1115 Wang Wei & Qingshan
A beauty in white and pink robes entered the room. Her hair was tied in a long ponytail and she wore a sexy cheongsam with a long slit by the side. "If only benefactor had arrived 3,000 years earlier, the Lifan Dynasty would have still been here." The woman said with a soft smile. Wang Wei got up and bowed, giving the sect master her seat.
"Please accept this sect master Qingshan's humble greetings, benefactor." The woman did a slight bow with her hands clasped together, and sat down on the bamboo stool. Lith gave her a curt nod. "You sent Wang Wei to fetch me? How did you know about my existence?"
Qingshan giggled softly and heartily. "Benefactor, you mean a lot more to us than you think. If it was possible, I would've personally met you on the first day of your arrival on this planet and fulfilled any wish you had. It is my deepest regret to not be able to do this."
Lith raised an eyebrow at this. "What's with so much subservience? You don't even know me."
The sect master nodded her head. "We indeed do not, benefactor. But our ancient records... they've strictly told us that there would come a day when a man with a unique soul mark would arrive on this planet, bringing great prosperity to everyone present. We were also told to completely submit to the benefactor and be under your shadows." Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
"What..."
What was happening? How did Lith suddenly have a sect in an unknown world submit to him? He hasn't even done anything or knew about people from other worlds!
Sect master Qingshan looked up at Lith and smiled softly. "I know the benefactor might not be able to understand everything at once. We were told that this would happen. However, for now, please rest, benefactor. When you're well rested, do let us know. The supreme ancestors are really eager to meet you, but are asked to stay put as you are not in a good condition."
"Supreme ancestors?"
Lith took a sip of tea and laid back. "Elaborate."
Wang Wei looked down at the teacup and continued, "Benefactor possesses the soul mark our ancestors had mentioned. We are allowed to give in to the benefactor's desires."
'Soul mark...' Lith felt amused. He had doubts about the place he was in, and still did, but it was starting to lessen as he got to know more about the sect. "Since you're going to do anything I ask you..." Lith looked at the girl with a wolf-like gaze, making her tremble. "How about you tell me why everything's so pink."
The girl's trembling came to an abrupt stop and she looked at Lith with a stupendous look. "What? Disappointed that I'm not having sex with you?" Lith asked bluntly, making her turn red. He shook his head and said leisurely, "I'm a married man. I don't sleep with any random person."
Wang Wei cleared her throat at this point and said, "About the pinkish nature of the surroundings, it has to do with..."
Things were normal before the Lifan Dynasty entered the mountain ranges. After their settlement reached this place, things changed. As the years progressed, change occurred in the dynasty and instead of growing and expanding, the population began shrinking. This phenomenon was directly linked to the surroundings turning pink. "...I do not know what the connection is, but it's a well known connection that everyone is aware of."
Lith rubbed his chin and looked at Wang Wei in interest. Fantasy worlds had various different types of stories and mysteries. There were no shortages of such things and adventuring was only scratching the surface of it. "Your sect master will know about it, perhaps?" "Yes. Sect master should have an idea." Wang Wei answered swiftly. "The old supreme ancestors will know even better then?" Wang Wei nodded. "They contain immense wisdom. Nobody has seen them before, but one can communicate with them through idol worship."
Lith smiled at this. "Aren't you one lucky one? You're going to see them today."
"What?" Wang Wei was surprised.
"What?" Lith said. "Do you think I'll kick you out when those old ladies arrive? Nope. I have no interest in having deep discussions with old grannies."
Wang Wei shivered and felt a chill down her spine. Truly... this man was truly the man of legends. To disrespect the ancestors like that... "I wish you well..." Wang Wei could only muster up enough courage to say this. Her and Lith chatted a bit more, until finally, three cloaked figures entered the room and looked in Lith's direction.
