Chapter 139 No Bigger Trauma Than This...

When Chiron's strength had recovered, he picked both girls and left the place.

A few minutes after he was long gone.

At the point of the battlefield. A low rumble occurred and then the snow was forced open. Within it was revealed two men. One of them was without an arm, and the second one although his body was fully intact, he was pale all over, and Frost bite had done a number on him.

"Shit!" Kevin grunted lowly, "that brat fucked us up!"

"Yeah! he really did." Danfo responded, "I had to sacrifice two magic treasures of the bronze grade to secure our lives."

As he talked, two rings on his hand cracked and then turned to dust.

"Who could have thought that an evil spirit actually protected him?" Danfo added.

"Hmmm!" Kevin coughed out some blood, "It seems that they have already made contact with this one. We will have to report this to the Captain. I suspect the Magistrate will not let this slide!"

"Yeah! we better do that. But for now," he yawned, "I'm tired!"

Both men lay on their backs.

However, Chiron did not know this. He was not aware that there were any survivors after the chaos of that Avalanche. What's more, he was not aware that the evil spirit that came to help him had just done more harm than good.

As far as this two were concerned, Chiron was only at the peak of the wood rank, but with an evil spirit by his side, he had now been assumed to be a cultivator of the bronze rank.

His later days because of this so called help, was not going to be easy at all.

.....

Carla opened her eyes. All around her were trees. In front of her was a bowl with some fruits in it.

She immediately stood to her feet. The first thing she did was check her body. She sighed in satisfaction at the results.

Not so far away from her was Zi. She was still passed out.

Immediately, she rushed to wake her up.

"yes, I'm up mama. I'm up!" Zi was still drowsy and talking while half awake.

"Zi, wake up!"

Some Semblance of clarity came to her eyes, and her mind registered where they were.

Just then, they heard a rumble from the bushes not so far away.

Both women brought out their swords with the intention of engaging in a fight.

The rustle of the bushes continued, and then a figure came out of it.

On his shoulder was a dead wild yellow cored antelope.

Both girls sighed in relief. The sight of him was beyond comfortable to their nerves.

"Finally, you guys are up! Have you guys eaten the fruits already, I brought some meat."

As the three of them ate, Chiron told them of a Cock and bull story of how they had fainted to the sneak attack of a cored beast, and how once more, he had saved them.

With the amount near miracles surrounding Chiron, and how he had saved them from Ponzi before, it was easy for them to instantly believe his version of the truth.

After the meal was done, Night had fallen, and Zi fell asleep on Chiron's shoulder. Meanwhile, Carla stayed at a separate corner. In her hands was the Snow white Tulip flower.

She stared and admired it greatly.

"Don't worry Carla, your mother will get well soon enough."

She immediately turned in the direction of the voice.

Chiron gently dropped Zi and came to sit beside her.

"But what if it doesn't work and I lose her? The world will laugh at me!" She asked in doubt.

"Look at me!" Chiron took her hands in his own. she looked at him. It was dark, but the two moons in the sky made it fair enough for them to see one another.

"Even if it does not work, and even if the world laughs at you, I will always be here by your side. Do you understand?"

Those words had taken her by surprise, but there were deep. she nodded slowly.

"Good!" Chiron thought to himself.

Her emotions were immense, and she leaned in and kissed him softly on the cheek, before removing her face in embarrassment.

He leaned in and hugged her. A malevolent smile on his face.

The fruit was fully ripe. He really could not wait to pluck it.

Behind the two hugging under the moonlight, was Zi. She had just witnessed the interaction between the two, and a kind of jealousy bloomed within her.

.....

Another day later, they had made it to the clan gates.

This time around, Chiron could clearly feel it from the gates. This was the spirit energy of his pet dragon.

But that was not all. He could also feel the power of the blood Dragon.

Apparently, within the walls were some of the Blood Dragon's bones.

It was getting dark already but they first went to the Bureau for cultivators and reported the completion of the mission and the deaths of their teammates first before parting ways.

Zi was the first person to return.

"Wait!" Carla called out.

"Yes!" Chiron turned to her.

"I know my mother would be very grateful for this," she lifted the flower to her face, "and she has been bugging me to bring you over to the house. Do you mind coming with me to give it her!?"

