[Well, I think this is the first ti any of us had ever slept inside of a host while possessing them,] Razorstella pointed out to Screamira, Blazejudicator and Nepherage. [So... how’d y’all manage to adapt? I was not expecting being able to participate in the dreams though.]
[It was... honestly kind of nice,] Screamira admitted. [Shark boy ended dreaming about the beach and his wife to be. They were very cute towards one another.]
[Well, that’s adorable,] Razorstella agreed. [My guy just started dreaming about donuts.]
[What about you two, Blazejudicator, Nepherage. Anything interesting in the land of dreams?]
[I would share it, but it appears our lord is about to have a confrontation with that Kaijin blooded woman.]
[Oooh! Let’s watch.]

When Zhen Liu lost contact with one of his phantom zakos, he imdiately sent a few more in the sa direction to figure out what had gone wrong. As he would find out later that sa evening, it turned out to be a lot.
Not only had this strange eel woman manage to capture one of his intangible zakos, but she sohow had managed to extract information out of it. It wasn’t via sothing as silly as torture or through the use of Anima Power. Instead, she did sothing Zhen Liu never even attempted to do before.
She coated her hand in [Chaos] and started extracting the mories directly from the zako.
This would normally be a very bad thing to happen to Zhen Liu, but he managed to use his remote connection with the other zakos to forcibly change the captive zako back to a marble. Granted, he didn’t know he could do this until this mont happened.
Up until that point, he figured his abilities were a one way activation road. Regardless of this discovery though, he still needed to confront the woman who almost exposed him...and not give away that it had almost happened.
Zhen Liu asked with a cool tone of voice, as if his secrets was being exposed without his knowledge.
Terra answered without missing a beat.
At this invitation, Zhen Feng actually got up from his seat and was about to leave.
"Oooh! That sounds-!"
"Ah bababa, you sit here with for the ti being" Zhen Hai said as he grabbed Zhen Feng’s arm and pulled him back to his seat. Zhen Hai had a feeling that sothing interesting was going to happen, and he didn’t want to be an awkward third wheel.
’Oh yeah, sure. Ask sothing like that after almost extracting the mories from one of zakos,’ Zhen Liu thought to himself while maintaining a polite yet friendly deanor.
"Seriously?," Zhen Hai and Zhen Feng simultaneously asked in an incredulous tone of voice.
To Zhen Hai and Zhen Feng ears, this question sounded a bit like flirting, while the answer sounded a bit like humble bragging. While this was very likely to be a bias opinion based on the fact Zhen Liu had chard multiple different won the last few tis they went out, it probably didn’t help that Terra had this sweet smile on her face when she asked. That and because, as they were speaking, they still had two of Zhen Liu’s puppets shoved into their souls.
...
[Did...did the director say that because he’s trying to throw this girl off of our scent or because he actually thinks we’re not that impressive.]
[The forr.]
[Ah, of course.]
[You...you do realize that he would never actually bad mouth us, right?]
[I do...it’s just nice to re-confirm it.]
...
In Zhen Liu’s eyes though, this just reminded him that eels were sorta of like snakes. Granted, sea snakes were already a thing, so the analogy was a bit redundant.
Terra continued to flatter.
Normally, this would’ve been the perfect way for Zhen Liu to exit from the situation and prevent a possible breach in his secrecy. Unfortunately, he was around family when the situation presented itself.
"Ooooh, do it, do it!"
"Co on, Xiao Liu! Now’s a good ti to show off!"
’...these motherfuckers...’
Zhen Liu agreed.
...
Isekai Rule#112-Conditional
Just like your previous life, family will either be your greatest ally or your worst enemy.
Familicide is always a last resort.
Usually.
...
One short walk to a questionable looking training ground later...
’Huh...need to get an area like this installed back ho...’
Like any good castle, the [Storm Castle] had a massive training courtyard where knights, soldiers and other castle denizens could use to polish up their martial skills. However, that was where the similarities end.
A majority of the training areas in Valresta usually have a little sothing extra to help increase the aether concentration in them, in order to better facilitate their cultivation progress.
These extras ranged from complex arrays to materials that are known to boost cultivation progress in specific areas.
The training courtyard in [Storm Castle] however was...different.
Terra explained.
’Oh...right.’
Evidently, when Zhen Liu and the kaijin forcibly possess his cousins, he kept having them ss around their mories in regard to [Chaos]. But now, he had no choice to let them in the know...partially at least.
Granted, Terra was taking care of that bit of information for him...and showing off a bit by displaying what appeared to be visible [Chaos] surrounding her hand.
At this exact mont, Zhen Hai and Zhen Feng stared in Zhen Liu’s direction, while the latter did his damnedest to look away and pretend he wasn’t noticing them. If looks could burn holes, he’d have four of them in his head by now.
Terra observed while gesturing to the aforntioned cousin, Zhen Liu.
Terra continued.
Having said this piece, Terra made her way over to one of the sparring area of the courtyard and took on a fighting stance.
Zhen Liu asked.
The branch clan scions were technically raised on completely different traditions, so they had no idea whether or not Terra was telling the truth in regards to this statent. That stated, Zhen Liu wasn’t one to turn down a challenge...usually.
...
’Alright...who wants to go?’
