Author's note
A portion of my summary is gone. I don't know what happened, I spent so much time coming up with this summary
I will be posting this on royalroad.com under the same name.
Also, everyone. This is my first attempt at writing a fullfledged novel/book.

Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan finally arrived at the restaurant after making several turns here and there. The interior of the restaurant boasted of an Italian decor and it looked both romantic and extravagant.
At this moment, there were only a few people in the restaurant and it was extremely quiet.
Si Yiyan brought Wen Xinya to a table by the window and asked, "Steak goes well with 1995 Duck Muck Shiraz. Would you like to give it a try?"
Wen Xinya agreed with a nod. "Sure!"
Si Yiyan ordered some wine and steak, and soon after, a chef dressed in a kitchen uniform and a tall chef's hat exited from the kitchen with a trolley.
There was a bouquet of red roses which were crimson like blood on the trolley. It looked extremely beautiful and captivating.
Si Yiyan picked up the bouquet of roses and handed it to Wen Xinya. "I don't remember ever giving you flowers. These are a new breed of roses that are bright and red like blood. They represent passionate love that runs continuously like blood. It also symbolizes eternal love."
"I heard that flowers have the ability to stimulate one's senses. Hence… lots of restaurants often prepare fresh and pretty flowers for their customers, which appeals to the visual and olfactory senses. They add to the romantic and graceful vibes of the ambiance. You're just making use of their services, aren't you?" Wen Xinya asked, blushing red with shyness, just like the blood-red roses. Si Yiyan was extremely romantic and she was just like Eve to his Adam, completely irresistible.
Si Yiyan remained calm and composed despite having been exposed by her. He asked, "Must you really be such a wet blanket?"
Seeing how serious he was, Wen Xinya burst into laughter.
In fact, Si Yiyan suddenly felt that he was not a good boyfriend because he realized that he had never given her flowers before. Hence, he decided to take the chance to do so when he saw the roses in the trolley.
Soon, the chef came with another trolley, on top of which were lots of marinated raw beef, as well as a plethora of sauces that were different from the ones that she usually had with her steak.
Wen Xinya looked at Si Yiyan and asked, "Are you planning to cook me some steak?"
Wen Xinya was appalled. She had never expected that a refined gentleman like Si Yiyan would actually make her some steak. She suddenly recalled the great wipeout of Black Sunday which occurred two years ago, after which Si Yiyan made her some sweet porridge. She suddenly felt that it was only his duty. However, she did not get to witness the process back then. 
Seemingly having sensed her astonishment, Si Yiyan said smilingly, "My culinary skills are superb. You're in for a treat today."
"I'd be glad if you don't mess up the sugar and salt." Wen Xinya jested while watching him melt some butter in the pan with much finesse. After the butter melted completely, Si Yiyan placed the marinated beef into the pan and allowed it to simmer.
"How would you like your steak?" Si Yiyan asked softly.
"Medium well!" Wen Xinya answered, watching him flip the steak in the pan while adding some sauce that she had never seen before. A tempting fragrance wafted up to her nose and she asked, "What sauce is this? It looks very special."
All steaks tasted similar, and there were barely any new or innovative ways of preparation. The final taste would be determined by the sauces. Hence, Wen Xinya was extremely curious.
Si Yiyan grabbed the spatula and flipped the piece of steak before continuing to pan fry it. "This is a special kind of sauce that allows the beef to become tender and delicious. It suits the Asian taste buds too."
"This is Asian steak, isn't it?" Wen Xinya asked, chuckling. People of Z Nation had always placed emphasis on food. Food had always been a profound study ever since history. There were lots of different types of culinary styles and tastes. Hence, it was no surprise that the people of Z Nation could come up with ways to improve steak recipes, even though it was considered to be a foreign dish.
After frying the steak in no time, Si Yiyan drizzled some sauce onto the steak and meticulously sliced it into pieces. He then placed the plate in front of her and said, "Try it and tell me what you think of my culinary skills."
Wen Xinya picked up a piece of steak with a fork and placed it inside her mouth, only to sense that it was tender and soft. It tasted decadent and slightly charred. Si Yiyan was indeed a perfectionist who would do his best all the time.
"How is it? Does it taste great?" Si Yiyan asked smilingly.
Wen Xinya raised her thumb up while eating the steak and then answered, "Wonderful! If the Xiasi Group bellies up one day, you won't starve since you have such a skill."
"You're right. If the Xiasi Group really goes bust, I can become your private chef, Miss Wen," Si Yiyan said with a grin while frying another portion of steak.
Wen Xinya chuckled and said, "You want to be my private chef? You can't move me just by being a great cook."
Si Yiyan suddenly leaned closer towards her and said softly in a flirtatious manner, "In that case… shall I add in a warm bed?"
Wen Xinya blushed red with shyness. She pretended to be composed and scanned him from head to toe. She raised his chin and said, "Not bad, you're handsome, tall, talented and great in bed… I shall show mercy and spare you then."
Si Yiyan supported himself against the table and retorted. "Spare me, huh?"
Wen Xinya's heart dropped and she spluttered. "I'll know the details after an examination."
She almost felt like biting her own tongue off as soon as she heard herself. There must be a tyrant living within Wen Xinya! It was a result of how much Si Yiyan doted on her!
Si Yiyan smirked and asked, "How are you going to examine me? Do you want me to strip down to nothing? Or…" He paused in his speech and abruptly grabbed her chin.
Due to the fact that they had masks on, it was a little hard for them to kiss. Absence makes the heart fonder. The stiffness of the mask often reminded him to know when to stop.
However, he felt indignant about leaving without putting up a fight after flirting with her.
After kissing her and being lovey-dovey with her for a long while, Si Yiyan let go of her and licked his own lips in satisfaction. "Are you happy now?"
As red as a tomato, Wen Xinya nodded. If she were to shake her head, Si Yiyan would definitely continue to kiss her until she said that she was satisfied. The ancient saying went: he who understands the times is a wise man.


Originally born from a wealthy family, she ends up leading a vagrant life for fifteen years. However, when she is eventually found by her family, she falls into another devious plot and eventually dies tragically. 

Fifteen years after her rebirth, ravenously raging for revenge, she tears down the hypocritical mask of the foster daughter who had taken her place, and reduces her greedy stepmother and stepsister back to their original sorry states. 

To the jerk's profession of his deep love for her, she only has one thing to say, "Get the hell out of my life. The love you speak of humiliates love!" 

Regardless of the appearances of you monsters, I’ll take in it my stride with my capability, building a business dynasty of my own, sitting in the depths of my riches, bathing in the glistening limelight of the world. 

A certain rich empire's CEO: "Don't mind me. I'm just leaving my mark here to declaring my possession rights; I’ll wait patiently for you to grow up!" The queen's mighty return with commercial warfare fully within her grasp, she navigates the power struggles with skill and verve. When it comes to scheming conspiracies, all she has to say is, "Who are you again? Don’t even bother!"

After heating up a non-stick pan on high heat, Tie Zhu gently laid the two beautiful slices of mysterious meat on it that he had seasoned with salt an pepper. As soon as the meat touched the pan it emitted a satisfying sizzling sound as an extremely fragrant aroma of meat filled the air. Because the steak was extremely marbled, its fat quickly rendered down, so that no extra oil was needed.

After only two minutes, Tie Zhu quickly flipped the two steaks, revealing a perfectly caramelized golden brown steak that was still sizzling in its own juices. The smell was so intoxicating that he had the urge to eat it as it was even though he had not finished cooking yet. After impatiently waiting for another two minutes his preparation was finally done. After testing the firmness of the steak with his finger to make sure whether the steak was not under cooked he quickly turned off the heat before placing the steaks on a cutting board. 

