Chapter 216 - 216. Private Housing. (1/2)
After leaving the I picked up a nice lunch along the way at a nearby restaurant always making sure to keep a lookout for random young masters. They kind of act like shitty Pokémon battles when your eating anywhere and just pop out of the woodwork.
Luckily I was able to avoid them with notice me not charms on the table after I ordered. But I swear I saw some looking my way just waiting to ambush me outside or something.
It was a pretty average meal for a cultivator world. In the stories they are always like oh the meat is amazing and it simple melts in your mouth and is the most delicious thing you've ever tasted. Yeah this is just a regular steak it may taste a little good but I've had better.
After I finish paying I make my way outside and start heading down the road but then they are suddenly there. A group of young masters standing in front of me. Internally I was screaming. One of their butlers approached me and slowly opened his mouth.
”Excuse me can you give us directions to the annual young masters convention we seem to have become lost.” he asks rubbing the back of his head with an embarrassed laugh.
The sound of that convention is absolutely horrifying I simply point them towards the place I was eating at. After receiving a healthy tip for my help, I bolt as fast as I can down the road to get away from this terrifying place.
Who knew young masters had an annual meeting?!?! That's absolutely horrifying. I notice a sign I hadn't seen before showing the time and place of the meeting and underneath that sign i see one more. Next week they are hosting the annual overprotective father's son and dad dance. Scary.
I've never ran so fast in my life. As soon as I was out of sight I pop into my immortal realm to finally give it a look. I end up face to face with jasmine. I'm caught by surprise as she grabs me by the throat and lifts me off the ground quicker than I can even see. Even if I wanted to dodge I'm not fast enough.
”Who are you and where am i?” She asks giving me a deadly glare.
”Is that any way to repay the person who saved your life from God Slaying poison?” I choke out.
She keeps holding me by my throat. ”Only the sky poison pearl can save someone from the god slaying poison. So you must be the owner of it. What's to stop me from killing you and just taking it.” She asks releasing killing intent in my direction.
”Maybe the fact your only a spirit and I'm still extracting the poison from you. So you can try if you like but remember your bound to me right now.” She knows I'm telling the truth but she was only trying to intimidate me. After all she's only a little girl who is all alone in the world now and in a strange place. She went through a tragic experience and is just trying to be brave and tough.
