Chereads / The Pretentious Cultivator / Chapter 5 - 5. Visiting An Old Friend II

Chapter 5 - 5. Visiting An Old Friend II

I'm talking with Vanessa. When she asked me about Natsumi. I started telling her about us. 

Ren, " When I came to this world. I didn't know what to do. I don't have food to eat, place to stay. I am a lonely beggar in this world of cultivation. On a summer night, when I am lying on the street and gazing upon the sky. I found a girl running in the middle of night. She was chased by a few people. When she was running, I suddenly pulled into the alley and asked , "why was she being followed?"  She replied, " She ran from home." I asked, " why are you running from your home ?" She replied,         "her parents do not allow her to eat candy at night." I literally laughed hard. She started sulking because I was laughing at her. She said, " You are a bad guy. You are laughing at me. Just leave me alone." I said, "then should I give you back to your family ?" She said, "No, they will scold me.Please , I don't want to go home." Then, I asked, " What is she going to do now ?"  She said, " she wanted to see our city lake." She had never seen our city lake. I was enchanted by her innocence and purity. She was such a spoiled girl. But whenever you see her you can't help but spoil her. Thus, I said, " I will show her the city lake." She said,  "Seriously, you should show me the lake. Thank you so much." I said, " Shall we start moving?" She replied, " Yes, we are going to see the lake." Afterwards we start moving to our destination." 

Vanessa: Then, what happened afterwards.

Ren: Wait… I will tell you.

Ren, " When we reached our destination. She was amazed by the beauty of Lake in the middle of night. She shouted, " This is so beautiful. I can gaze at Lake for hours. Don't you think this is incredible?" I replied, " Yes, you are right. This is so incredible." We sat together at the bank of the river. Then, she asked, " What is your name ?" I said, "My name is Ren." She replied, " I am Natsumi Tanaka. I am the daughter of the head of the merchant. What about your family ? What are you doing on the street late at night ?" I replied, " I don't have anyone in the world. I am a beggar. I don't have anywhere to go." She felt pity on me and said, " Don't say you are alone. I am your friend from now on. You helped me. I will also help you." I said, " But you are a young lady from a prosperous family. Your family will be angry with you." She said, " Nobody will scold me. I am super cute. Everyone loves me so much." When she said that I felt happy. I am not alone. We were talking about each other. Suddenly, my empty belly starts causing a sound. Then, she gave me a rice cake and said, " Ren, this is for you. From now on I will give food." I was moved and started crying. She hugged me. We spent some time together and afterwards she went home back. After that day she started to give me food everyday. We are closer to each other. But destiny has some other plans."

Vanessa: Masterg, why do you always leave at the cliff hanger ? Can't you complete the story in one go ?

Ren: Okay okay, I will complete it. 

Ren, " Afterwards, I was kidnapped by some thugs. So, that they can sell me. When I was in misery. I somehow activated the system. System helped me to escape from the thugs. Then he started my training. He said, " I am not allowed to leave the mountain until I complete my training." And from that day, I didn't meet her."

Vanessa: Quite a sad story. But master, if she was already married or she didn't recognise you ? What would you do ? 

Ren: We will just get back home.

Vanessa : As you wish, master. But…

Ren: Hey! We reached her house. I am so nervous. How will she react ? 

When we reached there, we saw a crowd gathered outside Natsumi's house. We ask some random person. He said, " Today is the engagement of the city lord's daughter." 

Vanessa: What do you think, master ? Could today be Natsumi's engagement?

Ren: There might be a chance. Let's try to get inside the house.

After waiting so much we were able to get inside of the house. While we were searching for her. We get inside the main hall. When we were inside the hall. We saw a girl coming from outside. 

Vanessa: Ren sees someone is coming from the outside?

Ren: Vanessa, she is Natsumi. But why do I look sad? 

Vanessa : Yeah! You are right. She looks quite weak and pale. 

Ren: Something must have happened to her.

When we were talking with each other. Suddenly we heard some people's voices. 

Person 1: Look at the princess. She looks worse than before. 

Person 2: Yeah! You are right. She is so weak. Her skin becomes pale and she looks dull. 

Person 3: I heard that from the day her father died. Her stepmother treated her like a servant. She has to do every household work. Then, she got some food. 

Person 2: Her life is so miserable. 

Person 1: Her stepmother married someone and her son became princess. 

Person 3: Due to the young prince our city is in huge debt. Other party demanded that the princess should marry their son. In that case the debt is paid. Thus, today is a princess engagement. 

Person 2: I felt pity on her. She can't even choose whom she can marry. I heard that her fiance is a pervert and mentally retard. 

Person 1: Please someone save our princess. 

After hearing this, my blood is boiling. I am about to burst. Then,

Vanessa: Master, she has a perfect yin constitution. She will become immortal if she practices dual cultivation with a perfect yang constitution. 

Ren: I am not in the mood for listening. Do you know how to call all four of them here? 

Vanessa: Master…

Ren: Do you have a way ?

Vanessa: No, master. 

When we were talking with each other. Suddenly all present in front of me.

Yuki: Who dares offend our master? 

Itsuki: Master, order us. We will abolish the whole city right now. 

Hikari: Who doesn't want to live anymore ? Who made Ren-sama furious ? 

Ai: We will make their life miserable as hell. They need to think before reincarnation. They desire death but are not able to get it.

I am totally shocked.

Ren: How did you know ? I am here. I need your help. 

Ai: My lord, we all four are connected to your soul. We share each other's emotions. Thus, whenever we feel anything we feel the same thing. 

Hikari: You are so important to us. We can't let someone live who makes you angry. 

Yuki: Don't worry master. You do not need to take a step. We are enough to finish this whole city. 

Itsuki: Just name that person. We do our best to fulfill your wish. 

Ren: Thank you so much. 

Vanessa: Listen everyone, the girl standing in the middle of the hall is someone important for a master. And we need to protect her. We all follow the master's order. Okay..

When Vanessa finished her words , she gave a signal to pretend. Then, I get in front of hall and shouted,

Ren: How are you doing, Natsumi? How could you forget to invite me ? 

When I finished my words, she looked back at me. After seeing me her eyes filled up with tears and she came running towards me. She hugged me. 

Ren: How are you ?

Natsumi: How many years has passed? You never come. I thought you died in some accident. 

Ren: Please stop crying.

Natsumi: You are not a good friend. You didn't miss me. 

Ren: I am so sorry, Natsumi. 

When we were talking with each other. A fat man stands.

A fat man: How dare you touch my fiance in front of me ? Do you know who I am ? I am Gungun of Themis family.

Ren: Listen, I don't fucking care which family you belong. All of you made Natsumi cry. You have to face the consequences. 

When I finished my words. 

Gingun: Soldier, arrest that bastard. 

Yuki: Which bastard has a death wish ?

Hikari: Who has enough guts to touch my master ? 

Gingun: Hey! Pretty ladies, serve me. I will shower all of you in gold. 

Itsuki: Hey! You ugly bastard keep your mouth shut. Otherwise I will tear it. 

Gingun: Such an insolent woman needs a scolding. Guards imprison everyone. 

When the soldiers started moving, they turned into dust.
