《Re: Immortal》Chapter 29
Advertisement
It did not take long before it was Omis and Addi's turn to enter the city, as the line moved ahead Lee-Lee and her mother were the first to enter the city, not before the mother stopped and gave a respectful bow to Addi then turned towards Omis and smiled amicably.
Lee-Lee, on the other hand, kept staring at the duo with sparkling eyes, her eyes lingering over Omis for a little longer before she waved her little hand in goodbye.
Addi smiled back like a friendly old man with a slight nod, while Omis next to him grinned cheerfully as he waved back to the little girl.
"Aren't you getting a little too excited about this?" Asked Addi as he glanced back towards his partner.
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Replied Omis with a confused look, feigning ignorance.
Letting out a sigh Addi said with a voice full of sarcasm. "The oh so revered Immortal Mentor, God rank cultivator famous all across the mortal realm, acting like a little teenage boy."
Grinning Omis replied with a shrug of his shoulders, "Hey, you said we were laying low, so that's what I'm doing laying low, besides it's you who suggested this cover so take care of me, Grandpa!" He finished speaking with a giant grin plastered on his face.
Addi's mouth twitched as he looked at Omis acting like that and couldn't help but say, "You know, keep giving me that stupid grin and I might just slap it off your face, to teach you some manners of course, Grandson!" He added, empathizing on the last part with his own smirk on his face.
Glaring back at him, Omis was about to reply when the voice of the guard interrupted them.
"Next!"
Walking towards the open entrance, Omis and Addi were led to a small door for civilians on foot, the giant open door next to them was meant for horse carriages, merchants and nobles.

Passing by the small door, the duo were soon stopped by two guards.
"Please hand over your verification documents." politely asked the guard.
At that request, Omis awkwardly turned towards Addi, his eyes asking him what to do. He did not know they needed any documents to enter the city, though it would be easier to just use his cultivation base to influence the guards, however, that wouldn't quite be considered as laying low.
Addi's face was unfazed as he smiled towards the guard, his hand went towards his inner robe pockets from where he pulled out two pieces of paper and handing them to the guard.
The guard quickly read through them, before he looked back at Omis and Addi, he then asked.
"What is the purpose of your visit today grandpa?" He asked before returning the documents to Addi.
Letting out a hearty laugh, Addi grabbed Omis by the shoulder and brought him closer. "Hoho—I'm bringing my foolish grandson to see the glorious capital city!"
Nodding in understanding, the guard looked towards Omis with a proud smile before speaking, "First time visiting eh?"
"Yes! I can not wait to see the castle of the emperor up close!" Replied Omis, his eyes sparkling.
"Emperor?" The guards face suddenly turned strange as his gaze changed.
SMAAACK
The sound of Addi hitting the back of Omis's head followed by a cry of pain was quickly heard in the area, before Addi shouted.
"You ignorant child! How many times do I have to teach you that it's EMPRESS, EMPRESS, not Emperor!" quickly turning back to the guard who had a weird look on his face Addi spoke apologetically.
"Forgive this foolish child, he is still ignorant of the empress's glory, I'll be sure to properly teach him!"

"Ah, O-okay, uh you may pass." Replied the Guard with an awkward look, before he turned towards the door and shouted.
"Next!"
Addi gave another apologetic bow before grabbing Omis by the ear and dragging him away.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!"
Once they passed the entrance and were inside the city, Omis slapped Addi's hand away and started rubbing his ear.
"Damn it old man! You want to die!?" He growled.
"I just didn't want to blow our cover." smiled Addi with an innocent look on his face.
"You were enjoying that too much!"
Letting out a light smirk, Addi replied. "Maybe.."
"You bastard, just wait! You're lucky I don't want to blow our cover, or I would just obliterate your ass, to hell with the entire damn city! And how the hell am I supposed to know it's Empress, not Emperor? Wait, how the hell do YOU know it's Empress!?"
"Hmm? Obviously, when I scanned the city."
Letting out a tired sigh of defeat, Omis asked. "Forget it, what are we going to do now?"
"Well, it's been a while since I last came to the Mortal world so let's just take it easy, first we need a place to stay money should not be a problem."
"Hmm, take it easy you say. then how about opening a shop?" asked Omis, his eyes sparkling as he looked towards Addi.
"Why the hell would we want to do that? Are you dumb?" Replied Addi with a blank look on his face, as he looked at Omis like he was staring at an idiot.
Giving out a cold smile, Omis raised his fist as he covered it with his Qi and walked closer to Addi with a bone-chilling grin.
"O-Okay! OKAY! Stop! You're not dumb! You're not! Let's open a shop! That sounds like a brilliant idea!" hurriedly spoke Addi as he moved away from Omis.
Hearing Addi's approval, Omis's face regained his former amicable smile as he hugged Addi by the shoulders.
"Why didn't you say so already, Grandpa! I'm sure we would have tons of fun!"
Shaking his head in defeat Addi muttered. "Crazy bastard."
"What did you say?" asked Omis with a smile.
"Nothing! Let's just go look for a shop to rent, that shouldn't be too hard."
"After you!" replied Omis.
Soon the two figures, one old and one young delved deeper into the streets of the capital, their goal? To find a shop where they would lay low until the gate to the underworld clears.

Essentia Animus
Second Book of the Soul - Celesi Veil Trilogy When the living essence of three girls are put at risk, giving room for a second essence within themselves, even their hyper developed fantasy world might not be enough to contain their new found ambitions. Another story of another world, these three girls must adapt to their new essence, all while each is left to question if they are truly still even alive. While this story is a sequel of the previous story in the trillogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place in a distant corner of a Celese returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for the previous book, in case that matters to anyone. This story takes place over two centuries after the events of Vitae Memorandum, when Celese had developed into an advanced world, improved to a point that it is much like modern-day Earth while still using the gift instead of technology. The Aethyx languages are still present in this book, and even English still exists in the world after the events of the previous book, but are much less of a focus after the same closing events of the previous book. What is instead important is how the ending events of the previous book had resulted in the start of the Instrumentation Era, and exactly how the gift translates in a modern-day sense. While this book is still effectively a fantasy world of its own kind of magic, it isn’t the classical medieval scene that would be typical for such a story. The laws of science still do not exist in Celese, but that didn’t stop it from developing into something that looks similar enough. Earth itself still remains present on the other side of the veil, and its previous exposure continues to shape and advance Celese into the world it has become. This story contains scenes exibiting mania and similar dark themes, as it goes to great length to explore concepts of life and death. While the degree of such themes should not be considered to be as serious compared to matters such as actual horror, the psychological depth is still siginifcant enough to be potentially concerning for people sensitive to matters of this nature, such as any individuals with concerns questioning matters of suicide, mental harm, or a variety of emotional injuries. While none of these subjects actually occur in the story, readers who are currently troubled by such matters may find themselves considering old wounds if they are especially capable of empathy while reading, which could lead to furthered emotional or mental stress. Readers with a high capacity for empathy may find themselves troubled by concerns regarding any potential lack of mental/emotional control as well as considerations regarding the meaning of death. Readers who appreciate subtle dark themes in a story may instead find this to be an interesting twist of the same idea.
