Spirit Cultivation-Chapter 542 Poor Drakos

"Oh, I finally get it!" Bella exclaimed as she listened to the girl's explanation. "So it's not a weakness but actually a human reproductive system? That's actually interesting."

"Yes, exactly. Also, you can't go out naked. You have to always wear clothes, okay?" Yiren reminded sternly, holding Bella by the shoulders as if she was her little sister.

"But I was always naked. What's the problem with being naked?" Bella asked confused, tilting her head.

Yiren lent Bella her own dress which matched her perfectly, wrapping around her curves.

"Let's say that there are many guys who will lust over your body if you show too much. That's why you wear clothes to protect yourself. If you don't, you will be targeted by old men who want to assault you and exploit your body," Yiren explained.

"I'm not scared. If they want to fight I will burn them to ashes," Bella replied confidently.

"I don't deny that but it's still better to keep your body private. It's something only your lover should see. Just listen to us and you will be fine," Yiren assured and the rest confirmed.

They were all gathered inside their bedroom while the boys were left outside for obvious reasons.

"Didn't you see how Xuefeng and Drakos reacted? It's really dangerous to be naked outside, especially in the Heaven Realm. You will be like a sun, gathering attention from everyone," Nuwa added. "It's for your safety."

"Us Phoenixes live the life of solitude but I understand," Bella finally nodded, no longer arguing. "I will wear your clothes. They are comfy anyway. I can get used to them. Please take care of me. I still have a lot to learn if I want to live within humans."

The girls finally sighed in relief.

"We shouldn't let her roam free once we leave this Hidden Realm else someone will scam her," Tianshi proposed and reminded, "Remember you can't talk to strangers. You should always stay with us once we go outside."

"Okay~" Bella replied sweetly, showing a rare smile.

'We should also keep Bella away from Xuefeng,' Xiao Wen proposed in their channel and they all agreed. "Yes."

Only then did they all leave outside to the garden and saw Xuefeng talking with Drakos.

"We explained everything to her. She won't make the same mistake again," Yiren called out as she presented Bella while holding her hand.

"I didn't know the rules in the human world were this complicated," Bella shrugged, not really remorseful about her mistake.

"Don't worry, as long as you understand now," Xuefeng replied with a bitter smile, scratching himself on the head. "I really didn't want to see anything. You caught us by surprise."

"I don't really care about that. Don't worry," Bella assured and glared at Drakos, pointing at him with her slim finger. "You! Do you remember your promise?"

"Ehem, of course, I do. How could I forget?" Drakos replied, sounding embarrassed.

He looked away, avoiding her gaze.

"You promised to help me speed up my cultivation once I reach Celestial Stage," Bella repeated. "I can see that your method is working well so I believe you. What do I have to do?"

"Wait…" Drakos froze. "You want to do it immediately? Don't you want to enjoy your human body for a while at least? At least until we reach the Heaven Realm."

"Why would I do that?" Bella questioned while squinting her eyes. "I don't care about that at all. I want to start as soon as possible. You grew so fast in just a year and a half. If I try now, I will just need a few years to regain my power back and even more."

"Huh? You know how much Fate Stones is required to achieve it?" Xuefeng asked confused and gazed at Drakos. "Did you tell her?"

Drakos couldn't reply as Bella was first.

"He didn't tell me a specific number and only said that as long we have enough resources its possible. He also mentioned the mine underneath the mountain."

"He didn't go down for one year already. I'm sure he already cleaned the whole mine and absorbed everything," Xuefeng replied.

"What?!" Bella exclaimed, her palms suddenly bursting with flames. "So you dared to lie to me?!"

"Hey! I didn't lie! As long as we have enough Fate Stones, I can help you! It's just I don't even have enough for myself, not to mention repeating the whole process with you," Drakos defended himself only to dodge the fireball flying in his direction.

"So you can't help me! You lied!" Bella called out angrily, even though she only looked cute rather than scary. "I will kill you!"

"Wait! I promised I will help you so I will! I know a place with many Fate Stones!" Drakos cried out, dodging multiple attacks and eventually running away, not even trying to retaliate.

"Liar! I don't believe you anymore! You could have said so earlier!" Bella called out, chasing after him. "Come and fight me! You wanted to challenge me before, why are you running?!"

Drakos and Bella ran away but they didn't even try to help him. It was clear Drakos had a lot more counter play as a dragon than Bella. She was still clumsy, only recently changing.

"Poor Drakos. He dropped his thoughts of getting revenge on her the moment he saw her. I think he fell for her," Xuefeng commented casually but that created a chaos in the lady's minds.

"What?! Drakos fell for Bella? How?"

Xuefeng got quickly surrounded as the girls entered into gossiping mode.

"Yeah, he was like frozen when you left with Bella. I had to slap him to wake him up. I thought he would prefer some female dragons but he is surprisingly attracted to humanoid beasts instead," Xuefeng explained amused. "Can they even be together?"

"Oof! Thats… unbelievable."

"Well, look for yourself," Xuefeng shrugged, pointing with his gaze at Bella who was dragging Drakos back. The poor Drakos was held by one of his horns.

"I decided to spare him for now. We will visit the Heaven Realm and check this 'stash' he was talking about. If he lied again, this will end badly," Bella announced.

"I didn't lie. It's true!" Drakos called out only to have his neck twisted as if punishment for speaking out.

"Shush, you already said your piece," Bella silenced him and to everyone's surprise, Drakos didn't argue, replying obediently, "Yes…"

"I think I can see it…" Wuying muttered as she stared at the two and others nodded.

"See what?" Bella asked curiously.

"Oh, its nothing. Don't worry."
