Legendary Soul Art

"Since when are you an Alchemist?" Nami interrogated as she began washing Number One's back. "Did your Master teach you?"

"It wasn't my Master directly but I managed to gain knowledge through him," Number One corrected as he enjoyed the cold stream of water. "I didn't put that knowledge into practice yet but I will see what I can do."

Number One didn't really lie since he did get the heavenly space by stealing from his Master and he didn't make any pills in real life. Nami would find it too hard to believe if he claimed to know hundreds of recipes together with thousands of various Soul Herbs.

"I see…" Nami muttered as if she was troubled with something and suddenly stepped in front of Number One to look at him directly. "I missed you… I have been craving your touch every day since you left..."

Nami didn't give Number One a chance to reject her and held his member while pulling on his head to kiss him. Her feelings were to be expected but it wasn't the best time for him. He couldn't think about anything else but food and getting naughty in such a state would only worsen their experience.

"Nami…" Number One spoke her name as he was about to stop her but Nami's next words caused him to pause.

"Don't push me away… I am already at my limits. You don't realize how much I was holding back all those days," Nami informed with her breathing quickened. "Did you forget how the Heavenly Feathers affect me? Every minute I was thinking of stripping you naked and riding you until I am fully satisfied. I didn't do it. I waited because I respect you and wanted you to enjoy it as well."

Nami stroked him while looking up and pleaded, "Please? Can I have just a moment of your time? Spoil your baby a little before you leave to save a damsel in distress."

Number One couldn't bring himself to reject her request but she raised a concern he needed to address. He grasped her neck gently while sliding his hand between her legs and teased, "Are you feeling jealous?"

"Ahh…" Nami moaned with her mouth open and shook her head. "I don't know what you are talking about."

Number One only smirked and pushed two fingers through her wet entrance. Her body immediately trembled as he began rubbing her insides and her voice got stuck in her throat.

"You are not being honest with me," Number One commented while depriving her of kisses. "I will stop if you don't tell me the truth."

"No, don't stop!" Nami called out with horror in her eyes and spilled out her thoughts. "I was wondering why you are helping Luna. She is your competition and even injured you."

Number One raised his eyebrows. "I see. So you don't want me to help her because you found out she hurt me."

"Mhmm, anyone who hurts you is my enemy," Nami admitted just before her eyes rolled up from excess pleasure. She grasped onto Number One's arm for support as she was already reaching orgasm from his fingers alone.

"Whatever happened between me and Luna wasn't entirely her fault. She has an explosive character and I was provoking her," Number One explained while proceeding with another round. "I'm helping her because it doesn't hurt to collect favors from promising talents. Her background is quite deep as her parents know the Headmaster so she is not out of the race. She will recover even without me so I might as well claim this debt for myself."

Nami only nodded in understanding as her moans prevented her from speaking. Number One smiled gently and continued to torture her insides until she begged him to give her a break.

"Wait…" Nami muttered weakly as Number One carried her out of the shower. "I want you to feel good too…"

"I am good for now," Number One replied casually while sitting her on the bed. "I might be fighting later so it's best to preserve my energy."

Number One began wiping Nami's body to show similar care as she did to him and whispered, "I won't spare you at night though. We will Dual-cultivate again and this time we can do it properly."

Nami blushed at his words and admitted with a genuine smile. "I love you."

"What a coincidence, I love myself too," Number One said back without hesitation which earned him a soft slap on the leg. Nami pouted but he could only kiss her to appease her frustration.

Love was a strong word that Number One would never use unless he was certain of his feelings. He enjoyed Nami's company and would be sad if she left but was that love? He had no idea what love even was so he could only wait until he found out.

"I hope those main Academy students didn't try to hurt you?" Number One questioned as they finally gathered themselves to leave.

"Oh, they wouldn't dare," Nami shook her head. "I already visited the main Academy so they know about me. They are too scared of my sister to offend me."

She held his arm and added, "I'm sure they wouldn't even touch you if they see you this close with me."

"That's fine, you don't need to stop them," Number One rejected the offer. "I claimed the name of Number One knowing I will be challenged. How can I aim to be the best Soul Artist in the Inner World if I'm hiding behind someone else?"

"I didn't expect anything else," Nami commented with a loving smile. "Can I at least help you with my new Soul Art?"

"Huh?" Number One looked at Nami in surprise only to see his second Heavenly Feather light up on his hand. "You learned a new Soul Art already?"

"Yup!" Nami nodded happily while hopping on her feet excitedly. "I wanted to help you more so I worked hard the past few days. You already have two offensive Soul Arts so I decided to focus on the high-ranked Movement Soul Art first. I managed to master it yesterday so you can use it freely now."

"Whoa, I'm so proud of you," Number One praised while rewarding her with a kiss. "What is it called? We can test it right away."

"It's not as great as Luna's Shadow Steps but at least you can close distance to the target and dodge any Soul Arts shot at you," Nami explained while enjoying his loving pats. "It's called Heavenly Cloud Step though it has nothing to do with clouds."

"Nice," Number One acknowledged with a nod and walked to one end of the room. He poured Soul Energy into the second feather and his legs exploded with power.

​ Swoosh!

Number One was like a soft waft of wind when he took a single step and he suddenly found himself by the door. If he didn't stop himself with his arms he would smash into it and possibly break right through.

"Be careful!" Nami warned as she rushed to his side and brightened seeing his smile. "It's cool, right?"

"This is awesome…" Number One admitted in amazement. "I feel like I'm cheating. I have a high-ranked Soul Art without even putting any effort."

"If you are cheating then what am I? My whole cultivation path is based on leeching off you," Nami pointed out with an eye roll. "We are not cheating but rather helping each other. We are partners, forgot?"

Number One pursed his lips as he pulled Nami closer and agreed with a kiss. "Happy partnership for us."
