“The man there in the middle row.” Blake pointed at a middle-aged man in a suit.“I hear that you have sullied the relationship between a man and a woman with your proposed bill for multiple wives and same-sex marriages. How can you sleep at night knowing you are going against God’s teachings? Do you realize you will be sentenced to hell?” The man asked, looking hostile at Blake.“Sir, I wonder how I am going against God’s will?” Blake asked.“It’s clearly stated that a union should be for a single man and woman to be together in their marriage. Thou shalt not commit adultery is one of the Ten Commandments, and you, sir, indeed have broken this if you have multiple lovers.” The man stated.“In the Old Testament it was Abraham who was told by God to take another wife. Lot impregnated his daughters. King David had multiple wives.” Blake refuted. “The Bible has many stories of men taking on multiple partners, and as for adultery is concern one has to not have the permission and respect o
Blake, Xuanlu, and Hana left the compound in the carriage arranged for their departure. When they arrived, the palace was heavily guarded by soldiers wearing metal armor and helmets that barely could see their faces. The soldiers gave Blake an ominous feeling, like looking at a great enemy. Dismissing this feeling, he entered the court, handed his invitation to the staff, and walked in with the two ladies on each arm, Xuanlu and Hana. When they entered, it had already begun, and many of the guests were seated in their designated areas. The Emperor and Empress were sitting above the large room on golden thrones in lavish robes, dictating the colors of the provenance. The First Prince was sitting beside them, only one level lower, and the two twin princesses were right below him. The Second Prince was nowhere to be found. After the humiliation he had received by marrying a pig, he had secretly left the provenance to another for him to receive another wife.As tradition, Blake, Xuanlu,
Blake looked at the princess and could only shake his head. If she were a bit more pleasing and asked, he would have indeed given it to her, but she decided to treat him as someone beneath her.“Is this the attitude of a wife to her husband?” Blake asked, shocking the two women.Indeed this was not the attitude a wife in the Inner World should have. Since the beginning, the wife was always one step behind her husband, took care of the husband, and gave great respect to the husband. It didn’t matter if the husband was poor, wealthy, common, or prestigious, the golden fact was the wife would always be behind, never in front.“Humph, we are not married yet,” Lian said with a smirk.“And you may never will with that attitude,” Blake remarked. “I may consider only marrying your sister and leave you with only a marital promise.”This surprised Lian and Baihe. How could he only marry one and not the other when it’s been decreed for the two to marry him?“You wouldn’t dare,” Ian called out, m
“What is all this about?” The Emperor asked, not able to keep still as his oldest son was making a scene.“Father, I tested out some newly aquired spices for the food from sister. I placed too much, and it was not to my liking.” The First Prince stated the cause of his outburst.“Father, it was all my fault; I didn’t properly explain the conditions of the spices to brother,” Beihe said, looking down in shame. She didn’t want to bring harm to her brother or to Blake taking the blame.The Emperor, seeing the situation, only nodded and replied. “Be more aware of your surroundings and be more cautious next time.”“I believe it was all a plot set up by Sir Elon,” Lian said, trying to stir up trouble again.“Sister, it was I who didn’t inform. Don’t try and cause harm to others.” Beihe said, looking at her sister with a stern look.“Humph.” Was all Lian returned with?“First Prince, besides the cayenne pepper incident, how were the other spices towards the food? I was thinking of selling th
Silence in the hall as the Emperor contemplated the situation. If it was anyone else that Blake, he would have become enraged and thrown him into the dungeon to await execution. But he was the one who brought the Heavenly Dao and is betrothed to his daughters, plus a Formations Master whom he needs the most.“We will continue this conversation after the celebration. I am curious about what trades the Upper World will bring to our world.” The Emperor said and dropped the matter to The First Prince’s disappoint ment. He had hoped his Father would have captured Blake and executed him on the spot.“I will await your command, but as a token of good faith and marketing ploy, I will issue these spices for everyone here to enjoy,” Blake said, and many bottles of the spices arrived at everyone’s table for them to place into their foods.Everyone was delighted and began to sprinkle the herbs and spices onto their foods, and from their first bite, they were hooked. A hundred gold, no hundreds of
This was a definite slap to those who thought he would accept a challenge from a suitor for the hand of Chai Xuanlu. If he had accepted the challenge, was he not accepting Chai Xuanlu’s choice? This would have disrespected her as a person. Besides, with his strength, the man had no chance of winning against him.The celebration continued and the Emperor then rose from his seat and got everyone’s attention.“Distinguished guests. I thank you for coming. As our honored guest showed such skills yesterday, we created this marvelous feast. Surprisingly, he is from such a marvelous place as the Upper World to have such strength at a young age. As the Emperor of the Inner World, I will cordially welcome such a powerhouse to our world. Welcome.” The Emperor said with a smile and lifted his goblet to Blake, who lifted his to accept this warm welcome.“That being said, I also want to bring up a disturbing situation for the four provenances. With the turbulent quake that had been unleashed a few
