Chapter 319 - 319: Care & Change Of Plans
"Wha-what happened to you Master!?"
She was enjoying the warm and juicy kiss of her Master when suddenly her hands felt wet and extremely warm.
She wasn't able to understand what it was at first, so she raised her hands in such a way as to not interrupt her Master's kiss, but at the same time gaze at her hands.
But the moment she did so, she was startled and shocked by what she saw so she jumped like a startled rabbit.
That was because there was blood in her hands, blood that didn't belong to her. Even though she still had that iron needle into her left hand, her right hand had become bloody as well.
Furthermore, she even felt some kind of cut into her Master's back, which made her even more startled and frightened.
So, she immediately stopped the kiss and asked with clear worry on her face. Seeing that face of hers Eric couldn't help but feel touched for some reason, as he said with a downplaying tone,
"It's nothing, just a small cut!"
Trying to get out of his arms without harming him, Ren Jia got up and looking at his back she said with a worried voice,
"That is not just a small cut Master! You can't pretend like it's nothing, otherwise, something might happen to you!"
As she said that she even started showing tears in her eyes, continued,
"It is all because of me! If I hadn't been that stubborn and been more honest with my feelings, you wouldn't have had to get hurt like that!
I am sorry Master! I am really sorry! It will never happen again!"
Eric couldn't help but look at her face with a stunned look, as she couldn't believe this deep change in her character so quickly.
What made the situation even weirder though was the fact that her expression seemed real, she wasn't faking it.
She truly was thinking and feeling what she said, her heartbeat confirmed it. Just how was it possible for a human to change like this?
He didn't understand how it happened, but the truth was that he didn't care much about it, as long as she obeyed him, and acted like this, with these feelings he was satisfied with it.
As he was seeing her act like that, and confirming that she wasn't faking it, he saw and was reminded of her left hand and left foot that still carried those big iron needles, and said,
"The cut isn't deep don't worry, it's just a bit gruesome and blood is leaking out of it, but nothing serious.
On the other hand, your hand and your foot are more important. Those iron needles are old and dirty, so you need to take care of them as fast as you can."
"Ah~! Don't worry about that Master, it doesn't matter! I need to take care of you first!"
Even in that situation, she was still thinking about him. It was impossible for that to be fake, she had truly accepted him wholeheartedly as her Master.
Knowing that she wasn't going to back down until they took care of the cut on his back, he immediately took out four bottles of Medium Health Potions.
Drinking two for himself as if he was drinking some shots, he ripped his shirt and tied it around his chest covering the cut on his back.
Then he turned towards Ren Jia, and said,
"With this, I will be okay, now is your turn, and don't protest! I need you to be perfectly healthy to serve me for many years to come!"
With that said, Ren Jia became much more obedient, as she looked at him with puppy eyes, as Eric took out those big iron needles, and then used the Medium Health potions bottles on her wounds.
They were the best remedy against possible infections in the future, and also healing her hand and her foot without leaving any sign behind.
Medium Health Potion was extremely useful, and powerful, especially for fighters below level 100. Once one passed through that bottleneck then its use would fall by quite a bit.
As for how long that thing would be useful to Eric, depended on how useful these stone Samurai puppets really were.
He would be able to level up as much as they could put a challenge for him. After that, he would have to find much better and capable opponents.
But right at that moment, he couldn't think about it, as he was transfixed by the beautiful eyes. She was looking at him with reverence, subservience, and care.
She had truly accepted him as her Master, and especially after Eric took care of her wounds for her, it seemed like her heart, soul, and mind were set on being her Master's.
The only thing left for her to present to her Master was her body, and even that she was determined to give it to him the moment that he asked for it.
Eric would love to do that as soon as possible too, but the problem was that he couldn't, as he had much more important matters to take care of.
Firstly, it was the matter of those damn agents, and fighters outside, they were all like roaches that were bound to spoil and rotten the islands and the environment.
Secondly, there was the issue of the Young Masters, and the disciples of the big families that had already paid the fees for them to come here, train, and cultivate.
Third, last but not least, it was the fact that he had to make sure that he was the undisputed owner of this place no matter what.
Just looking at the security of this place his heart was beating hard at the thought of what fortunes might be waiting for him at the core.
This was just like some kind of inheritance space, or inheritance cave, and he was the only one participating in the inheritance.
Which meant that everything inside this place would belong to him, as long as he surpassed the trials on his way.
He thought of using the Stealth Talisman to get past this dark tunnel quickly and easily, but he had to shot down that idea, as he didn't know what awaited him at the end of it.
It would be great if he directly entered the core, but what if there was another test waiting for him the moment he got out, and he had no way to contact the outside?
That would definitely spoil his plans, as he wouldn't be able to receive all those people coming for him, and he couldn't allow that to happen.
At first, he had thought that since that guy was able to conquer this place, it should be a fairly easy thing to do and that he would take control of this place without breaking a sweat.
But only now was he able to understand that in fact, this place was much more difficult than he might have thought at the beginning.
Desperate times require desperate measures!
Thinking like that he immediately took out his phone, only to realize that there was no transmission inside this place.
At that moment he was fully convinced that this was most certainly an independent space from that of outside, it was just that he didn't understand how it came to be.
The person who had made this happen, or the sect that was able to make this happen, was most certainly true experts, and probably even those immortals of the legends.
What made things extremely weird though was the fact that this whole place had been left completely empty, without life.
And even if there was, there was no sign of it.
He didn't have the luxury to ponder about it at the moment though, as he immediately took out a satellite phone from his space ring, and quickly managed to assemble a small satellite antenna.
Then with great care, he took the antenna outside the dimensional gate that connected this space to the outside world, as he worked out a hardware wave transmission line.
These things were all necessities after his trip to Africa, as they were a lot of places without reception there, and he felt lucky to have them, otherwise, he would have to get out.
He didn't know if that Master Sniper of the other day was still on his post waiting for a sign of life, it looked extremely impossible but there were all kinds of people out there.
So, he had to make sure that he aroused as little attention as possible, at least until he took control of this independent space and make it his.
The moment that his satellite antenna got to work, he immediately turned on a new unregistered phone and started sending his messages and instructions.
Firstly, to Shiro, telling him to postpone their plans of bringing his people to the Senkaku Islands, as he had yet to procure the place.
Secondly, it was to Fujiwara Amane, telling her to contact the big families that had decided to pay money for their disciples to enter under training with his Master.
His Master didn't have any responsibility to protect them, before they became officially his disciples, until then their safety was in the hands of their respective clans, and organizations.
Furthermore, his Master had no intention of opening war to the rest of the world, so every country, organization, or family was more than welcomed to send disciples with the same conditions.
But on the other hand, they would have to pull away their agents, and spies, as everyone left in the Senkaku Islands without his permission in one month's time, would be killed by him.
The famous treatment of the carrot and the stick!
