The start of book 2!

Enjoy~

In a luxurious penthouse, an old man having long white hair and beard, almost touching the ground, wearing white robes, and having a bottle of alcohol in one hand, all the while, standing in the middle of the pool, by his balcony, looking over the capital of the Philippines, Manila.

            Every now and then he would take small sips from the bottle, like he was waiting for something to appear, and something did appear. Behind him, just by the edge of the pool, appeared a beautiful woman with red hair and eyes, while carrying a child.

            The old man turned around and gave a warm smile before leading the both of them inside his house. After, putting the child in one of the rooms, the old man and woman we’re now seating in front of each other. The old man was still taking small sips from his bottle, while the woman was drinking water.

            “You do know what you are getting into right?” the old man said as the atmosphere turned serious, putting his bottle down on the table.

            “Yes” the woman answered resolutely.

            “Humanity will become your enemy. The Phoenix Clan can no longer save you. This is your last chance to go back”

            “No, I promised Lucifer that I would take good care of the child and I will”

            “Then, I shall respect your wishes”

            “Thank you”

            “However, when the child awakes do not contradict on what he will call you. I believe you’ve heard that the golden medicinal ball is also for containing his dangerous memories right?”

            “Yes, Lucifer said it once but never explained it”

            “Then, allow me to enlighten you. How old do you think he is?”

            “Ten years old right?”

            “Normally that is how he looks…You have heard about what happened to that “man” right?”

            “Yes, everyone in the four guardian clans and leaders of humans, beast and demons know about it”

            “Do you know what happened to that Black-Red Pillar?”

            “No”

            “That Black-Red Pillar is a combination of all the Qi that those armies used to constrict him in the formation. It was unknown on how he turned the Qi of other into his own. Now, as you might have guessed that child is his son, and that black-red pillar, was his fathers accumulated Qi that he sent to his child. An inheritance if you will”

            “WAIT?! Then doesn’t that mean that child is almost ten thousand years old?!”

            “Exactly, we do not how much that Qi affected his body, but even now, his appearance never grew to more than a ten-year old. However, his father did not only transferred his Qi, but also his memories”

            “His father’s memories?”

            “Yes, countless memories of pure slaughter! That child had to endure, it drove him mad. But, worse of all, along with those slaughter memories, came slaughter techniques and art, even forbidden ones”

            “That’s….”

            “You’ve experienced it firsthand right? You questioned yourself, how he would give a warm smile while, on a slaughtering spree”

            “Yes. Then, what about him asking people about his mother’s saying, the sealed Qi, and his natural strength?”

            “That’s where rehabilitation started, after discovering this. His mother immediately casted a series of powerful formations to seal his dantian, meridians, and memories. It ached her heart, not seeing her son able to tread on the Immortal Path that is why ever since that day, after an uncountable series of failures, finally made the medicinal balls to unlock the formations on her child, while enhancing the formation on his memories only. Of course before this happened, she had trained her child to increase his bodily strength, making him stronger than most Immortals when it comes to pure strength. Also, she made him remember twelve rules to abide by, but I do not know those rules”

            “I see. How do you know all these?”

            “That, I cannot tell you. Now, enough about that, I will now tell you our next step. Listen carefully”

            “Yes”

            “A month from now, we will board a cruise ship from the Philippines going to London. From there, young master will take one of the schools entrance exam”

            “However, I and the child do not have passports to enter such a country. Plus, once I am seen there, people would surely recognize me”

            “No need to worry, everything has been taken care off”

            “Then, a question. What school will the child take in London?”

            Before he could reply, the child had come out of the room and looked at the two adults with his heterochromia eyes of black and red. The child first looked at the old man with a feared look, but when he saw the woman, a warm and cute smile formed on his face and directly ran towards her, and hugged her.

            The old man only gave a small laugh, leaving the woman completely stunned. Nonetheless, she kneeled down and hugged the child back. After separating, the child and the woman was now facing each other face to face.

            “Do you know who I am?” the woman asked.

            “Of course, you’re Mommy May!” the child said happily.

            “Yes, yes, I am your Mommy May. Do you remember the twelve rules I told you?”

            “Yes!”

            “Can you recite them?”

            “Yup. One, Always listen to Mommy. Two, always trust Mommy. Three, never attract attention. Four, always conceal my cultivation, when I go on my Immortal Path. Five, never use violence unless needed. Six, never, ever trust strangers, especially ones from the Demon, Beast or Human race only those ones from the Heavenly race are trustable. The other six I can’t seem to remember. Sorry Mommy”

            “It is fine my son, now I and your grandfather need some time to talk, please go back to your room”

            “Yes mother” the child said while going back to the room.

            “AHAHAHA, you are very fitting to be in the motherly role”

            “I guess, this would mean he is currently stable?”

            “Yes, as long as nothing happens to the formation and more importantly to you”

            “Too me?”

            “As you can see, young master already treats you as his mother, and he would always follow your orders. To him, you are his world, his life. What would happen if you we’re to get hurt?”

            “Slaughter” was the only word she could mutter when he heard the old man’s question.

            “Yes, once you are hurt in any way possible the formation would undoubtedly break, and all suppressed memories of slaughter and techniques would come flowing into his mind. Making him a killing machine that would certainly eradicated humanity, demons and beast. Young master’s life is very important, though he is only starting in his Immortal Path, his body has already been forged by his mother. However, not can be the same as you, since you have accepted to be his mother, then you would need to increase your strength. That is why starting tomorrow, you will have to teach young masters the basic of the Immortal Path, explaining to him the basic, after that I would be training you, since you are from the Phoenix Clan, this would be easier considering your blood is purest”

            “I understand”

            “Good. Now take a rest with young master and we’ll start tomorrow”

            As the woman stood up and went to the room where the young child was, the old man disappeared from his seat and was now back standing in the middle of the pool, gazing at the night sky, with a face full of smile.
