Death… and me

Chapter 294: Home Sweet Home

Juri and Alanda nodded.

‘He’s growing up just like any kid. He’s still two years old, so we have another three years before he starts to cultivate here in the Tribe. However, his talent will definitely appear at that time. At the moment, I’m not sure about what I’m going to do with him.’

Roan then asked.

‘Wouldn’t it be good enough to simply put him in the Dalamu Sect? You don’t need to worry about someone changing his way of thinking while we are there.’

Truth be told, Roan didn’t mind the kid that much. However, he still cared about his parents in this world. Keeping a Purple Color Talent here might be dangerous in the future if someone found out about it.

Juri narrowed his eyes.

‘What are you talking about? As if you two kids would have enough influence in a sect of that size to say something like that. Of course, I know you are not real kids, but that’s how you look in the eyes of the elders there.’

Rean shook his head.

‘Don’t worry. We do have this influence you talked about. You have no idea how many things happened during this time in the Dalamu Sect. We can guarantee that he won’t receive any brainwash treatment or anything like that.’

Juri and Alanda were quite surprised to hear that. Still, they know that Rean and Roan didn’t have a reason to lie. After all, with their cultivation, they could simply kidnap the kid, and no one would be able to stop them on the Varen Tribe. One must remember that Foundation Establishment was the highest cultivation available in this Tribe at the moment.

‘Well, if you say so, then I guess we can go ahead with this plan of yours. However, I would like to keep the kid in the Tribe for a few years after he starts cultivating. I won’t lie. The most important thing for me is for everyone to have a sense of belonging to our home, to not forget it. That’s how I always worked.’

Alanda agreed with Juri.

‘That’s right. Call it selfishness. We won’t mind. You and Malaka left the Tribe when you were 10 years old. We want to keep Drian here until around the same time. Well, the two of you were much older than 10, but you understand what I mean.’

Roan nodded after hearing that.

‘It’s okay. That’s your way of assuring the continuation of the protection given by the Dalamu Sect. I would have done the same. Anyway, the problem would be if you wanted to keep him here forever. With his talent, he would definitely feel confined in a place like this and leave by himself eventually. But if you take the initiative to let him go after he grows fond of the Tribe, that will give you the best result.’

Juri and Alanda were happy to hear that. It was good that Rean and Roan agreed with that plan.

Even though the conversation through Spiritual Sense didn’t last long, the others in the room noticed it happening. In the end, the twins’ father couldn’t help but ask.

“What are you talking about? If it is some kind of sensitive topic, your mother and I can leave first.”

Juri laughed after hearing that.

“Sorry, sorry. It’s just that I had to ask a few things about the Dalamu Sect, so it wouldn’t be good to talk about it in the open. Anyway, the twins already told me everything I wanted to know, so we are finished now. Besides, I invited you all for a banquet. How could I allow you to leave before we do it?”

Rean smiled as Roan simply nodded. They passed the rest of the day in the Tribe. During night time, the twins decided to stay in their parents’ house, talking about their adventures outside. It went without saying that they kept the parts that shouldn’t be talked about hidden, of course.

Later on, Rean used some of his time to play with his new sister. Well, he grew quite fond of her very fast. He even talked with Juri to reserve Spirit Stones for her in the future once she started to cultivate. 

The Twins’ presence in the Tribe for 10 years had indeed changed the balance of Yin and Yang there. Even though they left for over two years, the effects had barely changed. As mentioned before, that affected the fortune of the Tribe as a whole to the point where even more talents would be born there.

However, that didn’t mean that everyone would be born with high aptitude colors. In fact, the majority would still be a Gray Colored Talent. There was nothing that even the Soul Gem System could do about it.

That being said, Rana was also one of them. She only had the most common and disregarded gray color talent when she was tested after being born for a month. Still, Rean didn’t care. In his eyes, being normal was nothing to be sad about. After all, he still remembered how emotionless his life was on Earth due to his Soul Problem. Rean considered normal to be a great thing.

Besides, he didn’t intend to leave her to cultivate on her own. While he and Roan were still on this planet, and even after he leaves, he will do his best to support her and his parents.

As Rean played with the little bum, Roan entered the room as well. 

Seeing the ice block’s cold face, Rean couldn’t help but ask.

“What? Did you come here to say to not get too attached or some bullshit like that? If so, then you can leave already. I don’t mind getting attached at all.”

Roan surprisingly shook his head as he touched Rana’s forehead.

“Although I’m not as excited as you, I can still feel the connection by bloodline between her and me. I couldn’t care less about you and would have cut your head several times already if it didn’t mean I would die too. However, she has nothing to do with the fact that I’m here, so I will give her my support as well. I already have one Malaka to take care of. This one shouldn’t be as hard.”

Rean looked at Roan as if he was looking at an alien. Suddenly, he went to the window in the room and began to look for something with a severe expression. Obviously, Roan noticed that.

“What are you looking for?”

Rean shook his head.

“Nothing much. I just thought that the world would explode just now, so I looked outside to see if I could find an escape route. Seems like the world is still working fine, though. How weird…”

[That was really scary indeed. I even looked to see if some cracks didn’t appear in my Orb. Fortunately, it seems to be fine.]

Even Sister Orb couldn’t stay silent after that.

Roan’s mouth twitched in response.

“Go fuck yourselves!”

Harmalia then entered the room with a smile.

“Tribe Leader Juri told me that at your cultivation level, you don’t even need to sleep anymore. However, your little sister is different. So leave her alone for some time, will you?”

Turen entered right behind as he agreed with Harmalia.

“Your mother is right. Oh! Now that I think about it, I don’t think you ever cried when you were kids, no? Rana cries a lot, just like any other normal kid. I wonder what was so different about you two.”

Rean simply laughed while Roan pretended to not hear. They had never told them that they were reincarnations. The only ones who know about it are Juri and Alanda.

After that, they left the room with Turen while Harmalia stayed to help Rana sleep. 

In the living room, Roan took some papers and began to write several things on them. He had spent a lot of time in the Sect’s Repository and got to read many cultivation techniques. Not to mention that Inner Sect Members had access to even better ones. He decided to use this chance to pass Harmalia and Turen two cultivation techniques that would usually only be available for Dalamu Inner Sect Disciples. As for permission, he would ask about that after he went back to the Sect. 

“Father. Here are two techniques. The first one is suitable for your Earth Element Affinity. The other one is a Wind Element Cultivation Technique for mother. However, these techniques are supposed to only be available for Inner Sect Dalamu Disciples. That being said, do not spread it out, or you will invite a lot of problems to you two.”

Turen shook his head in response.

“There is no need. If passing this technique to us will invite problems for you and your brother, then your mother and I have no need for it.”

Rean smiled as he helped Roan in this rare moment of mutual agreement.

“Don’t worry, dad. If it is just you and mom, Roan and I can get permission without receiving any punishment.”

Turen narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two. It was indeed quite rare to see them acting together like that.

“Sigh… Fine. However, you better not be deceiving me about it.”

Roan nodded.

“We aren’t.”

Rean and Roan then spent the rest of the night in their house before finally leaving in the morning.

As for Kentucky… Well, that pervert chicken got pampered by the Tribe’s girls all day long. During the night, they even prepared a nest for it to sleep in. It was hard to say who was happier to have come to the Varen Tribe, the humans or the Minokawa.

Finally, they headed to Jiran Forest once more.
