100: Saving The Disciple.
Zora’s fists were clenched against her thighs, her eyes locked on the lone disciple pacing inside the sect master’s quarters. Her breathing hitched slightly as the tension coiled tighter. The muffled noise of celebration echoed in the distance, but here, everything felt calm.“He doesn’t deserve to die like that,” she whispered fiercely, barely holding herself back. “Poisoned wine? That’s cowardice. The sect master might be a bastard, but this disciple? He’s loyal. They’ll hang him for it.”Kai, standing in front of her, didn’t blink. He rested one hand beside her head. His eyes were calm—dangerously calm.“And that’s our business because?” he asked, voice sharp and cool.Zora glared at him. “Because it’s wrong.”Kai gave a low snort. “You think we broke into this sect to hand out justice pamphlets? Wake up. This isn’t your village, and I’m not your moral compass.”“He’ll die!”“He’ll probably die. Not our fault. Not our fight. Now hush it.” Kai glanced sideways, arching a brow.Her f
99:Spiked Wine
Kai pressed his back firmly against the cold stone pillar, one arm instinctively caged around the woman beside him. She was practically flush against him, the space between them nonexistent.Her hair tickled his chin.Her elbow dug into his ribs.And her chest...Kai’s expression twitched behind the mask.“Why the hell is it always this position?” he grumbled internally. “Every time I’m hiding with a woman, someone’s either too soft, too close, or trying to stab me.”The lady shifted uncomfortably. “Move,” she whispered. “You’re breathing too loud.”“I’m breathing like a human,” he whispered back dryly. “Try doing the same and maybe your discomfort won’t keep slapping me in the face.”Before she could retort, the door to the sect master’s chambers creaked open.Two men walked in—young, cocky, and half-drunk, their robes half-tied like they’d left a celebration midway. Laughter spilled from their mouths, and one of them slammed a decorated wine jug onto the table with a loud clink.“Oh
98: To Get The Maps.
(Two days later) The night draped over the city, it was the kind of darkness Kai liked—quiet, dramatic, full of possibilities.He leaned casually against the rail of his home, hands in his pockets, watching the moon flirt with the clouds when the ai voice announced a presence at his front door. “Tch,” he muttered. “Showtime.”He strolled to the entrance and opened the door.She stood there in full gear—sleek, form-fitting black garments with hidden blade slots, boots strapped to kill, and a deadly aura humming around her. Her face was half-covered with a veil, her hair tied in a sleek tail, and her eyes burned with focus.Kai let out a low whistle, a sly smile playing on his lips.“Well damn,” he drawled. “You sure you’re not here to confess your love to me? Because you look dangerously into me right now.”Her glare could’ve shattered mountains. “You think you’re funny?”“I know I am,” he said, stepping aside dramatically. “Welcome to the humble lair of your favorite savior.”She ig
97: In Two Days.
Kai squinted at the ancient map scroll now laid out between them. The markings glowed faintly in the dim light, infused with that peculiar pulse only true treasures carried, one that whispered of godhood, madness, and the kind of power that turned legends into corpses. That was definitely a deadly map.He hummed lowly, brushing a finger across the worn edge. “Alright then… let’s get the rest and go treasure hunting.”The woman raised an eyebrow. “Treasure hunting? You make it sound like we’re off to dig gold out of the backyard.”“Well,” Kai smirked, “if the backyard had armed maniacs, fire-breathing elders, and a vault cursed by ancient spirits, yeah. Pretty much.”She sighed, folding her arms as her face turned serious. “Don’t underestimate them. The sect isn’t just powerful—they’re paranoid. I barely got out alive the first time. Traps, seals, death formations—hell, even the plants in their courtyard have a body count. I wasn’t just running for fun. They’re watching. Every movement
96: The Map.
Kai leaned against the wall, arms folded across his chest, watching the woman as she practically bounced with joy, the way someone might if they’d just won the lottery.She was smiling too hard. Too quickly. And he didn’t like it.“Why are you so damn happy?” he muttered, arching a brow, voice flat.The lady looked at him, half-laughing. “Because we’re going to get the scrolls, duh. We move soon, right? No time to waste.”Kai didn’t answer immediately. He hummed low in his throat, as if chewing on a decision that refused to go down. He didn’t trust joy... it was always followed by chaos. And this woman? She was glowing like she’d already won.That alone was enough reason to mess with her.He shifted, rubbing his jaw lazily. “I don’t know. Now that I think about it… I don’t like how excited you are. Makes me suspicious.”She blinked. “Suspicious? Of what?”“Of you,” Kai said plainly. “You’re too happy. Either you’re hiding something, or you’re stupidly optimistic. And either one makes
95: The Map To The Scrolls.
Kai stood near the doorway, one hand resting lazily on the doorframe, the other stuffed deep in his pocket. He was watching her, not with the intensity of a man desperate for answers, but with that maddening, unreadable calm that made people question if he was even listening.The lady blinked in awe, she'd just dropped a bomb, one that could shake the foundation of the entire cultivation world.But all Kai did was blink and was watching her like she was a strange animal making noise in his bedroom.“…You done?” he asked, voice dry.The lady’s smirk deepened. “Let me make things clearer, what I meant is… I know where the Fragmented Scroll of the Celestial Gods is.”Kai scratched his neck like he hadn’t heard her right. “You sure it’s not under your pillow?”She rolled her eyes. “Funny. But I’m serious. This isn’t a joke.”“Neither was the nap you ruined.”The lady huffed. “Do you know how powerful that fragment is? Every cultivator dreams of it! Eternal life. God-tier essence.
