Rex walked out of the room and saw four figures standing outside the gate, waiting for him.
Three of them were the old men trio he used Absolute Slave Seal on, right now they were wearing a black coat, black pants, black belt, and even black glasses, their getup was similar to that of a bodyguard. These were the uniform Rex designed for them, it wasn't like they were too willing to wear them but had no choice.
The fourth one was Mr. Black, the assistant type bot Rex made before, his getup was the same as before, a butler model.
Rex nodded in satisfaction after seeing them, he then walked to his previous room which is now Lerna's room. The four figures in black, Lucia and Ye Tian Clone followed him to the outside of the room then took their position and stood in a straight line.
Inside the room, Rex saw Lerna standing in front of the mirror. She was wearing a long dark-green dress, the dress was full-sleeved with wide openings, she wore light-green gloves covering her hands, her long green hair were braided behind her head, her face was hidden behind a green veil preventing others from having the luxury to see it. Overall, Lerna now had a hint of elegance just by standing there, she looked like royalty just by decently dressing up.
But of course, she wasn't the one dressed up like that herself, it was Lucia who did it. Rex didn't believe when Jiang Shuang told him that she was a self-trained make-up and dress-up artist, after all, she herself didn't use these too much on herself but now he can't help but admire her more because of that. But when he thought about how women in big families focus too much on their looks he realized that it was no surprise that Lucia knew about these things as a head maid. Earlier he even let Mr. Black observe Lucia as she did it, so that he can do it for Lerna in the future when they are on the trip.
Rex then turned around a little and noticed that a big part of the bookshelves was empty, his lips couldn't help but twitch, he could guess that Lerna had now stuffed her storage ring to the brim.
Suddenly he heard some noise, he took a few steps forwards and saw Little Aru who was squatting on the floor the other side of the bed, a big bag resembling a tourist bag was lying open in front of him. Little Aru took out the shining stone, spirit cores, and spirit fruits he has hidden below the bed and stuffed them in the bag.
Little Aru noticed the movement behind him and raised his heads, he saw Rex looking at him. He stood up then dashed towards him and used his head wrapping attack to thoroughly bind Rex with his necks.
Rex lovingly patted his head then again looked at the bag filled with spirit cores, fruits, and even stones.
"Baby, are you going somewhere?" Rex asked with a bad premonition in his heart.
"Ao?" Little Aru mobilized his five pairs of eyes to stare at Rex in confusion.
"What do you mean? Isn't he going," Lerna turned to Rex and said.
'Should I take him with me?' Rex thought.
[Have some mercy on the residents of Myriad Beast Continent,]
Rex's lips twitched. He then thought what if Little Au started to singing while walking in the middle of the street when he is in good mood, it will be a disaster for the innocent public of Myriad Beast Continent.
He then seriously thought about other possibilities too and slightly frowned, he shook his head and used Telepathy.
{Do you know what you are saying? You seem to have forgotten how normal people in this world live because you are living in such a peaceful and calm environment. Remember this world is just strong eat weak once the facade is removed. They don't dare plot against you because you are strong but if you are involved in some feud then although they cannot scheme against you directly but what about Little Aru?
We don't know much about Myriad Beast Continent and doesn't have any force backing us there, and you still think that it's safe to take him with us? There is a reason why I gave you that silver bracelet spirit tool to hide your aura, it was to remain low-key and avoid trouble as much as possible. You are still forgetting the most important thing, do you think Little Aru is normal? After my bloodline fusion and mutation, he had become very strong than his peers.
He is strong but naive, what if his variant race caught the attention of some greedy person? The world is filled with many unknown things, just because you reached the Calamity Lord stage doesn't mean that you are omnipotent. Here in Frozen Flame, no one dares to touch him even if they are curious about his race because they know about the forces behind him but what about Myriad Beast Continent? They don't know anything that's why they dare to make a move against him,} Rex reprimanded her.
Lerna was a little annoyed after hearing his lecture but she could tell that these words weren't made up and it was indeed not good to take her 'fragile', naive and innocent baby on the trip.
She took a deep breath, then patted Little Aru's head with her eyes filled with love.
'Why doesn't she look at me like this too?' Rex sighed.
"Son how about you let mother go alone this time, we can go together some other day okay? I promise, I will bring a lot of gits for you as souvenirs," Lerna said in a polite and gentle tone, which only made Rex feel more hurt as he never gets to hear that for himself.
Little Aru widened his eyes and disbelief, in the net second he wasn't reserved anymore, his eyes were filled with resolve as he used
[A mental attack? Quite frightening,]
Lerna backed off and turned to Rex with a defeated look on her face.
'I had been prepared for it long ago, Rose take out my script,' Rex said with a firm expression, a holographic window with a notepad open on it appeared in front of him.
"Little guy, why are you getting depressed just because you need to live without us for a few days? Aren't you a man? Didn't I also let you meet that Little Elf and Little Coco? Won't they feel bad if you left them here alone," Rex said.
When Little Aru heard his words, he thought about it and slightly lowered his head, Rex's words indeed felt right to him.
