Aether let out a content sigh, having finally finished the long walk that led to the green plateau atop Mount Aocang, the domain of Cloud Retainer.
"You know, I don't think the Adepti much care for the banquet Ningguang's hosting. Besides, if we let Wu stay long enough on the mountain, he might just never come down, and we'll never have to see him again." Paimon's hatin' ass said.
"That's enough out of you about Wu, Paimon. You only hate him because he takes your snacks." Aether sighed.
"Whatever... Best case scenario, that girl in white steals his heart and he'll stop following us..." Paimon murmured.
Aether sighed, pulling a three course meal from his backpack and setting it onto the table on the island in the center of the lake as an offering. He hopped to the opposite shore, trudging across soft grass and into the rocky cavern that held Cloud Retainer's domain door.
Knock knock.
"Who dares encroach upon the domain of the Adepti?"
Aether flinched as the voice of Cloud Retainer emanated from no direction in particular.
"Um... It is I, the traveler Aether... I come with-"
"One jests. You may enter."
Cloud Retainer's voice emanated as the Domain door opened.
Aether bowed his head and wandered inside, Paimon hovering just behind him.
"You will find one and her students in the subdomain across the right light bridge."
Cloud Retainer's voice guided Aether as he wandered across the bridge, gazing across the inside of Cloud Retainer's domain.
Aether approached the doors to the subdomain, still wondering how a subdimension in a subdimension even worked.
He pushed the stone doors open, gazing into the domain as the white floor of the inner inner realm shone widely. He stepped inside, his footfalls echoing across the empty floor before his eyes fell on a mysterious dome-shaped building. He assumed that was where they were, so he crossed the stretch of empty floor to it, entering the dome-shaped building through a door in its side.
After crossing a hall, he entered a viewing room that looked into a great inner chamber. Cloud Retainer stood within the viewing area, gazing though a thick pane of glass intently at something.
"Hello, Cloud Retainer..." Aether bowed his head as he stepped next to her.
"..." Cloud Retainer was silent, watching like a hawk at whatever was going on inside.
"Wow, just what's got her so engrossed...?" Paimon asked, floating up past Aether's shoulder to gaze at-
"Hah... Hah...!~"
"WHOA!!!" Paimon cried out, veering backwards from the viewing window as she saw what was happening on the floor of the chamber.
Shenhe and Wu were locked against eachother on the floor of the training chamber, shivering with the strain of trying to overpower the other. Shenhe straddled Wu's waist tightly with her legs, gripping Wu's wrist as he did the same to hers, both of them straining for control as their foreheads practically touched. Shenhe held a look of frustration and minor embaressment, while Wu looked like the happiest man that ever lived.
"WHEN PAIMON SAID WU'D BE ENAMORED, SHE DIDN'T THINK IT'D BE THIS FAR!!!" Paimon screamed, covering her eyes.
"Grow up, we're just grappling!!!" Wu let out a strained growl from the floor of the domain.
