. . . . . After about forty minutes Jae Cha back. “Forgive me for the delay sir,” “It’s alright,” “Here is what you asked for,” she said and gave him a storage ring. “Forgive for not being able to walk you out. I have to attend to another client. But I have someone ready to walk you out,” “Okay, Jiu let’s go. It was nice doing business with you. Hope we can continue to do more,” “Yes of course sir,” Huno and Jiu left the office and the lady who had brought them here received them and showed them the way out. . . . “Where to next sir?” “Your home land,” “That would not be possible sir. My homeland is outside the city and considering the crowd trying to get into the city, I would not be able to meet up with the time my master gave,” “Tell your master I would give him one platinum pill to have you for the full day,” Jiu nodded and brought the cube out again. After a while he nodded at Huno. “Master agrees,” “Let’s go then,” The chariot sta
“How good is a Merling physique for cultivation,” “When compared to the average human you can say it is about three to six times better. It depends on the Meling,” “Okay. So if they have enough resources their cultivation will be fast,” “Yeah, here is something most buyers don’t know. Melings require a little more energy than humans for cultivation. Though it isn’t of much difference but it can make ones money and resources go dry,” “Haha, with the resources I have, it would be hard for it to go dry,” Huno thought and laughed. “So what amount of resources did your master spend to get you to your current realm,” “Em, if I remember correctly my master spent close to, if not more than, two hundred million king crystals, for me to reach the second petal,” Huno eyes widened and his mouth drop opened. “For real?” “I’m kidding sir. I was bought at the second petal,” “Ah, haha,” Huno held his chest and laughed. “Don’t do that again. I almost had a heart attack,” Huno
“Queen?” Hiroshi asked. “If I can find the queen and bring her of your body, the others will follow. But the issue is finding the queen,” Huno thought. “Where in your body did you feel your energy being eaten the most?” “My core,” “Thought as much. Stand up,” Huno said. “Steel yourself, a battle might break out,” They both stood up and Huno noticed the crowd around him. Many of the Melings were watching from a distance. “You guys should stepped out of the circle. Having you on it consumes a lot of energy,” Huno said. “Some of you are absorbing it unknowingly,” “Oh, we are sorry,” everyone stepped back. Huno turned to Hiroshi and placed his hands on Hiroshi’s abdomen. He urged his energy and poured it into Hiroshi’s body. Hiroshi’s entire body turned white just like Huno’s. Hiroshi watched as the energy covered his entire body and as the insects fed on it. He followed Huno’s divine sense to his core region. Right there were five big insects and several smaller ones,
The ball floated to Zhu Xian and then little holograms appeared above it. In it was a small blurry figure that looked like Huno and five white creatures. The holograms changed and this time, it was Huno and one of the creature. It had its wings spread out and was glaring at Huno. It changed again and this time the creature had his leg in Huno’s chest. “Interesting,” “Hey junior are you hearing me. I want to buy her. You can’t buy everyone of them,” The man snapped Huno back. The holograms fascinated him. This was the first time seeing something like this. “Is there a law that says I can’t buy as many as I want?” “Don’t make me laugh. You don’t have the money to buy them,” “Yes I don’t have the money but I have the capacity,” ~They are done. I’m going in now~ “Was that?” Zhu Xian looked at Tan Xiang. He was still going through the holograms when he heard a buzz. Tan Xiang smiled at him and said nothing. ~Go in~ Huno said and turned to Hiroshi. “We are done,” “
With Huno leading the way the fourteen of them left the hall. “Is something wrong sir?” Jiu asked. “A man’s wealth attract trouble. I have a feeling once we leave the merchant city we would be hunted. But if we stay too long we wouldn’t be able to leave,” Huno said. There was no need for the receipt to identify what he used to pay. Only one thing crossed his mind when he saw the receipt, trouble!“I see, all of you be ready for anything. And make haste with your movements,” Hiroshi ordered. The others nodded at him and moved closer to Huno. Huno liked the way Hiroshi took charge but he had other thoughts on his mind. They went through the portal and arrived at the other side. “Hold,” one of the men said and walked up to them. Huno handed him the jade slip. He went through it and his brows raised. He looked out the Melings and counted them and after a while he stepped aside. “You are free to go,” Huno nodded and he and the others left the building. The walked as f
Huno’s group continued until they reached the gate to the inner city. Shen Shillong nodded at the guards and showed them a token. The guards nodded and ignored them. They went through and took to the sky. Huno noticed there was an array covering the inner city. Unlike the outer city the inner city was less crowd. It’s buildings were properly planned and arranged. They were beautifully built and designed. Lots of carriages and chaises could be seen moving about on the streets. And the pedestrians were well dressed and unlike the outer city were no one paid them any attention, here people stared at them with sharp, piercing gazes. Huno felt awkward but kept going. The more they moved forward the the lesser the buildings they saw and the finer they became. From neatly arranged buildings to large manors and well decorated environment. And the further they went the larger the manors become. Soon Shen Shillong stopped in front of a big gate. The guards opened the gate without a w
