" Did your money, luxury, and needs save your life?" Praveen asked, walking towards the guards without waiting for a reply.
Sakina, who heard Praveen's words, became dazed and her body began to tremble.
"Praveen, I was wrong... Please forgive me," she stammered, shouting with all her strength.
"You should mind your own business and not involve yourself in our town lord's affairs," said the leader of the guards sternly.
He knew that Praveen was strong and that no one in this place could match him, except for the town lord.
Thinking about how Ronin stood in front of him like a mountain and made the demon beast run away with just his words, Praveen felt his blood pumping through his body with excitement.
"I will involve myself in everything, no matter whose business it is," Praveen declared, disappearing from his original spot and appearing behind the guard's leader.
Slash...
" You... You ....." Before he could finish his sentence, blood gushed out of the leader's throat, his eyes losing their vigor. His lifeless body slowly fell forward, blood drenching the ground.
"He... he... he's a monster! Everyone, run!" shouted one of the guards. They snapped back to their senses and ran away with fearful expressions.
Their leader had been killed with a single sword slash, and they knew their own deaths were now inevitable. The only word echoing in their minds was "run."
" No one is going to escape from this place," Praveen said in a low voice, but his words reached the ears of all the guards.
Praveen vanished from his original spot and reappeared in front of one of the guards. After a few swift sword slashes, all the guards fell to the ground with despair on their faces.
Praveen took a dagger and removed the guard's chest armor. He began writing a warning for the town's lord on the guard's back with his dagger. "Even though she may be a whore to the core, she is still the girl I loved in the past. Just because I have no feelings for her now doesn't mean I will forget my past. You better stop interfering in my affairs. If I start meddling in your matters, the countdown to your death begins from that day." Blood started to drip from the words on the guard's back.
Praveen disappeared from the spot and reappeared in front of Sakina. Sakina, being a cultivator, had slightly recovered. When Praveen appeared in front of her, she dragged her body and reached out to hold his legs, wailing.
She then grabbed a sharp stone that was lying beside her and said, "I deserve it. I'm happy to see you and ask for your forgiveness before I die."
Being a cultivator as well, Sakina was faster than normal people, but Praveen was even faster. He reached out his hand to stop her from slicing her throat with the stone. She hadn't given up yet and moved her head, but Praveen reached out to her forehead. "I will never let you die under my watch," Praveen said in a calm yet melancholic voice.
Sakina's body shook violently, and this time blood poured from her eyes instead of tears. She was experiencing an extreme mental breakdown, with her emotions in complete turmoil.
He took the sharp stone from her hands and threw it aside. Then, he reached out his hand to hold her in his arms and they disappeared from their original location.
They reappeared on the outskirts of town and made their way towards the forest. Once inside the forest, he searched for hours until he found a lake.
Before, Sakina had been stripped naked and tied to a large wooden pole with a rope in front of the town lord's estate.
He used his knowledge of healing herbs to gather some along the way. Since there was no need to remove any of her clothing, he cleansed all her wounds in the lake and extracted liquid from the herbs. He then applied the extracted liquid to her wounds and used the herbs to secure them.
Then, he placed her on a makeshift wooden bed that he had created from materials found nearby. He sat on the ground and began to meditate.
After a few hours, Sakina slowly regained her senses. "Mm... mm..." she murmured. Praveen opened his eyes and saw Sakina sitting on the bed, looking at him with affectionate eyes.
However, he continued with his cultivation and ignored her gaze. Suddenly, he felt a soft sensation on his lips and chest. His dragon stirred, rising up and roaring towards the sky.
Praveen maintained his composure and frowned, using some force to push her back. "What are you doing? Go back and continue resting. Once you recover, you can go your way and I'll go mine," he said sternly.
"Praveen, I only have two options: dying or living with you. I have chosen to live with you. If you don't like my choice and want me to die, then I will end my life right here in front of you," Sakina said with determination.
Hearing her words, all the memories flashed before Praveen's eyes - the time they spent together, the words they exchanged. His heart rate increased as he remembered their past interactions, including their last one. He tightened his fist, disappeared, and reappeared in front of her. In a lightning-fast motion, he pulled her into his embrace.
"You're mine. If you live, you will live with me. If you die, you will die with me," Praveen declared, planting a kiss on her lips. They tightly hugged each other and became lost in their passionate kiss.
Praveen moved his hand to hold her legs and lifted her into the air. His desire for her was evident as his dragon which was emitting heat waves pierced through her flower.
She let out a painful shriek. Surprised, Praveen parted with her lips and asked, "Are you a virgin?"
"Yes, I am. I only let him touch my anus. My feelings for you prevented me from letting him touch my vagina," Sakina admitted, feeling embarrassed.
"I knew it. You may have acted while interacting with me in the past, but the time we spent together will never fade away. It will forever remain in our hearts," Praveen said, tears streaming down his face.
"Hmm," Sakina murmured, bringing her face close to his and using her cheeks to wipe away his tears as she moved her hips up and down.
