Ten days.

It turned out, we barely had ten days before Kartpa Valley could send a formation expert to the Kingdom of Zaim.

“They are asking you to return, Madam,” I said to Aisnam, acting like I received a message rather than spying on the conversation of the two Kartpa Valley d...

As I watched Aisnam practice her palm techniques, I had a large smile on my face. It had been three days since her arrival, and she had already brought the eighth Palm Technique to Perfection, and trying to push toward Minor Immersion.

More importantly, with every technique she learned, th...

“The food was delicious,” I congratulated Astrid. It was not entirely true. However, considering the reason, I chose not to mention it.

Lillian wasn’t as considerate. “Just slightly overcooked,” she commented with a big smile. “Were you doing something to distract you?” Astri...

“Hey, girls. The food delivery is here,” I called from a distance. Lillian just waved smugly, while Astrid flinched. Then, she relaxed, no doubt thinking the distance was enough that I didn’t hear Astrid listening to Lillian’s stories about her mana-draining assistance.

 “Wo...

After the show she had watched with an intense focus, I wasn’t able to talk with Astrid. At some point, she sat in a concealed corner, and acted like she was meditating to avoid talking to me. I knew that she wasn’t meditating as the mana around her wasn’t showing any turbulence, but she wa...

I woke up abruptly, with a blaring phone ringing. Yet, despite that, I was happy waking up. It took more than that to ruin the impact of waking up in the arms of a sexy blonde that was still filled with my seed.

Emily answered the call. “Where are you? You’re late,” a sharp voice sho...

“Fifteen hundred meter race in Kazakhstan. My contacts are saying that the favorite has some health issues he kept hidden, so we’re betting on the second biggest favorite.”

“The food,” I said as I extracted myself from the hug a while later. “It’ll get cold if you don’t eat it immediately.”

“You’re right,” she said as she sat on the floor even as I served her the food. “How about you?” she asked.

“Don’t worry, I already ate wh...

I couldn’t help but tighten the hold on my dagger even as I looked at the unconscious man in front of me, feeling conflicted about what to do. I wasn’t feeling merciful, as the glee he showed while he planned to kill me, just because of my disrespect of resisting his attack, would have destro...

Once I activated the flying boat, I jumped on it immediately and commanded it to fly, expecting the other cultivators to watch helplessly as I got away. After all, damaged as it was, it would require a lot of effort to bring it down.

Unfortunately, before the boat could even pick up speed,...

“You’re evil,” I said once Lillian dragged me to the bubbling spring.

She chuckled. “Is this the thanks I get for helping you,” she answered even as she pulled her shirt up. “Maybe I shouldn’t bother. I’m sure you can find a better way to deal with your mana buildup. Maybe ...

The retreat from the border had been a smooth affair. It might not have been the case if the guarding legion alerted to our presence — which was certainly a possibility since Astrid’s enemies were now a part of it — but with my trick with the river able to convince them, we were able to ret...

Wild Dragon of Rome 37

The patrol was boring, with no notable events. In other words, the best kind of patrol, particularly since we had already achieved our mission.

However, when I returned, I was met with a surprise. Lillian and Astrid, sitting side by side, gossiping like idle maids as they giggled while Ast...

There was no working around the fact that I needed money. A humongous pile of it. Not just for my own purchases — though they were vital — but also for Daria.

She was clearly above attacking me for money, if she wasn’t, she would have been living in luxury. I wouldn’t miss the chan...

Accidental Villainy 75

As much as I wanted to have a celebration after I sent Daria away after revealing my knowledge about her identity in the safest way possible, that was not exactly an option. Not when I revealed that impulsively, with little preparation for the future.

Not that I was having second thoughts. ...

Immortal Freeloader 108

When Aisnam arrived at Spring Palace, I was ready to meet her, but I was wearing my apothecary disguise. “Your Highness, you’re lucky. The higher-ups decided to support you,” I said even as I gestured to her. “Follow me, please.”

She didn’t look convinced, but considering the s...

When I returned to the capital, I stayed outside, observing as Aisnam shuffled the defense. At the same time, I modified the formations I had built, making sure that they would stay hidden from the approaching Foundation Establishment cultivators that were getting closer and closer, as well as th...

Immortal Freeloader 106

When I returned to the capital, I moved to Spring Palace, and quickly penned a letter from her ‘allies’ explaining the latest changes in the region. I wanted to have a talk with Aisnam, to understand the political ramifications of the latest changes, so that I would know exactly what could be...

Wild Dragon of Rome 36

“Welcome to our temporary camp,” I said an hour later, after taking another complicated route. It wasn’t as complicated as I would have taken if I wasn’t planning to abandon the camp immediately, but still enough to waste quite a bit of time.

Lillian was still in the cave, meditati...

I didn’t say anything for a moment as I stood at the riverbank, watching the raging river, appreciating its majesty as it roared, reassessing the danger.

I had already known that the river was dangerous. It was hardly a secret that a fast-flowing, mana-rich river with a lot of third-orde...

Once the main fighting force left, following the injured wolf, I approached the meadow even faster, though still making sure to stay concealed. Just because the remaining opposition looked weak didn’t mean I wanted to neglect an ambush.

She floated in front of me like a blue specter of death, hard to read. Hard, but not impossible. “Let me tell you how’s this going to go,” she started, her voice even more threatening with her power giving it a weird echo. “You’re going to give me every recording you...

“Y-you’re going to give me the records,” she whispered even as she was pulled up to her feet. 

“Of course. Let me help you to the office while my beautiful bouncer puts everything back in order,” I said, gesturing for her to clean the mess before reopening the bar.

“So, that was one of the more interesting first interviews I had,” I said with a chuckle even as I sat next to Amy, enjoying her confused her expression. She clearly didn’t appreciate me sitting next to her, but even as she spat her makeshift gag — her roommate’s underwear — she didn�...

I watched as the other cultivators retreated with fear on their faces. I understood the reason for it, as the pressure from two Golden Core cultivators was enough to physically change the landscape even as they floated in the sky.

I didn’t retreat, staying safely behind the safety of the...
