“You bought me for 1 night , you don’t own me.”

“Then why did you scream my name like I was yours?”

And like the devil predicted, the apple of temptation was too much for Eve to deny without taking one. simple . bite.

Eric Valence, an aspiring writer who is given the opportunity of working under the well-known Draven H. Malcom, an icon within his country. However, being editor for the new author turns out not to be so easy; it may have something to do with showing up late to work on the first day with no shoes. As their partnership begins to unravel, and people notice the special treatment Eric gains, a few are obviously jealous. Eric Valence is determined to prove his potential amongst his workers, but he never thought that a pair of bed sheets would be the thing changing his entire life. 

***

Eric started at his face distorted with hurt, and tightened his lips close. His decision was meant to save each other, since at the moment, he believed that he was toxic, and would only break Draven, not lift him.
Draven noticed that Eric had paused, and continued, "We can move somewhere together."

Eric bit his bottom lip, "I need to become the person I want to be Draven—"

"That can't be done with me?" Draven screeched.

"No, because I'll just be in your shadow, and that doesn't solve anything," Eric breathed rapidly. When he noticed the conversation slowly becoming intense, he reached for Draven's jaw, "Listen to me, I'm doing this for us."

"No, you're doing this for you."

"Is that so bad?"

"It's not, but I thought after all this time, I'd at least have meant something to you," he sighed.

Eric furrowed his brows, "You do." He did not seem convinced, but Eric added, "Draven I love you." Draven simply shook his head, squeezing his eyes shut, but Eric tightened his grip on his jaw, "Listen to me, I love you."

"Stop saying that—"

"I love you," he breathed.

"No you don't."

"I love you so much."

Eventually, Draven opened his eyes, and when he observed the honesty behind Eric's features, his eyes lowered to Eric's lips, back to his eyes, and then all of a sudden, he crashed his lips on Eric's.

Jade Riverton and Lucas Colton have been bestfriends since 1st grade. Jade's parents decide to move from California to New York when Jade is in the 9th grade. After moving, Jade and Lucas lose all communication with each other. After being away for almost 4 years, Jade comes back to New York for college, where her and Lucas meet once again. What will happen between the two ? Will they rekindle their friendship ? Or will they develop something more ??

Now pleased with the fact that he already felt stronger just from his first day of lessons, Lance wasted no time while back in his room and began reading more about alchemy so that soon, he would be able to try and start down that trade. 

And so, with many new goals in his mind, and teachers who wanted nothing more than for him to succeed, Lance continued as a student for two years and would only learn about new clan affairs through letters delivered to him. 

As expected, Lance was able to breakthrough into the 1st rank as a mystic after only the first month of his training, while now he was very close in breaking through to the 2nd rank. However, what shocked everyone who was paying attention in the Griffin Academy, Lance was able to in this time, also break into the 2nd rank as a warrior. 

The Griffin Academy, preferred students to remain lower ranked mystics, so that they could be well above average during each breakthrough, however, even with this in mind, Lance's willingness to spend all day into night training and becoming stronger and researching more, has allowed him to grow his strength a a normal mystic student at a different academy would without such shackles. 

Over the two years, Lance was now able to create 1st grade medical pills using the cauldron that the academy provided to every student. Due to this, Lance was able to build a small amount of wealth, while bartering with the teacher in charge of the school's finances to allow him to purchase materials at a low price. 

It was looked down upon by many jealous students, but because of his physical strength as a 2nd rank warrior expert, Lance was able to spar with mystics of the 2nd and 3rd ranks without falling too far behind. Each spar usually ended with Lance running out of strength from being bombarded by countless spells, or him getting close enough to his opponent in order to land a critical blow. 

With the help of Lily, Lance had learned more about the human anatomy and was even given some books on demonic beast's anatomies. With this level of knowledge, Lance's healing type techniques and skills became even stronger and more effective. However, Lily made it clear that he was still only a beginner as far as being a light elemental mystic was concerned. 

After attending both the introductory class in the morning and training with Lily in the afternoon for one year, Lily put in a request for Lance to allow his schedule to be altered. She understood half way through the year that Lance wanted to become a dual master and was showing very good progress in this regard, so she wanted to support this. 

Therefore, the dean also approved for Lance to spend his mornings training with his swordsmanship among other basic exercises which most experts of the warrior path would do daily to keep up with their training, while in the afternoon, Lily would help teach him many different light element skills. 

Some of these skills were of course for healing himself and his companions, but there were other types of basic skills that Lily wanted to teach him including creating a ball of light in order to light up a dark area, to even skills using the light element in more unconventional ways. 

And of course after dinner for several hours before falling asleep, Lance spent that time working on his alchemy skills and research. It was a normal speed of growth for an individual who wanted to become an alchemist to reach the level to create 1st grade pills within the first two years, but since Lance wasn't focused on this all day every day, it showed that he actually had what it took to genuinely succeed in this type of trade. 

Due to his recent breakthrough into reaching a one hundred percent success rate with creating 1st grade pills, Lily told Lance that he could take one week off from attending her class and should use this time to celebrate his success over the past two years. At first, Lily wasn't very fond of Lance, but seeing him grow at such an astonishing rate, allowed her to warm up more to him and care more about his well being and future. 

Now that it was a full week later after discussing this with her, Lance was now eagerly training his swordsmanship in the morning and was excited to see Lily once again to see what type of new training she might have in mind for him. He was now like a sponge that constantly absorbed information and was able to pick things up right away. 

This was not unusual for someone of the mystic path, because mystics were forced to become more in tune with the natural environment around them. In this regard, it allowed mystics to use their intelligence and mental capabilities for a much longer period of time.

With his clan declining quickly, Lance has no choice but to do what many experts choose not to, become a dual master; training as both a warrior and a mystic.

Only by becoming stronger on a much harder journey, would Lance have the opportunity to not only assist his clan, but to take one step closer to immortality!

