Re:Immortal

"By the abyss, how many times do I have to repeat myself?" A tired Addi was sitting on a throne made of stone in front of the massive pillar in the mortal plane.

His expression was worn as he glanced at the villagers kowtowing to him.

"Did we do anything that upset you, your holiness?" Asked the village head.

Letting out a sigh, Addi massaged the bridge of his nose before speaking.

"What did I say about all of this?" He said while pointing at all those present with his hands.

"T-This?" muttered the old village head confused.

"The entire worship damn it!" Answered Addi.

'I bet that Omis would have enjoyed it here, but for me, it's just plain annoying.' He thought to himself.

"T-That can't do my God!" Said the village head, flustered.

"Yes master, how could we allow any disrespect towards you." Said a young lady with short black hair and flawlessly white skin.

As soon as she appeared, all those present quieted down, most gazed at her walk towards Addi with admiration and envy in their eyes, yet she did not seem to care about them as she only kept her eyes on Addi.

This was the first young lady that had helped him when he just woke up In that cave, seeing her help him and him not being annoyed or anything at the time, the damned village head took the liberty to assign her to Addi as his personal servant.

Perhaps it was due to his personal curiosity, or maybe because of Omis who always spoke about his disciples. Addi was tempted to take her under his wing.

Her talent for cultivation was certainly there, and more surprising was the fact that she was suitable to study his spear arts.

So on a whim, Addi decided to impart the basic breathing technique to set her on the road of cultivation. He did not explain much, he merely stated that if she managed to break into the middle stage of Qi gathering in a week then he would consider taking her in as a disciple.

To his surprise, the hardworking lady not only made it to the middle stage in three days but broke to the peak of Qi gathering in a week!

'She is without a doubt, a genius.' muttered Addi to himself as he looked at the lady staring at him with a smile.

While the rest of the villagers were on their knees kowtowing so low, she simply gave a respectful bow and stood firm in front of him, her bright eyes were full of respect as she looked at him.

Another sigh escaped Addi's lips as he spoke.

"What did I end up getting myself into." He said as he rubbed the bridge of his nose, he could feel a headache coming.

"That's it?" Asked Omis, his voice betraying the anxiousness he was feeling.

"That's it, sir Omis." Answered Dina with a nod.

"So, she'll be okay now?" He added, his gaze not moving away from Lu Lu who was lying inside the furnace in the middle of the room.

It turned out, the furnace was Dina's treasure. She used it for all sorts of things, from making pills to creating elixirs.

She had pulled out a few multi-colored jars and poured them into the furnace before asking Omis to place Lu Lu inside to soak in the medicine.

Once inside, Dina then closed the furnace lid and turned the fire up. Needless to say, Omis was apprehensive yet he still chose to swallow his concerns and refrain from saying anything.

He anxiously waited as time passed by slowly, occasionally, Dina would change the temperature of the fire, her forehead was soon covered with sweat, an expression of extreme concentration was on her face.

Seeing that, Omis dared not speak as he simply chose to move a step back and sat down cross-legged while waiting.

It turned out that, that in times such as these, cultivation was truly the best way to get his worries out of his mind.

Breath in and out, letting the Qi inside as it moved across every nock and cranny of his body before moving it outside. Slowly but surely, his nerves began to calm down.

Soon, the sweet medicinal aroma covered the entirety of the second floor. Opening his eyes, Omis's gaze fell on Dina whose face had a frown on it as she raised both of her hands towards the sky.

He could feel a strange Qi dancing in her palms as she guided it towards the fire under the furnace.

*Boom*

A small explosion suddenly shook the floor as the lid came flying off. Seeing that, Omis quickly shot to his feet and moved towards the furnace with lightning-fast speed.

Dina's face was tired yet held a small satisfied smile as she glanced at the inside of the furnace where Lu Lu was at.

Her complexion was immensely better, the various red veins that littered her body were nowhere to be seen, while the numerous cuts and all the bruises in her milky white skin were also gone.

Her eyes were still closed, yet now a relaxed expression was on her face as she laid there peacefully.

"You sure that's it?" Added Omis.

"Haha, yes sir Omis she's fine now." Replied Dina with a laugh.

"Oh, please just call me Omis. Thank you, If there is anything I can do to repay your kindness, then, please don't hesitate to ask." He said with a deep bow.

Moving her hand to hide her mouth, Dina gave a sweet smile before answering.

"It's okay Omis, a friend of Silas is a friend of mine. If anything comes up i'll be sure to ask for you." She said while shooting him a teasing smile.

"Now then, if you'll excuse me. I have to get some rest. Take the young lady out as well, there are rooms upstairs just pick any but the last one on the hall because that's mine." Said Dana as she started walking out of the room before stopping and turning towards him.

"Well, unless you want to get naughty." She added while shooting him a flirtatious glance before leaving the floor with a laugh.

"Uh...huh." muttered Omis, confused about what had just happened.