Although he knew that he should probably let the steaks rest he could not wait any longer as his stomach was growling furiously. With a kitchen knife in his hand, he carefully made his first cut in the steak, making sure to cut against the grain of the meat. Immediately as soon as the knife cut into the surface of the steak, it slid through as easy as butter. There was barely any resistance at all as it's fatty golden red juices oozed onto the cutting board, revealing a perfectly cooked medium rare steak that slightly glittered with hints of gold.

As soon as the juices flowed out of the steak like an endless streak an indescribable aroma filled the air. Tie Zhu could feel almost every cell in his body calling out in excitement as his brain cried out to him to devour the meat. In fact, the smell was so strong that it had unknowingly woken up someone that was sleeping in one of the bedrooms of the penthouse!

Just as Tie Zhu was engrossed in the marvelous scene before him, he suddenly heard a door opening that took him out of his trance like state. He assumed it was Bing Meifeng, so he immediately walked out of the kitchen with the kitchen knife in hand. Just as he was about to tell her that it was ready to eat, his eyes went wide open.

That was because the person was not Bing Meifeng. It was actually an adorable looking bright eyed young girl that was sniffing the air as she walked closer to the kitchen. However as soon as she saw Tie Zhu her eyes immediately became alert, emitting a strong murderous aura as she noticed a stranger in her apartment that was actually wielding a knife, with a shocked expression on his face! 

As if she had forgotten about the intoxicating smell in the air she immediately appeared in front of Tie Zhu, before knocking him down on his back. Without giving him a chance to get up, she immediately pinned him down by sitting on his chest while staring at him murderously. 

"Who sent you here!" She suddenly asked murderously while her smooth petite hands were clasped around Tie Zhu neck.

Tie Zhu was taken completely by surprise as the young girl instantly appeared before him. 'What! This young girl is a cultivator too? And she's strong!" he secretly thought to himself in shock. Because he was not in his dragon state or had practiced any Martial Arts techniques, he was currently at her mercy. He decided that after this he would have train extremely hard to prevent things like this from happening again.

However, his shock only lasted a short while. That was because then the young girl had wrapped her petite hands around his neck she forgot that she was not fully dressed! She was currently only wearing a loose silk robe and slightly transparent purple panties. When she leaned over to grasp his neck she did not realize that he could actually see her small chest that were highlighted by her bright pink rose buds. 'Ah no, what am I! This is only a little girl!' he couldn't help but shout in his mind, however his eyes couldn't move as if they were locked in place, forgetting about the question she had asked. 

When the young girl heard that Tie Zhu was not responding she quickly cast a bone chilling gaze at his face to observe him closer. On closer inspection she had to admit that the boy was very handsome, however she quickly noted that his facial expression seemed extremely lecherous! When she saw that his eyes were glued to her chest anger immediately flared inside of her. Realizing the situation she immediately let go of his neck covering herself tightly with her robes. However when she did that she did not realize that it actually gave Tie Zhu a better view of her most precious area as she straddled his abdomen!

When the young girl let go of his neck, Tie Zhu was somewhat regretful, however what happen next went beyond his imagination. Because the robe was not very long, he had a perfect view of her slightly transparent purple lace underwear! Because the underwear were slightly transparent he could actually faintly see her most forbidden area. 'Why is such a young girl wearing such erotic underwear!' he thought to himself. 

It was completely different from what Bing Meifeng's had looked like as hers was actually completely hairless. Furthermore her honey pot was so tightly closed that her inner lips were not visible at all!

While his eyes were entranced by the sight of her bare pussy he could also feel her soft supple buttocks pressure his lower abdomen. Because of the overwhelming stimulus, his uncontrollable behemoth was strongly resurrecting itself once again. 'Noo, control yourself Tie ZHU!' He pleaded to himself, however it was of no use. 

"Thud"

As expected, Tie Zhu's behemoth did not listen to him at all. As if to protest against his will, it rose up as strong as ever landing solidly against the back of the young girl with an audible thud. 

"Ah" The young girl exclaimed before reaching back to grasp what had hit her. 'What's this?' She thought to herself as she squeezed a thick cylinder like object that was slowly beating. Because it was through his robes, she only felt a silky smooth texture, however she could feel it slowly becoming warmer. Not paying much attention to it, she quickly pushed it away, however it rebounded and hit her back again! 

"What?" she said, before finally turning her head. It was then that she had finally seen what had hit her! The huge object that reached around half way up her back was actually the young man's penis! 'How can something possibly be that big!!' she thought to herself in shock before quickly composing herself. Unprecedented anger and embarrassment flowed through her body. 

"Ahh, pervert I'll kill you!" She suddenly yelled before a large ice crystal formed in her hand in the shape of a dagger. 

"WAIT, WAIT, I can explain!!" Tie Zhu exclaimed to no avail. 

However, just as she prepared to stab into Tie Zhu, a desperate cry was heard from the direction of the bathroom. 

"AHH, Mom stop, it's not what it looks like! I invited Tie Zhu over!!" Bing Meifeng yelled before rushing to her mother to stop her from killing Tie Zhu.

WARNING! CONTAINS STRONG SEXUAL CONTENT, NOT SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE. 

AHHHH!!! That was the last of what Tie Zhu could remember when out of no where a small "Meteorite" fell out of the sky and and hit him right in the balls before passing out!

Little did he know it was at that moment a black sludge that was the former Tentacle God seeped into his blood and tried to possess him.

He raised his eyebrow. His interest at a peak, he asked, "What were you thinking about that it made you so shy?"
Su Yue blushed even harder. She mumbled, "Uncle Ming, you're so annoying."
Ming Ansheng frowned in confusion. "How am I annoying?"
"You actually called me 'darling'," Su Yue explained in a soft voice that is almost a whisper. 
"So that's why." Ming Ansheng smiled. He stood opposite her and asked, "Do you like me calling you that?"
Under the lighting, his smile looked wicked and flirtatious. 
Su Yue nodded unabashedly and lifted her head to look at him. She warned, "But you can't call me that in front of others."
Ming Ansheng nodded and agreed. "It's not meant to be heard by others." 
Su Yue blinked.
Ming Ansheng said, "Let's eat."
Su Yue picked up her fork and knife and started to cut the steak. But she hadn't realized that she couldn't slice through it at all. 
She recalled her painstaking preparation efforts and angrily put down her cutlery. "It's cold. It can't slice through it."
"I'll heat it up." Ming Ansheng stood up and picked up his plate hers as well. 
He then entered the kitchen.
Su Yue followed after him and stopped at the entrance. 
The kitchen was in a mess and it took him a while to find a place to put the plates down. 
He picked up the microwavable containers and placed the steak in the microwave.
After which, he put on his apron and placed the dirty bowls into the sink.
Su Yue leaned against the door frame and watched the man busy himself. Seeing his beautiful hands holding the cloth made her feel warm inside.
"Uncle Ming, did you cook for all the women you slept with before?" Su Yue suddenly asked. 
Ming Ansheng was speechless.
This little lass. Why did she mention this in the middle of the night?
She sounded nonchalant, but his answer had to be well-thought and satisfactory. 
Or else, she would definitely lock herself in the bedroom tonight. 
He put on a calm smile. "Of course not. I don't have such women."
"Don't lie. Lu Yinan said that you slept with someone when you were seventeen." Su Yue glared at him. "It almost slipped my mind. Hmph!" 
She then stomped and walked towards the sofa. 
Ming Ansheng chased after her. "Yueyue, how could you believe what Lu Yinan said?"
Su Yue looked at him and asked, "You mean that you didn't lose your virginity at seventeen?"
Ming Ansheng frowned. "Can't we let the past stay in the past?" 
"Why should we?" Su Yue pouted. "You're feeling guilty, right?"
Ming Ansheng was indeed feeling guilty. But he knew that he couldn't show it in front of Su Yue. 
He walked over and sat down beside her. He hugged her waist and cajoled, "I've never cooked for anyone before. You'll be the first and last person I'll ever cook for."
This tactic worked on girls like her. Su Yue smiled, but she still looked angry. She coolly said, "Don't talk to me until you've finished one bottle of wine."
Ming Ansheng nodded. "Alright, I'll drink it now."

