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
Sister Song sat there for a few moments as Blake replenished his Divine Qi that he had relinquished to her; as she said, they needed an external source for the Divine Qi to enter them and make progress. Blake also discovered why he and his women differed from Sister Song and, most likely, the people of the Inner World. They all had golden cores that would transform the Spirit Qi into Devine Qi. Sister Song lacked this essential element in her cultivation. If Sister Song wanted an unlimited Divine Qi, she would have to form her golden core but to do so now. She would have to scrap her current cultivation and begin anew, which didn’t guarantee success. So Blake didn’t bring it up.Seeing it was getting late, They rose from their position and entered the home. It was time for dinner, and Sister Song was too pleased to provide it for them. Blake, also under protest, helped prepare the food; they were to celebrate with a Beast meat stew with herbs from Blake to strengthen Sister Song’s fou
