Chapter 214 - 214.The conections that are made

The first Market Day happened a few days before Kendra came back. Trough winter time they made many small things like baskets, wooden pots, clay pots, pans and spoons. But when they got their powers back Kendra had the idea to make glass out sand. After many tries, they made glass cups and presented them with dried food and teas on the Market. Others brought fresh meat, feathers, some brought wild vegetables and many other things. Actually the exchange itself ended quite quickly as everyone took what they needed the most.

Not all villages had something to trade so just a few of them joined and exchanged their produce. the most sought over were pots and knives from Warrior guild. Luckily they made a lot so it was easy for them to proved all of them some of their produce.

This time Cynthia, Hary, Kimi, and LiuLi came to exchange as well. The girls made jokes with Kimi as they could see Malek's fiery glances that he sent now and then at their directions. On the end, he came and exchanged a beautifully made set of knives with a set of glass cups and strange red material he exchanged for two big cauldrons. 

He stared at the material while Kimi seriously stared at him. ''This material can be found only in this world. I have no idea can we take it out, with us. It's hard to produce this much, so please make something reasonable. Like shirt or pants.'' 

He nodded as he understood her words. ''For now, this will be secret. I understood.''

She gave him a wink and walked away quickly back to her friends that took her by hand and poked her red cheeks. ''Oooooooo. Kiiiiiimiiiiiii! So cuteeeeeeeeee. Look these rosy cheeks.''

Haru knew her long time at this is the first time she could see her shiny eyes and changed expression. Yep. This world is perfect for this ice-cold lady to lose her heart. But that man... She glanced at his tall and muscular body and then at soft Kimi's body and chuckled. Why not? Everything has its own reason. It was their destiny. He has a strong body she has a soft one. He surely will protect her well from all problems so she can cultivate without worries. And their child will be smart and cute at the same time. He seems like a caring man. Such people are the best as fathers.

She narrowed her eyes and pinched Kimi's behind while looking at his reaction and yes, his eyes became angry as he stared at her.  She winked him and with silent mouthing, she motioned to him. ''I did it for you... HEEEHEHHEHE.''

For a moment he was stunned but when he turned his sight again the girls already escaped into one of the houses where a bunch of laughter and cheering could be heard. A small smile appeared on his face and he chuckled. ''It seems the whole sect is naughty. That old man really gathered all kinds of childish creatures. Will, he let her be mine?'' He murmured...

They had now three years to get close but still wanted to get her permission before proceeding into their own matter deeper. Hmmm. But if he comes out and the Sect master of hers says no, then they will be separated. But if she becomes his woman in this world, he can't do anything, right?

He smiled as he went out making his people step back in fear. Whenever he had a smile on his face someone was on for it. Too bad they didn't know that this time his smile meant something good, not bad.

It was so bothersome to remember villages by names so they choose to ask the village heads to make the names for villages. After much consideration, their village was meant to be called Seclusion and the town Sanctuary. It was meant to be a safe place. The villages made even simpler names. Fishing village, metal village, tree village, mountain village, sea village and so on.

Kendra listened to Isaa's story and smiled. Then she remembered the others by the sea. ''They work with one of the villages to gain salt?''

Isaa nodded. ''Strange thing happened actually on market day. A sect that was sent far away came to exchange leftover things with what they found in their place. Strange metals were all transferred to the metal village, I got one small piece from them as well in exchange for one glass cup. Not only that. They found a way to use birds and rabbits as towing animals. they plan to do trade between further away villages that can't come to Sanctuary anytime soon.''

Kendra nodded. ''Of course, there are ways to use animals to travel. This kind of way is as old as humans. If they found a way to use those animals it is a good thing. I know your little heart hurt for the animals but to tell you the truth, it is not a bad thing. With their help, we can have a safe handle between our sects and peaceful lifestyle. What about our garden and produce?''

She walked out to see Alice holding her heart while the saint animal ate young salad leaves. Kendra chuckled. ''Elder, I know those leaves seem to be quite tasty, but please do not eat them. They are a matter of our survival. There is so much young grass on the other side of the meadow. Please.''

He rose his head and then looked around. ''Sorry. It looked so nice that I completely lost my propriety. Please forgive me.''

Kendra went to him and started combing his fur with a comb she made out of a piece of wood. ''Elder, sorry. When it grows bigger you will understand why we take care good of it. Waiting is the essence. In the time between we will start sharing our powers with you. From tonight on I will continue teaching you how to make self-protection shield. Only that way you can be safe. By the way, there is as it seems some sect that can train animals quickly. Ever heard of it?''

Siu nodded. ''Of course. That is normal in any world. There are those that are born with an affinity to animals. they do not even have to be cultivators to be able to train the animal. Those are actually protectors of animal life. I think you could sell them your dried mushrooms or tell them about the vegetarian recipes. They would love to learn as many as they can.''

Kendra gave him a deep stare and then smiled. ''They are vegetarians. that is enough for me to make good friends with them.''

She combed his fur using the comb and her powers. Kendra actually regained her healing powers but didn't want anyone to know that. On the other side, Siu had no intention to spill her secret out. Her healing powers made him not only heal powers inside again, somehow he felt his own core stabilizing and gettings stronger. It seems she is trying to make him strong enough to protect himself.

But from what?

He stared at her back as she sat under stary skies. Isaa came to her and sat down while the small cloud floated in front of them with a rabbit on top of it. They chuckled.

No matter where they went that lazy animal loved sitting on the cloud and watching them work or talk. He would randomly appear and just float while he ate leaves or grass or slept. 

Isaa found it cute. She patted bunnies head and smiled. ''I think these two are new best friends. What will you do with it when we leave?''

Kendra stared at the rabbit and then at calmly grazing saint animal. ''Siu will teach it about the world, powers and all he needs to know. From my side, I can push him in a certain direction. But how will he develop, I have no idea. Of course, I will leave the cloud in this world. It can come to the outside world later one when he becomes a real saint animal and gains his own world. I like rabbits. They are so cute.''

Isaa smiled and hugged her. ''But you miss Lilly and Fluffy?''

''Of course, they are our friends and family members.'' Kendra found the two small animals quite cute, but always treated them more than just pets. She took them as family.

Isaa sighed as she looked up to the firmament and saw two moons rising. ''I miss mom and dad...''

Kendra hugged her. ''I miss them as well. Very much. But at least we have each other. Right?''

''Yes. At least we are together. But Kendra, will he be able to heal the souls of those cultivators on the other continent?'' She was worried about his safety.

''I do not know. They will stay twenty more years longer than we do. Who knows what kind of punishment will the Taskmaster makes them do. That man has some strange ways of punishing people.'' She touched her two ears and sighed. At least these ears are cute...
