59 Gnaw on It

Clair POV:

“Lilia, we've to wake up,” I said and hugged Lilia awake.

“Morning,” she said sleepily and gave me a pecked kiss. I kissed back and stood up.

“I'll go and wake Ilza,” I said after dressing and left the room while changing from Dex into Clair.

Our camp is a small stone house with three rooms, a bath and a kitchen, the kitchen has a rune-powered stove and fridge but no utensils, while the bath has a rune powered shower. The house is conjured by me and will when we're gone, act like one of these travelling rest places you can find in the woods. There is already a sign for passerby's.

We made countless of such houses on our way. And there is even a street connecting them.

I passed the kitchen. Drull was sitting on one of the stone chairs and read a book.

“Morning Master, was the night eventful?” He asked with a grin.

“I thought I installed sound suppressing runes?” I asked with an expression that showed faked bafflement. And then grinned.

“There are and they work, however, I learned enough in the last five years and one thing is that Master likes his °nights° with Lilia. Oh and such a grin is unsightly for a lady,” He said, also grinning.

“Are you reading a book about butlers?” I asked.

“Since Master said that I'm a disgrace as a butler I do anything to learn to be a better butler. And this book is about the things a butler has to pay attention if he serves a young lady,” he said and showed the cover of the book. °The Lady and Her Butler° is written on it.

“I think that is an erotic book,” I said with a laugh.

“Hmm, that would explain why the butler slept with the lady,” he said and put the book away and took another one out of his dimensional pocket. The cover said °What a Young Lady has to Learn°.

“Better?” He then asked.

“Yeah, but don't expect me to listen to you,” I said and started to walk to Ilza's room.

“Sure Master, but in public I have to act like a butler,” he said as I left and started to laugh.

I quietly opened the door of Ilza and sneaked inside.

Ilza was sleeping, hugging her pillow and also slightly drooling. She's wearing a pink pyjama with teddies on it. She's 19 years as of now but still acts like a child in some ways. I think it's her way of enjoying live. And I like someone with whom I can play.

“Morning,” I said and stroked her hair. I hate it when someone just comes in and shouts morning. People want to get woken up by a hug or some strokes. Even light pokes are better than an open door and a shout.

She stirred a little and then hugged me.

“Don't want to,” she said with closed eyes and pulled the blanket over us.

“Only five minutes,” I said and snuggled up to her.

“Clair, didn't you say that you'll wake Ilza up?” Lilia asked as she pulled the blankets away and at the same time flipping out of the bed.

I grumbled and Ilza said, “I said only five minutes.”

“That was an hour ago,” Lilia said and began to pull Ilza out of the bed.

“An hour?” I asked and got up.

“I don't want to stand up, it was so comfy,” Ilza protested but then fell out of the bed.

“Clair, could you please make breakfast? Drull is starving and fantasizes about young ladies he wants to eat,” Lilia said and began to put the mattress and blankets in her dimensional pocket.

“Yes,” I said and slowly walked to the kitchen.

“Drull what do you want to eat?” I asked and he opened his mouth but I interrupted him, “ no we're not going to catch some young ladies. You're allowed to eat bandits but no other humans. It would be bad if rumours were to sprout. And I don't like to kill females.”

For a few seconds, he only looked at me with blank eyes. He then used puppy eyes. He even changed his eyes, so that they are larger.

“These won't work, you're not a cute and fluffy animal,” I said.

“What about a young and pretty woman?” He asked.

“Pfft, as if. I have Lilia and am not such a starved pervert,” I answered.

“But Master is a pervert,” he said with a laugh.

“Yeah, but I can vent my perverted energy on Lilia or myself or clones or Ilza or random women,” I said and started to make scrambled eggs and other things.

“Doesn't that make you a starved pervert?” He asked and began to set the table.

“Of course not. I stop the harassing if they don't want it. But only if it's not Lilia, me, clones, Ilza or known random women,” I said and we both started to laugh.

Lilia and Ilza came few minutes later and we began to eat.

“So what is on today's schedule?” Ilza asked.

“Well my monthly visit at my parents house is today, do you want to come with me?” I asked.

“Sure why not, Lily is such a cute child,” Lilia said.

“Yeah you really want to nibble on her,” Drull said and got a smack on his head from me.

“No food jokes about my little sister,” I said.

“Yes Master,” Drull said and pulled the fork, that hit him as I smacked his head, out of his cheekbone.

“Couldn't you smack me a little softer?” He then asked and continued to eat.

