(MC POV)
The party was set to start quite late into the night, so I had already tucked Cai Hong into bed by then.
Muon and Lilith seemed to have brought my disciples somewhere else to train them so they weren't around right now.
What came as a complete surprise to me was the fact that Iris actually chose not to accompany me to the party, stating that she would watch from afar instead.
I almost thought she got replaced by an imposter or I went to another universe again but it seems like that wasn't the case. I guess she might have gotten tired of being around people? She might be a cosmic being but that's still a possibility.
Well, I didn't really mind so I let her rest in my room while I headed to the party venue in the Grand Courtyard by myself.
"And here is the main star of today!" Sect Master Qing announced the very moment I stepped inside the place, as though he had been waiting for me the entire time.
Everyone turned to me and started cheering for some reason, making me feel a little awkward at the attention I was getting.
The party was already in full swing with food, drink and music being played by a band at the back.
Surprisingly, the people were intermingling with no regard to which Sect or country they were from. They were even talking and laughing along like best of friends.
Ok, either everyone was already drunk, or something happened in the showcase today that I was not aware of.
Or maybe the only reason they were so hostile to each other in the beginning was because of those two Origin Wielders, so everyone went back to normal after they left?
Oh well, I don't really care anyway and this was much more preferable than everyone being at each other's throats.
Sect Master Qing strolled up to with a wide grin on his face, "Thank you for gracing us with your presence, Master Lin."
"Sorry for being late, I had to tuck the little one into bed before coming here."
"Oh, no need to worry Master Lin, what matters is that you're here! Now, please don't let an old man like me hinder you from enjoying yourself!"
He guided me to the centre of the courtyard and almost everyone surged forward to meet me.
"Master Lin! It is an honour!"
"Master Lin, we did not manage to greet you on the first day!"
"Master Lin, could I shake your hand?"
"Master Lin, please sign my breasts!"
I'm guessing this was why Iris chose not to follow me so that she could avoid getting swarmed by this mob… Maybe I should have followed her lead.
I tried my best to respond to them as best I could and that took quite a while. And yes, I did sign that girl's breasts.
Sect Master Qing came to my rescue by announcing that drinks were being served again and they were giving out… Cultivation pills?
Aren't they used for helping people absorb energies better to improve their cultivation? Why the heck are we giving out cultivation pills at right now? Are they like souvenirs or something?
Everyone in the courtyard went to where Sect Master Qing was directing them and they seemed to have taken a pill without questioning it. I thought they would keep those pills but that expectation went out the window when everyone started swallowing them immediately.
Eh? Are they planning to start cultivating now?
Hmm… I suppose with the fact that there's so many strong Practitioners gathered here, the Elemental Quarks being spread around in the air would be more potent than normal so the less experienced Practitioners could use this chance to improve their cultivation.
But isn't it kind of a waste since this was supposed to be a party?
That was when I noticed some male Practitioners going up to the female Practitioners and inviting them for something.
They then left the Grand Courtyard together which greatly confused me since the party was far from over.
It was only when I saw two female Practitioners go towards one corner of the Courtyard and started kissing each other did I realise what was going on.
After such a competition, everyone's all feeling full of pent up energy and nowhere to direct it to. The Showcase also showed everyone who the talented people were which translated to very eligible bachelors and bachelorettes.
This was basically like the Olympics in a sense and because of the fact that dual cultivation also exists in this World, everyone would be taking advantage of that fact to find partners to further improve their cultivations.
This was not limited to the new Practitioners either since the Masters and Elders who were facing bottlenecks in their own cultivation might be able to break through if they were to dual cultivate with someone from another Sect.
Now I know why I was called the main star… I was expected to dual cultivate with my girls here which would release Origin energy into the air around and greatly accelerate everyone's cultivation greatly…
But now that my disciples weren't around… What were they planning to--
"Master Lin~"
I turned around to see several girls from various different Sects and countries looking at me with a very familiar glint in their eyes.
One after the other, their hands reached up to their robes and slowly stripped them off, letting them stand there in nothing but their underwear.
"Could we… Trouble Master Lin to take care of us? You don't need to do anything, we'll make sure Master Lin feels good~"
I coughed, "Umm… Sorry, but I don't just do it with anyone…"
Like seriously… I don't even know any of you…
The girl leading them unclasped her bra to let her bosoms bounce free, "Could Master Lin make an exception just for today?"
I was about to reject her again when a ray of light fell from the sky to shine down on me, forcing the girls to cover their eyes in surprise at the unexpected light.
Looking up, I realised that it was Iris that was causing the light and she was descending from the sky like some sort of divine being… Which I suppose she actually was.
Iris looked down at everyone gathered below, "You're a billion years too early to ask to sleep with my Master~"
She then let out another flash of light before appearing beside me, her hand on mine and pulling me in for a deep kiss.
Her tongue wrapped around mine tantalisingly, teasing and tasting me while she moaned into my mouth.
The other girls got the message and scattered, leaving the two of us in each other's arms.
Pulling back from the kiss, I looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "Is that why you said you didn't want to come? Just so that you can show off like that?"
"Ufufufu~ Could you blame me, Master? I do need to find ways of being entertained~"
This woman…
She giggled, "Now, Master… Could I ask that we engage in some sexual activities? The people here were expecting it after all~"
Iris did the exact same action the girl earlier had done by stripping herself out of her robes and letting her perfect bosoms bounce free.
Well, you won't hear me say no to this.
It was a very fun night.
