Tolly had a sweet dream, in which he still kept practicing the Lotus Prod. He practiced and practiced. Finally, he found out he could even push down the whole wall with his prod. He smiled when the wall was down.Yet, it was just a dream. when he woke up lying in his bed, he only discovered the same old holes in the wall.‘Oh, it’s only a dream,” said Tolly, “but I do hope I can become the most powerful cultivator in this world. I have to find out the other secret manual hidden in those unknowable places. Then I can make the best use of my Hidden Dragon system.”Tolly gradually got up and then freshened up. It was a new day.When he got out of his house, he discovered there were quite a few guards outside his house. He immediately realized that Jenny, his wife, had already asked Fanta Lord to send more guards to protect him.“Well, my wife is so kind to me,” whispered Toly, “I’m so happy to have such a wonderful wife.”The guards used to be coworkers of Tolly. Hearing Tolly’s words, t
The dead body was no one else but Luna’s grandma. Tolly was devastated. Since Tolly met her, she had always been kind to her. Though they did not spend many hours together, he knew Luna’s grandma always liked him.The thought of never being able to save her in time brought tears to Tolly’s eyes. He couldn’t believe that Luna’s beloved grandma would be gone this way. Tolly was filled with sadness and grief at the loss of Luna’s grandma and the short memories they had shared together.Tolly wiped the tears away from his eyes. After that, he had to check the whole cottage carefully since he did not want anything bad that would happen to Luna.He immediately went to check the kitchen and the living room, but he didn’t find any trace of Luna. He dashed to the bedroom and discovered to his surprise that Luna was lying on the bed with a small mattress, tied to the columns of the bed.She looked rather dazed, staring at the ceiling desperately. At the same time, her face flamed red to her ear
Tolly slept for about a few hours before he opened his eyes again. As he slowly came to, he saw a few dishes on the little table near the bed. They smelled good and the aroma wafted in the room, tempting Tolly to wake up and investigate further. He sat up in bed, rubbing his eyes and trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. Looking at the dishes, he felt a sense of nostalgia engulfed him. He remembered back on earth his mom had often cooked delicious food for him when he had been a child. Needless to say, these dishes were cooked by Luna, who was apparently busy with cooking while he was asleep. Tolly’s stomach grumbled at the thought of the food. He quickly reached for one of the dishes with his hand directly. When he did so, Luna suddenly came in. “Hi, what are you doing, Tolly?” said Luna, pretending to be angry, “I’ve brought you the knife and fork. See, I’ve cooked some beef as well as some steak for you. I know that after having done that thing, it must have consumed a l
After walking for a few hours, Tolly arrived at the Fanta Mansion. He immediately went to look for Jenny. Yet, he met the guard called Derek.“Wow, you are finally back, my master,” said Derek excitedly, “We thought you were dead.”“How can it be possible?” said Tolly, “If there’s one thing I’m known for, it must be my ability to get good luck.”Derek smiled, “I was also lucky last time that bastard came to kill you. He just knocked me to unconsciousness and didn’t kill me. When I woke up, I discovered the assassin was killed in your house. I was astonished. Yet, we couldn’t find any trace of you. That was why we thought you were dead.”As he recounted what had happened, Jenny suddenly showed up and walked closer to Tolly in surprise, “Where did you go, Tolly? We’re asking nearly all the servants and guards to look for you. Yet, we just couldn’t find you.”“You know, I went to look for more clues about the guy who came to kill me,” Tolly lied, quickly averting the topic by asking, “H
“Oh, really?” said Jenny with a smile, continuing to read the novel happily, “Your writing is beautiful, and the characters are so well-developed and relatable.”“I’m flattered. I’m glad you like it. why don’t we read it together?” said Tolly with a cheeky grin, coming closer to her and slumping down in the chair beside her.Jenny frowned, subconsciously keeping some distance between them. The scent from her was so good that Tolly was immediately mesmerized by it. He instinctively leaned closer to her.As he was going to talk to her again, suddenly the carriage came to a halt.“What’s going on?” asked Jenny in surprise.“There are quite a few people standing in our way, Dear Fanta Miss,” said the coachman.“Who are they?” asked Jenny again.“I don’t know, Dear Fanta Miss,” said the coachman, “let me ask them.”Before he could open his mouth, the guard Derek stopped those people and asked,“Who on earth are you? Do you know what you’re doing? This is a carriage from Fanta Mansion. If y
Jenny moved with the grace of a beautiful dancer, effortlessly avoiding the attacks from the assassins and striking back with deadly accuracy by sending more snowflake slashes toward the assassins. Instantly, the new assassins were hit down on the ground, moaning in pain. When the strongest assassin Tiger found that Jenny and Tolly were so powerful, he immediately called out for help. Once again, he placed his left forefinger into his mouth and made a whistle with it. This time, his backup assassins all came out toward Tolly and Jenny. “Holy shit, we are ambushed by them,” exclaimed Tolly. As the assassin closed in, it seemed like all hope was lost for Tolly and Jenny. Just when they thought they were doomed, a woman with black pantyhose appeared out of nowhere. The woman was in her thirties or forties, looking quite beautiful. Yet, apparently, the black pantyhose she was wearing looked quite odd since it was just too modern. Tolly wondered where she got it since it was something