Seeing that it is working, Rex struck the hammer when the iron was hot.
"Moreover, I have three strong uncles for you who can play with you until their last breath- no I mean until you want them to. Their cultivation base is stronger than you so you don't need to worry about holding back or anything. They are standing outside the room for so long just to see you, wouldn't they feel bad if you left them just after meeting them? Yes, if you want then you can also let them hear your song... But only when no one is around. Little guy, I promise that next time I will take you on a big trip with me so please stay here for this time," Rex said but at the same time, he felt a little bad for the old men trio.
Little Aru blinked his eyes for a few times before he nodded his head in agreement. Although he wanted to go with them but it didn't seem to be possible anymore, and as Rex said Little Elf and Little Coco will feel bad if he left them alone, moreover he got three new uncles he could play with all day.
Rex patted his head then nodded at Lerna, he then walked out of the room with them.
The old men trio saw Lerna and the five-headed beast behind her.
"Look you three, this is the sweet little guy I talked about yesterday. you know what to do right? Don't leave him alone and take care of him all the time or else you know hehe..." Rex laughed politely.
The old trio stared at the beast then at Rex .
Didn't you say it was a cute little boy? Didn't you say he is fragile and naive? Dafukk he is little and cute... Okay, his round eyes are cute but what the heck, his body is emitting the aura of a fukking Monster King! Where is the trust between fellow humans? The old trio thought.
Lerna and Little Aru weren't surprised by the Ye Tian Clone as they too already knew about it.
Rex ignored them and walked to the main door of the castle.
Just when he arrived at the main door, he saw a woman in black standing there with half of her face covered with her fan. Jiang Shuang was standing in front of her, he seemed to be asking something but the woman was completely ignoring him.
'Zakiya? Wait, this idiot why he is seeking death again?' Rex rushed towards them.
When Jiang Shuang saw Rex approaching, his eyes shined, he took the initiative to speak.
"Brother Rex, do you know this lady? She is standing here, I asked her if she is an acquaintance of yours but no matter what I said she didn't respond, I thought she was deaf so I used Qi transmission message but she still didn't respond," Jiang Shuang said.
Deaf your sister! Why do you always perform a naked dance in front of death like that whenever you meet Zakiya? Rex thought.
{Brother why don't you want to live long? What will Little Qing do if she lost her father at a time like this? What will Madam Jiang do? Would I be able to take care of her... Wait that's not the point. Why do you want to die like this? Of all the people you could find, why do you have to seek death in front of the so-called King Of Forest,} Rex said.
Jiang Shuang raised his eyebrow he didn't understand the meaning behind the sentence at first but as soon as he did, his back was covered in a cold sweat and his legs felt soft.
"So how does it feels to touch death then and come back?" Rex asked.
Jiang Shuang didn't say anything and just used a wall to support his legs, the King Of Forest had a terrifying image in everyone's heart and if they know they were seeking death with it then...
Little Aru curiously looked at Zakiya.
Lerna narrowed her eyes at Zakiya from afar but didn't approach, her instincts had already warned her to maintain the distance furthermore, she could feel an invisible pressure just by her mere presence. She also noticed Little Aru was planning to approached her and stopped him. Little Aru was reluctant but obeyed his mother.
The old man trio was surprised when they looked at her, they didn't felt any threat or bloodline pressure instead they were mesmerized by her beauty. As the cultivation base of a person increases their body gets more refined and its hidden charm is brought out in the process. Things like body shape, skin color, hair type, height, body built or eyes color..., etc won't change instead they will become more refined, everything has their beauty it is just the point of view that makes the difference, a deer won't get seduced by a lioness and that's a fact when the features of the body gets more refined, the barrier between the point of views became thinner.
Rex didn't talk anymore and moved to Zakiya.
{Was teacher worried about me and came to give me some godly artifact for self-defense?} Rex asked with an expectant look.
Zakiya had a headache, her disciple was talented but he was far more expensive than those who were willing to train under her for decades without getting anything or asking a single question.
She didn't speak and pointed her finger at him, a light shot out from her fingertip and entered his forehead.
[You have obtained the
'What the heck is wrong with this name?' Rex thought.
{I have told you that your body is your greatest weapon but you had no good technique to use with it so I am giving this to you. Although it's somewhat incomplete and only has the first three chapters but it's after all a Saint Grade Technique. It specializes in killing the opponent in straight forward but unavoidable ways, this was the signature technique of late Heavenly Beast Sovereign. He had gained his fame because of this technique so don't underestimate it,} Zakiya said.
Rex nodded. He didn't know what Saint's grade is or how high is it, he had asked Zakiya before but she told him that he will know when it is time so no need to ask right now.
{Teacher, was this Heavenly Beast Sovereign that awesome? Was he your acquaintance that fell in time and gave you this technique to pass on his inheritance? Do not worry teacher, I will bring out the full potential of this technique,} Rex said with a resolute expression.
{Acquittance? No, it was someone who died under my hand,} Zakiya said.
"..." (Rex)
{It was from the time when I got that Ancient Teleportation Portal, he wanted to snatch it from me thinking that he could overpower me with
