Chapter 108 - The Infinity Quests (1/2)

Throwing Su Wangji back on the ground, next to Heimu Qingya, Mesa just turned around and started walking back to his room. Along the way, Su Hengshan and his group split in two to let Mesa through. Stopping next to Su Hengshan, Mesa spoke a few words with him.

”Alright Master Su Hengshan, you no longer have to worry about a coup or the Blackwood Stronghold. I am gonna go back to bed and get some sleep. You know what not to do.” Said Mesa calmly. Su Hengshan, having completely understood the message, fearfully nodded yes and promised that nobody would disturb him.

”But, what about Heimu Qingya? Aren't you going to do anything with him?” Asked Su Hengshan hesitantly.

”Leave him. I want him to remember what happened tonight so he'll know that he shouldn't have any ideas about coming after you again. I'll be gone in a few days anyways, so if he comes back with reinforcements to exact his vengeance on me. Just tell him that I am gone.” Said Mesa to Su Hengshan without turning around.

Coming back to his room, he saw Xia Qingyue was still busy refining the energy from the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus and Su Ling'er was asleep next to her. Looking at Xia Qingyue, it was apparent that she was a good ways done refining the energy.

Deciding to just lie down and catch some sleep, Mesa took off his coat and hung it up before he lied down on the bed and closed his eyes.

”So, I take it you took care of those people.” Said Xia Qingyue with her eyes still closed.

”Yeah, all I had to do was use the Gate of Babylon and it was over in an instant. But if you don't mind, I am gonna get some sleep. After everything we've been through today, I am in desperate need for some sleep.” Said Mesa as he turned over in his bed and drifted off into dreamland not much later.

The next morning. When Mesa woke up, he looked to next bed over and saw Su Ling'er still sleeping on it, but there was no Xia Qingyue. Getting out of bed, Mesa went to the kitchen to make some breakfast for himself, Xia Qingyue and Su Ling'er. Coming back to the room with a tray that had few plates of bacon and egg sandwiches, a few croissants with some flavored jellies, a pitcher of orange juice with a few cups and a cup of coffee for himself on it. Opening the door, he saw Xia Qingyue sitting there on the bed, patiently waiting for Mesa to return.

”Oh, you're back. I woke up and you were gone. Where did you go?” Asked Mesa as he placed their breakfast on the table.

”I woke up early and you two were still asleep. So I went out for a walk and saw the craters you made yesterday and the blood stains that were still left. According to the talks that I heard from these people, you have made quite the show yesterday and now everyone here fears you more than anything else.” Said Xia Qingyue calmly as she sat down at the table and starting eating her breakfast. Pouring some orange juice in a glass for her, Xia Qingyue drank it with a satisfied look on her face.

”I can also see that you've completely refined that energy from the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus. I had expected you to be at least level 3 Sky Profound Realm. But to think you have made it all the way to level 3 Emperor Profound Realm. That is quite a surprise.” Said Mesa as he looked at Xia Qingyue and measured her eventual strength level after she was done refining the energy within the Emperor Awakening Heart Lotus.

”Yes, I was quite surprised as well. To think I would end up at such a high level.” Said Xia Qingyue.

And so, after waking up Su Ling'er for breakfast, all three of them were enjoying the peace and quiet and the delicious taste of their breakfast. In between taking sips of his coffee, Mesa was hounded by Su Ling'er about questions what kind of food it was and why it was so delicious.

After they've had their breakfast, all three of them went for a walk through the woods where Su Ling'er liked to go and play. Whilst they were walking through the forests, they were being followed and the one following them was none other than Su Haoran.

'That bastard! First he has such a beautiful woman following him around and then he ruins my chances at overthrowing that coward of a father mine and becoming Clan Master myself! I have to find something… anything that I can use against this monster! Maybe, just maybe, I can find something to have him work for me!' Thought Su Haoran desperation.

Back at the group, Mesa and the two girls were just having a stroll through the woods and generally having a nice time. But slowly and without letting Su Ling'er notice her, Xia Qingyue approached Mesa and whispered in his ear: ”Mesa, we're being followed.”

”I know. I have already dispatched a clone to take care of it.” Whispered Mesa back and they went back to their stroll in the woods.

Meanwhile, Su Haoran was still following them and hiding behind a tree. When all of a sudden, an arm grew out of the tree, grabbed Su Haoran by the throat and pushed him up against the tree.

Su Hoaran, who was obviously freaking out, was desperately trying to fight against the arm. Moments later, the rest of Mesa's body started to come out of the tree, much to Su Haoran's horror

”What the f.u.c.k are you?! H-h-how… What?! Just…What?! You are standing right there!” Screeched out Su Haoran, while desperately fighting against clone Mesa's hold on his throat and pointing at where Mesa was walking with Xia Qingyue and Su Ling'er.

”How is not important. What is important is why you are following us? Are you still sad that your carefully planned coup d'état attempt failed because of me and now you're trying to find something you can use against me.” Said Mesa causing Su Haoran to go wide-eyed for a moment.

”W-w-what are you talking about?! How dare you accuse me of such heinous crimes.” Angrily yelled out Su Haoran.

”Oh god, I am so not in the mood for this right now.” Mumbled Mesa as he looked Su Haoran in the eyes and put him in a genjutsu.

TSUKUYOMI

Waking up, Su Haoran found himself lying on a table with a large light above him, shining down on him. But what was worse, was that he couldn't move his body at all. His eyes were open and he could see, hear and feel everything, but he couldn't move a muscle. And just then, Mesa appears above him, looking down on him and more Mesa's appear around the table looking down on him.

”Well, well, well. Welcome to the operation. Today, I wanna teach you something. Did you know that when doctors perform surgery on people, they use anesthesia on them to put them under, so that they can perform the surgery without the patient feeling any pain or remembering it. The function of an anesthesia is to paralyze the body, turn off consciousness and to stop the formation of memories.” Said Mesa to Su Haoran, who wanted to say something but unable to do so.
