The Wind Grows Stronger

 

 

 

"Eh, hello? Beishang~?" A cute little melodic voice resounded through Yun Beishang's ears as his heart felt fuzzy.

"Ah, yes yes. It's me."

"Puchi... I know you idiot! Who else am I calling, ah?"

"Cough, cough...! So, what's the thing about. Why have you finally called me, hm?" Yun Beishang spoke after giving Miriam a few little sparks of victory. And Miriam, as he could even hear her smile radiantly in the known, then responded with contained exaltation: "Guess what, I and my family are finally completely installed at the Nascent Herb City!"

Closing his eyes in relaxation and after puffing out a little bit of heavy breath from his nostrils, Yun Beishang then softly responded: "I'm glad; truly. Ey, Miriam, where do you live? Tell me, I'll send my chauffeur to take you to my cave and imprison you."

"Bwahaha! Stop it... wait, ah! Were you serious? Really serious?! Can I move with you now? Can I?!"

"..." An involuntary mirthful grin slowly appeared on Yun Beishang's face as he heard her all excited and trembling in anticipation from the other side. After hearing some of her yelps and excited girly moans, he added: "Mn. By the way, I wanted to travel to the rest of the Sub-Division of the Bright Sunset Region. With the Core Elemental Throne, could you be my taxi in return for some little kisses, hugs and cuddles?"

It wasn't until a little while after that Miriam answered to Yun Beishang's plea in a rather laughing manner: "...Beishang~, you sound so cheesy right now, hehehe. Yup, I'll help you. But only if you add up some story telling and, and... ah! I also want to know anything that you're doing right now!"

"Mn, don't worry, I'll comply and do whatever you want me to do, alright? And as for your parents, don't worry about it, with Nora's help, they will be safe and sound. I also remember how stubborn yet soft your parents are so... I'll tell Nora not to help them up from the dark, alright?" Yun Beishang spoke with a really caring tone in his voice as each word was uttered out softly as well. Miriam didn't took long to become warm deep inside to all of her body as she then exclaimed and thanked him in advance, knowing he was really caring about her genuinely: "Hehe! Mn, thank you~. Beishang, I've improved lots since... we were younger, ahem. I'll make you grow fat and meaty, you'll see!"

Peep.

'Ah, this girl... hung up on me.' Speechless, Yun Beishang softly relaxed his eyes as they incredulously gazed at the relationship system's interface.

Haaah.

After letting out another tranquil sight, Yun Beishang lowered his gaze to see the Half-Divine Mind-Sensory Pseudo-Artifact's description.

[Half-Divine Mind-Sensory Pseudo-Artifact]: Type: Artifact(Pseudo), Grade: Luxurious(Evolvable), Equipment Requirements: Owner or contract by Tongqiu, Properties: As not only an (pseudo)artifact but also a half-divine one at that (which is already outside the boundaries of the mortal grading system), this (pseudo)artifact is also has no attributes nor effects as it is tailor made in a truly specific way. Yet, because the materials used to craft this (pseudo)artifact were too low, the grade and effectiveness of this (pseudo)artifact are mainly limited; one's Hit Rate and other types of 'Hit' Rates are reduced considerably. It can change into any thinkable weapon and even transform into dual weapons as well. Made by Peak Gardener, Peak Blacksmith and Peak Smith-Tongqiu.

"Hmph~." Snorting involuntarily and in a cheerful manner, Yun Beishang then slightly warmly looked at the strange 'thing' in his left hand as he said: "Long time no see, old pals."

Ti-Ling~~~...

A clear and even loud resounding came from the thing in his hands as he felt it vibrate excitingly. Indeed, this masterpiece of his had been created along with the remnants of not only the previously known as the Light-Absorbing Flaming Gladius, but also with the Self-Harming Dagger that has long become totally useless for him to use.

The Half-Divine Mind-Sensory Pseudo-Artifact, Mind-Sensory for short, looked like a bunch of extremely highly technologically advanced legos conjoined in a strange .72 meters long and .20 meters wide rectangle. There were 7 flamy-orange colored tube-like structures while it was all connected by a much more thinner and larger white tubes with some bright and powerful red lines imprinted on them.

