Chapter 40: Leaving The City
System, give some additional rewards for this blood demon sect.
Host, what are you talking about? There is no additional reward.
Do you think I will deal with this additional Blood Demon sect trouble, which comes with your quest for free? I need competition.
Host, you are again making unreasonable demands.
There’s nothing unreasonable; I’m just doing the quest, but not for free. This quest was to save this girl, but you only mention people from the sky. Now, you want me to deal with these Blood Demon Sect people for free.
Host... you... ok, what do you want this time?
Good, now you have come to the point. This time, I just want a simple cultivation technique for mortals. And no more of your gambling things.
Host, I have a lot of cultivation techniques. Tell me your criteria so I can get the best one.
Um, it has to be super easy enough to be usable by mortals and have a fast result. Oh, yeah, get a dual cultivation one.
Host, according to your description, I have a lot of techniques. Do you have any other specific requirements
No, just get the best one you think.
Host, this Yin Yang Reversal technique is one of the best dual cultivation skills in the world, and it’s not just dual cultivation; it has many other uses.
Ok. Final it. Give me a scroll.
A golden scroll appeared in my hands. I looked at this, giving this scroll to her. While saying, "From now on, you will work for me. This scroll carries the secrets of immortals. It is an advance payment for your future work."
The woman reacted quickly, bowing her head on the ground.
"Thanks for your blessing, Lord Immortal."
’Lord Immortal... good, at least she got a bit of intelligence.’
"Ok, stand up and take it, and remember this can only be taught to the one you trust. Though I don’t care about others knowing it, it may cause you some trouble. So, be cautious"
After this small warning, I left the room. Outside, I saw the same woman whom I saved last night. Ignoring her, I went out of this brothel, waiting for others to come out.
Once everyone was ready, we left the place. While leaving, I also dealt with 3 more Blood Demon Sect disciples.
Right now, we are on the carriage moving towards another city, something which would truly be beautiful, not like this one. We also got another free loader in our group.
The carriage was moving forward, slowly, as I was enjoying this nature again, but it wasn’t as peaceful as before cause now we have a new kid to take care of.
"Young Master, look at this, is it cute?"
I looked at what she was showing, it was an ugly painting of little black. It doesn’t even look like little black.
"What, you called it cute? What the hell is this? Even a 5-year-old kid can draw better than it."
That girl remained silent, but... the woman looked at me as if I had done something wrong.
"What..."
"Young Master, why don’t you teach her drawing? Maybe she will learn quicker if you teach her."
The woman passed the colour and paper to me.
"I don’t have time for these things. Let her learn by herself."
I turned, looking outside from the carriage, continuing to enjoy nature’s beauty. While they continue to cause trouble inside.
We travelled for almost the whole day, finally stopping in the middle of a beautiful forest setting up our camp.
I sat beside a small campfire while these were setting up tents. Little Black was also sitting beside me.
As I was immersed in this beautiful fire, a scream came from behind.
"Aaah..."
I turned her to ask what happened, and I saw a green snake wrapped around my black bull, his teeth sinking into the bull’s skin.
’Fuck, this, I can’t even enjoy a single second of peace.’
I summoned a fire, throwing it at the green snake and burning it with the down, also healing the bull at the same time. After dealing with it, I went back to relax again.
I sat there watching the bonfire burning, emitting the warm light on my face, then I realised, something... I am becoming more and more dependent on this Fire. Maybe it didn’t matter. If things can be done in a simple way, it wasn’t a problem.
"Young Master, food is ready."
I stood up and went to have a meal with everyone. While I was eating, I had a feeling of being watched. I turned to little black, who was staring at the sky. I followed his gaze, looking at the sky filled with clouds; nothing else was visible, even the moonlight was hidden, but the strange feeling of being watched came from there.
I went to little black, gently rubbing his head.
"Ignore whatever it is, until they cause trouble."
Saying this, Little black, we started eating again, ignoring whatever the gaze belongs to.
After the meal, we all lay in our tents. While I just can’t sleep, without knowing the cause.
I stood up, walked out of the tent, and looked at a sky filled with clouds and cold wind brushing past my skin. The weather was to my liking, but the feeling of something watching made me uneasy.
I just stared at the sky for a while. Suddenly, a drop of water landed on my face, waking me up from my daze, as I quickly moved inside the tent, followed by heavy rain. Luckily, I came inside the tent in time.
I continue to watch the rain from inside. As time passed, the rain continued to intensify, and the tent no longer could hold the rain off. We all quickly went inside the carriage, watching the rain becoming more and more... terrifying.
I looked at the girl who was shivering in the cold. The woman was hugging her, covering her in a blanket. While Little black also sat beside me, staring at the sky.
