82 Chapter 81.

(POV little Han)

Before my eyes the ground crimson was dyed crimson by my blood. If you asked me what the cause of this was, perhaps you could say it could be attributed to the people in front of me.

"Darling are you okay?!"

I calmly told Aoi, who held tightly onto my arm, "don't worry big sister Aoi, I'm fine."

"You jerks, how could you do such a thing to my darling?"

The people's faces in front of us darkened like they were about to follow up with a response.

Some may be confused as to what was occuring right now. To understand the deeper meaning behind this scene would require a bit of a flashback to the time when I parted from venerable master after we were divided among the different wards. Quite a bit has occurred during this time which led to the situation I was presently in.

…

"Little Han, don't worry about it. Even if your so called venerable master isn't with you, I'm still here."

"I guess so."

"You look pretty depressed for someone who has a beauty at your beck and call."

"Sorry, it's just that if venerable master was around, I'm sure I'd explosively raise my cultivation."

"Don't you have the perfect cultivation partner here with you?"

"What?"

"Are you that quick to forget how we increased our cultivation? It was only a few days ago darling."

Scary. Please don't remind me. I don't want to be food, but she does have a point. What if those sort of activities can increase my cultivation speed? When she saw the internal struggle in my eyes she had a wide smile. She licked her lips and narrowed her eyes suggestively.

"Get a room you damn perverts."

The snide remark came from the bulky looking men who were in the same ward as us.

"Little girl, why don't you toss this loser to the side and play with us a bit?"

"Scram! You little flies couldn't match my darling even in one hundred years."

"Oh? Big words for such a tiny brat like this."

"How about we have a match to see who the true top dog is little boy. The winner gets the woman for the night. Or are you going to cower away and hide behind this slut?"

Just as I was about to step forward and accept his challenge, Aoi held her hand out to block me off and said, "slut?! Hah?! You picking a fight?!"

"Hahaha! Guys, this little slut seems rearing to go for a round already."

I suddenly felt a tinge of pity towards this clown. Was he about to be eaten by this scary big sister? Is something wrong with your head? You're only a 5th realm mortal. She's way stronger than you.

"Kid, are you looking down on me?"

"Eh? No. I just thought there was something wrong with your head. I'm very sorry."

When he heard my words veins bulged on his forehead as he lunged out to take a shot at me with his right hand. Looking at it I was shocked. Were mortals always this slow?

"Haha, are you so scared you can't move little boy?"

I was about to answer him when Aoi took a large step forward directly in front of me and hit the joint of the man's outstretched arm to deflect his blow with her left arm while she simultaneously threw a punch with her right.

I watched as the man's face rippled and deformed in slow motion before he flew freely like a bird through the air and landed on top of the table.

Oh, that was pretty impressive, even if she's far stronger in terms of cultivation. I could tell she used much less strength than the man did while casually averting his blow. I should take notes. No one has ever taught me martial arts before. I've only ever focused on mindlessly raising my cultivation and the theory behind it. Willpower was always my go to to overcome any hardships I faced.

Venerable master even scolded me one time and told me such a method was foolish and unreliable and that I should learn to use my head more. He even told me not to be hard headed like I was when I clashed against Elder Hitu. He said I should learn to bend my back a bit and flatter him instead. Then when he lets his guard down, hit him with a good kick where it hurts. Be crafty not foolish was his motto.

I found it hard to accept such an underhanded approach, but I figured it had some truth to it. I should really use my head, persistence and diligence will only get me so far. If I don't think with my head, I'll face more roadblocks than others.

When I came to my senses I realized everybody in the hall was strangely enough… not looking in our direction. When I glanced towards venerable master's direction, he sat calmly at his table in the distance. He seemed to be deep in thought while a little girl was standing on top of the table in front of him. For some reason, the crowd didn't pay any attention to the commotion at our table and were instead lowering their heads. It appeared they were afraid of something.

There were several people whispering under their breath and secretly pointing towards the little girl rudely standing in front of venerable master.

It was at this moment the little girl joyfully said something that shocked me out of my mind, "you, become my attendant!"

I was left slack jawed by her overly rude proposal towards venerable master.

As expected of venerable master, he was clearly not pleased as he solemnly asked back "little girl, you dare?"

However her next actions left me fearing what kind of horrible things would befall this poor unsuspecting soul. She sat down on his lap and simply said, "I dare, I dare. What are you going to do to this bad child who won't listen to reason?"

What I truly did not expect was a simple snort and displeased face. Is that all venerable master?

"Hey, hey? Mister attendant, what's your name?"

"Just call me big brother San."

What?! No freaking way! Hey, can I call you big brother San again like when I first met you? Are you really okay with that? I felt like I was going to faint from shock.

Why does she get special treatment? Is venerable master's weakness children? That has to be it. Damn, I wish I was younger so I could take advantage of it and effortlessly take him as my master.

Oh well, move on. Don't dwell on it too much me. Only consoling myself like this could I eventually recover. Without my notice, everyone had already been split up among the four wards and at some point I had been dragged away by Aoi to a prison cell. We were now in a cell with two male roommates.