The most strange characteristic of the default structure of this Mind-Sensory was, that it wasn't a completely firm and straight rectangle. Like legos, it was impossible to create a totally perfectly flat structure unless they were specifically designed for that purpose. The overall body of the Mind-Sensory was just like that of the most crude types of small legos attached to one another, creating a rectangle of fiery-orange, white with bright red lines- rectangle that heaved up and down every now and then, and it was so damn easily to tell at that.

There were three flamy-orange tube-like structures; two located at each extreme in between the larger sides of the rectangle while the third one was in the middle of the rectangle itself. Perfect for any type of handling the Pseudo-Artifact. The rest of the tube-like structures were divided by two on each side of the larger sides of the rectangle, so as to say.

And that, was Yun Beishang's greatest masterpiece so far. It was to the point that he reached Peak-Basic grade with Smith, Blacksmith and Gardener Sub-Classes all at once!

"Mn, I'm glad you're okay again... heh. Now... let me try you out!" Yun Beishang said as he used his left hand to throw the Mind-Sensory old pal to the infinite distance of the White Space.

Unparalleled Manipulation!

Vwong! Vwong!

It quickly made its way into the nothing, amply disappearing from Yun Beishang's eyes; well, to the naked eye.

. . .

 

"Hello, dear. Oh, ar-are you leaving, now?" The blue elf fine woman spoke to Yun Beishang with a cup of some tea in her hands after sipping on it for a little. Her eyes sparkled profusely at the sight of Yun Beishang entering the tent she was in as there were many steps coming from outside and didn't really bothered to scan who was coming inside, as long as she didn't detect a hidden danger she wouldn't act up right away. But then, she became quiet disappointed and despondent when she saw the look on Yun Beishang's eyes, almost the same kind of look that her husband gave her the last time they ever saw each other again.

Step, step.

Grinning as the left corner of his mouth tugged backwards attractively, Yun Beishang stepped forwards to lightly embrace the blue elf's shoulder from the front. After the top of her head rested under his chin for a while, he then answered while ruffling her blonde/azure hair: "Mn, yes. But don't worry, you now you can enter my White Space whenever you can and, if danger truly arrives; you can also warn me so that I can take as many people with you as possible. I'm stronger now, I can manage a few million as long as they are all unconscious, okay?"

Knowing that he was just trying to comfort her as he didn't wanted to see her like this, as she already knew of this stuff, the blue elf woman only responded with a heavy nod: "Mn."

"Also, I'll come back after dealing with... quite some important matters, hm. I'll create my own Association and rope you in as soon as I can. Worst comes to worst, I'll just have to use some of the Honorable Lord Upgrade to have the chance of at least taking one faction or Association in. Okay?" Repeating her actions from before, the blue elf fine woman then couldn't hold herself anymore as tears spilled slowly from her eyes; her beautiful green-azure eyes that instead of puffy, looked big and encouraging as she stole his lips and his heart in a blast.

Mwpoh~...

"Come back to me, okay? As soon as you can, okay? We've long exiled ourselves from the city lord's wing and if things are too stable, we'll be quickly to be selected for a hunt. As are the other brand new factions around the Sub-Divisions... I'll... try to contact some of them, convince them to join you... my lord." Yun Beishang quickly tilted his head to the right with his chin popping downwards. His heart not only trembled at the unique words but, also at the way she devotedly and in a manner of pure infatuation- called him without a single tinge of hesitation.

"Oh, dear... I swear you may become even more of a mother in the future, fuck!" Widening her eyes at Yun Beishang's strange words, the blue elf woman only understood his 'vow' 15 minutes later as Yun Beishang was leaving once their passionately kissing session was over. Similarly, when Yun Beishang saw a change in her Skills section, he let her have one of his -previously- two remaining Golden Kimchi with Golden Wine.

As for what was that change to which for some reason she didn't mention? It was simple, she herself wasn't sure if Yun Beishang knew about it. So she chose to remain silent so as to not alert him; namely, her new skill was called 'Ancestral Awakened Race-Bloodline'.

