My plans

Upon showing the ring to the guards, they displayed a look of shock, which quickly turned into one of sorrow.

"I see... You can enter." Was the only thing that one of the guardsmen were able to say, possibly due to their sorrow overwhelming the vocals within their throat.

For a second, I studied their faces, trying to find out how important the guy was, and sympathizing with them. In the end, I gave them my suggestion. I told them the location of the guy, and how his back seems to be his only injury. The problem is, I continued, telling them that the real problem is that there is a great chance for another beast to appear, which may be dangerous as the same beast that had killed the entire group that the guy went with.

To make them a little bit more aware of the situation, since it seems that they were willing to go and save their friend after I told them that he was okay, I proceeded to tell them about the gruesome sight, and warned them about something similar that might potentially happen to them if they were to go without caution. However, no matter how dangerous I make the situation seem to be, they were still willing to go. They are true warriors I guess, or perhaps the relationship that they have with that man is something quite unique…

"Don't worry, we understand. You're not a cultivator, and that's why the danger is too much for you to help him. But we are cultivators. We train to risk our life, because through trials, we grow stronger." The same guardsman decided to talk for the other guardsman as well.

Okay… What are these two talking about, I wondered. Cultivators? Like farmers? I am so confused… Wait, I remember… Right! Like those monks, but different. I see what they mean now. It means that I am once again, f*cked!

"Hehe." I gave the two men a fake laugh, and simply walked through the bridge with my doom envisioning itself inside my mind.

Seriously! Cultivators?! Like those people that cultivate the world's spirit energy into their own. Those monsters that can create nuclear explosions by shouting alone?! I am so done for… For so many minutes, I wasn't even paying attention to where I was going. Damn! I even forgot to ask the guards for direction. I need to calm down, I'm panicking too much. Maybe… Maybe the necklace's effects still work. I can charm them and then create my own legion of women cultivators. Yes… That is a solid plan for me to have a guaranteed chance of surviving in this unknown world, while I thread my way to become a powerful cultivator too.

Xianner… I guess she'll be my target, to see if I still have my charming ability. Of course, I will just try to see if she is super friendly and obedient, since that guy might still be alive, and that he probably loved her with all his heart. Hey, I appreciate romance, okay! No way would I "N. Thee. Are" a nice couple. But of course, if she's a widow though… Hehehe… Mommy?

It took me around ten minutes to find her actually. She didn't live to far, and indeed did I only have to ask a random person to show me the way. There was no hindrance as I made my way, and because I was still wearing my sleeping robe, I wasn't a sore to the eye of the many. The only difference was that my robe looked new, and that it was the type that no cultivator wore. Based on those two differences, the people must've assumed that I was from another region, or someone that was the son of a rich.

*Knock* *Knock* I knocked on the door that I had been led to. "Thank you fine sir!" I yelled out loud to the disappearing figure of the person that had helped me, as I waited for Xianner to open the door.

It took at least a minute for the door to open. Honestly, I truly wondered why it took that long… But I didn't knock again, and simply waited. She might be a bit occupied with something important, after all, and me being the respectful gentlemen, I knew not to irritate people that I did not know well.

"Hey~" I tried to be as charming as possible when the fine lady placed her eyes on me.

[Error!] A red pop up suddenly appeared in front of my face after I greeted the fine and mature looking lady.

[Mutation of gender detected. Genital not compatible for the host to enter]

[Calculating… Host's genital can not "Charm" in this universe passively]

[Universe's rule detected…]

[System updating…]

[Updated]

[Think of the word "Yes" if you want to check the changes within the update. Think of the word "Interface" if you want to check all of the system's features]

[Version 69.69 - Charm no longer usable -0- Removed. +Added - PP power up -]

[Good luck!]

What the… I was baffled and couldn't say anything after the continuous pop ups of surprises. The necklace was some type of system?! I did not know anything about that. Well, now it is a system I guess. Before, it was a charming trinket, I assume. So yeah… Big changes. Very big changes…

"Hello? Hellooo…" The lady in front of me was waving her hands to get me out of my thoughts.

"Oh, my apologies." I immediately apologized. "It's just that I don't know how to say this… Let's just say, your husband might be alive or dead."

"What?!" She seemed to be a little enraged from my brazen words, probably thinking that I was joking around.

To calm her down, and to not make the situation worse, I immediately placed the ring of the guy in front of her, for her to see.

"Here, your… I'm not sure who exactly, told me to give this to you if he dies, and I think that I am supposed to receive a share as well, of what's inside. I notified the guards already, and they're already on their way."

Upon my reassurance, the lady released a sigh of relief, and gratefully thanked me for the immediate news.
