The Rise of the Black Plain
Chapter 90 - 90: Going to the Peak of the Fog

Time passed, and dawn had already arrived in the City of Flowers while Minos and Ruth were still sleeping in their room. Daylight could also be seen entering the hotel room where they were, illuminating their surroundings.

If someone were to enter the room at the present moment, they would surely be taken aback. Although the duo had been sleeping for some time, the dense lingering smell which was characteristic to sex could still be sensed in the air.

But that was not all, clothes were scattered all around the place, while sheets and pillows were thrown from the bed and lying in some corner, and on the furniture it was possible to find numerous sweat marks.

There was a damp mark on the sofa in the bedroom while a few blood stains marred the bedsheet. To say the least, the place was in complete disarray and marked with the fluids of the duo.

The two had lost themselves in lust and had done everything that they could think of, last night. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they had used all possible positions in every part of the room.

But after more than seven straight hours of pure pleasure, Minos and Ruth finally reached their satisfaction. Then, finally, the two couldn't take it anymore as they collapsed on the bed, drifting in slumber even till now.

They didn't even bother to cultivate last night. After all, in the past few days, both Minos and Ruth had made a significant improvement by leveling up, so they had no intention of sacrificing their desires just for the sake of a single cultivation session!

Eventually, as the sun's rays entered the room, the naked bodies of Minos and Ruth remained entwined, embracing each other tightly while having smiles on their faces as they slept, reflecting their contentment.

Ruth had her supple breasts firmly sticking against Minos' chest, while her legs intermingled with his. She rested her head comfortably on his shoulder, sleeping as if she was immersed in having the most blissful dreams.

Meanwhile, Minos was sleeping on his back with his face turned to Ruth. Even in his sleep, the young Stuart could still smell the faint fragrance of the young woman's hair.

Time slowly ticked by, and it was not long before the two woke up. Exchanging a brief glance at each other for a moment, they smiled.

"Good morning Ruth," Minos greeted, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Hmm, good morning," the beautiful woman was like a kitten, sticking closer to him as she greeted with a bright smile.

Minos grinned and asked, "So, how was the night for you?"

Ruth beamed sweetly and then answered as she looked into his eyes, "It was the best night I ever had in my life! I thought that I was going to lose my mind with such pleasure..."

She truly felt as if she was in heaven right now. For Ruth, who had remained a pure maiden until now, last night with Minos had opened up a new world to her. It was as if a black and white world had suddenly been painted in vibrant colors!

"All because of you..." she whispered softly, her eyes fixed on Minos. She had a strange feeling in her heart that she couldn't quite understand. But she knew that she would never be able to forget that moment or Minos...

"Hmm, it was fantastic for me as well..." Minos said as he leaned to kiss the alluring woman nestled in his arms.

"Really? Even better than that woman?" Ruth teased with a mischievous smile on her face.

"Hmm, it was very different from what I had with her, I can still say that confidently," Minos responded with a nod.

'Hehe, perfect...' Ruth beamed in her heart as a satisfied smile graced her face.

After that, the two took a shower together while exchanging more caresses. However, they refrained from getting too deep into their desires. The two of them had already undergone a long lovemaking session, and now their private parts needed to rest a little longer...

...

A few minutes later, Minos and Ruth left the hotel where they had spent the night, making their way towards the eastern exit of the City of Flowers.

Their destination was called the Peak of Fog, a place on the east side of the city. Minos wanted to seize the opportunity to harvest this Warrior-grade herb that grew in the area.

However, even if someone had already harvested it, that would not disrupt Minos' plans. He needed to pass through this region anyway to continue his trip to the Cromwell Kingdom's capital, so that was already a part of his and Ruth's travel schedule.

Without much delay, Ruth and Minos were already riding the great white-feathered eagle as they soared towards the Peak of Fog.

For this trip, it would take them about an entire day to cover the distance between the city and their destination. After that, the two would need to travel for another three days to reach the next town, where they could finally have some rest.

...

While Minos and Ruth traveled through the Cromwell Kingdom, the products from Black Plain had already arrived in Old Stone on Stone Island.

At this moment, Elen Nash sat in her residence, accompanied by her friend and business partner, Elena, when someone entered through the door.

The visitor was a middle-aged woman who was responsible for managing Elen's business in Old Stone.

"Ms. Elen, all items from the Black Plain have already arrived in the city and have been distributed across our family markets. Right now, they are already being sold in the six locations chosen by you," the woman informed with a serious expression on her face.

"Oh? That's wonderful. I am interested to see how things progress. Hehe," Elen replied with a dazzling smile on her face. She was pleased to start her venture with Minos and was also very anxious to see what would happen in the future.

"By the way, you didn't tell me about your trip with Minos and his group? Did you have any forbidden adventures with him? Haha," Elena inquired teasingly.

"Hmph, you truly don't change... But about that..."

Responding to her friend's complaint, Elen started recounting her experiences with Minos in the Black Plain and Yellow City, including the strange beast they had come across.

When she heard the tale, Elena couldn't help but regret not going on this trip along with them. She was very interested in that 5-tailed fox that Elen had talked about. After all, she had never heard of a creature like that!

...

While Elen talked about her experiences on the Black Plain to Elena, Minos' products were already being sold at the Nash family markets in Old Stone.

At a certain region in the capital of Stone Island, a respectable-looking young woman strolled along the southern side of Old Stone, making her way towards a nearby market.

She was a young housewife who had been married early and also had children, and today, she was going to buy the ingredients for the upcoming week.

She followed this routine weekly as it was not good to buy in large quantities. Some traders would sometimes sneak in lower quality grains or cereals at the bottom of the containers, causing some of the unlucky customers to throw away a significant portion of what they had purchased.

Therefore, this young woman was cautious with what she bought and avoided buying in large quantities. However, she even had a good financial condition since her husband was a guard of the royal family on Stone Island. Moreover, he was already at the 5th stage.

Anyway, as she passed in front of the Nash family market, the young woman entered this shop as she always did. Although she did not lack crystals to feed her family, she still did her thorough research to get the best food for her family.

It did not take long before she arrived in front of a place where they were displaying some excellent-looking fruits, grains of rice so white that they almost glistened, luscious grapes, and an assortment of various leaves, etc. All of these items gave the impression that they were of the best quality.

And even though she had not yet reached level 40, it was only based on the appearance of these items that she was able to tell that these products were rich in spiritual energy.

However, she found something strange, the price charged for each kilo of these products was almost equal to the price of the average quality items that were usually sold there.

Approaching a teenager who was weighing some beans for another customer, she asked, "Boy, are these prices correct?"

"Hmm, I've been asked the same several times today. The store manager said that prices are accurate," the young attendant replied when continuing his business with the previous customer.

"Okay, then… I'll get some..." with that, the young woman started to place her order, specifying the quantities of each item she wanted to buy.

...

After completing her weekly shopping at the Nash family market, the young woman returned to her home and headed to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

She immediately decided to use the newly bought items since she had never come across such quality things before today.

It wasn't long before her husband came home, speaking aloud, "My love, I'm home! Is lunch ready?"

"Hmm, come to the kitchen. Luna and Mark are already eating," the young woman called out to her husband.

After he sat down to lunch, the moment he noticed the appearance of the dishes on the table, the man exclaimed in surprise, "Olivia, why did you buy items rich in spiritual energy? Don't you know that we can't afford such extravagance?"

"Huh? Rich in spiritual energy? I paid the usual price for them." she replied, not caring about her husband's irritation.

"What?"
