Chapter 18 - Explore

The apartment Conan and his babies rented was pristine and clear. The sitting room, in which they chattered, had a black rectangular screen attached to the wall but they ignored it since they didn't know what it was or meant for

"Ol' Papa, I and Zoe bought some clothes!"Kitty spiritedly said.

"Really? That's great just be careful okay? And the two of you mustn't fight okay?"Conan warned both kitty and Zoe before turning to Loki and Liam "...you can use your money to buy whatever you want, don't worry about me okay?"

The babies nodded, each of them keeping their thoughts to themselves.

Conan then gave his babies instructions on what to do and whatnot until suddenly he stopped and drowsily yawned "...It's time to sleep, you guys can take the rooms, I'll sleep here on the sofa."

The apartment had two bedrooms, a washroom with a toilet, and a sitting room. All of which he paid five thousand Mornts to rent. Conan didn't know whether he was swindled or the apartment was just too extravagant.

The babies went to their rooms according to their genders. Silently as they thought of how strange Conan acted. The two boys didn't seem to care, but the girls planned to explore the new world they landed in.

As Loki and Liam got to their room, Loki fell to the bed and 'slept' immediately. Seeing different types of people making different types of poses on his face put a bit of pressure on his mind as he had never seen such multitudes, not in the citadel.

Liam on the other hand went to the desk located by the window of the room. He took out Golden Mornt Notes and stacked the wads upon one another diligently, with an enthusiastic spirit.

"...Who would have thought being rich was this gratifying?"

The breeze rustled the mountain of Mornt Notes and destroyed the order in which he stacked them. Fearing he might lose his money to the breeze, he closed the window shut immediately.

He started counting the notes, but soon he got bored and kept the money back in his spatial ring and went to sleep, his smile not fading as he dreamt of the harem he would make in the future.

He got the idea of Harem from an erotic book, written by the immortal son of the god of literature, in the library of the citadel.

Conan did not only collect babies during his babysitting years, he also collected all kinds of literature, manuals, techniques, arts, and divers of knowledge, inspired and written by different gods or pseudo gods or immortals.

...

In the girls' room, Kitty took off the outsized coat and exhaled in relief.

Her figure was then revealed. Her shoulders were narrow and her waist small, with wide hips and thick thighs. Her bust was modest and almost next to being called flat, but her buttocks made up for it with fullness and well-roundedness.

She wore a black long-sleeved shirt underneath the coat that clung to her lean and sculpturesque upper body. Even though she looked innocent when she wore the outsized coat, now she looked mature and shrewd.

And it was at this moment that Zoe realized why Conan asked her to wear the outsized coat; Her lower half was too attention-grabbing that even she felt lacking a bit.

The pants she wore clung to her thighs like glue and couldn't even conceal her assets "Ugh! I hate these pants!"

She groaned and forced the trouser to get off her thighs but alas, they ripped apart under her strength. She didn't mind as her face had reddened out of frustration. In childish temper, she proceeded to tear the pants off completely.

After she was done, she exhaled in relief and undid her bun, letting her blue hair cascade down her back. She noticed Zoe's glare at her and responded with hers.

"What?"She asked.

"I made you that pants."Zoe's voice came out venomous, her glare as piercing as a Nether-Attuned Dagger.

"So what? We bought new clothes didn't we?"Kitty glared even more.

The two never had a good relationship.

"You and who?"Zoe refuted. It was like her emotions were being forced to show up from the deepest parts of her spirit, where she hid them.

"You and I!" Kitty defiantly replied, her expression utterly provocative and her blue eyes even seemed to be glowing in the dimly lit room.

"It was my money."Zoe's toneless voice refuted sharply.

"It was no one's money!"Kitty was shouting at this point. She had already put the soundproof barrier down and people could hear their conversation if she continued shouting.

And then again, she could amplify her voice with her pure spiritual energy and make her voice louder, it was like shouting was her expertise.

"You're shouting, "Zoe said, her voice low and full of frustration.

"I'll continue shouting if you don't give me what I want," Kitty said. Blackmailing Zoe, she channeled her spiritual energy and made a projection that displayed how Zoe killed the Men of Kongieus out of her palm.

Zoe's face stiffened in an instant, shocked and speechless as to how shameless kitty was.

