"You're really leaving now? Can't you stay a few more days?"
Victor had taken care of what needed to be done here, and it was time for him to return home.
When the moment came to part ways, Tsunade looked reluctant to see him go.
She wasn't some naive little girl anymore, but having just crossed the threshold from maiden to woman, she still hoped her man could linger a while longer.
Victor waved his hand dismissively. "I've been away for several days already. Time to head back."
"If you want to see me later, just visit through the chat group. We can meet anytime."
"Okay." Tsunade nodded, watching him disappear through the dimensional portal.
After returning to his own world, Victor first spent quality time with the women at home before planning to retreat to his room for cultivation.
Just then, a thought struck him, and he opened the chat group.
[Ding! Victor sent an exclusive red envelope to Tsunade!]
[Victor: Tsunade, this is for you. If it's not enough, just ask me for more.]
[Rin Tohsaka: What the hell? Why is Victor suddenly sending red envelopes to Tsunade?]
[Shinoa: That's right! Why don't you send some to the rest of us?]
[Victor: Sure thing. As long as you become my woman, I'll give each of you a huge red envelope!]
[Bai Yuekui: Knew it.]
[Lumine: Wait, has Tsunade finally fallen too?]
[Kiana: Tsunade, you're such a cradle robber!]
[Tsunade: What are you all going on about? I'm only a few dozen years older than Victor. For cultivators with practically infinite lifespans, after tens of thousands of years pass, these few decades won't matter at all!]
[Gu Yuena: Well said!]
[Jibril: I completely agree!]
[Stelle: Hehehe! Tsunade, go on, call me Big Sister!]
[Tsunade: ...]
[Stelle: Don't be shy. You just said that after tens of thousands of years, a few dozen years of difference won't mean anything. So what's so hard about calling me sister?]
[Tsunade: ...Big Sister Stelle.]
[Stelle: Hehehe, that's more like it! The rest of you can't escape this fate either!]
[Everyone except Belle and Shinobu: ...]
[Kiana: When you beat me, I'll call you sister!]
[Stelle: Perfect! My strength has improved recently. Do you dare to spar with me?]
[Kiana: Bring it on! Who's afraid of who? I've also had some breakthroughs lately!]
[Lumine: It's on! Place your bets! Same as always!]
[Tsunade: Perfect! The pocket money my man just gave me can finally be put to good use!]
[Kiana & Stelle: You're not allowed to bet on me!]
[Tsunade: ...]
[Belle: Hahaha! Tsunade's bad luck is so notorious that even two Nascent Soul Realm masters are scared of her!]
[Tsunade: I'm just wondering, how could the bad luck of a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like me possibly affect you two?]
[Victor: Tsunade, you don't get it. It's better to believe than not to believe. People are superstitious like that.]
[Kurumi Tokisaki: What a shame. I was hoping to make a fortune from this opportunity.]
[Gu Yuena: Indeed. A gambling ring without a fat sheep has some serious drawbacks.]
[Tsunade: Damn it! You're all going too far!]
[Kikyo: So when do we start?]
[Victor: Kikyo, how did someone as pure as you develop such a bad habit?]
[Kikyo: Because I'm bored.]
[Victor: ...]
[Shinobu: Where will you two choose as your battlefield?]
[Stelle: My place, obviously.]
[Kiana: No way. Let's switch to the battle game this time! I feel like my chances of winning are much better there! Plus, the system was recently upgraded, the gaming helmets can now simulate Nascent Soul Realm cultivator strength.]
[Stelle: Ridiculous! No matter where we fight, you can't possibly beat me! A draw is your limit!]
[Kiana: Let's find out! Meet at Victor's house!]
[Stelle: Deal!]
As soon as the words left their lips, Stelle and Kiana traveled to Victor's side almost simultaneously.
Shortly after, the other women in the group began arriving one by one.
Even Tsunade temporarily set aside her work.
After all, how could work compare to watching drama unfold?
The only shame was that she couldn't participate in the betting.
Watching the women crowding around Lumine, Tsunade couldn't help but feel envious.
Damn it, why is my luck so terrible?
Soon, the bets were placed.
The split between those betting on Kiana versus Stelle was nearly even.
However, slightly more people were backing Stelle.
Mainly because Belle had chosen to stand by Stelle this time.
As Victor's woman, Belle naturally had to fully support her sister.
Everyone donned their gaming helmets and entered the virtual world.
The battlefield materialized as a void universe.
Stelle and Kiana stood facing each other with their hands behind their backs, eyes locked. Lightning seemed to crackle in the space between their gazes.
"Hey! You arrogant Herrscher of Finality! Today, I, the Star Emperor, will knock you off your high horse!"
"Hmph! Presumptuous fool! I, the Great Emperor of the End, will definitely beat your ass today!"
"The hell! You vicious woman! Are you fixated on spanking my beautiful behind? You always want to smack it!"
"That's right! So... sneak attack! Grasp the Moon!"
Kiana thrust her hand into the void. Space collapsed instantly, forming a massive spatial hand larger than Earth itself, reaching toward Stelle.
Stelle snorted coldly. "Hmph! Changing your name doesn't change what you are, still just talk!"
"Behold my Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"
Roar!
A colossal void dragon materialized, instantly shattering the giant spatial hand.
The only problem was its pair of comically beady eyes that made the otherwise majestic technique look absurdly humorous.
"I can't shake the feeling that these two aren't actually fighting, they're just playing around," Belle remarked, leaning against Victor's chest with her arms crossed, one hand cupping her chin.
Victor nodded. "Get rid of the feeling. Right now, they really are just playing."
At the moment, neither was using their full strength, just testing each other out.
Lumine asked worriedly, "Are these two planning to fix the match?"
"Not quite. They should start getting serious soon."
Just as Victor predicted, after a few probing exchanges, both Stelle and Kiana began putting real effort into the fight.
Various dazzling attacks bloomed across the void, illuminating the previously dark universe.
The aftershocks of their battle tore apart space within a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers in an instant.
"So strong!"
Jibril and Vladilena stared at the spectacle with wide eyes.
Is this what immortal cultivators are capable of?
This kind of world-shattering power could actually be wielded by individuals!
The strength of these cultivators completely redefined their understanding of what it meant to be powerful.
Vladilena was especially shocked.
Although there were supernatural abilities in her world, compared to the overwhelming might possessed by these immortal cultivators, those special powers seemed utterly insignificant.
Half an hour later, the match concluded.
As for the result? A draw, as usual.
"Damn it, another tie. It's really hard to make any extra money around here."
The women were even more frustrated about the outcome than Stelle and Kiana themselves.
