“Who are you, and how did you get in here?” Sister Melisa asked coldly.“The answer to your prayers.” The man said, ignoring the question. “I’m Azrael. I wish to observe this, Blake Elon, for the time being before we commence on anything that may attract too much attention to ourselves,” Azrael said, indifferent to the three people in the room.“Like the archangel Azrael, the angel of death.” Father Ding commented, thinking of the biblical text.“You could say that,” Azrael said with a smile.There was another knocking on the door, and Azrael opened it to the surprise of Father Stan and Sir Aldridge, seeing another priest’s arrival. When Azrael looked closely at Sir Aldridge, it was the first time a look of astonishment was seen on Azrael.“Time displacement. Did this Blake Elon do this to you?” Azrael asked when the two men entered.“Yes, he said that it was a punishment for trying to dispose of him and that he didn’t want to go against the church.” Sir Aldridge said. “What is time d
“Ye Chen and Su Yuhan have been diligently cultivating on their own. Su Yuhan awoke from her ordeal soon after you left and is unaware of what had happened. We only told her that she had utilized too much Qi and became unconscious. Sister Claire had replenished her Spirit Qi, and she broke through to the middle Foundation realm. You could say she profited from misfortune when she was drained from all her Spirit Qi.” Xuanlu explained.“Ye Chen hasn’t displayed any abnormalities since the incident?” Blake asked.“No, his attention has been only on cultivating and tending to his horse,” Xuanlu replied.Blake nodded and knew that the horse was an old Heaven Dao who would help guide Chen.“Well, it’s late. Let’s retire for the day, and I will instruct the children in the morning. Has there been any news on any in the dragon clan who is about to give birth?” Blake suddenly asked. He hadn’t even discussed this with Xuanlu, who is a white dragon he had kept his thoughts on the rebirth of Drak
Blake awoke the following day feeling refreshed, and he looked at the two women in his bed sleeping peacefully in each other’s arms. He smiled, remembering the love they shared together last night. Taking turns in causing the women’s passion to be released as well as his. He rose from the bed so as to not disturb the women and headed to wash the night’s sexual residue from his body when he realized he had not created a barrier to suppress their auras to stay within the room the night before and realized the trouble that may follow from his mistake. He would have to deal with it in time; for now, he wanted to wash up.When he finished his bath, he was startled when Elsie and Helenor rushed into the room, looking flustered.“Apologies, we were cultivating and lost all track of time; please punish us,” Elise said, bowing to Blake.“Shush. The ladies are still sleeping, don’t disturb them. As for your lateness, forget it; I’m happy that you two are working hard in your cultivation to foll
“Chai Xuanlu, what nonsense are you saying? It’s because of his cowardness that he ran from me over in Empire City.” Shensheng said, looking at the woman at the entrance.“He never accepted your challenge. Were you not listening during the celebration?” Xuanlu asked.“I sent out the challenge letter that can’t be denied.” Shensheng rebutted.“And if he had accepted it, you would have long been dead. Blake is already a Martial Ancestor. With your cultivation realm, you would disappear from this world with a flick of his finger.” Xuanlu tried to persuade Shensheng to give up.“What? No! I don’t believe it; he has no aura!” Shensheng protested as to believe Xuanlu he would have been killed with a mere thought.“It’s true, Xuanlu has no reason to lie,” Gary said to defend Xuanlu’s accusation.Heise Shensheng became silent as a cold shiver came to his spine with the revelation of hearing how powerful his challenger was. He looked at Gary and then at Xuanlu as if in a panic.“Mistress Chai
Ye Chen rose from his position with cracking of his bones, for he had been in that position for most of the evening and night. He looked, and the sun had risen higher in the sky, and his stomach growled at him. He decided to leave after washing and visit his Mother after gathering breakfast for the two of them. Entering the kitchen, Ye Chen gathered two plates of the delicious food and left with a tray of food for his Mother and him. Knocking on her door, she allowed him in, and he entered, seeing his Mother donning a lavash robe and her hair neatly in a tight bun. He looked at her in awe for he had never seen her looking like this. She had been a servant to the Su family his entire life, and all she would wear were servant’s clothing. To Ye Chen, she looked like a goddess.“Mother, I have breakfast for us.” Ye Chen said and placed the tray on the nearest table and distributed the food for them to enjoy.Ye Wien smiled lovingly at her Son when she saw how he was preparing the meals fo
“Okay, I see, but she is a woman, and I will not be changing my surname to Chai; how is it that I will become the new head? It’s all confusing.” Blake said, remembering that he had not talked to Xuanlu about all the details and only accepted the situation as it was presented to him without caring.“This you would have to discuss with her for I do not know.” Ye Wien said.“Something I will have to ponder in the near future for now is all the misunderstanding cleared?” Blake asked the Mother and Son.Ye Chen was silent, trying to absorb everything his Mother had said.“So you fled with me while you were pregnant?” Ye Chen asked to get a better understanding.“Yes, for your and my safety, I hid the fact I was pregnant with you and fled out of the Chai family and found refuge with the Su family here in Fargone City.” Ye Wien explained further.“You didn’t even tell him about me?” Ye Chen asked.“No. If I had….” Ye Wien began.“So he doesn’t even know I even exist?” Ye Chen asked with a bi
“Well, you were not as well.” Ye Chen said, looking at her with a coy smile.“I was only testing you.” Su Yuhan said that she had been holding back since Ye Chen had only begun his cultivation yesterday, and she had fought for a few years. “Let’s give it our all then.”They began their fight again, but this time, it was more severe. Their blows had the force to send anyone under the Formation realm out of the courtyard. After a few blows, Su Yuhan began to show fatigue under the strain of the competition. Ye Chen was in a better state as his Golden Core was supplying him with Spirit Qi throughout the match. If it continued like this, her defeat would be assured in a few more blows. Ye Chen then stopped his sparing with her.“Why did you stop?” Su Yuhan asked under strained breath.“It’s a tie. We are evenly matched.” Ye Chen said with a calm breath, not wanting to hurt her feelings. “You did well.”“Nonsense! We need to continue and see who is better.” Su Yuhan said under her hard bre
“Well, I’m sure you will make an outstanding contribution to the city,” Jaden said, holding his glass to Blake. Blake reciprocated with a nod.“With Lady Bruma Joselin as my adviser, I’m sure I will.” Blake retorted back.Shock was seen on everyone’s faces. Did he say Lady Bruma Joselin was his adviser? Was she not the daughter of Master Bruma of the Merchant’s Guild?“Cough, did you say that Master Bruma’s daughter is your adviser?” The same man who had spoken up before asked.“Yes, Lady Bruma Joselin is my adviser and a liaison to the Merchant Guild. When my shop opens in the near future, I hope you will help guide me as well.” Blake said with a smile.There was uneasiness across the room upon hearing that Lady Bruma Joselin was handling Blake’s shops within the city. They thought that a fat goose was here to be plucked but to go against the Merchant Guild’s liaison and Daughter to Master Bruma, who could afford it. How could Blake not see through their tricks, so he decided to stop
