"What do you need me for, Sect master?" Rahu asked, and he decided to check the message later.
The wind went still. Moments after, her voice rang out.
"The thing is, it's not only our world that's going to enter it. The demonic and celestial cultivators are eyeing it too"
"!!!"
Rahu blinked, astonished. Just a few hours back, he had learned about their existence, and now this woman was talking about them. But he didn't interrupt her.
Seeing her not continuing, Rahu tilted his head in confusion.
"What do you want me to do, sect master?"
"Kill them all"
"..."
"Sect master, no disrespect, but as you can see, I am just a humble 8th-stage Body Structuring Realm cultivator ", he said, although he didn't mind if it benefited him, still…
"Hmph, brat, who are you kidding? I'm sure you'll at minimum reach the peak of Vital Core Realm cultivation within six months"
Rahu's forehead creased with black lines. This woman!
"Even if I do, the risk is too great. He clarified it immediately, insinuating that he won't work for free.
"Hahaha,"
The sect master laughed out, thinking of how he didn't outright deny this.
"What do you need?"
"...I'll tell you when the need calls" He wanted to ask her to teach him the complete Divine Sword Arts, but decided against it; now wasn't the time.
"Such an arrogant brat. Making me owe you a favour?" The sect master's voice came out in a rather playful tone.
Rahu chuckled, "I don't dare. Sect master, but you know I have wives and children at home to feed"
"Heh, shameless. But worry not, as long as it is within my power, I shall grant it," the voice declared.
"I'm grateful to the sect master, but…why me?" he asked. After all, he was sure there were many other disciples, heck, he was even sure that there were even in the Inner Court who could squish him.
"...There are two reasons; First, it is your potential and mastery in [Sword Aura], you're the only 'disciple' here who has mastered it, and secondly, you have 'her' mark inside you", she calmly entertained him.
"I see. Thank you, sect master. I shall take my leave now," he bowed and walked away.
Soon, a shadowy figure materialised in his place.
"What do you think…Yueshan?" The shadow slowly turned her head and smirked.
…
As soon as he arrived at Vivianne's residence, he quickly checked the prompt.
[DING!]
[QUEST DETECTED!]
[ABSORB 100,000 SOULS]
[REWARD- DIMENSIONAL VEIL]
Rahu gasped, overjoyed!
Not because of the reward but because of the timing, the quest was all perfect. It seemed his system had detected something within the inheritance realm that could make his soul grow stronger!
Suppressing his emotions, he asked, "What is the function of this ability?"
Though based on its name, he could make a few guesses.
[The Host will automatically get the functions and uses of the ability upon unlocking it]
Rahu sighed. Now there were two quests given to him. This reward was outrageous enough, but the [Infinite Comprehension] made his eyes light up with greed, and the corner of his lips curved ever so slightly.
"Such a suspicious smile, what are you plotting, you demon?"
A sweet voice echoed in the room, snapping him out of his ambitions. Turning his head, he saw Vivianne standing there, with her arms crossed beneath her breasts.
"Heh, nothing, just waiting for the night. You'd better not collapse early tonight"
"R-Rascal! Is your head always filled with such…such dirty things??" she rebuked in embarrassment and a bit of fear.
She was damn sure that this beast would definitely ravage her to his heart's content tonight! But despite her thoughts, there was a strange anticipation bubbling inside her.
"Did Karma return?" Rahu switched the topic after teasing her.
"Not yet, but she said she had already collected all the information about the auction. It will begin in 2 days," she said, earning a nod from him.
"What about the Gravium ore?"
"I sold it in Merchant's Crescent for 10 mid-grade crystals per kg!!" she said excitedly.
"Who did you scam?" he suppressed his glee and asked. There's no way the price increased by such a huge margin!
"Not a scam! There was a desperate merchant who wanted it, but that bastard was cunning. He first said six mid-grade crystals thinking I'm some green girl, but after a bit ahem* lesson, I sold him 10kg of ore!" she burst into an evil laughter.
"That's my girl!"
Yes, both of them were shameless.
"But why just 10kg? Did he refuse to buy further?" Rahu asked curiously; he had given her a total of 20kg, but he didn't question her. His curiosity spoke.
"At first, I thought about selling all of it, but after hearing Karma's message, I figured we could sell it in the auction for a better price. Still, I was worried the ore's base price might be higher than what we could afford, so I sold only half."
Rahu nodded. That was a reasonable concern. Messing with unknown market stocks? Well, that spelled trouble.
Seeing his acknowledgment, her smile widened in triumph! She raised her chest higher and her nose elongated—literally.
"Wow, I didn't think you were this capable. I almost thought you were all brawns"
Of course, regardless of her achievements. His teasing was a must, or her nose would poke the heavens!
"Hmph, shut up"
She stuck out her tongue and booed at him.
Rahu just laughed at her antics,"Let's go, we will continue our practice. And yeah, go buy me alcohol. It's been ages since I drank"
"Y-You!? What do you think of me? I am Vivianne Rivera! A core disciple of the Divine Sword Sect and the sole disciple of Yueshan!"
She couldn't believe how shameless this guy was, ordering her left and right like she was some maid!
He didn't even glance at her, standing up lazily as he headed towards the training grounds.
Seeing his antics, her anger intensified further.
Just as he was about to enter the training grounds, he suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, and yeah, invite your master if she was up for a drink with me", he grinned. After all, there's no way he was letting go of that centuries-old hot dame.