On the first day that I forged, I learned how to forge basic things like a sphere, small tools, and small weapons. On the second day, I could already do large tools and different kind of weapons, I passed the third day until the seventh day meditating, analyzing everything that I forged and the failures, trying to get an understanding towards the Forging Essence, only after I learn it, I'll be able to learn the so-called '10 Mortal Hammers'.

At the end of the first week, I still couldn't understand the Forging Essence and I felt really confused but then I remembered the sentence [There isn't a true essence towards Forging, each blacksmith has his understanding; some believe it is just the act of hitting the hammer on the material and shaping it in something while others believe in something different].

I started to get an idea of what it was, on the second week, I trained my control over fire to remove all of the material impurity and on the half of the second week, I was able to completely remove the impurities, at the end of the second week, I finally understood what my Forging Essence is.

It was as if I was enlightened at that time, my brain started to think faster as I started to think what it is before I understood; I'm the Forging Essence, the Forging Technique itself it's me, my Essence will be the Origin of everything; 

Instantly, my realm skyrocket from Spiritual Knowledge 1-layer Peak to Spiritual Knowledge 4-layer, in fact, I was able to advance quickly like that before but I suppressed, the first three layers of this realm are basically to improve your element control, of course, you still have to absorb the Spiritual Energy, however, you can't break through if your control isn't improved.

While enlightened, my body started to move on its own as I took the hammer and started heating the material with precise and fine control, then, I started hitting the hammer on the material, that started to take shape, above the hammer, ten small, white and spiritual hammers appeared as an aura that seemed to be the Origin of everything was released.

A deafening sound was heard each time the 'Ten Mortal Hammers' descended to hit the material, that slowly took shape of a black-colored sword that had golden-colored lines intersecting with each other, giving a beautiful design.

The last step came as the fiery golden-colored Flame slowly started to change as the temperature fell, the flame slowly became golden-silverish-colored as an extremely cold aura was released from it, cooling down the material heat before the last step ended, the final product was made!

One week passed with me meditating, analyzing the beautiful sword that I made and I was still shocked by what I did: A Third Grade Weapon! I'm still amazed, of course, making another Third Grade one will be impossible and the possibility of making a Second Grade one won't be that hard, however, I'm now considered a First Grade Mortal Blacksmith.

This is what I learned after reading more of the book, the art of Forging is divided into Mortal Blacksmith (1st Grade to 9th Grade); Earth Blacksmith (1st Grade to 9th Grade) and Celestial Blacksmith (1st Grade to 9th Grade).

However, on the continent, I'm currently at, the best blacksmith is only at Mortal Blacksmith Peak and only at the Central Continent that an Earth Blacksmith is, I wonder if there are Celestial Blacksmiths only at a higher plane?

= Third Person P.O.V =

Going out of his courtyard, Apollo directly went to meet with his dad and talk to him that he will leave, seeing that Uncle Lu was talking with his dad, a sad expression was on Uncle Lu face, feeling an ominous sensation, he came near them and asked ''Why are you sad like that, Uncle?''

''Little Apollo... I came here three weeks ago but you were on reclusion, it's about Lamia'' He said and for some reason, Apollo panicked while thinking about what happened but his thoughts were interrupted as Uncle Lu said ''The Great Elder of 'Blooming Lotus Sect' took her as an apprentice, saying that she has the rare 'Watering Moon King Body', little Lamia asked me to notify you that she is waiting for you and that she'll never forget you'' 

Apollo cared about her like a friend but why is he feeling so sad, more than it was supposed to be? Why his body feels so heavy? Holding back tears that were threatening to come out, Apollo asked with his voice trembling ''D-Dad... Why I'm feeling like that? Why my heart hurts so much? Uncle Lu, why you let Lamia go?''

''My son... It's hard to explain but you must remember, in this world, the only way for you to get what you want is to be strong'' Apollo dad said, not knowing what to say, seeing his beloved son sad like that.

Apollo felt that he had to release his anger and unwillingness, a domineering Rainbow-colored Lightning and Golden-Silverish Flames broke out of his body.

Outside of the Ílio clan, every citizen of the Great Qian Kingdom felt fear as huge amounts of black clouds appeared on the previously clear sky, the temperature rose to incredible heights as rainbow-colored Lightning appeared from time to time, the sound of thunder striking their ears.

Some got to their knees and prayed together ''O'Great God, please have mercy on this lowly Kingdom, have mercy and spare our humble lives!'' no one except Uncle Lu and Apollo dad knew, however, the source of this Celestial Phenomenon.

'His anger... made a 'Celestial Phenomenon' appear, just who Apollo truly is?' Uncle Lu thought, confused but proud of his son-in-law.

At the same time, Apollo eyes opened, the previous anger disappeared and so did the Celestial Phenomenon, a cold glint appeared on his beautiful golden-colored eyes as he said ''Father, I calmed down. I'll go to the Luo Kingdom to take the Myriad Weapons Sect recruitment'' 

Saying that, normal blue-colored Lightning sparks were all that could be seen before Apollo disappeared, leaving his dad, that had a sad expression as he said ''This speed... I'm afraid that even someone at Spiritual Manifestation 3-layer peak can't have, to think that little Apollo was already this strong, just, I hope that this sadness and unwillingness make his Will stronger''

Meanwhile, Apollo was already out of the Kingdom, he wasn't with even a tiny bit of anger anymore, his eyes were burning with determination to get stronger, with this in mind, he went to the Kingdom nearby.

Chapter 850 – Country Embarks

 Within the Imperial Reading Room.

 Ouyang Shuo solemnly took out the imperial seal, taking a last look at the three imperial decrees before personally stamping it. With that, the imperial decrees were set and could not be changed.

 When Tsing Yi saw that, she took out a cotton box and carefully placed the imperial decrees inside.

 At this very moment, a court lady reported, "My king, the auspicious time has arrived!"

