Chapter 102 Not Fair.

Both FeiFei and Anna were surprised that he thought this through so carefully.

-I wonder if I can do it the same way.

FeiFei thought aloud.

-Sorry Fei Fei, for the two of them it is possible because of their physiques.

 You on the other hand will have to reset and start from scratch but I think that you will be able to reach the second stage within two weeks and then using the technique regain your level within at most two or three months.

-So be it, I will reset my cultivation after the banquet.

She said with a bit of resignation in her voice.

Considering how hard she had to work to get to where she was now, it stung her to just erase it all.

However, the White Dragon Empress's cultivation technique was much better than her own and would benefit her more in the long run.

-Why the rush?

Anna asked.

-Because we won't stay here for that much longer and I want to be at least at the second stage before we leave.

-Actually, I wanted to ask your opinions on this matter.

Paul said suddenly.

-What do you mean?

-I think that we should stay here longer to have time and get stronger, not to mention to allow you, Lan, and Yin to recover your cultivation.

His words surprised them as they always thought that he wanted to settle the matter with his family as soon as possible and get to the next realm

-My plans didn't change, but they are not going anywhere so I can wait for that.

He said when Anna asked.

-For now, our priority should be to get stronger and we can do it here.

All it takes is to rent this mansion for longer or if we feel like it, we can just buy it.

Both women had to admit that it was a good idea, even Anna with her limited knowledge of this world had to admit that her cultivation was advancing faster here than when they were traveling.

-I don't see any problem with staying here for longer, but since we want to go to the higher realm, I don't see the need to buy this mansion.

The girl said.

-She's right, it would be a colossal waste of money to buy this place just to leave it behind when we leave for the higher realms.

Fei Fei agreed.

-Then It's settled.

Paul said seeing their agreement.

-Let's deal with it later, for now, I need to get ready for the banquet.

Fei Feim said.

-You know that the banquet is in the evening and it's still morning now.

-But getting ready will take time for me and I want to take my time.

She answered while walking back upstairs.

He heard that so many times already that he even started to regret asking.

-You do remember that we need to go to the Province lord's mansion soon.

Paul reminded her.

His words made her stop in her tracks.

-Then let's get going the time is wasting.

She said walking back down.

-Will you at least let me have breakfast and get properly dressed?

Paul asked amused.

Two hours later they were back at the province lord's mansion and Fei Fei just finished explaining the dual cultivation to Paul's new family.

To say that Xiao Han and his family were surprised would be an understatement.

They all thought that it was a depraved way of cultivating but after hearing Fei Fei's explanation they understood why that was.

-Thank you, Fei Fei, This explanation was illuminating, to say the least.

Liu Lili said.

Xiao Han nodded.

Xiao Su was still a bit dazed and her face was red from hearing about some of the details but she could blame only herself for insisting on hearing the explanation.

-It's my pleasure, especially since I managed to clear the misunderstanding you all had towards dual cultivators.

The woman said happily.

-That you did.

Xiao Han agreed.

-I almost forgot.

You said that you want restrictions removed from your slaves as a reward for healing Su.

He looked at Paul.

-Yes, and I will bring them whenever you have free time.

Paul nodded.

-Then how about tomorrow?

-That works for me.

-Also if you don't mind me asking, why do you want to remove their restrictions?

Xiao Han asked with curiosity as most slave owners would not go through so much trouble for their slaves.

-If I could then I would want a full pardon for them but that can only be granted by the Emperor.

Paul said.

-In my opinion, a mother killing a man who wanted to rape her daughter, should never even be accused as this is a simple case of defending her child.

But because the bastard was from an influential family, they got sentenced to a life of slavery and had their mana pools sealed.

Paul explained the situation.

-Are you sure that this was the case?

Lili asked.

-Yes, I asked all three of them under an order, and if need be, I can ask them that again in your presence.

He answered.

-There is no need for that, I was just worried that you were tricked somehow, but if they said it under the order then It's more than enough for me.

Xiao Han said.

-Moreover, I think I know who you are talking about as this case was quite a sensation in the city, especially when the Imperial judge arrived to take care of it personally.

I see no reason not to remove their restrictions, but as you said, they will still be criminal slaves and I don't have the authority to change that.

-Thank you uncle, but I have already found a way to get that status removed from them.

It might take some time but when I go to the next realm, I will bring them along, and as far as I have been told their status as criminal slaves will disappear once they leave this realm.

Xiao Han thought for a while and nodded.

-This should work as any sentence in this realm has no power in the higher one, but they won't be able to return to this realm ever again or their status would return with the addition of a charge for being a runaway slave and you should know how that is punished.

The province lord said.

-I know and I seriously doubt that they will ever want to come back here.

However for this plan to even have a chance to work, I need them to become cultivators as soon as possible so that they won't be defenseless once we arrive in the higher realm.

-Then It's decided, bring them to me tomorrow and I will remove their seals.

Xiao Han said.

-I would have done it today but there is a banquet we need to attend.

-Are you talking about the banquet at the city lord's mansion?

Paul asked.

-Yes, how did you know?

Xiao Han and Liu Lili asked surprised.

-Because Fei Fei and I will attend that banquet as well.

He answered with a smile.

-That's not fair!

Xiao Su said angrily.
