Death… And Me

Chapter 1401: How About You Guys Come Out?

Back on Reanʼs side, he was happy to see Falangia with her daughter and couldnʼt help but think, ʼI wonder how it would have been if Qia and I had started a family back in the Zasfin Planet.ʼ Though, thinking of that just made him miss the girl even more. However, Reanʼs thoughts didnʼt travel for long.

Thatʼs because his Divine Sense immediately caught something abnormal with Falangiaʼs daughter, which made his expression go dark in an instant. ʼFalangia wasnʼt kidding when she said that even kids werenʼt spared.ʼ His Divine Sense was able to check Falangiaʼs daughterʼs entire body, and with his healing skills, Rean got very used to the general anatomy of most humanoid races, not only humans. ʼShe isnʼt a virgin anymore...ʼ

Suddenly, Rean noticed a bunch of cultivators, females and males, making their way to the area where Falangia lived. Some of them would enter other houses while others would keep moving forward. Ultimately, a few of them stopped by Falangiaʼs house while the rest continued forward.

Rean used his Divine Sense in the first few houses those people entered and soon found out that they seemed to be charging taxes. The people in the houses were very afraid and didnʼt dare to not pay whatever was asked of them. ʼAre these guys part of the city guards or something like that? I thought this place didnʼt have such a thing.ʼ

Falangiaʼs concealing formation was a very simple one, capable of keeping out Divine Senses of at most Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivators. The leaders of that group were all in the Nascent Soul Realm, so they were able to see through it and find Falangia inside.

The men and women then barged into Falangiaʼs house without care, saying, ”This is Big Boss Gaiusʼ tax collection. One woman and one kid, the tax is half a Rank One Divine Stone.”

Falangia was taken aback by that, asking in response, ”What? Who the hell are you? What happened with Vincent?” At this moment, Falangiaʼs daughter hid behind her, obviously afraid. It was easy to tell that it wasnʼt the first time such a thing had happened, judging by the kidʼs expression.

The guy in the front smiled in response. ”We are Big Boss Gaiusʼ subordinates. He has taken control of this Yulital District, and everyone has to pay if they want to continue living here. As for Vincent, heʼs already dead.”

But even with that, Falangia shook her head. ”Half a Rank One Divine Stone? Are you crazy? How many people do you even think would have it in a place like this?”

The man laughed in response, saying, ”Hahaha! You would be surprised to see how many things half-dead people like you try to hide. In any case, you have two choices, pay or receive the consequences. However, there is naturally more than one way to pay, if you know what I mean.” His expression was way too obvious for Falangia. Not that she wanted to comply, but not only were they in bigger numbers, the man speaking was in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. She had absolutely no chance of resisting.

Falangia then sighed before she nodded, saying, ”Fine, I just have to serve all of you, right? Then, so be it...” 

She was just about to take her clothes when suddenly, the man shook his head as he replied, ”Youʼre very good, and you can definitely serve my friends here. However, I want the kid.”

”What?!” Falangia was taken aback and immediately pulled her daughter behind as she cursed back, ”Come and try to see if I donʼt kill you.”

The man snorted in response and immediately moved. He was way too fast for Falangia due to the difference in cultivation. Nevertheless, she gritted her teeth and tried to counter-attack. As for the guyʼs subordinates, they just laughed, knowing that Falangia couldnʼt possibly do anything against him. 

”Big Boss Gaius also likes kids, so heʼll probably enjoy this one as well.”

”Sheʼs done for.”

”What an idiot.”

Falangiaʼs counter-attack missed before the man hit her chest, sending her flying against the wall.

*Bang!*

*Cough, cough...*

She immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground while looking at the man. The guy had already grabbed her daughter, who knew way too well what was going to happen. She had experienced it before, and that definitely wasnʼt a cheerful memory.

However, it was at this moment that a ball of light suddenly appeared in the middle of the room. Naturally, it caught everyoneʼs attention.

”What is that?”

”Light Element?”

”Seems like it.”

”Who is using Yang Energy to control Light Element?”

”I canʼt see anything with my Divine Sense...”

That small ball of light then began to change its form, ultimately transforming into a fairy. If Roan was here, he would have identified the fairy straight away. She was just an exact copy of Rana, obviously Rean and Roanʼs sister. Of course, it wasnʼt Rana, just Light Element shaped like her.

That wasnʼt all. Everyone in the room then noticed that they couldnʼt move their bodies. Out of nowhere, a strong Divine Energy pressure locked them from all sides. They couldnʼt even talk.

The fairy then made her way to Falangiaʼs daughter and smiled, asking, ”Hello, cute one. Iʼm called Rana. Whatʼs your name?”

Even Falangia didnʼt know what was happening. Of course, she did remember Reanʼs Light Element power, but didnʼt he leave already?

The little girl then noticed that the man had taken his hand off her and was now standing there, doing nothing. ”Iʼm-Iʼm Rafatia.”

”Oh! Not only are you very cute, but you have a very cute name as well. Your mommy has very good taste,” the fairy said in response. ”Alright, because youʼre very cute, your big sister Rana will help you today. Why donʼt you go to your motherʼs side? Leave the big bad men and women to me.”

The fairy then touched Rafatiaʼs forehead, sending some gentle Light Element inside. It wasnʼt enough to cause arousal like Rean usually did for fun. It was just enough to make Rafatia feel comfortable and calm. ”A-Alright.”

Rana then looked at the men and women in the room and said, ”Now then. How about you guys come out?”
