They kept looking around in the house, till Mo Lan came out of the cultivation room, after being distracted by the noise.

“What's wrong?” He asked with a frown, stretching himself.

“We can't find Angel.” Annabelle whispered, close to tears.

Mo Lan's heart skipped a beat.

“Ah? Did she follow big brother outside?”

“It's impossible, I would have noticed her following me. Besides, Anna saw her an hour ago watching cartoons. She suddenly disappeared.”

“Damn it? Is this place haunted? Could there be traps capable of holding someone hostage in here?” Mo lan whispered, frowning deeply.

“It's impossible, An would have informed us. Besides, the forbidden rooms are locked securely. How can she enter there?” Aria quickly said, rejecting the idea.

“But where the fuck could she be?” Annabelle whispered in exasperation.

“I should be asking you that. Why else do we leave kids with adults if not to watch over them? Damn it! I should have just taken her along.” Aria whispered and stalked out, going tow

    “Is that my uncle?” Angel whispered, looking towards the direction of the sound. However, the sounds stopped coming after a while, making her attention return back to the apple tree. “Little girl, what are you doing here? It's dangerous outside, you should go inside.” The apple said in a sweet feminine voice, patting her hair with a leafy branch. “Aunty, but you are outside. I'm tired of watching cartoons. I have watched all the cartoons shown on the television when we first arrived. Do you want to come watch with me? Sophia the first is really interesting.” Angel asked, looking up at her. “I don't watch cartoons dear. Please, go inside.” “Okay. Can you give me an apple then?” “Why do you want the apple?” “Because it's beautiful; and beautiful fruits are tasty.” “But you already have a beautiful fruit in your hands, go ahead and eat that one.” “I will eat it, but I also want to eat the beautiful apples. An apple a day keeps the doctors away.” Angel whispered with a smile her

    The system kept silent, confusing Anthony the more. “System, activate the all seeing eyes.”Again, the system kept quiet, and he quickly raised his spear, looking around with his face hardened into stone.The system was fond of disappearing without warning during crucial moments, probably to punish him or something.Whenever the system returned, he was determined to give it a piece of his mind. He swung his spear around, using internal energy to send multiple shadow spears to his environs.Something hissed in pain and flew out from the flower bed, wrapping around a nearby tree.It was a huge purple snake, and he had not noticed it at first because it was the same color as that of the herbs he was picking.“Owza! Can't someone play with you?” The snake said angrily in a childish voice, transforming into a beautiful young woman.She had a long line of red on her arm, which was the spot Anthony slashed her.“Well, I don't like rough plays. What if I slashed you because I was frightene

    Anthony smirked and swung his spear around.“Have you made your decision?” She asked again.“I don't need to think about it. My decision has been made even before you spoke out. If you decide to give me an ultimatum or attack me, you will end up dead.”The snake demon girl chuckled. “Are you confident of defeating me, young master? I can kill you in one strike if I make up my mind to do it. But you? Dying in your hands is impossible, you can't match my strength, or years of experience. You may have potential, but it's useless in the face of real battles. You can't beat me, accept it.”“I don't have the strength or time for argument, please excuse me.” Anthony said and pushed her aside, going deeper into the forest He felt her following him, making him creeped out. “Allow her to come along. You might find her useful, especially since she seems to have softened towards you. She's also right, you know. If she truly attacked you, you will find yourself in a very tight corner. It's bett

    “Do you even understand what you're asking for?” Anthony whispered, running his fingers through his hair.“I know. I have never experienced the outside world, and going on my own might be dangerous since I don't know anything about how things are done. Besides, I think that meeting you is fate; a positive one. I want to come with you.”“I know that unlike other demons, you're a good one with a conscience. But sometimes, controlling one's true nature is easier said than done. If you end up meeting something that triggered a transformation, and create a disastrous tragedy during your moment of weakness, I will be a sinner to the whole world. There are times you will get triggered, especially when dealing with humans and unfamiliar emotions. It's better you stay in your comfort zone, where you can freely be your true self, without being encumbered by earthly principles.” Anthony quickly reasoned.The girl looked at the floor sadly.“I know you don't trust me. You think that one day, I mi

    The girl looked confused at first, but quickly nodded after some time.“Do you have a name?”“No, but my parents used to call me little purple, before they were killed by beast core hunters.”“Ah? Humans hurt your family, yet you want to come with me? Tell me, you're on a revenge mission, aren't you? You want revenge on those that killed your parents. And you might exterminate the human race if you get the chance. That's your plan, right? The reason you insist on having me take you out of the forest is because you want revenge, not that you like me, or formed an attachment towards me. You don't love me, you want to use me.”Anthony whispered, his eyes turning cold.“I'm still upset at them, but you can rest assured that I won't take it out on others. I won't attack other people because of the bad experience I had. If I had bad intentions towards you, I would have attacked you as soon as you began to cut down my flowers. But I didn't. What will it take you to believe me?”“It better be

