Chapter 94: 10 Days Later

(May 30, 1336)

It's been 10 days since the rank battles, and I've moved out of my master's mansion as it robs me of my freedom to talk to Thanatos or talk to myself. The house I moved into was in district 7, where every single house has a second floor, unlike my previous house in District 8. I have a king-size bed here, a grander sofa than before, bookshelves full of books, a kitchen larger than my previous one, tools stationed around the kitchen table in case of emergencies, and a dining table with 4 chairs on each side.

And not only that, this house has 4 bedrooms for some reason I didn't know why though, until one day, on May 26, my 6th day in the house, my teammates also moved in. Yes, you heard that right, my TEAMMATES moved in with me… The freedom I so desired was shattered at that moment.

Turns out, every team has to stay in the same house until further notice. And, not only that, the document we signed back then when we were registering for the Rank Battles sealed the deal with my team. Nobody can leave the team without the sect's permission, and boy oh boy, am I not glad. I'll have to deal with Scarlet and Randy all the time! My god! When can I catch a break?

And for some reason, Scarlet and Randy would try to take away my chips and sweets whenever they see me eating them, saying that they're bad for my health. But, thankfully, they were too slow and too weak to take my precious snacks away. If I felt like it, I would've taken away their meals every time I see them eating, but I didn't.

But Alice… Alice has never done any injustice towards me. She's so sweet and cute! My Alice is just too adorable! I will never get tired of her cuteness, sigh…

Anyway, the curfew is still the same: 5AM to 8PM. Be late and your ass will be kicked. Those people with black hoods surely don't f*ck around.

I think the reason they had teams stay in the same house is to save space. The sect is expanding every year, more and more disciples are coming, and the sect is running out of space. To save space, they just had teams stay in the same house.

I don't really mind that, not at all. If only Scarlet would stop sneaking in my room at night, then everything would be alright.

In my room, the master bedroom that I stole from my teammates, I was talking to my scythe, Thanatos.

"Che, I don't really like it when I'm inside your storage ring," He said, feeling disgusted.

"This is the last time, I promise. Just don't talk in front of other people, I cannot have them knowing that I have a weapon that has the potential to cleave continents into two," I sighed, knowing that the risk I'm taking is too dangerous. I can't trust other people with the knowledge that I have a talking weapon, not even my own family.

"Tch, fine, just as long as you don't put me inside there again."

"Don't worry, I won't. Anyway, I think Helia is having fun staying with Flare, as far as I know. Sarah is also taking care of her sometimes, along with the other kids. And Vivian, she has her worries but she can take care of a child rather easily since she was our babysitter when Alexander was out buying stuff. Hmm, who should I also entrust Helia too? Flare, Sarah, Vivian, Ordea, and Alexa have their own schedules, so I'll need another one to take care of her. And there's Cordelia too. Meh, I'll let them take care of it," I said, a bit carefree.

You see, I had a talk with all the older teens under Alexander, and it's safe to say that they practically agreed to raising Helia. Vivian wanted to take care of the child since she is currently taking care of the other kids but we discussed that she also has other plans, such as being social to other disciples, cultivating, and thinking of her future. So, we had a lot of things to plan since another one is joining our already big family. But I didn't want any of the boys to take care of her since Helia is a girl.

Vivian is 16 years old, about to be 17 this year on July 6, and she has violet hair, purple eyes, tanned skin, beautiful oval-shaped face, and is decent in all parts of her body. She is a stunning girl, but she's not like those female disciples that flaunt their bodies to male disciples. She is humble and a caring girl, even sacrificing most of her time to take care of our younger siblings.

Most of the time, she would be seen in her small house in district 8 with the 12 kids with her, among them is Flame, who is Flare's younger brother, but he only visits from time to time and mostly spends his time with his sister. The sect allows for her to have so many children in her house, and, in fact, the 16th Elder, a beautiful woman in her 30s, took pity on her and decided to expand Vivian's house in District 8 for a bit so she could have more space for the children.

Thinking about what she has done till now makes me feel guilty. I should probably visit her and take some of the kids with me from time to time, to lessen her burden.

Sarah does take care of the other kids also but she's pretty bad at it, though comparing her with our other siblings would be like comparing heaven and earth. Many of my older siblings are too focused with their cultivation, and I think that's bad for their health. It's been proven that the more a cultivator spends time cultivating, the more they will suffer in the later stages. They should take the time to relax and have some fun, and not just stay in their houses, cultivating for the remainder of their days.

But meh, that's their problem. They'll learn when they learn. And they're older than me? Pah, I have more common sense than them.

Anyway, Sarah is also another beautiful girl, but petite. She is around the age of 15, her birthday being March 13. She has this beautiful onyx hair, kind and warm aquamarine eyes, heart-shaped face, and flawless white skin. She has absolutely never had a pimple on her face. But she is clumsy, though some men do like that kind of thing.

Ordea, though, is not as beautiful as the previous two but she is pretty enough for men to fall for her after some time. She has stunning green eyes, neck-long almond-colored hair, white skin, and a round-shaped face. She has freckles everywhere on her body for some reason but that only adds to her beauty. Ordea is also a bookworm, like us and Alice. But she makes time to spend with others, such as her friends.

Alexa is a, uh, bit complicated regarding her face since her hair is always in the way. It is rumored that no one knows her true face, not even Alexander. She also covers her body with thick clothing. But she does show features such as her skin on her hands when she's not wearing gloves. She's a kind girl, that's why I sometimes entrust Helia to her.

All of them are beautiful in their own ways, and some dudes might've started trying to ask them out on dates, but…

I'll never give my sisters to anyone unworthy! When some worthless male disciple dares to make a move on them, they'll have to go through me! Call me possessive, but I just want to protect my lovely sisters. I'm sure Vane thinks the same way.

And I sometimes find myself growing some crushes on my sisters, but that would always go away after some time. For example, I had some crush on Flare for some time, but that faded along the time.

Hey, don't look at me like that! I'm not being overprotective of them due to my previous feelings for them! Maybe. A bit. Okay, fine, you got me. A little, okay? Happy now?

Anyway, forget about that. I'm going to do a mission tomorrow!
