Prime Originator

Chapter 49 - Tonight, I Want To Stay With You



Back in the Divine Realm, everyone knew that karmic laws existed along with destiny and fate laws, but no one was ever able to comprehend them. They became the Enigmatic Tripartite Laws.

Enigmatic Tripartite Laws had no form and was illusionary. It was intangible. It could not be seen but could be felt. This was most obvious when it came to the Laws of Karma.

When one mention Karmic Laws, they would associate with karmic virtues and karmic sins. Like their names implies; karmic sins are accumulated by willfully committing evil, while karmic virtues are accumulated by doing good. People with karmic virtues are blessed with good luck, while people with karmic sins are plague with bad luck.

A short cut to gaining karmic virtues was to slay evil beings stained with karmic sins and vice versa for gaining karmic sins.

Leon's cultivation level was too low to feel the karmic laws and had no idea whether the karmic laws governed this world or not, but there were no disadvantages to killing Alroy and only advantages.

Firstly, he did not like Alroy, who's hands were stained with innocent blood. Secondly, He had invaded his territory and killed his people. Their presence also threatens the safety of his parents and thirdly, if he could accumulate karmic virtues, he would be blessed with good luck.

Although he does not believe in luck and only believe that his fate and destiny are decided by his own hands, there was no harm accumulating some karmic virtues even if he could not feel it.

Being thrown into such a chaotic world, life was insignificant and fragile like a flickering candle flame that could be easily snuffed out at any time. Leon would need all karmic virtues he could get his hands on, if he wanted to improve his chances of surviving in such a world.

The moment his memories were awakened, and many truths were uncovered, he was already burdened with many responsibilities. The fate of humanity had nothing to do with him, but since he understands the bleak future they have, he would not turn a blind eye to it.

Ancient doctors had 3 levels of treatment; one, they treat the illness. Two, they treat the body. Three, they treat the country. In this case, treating the country refers to solving the problem humanity face as a whole.

Although it sounds far-fetched and unreasonable that doctors could treat a country, the existence of cultivation makes just about anything possible as long as the necessary threshold of strength was achieved. People always try to make sense of the world with logical reasoning, but nothing ever made sense in the world of cultivation. The only thing that did make sense is that nothing made sense.

Of course, Leon understood that he was still too weak to take on such a heavy responsibility and only needed to focus on increasing his own strength. However, as long as the matter is not too big and within his reach, he can still save who needed to be saved and kill who needed to be killed.

He laments at how ignorant and easy the upper-class people live their life. They care neither for the commoners below them nor the threats that loomed outside and in the darkness. Ignorance was a sort of bliss he guessed.

Leon head back upstairs to the ground floor. Care not for what others do if it does not affect him and those close to him. He shook his head. His thoughts wonder off too much.

"Manager Doug, has the awakening pills been handed out yet?" Leon asked.

"Yes, Boss. I dare not delay any tasks you assign to me. Is there something you need, Boss?" Manager Doug asked nervously. He had not reason to be, but the boss's intentions are hard to guess.

"That's fine. I'll will be staying the night here. Arrange a room for me." Leon intended to ask manager Doug to hand the pills to Beckett and the others, since the pills have already been given to the other core members, it didn't matter. He can just refine another batch of awakening pills. Beckett and the others had to be rewarded for their loyalty.

"Yes, Boss. Did you wish to continue using the room on the second floor or should use the presidential suite on the top floor?"

"Presidential suite huh?" He did not need such a big room to himself. "The same room on the second floor will do."

"The room had been reserved for you this entire time, Boss. You can head over and use the room any time. The door should not be locked. Even if it is, I'm sure someone would open the door for you." A knowing smile appeared on Doug's face. His voice was a bit vague.

Although Leon was puzzled, he wasn't bothered to ask. He was rather tired after running left and right the entire day and night, literally. He wasn't joking. During the day, he lapped the field on campus and at night, he lapped the Western District. But at the end of the day, it was quite eventful. He had some pleasant gains from the trouble that came knocking. Like the old saying went; fortune and disaster came in pairs. The scale was just smaller.

Arriving at the same room he was using on the second floor earlier in the night, he reached his hands out for the doorknob and turned it. The door was not locked and was opened easily. Inside, Aria was seen sitting quietly on the bed with her eyes closed. She was still trying to digest all the information Leon had transmitted to her. She wasn't sure which technique to practice first.

The sound caused by the door opening made her frown as she opened her eyes. Seeing who was at the door, Aria's frown instantly changed into a happy smile. "You're back."

"You haven't gone home yet?" Leon was stupefied and asked a silly question. She was right in front of him. Of course, she hasn't gone home yet.

"Mmm. Tonight…I wanted to stay with you." Aria mustered up her courage and said. She did not think his question was silly at all.

Cough*

"You…want to stay the night with me?" Leon thought he heard wrongly. Things seems to progress a little too quickly, no?

Aria lowered her head and blushed profusely. She didn't have the courage to say it a second time.

Leon was instantly put on the spot and suffered a dilemma on what he should do and say. An ancient doctor was supposed to be able to treat the body and the mind. However, Leon had lived a short 30 years in the Divine Realm and did not master treatment on the mind. There was still a lot he had to learn. The path of medicine was profound and never ending. One would never stop learning.

The mastery in treating the mind required the doctor to have a complete grasp on human psychology; to be able to understand people's thoughts and behavior.

His grasp on men's thoughts and behavior was not too bad as he was a man himself, but when it comes to women, he was in the blank.

He couldn't leave Aria hanging forever and had to say something quickly. He felt his heart pounding. Fortunately, they shared an interesting connection between them and he vaguely understood that she had special feelings for him.

"I… can't?" Aria looked up and stared at him with teary eyes that threaten to overflow. She wasn't going to let him go after finding him again, but if he rejects her then she doesn't know if her heart can take it. Leon felt his heart melt. Aria was too beautiful and her voice was angelic.

He would be a hypocrite if he said he didn't feel anything. He was tender towards the fairer sex and it wouldn't be the gentlemanly way to reject a beauty, when they offer themselves to him.

"Okay, let me take a shower first. I reek of blood." Leon answered with a gentle smile.

"Okay." Aria nodded in relief. Heart thumping from anticipation and nervousness as to what would happen next. She did not mind the blood on Leon. She knew it was the blood from bad people.

Leon didn't take long and came out of the bathroom in a new set of fresh clothes he had stored in his world space. Aria didn't know where the clothes came from, but she didn't ask. She let it remain part of Leon's mysteriousness.

Leon entered the bed and laid down with Aria in his arms.

"Let's sleep." Leon said. He wasn't planning to do anything else. There was a gradual process for everything.

"Mmm." Aria felt a mixture of disappointment and relief, but also happy. Leon not doing anything to her means that he respects her. She felt warm in heart as her consciousness easily slipped into the land of dreams.

That being said. The next morning Leon's eyes were red, and his throat was dry and hoarse. He did not get a single wink of sleep! There was a beauty in his arms, but he chose not to eat her up. He was a man and naturally had a reaction when holding a peerless beauty in his arms.

There was no need to pretend to be chaste or anything. He had slept with countless women in his past life. But then again, this was his second life and he had yet to sleep with any woman. So, in the end was he a virgin or not? Ai… the dilemma of two lifetimes.

He had no good answer and no idea what the right choice was to do! This would be the start of his first serious relationship. When he accepted her feelings, he was in it for the long run. He did not want to fuck it up for some momentary pleasure that could end on a bad note and lead to a lifetime of regret.

In the end, a torturous long night of restlessness made him felt ever closer to Buddha. Was he becoming a monk?
