“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
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