 Ouyang Shuo nodded, smiling as she said to Tsing Yi and Jia Xu, "Let's go, to the court."
 ...
 8 AM sharp, Xia Palace main hall.

 The auspicious time had arrived, and Ouyang Shuo sat on the throne and started the first court assembly of the Great Xia Dynasty.

 Ouyang Shuo looked down at the civil servants and generals and seriously said, "A new dynasty has been establishing and must be ruled properly. I've ascended to the throne, and I'll remove all chaos, setting up a system to rule the wilderness."

 The officials all bowed, "The king is wise!"

 Ouyang Shuo said, "Decree!"

 Secretary Bai Nanpu who was standing not far from Ouyang Shuo respectfully took out the cotton box and started to read the imperial decree upon hearing the order.

 Bai Nanpu had been around Ouyang Shuo for a long time; he was stable in his work. Although he was placed in the Secret Document Pavilion, his role was more like the manager of the eunuchs, and he was in charge of reading the imperial decrees.

 To Bai Nanpu, it was the king showing him a lot of gratitude and thanks.

 The first decree to be read was the Great Xia Dynasty title system.

 Based on the system, any children of the Great Xia Dynasty, be it soldiers, students, artisans, or merchants, as long as they did well in their fields, they could be awarded a title.

 To the dynasty, soldiers killing on the battlefield were contributing, merchants paying tax and opening up trade routes were contributing, teachers educating were contributing, artisans inventing were contributing....

 Since one contributed, one needed to be rewarded.

 The lowest title was the 1st class baron. The titles were further split down into nine grades, 1st class as the highest and 9th class as the lowest. Each occupation had their specific class standards.

 The title given by the dynasty was only an honorary one; it did not come with any salary increase or monetary reward. However, anyone with a title would have a higher status than civilians and would be treated with more respect.

 Hence, it gave people who contributed to the dynasty a lot of respect.

 After reading the title system, Bai Nanpu followed by announcing the list of the first group of people granted titles. Apart from the few during the ascension ceremony, all the generals and civil servants present were given titles one by one.

 Based on Ouyang Shuo's request, the titles were not given based on appointment but by their contribution to the dynasty. Hence, the longer the official served in the territory, the higher their title.

 Take Culture Division Secretary Xu Shuda as an example; he was given the title of 3rd class earl. Even if newcomers had high appointments, they might just become a viscount. For example, Kou Zhun and Di Renjie were given the titles of 3rd class viscount.

 With that, it rewarded the old guard while also giving the new ones pressure to give their all for the dynasty. 
 ...
 After announcing the list of people who were given titles, next would be to announce the organizational structure of the Great Xia Dynasty as well as the appointments.

 During this reorganization, apart from adjusting the original organizations, 20 odd support organizations were made to perfect the system.

 The new support organizations included the imperial medical court, imperial academy, and the like.

 The Xia Palace used court ladies to replace eunuchs, setting up 12 offices.

 Apart from that, in the inner palace, there were also four new divisions and eight bureaus, merging into the 24 Yamen of the inner palace. The court ladies also had six bureaus, paying attention to the palace, rituals, food, sleep, and the like. Each bureau had four divisions under them.

 However, since only Ouyang Shuo, Song Jia, and the underage princes Bing'er lived in the palace, Ouyang Shuo did not like excessive extravagance and ordered the 24 Yamen to make it simple.

 If not, it would be hard to maintain the running of the dynasty.

 With the support organizations being set up one by one, the aura and appearance of a dynasty appeared.

 Of course, the most core adjustments were in the original Nanjiang Governor-General House. These organizations were the true core to maintaining the running of the dynasty and had to be treated seriously.

 Setting up the cabinet to take charge of administrative matters, there would be one Grand Secretary and one assistant. Jiang Shang was officially appointed as the Grand Secretary and Kou Zhun as the assistant to help Ouyang Shuo.

 There was also the setting up of the Grand Council, where the War Division, Military Intelligence Division, and Navy Headquarters would be under.

 With that, the Privy Court would mainly care about the daily matters of the army and their logistics, while the Grand Council would be in charge of commanding. These two organizations would work together whilst also working independently.

 The Grand Council would have one head to lead them all.

 Military Affairs Minister Du Ruhui would temporarily take the role of Grand Council Head, Navy Admiral Zheng He, Guards Legion Corps Marshal Huo Qubing, Dragon Legion Corps Marshal Baiqi, Tiger Legion Corps Marshal Sun Bin, and Leopard Legion Corps Marshal Han Xin would all be members of the council.

 The Cabinet and the Grand Council were the highest military and administrative organizations in the dynasty. Apart from the organizations under Ouyang Shuo's direct control, the others would be under these two.

 The Clerk Room would be upgraded to the Secret Document Pavilion, and there would be one advisor and two secretaries. Tsing Yi would be the Secret Document Pavilion Advisor and Bai Nanpu would be the secretary.

 They would also set up the Administrative Mentor Court to take charge of military and administrative questions; they would also be in charge of memorials. There would be one Chief Secretary, two advisors, and four secretaries. Jia Xu was appointed as the Chief Secretary and Chen Gong as the advisor.

 The Censorate would be set up to be in charge of monitoring, and there would be one minister, and one assistant minister. Wei Zheng would be the minister while Feng Ting would be the assistant minister.

 The newly established Secret Document Pavilion, Administrative Mentor Court, and Censorate, along with the Honglu Temple, Shanhai Guards, and Black Snake Guards were the six organizations under Ouyang Shuo's direct control.

 Below the cabinet would be the Administrative Court, Internal Affairs Court, Financial Court, and Privy Court as well as the Industrialization Department and the Four Seas Bank.

 The secretaries under the four courts would all be upgraded to department, and their member appointments would be kept the same with no changes.

 After the reshuffle, the local offices and Yamens around the territory needed to adjust too.

