Chapter 11: Laura

In the Meowky Lodging house, the sunset had risen, Xiang Monji woke up, Elianor knocked on the door and greeted his young master.

She smile in enthusiasm and greet,

"Rise and Shine young master,"

She prepared the clothes for Xiang Monji, then Xiang Monji washed his face and took a face towel that Elianor had given to him and then took a change of clothes.

After he changes clothes he eats his breakfast, after that he would go window shopping, take a quest in the guild to earn some tales and buy things in preparation for improvising Maven city that he is assigned to govern.

Maven City is at the back of the mountain, it is an independent military city, its role is to vanguard against the wave of the beast, protect and serve the people.

If Maven city will fall, the mountain is useful to buy time for the Province of Yami to make preparations.

Although the Province of Yami has a chance to boost their economic power by assimilating the city of Maven, the officials of the Province of Yami chose not to.

There are three factors why they didn't approve of assimilation.

First of all Maven City is a military city, it's not a commercial city, therefore they won't gain a revenue, instead Maven city is a liability to them, for instance food, accommodation and supply is a must to run Maven city which requires a huge amount of tales/spiritual stones to operate.

Second is, Maven city is not worth as an investment , the city is at the brink of destruction due to relentless attack of the beast.

Third, the Military city is an independent city own and govern by the Grand Duke Landeros Von Monji.

As much as the residents want to get a shelter in the Yami province, they can't, since they have to cross on the steep and deep mountain and most of all their entry is rejected, because they aren't part of the residency of Yami province.

Individuals who reside in Maven city are just cannon fodders, for cultivators who reside in Maven City, they can't leave their family behind, which are commoner and mortals.

As much as they want to leave, they cannot leave their post, for a fact that they have a family that needs protection.

Xiang Monji went window shopping and sightseeing in Ming city, it was bustling, from left and right, the side brimming with stall vendors side by side, some were selling skewers, buns, etc.

To the West of the city is a business district where big businesses are established. The Pill hall, Guild Tower, Smith shop, armor shop Auction house, and etc.

At the North side are prominent residential areas, the East side is the red light district and entertainment area,as for the south is where the common residential areas are.

Xiang Monji went to the business district, he went alone since he didn't want Elianor to follow him and restrict him from the things he wanted to do like visiting a brothel in the East.

Xiang Monji went to buy skewers in a food stall, the moment he tried to take a bite of his skewer, he got a bump from a teenage girl.

The skewer fell on the ground, although he had had breakfast already, he still wanted to eat something new for him, to taste something novelty to his taste.

The skewer fell on the ground and looking at it, he was furious when his food fell on the ground.

The teenage girl grabs his clothes, and beg for his help.

"Please help me young lady, if you help me I'll offer my body and serve you my whole life" she is crying as she beg for his help.

The teenage girl is referring to service, for instance becoming his maid, but Xiang Monji misunderstood what the teenage girl is referring to.

Even if Xiang Monji didn’t misunderstood, it doesn't change the fact that he would request something explicit, like warming his bed.

Xiang Monji's wild imagination goes rampant,

"Hehehehe"

[Whew! the heavens have sent luck with me today, instead of going to a brothel, A beautiful teenage girl had drawn towards me, is this happiness or is it a woe?]

The teenage girl thought that Xiang Monji was a rich noble young lady. Since Xiang Monji's appearance can be deceiving with his feminine body, short and long hair.

"So what help could I offer?" he smiled at her,he bent a little bit to touch on her chin, while she was kneeling. Their eyes are drawn to each other."

She was crying and explain it to him,

"My eldest sister had a disease, in order for her to get cured I went to look for a doctor to check her condition, but the doctor can't tell what kind of rare disease my sister has, then suddenly there was a rich looking young man appear outside my house, claiming that he can cure my sister, he said that he has a elixir that can cure anything, in exchange I'll become his 4th concubine."

"He brought a contract with him, before I can take the medicine, I have to sign a marriage contract with him. After I signed the contract in haste, he smiled at the same time as his eyes closed. I directly went to my sister for her to consume the medicine."

"The aftermath of consumption was, my sister acts weirdly as if she is in heat, her body was cold, after the consumption I can feel that his body is a little bit hot, then suddenly her cold has gotten much worse, the surrounding became harshly cold covered with glacial ice."

"I went to the guy who gave me the elixir and shouted at him with frustration, then he told me that what my sister consumed was an aphrodisiac pill."

"I ran directly back to my sister but my wrist was grabbed by that man, I bit his hand and ran somewhere as fast as I could to look for hel..."

Xiang Monji shove his pointy finger in her lips,

"Shhhh... I already know the gist of the story, there's no way that rich guy didn't bring his babysitters, we better hurry to save your sister"

Four soldiers that try to catch the teenage girl contact each other,

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" He shouted.

"Oh! Speaking of the devil, the babysitters are here, instead of making trouble to this damsel in distress, why not you babysit your baby master, he's gone to far, maybe I should discipline the baby for you"

The soldiers under that young man was outrage,

"You! Courting Death!"

Xiang Monji ran away with the teenage girl, he wanted those soldiers to be killed silently without anyone noticing.

His skill provocative master (taunt magic) is in effect, Those soldiers are chasing him relentlessly without a thought of what Xiang Monji is thinking.

They arrive at a place where no one is around, he stops and faces them, he gives out a hand signal to come get at me.

The four soldiers were starting to charge at him in a fast pace, then Xiang Monji Activated his domain to use area of effect and buff his skill, after that he use gravity 100 times the earth's gravity, times 0.50 with the buff effect of domain, a total of 150 times the earth's gravity.

They pause within 2 seconds because of the restraint of the gravity. Xiang Monji uses a swift step to boost his speed, he teleport each and every one of those four soldiers, materialize his spiritual ki into dagger and slit their necks within 1 second before they could react, in other words Xiang Monji slither their neck within 0.25 seconds each.

In an instant, they die without being able to lay a finger towards him.

After the fight, Xiang Monji looted their bodies. He found 200 tales of silver all in all, 1 yellow lower grade Martial art book and three grade 1 level pills.

They left the body behind without a proper burial in the forest, and directly went to the direction where the teenage girl's sister's is located.

While they were going, Xiang Monji asked the name of the teenage girl.

"Lady, what is your name?"

"Uhm, name? My name is Laura"

"uhm, what a cute name reminds me of Florante and Laura during my high school years in my old world."