Suddenly, Wen Xuxu stretched her hand to clutch his wrist and pulled him forcefully. 
Yan Rusheng was caught off guard and he lost his footing. He fell on the bed and then his breathing became sluggish. 
Young Master Yan was afraid that he might lose control of himself and do something to Wen Xuxu... the woman he loathed. So he hastily raised his head.

In the horse-drawn carriage, Brooker looked at Ian with a concerned expression, and asked, "Master, are you worried about the effect that Boss Mag's wine will have on business for our winery?"
Ever since they had got onto the carriage, Ian had remained completely silent.
"Competition exists in all sectors of the market, and it's the primary driving force behind innovation and improvement. If the wine he brews can truly pose a threat to our winery, then so be it. It's much more refreshing to see a man with actual skills and talent rather than all of those dimwits doing everything they can to suck up to me, thinking that I would provide them with a one-way ticket to riches and prosperity." Ian shook his head with a hint of a derisive sneer on his face.
"Then…" Brooker was a little perplexed.
"I'm thinking about whether I should invite him to become the supervisor at our winery so he can improve the quality of our wine." An eager smile appeared on Ian's face.
Brooker was still rather concerned as he said, "But Master, all of the winemakers working at our winery are very experienced and established figures in this field. If we force Boss Mag onto them, they most likely wouldn't be willing to submit to him. That would be too risky in my opinion."
Ian smiled, and said, "If they can't produce wine as good as Boss Mag's, then they'd better shut up and learn. The only thing that matters to me is results. Things like experience and ability are all secondary in comparison. Otherwise, our banks and winery would've never reached this level of success."
"But Young Mistress Scheer is the one in charge now, after all. Should we…" Brooker began in a quiet voice.
"There's no hurry. Scheer has been very busy recently, but if she can cement her collaboration with Mag, then surely he wouldn't be able to refuse me," Ian said with a smile.
…
"Father, why aren't you taking Mother with us? Is it really ok for us to come out for a late-night snack without her like this?" Vivian jumped down from the horse-drawn carriage first before turning to Michael. Despite what she was saying, she wore a beaming smile on her face, and there was not even a single shred of guilt or remorse in her eyes.
Michael also disembarked from the horse-drawn carriage, and he smiled as he replied, "I told your mother before coming here, but she didn't want to come, as eating at night will make her gain weight, so we could only leave her behind."
Vivian sighed, and said, "That's a real shame. To think that Mother is missing out on such a delicious spicy grilled fish. You should tell her next time to eat a spicy grilled fish, then a tofu pudding. Those two make up an unmissable combination."
Michael's eyes immediately lit up as he said, "Is that so? I'll be sure to bring one of each back for your mother. She'll surely enjoy it too."
Vivian smiled as she looked at Michael, and said, "Father, you're coming out for a meal with your precious daughter, yet all you're thinking about is your wife. You're going to hurt me like this."
"Alright, alright, order whatever you want to eat today, and we'll take the rest back with us," Michael conceded with a resigned smile.
"Well, don't mind if I do!" Vivian's eyes lit up as she strode toward the restaurant.
It was already close to 9 pm, and business in the restaurant was slowly wrapping up, so there were a few empty seats around.
Vivian strode in through the door, and was subsequently followed by Michael. All of the customers in the restaurant faltered initially at the sight of Michael before hurriedly rising to their feet to extend greetings toward him. They were clearly not expecting to meet the city lord here.
"No need for formalities, everyone. I'm just a customer who's here for a meal tonight as well." Michael waved his hands with a smile to acknowledge everyone's greetings.
"Could it be that Young Mistress Vivian is the city lord's daughter?" Yabemiya was looking at Vivian with a surprised expression on her face.
Vivian raised her hand and turned to Yabemiya with an excited expression as she said, "I want a large insanely spicy grilled fish!"
She then turned to Michael, and asked, "Father, we should be able to finish this together, right?"
"Well, about this insanely spicy flavor…" A hesitant look appeared on Michael's face. Judging from his experience in eating the super spicy grilled fish last time, this was most likely a level of spiciness that he couldn't handle.
However, at the sight of the excited expression on Vivian's face, he hesitated momentarily before nodding as he said, "Sure. We can take away what we can't finish here."
Michael then turned to Yabemiya with a smile, and asked, "Has the black pepper steak been released?"
Yabemiya nodded with a smile, and replied, "It has; it was released today."
"Is that the steak from last night?" Vivian was also very intrigued on hearing this.
"Yes," Yabemiya replied with a nod.
Vivian clapped her hands together as she said, "Then I'll get a black pepper steak as well. I was drooling the entire time last night. I have to taste one for myself today!"
Michael turned to Vivian with a perplexed look, and asked, "Didn't you already order an insanely spicy grilled fish?"
"That doesn't interfere with me eating a steak. In preparation for this meal, I didn't even have dinner tonight," Vivian said with a smug smile.
"What am I going to do with you?" Michael shook his head with a doting smile. He then turned to Yabemiya, and said, "We'll do as she says, then. We'll get two black pepper steaks and a large insanely spicy grilled fish."
"Alright, please wait for a moment." Yabemiya nodded with a smile, but there was a hint of envy in her eyes. Vivian was very fortunate to have such a loving father.
"Hello, Big Sister Vivian, Uncle City Lord!" Amy held Ugly Duckling in one arm and held Anna's hand with her other hand as she greeted the duo with a smile.
"Who's this, Amy?" Vivian looked at Anna with a curious expression. This little elven girl was very adorable.
"This is Big Sister Anna," Amy introduced.
Mag looked at the three conversing girls, and then at Michael, the straightforward and righteous city lord, whom he liked quite a bit. He was wondering whether he was here just to enjoy a late-night meal with his daughter, or if he was actually here for the steam engine.
The two black pepper steaks were brought out first.
"Oh! This is amazing!" A blissful smile immediately appeared on Vivian's face as she tasted her first mouthful of steak.
Michael also had his first mouthful of steak, and he couldn't help but praise, "It's even better than it was yesterday. As expected, Boss Mag can perform even better in his own restaurant. Beate lost fair and square."
After finishing their steaks, a massive spicy grilled fish was placed before the two of them; it almost stretched across the entire table.
The scorching waves of spiciness wafting toward them prompted Michael to reflexively shuffle his chair back; just the aroma alone was making his eyes water. This wasn't a normal level of spice; this really was insanely spicy!
"Oh! It smells so good!"
In contrast, Vivian poked her face closer to the fish with an excited expression, and even went as far as to fan the scorching air toward herself with her hand. A content expression appeared on her face as she picked up her chopsticks. Only after dipping a piece of fish in the spicy juices did she place it into her mouth and chew with a joyful expression. She then immediately had another mouthful of fish, and she simply couldn't stop.
Is it perhaps not as spicy as it smells?
Michael looked at Vivian with a curious expression, and hesitated slightly before emulating Vivian by dipping a morsel of fish in the spicy juices before placing it in his mouth.


In Chaos City on the Norland Continent, there is a strange restaurant.

Here, elves and dwarves share tables. Beastmen are prohibited from making a din, and giant dragons can only seat around the tiny square in front of the restaurant. Even demons have to bring their own stools…

But it is such a strange restaurant that has long lines outside every day.

Elves are stuffing kebabs, paying no mind to their manners; giant dragons are sitting around a hot pot, strainers in their hands; demons are eating nice-looking dango…

"There's no other place on this continent where you can find food like that! The boss here is a genius!" a customer provides such a review. Then, he gives a furtive look at the door. "Also, don't you think of kidnapping the boss away or dine-and-dashing, or you will suffer a tragic death."

