Chereads / Timeless Awakening / Chapter 12 - First Task

Chapter 12 - First Task

"He'll be fine, Master Yu. He was so tired after the fight, I guess." The medicine man said, walking out of the room.

"Xin..." Luoluo cried while holding unto him.

"This is all my fault if I hadn't gone out of control." Hao said, looking away.

"Elder Yang said he'd be fine. Just wait patiently for him." The master of the house said.

"The master of the house, Master Yu, is also the father to Hao and Luoluo."

"Argh...!" Xin shouted while holding his chest.

"XIN!!" Luoluo shouted while tapping his face lightly.

"Just kidding." He said, smiling before sitting up.

"Lin Xin, you're okay." Luoluo cried as he held her close.

"Looks like you were worried about me again. I'm so sorry." He said, patting her on the head.

"Kidding my ass!!" Master Yu shouted before punching him back into a coma.

"Xin! Xin!!" Luoluo shouted.

"Crap, I've done it this time."

"Ah... why did I faint?" Xin asked before sitting up.

*Damn, my head hurts like fuck.* he thought, looking around the room.

"Hmm? Luoluo?" He called.

She knelt beside his bed while sleeping.

*Awwn, she stayed by my side while I slept. No one's ever done that for me. Lin Xin, lucky bastard.*

"NOTICE: 2 DAYS LEFT TO COMPLETE THE FIRST MISSION. IF YOU FAIL, YOU DIE!!"

*Crap!! I totally forgot that!* He thought, jumping from the bed.

"Oh, wait." He said before laying Luoluo on his bed.

"Okay, I bet I won't be disturbed up here." He said, sitting on the roof.

*Let's see... I have just 1000 points. Bleh... what can I buy?*

"Welcome back, Lin Xin."

"Please I need advice on a good pill to buy."

"Look, this section. There are different cultivation elixirs here. I'll advice you to buy the cultivation elixir and the bloom draught. The bloom draught will help immediately but taking it would make you experience lots of pain. The cultivation elixir would make it a little less painful because you can go a step further or two, according to your luck. The mind sharp elixir would help you focus while cultivating."

"All these cool names, but I'm sure they'll be expensive." Xin sighed.

"Well... the bloom draught cost 5000 points, the cultivation 2000 and mind sharp 1000."

"That's a total of 8000 points. Ugh... I have just 1000."

"I'll give you a discount of 50% you'll owe me 5000, what do you say?"

"Whoa! You're really being nice today."

"*Well... he looks quite interesting. It's not like I'm losing anything so I'll just help him now.*"

"HOST HAS PURCHASED THE CULTIVATION ELIXIR, BLOOM DRAUGHT ELIXIR AND MIND SHARP ELIXIR. ADDITIONAL PILLS ADDED TO INVENTORY."

"Lin Xin!!!" Hao shouted.

"Lin Xin, where is he?!" Master Yu asked.

"He wasn't in his room this morning, I only saw Lady Luoluo."

"Don't tell me... did he take advantage of her and run away?!" Hao shouted as Xin jumped down the roof.

"Hey, brother Hao, Master Yu. How's it going?"

"Bastard!!" Hao shouted punching the lights out of Xin.

"Poo!!!" He shouted while spinning.

"O-oh... Xin. You didn't run away."

"Run away, why would I? More importantly, what's the punch for?!!" He asked sobbing.

"Lin Xin!" Luoluo called running out to meet him.

"Luoluo, though you both are engaged you shouldn't be too careless. He might up and leave and you won't be able to get married to someone else!" Master Yu shouted.

"Dad, it's not..."

"Hao!!!"

"Yes dad!"

"They'll have to get married today. Since they've done it."

"Hmm? Done what?" Xin asked.

"Dad! Xin and I did nothing last night." She said, her face turning red.

"How would I believe that? He's a perverted kid who loves women."

"Oh... I really didn't touch your daughter sir!" Xin shouted, suddenly realising what they were talking about.

"See... dad. He didn't even sleep in the room. He left... After waking up." She said, looking away.

*Hmm, how did she know I left? Was she... awake?*

"Lin Xin you bastard!! Is my daughter not attractive enough?!!!" Master Yu shouted while dragging hus collar.

"F-father!!" Xin shouted trying to catch his breath.

"Bastard, you didn't touch my sister. Isn't she beautiful enough?!!" Hao shouted kicking my back.

*JESUS!! What do they want from me?!!*

"Oh, I see. You were trying to cultivate." Hao said.

"Yeah."

"Oh, so pitiful. I'm sorry there's nothing we can do about you. You can't even leave the third stage of the Initiation stage." Master Yu said.

*Hmm?*

"Don't worry about that. Just try to avoid trouble." Hao said looking away.

"No no no, don't think too much about it father, brother. I'm in the accumulation stage now." He said smiling.

"Eh?"

"You can't be serious. It's very obvious you're still in the initiation stage."

"I'm serious, I broke through today. But I don't want people finding that out yet."

"Lin Xin! Are you serious?" The old man asked.

"Yes."

"Well then, let's go check this out. In the garden. No one will be there."

"So... wait will I be doing?" He asked.

"If you can make me leave this circle, then I'll believe you." Hao said.

"You really think too little of me, Brother Hao."

"Haha, I just don't want you feeling defeated."

"Well this hurt me more than any defeat."

"Okay, enough chit-chatting start." Master Yu said.

"Ha!!!" Xin shouted.

"EIGHT TRIGRAMS PALM STRIKE!!"

*Huh?! Lin Xin, how'd he learn that?!*

"NOTICE, YOU'VE COMPLETED THE FIRST TASK. REWARD 5000 POINTS. EIGHT TRIGRAMS PALM STRIKE AND TAI CHI SWORD PLAY LEARNT. ELIXIRS GOTTEN: ESSENCE OF QI ×2, ELIXIR OF GROWTH ×2 AND VITALIS × 2."
