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

    (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

    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

    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. Realm-be

  • 94: Get Out and Don’t Bleed on the Floor

    The woman blinked twice, stunned as a gentle pulse of her own energy rippled through her veins.She could feel it—her strength. Her core. Her cultivation had returned.Even if not at full capacity, it was back.She sat up straighter, not caring about her half nakedness again, eyes wide as she looked down at her hands, then back up toward the man who’d just walked out as if he hadn’t done something borderline miraculous. Her brows furrowed in disbelief.He had unsealed her cultivation.He'd restored her.Just like that?Who the fuck was this strange and definitely crazy man?Before she could gather her thoughts properly, the door creaked open again.Kai strode back in, this time with a wad of crumpled cash in one hand and moved towards the table he'd dropped a new set of clothes before, picking it up with the other hand. Without sparing her much of a glance, he dropped both items unceremoniously on the foot of the bed.“There. Clothes. Cash. Door’s over there,” he said, pointing with h

  • 93: Of Pure Bodies and Dirty Minds

    Kai was still staring.Like really staring.Not the subtle kind, not the creepy kind—just the kind that screamed, "I’ve got time and you’re entertainment."The woman shifted slightly under the weight of his gaze, raising a brow. “Why are you staring at me like that?”Kai let out a chuckle—low, amused, shameless.“Waiting for you to stop acting like a sealed-up drama queen and actually say something.” He leaned back with a yawn, stretching his limbs wide.“I’ve got a bit of free time today, so I figured... why not waste it listening to the bloody soap opera that got you nearly shredded in my training field?”He grinned lazily, voice dripping with sarcasm.“So, what’s your story? Lemme guess—you’re a runaway disciple from some overbearing sect who didn’t want to marry the old wrinkled elder in charge, so you dipped during your engagement ceremony? Or maybe you accidentally insulted a demigod’s favorite concubine and now they’ve sent all nine realms after your head?”The woman scoffed and