There were two sets of bunk beds, four beds available in total. It seems Aoi had forcefully claimed the two beds on top. At first I didn't catch on as to why she had taken the two on top, but when night came and everyone was asleep I soon understood. For the next week I experienced utter hell.

Every single night, she would crawl into my bed and toy with me till the break of dawn. She didn't even care in the slightest about the two males below us that were forced to listen to her endless moans in the midst of night.

One time, one of the males got up in the middle of the night and climbed the ladder to the top bunk bed to file a complaint. Unfortunately for him, he was only greeted by her foot that slammed into his face. He was sent to the world of dreams when his head hit the metal railing of the bunk bed on the other side of the room.

After that, there was not a single peep from the two below us. This first week in this prison I didn't have even an ounce of strength. I would just drag my exhausted body out of bed, grab a meal and then familiarize myself with the environment before I headed back to the cell to try and get a bit of rest.

However, the moment I got back, she would just jump on top of me for another round. The only good thing about everything was, my cultivation was advancing by leaps and bounds. By the end of the first week, I was already a 6th realm semi transcendent, while Aoi was a 10th realm mortal. It appeared Aoi was correct and our cultivation could really be raised like this. It was unknown whether the pill from that night was still the cause of this though.

Finally, after a week had passed, I met with venerable master out of desperation and sought out his guidance. I explained my problem to him, but he just slapped me and scolded me for boasting. When I thought about it further, I hadn't seen his wife around lately. Did they get into a fight? How insensitive of me to bring up such troubles.

In the end, venerable master still took pity on me and tossed a few pills over to me. He said they would help relieve some of my fatigue. His strange smile left me suspicious, but I decided to just trust in his words.

When night came I sucked it up and downed all the pills in one go afraid one would not be enough for the monster that torments me every night. That was my last memory though. I only came to my senses five days later on the verge of death. My memories of the prior nights was a blur, but at some point my cultivation rose to that of a 7th realm semi transcendent. On the other hand, the beast, who although clearly exhausted, looked to be in euphoria. She had peacefully cuddled up in my embrace and was now a 3rd realm semi transcendent.

Just what kind of crazy things happened for her to grow this much? Was it thanks to all those pills? I only realized now how scary venerable master could be if he so desired. Those pills were truly terrifying.

When I eventually recovered a bit of my strength I struggled to get off the bed. Big sister Aoi who had been in my embrace woke up while I was weakly getting off the bed to sneak away from her and asked, "where are you going now?"

To beg venerable master for salvation. Please save me from this cycle of hell.

When she saw my lacking response, she got dressed and followed behind me. We passed by through the corridors and made our way from the Draragontherun ward towards the Toddlepant ward. On the way there, I realized there were quite a few people from Dragontherun that locked their sights onto the two of us. There were several that secretly followed behind us as well.

I didn't want any trouble, I just wanted to quickly find venerable master to seek enlightenment on women. How to sate big sister Aoi's hunger was something my life might really depend on. She was definitely going to eat me alive at this rate.

When I reached Venerable masters room and peaked in, it appeared he was not around. Realizing this I could only anxiously wait for his return.

While waiting, those who secretly followed us from the Dragontherun ward eventually lost their patience and actually came out and confronted me.

I felt the hostility in their gazes, their bloodlust told me they wanted to eat me alive. I was of course completely befuddled though. What did I ever do to enrage these people? That was when all my questions were answered as a certain figure stepped out from the crowd. If I remembered correctly, he had been among the cultivators from the Celestial Empire that attacked my adoptive father. He also seemed to be on somewhat bad terms with venerable master.

"Damn it you brat! Every single night it's the same shit, can the two of you keep it down so the rest of the wards can sleep in peace?! Don't think I haven't recognized you."

"You mean you actually recognize I'm from the Good Fortune Sect?"

"Eh? What? You are? Aren't you the stupid couple that was in the room above me in that love hotel that didn't know when to stop? For the love of god, are you two just monkeys that only know how to hump each other's legs at night?"

It was probably due to my internal frustration towards the whole situation, but I ended up coughing up a large mouthful of blood on the ground in my overly exhausted state. You think I enjoy this hellish method of cultivation where I live in fear of being eaten?

"You jerks, how could you do such a thing to my darling?"

Thus, we are finally back to the present. Yes, the whole reason for me being surrounded like this with my own blood dying the ground, it was all Aoi's fault! She's too damn wild at night!

Even people in the ward beside us can hear her. I felt so embarrassed I didn't even know what to say. I thought this was related to matters concerning my sect when I first saw him appear from the crowd, but it was just because the noise we made at night made it impossible for others to get a good nights rest.

"You brat, how are you going to compensate me for the hours of sleep I've lost thanks to your overly indulgent nightlife?"

Seeing as the situation was our fault I meekly suggested "uh, I have a pill that can make you vigorous even without sleep for several days on end. Would that be a suitable compensation?"

"Like hell it would! Does it look like I have a woman with me?"

"Pfft. Virgin."

