On a small mountain, which had signs of having sunk into the ground, a man in a black robe with golden designs, stood pondering, this was Nathan, who had been held by an immortal.
—"I wonder, how can I deal with this crisis? For now, it hasn't killed me, since I'm of some use to it, but when I'm no longer that, I won't even be able to react when I'm finished."
—"Although I've been able to resist the exhaustion of everything that's happened to me, due to the adrenaline of being on the brink of death, I'm currently falling asleep, not to mention exhausting all my mental power trying to escape."
—"But the first thing is to try to figure out what it's looking for from me. With that information, I can draw up a plan for how to move forward."
While Nathan was deep in thought, calculating different possibilities for how to deal with the immortal cultivator, a white-haired woman appeared in front of him. She wore a veil to hide her face and a pink dress that clung to her exquisite body. This was Shen Liling.
She immediately removed the veil from her face, revealing her beautiful appearance. She then extended her hand toward Nathan, in which a small pink pill could be seen.
—"Damn! It must be some kind of enslavement pill. Apparently, this poisonous woman hasn't forgiven me for trying to escape from her, and for seeing her naked. This is bad. I think I've had enough. I'd rather she kill me than turn me into her dog."
Nathan looked at Shen Liling with firm eyes and shook his head, indicating that he would not take the pill, even if it cost him his life.
—Don't test my mortal patience.
Shen Liling immediately sealed Nathan again, forced his mouth open, and forced the pill down his throat. All of this happened in less than a second. When he finished swallowing the pill, he was released from the seal and immediately fell to the ground. He felt as if a blazing fire were burning inside his stomach. The fire spread throughout his body, causing great pain and reddening his skin. Steam began to rise from his body. Shen Liling grabbed him by the robe and took him to a nearby river, where she threw him into the icy water.
Stunned by the sudden event, Nathan almost drowned from the large amount of water he swallowed, desperately swimming towards the surface of the river, when he finally managed to come up for air, he coughed large amounts of water, now calmer he realized that the pain still persisted in his body, but to a lesser extent, since apparently the icy river reduced his strong body heat, all the cells in his body were rejuvenating and repairing any damage they had.
—"This damn bitch!! Just wait for me to recover, even if it seems impossible I will find a way to humiliate you and then kill you, the good thing is that it is not a slavery pill" - Nathan angrily looked at the indifferent Shen Liling who was floating in the sky
After several minutes of suffering in the water, the tired Nathan swam to the riverbank, crawled to safety as best he could, lying on his back on the ground while breathing deeply, trying to catch his breath.
—Descendant of the knights, can you hear me now? — said Shen Liling, as she descended from the sky and stood not far from the
—Loud and clear, bu…but allow me to thank you for your kindness in treating my injuries, Miss Immortal. My name is Nathan Wolf. How should I address you? -He got up from the ground as best he could and greeted her.
— You can call me Shen Liling, Descendant of the Nathan Wolf Knights, I need you to answer some questions for me.
— Of course, I won't hesitate to answer anything you need, Miss Shen. It's not like I'm being held against my will and threatened to satisfy the whims of a bored person. — Nathan replied sarcastically.
Shen Liling's beautiful eyes changed into those of a dragon, her pupils were as white as snow and yet as terrifying as death itself, she angrily glared at the brazen mortal, who refused to give in to her draconic aura, anyone, be it a cultivator, spirit beast, or anyone else would have knelt in fear, even those at her cultivation level would have been shaken.
— I see, the ancient scriptures were right, your race doesn't fear us, but rather confronted us in those times — Shen Liling returned to normal
— I don't know what you're talking about, Miss Shen, could you be more specific — Nathan didn't not feel fear, but his survival instinct was stronger
— It's nothing, there's no need to make enemies over small, misunderstood things, what I'd like to know is, where do you come from? And if there are more humans like you?
— If you're asking about my origin, I come from a planet called Earth, and yes, it's infested with humans like me.
— Planet Earth? I have no record of that in the Star Scrolls. You're not lying to me, are you?
— Of course not. What I told you is completely true. It's just that I accidentally went through some kind of strange portal and ended up in this strange reality.
— So that's how it happened, that would be the only coherent answer, since your ancestors disappeared from this physical plane eons of years ago, remaining only in ancient records, now they are nothing more than legends, most will mistake you for a barbarian, since they are unaware of the knights' legacy - Shen Liling was thoughtful
— Nathan, tell me where that portal you went through is?
