Chapter 38 Comforted By Orange Juice
The object was red, and had the shape of a car, except that it had no wheel, the windows were tainted black and well it gave off the vibes of a powerful beast even though it was just silently floating in the air.
Simply put, it was a beautiful hovering red sports car with no wheels, Seth had seen pictures of such cars online, but it was his first time seeing one up so close.
"Did you take it out of your space ring?" Seth asked, as he moved to the car and ran his fingers over its beautiful frame.
"Yes I did" rose replied
"I see, so are we just going to leave this burning here," Seth asked as he looked at the undying lightning strikes and flames in the crater.
"We'll leave it, studying it can accelerate the development of cultivation in the federation by several decades, there is a high chance it could spark a war though"
"If it can spark a war between nations, shouldn't that be enough of a reason for you to maybe snuff out the flames or bury it, I thought you liked peace" Seth teased her.
"Don't misunderstand me Mr. Evary, I value peace as it brings about a time for rebuilding and advancement, but there is no greater force that brings about rapid growth like conflict, it brings out the best in a society and its people and makes sure resources fall into the hand of the right people".
A section of the car opened up like a sliding door and Rose got in after answering his question, Seth observed the car a few seconds more and then got in.
From the outside, the car looked like any sports car, slim and compact, but its inside was like that of an enlarged limousine, he could even stand up straight and walk, it was like he had passed through a portal and arrived in a different location.
There was a red carpet on the floor with two long couches on each side and a central throne-like chair on both ends.
Seeing Rose already sitting on one of the throne like chairs, he immediately moved for the other one at the end, four more steps and he was already making himself comfortable in a chair, he had never felt anything so comfortable in his life.
"Hello sir, if you require any service, I am here to assist" Seth heard a female voice utter, he sent a glance at Rose who just quietly sat down with her legs crossed looking at him.
"And who are you exactly", he asked
"I Am the AI built into this vehicle sir, I go by the name Ling" the voice replied.
"Well in that case Ling, tell me how many times Rose has masturbated in here, "Seth asked with a grin.
"Your question concerns the private life of Mrs. Gibson, you are not authorized to access such information"
"So you're saying you won't tell me how many times she has masturbated, but you accept that she has masturbated in here," Seth asked with a grin.
"You are not authorized to access such information, is there any other thing I can help you with sir" was Ai's still sweet reply.
"Fine, fine, give me the best wine you currently have," Seth said, deciding to stop playing around with the Ai.
"Sorry sir, but your level of cultivation Is insufficient to safely consume the best alcohol, may I suggest Weniger, it is the only one which you can safely drink as long as you make some thorough preparations" Ling replied.
First Rose embarrasses him and now even her Ai does the same, he couldn't help but turn to stare at Rose and for the first time he could see a slight smirk on her face.
"Give him orange juice appropriate for his cultivation" Rose finally said after watching Seth get embarrassed by her car's AI.
An opening appeared beside his chair and a stand carrying a glass cup and a bottle of yellow liquid came out of it.
"Great now I have been reduced to drinking juice," Seth thought,
Without a word, Seth ignored the cup and grabbed the bottle, uncorked it, and had a drink of it, thankfully it tasted like orange juice, really delicious orange juice that soothed his mind and sent him down the path of thoughts concerning his present predicament.
"Do I really want to be in a relationship with such a troublesome woman?" Seth thought to himself as he took another swig of his orange juice, a calming sensation flowing through him.
"No, she just seems to be in charge now because she's stronger than me, when I get stronger than her the dynamics of our relationship are going to change",
Seth consoled himself with these pitiful thoughts and a bottle of juice given to him by the source of his depression.
" I think it's time we discussed a very important topic," Rose said when she saw Seth quiet down and begin enjoying his orange juice.
"And that would be," Seth asked not really interested in what she had to say.
"Why are you still at the middle cadet stage," Rose asked, looking him straight in the eye.
"Am working on it" Seth replied as he looked away from her and took another swig of his juice.
"With your Soulsense breaking into general level cultivator should take you a max of two days, so why haven't you broken through? Is there a problem with your cultivation?
Set could feel Rose's soulsense attempt to sweep through him, so he immediately deployed his soulsense to defend himself, but it was all for nothing as her soulsense easily smashed his apart and went through him.
This Action sent Seth uncrossing his legs with a stamp, he leaned forward and looking Rose straight in the eye, he said
"I said I am working on it, and why are you so concerned about my cultivation anyway?
Seth was furious, he couldn't remember the last time he had gotten angry Rose's rude action with her Soulsense had set him off.
"Your failure to advance has me worried that I might have botched up the transformation.' Rose calmly replied not showing any reaction to Seth's aggressiveness
Hearing her words, Seth calmed down, it seems he had misunderstood her, he thought she was trying to be bossy and interrogate him but it turns out she was just worried about him.
"Hmm, guess I misunderstood your intentions," Seth said.
"If you were thinking I was trying to control you, then you were right, I did tell you I will be keeping you in check" Rose replied but this time a smirk clearly showed on her face.
Seth felt several emotions go through him when he heard her words, but in the end, he just slumped into his chair had taken a long swig of his juice till the bottle was empty.
"Can we just go home" Seth quietly asked in defeat,
"Oh we arrived in Moroc city a long time ago and are currently on the roof of your apartment"
"Say what now"
Seth was stunned as the seemingly bare wall turned to windows and he could see that they were one very familiar rooftop, without even bothering about how they had covered such a massive distance in such little time, he spoke to ling.
"Ling pack for me as many bottles of that orange juice and then open the door," Seth said as he stood up,
When a black bag filled with orange juice bottles come out, he immediately grabbed it and walked towards the door which slide open.
Rose watched Seth walk out with a calm gaze, she hated his arrogance and continuous sexual harassment, yet she found herself wishing he could stay with her longer, at first she thought it was because he had saved her life, but after saving his life twice, she knew it was something else.
"Maybe it's pity," Rose thought as she easily pushed this problem to the back of her mind.
"Don't forget to come to the school tomorrow, I'll be waiting "
Seth paused in his steps as he heard these words, when he turned around he couldn't see anything or feel anything, the car had vanished, but he played no heed to the mystery.
He turned around and continued his walk down to his apartment with a bag in one hand and a bottle in the other.
