Haru awoke to his head throbbing like it had never done before. As he opened his eyes he immediately squinted in pain as the light made his headache. He turned over to his front and buried his head into his pillow.
"Ugh" He let out a muffled groan from the pain that last night's drinking had caused for him. It felt as if his brain was about to drop out of his skull and he rolled over slightly on the bed. It was like nothing he had ever felt.
But as he rolled he felt the sensation of something both soft yet firm next to him.
'What was that?' He thought to himself before slowly opening his eyes. But as he did he jumped back in fear and fell backwards over the side of the bed.
"Shit!" He said to himself just before his head hit the floor. He then opened his eyes once again and looked up at the bed to see that Ruella was laying on the other side. She was still sleeping but for some reason, she had no clothes on at all.
'No! What the fuck? I didn't do "that" did I? This is bad. This is so bad. She is probably going to kill me when she wakes up.' Haru thought to himself before looking down and seeing that he was still fully clothed.
He let out a sigh.
"Ahh… Thank god. I thought that I might have…" He said in relief. There was no sign that he had tried to take off his clothes so he ruled out the thought that he might have done something terrible. But the question still remained.
'Why did she sleep next to me? And why is she naked?' Haru asked himself. He didn't completely remember what had happened the night before but he didn't feel like he became close enough to her for her to feel comfortable sleeping next to him.
And he definitely didn't feel comfortable sleeping next to her. The whole situation was strange but his answers would soon be answered when a quiet moan pushed its way from Ruella's mouth and she stretched her arms up above her head.
As she did so, the blanket slipped down a little so Haru looked away out of fear of instant death if he saw anything.
"Good morning…" Haru said awkwardly before standing up and looking out of the window that was next to the bed as if he had been doing that all along.
"You're awake? I was convinced that you would never wake up. You sleep like a baby. You reminded me of my son when he was young." Ruella let out a little giggle before the bed started to creak as she stood up followed by footsteps as she walked over to Haru's side.
"Are you looking at anything interesting?" She whispered into his ear.
"Hm, Not really. I just didn't want to look at you like that." Haru sighed and continued looking straight ahead, not daring to peak back at her.
"Like what?" Ruella asked and then took a few steps back. Haru felt more of an urge to turn around for some reason but he stayed strong and kept facing the window.
"I am wearing clothes you know. Did you think that I would fall asleep next to you while completely naked?" Ruella laughed.
'She's wearing clothes? But I could have sworn?' Haru thought before turning around. But as he did he realised that he didn't make a mistake. She was in fact still naked. He quickly covered his eyes and then turned back around.
"Ha, Tricked you. Your reaction was so cute. But you shouldn't get so excited over a granny like me." She said playfully. Haru kept his eyes closed but after a few moments, he began to hear the sounds of rustling fabric as she put her clothes back on.
"Okay then, No more tricks. I have my clothes on now." She announced. But Haru was still a little hesitant. He turned slowly with his hands still over his eyes before peaking to make sure that she was telling the truth. After seeing that she had clothes on he removed his hands and sighed.
"Why did you do that? Why did you even sleep next to me?" Haru asked. He felt outraged by what just happened. He didn't know her and also felt like he was betraying Suyin's trust by what had just happened.
"Well… I guess it's just been a while since anyone has looked at me like I was a woman and not just an old lady." Ruella said with a sad smile on her face. Haru looked at her with pity for a moment before deciding that it was probably for the best that he didn't make a big deal out of it...
The last thing he wanted was an emotionally unstable nascent soul stage cultivator walking around the city. That was just a recipe for disaster.
"Just don't do that again, please. It doesn't make me happy to wake up and find women sleeping in my bed. I have a girlfriend and I don't want to hurt her. So if you need to in future just let me sleep on the couch or the floor." Haru insisted. He figured that it would probably be best to be upfront with her and that seemed to work as she took interest in his words.
"You have a girlfriend? Is she pretty? Let me see her." Ruella insisted. She started to tug on Haru's arm and demanded that he show her pictures of his girlfriend.
"Fine, Just hold on a second." Haru sighed and then pulled out his phone and opened the album where Suyin stored all of the pictures they had together. He then handed it to Ruella.
Ruella stood still and stared at the photos for a moment. She then brought it closer to her face.
"Wow, she's really pretty. But I feel like I have seen her before." Ruella said quietly.
"Well, you have," Haru said and then pointed to the billboard that was on the opposite side of the street. On the billboard, there was an advertisement for Suyin's album that was going to release soon.
"Wait, She's that famous singer? I heard her songs once when one of the younger disciples was dancing around her room until midnight. That's pretty amazing. But now you have to give me all of the details. Like how did you two meet and tell me how far you have gone." Ruella said like a perverted old man with a huge grin on her face.
"Fine, I will tell you while I eat. My stomach feels awful." Haru said.
"Haha, Did the alcohol affect you that much? Okay then let's go." Ruella laughed at him and then they both walked down to the banquet hall where the staff had prepared food for the guests like they had been instructed to. Haru then spoke with Ruella about how he had met Suyin and told her stories about his life in Shenzhen.
She listened to his stories until they were completed and then asked questions of her own all the way until Major Niu and The muscular man walked in the hall. Major Niu was struggling to walk and the muscular man was supporting her weight by lending her his arm to hold on to.
They looked over and saw both Haru and Ruella talking before making their way over and joining them.
"What was in that drink that you gave us? I have been throwing up all morning. Not to mention dealing with this mess." The muscular man said and then pointed at Major Niu who was struggling to stay upright while she was sitting.
"Shut up Jiang you big oaf. I won't be spoken to like that. You are lucky that I don't!" Major Niu was about to say before stopping herself mid-sentence and holding her hand over her mouth as her face quickly turned pale.
"Open wide." The voice of an old woman called out before suddenly Major Niu's mouth was forced open and a green leaf was placed on her tongue.
"Ruella, What do I have to tell you about giving that stuff to the people of earth? You know it's too strong for them." The old woman said again. Haru looked up to see a familiar face. It was Sect Master Shen's wife that he had met when he last visited the sect.
"Cecilia! What are you doing here? You didn't come with Shen so I thought that you might be staying back at the sect." Ruella seemed excited by the presence of Shen's wife. It seemed like they were pretty close. But the look on Cecilia's face contradicted that fact.
"Don't you Cecilia me you little Minx. You almost ripped our sect apart with that little stunt you performed the last time I saw you." Cecilia said with a stern look but couldn't hide her smile. She was also happy to see her even though she tried to hide it.
"I was going to stay at the sect to look after the kids but I had Shen called me here because he left his sword at home. I'm just here to drop it off for him." Cecilia explained to Ruella before she got up from her seat and hugged her.
"Sorry Haru, Do you mind if I-" Ruella asked. She felt like she had to protect him out of duty but she was so excited by Cecilia appearing that she had to go and catch up with her.
"It's fine, I need to prepare for my speech later anyway. You go and do your own thing. I doubt I will run into any harm here." Haru laughed slightly before finishing his breakfast and talking with General Jiang and Major Niu a bit more. After he had finished talking to them he decided to go back to his office to prepare a speech. He needed to explain what was happening and inspire everyone to fight.
