Rise of the Cosmic_Emperor

When Hal finally rose away from Elsa's pussy at which point, the semi-saint's legs continued to twitch due to residual orgasmic spasms, he smiled cockily at her.

"How was that?" He asked.

Not actually looking for validation but wanting Elsa to admit how much of an effect he had had on her.

"Incredible" Elsa told him. 

There was no way she could say it felt anything but incredible.

After all, she had moaned and yelled at the top of her lungs all through with her words all saying she was enjoying it and never wanted it to stop.

However, while she had indeed enjoyed it, she had the mental fortitude to make herself presentable and put an end to any further development to which Hal merely smiled and said nothing about.

Once she had made herself presentable again, especially with a fresh pair of underwear from her spatial ring, Elsa smiled at Hal, 

"Still working for Tanya still?" She asked even though she knew already what the answer was.

"A strange way to attempt to start small talk but yes. I'm still working for her. Although 'working for her' is being too uptight about it. I think it would be much more accurate to say I was offering up my services... For a price.

But you already knew that, didn't you?' Hal said with a smile.

Elsa shrugged as she said, 

"Maybe"

There was a brief pause and then she continued, 

"You know, I think it would be best you don't get involved with Tanya" she said.

Hal raised a brow, 

"Oh, am I perhaps about to learn why your 'best friend' relationship with Tanya was referred to in the past tense?"

"Actually yes. Tanya can only see her ambitions. It's all she cares about. Ruling the continent is the only thing that matters to her" Elsa said.

Hal stood from the chair and walked closer to her, to ask with a light smile, 

"And what about you, Elsa? What are your ambitions? What do you want to  accomplish?" 

Elsa chuckled,

"I'm sort of in-between ambitions at the moment. Plotting and scheming while sounding enticing also seem way more stressful than simply enjoying what life has in store for me" she said.

"Deep" Hal said with a smile.

"Not really. It's more about being lazy than anything." Elsa said and tilted her head to one side, 

"I should go" she said as she walked towards the door to pull it open.

However, before she walked through it, she looked back at Hal who was smiling and watching her leave, 

"I have to say, I was expecting you to tell me not to leave. To stay and keep you company" Elsa said with a pout to which Hal rolled his eyes, 

"You won't be gone for too long. I'm sure you'll be back soon enough." He told her to which Elsa chuckled, walked out the door, and shut it behind her.

When she was gone, Hal stood from the chair and walked out to the suite's balcony to look over the wonderful view he had of the Imperial city.

He took a deep breath with a smile.

He could sense Melinda's presence in the Imperial city.

Having been with her sexually, he could pick her out as long as she was in his vicinity and it was the same for any other lady he had been with. His scent kind of clung to them only to be perceived by him. Most of the time.

Anyway,

It was while he was picking out those women of his, especially Rita, Karmen, Lillian, and Olivia who were still enjoying themselves in the Imperial city that he sensed someone else.

Someone he had not seen since back when he had just arrived at Sapphire city...

He sensed Valerie.

(Valerie was the one Hal met in Tretch forest back in chapter 22 and the second lady he ever slept with in the Cosmic realm. She had been hit with a quill from a virile hare)

He always believed he would at some point meet with her again but had not thought it would be here, at the Imperial City when he was about to take part in the Royal academy entrance Exams.

At first, he wondered if she was perhaps here to participate in the Entrance exams as well but quickly dismissed the thought as improbable.

Even though he could not sense her cultivation.

For one thing, when he had met Valerie barely a year ago, she had only been at the cosmic pearl realm and while that was probably impressive for her age and a show of talent, Hal highly doubted she could have crossed two realms in the space If a year to be capable of participating in an exam that involved the very best of the young generation in the Haron continent.

No one taking part in this exam could possibly have cultivation lower than the cosmic phenomenon realm.

And while Hal had constantly broken the laid out progressing systems of cultivation, he doubted the same could be said about Valerie.

That said, he was still curious enough to meet her but was in no rush.

The meeting, he felt, was bound to happen and he was right.

It was bound to happen.

He just had no idea how unavoidable the meeting and subsequent clash were bound to be.

...

The Next Day...

Even before the sun was high up in the sky to announce that it was noontime, numerous spectators were already on their way to the large coliseum where they would get to watch the events of the Entrance exams.

While the coliseum was built to seat over one million individuals, excluding the VIP box for the most important personalities, it was still crowded and many would have to settle for ordinary broadcast as opposed to seeing it all happen in person.

This was not really surprising as the population of the Imperial city itself greatly surpassed the total capacity of the coliseum

In fact, no ordinary person, by which I mean, no average joe was seated in the coliseum.

Every one of the more than one million spectators were distinguished fellows, or at the very least, rich enough to afford the tickets that would grant them entry.

The Royal Academy exams were far from a simple or ordinary event that was not worth such grandeur.

The only event involving the young generation that could even come close to this was one organized by either the Alchemist Organization or the Rune castle.

The entry into the VIP box which in itself could hold one thousand of the... Well, the most important persons in the Haron continent was different and private.

Quite a number of those important fellows were already seated.

Patrons from many important families and Sects on the Continent as well as other powerful members of those families and sects. Only the heads of those families and Sects were actually sure to be missing from attendance.

No Duke or Ruling Duchess was in attendance.

Neither was any of the Sect heads. For example, Anton Antonov was not in attendance but his sons were.

Only when a sufficient number of these important individuals were seated did two golden-eyed individuals walk into the VIP box with walking stances that showcased their status as they took their seats in the VIP box.

They were none other than Isabella Dane and her son, Devon Dane.

And the first one to acknowledge their arrival...

"My my, Isabella, you are looking as enticing as usual"

.... Was none other than the lascivious Kirill Doxon.
