"Hahaha! I'm Quickstep Littletoes of the Ant Race. Glad to be your acquaintance, Octavio! Let's be friends and not fight, okay? I don't like fighting. Nothing good ever comes out of it." Quickstep laughed and said to Octavio. This was the first human who had shown him respect.
It was a good feeling to have. He was tired of being hated and hunted by humans for no reason at all. Just like before, everything he had experienced with them were all bad things. It seems that some humans listened to reason before using their fists.
Quickstep was glad because he knew now that not all humans hungered for conflict.
"As you wish, Your Excellency!" Octavio hast
"Ezedius, care to explain what happened here?" Octavio said in greetings to Ezedius. He determined that what had transpired in this land was all witnessed by the ruler of the city nearby. He did not put the lines of soldiers behind Ezedius in his eyes. His sect could crush them with their eyes close."Greetings, Sect Master Octavio! It all started when…" Ezedius started his tale towards Octavio. He had no choice but to say all that he knew. Octavio's eyes sparked with interest when he got to the part that the bald immortal could freely change forms to other creatures. This was unheard of for human immortals to do."Does he come from the shape shifter tribe?" Octavio muttered after Ezedius finished his retelling of the events a
"I'm getting used to being wise. Hehehe!" Quickstep thought happily. He was extremely satisfied with his upgraded brain with all the transmogrifications he took. He wanted to transmogrify to even more intelligent existences."You stupid fool! I will kill you even if I have to climb a thousand hells to do that! You maggot brain immortal… Ant Fetish… Emmet… Pismire Lover…" Rhixar was hysterical at this point. He knew he was done.Even his former Sect Master Octavio could not find any loopholes anymore to continue his pretense of wanting to punish him in the Dungeon of Penance.This time, he would really end up there.

"As you wish, Your Excellency. Men! Escort Formation!" Ezedius said to Quickstep and issued a new order towards the city army. The soldiers lined up into two columns. A clear pathway was noticed in between of the arranged defenders.Ezedius touched his ring and a carriage appeared out of nowhere. Three beasts shouldered the burden of the transport."Allow me to show my hospitality as City Lord, Your Excellency." Ezedius said and gestured for Quickstep to mount the carriage."Hahaha! What a nice flying house!" Quickstep laughed as he accepted the offer from Ezedius. He went inside the carriage and saw that it was very spacious compared with how it l
"You misunderstand, Your Excellency. I was only gifting the carriage to you. Didn't you say you like it?" Ezedius wiped off the beads of sweat that was going down his forehead. How could the bald immortal think that he was into him?That would have been a disaster. Two men were incompatible. They would only cross swords in the end."His sword is bigger than mine." Ezedius thought after he glanced at the hanging third leg of the bald immortal. This bald immortal was certainly joking. If not, and he accepted what he thought Ezedius was offering then…He gulped and stopped his contemplations there. The subsequent imaginings was definitely one h
"Please forgive my vulgarity, Your Excellency. It won't happen again." Ezedius apologized and bowed his head even lower. Deep inside, he was chastising himself for being such a moron. Offending an immortal, even one who was acting on a play, was not a smart move.He was thankful that the bald immortal didn't kill him on the spot. If he lived through this tribulation, Ezedius promised himself that he would never do the same mistake again."Hahaha! This is not the time for apologies, my friend. It's time to sing and dance! Let's party!" Quickstep declared out loud. Ezedius' relief was quite evident. He breathed deep and congratulated himself for surviving a close shave from death.
"Hahaha! How are you all doing? My official title is Immortal Cultivation Expert Ant Quickstep. But any of you can call me Quickstep for short. Hehehe! I'm glad to call you my friends!" Quickstep laughed out loud after he said the words towards the throng of people inside the dining hall.He hadn't felt this way in such a long time. Deep inside, he missed his family and his clan. Even if these new friends were not ants, Quickstep thought that the feeling of being accepted was overwhelming. He even has teary eyes as he looked at his human friends."Welcome to the City of Yoria, Quickstep!" a huge man with a big booming voice said to the bald immortal.
"How did you do that?" Quickstep asked Ezedius in curiosity."Did what, Your Excellency?" Ezedius replied in confusion."I heard your voice but your mouth did not open. Hahaha! I know. Let me make a guess. It's magic, isn't it?" Quickstep said in excitement."You can call it that. But the right term would be divine sense, Your Excellency." Ezedius answered as he continued to use his divine sense in the conversation."Divine Sense? Wow! Let me try it. Can you hear me, my friend?" Quickstep said to Ezedius. He said the last sentence without moving the lips on his m
"I understand, Quickstep. I will keep your words locked in my heart." Meric answered the bald immortal. He tried using flattery when he mimicked the naked man before him. The weak would always fawn on the strong. It was one of the laws of nature."Hahaha! You are a wise person, my friend." Quickstep said to Meric. He then waved his hand and the air generated from the action, whisked all the empty bottles towards him. The bottles lined up perfectly in the air."Okay. Let's see.1 bottle2 bottles
