A few days passed, and Blake immersed himself in the arrays and formations to better understand his powers. He could infuse a formation with time, and the item within the formation would rapidly age; another would make it rapidly turn younger until it would disappear into nothingness. Blake was satisfied with these results and tried to create a space formation that could teleport him a few feet from his original position. Sister Song watched him as he would easily pop from one place to the next.“What do you think?” Blake asked one day when he popped beside Sister Song, who was polishing her Spirit Sword.“I think you are trying to give me a heart attack with you popping so close.” Sister Song replied as she was startled by him.“Sorry, but I think I can shorten our trip by a day or two,” Blake said confidently.“How?” Sister Song asked.Blake then explained that he could create a teleportation formation that didn’t need a second formation for the link. All he had to do was visualize
Blake awoke with a start, not knowing why he had a bad feeling in his heart. Shaking the feeling away, he rose before dawn today and stroked the embers to cause the fire to erupt again so he could prepare breakfast. They were close to Empire City; with Blake’s teleporting, they shaved a few days from their trip, and Blake was anxious about locating Claire. Preparing the meal, the intense aromas entered Sister Song’s tent, waking her from her slumber; during their time together, Sister Song had been cultivating, and last night, she broke through into Martial Master early stage with Blake’s help as they held hands dual-cultivating. She had also begun to utilize her swordsmanship better with the help of her Spirit Sword.When she exited the tent, she witnessed Blake over the fire preparing their meal and sighed inwardly, knowing they were close to finding his wife, and he would eventually leave to return home.“Come before it gets cold,” Blake said, hearing her exit the tent. Sister Son
At this accusation, Sister Song stood up, ready with her sword. What was this nonsense? How could she blatantly announce that Brother Blake was to be her husband?‘A simple meal just became complicated.’ Blake thought, preparing another dish for Xuanlu.“Cough, sorry to disappoint, but I already have a wife,” Blake said as he handed her another plate and motioned Sister Song to calm down.“Of course you do. I would not expect anything less of the exceptional man I choose.” Xuanlu said and ate with the same ravenous appetite.“No offense, but we just met, and I don’t know you.” Blake continued to turn her down.“But yet you are kind enough to feed a stranger and bested me with your cooking skills. So whoever beats me is bound to become my husband and the heir of the Chai family of the Southern Provenance. BURP!” Xuanlu said as she placed her small hand over her mouth as the burp escaped. “Pardon.”Blake could only laugh over this situation and shake his head in disbelief.“Okay, how ab
Blake was stunned as the woman on top of him was still crying, not caring that the people around them were observing this scene unfolding before them. Blake patted the woman that was on him and tried to soothe her to get off of him.“Mam, please, if you will, can we get up so we can properly introduce ourselves?” Blake said, still patting her shoulder to get her to realize their situation. But before they could rise, a cry came from the crowd.“Unhand her, you beast.” Another woman called out, rushing to their side.Blake looked up at the woman who was fuming over them. She had long black hair fair complexion, and green eyes. She quickly took the woman off of Blake, and he looked better at the clinging woman. She was the spitting image of the upset woman, only her bosom was a bit smaller.“I’m sorry, but I’m innocent; as you can see, she was the one holding onto me,” Blake explained as he dusted himself off the road’s dust. “There are witnesses to justify my actions.”“Sister, he was
The Second Prince Xiang Ma was pacing back and forth in his room. Who let the rumor out that his betrothed was a Spirit Sprite? He had dispatched the doctor before he left the Sect, and no one else would have had the nerve to go against him. His first thought was Hana, but she hadn’t left her room, and he was told that she was in isolated cultivation to raise her level.While the Second Prince Xiang Ma was mulling over the events, the First Prince Xiang Liu was calmly sitting and drinking his wine when a man kneeled before him.“So that servant had a secret. Is the information you received reliable?” Xiang Liu asked the man kneeling.“My lord, it is from a very reliable source. The woman you chose for the Second Prince came from the Upper World and is a Spirit Sprite. She was taken about a week ago and was hidden within the Flowing Sword Sect by the daughter of the Head Master, Levin Hana.” The man was none other than Hayes Daniel.Xiang Liu took a sip of his wine from his cup and cal
“I’ll tell. The Second Prince Xiang Ma has fancied her and will make her his wife tomorrow.” Daniel said not able to take the killing intent from Blake.“As I figured, Claire is the only Spirit Sprite in Upper World. Tell me what Hana did to her to go along with this farce.” Blake asked, releasing him from his killing intent.“She dusted her with memory loss sleep dust. It was by accident but beneficial to us.” Daniel said, forgetting who he was talking to under his disappointment. “Well, to Hana, at least, I couldn’t even dual-cultivate with her to bring my rank up like Hana.”“Would you like a whole body or paste?” Blake asked, sending his killing intent again to Daniel when Sister Song pulled on his sleeve.Blake retracted his killing intent and looked at her.“Yes?” Blake asked.“Brother, the memory loss dust has no antidote. She has lost all her memories and will not remember you or her past life.” Sister Song explained to Blake with concern.“Okay, I understand, but one problem
“Can you imagine? Saying an intruder getting inside Flowing Sword Sect, much less being able to steal the bride. What is this a fantasy story?” Elsie said and looked at the book Camila was reading. “Like that one you read to us with the prince swooping in and saving the girl from the evil villain taking his true love and trying to marry her.”“Now, let’s get you ready for tomorrow’s big day with the Prince. Not like an evil villain will come and take you away from your Prince.” Helenor said and walked into the large puddle of water on the floor.“My lady, what has happened here? Why is water all over the floor?” Helenor asked with a look of bewilderment.“Well, I wouldn’t say I’m an evil villain, but the Prince swooping in and saving the damsel in distress.” Blake suddenly appeared beside Claire.“AH! INTRUDER!” Elsie called out.“No use. I set up a soundproof barrier around the room, and you can scream until your lungs give out, and no one will hear you.” To their surprise, Blake ann
In the end, the Head Master agreed, and Blake opened the door that Hana was beating on to reenter. Stumbling inside, she got her foothold and composed herself.“Congratulations on your upcoming wedding,” Blake announced as she reentered the room.“Wedding? What wedding? Father?” Hana had a foreboding feeling this was not going to be good.Seeing the door open, Daniel began to inch his way out, but when he reached the exit, he couldn’t move.“Daniel, don’t think I have forgotten about you. What to do, what to do, with you. You are the little bird that told everyone about Claire being a Spirit Sprite; am I wrong?” Blake asked, walking to him.“How could I? I would never have done such a thing, maybe Hana?” Daniel began to make excuses.“Daniel, how could you?” Hana called out.“There were only three people who knew Claire’s secret. Head Master, he would not betray the Second Prince, Hana, but she is too cunning, and then there is you. Someone who got a rather large payout, am I right?”
