The Universe is now in ruins, and perhaps even the True One is crying. The Heaven and Rebirth Realm are no more, and their warriors are imprisoned because of the wrath of the True One. The Spirit and Chaos Realm are in tatters, and have become ruins. Only the Base Realm has remained, on which the mortals live.

Param was seated on a luxurious chair near the dining table in Yun Bao's tent. It was her way of saying thanks as well as apologizing. The fireball which was supposed to hit Mega Groot was aimed improperly and put the three in great danger. Yun Bao wasn't as thick skinned as her juniors, and she felt that she should make up for it. So she invited the couple for a grand dinner.
Param touched the edges of the dining table which was carved intricately with designs of flora and fauna. He had to admit, this sexy senior lived a rather elegant life. Madhu was clearly baffled after seeing waves after waves of beautifully garnished dishes. The best dish she could remember until now was fully roasted meat, which tasted much better than half roasted meat.
Claire who sat beside them ate little like a noble woman, and she ate less and wiped her soft red lips more the entire evening. Soon the dishes became empty and Madhu almost gave a burp; she was still in her tomboy mood after the fight.
"We shall take our leave now" Param said after a little chat.
"Are you two interested in learning magic ?" the senior suddenly asked.
Param was a little stunned and furrowed his brows. He looked at Yun Bao and thought a little. Why did she want to teach them magic just now ?
"Thank you !" Madhu was a little fast and replied for them. They left the tent, with Madhu supporting the limping Param.
Yun Bao and Claire watched them walking towards their tent. They saw how the man tried to feel the woman's breast, and how the strong woman smacked the man's head.
Claire gave a rare amused smile and said. "They are not bad people."
Yun Bao was still watching the departing couple and spoke. "Indeed, but they are very smart and opportunistic people. These type of people are the worst enemies, because they do not die easily."
She turned around and faced the captain of the expedition troop. "Are you sure nobody taught them how to manipulate magic ?"
Claire shook her head. "No. Although it sounds unbelievable, it seems like they have learned all this by observing and analyzing."
Yun Bao folded her hands around her chest which pushed her soft breasts out. She became thoughtful, and her right index finger touched her lips, an act she always did while deep thinking. Time passed, and Claire felt awkward as she could only stand still when her superior was deep in thought.
"Why don't you take them to the Fairy Continent ?" the sexy senior suddenly said.
"Huh ?" the captain replied subconsciously.
"You cannot ignore the Fairy lady. Even though she is not probably from the royal family, she is still a Fairy ! Although these youngsters have dubious origins, they are clearly not malicious. And we both know what will happen to them if they fall under the hands of either the Dragon or the Devil colony."
Claire nodded. Although they too were curious about the couple, at least they wouldn't cut them open to search for secrets; after all, Madhu was still a Fairy which was a form of authority in itself.
They entered the tent, and made plans for the future until deep into the night.

Two hours after the dinner, Param was still trying to meditate but couldn't concentrate. The sole of his foot hurt because of the damage to his chakra, and it sent waves of shock periodically. He opened his eyes and sighed.
"What happened ?" Madhu asked as she came close to him. She'd just taken a bath and her natural scent lingered in the air. He wished to just throw away the disgusting and evil towel covering her body and take her there and then. But he could not, because he was afraid of her fists. The reality was : her fist was stronger than his.
He suppressed his wishes and told her his problem.
"Why don't you try to activate those healing points ?" Madhu said, and marked many locations on a paper.
"FOOk ! So that's what they are !" He immediately broke his Profound Energy into multiple streams and passed it to various acupoints. Those acupoints reacted and slowly started to heal the damaged chakra.
"You are a genius !" He exclaimed and hugged her. Madhu laughed, she was happy she could help him, until she felt something. One of his hand was fondling her breast while the other was busy groping her perky butt. And she could feel his sword getting awakened.
*smack*
She smacked his hands away and said. "Concentrate on your healing first."
Param could only dejectedly say : " Yes ma'm".

Imperial Dragon Palace, Dragon Continent.
The Imperial Dragon Palace was vast and had many rooms for specific purposes for the entertainment of the royal family, one of them was the Herbal Tea Room.
Bahut Bhondu, an imperial prince and a close brother of Shur, entered the tea room and sat in one of the chairs. A servant fetched some tea leaves and placed it near him along with some hot water and honey.
(Bhondu means "idiot")
He created his tea and held the cup with one hand, while his other hand held a cultivation manual. The manual was marked in many places, and many corrections were pointed out and resolved. Although he looked muscular with naturally formed ripped muscles, he was a timid person and a scholar. His martial talent was as good as a crow's talent for swimming.
"Hey ! Isn't this our prince Gandu ? Oh sorry ! I mean, prince Bhondu ! Hahahaha" He heard a loud noise, and he didn't even have to guess who'd come.
(Gandu means a p*ssy, or a coward)
Three men walked near another table next to his and gave him jeering smiles. Usually people of their status would never dare to do so, these people could only do it because they were his elder brother, Bahut Leechad's lackeys. The Elder, Bahut Accha loved kids and affectionately named him "Bhondu". However these lackeys spent no effort in teasing him and breaking his will. Even though he and Shur were the children of a concubine, there was still a chance to inherit the throne if they were powerful enough.
The prince seemed to be used to this and paid them no attention. The lackeys tried to provoke him, but they realized that they couldn't get any reaction from him.
"Tch. He really is a Gandu." the leader of the lackeys said and waved to his underlings, telling them to leave.
They could not see that Bahut Bhondu had his fist clenched this entire time. When they left he threw a vicious gaze at the door through which they went. He remembered his promised to Shur.
"I will help you become the Dragon Emperor."

Outskirts of Su Clan, a branch of the Great Root Druid Sect.
Other than the Druid Shrine, the world of the Druids was controlled by the three great sects, named Great Root, Great Stem and Great Leaf. Each of these sects dominated a part of the Druid Continent, and had their branches in every continent. These sect branches, in turn had their sub-branches via various clans.
The Su Clan was one of those sub-branches.
Two figures, a man and a woman, appeared as they walked through the bazaar which was on the outskirts of the village. These figures were Sura a.k.a. the Mad Saber, and Ananya, who was popular until now as the 'kidnapped widow'.
"It is hard to believe that the Druids would spend so much efforts to secure the newborn druids." Ananya exclaimed. She was no longer an ignorant woman, as Sura made sure to hammer lots of general knowledge into this lady.
"Indeed. Although the Druids do not generally care about other matters, they are extremely sensitive when it comes to their young ones. As Druids can be born anywhere in the world, they are afraid that their young ones would be captured by other races." Sura calmly explained.
Being the son of a Saint, he had excellent education since childhood. Remember that this was an era where education was a luxury, especially more so in the Human Continent, who were almost on the verge of extinction.
The Su Clan was a local tycoon, and its massive residence from a distance. Sura had planned to work for a caravan to journey to the Makara Dynasty in the south-west, from there he would go the Beastmen Continent.
