Chapter 239 - 239. The man and child in fight, or not?

As the long line of people slowly approached Save heaven city the people of Grounding Fairy Sect officially waited for them with smiles. They opened different tables with questionnaires and only pregnant females were completely provided inside the city with safety, healing and food.

As Taro and few other people went to inspect the houses, they were completely flabbergasted by the sight and came out to tell everyone. A big crowd of people stood there silently and listened to his words.

''Every house has two apartments as they call that. Each of those apartments has two rooms and a kitchenette. In the middle is something like a bathhouse and lavatory. And each house has gardens. It seems a few houses are already filled. By the way. This place seems to take in only partners that are promised or single women. Temporarily male partners are not permitted inside. Most males will sleep outside where we will be given camp.'' As Taro finished few men looked at the women and sighed.

One of them scratched his head and pointed at four girls by his side. ''What if one has four women and the only one is pregnant?''

Jason sighed and stepped on his chair. ''Men that have more than one partner are not considered as permanent partners. In that case, only the women will be permitted in town and he will have to sleep outside. By the way, the city accepts pregnant women, but do not push them to stay or make them stay inside. They can o whatever they want. Only the problem is with men. Not any men can enter premises.''

Taro nodded happily. ''Actually, I spoke to my wife. We will build that tower from now on anyway. She will come to visit me doing the day time and ta night she will go back to safety so I don't worry too much. I hope our women would consider it as well that way. It is really nice place to sleep and relax.''

People started talking between each other and calmly accepted. Even one of the four women that were pregnant was sent inside to check the appointed house and came back with a huge smile on her face. ''They have huge bathrooms. The two rooms and kitchenette are quite comfortable and there is even one set of clean clothes inside. And there is only one rule. We have to have clean rooms at all times. So or we clean it or someone will come to help us, but much later when we can't anymore. Of course, we have to watch over each other and help each other in times. Honey, you will be able to be with me last month before I give birth so you could alarm those that will help me with delivering the baby. It is so amazing.''

The rules for women are simple. No man can sleepover until last trimester. There will be helping women from nearby villages that applied to help. But they are not servants, just help in real need. If any pregnant women start acting out, she will be kicked out of the townhouse and live in the nearby village under normal care.

Of course, in these conditions, this town is perfect for bearing children and taking care of babies. Cynthia already started training many women that are interested to help her with deliveries. And most women from their village volunteered as well. They will take shifts and after giving birth their husbands are to take over the responsibility and those that had none will be given normal treatment until the end.

At this moment only six pregnant women lived in the city. So it was easy to care about them. But later when babies are bigger they will have to help with the care of other women as well. Its give and take. From outside they will be supported and protected buy from inside they have to do something as well.

The six women chose to take houses near each other so they wouldn't feel lonely over the night. Two even choose the same doppler house and at first, they plan to live even in the same apartment until later on. 

Listening to their report Kendra just nodded as she walked around the village and smiled at the sight in front fo her. ''It is good they started coming. I am sure we will have more of them coming but that place will never be completely overfilled. Too many sects are too far away to take risks coming over only to live in an unknown environment. I think Chief Taro actually wouldn't have come as well if they finished their task somehow. Jason, I will go tomorrow to Save Heaven City with you all. It is time to see what plans they have and what is actually their task?''

Suddenly a man appeared behind her and motioned to Jason with his eyes to leave. Kendra sighed. ''You came?''

He chuckled as he saw Jason almost running away. ''Am I that scary? I just want to be a bit around you, I didn't plan to scare him that much.'' 

''Didn't you ask him to leave?'' She waled to the grass stalks and patted them lightly. 

He was stunned. ''Since when do you have eyes on your back?'' He looked at the back of her head curiously. Is there some secret I didn't know about grounding fairies?

''Idiot. I could see you in the reflection of his eyes. Literally I was talking to him and looking at his face. Sometimes I am not sure are you really smart or are you pretending?'' She turned around and pursed her lips to a playful smile. But when she saw his face darkening she gave up. ''You are really dumb, not knowing when I am joking and when I really mean it.''

She turned around to go back to houses as she suddenly appeared in front of her. Unfortunately, she couldn't stop her motion and directly smacked into his chest. The pain of the crash made her eyes go wet and she almost cursed. Like a huge mountain, he stood there and suddenly became red like a cooked lobster.

''Moron.'' She held her small nose and stared at him with anger. ''I was not ready to be hit by such big boulder. Are you trying to kill me or do you have some problem with me?''

He just coughed lightly and waved his finger. The pain eased and even redness on top of her nose vanished but the anger inside her suddenly flared up. ''You think I can't heal myself? I don't need your help!''

He just stood there and held suddenly her head with both hands. That completely stunned her. He got slowly closer and suddenly moved her head hear and there looking if she has more injuries. ''Anywhere else hurt? I am sorry I came to fast but I wanted to talk to you about something. I didn't expect you would directly crash into me. Don't you use your own protection shield?''

She blinked at him and closed her eyes as she tried to calm her rising fury. ''I do not have shield here as its safest place in this world. Don't forget I am here human, not cultivator. Even the smallest impact like this can even knock me out. Luckily I was not walking to fast or you would have now half-dead Kendra.''

His hands suddenly slightly shook but he just dropped them and pretended like nothing happening and putting his hands behind his back. ''I didn't forget. Even as a cultivator you can die. Here you might have some powers, but don't be too reckless, please. I...'' He wanted to say more, but it was not time yet. He can't talk to her seriously while she is like this. Impossible.

Looking at his expression change many times in just a few moments Kendra feels satisfied. He finally started showing his real emotions in front of her. That means he is comfortable now, isn't he? 

She went to the nearby pavilion and sat down. From there she could see a huge field filled with red and gray grass. Since it started growing they already started preparing for material use. They found as well one more plant that was gray. But it was not as good as redone. So they planned to sell textile only from gray cotton. People then could try to paint it as they wish or leave it as it is. As it was completely light gray it could be used as many things. 

About red plants. They had less of it but they choose to use it only for themselves and make uniforms out the textile that will be used only by their own people. Like that people will know about their sect even better. 

Taskmaster looked at her deep eyes and absent mind and coughed to get her attention. ''Kendra, there is a man called Claro. I met him when I was just a young man. Do you know about the rule in our realm? The children will be given outside people to be raised? I lived in the  same realm as Claro and grew up with him. I know him now for a very very long time. He had a sister that was a powerful cultivator...''

He could see her looking calmly at him and continued. ''Her name was Alca. One day there was a situation. Dangerous creatures attacked the worlds and started devouring it, including people, plants, wold itself. Those are called Eaters. To save the world of her ancestors she chose to use her own bead of power and destroy the Eaters in a huge fire. But, he found out shortly that she reincarnated and is probably here, in this world. The problem is, how will he find her? Claro is a good man, Kendra. I can't directly help him as it is against world rule. But I can ask you to do that. Would you please help him find his sister?''

She stared at him. ''Who is she to you?''
