"@#$#$@&"
"@##@#"
As Varian was recovering from the shock off almost dying and killing someone he just met, he was mentally exhausted. As he looked around the room he realizes that he was in a shed that had holes which allowed barely any sunlight to enter. Finished observing he finally looked at the blue haired woman and the others that were casually talking, he was wondering if they didn't realize that she almost died who knew how long ago.
"@#@#@?"
He heard the voice directed towards him but he couldn't understand so he tilted his head, question marks were visible on his face. It now occured to him that it would be inconvenient to communicate and query about his location and situation. He was afraid of causing a misunderstanding. Infact Varian had always been cautious of people especially women, it not that he was afraid of them it just that he couldn't read women as easily as men so he developed a cautious personality towards them just in case something happened.
SWOOSH
The sound of a blade cutting through the air resounded throughout the room. Just a he was about to react he found it and in at the side of his neck, he looked up and saw that it was the lady that seemed like she was in her mid 30's that pulled the sword that appeared out of nowhere and pressed it against his neck and saying some words he couldn't understand, his face was now pale either from the pain of the wounds he received earlier or the fear he had no.
The blue haired lady hurriedly stop the other lady and approached Varian making him subconsciously put his guard up even while knowing that even if he wasn't injured he couldn't do anything against them, the reason he killed the man the last time was because of him playing dead and the man being too arrogant to check if an 'insect' had really been killed. As she approached she took out a rag and gave it to him to wipe off the corners of his mouth and then giving him a smile so gentle he thought that if an angel descended right now it would be her.
Standing beside him and observing, the blue haired lady looked at the figure in front of her with a not so warm or not so cold expression, she looked at his face without it's mask and couldn't help but be drawn to his metallic like grey eyes and his slightly handsome face. She reached into her dress sleeve that to him looked akin to a pocket and pulled out a ring and something that is meant to be a bottle and gave it to him.
Not knowing what they were for Varian didn't dare to take them and it was then that the other lady in the room suddenly got mad and grabbed the bottle shaped object out of the blue haired lady's hand and took out a round brown-ish looking sphere that could be held in her palm before shoving it down his throat. He unconsciously swallowed and an itchy feeling came at the top of his head, no matter how he tried to scratch it never went away and a few seconds later it was gone.
"Can you understand me now?" Asked the blue hair lady with a nonchalant look on her face.
"Tsk, he better understand before I cut his head off right now for wasting such a precious pill" said the other lady angrily. She approached him and grabbed him by his collar and said; "Tell me where you came from and what your purpose is for approaching Saintess Han or it's off with your head!"
"What? How could it be that... and what was that thing you forced me to swallow just now?" said Varian as he looked confused as to why he could suddenly understand what they were saying, they were speaking mandarin for all he knew and he had no knowledge of studying or even understanding it in the slightest.
"Shut up mortal, your life is more worthless than dirt now, so speak up before you get killed" she roared and tightened her grip on his shirt, she was clearly annoyed and wanted the matter to be over with.
Looking closely he could see her with dark brown lower back length hair and an appearance slightly lower than the lady she called a Saintess, she was 179 cm in height with about D-cup breasts, even with this appearance she could single handedly be considered the most beautiful woman on Earth and all that while not even being the most beautiful woman here.
"Aunt Zhu, please don't scare him, he saved me a while ago from that bastard Cai Liang and even sustained injuries in the process. I think the least we could do was help him." She spoke with a calming voice however it didn't take the neutral look from her face making her look emotionless.
She gave a small bow of gratitude and then got to the point while applying a little pressure. "Who sent you?"
Feeling this pressure Varian's wounds began to fester again and it felt as if two trucks stacked together was placed on his back, he gritted his teeth to bear the pain and slowly said: " I don't know what you're talking about, I was just sleeping in my room when I suddenly appeared in this strange place. I don't even know how I got here and to add to that you suddenly came flying out of nowhere while that other person was flying on a sword and for no apparent reason tried to kill me, luckily he was an idiot and fell for my trick and ended up dying"
Hearing this, the lady called Zhu previously looked at him as if weighing on whether what he said was true or false before finally nodding and indicating that he did indeed look confused.
"Did that satisfy you? Now can you please remove that strange power or whatever, I'm dying here." After saying this the pressure dissipated as of it was never there and he could finally breathe properly.
Tap Tap Tap
The old man finally walked over, he was a short, burley, bald old man but despite that the way he carried himself gave the feeling of a king looking down on its subject which made Varian audibly gulp. The old man looked coldly at Varian and said "My name is Liming Long, as of this moment we will be taking you to our sect whether you like it or not."
"I-"
FUUUUSHHHH
A sudden pressure heavier than the last shot out unrestrained causing Varian's mouth corner to bleed a little as he felt like passing out, however he gritted his teeth and shook his head no. He really had no choice but to accept, these people hold power he didn't have and as he doesn't know the current situation it couldn't be helped. He finally calmed down after the pressure withdrew and he had a look in his eyes that indicated that he had made up his mind
[DAMN! I risked my life saving you and this is how I get treated? You couldn't even have wrapped my wounds or something? I decided that I acquire power somehow and be strong enough to never have to go through this again!]
With a goal and his obsession with martial arts, he gathered his resolve and thought it to himself.
A few seconds later Liming Long walked over and grabbed him by the back of his shirt like a cat gripped by its neck and dragged him through the door of the shack, Varian finally realized that they were pretty high up in a mountain and probably the highest he's ever been on all his life. The two ladies both took out swords and as if by magic the started floating parallel to the ground and they stepped on and flew north-east while the old man just jumped with no regard for Varian's safety and flew in the same direction albeit faster than the other two previously. Varian felt something strange protecting him and saw the streams of light that help him last time floating around him, at least at this speed he didn't have to worry about getting hurt now as he was protected.
* * *
About three hours have passed of nonstop flying and they finally arrived at another mountain but this one had a few buildings, he observed the smallest one being as big as a whole college campus while the biggest at least the size of castles. He looked at the few hundreds of stairs that lead up the mountain and the sign plaque which he couldn't read. He arrived at his first destination.
When the group landed they quickly made accomodations for him which was a small shed similar to the one he just left and he received the ring from the blue haired lady called Han previously. He walked in the shed and sat down looking at the ring and wondering how to use it, as he thought about it a few things came falling out, he was surprised but not that much as he had an idea as to what the ring might have been, this just confirmed his thoughts. He rummaged through the stuff and found a blue book which he opened and say it depicting drawings of the human body and a flow possibly by the streams of light he saw.
A small smile appeared on his face. "Practicing this will undoubtedly give me at least power to defend myself"
That's right he was in a world where cultivating was possible and opportunity and dangers came hand in hand, beauties and arrogant young masters would be all around him , he was excited to get to experience this but at the same time two faces flashed in his mind, they were naturally the two girls he met before being dragged here. A touch of regret fell on his face then disappeared as he fully convinced him self that since he was dragged here it meant he could go back to them with the right amount of power. His eyes burned with conviction as he finally fully made up his mind to fully walk the path of cultivation and face the dangers along the way.