"Eat, pay, or you will be beaten to death." says a cute little girl in her childish voice as she trots forward. A five-meter tall dragon shivers when it meets her eyes.

Qin Fen sat before his own steak, secretly letting out a sigh of relief in his heart. Luckily, he had eaten steak one time with Song Jia in the past.
Though last time he used chopsticks, he had researched the relevant fundamentals for eating steak from the Internet when he got home.
Steak wasn't bad either!
Qin Fen smiled. There wasn't too much difference between cutting steak and smearing jam on bread.
The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art slowly propelled within his body, and Qin Fen didn't follow the fibers of the steak in making his cuts. Instead, he pressed his knife in the opposite direction.
Xue Tian looked up to the ceiling and gave a long helpless sigh when he saw this scene. He never saw someone who worked and trained this hard. No wonder this kid had decent strength.
The young generation sitting present were all people who possessed some experience. As Xue Tian sighed, Ge Bing discovered Qin Fen's oddities as well.
Ge Bing gave a faint smile of disdain after a short observation. Was Qin Fen challenging him by cutting his steak in that fashion? Had the matter at the restrooms just now given Qin Fen the belief that he was qualified to challenge Ge Bing?
Lev Mirov and the others all followed Ge Bing's lead. When they saw that he didn't accept the challenge and use the same method as Qin Fen in cutting steak, they all followed and copied Ge Bing. They continued cutting their steaks using the normal method.
Failure... yet another failure... Qin Fen discovered that the control over force when cutting steak was a bit different from applying jam on bread.
What's this...? Qin Fen furrowed his brow as he examined the fibers of the steak that had been shaken into several segments from his power. He once again fell into contemplation regarding control over power. This possessed a certain similarity to sparring with different opponents.
Qin Fen went slower and slower with his meal. Every cut possessed a different feeling and sensation.
Ge Bing's very initial smile had changed into pondering. Qin Fen wasn't challenging him. Instead, Qin Fen was completely immersed in his own world.
He finished cutting the plate of steak, and the lunch gathering had already reached its end. Qin Fen looked at the plate of shredded beef before his eyes and helplessly shook his head. He didn't reach the desired result during this time's cultivation.
After eating bread and jam for the entire morning, even Qin Fen with his big belly was unable to eat the cut steak.
He gazed at the beef with a bitter smile and was dragged out of the room by Lin Liqiang. Song Jia and Enzo Rota followed behind.
Xue Tian used Qin Fen's knife to pick up the beef and take a look. His eyes immediately lit up. Qin Fen had improved from the jam application in the morning!
Xue Tian left the room, and only then did Ge Bing made his way before the beef. He raised a knife to pick at the strips of beef on the cold plate. A faint wrinkle of a smile appeared on his forehead.
"Young Master Ge, his control over power is quite formidable. How can you still smile?" One of the people besides Lev Mirov spoke.
"How boring would it be if his control over power was lacking." Ge Bing casually tossed away the dinner knife. "Lin Liqiang's strength of vision is still as sharp as before. He left his family, and now it looks like he's not like the rumors say he is, fed up with the struggle to be the family heir. He's found such a decent helper. He probably wants to rope him in to be his subordinate, right? Attracting talent from the outside? Sure enough, Lin Liqiang isn't someone to be underestimated. Perhaps he's the real one vying for Song Jia. Perhaps he's the true enemy."
"Young Master Ge's analysis is still as sharp as always." Lev Mirov was the first to give praise, causing the people around him, who wanted to give praise, to be quite upset.
Qin Fen walked into the elevator and looked at the friends beside him. "So where to next?"
"Where?" Song Jia smiled. "Just go back to your hotel. I'll go shopping with Qiangster and the others."
"Huh?" Qin Fen was stunned.
Lin Liqiang agreed with Song Jia. "That's right, that's right. Old Qin, right now your head is full of thoughts on increasing your power through cultivation. As your friends, we shouldn't be dragging you off to play with us right now. Right now you need to find a peaceful place and slowly heighten yourself."
"Mission. Dangerous. Power." Enzo Rota spoke three short words, and Qin Fen instantly understood the thoughts of his friends.
There were always dangers when executing a mission. Only those with tyrannical strength had their safeties guaranteed.
"Then okay. Y'all have a good and fun time." Qin Fen didn't refuse. His mind was crammed with thoughts on controlling power. Accompanying his friends to have fun could be considered a sort of disrespect to his friends.
"Qin Fen." Song Jia walked to the door to the hall and gently shook her fist. "Do your best!"
-------------
With the mission coming up, Qin Fen thought about how he was ultimately unable to kill Sajjad when Sajjad used the biochemical beast to explosively increase his strength. His heart's ambition and desire to do battle suddenly were roused, and they soared. 
Having seen the unleashed might of Zeng Yicheng's control and precision over power, Qin Fen became all the more certain that if his control and precision over power were just a bit stronger, he might have been able to capture Sajjad alive or kill him.
Qin Fen went to the streets to buy the cheapest t-shirts of pure white and returned back to his hotel room. He hung a 'Do not Disturb' sign on his door, went inside, and sat in the middle. He began meditating and was soon immersed in his own world of controlling power. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art slowly propelled within his body.
He didn't eat. He didn't drink. He didn't sleep.
This lasted until Xue Tian called him, reminding him that it was time to meet at the base below the hotel. Qin Fen quit this tiny closed-door cultivation.
"Oh, man. Old Qin. Seems like the air about you is different from before you did your closed-door cultivation."
Qin Fen gave Xue Tian a gentle smile for his assessment. If he hadn't made any improvements at all from his tiny closed-door cultivation, then it had been too wasteful.
Qin Fen couldn't help having his eyes light up when he saw Xue Tian as well. This man, who doesn't appear hardworking no matter how one might look at him, clearly showed enormous improvements by the way he walked in regards to power control.
Qin Fen gently shook his head. He was not the only one to improve. Xue Tian had made improvements as well, and his speed of improvement was just as fast.
The metal door to the base, which was a foot thick, slowly opened its two sides, and a disc, rotating at high speeds, let out an air-piercing sound as it shot through the air maximum speed.
Xue Tian and Qin Fen's eyes immediately radiated light. Such rotational speed and power would break even a block of wood the size of a baby's arm. The normal disc had become a sharp killing weapon.
Pop.
Qin Fen raised a hand and pinched the flying disc with his thumb and index finger, firmly squeezing it between his fingertips.
"Put it in the DVD player."
Butcher, who had thrown the disc, gave Qin Fen a very blunt command.
The disc was placed in the DVD player, and the lighting in the room dimmed as the DVD player spun the disc at high speeds. The video was played back quite smoothly.
The scene was of a small-scale battle. The defensive side consisted around twenty people, with almost all of them being professional bodyguards wearing black suits. From their movements and coordination, it appeared that these bodyguards had served and trained in the military in the past.
The offensive side consisted merely of ten people. Each of them were dressed up differently, but they all had the exact same red armbands. The armbands all had the image of a scarlet red scimitar!
The video instantly froze, and Butcher spoke out. "The Scimitar. The Federation internally ranks them as the number ten terrorist organization in terms of strength. They are part of Sajjad's two sects."
The still video resumed playback, and Qin Fen could see it the moment the members of the Scimitar organization began mobilization: the twenty or so bodyguards wielding T75s, nine MM pistols.
Soon the situation in the video verified Qin Fen's speculations. The Scimitar organization had clearly planned this fight long in advance. These people's military skills were quite to the standard, and they paired themselves with weapons far that far exceeded the bodyguards' loadout.
Four STG-556 assault rifles engaged in fire, and the powerful suppressive fire made it so that the bodyguards were incapable of raising their heads. Then a T93 sniper rifle, which was accurate at a range of 800 meters for shooting the triangle of death, quickly eradicated the bodyguards who peeked out with their heads, wishing to counterattack.
Then two more members of the Scimitar organization quickly set up a mortar! It was the 100mm Type PP89 grenade discharger! 
Qin Fen saw this mortar that could be called an antique weapon by now, and in this instant, he knew that the bodyguards hiding behind the vehicle were completely screwed!
Cannons had a reputation for being the kings of war.
The 100mm Type 89 mortar was already a standard antique based on its year of creation. However, its might in the face of the human body was still a might that was tyrannical!
This antique weapon had a maximum firing range of 6,400 meters and a minimum range of 170 meters. It roared in fury as if it were telling everyone that it had yet to reach retirement age. Its vicious strike smashed into the vehicle.
An enormous ball of flame ascended with the explosion, and fragments of the vehicle flew in all directions. The bodyguards taking cover behind the vehicle were instantly blown into pieces. Destroyed limbs flew through the air.
They were done! Qin Fen spat out a long breath. The speed of these bodyguards wasn't enough to allow them to escape the speed of the sniper hiding in the distance, and they were incapable of performing the evasive military techniques that could deceive the mind. This left only two ways to die.
Those hiding behind the vehicle were fried alive by the artillery, while those who left the vehicle, an object of cover, were gambling in their retreat. These were killed by the sniper. 
The final outcome of the battle was just as Qin Fen predicted. Not even a minute passed from the initial attack to the end of the battle. The twenty or so professional bodyguards, who possessed the quality of soldiers, had all died in battle, and the members of the Scimitar organization quickly packed up their weapons and left the battlefield.
The video stopped completely at this moment, and the dim lighting in the room brightened once more. Butcher's voice could be heard once more at this time. "There are records that these twenty bodyguards have served two years in the military. They possess the most fundamental military techniques. They were the bodyguards for the Flying Hearts. Before they could carry out their jobs as bodyguards, they all died in this battle that didn't even last a minute."
"Careful preparation. Precise coordination. A sudden planned attack. Excellent military techniques. The end results are to be expected." Iron Hand rubbed the stubble on his chin. "It looks like Scimitar dispatched these child soldiers this time around. They are probably planning on using this concert as their graduation exam. It looks like they have failed so far. They were actually tricked by the fleet of bodyguards into attacking."
The seasoned soldier Monkey had a face of derision. "The reward for getting rid of these people probably won't be as high as getting rid of solely Sajjad, right?"
Iron Hand gave a thumbs up in agreement. "It should be like this. These child soldiers have been dispatched to carry out a terrorist attack, but they are doing it as a test. What bounties do they have? I reckon that their names aren't even on the Federation's wanted list."