“Okay, I’ll read it now,” said Ms. Gorgon, starting to read the novel with great interest.As she was concentrating her mind on reading the novel, she would giggle sometimes when she came across something funny.In order not to interrupt her, Tolly and Jenny kept silent.A few moments later, they arrived at the Fanta Academy.Fanta Academy was a prestigious institution located on the planet Goldearth, known for its rigorous cultivation training program. The school was dedicated to producing the most powerful cultivators in the galaxy and attracts top talent from all corners of Goldearth.Students at Fanta Academy would undergo intensive physical and mental conditioning, learning advanced techniques and theories of cultivation in order to unlock their full potential. The academy's distinguished faculty and state-of-the-art facilities made it the premier destination for aspiring cultivators looking to hone their skills and reach the pinnacle of their discipline.At Fanta Academy, studen
Just then, Ms. Gorgon appeared and walked into the classroom.“Everyone, I’d like to introduce to you your new math teacher,” said Ms. Gorgon, “I hope all of you can show your respect to him.”“No,” said Larry, “he’s not our teacher. He is just a student here. I don’t think he’s qualified to be our math teacher unless he can prove his own ability.”“I’ve already assessed his ability,” said Ms. Gorgon confidently, “there’s no problem for him to teach you the basics of math.”The students all looked at the new math teacher skeptically, unsure if they could trust Ms. Gorgon’s assessment. But despite their doubts, they decided to give him a chance and see how he performed in the classroom.Tolly, their new math teacher, however, was not intimidated by the students’ skepticism. He stood tall and confident, ready to prove his worth as a teacher.“I understand your concerns, Larry," he said, addressing the student who had spoken out against him. "But I can assure you that I am more than qual
As the ministers bickered like hens in a coop over the emperor's decree, the executioners were already tiptoeing out of the palace gates, blades glinting in the light. It was a race against time, for the prince's head was on the chopping block. Little did the executioners know, the prince was no ordinary mortal. Tolly had him under his protection. He suddenly asked General Addison, “Can you do me a favor?” “Of course, Your Highness”, said General Addison, ”I won’t allow these bastards to kill you no matter the cost.” “I’ve got a white feather in my pocket. Please take it out and burn it,” said Prince Hobart. “Okay, I’ll do it,” said General Addison. Without any delay, General Addison immediately got a white feather out of the pocket. Though not knowing what was the use of it, he realized it must be an important thing. Then he asked his men to bring him a torch. In a few seconds, the white feather was burnt into ashes. As Tolly rode on the horse with Princess Yana behind him, he
“Fate has brough us here to meet you, Princess Yana,” said General Logan Kline, determined to take Princess Yana back to the court,“Your Highness, by His Majesty’s order, I have come here to bring you back to the palace. Hundreds of officials have spoken on your behalf, and you need not worry.”“Don’t believe him,” said Tolly with a sneer, “Your father would not listen to those officials. Once you’re in the palace, you’ll be dangerous.”The princess’s eyes flickered with a mixture of fear and resignation.“I know very well that I cannot escape this great calamity,” she admitted, her voice filled with weariness, “I’m not afraid of death, but I am so tired from my journey that I can no longer walk. Would you be so kind as to let me ride on your horse?”General Logan Kline nodded without hesitation.“You may ride on my horse, Your Highness, and I will follow on foot,” he declared, his unwavering loyalty to the princess shining through his every word.Yet, once Princess Yana mounted the
“Okay, let’s go!” said Tolly.Before they started their journey, Tolly suddenly heard the clicking sounds in his bones. All the vital energy inside his body started to circulate. Tolly thought he probably broke through to a new level. With a flutter in his eyes, he quickly checked his status on the screen before his eyes.[Name: Hidden Dragon][Owner: Tolly Harmsworth][Level: 2 as a master-level cultivator][Talent for Cultivation: D level (Hidden Invincible Level)][Wrath Points: 3999][Exp Points: 2790][ Main Art: Lotus Technique, which can be hedged by the Six Sun Technique; Puppet Control Technique;][Current Guardians: Blue lightning bird, activated; Fire Phoenix, activated; Water Dragon, activated; Rock Roc, activated. ]He was glad to see that he was at level 2 as a master cultivator.“What are you looking at?” asked Princess Yana when she saw Tolly stare at something.“Nothing,” said Tolly with a smile, “let’s roll!”They quickly got out of the temple and decided to continue