 Based on the system, the local offices would all be set into six grades, province, prefecture, house, county, township, and village. Each grade would have a fixed number and one could not randomly add or deduct the number.

 At the same time, the province used bureau as the highest grade, prefectures had department, house had division, county had office, and township and villages had branches.

 Branch, office, division, department, bureau, and court; these were the six layers of the organizational system.

 With that, the system was fluid and perfected. Only then could they ensure a smooth administrative system. 
 ...
 The last imperial decree that Bai Nanpu read was regarding the nine grade rank. Since one had a perfect system, one needed strict and clear grades.

 Based on the system, the Great Xia Dynasty would have nine grades of officials, one primary and one secondary, for a total of 18 grades.

 Based on Ouyang Shuo's request, the Great Xia Dynasty would not have a grand tutor, a senior grand tutor, and a grand protector. The Imperial Court civil servants were led by the Cabinet Grand Secretary and the generals were under the Grand Council. 

 The Cabinet Grand Secretary, Cabinet Assistant Grand Secretary, and the head of the Grand Council were all Primary Grade 1; Administration, Internal Affairs, Financial, and Military Affairs Ministers were all Secondary Grade 1.

 Di Ruhui taking up two roles meant that he would have the higher rank. In the future, when the time was right, Ouyang Shuo was considering getting a minister for the Grand Council to do daily duties.

 The Honglu Temple and Censorate leaders were Primary Grade 2, and the assistant ministers of the four courts and the Zhili viceroy were Secondary Grade 2.

 Taking this chance, Ouyang Shuo officially announced the four assistant ministers of the four courts. He appointed Zhang Tingyu as Assistant Administration Minister, Di Renjie as Assistant Internal Affairs Minister, Cui Yingyu as Assistant Financial Minister, and Xiahou Dun as Assistant Military Affairs Minister.

 Original Military Affairs Bureau Deputy Director Zhao Kuo would move along with the War Division to the Grand Council. 

 The Zhili viceroy was like the head of all governors.

 The Provincial Governors, Administrative Mentor Court Minister, Shanhai Guards Commander and Black Snake Guards Commander were all Primary Grade 3. The directors beneath the courts, such as Industrialization Director, and Four Seas Bank Treasurer, were all Secondary Grade 3. 

 Secret Document Pavilion Advisor, Censorate Assistant Minister, and the like would be Primary Grade 4, while the secretary and deputy directors of the four courts would be Secondary Grade 4.

 Out of the six organizations directly under him, Honglu Temple was in charge of diplomacy, and the Censorate handled channels for criticism and feedback; they were really important departments. Hence, their position was really high and only second to the four courts. 

 The Administrative Mentor Court, Shanhai Guards, and Black Snake Guards were on the same level as a Provincial Governor. Although the Secret Document Pavilion was really close to Ouyang Shuo, he only gave it a Primary Grade 4 rank.

 The reason he arranged it like this was naturally to set up restrictions.

 Further down, the secretaries of the four courts, the directors of the provincial Yamens were all Primary Grade 5. The Governor and deputy directors of the provincial Yamens were Secondary Grade 5.

 Directors of the House level were Primary Grade 6, and Prefects were Secondary Grade 6. Country Magistrate and House Secretaries were Primary Grade 7. The four office managers at the county level would be Primary Grade 8 and the branch heads were Secondary Grade 8.

 The town mayor was Primary Grade 9, while village heads and town grade branch heads were Secondary Grade 9.

 After the grade system was released, all the officials in the dynasty would be given a rank with a certain amount of salary.
Hence, there was a way to settle the ruling foundations of the dynasty.

 A new dynasty was about to arrive!

