Endless Transmigration: These Shitty Lives are Killing Me

Chapter 27: Helping Ya Fei's Uncle

--- Chapter 26 ---

A month later.

Baek Ain lived in the private castle called White Goose Castle within the Miteer Family's owned land. Of course, not alone because Lan Rou always kept him entertained. And now they live together.

Yafei had her private court but slept in Baek Ain castle most of the time. After Baek Ain gave her a copy of the "Qi Method: Nine Yin Petals Technique.", Yafei started to train alongside them.

Oh, yeah. The elders asked if Baek Ain needed maids or servants, but Ain politely refused.

He didn't refuse the resource they gave to him, though.

Some rare materials are better than servants, helping Baek Ain to create Dou Spirit Breaking Pill. Yes, Baek Ain successfully achieved 1-Star Dou Spirit after a month. He is also close to reaching the 2nd Stage of the Record of the Burning World.

His business also grew tremendously with the full support of the Miteer Clan. Since only the elders, Lan Rou and Yafei know about his ability to create pills, they could monopolize the market.

The Jia Ma Alchemist Association is suspicious because Miteer Auction Houses across the Jia Ma Empire somehow could gain stable distribution of pills. However, they couldn't do anything without any evidence.

More so, Yafei nonchalantly denied any accusation. Miteer Family hasn't done anything wrong in this empire.

...

...

[Ding! Do you want to Sign In to White Goose's Spirit Pool?]

"Yes."

[Congratulations, host!]

[You have received White Goose's Boots(C+) and White Goose's Hairpin(C+)]

Baek Ain stared at the slick white boots on his hand, frowning because White Goose's Boots were women's boots. It can increase the wearer's speed by 30% for an hour while making every step nimble.

Baek Ain "technically." can wear White Goose's Boots, but he will give them to Yafei for extra protection. When receiving the new Qi Method, Yafei's cultivation returned to 1-Star Dou Disciple, meaning these boots would help her.

As for the White Goose's Hairpin, Baek Ain will give it to Lan Rou. His hair isn't long enough to use it anyway.

"Oh?" Baek Ain checked the White Goose's Hairpin and infused it with his Dou Qi, watching it transform into a sharp short sword. "Nice."

Baek Ain stored the rewards in his inventory and walked to the training ground behind the pond. He saw Lan Rou coaching Yafei, teaching the noble lady how to approach her enemy in the future.

He observed them with a smile because his women weren't feeble-minded like those heroines in anime. And they are going to become more powerful in the future.

"Good job, Fei." Baek Ain grabbed the fence and jumped into the training ground.

"You too, Rou."

Yafei breathed heavily and lay on the floor, gazing at Baek Ain with an exhausted look. "Haa... No wonder you are tired after training."

"Lan Rou is a devil."

"You'll get used to it." Baek Ain returned casually, making Yafei pout.

Lan Rou shook her head at Yafei and commented, "Lady Fei, your posture is too unpolished. I've taught you all the basics, so you shouldn't lose to random mobs on the street. If you ever feel threatened, just run with all your might."

"Talking about running..." Baek Ain placed the White Goose's Boots on Yafei's stomach.

Yafei's blue eyes widened in surprise as she mumbled, "This is..."

"A gift from me."

"Ain..."

"I love you~!"

Yafei's exhaustion seemed to disappear instantly. She hugged Baek Ain like a koala and kissed him, causing Lan Rou to smile bitterly.

"Don't make a sad face like that. I also brought one for you." Baek Ain winked while handing the hairpin to Lan Rou.

"Ain~!" Lan Rou stared at the hairpin with a brightened face and hugged him too.

'This is life.' Baek Ain thought to himself.

They had lunch together, which led to talking about the Ice Emperor of the Miteer Family. Baek Ain knew where Ice Emperor's whereabouts if this world wasn't an alternative Battle Through the Heavens.

Unfortunately, something always has to mess with his happy ending.

"It's been years since Uncle Bodong disappeared. He told us he wanted to find a way to cure someone, but we didn't hear any news regarding him."

"Someone?"

Yafei sighed and answered, "Uncle Tengshan. He got injured by a powerful Dou Qi Poison Master."

"He appeared fine outside, but when pressuring him a month ago. Don't you see how easily I smacked him?"

Baek Ain recalled when Yafei defended him and frowned. No wonder something felt strange about Teng Shan's condition, but even Yao Meng's knowledge doesn't give him a clue about this injury/poison problem.

"Is it internal injuries?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me then?"

Yafai closed her eyes and answered, "Only Essence Flame(Heavenly Flame) called Green Lotus Core Flame could cure him. The intense heat property of this natural force could counter the poison inside Uncle Tengshan's body."

[It's possible to cleanse the poison with Gnome's beats flame if the poison possesses metallic property]

[However, using Gnome will also burn the target's body] Alicia suddenly commented.

[You either have to absorb three beast flame or Green Lotus Core Flame to increase Gnome's rank to S]

[Oh, raising your Pyrokinesis Proficiency to S will also help with the procedure]

'Easier said than done, Alicia.' Baek Ain realized how hard it was to get S-Grade Skills when living in the White Goose's Castle. He trained hard and familiarized himself with the skill, but none reached S-Grade.

Pain Resistance(S) is an exception as it's increased its grade when someone inflicts pain on him. And how lucky he was to get Alchemist's Instinct(S) and Herbology(S) from Yao Men's Soul.

Thinking about it for a while, Baek Ain placed his chopsticks down and said, "I'll help."

"Hmm?" Lan Rou was confused by Baek Ain's sudden statement.

"I'll help Yafei's Uncle."

"Primer Tengshan would be my Uncle-in-law... I can't have him die before our wedding, no?"

"You..." A weak smile formed on Yafei's face.

They finished their lunch. Yafei sheepishly grabbed Baek Ain's hand and whispered, "Can we do it today? You'll be busy soon, and we might not see each other."

Lan Rou rolled her eyes and said, "Only three of us here."

"What's the point of whispering?"

"S-Shut up..." Yafei blushed, causing Baek Ain to chuckle.

Yafai dragged Baek Ain to the bedroom, leaving Lan Rou alone in the dining room.

The silver-haired woman leaned on the wall and giggled victoriously, "You can have Ain here, Lady Fei. However, I'm the one who would follow Baek Ain's journey later. Our time together is much longer and romantic."

"Hehe~!"

....

...

Morning.

Baek Ain kissed Yafei's forehead and said, "See you soon, Fei."

He strolled out of the room gently to not wake Yafei up and saw Lan Rou in the living room, sipping her coffee.

"Take you a while." Lan Rou smirked at him.

"Haha..." Baek Ain laughed helplessly because Yafei squeezed him dry.

Lan Rou finished her coffee and continued, "So... What's your plan? Finding the Ice Emperor?"

"No, that's part of the plan."

"Eh..."

Baek Ain grinned and said, "We have to visit the Magical Beast Mountain first."
