102 Bai Wu (2/2)

Rei only smiled as he saw how Bai Wu was curious about everything since she is in human form. Chuckling slightly, Rei helped her gather things of interest for Bai Wu. From fruits to flowers, Rei and Bai Wu spent their time slowly as they walked out of the forest.

”You think they still remember me from last time?” Rei asked Bai Wu.

She shook her head.

”It's been a few thousand years since it happened. I doubt they would remember such a thing.” She said to which Rei only nodded. Entering the village once more, Rei and Bai Wu can see that it was much more developed than the last time they had visited the town. Asking around, they looked for a carriage to Suotou city.

”Excuse me, are we able to tag along to Suotou city. I can help protect the carriage.” Rei called out to a merchant.

”Are you even strong enough to protect my carriage?” The merchant said with a questioning look.

”If it helps, you can just tell me how to get to Suotou city instead.” Rei said as he doesn't want to deal with humans too much as they will easily betray as long as a more powerful being wills it.

”Hmm, the route is confusing for first timers. All you need to do is prove to me you can protect the carriage and I'll take you there for free how's that?” The merchant asked as he wanted a free body guard using this excuse of he has another meat shield if anything goes wrong.

Rei frowned inwardly as he could see the evil thoughts radiate from the Merchant thanks to the additional benefits that his Samsara eyes gave him.

”Sure, with just my physical strength I should be able to defeat a spirit elder(rank 31-40) easily.” Rei said.

”Is that so, then you'll guard the carriage. Is this young lady guarding with you?” The merchant asked.

”No if it is ok, can she rest in the carriage, you don't need to pay me at all as long as she can rest.” Rei suggested.

'Hmm, I suppose it's fine it she just sits with the cargo. And maybe half way there we can.....' The merchant thought is evil thoughts.

”Sure we're leaving in a few minutes.” The merchant said as he turned away.

”Lei, that guy seem's to be pretty nice.” Bai Wu said as she looked at Rei. Rei only shook his head.

”Bai Wu, human's are fickle people. They can change their mind with a snap of a finger. I would suggest that you always be careful when dealing with people.” Rei said as Bai Wu only nodded while she sat on the carriage and watched Rei walk with the carriage. There had been several beasts that approached the carriage on the journey but the other body guards dealt with them before Rei could be bothered to move.

'Hehehe, seems like he was all talk. If he could really beat a spirit elder he would have killed the beats to show off.' The merchant thought while he made a small sign to the other body guards. This sign didn't leave Rei's sight as he only sighed in disappointment for human nature.

'They won't change no matter the world. While there maybe exceptions, how could be easy to truly meet a nice person.' Rei thought as he shook his head. Walking closer to Bai Wu, Rei kept an eye out for the other guards. Soon, night fell as they stopped and made a campfire.

”Young lad! Why don't you and that lass join us for food.” A smiling guard said as he waved to Rei and Bai Wu.

”Lei they said we can join for food.” Bai Wu said looking at Rei.

”Let's take a look then.” Rei said as he held out his hand for Bai Wu to help herself down from the carriage. Bai Wu was about to hold it when she used it as a launch pad and made a 10 point landing instead. Rei only chuckled as he followed her.

”Here try this out.” A guard said handing her a some meat.

”Thank you.” Bai Wu said politly as she was about to eat. Rei stopped her before she could.

”Bai Wu, don't trust everything blindly. Especially food from strangers.” Rei said as his face was cold.

”You can stop acting now. Don't think I don't know about what you did to the food.” Rei said throwing the food back confusing Bai Wu.

”Kekeke, if you know already then why did you follow. You're truly strong or too idiotic to think you can take us all on.” The head guard said with a grin as he drew his weapon spirit with the other guards.

”Haaaa, Bai Wu this is what I mean by you should be careful of humans.” Rei said as he shook his head.

Bai Wu only had an angry expression on her face as she saw how the people she though was good being hostile instead.

”With these guys they don't need a second chance.” Rei said as he summoned his War God domain.” A heavy suppression force attack the group of guards as they kneeled heavily causing loud cracks from their knees showing that it was broken.

”Normally, if a person says they can beat a spirit elder with pure physical strength alone, they're bragging. But unlucky for you, I wasn't.” Rei said as he punched the ground causing it to crack and form a deep ravine.

”AAAHHHHRRRRRGGGGG!!!!” They all shouted as they fell into the ravine life and death unknown. Even if they were alive they won't live for long.

Releasing the domain, Rei took a map he saw in the carriage and some gold in the bag.

”Come on Bai Wu, we'll head to Soutou city now.” Rei said as Bai Wu followed.

They walked while Bai Wu was curious on Rei's domain so she looked around his body to see where it had come from.

”Bai wu, are you not going to ask about what I did to them?” Rei said glancing at Bai Wu from the corner of his eyes.

She shook her head.

”Strong beasts eat weak beasts. It's the same everywhere.” She said as she understood the law of the jungle.

”Well at least you know.” Rei said as he continued to walk with Bai Wu. At the speed they were travelling, it didn't take long for them to reach the city as Rei looked for a inn to stay for the night.