When Aoi muttered that under her breath, the man's expression turned as dark as night. It looked like he was about to make a move, but before he did, he suddenly took a deep breath in and out and said, "a little 3rd realm semi transcendent girl like you wants to look down on me? A man who is at the peak of the semi transcendent realm?"

"Pfft. Sorry, I was looking down on your virginity not your realm. If there was any misunderstanding I apologize Mister Virgin."

"Slut."

"Cherry boy."

"Whore."

"Greenhorn."

"Cheap prostitute."

"Limp dick."

"B*tch."

"Thank you for the compliments."

It appeared the man had just about reached the limits of what his patience could take from Aoi's rude retorts. He extended his right hand outwards towards Aoi's neck like he were about to choke her to death. Just as I was about to block his hand, a rift in space opened up and someone wearing a strange contraption suddenly appeared between the two of them.

(POV Sanji)

What the hell? Where am I?

One moment I was minding my own business, playing with the jewel and tossing it up and down satisfied by my findings while on my way back from the my washroom break when I accidentally dropped it. The next thing I knew, a spatial rift engulfed me when it hit the ground and I was directly in front of Anything is Possible who was trying to strangle me.

Sensing my poor little life was in danger, I reflexively pushed him away with no thought to how much strength I was using. As I did so, I managed to notice the surprised confused expression on his face while he flew through the air and hit a wall behind him. Don't look at me, I'm just as surprised and confused as you buddy. Was my ghost wife and daughter haunting you in your dreams or something?

Really though, what's with this situation anyways? When I looked behind me, I saw little Han and Aoi. Little Han had a somewhat pale face and there was blood on the ground in front of him while Aoi, who was in front of him, was directly behind me.

Aoi looked surprised to see me standing in front of her. I was somewhat starting to put the pieces of the puzzle together. I am a master detective after all.

It was as plain as day what had happened. The men surrounding us were clearly lusting after Aoi and grew jealous of little Han. They must have been surrounded and isolated in the Dragontherun ward and as a last resort they came to my ward to seek aid. On the way here, after a desperate struggle, little Han was clearly exhausted from his fight and suffered severe internal injuries, hence the blood on the ground in front of him.

The rift in space must have been my wife's doing. She was allowing me to make my grand appearance as the venerable master at the last moment to save the day. She truly knows how my mind works.

I start off by putting on airs the moment I fully understood the situation. After my first cursory glance towards Anything is Possible, I ignored him and looked up towards the ceiling with a distant gaze and casually said, "scram."

Haaaah. I'm so cool, why am I so cool? How can one man be this suave? Surely that stupid Aoi will see me in a new light as well and join the ranks of my worshipers along with little Han and Chu Yue.

"You!"

"Anything is Possible, on accounts of us being acquainted, I will let you off here. The two behind me are under my protection."

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the coolest person of them all? Of course it's me, I don't need to ask some nonexistent mirror for something stupid like that. Alas, it truly was such a shame for the world that only one of me existed. I could only feel pity towards all those around me. Really, how can someone as cool as me exist in this world? I could only remorse to myself about how lonely it was to be at the top.

I obviously wouldn't let the smugness show on my face, so with a swish of my robe I emotionlessly turned around and entered my room. Lost in the moment, I had completely forgotten about the jewel I dropped earlier due to my amazing performance.

(POV little Han)

When I realized the one wearing the weird contraption was venerable master, I couldn't hide my confusion. The contraption he was wearing looked really… lame. If it wasn't for that stupid thing, I'm sure he would have appeared to be the most dashing person in the world right now. If I were a woman, even I might swoon if not for that stupid contraption. Well, reclusive masters are known to be eccentrics after all. He probably cares not for style or appearance. He really is such a great role model it almost brings me to tears.

I'm really not brought to tears from holding back my laughter due to the toilet paper dragging at his feet. I'm sure there is some deep profound reason behind it.

When I "realized" there was a profound reason behind it, I noticed a small spherical jewel near where venerable master appeared. Could it be venerable master was indirectly drawing my eyes to the ground so I would notice that jewel? It looked ordinary from afar, but it felt like there was something more to it when I examined it closer.

While everybody had their eyes on venerable master, I sneakily picked it up and placed it inside the inner pocket of my robe. If this was what I thought it could be, then venerable master was clearly playing favourites and bending the rules in this trial by fire. He was probably trying to arrange it so it appeared to be by mere chance it landed in my hands.

He very likely didn't want to just outright hand it over to me. He must have been moved by how I sacrificed my body for the sake of raising my strength. Yes, that must be it, it was to secretly make up for my suffering.

My confidence in him increased further when I thought about how casually he sent the man he called Anything is Possible flying.

(POV Megumi)

I did it!

Ha!

Oops.

Ehem. Ehem.

Excuse me, I meant... I had nothing to do with anything. I'm not interfering or anything. If husband dropped the jewel and randomly fell into a rift that just happened to coincidentally form beneath him which led him to little Han, what does that have to do with me? It's just the heavens that led the jewel to little Han. My cheapskate of a husband doesn't need that thing anyways.
