Death… And Me



Roan made a few more modifications and trials with the various Sun Urpins there. Only then did he nod his head, although he still didn't look happy. "It is still a piece of shit technique, but I can at least look at it without puking. Alright, that's enough."

Klifon, as well as the rest of the Sun Urpins, were extremely happy, though. "Roan, our deal was that we could keep the technique in case it worked, right?"

Roan nodded. "I have no use for it other than trading for the items in the auction. As long as you don't appear in the auction in the royal capital with this technique, I have no issues. Once the auction is over, you can even spread this technique, and I won't give a shit."

Rosa was on Klifon's side. "Klifon, that seems way too unfair. You are my friend, and I'm happy you got the technique, but you are definitely gaining a lot more in this deal."

Klifon looked at Rosa and scratched his head with his wing. "Fine... I'm not exactly rich, but I do have a few Spiritual Stones. I can give these seniors of the Gondel Clan 500 Rank Four Spiritual Stones. How about that?"

Rosa was taken aback. "You had that many?!"

"I'm a lot older than you think, girl," Klifon spoke.

Rean was definitely happy to hear that. "Then we will accept. Just don't forget to not let this technique spread before the auction in the Royal Capital is over. We need that Enchanted Moon Gel."

"No problem at all," Klifon wouldn't let it spread anyway. Such news would only bring him trouble. "By the way, once the auction is over, you can definitely make a lot more Spiritual Stones if you sell it in other places."

Roan instantly shook his head. "I also need Spiritual Stones at the moment, but do you know why I don't sell cultivation techniques?"

Klifon pondered a bit and understood. "With your talent for the creation of techniques, the ones you make will probably be extremely advanced. That would definitely attract the attention of other powers to you, which might be your downfall instead."

Roan faintly smiled. "That is pretty much it. I'm confident I can make techniques as good as the most secret ones of all powers in this country. I'm that good. Anyway, whether you believe it or not is not my problem. I'm not making more of them."

Rean found it a little sad. "Too bad we can't. Otherwise, it would be the best money source."

Rean and Roan didn't have anything else to do there, so they prepared to leave. "Well, this is it. We will meet again if fate allows it."

"Wait!" Rosa quickly came to them. "Seniors, can you bring me back to the clan as well? It was good enough that I could pay a visit to Klifon. It is time I return and continue my training."

Rean didn't mind. "Sure, I'll drag you together. However, you know we are kind of hiding our appearances, so I will let you go somewhere near the clan's location. I won't bring you with us into the clan, and we probably will never meet again there."

"Never?" Rosa felt disappointed. After these days with the twins, she came to like them quite a lot, especially Rean.

Rean confirmed, though. "Yes, probably never. Anyway, are you ready? We need to go back." Suddenly, a Sun Urpin descended from the skies. "Klifon!"

Klifon looked up, and his expression changed. "Oh, for fucks sake. Not them again." Right after, he looked at Rean, Roan, and Rosa. "Alright, you three should leave now before you get involved in this shit."

"Is it the Parton Sect again?" Rosa asked, seemingly aware of the situation.

"Yes," Klifon nodded. "Now go!"

"I don't need to hear it twice," Roan spoke and quickly took flight. He had no interest in getting mixed in Klifon's mess.

Rean scratched the back of his head but nodded anyway. He enveloped Rosa with his Spiritual Energy and brought her up. Finally, the three of them flew away in the direction of the Gondel Clan's territory. Then, once they left Klifon's vision, Rean stopped.

"What you doing?" Roan stopped as well, looking back at Rean.

"Come on? Aren't you at least curious to see what this is all about?" Rean smiled in response. "Not at all," Roan shook his head, though. "Anyway, I'm going back. If you want to stay and play hero, that's up to you. In any case, I won't die anymore even if you do. I'm out." And so, Roan flew away as if he hadn't seen anything.

Rosa heard all of that and didn't know what to say. "Senior..."

"Hahaha!" Rean just laughed, though. "Don't worry. That is how he is. Besides, I'm just curious. How about it? Do you want to take a look?"

"But..." Rosa had her doubts. "If we get close, they will notice us."

Rean patted the girl's head even though he was the one who looked like a kid. "You underestimate me way too much, little girl." Immediately, Rean's Light and Divine Sense Bending skills activated. As long as some Transition Realm expert didn't appear, Rean wasn't afraid of being found. Of course, he couldn't get too close either, but in Klifon's case, Rean was confident he could get as near as a few meters and still be undetectable.

Rean and Rosa flew back to Klifon's tower. Klifon was there on the platform, seemingly waiting for someone. To Rosa's surprise, she and Rean stopped just a few tens of meters away, right in front of Klifon. She couldn't understand why Klifon couldn't see them.

Rean put a finger between his lips while smiling and spoke to her through Spiritual Sense. 'Keep quiet. Let's just watch the show.'

Rosa felt slightly excited to find herself in such a situation. Somehow, she felt very safe near Rean, even with his kid appearance. 'Yes, senior Jerry.'

A few minutes later, another Spiritual Sense touched Rean's Divine Sense Bending Skills. 'Oh! It is a Saint Realm expert. No wonder Klifon seems concerned.'
