Chapter 10 The World
\'He\'s already in the warrior realm; should I ask him when he\'ll do it with me so I can cultivate as well?\' Lily reflected after seeing her mother and Emma rush away without saying anything to them. She became more interested in cultivation and hoped to become one as soon as possible. As a mage, she needed to dual cultivate with Yuan first, and she needed to expel all her mana into her body, which she could only do by dual cultivating with her little brother.
"Little Yuan, I was wondering when we will be engaging in the dual cultivation thing," Lily asked while lowering her head since she didn\'t want to look her little brother in the eyes.
\'It\'s so embarrassing...\' Lily exclaimed as her cheeks began to get scarlet.
\'She seems to be growing impatient, especially after seeing my changes. Aww, she is so incredibly cute in this position.\' Yuan thought as she watched Lily become so ashamed. He actually thinks it\'s charming how she\'s acting.
"Not today; I simply want to rest for the day. We\'ll do that tomorrow night after taking mom for a stroll around the streets." He talked softly while lovingly and tenderly caressing her face. In his previous life, he had no one to call and ask to go for a stroll in the park or the town. He sincerely misses Lulu in his heart and was unable to even go for a stroll in the park with her. But since he is now unable to return to Earth, everything has lost its importance to him. He now prefers to go on a stroll with his new family, something he had always longed to do.
\'He is right, so much happened to him today... He genuinely needs proper rest.\' She thought.
"It\'s been so long since we went for a stroll through the town with mom, you\'re right, little Yuan. We could all take a stroll through the town\'s bazaar now that mom has recuperated from her illness." Lily said that Yuan\'s desire to take their family for a stroll through the town had greatly impressed her; she hasn\'t taken a stroll since Anna fell ill.
It\'s "The Bazaar, huh?" Yuan murmured as he cast his gaze upward.
"I should go to sleep, and you should too, it\'s getting late..." Lily remarked as she approached him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
\'What is she trying to do? Is she going to kiss me?...\' Yuan thought awkwardly, finding her actions a bit unconventional.
She closes the gap between their faces by wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing their lips together. Yuan was taken aback at first by his sister\'s unexpected kiss. But soon after, he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her more passionately than Lily had.
They kissed for about ten minutes before they grasped for air and parted ways.
"That\'s all for now; we can do more later, but for now, we should go to bed; it\'s already too late!" Yuan said after they were separated.
"I understand... Good night, little Yuan!" Lily said with a blushing face.
"Good night!"
They left the dining room after saying "good night" to each other and went to their rooms to rest.
Yuan lay down on his bed as soon as he entered his room and promptly fell asleep. This was his first night of sleep in this strange new world.

After waking up from his sleep, he went to the bathroom to wash his face.
He went close to the window after washing his face and fixing his messy hair.
He saw the outside world for the first time after being transmigrated here by opening his window. He saw the town\'s houses, which resembled those from medieval times on Earth. The air is very clean, in contrast to the polluted air on Earth.
He noticed that the majority of the houses in this town were quite old and had numerous cracks in them. The town\'s protective wall has numerous cracks that need to be repaired. With a single glance, he could tell that this city was deteriorating and would soon be abandoned.
"This city will become a barren land in about five to six years, not that I care!" He said as he was looking at the town\'s wall.
[Host! Are you not going to do anything about it?] Nora asked in his mind.
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "There\'s nothing I can do here... I am not a hero and have no desire to become one; assisting this city is out of the question!" Yuan stated calmly that he is not some novel or manga protagonist who will help people without caring who they are; in most cases, the hero dies by poking his finger where he shouldn\'t poke due to his or her self-righteous personality, which results in death at the hands of his or her comrades who are irritated by his or her nature.
He also didn\'t want to be like those protagonists who hide their power even when their girlfriends are fucked by strangers; he will use his powers however he wants, regardless of what others think of him, and he will not bow his head to anyone said from his mothers, of course.
This town is called Clover Town, according to his memories of the previous Yuan. Some adventurers named the town "Clover Town" approximately 150 years ago. This town was newly established at the time, and adventurers came to this town because a special clover used to grow nearby, which is a very rare herb used to make healing potions. This town used to be quite prosperous as a result of this, but that time has long passed, and even the clover has stopped growing nowadays.
Clover town is also known as the border town, and it is constantly threatened by beast waves, which occur regularly. If you travel south from this town, you will enter the territory of the Kingdom of Mora. Baron Millar of the Windfall kingdom rules over Clover town. It\'s a good thing the two kingdoms get along; otherwise, the lives of everyone in this town would be severely compromised, and the chances of a war breaking out would be high. Windfall kingdom consists of four marquis: Marquis Monbrook in the north, who has the most territory compared to the other nobles in the kingdom; Marquis Paumers in the south, who has the second largest territory after Marquis Monbrook; Marquis Rothsey in the east, and Marquis Reentosh in the west, who has the most territory. 7 Earls (count), 3 Viscounts, and 4 Barons—the title of Duke is reserved for empires. Along with the Kingdom of Mora and the Red River Kingdom, the Windfall Kingdom is a vessel of the Lionheart Empire.
There are currently 3 continents in this world: the Northern, Southern, and Western Continents. If there are any others, they have not yet been found. People can\'t currently travel to the sea because there aren\'t any flying treasures in this world and animals can\'t potentially fly for very long. No one has ever successfully crossed the sea, but many have attempted it and died while doing so.
Right now, the largest continent in the world is the northern one. Although being the largest of the other three continents, this one is governed by just three empires. The Holy Empire, which is located in the Northwest and is governed by the Holy Church, has an Emporer as well but is subject to the Pop\'s orders as the Church\'s highest authority. The Holy Empire places a high value on religion. The Gale Empire, which governs six minor countries, is located in the northeast, and the Lionheart Kingdom, which also includes the Windfall Kingdom, is located in the southeast.
While the Southern continent is the second-largest after the Northern continent in terms of area, two empires control it. The Beast Empire, which is on the southwest side and contains solely beast people, is also home to elves and dwarfs. The Demon race dominates the Demon Empire, which is located on the southwest corner of the continent.
The previous Yuan knows very little about the Western Continent; all he knows is that it is populated by mixed races, exactly like the Northern Continent.
In addition to the three continents, there is a fourth floating island known as the Highland, which is roughly the size of one-third of the northern continent and floats between the three continents. The inhabitants of the floating islands are immensely conceited and believe themselves to be gods. They are extremely selfish and don\'t care about the lives of people who reside on one of those three continents; if any kingdom or empire requests their assistance, they will afterward charge them a hefty fee. Because of this, most kingdoms would want to stay away from them.

He left the room and walked to the dining area to have breakfast after recalling everything from these memories. He finds his mother and the other two girls waiting for him when he enters the dining room.
