Chapter 803 - Ungrateful one

Chapter 803

(Unedited)

…

Grim-looking shadows are looming above Im Ao and Im Jae, but no matter how he looks at it, those shadows seem to be a part of their being. He was a bit surprised but he knew according to what he has seen inside the small world in his dimension, this is what you call a balance in all things.

Shadows and Shadow Beings might be the enemy of the light, but they could also be considered as the balance of everything. Those who stay in the light would love the light, and those who stay in the darkness would love the darkness, each according to their own sphere and to their own dominion.

As he carefully watches the looming shadows behind those two, Shin Jiao could not help but heave a deep sigh. He was planning to get rid of those shadows, but now he realized that it is already a part of their soul. Hence he would just help those two get more of their innate power rather than suppress them.

As if sensing that Shin Jiao is already awake, Im Jae opens her eyes and looks at Shin Jiao. When their eyes met, she showed a faint blush on her pretty face.

"Have… Have you finished cultivating,… Master Shin?" she asked with a hint of shyness.

Shin Jiao just nodded his head.

"Sleep some more… this place is different and it seems that you are unable to use the energy in the air to strengthen your body. So resting is the only way for you to regain your strength." Shin Jiao said as he turns to the side and takes out a small pill cauldron.

He then began filling the cauldron with herbs, but as soon as he takes out the dried herbs, he would see the efficacy of the herb dwindling by 60% and only leaving its natural properties without the enhancement brought by the universe's energy.

However, Shin Jiao was not bothered with it, this is because he is able to combine the mana in the air as substitute energy to enhance the pill that he is about to create.

"I need to create, healing pills, regeneration pills, and anti-toxin pills… those are some of the basic pills that I needed in this place, just in case of emergency." He muttered as he is thinking of the two with him.

With regard to the woman Nariz Gumal, he did not want to bother with her. He saved her due to his sudden bout of kindness. But he would not stick his neck for her as he did not like her attitude from before. He would not trust the woman as of now.

It was already morning when he finished making the pills and storing them in jade vials.

When he turns around, he saw Im Ao and Im Jae cuddling together while looking at him. Shin Jiao realized that the two have been awake for some time and was just watching his action.

"Big brother, you're done! Can we leave now? I'm hungry…" Im Ao innocently said which made his sister feel a bit helpless.

"Haha… Alright, here you can eat this…" Shin Jiao takes out some fruits inside his dimension.

But as soon as the fruit appears, it slowly withered and became dried, and this made Shin Jiao frown a bit. He knew that the energy would really affect the properties of things from outside this place, but the food seems to be affected too much.

He carefully checked the dried fruit in his hand and noticed that the energy inside of it vanished. The only thing that's left is its meager natural essence. Shin Jiao could not help but try experimenting at this time. From the small world inside his dimension, he willed a strand of green energy and made it enter the withered fruit.

As soon as the green essence energy enters the withered fruit, it mysteriously began to return to its former form and showed a healthy fruit.

"So this would also work…" Shin Jiao muttered.

He then slowly takes a bite of the fruit and delighted in its freshness and juiciness.

He then did the same thing as he takes two more fruits out of his dimension after injecting the strand of green energy in them.

The two ate their fill of the fruits and feel satiated.

After a simple breakfast, Shin Jiao takes out some gears inside his dimension and gave them to the two.

"This visor would help you a lot in this place. It is a detector, a map, a scanner, and a training kit. You two have already experienced it, right. Now you should learn how to use it in the actual field…" he explained.

"I will give this to you just in case… And now these are exoskeletons, this will help you augment your strength making you stronger and faster, and here are some weapons, since it is dangerous for you to handle guns, blades and shields would suffice for now..."

After a couple of explanations, the two began putting on the gears that Shin Jiao gave them and after a couple of tests, the two got the hang of it somehow. Meanwhile, Shin Jiao checked the condition of Nariz Gumal and saw that she is already out of danger.

Shin Jiao realized that her clothing is in tatters and she is almost n.a.k.e.d. Without a choice, he takes out a couple of women's clothes inside his dimension and asked Im Jae to change Nariz Gumal's tattered clothing.

"Big Brother, do we really have to help her? She left us back there when we were in trouble…" Im Ao asked innocently while pouting.

"Well… I just wanted to…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

"Hmm… Do you fancy her? My sister is not as pretty as that woman, but she is far better than her in many ways…" Im Ao said with his nose in the air.

The cute little boy made Shin Jiao smile. Well, although Nariz Gumal abandoned them and that he didn't need to help her at this time, yet Shin Jiao knew that without that dark aura inside her body, he could not get such a wonderful harvest inside his small world.

Although the aura is dark, after he was able to refine it, Shin Jiao was able to divide that dark thing into two, death and life. Now inside his small world, the cycle of life and death is already spread. The overpopulation of those small creatures inside of it is now in balance.

He would not need to worry about things getting out of hand as those creatures that are starting to grow inside the small world now has the cycle of life and death which made him feel a bit at ease.

Not long later, Im Jae walks back to the two and said.

"Master… She… she is awake…" Im Jae said with a slight frown.

Sensing the dissatisfaction on Im Jae's expression, Shin Jiao patted her head.

"What's wrong?"

"Umm… That… Master… are you… are you going to take… take her as your concubine?" Im Jae asked while biting her lower lip.

Shin Jiao almost choked as he coughs subconsciously. How could Im Jae think that way? He did not know what the woman is thinking but judging from her reaction something seems to have happened.

As Shin Jaio walks out from the corner, he saw Nariz Gumal looking at him. No, in fact, she is glaring at him.

He did not know what he did, but he did not care whether this woman is angry or not.

"How are you feeling?" Shin Jiao squatted down and grabs her wrist without any squabble.

This made Nariz Gumal wanted to fight back, but how could she? In this world, Shin Jiao is far stronger than she is.

"Let me go!" she shouted as she tried her best to fight back.

"I'm only checking your pulse and your condition. The most you can do is feel grateful to us for saving you…" Shin Jiao said with a frown.

The woman continues to glare at Shin Jiao but did not say anything.

After a while, he put her hand down and smiled.

"Your pulse feels fine, and your body has already recovered about 50% from your wounds. Here, take this healing pill if you wanted to make it out of here. We are leaving this place and will go to the nearest village settlement…" Shin Jiao said as he takes out a pill bottle and handed her one green pill.

Nariz Gumal showed suspicion in her eyes while looking at Shin Jiao.

"Stupid woman… If I wanted to harm you, I would not cure you…" he said as he stood up and patted the invisible dust on his clothes.

He then takes out two fruits and puts them beside the bed.

"Eat this, we will leave… Good luck to you…" Shin Jiao said as he turns around and was about to leave.

"Wait… I… I'm sorry. Can… can you please… help me? I… I just wanted to find someone in this place." Nariz Gumal said as she subconsciously touches her belly.

But as soon as her hand landed on her stomach, she feels something weird. Though she could not use any of her powers, deep in her mind she knew that something had happened and that the thing inside of her is already… gone.