Leaving Hundred Miles City behind, Tian Shen didn't ride the Black Bird immediately. He first summoned Shi Qingzhuang's Emberlion Steed outside and circled around the Ten Thousand Turtle Swamp.
As expected he found two Baby Alpine Trees. Albeit they were 20 to 30-years-old respectively.
Even if he replanted them inside the Absolute Jade Immortal Realm. It would take at least one month and a half. Obviously he had to find better alternatives or an older Baby Alpine Tree.
Like the name, Baby Alpine Tree looked exactly similar to Alpine trees but they didn't grow past two feet. Also without an adequate amount of nature qi, they don't live past 60 years.
Even after 100 years they don't show any medicinal properties but act as a special reagent or tranquilizer depending on the usage. A 1000-years-old Baby Alpine Tree can increase the success rate of pill forming considerably.
He summoned the Black Bird and then flew towards Sky Sword Sect. Before leaving, he left the last "Cloudflame Cylinder" with the Sun-Moon Gleaming Glass.
As he was still affected by Tian Lianshuang's emotion Tian Shen didn't invite anyone to accompany him. He gazed at the clear sky while feeling melancholic.
Soon, he shook his head. This obviously won't do, he was making a big deal out of Lingshuang's lone journey.
He took the notes from his memories and went through the things he could get in Hundred Miles City. He felt there was something missing but left it rather than pressing on. He got the main things already.
Next, his eyes fell on the Lustful Xiantian Expert tag.
He definitely needed to find this expert. He remembered about this side-character because Qing Shui got both the Nameless Dual Cultivation Technique and Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm.
No matter what, he had to take the Nameless Dual Cultivation Technique so Qing Shui couldn't get his hand on that. Otherwise, who knows, this technique might lead him to other Portraits of Beauty. This was absolutely unacceptable.
Then he cut off the lines related to encounters; excluding the women with Divine Bodies.
Instantly he felt as if something foggy was cleared from his mind.
There was once he felt as if he was living a false life.
A predetermined life of someone else.
After Tian Lingshuang's outburst of emotion, this feeling got clearer.
He was going to live his life and not follow predetermined steps.
Though, he was still going to take whatever he wanted. Especially the Twelve Divine Beauties.
Out of the twelve women with Divine Bodies, he couldn't remember five. But he left them be. If he ever hears their name or related information he was sure to remember them.
While flying, he didn't take the straight path towards Sky Sword Sect and followed the ground road. All the way, he kept Absolute Vision activated. Searching for any cultivator of Xiantian Realm or above.
Luckily, in these areas Demon Beasts or cultivators at the Xiantian Realm were non-existent. His search time got reduced considerably. Before nightfall, he finally noticed the existence of a Xiantian Level cultivator.
Storing the Black Bird, he summoned out the Emberlion Steed from the Mortal Realm.
"Mm, I should buy a horse myself. Can't use my lover's steed all the time."
Emberlion Steed was a fine travel method on the ground but using someone else's mount wasn't a good idea, no matter who they were.
"Wait, I remember there being a Pegasus... hmm, is it even in this world?" he wondered for a while before pushing the thought away.
Mounting the Emberlion Steed, Shen fell in thought for a moment before a cunning smile pasted on his face.
He called Wenren Wushuang.
Even without a connection like tamed beasts, it was possible to talk with anyone in the Mortal Realm.
Wenren Wushuang obviously rejected at first but still came out, unwillingly.
"So, why are you riding a horse instead of your avian mount?" As the steed galloped, Wushuang said, feeling Shen's hand wrapping around her abdomen.
"It's only a baby and in the 3rd Grade Xiantian Realm. Go easy." Shen said with a smile, his tense mind relaxed quickly.
"Wait, when did a 3rd Grade Xiantian Realm Demon Beast become a baby?"
"I know its awesome,"
"How? You are not making any sense."
Shen leaned his chin on her shoulder, "Fufufu, it's fine, fine."
"Rogue, what are you doing, move, move away!"
Wushuang tried to move her shoulder away but Shen relaxed his full body weight, leaving her perplexed of what to do.
Tian Shen stared at her lips. The alluring image of her delicate lips pleasing his member surfaced in his mind.
Noticing Tian Shen's gaze Wushuang blushed, "Where are you looking at? You rascal."
"You started avoiding after that night." Shen suddenly said without replying.
Wenren Wushuang struggled to maintain her composure as her blush reddened. "D-did I? No, I mean, I'm not."
"Heh, so did you dream of us together?"
"Wha-what?! No way!"
"What did I do with you?" he lightly whispered to her ear and trailed her throat, breast and abdomen respectively with the back of his fingers, "Did I do something here? Or here? Or maybe here?"
Wenren Wushuang's body became tense and she shouted, "I-if you keep teasing me I'm leaving!"
Tian Shen looked at her, surprised. He didn't think her reaction would be so strong. But it caused him to smile broadly. Looks like his random teasing hit the spot.
He kicked the mount and laughed evilly, "Did you know I can control whether someone can leave or enter the realm?"
Wenren Wushuang was stumped. She didn't think he would say this of all things. The horse picked up its speed and she couldn't enter the realm, and most of all, she was in his arms. Where could she go and how?
"Right," he suddenly smiled happily, "Since you are following us for long enough, why not come out?"
Wenren Wushuang was puzzled before a guffaw rang behind them.
"Hahaha, you do have acute senses!" The mountains resounded with wild laughter. A burly man with a flushed face appeared in the middle of the road.
The Emberlion Steed stopped in the middle of the road as dim moonlight illuminated their view. Shen sized him up and indeed, this side villains appearance screamed with 'come, kick me,'.
The man had coarse features, a large nose, a gigantic mouth, and eyes that were piercing yet lewd. He looked forty-ish and dressed like a commoner. At that moment, he was ogling at Wenren Wu-Shuang with a glint in his eye that all men could recognize.
The most unique part of the burly man was his hands that were shaped like a palm fan. They were double the size of a normal hand and had ten thick fingers that were unusually dull and golden.
"Since you have already blocked our path, I won't ask what you want." Shen dismounted from the Emberlion Steed.
"Hoh, you seem intelligent. That's right. I only desire two things in life – food and women! As long as you leave that sweetheart behind, I won't touch you. I can't wait to taste that pure and beautiful girl." The man answered with a sinister laugh which, coupled with his large eyes, could make one shudder.
Wenren Wushuang felt uncomfortable, and even angrier, as she looked into his devilish and lewd stare.
"Agh, I'll kill that pretentious prick!" Wenren Wushuang gritted as she never felt so shameful even in the Night Fragrance Court.
A few might've dared look at her but none dared to openly insult, let alone lust after her. Not to mention, between that time and now was heaven and earth difference. She was a Xiantian Cultivator.
"Shuang'er, you can't defeat him. Just a minute, I'll take care of him." Shen had a vein popping up on his forehead. He expected this guy to be pretentious and take care of him before he said something inappropriate but this guy surpassed his expectation.
The burly man didn't expect Tian Shen to be so courageous. He thought Tian Shen was afraid and wanted to surrender but his words didn't seem so. "Boy, I don't like meaningless killing. Give me your rations and let me enjoy tha––"
Before he could finish those words, a punch came straight for his guts.
Surprised at the sudden burst of speed, he quickly shouted, "Second Wave!"
His fist cracked and soon, a layer of golden light encompassed his hands.
His two hands, shrouded in a golden light, came into contact with Tian Shen's at great speed!
Bang! Bang!
A few deep sounds echoed as if two big mountains had collided. Dust flew about. From Tian Shen's normal punch, the situation seemed to be in a state of chaos and darkness.
Tian Shen had deliberately controlled his strength to the level of Xiantian 1st Grade.
Unexpectedly, even then the burly man flew back.
Tian Shen looked at his fist. The Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm Technique was indeed great. He felt a slight force of waves on his fist, but his defense already reached Mid-level Martial King Level, it wasn't even worth mosquito bite to him.
Also, his power at the Xiantian 1st grade was incomparable to norms. Even though the burly man was a 3rd-grade Xiantian expert and used the Second Wave of the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm Technique, he was still forced back.
Tian Shen didn't kill the man immediately. He first gagged the burly man, broke his arms and tied him with a tree. He needed some information and a dead man tells no tale.
Rummaging through his ragged clothing, Tian Shan took out 9 silvery pages. Each sheet was 7 inches long and 5 inches wide. Eight characters in golden seal script were printed on the rightmost side of the first sheet.
Nine Waves of Great Golden Buddha Palm Technique!
"Shen, what is this? It's actually recorded on the Silver Pages," Wushuang already approached and looked at the silvery sheets in astonishment. Only precious items would warrant a record on the Silver Pages.
The Silver Pages were not made of ordinary silver, but the essence of silver. Nine mere sheets of Silver Pages were almost as valuable as the Gold Needles Tian Shen possessed.
"A mystical set of technique, have a look." Shen passed the silvery pages to her and dug out a bundle from the man. Upon opening it, he discovered stacks of money, notes, a book, and a paper made of beast hide.
Wenren Wushuang pouted. Even though he said its a mystical set of technique he still passed it to her without hesitation. Although she gave it a look, her full attention was on him.
She scolded Tian Shen secretly in her mind for reducing the burly man to nothing but underpants.
'Hmph, at least you have some conscience for taking advantage of me.'
"This should be it?" Shen was elated after finally getting the book on his hand. Even Wushuang came over to have a look.
Tian Shen turned the first page, and Wushuang went dumbstruck.
"Spring Spirit Palace!"
The characters were life-like and full of vitality. The men were bald and full of masculinity as they were drawn with powerful strokes. The women were incomparably graceful as even the most important part was drawn meticulously.
The first drawing depicted a woman kneeling on a bed with her full buttocks perked high, and a man kneeling behind her, halfway inside her. The woman in the painting was as beautiful as a peach blossom with eyes that were half-closed and mouth slightly parted. She looked pleased and invigorated as though she was enjoying it.
Shen's lips twitched, he actually had a reaction from looking at the erotic painting, which looked more realistic than photos taken in his past life. The second picture was more awkward. The man was lying on the bed erected while a gorgeous beauty kneeled there perking her full, round buttocks. The mysterious region was clearly presented before Shen as the woman in portrait held the erected genital in her hands, sucking part of it with her erotic, small mouth...
At this moment, Wushuang spat out the word "despicable" and fled. Her face was crimson red and heart beat quickly. Shen merely snickered and admired Wushuang's reaction.
Wushuang was so in deep shock, to think even when such a big thing entered such a tiny looking place, that women had such blissful expression… If she didn't have her special physique then that night Shen's thing might have entered that same place. Just remembering her naughty dreams caused her to hide in shame.
She was both disgusted and perplexed at the second drawing; to think she sucked on it with similar passion and vulgar expression...
After all, the second picture clearly matched with their deed that night. Even the way that that gorgeous beauty perked her buttocks and the way she sucked the penis clearly matched her actions.
Those embarrassing memories were filling her with an exotic kind of feeling.
"Shuang'er, what do you think about this? Wanna try it?" Shen was especially happy, for Wushuang who was always sharp and ready to pick at any time, how could he let go of the rare chance of teasing her?
"Stop! Stop saying those disgusting things." Wushuang said, feeling shy and flustered.
She thought of how Shen stared at her lips just a while ago and couldn't help but feel her face burning. Did he want to do that again? "Shen, please stop, ok? I promise to not ignore or even pretend to ignore anymore but please stop!"
Shen wanted to tease her longer but there was an audience and he was already satisfied seeing her embarrassed and flustered. It warmed his heart considerably, "As long as you know."
Turning to the man who had both fear and jealousy in his eyes Tian Shen muttered, "Now how shall I get done with this guy..."

