Jaga's past

Marek got nervous. He didn't know where Vlad was but knew he couldn't tell them this. The women would go crazy if they knew what had happened. He considered that it was the best for now. That's not to say that he stopped looking for his son.

The women gradually calmed down and approached Feng Yao to congratulate her on her pregnancy.

"Who would have thought you would be the first to get pregnant? I sincerely envy you," said Zara.

"I didn't expect it either. I think it's because Vlad awakened his special physique; that urge made me pregnant."

"That brat, he didn't even say goodbye to his grandmother," Alicja muttered crossly.

Celeste was excited. "Feng Yao, have you reported this to your family yet? Hehe, my grandson, I never thought that I would be a grandmother so soon. That brat is quite fast."

Feng Yao nodded, "I told my mother. She's very happy, but she asked me to talk to Vlad. I guess that won't be possible at the moment."

The atmosphere changed, and everyone felt more relaxed.

'I already sent people to look for him on all planes. I hope to find him soon', only Marek was worried.

Inside the main hall of the Qin clan, an important meeting was being held. The clan elders, the supreme elder, and the patriarch were deciding which juniors would participate in the upcoming Slora realm competition.

Suddenly, a man entered the main hall of the Qin clan.

"Patriarch Qin… Patriarch Qin, something terrible has happened."

This man was an older man who guarded the life jades of the Qin clan elites.

"What's going on?" The Qin clan's patriarch, Qing Jun, frowned.

"Young Master Qin Yan's life jade sha...shattered. Not only did he die. The three el... elders who accompanied him also di...died," the old man said tremblingly.

"What did you say?" Qin Jun's killing intent went out of control and flooded the entire room.

"Calm down, patriarch. We will avenge the death of your son and the elders. First, we must find out who did this." The high elder had to intervene.

Qin Jun looked at one of the elders and said, "Go to the Lin clan and ask for an explanation."

"YES, patriarch." The old man disappeared from the room and went to the Lin Clan.

The elders of the Qin clan had different opinions.

"Let's send a group of elders to investigate."

"What if the other party is a powerful cultivator?"

"It's true. If we offend someone powerful, it could end our clan."

"Let's act immediately. The killer may escape if we don't take immediate action."

The Qin patriarch was about to lose his patience.

He was angry and wanted to kill the murderer of his only son with his own hands, but the clan may be involved. He calmed his mind and made what he considered the best decision.

"Since some of you are afraid, let's investigate first."

"The patriarch is wise."

They all praised, but deep down. They were upset that the patriarch called them cowards.

Two days have passed since Vlad and Jaga entered the forest.

Jaga ate her fill, and Vlad took the opportunity to train his skills fighting against celestial beasts.

Vlad killed several 3-star celestial beasts and stored them in his portable world, the body of a beast was a walking treasure for a blacksmith and rune expert like him. Not just skin, core, and bone, blood was also valuable.

Even though Vlad killed many beasts, he only gained 35,000 SP.

*Raina, why are the system points I earn for killing beasts so low?*. Vlad needed clarification.

'You received a lot of system points as a welcome gift and to celebrate getting Feng Yao pregnant. That is not to say that it is easy to earn points or rewards unless you do special missions. You should take more care of your coins and system points.'

*Sigh*

They were currently inside the portable world, in the master bedroom. Jaga rested on Vlad's chest while he stroked her hair.

"Jaga. Can you tell me about your past?"

"Yes, master. I was born in the Beast Emperor Divine Plane, and my world was called Golden Dragon. 9 out of 10 were Beasts there, and there were also other races, but it was rare to meet them".

"My mother died when I was little, and my father…."

*Sigh*.

"The relationship with my family was never good, I was the daughter of my clan leader, and my talent was mediocre. The resources they gave me were limited, and my cultivation could have been faster. So my father despised me, and I lost his support.

'Her talent was mediocre? But the system says that her talent is excellent,' Vlad thought as he listened to Jaga's story.