"Qin Fen had once been abandoned and broken until, one day, he picked up a liquid metal ball that turned his life upside down.
This is the interplanetary era where Classical and Modern Wushu are competing. Classical Wushu enables followers to grow as powerful as dragons and elephants, whereas Modern Wushu enables followers to freeze monsters or even extinguish erupting volcanoes.
Qin Fen steps onto the stage of both Classical and Modern Wushu while belonging to neither. With the exquisite combination of both Classical Wushu and modern technology, he will pave a way to become a legend.
He is one of a kind, a favored son of heaven." -KyleChow_
"He is a youth, a gentleman, and a scholar cultivating in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. He has the strength of ten dragons and ten elephants, producing clouds with a turn of a hand and rain with the other. This is a story about the clash of passions between neo martial arts and paleo martial arts. This is a story about transcending the apex, about forcefully slaughtering one's way into the legends. This is a story about fading into nirvana, about the prideful of heaven!
In this world, cultivating the paleo martial art known as the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art to the pinnacle allows one to possess the enormous strength of ten dragons and ten elephants! In this world, the Nitrogen Freezing Magic can freeze even a volcano on the verge of eruption! In this world, the Magma Art can instantly melt and vaporize a glacier!
This is a heavy undertaking by Skyscrapper back in 2009! This is a story of affection, of love. This is a story never lacking in friendship. This story, overflowing with heated blood, is certain to cause your own passion to surge!
This is a radiant era where hot-blood, friendship, love, and heroes converge, shine, and interweave upon each other.
Click and fall in love with this legend." -Strivon (Translation of original synopsis)


Nian Junting clenched his teeth and looked at her.
Luo Sang burst out laughing and said, "Didn't you always brag about your sexual endurance? Didn't you say that you can 'seckill[1]' the others in that area?"
"I didn't lie. I was nervous because it was my first time. We should have kept the light on," Nian Junting said as he turned on the bedside lamp.
Luo Sang covered her face as the light pierced her eyes. Her body was pink, and her voice was as slight as the voice of a mosquito. "Maybe… we should try it again some other time?"
"No need. I'm alive again." Nian Junting snorted coldly, fell on top of her, and began biting her lips.
Luo Sang gaped. "It's too soon. Not even lightning is as quick as you."
"As I said, I can seckill the others." Nian Junting snorted.
This time, as the light was on, Nian Junting washed away all the shame. At first, it was very painful for Luo Sang. Nian Junting had done a lot of preparation, but still, Luo Sang bit his shoulder because of the pain.
He bent over and lowered his head to find her lips with his, then he kissed her gently with extra patience. Only after she gradually relaxed did he free his own body. After that, Luo Sang felt as though she were being thrown on top of a giant wave and then into the clouds.
They had done intimate things before. However, after this really happened, they realized that what they had done before was nothing real. When the real thing happened, the pleasure was so strong that their minds were even blurred. Of course, Luo Sang felt like weeping, but she had no tears when the pleasure went beyond the limit.
Her eyes stayed dry, especially when Nian Junting kept asking her a series of questions, probably because of the shame that he felt after the first try.
"Did I seckill Yi Jingxi?
"Did I seckill Chi Shengxu?
"Are they as good as I am?
"Are they better than I am?"
Luo Sang even wanted to kill this shameless guy. God knew if they were good or not. She had never slept with another man. He was so unreasonable. She did nothing but laugh at him just now. She couldn't help it. She laughed at him because he always bragged. The facts proved that no one should give a man verbal stimulation about his sexual capacity.
When it was finally done, Luo Sang felt drained. She couldn't even lift her limbs. She had gone many places today and had also tried diving, so she was already exhausted. Now, her whole body was sore. She wanted very much to sleep but didn't let herself, because she was hungry.
As Nian Junting wiped her body with a warm towel, she raised her red face, looked at him with a pair of pitiful, watery eyes, and said to him in a complaining tone of voice, "I'm hungry."
Nian Junting was a little stunned. "I don't think you should make it so intense the first time. I don't want you to get hurt."
Luo Sang blushed scarlet. "What are you thinking about? I mean that empty-stomach kind of hungry," she said grumpily.
"I see." Nian Junting now understood her. He knew that she had a great appetite, but he hadn't expected it to be so great. "Didn't you just have steak?"
"That was an hour and a half ago," Luo Sang complained. "I was washing dishes and doing sports during the past hour. Of course I'm hungry. Besides, the steak didn't fill me up."
"So it's been that long. I'm amazing." Nian Junting paused for a second, then had a proud look on his handsome face. "In this case, it's reasonable for you to be hungry."
Luo Sang hated to admit it, but the sex did last a pretty long time. He was worthy of being a former special forces soldier and a freak who was able to easily dive 20 meters deep to the bottom of the sea.
"I'll call the restaurant and tell them to send us some food." Nian Junting got off the bed and called the restaurant in the hotel to order some midnight snacks.
[1] The word "seckill" originated from the online game, "Legends" and is a gaming term meaning, "to defeat your enemy within seconds."


It was supposed to be a perfect deal in which both parties got what they needed. However, after the child was born, he tore up the agreement with discontent and told her, “Who said that we'd only have one child? I want twins! Twin brother and sister! You’ll continue giving birth to more children until you bore me a pair of twins!”
Luosang was beyond endurance. “Nian Junting, damn you…” she raised up against him, “Nian Junting, is this fair to the pure love in your heart?” 
Then, a marriage certificate was thrown at her. 
He landed on her, slowly curved his lips in a smile, saying, “Aren’t you my pure love?” 

