Chapter 26 Instincts Cry Out For Danger
Hearing the alert from the system, Victor's eyes lightly glittered, just by having sex with Mikena he not only gained a terrific skill but also broke through into a new realm.
'Now I must be at the level of an average young master,' thought Victor; of course he only took into account those wastrels who did not practice cultivation extensively, preferring booze and brothels instead.
Naturally, he didn't take into account the likes of the past "Victor" because at least to his knowledge they didn't exist, you could say he was a one-of-a-kind idiot.
"That power..." Feeling his body overflowing with power, Victor couldn't help but feel slightly intoxicated. He felt as if he could smash a rock or maybe even a mountain with a single blow. Of course Victor knew that it was mostly an illusion and he didn't possess such power.
After Victor was fully dressed he decided to go outside and get some fresh air, since the room was completely saturated with the smell of his intense struggle with Mikena, he needed to make plans for the future.
Even though he got the "Dual Cultivation" skill, he didn't want to use it on a regular basis. Although the benefits were great, there hid many dangers in using it, for example it wouldn't be very useful if he used it constantly with Mikena, thus he would have to find a new partner each time.
But Victor feared that, in his experiences so far women always bring trouble, he thought. If she had a beautiful appearance the chance that she carried a lot of problems behind her was too great, a mysterious past, a jealous young master from a large clan and much more.
But having the essence of just one woman is a problem, therefore due to the problems Victor wanted to avoid in the first place, the best way to increase the level of cultivation for someone in his situation was to find a good cultivation technique and practice it properly, of course while still using the skill of Dual Cultivation with Mikena.
Everything was going smoothly in accordance to Victor's plans, at least that's what he thought so far.
But as soon as he left the room he happened to run into a woman who made his instincts scream for danger, as if he were meeting not an ordinary woman from his clan but a mortal enemy who wanted him dead.

"Victor!" - The woman cried out in surprise.
"Su Rong..." Victor said softly out of habit when he saw the woman, before his face took on a strange expression and became completely serious.
Victor remembered who this woman was, so he was a little wary. Su Rong was the mother of this body that he currently occupies.
Even though she was his mother, he always called her by her first name and did not treat her like a mother, but rather like an older sister or friend to whom he was always complaining about Mu Bing Yun's rejections.
Looking at her snow-white hair and violet eyes plus the explosive figure that clearly set her apart from the crowd, Victor now experienced a sensation as if he were faced with a huge problem that was impossible to solve. His instincts were already screaming, alerting him of danger, so he frowned slightly and looked at her with a little apprehension.
He did not know why his instincts were acting like that, for all her appearance and memories gave only that she was just his mother, who only cared for him as an ordinary son in the family.
"Did you want something?" - Victor did not ignore his instincts, because they had saved his life many times, but avoiding her would have been a foolish decision, so he decided to check what was wrong with this woman.
"It's... I was just passing by!" - Su Rong answered.
'What the fuck?' Victor exclaimed to himself as he noticed that his supposed mother blushed as she looked at him and looked away as she spoke.
Nodding his head, Victor accelerated his step trying to get as far away from this woman as possible, now he understood why his instincts were screaming for danger, Su Rong not only lied but she also looked at him with a haunting look that made him shudder.
'This is not the way a mother looks at her son,' thought Victor, trying to remember what was even going on in their relationship.
Su Rong noticed that Victor did not tell her about Mu Bing Yun or anything else as usual, but tried to hide from her as quickly as possible; she even noticed how wary he was at the sight of her.
'Does he know how I feel?' She thought, but then she shook her head, thinking it impossible because Victor had always been a dense man when it came to relationships. If he hadn't noticed it before for several years, he shouldn't now either.
When Victor thought that he dodged this awkward situation and was about to sigh from relief, a soft hand grabbed him, stopping him in his tracks. All the air that he wanted to exhale was instantly breathed back in.
"Do you need something?" - Victor tried to question as friendly as possible, putting a bright smile on his face.
"Isn't there something you want to tell me?" - Su Rong frowned.
'What the fuck is she talking about?' Victor thought frantically, trying to find some kind of answer.
"No." - But he soon gave up and answered honestly.
"Who is the woman that is in your room now?" - While uttering these words, Su Rong narrowed her eyes, which clearly burned with the flames of jealousy and envy.
"Oh, you mean Mikena! She's a friend of mine who I ran into in town today and saved from a bunch of bandits." - Wiping the sweat off Victor replied, earlier he thought the woman would ask something serious, but it turned out to be a simple question.
"She was just curious to know how mother-" But no sooner had Victor finished his thought than he reflexively backed away a few steps, while his back was completely drenched with cold sweat.
"Mikena... Victor's friend…" - Su Rong whispered as if those words were some kind of curse.
Even though she muttered the words quietly, Victor could hear them well and could not understand why she was reacting so acutely to these words, but soon she asked another rather strange question that made Victor shiver all over his body:
"Did you sleep with her?"
