88 Imperial Etiquette

"I can't continue to be a burden on Areishia. First of all, regain my mobility."

Even though being raised by a beautiful girl was a new experience for him, Ars didn't want to bother his benefactor. Especially after seeing Areishia's poor life.

Closing his eyes, he cultivated the Void Imperfection Physique.

This world is filled with Spiritual Energy, this is good news for Ars who cannot access Idataen's boundless energy.

His body greedily absorbed the Spiritual Energy in the air, entered the Inner Physique, and slowly repaired the cracks.

When people cultivate, they forget how much time has passed.

Ars' cultivation was interrupted by the sounds of goats outside.

(Areishia has returned. I have to make progress, at least heal my wound.)

He was irritated that he had not made any progress after cultivating for so long, it only proved how badly his injuries were.

*Whoosh*

Ars sped up the cultivation process, the Spiritual Energy within a 500 meter radius was being sucked in by it.

Spiritual Energy cannot be seen by ordinary people. At most, they only felt the wind blow quite hard.

"Big brother Ars, I'm back. Are you hungry?"

Entering the room, Areishia thought Ars was sleeping. Not wanting to disturb him, she closed the door and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

On the other hand, Ars' hard work finally paid off. A clear and cool feeling enveloped his entire body.

He felt his whole body enveloped in comfort. It was the same feeling as soaking in a stream of hot water after a long tiring day, causing all of his pores to open up in relaxation.

Then all the pain in his body disappeared.

"Too slow. If I only relied on the Spiritual Energy in the world, it would take hundreds of years to restore all of my strength… So be it, most importantly all my injuries have healed."

Ars tore off the bandages on his body as he fell to the ground.

Areishia opened the door once again and entered carrying freshly baked bread.

Her gaze fell on Ars' eyes. Her pupils widened as her smile turned to one of extreme horror as she let out a loud scream.

"Kyaaa~ Big brother Ars is a pervert!"

With a blush on her face, Areishia dashed out as if running away.

"Areishia?"

Seeing her reaction, Ars was confused for a moment. Looking down, he found himself naked!

"No wonder she's embarrassed. After all, she's a 12 year old girl, of course she would be embarrassed to see a grown man's naked body."

He understood the cause and effect of Areishia's reaction just now. Then Ars was about to take the clothes into [Storage Magic].

"Haaa... Even [Storage Magic] can't be used either."

Sighing in disappointment, he found himself unable to use any mystic abilities. In other words, he was no different from an ordinary human!

Checking the room, apart from the girls' shabby clothes, Ars didn't find any men's clothes.

*Knock Knock Knock*

"Big brother Ars, I brought you clothes, I put them in front of the door. And sorry for calling you a pervert."

Areishia's embarrassed voice sounded behind the door.

"It's also my fault for not paying attention, don't think about it too much."

Opening the door, Ars didn't see Areishia's figure, but the clothes on the floor.

Taking the clothes, he began to dress.

Clothing consists of a t-shirt and shorts. Both clothes were made of coarse thread and were very uncomfortable against the skin. Even so, Ars did not complain.

After getting dressed, he looked for Areishia and found her in the kitchen.

"Big brother Ars..."

Areishia didn't dare look directly into Ars's eyes, the blush on her cheeks had not disappeared. Seeing naked men was too much for a pure and innocent girl like her.

"Is dinner ready?"

"Ah, yes. The bread I baked today smells delicious. Big brother Ars will like it."

"Oh, you look confident. All right, let me try."

Since there was no dining table, the two of them ate on the floor.

"How does it feel?"

"Um, not bad."

"Only not bad? I was expecting Big brother Ars to say delicious."

"Your cooking bread is not bad, it's just the strength of the sweet taste."

"What can I do, I don't have enough money to buy sugar."

Ars finished his bread quickly, then cupped Areishia's cheek, so that they both stared at each other.

"Don't show such a sad expression, it spoils your cute face. As an expression of gratitude for helping me selflessly, I will help and always be by your side until the end of your life. This is my promise as the Immortal Emperor!" He said earnestly.

It wasn't just a verbal promise, it was imperial etiquette.

For Immortal Emperors, betrayal was definitely not allowed. Immortal Emperors could mercilessly kill countless people, but they could never betray.

Ars is no exception. He had made a promise, so he had to keep it and not betray. Generally speaking, Immortal Emperors would not easily make promises.

It could be seen that he really appreciated Areishia from the bottom of his heart.

He might lose his mystic powers. But he has not lost the ability to judge others. Throughout his life spanning a millennium, Ars had never met a single person as pure as Areishia.

"Big brother Ars' words were like a marriage proposal." Areishia didn't know how precious an Immortal Emperor's promise was.

"Stupid, you are too young for me." Ars flicked his forehead with a faint smile.

"Ouch, Big brother Ars is so cruel."

Holding her forehead, Areishia pretended to be in pain. For some reason, she felt very comfortable interacting with the man she had just met.

(Maybe because I'm lonely.) She thought she enjoyed chatting with Ars.

She even forgot to ask why Ars' wound suddenly healed.

...

Night.

There is no entertainment in this village. Let alone entertainment, the darkness of the night is only lit by candles. Unfortunately, Areishia didn't have any money to buy candles, and her house was pitch black.

Maybe because she was still a child, she felt sleepy and fell asleep right away.

"Good night, Areishia. Sweet dreams."

In the darkness, Ars pulled the blanket over Areishia's body. Then leave the house.

The darkness of the night did not affect his sense of sight. He surveyed the surroundings of the village.

Apart from the sounds of crickets and owls, the village was very quiet. However, with his keen sense of hearing, Ars could hear the sighs of women and men.

Even though he's been a virgin for a millennium, he knows a lot about sexual aspects through videos and manga.

"Well, considering there's no entertainment in this village, it's no wonder sex is their only solace."

Ignoring the sighs from several houses, Ars explored the village. After finding nothing out of the ordinary, he left the village and headed for the forest.

He really saw the Revolting Spirit with his two eyes.

"I want to know, which is stronger between Bijuu and Revolting Spirit."

He rubbed the Tailed Beast Suppressing Necklace around his neck.

A few minutes later, Ars arrived in the forest. He walked aimlessly while looking left and right like a lost man.

"Oh, what do humans do in the middle of the forest at night. Aren't you afraid of being attacked by wild animals or Revolting Spirits?

"

A girl's voice caught Ars' attention.

He turned his head to see the source of the sound.

Sitting on a branch of a tree, a beautiful girl was wearing a dark black dress, long black lustrous hair that reached waist length, and twilight colored eyes that seemed to draw your soul into them.

And the part that stood out the most about the girl was the pair of black wings growing from her back. She is very similar to the Fallen Angel in the legends.

(Are the women in this world really that beautiful? Even South Korean celebrities who have done plastic surgery, are nothing compared to Areishia and the girl in front of me.) Ars thought admiring the level of beauty of women in this world.

"If a little girl like you can come here, why can't I?" Ars said lightly.

"Little girl? You mean me? Fufufu... You say interesting things, human. I'm probably a lot older than you, you know." The girl giggled.

This was the first time she had encountered a human who was not afraid of her.

Ars raised his eyebrows and said: "Want to compare ages with me? You are 1000 years too soon, little girl."

He was now 1118 years old, he couldn't believe that the little girl was older than himself, even if the other party wasn't human.

"Interesting human. What's your name?"

"Isn't it impolite to ask others before introducing yourself."

"That is true."

The little girl pondered for a moment and nodded. Standing up, she lifted the hem of her skirt slightly and acted elegantly.

"My name is Restia Ashdoll, greetings brave human."

"I'm Ars, nice to meet you, Restia."