    “System, what's wrong?” Anthony asked in alarm. “Red alert, a dangerous creature was detected surfacing from the sea beds of the Atlantic ocean. It seems to be an egg buried in the depths of the ocean. It is estimated to create a huge problem the moment it fully breaks free from the suppression of earthly spacial laws. It's not from earth, and the egg shell seems to be a means to hide it till it gathers enough energy to make it have an aura that resembles earthly monsters, thereby hiding its true nature and origin.” “Ah? How much time do I have? Has it hatched already?” “No, If it had already hatched, you would have been catapulted to the scene without the need for much words. However, the hatching process has already been initiated, and it's expected to hatch in twenty one days. It might be a little earlier, or a little later, depending on the conditions it manages to find.” “That's good then. I will hurry up with the current mission and make my way to the location. Let me go a

    There was a man dressed in ancient black Chinese cultivator robes, and was wearing a hat made of raffia palm. At first glance, he looked like a respected monk or recluse, but there seemed to be something weird about him. “The one that looks like a monk?” “The one in that blue three piece cloth that looks like the one you were wearing in that picture on Annabelle's laptop.”“It's called a suit. So the problem is the one in a blue suit, not the suspicious looking monk?”Lynda looked away from her target the moment he turned.“Both of them are evil and have a hint of bloodlust, and a malicious aura. But the man in suit is even worse and seems to be more powerful.”Annabelle stopped at that moment, noticing that her companions were no longer following her, and retraced her steps.“What's wrong?” She asked in irritation.“Anna, there are evil cultivators here.” Lynda quickly explained before Anthony could signal her not to say a word. Lynda has been trying to warm up to Annabelle and th

    The man suddenly appeared to have three heads and his teeth were stained with blood as he reached for Anthony.He quickly teleported backwards, avoiding the man's talons.“Oh my goodness. He's not human. He's from that tribe.”Anthony quickly slashed out with one of his swords while the other blocked the man's attack.Anthony staggered with the force of the impact and felt a warm liquid in his throat. He forced it down and stared at the man, who had a slight cut on his palm but doesn't seem to feel it. “He's from the bloodsucker viper tribe. They came from a union between an evil vampire, and a naive female demon he initially captured to prepare an evil elixir. But along the line, he fell in love with the demon and decided to keep her beside him. But their children were born with frightening ability, which also includes beast trapping.

  • Still my blood

    Mo Lan’s pale, sweaty face was the first Aryan saw the moment he regained consciousness. A wide smile broke on his face as Mo Lan hugged him crying. “It's so good to finally see your face, the soul mate that lighted the beacon, guiding me out of darkness. Has the rest left the mystic lands?” Aryan whispered, rubbing his back. “Big brother, we have a lot to say to each other, but we only have two minutes left, let's go.” Anthony shouted, making him notice the other two. Anthony quickly carried up Aryan while Mo Lan grabbed Annabelle, quickly racing to the front porch. They met an open space craft, making them surprised. “Hurry up!” Sean shouted, coming out from the vehicle. “Why are you still here?” Aryan whispered in surprise. Anthony and Mo Lan staying back was no surprise due to their bond. But Kaiser and Sean staying back was a mystery. “How can we leave our brothers to weather storms alone? Lynda is leading the rest away. Ryan, Aria, Jasmine and Angel are in the other vehic

  • Leaving Paradise

    “Has Mo Lan come out yet? It has already been a week. We have been asked to leave this place and we only have twelve hours left.” Anthony whispered, watching his watch. All of their luggages and things they consider important which didn't belong exclusively to the mystic lands have been packed up and arranged for take off. However, four people were visibly absent while others were ready to take off. But at least, everyone knew where two of them could be seen. Ryan was rushing his last minute cultivation while trying to condense demi god threshold. While Annabelle was upstairs in her room cultivating as if the urgent messages from the system had no relation to her. “I don't really know what's wrong with Mo Lan. He had disappeared to who knows where ever since last week when Annabelle broke into the demi god realm. Could it be that he got backlash while trying to help her breakthrough?” Sean asked with a frown. “It can't be that. If he was truly wounded, there was no way Annabelle wou

  • A Taste of the Forbidden

    “Why do you keep avoiding my eyes? Look at me! I need you to pay attention if we're to succeed.” Mo Lan snapped impatiently, making Annabelle jump in fright. She had thought that Mo Lan would stalk away after she gave in to her baser instincts and slapped him. But surprisingly, he endured it and told her to get dressed. He had taken her to the mountain, explaining the principles of law formations and stopping at intervals on places with stronger law activities to cultivate and gain deeper understanding on the principles behind their formations and functions. When they got up the mountain, he had taken her on a hands-on combat training class, but she never seemed to fully concentrate, wondering why he was still helping her. “Fine, sit cross legged, let's start dual cultivation and attempt a breakthrough. But before then, I will set a formation around this mountain to prevent your aura and heavenly manifestations from reflecting when you eventually break through.”“Why are you so sur

