long pov
walking up at first light, I quickly put on a green robe and went to knock on nyx door. nyx its time to wake up. knocking for 3 mins. well she's not getting up. heading down the wooden stairs I find a table. a waiter walks up to me
"what would you like to eat sir"
"I'll have your stake, cooked medium rare with soup" without glancing at the waiter before the waiter was about to leave "I want your best tea"
"right away sir" the waiter quickly makes an exit towards the kitchen.
taking a deep breath out long looks off into the distance watching people eat. sigh" why was it me"
flashback
late night the red light district was well lit with people coming and going.
"young master let me pour you another cup" a beautiful women wearing a short robe that was a bit to small. showing off all her curves, amplifying her breats
"keep it coming beautiful" smiling and grabbing the beauty. making her sit on his lap while he kept two girls on his side. "hhaha this is the life"
boom the door to the brothal blew open" lei long get your ass here" the head elder said. his voice echoed though ththe brothal.
"who cares interrupt this king" furious that someone shouted his name ruining his fun. looking towards the door. "head.. head..head elder" quickly running towards head elder" head elder I welcome you, this is the finest brothal in red light district, you wont be disappointed" without thinking he said, only to be glared at by the head elder.
"is this how you spend your time? running around with escorts? you have talent but you spend your time fooling around. no wonder you lost to nyx two weeks ago" shaking his head he looks at long" anyways I'm giving you a mission. if you do this correctly you will be next head elder" looking at the wide eye long
"what ever it Is I'll do it" long said with a smile.
"I want you to get nyx to marry you" the head elder said with a serious face. the air got colder.
"nope, cant do it nope. no way." long denied right away
"you have no choice in the matter. so you need to change your image and stop going to these places, need to change your image and get rid of these rumors" saying that he started walking away and threw a sack full of money to a hostess. "this will fix the damaged"
standing there I can only take deep breath and sigh.
little did he know the head elder found out nyx was the child all the immortal clans and schools and families were looking for.
present time.
sigh. I can only sigh out my worries. taking a deep breath out.
"excuse me, can we sit here?
looking up he sees two people, a boy and girl looking at him then staring at the empty seat.
"alright but you have to pay for my meal" long said to them
"alright" the girl said before taking a seat followed by the the boy
"hello I'm hua and he is gen. we are traveling to thousand death valley" with a smile on her face.
the waiter comes out carrying longs food. "here you go sir" placing the food down.
"we would like 3 more portions of that" hua says with a smile. the waiter quickly notes it down and returns to the kitchen.
a few hours goes by and we get our food. once we finished eating and started drinking our 3rd helping of tea I feel a child chill up my spine.
I thought we were leaving at first light" a cold voice enters my ear.
"shes wakes up now when I'm enjoying myself"
"nyx I wanted to, I honestly did. you just wouldn't wake up. hmpt not my fault" long said trying to build up confidence. showing off to my two new friends.
staring at him with a cold look which could freeze hell itself "I see" watching my every move but at that moment a group of people burst through the door.
thanking you for taking off the chill on my back.
"where is the heavenly madain" the guy with the group yells given a lustful glance around dumbass, the only thing i learned with talking to nyx is that she hates lustful people. turning back to state at Hua and gen. looking at gen, he was looking at nyx with a daze and Hua stated at her with envy.
" gen you better not fall for nyx its nothing but bad news." long said shaking his head. nyx quickly gets rid of the group of people. and says "are your two friends coming"? before lleaving and calling her two pets.
clasping my hands I turn to the dead bodies, cripple, and the guy who arm got cut off "thank you for taking her anger" them I turn to hua and gen. " well do you want to come with us? staring at them.
"sure" hua jumps out and gen follows hua silently.
"so is that the imfunous nyx you were talking about?" Hua says with a light voice pleasant to ones ear.
