Corrupt Creations

"What?! What are you talking about?" Huo Shihong seemed to not comprehend what Seth was talking about.

"I'm talking about the incoming conflict between the Blazing Phoenix Country and the Wu Martial Kingdom. Did you think there wouldn't be any other third party interested on that war? Na?ve!"

"You're trying to tell me that two huge powers, considered as Higer Grounds are going to meddle on our small conflict against the Wu Martial Kingdom?"

"Small? Yeah, that's it."

"Ahahaha. Your words are so fanciful that I can't help but laugh. I would never in a million year believe in something like that. They have absolutely nothing to gain on trying to meddle on a conflict like this. By the way, aren't you from the Demonic Shadow Royal Clan? Why would you even go to such lengths and tell me something like that in advance? What are you aiming for?"

"Father-in-law, are you forgetting that we are in some way a family? Hehe, of course I would warn you beforehand, so you can at least have a little chance of survival. Actually, even if you think of dying with that stubbornness of yours, you should consider things first, or else you might kill Yuyin too."

"Tch. Those fanciful words aren't able to convince me. You got to be trying to gain something right? First of all, I would never let Yuyin get hurt because of something between the Blazing Phoenix Sect and the Wu Martial Kingdom and you're overestimating things. The Wu Martial Kingdom would never cross a certain line, because there might be other spears pointing towards them if the point their spear towards us."

"Well, they would sure reconsider things, if they were alone on this situation, but what would you think they would do, if the spears directed towards them were ineffective? They would wage war to your country!"

Seth looked at Huo Shihong's face and saw that he wouldn't be able to make his words go through him.

"Father-in-law, I know that you are no believing me and I can't do anything to help you like that. If ever there is a time that you realize that things are not as you thought they would be, you can come and talk to me, since you know where to find me. However, I will not be around here for the next three months. During this time, I sincerely hope that the decisions you took today are proved to be right and effective."

"Where are you goi...? Huo Shihong blinked while he was trying to ask his last question and Seth had already vanished when he finally noticed.

"What an irritating demon. Sigh..."

Huo Shihong stood silent inside his office room. The words Seth had told him, could not reach his heart at all. But there was a feeling of uncertainty and fear growing inside him. Even after inwardly saying that everything was alright, he could not shake off that feeling.

"Is everything really alright? Sigh..."

Seth had already covered all the distance between the center of the Blazing Phoenix Sect, until the female housing area. He was currently standing in front of Meiyi's house. However, this time, he decided to knock on the door and enter it normally.

Knock! Knock!

Seth waited for some time and the door opened. Meiyi came to see who was coming to visit her. She had just finished her sword training and wanted to take a bath, but someone came to visit her right at that moment.

'Ah... I just finished my training and I'm all sweaty, there is no way I could receive the visit on this way.'

Meiyi opened the door while being preoccupied that the person would notice that she was sweaty, but when she noticed that it was Seth, she forgot about her worries and got happy. Meiyi went forwards to hug him on her own accord, because she was already missing his presence after all this time.

"Meiyi, I'm back."

"Seth! Come on, let's go inside."

"Were you training Meiyi?"

"Huh? Ahh! Sorry. Even though I'm all sweaty now, I hugged you."

"Hahaha. Don't worry with something so trivial like that."

"Please, wait a bit while I take a quick bath. We can talk about a lot of things right after."

"Heh? Why don't you let me in with you? I'd love to clean my beautiful goddess body." Seth's hands were already trying to hold her waist and take some advantage.

Slap!

Meiyi slapped Seth's hand before rushing towards the bathroom.

"I know that cleaning my body would be the last thing you would do. Humph!"

After fifteen minutes, she was back renewed. The good flower smell coming from her left Seth entranced.

"It's bad Meiyi. I don't think I'll be able to hold myself back anymore. With such a sweet scent, I can't help but want to taste a bit more of you."

Meiyi's cheeks got a bit red. She was always shy when the conversation went towards those topics. Meiyi always got anxious while thinking about those things. She was suffering from excessive expectations, while at the same time, an unknown amount of fear would make her deny some of Seth's advances.

Seth knew how she felt. That was even more obvious to him because of the link they shared together, however, he didn't stop trying at all, nor did he force things or did anything against her wishes. He wanted her to overcome her difficulties and finally accept him on her own.

A side of Meiyi would always feel hot while thinking of him and those things, but she would always end up siding with reason, telling herself that they should marry first. However, at the end of the day, she would feel a sense of loss, asking herself why she didn't have the courage to go forward.

"I..."

"Haha, don't worry Meiyi, I was just joking. I will be waiting for you until you get ready. However, I won't give up any of the hugs and kisses you are owing me after all this time we didn't see each other."

"Ah!"

After flirting for some time, they finally entered a serious topic.

"Meiyi, I want you to leave the Blazing Phoenix Sect grounds for at least half a year."

"Huh? Why?"

"Well, it's a long story and you don't need to bother with it, but some things are going to happen and I don't want you to get caught inside all that mess. I want you to pass some time with your mother."

"I would love to pass some time with mother, but how will I receive the resources to cultivate if I am not here? How will I send a bit of money for mother if I'm not doing any tasks inside the sect?"

"You don't need to worry about those things. Here." Seth gave Meiyi another spatial ring.

Meiyi checked the spatial rings contents and started to tremble in shock. She dropped the ring on the floor and only a lot of time later did she pick it up again.

"W-Whe-Where did you o-obtain such a thing?"

"You don't need to be like that Meiyi. I just took a bit of resources from the Demonic Shadow Royal Clan. In fact, that amount is so little that they will never ever miss it."

"J-J-Just a little?" Meiyi was thoroughly shocked. The amount of wealth and resources inside the spatial ring Seth gave her, was enough for Meiyi and her mother to live a hundred years without any worries. She would be able to cultivate freely and live a life full of luxuries.

"Yeah, don't worry with that, just accept it."

"No! I cannot accept it!"

"Why not?"

"How will you cultivate if you're giving me all of that?"

"Then you don't need to feel humble because of that, since every single resource inside that ring is already ineffective in my body. I've already trained with them all to the point where they won't help me increase my cultivation any longer."

Seth was telling a partial truth. The resources were indeed ineffective on him, since his body and energy required stronger resources in order to grow stronger. But the part where he said he used them all, was false, since he didn't use those kinds of resources at all. Seth's strength until now, was developed by his own talents and efforts alone.

"Even if it is like you said, I can't accept them!"

"If you do not accept it, then I can only throw it away."

"What? Are you serious?"

"I am. I have nothing to do with all those things. If you don't want it, then it is trash."

"No, it's alright. I will accept it. I remember that something similar to this happened before, so I will accept it, okay?"

"That's good. Then let's move to the final topic. I will be going to the Elven Kingdom shortly. I plan to accompany you until your mother's house and after dropping you there, I will head towards the Elven Kingdom."

"So soon? Can't I go with you?"

"Meiyi, I really wanted to bring you along, but even I don't know if I will encounter any plot of the Elf Queen.. I promise to you, that one day I will bring you there to stroll and no one will dare to stop us."
