“I’m sorry for your loss,” Blake said, showing sincerity.“They protected the town and killed thousands of beasts if it wasn’t for….” Sister Song explained but trailed off at the last sentence.“I’m sure they would be proud of you for taking in a stranger and nursing him back to health; they sound like town heroes,” Blake said, smiling broadly.“You are no longer a stranger, and Sister Song will address you as brother from now on.” Sister Song announced, seeing that Blake was a kind man.“Let me go and prepare breakfast. Are you able to eat?” Sister Song asked kindly as she was about to depart from the room.“Yes, that would be nice, thank you. I’m a bit starved.” Blake said with a smile.“Let Sister take care of you. You rest now.” Sister Song said this was when the sun came into the little room and illuminated her.Sister Song was a petite twenty-year-old and wore clothing that the mid-eighteenth-century women wore. A cotton white blouse and a long dark skirt that hung right above t
KNOCK, KNOCK.“Yes, you can enter,” Blake said under the covers.“Sorry for earlier. Here, these should fit you.” Sister Song said suddenly, lay the clothing on the chair, and abruptly left, blushing hard.Blake shook his head and smiled at her cuteness. Dressing, his assumption was like what he had imagined. All the clothing was made of rough wool and was very rough on the skin. He wished his clothing had survived; at least he could wear some underwear under these pants. He tried the shoes and found them to be made of soft leather, animal skin, it would seem. He hadn’t noticed Sister Song’s footwear being the skirt covering her feet but assumed they were the same. After dressing, he picked up the tray that accidentally fell to the floor, and the food was still on its plate, making Blake thankful it didn’t spill onto the floor during her shock.Blake was amazed at the lack of progress he was making. For someone who cultivated the Body Life Destruction and could endure the Divine Light
“You bastard, why didn’t you let me go with you? You only dropped me off and took the Organization on by yourself.” Sylvia said angrily. “Your foundation had not been settled, and I didn’t want you to get hurt. You had only finished your tribulation, and fighting them would have hurt your progress,” Blake said, placing his hand behind his head as he explained. “So what, this is some type of projection?” Sylvia asked, calming down and hearing Blake’s explanation, looking Blake up and down. “It’s complicated,” Blake said, explaining what had happened after sending Sylvia to the Small World and meeting Sister Song and her kindness when he entered the Inner World. “It would seem we will even get a sister from the Inner World,” Sylvia giggled. “It’s not like that. She is helping me, and right now, I’m unable to help her; the environment here is five times more than on Earth. Three times more than the Small World. It’s hard to adjust to the gravity and excessive Spirit Qi here, and I on
Blake continued in the direction of the town and decided to try his Quick steps and found that although taxing on him, it could be achieved for a short burst if needed to escape suddenly. He also tried his Shadow Sword, which became more accessible, and now he felt well protected when the sword manifested in his hand. Looking around, he gave it a small wave, and the tree before him was cut in half lengthwise; Blake rushed onto the town like a child who did wrong.“Oh, you’re awake; it’s been a few days. How do you feel?” Hana asked the woman in the bed before her.“I’m sorry, who are you?” The blond woman asked, realizing she didn’t even know her own name.“Do you not know who you are? What’s your name?” Hana asked with worry.“I____I don’t know. It’s all a blank.” The woman stated, shaking her head as if it could jog her memory back.“You are Camila. You are one of the staff here in the Flowing Sword Sect, a slave, and if it weren’t for me, you would have been at the bottom of the cl
Chang fanned himself and smiled. “There is a shortage of beast meat and can’t spare it. It’s hard to provide for the whole town, but if you become my wife, there would be many benefits, including the delicacies from eating beast meat every day.”Chang then tried to get closer to Sister Song and hold her hand. Seeing his shameless actions, Sister Song moved away from his actions with a frown, swiping his hand away from her.“How despicable! Are you seeking me as your fifth wife? Keep dreaming, it’s bad enough you conned my best friend, and now you want me as well? Never!” Sister Song called out.“Then I suggest you learn to live without meat altogether. You will not have any more of the rationed meat from this town unless you submit to me.” Chang said, still fanning himself with a smile; the poor relied on this meat to survive.“Are you going to bully me? The town of Jiāoqū owes that meat for my parent’s efforts. Why use your father’s power of being Governor to bully the weak? This is
Blake stood there motionless, looking at the six men advancing towards him. Channeling his Divine Qi into a condensed state, he created a barrier around him, and Siter Song and his Qi sword manifested in his hand.Shock was seen on everyone’s faces as Blake’s Divine Qi manifested outside the body.“He’s in the Divine Realm retreat with the Young Lord and Miss. Report to the Governor the situation.” A man with excellent build and armor said as he walked to Blake and Sister Song, but this time with no malicious intent, so Blake lowered his Qi barrier but kept his sword vigilant to the guards’ actions.“Apologies, please don’t take offense to this lowly servant.” The man said, giving Blake a slight bow.Blake ignored him and looked to Sister Song and spoke.“Are you alright?” Blake softly asked with a caring smile so only they could hear.“You, you are in the Devine Realm?” Sister Song asked softly, shocked to see that Blake was so powerful and wondered how he got so injured.“Yeah, well
