Mo Lan looked up at Anthony, noticing his inner turmoil.He quickly paid the woman and grabbed their packed kebabs, drawing the confused Anthony away.Anthony kept trying to reach out to the system to no avail, making him feel very desperate and sad.The system had said that it transported him to another dimension during the times he learnt the other techniques. Which means that he was probably in another world in a different time wheel.However, unlike the other times which didn't take much time, making it seem like a trance, this time was damn real.He was here in his real body, in a strange galaxy and dimension, where the inhabitants were living poorly.And worse, it seems like there was no way out. Is this the life of power and luxury that the system promised him?"Brother An, don't mind them. Being able to get in here in the first place means that you're exceptional. So I'm sure that you can find a way out once you find what you seek," the boy consoled, as they diverted into anot
Anthony looked around in shock, the guards were wearing menacing growls, and worse, Anthony could feel spiritual energy from their weapon showing that it's a very lethal artifact, not a mere weapon."What's wrong? What did I do? Who sent you?" Anthony asked angrily, forcing himself to keep calm.Just then, Mo Lan's mom who had gone in to get them more rice wine came out and screamed in horror.The jar of wine slipped off from her hands, and she quickly rushed to the guards."First brother, what happened? Why are your men in my house?" She asked in tears, holding the captain of the guards tightly, while staring at him with her big, bright eyes.The man sighed, his expression softening."Bing Yu, I'm not here for you or your family members. I'm here for this spy that managed to sneak in here. He might have an ulterior motive, so we need to take him to the valley Lord for questioning. Just relax, it's none of your business," the man said, patting her arms."But he's my guest. He's just a
Anthony sat down calmly, deciding that he wouldn't bother himself much about the so-called execution till he meets their shitty and arrogant valley Lord.His stomach grumbled, reminding him that he had not eaten dinner."Damn it, those bastards. How dare they come just before dinner? Why couldn't they wait for one more hour?" He whispered sadly, remembering the delicious bowls of noodles, tofu dough with lots of juicy meat and fillings, grilled chicken and spiced vegetables which Mo Lan's mom was making for dinner.She had intended to make dinner with beef, but after Anthony expelled some of the poisonous gasses from Mo Lan's belly, she decided to kill another of her fat chickens, and grill it for Anthony's benefit, to show her gratitude; since she can't offer him anything else than good food and hospitality."I didn't even get to enjoy them. Damn it, and it smelled so good," Anthony cursed, holding his belly. The lunch he ate with them gave him an inkling of what a great cook she was
The valley Lord chuckled coldly."Indeed, a calf doesn't know to be afraid of a lion, nor does a newly hatched chick fear the hawk. Commendable, even if you die here today, at least, you would have made a deep impression on everyone present," he said with a smile, shooting colored gasses at Anthony.Anthony gasped in excitement, watching the technique being used by the valley Lord. It was obviously the technique he came for.He dodged the streak just in time, while throwing his fists towards the valley Lord, reflecting his attacks back to him. But rather than hurt him, he simply inhaled the toxins back into his body."Amazing! Such a great technique. No wonder you're not willing to share it with anybody. However, I must learn this technique today, old cross eyed geezer," Anthony mocked, running round the hall while avoiding the man's attack.This continued for an hour, infuriating the valley Lord.Rather than kill Anthony, he only ended up damaging the ancestral hall severely while ki
Anthony quickly shot to his feet, crossing his hands before him to ward off the old man's attacks.The bracelet on his wrist emitted a golden glow, protecting him.However, he was still thrown up in the air, crashing against the wall, showing that the power disparity between them was too much.Anthony coughed up blood, getting to his feet.He wiped his mouth with his right palm, facing off against the old man who was already sending a thunder fist towards him.He quickly defended with his left hand wearing the bracelet while the right hand instinctively punched out to ward off the man's attacks.Surprisingly, a red streak of light was emitted from Anthony's signet ring, hitting the old man squarely on the chest, thereby pushing him back a few feets."Ancestor!" Everyone in the room shouted in shock, staring at the old man in shock.They were not the only ones surprised.Anthony was staring at the golden ring on his fingers which had a huge block of ruby designing it.His brows furrowe
The Poison Valley ancestor noticed the smile on Anthony's face and scoffed."Hm! I'm sure it feels quite good to act as you please. However, wipe that annoying smirk on your face, I might be tempted to wash it away and damn the consequences," he said in irritation.Anthony furrowed his brows for a while before he quickly realized what his happy smile looked like to them."Ancestor, I'm afraid you've misunderstood me. I wouldn't dare. I was just happy because he swore not to assist me, telling me I'm on my own. So seeing him here in the nick of time made me relieved, he came after all. He probably said it so that I won't relax on the way and assume he's following me. I'm just relieved he changed his mind about guiding me," He quickly explained, looking at them.Anthony knew that if he continued to act arrogant without giving them face, they would do everything to sabotage him out of spite.When you push a man to the wall, gauging his actions is quite difficult. So he would rather not m
"Congratulations on successfully passing your first transmigration mission. You have been awarded three heaven-ranked scriptures," the system announced, startling Anthony."You shitty, perverted system, I thought you have been disabled for good. Hmph!" He complained, feeling upset."Don't blame me, you insisted on coming here," the system reminded lazily."You didn't tell me learning it will be different from other times," he argued back."You didn't ask. It's too late to argue, it is what it is. But you should be thanking me, you came on such an exciting adventure, increasing your life experience, meeting new people, enjoying foreign delicacies that you probably would not have been privileged to taste in ten lifetimes. And most importantly, you finally got to meet the mastermind. Even if it was only his voice projection, at least, it gave you an idea of how powerful he is. He keeps an eye on whoever he wants to, no matter the distance. Do you know how many people will kill ten thousa
Anthony furrowed his brows in confusion."What do you mean? You asked me not to take any weapons to avoid incurring their wrath. Besides, time is of the essence, I want to leave," Anthony replied in irritation, obviously fed up with the system's mischievous behavior."Short-sighted, are we? Do you know the kind of treasure trove they just delivered to you? It will be quite a waste not to take advantage of it all. If you take the weapons, they will immediately realize that something got missing. But if you learn the technique, how will they know you stole their techniques? You must quickly help yourself to them, all these are priceless techniques and formulas. No one needs to know you took them, unless you tell them of course. Even if you don't have suitable weapons to go with them now, it's still very useful. You can even chance upon compatible weapons to combine them with. If you come across a technique you don't like, just learn it and cram it, scan the information and store them in
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
“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
“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
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
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
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
“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
“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