“Are you a pussy?” I retorted.

“I think that was a rhetorical question,” Ilza said.

“So? He shouldn't ask if he doesn't want an answer,” I said.

“Damn, you're grumpy what happened?” Lilia asked.

“Someone woke me up in a rude manner this someone pulled the blanket from me and threw me out of the bed,” I said and stuffed my mouth with bread.

“Otherwise, Ilza wouldn't have woken up,” Lilia said with a smile.

Ilza stopped eating and made wide eyes while I glared at her.

“It's not my fault, she could have woken you first,” she hurriedly said and pointed at Lilia and I shifted my gaze to her.

“Tehee,” Lilia said and made a cute expression.

“Next time please use soft strokes,” I said and continued to eat.

“Anyway, I want to come with you,” Lilia said after a few minutes.

“Then we're also coming along,” Ilza said and Drull nodded.

“Okay, but we're going to fly fast,” I said and we finished our breakfast.

An hour later we already had travelled half the distance to my parents. Suddenly a strange phenomenon occurred in the sky.

It looked like the sky was ripping apart and yellow waves came out of the rift.

“What is that?” I asked but none could answer me.

The rift got larger until it was around four metres in diameter and 3 metres high.

And then a guy came through the rift, his hair was black. He was around 1.9 metres tall and muscular, yet thing. His clothes were something like green robes. They were highly decorated and had many ornaments and at his side was a sword.

He stood there in the air, like he was superman, just without the embarrassing costume.

The rift closed and he looked around, a moment later he spotted us and descended down.

“Grüße, mein Name ist Lu Tai. Ich bin ein Ancient Rang Kultivierer und wollte mal eine andere Welt besuchen. Wie ich sehe hast du drei schöne Frauen um dich, wie viel willst du für die Schönheit mit weißen Haaren?” He then said, clearly to Drull and not to all of us.

“Sorry I can't understand you,” Drull said with a shrug.

“Ah wieder Hölenmenschen, who aren't in der Lage, to understand mich,” he said and I could not really understand him. But some things were understandable, this is such a broken skill.

“Master do you understand what he says?” Drull asked me.

“Sorry, I got a skill but he must speak some more for me to understand him completely,” I answered.

“I, will, dieses gorgeous Frau,” the man then said and pointed at me and then at himself.

“I think he wants something from you, Master,” Drull said.

“Don't ignore me,” the men then said angrily as he noticed that Drull is ignoring him.

“He said you should not ignore him,” I translated.

Drull looked at the man and then made an apologetic gesture.

“Good, then I'll just take her,” the men said and tried to grab me but Drull moved between us and tried to stop the men. Sadly for Drull, the man just gave him a bitch slap and Drull flew away.

“Come with me beautiful Schönheit, I'll gebe you a perfektes life,” the men said and grabbed my arm.

just for a woman that might interest him. After a few uses he clothes them like

dolls and gives them paralysing poisons. He then delights himself by looking at them.

That is a real pervert.

“Hey, Lu Tai,” I the said in his language.

“Oh the beautiful maiden is able to verstehen mich,” he said.

“What do you want,” I asked.

“You. Come I'll give you a good life,” he said and tried to pull me away.

“Why should I?” I asked.

“Don't talk back, you're just a female, females should nod and accept what males tell them,” he said with a frown.

“I think not, you're like all so many wuxia stories indicate, a sexist,” I said and freed my arm.

“How dare you, behave like a normal woman and follow me, can't you see that I'm a high ranked cultivator?” He shouted with an ugly expression.

“Please shut up, you're just like a stupid monkey. Leave or I'll kill you,” I said.

“Hmpf, good then dont cry when I get a little rough,” he said and drew his sword.

“Ilza, Lilia I have to discuss something with this fellow, please wait a moment,” I said.

“Yes,” they answered and I rushed at him.

I was too fast for him to dodge and used his head as a plow for the next five kilometres of a field.

We reached a small forest, where I threw him through a few trees.

“Oh the bitch is able to resist, I like that,” he said and stood up. He looked completely fine.

This [Language Comprehension] is way too fast.

“Last warning, leave or die,” I said. I felt generous today, so I gave him two warnings.

“Ha, are you able to say such words when I mount you?” I said and rushed at me.

“Your fault,” I said and changed into Reaper Dex, which startled him.

“So you deceived me, you are some motherfucker and not a lovely maiden,” he said and something that energy began to flow out of him and surrounded him. It looked like the energy from Dragon Ball Z.

