Chapter 196: Tricked
Inside a cave, various loud sounds rang out and a putrid smell filled the air, with each boom a scream of pain rang out.
The five disciples from the Iron Giant sect were sitting with their backs facing each other, they were all half naked.
All of them had eaten four to five pills, if they were normal people they would all be dead by now, but even with their cultivation bases they were just barely hanging. They couldn’t even take a single step, and their stomachs hurt so bad that they were all about to faint.
” T- That Qiang ughhh bastard, h- he mmmm haa he closed the cave entrance uhhhhhh ha ha with a b- boulder. ” The first disciple said while grimacing in pain.
” I’m going uuuuuubb cough cough haa haa to kill t- that bastard- uwahhhh ” the third disciple said, vomiting all his stomach content.
All of them fell silent, and the place was only filled with the sound of bombs they were all dropping.
In just such a short time, their faces had completely turned pale, they all looked as if they had aged more than ten years in just a matter of few hours.
*DRRRRRRRRRERRRRRR*
Then the sound of the big boulder being removed rang out, all five of them tried to see what happened, but they couldn’t even look away because of all the pain in their stomach and butts. They felt as if someone has pierced their asses with a burning candle.
*STEP* *STEP*
Soon, all of them heard the sound of footsteps, the fourth used all his strength and spoke: ” W-Who is it ughhhh? ” He finished with a painful groan.
” An, what happened to you? ” The person who had just entered asked, keeping a hand on the nose. Since the entrance was sealed off, the smell was even worse, it was like several dead bodies were lying there.
” B- Brother, is that y-you? ” The fifth disciple asked, as he looked at the face of the figure.
” We’ll talk later, first take these pills although they won’t heal you completely, they’ll at least relieve some of your pain. ” He said, giving them some pills to all of them.
After eating the pills, all of them felt a little better but still the pain made their faces to distort.
” Now tell me, what happened to you all? And why haven’t you escorted the things you were supposed to yet? ” The senior disciple asked.
” B- Brother, we were g- going to complete our mission, but a person named Qiang from the Divine Sword sect, asked us for help and when we helped him, he tricked us into eating something strange. ” The fourth disciple, An, summarised.
” Hmm… ” The senior disciple was aware of his brother’s nature, so he didn’t believe every word he said, but still he wouldn’t let someone bully his younger brother.
” You should go back to the sect and get treated, I’ll deal with this Qiang guy, also where are the materials you were carrying? ” He asked.
” Uh… W-Weren’t they outside, right at the entrance? ” The first asked in confusion, they clearly remember throwing all the bags outside.
” What? There’s nothing but ashes outside, don’t tell me, that Qiang also burned all the things? ” The senior disciple asked, anger evident in his voice.
” Ah… I-I think so, he forced us to take everything out of the rings. ” The five of them put all the blame on Qiang.
” You don’t have to worry about him anymore, go back, I’ll deal with him. ” He said ‘ Using assassins would be the best way to kill someone inside the sect. ‘ he thought and then walked out of the cave to meet the right people for the job.
The five of them looked at each other, they had just survived a disaster, since most of it was their own fault, after a long sigh they too left the cave, leaving behind the remnants of their stay.
…
*ACHOOO*
Qiang who was sitting beside his grandpa suddenly sneezed, rubbing his nose he asked:
” So Grandpa, are you done with the preparations? ”
” Yes, we’ll execute it tomorrow morning, we won’t have to do anything and just enjoy the show. Hahahahaha ” He said, before producing a loud laugh.
…
” Mom, the food was delicious, if you weren’t the Matriarch then you could easily be a chef. ” Jayden praised her, after finishing his food.
Jia felt butterflies in her stomach, listening to his words and watching him eat the food she had prepared felt so good, almost like a dream, with a smile that never left her face she replied: ” Though I won’t cook food for anyone else, it’s a privilege only for you. ”
” Haha, I’m jealous of my own luck, let’s go take a walk outside. ” He stood up and extended a hand towards her.
Wang Jia suppressed her happiness from overwhelming her and took his hand, then they strolled around the sect, talking about various things and ignoring all the surrounding curious stares.
Jayden also wanted to show his relationship with her to everyone in the sect, so that no one would dare bother him in the future.
As they walked Jayden shared various things he experienced in the jade forest and Jia told him about her past and her current problems.
It seemed the king is yet to give up on Wang Jia and is still sending proposals to her, though with the power she holds now, he couldn’t do anything too excessive.
” Your energy looks so violent, it seems you’re about to break through. ” Jayden said, as he walked hand in hand with her.
Wang Jia was surprised that he could sense her energy, but since she wasn’t even trying to hide it, so she didn’t think too much about it.
” Hmm, it’s just a matter of time, by the way, what’s your Cultivation base? ” She asked, because of the bracelet, she couldn’t see through his realm.
” Just a little behind yours. ” He said, chuckling.
Wang Jia didn’t ask any further and changed the topic, they walked around for over an hour, and then they returned back to the house.
” You can go rest in your room first, I need to finish some work. ” She said, although she wanted to spend some more time with him, but she knew that he must be tired.
” Okay Mom, you shouldn’t overwork yourself, take proper rest. ” Jayden said, then he walked closer to her and after kissing her cheek he smiled at her and then walked upstairs.
Jia sat down on a chair, her cheeks a bit flushed, every action from him made her feel so good. She wanted to go and spend more time with him, but she held herself back since she didn’t want to annoy him.
‘ Won’t it be great if he could just sleep in my room, then we would be able to stay together for even longer. ‘ a thought came to her mind, but shaking her head she dismissed it. Still, she wondered if he would agree if she asked him to sleep in her room.
…
Jayden entered his room, he changed into more comfortable clothes and then lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Then he remembered about the Asura bracelets.
