Separation

My plan before was to make this novel's update be based on donations before... Like, every day, I`ll produce a single chapter, then depending on the donation, it will increase.

I was thinking of 120 chapters a month, well, I could make 7 chaps a day, so 120 chaps a month is little to nothing.

Right now, I'm taking 2 part-time jobs of 8 hours a day, I`m planning to quit, due to exhaustion and only earning $300 a month...

Since no donation is flowing, I will be accepting the contract by the end of July and update 50~60 chapters a month, that way, I can earn $300 a month without a sweat's worth. I still need to finish the 3 months worth of time so that it wouldn't hurt my resume that I quit after working for 2 months in a fast-food restaurant.

I`ll ask for you guy's opinion now, how or in what way should I make the premium chapters?

Example: starting from chapter 200, it will be all premium?

Or will it be the latest 50 premium chapters? An example would be, chapter 200 free, and 201~250 will be premium, then, as soon as it reached 251, the premium chapter will be 202~251. 201 will be free. (214 Words)

A few miles away from the Vermillion Sonata Kingdom.

Chu Zhuen's group is flying with no direction. One of the elders spoke.

"Which place will we go first?"

"It will be disadvantageous for our prince if the news reached the Empire that he had a feud with the Medical Saint's apprentice... and lost!"

"Then let's first go to the organization and request help."

Another one nods; "Yes, if the prince gets into a disadvantage, our organization's plan will be disrupted."

Everyone nods their head; "We only need three months..."

"Three months more..."

After finally getting a conclusion, their group made their way towards the Eastern Seas.

Meanwhile, far away from their location, two experts looked at their departing backs.

"Should we go on a pursuit?"

The other one shook her head; "No, Supreme Elder only told us to protect."

The other one nods her head as the two of them vanishes without a trace.

Meanwhile, back in the throne room.

Deadly silence surrounds everyone still, unable to digest what actually happened earlier.

Only he, the Sword Emperor stood with a frown on his face, seeing everyone's expression, he starts to walk out without saying anything to them, merely vanishing with a trace from the throne room.

A few seconds later, The Sword Emperor arrives on top of the Vermillion Sonata Kingdom. He looks at the south, mostly looking at the direction of Zhi Huan Royal Kingdom, where Mo Xie and his Clan came from.

The Sword Emperor started to move towards the south: "Are you there? Hiding for so many years... Are you planning to do something?"

"Lu Yue Song!"

The Sword Emperor spoke through gritted teeth, this character is someone he deeply revered, but due to a previous event, Lu Yue Song vanished without leaving a single trace.

Sword Emperor's thought process became chaotic.

Mo Xie possessing the Martial Intent at such a young age. But Lu Yue Song didn't have any attainment towards Medicine, this thought made his mind go crazy.

"But what if... all this time, Lu Yue Song made a breakthrough?"

After a while, Sword Emperor shook his head; "I need to find him first, questions will be answered by that time!"

Mo Xie entered a courtyard, but before he could go in, three silhouettes approached him from behind as they run towards him; "Brother!"

Mo Xie remembered this person's voice, although he's been completely exhausted, a smile formed on his lips as he looks back; "Brother."

These three is none other than Huotian, Shenyu, and Uncle Shi.

Huotian immediately approaches Mo Xie, touching his arms, shoulder, and head for any injuries.

Mo Xie chuckles: "You better not go down..."

Hearing Mo Xie's words, Huotian immediately stops. He coughs a few times as he steadied himself, looking at Mo Xie he asks; "Hey! You still have the time to joke around, are there any injuries on your body?"

Mo Xie chuckles; "Not really, you know I'm well versed in medicine, now I just need to rest."

Huotian nods his head repeatedly; "Good, good, that's all good if you're only exhausted."

Mo Xie nods his head; "What about you? You're going to travel?"

Huotian just remembered and replied: "Yes, actually..."

Huotian was about to reply but saw the two goddesses behind Mo Xie.

Mo Xie nods his head: "Don't worry."

