The Rise of the Black Plain
Chapter 81 - 81: Peculiar Early Morning

After hearing Minos' reassuring words, Ruth felt at ease and almost forgot that he was still holding her. 'That's right. There is nothing wrong with sharing a bed with him for the night.

I've known him for months, and I know I can trust him,' Ruth began to convince herself that this was an acceptable situation for her...

Having lived with Minos for a long time, she had spent a lot of time thinking about the mysteries that involved the young Stuart and appreciated how responsible he was. Therefore, just sleeping on the same bed didn't make her look problematic.

It wouldn't make much of a difference whether she was to be sleeping in the bed or the armchair as they would still be in the same room, and if something were to happen, it wouldn't change the situation much.

After a few seconds, Ruth finally noticed something. 'Huh? Was he hugging me all this long? How did I not notice it?' She thought with slight concern as she felt the warmth of Minos' body enveloping her.

After noticing that Ruth appeared much calmer, Minos gradually released the embrace and then glanced at the bathroom before asking, "Would you like to use the bathroom first? I want to do some cultivation before taking a shower."

Upon hearing this, Ruth's thoughts immediately shifted as she responded with a slight blush, "Okay, I'll go first."

After that, Minos settled himself on the ground and began his cultivation for the next two hours straight. Ruth also started cultivating after taking her bath. After all, cultivation itself was not very tiring to the cultivators. It was akin to meditation.

After Minos finished his cultivation session, he could feel he was advancing closer and closer to the next level and anticipated that the breakthrough should occur within a week at most.

As for training the other techniques he generally used, Minos decided to postpone it for tomorrow. That is because there was practically no suitable place for training his other techniques between Dry City and the City of Waters.

This place was just a vast, desolate plain that almost left anyone completely exposed to any passersby.

However, beyond the City of Waters, there were numerous forests and some mountains between the cities that they would traverse until they reached the capital of the Cromwell Kingdom.

And so, Minos planned to train during this trip, stopping at least once every two days so that he could practice his attack, defense, and support techniques.

Anyway, after cultivation, Minos immediately headed to take a bath.

It didn't take long before the duo had already done their duties and also had dinner. The two then decided that it was time to go to bed.

At that moment, Ruth, who usually wore clothes that accentuated her body, was now wearing a loose-fitting shirt and trousers to avoid drawing Minos' attention.

On the other hand, the young Stuart usually slept only in trousers and did not change his way this time. He was not a bashful person, and if that enticed beautiful Ruth to do something... Hehe, well, then he would certainly be delighted.

Upon seeing Minos sitting on the bed, Ruth immediately grabbed one of the pillows and designated the space between them, and said with a threatening yet embarrassed tone, "This side of the bed is mine, and this other side is yours. Don't go over this boundary, okay?"

"Haha, alright. Relax, I know that," Minos laughed while watching the beautiful woman before him with a flushed face.

Before long, the two lay on the bed in silence. Minos soon fell asleep since he was not expecting that something was going to happen. If Ruth had been this easy, then it might have happened long ago...

As for Ruth, due to the nervousness of sleeping beside a man for the first time, she took a bit longer to fall asleep than usual. Her heart raced to the point where she could almost hear her heartbeats.

...

The night passed quickly, and the first rays of the sun could already be seen illuminating the City of Waters.

The city gradually came to 'life,' as some people left their homes and started doing their respective routines.

Meanwhile, on the third floor of the Midnight Hotel, in the room where Minos and Ruth were staying, the two youths were embracing each other on the big bed as they slept.

Pillows lay scattered on the floor, while the blanket they used was now shifted to the foot of the bed.

Minos lay on his back, dressed in the same way he went to sleep, while his right hand was wrapped around Ruth's back. As for the beautiful young woman, she was without her shirt, hugging Minos with her head resting on his chest and her legs entwined around the young Stuart's waist.

Her long black hair cascaded untamed, and the young woman's shapely breasts were pressed against Minos' body.