Shen, who transcended dimensions and arrived in the world of AST, Kyushu. He will conquer beauties and treasures as he will surpass the power of nine continents.

On the path, he will encounter many mysterious beings from Ancient times and extinct races.

With his growing ambition, he will discover many changes while searching the secret behind his reincarnation.

I'm coming out and im in position it has been 2 months since i came to this new world and my mother is finally giving birth to me!! after i get out it's kinda blurry but i can still make outthe person holding me and after a couple of minutes i can finally see i then look towards my mother she's a beautifal woman with shiny luscious caramel brown hair and a beautiful face then a few minutes later a man with a happy almost infectous smile runs or jogs over while looking at me as if im a priceless treasure and i look over to him with just as a beaming warm smile as him making him cry tears of joy while his wife told him " it seems he's taken that smile of your's." she says with a warm caring smile while the dad is currently contemplating how he got such a wonderful wife and they continued to flirt leaving me at the back of they're brain and eventually 

                      <[3 months later]> 

i can finally go home while at the back of my head im still wondering how im gonna get adopted by the kirigiya's but i just continue to leave that for later turning back to reality i realize im finally at my home and realize that not to far down is the kirigiya's household
and then quickly forget about it as i'm bored i just turn back to meditating and after doing that for so much time i can feel 30 feet away and if i concentrate on one spot can even go as far as 90 feet i finally realize how OP this is it's not that op but it has potential to be very op afterall whats the use of the dark if you can sense everything there so thinking about this i get more energy but after awhile just stop and rest while sucking on my pacifier and go to sleep after awhile i awaken to see my mom sleeping so i just continue meditating

                        <[3 months later]>

im finally 8 months old my parents finally gave me a book!! so i crawled to them with it under my unbelievably smooth baby hands and they noticed this so they then both carried they're son up and read the book to him this was a simple book telling kids about they're mama's and papa's so then i make a tactical decision to say "dada, mama." so they see im gifted hearing they're 8 month old son saying words made them look at him in disbelief while they both thought the same thing "this child is a prodigy."and continued reading the words like cow, bird, fire, bee, and lizard things like that so after reading them the whole book they're mouths opened like a nut cracker's finally reaching his desired effects bryant (oh right his name is horu.)
or horu started crawling around again with the pacifier in his mouth