— Of course, it was near the city, where those two cultivators fought, where you rescued me from that madman, who wore a red robe, search the surroundings I think it will be easy for you to find it
mmediately Shen Liling sent her spiritual sense to sweep the entire place, she checked inch by inch where Nathan indicated, but she couldn't find anything, no kind of anomaly or Qi fluctuation, but she didn't give up, she kept trying, since she didn't believe that he was deceiving her, since doing so would only lead to his death.
— Well, Miss Shen, if that's all, I say goodbye, thank you for everything, I'm very tired right now, so I'll go find a place to sleep, goodbye - Nathan tried to escape taking advantage of the moment.
Shen Liling reached out and pulled him towards her with a grappling technique. She retracted her divine sense, as it was a waste of time searching for that portal. After all, it was an anomaly unrecorded in the entire history of the universe. She knew something like this wouldn't happen again, so she turned her attention to Nathan, who was struggling to free himself from the grappling technique.
She walked seductively towards him, getting close enough that they both felt each other's breathing. Nathan felt Shen Liling's spongy chest pressing against him, while she hugged him affectionately and whispered in his ear.
— Why the rush? It's not like you know where to go, and you have to take responsibility for your actions. You just saw me completely naked, so you have two options: die by my hand or I'll become my man.
—"Although it is very tempting, it is too suspicious that she is interested in a mortal she just met, since cultivators tend to be very proud and fussy about the status of their partners, besides I have not done anything to conquer her, much less do I have the best physique, I think it has something to do with her mentions of being a descendant of the knights, but if I want to stay alive I must play along for now" – Nathan hugged her tightly by the waist and immediately kissed her on the lips.
It should be noted that Nathan guessed right about the reason why the proud Shen Liling would choose him as her partner, but he was unaware of the background behind it.
Since his offspring were a light of hope for the dragons, because according to the ancient records of Shen Liling's ancestors, eons ago there were two factions among humans, the Knights and the martial artists, each of them although humans, handled the Qi in a different way, being the so-called "mana" the source of power of the knights, because these two factions did not agree both politically and culturally, they were always in constant war, destroying entire constellations for their stupid war, so different races intervened in this conflict, some were on the side of the martial artists and others on the knights, the dragons that at that time were the dominant race, decided to mediate with both human factions.
The leaders of both factions, after a long mediation, reached an agreement, in order to avoid mutual destruction, but because there was still resentment from the long war, it was concluded that they could no longer live together, so the Great Mages of the Knights faction opened colossal portals to another plane, leading to a mass exodus of their faction without leaving even the half-breeds behind, the martial artists faction did not intervene since it would mean peace and prosperity for them.
The dragons also entered into conflict, since one part wanted to go with the knight faction to live in the other plane, while the other wanted to stay here where they had absolute dominion, heated discussions occurred on both sides, the dragons who wanted to stay argued that it was dangerous for them to follow the knight faction, since they were known for being famous dragon hunters, because they had a natural resistance against them, this would cause their extinction in the other plane, the counterpart argued that if they stayed sooner or later they would become extinct due to lack of birth, since dragons had very low reproductive capacity, while the knights could procreate quickly with the dragons, without affecting the lineage of the descendant, giving birth to a pure dragon or a human, while if they reproduced with the martial artists mixed races would come out, gradually diluting the blood of the dragons.
As expected, both sides went their separate ways, with Shen Liling's faction remaining. They considered it a disgrace for a dragon to have to reproduce with a human. Furthermore, they would be the absolute conquerors here, with no one able to resist. When everything was ready, both sides destroyed the portals, never to meet again.
It is said that a third faction, which included all humans from both sides, reached a tacit agreement, and so they escaped to a different plane, where they would live together, but that is only a rumor.
Eons have passed since then, and no one remembers what happened, except for the dragons, who have great status within their race, since they have access to records of all the important events that have occurred throughout time.
Which leads us to why Shen Liling, being an immortal respected and desired by thousands of powerful men, arbitrarily decided to take a mortal as her future partner, not to mention that thanks to the aesthetic pill that Nathan ingested, his entire body was restructured, giving him muscles similar to those of an elite athlete, even fixing the imperfections on his face, only he hasn't realized it yet, because he was busy trying to survive.
