YIN-YANG DEVOURER

"So you intend to return to your family?" Lira asked as she lay comfortably in Ruvan's arms. Currently both were submerged in a bathtub after having had hours of intense pleasure. It wasn't until about two hours in that they both realized that they had not activated the sound matrix.

'Well it's not like it's a secret' They said to each other before continuing with their pleasure session...

"It's not that I intend to, but it is simply my obligation as a member of the Family."

"There is less than a year left until the Imperial Academy entrance exam… It is the obligation of every member of the family to attend the Academy…"

"But it all depends on my father."

"If my father decides to maintain my exile then I will have no choice but to stay in this place… After all I must avoid my family's areas of influence…"

Ruvan at this time was using an alias due to his special status. Several powerful members within the Svarnas family sought to hunt him down, due to this he had maintained a false identity even being on a fairly remote continent far from the Vylas Empire.

"Even if they called you back you should refuse."

"After all, your family not only exiled you but also sent assassins to kill you," Lira said furiously. Ruvan had been chased by several assassins sent by his uncles when he was on his way to this place… It was thanks to his grandfather's intervention that he was still alive.

"Well I can't blame them… After all I left three of my uncles children completely crippled hahaha."

"Even the Divine Doctors hired by the Family gave reserved prognosis for their recovery," Ruvan said with a smile which betrayed his delight at his actions.

Upon learning what had happened to their children, Ruvan's Uncles demanded justice by asking their father, the current patriarch of the powerful Svarnas Family, for the death penalty or at least for his cultivation to be paralyzed. However when everything seemed completely dark for the young man Ruvan, his grandfather came out of his seclusion to save him from death, decreeing his exile as punishment.

Although his uncles wanted to object, they could do little against his grandfather's authority. Ruvan was eventually sent into exile to a low cultivation continent; however his uncles were unwilling to settle the matter and hired assassins to deal with Ruvan. These assassins almost achieved their goal but were directly thwarted by Ruvan's grandfather who suspected his sons plans against his grandson.

"It is also thanks to my grandfather that I am still alive and with my cultivation intact… In a way it would be ungrateful to turn my back on the person who supported me the most," Ruvan said with a rarely seen serious expression on his face.

"So what's the plan? Will we cross the entire Sea of ​​Kyras to return to your home?" Lira asked doubtfully after all at this moment they were on a small continent called Marxus, named after a legendary cultivator who was supposedly born on this small continent hundreds of thousands of years ago.

"Hmmm, most likely they are sending people for me… Also my father surely has spies monitoring my activities so it wouldn't be strange for them to know about my recent activities haha" Ruvan said with a smile.

"But won't your father still be angry with you for stealing a portion of the Clan's treasure before you left?" Lira asked with a hint of concern.

"Hmmm, it's most likely that he already forgot about it hahaha"

"Besides.."

"That's not my fault... after everything. What a hell they expected from a thirteen-year-old boy to do in an unknown land with no money? It was my priority to guarantee my own survival" Ruvan said with an offended expression.

"Besides, my Family is rich enough to recover from my little looting…"

"Hahahahahaha... As shameless as ever" Lira mocked before continuing to chat with Ruvan for a while longer.

The mercenary caravan continued its march the next day, encountering one or another group of bandits from time to time, with whom they dealt with without major difficulties.

"Poor idiots…They attacked without even realizing that our group has Eight Golden Core Cultivators" one of the mercenaries mocked as he grabbed one of the badly injured bandits who had been captured.

"It is evident that these idiots are inexperienced bandits… They were surely forced to do it" Ruvan said as he examined the poor equipment of the group of bandits.

"According to one of the bandits, many of them are members of ancient sects that were destroyed during the Purple Mountain Sect's conflict with the Three Swords Sect," Lira said at that time.

"Hmm"

"Didn't the others have any difficulty dealing with the bandits?" Ruvan asked while taking a few bites of a fruit.

"No captain."

"Right now Captain Wiltord's men are having fun with the bandits while throwing stones at them…"

"On the other hand, Captain Jiri's soldiers seem to be examining the appearances of the bandits... Only Commander Aaron's men seem to be doing the same as us" Lira said with an ironic smile.

"Well, wait for Commander Aaron's signal to continue with the march... For days I have wanted to sleep in a proper bed," Ruvan said with some annoyance while massaging his shoulders. Flying beasts were extremely rare on this small continent so it was almost impossible to acquire one of them, this logically made travel extremely difficult, since these could only be done by land.

"Yes captain"

"At last" "

"We arrived at the City of Waves" Lira said as she looked at a huge walled port which was located on the seashore.

"Whoa, I've never seen so many ships," Little Xin, who was standing next to Ruvan, said at that moment.

"That's because this port connects the Marxus continent with two other continents," Ruvan said with a smile as he looked at the map of the City. He had never been to the City of Waves before but this did not stop him from acquiring a little information before coming.

"The bandits say that the fish from this place are first class" Lira said with her mouth salivating.

"Hahaha"

"Don't worry, we'll go try the food when we finish doing our business," Ruvan said with a smile before getting back on Viridis.

"Captain, could I also try the fish?" Xin asked in a shy but quite adorable way.

"Of course. The entire squad will have a banquet" Ruvan said with a smile, causing the group of soldiers to cheer the Captain's name.

"Captain Jakob we love you"

"Captain Jakob marry my wife please"

"Hahahahaha"
