Chapter 5 - The Masked Man

After he reduced half of the Si family to slaves, Fan Sheng is enjoying the pleasure of being the Master once again in his house.

3 Nights have passed in pleasure and Harmony. Yaning served him every night making him feel relaxed and carefree once again.

He enjoyed the life of a carefree Young Master once again with a woman who loves him by his side.

He couldn't ask for more in that moment of pleasure. He just enjoyed the moment of pleasure which life gave him back after a brutal death.

He felt like a wild horse which let its reins loose and broke free into the world.

But the time is about to come to an end.

[Good Morning Host]

[Today is the last day to complete Task 1]

"What? 4 days have been completed so fast?"

Fan Sheng is still in bed with his beloved Yaning, her slender figure made him irresistible in the past 3 days and nights.

"Oh No, Today I have to form another bond or else…, No No.. I don't want to die again"

He picks up his clothes and goes into the streets to look for a person with Aura more than 7.

Yaning feels perplexed as he hurries outside half naked holding his clothes in a hurry.

He goes out in the streets but couldn't find anyone who had an aura even more than 5, most peoples aura ranged from 1 to 5 in all the people he saw and barely 6.

He stopped at every stall and even places a little crowd gathered but couldn't find anyone who would meet his criteria.

Soon he felt that someone was observing him from afar. He then enters the most crowded market and disappears in the crowd.

An undistinguished figure who is covered in mask tries to find him, he is wearing simple village clothes but his strong muscle built up is telling him he has a strong background.

"System, scan that person's Aura."

[Scanning….]

[Scanning Completed.]

[Aura: 155, Cultivation Level: 15]

[Abilities:

Sword Master Level 7

Healer level 2

Defender Level 6

"Oh God, it's so high. That's the reason I can feel his presence behind me"

[Yes, host has the ability to sense other people's Aura]

"But why is he following me?"

[System can't answer something host doesn't know]

"Then what is the use of having you?"

[....]

"What? Now you don't even reply to me?"

"Ok, I will take care of it myself"

"By observing his Aura and figure, he should be training a lot. That means he might belong to the army or he might be an assassin"

"Who the hell will try to kill me?"

"Oh No, I forgot about them"

"They might have sent someone to follow me"

"Do they want to kill me even before I could get my revenge?"

"I won't let them capture me this time"

He thinks to himself as he is trying to hide from the masked man.

Fan Sheng escapes from the place but the masked man notices him leaving and follows him.

It is almost impossible for him to free his shadow from him.Just then he enters a tavern in the village and enters a room. 

The masked man follows him into the room only to find 4 women trying to seduce him.

Fan Sheng is nowhere to be found and the masked man feels awkward in between those women.

Those women clung to him and started to caresses their hands over his body.

He doesn't utter a single word, instead he unleashes his hidden sword which makes the courtesians frighten in fear.

They didn't make a single sound in fear and as he goes out to check on Fan Sheng, he is now nowhere to be found.

"System, I think there is still a day left but why is he following us?"

"It is trying to kill me. Is this the death you mean?"

[Death is uncertain and can come in any way once the time is up]

"What? Does that mean he will kill me?"

"No.. No.. I can't let him find me"

He then goes straight to the mountains near the village to escape.

Fan Sheng leaves quietly and reaches the mountains beside the village while trying to escape the masked man.

He runs faster such that he even loses his way into the woods.He couldn't find a single person in the woods and feels exhausted.

He lies down under a tree to take some rest under the share of a tree in the scorching heat.

A woman passing by notices him and approaches him. She slowly tries to wake him up.

Fan sheng opens his eyes and finds a beautiful woman in front of him.

"Wow, she is so beautiful." he thought to himself.

"Are you thirsty?" She offered him some water.

"Yes.., Thankyou" he sips the water and feels refreshed after drinking it.

"What are you doing in the forest? Are you here hunting?"

Her expression clearly tells that she knows he is not here for hunting from his clothes.

"No, I am from the village down the mountain"

"I am just wandering here and lost the route. Can you help me with the way to the village?"

She believes him after thinking for some time.

"Okay, I can guide you"

They both walk together and Fan Sheng notices her thin waist and broad hips.

She could tell that he is looking at her and turns around to confront him.

"What happened, Miss?"

His innocent expression made her stop and continue to walk. She could tell that he is not innocent but couldn't help but fall for his charm.

"Miss, What is your name?"

"Is that any of your concern?" She tries to be firm against him.

"No Nothing, i just asked it casually"

"She is so cautious, maybe she is special" Fan Sheng thinks to himself.

"System, can you scan the person before us and let me know her stats"

[Yes Host, Scanning…]

[Scanning Complete]

[Aura level: 15, Ability: Healer Level -1]

"Great, we finally found a person with an Aura greater than 7"

"System, why don't you scan people from now on even if I don't say"

[Okay Host, Request Added]

"So, she is also a healer. Then she must be out searching herbs"

"What are you looking at?" the woman notices his stares peeking at her basket and asks him in an interrogative tone.

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask you something" He feels like she could see him through.

"What?"

"Are you searching for herbs in the forest?" 

"Yes, Why do you care?"

"I thought if you need my help.."

"And why would I need your help?" she starts to grow suspicious of his identity.

"I am a healer, so i thought if that could help"

"Really?" she looks at him in hesitation.

She gives a cold stare "Are you really a Healer?"

She wants to confirm his identity before sharing anything with him.

"Yes.. I am"

"What is your Healing Level?"

"System, Has our Healing level increased since we gained some Aura?"

[Yes Host, Current Host's Healing Level is Level 8]

"Great.."

"Yes Miss, I am a Level 8 healer"

"Really? Level 8?Then can you please check on my niece?"

"Yes, but what happened to her?"

"Let me show you" her face instantly filled with concern as she talks about her.

She takes him to her house where her niece is lying on the bed coughing in pain.

"She is such a cute child" He gently holds her right hand.

"What is her name?" he asks her.

"Her name is Jin Wu" She then continues.

"Her mother passed away during her birth and she has been a sickly child since birth"

"I have cared for her since then, i couldn't see her in pain anymore. I just wanted to find some herbs to cure her"

Fan Sheng checks on her and he can feel her.

"I think I can cure her" He presses his fingers against her veins gently and places his palm on her forehead.

A light yellow light emerged from him and it travelled into the child's body as if she was being healed. 

She is shocked to see that it looked so powerful and great as his Healing capabilities increased from the last time.

The child opened her eyes instantly. Her niece hugged her with a bright smile which brought tears to her face.

He could clearly say that she is truly happy and the smile of the child brought joy to him.