Chang rose from his position and motioned for two guards to take his wife away as he still looked in the direction where Blake and Sister Song departed and called one of his men to him and whispered.Blake and Sister Song left the town and walked in silence. Blake was afraid that Sister Song feared him, so he casually tried to make small talk.“Sister, can you tell me about this area? Seeing I’m new here, it would be great to get the lay of the land.” Blake began.“Hugh? Oh, yeah. We are in the western part of the Empire. It’s primarily rural areas with a few towns or villages in between. Every year, a Beast tide will threaten the towns and villages.Blake let Sister Song explain that there were four areas of the Empire, North, South, East and West, with a vast ocean to the east of the Empire, where no one has ventured. The North holds the capital city, Empire City. There were four main Sects that everyone wanted to attend and four leading families throughout the Empire that had juris
Blake continued with this method until he was at the boundary of breaking the last barrier, but it was still not enough right now and quit his cultivation. He could feel the barrier but just couldn’t break it; he was at a bottleneck, and continuing would only hurt his cultivation. Rising from his spot, he reentered the home only to find Sister Song panting like she had run a marathon; with a surprised expression, she asked.“What the hell was that? What were you doing outside?”Blake, confused told her what he had been doing.“I was cultivating? Why and why are you like this?”“How else could I be if not like this? I rose in my cultivation and am now in Martial Apprentice’s fifth level. If you wouldn’t have stopped it would have continued and maybe break through to ninth. I’m not ready, and neither is my body. I need to continue strengthening my foundation.” Sister Song explained as she sat on one of the chairs by the table, breathing hard.“Sorry. I didn’t know that my cultivation wo
The voice then didn’t speak any longer as Yawayer frowned. She didn’t want to personally leave Heaven and deal with the Four Guardians herself, but the actual creator wanted her to go, and she was helpless to follow his commands. It was the same with the God wars and the rebellion in Heaven all those years ago. She regretted her actions, but what was she supposed to do? The creator had a plan involving her pretending to be him and utilizing the Heaven Angels to bring the Power of Faith to this dimension. In the end, she lost her bestie and had all of the women of her race exiled to Hell, a barren dimension, as instructed by the creator. Now, he wanted her to personally go and release the four guardians and cause destruction upon the Mortal realm to bring more Power of Faith to them.Sighing again, she prepared herself and took out a golden-lined jade token. With this token, she could easily descend and not have to pay such a price for her cultivation to degrees. She changed into a mor
“Don’t look at me like that. We are to leave for the Inner World now. Ladies, we will depart first.” Blake Three stated and headed to the Traveling Formation.“What, no kiss goodbye?” Clara asked as she dropped the sound barrier between her, Blake Two, and the rest of the world.“I’ll kiss you if you want.” Blake Two said next to her.“I would never deny a kiss from you,” Clara said, kissing Blake Two thoroughly.Blake Three and Susan Hemingway entered the Traveling Formation, and Blake guided the Formation to take them to the Inner World. To Susan’s surprise, a tunnel of lights arrived, and she looked at it wonderfully.“The Thraveling Formation will bring us to a courtyard of the family I married into. The pressure in the Inner World is greater than in the Small World, and the Spirit Qi is denser. I will create a light barrier around us to help with the sudden pressure and see if you can handle the change in atmosphere.” Blake Three said with concern over Susan’s well-being.“I unde
Blake Two saw the revelation in her eyes as she realized the situation. He had a foreboding feeling and saw it change into a lustful stare.“As I had said, you are married, and my cultivation will cause you harm, so I’m afraid I will have to decline your offer.” Blake Two said, looking at Susan with an apologetic smile.The Goddesses laughed at Blake’s comment, which confused the man.“What’s so funny?” Blake Two asked, confused over their sudden outburst.“It’s not only your cultivation inside of you. Do you realize you may also be the cure for the Vampiere condition?” Clara asked Blake.“Cure? How so?” Blake asked, not knowing where this was leading.Susan Hemingway heard what Clara said and was surprised by her words. There was never a cure for her race’s condition. They only had to bear the thirst and hunger of their condition. Normal treatments had all failed when trying to revert back to humans. Many wanted to, but most wanted to continue having the power that the condition brou
