The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-629

"Ahh, it's already dark..." Minos muttered under his breath as he stretched himself and looked through the glass wall of his office.

As he did so, he could immediately see the dark sky below Dry City and the many city lights, which already formed a beautiful view for him.

Pa! Pa!

As he was sitting comfortably in his armchair, looking at this night view of the center of this town, the door was knocked twice. After that, Mia entered that place. "Young master, Mirya is here to see you."

"Oh? Ask her to come in, Mia." He said as he turned to the side of that door and smiled.

'Hmm, Mirya's treatment must have come to an end, and she is here to see me, just as I had asked her earlier...' He thought, trying to guess the reason for that woman's visit.

She had never come to this place since she had left the local hospital. As such, Minos couldn't imagine any other reason for her coming to see him at this place, other than the fact that she was probably already fit for cultivation!

"You truly do look much more attractive..." Mirya commented right after entering that office and saw young Stuart's face.

Minos had reached the 6th stage only two days ago. And since she had not seen him in the meantime, this woman only knew of the changes young Stuart had undergone through local rumors...

So, seeing the young and handsome face of this sovereign, she couldn't help but praise him.

'It's a shame I'm not comfortable in doing certain things. Otherwise, I'd suck him dry...' So, she thought to herself, as she imagined the things she would do with the young man in front of her in the future.

Mirya was already well physically, but she had not yet accepted herself mentally. Previously she was a goddess to many men, beautiful and confident in seducing anyone. But after the setbacks she had gone through, in addition to the marks on her body, she had gained some insecurity.

Because of this, even though she had a lot of experience in relationships between men and women, she did not feel comfortable about trying to do something sexual in the short term. And in that way, she wasn't thinking of trying things with Minos at the moment, despite the clear desire she had to spend an entire day exchanging fluids with him...

"Hehe, thanks. You also seem to have improved since we last saw each other. How are you feeling?" Minos commented as he got up from his seat and walked over to Mirya.

He then hugged this mature woman and directed her to the sofa in the office, where he sat down next to her.

Mirya then began to speak. "I am fine. I mean, considering everything that happened, I'm in the best state I could be in at the moment."

"I've completed my treatment with that poison master and the local doctors. And unless Dillian or Regina move up in rank, neither of them will be able to help me get any better in the short term."

"Hmm, I see..."

"However, I have already received permission to return to cultivation." She said, as a slight smile formed on her face. "And precisely because of that, I am here to see you today."

"Earlier today, I signed up for the Black Plain Army, and now I can already be considered one of your soldiers. So, on account of that, coming here to see you, just as you had requested earlier."

"Hehe, it's just as I expected."

He then remembered something and looked calmly at this woman before finally asking. "By the way, Mendy arrived in Dry City earlier. Have you seen her? After I take you to a certain place, you won't be back for a while..."

Upon hearing this, this woman immediately nodded to young Stuart as she began to talk about her reunion with that young woman. "Yes. Earlier today, I was coming here when Mendy visited me at my residence."

"And since I already knew that I would probably be too busy in the short term to be with Mendy, I took the opportunity to spend the afternoon talking with her. So that's the reason I only came here now."

"I see."

"But I was surprised to hear that the family was so quick to accept the arrangement with you..." She said, looking meaningfully at the young man standing right beside her.

"Hmm, but that's not strange. The regional tension has been increasing since I took over the Black Plain. As such, it's normal that noble powers are taking more care and acting more decisively."

"Anyway... Are you ready? If you have nothing else to do, I will take you to a special place right now."

After hearing this, Mirya's eyes shone as she couldn't help but feel anxious.

She should have started receiving benefits from the local army several months ago. But because of all that had happened, her life had been delayed.

However, now it was finally time for her to get what she had been looking forward to for so many months!

She nodded and made a smile. "Yes, we can go any time!"

"All right, let's go!" He said, almost simultaneously, as he touched one of this woman's shoulders, and they teleported to the Spatial Kingdom.

...

After some time, Mirya had finally learned the basics about the Spatial Kingdom from Minos and received the first Silver-grade technique she was going to learn.

Upon learning the basics of this place, she had obviously been shocked. But after considering everything she already knew about the Black Plain and young Stuart's impressive strength, it didn't take her long to accept it all.

Cultivators were beings that adapted very quickly, so it wasn't so difficult for Mirya to soon understand her new reality.

Anyway, after her initial shock, Minos had lent her a parchment of a specialized cultivation technique, which could help her increase her cultivation speed. And after telling her the basics of this place, he had asked Mirya to learn such a technique and then return it to him.

Other than that, he had told Mirya where she could find her daughter, Viola, whom this woman had not seen for many weeks.

The two had a somewhat 'unique' relationship, but both were still mother and daughter. And as such, they both cared about each other and wanted to see each other if they had the opportunity.

On the other hand, since he did not have the patience to be teaching everything about the Spatial Kingdom to every new person who came to this place, he had asked Mirya to make her own questions to Viola.

With that, it wasn't long before the two of them split.

Minos immediately went inside that Spatial Kingdom lake house, where he intended to make some preparations. Meanwhile, Mirya made her way with a smile on her face to the place where she was going to learn the basics of that cultivation technique.

'It's time to get back!' Mirya thought as she sat down on her cultivation cushion. After that, she immediately began to understand that technique.

...

While Mirya was cultivating, Minos quickly reached the main room of that lake house, where there were many items of different kinds, things that he could not use.

But among these many items, there were some fabric canvases there that were as big as building windows. However, there was nothing on these canvases but the white of these fabrics.

Minos then took one of these canvases and put it on a stand there before finally sitting down on a wooden stool.

He then looked from one side to the other and thought. 'Unfortunately, I cannot look at these pictures painted by Henricus Longus, or I would die due to the amount of power remaining...'

'But is truly nice that he left some blank canvases so that I can use them to paint some pictures on my own.'