“Haha! And now they are making you go crazy. I bet they are more attractive than me,” Huno frowned at her. “Absolutely not. I wouldn’t be here if they were,” “Yeah right,” Huno exhaled and turned to the door. “I’m sorry for disturbing your cultivation,” “Hey! Where are you going? Don’t even dare leave. If you take one more step just forget about me,” Huno’s leg froze in the air. “First you buy two ladies and then get thoughts because of them. After that, you interrupted my cultivation with useless excuses, dampened my spirit and now you are angry because I teased you. Tell me, which one of us should be angry!?” Elta yelled. Huno turned to her. She glared at him. When their eyes met she looked away, with anger written all over her face. “I’m sorry,” “Hmph,” “I won’t do it again,” “Won’t do what exactly?” “Hmm,” Huno thought. “Husband, understand, okay? I’m not angry that you came to me or disturb my cultivation. In fact I’m happy you did, because it mean
Shen Yu looked and found Shen Tiang below looking at them. “Oh we’ve arrived. Greetings patriarch,” “Junior greets patriarch,” “You two are welcome,” Huno and Shen Yu landed in the compound the patriarch was in. The five behind followed a few distance behind. “What brings you two here so early?” “Junior brother wanted to talk to you,” Shen Yu replied. She turned to Huno. “I’ll leave now. Meet me outside,” “Senior sister can stay,” Huno said and bowed to Shen Tiang. “Patriarch, is it possible to call off the wedding tomorrow?” Shen Tiang and Shen Yu frowned. “Why?” “I found out the one being forced to get married was a subordinate of mine,” “What do you mean being forced?” “The lady accepted to marry the young master,” Shen Yu said. “Because her child was held captive,” “What!?” Shen Tiang yelled. “Shen Shiang get over here now!” he roared. He was greeted by dead silence. No one answered but three streak of light flew over. One was Shen Chi, the secon
Huno appeared inside a room. In it Sarai who sat beside an unconscious Wu Yi, held a napkin. With it she wiped Wu Yi’s body. His heart ached at the sight.“Mom,” Huno called out and Sarai paused. When she looked behind, her eyes widened. Tears flowed down her eyes and weak sobs escaped her. Huno walked up to her and embraced.“You are back… I’m… I’m so sorry…”“It’s not your fault mom,” Huno interrupted. “It’s not your fault.”“Ah!” she cried her heart out in his arm.“It’s alright, everything is gonna be okay,” said Huno, embracing her more.“But Yi’er won’t wake up. The alchemist said there’s nothing they can do,” she said gripping his shirt. “I’m sorry.”“There’s something I can do, so relax mom. Yi’er is going to wake up,” Huno assured her. “I’m here now. Everything is going to be alright.”“There’s something you can do?” Sarai asked with tears still running down.“Yes.” Huno nodded. He disengaged himself from her. “Give me a second,” he added.Sarai nodded and watched him move to
“Dear, dear,” said Lee Wei who arrived behind her. He patted her shoulders and added. “She’s alive and that’s all that matters.”Xue Li faced him and nodded. Her embrace loosen a bit. Luna pulled out and flashed her a bright smile. “You are right husband,” Xue Li said.“Elder brother Wei, Sis Li, brother Chiro, I missed you all,” one of the ladies called out. Luna gave way for her and she hugged Xue Li.“You are… Saint?” Xue Li asked.“Yes,” the lady nodded. “Husband, brought me a body.”“Husband!” Chiro coughed. He and everyone else turned to Huno with questions written on their faces.Lili eyes twitched while she faced him. Lin Si cleared her throat while Lu Yal and Lu Yan stared confused.“A lot happened, we’ll explain,” Luna said getting everyone’s attention. “But first…”She bowed to Lin Si, hands cupped. “Greetings second mom,” she said.Lin Si looked at her. “I’m Luna, Huno’s first wife and I pay my respect,” Luna said.“Raise your head…”“Not yet mom,” Luna interrupted. “I kno
Without a word she shot forward. No one among them saw where she went next. She moved faster than anything they’ve ever seen.“Huh?”“Ah!”With every gasp, every scream, a head flew or a body got divided into two. People lost their life before they even realized it. Lin Si watched the scene in awe. Something within her ignited. She couldn’t explain it nor could she describe it. However, she knew she had to meet the real Lin Si quick. The onslaught before her made her blood boil.She turned to Luyi and said. “Tell her I need to get back to my main body. It’s urgent.”“Huh? Yes ma’am,” Luyi said and yelled, “mom, madam needs to get to her real body.”Fuyi halted before a man, her sword stopping inches away from his neck. He sighed quietly as she turned to Luyi’s direction. The man tried to leave quietly, but she swung her hand, uprooting his life in a slash. She took a deep breath and sighed before she flew towards Lin Si. The orders of Huno’s mother came before her desire to kill.***
