“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?
Blake looked at Sylvia, and with a wave of his hand a hot pot of coffee was before her. In Blake’s Space Pouch he had collected many items from Earth and had prepared them readily. Being in the Space Pouch, nothing could deteriorate or spoil, As it was entered as it would exit.“Thank you. You are my lifesaver.” Sylvia called out as she poured herself a cup and sighed in satisfaction.“Could you please?” Claire asked.Sylvia looked over to Claire and handed her the coffee pot so she could partake in the wholesomeness.Blake looked over the table and smiled. This was what he needed to recuperate.“Uhm, may I ?” Sister Song asked, looking at the coffee.Claire smiled and handed her the pot as well. Sister Song had grown fond of this bitter water they call coffee.“I can’t understand how you can withstand such taste. If it were, I would have settled for hot chocolate.” Xuanlu stated, looking in Blake’s direction.Blake sighed, and a large thermos appeared before Xuanlu. Xuanlu hurridly a
Blake watched Sylvia’s back as she departed and shook his head. He definitely felt a presence not belonging to Sylvia. Blake had known his third cousin since they were little and could sense another presence within her. If the other person didn’t show any hostility or killing intent towards his woman or himself, he would ignore it for now, but if anything happens to anyone, may god have mercy on their souls. But for now, he would leave it be and focus on other matters. He and a few were to leave today and head over to the Chai family in the Southern Provenance and reunite Xuanlu with her family.Helen, Sister Song, Claire, Elsie and Helenor were coming while Sylvia and Hana were staying to oversee the beginning of their trading company here in the Inner World market. With Sylvia’s knowledge of sales, it should be easy for them to establish a profitable business.Blake went to where the teleportation formation was located this area was the safest spot for the next plan of action. How c
Blake’s clone was awakened by a soft body sleeping over him. Looking at the person, he smiled at her beautiful sleeping face. Turning his head, the exact same face was sleeping on the opposite side of him. If Blake Prime was here he would have been thrilled being sandwiched between these two women. Tabitha and Tabby had unsatiable appetites last night and took Blake’s clone for a long ride.So he wouldn’t disturb their very needed rest, be teleported out of bed, arrive in the bathroom, and begin to shower off the night’s wild ride. Feeling refreshed after he changed, and smiled at the two sisters as they began to stir.“Morning, my dears,” Blake said, smiling at the two.“Morning.” The two said in stereo.“I’ll be leaving for Philidelphia with Susan for a few days,” Blake said, giving them all a good morning kiss.“We are going to be presenting our last commercial before the vote. I believe you will be happy with the results.” Tabitha said.“I’m sure I will.” Well, I’m off; see you in
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
