"What the fuck are you guys doing?! Kill that guy already. We do not have time for drama. Do you lot want to die?" The boss of the cannon fodders shouted towards other cannon fodders.
Hearing him, other cannon fodders seems to realize something, probably that they would be killed if the mission is not completed.
I see as every cannon fodder grits their teeth as if making the biggest decision of their lives.
Every one of them took out their weapons and did a battle cry.
Shouting towards the sky, they started to run towards me. I wonder if they are feeling guilty for killing an 'innocent' father like me and then will force my 'daughter' to do their bidding.
For some reason, it did not come out that well. Leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. But since I am already acting, then why not till the end?
Seeing them coming towards me, I shift my body, so AnBai and Su Ling'er are protected while showing my back towards the cannon fodders.
I shout with despair, "Noo!"
As if to answer my shout, Su Ling'er shouted, "Big Brother!"
It seems that AnBai is tired of the drama even though it is so fun.
Soon the cannon fodders reached me. They slashed their weapons at me with their full force. As the weapons made contact with me, a loud explosion occurred, separating me from AnBai and Su Ling'er.
Dust raised and covered my surroundings.
Even though they have attacked me with their full force, not even a slight scar is created on my body. Got to give thumbs up to Immortal Physique, live up to its name.
"Now that the annoying fly is gone, why don't you come with us, little miss and girl over there?"
I heard the sound of the cannon fodders leader. He really is an idiot. He had not even checked the body and believed that his enemy is dead, or was I not even considered an enemy? Now I am sad.
"Well, time to finish this," I said as I dust the dirt off me.
As the cloud of dust settles down, I see the astonished faces of cannon fodders, especially the boss. Man, his expression is priceless.
His face tells me that he could not believe that I am alive.
Not his fault. Anyone would be surprised.
"You! How are you alive?!" He shouted at me.
Really? Well, not that I accepted much from cannon fodder.
I looked towards AnBai, who was back to her blank expression. It is quite hard to tell what she is thinking.
"Big Brother!" Su Ling'er shouted as she saw that I am safe. Such a good girl. I was thinking of leaving her for Yun Che as they had a past with each other, although in another timeline.
But it seems that is not going to happen. Such a cute girl, can't have Yun Che take her. He is already acting weird these days. I wonder what face he would make if he found out that she is alive? Really makes me look forward to it.
Though I should clarify, I am not a sadist… I think.
Now how should I deal with these guys?
Hm? I looked towards AnBai and remembered her ability. I wonder if her ability can be used to erase someone's existence.
"AnBai," I called her, gaining her attention.
"Can you try using your ability and erase their existence?" I asked.
AnBai makes a thinking face and nodded. "I can try, master."
She takes a step towards the cannon fodders, who were watching vigilantly towards her. So now they think she can hurt them? I would be surprised if they did.
AnBai points her hand towards them.
I can feel that her power is touching Time Laws. Soon, I saw as cannon fodders' starts to blur, making them horrified.
They tried using their energy to offset AnBai's 'Appearance Manipulation' but to no avail. As a last resort, the leader attack AnBai. But before he could reach her, his completely vanishes, probably from the River of Time.
Soon, memories related to his would also vanish from everyone's mind, making so that they never existed.
A really scary power. It has the same essence as 'Power of Existence', but 'Power of Existence' can only erase the existence of something. While AnBai's 'Appearance Manipulation' has more uses except for the erasure of any existence.
"What happened to them?" Su Ling'er asked me.
"Nothing. They died." Hearing me, she makes a surprise face.
"You are strong, big brother?" Now do not say that with such an innocent face. I am strong in various places, what would you know.
Patting her head, I said to her, smilingly, "Of course, I am. Can you tell me why they were trying to capture you?"
Since I am already here, let's just take the whole Continent.
Hearing my question, Su Ling'er face dims down as she said, "They were trying to capture me so they can blackmail Papa."
Hm., it seems like she does not know much about it. If I remember correctly, they should be after some kind of medicine.
"Why don't you take me to your clan? Big brother might be able to help you."
Hearing me, her face beamed, "Really?!"
Seeing me nodded, she smiles, then looks towards AnBai, "Is your daughter is also coming, big brother?"
Cough* did she really brought that shit? I thought she was acting with us. Well, whatever.
"Hm, she will. Now lead us to your father." I said, smiling.
Su Ling'er nodded and started to lead us to her clan.
During our way, we or I, as AnBai doesn't communicate much, talked with Su Ling'er about her clan, and what was happening.
Though I know most things, it is better to check. Since it is not a novel anymore, but a reality. I cannot accept it to go the same way as a novel.
Anyway, according to Su Ling'er, she is from a clan called Grandwake Clan – located under the Grandwake Divine Mountain.
Her father, Su Hengshan, is the leader of the clan, making her the clan princess.
There are twelve of these divine mountains, and her clan resides below one of them. It is not uncommon as other divine mountains also have clans under them, one of them being Blackwood Stronghold – located under the Blackwood Mountain.
Why this particular sect or clan? Well, they have a rivalry relationship with Grandwake Clan and would always find ways to trouble them.
It seems that the people following her were also from this sect.
They attacked them – Su Ling'er and her father – while they were on their way towards the clan. Her father holds most of the men and told her to escape.