The celebration ended on this downward note; Blake and Xuanlu left Hana at the carriage and went to see the Emperor. When they received clearance, they entered and gave a courteous bow to the Emperor.“You are the Formation Master who insulted my son.” The Emperor blurred out, not showing any hostility, just stating a fact.“The Emperor has eyes that see clearly, but I was not going to hide it any longer. Your son faired off lightly for having set his hands on my wife,” Blake said casually and went and took a seat without permission. Showing how brazen he was in front of the Emperor.“I could have you arrested and thrown in prison.” The Emperor said, looking at Blake.“What, no tea? How can you treat your guest like this? As for prison, I don’t think you want a pile of rubble left behind.” Blake said. “Oh, this inhibiting array in the room? Trash.”Blake then released his aura and the center of the room runes lit up and then disappeared.The Emperor’s eyes widen. Not only did Blake fi
“Alright, well, you have sampled some of the resources I can bring to the Inner World, and the agreement has been finished, Miss. Chai Xuanlu and I will depart; your Majesty doesn’t have to see us out. Come Xuanlu.” Blake said while looking a the royal seal on his document agreement with the Emperor.When the couple left the room, the Emperor took another swallow of his wine, and his eyes became shrewd with a scheming look.“Why did you let him leave like that?” The person who entered the room was none other than the Emperess. “We’ve confirmed that he was the one who framed my Xiang Ma. We could send the guards to retain him here and have him executed.”“If we do that, will we even survive? Listen, he’s already a Martial Ancestor cultivator. How do you believe we can arrest such a force? He destroyed the array here with only his aura. Leave Master Blake Elon to me; I’m already ahead of him. He wants to start a trade route between the two worlds. I’ll allow this, but will it be smooth?
“No one is saying for you to leave,” Xuanlu said, seeing the fear and panic in Jacqueline’s eyes.“But you must also show kindness and love towards my husband. Don’t think I didn’t see your hostility towards Blake earlier.” Xuanlu said with an evil grin.Jacqueline nodded, sighing in relief, looked at Blake, and showed a loving smile. This was the magic of the dragon’s aura on a mortal. They would do anything required of them by their Master. Right now, Xuanlu was Jacqueline’s Master.“Mistress, Master, I, Jacqueline, will take good care of the both of you for the rest of my life,” Jacqueline stated and, without warning, began to undress.Jacqueline hadn’t much; she only had a grey wool dress with nothing underneath. Her large breasts were exposed, and a mound of hair hiding her valley of womanhood became visible as she stood before the couple, waiting for their command.Xuanlu was startled as the woman before them stripped of her clothing and awaited their commands. Blake would be ly
The color went out of his face, and he stared at the two women, his love clinging to the other’s neck. He blinked a few times as the situation couldn’t be processed instantly. Jacqueline was leaving him for another woman; leaving for another man was one thing, but for another woman? Granted, Xuanlu was a gorgeous woman, the most beautiful he had ever laid eyes upon, but for the love of his life to say she preferred another woman over him, to see her giving the other woman such a kiss that he had never received, his stupified feelings became anger.Grabbing the embedded cleaver, Brutus swung it towards the two women. The force and momentum of the swing would split Jacqueline into two, but a sound of metal hitting metal was suddenly heard, and Brutus's force was stopped instantly.“Cling”Brutus was shocked at the scene he was seeing. There, on his clever that could slice an animal through and through bone, was being held by two fingers accompanied by Blake.“Sir, I believe you are bein
“Master and Misses. Please, this way.” Soto Asa said and beckoned them to the entrance of the restaurant.Blake and Xuanlu entered the building only to find that it more or less looked like a tavern than a restaurant. What were they expecting? This was, after all, a small village. Ignoring the decore, they sat at one of the tables as many were curious why such royalty was coming here.A nervous young woman arrived and smiled her best at the couple. With a massive bustline and hourglass figure, she looked like she would be the most beautiful in the village. She was quite the looker, with an innocence on her face. She has wavy, long, auburn hair and blue eyes. But compared to Xuanlu, she paled in appearance.“What can we do for you?” She asked, smiling intensely.“What meals do you recommend for breakfast?” Xuanlu asked with a lovely voice that the men and woman fell in love with upon hearing.Since her cultivation had risen, Xuanlu’s seductive dragon aura had also risen, making her mor