"I'll show it to everyone, and they'll know how bloodthirsty you are."Kitty elffishly said. Emotionally blackmailing Zoe, knowing she didn't want Conan to know about what she did to the Men of Kongieus.

Zoe sprung to her feet sharply with her expression distorted in anger. She summoned a long, metallic, and incredibly flexible cane and she pointed its rounded tip at kitty in malignancy. "How dare you!"She snarked.

Kitty also acted back, summoning her bow, and she pulled the string. A glowing blue arrow of highly concentrated spiritual energy materialized as she did so.

The two glared at each other maliciously, the atmosphere in the room got dense, and even the breeze seemed to stop blowing in.

"You think because we are now in mortal bodies, I can't scold you anymore?"Zoe asked, her tone was deadly and kitty even felt her restrained bloodlust oozing out into the atmosphere.

Kitty had always been weaker, even the weakest among them in the strength aspect. Even in the Power aspect, she had to imbue objects with spiritual energy before she could manipulate her pure spiritual energy.

Everyone had spirits in them, it is the faculty of emotions and power source but It is also the core of a person's power only through cultivation can one fuse all three; Spirit, Soul, and body resulting in evolution.

But only the peculiar spirits that have attributes or affinities in them could cultivate spiritual energy. And only humans with powerful bloodlines do.

The ones without the aforementioned simply live as mortals...

Most cultivators' Spirits have elemental attributes, but there were beings with Pure Spirits and without any attributes. Beings with these kinds of spirits were rare and were the bane of the emotionally and mentally weak.

They were called 'The Pure Spirited'...

They can sense emotions and even induce emotions, even passion through music— like kitty — or enthrallment and various ways.

Kitty was Pure Spirited and she was capable of doing all the aforementioned. The control of her pure spirit even enabled her to make illusions and projections, thanks to the guidance of Conan.

Kitty was not even a human, she was a nine-tailed fox as an immortal—but not anymore as three of her tails had been sealed, thus mortality— and it was said that only the shrewdest of minds possessed the pure spiritual energies, well, she was born shrewd.

"Well, what can I say? But unless you kill me, you can't stop me unless you give me the clothes."Kitty might be weak, but she was determined on getting the clothes that she picked during their shopping spree, even if it was not bought with her money.

She had swallowed her pride a few hours ago... And surprisingly, it didn't taste bad.

Silence ensued for a moment, a silence filled with hateful and schemey glares

"Fine!"Zoe crankily said. Kitty was her bane, always getting on her nerves, and never had she won against her emotionally. She did win a few times before, but it wasn't impressive in the least. And what was more frustrating was that kitty seemed to always Invoke her emotions that she didn't know how to show.

She hated the feeling, thus, she always stayed away from kitty and even bullied her to no end, hoping she would stop talking to her, but to no avail.

Zoe sighed, raising her hand above the fluffy bed, she channeled her spiritual energy Into her spatial ring, making a mountain of clothes, shoes, and materials which were initially kept in the dimensional space in the ring to actualize on the bed.

Kitty's expression brightened on seeing this, she tossed her golden bow—with thin intricate purple patterns on it aside— and went to select her clothes.

The reason it took them so long was for one, Zoe was bad with directions and kitty was busy teasing her for it. And two, they went shopping.

Zoe sighed and waited for kitty to pick up her clothes so she could put hers back in her spatial ring. Her silver cane— which had thin purple patterns coiling all around in a unique fashion— constrained in size and turned into a bangle, worn on her wrist.

"I've decided, these clothes, we'll share them equally, that's what sisters do right?"Kitty smiled shrewdly at Zoe, whose expression twisted and her anger resurfaced. The bangle on her wrist dangled a little, ready to elongate back into the terrifying, malleable cane.

But she stopped, knowing kitty was getting a reaction out of her already, and she couldn't beat the sense out of her as they had both reached an agreement on an important decision.

"Be quick, he'll come to check on us soon."Her reddened and angered face hadn't returned to normal indifference even after she tried to suppress it and it was all Kitty's doing who was picking the clothes and keeping them in her spatial ring as fast as she could.

After they were done, The both of them changed into 'comfortable wear' and 'slept'. Or so Conan thought when he came to check up on them.

"Good..."He muttered and closed the door stealthily. And set off to 'explore and avenge.'
