“Aw aw...so cute! Come here, hug me, you lovely girl!” Erick’s mother received Willow warmly in their family after Erick was done introducing her.

Willow was enveloped by Erick’s mother’s warm embrace.

.....

Erick just made her little cousin of Aashi, who came here to live with her because back home there is nobody who can take care of her.

Erick’s mother didn’t let go of her once she got to know that Willow had no one who she can call a family except Aashi. Her motherly instinct woke up and she showered Willow with a lot of love.

“Well, alright then she will live with us from today on!” Erick said towards her mother who smiled in return showing that she liked that.

“Hehehe! Aunty’s hug feels warm!” Willow laughed with a happy expression while muttering and rubbing her face on Erick’s mother’s belly.

Erick smiled seeing both of them enjoying each other’s company. He lets them be and after saying his goodbye while also informing her that he would be away for a week so as not to worry about him and if need something ask Aashi about it.

......

Blur’ Island,

“Swiiish!”

Erick directly teleported here after leaving his house.

He looked around the island which has become much larger compared to the last time he visited.

Then he passed by the garden which has also extended from a little garden to a 300 metres large garden.

Several kinds of ripe fruits hang in the trees, and all kinds of precious herbs are growing in the garden.

Admiring the work Aashi has done for this island, Erick felt grateful for her and suddenly a thought came to his mind that he still hasn’t given her the proposal ring.

He also thought that he didn’t have any good for now so he should find a suitable material first before he thinks about making a pairing ring.

“Hmmn!”

Just as he neared the wooden structure of a two-story ancient-looking pavilion, he smelled the essence of herbs.

“Ohh! Master, you just came in time. I am almost done with this formula and also prepared a dozen dosages!” Aashi said toward Erick without turning around, hearing his footsteps and sensing his presence.

She was controlling a large cauldron burning fire below it while it hovered in the air in front of her.

“Swiish...swiish...swoosh!”

Dozens of vacuum flasks made of hard glass flew out from her spatial ring and hovered in the air beside the cauldron in an orderly manner.

“Bannng!”

With a bang sound, the mixture flew out of the cauldron then suddenly the liquid divided into equal drops to the number of flasks in the air and like the drops had minds of their own, they flew directly into the open flasks then Aashi sealed them up.

“Boooomn!”

Aashi put down the cauldron which might have weighed hundreds of kgs to the ground, shaking the wooden floor a little.

Those sealed flasks were also kept in the spatial ring but this time it was a different one that she offered to Erick after she was done putting them in.

“So did you also put the other things inside?” Erick asked while taking the spatial ring and putting it on the middle finger of his left hand.

“Hmmn! All of the things you mentioned are in your spatial ring, Master!” Aashi replied with a smile.

“Ahh! Did I mention the energy reactors!” Erick suddenly asked, feeling that he forgot to mention it last time.

“Nope, you never did but I, as a competent assistant, put some power tools to work for you and made two large energy reactors that will last for a few decades before running out.” Aashi still has a smile hung on her face while praising herself. She had an inkling that her master might need this thing so she already made them in advance and kept them in the warehouse, now her feeling came true. She also sighed in relief inside of her that she made them before, otherwise, she would have wasted her master’s time.

“Thank you, Aashi! You are a great assistant.” Erick thanked her and praised her which made her smile blossom even more.

He also gave her a tight and warm hug, full of love, and a sloppy kiss before parting from her.

“See you later, Aashi, and do take care of our father and mother!” Erick bid his farewell, not before requesting her to take care of their parents as she is now technically his wife.

“Hmmn! I will, and come back fast, Master!” Aashi also reluctantly bade her fare well and asked him to come back fast so she can cuddle more with him as she clearly didn’t have enough last time.

“Zaaaap!”

Erick initiated travel by himself and vanished from there leaving a sad beautiful woman with a longing in her eyes.

“Yosh! Let’s do some more work and expand my master business all over the country before Master comes back!” Aashi put away her sad expression and hyped herself with a new goal, to make StarDust Capital become a conglomerate.

......

In Plum Blossom World,

“Zaaap!”

“What the fuc* happened here, did they get raided by the high-level malice organisms or what?” Erick returned to the same point from which he disappeared last time then he ran directly towards the city.

When he reached the entrance, he found that the city was on fire and buildings were in rubble while a lot of dead bodies were missing half of their body parts.

“I just hope that those guys are safe and sound!” Erick ran at a fast pace in worry and prayed for the safety of Leader Shun and others.

He expanded his senses and covered the whole city slowly while moving inside the city like a flash of lightning and checking the places where he thought that they might be there but he came out empty-handed every time.

“Where are they, just what exactly happened here!” Erick shouted in worry looking at the death and destruction over the whole city.

Not even one life was found inside the city, even after he checked two or three times.

Only after calming down did he spot a few special signals that he had taught to the Leader Shun group, in case of an emergency that needed to leave behind the clue for others to find them.

“Haaaaa! Thank goddess, they seemed to be fine and had escaped towards the nearby city!” Erick sighed in relief after confirming that leader Shun and the group are fine.

“But what exactly happened here? What or more like who exactly caused this destruction!” Now that he knew Leader Shun and others were fine, he paid attention to the cause of the city and started to think about the reason for its destruction.

“Let’s just investigate and I am sure, I can find a clue or two!” Erick muttered and went to the starting place from where the destruction seemed to have started.
