“Look here, men, we have a smart one.” One of the men with a scarred eye seemed to be the leader, replied.The men only laughed and kept an eye on the couple.“It would seem that you require something; perhaps I could be of service?” Blake asked the men.“Oh, you could say that.” The scarred man said. “You could give all you have, and we will spare your lives. I hoped to do this trade a little further from the town, but given the choice, you know how it is when you are found out.”“I see your dilemma, but to risk all for a petty robbery? Are you not afraid of the guards from town finding out?” Blake asked.“Oh, the guards? There are no guards that will go against our group. Also, this is not only a robbery; we will also take the woman. As you both know, the slave trade is big business, so I’m afraid that your rescue trip will have to be delayed if you value your life.” The scarred man proclaimed.Blake sighed deeply. The boss took this as him giving up, but Blake’s following words mad
“Cough, brother, if you don’t mind.” Sister Song said although she didn’t mind being in his arms, she was being held too tightly.“Oh, sorry, do you know what just happened?” Blake asked when he let Sister Song go.“Why are you asking me? You were the one who opened a cut the world.” Sister Song replied, shocked even when she said it.“I did what?” Blake asked.Sister Song was silent, not knowing what had happened until Drake answered.“Well, you are the one that released such energy. It had to have been you.” Drake replied to Blake.“Should I try it again?” Blake asked, forming his Qi into a sword.“ARE YOU CRAZY? DO YOU WANT US TO PERISH?” Drake yelled out. “To open the void without knowledge is only looking for death!”Blake looked at the flustered woman and placed his hand behind his head.“I know, it’s just so fascinating that this was achieved, even if it was a mistake,” Blake told Drake.Blake informed Sister Song what he had done, and she became pale in fright, knowing what ha
“It would seem that your daughter has taken a liking to her maid. It is a shame that there is nothing she can do; it has already been decided since my younger brother has taken a fancy to her and, from here on out, will become the Second Prince’s betrothed. I take it that her position in the Flowing Sword Sct will reflect her status as my brother’s woman.” The First Prince stated, taking a sip of his drink; all the while, his brother stood there, not saying anything.“Yes, my Lord, she will be tended to and given servants to look after her.” The head Master stated with a great smile. “Then it’s settled Prince Xiang Ma will be staying here to also look after his future wife and get better aqainted. Maybe he can break out of his shell with a stronger approach.” The First Prince said, looking at his brother, who still gave an indifferent look.“Apologies, but do I not have a say in this?” A voice rang out coming from behind Hana, it was Camila.“What does a mere servant have to say? Yo
Blake went into his tent and settled down. He decided to check on the Small World utilizing his soul. When he arrived, he was met with a similar scene. Gerald was still picking herbs from the garden when Blake reappeared. It should have been a few years here in the Small World since he had last visited.“Elder, still picking, I see,” Blake commented.“Blake? Why have you returned suddenly? Did you forget anything?” Gerald asked, seeing Blake return as soon as he had left.“Uhm, hasn’t it been a couple of years already?” Blake asked.“You only left a moment ago. What’s wrong?” Gerald asked, placing his herbs down.“It’s been a few days since I visited, and I thought a few years and months would have passed already. But it’s only been a few moments since I first left?” Blake asked, confused over the time situation.“Yes, that is correct,” Gerald replied, looking at the confused Blake.“Elder, what do you know about time?” Blake suddenly asked.“Time? Not much. Why?” Gerald asked.“I bel
A few days passed, and Blake immersed himself in the arrays and formations to better understand his powers. He could infuse a formation with time, and the item within the formation would rapidly age; another would make it rapidly turn younger until it would disappear into nothingness. Blake was satisfied with these results and tried to create a space formation that could teleport him a few feet from his original position. Sister Song watched him as he would easily pop from one place to the next.“What do you think?” Blake asked one day when he popped beside Sister Song, who was polishing her Spirit Sword.“I think you are trying to give me a heart attack with you popping so close.” Sister Song replied as she was startled by him.“Sorry, but I think I can shorten our trip by a day or two,” Blake said confidently.“How?” Sister Song asked.Blake then explained that he could create a teleportation formation that didn’t need a second formation for the link. All he had to do was visualize
Blake awoke with a start, not knowing why he had a bad feeling in his heart. Shaking the feeling away, he rose before dawn today and stroked the embers to cause the fire to erupt again so he could prepare breakfast. They were close to Empire City; with Blake’s teleporting, they shaved a few days from their trip, and Blake was anxious about locating Claire. Preparing the meal, the intense aromas entered Sister Song’s tent, waking her from her slumber; during their time together, Sister Song had been cultivating, and last night, she broke through into Martial Master early stage with Blake’s help as they held hands dual-cultivating. She had also begun to utilize her swordsmanship better with the help of her Spirit Sword.When she exited the tent, she witnessed Blake over the fire preparing their meal and sighed inwardly, knowing they were close to finding his wife, and he would eventually leave to return home.“Come before it gets cold,” Blake said, hearing her exit the tent. Sister Son
At this accusation, Sister Song stood up, ready with her sword. What was this nonsense? How could she blatantly announce that Brother Blake was to be her husband?‘A simple meal just became complicated.’ Blake thought, preparing another dish for Xuanlu.“Cough, sorry to disappoint, but I already have a wife,” Blake said as he handed her another plate and motioned Sister Song to calm down.“Of course you do. I would not expect anything less of the exceptional man I choose.” Xuanlu said and ate with the same ravenous appetite.“No offense, but we just met, and I don’t know you.” Blake continued to turn her down.“But yet you are kind enough to feed a stranger and bested me with your cooking skills. So whoever beats me is bound to become my husband and the heir of the Chai family of the Southern Provenance. BURP!” Xuanlu said as she placed her small hand over her mouth as the burp escaped. “Pardon.”Blake could only laugh over this situation and shake his head in disbelief.“Okay, how ab
Blake was stunned as the woman on top of him was still crying, not caring that the people around them were observing this scene unfolding before them. Blake patted the woman that was on him and tried to soothe her to get off of him.“Mam, please, if you will, can we get up so we can properly introduce ourselves?” Blake said, still patting her shoulder to get her to realize their situation. But before they could rise, a cry came from the crowd.“Unhand her, you beast.” Another woman called out, rushing to their side.Blake looked up at the woman who was fuming over them. She had long black hair fair complexion, and green eyes. She quickly took the woman off of Blake, and he looked better at the clinging woman. She was the spitting image of the upset woman, only her bosom was a bit smaller.“I’m sorry, but I’m innocent; as you can see, she was the one holding onto me,” Blake explained as he dusted himself off the road’s dust. “There are witnesses to justify my actions.”“Sister, he was
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