Since she could not do much, she followed her father's order and ran towards the forest. But since her father could not hold all the attackers, some of them followed after her.
It seems that their goal was her all along. Her father tried to stop them but could not.
She thought she would die but met us and was saved.
After following Su Ling'er for some time, we reached a rather old looking mountain. It was filled with long trees and greenery while its peak was big enough that it was shroud to be the clouds, making it impossible to watch the peak with 'normal' eyes.
At the base of the mountain was a big mansion, surrounded by small buildings and pavilions.
It was filled with people of different ages, mostly young. But, for some reason, it was filled with panic. I wonder why?
Probably rebellion is happening, or it still has to happen, and they are worrying about Su Ling'er as she is the princess of the clan.
Just as we close the entrance of the clan, the guard looks our way. His eyes went wide as his gaze fell upon Su Ling'er.
"Miss Ling'er is back!" his shout attracted the attention of those close to him.
Some people hearing him and looking towards Su Ling'er, rushed back into the manor. Is her father home? Maybe they went to call her?
As in original, he was looking for her. But as I said, it is not a novel anymore; you cannot accept that everything will go the same, especially after watching Alice coming back alive and the mystery around the whole Darkness.
Soon, the whole clan was informed about the return of Su Ling'er.
"Ling'er!" I heard a shout of a man. Looking in his direction, I see a middle-aged man with short black hair, which surprised me as short here was quite unique in this world.
It was as if the cultivator were allergic to it. Rarely anyone had it. Not that I am in a place to say that as I, myself, has long hair. What can I do? I like long hair.
When Su Ling'er heard the calling of a middle-aged man, her eyes teared up as she lunched towards him and directly hugs him.
"Papa!" she kept calling his name as the middle-aged man kept consoling her. He must love her a lot.
"Are you alright? They did nothing to you, right?"
By 'they', he is not talking about us but the cannon fodders. Now that I think about it, how did he knew that she was being followed by them? Shouldn't their memories be erased from the mind of everyone except those who witnessed it?
Maybe there is more to AnBai's ability. I should do more research.
"Big brother and his daughter save me! They are really strong!"
Lady! That was a joke! Can you not introduce AnBai as my daughter to everyone? I am just 18, you know.
Listening to Su Ling'er, the man looks towards us wide-eyed, face plastered with shock and confusion.
He is probably thinking how the hell I have a daughter of almost the same age as me. See, even your father is not believing it. I wonder how did she believe it so easily?
After some time, his face finally clears up as he says to us while bowing, "Thank you for saving my daughter. My name is Su Hengshan, the current leader of Grandwake Clan. Can I have the names of my daughter's benefactor?"
Too much formality. Is he in an interview or something?
"My name is Wang Lei. You can call me Wang Lei, Lei'er, or Young Noble." I said while giving AnBai a glance.
Understanding it, she does a maid like greetings. Well, nothing less from her. She, for sure, reminds of a certain white-haired demon maid. I wonder if I should take her, she really is a fun character to have by one side.
"I am AnBai, maid of master Wang Lei-sama."
Su Hengshan, hearing her nodded. It seems like he did not believe that she is my daughter.
"Please come inside. If there is anything that you require from us, then please tell us." He said to us as he makes a way for us, towards the mansion.
Smiling, I follow after him. I was going to let other Guild members or one of my girls to take over this continent under Guild too. But since I am already here, why not take it myself.
I also need a little warm-up before I go towards the Cloud's End Cliff, profound beasts there not something to take the light off.
Not that I care as they cannot kill me or hurt me… maybe as I do not know whether an attack from a Divine Master can damage my Physique as Li Qiye got hurt even after when his Physique had exceeded mine by a large margin.
As we were following Su Hengshan with happy Su Ling'er, who kept asking me a different question that I answered honestly. She looked quite cute when I said that I have a giant dragon as a pet.
Though same could not be said for her father, who is definitely thinking that I am spouting bullshit. Well, it is not his fault as dragons are quite rare here on Blue Pole Star.
"Who are they, father?"
I looked towards where the sound came from. There I see a young man, adorned with different jewels. This guy is giving me 'I am going to die by the hands of the protagonist.' feeling.
"There is the one who saves Ling'er from the bandits of Blackwood Stronghold."
To Su Hengshan's words, a slight glint of surprise passes from his eyes. Well, he is involved in this mess for sure.
He looked towards us. He stopped for a second on AnBai but seeing me narrowing my eyes, he looked towards me and bowed, "Thank you for saving my sister! If there is anything I can do for you, then be sure to tell me."
Aren't you committed? Man, it cannot be more obvious that you are involved in her kidnapping or supposed kidnapping incident.
Does he really think that it could elude my eyes? It is time to play with his pride – a thing that I like the most.
I just smile and do not say anything.
"Then can you lead them to the guest room? I will prepare a banquet for them." Hearing it, he seems to want to say something but stopped and nodded while leading us in the place of his father.
Throughout the way, I got to say I want to pluck his eyeballs out for staring at AnBai. Is he trying to be not so obvious?
"Then, please wait here. Once the feast is ready, a servant will call for you." Saying it and glancing towards AnBai for the last time, he left.
I look out of the window, towards the setting sun. "The main event will start soon. I wonder if I will find something interesting? Not that I have high hopes."