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

So that's Qi? I have to try to manipulate it at a later time. Maybe I'm able to perform a Kamehameha, that would be badass.

“Die, [Sword Blacer]!” He shouted and swung his sword at me. Normally the 50-metre distance would be a problem but an arc of Qi shoot from his sword and came at me.

“Cool,” I said and raised an earth wall to block the Qi. Well, the wall was cut and I was too bored to evade so the Qi wave continued and cut my arm off.

“A conjurer eh? Sadly such a little wall wouldn't block my attack,” he said arrogantly.

I jumped on the broken wall and looked at him.

“Oh, too slow to evade?” He said smugly.

I just smiled and activated my regeneration runes. Normally my runes are off. It's boring if you aren't able to feel anything and too high of an intelligence and wisdom isn't really good, too much thinking.

His mouth opened wide as he saw my arm regenerating like Piccolo, just without the shouting and sweating.

“I may not be able to do that yet, but I can make something similar,” I said and changed my hand into a dragon claw.

I took a swing, activated my agility and strength runes, crouched down and moved my arm, as fast as I can, in the same arc as he did with his sword.

°BOOOOOOMMM°

Next time I should hold back a little....

The guy was cut in two, or more like he was gone. The earth in front of me was also gone, the same with the trees and the small hill a few kilometre in the front of me or the small mountain on the horizon, even the clouds in the sky were gone.

“And here I thought he might survive that,” I said and turned around but the moment before I started to walk I heard some sound from my back.

So I turned around and could see how the guy came out of the ground, completely tattered and bloody.

“°Cough°, luckily I the protection ring activated in time,” he said and then looked up.

His face got white and his legs started to tremble. What he saw must have frightened him to death, so I turned around and looked but there was nothing.

“Y..you... how can you stand there like nothing happened? Such an attack must have used a large amount of your Qi,” he said completely terrified.

“Such an attack? That was just a swing of my arm, say do you have inter-spacial rings or other things where you stow your belonging?” I asked with a smile and began to walk in his direction.

He stumbled back and fell down.

“Do you?” I asked again.

“Just... a swing?” He asked slowly and I reached him.

“Do you?” I asked again.

“D..do I... what?” He asked.

“Do you have something where you store your belongings? I may let you live if you give them to me,” I said.

“I.. I do have a spatial ring, I'll give it to you if you let me alive,” he said and began to put a ring on his finger off.

“Here, you have to put some of your Qi infused blood on it to bound it to you. Can I go now?” He asked with a trembling voice and gave me the ring.

“Sure,” I said and cut his head off. He still had a relieved look as he died.

“I think I should dissect you,” I then said and put him in my inventory.

This wuxia story worlds are full of sexism. And not only against the women. Women are mostly weak and weak-willed in these stories. Their only job is to birth children and do what men say. It's even so stupid that they will kill themselves if they get raped or seen naked by other men. I once read a story where a mother killed herself after she get raped and left her newborn baby. If the baby wasn't the MC he would have starved to death. But also, the men are described in a sexist way. They are stupid muscle heads that only think about sex, new women and strength. I hope that these are only exaggerations from the authors. And will not happen too often. But it sure is cool to know that these stories can be real. I hope I can find something like a Qi core in this guy and copy him. How cool would it be to have Qi and Mana?

“And? Was that loud boom and the disappearing of the mountain part of your discussion?” Ilza asked with a mischievous smile.

“Kinda, he even survived that,” I said and saw Drull coming back.

“He did what?” Lilia asked baffled.

“Well he was stronger than Drull and I think he used some kind of item for protection. It didn't rescue him a second time,” I said.

“Thanks, Master, he just slapped me. Such a rude fellow,” Drull said and picked Ilza up so that we can continue our fly to my parents.

“He tried to abduct me and use me as a puppet in his excursion,” I said and picked Lilia up.

“Creepy,” Ilza said.

“Jup, but thanks to him I might learn some new things. Did this guy was over five hundred years old,” I said and we took off.

“Five hundred?” Lilia asked.

“Might be the Qi in him,” I said.

“What is Qi?” Drull asked.

“Something like mana,” I answered and looked at the language skill I got from him. It already rose to LV: 3, which is enough for almost any conversations.

At noon, we reached the village of my parents and knocked at their door.

“Coming,” I heard from inside and shortly after a tired looking mom, who was holding Lily in her arms, opened the door.

“Oh Clair and company, hi, come in, come in,” she said with a smile and led us inside.

