It didn't take teddy too long to get eight applications turns in. So Teddy decided to go to the mountains right outside of the city.
There he planned to meditate and cultivate. He figured it would be several hours before his mother would come to pick him up.
As he found a nice quiet place to cultivate the spirit spoke to him.
"I can feel that there is a strong Crystal of Divine Ice nearby. If you can successfully cultivate this crystal, the abilities that you will gain will make you even more formidable. Combining that with your lightning attack, you may even become unstoppable."
Teddy's eyes grew wide and he started to look for this ice crystal. After about fifteen minutes he found it. It felt cold to the touch.
The spirit instructed him how to use his Devine Heavenly Cultivation Arts to absorb the crystal bit by bit.
After cultivating for about an hour, the Crystal of Divine Ice was fully absorbed. Teddy could feel a change in his body. It was almost as if he had become partially immune to cold.
Also when he started to circulate his spiritual energy, he could form various ice shapes. He found he could even form ice weapons.
He was very satisfied. After practicing for a little bit he heard footsteps approaching.
Two younger women and one older woman stepped out from the bushes. The three women could see ice shards stuck in trees all over the place.
The two younger women were Mirella and Seraphine. Teddy had no idea who the older woman was.
Seraphine smiled and said, "Teddy, this is High Priestess Thalindra Moonshadow. She is the head of our sect."
Thalindra bowed slightly and said, "It's an honor to meet you master cultivator. We have not met someone of your caliber since my old partner passed away."
Teddy looked confusingly at her and asked, "Partner? Don't you mean husband?"
Thalindra shook her head as she responded, "No. Our sect does believe in dual cultivating but we do not marry our cultivators. Also in most cases, once a cultivation partner is selected, if that partner dies we will not take on another."
She paused for amendment and thought of something.
"I guess you could consider it similar to marriage but we are not married to our parter."
Teddy nodded his head. But before you can say anymore Thalindra spoke some more.
"I hear you have taken Mirella as a cultivation partner. Since she had already lost her virgin yin energy to that despicable excuse of a human being, you cannot benefit in your cultivation from this. However you still get some gains through dual cultivation with her."
Thalindra looked at Seraphine and said to Teddy, "Seraphine here has never known a man. And thus by becoming dual cultivators with her you can gain from her virgin yin energy. That's why I sent them both to you. Mirella needs cultivation partner and Seraphine could help you in your cultivation."
She looked back at Teddy as she finished saying, "So by being intimate with Mirella, that means you have accepted our sects alliance proposal. These two women will follow you everywhere. Also they already have a place to live so if you want you could move in. I hear you're already living with your parents so this would give you a good excuse to move out."
As Teddy stared at Mirella and Seraphine, two women did blush however Mirella didn't seem nearly as shy as her sister Seraphine.
"Think I'll take you up on that offer. I'm a grown man, though a bit ignorant, I am still a grown man. Thus I can't live under my parents roof forever."
Teddy may have said this to the three women, but he still was nervous. He is still learning what it means to be a grown man. He don't even know what his parents will think.
Thalindra nodded her head in satisfaction. She looked at the two women her eyes saying everything needed. She bid them farewell and left.
Now Teddy was face to face with two gorgeous women. One he had been intimate with any other, after learning what sex was, he was hoping for the same from her.
Seraphine could see the desire in his eyes and blushed fiercely.
"What, what's on your mind?"
Teddy struck his head and respond, "It's nothing."
Seraphine didn't seem convinced but she decided to drop the subject for now.
Teddy turn to Mirella and said, "My parents believe in a monogamous relationship. They would not approve of me being with two women let alone two sisters. So we will tell them I'm moving in with you and that you and your family helped me when I was lost. It will create a believable backstory on why I would move in with you."
Mirella smiled widely. This man was very cunning. She can tell things are going to be interesting in the future.
Before Teddy's mother could pick him up, Teddy had walked through the door of his parents house with a woman in his arms. This woman was none other than Mirella.
"Mom, Dad, this is Mirella. I didn't say anything before because she wasn't ready. However she's my girlfriend. When I was turn off that cliff she and her family had found me. They took care of me and brought me back to health. The cliff I was thrown off was so far away that they did not know where I was from. When they finally found out they helped me reunite with you two."
Teddy paused for a moment to let his words sink in to his parents. The more that they would think about it the more they would believe it.
"She has got a place in the city. I'm going to move in with her and start my new job tomorrow. I just wanted you two meet her. This way you would not worry about me. I'll still be around and anytime you want to see me just give me a call. I'll step into my old bedroom and pack my things while you three talk."
He didn't even let his parents think about the clothes they had to buy him or the clothes that he showed up with. He walked off and Mirella got to talkin.
The distraction was just enough to wipe away all suspicions from his parents minds. It looks like it's going to work out perfectly.
When he walked back into the room with everything packed up his parents turned and looked at him. He could see that they were happy.
For his parents, it was as if their little boy had truly grown up. Of course this is all a front so his parents doesn't learn the truth behind it.
One day he will tell his parents what truly happened. But he hopes that that day will be far off.
Jeanette said, "Teddy, you have made me one proud mother. Then maybe one day you'll make me one proud grandmother."
Teddy's face turned as red as a cherry. How could his mother say such a thing?
Mirella on the other hand, flirtatiously nudged Teddy's hand. It was obvious that she liked this idea.
Teddy's father on the other hand had an incredulous look on his face. Any woman that would mother his grandchildren had to get his approval. And his son's girlfriend has yet to prove her worth.
Rodger has no idea if Mirella is it decent woman or a vixen. So he better not get any word that Teddy got this woman pregnant anytime soon.
Teddy saw the look on both his parents face. He knew it was time to make a hasty retreat before an argument broke out.
"Okay mom, okay dad, we'll be going now."
Before anyone could say anything else Teddy had pulled Mirella out of the house.
Later in Mirella's and Seraphine's house, Teddy could breathe easily now. He no longer has to worry about his parents worrying. However he may have just stirred up a hornet's nest with them.
At least his dad seems a bit dissatisfied. He figured that in time his dad might grow to accept Mirella. However he has no plans currently to introduce Seraphine to them.
He probably should have introduced Seraphine instead of Mirella. But he was only intimate with Mirella.
He knew his dad would be more accepting of Seraphine. But his relationship with her is a bit awkward. It be harder to sell the story to his parents with her.
Oh well, what's done is done. He looked at the sisters and could see that they were expecting him to say something.
"From now on the three of us will live and die together. I will cherish you both. One day maybe I'll be able to introduce both of you as my cultivation companions to my family. However right now they would not understand."
The sisters completely understood what Teddy was saying. Earlier, when Teddy and Mirella had gotten home, Mirella had told her about Teddy's parents.
Seraphine understood that they were traditionalist so she did not protest.
"Teddy, last night you were able to seal your packed with my sister. Tonight we should seal our pack."
Has she said this, Seraphine's face turned cherry red. But she wasn't going to take back a word. She really did want to be with Teddy.