Blake Prime was sitting in a luxurious carriage, being pulled by four white horses with black horns on their heads. His eyes closed as they traveled to the middle of the Provenances to meet with the Emperor. He suddenly opened his eyes with a smile. Xuanlu, sitting next to him, was sleeping soundly, laying her head on his shoulder.“What a formidable Seal,” Blake said. In the past, when his clones were far away, they could not communicate with one another until they were rejoined or closer together, causing them to lapse with the information arriving swiftly. This changed since the Mind Palace had the Stone Steely arrive with the Scripture. They were indeed one but not one. It was complex, but it was worth it not to have this weakness. Everything the clones were doing now was within Blake’s knowledge. Still, he could also stop the information when they required alone time with his women so he would not be distracted during a critical situation and vice versa.Blake then looked down at
Lucy was startled and cried out when the Soul Brand was placed on her soul for Blake to control her. She didn’t think that Blake would use such an unscrupulous method on her.“I’m taking precautions. How am I to know if you have a way to break the Dao pledge? This way, you can’t use other methods to deceive me. If you had been honest with me initially, maybe I would have trusted you more.” Blake Three stated with a smirk.In truth, Lucy did have a way to break the oath but didn’t want to bring it out until the last moment and stab Blake in the back. But now, with the Scripture Soul Brand upon her soul, she had no other choice but to obey Blake’s will and command.If Lucy had known that Blake had such malice intentions upon her, she would have never revealed the Soul Brand and its power over others. She looked over at Bob, gritted her teeth, and blamed Bob for telling Michael about their seals.Bob looked at Lucy apologetically. All she wanted to do was ease Michael’s worries, but she
“Hey, I’m not a devil. I’m a Fallen Angel.” Lucy replied. Taking offense to what Sylvia had said.“Okay, don’t get your panties in a bunch. I was only joking with the fellow. Besides, you look great. Do you want to get tea later?” Sylvia replied.“Sylvia. This is not the time.” Blake Three stated, shaking his head in disbelief at his cousin constantly hitting on his women.“I was only being friendly, a goodwill gesture for my joke at her expense.” Sylvia gave an innocent look towards the group, making her seem being wronged by Blake Three.“Claire is taking the stage, so to speak. Let’s listen to what she has to say.” Blake Three said, changing the subject.“Thank you all for coming. I want to inform you all that there has been a breach on Earth and many other planets where the Upper Realm had released many to cause damage to the people and bring them closer to the church for salvation. A Fallen had orchestrated this with the help of the Upper Realm’s Guardian of the Heavenly Tribulat
An hour had passed, and all were ready to depart. The many women surrounding Claire waited impatiently when two children and a black horse with a golden horn arrived.“I said for you two to come along, why a horse. Why are you bringing a horse with you?” Claire asked, surprised to see Huang’s arrival.“He also wanted to travel and wouldn’t take no for an answer.” Ye Chen embarrassingly stated, placing his hand behind his head.This reminded Claire of Blake, and she could not help but smile a little.“It’s fine, Mother. Huang will be of great help.” Elsie stated but didn’t elaborate.All went to the Transportation Formation, and soon, a blue hue surrounded them. They had to enter the Empire City’s Transportation formation to arrive in the Small World.“Why doesn’t Blake utilize his skill and have all the Formations travel to the Small World?” Sylvia wondered.“It’s a fallback plan. With only one hub, it’ll stop accidents from happening and have people arriving in the Small World.” Sara
Ye Chen and Su Yuhan stopped their sparing and watched as their Master’s wife was talking and arguing with herself. When Claire noticed, she became embarrassed over her actions since she didn’t keep it inside while talking with Roseline.“That’s all for today. Go and have fun. All cultivation and no relaxing can cause bottlenecks in the future. Keep it all equal; work and fun go hand in hand.” Claire said, and then she departed from the courtyard, with the confused children watching her rushing over to her room.Claire entered her mind Palace and encountered Goddess Roseline standing there looking at Claire with sorrow.“Claire, I’m….” Roseline began but was interrupted by Claire.“Save it. We have much to discuss.” Claire said, looking at Roseline indifferently.“You’re right. As far as my Grandfather said, the people that have infiltrated the Earth are hiding in a place known for its war-torn environment, making them hide their auras. I’m unfamiliar with your world’s landscape, but
Roseline could have sworn that she had misheard her Grandfather.“There is no return mission, so will all those people?” Roseline asked.“It’s been decided that they will be eliminated when their worth is no longer needed, or if they can ascend again, the Heavenly Tribulation will be used to the max and destroy them without a soul to return,” Harold said, looking at Roseline.“Well, you are now back, and they will not be used in such a manner. You can stop them.” Roseline said, looking like a heroine.“It’s too late. They have already descended and are waiting on the sign to attack.” Harold said, disheartened.“Already? How many?” Roseline asked.“As many as a million strong. They are in a remote area, keeping a low profile, not even releasing their auras due to a powerful individual who showed himself, so they will not be discovered until the destructive force arrives.” Harold said, shaking his head, depressed for what he had allowed to be done through being controlled.Roseline thou