"I felt alone, and nobody supported me until I met a man. He took advantage of my situation, pretended to love me, and disappeared. At first, I was worried because I thought something had happened to him…." Tears rolled down his cheeks.

Vlad hugged her tighter and wiped away her tears.

"Do you still miss him?"

"No, master, these tears are from remembering everything I felt then. Loneliness, sadness, and despair. Right now, I only care about the master."

"I was desperate, at that moment I went to a famous fortune teller, she told me that he was still alive and he was fine, but that he was far away and no longer in a world close to mine. I was relieved but, at the same time, sad. He left without saying a word and abandoned me. Maybe the woman took pity on me because she saw me sad. She told me that I would meet a man who would make me happy one day."

"A man of fire, that's what she told me. " I think I understand what she meant," Jaga said with a big smile.

"I guess those words influenced you a lot, hahaha."

"Master, don't make fun of me."

Jaga hit Vlad's chest lightly.

"Hahaha, okay, okay. But how did you end up inside the ring? Did someone capture you?"

"Ring? I don't know anything about a ring."

"One day, an extremely powerful cultivator appeared in my clan. He offered my father treasures in exchange for a female from my clan. And I was selected. I was sold to that man by my father."

"I didn't resist because I thought he was the man the fortune teller spoke of, but he wasn't."

"At some point, I wondered if the fortune teller was wrong, that the man she said did not exist. The man who bought me had a cold temper and didn't pay attention to me. He didn't even talk to me. After finding a secluded place, he gave me a white fruit"."The fruit was extraordinary. It shone brightly and had strange patterns drawn on the surface. He said that the fruit would enhance my talent. I had nothing to lose, so I ate it. After that, I fell asleep, and the master was before me when I woke up."

'So that's what happened. Maybe that guy is the person who created the system'.

"Jaga, do you remember how he was the person who bought you?"

"I'm sorry, master. Even though I saw his face, that memory has disappeared. I do not remember".

Vlad smiled and said, "Well, that doesn't matter. Now you are mine, not only my contracted beast but also my woman, and I will never abandon you."

Jaga was moved, tears stealing down her cheeks. But this time, they were tears of happiness.

*sobs*

"Thank you, master. I will always be by your side."

They hugged for a long time before leaving the portable world.

When they left, they appeared again in the middle of the forest.

"Let's return to the city. I have unfinished business."

"Master, do you need my help?"

"Don't worry. I have to do this alone, plus I already made all the preparations."

They flew until they were close to the city. Jaga transformed, and they walked to the gates of the town.

A guard stopped them and charged them the entrance fee.

"Do I have to pay every time I enter the city?"

The guard looked at him, puzzled, "Young man if you don't want to pay to enter, go to the registry office and become an official citizen of the Slora kingdom."

"I'll go register. Where is the registry office?"

"The office is located in the west of the city…."

After receiving directions from the guard, Vlad went to register with Jaga.

He had to bribe the workers with 10,000 grade 1 spirit crystals to register them without doing the proper investigations.

Registering as a citizen was more complex than he thought. Registrars had to verify where they came from and check their backgrounds thoroughly.

Vlad wanted to avoid this, so he had no choice but to bribe them.

Now, citizens of the Celestial Temple City had to pay 1,000 spirit crystals annually. This was a tax collected by the Slora kingdom.

After checking, they returned to the hotel where they were staying. It was night, and Vlad wanted to execute his plan to capture Viktoria.

Inside the hotel room.

Vlad sat on the bed and took out a talisman and a black dagger that exuded an ancient aura.

"Master, that dagger seems very mysterious."

"This dagger is a gift from my father. It is called the Eye of the Storm and is used to break formations without anyone noticing. Today I will use it to sneak into Viktoria's room" Vlad had a devilish smile.

"Master, be careful."

"Jaga, you're waiting for me here. I'll come tomorrow morning".