It looked like the black cat's sharp claws loomed closer to Tolly's body. His heart was racing, but he didn't lose his composure. In a flash, he executed the Shadowy Lotus Move, saving Princess Yana from the cat's attack just in the nick of time. The black cat was stunned, its voice shaking with disbelief. "How do you know the Shadowy Lotus Move? It's an ancient art that has been lost for over a thousand years. Who are you?" it demanded. Tolly's lips curled into a sneer. He "My name is not something I care to share with a beast like you," retorted Tolly, his lips curling into a sneer, still holding the Princess in his arms. But as he caught a whiff of her alluring scent, it quickly turned him on. He had to put her down to avoid any embarrassment. "Go hide behind the statue," Tolly whispered to Princess Yana, his eyes locked on the witch in front of him. "I'll deal with this monster." “Hey, I’m not a monster,” said the cat in a furious voice. Instantly, the black’s anger boil ov
"You taught the people the ways of decency and honor," Princess Yana whispered reverently. "I am a descendant of the rose Dynasty, but my father, Emperor William, has brought shame to our name with his heinous crimes. I have fled his tyranny and seek refuge in your sacred temple for the night. If you protect me until dawn, I vow to rebuild this temple and enshrine your statue in gold."Tolly also followed suit. He knelt down before the statue and kowtowed three times. Instantly, he had flutters in his eyes.With a ding, he got a new notification on the screen before his eyes.[Detected a new secret manual here inside the temple. Would you like to get it?]Tolly was very excited because he did not expect that this was another unknowable place where a great secret manual was hidden.Without any thinking, he had a ‘yes’ notion in his mind and posed a question in his mind,“Where is the secret manual? How do I find it?”[Just under the cushion you're kneeling on.]It looked like his syste
Once alone, General Addison summoned his trusted general to discuss the situation. “General Paul Bailey and Logan Kline have come with the emperor’s official tally, demanding 4,000 flying horsemen to pursue the princes,” revealed General Adddison, “But we can’t spare our strongest warriors for this task. Select only the weakest, the elderly, and the injured. Let Geneal Paul Bailey and Longan Kline take them tomorrow.” The next morning, Geneal Paul Bailey and Longan Kline arrived to find their men looking as feeble as a mouse caught in a trap. The sorry sight of the stumbling and floundering army was enough to make them shake their heads in disbelief. But the Carlson brothers were already on their way, having traveled for two days with the young princes. Benji Frost knew they had come too far to turn back now, and they needed to take action. "Brother, we're in a bit of a pickle," he said to his brother Blair Frost . "We've got to spend some money to get out of this mess. But sellin
“You’re spot on, Minister Ross Russel,” nodded General Addison in agreement.The rest of the officials remained tight-lipped as the prince and the princess wept profusely. Benji Frost and Blair Frost ushed through the throngs of people with great fervor.“Emperor William is a malicious despot. By ordering the execution of his own children, he’s attempting to sever his own ancestral lineage, and by murdering his wife, he’s defied all ethical codes. We’ll escort the prince and the princess to their maternal grandfather Bill Washington and raise an army to depose him. This is nothing short of a rebellion.”Benji Frost hoisted Prince Hobart onto his shoulders and Blair Frost took charge of Princess Yana. They made their escape from the capital through the southern gate. Tolly, in disguise of Cloud River, was happy that he had two more helpers, though they did not decide to go to Fanta city yet.‘Perhaps I can go to see Bill Washington together with them first and then see what I can do th
“That monster has already taken his own wife's life, and now he seeks to spill the blood of his own flesh and blood. You're not safe here, my dear prince and princess. Seek refuge in the Fragrant Palace with Concubine Yvonne until a powerful minister can plead your case before the emperor. Only then will you be out of harm's way," she advised them, hoping to offer them a glimmer of hope in these dark times.“Go with me,” said Cloud River, “I think the Fragrant Palace is not safe, either. You know, the emperor has gone crazy!”Yet, they did not take his advice. Instead, the prince and the princess knelt down before Concubine Harper."Oh, gracious Lady! Your kindness knows no bounds. My mother lies here, exposed to the elements, and we are forever in your debt if you could provide her with a coffin," Prince Hobart exclaimed, his voice quivering with emotion.The concubine nodded solemnly, her eyes gleaming with tears. "You had best make haste and leave this place as soon as possible,"
As Concubine Harper approached the imposing gate of the West Palace, she was accosted by a rugged-looking man who seemed to have sprung from nowhere."Who goes there?" she demanded, readying herself for any trouble. But the man, none other than Tolly in the disguise of Cloud River, seemed unperturbed by her hostility."Lead me to Empress Guma, I’m her friend. " he said urgently, "I gave her a gift a few days ago- White Feather. But it appears that it’s been burned away. Something horrible must have happened to her. I fear the worst."“You’re right,” said Concubine Harper in surprise, “Come with me. I hope you can help her out.”As they rushed to the scene, they found Empress Guma lying on the ground, her once-vibrant clothes now soaked in crimson blood. Cloud River let out a mournful cry."Forgive me, Your Majesty. I should have come sooner," he wailed.But Empress Guma, still clinging to life, managed a faint smile."Don't blame yourself, Mr. Cloud River. It's all my fault. I shoul
