Life Drain System

    A few moments later while she is drawing the blueprints, she thinks. 'Hmm, if we are going to use massive rockets to adjust the rotation, and alignment of the planet, maybe we can make the moon have an ai keeping track of the orbit, and realigning the planet when needed. Not to mention that we could probably make a small world inside the moon as a playground, or just for everyday use. That seems like a great idea, however the power consumption will be far greater, unless...'

    [About 2 Hours Later]

    'Wow, so the marriage customs of this world are quite similar to the ancient ones of my old world. Starting with the 3 letters and 6 etiquettes, then moving onto the wedding tea ceremony, joining of hair, and finally the post wedding rituals. Unfortunately, some of those will be a bit difficult in my case, but oh well.' Yueliang thinks to himself as he walks out of a room, saying. "Granpda, I will see, you soon, but I need to see the others and check on the progress really quick." 

    Walking down the hall, he comes to a door, where he exits the building. Then upon exiting the building Yue proceeds across the gardens back to the main building of the castle. Of course not wanting to waste anymore time than needed, once in the middle of the garden, he closes his eyes as he takes a step forward, thus folding space with the void steps into the room of the orcs and goblins.

    Inside which he makes his way towards Blake who seems to be in her own room at the moment, of which he found out by guessing, and out of habit. Then he says. "Hello Blake, how is the progress so far? Have you found where we are moving the planet to?"

    Without even raising her head, she answers. "Yes, and it seems we did not need to travel there first, but be warned this will be a bit of a risky trip. Anyways, I take it you have come here to tell myself and the others that everything is ready?"

    "Good guess, it is almost ready, and I also wanted to know the progress. So can you take a break? If so we should gather up the others to get ready for the ceremony."

    *Sigh. Blake sighs before raising her head, turning her chair to the left to face Yue before saying. " It seems that you have missed something important in our words. We, meaning everyone except Ai Lan, and the kunoichi lady did say that we would marry you. However we never said today, although we will go to your first wedding with Ai Lan. You likely did not notice but this was the plan from the start, as it will make it more romantic and intimate with each of us. Not to mention we are no longer having impending doom, so long as everything works out." She explains her reasoning before turning back to her work.

    Hearing this, Yue asks. "So I guess you are still busy? I will come back to let you know when it begins then. Sorry for the misunderstanding, although I do look forward to that time. See you soon." Then without allowing for a reply, he folds space out of the room over to Ai Lan.

    Appearing behind Ai Lan, he sees the council still here talking with her in the throne room as if they had not moved a centimeter since he left them. However at least now is seems that both sides are involved, instead of just her talking.

    'I wonder why they have yet to leave? Should they not be collecting other cultivators or materials to help? Or evecuating the planet should that be their preference?' He wonders to him before realizing that he will not get any answers if he does not go forward and ask.

    So doing exactly that, Yueliang walks up to the table with a wave and saying. "Hello, how are things going over here?"

    Turning around, Ai Lan sees Yue, and replies. "Hi, it is going great. They have already sent out messages to their respective Sects for materials and aid. The materials are still on constant delivery to the room under the guidance of the guards, and the help is already on its way. It just took a bit longer since they had to finish up some things. However one of them has already arrived as you can tell."

    The new person at the table gives a light bow to pay his respect to the prince who follows suit and comments. "Thank you all for agreeing to help, and doing all of this."

    However to his surprise, the stranger answers for them all causing them to nod after he says. "No need to thank us so much. It is an honor for us to be able to save the planet that we live on and sustains us. To save those not as strong as ourselves, who would not be able to make it out in time but would die as casualties without knowing how or why they died. Plus, it is not often that we get to stretch our bodies, or use the materials we have saved up in our youth but no long have a use for."

    With that said, Yueliang answers in a way he would regret but not yet knows. "Well, hopefully one day I may be able to help you as you are helping us." 

    When Ai Lan hears this, she keeps a straight face but in her heart thinks. 'Oh my poor brother, you have been manipulated and did not even realize. No matter how pure, innocent, or naïve I may be, even I can see this much. But I guess we all have to learn sometime, not that I really have the right to say that, as I have been raised as a protected child all of my life.'

    The council hides their smiles that could cover their entire body as they say something in unison but in different ways. "This is but a small matter compared to the favor of a prince. So we thank you in advance and will not be humble."

    It was with these words, that he realizes. 'Ah not again! My people are right, and although I knew this, it seems I keep making the same mistake of thinking that others are trustworthy and not all out for personal gain. Well it is too late now, as I have given my word. Oh well, at least there are two ways to semi fix this.'

    With such thoughts, he says with a sincere smile. "By the way, I would like to show you the progress. So if you would all please come with me." He says as he starts walking to the door but stops after noticing them all following him. "Sis if you could ask gramps about the progress on his end that would be great, he is across the gardens in one of the building. As for the rest of you, I thought about it and it seems wrong to make our guests walk such a distance so please grab my hand as well as each others." He adds with a trusting expression.

    Having fooled the prince once and realizing his naivety the group does as he says feeling that he would likely not try anything unseemly to get out of his deal with them, not to mention they are far stronger than he is.

    Although before the last one who is holding the others hands clasps Yueliangs' he asks. "Just curious why must we hold hands? Your grandfathers teleportation does not have such a condition from what we have seen in the past war long ago when we were young disciples."

    "Oh, of course, how careless of me. My skill is different from grandpas', mine is something I learned not long ago but is far different. However it surely will not disappoint in comparison. So shall we get going?" Yueliang asks.

    Feeling the agitation of those behind him, the man finally clasps the young princes hand, and before they could even blink they found themselves surrounded by darkness in an enclosed tunnel on either side. But as if that were not enough, the pressure on their bodies instantly squashed everyone save the prince to the ground. 

    One of those on the council looks to his right against the wall, he sees the prince casually leaning against the wall as if it were just another day, and he felt nothing. Seeing this the council member says in her soft voice. "Please help us my prince. It was our mistake." She struggles to speak but says such words after having realized the prince would have only done this for one reason and is not as stupid as they took him for.

    Looking at his hand and seeing some dust having fallen on it, he responds while brushing it off. "Oh but what need does the council have of a young prince who is too naïve? After all, if you can just use and manipulate others to get what you want, why not do that?"
