Death… And Me

Chapter 384 - Tissanʼs Problem

Rean and Roan kept still without doing anything. If Rean felt that the Spiritual Senseʼs owner was coming, he and Roan would immediately enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Fortunately, the Spiritual Sense receded a few moments later.

ʼAlright, letʼs go.ʼ

Rean could tell where the Spiritual Sense came from, so he and Roan ignored the room where it was located. They headed deeper inside until they stopped in front of a semi-opened room. They could hear some movement inside as well.

The two looked through the gap and could barely see that the person inside wasnʼt looking in their direction. Rean took the chance and used his Spiritual Energy to slowly open the door without making any sound. After some time, the two passed through the gap and were ready to attack.

However, it was then that they noticed the long hair in their targetʼs back. Not only that, but the clothes on the person ahead definitely werenʼt something a man would wear.

ʼA woman?ʼ

ʼSeems like it.ʼ

ʼWasnʼt Tissan a man?ʼ

ʼThatʼs what the information said.ʼ

ʼWait! Somethingʼs not right.ʼ

Suddenly, they heard a sound from behind the door.

ʼGet away from the door.ʼ

The two quickly distanced themselves from it and waited. Soon after, an old man entered straight away, not caring about the fact that it was a womanʼs room.

”Young Master, you should really stop using these kinds of clothes.”

Right after, a manʼs voice came from the feminine figure ahead.

”Hahaha! Why should I? Canʼt you see how beautiful I am?”

Only then the person looked in the twinsʼ direction. He was indeed beautiful, as he mentioned, but he definitely wasnʼt a woman at all!

ʼOh! Itʼs really a man. Still, I didnʼt expect to see this type in the cultivation world.ʼ

Roan couldnʼt help but ask.

ʼDid you see drag queens often?ʼ

Rean shook his head.

ʼNope. But itʼs not like I had never seen any. I lived in a pretty big city, after all.ʼ

Without knowing about Rean and Roanʼs presence, the newcomers talked with the drag.

”Young Master, you were already expelled from the Imperial Palace. If you continue doing it, you will eventually be sent out of the capital altogether. Why canʼt you just focus on cultivation like everyone else? Iʼm sure they will allow you to come back if you show results.”

Rean and Roan finally noticed that point.

ʼWait! Expelled? So this drag is Tissan?!ʼ

ʼNo wonder the Imperial Family wants to get rid of him so badly. Being a drag in the cultivation world should be quite a blow to the Imperial Familyʼs face.ʼ

Roan shook his head.

ʼBeing a drag definitely helped. However, even though I canʼt use Spiritual Sense at the moment, I can tell that Tissan is pretty weak. The information about him being at the Energy Gathering Realm is probably true. As for the guy who just entered...ʼ

Rean nodded.

ʼHeʼs most likely the Core and Soul Realm cultivator that I felt earlier. He might be some kind of personal guard of this guy. Now that I think about it, Calina also had three of these guards. That means this guy is part of the ten subordinate clans of the Imperial Family.ʼ

Roan agreed with him.

Tissan, seeing the look on the newcomerʼs face, sighed.

”Uncle Sam, we both know about my problem. It doesnʼt matter how much I cultivate. All the Spiritual Energy that I accumulate will dissipate like smoke. I bought a few items from the black market to try to fix this issue, but they only made me suffer without any result whatsoever.”

”Instead, why shouldnʼt I just enjoy what I like? So what if the Imperial Family is disgusted with me? Even before I started to want to wear these clothes, they had already discarded me anyway. I might as well go all out and enjoy the rest of my life to the fullest.”

The so-called Uncle Sam then looked at the corner of the room, where a lot of dust had been piled up behind a dresser. It was obvious that Tissan tried to hide it from him.

”Sigh... Then, whatʼs with all the Spirit Stone dust hidden there? Could it be that you like the feeling of Spiritual Energy around?”

Tissan was taken aback for a second before scratching the back of his head.

”Cough, cough... Thatʼs just because the black market items asked for a lot of Spiritual Energy.”

Uncle Sam smiled after hearing that.

”Even if it is, that means that you at least still want to be able to cultivate, isnʼt it?”

Tissan looked away, trying to avoid the old manʼs gaze. However, Uncle Sam continued to look straight at him. Finally, Tissan Sasamil gave up and said.

”Fine! I was trying to cultivate again. Happy? Anyway, why would you care? Did you forget the Imperial Familyʼs actual state with Fifth and First Brother Princes aiming for the throne? You should have been more worried about what will happen to your Fole Clan than me, right? After all, it still hasnʼt chosen a side to stay.”

Uncle Sam bitterly smiled after hearing that.

”There is little that an old man at the Initial Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm can do. My talent is lacking compared to others, after all. They definitely wonʼt ask anything from me. In that case, I might as well ignore whatʼs happening there.”

Tissan noticed that he misspoke. Itʼs just that every time someone talked about his cultivation, he would feel depressed.

”Sorry, Uncle Sam. The way your Fole Clan treats you isnʼt much better than how the Imperial Family treats me. I guess only you can understand how I feel.”

He was right. Uncle Sam only had a simple Brown Color Aptitude. It was thanks to the resources of a Subordinate Clan that he could reach the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. However, that was after a long period of cultivation. Because of that, no one in the Fole Clan expected much from him. Thatʼs also why he was chosen to protect someone without any prospects like Tissan. Of course, his situation was still better than Tissan, who couldnʼt even cultivate to start with.

Uncle Sam then shook his head.

”Of course not. There are many others like me. Anyway, why donʼt we try one more time? Perhaps it will work now.”

”Sigh... fine.”
