Reincarnated into a Snow Griffin Chapter 51

To my surprise, no matter how tired I was, I sohow end up waking up in the middle of the night, probably too alert in a strange place to fall into a deep sleep. With a foggy mind and a body embraced by the warmth of the sheets I see no reason as to why move out and not try to go back to sleep, figuring it must have been that I’m just not used to this environnt, and perhaps my body had been on alert even while asleep, but as soon as I close my eyes again I hear just what had woken up, a solid knock on the door, soon followed by a familiar voice.

"Young mister, may I have a word with you?" I grunt in my half awaken state as I recognize the cultivator’s voice, and as tempted as I am to simply ignore him, part of is curious enough to make sigh and sit up.

"A mont please."

"Of course, sorry to disturb."

I shake my head sideways, trying to chase the drowsiness away, and with a deep breath and so slaps on my face I’m soon awake and aware enough to discover that the little devil that slipped off sowhere in the middle of the night and was nowhere to be found, gone for who knows how long since daylight already shone through the cracks on the window.

Is no surprise that is already dayti since we went to bed very late, but still I’m not happy to be awakened like this, even if the other had been polite thus far, but I at least rember to cover my wings before going to answer the door.

"Thank you for having young mister, I-" He starts talking the mont I open the door to him without even looking, but once he does he chokes on his words and stare at for a long ti, making fear for a mont that I forgot to cover my wings or that they were peeking on the sides even if I was sure that I had them covered well, but the next mont that I use my Appraisal to have a look at his status I understand what happened.

Na: Jiang Min

Gender: Male

Race: High Human

Age: 45

Status: srized.

Forty-five years old? He looks to be in his twenties at best, even younger with such baby smooth pale face like that, and is the first I see to have a High Human race, perhaps it has sothing to do with being a cultivator? Is hard to say, and although my Appraisal is still not good enough to show all his information, I let least get enough to understand a few things, especially his status.

Because that reminds ... of a very useless ability of mine.

Captivating Gaze 55

Wait, didn’t it just level up? When? Twenty levels at that, but I haven’t even been using it now, barely seen anyone, leaving the cave only now, how odd... but this is definitely one of the side effects of such passive always working ability of mine, so with an annoyed gaze at the other I close the door back up, and just go back to open it once I have my veil back in place, waiting for the effects to wear out while my sour mood goes down even further when I see a new skill that has popped up beside my gaze.

srizing Lips 10

...Please stop.

"...What is it?" In the end I have to speak up to break him away from the spell, and as he blinks a few tis he finally cos back to it and seems ashad to be staring at for so long.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, mind if I ca in?"

"I do." Who would in their sane mind invite a stranger into their room, even more after such... reaction to my face.

"Oh, then perhaps downstairs? If we are quick we may still grab so breakfast." It does sound better, in an open place with more people passing by, and even if I was not hungry after eating too much yesterday I still had to put sothing in my belly to help recover faster so in the end I follow the cultivator down the stairs, still feeling that their aura is a little bit... too blinding, so thick that I could almost make out the magic that surrounded him like a curving twisting mist.

They do not seem to be as simple people as I thought at first... and not evil intended either at first, but if I could grasp the way to have such thick magic surrounding too, then I can lend an ear for now.

"Where are the others?" I ask once we sit down and there is no sight of his companions, tea being poured as the cultivator sits on the other side of the table, pulling his long sleeve to the side with his other hand while reaching for the tea, and habitual yet elegant behavior that makes pay more attention to his mannerism so I could use it later own too.

And yet every move seems staged, well thought, and not at all natural, which only makes wonder just how many masks is he wearing.

I narrow my eyes at that.

No matter his intentions, on how he plans to use , I might as well use him back and gather as much information as possible.

After all I’ve been through I will always have my guard up from now on, and the little devil’s words from yesterday do not help my tense self to relax at all the presence of this cultivator.

"Who are you?"

"Pardon , my na is Master Jiang Min, I’m a cultivator from the Enlightened Sun Bearers Cultivator Realm, one of the peak mountains guarding the path to immortality."

Seems like his kind enjoys using fancy words all around as if it should an sothing.

"...Immortality path?" He takes a sip from the round cup before smiling kindly and answering, almost as if expecting the question:

"We cultivators are mortals who work hard and study to transcend our mortal bodies to achieve immortality through many cultivation thods."

"Wait, is that possible?" Immortals? Humans? How so? For all I’ve co to know so far they are one of the races that live the less, but now they can live forever? That strikes as odd to say the least.

"Ah, yes, but is very hard you see, many try but only a few truly ascend. Is not only a matter of being the strongest you see... but well, is a complicated matter, as if the answer was that easy I’m sure many more would have ascended by now."

"Uhm..." I say. So they are basically chasing sothing practically impossible? Well, I would call it sounded silly if I did not feel to be in the sa shoes as well. It is only a matter of focusing on your objectives... and what are you willing to sacrifice for them.

So I look at this strange person in front of , trying to look simply curios when I say:

"That’s amazing, how does all of that works? Can you tell more?"

And that hits the jackpot when a bright smile curves his lips and he says:

"For such a good behaving child like yourself, of course I can!"
