"What! How is this possible?"

[Ding! Based on the speed the sphere was traveling and the time you were in the void, the distance covered is ten times bigger than the Seeking Continent.]

'Goodbye to my sect trials. If I had known then I would have to spend my last years going toward another direction. No wonder the system does not know where I am. I have no map of this place.

I needed to heal the women's bodies and in the meantime figure out how to let Shu Er walk on her own.

Shu Er looked sad, I could observe her through my soul. 'Sigh' I guess for a beautiful woman losing a leg and a hand is not acceptable at all. Shu Yi was also feeling down without her arm, but still, she was better off than her little sister was since she could still walk.

We walked for several hours towards the shadow of the city we spotted. We had been through a lot during the travel, so I tended their wounds and camp out for the day. The night was approaching; we were staring up at the dark sky. Shu Er opened her mouth to talk.

"Master, will I have to stay like this forever?" Shu Er voice pierced through my mind. I was blaming myself, how weak I was.

"Don't you know how awesome your master is? I will heal you so don't worry about it and go to sleep," I said turning my head to look into her eyes.

We stared for some minutes until her eyes closed; she had fallen asleep. She was exhausted.

"What are your thoughts, Shu Yi?" I could see her frowning.

"I don't understand you at all Master. What kind of person are you? You kill without batting an eye, you show no kind of emotion, and sometimes you behave like an adult sometimes as a kid. You are too hard to understand, you could have left us behind as we are just slaves yet you did not. You protected us. Why? It's so confusing." Shu Yi's hand was grabbing her heart all the time while she spoke.

"Honestly? I do not know. I just know I will protect you both the best I can. You both are mine; I do not consider you slaves with no kind of value. The moment I sealed both your souls you were my followers. As your Master, it is important for me to care about you."

"Is it only this?" Shu Yi asked in a soft voice.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

I knew what she was getting at. I may not love them but I cared about them. Even if they were not useful, I will make them be useful. In my mind even though they had my seal, they were not different from any other follower I had. Just that it was more convenient with the seal for safety purposes. In addition, I could talk to them through it.

"Don't worry about it for now. Eventually, it will happen naturally." That was the best answer I could give her.

Shu Yi smiled, turned her head around and faced the sky.

"Good night,"

...

It was morning; it improved the mood a little. We could not eat since the Black Star Flame burned everything in my inventory. There was no beast in sight in this vast plain.

We continued in the direction of the city.

During our walk, we saw nothing strange, nor a beast. The only suspicious thing was that we did not get close to the city. Roughly, 6 hours later and the city had the same size.

'Don't tell me now it trap us? Why can't things be normal?'

...

"Master, what are we going to do?"

3 days of walking brought us nothing. We did not see a beast, an animal or a person. This place was too strange. The sky, the sun, the moon, the stars, they had the same position. Nothing moved. I went crazy and destroyed the plains. I created deep craters; I exploded the ground. I used every kind of idea in my head. The following day everything I had destroyed recovered as if I had done nothing.

'This place is too strange... If we didn't find a solution Shu Yi and Shu Er will starve to death.'

"Master, look! The sky!" shouted Shu Yi.

A tear appeared in the sky followed by a ray of light descending to the vast green plain.

A young man appeared carrying a giant ax. He was quite far away, so he did not notice us in distance.

The young man laughed, "It seems I arrived here first. I can't wait for the rest of them to come here."

I was about to approach him when another tear appeared in the sky. A new young man descended, his clothes were clean, different from the person carrying the giant ax and he was handsome. From his posture, he was someone from a rich family, probably some kind of young master. The worst kind one had to deal with; they bring too many troubles.

Two more tears opened in the sky, this time two girls appeared. They were both inferior in looks to my Shu Yi and Shu Er, but I had to say they were also good looking and had nice bodies.

"We are the first four to pass?" said one of those girls.

"I guess they will take some time. It's awesome for someone as dumb as you to pass," The young man mocked the girl who just talked.

'I guess they don't have a good relationship. Who cares about their relationship; I need to know where the hell I am'

I approached them while they were discussing with each other.

"Excuse me, I'm lost. Do you know where we are?" I said innocently.

The four of them jumped back and aimed their weapons at me; I did not expect this kind of reaction.

"Who are you?" The young man with the giant ax asked.

"Idiot! The test must have started already."

"He's right. Don't you see the two women, they are way over the minimum age to be able to take part. It must relate him to the test."

"Should be we kill it..." The small girl said.

"Not, don't you see his cultivation? I cannot see it. He must be a very strong puppet. I guess the mission must be to help him. Perhaps this test is a group test?"
