Chapter 184 – Cultivating As A Martial Journeyman
It was as if what he was looking at wasn't just the simple manifestation of a martial spirit.
It was almost like it had a mind of its own!
Rotating his energy pool at unbelievable speeds, Dante was dragging in all the moonlight energy into his dantian.
whilst alll this was happening, Dante didn't forget to start the procces of compressing this energy into his energy pool and in doing so caused it to grow not only larger but also more concentrated in the process.
Dante continued this cultivation process for hours.
It was only when his mental strength had depleted to about only a third of its original strength that Dante stopped cultivating.
If his mental strength dropped any lower than that, Dante could potentially find himself in a tough spot.
He wasn't back in the kingdom's capital.
people wouldn't be around everywhere to protect him.
Leaving himself vulnerable in such a situation was simply stupid.
So Dante decided he was done cultivating for now
Yawning, Dante finally opened his eyes as he stretched his cramped body.
But strangely enough, the scene was much more different than what he expected.
The tables had been completely cleaned of all plates.
Even the people he had come with had all disappeared.
It seems like he had been cultivating for much longer than he expected.
"Zzzzz…"
Just as Dante was about to get up, he suddenly heard a sound coming from his right.
It was only now that Dante realised something was on his shoulder!.
Looking to his right, Dante could
see a head full of vibrant red hair leaning carelessly against his shoulder.
Of course this was Rebecca.
Seeing as she was sleeping so peacefully, Dante just decided to leave her alone for while.
For the first time, Dante got a look at what this lioness looked like while she was sleeping and she was actually… quite pretty…
She had a slight smile on her face as whilst her eyes curved upwards, further emphasising her smiling expression
A pair of dimples could be seen as her practically flawless skin glowed under the firelight.
Suddenly, as Dante was staring right at her, Rebecca's eyes jolted open, revealing a pair of cold serpentine slits!
These emotionless eyes quickly scanned over Dante but Fortunately for him, this cruel look only lasted a short while before Rebecca came to her senses
"Wh-what are you doing!" Cried Rebecca as she shot up onto her feet
Dante just shrugged
"I don't know? You should tell me.
I was just cultivating when I woke up to you sleeping on my shoulder."
As Dante finished speaking Rebecca's cheeks flushed red.
'Damn! I was supposed to be watching over you whilst you cultivated but I must have fell asleep.' Thought Rebecca
"Fuck! Where are those boys! Why didn't they bother to wake me up!"said Rebecca in "frustration
Well they're clearly not here anymore and I don't blame them. It's probably been hours since I started cultivating!" Commented Dante
"Seeing as you are awake now, then I guess now would be a good time to start heading out. Well, As long as our little sleeping beauty doesn't have any problem that is.
"Humph!" Scoffed Rebecca as she walked on ignoring Dante's jeers.
Dante just chuckled as he walked out after her
…
Leaving the building, Dante and Rebecca walked out towards the courtyard.
And as he did he could see Lennox and Klent approaching him.
"Lennox, perfect timing! Go get that kid, clay so we can head out"
But before Dante could finish his sentence, he saw a kid peacefully sleeping on Lennox's back.
Seeing Dante's expression Lennox just chuckled.
"The kid really worked himself into the ground today. But he's still a kid after all. He really can't manage to stay awake late without dozing off."
Seeing the boy sleeping, Rebecca's expression quickly softened.
"He must have really had a tough time.
Travelling all the way here with no family or friends as such a young kid."
Seeing the sleeping expression of the child Dante just sighed
"I guess we can leave things to tomorrow. It would be too cruel to wake up the kid."
With that decision, the rest of the group smiled
Seeing this, Dante decided there was no longer any point in remaining outside.
The sky had already turned dark, it would be better to just go home and prepare to fully use the next day.
So after rounding up Lennox and the others, Dante headed towards the villa prepared for them by the City Lord…
….
Meanwhile in a dark corner of the Zrudon region
A scrawny figure could be seen rushing through a set of hallways
"Bang!"
The figure suddenly burst into the room.
"Sir Corpse Master! Bad news!"
"The operation has been exposed!"
A hoarse raspy voice sounded out from the hooded figure of the Corpse Master
"Is that all."
As the Corpse Master spoke, a chilling sensation crept up onto the servant.
"I'm in the middle of an important experiment. If you don't give me a good reason then you will become my next experiment."
Despite being covered by a hood, as the Corpse Master spoke a deranged smile was still slightly visible on his face.
Instantly the servant broke out into a nervous sweat.
With his heart in his throat, the servant slowly spoke up
"S-sir I only interrupted because a Dragon son had arrived in one of the nearby cities and seems to have take interest in the region.
My only fear is that…"
But before he could finish his sentence he was interrupted by the mad laughter of the corpse master
"Kekeke! A Legendary Dragon son!
Such exquisite materials, I'm certain my Lord would love such highly quality offerings.
Kekeke! Good work servant, you have really done well this time"
Hearing this, the servant finally relaxed
'Phew! It seems I can still live another day' thought the servant in glee.
But it was at that moment that the servant felt something off
