Chapter 11 Planning

When Dini arrived at her house, she quickly take off all her clothes and dive in the wooden bath tub. This water usually only get changed 3 day once and she use this to take a bath daily.(this need to be mentioned so you guys out there know there's a maiden bath water here.)

As soon as she dip down in the tub,the water quality turn black and oily frightened her. Then she remembered what Lucis said and stay in the tub washing all the dirt on her whole body.

After half an hour, she step out and look at the water in the tub. It's oily and black smell like a toilet.

"I just changed it yesterday." she frown pinching her nose.

She took a clothes and wipe her body but she quickly frozed. She turn around looking at her skin on her whole body feeling incredulous.

All her skin is smooth and fairy, it even smell like flower too. She poke her hand feeling her skin and it's smooth and soft.

She always feel jealous of how Luna skin look so beautiful than her. She didn't have to work hard like the rest of them under the sun and she doesn't have to help in the farm. Now her skin look more beautiful than her, she feel like a fairy. she even smug a little.

She quickly wear clothes and ran to the living room.

"grandma, grandma!" she make a commotion in the house while running smacking anything in her way.

"what is this girl up too again this time." Two old woman look about in their 50 sitting on the table fiddling with some kind of dried plants. This is the village chief main income besides selling chicken and eggs. Picking herb in the mountains and preserve it until the merchant come to the village. They gain about 30 to 50 silver every time they sold all the herbs.

Without warning, Dini ran to her grandma and ram against her with a big smile.

"grandma Du, grandma Lin, look at me look at my skin!" she shout directly at her grandmother ear.

"aish this kid, I'm gonna die soon if you continue like this." she almost feel off the chair.

"look, look, aren't I'm beautiful? Loom at my skin!" she stand and spin around showing off her beauty. sadly, her dress is so ugly that the spinning effect have no miss universe aura in it.

"Hm, how is that happened?" grandma Du look at Dini surprised. She look like a fairy if not for the fact that she wore ragged clothes full of patches.

"my God, you become a fairy." grandma Lin remember the immortal fairly she saw ages ago when she still following around elder Dun as a merchant.

They throw her a lot if questions while appreciating her beauty. How are they not surprised. They never seen someone look as beautiful as their granddaughter. Add more year, she will be unparalleled beauty.

Evening come and Elder Dun and his third wife come home, another commotion in their house happened as they interrogate her.

"he truly is immortal, even the medicine he made is so magical." elder Dun stroke his beard appreciating Dini beauty.

"he even gave us a good coin before. He must be rich." grandma Lin the first wife look at Dini feeling more proud than ever. After all, Dini is the daughter of her own daughter. Her direct bloodline.

"do you think he maybe.. like our Dini? After all, he gave her precious elixir." the second wife, grandma Du caressing Dini hand. Feeling smooth indeed.

"husband, should we arrange a married? We should act faster before other family take him." grandma Nan is a bit keen on this topic.

Dini is burning red when they mentioned about it front of her like she's not there at all.

"I want to do that also, but we can't rush this thing else we offend him." elder Dun stroke his beard with a deep thinking. he's been thinking about it since a while ago after the tiger incident.

"you never know, Dini said they visit elder moon this morning and mister Lucis nod when he saw Luna." the second wife look at Elder Dun like she's angry.

"what are you worried, look at nini. She's more beautiful than Luna." the first wife still feel more confident than ever with her own bloodline.

"what husband said is true. We shouldn't rush, or else we might accidentally offending him. What if he leave this village? He's immortal, he can go whenever he want. The other village more than willing to accept someone like him." the smart third wife gave advice. She's quick witted.

"exactly what I thought. What we must do now is to make him stay in this village, marriage is after. If he marry nini but leave after than what's the use? Remember, what that bastarted do after marrying my daughter before?" Elder Dun expression slowly turn grim.

His second wife have a beautiful daughter that use to live in this village. When some wealthy young man saw her, he quickly proposed marriage with sweet promises. Sadly, all are empty word. After marriage, the man didn't even allow his daughter come visit them, the man even take back some of the item he gave them. 30 years and not even a news can be heard about his daughter.

"enough, don't say about that man again." grandma Du expression quickly turn unsightly like she have a grudge of seven generation. What the other can say, her one and only daughter is snatch away and she didn't even got anything out of it except insult from that guy housekeeper.

Both first wife and third wife hold her hand feeling guilty and glare elder Dun for mentioning about that thing again.

"Ehem, anyway.. I'll see him tomorrow and find a way to make him stay in this village." elder Dun face is reddened embarrassing. He just mentioned a taboo words even within the whole village.

"that's good, in the meantime, Nini, I can see that you like him. Try to get close to him but don't push thing too fast okay. I want to see his attitude first before I can allow you to be with him." grandma Nan throw the most gently smile at Dini. This is one of her trump card against her. Thought she's barely 40 and the youngest among the 3 wife, she's more smart than the other. She's originally come from GreenCap village but ran here chasing after elder Dun. She even manage to convince the first and second wife to let her join the gang.

While they're busy discussing their ultimate plan. Lucis standing still at his backyard sizing the area.

"this should be enough. I can make a bigger house here and surround it with tall wall..." he look at the wide open space near the hill toward the dragon mountain. The space is big enough to build a mansion after some ground flattening.

"I can make an underground storage and slowly make a cave toward the tiger cave for emergency purpose... Too bad the energy here really not suitable for cultivator. I really like this place." Lucis remember Elder Dun mentioned that this area is abandoned by cultivator.

"first is getting stronger, at least building my foundation, after that, everything else will be a piece of cake." his eyes filled with anticipation and excitement. with foundation, he have wider range of spell he can use.

He ran back iside his barn house and start meditating waiting for the dark night to survey more resources in the surrounding areas.

He already covered 5 kilometer and there's only some herb that still too early for harvest. Unfortunately his devine sense is still weak and he can't penetrate deep in the ground to fine some valuable ore. He really want to make a sword for himself.

The lowest grate of metal that can be use with infuse energy is black iron and he can forge it using his current strength. All the method is recorded within the yellow jade.

(w.note: There's always some funny incident popped up in my head but I lack the means to describe it. I don't even know there's a word "incredulous" exist until last week.)