  • Sneaky

    It was exactly 12 a.m when Mo Lan creeped into Annabelle’s room again and locked the door. He had met Jasmine in the pool while cultivating earlier that evening leading to an unpleasant encounter. He had thought that everyone was still celebrating Ryan and left to cultivate after taking care of Aryan. He had packed the treasure’s milky drops that were collected in the container and replaced it with a new container after stashing away the initial one.Mo Lan had stripped down to his birthday suit and gotten into the pool, only to notice a movement. He teleported to the spot and caught Jasmine trying to crawl away. And all her tearful explanations about how she had been there before him couldn't save her from the tongue lashing he dosed out on her. After such an unpleasant experience, common sense dictates that he takes a bath and sleeps to unwind. But of course, Mo Lan had never been one to follow common sense. He had continued his bone crushing exercises to train, before going on to

  • Restored Dreams

    The loud cheers he heard downstairs for dinner made him frown. Why were they cheering so much, even if someone broke through, what was the big deal about it? Weren't they breaking through every other day? Literally, since they arrived, there has been someone breaking through every three days or less. So why was this one special? Or has Anthony reached the god realm? That must be it! ‘Oh no, I forgot to tell him the matter about superior god laws. Breaking through in a lower realm ain't good, the space laws will encumber him the moment we leave here.’ Mo Lan muttered and quickly rushed down to the dining room where the commotion was coming from. Everyone was circling Ryan and Angel was jumping up and down. “Ryan, didn't I tell you to…” He began to say angrily, thinking that Ryan disobeyed him and used the treasures to keep forcing a breakthrough to the saint or demi god realm. “Big brother, big brother.” Ryan whispered in a tearful voice and threw himself into Mo Lan's arms, huggin

  • Rejected

    Mo Lan went down on his knees before Annabelle the moment he came into the cultivation room. She was sitting cross legged, with eyes closed, churning the energy she received to incorporate it to her own body. Soon, the timer went off and the spiritual energy beams from the aura gathering formation receded. She opened her eyes and exhaled stale air filled with impurities. “Anna, come and eat. I made your favorite beef and chicken stew with rice. There is also a jug of immortal fruit juice to refresh your body and release more energy.” He whispered with a smile and knelt before her, setting out her meals. She smiled at him, watching him serve her. “Our Mo Lan now cooks dishes that are more tasty than mine. He's all grown up now.” She whispered, shutting her eyes as she savored the dishes. “Don't tempt me now. You won't like the results.” Mo Lan whispered, his voice deep as he watched her lick her lips. “You're the one misunderstanding my actions. Or do you plan to throw around the

  • A monster coming alive

    “Ryan, come into the lab once you're done eating. It's time to repair your leg and get you new ones.” Anthony said, making Ryan's chopsticks halt halfway to his mouth. “Are you serious?” He whispered, his heartbeat accelerated at the thought that he could finally regain the use of both feet, instead of drifting around on one. “Of course, will this big brother lie to you? The drafts are ready and I spent all morning getting it ready before I went for the morning exercises. Besides, that treasure Mo Lan spoke about, I went to check it out last night and saw that a milky drop of liquid was forming at a point. So, I placed a collecting container in the space where it was meant to fall into. When I checked this morning, around two drops had dropped into the container. Although it's two drops, the life energy was incredibly thick and has the ability to regenerate body parts. Although I wanted to use it for Aryan, I think yours cannot wait. There are other methods to help Aryan, but thi

  • He has gotten sassy

    “How come I have never seen Annabelle today? She's not even in her room. Has anyone seen her?” Anthony asked, walking into the dining room. He had just returned from the miracle pool where he went for his morning meditation and realized that Annabelle was still nowhere to be seen. “Who exactly do you expect to answer that question? If you don't know where she is, who should?” Mo Lan asked harshly, and walked past him carrying a heavy tray laden with various aromatic dishes. Anthony frowned and turned to him, looking surprised. “Mo Lan, you have been getting more and more sassy nowadays. Now you even talk back to me of all people; your big brother.” “Big brother, my ass. Have you seen how tired and sick she looks? Yet she fucking smiles for everyone. She's exhausted but wouldn't take a break till I offered to make the dishes for today. If you're going to turn her into a slave, working even when she's exhausted, then you shouldn't have made her believe that lie you told her. Y

    “Really? How come I never remember calling you mom? The only one I remember is in Seattle waiting for us since we left years ago. I can call you mom though, but that's under special conditions, with you in my arms. Mommy, I want some milk. Is it that kind of mommy?” He asked and bit his lips, enjoying her horrified expression. “Mo Lan, when did you get so rotten and raw? Who the fuck are you? Because the person before me ain't my Mo Lan. Mo. Lan, even if I'm too young to be your mother, you're still my son. You're the son of my heart.” Annabelle whispered, and took a step away from him “Really? Since you want to be my mom so bad, I agree. I also want to know what those step mother and son movies feel like in real life. We should experiment and see what it feels like to love someone you consider your son in a romantic way? Do you want to call me baby too? Mommy, if you're happy with that big dick brother of mine, I will keep my paws off you. But he leaves you lonely, horny, and feeli
