Chapter 22 - Heaven’s Gate Competition II
"Human, human, wake up"
If they were to reach heaven's gate province, they had to depart from River town before the sunrise, and even after telling him about this, when she woke up, he was still sleeping like a baby.
"He looks cute when sleeping"
This was the first time she was staying with a man in the same room.
As a princess of Nagaland and a free spirit, she had traveled to many places and met many youths who tried to court her. Every one of them was extremely wealthy and offered an immense amount of wealth to marry her.
Her single glance would be enough to raise their heartbeats and drool but only this human on the bed had never lusted for her except he called her ugly.
Weirdly it was a nice change to her since her birth no one ever dared to disrespect her and would shower her with fake compliments due to her status as a princess. She was sick of it and this human had never done anything like that. Even after knowing she was a princess, he never cared about that and continued to scold her and ridicule her.
"I should kick his ass, literally, hehe"
She let out an evil grin and raised her leg aiming at his butt.
Thop!
"What the?"
Micheal suddenly woke up feeling the sudden kick on his butt and saw Gaya standing before him with a huge grin on her face.
"Did you kick my ass?"
The system had never warned him about it and when he asked the system, it didn't even reply to him.
"I told you I will kick your ass if you dont wake up"
She looked so hot and beautiful right now as it made his mind go blank for a moment.
"Damn, she's hot"
"Come on, chop chop human, we have to leave now to reach the heaven's gate province"
"Its seems like I need to buy an alarm from the system shop"
He opened up the system and bought a toothbrush, toothpaste, and face wash. Although the cultivators didn't need them to keep their body clean, he felt weird going out before brushing his teeth. According to Abras's memories, the commoners used some kind of powder to wash their mouths and most of them didn't spend their coins to buy something like that.
Looking at the weird short stick and the cream he was putting on the tip of the stick confused her.
"Eek"
She jumped back when she saw him putting the stick with the paste into his mouth. The white foam inside his mouth disgusted her.
Micheal kept brushing his teeth for a few minutes and put the items back in the storage after thoroughly washing his face with the water he bought.
Gaya couldn't help but take a deep breath of the fragrance radiating from him as her reaction reminded him of the toothpaste ads on the tv. She stepped forward smelling the wash and now she was standing just a few inches away from him.
"What is that smell, human?"
But the moment she opened her mouth, he took a step back despite her beauty. Looking at the lines on his forehead and his twitching nose, she was bewildered.
"Such a boner killer"
No one would believe that a beautiful hot girl's mouth smells so bad but it made sense since her meridians were broken and still hadn't been repaired to restore her Arch energy circulation through her body.
He quickly bought another toothbrush from the system and covered the head with a lot of toothpaste.
"Here, brush your teeth"
"What?"
Her face turned red guessing why he would ask that.
"do it now"
He took her hand and placed the toothbrush on her hand as she reached the verge of her patience.
"How dare you…(cough)"
While she was screaming, Micheal reflected the air coming out of her mouth against her.
In a flash, her anger turned into an embarrassment as she couldn't believe that her mouth had become so foul smelling.
How could a princess like her mouth smell so bad?
She couldn't look at him directly after getting embarrassed like this.
"Come on, brush your teeth"
She awkwardly put the brush into her mouth and started to move it as he did.
"Argh"
But unexpectedly, she put the brush too deep into her mouth and started to gag.
"Jeez, you're like a baby, give me that"
He kindly grabbed her soft face and took the brush from her hand.
"Look carefully, I won't do this again, now open your mouth"
"Aah"
Like brushing the teeth of a baby, he moved his hand in a rhythm and brushed her teeth without hitting her soft palate.
"Don't swallow it"
He feared that since the paste had a sweet taste, she would swallow it thinking it as edible.
After thoroughly brushing her teeth and cleaning her mouth with saltwater, he made her wash her face, and then he put everything back in his system storage.
"Now say something"
"Thank you?"
She moved her head back a few inches seeing him lean closer to her.
"Good, now it's better, but you must keep brushing your teeth two times a day, or I'll kick your ass"
She meekly nodded since she couldn't talk back arrogantly in this situation.
************************
The morning sunlight filled the sky, pure scattered light as its hue ambitiously illuminating each crevice of the land. Sparrows chirped an explicit background melody while he was on his way to heaven's gate province.
Heaven's Province was a big city in the Bredia Kingdom. It didn't matter if it was size or power; it couldn't be compared to the River town. As a city built through the sole efforts of the royal family of Bredia, the king had absolute control over the city.
As per Gaya's knowledge, in this city, three big sects had their bases, and this caused endless conflicts within the city. Heaven's gate City was built mainly for Heaven's gate competition which was held once every two years. The city, fortunately, didn't have any extraordinary value or resources because if it did, more blood would be spilled.
Micheal and Gaya traveled for more than four hours from the river town before finally arriving at Heaven's gate city. From the outside, the city itself portrayed a magnificent structure and an aristocratic atmosphere so dense that even the capital's of some countries on earth couldn't compare with it, not to mention the small cities and the river town.
Unlike the city wall in the River town, Heaven's gate city wall was over forty meters tall and it wouldn't be possible for anyone under Core Strengthening cultivator to jump over it.
When he finally arrived at the city gate, he found the city filled with people coming towards the city from all directions. Every two years, heaven's gate competition attracted countless warriors and people from various kingdoms and cities of this continent.
Everyone here wanted to witness the presence of the three big sects' genius disciples. Since the King was busy with many internal and external troubles of Bredia, he rarely made an appearance and today wouldn't be an exception.
Those who came here were mostly rich people with high power and authority. One of the reasons why they came here was to witness the presence of these geniuses. Secondly, they were hoping for a chance to get in contact with the big sects. Thirdly, they could recruit some new talents for their house and increase their overall strength.
There were also many fans of certain disciples who had arrived here to show their support. Many youngsters of various powerful and influential families also came from many different places in the Kingdom to get admitted into the sects by showing their talent by competing in the competition.
This caused their families to show their presence here as well. There were two reasons why the families would come; the first was to show their support, while the other was to show off.
Being selected as a disciple of one of the big sects was an honor, and being able to participate in heaven's gate competition was an even bigger honor.
"Wow! so many people in one place"
Micheal exclaimed when he stopped using the lightning dash.
"This silly competition is a big deal for humans. Of course, it will attract many people."
Gaya said.
"The competition will start in a few hours! We arrived just in time, I can't wait to see the battles"
"This is my first time coming here, so I can't miss out on anything, come let's go"
"Let's rush to the city square asap. We can't afford to miss the show!"
