Corrupt Creations

The Second Prince Wu Shaohui left the throne room and just some minutes after he left, a woman entered without even prior warning the king.

She stood before the king of the Wu Martial Kingdom, but her stance didn't falter even a bit.

"Are you really going to send Shaohui to the Blazing Phoenix Country?" Her voice seemed to be a bit anxious and preoccupied.

"You know that I wouldn't let him go to the front line without anyone protecting him, but he lacks experience and the Blazing Phoenix Country is going to provide him that, Cuifen."

"Snort! I hope nothing happens with him like what have happened with the Crown Prince." The woman said in a discontent tone.

Wu Cuifen was Caizhi and Shaohui's mother. The crown prince was the son of the king of the Wu Martial Kingdom with a concubine and not with his main wife. However, the Crown Prince was the one that had shown the most promising future. His talents were very high and he advanced really quickly on his cultivation. But unfortunately, he was dead and the king needed another candidate for the throne.

After his death the king thought it would be hard to find another good successor, but his seconds son, at the age of twenty-four, was already a Qi Transformation initial-stage Realm cultivator.

That was a pleasant surprise for him, since his kingdom only respected strong practitioners. However, his son still didn't have any experience, since he has turned in a recluse after having half his face disfigured.

Wu Shaohui couldn't forget until this day, the moment Caizhi's flames jumped on him, burning half of his face and injuring him heavily.

"I'll send him to get some achievements for himself, and when he returns, I'll announce him as the next Crown Prince."

Wu Cuifen eyes sparkled. She really liked her son, a completely different story from what she felt for her own daughter. In her eyes, her daughter was frail and weak, someone not worth spending resources on. Little did she know, that her daughter had already surpassed her useless son.

"Good. Now, tell me what you're going to do after the Blazing Phoenix Sect falls? I guess we won't be able to annex their territory any longer, right?" Wu Cuifen asked while approaching the king. She was in a good mood after hearing her son was to be the next Crown Prince, so she started to slowly approach him with a seductive stare.

"Tch... I don't know why the Lion's Pride Golden Palace is interested in that territory... I guess we need to revise our strategies and step back, letting them do what they want to do first." The king didn't notice her reactions at first, so he kept making a serious expression.

"You're right. It's not like they will be able to discover about "that" in the first place. If we're able to put our hands on "that", we will rise into being the next Higher Ground without fail." While speaking, the woman put her hands on top of his pants and started to stroke what was underneath it.

"True. However, it's something only the two of us should know. I already ordered them to kill all the people that could eventually discover about "that"." The king finally noticed her intentions. He finished his speech and ordered the guards to seal the hall and not let anyone enter.

Both of them started to indulge in pleasure, while thinking about the ascension of their Wu Martial Kingdom.

An entire day has passed and it was already night time. Seth and Rina were finally able to cross the forest in front of the Ereinrith city.

In order to enter or to leave that city, someone would inevitably need to cross that forest. It was the fastest route after all.

The Elves loved everything related to the nature, that's why their cities were usually built amidst forests or the woods, but Seth found it really troublesome at these times.

"We finally left the forest, but there is still this huge valley we need to cross before reaching another city." Seth said while remembering he had crossed it once already.

"Really? Why don't we camp here then?"

"We should at least find a cave to protect us of an unexpected rain..."

"Well, I can do something about that..." Rina said as she pointed a finger towards the front. She had the spatial ring Arwen had gifted her on it.

Rina suddenly willed and a wooden cube suddenly appeared on the ground before her. It had approximately one meter in height and one meter in length.

"What is this?" Seth asked not knowing what that thing served for.

"It's something I found inside the spatial ring mother gave me. Look..." Rina started to put her Mana inside the wooden cube and suddenly, it started to enlarge.

It didn't just grow bigger, but seemed to be creating many wooden plaques around itself and forming something incredible.

'Incredible!'

Seth couldn't believe what he was witnessing. What kind of treasure was that? It was his first time seeing a spatial treasure other than the spatial ring.

It kept growing and growing, forming the outline of a huge house, however, there were no signs of it stopping anytime soon.

After five more minutes crating many more exquisite wooden plaques, wooden doors, wooden windows, stairs and many more things, it stopped after creating a wooden board right at the entrance.

There were some words on that board and Seth recognized them, since he had already seen them before.

Evergreen Tavern.

A magnificent building was standing before Seth. It had two very large floors, where the first one served as pub and the second floor was where there were two separate rooms and a corridor.

"Holy Shit! The Evergreen Tavern?!"

"Oh? Have you seen it before?"

"Yeah. It was where I first met your mother, even before coming to the Ereinrith city."

"Something like that happened?! Strange... Were you able to meet mother even though she had that heavy poisonous aura around her? Actually, what happened with mom? The first time you and I met, I was trying to come up with something to help her out, but now, she suddenly got cured..."

"Sigh... It's a long story. I met her when she still had the poisonous aura bothering her, however, it could not affect me. Come, let's enter the tavern, I will tell you everything I can that is related to the changes in Arwen's aura. However, it may take a lot of time, so don't think you will sleep early today."

"No problem."
