Colinde herself was not the friendliest of people and that made the problem even bigger.
Other than playing with the children, there were not many other options available for them in a backwater city like that. So unfortunate Rein was unable to provide Colinde with the fun and joys that only children were able to enjoy.
But that was not the case in this city. There were various amusement parks that were perfect for children of their ages to visit and Rein was hoping that Colinde would be able to enjoy them.
The parks of these places were not too advanced but still Rein and Colinde were able to have some fun just playing around. Colinde would not have been able to play with other children of her age as she was way too powerful if compared to them. She had also successfully reached the Heavenly Platform realm just a few days ago and so her strength had seen a great rise.
But obviously Rein was still able to easily keep up with her and that was the reason why both of them were able to have fun. The game that they were playing would be a life threatening game for any other kids or even for any adult who had also not reached the Heavenly Platform realm.
The method that Colinde was practicing was called the "Heavenly Demon Extermination Scripture". It was one level below the Vajra Strengthening Art that Rein was practicing but still it was the strongest technique that the demon slaying division had. So Colinde had become extremely powerful after practicing this method.
...
After both Rein and Colinde were satisfied with playing around, they went to a small park filled with flowers. It was already evening and Colinde was lying down with her head on Rein's thigs. While caressing her hair Rein gave Colinde a jade slip.
Jade slips were special tools that powerful sects used to store information instead of using books. By just putting the jade slip on one's head, a person would be able to read the things stored inside the jade slip.
With some curiosity Colinde put the jade slip on her forehead to see what was stored inside. Immediately her eyes widened in shock. Colinde was now quite knowledgeable about many things related to the cultivation world and that was the main reason why she was so surprised.
What was stored in the jade slip was a cultivation technique. But it was several times more powerful than the Heavenly Demon Extermination Scripture that Colinde was currently practicing and it was perfectly suited for her too.
After giving Colinde the cultivation technique Rein apologizes to her for not meeting her for so long. Even though Rein wanted Colinde to not be overly dependent on him, he had no intention to make her sad in any way. The main reason why Rein had not come out of his room was because he was busy optimising the new cultivation method that he just created for Colinde.
He had still not managed to create a method for his other skills but Rein prioritised Colinde as she was his lover after all.
Hearing Rein apologising, Colinde immediately stood up and hugged him. Then she also apologised for being so needy but at the same time she said that she would not be able to live away from him. Then Rein promised her that he was going to find a way for them to be together.
Just like that, those two lovebirds spent the night together.