***“Is there any need to continue this pointless war, Lin Si?” a man roared while striking the sword in his hand. His torn garment had blood stains on it from the ugly wounds he had all over his body. He looked terrible but his opponent looked worse. “Surrender, and your city will remain intact, I promise.”The woman he spoke to, Lin Si, turned a deaf ear to his words. She couldn’t believe him, not in a million years. Lin Si had only one intention, kill him and end this war.She let out a loud shriek and transformed to an eagle. Flames rushed out of her mouth at him.“You are a monster race,” he frowned as he blocked the flames. His frown grew intense when he found three Lin Si staring at him. “You think two fakes will prevent me from pinpointing you.”He struck at the Lin Si to the left. However, she dodged while the others attacked.“Tch,” the man tsk. “How come the attacks of the fakes are real?” he thought.He could barely block their combined attacks. “It’s as if they can all re
He disengaged, stared at her and smiled. She had a black and white dress on, her hair flawlessly white and eyes blue just as his own.Huno kissed her lips, they were as soft as he remembered. Well, he couldn’t really remember how soft they used to feel.“How’s junior sister Saint?” Luna asked him.“She’s possessing the body I brought,” he replied her with a smile, then took her hand. “Let’s go see.”Their surroundings changed, they had returned to the house. The duo watched quietly and made sure they did not interrupt her.“Huno,” Shinari’s voice sounded in his head.“Huh?”“Are you close to Melina’s body?” she asked him.“Yeah why?”“Open a portal towards it,” she instructed him.“Is something wrong?”“Who are you talking to?” Luna asked.“Shinari, the world spirit of my world in Cosmo,” Huno replied.“Nothing is wrong, just do it,” Shinari replied.“Alright.”A portal appeared before him and Luna. Nearly instantaneously, a green light shot out of it and entered the body on the floor
“Everyone is gone to where?” Huno frowned.“To the Dou realm, Lin Si took them away,” Saint said.“Everyone left you?” Huno’s frown turned to a sad face.“No, I kicked them out. They didn’t want to go,” Saint replied. “It’s not their fault I’m stuck here. I’ve made peace with fate. Everyone is meant to leave me one day.”“Not if I have something to say about it,” Huno said. “I brought a body for you… why are you laughing?”“Come on Huno, you think in all my years alive, I haven’t tried possessing a body?” Saint asked.“Oh, it didn’t work?”“I tried one thousand one hundred and sixty seven times. Every time the body I tried to possess disintegrated before I got to complete the process,” Saint replied with a sigh.“Hmm, it wouldn’t hurt to try again,” Huno said with an encouraging smile.“Alright.” Saint rolled her eyes at him then asked. “Where’s the body?”Huno stretched his hand out and a body appeared on it. With it’s appearance came a terrifying aura. Huno felt his body go numb. Th
~Two Days Later~~BOOM!!!~ The dark sky roared and expressed its anger. Milto, the one who had caused its rage, sat quietly underneath, preparing to face it. Afar off to the south, watching him were the Melings and several others. To the east were a group of creatures he knew not off and to the west were more creatures. Unbeknown to him, Huno appeared in the Melings camp.“Husband,” Bing Ya called out. He kissed her forehead and turned to Elta, who smiled at him. He returned the smile and gave her a kiss on her forehead.“Welcome,” “Is everyone here?” Huno asked.“Just the pseudo kings and above,” Elta replied. “Okay. Greetings third mom,”“Oh, you finally noticed me,” Bing Yu said with a smile. “I’m sorry,”“It’s alright. Who are they by the way?” Bing Yu tilted her head towards the creatures afar off. “Subordinates of a few friends. They were brought to watch,”“I see,” “Allow me to step away for a while,” Huno said.“Okay,” “Ladies, I’ll be
~A Few Weeks Later~ “Mhm, Mhmm,”“You are up?” Luna’s voice sounded. Huno turned to her and closed his eyes while muttering. “Heaven and earth release,” His body shone slightly, and his realm dropped slowly. “Thank you,”“For?” “Caring about Elta and Bing Ya, and taking the time to worry about their insecurities,” Luna’s eyes widened and shone like a touch. “You heard us that day!” “Yeah. I woke up and slept back several times. The recoil of borrowing that power took a toil on me. I might need to sleep for a few weeks. My muscles are still a bit strained,”“Pease forgive me, I didn’t mean to hide…” “I have no concerns of your past sweetie. I care for our present and our future,”“But… I…” “You don’t have to worry sweetie, I’m not angry. And if there’s anything you feel I should know, or there’s any problem we need to work on, you can let me know when you are ready,”“Thanks,” Luna flew to his side and kissed him. “To be honest, there’s not much problem.
... “We are here,” Huno said staring down at the ice fortress beneath them. “Thank you,”“Are these your subordinates? They look different from humans,” Golden crow said looking at those that had flew out to greet them. Several third petals had flew out to face them. Seeing Huno, their expressions had changed. They were greatly relieved.“It seems, they were ready to die while biting a bit of our flesh. Haha,” “Yes, those are my subordinates. They are Melings, they aren’t human,”“There are several of them. Their number is quite large. Do you want to take them over to the Fallen world?” Qiong Qi asked.“That would take months,” Golden crow said. “Just a few days. I need to rest a bit so we won’t be moving immediately,” Huno replied. “I haven’t rested properly since my resurrection,”“Okay,” Huno turned to the third petals. “Prepare a resting place for the various seniors,”“Yes sir,” Izu responded.“Well, we too need to rest, I guess,” Golden crow said. Huno
