Hours passed slowly, and after two days, all the half-demons and half-wyverns had already awakened. Their minds remained tense and alert due to the desperate fight for their lives that they had waged. However, as soon as they realized where they were, they became extremely confused. This place looked nothing like the abyss.
Everything was strangely calm, and a gentle breeze flowed through the environment. It seemed like they were on a gigantic plain, with the land covered by a thin green layer radiating life and energy. Looking around, a single tall tree stood out, surrounded by thick vegetation. They felt no danger, no sign of Yin or the endless infernal laws that characterized the abyss.
It was only when everyone gathered that Almin calmly recounted everything that happened from his perspective. Everyone was stunned. Was this the realm of the seas? Upon hearing that everything had changed, probably due to the actions of the whale, they all sighed in admiration, and all doubts dissipated.
"Exactly two days ago, this place was a dry and lifeless land. Then, all this green vegetation grew rapidly. I checked everywhere; there are no more threatening forms of life or danger here. We can relax and wait for Goku to wake up," Almin said softly, nodding towards the only prominent location.
Everyone felt that all the natural energy in this place emanated from that area near the tree, so they just nodded, knowing that the divine being was there, silently recovering.
Soon, they focused on themselves. Those with dragon blood felt their whole bodies and scales pulsating with unparalleled power. After this tribulation, their bloodlines became so dense that they seemed to have been reborn in new bodies. All internal and external wounds were completely regenerated as if they were nothing.

As for the half-demons, they still had visible wounds externally. However, internally, everything was surprisingly healed, as if they had only undergone a long and exhausting physical training, not a bloody battle where two-thirds of them died. Currently, their senses and techniques had become so sharp that they were like sheathed blades, ready to cut and divide anything in their path.
Both clans just sighed with sorrow, remembering all the dead, but the cultivation world was like that, life as fleeting as day and night. So, they accepted that they now carried the weight and the hopes of those who had fallen and should move forward.
They now, despite being mixed-blood, felt that they would not lose to any demon in the same realm as them. The image of the sacred being came to the minds of both clans and quickly, the will to thank for everything sprouted in all of them. Soon, their time was spent building small round monuments, and they also did not forget to place something smaller with a soft and round face on the shoulders of the figure.
On the third day, Calirer and Runula woke up recovered. Langrum also woke up, but her recovery was only external; her Yang was depleted, and she woke up demanding more pills from Almin.
Almin said that his herbs had run out, but he tried planting some in the soil of this place, and they seemed to be growing rapidly in a surprising way. Maybe in a week, he could have something to use.
Langrum just snorted, complaining that the level of the pills almost had no effect on her; as she spoke, she glanced sideways at Loeus, who watched everything innocently, not understanding why she was looking at him.
Almin, even being inattentive to these things, seemed to grasp Langrum’s intentions. He remembered his life in another universe, where the one who would become his wife spent almost ten years investing, for him to finally realize that she liked him.
She was much... much older, but she maintained a youthful appearance thanks to cultivation. They lived together for over twenty years until she died of old age. If he hadn’t been so stupid, they could have lived together for much longer. Now, having mentally hundreds of years and seeing a similar situation, he had to say something, so he murmured directly into Langrum’s mind.
’He seems to have the same problem as me. If you keep being subtle, he won’t take another step. Besides, he must just think that you love him as a disciple and feel like garbage for thinking weird things about you... and ridiculous, I know. But our minds work in a strange way. Maybe it’s because of a lack of confidence...’
Langrum just snorted incredulously. She was trying to build a real relationship for the first time in her life. For that, she compelled herself not to force anything; she wanted Loeus to do something, but even after a few light advances, he seemed only to try to keep even more distance and avoid looking directly at her.
After a while, Runula and Calirer wanted to see the whale, concerned. However, Almin stopped them at all costs; the whale and Ruri, when alone, seemed not to adhere to any common sense. The sight of a giant being and a much smaller girl than him was too strong to be interpreted correctly...
After another day, Ruri finally woke up, but the whale continued sleeping. She met everyone, reassuring them, and then returned to her master as if she felt they should stay together.
They slept almost the entire day; the whale’s physical body was already recovered, but their souls, which were on the verge, were slowly recovering with Ruri’s help.
A week later, Ruri woke up and, after eating, sat watching her master’s sleeping face. She felt his breath up close, with her head resting on his belly, and after some time, her gaze became a little shaky.
Ruri then crawled gently towards him, and their faces became so close that she felt his breath on her face.
Her heart began to beat violently, and her face turned red, but she refused to step back and moved forward slowly. It was at that moment that they opened their eyes, making her jump back and fall to the ground.
Alm and Bruno sat calmly while saying: "There is no need to look so close. I’m not dying yet."