We went to the living room and my two of my clones were sitting on a chair. One changed into a woman, around mom's age and the other was a baby girl. It's a girl so that Lily will have a friend and not a potential lover.

“This is Clara, our neighbour and the cute and not crying girl in her arms is her daughter Claris.

She and her husband Dexter moved to the village a week after Lily's birth. Dexter is a guard, while Clara is, like me, now a full-time mother,” mom explained with a smile.

“Nice to meet you, as Maia said, I'm Clara. It's truly nice to meet the goddess,” Clara said.

Ilza's head snapped in my direction but she didn't say anything.

“Nice to meet you,” Lilia said with a smile.

“Hi,” Ilza said and Drull bowed with a grin.

“So mom, how is it to be a real mother?” I asked with a smile, looking at her stacked eye rings.

“One one side it is wonderful, holding her in my arms makes me really glad and proud. But on the other side, she didn't let us sleep for the last three weeks, constantly crying. Do you know what we're doing wrong? I mean she has her crib and own room. I'm also feeding her before she goes to bed. Normally it would only be her diapers but they often aren't dirty,” she asked with pleading eyes.

“Let her sleep with you in your room. It might be that she's afraid because she can't hear you,” I suggested.

“When she's crying let her sleep on your chest, your heartbeat will calm her down,” I added and took Lily out of her arms.

Now she's cute, round baby face, a few, down like blond hair on her head and large green eyes.

She looked at me and made these cute tongue movements that babies often do.

“I like her, you can keep her,” I said and put my finger in her mouth. She greedily started to bite and suck on it.

“That's good, and here I thought I have to give her away,” mom said with a laugh and went to the kitchen, making tea.

“Why did you put your finger in her mouth?” Ilza asked.

“No real reason, I just like it when babies bite with their non-existing teeth on it. It feels funny and it seems like she likes it,” I said and tickled Lily.

“She's cute,” Lilia said and stroked Lily's head.

“What is this dent on her head?” Ilza asked.

“I also want to know that, why is there a dent in her head? At first, I was frightened but the other mothers in the village said that that is normal,” mom said as she came back with a tray of tea.

“This dent is called fontanelle, it is a remnant of the birth preparation the baby has before it gets born and for the grow of the brain. There are more than one, one is at the middle, one is at the backside of the head and one on each side of the back and front side. So in total six,” I said.

“What do they do?” Ilza asked curiously.

“The skull of a baby is not like us, they don't have one bone, it is split into parts. These parts are moveable and move during birth so that the bones don't break and injure the baby. After birth, they give the brain enough room to grow and will grow together to be one. It's possible to see the lines when you see a skull without skin and meat. It will take around three months for the back fontanelle, 18 months for the side ones and from two to three years for the large middle one.

It's important to not push on these places and nothing should hit it. There is nothing between the skin and the brain so each hit can damage the brain. Luckily it's not normal to push on it during the normal life so it's mostly not a problem,” I explained.

“So it does that, interesting,” mom said and yawned.

“Mom go to bed, we'll look after Lily for you!” I said.

“But,” she began, however, I interrupted her.

“No buts, go to bed, look Lily enjoys my company,” I said and showed her a smiling and giggling Lily that gnawed on my finger.

“Okay, thanks,” she then said and excused herself.

“So why is a clone here?” Drull asked quietly after mom was gone.

“Not one, I think three,” Ilza said.

“Three?” Lilia asked.

“Dexter, Clara and Claris,” Ilza said and Claris and Clara nodded.

“You can transform into a baby?” Lilia asked shocked.

“Sure, but, more importantly, aren't these names way too obvious?” I said.

“We couldn't think of anything better and we were depressed with the no meat rule,” Clara said.

“No meat rule? Are you torturing them?” Lilia asked shocked.

“Please Origin, let us eat at least beef and fish,” Clara pleaded and Claris had tears in her eyes.

“Okay, but only when nobody sees you,” I said and Clara thanked Lilia exuberantly.

“Did something happen?” I then asked.

“No, the guards continue to hunt monster and we got accepted into the village community,” Clara said.

“Good, you can go now. And you Claris, I expect from you to be a good best friend, we will exchange memories when Lily is four,” I said and they left.

“Good, you can do what you want, I have to play with this cute thing in my arms,” I said and began to play with Lily.

“Yes Lily, this is one tasty little finger, gnaw on it to your hearts content. Bit the finger,” I said, encouraging her, with surprisingly worked. Maybe [Persuade] even works on babies?