It was already six in the evening and Becca Wise was still not ready for their date night. Liam was going to pick her up at half-past six and she had not decided what to wear yet.

There were piles of dresses on her bed and she was still rummaging through her closet, "Why don't I have anything better to wear?! Ugh!" She groaned. Becca was not the kind to stress out when it comes to date night but for some reason, she was both anxious and excited about that night. Even when she dated Seo Joon back then, she did not bother so much and just chose what she would normally wear. But why was it that Liam made her feel this way?

"You're so silly, Becs!" She told herself.

She was about to give up when she remembered the shopping bags from a couple of weeks ago. She and Hannah had a little bonding over shopping and she bought a few clothes back then. 

When she found the bags, she hurriedly searched for a dress and saw a sleek black midi dress that had a figure-hugging fit. Her smile reached her ears and she got thrilled to get ready.

Later, her doorbell rang and she pranced her way going to the front door. "Coming!" She shouted.

However, she accidentally hit her foot on a chair, making her shriek. "Ow! Fu- Damn it! Ow Ow Ow!" She bent down and rubbed her foot to ease the pain.

"Becca?" Liam asked from the other side of the door when he heard her. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah… I just… I'm coming," she said as she carefully walked towards the door, limping a little before she opened it.

Liam's brows raised when he laid his eyes on her and the corner of his lips lifted up into a smile but it quickly faded when he remembered what he heard just earlier, "I heard you shouting. What happened?"

"I hit my toe on the way to the door," Becca pursed her lips and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

Liam chuckled, imagining how she skipped her way to greet him. "Were you that excited to see me?"

She playfully hit his chest with her purse and scoffed, "Whatever." She giggled when she realized that she was caught red-handed.

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her close to him. Resting his hand on the small of her back, he whispered as he leaned closer, "You look beautiful by the way." 

"Of course," Becca smiled before she tiptoed and gave him a soft peck on the lips. "And you look striking." She complimented him in his dark grey knitted long sleeves, topped with a black coat.

"Of course," he mimicked her answer and they both grinned. "Let's go."

When they set up their date night the day before, the two of them decided to choose a random hotel that was recommended online and the one that they had picked was located outside their city.

Arriving at the hotel, they marveled at how huge it was and how grand it looked. Both of them had never been there before so they were not sure what to expect yet. 

The restaurant was packed with diners and fortunately, they got the last available table which was in the middle of the room. Not knowing what to order, they asked the waiter for a recommendation and followed it.

"How's your pasta?" Liam asked as he cut through his steak.

Raising her eyes, Becca looked at Liam, "Honestly? It's salty. I can't finish this." She grabbed a glass of water and downed it in one go.

He looked down on his dish and finished cutting his steak before he exchanged their plates. 

"Wait, what are you doing?"

"I'm not really that hungry, I'll just have this salad. That steak is good, you should try it." Liam said as he started eating his greens.

"But you ordered this." She tentatively poked the meat on her plate.

"It's okay, you can't eat the pasta if it's too salty and we can't wait for another order."

Becca was touched by his gesture that it made her smile. Sighing, she picked half of the steak from her plate and placed it on top of his salad, surprising him. "I'm on a diet," she said.

Liam chuckled at her reasoning. They both knew the real reason behind their words and it just made the atmosphere that evening lovelier despite the food mishap.

After eating their meal, they agreed to go up to the roof bar to enjoy a drink. However, when they got there, there was a sign that said:

"Exclusive Party. No invitation, no entry."

The roof bar was packed with people partying and drinking and loud music filled the place; it was inviting and it looked really fun.

"Hmmm… too bad, I guess we'll just have a drink-" Liam stopped when he turned to look at Becca but found that she was not beside him. "Becca?" He searched left and right until he found her waving at the corner of the hall. "What-"

"Come on!" She gestured for him to come over.

With knitted brows, Liam walked up to her with a confused expression. "What are you doing?"

She grabbed hold of Liam's hand and dragged him. "We're sneaking in. Oh well… in this case, we're sneaking out?" She giggled as they walked through the door and entered what seemed like a preparation station or a mini kitchen where the staffs were busy.

Liam's eyes went wide but he just followed Becca quietly until they exited the other door. As soon as they got out, they were greeted with a very lively atmosphere. Everyone was dancing with drinks in their hand as they enjoyed the party on the roof. The bar was on the left side while a pool was on the right.

"Are we really crashing this party? We don't know anyone in here." Liam questioned. His heart raced because of excitement and worry.

"Who cares? Let's just enjoy the party!" Becca swayed her hips and danced to the music, signaling Liam to come closer with her finger.

With his hands on his waist, Liam chuckled and shook his head before he joined his woman. The two of them moved their body to the rhythm of the music in the middle of the crowded roof bar. 

A waiter with a tray of drinks passed by and each of them snatched a glass of sparkling wine. They laughed as they looked at each other and clinked their glasses, knowing that they just stole drinks from someone's party. 

"I've never done this before," Liam admitted.

"Neither have I!" Becca replied in a louder voice.

Setting their glasses down on the bar, Becca pulled Liam towards the pool. 

"Oh no… you're not…" Liam widened his eyes but Becca had already started removing her dress. "Woah! Uh… what what-" He quickly removed his coat and covered her with it. "What are you doing?!"

"You and I are going to go on a swim," She said. "This is a pool party, sweetie. Let loose." She winked and threw her dress on the sunbed next to her.

Liam swallowed as he watched her strut towards the pool with only her plain black underwear on. His heart beat rapidly and he quickly looked around but no one bothered to look their way as they were too busy enjoying the party.

"Oh F*ck it!" He muttered before he removed his own clothes and placed them on top of Becca's dress.

Becca eyed Liam as he walked towards the pool to join her. He wore only boxer briefs, showing his toned abdominal muscles for everyone to see. He was definitely a sexy man. It was no wonder that he attracted many models and celebrities.

Liam shook his head when their eyes met and formed a boyish smile on his face. "You are one crazy woman, Ms. Wise," He whispered in her ear after closing their gap.

"That must be why you like me," She hooked her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss in which Liam gladly cooperated.

Under the water, he placed his hands on her back and they traveled down to cup her bottom. He lifted her up and she instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist, all without breaking their kiss. 

Liam moved towards the end of the pool until Becca's back touched the wall. Their bodies pressed against each other in the water, the little waves rocking with them. 

Without a care about other people and without caring whose party they crashed, Becca and Liam were in their own little world.

Slightly parting her lips, she welcomed his invading tongue. She slipped down his body a little and was surprised to feel him hard down there. He groaned as he slightly pulled back and whispered, "We should go home." 

She saw the fire in his eyes — something that she had not seen from him before but it did not scare her. She pressed her lips on his once and nodded.

