“Salutations,” I greeted her even with mock seriousness, but didn’t stop my refining even a second, once again showing off my skills in the process. Most apothecaries wouldn’t dare to refine high-grade medicine in anything but perfect conditions.

“Well, that was something,” I muttered once as I left Pearyin behind in the cave, though I didn’t depart immediately. First, I had spent quite a bit of time removing any evidence of Qi around the entrance, though not as much as I spent making sure she was distracted and mellow rather than p...

“You don’t need to fear anything, sweetie. Everything is going perfectly,” I said as I hugged her. She responded, her arms tight around me, radiating her stress. She was not handling her new identity as a cultivator well.
Luckily, I had the skills to distract her. I hugged her a...

“Umm, sir,” she whispered as she looked at the dust in her hand. “What had just happened?”
“Nothing much. It’s more or less how it’s supposed to react,” I said, my voice wooden. I was angry, furious even, but I did my best to hide it. I had a feeling Pearyin would take...

“I hope you’re not afraid of a bit of speed,” I said just before I pressed the gas. The bike jumped, and her arms wrapped around my waist. She gripped my waist tight enough to convey panic, but her pulse disagreed. She was calmer than she had been when I had been dragging her earlier. ...

Engineering that encounter proved easier than I expected. She was in a cafe on the second floor of a cafe, one that overlooked the road, which was not too far away from an intersection with a traffic light. I timed my approach to arrive there while it was red light, which gave me an excuse to rai...

As the bell continued to ring, I looked upstairs, trying to decide what to do. Once activated, I had no idea how to stop Dragon Heart from emitting mana. Every other time, it stopped once the drop of blood evaporated.
The drop of blood was already absorbed into the center, with no way of re...

My first week as a lowly sailor in a pirate ship was … surprisingly pleasant. Who would have expected?
Admittedly, the other sailors didn’t share that opinion, acting like the world had ended just because they were forced to work all day.
Weird, because living in the p...

“Finally, Londinium,” I muttered as I walked toward the port, carrying nothing but the silver and the small box that held the dragon heart, disguised as a regular pleb. Then, I took a deep breath, and my nose twisted. “And, the smelliest…”

“You got to be kidding me,” I muttered. I shouldn’t have said anything, as it only made Pearyin look at me with worry, tears not too far away. “It’s not anything to worry about, sweetie. I just realized your cultivation had increased more than I expected in my absence. You must have wor...

When Aisnam — and her puppet — returned, I was in the kitchen, cooking a small feast for her. I cooked mostly the local cuisine, a soup, a nice salad, some stir-fried meat; a nice spread, but not overbearing. However, I added a nice creme brûlée to the mix, even though caramelizing the crus...

None of my skills had improved, but my storage of Qi Strands barely cleared a thousand, which was far...

Leaving the compound was a challenge. One that was bigger than entering, even with all servants busy with the feast. I could probably use the tunnel, but that would mean I had to run away alone. Instead, I decided to go for one of the servant entrances, and picked one of the carts.

It was already midnight. As I lay next to Aisnam, hugging her, I once again analyzed my reward, which was higher than before. Her earlier breakthrough was certainly helpful.