Though nothing untoward had occurred between the two, during the night, while in her deep sleep, the beautiful young woman felt a little warm and decided to take off her shirt... And, of course, since she was unconscious, she didn't mind doing this, even though she was in the same bed as Minos, as she simply acted upon her comfort!

As for why she wasn't wearing a bra, well, that was simply because it was more comfortable to sleep without wearing one. And being a cultivator, she didn't have to worry about any problems that this could cause to her body.

...

Time passed, and soon Minos woke up.

He felt something strange while sleeping, as if he were being touched by something. And as soon as he opened his eyes, he was greeted with a beautiful scene in front of him.

Ruth was sleeping peacefully on his chest, shirtless, with her breasts unintentionally offered to him. He could even vaguely glimpse at the small, pink hue of the young woman's nipples, which gently grazed his abdomen.

'Hehe, I didn't think Ruth was so honest with herself in her sleep,' the young Stuart thought with a smile on his face as he stroked the young woman's naked back.

It didn't take long, and soon Ruth also woke up from her sleep. This was one of the best nights she had since the past few weeks!

"Mmm, what a good sleep..." she murmured, running her hand across Minos' chest before noticing that something was wrong.

'Huh? Why is the bed so warm?' she wondered about it just before opening her eyes and realizing what was going on.

Soon, she realized not just that but also the fact that she was half-naked while entwined with Minos!

When Minos saw that Ruth was awake, he smiled at her and simply said, "Good morning, Ruth."

But instead of responding to him with a 'good morning,' Ruth let out a startled cry. Her face was flushed red as she rushed out of Minos' embrace while using the blanket from the foot of the bed to cover her breasts.

Minos then said with a provocative grin on his face while gazing into her eyes. "Ruth, it looks like your body is pretty honest, so why don't you just accept it? You don't have to be ashamed..."

"I... I... That's not..." Ruth stammered, not knowing what to say. She was already so nervous about sleeping beside Minos that she had forgotten that it was not uncommon for her to take off her shirt during her sleep.

Ruth had been preoccupied while thinking about him a lot lately, but that was merely because there were numerous mysteries surrounding Minos, so she wasn't sure why she had crossed her partition and snuggled up to him while asleep.

It didn't mean she was interested in him...

At that moment, Ruth's heart was racing so fast that it looked like it could leap out of her chest at any moment. 'What a shame... How am I going to face him now?' Ruth cried in her thought as she averted her gaze from Minos.

Realizing her distress, Minos decided to comfort her.

If this wasn't resolved, then she might end up behaving differently to him from now on, and that definitely wouldn't be ideal. So, he got up and approached her slowly.

"Okay, Ruth, you don't have to be ashamed of this. You don't have to worry about me thinking something strange about you," he said softly, gently taking her hands while she kept averting her gaze while looking to the side, completely flushed.

Drawing himself closer, Minos brought her hands to him while pulling her waist closer to him and then started to embrace her while gently whispering into her ear, "Ruth, You are wonderful, and I'm really happy to see you like this, but if you don't want anything like that from me, we can pretend this didn't happen, and there is no need for you to be ashamed."

Hearing his words, Ruth stood in silence for a while and then gradually turned to look into Minos' eyes. Her heart was still racing when she slowly brought her lips closer to Minos'.

Noticing this, the young Stuart celebrated in her heart and responded in the same way. Their lips finally touched as Ruth dropped the blanket that was still covering her chest to hold Minos' neck while his hand was wrapped around her waist.

The two continued kissing passionately for about 5 minutes as they indulged in touching each other, rolling over in bed.

At that point, Ruth found herself on top of Minos, feeling the young Stuart's hard stick nudging her folds, and that was when she quickly stopped kissing him and said in a low voice. "I... I'm not ready for that yet."

"Okay, I will wait," Minos replied, looking deep into her eyes.

...

Following this peculiar start in the early morning, the two youths had their breakfast in complete silence before changing clothes and departing from the hotel to continue their journey to the capital of the Cromwell Kingdom.
