River Of The Past II - Chapter 26

~Ding~

[System Alert] Memory fragment viewing can force the time to a halt. and can make the host utilize the memory more subtle, as of now, the time that has passed in the real world while viewing the memory fragment is only 3 seconds due to no limitations of the host cultivation

"Sheessh No Wonder I didn't feel like I have age or so....anyways that some genuinely weird unlock function that I have never seen in a novel, jeez, what kind of god created this function...."

~Meanwhile at the Other Realm~

~Achoooooo~

~Unknown wiped her nose with a lot of tissue~

"That some strong repulsion right there, Ugh, I wonder who was talking behind my back"

~Back to Aoyama, He then smelled a pungent odor that is so strong, that He forgot he was at the tree top and nearly fell~

"Phew luckily I have the leap skill, or else I would have inhaled the so called pungent smell, but where is it even coming?" exclaimed Aoyama

"It seems that there is a corpse flower nearby, figures that it has its thing open, I almost died inhaling it Ughh"

~Ding~

[System Alert] The host cannot die by inhaling simply the corpse flower, instead it give various effect on the host in this world, for example, the host may hallucinate and fell into heart demon infestation, second, the host may be filled with Gu worms that are so small by going near them, and can make the internal organs to breakdown, and third the host can gain various diseases. :D

"Ughkk"

"God lucky I was so fast in fleeing the scene or else I'll get retribution by secretly following a woman, but its weird though, its like she knew that I was following her and lead me to certain places which is definitely a number 1 process of stalling for time in some novels, first is the scent, next is the corpse flower, what comes next?"

~Ding~

[System Alert] >o< HaHaHa!

"What so funny?"

~Ding~

[System Alert] Nothing! Hihihi

"Anyways, I've never experience things like this kind of plot, so I guess I'll try to experience it more to learn it, I was just a speck of dust programmer in that day so I have no experience in fighting, but this is an opportunity for me given by the heavens to collect more skills and learn it through experience, Alright it's time for us to move down to that cliff over there, she is already far away from us, but I'm faster hehe"

~Then Aoyama began to embark his journey in chasing the woman, tree by tree until he finally gain an opportunity to capture the woman midair~

"Speak who are you woman? (Even though her name is inside the panel I should ask the person I'm interrogating to strike up a conversation)"

~The woman remains silent and not moving an inch flushed red~

~Aoyama then realized that she was not speaking because of his hand grabbing two big jiggly mountains~

"Oh I'm sorry" blushed Aoyama

"Ahm! Anyways what is your name? and Why Are you running away from me?" said Aoyama

"I-I sa-saw you kill someone a-a mid nihility realm ma-master, so-So I ran away in advance after I saw you looking at me"

"Oh that must have scared you, anyways I won't kill anyone who is not deemed to be killed, I only kill those who have oppress me and my family (Even though I'm myself in this world Huhu :C)"

"..." silence filled the air croo croo

"Ahem...So let me ask you a question, what where you doing near where I was?"

~The woman suddenly felt the need to speak as she was trembling in fear that he might kill her if she doesn't speak the truth~

~In her mind~

(Crap! I can't say that I was just wondering around the forest to look for herbs and got lost, then accidentally found them fighting nearby so I hid, but If I lie will he kill me or spare me? No, no need to lie, I can be sure that he will be trusted specially that delicate face of him as white and smooth as an ice jade! No....No! I..I need to answer soon or else he will find me suspicious specially he killed a mid-nihility realm master)

"I...I was wandering around the forest to look for herbs for the village, and got lost afar, then suddenly I heard some crackling sounds of steel nearby, so I took a sight, but I didn't expect it to end early.....so I wasn't spying on you! Please don't kill me! I beg you" said by the woman shaking

...After a few minutes of initializing the answer that the woman has given Aoyama raised his hand

~The girl trembled so fast, she almost begin to faint until Aoyama Stroke her head and patted, she began to calm~

"Alright, I find that answer plausible, consider it worthwhile parting gift of not killing you"

"Thank you! Thank you, I nearly forgot to introduce myself, I'm called Sophia Stella Clara in full, but you can call me Sophia, I'm the daughter of the village chief of The Hidden Star Tribe nearby, nice to meet you si...r..."

"Well It's nice to meet you too Sophia, I'm Aoyama, a wandering traveler"

"Are you affiliated with some kind of sect, sir Aoyama?" asked Sophia

"Ah a sect? No, not at this moment, I'm like a loose cultivator to the exact but not exactly a loose one, but I will create a sect soon hehehe"

"Wow! You will create a sect, can I join your sect! I wish to become as strong as Sir Aoyama!" asked Sophia with glistening eyes full of determination

"A-Ah I'll think about it, but you should prove your worth first, and you can join my sect after I built my own"

"Yiepiee! Finally I can achieve my dream of becoming a cultivator one day! Sir Aoyama, I will live up to your expectations, oh I mean! Master! Hihihi"

~Aoyama blushed after being called master~

(Damn This the first time I'm being called a master! Hahahaha! I feel like I own the world right now considering I don't have a sect yet intact, Well anyways let's go and send her back, maybe one day we will meet again... Did I say this kind of word in the previous one?....nah nevermind let's go!)

~They then proceed to travel back to their respective village, while Aoyama swiftly got out of that place after sending her back~

~Swoosh~

~Only then the sound of the village welcoming back Sophia was heard~

~After walking a few distance, Sophia felt flustered, but tried to suppress that feeling as she was determined to meet her one and only master who didn't discriminate against her and was again full of determination to be accepted by Aoyama~

"Bye Master!" said by Sophia in a low-mannered voice

~Aoyama then look back, while leaping to the air and waved back~

"When Fate aligns we will meet again" shouted Aoyama

"I'll be waiting Master!

~Aoyama then left as fast he could and return back the camp where the kids are~

(Of course I couldn't forget about them :D)

~But as soon as he was swiftly going back he managed manage to land in a nearby river, only to find a cave with carvings on the edge of the stone door that looks similar to the alphabet of greece he then proceeds to examine that mysterious abode, shocked to the brim~

~Ding~

[System Alert] You have found the twelfth secret labyrinth called [Aphrodite's Malaise Love Labyrinth] Translated in Greek language [ kakouchía tis afrodítis agápi lavýrintho]

[ Η κακουχία της Αφροδίτης αγάπη λαβύρινθο] - from the Greek poet ranking of The Twelve Greek Gods of mythology

"What! There is a carvings from earth's Greece here! I knew it, this is undeniably the Greek Language of Earth as soon as I took a glance at it! Now of all I have to face was the weakest ranking among the Twelve Greek Gods of Mythology! I have to prepare before going in because I don't know what will be inside, I guess that should be in the later days, for now I will just head first to the camp"

~He then stumbled upon a cultivator at the golden core stage flying his sword looking confused as to why a man is jumping so high and able-bodied to glide to the air when he is just a foundation-building realm, but realized it's not worth the trip and decides to continue his adventure, while Aoyama also continued his adventure towards their base~

~After a few hours of leaping through tree's by tree's, air by air, rocks by rocks, Aoyama then reached the camp without exhaustion and what awaited for him shocked him to the core~
