Chapter 7 Who Are You!?

Eros decided to make a small experiment.

Everything gave out energy. Even the perverted art he had done not so long ago to lady frostbite.

And so using his divine shard as the medium to sense celestial energy, he filtered that power through his divine shard.

Slowly, he waited for it.

And then he felt it. A string of celestial energy in the air.

The moment he caught the feel of it, he immediately held on to that feeling, as he absorbed more of that energy into his body.

Celestial energy was one of the Primordial energies. The moment it entered into his body, he could feel it soothe his veins.

The energy went into his meridians, and all of a sudden, he could feel it healing him.

However, before concrete changes could be made, it stopped. The Divine shard glowed no more. It had run out of energy.

Eros frowned. What he needed now was more perverted acts, so that he could have more Celestial energy to firstly clear his meridians, and veins, and then start with building up his dantain for cultivation.

He breathed in and out. Even though the energy was thread-like, it still provided some strength to this worn-out body.

*Knock! *Knock*

There was suddenly a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" he asked.

"Grand Dad it's me. It's Dan!"

Eros opened the door, and the young lad entered the room.

Eros had his back to the door as he went to his seat. However, he suddenly felt a blade at his waist.

He turned slowly at his grandson, surprised at what he was doing.

"Who are you!?" Dan asked slowly.

That question seemed to have come out of nowhere, but Dan was really serious about it.

"Are you a devil, or are you, my granddad?" Dan's hand holding the knife shook a bit, but he still held it steady.

"Hmmm!" Eros turned to him slowly, "Which do you think?"

"I don't know," there was obvious confusion in his eyes, "just before your corpse was taken outside, I stayed by your side throughout the balming process and when they covered you with your favourite suit. I had asked to be alone with you one last time, and... and," he stammered, swallowed sharply, and looked at Eros in the eyes.

"I saw it. I saw it!!! A sharp white light as it entered your body. I don't know how but I..." looked at the knife and shook his head hard in confusion.

"I definitely saw it!" his eyes came sharper as he steeled his resolve, "are you my granddad?"

Eros looked at this boy in surprise. He could not believe what he had just heard.

This boy did not have any Soul cultivation, but he was able to see the process of reincarnation.

Seeing the process was one blessing in itself. But seeing it without any cultivation was another thing.

Jimmy his butler was the only person with a remotely decent enough cultivation in the house. He was at the sixth stage of the Soul disciple realm.

If Jimmy was the person that approached him, it would have been totally understandable. But it was Dan.

Dan was scrawny. And even though he was not related to Eros by blood, he had grey hair and bright blue eyes. If he was in a different world, his looks alone could have made girls wild for him.

But this world was different and unforgiving for the weak. It was discovered that Dan was incapable of cultivating Soul energy. At least that was what Eros remembered.

But the same person incapable of cultivating was the person to have witnessed reincarnation. Such a thing was completely unheard of.

Eros looked deep into the boy's eyes.

A theory for why the boy could not cultivate was formed in his head, but this was something he decided he would explore at a later time.

Right now, he had a knife against his body.

Regardless of no cultivation, Dan was a tough boy with an unbending will.

Eros suddenly smiled, and then the smile turned to a laugh, which took Dan by surprise.

"You might be right!"

"Huh!?" Dan was not expecting that. In his head, he had expected his granddad to tell him that he was just being crazy and all was fine. After all, as long as Dan could remember, he had always seen strange things.

"No! it's not a maybe boy." Eros took his seat. He lifted both hands up to the air in a grand style, "I am Eros the God of Love and Desire."

"Huh!?"

"-"

"-"

Now, Dan was sure that he was not the crazy one.

Did dying for two weeks actually ferment this old man's brain?

Eros was literally claiming to be a god. Even if Dan wanted to take him seriously, it was just too hard.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

"Come in!" Eros ordered. As the door opened, Dan immediately hid his knife.

It was Jimmy the butler, "Lord Eros the Red Bra pirates are here again. They are in the town, what should I do?"

"Oh! they are, huh!" Eros smiled, and turned to Dan, "this is a good opportunity. Come with me Dan let's go meet The Red Bra Pirates."

​ "WHAT!?" Both Jimmy and Dan were surprised by what they had just heard.

However, Eros had already stood up from his seat, and with his walking stick in hand, he headed for the door.

Dan and Jimmy only had their heads booting for a second before both of them followed after him.

As they went towards the carriage, Eros recalled the information he had about this pirate group of only women that came around once in a while to steal the resources of his people.

If he recalled properly, which he did. They were a very feared pirate group.

Considering the fact that they were purely women, it was impressive to see how strong their resolve was.

If this was the old Eros, he would have immediately gone into hiding when he heard the arrival of these female pirates, but all this new Eros could hear, was a delicacy waiting for his teeth to sink in...