Torak was very curious about what Raine really wanted on her birthday. "Then, what do you want on your birthday?" He changed his question tactfully. "Your birthday is only two weeks from now, at least I need to prepare it."
"You don't need to prepare it, this is not something that need a lot of preparation." Raine grinned and nuzzled her head on Torak's neck, her warm breath was so ticklish against Torak's skin.
"But, I think we still need to celebrate it with lunch." Torak thought about a few recommendation restaurants that he had planned to visit with Raine. He was too busy with his work recently, so he could set a foot firmly in this new city, which wasn't his territory, and spent a little time with Raine.
Not to mention Raine had stopped to come here to study when she already took the entrance exam.
"How about eat something that you like?" Torak asked and saw the stars twinkled in those beautiful eyes.
"Steak?" Raine beamed. Actually, it didn't matter with the food, as long as she ate with Torak, she could digest everything. Raine wasn't a picky eater after all.
"I know one restaurant that you will like." Torak caressed her cheeks. "Shall we go now?"
"Will Calleb and Raphael join us?" Of course she wouldn't leave out her buddies, Raine liked it when they ate together. Especially when she took a glance of how Calleb's ears perked up the moment he heard the word 'steak' was being mentioned.
"If you like it." Torak agreed.
And with that, the four of them went down to the parking lot. Calleb took the seat behind the wheel while Raphael beside him and the mate sat on the back.
"The first day will be next week, I think we need to stop by a bookstore to buy something for you after lunch." Torak suggested.
[But, Torak you have meeting with marketing department at 2 p.m.] Raphael reminded Torak through mind link, he didn't want to spoil the fun, but Torak still has some other thing to do.
[Set the meeting at 4.] Torak answered, he thought at that hour he already back.
[Yes.] Raphael started to type email on his laptop for the attendees of the meeting for the change of time.
"Have all of you gone to college also?" Raine asked that question out of the blue, suddenly she became curious.
Referring to what she knew, Lycans have a long life span, did they go to the college during that time?
"I did." Torak chuckled. "I graduated 76 times."
"32 Times." Said Raphael between his activities, replying bunches of emails.
"23 Times." Calleb chimed in and then gloated. "And I always be a valedictorian." The Gamma grinned from ear to ear with smug face.
However, like usual, he got a slap on the back of his head from Raphael. "Stop gloating, all of us did." He even didn't take his eyes from the laptop.
This scene was so familiar for Raine and she always enjoyed to watch them quarrel or argue over trivial things.
"76 times? That's so many!" Raine squalled. "What kind of major that you took?"
"I can't remember them all my love, but I think I took one each." Said Torak while caressing Raine's hair affectionately.
"You must be very smart." Raine mumbled.
"If you have a lifetime to learn that isn't a surprising thing." Calleb said as he hit the brakes because of the red light and turned to face Raine. "But that gradually becomes very boring because you will do the same thing over and over again."
"Eyes on the road please." Raphael pushed Calleb's face away with his hand. "Green light."
A frustrated grumble heard from Calleb's lips as he resumed his focus on the road ahead.
"How old are you to be exact?" Raine asked again, though Torak and the other looked like in their late twenty, but they must be older than that.
"869 years old." Torak answered.
Raine's eyes widened as her lips form an 'O' letter. "We have 851 years gap."
Torak chuckled, Raine was actually counting that. "I hope you don't mind with someone much older than you."
Raine hugged Torak as an answer. "No." She giggled. "How about the two of you?"
"I am 324 years old and Calleb is only 72 years old." Raphael answered Raine. "In our kind 72 years old is consider a pup."
Calleb protested when he heard that. "Don't be ridiculous." To be called a pup hurt the Gamma's pride.
"A pup? That's cute." Raine commented.
"Really?" Calleb turned his face with bright smile to see Raine for her complement, but before he did that, Raphael had slapped his head again.
"Eyes on the road!" He growled.
Raine suddenly remembered something. "Torak, can I have a bunny?" She raised her head to see him, but she met with his frowning face.
[Let's make a bet!] Calleb suddenly mind linked Raphael. [I bet Torak will give in.] And he added. [One month salary?]
It was well known that Torak didn't like to have a pet. Well, why he needed a pet to look after when he already had bunches of mad wolves at his beck and call.
However, Raine would always be an exception for Torak, right?
In the other hand, Raphael rolled his eyes incredulously. What happened with this Gamma, why he always has this sort of bet?
"I always want to have a bunny…" Raine added when Torak didn't reply to her. "But, it's okay I don't really want it…" She yielded when the frown on Torak's face deepened.
"Okay." Torak finally said before a disappointment spread on his mate expression.
"Really?" Raine sought for a confirmation. "But, this is not what I want for my gift." Raine didn't want to exchange the gift that she really wanted for this.
"Of course, you can ask another thing." Torak reassured Raine.
On the front seat, Calleb laughed quietly as he glanced at Raphael as if saying; 'see? I win again.'
However, Raphael ignored him and mind linked Torak. [Torak, you never like pet.] He reminded him.
[I like it now.] Torak answered nonchalantly.


Snippet:

A year ago Raine was discharged from mental institution and had to live in the orphanage. It wasn't the best place. At least not for someone like her.

Until one faithful night she met him.

***

He stopped the car.

The clutched on the blanket tightened as Raine wonder if she did something wrong. She could feel it when Torak reached out his hand at her.

Will he hit me? Raine shivered with that thought.

Torak pulled back the hoodie off her head and gently tucked her hair behind her ear.

"Don't." He said firmly, "I want to see you, don't hide yourself…"

**************

“The spirit of the guardian angel will breathe new life into human child. Three guardian angels will be born into terrestrial world once again and the three of you will be their protectors.”

“Protectors!!?” Jedrek snapped. In the end, he stopped walking and turned his back to look at the moon goddess from far distance away, his eyes glistening red with anger. His wolf was livid. 

“Why do you think we will help?” Kace asked while narrowing his black obsidian eyes, his wolf took control of him. He was the youngest among the three and the less temperamental among them.

The three of them were cursed by Selene because of their ferocious action to gain supreme power and authority. 

The moon goddess didn’t bless them with a mate as a punishment of their atrocious way and forced them to involve in this deadly war with the demons.

“You will turn us into a slave for those sickly creatures!?” Torak asked incredulously. “Aren’t you afraid that we will snap them into two?”

The guardian angel was so fragile and they as lycanthropes didn’t appreciate the weaknesses.

“No, you will not.” Selene said patiently. “You will not be their slave nor hurt them, you will cherish them in every way possible.”

Jedrek laughed menacingly upon hearing this, they didn’t care about the resurrected of the beast, once they crossed their territory, with or without the guardian angel he would tear their body apart. “I will be the last person they will see, once I find them.” He was referring to both the guardian angel and the demon.

But, the next voice from Selene was laced with mirth when she spoke.

“You will not hurt your mate.”

