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 Second Prince Xiang Ma was pacing back and forth in his room. Who let the rumor out that his betrothed was a Spirit Sprite? He had dispatched the doctor before he left the Sect, and no one else would have had the nerve to go against him. His first thought was Hana, but she hadn’t left her room, and he was told that she was in isolated cultivation to raise her level.While the Second Prince Xiang Ma was mulling over the events, the First Prince Xiang Liu was calmly sitting and drinking his wine when a man kneeled before him.“So that servant had a secret. Is the information you received reliable?” Xiang Liu asked the man kneeling.“My lord, it is from a very reliable source. The woman you chose for the Second Prince came from the Upper World and is a Spirit Sprite. She was taken about a week ago and was hidden within the Flowing Sword Sect by the daughter of the Head Master, Levin Hana.” The man was none other than Hayes Daniel.Xiang Liu took a sip of his wine from his cup and cal
“I’ll tell. The Second Prince Xiang Ma has fancied her and will make her his wife tomorrow.” Daniel said not able to take the killing intent from Blake.“As I figured, Claire is the only Spirit Sprite in Upper World. Tell me what Hana did to her to go along with this farce.” Blake asked, releasing him from his killing intent.“She dusted her with memory loss sleep dust. It was by accident but beneficial to us.” Daniel said, forgetting who he was talking to under his disappointment. “Well, to Hana, at least, I couldn’t even dual-cultivate with her to bring my rank up like Hana.”“Would you like a whole body or paste?” Blake asked, sending his killing intent again to Daniel when Sister Song pulled on his sleeve.Blake retracted his killing intent and looked at her.“Yes?” Blake asked.“Brother, the memory loss dust has no antidote. She has lost all her memories and will not remember you or her past life.” Sister Song explained to Blake with concern.“Okay, I understand, but one problem
“Can you imagine? Saying an intruder getting inside Flowing Sword Sect, much less being able to steal the bride. What is this a fantasy story?” Elsie said and looked at the book Camila was reading. “Like that one you read to us with the prince swooping in and saving the girl from the evil villain taking his true love and trying to marry her.”“Now, let’s get you ready for tomorrow’s big day with the Prince. Not like an evil villain will come and take you away from your Prince.” Helenor said and walked into the large puddle of water on the floor.“My lady, what has happened here? Why is water all over the floor?” Helenor asked with a look of bewilderment.“Well, I wouldn’t say I’m an evil villain, but the Prince swooping in and saving the damsel in distress.” Blake suddenly appeared beside Claire.“AH! INTRUDER!” Elsie called out.“No use. I set up a soundproof barrier around the room, and you can scream until your lungs give out, and no one will hear you.” To their surprise, Blake ann
In the end, the Head Master agreed, and Blake opened the door that Hana was beating on to reenter. Stumbling inside, she got her foothold and composed herself.“Congratulations on your upcoming wedding,” Blake announced as she reentered the room.“Wedding? What wedding? Father?” Hana had a foreboding feeling this was not going to be good.Seeing the door open, Daniel began to inch his way out, but when he reached the exit, he couldn’t move.“Daniel, don’t think I have forgotten about you. What to do, what to do, with you. You are the little bird that told everyone about Claire being a Spirit Sprite; am I wrong?” Blake asked, walking to him.“How could I? I would never have done such a thing, maybe Hana?” Daniel began to make excuses.“Daniel, how could you?” Hana called out.“There were only three people who knew Claire’s secret. Head Master, he would not betray the Second Prince, Hana, but she is too cunning, and then there is you. Someone who got a rather large payout, am I right?”
“Well, as long as you know you were wrong,” Sister Song said, seeing him bow down to her.“What was this all about anyways?” Sister Song asked Blake.“I’ll explain later, but for now, I must let you know what happened,” Blake said, leading her out of the room.While they were going down the hall to reach his room to talk, they met with Xuanlu looking for Blake.“Could you follow me to the kitchen? It’s almost time for dinner.” Xuanlu said looking at Blake licking her lips as if she could taste his cooking.“Yes, of course, lead the way,” Blake said, and they went towards the kitchen area.“Did you find your wife?” Sister Song asked as they walked. But Xuanlu stopped mid-step and turned to face Blake.“She is safe,” Blake said, not wanting to reveal anything in front of Xuanlu.“So, you found her. Was she the one getting married to the Second Prince?” Xuanlu asked as they continued to the kitchen.“No, it’s someone else marrying the prince tomorrow,” Blake commented.“I heard there 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