Huotian nods and continued: "Well... We will travel for the first time in my life... Beyond the borders of the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire and into the Demon Race's territory."

Mo Xie moves his gaze towards Shenyu, the latter bows her head and smiled at him.

Mo Xie smiled back, he then looks back at Shang Ting; "Wife, can I borrow your scarf?"

Shang Ting without any hesitation nods her head and removes it as she handed the scarf to Mo Xie: "Here."

Mo Xie took it; "I was planning to increase its strength but I`ll do it once the three of you return."

Mo Xie walks forward with the scarf on his hand, Huotian smiled, not knowing what this scarf is and was about to take it, but Mo Xie passed by him and handed the scarf to Shenyu.

Huotian blushed but clears his throat to avoid the embarrassing situation.

"This is?" Shenyu felt a little bewildered, Mo Xie actually handed to her a scarf that was worn by his wife.

Mo Xie smiled at her; "Just make sure to always wear it, never remove it no matter the situation, stick close to it, understood?"

"Y-yes!" Shenyu felt shocked, Mo Xie's tone became serious as he warned her.

Shenyu wrapped it around her neck, but at the next moment, her body started to fly as white lights wrapped around her body.

All of them looked at Shenyu in shock, only Mo Xie and Aiqing remained expressionless at this point.

"Brother, what was that?" Huotian asked, Uncle Shi was about to ask the same but was beaten by Huotian.

"That... It's merely accepting my order to protect Shenyu from any harm for as long as it can." Mo Xie explained.

Huotian still couldn't believe what happened as he asks: "This is?"

"That's a Sky-grade soul armament." Mo Xie casually spoke.

"Soul armament?" Huotian asked he has no knowledge about it. But there is someone, the person that's behind him for a long time.

For the first time, Uncle Shi pushed aside Huotian as he grabbed both Mo Xie's arms; "S-soul armament?!"

Mo Xie looked at Shi Lue Yu weirdly, Huotian grabs his uncle's right arm his left hand: "Uncle, what's wrong?!"

"That..." Shi Lue Yu loosens his grip on Mo Xie's arms.

Calming down, Shi Lue Yu looked at Shi Huotian: "That... Soul Armaments are... like treasures of the past, these items are hard to find, even our Shi Immortal Clan only has three of them, and only one of them is a Sky-grade while the other two are Earth-grade."

Huotian looked at Mo Xie with shock, his gaze slowly moves towards his uncle and asked; "And... how much does one cost?"

Shi Lue Yu looks at Mo Xie and spoke: "The most useless Sky-grade soul armament bought from the auction costs at least 1,500 Spiritual Stones... It all depends on the Soul Armament's ability."

Huotian's mind went to chaos and started to calculate in his mind.

1,500 Spiritual Stones...

1 Spiritual Stones costs 10,000 Gold Taels...

15,000,000 Gold Taels..."

Huotian looked at his uncle and spoke: "Uncle... That's at least a quarter of our Clan's fortune..."

Shi Lue Yu nods his head; "And that's the lowest ability..."

Shi Lue Yu looks at Mo Xie: "May I ask the Mo Patriarch for this Soul Armanent's ability?"

Mo Xie pondered for a bit before replying: "Well, it's an elemental defensive armament, it also has offensive attacks, and has a storage ability."

Shi Lue Yue sighs and looks at Huotian: "Even if we double our Clan's entire fortune, we wouldn't be able to afford such a Soul Armament..."

Shi Huotian looks at Mo Xie, the latter then spoke: "Well, don't mind it for now, just think that your fiancee will be safe with it."

Huotian felt hesitant, but after a while nods his head; "This debt, I will definitely pay!"

Mo Xie chuckles: "We're brothers, what's there to pay. Just return safely."

Huotian and Shenyu bows; "We will."

But as Huotian and Shenyu were about to go away, a silhouette of a cute and beautiful child hops, skips, and jumps in front of Mo Xie: "Father! Let me go with them!"

"Ehh?!"