**PURPLE DAWN TILL DUSK: dearest through the time
**THE STORY OF DUSK

Klein pressed down on the grayish-white wall and slowly sat up straight. He smiled and shook his head.
"Before I fill my stomach, my brain refuses to work."
He was speaking the truth, and also a lie. This was because, before becoming a complete Mythical Creature, a saint would still be hungry and thirsty. But to a Sequence 3 demigod, not eating or drinking for half a month wasn't a problem. As for a whole Mythical Creature, eating was only a hobby, not a necessity.
What he wanted to express was that, before he officially made attempts at escaping, he needed to be in optimal condition.
"The habit of a Magician," Amon commented with a smile. "I'm not in charge of providing food, but you can think of a solution yourself."
Looking at the lantern on the ground, Klein thought for a few seconds before reaching out his right hand into the air.
A not-so-tall coffee table immediately appeared in front of him. It was an item from the residence belonging to Dwayne Dantès.
Under the dim yellow light, Klein reached out once again to summon a beautifully packaged box from the Historical Void.
Inside the box was a set of cutlery, including a knife, fork, and cup.
The reason why he chose this item was because he couldn't form a set of cutlery by individually summoning them. He could only maintain three images from the Historical Void at the same time.
After setting up the cutlery in a leisure manner, Klein politely turned his head to the side and nodded at the pointed hat-wearing Amon. Following that, he summoned a medium-well done steak covered in black pepper sauce.
It landed on the porcelain plate, emitting some steam. With him slicing the steak with the knife, he revealed the remaining edge of the pink protein.
Klein forked a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth. He felt that the texture was real and the texture was succulent. It wasn't fake at all as it really calmed the anxiety of his stomach.
"For fifteen minutes, not only will I not feel hungry, but I will also receive 'real' provisions." After swallowing the piece of beef, Klein smiled and introduced it to Amon like a hospitable host, and not a pitiful Beyonder who had been kidnapped.
Amon pressed against the crystal monocle and nodded with a smile.
"I've tried it. It's not bad.
"Your ability to adapt is really quick. Are you really not considering being my Blessed?"
After cutting another chunk of beef, Klein forked it up and replied as though he was chatting with a friend: 
"Kill me."
At that moment, the relative frequent lightning and endless darkness ruled the land. Wherever the light from the surroundings couldn't shine on, eyes were staring at the area with zero emotion. The twisted, dark-red grass gently swayed in the occasional breeze.
In the half-collapsed building, the dim yellow light painted the artistic coffee table and the exquisite cutlery with warm colors. The aroma of the steak wafted in the air, not showing any contrast with the outside world that was continuously connected to it.
Under the gaze of the terrifying monsters in the depths of the darkness, Klein enjoyed a sumptuous meal in a refined and poised manner in the desolate land that was soaked in extreme terror.
After finishing his steak, he summoned a small glass of iced wine from Maygur Manor and drank it in one gulp.
Following that, cream soup, pan-fried cod, tender lamb stew with peas, baked potato skins, and all sorts of grape wines were summoned one after another before entering Klein's stomach.
During this process, the steak that was the first to be eaten had already been maintained for a long period of time. It had vanished into thin air, but Klein's stomach and body were numbed by the subsequent food and he was oblivious to it.
Of course, the coffee table and food were replenished. Otherwise, they wouldn't have lasted to the end of his meal.
At the end of the meal, Klein continued reaching out his hand, pulling out a cup from the void. Inside was a ball of vanilla ice-cream.
He then used the spoon to scoop the ice-cream into his mouth, feeling it melt with its delicious sweetness.
After the ball was finished, he still wasn't satisfied as he summoned another ball of ice-cream from the Historical Void.
As such, he ate five different flavors of ice-cream in a consecutive fashion.
When Klein reached out his hand for the sixth time, Amon, who was sitting on his side, suddenly laughed.
"Your fate has had an abnormal change. You're lucky enough.
"Is this your preparation?"
Klein's right hand immediately froze in midair. His pupils seemed to dilate to a certain extent.
Almost at the same time, in the darkness around them, where the lanterns couldn't shine, strange creatures twitched and instantly became Klein's marionette.
This time, Klein sent out a hundred Worms of Spirit in one go, hoping that one of them would be lucky enough to avoid Amon's theft.
Right on the heels of that, behind the coffee table, a figure wearing a black coat and no hat was replaced with a disgusting vampire covered in pus.
The artistic coffee table and exquisite cutlery shattered like glass that had been smashed to the ground. Countless cracks appeared and shattered.
They quickly returned to the Historical Void, just in case it affected Klein's subsequent summoning attempts.
In the next second, the one hundred marionettes, along with the Klein, who had hidden somewhere, reached out to grab at the void. He attempted to avoid Amon's interference with quantity.
At that moment, they were all Scholars of Yore.
This was the ability of Bizarro Sorcerers, the source of the qualitative change of a Seer.
Of course, the chances of success of each marionette summoning was independent, so there was no influence each had with the other.
At that moment, the projection that Klein was summoning was the projection of Reinette Tinekerr who had recovered to "Her" peak state in the Tudor Ruins. Due to the contract and charms, "She" was the easiest angel projection he could summon from the Historical Void!
Amon was still sitting leisurely in "His" spot. "His" monocle emitted a faint glow as "He" watched the 101 Kleins summon at the same time.
WIth his right hands reaching out in an orderly manner before being retracted, none of his hundred marionettes succeeded. He didn't drag Reinette Tinekerr out of the void.
At that moment, Amon raised "His" right hand and also grabbed ahead of "Him."
"His" arm sank slightly, and "He" casually pulled it back. Outside the half-collapsed building, a huge cloth doll that was as huge as a castle appeared. It was wearing a dark and complicated long dress, bound by vines.
Ancient Bane Reinette Tinekerr!
Amon had stolen the historical image that was summoned by Klein!
Reinette Tinekerr's red eyes immediately reflected the figures of Klein's hundred marionettes.
Without a sound, the marionettes, that were either disguised with Klein's appearance or in the state of a monster, emitted a faint glow, turning into horned mountain goats, white rabbits, and other different animals.
Transformation Curse!
Klein's actual body had long disappeared. Then, he walked out of the flames that rose up from the animal hide lantern.
He looked at the various animals that might be considered his and suddenly sat down and chuckled.
"Taking a stroll after a meal effectively improves one's health."
He didn't mention anything about his attempt to escape, as if nothing had happened.
Amon maintained "His" relaxed posture and nodded cooperatively.
"I've read quite a number of books written by humans. There are indeed such opinions among them."
With that said, "He" raised "His" hand and pointed at the projection of Reinette Tinekerr.
"This is your messenger?"
This was something that could be easily confirmed, so Klein didn't hide it. He tersely acknowledged and nodded.
"What a pity." Amon sized up Reinette Tinekerr's projection and shook his head with a tsk.
As he felt the food in his stomach disappear, Klein asked, "What's the matter?"
"I should bring you to Backlund to wait for a few more days. That way, I can wait for your messenger to deliver a letter to you. Then, 'She' will become my messenger." Amon nudged "His" monocle on "His" right eye and said with a smile, "Snatching an angel messenger. That will be very challenging and fun, isn't it? Life needs some fun, excitement, and anticipation."
"I share the same thoughts," Klein replied sincerely.
"What a pity." The hatted Amon shook "His" head again. "Evernight is someone I need to be careful about. If we stayed there any longer, even I wouldn't have any idea what would happen."
As he spoke, this Angel of Time dispelled the Historical Void projection of Reinette Tinekerr, allowing "Her" to vanish in front of Klein.
"You seem to be very wary of the Goddess?" Klein pretended to be a devout believer of the Evernight Goddess.
Of course, he didn't need to don a disguise. He was still a Blessed of Evernight.
Amon's gaze shifted to the lantern inside the half-collapsed building and looked at the dim yellow light.
"I'm unable to steal things that I'm curious about from a concealed state. I can't decipher what other arrangements 'She' might have and what' the key thing to take note of are."
To a King of Angels of the Marauder pathway, there was sufficient reason to be apprehensive.
Taking advantage of the opportunity while Amon was answering his question, Klein suddenly recited the honorific name of the Evernight Goddess in Jotun:
"You are the Evernight Goddess who stands higher than the cosmos and more eternal than eternity…"
Just as he said that, his thoughts were lost. If he hadn't had such plans previously, he wouldn't have known that he had made such an attempt.
Amon turned to look at him and said with a smile, "Are you trying to sound me out, believing that I'll also repeat your words after stealing your thoughts and words?
"At Sequence 4 Parasite, one is able to control the stolen items and make them appear at a suitable time."
"Is that so…" Klein nodded gently. "Thank you."
As he spoke, Klein quickly summarized his experience and lessons of his escape attempt.
Because the existence of the contract and their subordinative relationship, summoning Miss Messenger is the easiest amongst all the angels I know.
Summoning the ice-cream from the past Will can establish a subtle connection with "He" who represents fate, and allow me to be blessed with luck. Yes, every ball of ice-cream represents a portion of my luck… I originally planned on summoning ice-cream as a cover to secretly summon the Snake of Fate.
In the future, the summoning had to be done with a certain degree of interference. Otherwise, Amon would be able to directly steal the Historical Void image I summon. It would only be giving "Him" a helper after going through so much effort…
Just as his thoughts raced, Amon pointed at the bunch of animals that had been cursed by the Transformation Curse, and he said with a slightly evil smile, "Aren't you worried that there won't be any suitable food in the Forsaken Land of the Gods? There it is, as long as we don't dispel the curse, they're real animals."
"…" Klein was stunned as he suddenly looked at the goats and the white rabbits.
With him willing them, the animals looked at him simultaneously.
In a sense, they were all himself. After all, they were combinations of Worms of Spirit and monsters before being hit by the curse.
