Chapter 28: Miss Wu - Future Boss!

"Aaah! Cultivation is so boring!"

Nuwa cried out as she leaned back, stretching her body on the bed. They already reached the Trade Union Headquarters and were immediately a.s.signed one of the grandest mansions. They sat down to cultivate but after an hour Nuwa was already dying from boredom.

"I really don't know how you all can cultivate so much. It has only been an hour and I'm already restless," Nuwa added, gazing at Wu who sat cross-legged calmly with a Fire Qi Upgrade Fragment in her hand.

"Did you reach the First Refining?" Wu asked with her eyes closed before crushing the Fragment in her palm. The used fragment was so fragile it turned into dust and spread in the air, returning to nature. It was made out of compressed Fire Qi after all.

"Yeah, I reached the first one just now and I can't be bothered to cultivate anymore. What about you?" Nuwa asked as she sat up, her mind already thinking of multiple ways to slack.

"I advanced as well. Was just thinking what is the best way to progress," Wu replied as she turned to Nuwa, also stretching her back. "Do we refine only one element till we reach the Qi Materialization or should we improve all elements at the same time?"

Although they didn't know Arts for each element, all Xuefeng's wives mastered all nine Elements. Usually, each of them had the time to master Arts for only one.

"Ah, if it was Wu, she could go all the way to the Ninth Refining on the Fire Element. I doubt anyone would be able to defeat her," Nuwa muttered, hugging into Wu's back as if her strength was completely depleted. "On the other hand, we don't use Elemental Qi much. Refining my Qi won't increase my power output at all. I would be more satisfied with Treasures or Soul Herbs that can strengthen my Soul Power."

Wu was a diversified Cultivator with no specific major like others which sometimes made her seem too normal. Aside from her business knowledge and connections, she didn't have much to offer in the power department.

"Maybe I should focus on one Element too… My grandpa gave us sixty Fire Qi Upgrade Fragments to keep us busy till the party starts in the evening, but I don't know any Fire Arts like Wen does," Wu said troubled before her eyes brightened with an idea. "Maybe I should connect Earth Qi with the new ability I got? I still didn't explore it too much."

All the girls found themselves a Fate Spirit before Ascending but it has only been a few days ago. She didn't even have time to master her own ability.

"You mean the Elemental Prison one?" Nuwa questioned, recalling it vaguely.

"Mhmm, if I can connect it with my Infinity Blade's ability, it would be a nice combo…" Wu suggested. "I will ask the staff to bring me some Earth Qi Upgrade Fragments then. Maybe they have some Soul Strengthening herbs or pills."

"Are you not worried about owning your grandpa too much anymore?" Nuwa questioned as she stood up from the bed. "I still think you should milk them as much as you can. After all, it's in their interest to improve your strength. Before they can complain, you will be out of their reach."

"If I want to support Xuefeng in fighting my grandpa, I need to get stronger. I worked my a.s.s off to build Trade Union in the Earth Realm. I'm just collecting my overdue pay," Wu replied with a shrug, getting up to walk up to the exit.

"Wait for me!" Nuwa called out as she quickly followed her, needing some excitement in her life.

Upon opening the door, they saw two guards standing in front of their mansion who immediately turned around, bowing their heads. They didn't wear a typical staff's clothing of white uniform but instead a black Hunting Gear.

"Miss Wu! Is there anything we can help you with?"

Both Wu and Nuwa were surprised as naturally, the two guards were clearly experts. Being around experts since forever, it was easy to recognize.

"I would like to get some more Upgrade Fragments for myself. I am not really a Fire Element user. Can you move, so I can get it from my grandpa?" Wu asked casually, ignoring their strength.

"Oh, there is no reason to bother President Wu. One of us will go and bring Miss anything you desire," One of the guards replied hurriedly. "What kind of fragments would you like? It is hard to find Upgrade Fragments other than Fire Qi type inside the Fire Land but we will try our best to get them."

Wu and Nuwa exchanged glanced before Wu recounted her order.

"As you probably know, I already mastered all elements so I want to reach Qi Materialization in every element. Please prepare two sets of six hundred sixty fragments of each element for me and my sister. We already have sixty each from Fire Element so you can just give us six hundred of that type."

The two guards' eyes widened, clearly not expecting such a request.

"Miss Wu… You do realize how hard—" One of them began to reason with her but she quickly cut him off.

"Are you trying to reject my order?" Wu asked coldly. "I'm fully aware that Upgrade Fragments doesn't grow on trees but that doesn't change the fact that I need them to cultivate. Do you want to tell me that the biggest organization in the Heaven Realm doesn't have enough stock of Upgrade Fragments to boost two cultivators into the Qi Materialization stage?"

The guard cleared his throat as he spoke, "Cough, I'm sure that Trade Union definitely has the capability to satisfy your request but it's not a small deal. Each Upgrade Fragment is a treasure. It will take some time before—"

Wu interrupted the guard once again.

"Then what are you waiting for? For sunset? My Grandpa requires us to show up at our celebration party this evening. Do you want us to represent the great President Wu without even reaching the Qi Materialization stage?"

The two guards were already prepared to answer when Nuwa joined, commenting, "I think they don't want us to attend the party. You should go back to President Wu and tell him we will not come. He can't force us after all. I wonder who will he blame later."

Seeing her smirk, the two guards froze, completely trapped.

"Miss Wu, we will prepare the Upgrade Fragments for you now…" the guard replied with a bow, ready to leave.

"Oh, one more thing. I want high-quality pills and herbs that improve Soul Power. The higher the grade the better. I hope it's not a problem," Wu added.

"Of course. It's not a problem."

Even if he was visually irritated, the guard didn't say anything, disappearing from the spot.

"Miss Wu, please wait in the room till the Upgrade Fragments are ready," the second guard advised but Wu quickly rejected.

"No, we will take a walk as a break. Unless you want to stop us?"

The poor guard could only take a step back, having no way to argue. How could he argue with President Wu's granddaughter? Push her back? Block her entry?

Miss Wu was his future boss!