Blake was speechless hearing this from Susan Hemingway. Was she not already married to Reginald? She was also of the vampire race, and his cultivation could harm her condition.“I. I don’t think that would be a wise decision. I’m….” Blake began.“All too willing to become yours.” Came a voice that Blake never would have believed saying such a thing.Claire walked to the couple and smiled at Susan Hemingway.“Who is this enchanting woman, Blake?” Claire asked, looking at Susan.“This is MRS. Hemingway of the Hemingway family.” Blake introduced Claire to Susan and emphasized MRS.“Ah, so you are a….” Claire hesitated in her speech.“Vampire, yes, we feed on blood,” Susan said, seeing the startled woman.“Understood,” Claire said and smiled kindly.“Always the gigolo, are we not?” a voice came from behind Claire.Blake looked, and to his surprise, an elderly woman coming from behind her. His surprise was warranted since he had never allowed such a person to enter the Small World. Blake l
“Sorry, but it seemed important. Is everyone okay?” Blake asked, looking at the area where Tabitha had come to call upon him.“Yes, they are in the living room waiting for my return,” Tabitha replied.“Okay, I will take it from here. Don’t worry.” Blake said, hugging her to comfort her fears.“Thank you for coming,” Tabitha said and held onto Blake for a while as her motions became calmer.Blake then let her go, and they proceeded to the living room, where the couple were waiting for Tabitha’s return.They were surprised when they saw Blake’s arrival, as they assumed he was away on business.“You arrived,” Susan Hemingway said with surprise.“Yes, with Tabitha saying that your family was here, I came quickly. What seems to be the trouble? I will help as much as I can.” Blake said he had a good impression of this family and didn’t want more trouble in the future because of their race.“This is the situation. My family is on the brink of extinction.” Reginald quickly stated.“How is tha
Sir. Aldridge then left the room and made a phone call. A man in red robes was drinking a glass of bourbon and sitting next to the fireplace with a nice fire crackling when the phone rang beside him.“Yes.” The red cardinal replied.“Your eminence, the ones known as Azrael, Chamuel, and Ezekiel, have disappeared after the destruction of the holy temple. They left with Blake and have not returned as planned.” Sir. Aldridge replied over the phone.There was silence on the cardinal’s end as the news was shocking and startling. Then, a respiring voice was heard on the other end.“What of the Hemingway family?” The cardinal inquired.“We have been only monitoring them, and they have not caused any trouble since they had last met with Blake Elon. It seems they keep in the shadows and do not want to bring any attention to themselves. Azrael wanted to only monitor their movements for the time being since Blake Elon was a greater threat to the Holy Order, but since….” Sir. Aldridge informed th
The two sisters looked at Julie with confusion. Family vacation? When was this supposed to take place? Then Tabitha’s eyes widened, and she remembered that Blake had promised them a family vacation after Tabitha had graduated from college, and she smiled in her remembrance. She stopped at a posterboard when she first met Blake, and he promised her a family vacation to celebrate her graduation. With all that had happened since then, she had forgotten entirely this promise until Julie brought it up.“I forgot Blake’s promise since then,” Tabitha replied.“Then it’s good that I reminded you,” Julie said.“Mom, with everything going on, it’s going to be a miracle that even he remembers the promises he made,” Tabitha replied and checked on her son, who had woken from his nap.“No, a promise is a promise. Blake has to make it happen.” Julie said, folding her arms to reintegrate her demand.“Mom, I’m a Mother as well, and going galavanting on vacation is the last thing I need to do,” Tabitha
“What do you think Blake is doing to her?” Kelly, who was naïve, wondered as pain and punishment sounded from the home.“Sounds like he is punishing her for not being forward with her information when they came into the truce,” Sylvia replied to Kelly.“Blake doesn’t punish. He’s too nice of a person.” Kelly replied, not knowing Blake for too long.The woman around her looked at her naive nature and laughed.“Blake once killed all those who had occupied this town because they were evil people who were planning on harming the world,” Sara replied, as she had been there when it had happened, even to the point when her cousin wanted to kill her and Blake only to meet his demise at the hands of his saviors.“So, he’s not kind?” Kelly asked, worried.“Blake is kind, loving, and sweet to his family and friends. If you cross his bottom line, you are his enemy, and you will suffer greatly in his hands. Blake always says he would rather have many friends than many enemies. It’s unfortunate; he
“Okay, Clara. How will you guide us, and how did you enter Blake’s Traveling Formation? Only family or someone with a jade token can enter and travel?” Claire asked, leading Clara from the Traveling Formation.“He, he. A little secret, my dear.” Clara said, and this time, she sounded her age.Roseline was, after all, a Formations’s Master. The Formation Blake had created, even with the help of Silver Light, was still a weak Formation that she could infiltrate. If Blake had utilized the Scripture writings, this would have been another story for her.“Okay. Let’s not quibble over details. Is he still with Lucy?” Clara asked.“Yes,” Claire replied, looking at the home Blake had brought Lucy to.Suddenly, loud slapping came from the home, as did loud anguish sounds.SLAP!“AUGHT!”SLAP!“AUGH! MORE!”SLAP, SLAP!Everyone around looked towards the home, surprised to hear the beatings that were taking place within.Blake was there with a paddle in hand, and Lucy was bent over a coffee table