"yah, why can't nyx be more like you" thinking about his life before nyx and the brothal with girls fawning all over him. such is life. quickly slamming 10 gold down I walk out of the inn with hua and gan.
nyx pov.
lustful people, I understand admiring beauty and wanted to have it but there shouldbe no lust. sighing I quickly walk towards where long put the carriage. it looked cleaner then when we left it, I guess someone cleaned it while we were gone. huh.
opening the door I quickly get it and take out a pillow. it was my favorite pillow. made from grade 2 demonic beast fur and stuff with feathers. soft to the touch. perfect. putting it in my ring I leave the carriage. I see long and his two guests walking towards me.
"hello nyx in hua and he is gan" hua said with a friendly smile
"hello" given them a short reply I glance at long who stares back at me with a hardy smile.
it's not like o dislike them it's more i dont like people and keep them at a distance. you can never be to trusting with humans, they will kill even their own mothers if the gains were high enough.
"im cutting though the forest it will be faster and give me time to train my skills." turning around I head out he city toward the forest with my demonic beast in tow.
standing there with an awkward smile hua looks at long"is she always like this" asking long
"yah she is a pain but she is strong" long can only sigh to himself
time skip 1 week
we are halfway to death valley of we keep going it will only take 6 days. sitting on a tree branch looking at the rising sun I close my eyes and thinking about all my wasteful sword moves or movements. mumbling. when am I going to advance with flash step. maybe I need ti switch movement arts. thinking about how she uses it and cant change directions when she uses it without first appear. I need to advance it to major completion. then their is Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer which I can't even use fully and just started introduction. I need more sword manuals and other arts. maybe a fist or palm manual, I also need time manual since I'm clueless on how to go about that. I think its lucky I gave up the bow.
I'm lacking in so many fields.. maybe I should have given up that match with long and joined somewhere else so I can fil in my weakness. no pills for regret. sighing to myself.
a few hours goes by and I start to packing up before waking up everyone to get going.
Roar!! a loud roar came form 2km away from us.
"what was that? want to check it out?" Hua says with a smile. not waiting for us to reply she darts off into the trees.
looking at each other we each run after her. 3mins later we caught up to her and land in a tree. just part the a few trees 20m away there as a rank 2 flame lion facing a rank 2 earth bear. the flame lion was 2m high and 3m long carrying a majestic aura to it. while the earth bear had an earthy glow to it. watching the two demonic beast go at it the earth bear clearly had the advantage. it swiped the lion with its 4inch long claws causing the lion to lose an ear tip as it tried to duck under it. "roar!" a roar of pain came form the lion as it goes it to bite the bears neck. but instead of meaty neck it got nothing but though fur and skin. its death only sank in a third of an inch. the bear then uses its claws to dig into the lions sides. blood drips from the sides as its ribs crack from the claws. releasing another painful roar the lion lets go of the bears neck. it releases its claws on his paws to hopefully dig into the bear. but to its demise it can only leave shallow cuts. death loomed over the lion as the bear reached down with its maw and but the lion on its shoulder. its claws dig deeper into the lion as more crunching sounds echos to us. finally after 10mins of struggling the lion muscle looses up a bit and the bear claws piece deeper into the lion killing it. taking out its bloody claws the bear releases a loud roar to say its king of this area now.
we all look over at the once king and can only sigh to his pitiful it is. reinforcing survival of the fittest we all stand up and get ready to leave. just before the bear was about to eat the lion jojo jumps out into the opening with bear. before the bear can react jojo expands to 9m and wraps around the 2.5m bear. he contracted around the bear before it could put up a fight. the bear eyes were bleeding was we can hear crunching noises coming from the bear. its started to cough up blood and its eyes pop out from its head. after 2mins the bear was dead. jojo enlarges its mouth swallows the bear whole. them picks up the lion bring it to hera to eat. hera then dislocatedit jawand eats the flame lion. both demonic beasts then shrink smaller with no appearance of eating two large demonic beats moments before.
looking back at the group who were in shock about jojo and hera I can only give an awkward smile before going to pet them on their heads. "let's get going" I say to then before resuming our journey.
