75

While he was looking at the night sky a silhouette could be seen rushing past in the night sky towards his abode.

Knave knew it was so he left his door open and went inside. Within no time at all, a person came in and kneeled beside him on one leg in a very respectful manner and waited.

It was obviously Shauna who had just arrived still in the getup of Shaun. Looking at her in such a submissive state even gave Knave some shock as he had just seen today how she had fought with Zack.

But if no one knew her looked at her now they would think that she was in her most basic form as if this manners were ingrained in her bones.

Knave knew that this girl had a story about her past but he still did not want to force her to tell him. He wanted her to come out and tell him her story of her own initiative.

"So, you have finally come. How is your condition, has the pain gone down?" Knave asked

"Yes, Master! There is no more pain and I can go through my daily activities without any problem!" Shauna answered.

"Good! These are the pills that I have prepared for you. Instead of the pill that you had been eating, eat this. This will slowly loosen your dependence In the addiction pill and also help when you have your menstrual cycle." Knave said passing her two bottles.

"Thank you, Master!!" Shauna said with a hint of happiness in her eyes. When she had heard that he would help her with her problem she had thought that it was only a ruse used to make her his slave but now seeing these pills made her impression of her new 'Master' improve.

"There are enough pills for a year in the bottles, once you are about to complete them tell me and I will then start the next process of your addiction recovery." Knave said.

"Yes, Master. Shauna will keep that in mind." Shauna said in a polite manner.

Now what I want you to do is very simple. I need to use your abode from time to time when I need to practice alchemy as I can't do that in the open.

I would also require you to do some tasks for me like looking for some herbs or other such things. But for now, let's talk about your overall cultivation so that I can make a more detailed plan." Kanve asked.

"Master, I have entered the 8th stage of the shackled realm. As for the body cultivation, I have not paid to much focus on it son I have only entered the 5th stage of the mortal body a month ago.

That was also only possible because I was able to buy the body nourishing pill but that cost around 400 spirit stones so I don't have much spirit stones left on me.

As for the fighting tactics I am quite proficient in the swords play as well as I have mastered the wind steps so I am quite agile." Shauna revealed all her secrets of her training without any hesitation.

Even though it may look like she was quite honest and had told him everything, he knew that some of the matters had been held back.

He didn't know what it was but he didn't care too much about it. He himself had a body in the 7th stage of the mortal realm and according to his latest speed of cultivation, his body would break through to the 8th stage in a month or two, meaning he wouldn't have to worry about her overpowering him by then.

Even though he had taken her in as a slave he didn't totally believe it was effective. The talisman was given to him by Elder Fryer with his high-grade pills on the first day as his assistant.

The elder had not told about the talisman but it was there inside the pouch with a slip beside it telling it's features.

According to the slip, the talisman would work on anybody who had not entered the peak of the spirit refining realm.
