Chapter 38: Survivor from the Fallen Immortal Sect
This random city is quite nice. I was wandering in the streets with lots of vendors selling their shitty things. I had tried a few local cuisines, and they were really delicious. But in the meantime, that mf Little Black got lost somewhere.
"Young Master, look there."
The woman tugged at my sleeves. When I looked in the direction she was pointing, I saw Little Black standing on the chest of a girl around 15 or 16 years old.
Fuck, this mf definitely won’t let me have a peaceful day.
I quickly went to the girl who was lying on the ground. I picked up the Little Black in my arms and looked at the girl; her face was covered in dust, and even her clothes were ragged like a beggar’s.
The woman quickly went to support the girl, helping her stand up, while gently cleaning her face with the corner of her clothes.
"Are you ok?"
"Hm, Thank... You."
The girl replied to the woman’s concerns in a very low voice. While I was still observing her from the side. I noticed the girl’s hand clutching something glowing on her neck. I went closer to her.
Can I see the thing in your neck?
She quickly used both her hands to cover it while looking scared. She stared at me with her tearful eyes.
Hey, I just want to take a look at it, nothing else.
"Um..."
I ignored her and went straight to snatching that thing from her hands. As my figure touched it, another quest appeared.
Special Mission: Ancient Curse
Description: A curse that had destroyed the fallen Immortal sect in the past, leaving only two survivors. No, the people in the sky are coming again. You have to find the secret behind this curse and solve it before it’s too late.
Yes/No
Huh, System, what is it?
Host, she is one of the two survivors of the Fallen Immortal sect. And you have to find the reason why those people from the sky are after them.
Fuck you, I know that too.
"Young Master, please return her pendant."
I looked at the woman who had changed sides so quickly. I took one more look at the pedant. A small white pearl, but no longer glowing like before. I gave it back to the crying girl. She quickly grabbed it.
After a little bit of crying, she finally calmed down. The woman was taking care of her. In the meantime, I got a few snacks for myself. I also passed a few snacks to the woman, who gave it to the girl.
A few minutes later, we were wandering in the city as usual with one new member in our group. I looked at this new girl, and the woman was helping out choose a wearable dress.
I don’t know how long it gonna take them.
Awo...
"Young Master, see, it would look good on you."
I don’t wear these cheap clothes. Hmph!
I went out of the place, letting them do their shopping. While I look for something fun outside. This city, though, wasn’t as big or grand as Vermillion City. But it has a much larger crowd than any other city I’ve stayed in.
I was looking at people passing like tidal waves, and felt something, something... different. As this feeling was intensifying in my heart, the woman’s voice came from behind.
"Young Master..."
I quickly turned and saw that the poor girl was wearing a flowery pattern dress, much better than her ragged clothes. The woman was carrying a lot of packages.
’At least someone had a good time.’
Let go, we have to find a place to stay, I am getting sleepy.
She nodded, and we went to find a good place to stay.
Waah... Fuck this City.
"Young Master, don’t worry, there are many more inns we should check out there."
After checking into a few inns, we didn’t even find a single room.
This city is Trash; I have known from the start.
"Aunt Lin... I know a place but..."
Oh, you know, take me there.
As I was frustrated over this matter, that poor girl opened her mouth, saying something good for the first time.
"But..."
What, but, take me there.
"Young master, let her speak first."
It doesn’t matter; I will deal with whatever the problem is.
The girl led the way, and we walked through a few alleys. It was so confusing that I can’t even remember how many turns we had taken. As we were walking deeper into these alleys. I noticed the city’s glory started to fade more, looking like a slum instead of a beautiful city.
’I should have known from the start what kind of place this brat can take us.’
I continued following, but this place was becoming even more disgusting, with some wretched people staring at us. Some even had been following us for a long time.
I was still walking silently, ignoring all these insects following us, when Little Black suddenly dashed into one of the alleys, and a loud explosion came from there. I also reacted quickly, going after him.
When I appeared in front of the alley where the explosion came from, I saw Little Black again standing on another girl’s chest.
’Fuck, this mf, definitely becoming a pervert.’
I walked closer to them, and I saw he was also biting on a black flag covered with some hideous faces in his mouth.
I took the black flag from the Little Black’s mouth, giving it a closer look before turning to the woman below. She has purple eyes, purple lips, and even purple hair. It would have been a perfect match if not for her face, because the skin around her face was melting.
Hey, what is this flag for?
I decided to ask her about this flag.
After hesitating for a bit, the woman replied in a hoarse voice, like some old woman.
"This soul-refining flag from the Blood Demon sect."
Oh... how many souls are within it?
"Senior... there are almost 10,000 souls."
What so few... how dare you waste my time.
I threw a small fireball at this hideous woman, also burning this black flag with her.
I turned around and walked back. Giving a last look at the burning figure behind.
’Hope in the next life, you all won’t have to suffer like this.’