                      <[4 month later]>

little horu is finally walking making them think back to how smart they're little horu is and so then they bought even more books for him to practice his reading and writing and after that she would watch little horu pass those easier than some adultsso she finally fully focused on him so now our mc gets his cheeky little Ass a book read every night now horu is reading and writing better than  9 year old with his mom right next to him regretting not being able to already send him to 1st grade
so instead they're teaching him things that he would end up learning in 1st grade after another day of long hard work i rest and meditate right now i can sense up too 50 feet away and 150 when concentrating on one spot and so then after he was done meditating horu went to sleep

                       <[5 months later]>

horu woke up to the smell of sizzling bacon and an egg yolk like sun shining it's beautiful gold glow on the houses although the bacon is for his dad horu still didn't give up so he asked "whats for food?" his mom said "toast & eggs with orange juice." and went back to making the food so i went back to my room and started to meditate right now i can sense up to 90 feet away but it's gotten alot harder to make progress so i stoppe 15 minutes later cause breakfast was done  so i came down after finishing breakfast my mom told me she would enroll me in a nearby school when i was old enough so i mentally readied myself for when i would go to school and nodded so i went back to my room and while scavenging around i found a  bokken wich is a wooden katana-like practice sword so i gave it a couple of swings but quickly tired myself out so i went back and relaxed in bed

            <[7 months and 2 years later]>

im finally 4 my birthday party ended a little while ago and everyone left then we heard a couple of knocks on our door so my father went over to tell them they missed the party but the gift he was expecting was different than what he got... it was a bullet shot and then a dull *thud* hearing the accursed thing that killed my sister come back for me again i withstood my rage just barely and sneaked under the table as it was still 7:45 and it was dark out it was a bit darker than usual and i blended in better but hearing the bullet my mother ran towards the door while i extended my hand hoping she wouldn't go as well but the pistol wouldn't allow it and the person shot her as well it turns out they were a robber and came to rob the house so using all the remaining strength and rage i had left i pickpocketed their gun and once again unloaded a flurry of bullets slowly taking his life and it isn't like i wasn't scared i was literally about to piss my pants and back to my painful traumatic experience scared me so much my hair turned whit but even more weirdly my eyes turned a blood red but quickly reverted back after my flurry of bullets but life would never let you get away that easily i was still in the neighborhood some curious people went over to check to see me stand over the dead body with the pistol in hand and the slide slid back with no bullets left and 3 dead body's as my prize i just looked down and dropped to my legs i didn't care about anything in that very moment except my parents because to me everything else was as useless as the unloaded glock 41 gen 4 in my hands so realizing they're likely dead i was wishing there was still 1 more bullet in this pistol and what happened to me when the authorities came well i wasn't in the wrong as it was self defence and so instead came over and took me by the hand they were gonna take me to the orphanage but as there were still people around they decided to see if anyone here was willing to take me in but in the end nobody was willing to have a killer for a son... except for one...

Hello im back sorry for giving up on the last novel i truly am to lazy to write(especially since i'm using my phone.) and im gonna try for 5 chapters >: so wish me luck and stamina + interest oh right this is only a note(Fuck it i'm going with my name.)

 This story is about a man this person had sub-par looks, ok intelligence a was very and i mean very un-interested in school but he still managed to make it to society *sigh* but even with these bad traits and basically trash attitude fate smiled upon him and it started that day that was the day it all changed " Get on the ground!! this is a f*ckin robbery!!!" a man with a black ski mask yelled holding a pistol unluckily for the protaginast he was grocery shopping in a supermarket with his sister at 7:30 as they ran out of butter, bread, and eggs.

so he was here and there happened to be a robberey he wasn't worried for himself rather his sister with her fierce attitude and great looks she naturally attracted the attention of the robber so he came over and looked at her nonchalant attitude and once again yelled "Get down on th f*ckin ground!! or what you deaf!" i hastilly dropped down like an opposum facing an eagle buuttt my sister didn't trying to scare her down to the ground he aimed a bit past her head and fired but my sister didn't even flinch which was suprising so the robber shot again but this time my sister wasn't that lucky it hit her square on the head and turned her brain to mush i yelled "Amanda!!" and sprinted over to the robber to hit him he shot me on the arm 4 times and once in the stomach which caused me to flinch and stop for a couple of seconds but i continued my momentum causing me to frighten the gun outta his hand and i tackled him while grabbing the pistol and unloading the last remaning bullets into his neck which swiftly killed him finally getting vengence for my sister i crawled back to her and continuing to bleed out i said "Please everybody here you have a long life to live don't waste it use it for good." finishing my philisophical phrase i never thought that would come out of my mouth i slowly changed the aspirations of the children that just witnessed a great future trauma and filled them with the thought to avenge my final dying wish while inside they promised to themselves, no to m-, sorry to the entirety of the world that they would do their best to never let they're own colorfull and great life dampen and instead they would use this experince to power they're vengence in both peaceful and voilent ways.

Valencia and Luke got dropped off the same time at Varcil academy. It went to 1st to 9th grade. Right now Valencia was in 8th because she skipped 2 grades from, the entrance exam. And Luke is in 3rd grade at age 8. 

They got down the car and saw a red carpet going down a straight line towards the door. The driver reached out at his hand and pointed forward for ten to walk. I waited for Luke to get down, and now there was a bunch of people around the carpet. "Wow who's coming to school that's rich?!" Valencia and Luke walked side by side together with a stern look on their face making other feel they are saying don't bother us. "Isn't that the young master of the Zaph's , but who is the girl beside him". "I don't know but I feel like she's important or something so don't mess with her. Plus their hair looks similar". Luke and Valencia we to the door, already memorized their schedule. Because their father was so important they had a evaluator for them self. And also needed their ID's from the house to work it. After it confirms the ID the screen shows all the floor even a floor the school employees don't know of. Only for them to be at for lunch. 

