Chapter-2[Profound Ark]

The woman turned toward the little fox which hissed at the woman making the woman confused.

'Why is this fox seems to be hating me?' The woman wondered. She felt the fox hating her as though she snatched something that the fox cherished.

"Do you want your Master or whatever this man is to you to go and get healing with me in my sect?" The woman asked with a perplexed expression.

'Did I ask that to a beast? and a beast that I never saw or read about before?' The woman thought.

The fox lowered its head and got lost in thoughts of whether to let the woman take the man with her or not.

The woman continued to observe the fox with greed in her eyes, 'I wasn't wrong. This beast is special...'

After a minute, the fox lifted its head and looked at the woman, and nodded.

A smile bloomed on the woman's face, which would have bewitched anyone who looked at it but the only spectator, the fox growled at the woman.

The woman then extended her hand and a small sword, around her finger size suddenly manifested in her hand and the woman threw it on the ground.

The fox calmly observed as though it knew what it was.

The sword suddenly grew in size and become around 15 meters long and 7 meters wide and hovered on the ground.

The woman turned toward the man and waved her hand, blue Spiritual Energy extended from her hand and made a platform directly below the man, and lifted him in the air.

The woman turned toward the fox and crouched down a little as she opened her arms as though indicating the fox to hop in them.

The fox ignored that gesture and walked toward the giant sword and jumped to reach there. The next moment, the fox sat on the giant sword, it groaned in pain it felt through its body due to jumping.

'Is this beast smart or a fool? Did it not see the number of injuries on its body?' The woman wondered.

The woman then turned toward the man who floated in the air from the platform she created and waved her hand and started walking. The man also floated behind her being laid on the platform.

The man's injuries healed a little with the major cuts and slashes closing a little, and the blood flowing stopped too.

'The Healing Pills worked but this man needs more pills or some high-ranked pills to heal completely, as for his meridians and other stuff...huh.Master would have to take a look or I could ask if he could be given to me seeing that he owned Yang Physique, that will complement me with my cultivation or have him send to the alchemy department...they would make good use of him if I can't have him...' The woman thought as she boarded the sword and the man also floated beside her.

The woman then looked at her side as the man floated there and waved her hand down, the man too landed on the ground and the platform disappeared making the man land on the floor.

"Urghh..." A groan escaped man's mouth from the sudden change of the surface two times continually and the pain he felt.

The fox immediately ran toward the man and stood in front of him looking at the woman with a threatening look on its face. But the fox's legs trembled continuously.

It was clear to the woman that the fox was having even difficulty in just standing but it still tried to protect the man like that.

'Did I do something wrong here? I just landed the man and nothing more...' The woman wondered at the act of the fox.

Ignoring the fox's act, the woman extended her hand and four pills or light brown color, the same that the woman feed the man before appeared in her hand.

She then crouched down, "Here, eat these pills, it would help you recover from your injuries a little." The woman said in a calming

tone.

She wanted the fox to be healed as that would make it look more appealing, 'This beast had good white color but the blood and the dust is making it worse...'

The fox thought for a moment and stepped forward but its moment remained cautious of the moment. The fox then stood in front of the woman and looked at the pills in the woman's hand.

The next thing shocked the woman to the core. A disgusted expression formed on the face of the fox as it sneered at the pills in the woman's hand.

"W-what?! They are Rank 5 Healing pills!!" The woman exclaimed. But the fox ignored that and eat all of those four pills at a single time and ran toward the man.

She can't believe that the fox showed this expression to the Rank.5 healing pills, 'I got them with difficulty...maybe not but they are rare!!'

Suddenly, her eyes dimmed and her body started trembling a little.

'I can't believe that I got angry by the behavior of a dumb beast... how could it even know the value of a single pill...' The woman thought. She felt humiliated a little that she got swept like that.

The fox seeing her expression snickered and cuddled beside the man's arms.

The woman ignored everything and sat on the sword, in the lotus position, and closed her eyes as she sensed the large sword, 'There are around 670 Spirit Stones... it should be enough to reach the sect for now..'

"I need to ask for a new Profound Ark..this one is consuming too many spirit stones.." The woman muttered and closed her eyes.

The next moment, a blue barrier appeared around the sword-shaped Profound Ark and the Ark started floating.

The fox looked at it for a moment before closing its eyes but not sleeping as it still can't trust the woman, especially the greed that showed in the woman's eyes before.

The Ark floated in the air to gain enough height and when it reached enough, it started going forward directly above the forest that they were in before.

The Ark moved forward at a slow speed in the start but after a while, it gained enough speed that it was hard to see what was moving in the sides through normal eyes.

The woman remained completely focused on driving the Ark.

The man lay on the ground but his condition looked good now. The fox cuddled beside the man.

After half an hour, the ark stopped and floated in the air.

In front of the ark is a mountain, a mountain that had been cut in the half making the surface flat from different places and other places had hills with different buildings formed on them. The whole thing is covered in large walls made out of stones or something similar and different posts for security and people to stand for lookout is made in different corners.

The woman looked at the place in front of her with a reminiscing expression on her face.

"I am finally back!" She exclaimed.

The fox opened its eyes hearing the woman's voice and looked at the place for a moment before giving an appreciative nod to it which was not seen by anyone.

'...right I am in the array now...I need to hover down quickly!!' The woman panicked a little and quickly made the Ark hover down.

The Ark landed down on the ground, directly in front of a large stone gate.

The woman turned and looked at the man and waved her hand and the man again hovered on the same platform made out of Spiritual Energy.

The barrier surrounding the Ark also disappeared.

The fox walked out from the Ark along with the woman and the man floating behind them.

The woman then made the Ark return to the finger size and made it vanish.

The fox also had most of her injuries healed except some but it showed tiredness now.

The woman then started walking towards the large stone gate where many other people wearing different colored robes but the same design as her were walking, going in and out of the large gate.

The moment she reached a little closer to the stone gate, she become the center of attraction. Every person focused on her, ignoring what they were doing, and started whispering.

But when their eyes landed on the man floating behind her...

The whole area flooded with killing intent and hatred focused on the man. The fox, who was ignored looked at those people and sneered disdainfully.

The woman too ignored their stares and everything else and walked toward the stone gate.