Chiron smiled, "Of course not!"

As both of them walked, "Chiron removed a piece of paper and dropped it in his shadow.

The paper dissolved into it, as Hunter hurried out to deliver the message.

Carla's mother welcomed both of them into the house. Her daughter had been out for days.

It was a small welcoming party with Carla's mother entering the kitchen and cooking something nice.

While Carla's younger siblings who were twins admired Chiron's sword.

After the meal, the twins went to bed.

It had become late in the night and all remaining awake, was Chiron, Carla and Carla's mother at the dinner table.

The atmosphere was merry.

At least it was until Chiron suddenly felt drowsy.

He tried to stand up but felt very weak.

Instantly, he looked at the plate of food and the drink. he understood what had happened. He had been poisoned.

He fell to the ground.

Carla immediately rushed to check on him, but she too felt drowsy and fell to the ground.

And then two people entered the room. It was Leongu, and Fanum who was her father.

Leongu laughed merrily as he approached Chiron's sword.

This was what he had been waiting for. All this time, he had been thinking of a way to acquire this sword, and now, it was in his hands.

Even though it was too heavy for him to lift, he still admired it greatly.

"Good! good!! You did a good job my darling." Leongu approached Carla's mother and in his excitement, gave her a deep kiss on the lips.

By now, Chiron's eyes were closed as he laid on the ground.

Meanwhile, Carla fought the poison as much as she could with her spirit energy. But even now, she could feel as the poison ate away at her spiritual energy.

"Mother! what is happening? what is going on?" She asked in confusion.

Her mother fuddled her hands and bowed her head in shame, "I'm sorry Carla. But its the only way. Master Leongu has been really good to us. He is the reason why we have food on our table. There was nothing I could do. He wants Chiron's sword. But it is bonded by blood. If Chiron dies, the sword will have no master and can form a new bond."

She raised her head to her daughter and looked her in the eyes, "I poisoned the food. But don't worry. Master Leongu has promised to give you the antidote. We just don't want you in the way. Chiron is a Tamashi, no one will care if he is dead."

Carla could not believe what she had just heard from her mother. She could see that Chiron had stopped moving. She turned to her father, but he had an indifferent look on his face. As if all that was happening was not his business.

"No! No!! No!!!" she muttered in denial.

Leongu laughed some more. He took a knee close to Carla. "I think it's time you know some hidden family secrets." he coughed as he suddenly felt hot. His eyes trailed Carla's body. He licked his lips, and his desire became hotter. He even started to open up her clothes.

"Father!" Carla called to her father, but her father stood there. He still had an indifferent look on his face.

Carla tried to push him away, but her energy was being drained by the poison.

Leongu ripped her clothes opened and spread her legs apart.

"MASTER LEONGU!!!" Carla's mother screamed, "please, not my daughter. You promised you'll only use my body."

Leongu stopped and turned to Carla's mother.

She had stood up, and removed the sleeves of her dress.

It fell to the ground revealing her supple nakedness before him. Definitely, she had a more mature and attractive body than that of her daughter.

Leongu grunted. He did not know why, but he felt extra spicy today. All he had done was visit the Lost treasure before coming here.

Or maybe it was just the excitement of having the sword, but he really wanted nothing more than to have a woman.

He immediately bounced on Carla's mother.

He forcefully placed her head on the table, pulled down his clothes and took her from behind.

Carla watched as her mother was being used. She could not believe what she was seeing.

what was happening?

By her side was her first love dead on the ground.

Killed by her own mother, whom she had thought to be always virtuous and kind.

Before her parents, she was almost raped but neither of them did anything about it.

The only thing her mother did was to offer herself instead. But from the look on her father's face and that of her mother, this was a normal thing.

Carla grabbed her head and hug it in between her legs. Her fingers dug deep in her hair, and she pulled hard until her hair fell off. Her world had just crashed before her very eyes.

Her ever kind and saintly mother was not kind and saintly.

Instead, she was the murderer of her own love.

Secondly, she was an adulteress

At this moment, everything her mother ever taught her came crashing down.

Kindness and virtue were replaced with hatred and malice.

She was changing.
