Age of Ascension: Forging an Immortal Realm from Nothing

vol. 2 chapter 12 - Expanding the Territory! (2/5)


Beautiful things, beautiful experiences… they always leave you wanting to savor the memory.Wu °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° Chi was quietly enjoying this rare moment of peace.It should have been around six or seven in the morning, but the world outside was still shrouded in darkness. The warm, yellow lamplight filled the bedroom with an ancient, classical charm.And to think… the gift Lin Daiyu wanted to give him was herself!He had to admit… it was a fucking fantastic gift!Wu Chi let out a dopey, happy chuckle. The memories of last night flashed through his mind, and a joyful hum escaped his lips."Hehehe!"He was just laughing foolishly to himself.Perhaps the sound was a bit too loud, because it woke Lin Daiyu. She blinked her eyes, still heavy with sleep. Two faint tear tracks were still visible on her beautiful cheeks."Young Master…" She became fully awake, her face flushing a delicate red. She quickly sat up, her messy hair tumbling down her back. Below her pale neck, one side of her graceful, jade-like body was exposed to the air."Not going to sleep a little longer?" Wu Chi smiled, admiring his beauty's figure with complete and utter satisfaction."It's all your fault, Young Master. This servant doesn't want to get up today. It's not like there's a battle to fight…" Lin Daiyu, for the first time, sounded like she was pouting. She wrapped her arms around Wu Chi's neck, her cheek resting on his shoulder, a look of pure contentment on her face."Alright, alright! My good Daiyu, you can lie here all day, and I'll do whatever you want!" Wu Chi wrapped a loving arm around her slender waist, his eyes full of mirth.Sister Lin pursed her lips and gave him a look, then suddenly burst into a giggle, her beauty blossoming in the dim light.Seeing her suddenly so happy, Wu Chi was a little confused. "What's so funny?""Young Master!" Lin Daiyu's big eyes blinked at him.Wu Chi: "Hm?""Yoooung Master~!" she called out again, dragging out the words.Wu Chi's face darkened in mock annoyance. "This again? I'm right here, what's with all the calling?""Could it be that the Young Master is tired of this servant?" Sister Lin's face suddenly fell into an expression of sorrow. "It is to be expected," she whispered. "Now that you have had me, it is only natural that you would grow weary!""Hey!" Wu Chi was shocked and about to launch into an explanation when he noticed the slight upward curl at the corner of her lips.This girl… she was acting again!"Oh, stop it, you!" Wu Chi rolled his eyes. "Are you hungry? I'll go get you some breakfast.""Not hungry!" Sister Lin shook her head, then reached out a finger to poke his cheek. Seemingly finding it fun, she playfully pinched his nose, then his face.This mischievous, lively demeanor was a world away from the gentle, intellectual Sister Lin he was used to. But when he thought about it, at her age, it was only natural for her to be a bit more vivacious. In her previous life, always crying and fretting over every little thing—that was what was truly abnormal!At that thought, Wu Chi's heart softened, and he let her continue her games.Just then!The door was suddenly pushed open. Qin Keqing walked in, carrying a tray. "Young Master, are you awake? I brought some steamed buns…"She was only halfway through the door, and halfway through her sentence, when she froze, staring dumbfounded at the scene before her.Since she had often brought him breakfast over the past few days, Wu Chi had given her permission to enter his room directly. He never expected…"I-I'm sorry!" Qin Keqing could barely get the words out. Her face was bright red, her eyes filled with embarrassment, and a faint, bitter taste bloomed in her heart."Young Master… where should I put the breakfast?" she asked softly, her beautiful face carrying a faintly reproachful look.Her gaze made Wu Chi's heart skip a beat. For some reason, he felt a little guilty. "Uh, just give it to me.""Mm!"Qin Keqing glided forward, her white dress purer than snow. In the yellow light, her slender figure seemed even more enchanting. She handed the tray to Wu Chi, then gracefully excused herself.Thump!The door closed. Wu Chi let out a sigh of relief.But Sister Lin just giggled. "What is the Young Master afraid of?""Afraid of what? Me? Afraid?" Wu Chi was quick to deny it."Hmmm~?" The beauty hummed through her nose, her eyes fixed on him.Wu Chi gulped and quickly grabbed a bun. "Let's eat breakfast!""Okay, but this servant has no strength." Lin Daiyu draped herself over him, a look of utter dependency on her face.You, a person with over a thousand points in Constitution, have no strength?Wu Chi's eye twitched. He really wanted to say that out loud, but he wasn't that clueless. He rolled his eyes again and began tearing off small pieces of the bun to feed her.It was a completely unnecessary act, but Sister Lin savored every bite, looking absolutely delighted.Soon, they had finished all the buns on the tray.Lin Daiyu grabbed the tray, tossed it onto the floor, and looked at him, her face full of a bewitching charm."Young Master, what's the latest you can stay?""Midnight tonight!" Wu Chi answered.Sister Lin smiled dazzlingly. "Then… will you spend all that time with me?""Doing what?" Wu Chi's eyes widened.He got his answer when the beauty sat up, revealing her body like a flawless white jade statue.…Out in the territory, as time passed, the buildings were repaired one by one. The cracked earth was mended, the walls were restored, and the defensive towers stood tall once again!From the [Hall of Valor], a procession of beautiful, well-built women emerged, some heroic, some cute. The terror of last night was still fresh in their minds, but the fact that they could be revived meant their fear was largely gone.At noon.After the women had finished their lunch, Qin Keqing came out of Wu Chi's room, holding the [Territory Expansion Order]!Seeing her unhappy expression, Jia Yingchun asked curiously, "Sister Keqing, what is it?""It's nothing. The Young Master just gave me a task," Qin Keqing changed the subject, waving the token in her hand.Territory Expansion OrderType: ItemQuality: NoneLevel: 1Function: Increases territory area by 10,000 to 50,000 square meters.Description: A special award for one with a strong will. A powerful lord must have a powerful will!This was one of the rewards from yesterday's battle, a special bonus, it seemed, for Wu Chi managing to break free for that crucial 0.1 second! The effect of the item was incredible. Even the worst-case scenario, 10,000 square meters, would double the size of his territory!"Yingchun, you do it!" Qin Keqing smiled and handed the token over.Jia Yingchun took it, looked it over, and then decisively used it.In the next moment, the token exploded with light that shot out in all directions!RUMBLE—! RUMBLE—!The ground shook for a few moments, then fell still. The surrounding fog and darkness had been pushed back a significant distance!Qin Keqing climbed to a high vantage point to survey the changes, quickly getting her bearings."Using the Young Master's calculation method, this should now be… 60,000 square meters!""Little Chun, you really are the Young Master's lucky star! You got the best possible outcome right away!" Qin Keqing said in amazement.Jia Yingchun's face immediately turned beet red. She pursed her lips, looking utterly exasperated.