[Ancestral Awakened Race-Bloodline(1st stage)]: For an unknown reason and motive, the body and bloodline of this unit has evolved and even been remodeled for the greatest better. Physical Defense, Magical Defense as well as Physical Power, Magical Power; are immensely enhanced permanently. HP, Elemental Resistance and Movement Speed, Dodge Rate and Hit Rate have been exponentially increased; permanently.

Now, with the Golden Kimchi and Golden Wine, though by a little, her basic stats would also grow and the effect from that skill would be slightly increased. That blue elf wouldn't be herself if she didn't knew of Yun Beishang's motives; and care. She sobbed softly and mildly as she ate the gift from her man and thought to herself that her and her family's brand new faction would most likely have a real future up ahead of themselves.

Little tears fell from the no-longer 'just a' widowed woman in the solitary tent full of resources; from a faction that was now developing immensely well, thanks to one sole of the many infamously reputed 'Journeyers'.

'Haaah.' Yun Beishang found himself mentally sighing inside his little cute head as he was being casually teleported back to the Azure Dragon Sub-Division's Main City. The reason was, he gave a quick check to all of the happenings and changes that occurred to the Leaderboards. First, though he was king in the Equipment, Pet, Sub-Class Leaderboards, he was trash in the Level Leaderboard. This, he found slightly comical. After all, everyone could see that he levelled up around 30 levels in just two weeks or so, was that not amazing?! Yet, he wasn't in the Leaderboard, NOT that he wanted to but, shouldn't something and someone as amazing as himself be put first for such hardwork? Ayayayay...

Anyway, as soon as Yun Beishang felt his feet touch the all-so familiar floor of the Azure Dragon city's teleportation plaza in the middle of the city, he went towards the area where 'Journeyers' could create their own Associations. He didn't even seemed to need a guide or to ask around, as he seemingly moved as if he knew everything on his surroundings.

In the slight distance, two guards' eyes went fully wide yet they remained on their spot and no longer showed hostility at Yun Beishang himself. After they made sure that he was far, far away -or so they thought-; one of them immediately after began to whisper at the other: "Go, and quickly notify the City Lord, we must quickly be the ones to announce Tongqiu's arrival!"

Completely understanding, slightly greedy and serious, the other guard didn't even responded as he 'slowly' dragged his armored body towards the city lord's territory.

Meanwhile, on Yun Beishang's side, he was more than obviously; noticing how the guards seemingly stopped being hostile and instead, became rather hospitable. This irked quite the thought in his head as he went: 'What is it now? This seems to be a bother, huh...'

Yet, he pushed them aside as he already had his Lordship Token locked with his senses inside his bag, ready to take the first step into his path. His future.

Not long after, Yun Beishang arrived before a still somewhat crowded but vacant area in which there was a long road ahead with two guards at the each extreme of such a road. Around it was an enclosure of strong-looking shot walls made of some unknown grey-white rock that made it impossible for trespassers to come and go like they wished. Indeed, such a small barricade were meant to scam players -'Journeyers'- even more.

As soon as Yun Beishang arrived before the firs two guards, they were about to talk with a false pretense of cordiality when Yun Beishang himself stopped them as he barked first: "Tell the city lord that I'll be going into the sacred grounds in a while, don't bother me now, will you?"

The guards did not respond and this caused an eerie silence to come forth to surround them, which made Yun Beishang lift an eyebrow as he added: "Pretty please?"

His voice wasn't friendly, of course not! But the two guards felt that he was rather easy going and easy to trick so, feeling rather relieved, they didn't bothered Yun Beishang anymore with any fee to cross the 'road' or something as they made way for him to pass while also giving those on the other extreme of the road some signs.

Step, step, step...

Without waiting for them to finish their 'communications', Yun Beishang stepped into the road as he slowly made it towards the other side, feeling stupid that there was such a regulation. What could one expect of such braindead, greedy and blatant fuckers that lusted after money and power? For as fake as it seemed to be...

 

...

 


Let It Rain's Note: If anyone is wondering, Zyv's second Sub-Class is that of Caretaker! Also, it took me some time to make the Leaderboards once again, phew. Good thing there won't be that much many in the future, spoiler?! Ooops.
