Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!

"My instincts…"

"Instincts, you said…" The boy looked at the middle-aged man with a speechless look on his face. At first, he thought it was a lie, but seeing the unbothered look in his eyes, he realized one thing.

'This guy… he doesn't care about anything else besides slacking.'

"Hahaha!!!" Just as that thought struck his mind, the boy could not stop himself and started laughing out loud. Wiping the tear from the corner of his eye, he asked, "What is your name, old man? I am sure it's not Black Sword."

"Old man? Me?" The captain stopped in the middle of his yawn, his eyes suddenly turned sharp, surprising the intruder.

He expected the man to jump at him and attack all of a sudden. But instead, the captain simply sighed and scratched the back of his head. "Oh, whatever… I don't remember. I have a very bad memory. I tend to forget things after a short period of time. It has always been like that for a long time."

"So it seems..." The boy replied with a vigilant look on his face. 'His aura certainly shifted for a moment when I called him old man, but it went away as soon as it came. What was that about?'

"Captain Black Sword is something that everyone started to call me when they did not know how to address me." The captain raised his sword before adding, "But I have a Daoist name that I did not forget among other things."

"Huh? What is it? The Forgetful Man?" Waving it off, the young man turned his face away from the captain.

"That does not matter anymore. You have already gotten the answers to what you want. Surrender now, *Yawn~* I will bring you to the Emperor for your judgment."

"Why would I do that?" The intruder tilted his head and winked at the captain.

"Are you going back on your word? Don't make me work…" The captain looked at the boy and sighed in dejection. His hand reached out for his blade.

*Clang!*

"Even if I have to work for it, you will be captured here." The demeanor of Captain Black Sword suddenly started to change. His eyes seemed a little droopy, but he did not move them away from the intruder. "And I am stronger than you…."

*Boom!*

A huge golden aura came crashing down on the boy, changing the expression on his face.

*Cracks!*

The ground beneath his feet started to crackle as his knees buckled under the heavy pressure boring down on him.

"I don't understand why you even came here. After all, you are weak." Seeing the state of the young man's body, the captain asked seriously, "Are you a diversion and is there someone else who infiltrated this place?"

The captain's words brought a smile to his face. The trembling of his body suddenly stopped. With a grin plastered on his face, the boy replied, "I am indeed a diversion but…"

*Bang!*

As if sensing something, the man jumped back, holding his straw hat. Right in front of his eyes, the body of the boy exploded into a gray mist.

"… There is not anyone else who entered this place besides me." As the mist started to disperse, no traces of the boy were left, but his voice echoed in the garden.

"We will meet soon, but till then, I will have fun with others. After all… I cannot fight with the last boss at the start." With those words, the boy disappeared into the wind.

"Sigh~ Why do I have to find you now? This is just more work… I want to rest…" Staring at the empty spot where the boy disappeared, the captain suddenly fell to his knees.

"I shouldn't have returned from my break… Emperor Wuhan, please grant me another leave!!!" Despair filled his lifeless eyes as he slammed his hands on the ground.

*Woosh!*

Before the middle-aged man could curse his fate anymore, his eyes caught sight of something right above the castle.

"Just what is your purpose, boy? This is no longer an intrusion…" The lazy captain muttered to himself, seeing the huge veil of white sheet covering the whole Royal Estate with the palace as the center. "This is just a declaration of war against the emperor himself!"

*Clatter!!*

"Search for the intruder! He is somewhere in the Royal Palace!" Hearing the commotion along with the footsteps coming in his direction, the captain stood up from the ground.

"What is that?"

"The Royal Palace is under attack?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Experience new tales on empire

Disappearing from his spot, the middle-aged captain appeared behind the soldiers looking at the veil spreading all around the palace. "No use panicking, the number of intruders is unknown. Soldiers are to search the parameters of the Royal Palace."

"Captain Black Sword?!"

"Captain, you have returned from your break!" All the guards almost cried upon seeing the middle-aged man standing in front of them.

"You all…" Hearing their words, the captain's lazy eyes shifted from the castle to their faces. There was a look of expectation and eagerness on their faces, "Who are you?"

"Wah, Captain, still the same as ever. He did not change at all."

"Waa! How much I would give to be remembered by the Captain!" If before they all looked on the verge of crying, at this moment they were all bawling their eyes out.

"Stop crying… are you even soldiers?!" Suddenly a booming sound caused everyone to stop crying and turn their heads to the most burly-looking man in the area.

His body was more than half bigger than any of them.

"We have an emergency at hand and besides." The man clenched his fists and added, "We should be glad that the Captain did not forget his way back home. Captain, we are the soldiers under your command!"

All the soldiers were moved by his speech and they all nodded eagerly.

"You say that but your snot is all over your face." The captain pointed at the guard's face without even thinking twice.
