Huan Mansion.
After the sparring match between Huan Caiyi and Chu Yuechan, everyone had lunch together inside.
Yu Long was feeling unusually lazy for some reason. Although many tasks needed his attention, he didn't want to do them. This impulse was 'likely' caused by his recent consumption of Lightning Calamity, which provided him with immense energy and left him feeling "quite" satisfied.
He glanced at Chu Yuechan and commented, "Yuechan, you should learn more styles of swordsmanship. Don't focus too much on conventional and overpowering styles, and let a style that is unique to yourself be born."
"Being too stubborn on the wrong thing is not good."
"More so, following my crooked swordsmanship."
Honestly, it was Yu Long's fault to start Chu Yuechan's path of the sword by mimicking his swordsmanship. After all, he wasn't a swordsman nor an expert in this field.
To Yu Long, using a sword is just a means of attacking.
An extension of his power.
However, it's not the correct path for Chu Yuechan.
"Caiyi won in the previous spar because she understood her power very well." Yu Long added, chewing on a roasted premium beef.
"She wasn't restrained by narrow vision and could use her power creatively."
"That last attack is not a simple "cyclone" that could attack an enemy."
"It was compressed "wind" by continuously stacking airflow, which not only gave the spear's attack more destructive and cutting force but also extreme speed."
"I'm not saying that your swordsmanship is weak."
"But it's..."
"Inflexible." Huan Caiyi suddenly interjected.
She stared at Chu Yuechan calmly and said, "Your swordsmanship is only at the development stage. It's powerful, but you have yet to tap into that swordsmanship's potential."
"You might have a Divine Sword, but it will look no different than a random twig if you only know how to swing it randomly."
Yujin, Chu Yueli, Thalia, and Tempest heard Huan Caiyi's comments and had different ideas about Chu Yuechan's swordsmanship.
Of course, Tempest, being the most simple-minded here, felt Caiyi's words were unnecessary.
After all, Tempest always regarded strong as strong. There is no need for fancy words. Since Chu Yuechan can kill someone like Poseidon alone, she's strong!
Meanwhile, Yujin and the rest have a thoughtful look.
It's not hard to understand Huan Caiyi's train of thought.
Thalia comes from a world where superpowers flourish, so she knows how important it is to be more comprehensive and creative.
Manipulating fire is not always about burning and explosion.
There is more to it.
The same goes for swordsmanship.
Chu Yueli and Yujin also understood this because one had stayed with Yu Long for years, and the other was a divine beast from the Primordial Era of Gods.
Chu Yuechan silently digested this advice. She nodded, "I will keep it in mind."
It's not that Chu Yuechan couldn't receive criticism. She has been on the top too long in Blue Wind Empire, and not many people dare criticize her.
Having the opinion of others is good for her growth.
"Empress, a woman named Freya is seeking Consort Yu outside." A maid approached Huan Caiyi and whispered to her ears.
Unfortunately, the whisper was useless because everyone in this room was an expert. Their hearing sense is sharp enough to hear a mosquito's wings flapping, so eavesdropping is not that difficult.
Huan Caiyi's mouth twitched when she saw Yu Long roll his eyes. She waved her hand at the maid and said, "Go tell that woman to enter the mansion."
"Understood." The maid nodded before walking away politely.
"Interesting maid you have there." Chu Yueli flashed Huan Caiyi a sly smile.
Huan Caiyi coughed, "She's new."
After waiting for a few seconds, Freya arrived at the dining room with the maid and greeted Yu Long with a smile. "Nice to see you again, My Lord!"
Yu Long nodded and said, "Sit, Freya."
"By the way... How is the progress with the Heavenly Wind Flower and Wine's ingredients?"
Freya sat down, and a maid served her a drink. She played with the glass and answered with a smile, "Everything is as you ordered, Master."
"I have packed the pollen and germinated golden sunflower seeds to the Heavenly Demon Cult."
"As for the wine's ingredients..."
"It's in my ring." Freya pulled a ring from her cleavage, showing off her snowy mountain.
Yu Long's eyes widened for a second but quickly returned to normal as he looked at Freya more respectfully this time.
Huan Caiyi coldly snorted upon seeing this because she didn't expect this gentle-looking woman to be that kind of person. As expected, you shouldn't judge a woman by her beauty.
The more beautiful a woman is, the more scheming she is.
Meanwhile, Yujin and others were unfazed by Freya's antics. They don't find the elf-like kaiju acting weird.
Chu Yueli glanced at Huan Caiyi's cold eyes and chuckled inwardly as this demon empress was quite adorable. It seemed Huan Caiyi hadn't realized the pit she was in.
Yes, the pit is called Yu Long's harem.
"Here, Master." Freya presented the "shiny" ring to Yu Long.
Yu Long awkwardly picked up the ring and briefly checked its contents, finding piles of wine ingredients inside. With such amounts, they could make a literal lake of wine.
"Good job, Freya." Yu Long praised gently.
"Hehe, this is nothing." Freya chuckled happily. "If you want more, just tell me, Master."
Yu Long shook his head gently and replied casually, "This is enough for now. Though, I suppose, you're right."
"Better to have more than less."
"For the next few days, you should cultivate more of these herbs and ingredients."
"I understand." Freya nodded amiably, already using her power to nurture the surrounding mountain range. The mountain range would become more active in the next few days.
"Okay, let's experiment with the wine, shall we?"
Yu Long summoned Woby, the Great Slime Emperor, and surprised Huan Caiyi and others as they didn't expect him to have such an adorable thing on his side.
"Woby!" The slime saluted Yu Long, even having a military hat on its head for some reason.
The slime also saluted the women with silly expressions.
"What is this creature? How adorable!" said Tempest with bright eyes.
"Slime?" Thalia glanced at Yu Long. "Another reference..."
Yu Long introduced Woby to everyone and told them about the slime's ability to break down essences and mix them perfectly, which shocked Huan Caiyi.
'No wonder Yu Long was so confident her wine recipe could do good for the empire.' Huan Caiyi gave the slime a peculiar look.
Yu Long squished Woby's head and pulled Huan Caiyi's journal, telling the slime how to make Little Fantasy Wine step by step.
The slime nodded occasionally before bouncing to show its confidence that it could make Huan Caiyi's wine just fine.
Then, Yu Long threw the ingredients Freya had given him into Woby's mouth.
Everyone watched as the small blob-like creature became as big as the dining table, seeing the herbs, fruits, and many other ingredients melt away like butter on a pan.
"Mixing..." Huan Caiyi watched the essence of these ingredients mixed in Woby's stomach.
"Distillation..." Impurities were thrown out of the mix, becoming sweet-tasting smoke in the room.
"Fermentation..."
"No, it's much more advanced than my fermentation. It used an unknown power to accelerate the bonding process."
"The one-month process only takes a few seconds inside that stomach."
Woby's body slowly shrinks as jade bottles start pouring out from the left side of its body.
Yu Long grabbed one bottle randomly and sipped it a little, "Oh, this is not bad."
Curious by the wine's taste, the women grabbed one near them, including Huan Caiyi.
Huan Caiyi drank the wine and was shocked, "This is..."
"The taste is similar, but..."
"The effect is much better than my wine's."
"I can feel my Profound Energy flowing more smoothly, nourishing nooks and crannies in the Profound Veins and Bone's Marrow that one normally couldn't touch."
"Pretty good, am I right?" Yu Long chuckled, feeling his first kaiju was meeting his expectations.
Huan Caiyi nodded slowly, "With this Little Fantasy Wine, we could quickly develop many Tyrant Profound Experts."
"No, even making many Sovereign Profound Experts is feasible with enough time and effort!"
