Chapter 222: Relaxed Day Before Departure
While Angela continued cultivating and improving her cultivation as much as she could with the residual energy in her body, after consolidating her cultivation, Lex had some free time.
He didn't feel like cultivating and didn't need to after spending a year doing nothing but train and cultivate, instead, he wanted to use the time to rest and spend some time with Ella.
In his Portable Sub-Dimension, Lex walked around and couldn't help but smile after he saw all the happy, small fox beasts scurrying around.
There were more and more for beasts that were breeding between the races and a lot of the time their children would end up inheriting one of their parents type of fox race, but on some rare occasions, there would be some evolution.
Finding the Unit Leaders, they all pounced onto Lex after not seeing much of him and began cuddling with him and climbing all over his body.
The strong Unit Leaders managed to push Lex, who wasn't resisting, over and began playing with him.
"You guys have done well and all the fox beasts seem to be happy and progressing well, so well done" praised Lex as he stroked all of their heads and played with them.
From around the corner, Ella appeared and Lex couldn't help but be amazed by the fact that he still couldn't sense her presence or tell when or where she was going to appear.
"Want to spar, I think I will be able to beat you and finally claim you as my girlfriend" stated Lex directly with a slight smile.
"Don't get ahead of yourself," said Ella as she slapped the back of his head.
"Hey, you're lucky these fox beasts are on top of me"
The two of them began to laugh as she sat beside Lex and also began playing with the fox beasts.
Within minutes, more and more fox beasts began swarming where they sat and also wanted to play around with them, but so many strong beasts in one area wasn't such a good idea.
Despite their small size, they weren't to be underestimated and Lex grabbed Ella's hand before taking her out of the Portable Sub-Dimension with him.
"We can use this time to go around the continent and relax," said Lex as they appeared on a warm part of the continent where a large house formed of rock was found along with a large pool.
The structure was surrounded by walls and Lex had previously formed this area within a matter of minutes using his Land Elemental Energy Transformation to do so.
Lex had also gained the capability to use the Water Elemental Energy Transformation, which would be very useful when travelling to the next continent over water.
He had also made sure to train in the use of the Fire Elemental Energy Trasnofmation to increase his power and skill while using his Hell Blaze Flame, which he could still only draw and control a small amount of.
Ella was impressed by the scenery and there was even a nice flower bed and Lex had gotten the Earth Leader to furnish and look after the place, but had forgotten all about it and never used it.
After he left the continent, he left it for the Earth Leader to use as a holiday home, but wanted to use it before he left the continent.
Entering the large house, the inside was simply, but nicely decorated and set up, just like Lex had requested and it was stocked with large amounts of food that were refrigerated and kept fresh using arrays.
"Let's eat, then maybe we can go for a swim," said Lex as he gave her a cheeky wink.
"Do you even know how to swim?" asked Ella as she blushed slightly, imagining herself dressed in swimwear with Lex.
"Well I learnt how to in my past reality and although I haven't done it first hand, am sure I can" stated Lex confidently.
He had thousands of manuals stored within his mind and with all the things he was able to do, swimming wasn't one that he was worried about not being able to do.
Lex sat down and ate with Ella while flirting and joking around with her, and since they were alone, they could act more freely and they soon overcame the slight awkwardness and nervousness that they were previously feeling.
They ate their fill of delicious delicacies that the Earth Leader had left there for them and quickly digested and absorbed the benefits of the food.
"See you in the pool," said Lex before dashing away and jumping high into the air.
In mid-air, he took off his shirt and revealed his chiselled and tempered body as he dived into the deep and large pool that he himself had created and filled up.
Ella was trying to stay calm, but when it came to things between her and Lex, she would easily get flustered despite her power, knowledge and intelligence.
"What's the matter, can poor Ella not swim" joked Lex.
"You..."
She was too shy to wear swimwear around Lex and would always be mostly covered in robes as she began to launch orbs of energy towards Lex.
Ella knew that Lex could easily block or dodge her attacks with his current power and even if they landed on him, they wouldn't damage his powerful Elemental Body, but she was shocked to see that he stayed in the water despite the orbs of energy flying towards him.
He closed his eyes and in the split second that he had before the orbs of energy hit him, Lex activated the Water Elemental Energy Transformation.
Lex had already been preparing the Water Elemental Energy Transformation from before, otherwise, he wouldn't have had enough time to activate it, and in that instant, he became one with the water and water energy all around him.
"He, let's see if any of your attacks can hit me as I am now. I'm going to teach you a lesson not to underestimate me" mumbled Lex to himself as he gave Ella a confident and playful smile.
Seeing his expression, she began pouring more energy into the orbs that she flung towards Lex and although it was meant to be a relaxed day, it seemed that sparring was inevitable.
