Lazy Immortal

Ch 18 Compensating?

"Guests, if you are here to help with the beast tide. Please, continue along that way until you reach the guard mansion. If you are here regarding the mission, please follow me." An attendant said in a polite voice as he turned around and walked into the mansion. The trio soon followed, they were guided to a guest mansion of the family and allotted a room each. The mansion had a common courtyard and a common dining hall and a huge lobby. The lobby was littered with cushions and tables, maids and servants were serving wines and some dishes to the people in the lobby. A particular man with a huge sword by his side was getting far more attention from the servers and other people, there were a few beauties throwing flirtatious glances at the man while a few men were trying to chalk up a conversation with him. This man was 20 years old and was at late Ki condensing realm. He noticed the trio that had entered the room, to him, this particular group was very peculiar. A masked man who looked way too young to be of any high level, a young beauty with a warm face clearly of fire school and a cold faced man of Long clan. The group didn't even cast a second glance at the man as the took a seat in a secluded corner and signaled for a maid.

"What is going on in the village?" Jiang Long asked the maid.

"Lords may have not heard about the beast tide of the beast mountains. Every decade, a huge number of beasts would descend the mountains and ravage the lands around the mountains. Every time a roar of a mortal core beat would be heard a week before the beast horde arrives. The roar was heard 3 days ago, and the tide will arrive 4 days from now." The maid slowly explained the commotion outside as she poured tea for the trio. "If lords are unsure of your safety. The Fan clan allows anyone to leave the village. Lords can return after the tide has passed." The maid said as she handed the tea to the trio.

Lan Long lifted his mask just above his mouth and took a sip. The maid immediately knew that he was no more than 15 years of age. Lan Long took out a small cup size of a thumb and poured the tea into it. He then took out another bowl as small as the little finger and poured a few drops of tea into it. Soon, a tiny cat and palm sized hamster appeared, the hamster took the tiny cup and drank it in a very human like fashion while the kitten licked the tea with her cute little tongue. The maid unconsciously petted the hamster and kitten, before freaking out. It was considered a taboo to touch someone beast without their consent. Many cultivators had lost their lives to such an offence, there was a Clan which as their specialty was into beast taming, they would tame many beasts and nurture them to their best potential. Soon, each member of the Clan had tens of beast at minimum while the elder and the stronger people would have hundreds or even thousands. The name of this Clan was Jing, they were situated a few million miles from the village and would participate in the beast tide without fail. The younger generation of the clan would capture many beast for themselves and the clan. Since, it was a major help, none of the other clans minded their interference. There were clans the excelled in speed, puppetry, strength, defense, and even sexual cultivation. There were other infamous clans such as soul charm clan, blood clan, black lotus clan and the golden arrow. The soul charm clan had an illusion technique which would rid the cultivator of his conscious mind, turning him into a mindless puppet. The blood clan member could only increase their cultivation by absorbing blood Ki, for this reason their members would often go on killing sprees and massacres. The black lotus clan was in comparison very tame, they used poison as their weapon, which was a branch of alchemy. They were not considered evil like the other two clans but their victims never died a clean death. If someone ever offended a poison master, they would live in constant fear of poison. Sometimes, the victim wouldn't even realize that he was poisoned until he suffered from organ failure or until it's too late.

"Brother Lazy, Little Qing looks quite big for her age. Did you use a medicine of some sort?" Su Ming asked. The little cat had grown too quickly, it had been a little over a month but the kitty was almost fully grown. Her body was covered with pure white fur which was luxurious to touch. It was soft and had a sleek silkiness to it unlike Little Kong who was a ball of soft fluff.
