Chapter 2: Wandering Expert
Although this thing's size wasn't important in this world where only strength matters. But, it was result of Sami's only hardwork he did in his previous life.
I sat on the ground in the silent lane I entered before. I have to cultivate in order to pay back the favors of King of Heaven. Recalling the memories I murmured in a low voice, "Heaven Shaking Technique."
Heaven Shaking Technique, was the cultivation technique King of Heaven want me to pass down to someone capable. This technique was ranked highest among Heaven ranked techniques.
The techniques were divides into Basic, Earth, Sky, Divine and Heaven. In which Basic is the weakest and Heaven is the strongest.
The cultivation as usual was divided in different levels. Starting from Body Tempering having nine levels. In this energy nourishes body making it able to hold large amount of energy.
I can feel energy around him. The energy was slim like threads. I didn't bothered to think anything, I just start absorbing it recklessly.
Because Heaven Shaking Technique can purify any energy. So, I doesn't need to worry about anything, I only have to cultivate.
4 hours… 6 hours… 12 hours… 1 day…
By the time I wasn't sure how much time passed but when I opened eyes I could feel the reliving feeling.
"Ha! Looks like mine foundation is now forged. How much time had past?"
"It's been 7 days."
The voice of The King of Heaven echoed in my mind and they fell silent.
It was only one week and I made a strong foundation. As I thought Cultivation was perfect for a lazy like me.
"But if I have to cultivate that long I should find a good place. What if someone kidnapped me?"
I stood up swinging my tail. In this world humans have tail. It wasn't different from the humans of my previous world.
The difference was that in previous world, human's tail had disappeared into a small tail bone region. And in this world tail didn't disappeared.
Even they King of Heaven had said that perhaps it will come back in my previous world as it can't be disappeared completely even after millions of years.
I thought that forest would be a perfect place to hide for cultivation. But thinking about the magical beasts of cultivation world I dropped the idea.
'I should have cultivated till the high or pinnacle of first stage of Bone Tempering.'
I was walking quietly in the market till a horse cart crashed into me and it's door get wrecked.
A angry looking girl came out of it with banging foot steps. Her dress was looking like a mixed version of gown and armoured, giving a look of majestic knight of stories.
She looked at me like I have stolen her jewel and with anger in her eyes. She grabbed by collar and started shaking me like wine.
"Do you have a death wish?! Can't you see such a big horse cart?! Are you blind?!"
My soul left my body, it was empty completely till a old lady came out of the horse cart.
"Princess it's not his fault. Our coachman was fast enough to crush any man making more fuss."
"What do you mean?! Is it coachman's fault?!"
The angry girl leave me and stepped towards the coachman who was covered in sweat. But a stick stopped the angry girl to approach coachman, it was the old lady's stick.
"What are you doing?"
The angry girl sighed.
"It was you, my princess who ordered this mere coachman to move faster. It's not his fault, it's just a coincidence."
The old lady's voice was polite.
Meanwhile they was struggling to find the guilty, I the sole victim was trying to escape. But was caught by the old lady.
"Where are you going young man?"
The old lady caught my collar with her stick's curved side.
'I should tore this collar apart! Are you mine or not? Helping them to catch me.'
I sighed in helplessness. In this world I was a mere slum boy who just was kicked from the Minlung academy one week ago.
"It was our fault for crashing into you but…"
The old lady paused and the angry girl was still looking at me with anger. Her anger was negligible first but still now I wanted to ask her.
'Did I killed your father? Why are you looking at me like this?'
The old lady glanced at me.
"... but a normal person shouldn't be able to scratch this cart. Yet alone breaking it's door and making it tilt this much. You shouldn't be a normal man. Tell us who you are?"
'It's not my fault. What can I do if your cart is second handed?'
My heart was beating rapidly. By looking at their clothes, anyone can tell that they belong to a noble family. And on the other side it was me, a newly trans-migrated poor slum dog with dirty clothes.
And yet they was asking who I am. Can't they look at my appearance.
"I-I am Sami. I am a normal slum boy. Nothing else about me."
My voice was little some shakey.
It might me due to the Heaven Shaking Technique, that I am becoming more attracted, even horse came to me without caring about the consequences.
The old lady looked at me with suspicious eyes. She blinked once and then when she looked at me her eyes was filled with shine.
'It shouldn't be like… I can't see this boy's cultivation. Is he a boy or… Yes, this must be the case or otherwise who could be able to damage the cart made up of Rasle Wood like this.
Without a cultivation above bone tempering realm no one can break Rasle Wood recklessly. Also I can't see his cultivation. It must a wandering expert which is travelling. I must not bother them.'
The old lady was melt in her thoughts till…
"What happened butler Xiao Ho?"
The angry girl was now calm and she clapped twice in front of the old lady who was still holding my collar.
"Huh?"
The old lady seemed to be woke up from a dream. She leave my collar and with proper ethics bowed.
"Sorry, I misunderstood senior as a demon."
"Senior? Demon?"
I raised an eyebrow. Perhaps I look ugly because of not taking a bath in this body. But still my looks are better than any random guy of the street.
It seems that the lady had misunderstood me as someone else.
"What are you doing Miss Ho? You are a royal…"
The old lady filled the angry girl's mouth with bread and smiled at me.
"Sorry, she's a bit energetic. Please came along us and give us a chance to serve you."
The old lady hold the angry girl in her left hand and lifted her other hand towards the cart with little-bend posture. The angry girl was struggling to get out of her grip.
"No, no, no. I am a mere…"
I was waving my hands. It was now sure that the old lady had mistaken me as someone else. But before I can understand she grabbed my wrist and took me and then angry inside the cart.
"Coachman, straight to the palace."
The coachman started driving the horse cart.
And I was sitting in the window seat with a dumbfounded expression.
'Palace? Are they from royal family?'
Recalling the moment when the angry girl was trying to say something.
'It must not be like this.'
I pondered for a while that how can I get out of this difficult situation. Meanwhile, the old lady and angry girl was arguing. But they was arguing in such a low voice, that I was unable to listen them.
"What are you trying to do butler Ho?"
The angry girl seems to be a bit angry by the old lady's actions.
"Princess they are a expert. You should respect them."
The old lady's forehead was sweating such as perhaps I may hear them.
"Expert? A young boy like him? He seems even more younger then me, and take a look at his clothes. Does he look like a expert?"
The angry girl's voice was about to burst into laugh.
But then the old lady said something that made her shocked.
"It's a matter of time, when a person reaches higher cultivation they started look younger and even they can disguise that even Citylord Min can't recognize."
"What?"
The old lady nodded.
"And if as you said he's even younger than you then it is more important to be served. He must be a young member of a noble family from higher…"
Before the old lady and the angry girl could discuss further the coachman stopped the horse cart.