They were two separate beings again, and both souls were at 60%. They had recovered quite a bit, and they could use their souls a bit if they were careful; all thanks to Ruri. Physically, they were almost recovered; only internally, their meridians were a bit cracked. It would be better to wait a day for them to recover naturally.
So, in the face of Ruri’s firm gaze in their direction, they turned to her gently and spoke. "Today, you turn 14. You’ve grown quite a bit."
A smile blossomed on her face, and then they continued. "Since we arrived in the abyss, everything has been very complicated and hectic; there was no time to prepare any gifts."
Ruri shook her head without hesitation. "Master gives me everything I want and always stays by my side. That’s already the greatest gift of all."
The whale sighed, and their gazes met for a few seconds. Then Alm and Bruno looked closely at that face... it definitely didn’t look like a 14-year-old girl. She was already one meter sixty, and her beauty made her exude a feminine presence that stood out wherever she was.
A slight blush appeared on her face at that look. Then the whale sighed even more; before, she used to be proud to show that she had grown... now she felt embarrassed with them measuring her. Definitely, that sweet little girl had changed in every way.
"Hm... it seems that these clothes I made a year ago no longer suit you. It was supposed to be something cute for a young girl, but now, in a year, you seem to have aged three." The whale spoke lightly. Ruri nodded awkwardly but smiled from ear to ear.
"I can make some adjustments; there’s plenty left from last time." He looked gently, then looked even more penetratingly at her, seeming to take her measurements with his gaze and nodding.
Ruri immediately caught his gaze, and in an instant, something crossed her mind, leading her to murmur timidly, "Um... it’s a very tight space... and it’s important to measure correctly..."
Turning her back, she proceeded calmly to open the front of her clothes. Carefully, she inserted her hand through the fabrics, freeing and removing what covered and squeezed inside.
The whale narrowed his eyes, and Ruri, after adjusting her clothes again, slowly turned, casting a discreet glance at him. However, upon realizing that he was simply observing her impassively, without any reaction other than a slightly raised eyebrow, she felt a frustration she herself didn’t fully understand. Even so, this situation was too much for her, so she quickly lowered her head, her face completely flushed.
Alm and Bruno scoffed. To them, Ruri was still just a child trying to act more mature than she really was. She believed they still had a bit of the old Denil inside them, which was why she provoked them, as if she were seeking some kind of reaction. But even Denil, with all his past, would have chosen to wait. This behavior of hers was a warning sign. In the Divinestone Clan, Ruri had seen and experienced far too much for her age, and it had clearly distorted her perception of certain relationships.
They focused on the situation—she was indeed growing too quickly, physically.
"I got it..." the whale muttered, visibly uncomfortable as he watched the volume that rapidly multiplied in her bust. Now, two well-defined and firm twin mounds were already evident and seemed destined to grow even more. It was at that moment Bruno remembered the knowledge from the earth and smiled. "The fat on your chest is growing fast. Perhaps you should eat less."
Ruri’s face immediately contorted. "F-Fat...?"
Bruno nodded. "If they continue to grow, that’s due to the concentration of fat and breast tissue. I’m not kidding; the amount of fat on a woman’s breast can go over 50% of the total volume, especially on those with bigger ones. Be careful, as it might impair your movements in the future."
Ruri was speechless. They were seeing her development and all they could think was about the fat inside? "H-Hmph! A fat master can only think about fat everywhere."
"Hahaha!" Bruno laughed, and Alm just snorted in their minds.
"I’ll make some adjustments, and when we get back, I’ll arrange something more suitable for you to wear. Childish things will seem out of place now," the whale concluded with a final after calming down. "You can take everything off now; I’ll start working on it while I recover completely."
A muffled groan escaped Ruri, then her heart pounded fervently, and her gaze froze. Her anger from the fat comment disappeared again. The whale just stared at her expressionlessly; seconds passed, leaving her speechless before that penetrating look.
"I... I’ll be back in an instant!" Ruri exclaimed quickly, turning around and running with awkward steps.
The whale saw Ruri leaving his field of view and waved contentedly. ’Great, at least she didn’t learn anything bad from Langrum.’ Alm said coldly.
Even though Alm and Bruno preferred to avoid or remain indifferent to such matters, they couldn’t stay ignorant of Ruri’s feelings and intentions. They held onto the hope that she was just young, assuming her emotions were fleeting. After all, as one matures, feelings naturally evolve or fade away.
However, if she became too assertive, things could deteriorate quickly, and they would be forced to take action, likely in a negative way.
’Thank God she’s not that bold. We can keep things healthy by not doing anything. Over time, she’ll grow up and meet other people, and everything should be fine,’ Bruno commented thoughtfully.
During this moment, both kept their eyes in the direction where Ruri was running. And in them, only a premonitory sensation arose in their minds, indicating that things wouldn’t stay like this for long.