First Luke was dropped off on the 3rd floor. And then Valencia was on the 6th floor. Her first period was for reading. She arrived more earlier than others. The teacher was standing at the door nervously. She noticed me walking towards the class. She ran towards her "miss Zaph you came would it be alright for you wait in  another room for the other students to come" Valencia nodded as an  yes. She relaxed after that nod. She took Valencia to a room behind the classroom. She heard voices in the classroom, until the bell rings the teacher yelled out "EVERYONE BE QUIET, WE HAVE A NEW STUDENT TODAY, A SPECIAL STUDENT!!" Everyone became quiet and looked at the teacher. The teacher started to walk towards the door. She opened the door and saw a lady standing there quietly, waiting patiently. The classroom was set up had three lines of desks on the each side. And space in the middle. Valencia walked straight to the board. She wrote on the board her name in cursive. She started to introduce herself "I'm Zaph Valencia, I'm 11 years old in 8th grade, it is nice to meet you today" everyone heard say Zaph and she was 11 in 8th grade. She acted more mature than them, and is 2 grade ahead. "Okay now you can go sit at the desk in the back next to the window.

A young lad abandoned on the streets with no one to care about that person. With nothing to care about, this young lad decided to do something quite insane. 

It seemed that everything was going to turn out bad from there, but by some luck. This story started to take a good turn. 

Let's see what this young lad will do, will it stay as peaceful from now on?

And on with the journey.

[in a bit of editing process]

Nausus, I feel so sick. Like someone filled me with vile disgusting glop and rag dolled me around like a toy. My eyes shoot open as I vomit over myself. Taking a few deep breaths to calm myself down before I look at where I am. I am in a bed with yellow floral sheets over it. 

Well, stained yellow floral sheets now that they have my bodily fluids all over them. The bed is stiff and pretty uncomfortable to say the least. My right arm is chained to the headrest. I attempt to sit up only to feel an incredible pain in my abdomen.  I give a firm yank on the chain which only served to make a loud rattling noise. My failed attempt at sitting upright in the bed aside I once again take in my surroundings.

A small room only slightly larger than a closet is where I lay. There is only one door in the room and it is slightly cracked open. There are tubes and piping covering the walls. The piping bronzed colored, honestly it looks like something out of a steampunk movie. Other than the piping covering the walls there really isn't much in terms of decoration in the room.

I hear a commotion in the other room on the other side of the door. Sounds like arguing if I am going off the tones of the voices. Speaking of which they don't seem to be speaking English. I cannot understand a word of what they are saying and I have never heard anything similar to what their language could be.

I close my eyes and think of everything that has happened to me so far. Everything from the pressure that was in my bedroom to the notifications saying something about earth being sold. A raging headache takes over my thoughts as I am starting to really hope that I am just dreaming. However, i'm not optimistic. As I lay there wallowing in my thoughts the door opens with a loud creak.

I turn to the door to look at my would be captor and my eyes widen at what I see. Standing in the doorway is what looks to be a normal guy, if you discount the fact that this person has has two short horns sticking out of his head and the fact his skin color his a dull silver shade. The alien and I lock eyes and stay there for a second just staring at each other.

Suddenly on the aliens face a wide friendly smile sprouts and he raises his hand saying something 
"⊬⍜ ⋔⊬ ⋏⏃⋔⟒ ⟟⌇ ⌰⏃⍀⌇"

I just sit there and stare at him for a solid twenty seconds. Seeing that his greeting, or at least that is what I think he did, failed his smile on his face twitches as he once again says "⊬⍜ ⋔⊬ ⋏⏃⋔⟒ ⟟⌇ ⌰⏃⍀⌇"

This time I respond "I don't know what you are saying, do you uhhh speak English or maybe Spanish"

Halfway through me talking a frown takes over the aliens face and he cups his chin and seems to ponder something.

Like a light bulb went off in his head, he gets a eureka expression on his face. Using his fingers he draws a rectangle in the air. After he does so he stares at me expectantly.  I don't really know what he wants until it clicks.

I speak out in with somewhat unsure "Status?"

A blue box showing my status appears in front of me.

[ STATUS: AXEL CAIN

LEVEL: 6

RACE: Human (???)

BODY CONDITION: Normal

 SOUL CONDITION: Normal

SOUL BOUNDARY: Normal
-Rune Charter Skill (Talent Type) (Low Grade)
-Mana Sensitive Body Type (Low Grade)
-Aura Reading Eyes (Low Grade)

STATUS EFFECTS VISIBLE: None ]

The status page ends after that. I look back at him and nod in affirmation that I think I did what he wanted me to do.

Next he draws a little circle in the air. He once again waits for me expectantly. OK, I have no idea what that means, but seeing him continuing to look at me waiting for me to complete his task I look over my status screen again.

Huh, that's strange. I never noticed that there is a little gear icon in the top right corner reminiscent of an options button that you might find in a video game. Thinking that it might be what he wants me to do I click it and a bunch of different things pop up,

A bunch of different notification related options now fill my vision. I read through some of them.

[ Notifications in combat

Set alarm

Link to Pillar ]

After looking through the various different options available I come across one that looks like it might help my current situation out.

[ Language ]

I click it and it branches off into different choices but there is one that catches my eye.

[ Auto Translate all non magically imbued speech ]

I click it and a mild headache creeps up the back of my head. The headache wasn't nearly as bad as the one I had when I first woke up so I just dealt with it in silence.

Turning back to the alien I ask in an weary voice "Can you understand me".

A wave of unease washes over the inhabitants of the rock known as earth. Blissfully unaware that the place they call home is being auctioned off to the highest bidder. 

Join  Axel as he adapts to his new environment and experiences a fulfiling life in a world full of magic.
