《The Strength of Duality (Newly Edited)》Gratitude
Advertisement
Feng Bao then said with a smile “Alright, it is good to be so strong willed, especially when you have the strength to back it up. Now that that is over, my clan would like to thank you for saving Mei’er at a celebratory banquet. Is that fine with you?”
Like usual Yun Tian looked at Shen Yu for her opinion. She shrugged and said “It could be fun Dage.”
By now there was a large audience of elders and other clan members gathered around. They were all shocked and were looking at Yun Tian as if he was a monster.
Feng Bao said his words quite loudly and when they heard it, one of the elders asked “Clan leader, is this young man the one who saved the young Miss.”
At that, Feng Bao yelled for everyone to hear “Yes this man is named Li Hao and he is the one who saved my Mei’er. By his side is his sister Li Yu. Everyone is to treat them with great respect. We shall have a celebratory banquet in their honor now. Elders gather in the hall.”
Hearing his words everyone in the clan instantly looked more respectful and grateful when they looked at Yun Tian. They already had respect for his strength, but their respect came from gratitude rather than just his power.
Yun Tian saw how they truly cared for Feng Mei. He realized this clan was nothing like the Yun clan. This made Yun Tian smile and think ‘Why couldn’t the Yun clan be like them and care so much for each other.’
No one left immediately as they were still looking at Yun Tian. Feng Bao therefore repeated himself “Everyone disperse except for the elders and others who will join the banquet.”

With that everyone left to go back to whatever they were doing. A group of Elders and some important younger generation members, including Feng Mei, stayed around though.
After the people dispersed Feng Bao said “Let’s head over to the hall then.”
Yun Tian followed behind Feng Bao who led them into the clan meeting hall. There were many servants within the clan and on the way there, Feng Bao ordered them to prepare a feast for them.
The clan hall was large and there were several large tables. Feng Bao led Yun Tian to the table in the middle where the most important members of the clan sat.
The people who sat at this table were Yun Tian, Shen Yu Feng Bao, Feng Mei, and other important elders.
Once they were seated Feng Bao asked Yun Tian “Do you drink alcohol?”
Hearing this Yun Tian was stumped. He had never drunk any alcohol in his first life nor this one.
Ultimately he decided against drinking any since he wanted to be in his best condition.
“No, I don’t drink.”
Hearing that Feng Bao thought ‘He does seem quite young. His strength made me forget about him looking so young. I wonder how old he actually is?’
Yun Tian certainly did act older than he actually was and the way he looked attributed to him seeming older. His body had constantly been nourished with qi while cultivating and the demonic qi strengthened his body.
He wasn’t overly muscular, but his figure was still very lean and tight. He was also much taller than normal people his age.
Feng Bao then said “Okay that’s fine if you don’t drink.”
“Still, I would like to propose a toast to you as a way of thanks to you for saving my Mei’er.”

Then he said louder so everyone could hear.
“Everyone listen up! This young man, named Li Hao, saved my daughter! Without him, we would not be seeing her here today. I want everyone to join me in a toast as a way of thanks.”
“To Li Hao!”
Everyone repeated “To Li Hao” and then took sips of their drinks.
While this was happening Yun Tian was happy seeing so many people thank him while also slightly flustered.
Shen Yu pinched his arm under the table and teased him “Aren’t you popular now?”
After this happened everyone made small talk and ate the food that was quickly delivered by the servants.
Feng Bao and Feng Mei were the main ones talking to the two of them.
At one point Feng Mei asked “If you don’t mind, may I ask where you are from?”
At this everyone perked up. They couldn’t help, but wonder what kind of place could produce such a genius as Yun Tian.
It is unfortunate that Yun Tian only said “I come from humble origins in a unimportant town. It is just the two of us now.”
Part of what he said was true, but no one believed what he said. None of them believed he didn’t come from some great force that nurtured him. Otherwise how could he get so strong. Since he didn’t say that though, no one asked about it again.
They made small talk and quickly the meal ended.
Afterwards Feng Bao invited them back to his house to talk about some things. That was what Yun Tian wanted too, so he followed along.
Feng Mei, Feng Bao, Yun TIan, and Shen Yu were all sitting on couches and chairs in Feng Bao’s house.
Feng Bao started the conversation “First of all, I still plan to give you a reward for saving my daughter. Is there anything you want in particular?”
This is what interested Yun Tian the most so hearing this he said “Yes, earlier your fist skill was of mid spirit grade at least right? I was looking for some swords and skills of at least mid grade. If it’s too much to give as a reward, I also have some skills and swords of low spirit grade to trade or sell.”
Hearing this Feng Bao thought for a moment ‘Does he truly have no backer?’
He decided not to dwell on it and said “What kind of skill are you looking for?”
Immediately Yun Tian said “A sword skill.”
While he may have the deadly flash and flowing stream sword style skills, both of them were of the low spirit grade. With his talent he may be able to improve them if he spends enough time, but it was certainly faster to find better skills to learn from.

Caged within the Ravencourt
A short and pain-filled life was all that Melissa was given, and it wasn't until falling asleep for the last time that she was finally given something more. Waking up in a healthy and young body, and faced with an unfamiliar culture and even more inexplicable sights, Melissa had to adapt to her life new as Kalie, the third Princess of the Shattered Isles of Cerith. It didn't take long for Kalie to realize that even though she finds herself in a strange world, she may just be one of the strangest parts of it. As Kalie comes to terms with her bizarre new life, she finds herself set in the sights of the powerful new king of a far off land. Eventually finding herself taken away to be Caged within the Ravencourt. This story is world spanning, and slow to start. It's my intention to build up towards the epic story I'm hoping to tell. Don’t expect over the top powers, just smart characters using magic interestingly. And, like my other stories, the focus is on the characters themselves, less so the world they’re in. Enjoy!

Denouncer of Fantasy
This isn't earth... Here the forests meet the heavens, the mountains touch the clouds and the sun shines bright above. The air is clean, the water sparkles, the people smile; as time grinds its' wheels. Here knights march in step, and dragons wheel in the skies carried the softest breezes towards far different lands. Ships lie in harbor, as humans and elves and dwarves and many races beside scramble, rush about their daily lives; frenzied and frantic. Here mages wait in towers, and king sit upon their thrones planning for war in coming time, here adventure and adventurers roam the world alike unchecked. It's not somethig you could belive unless you saw it with your' own two eyes. It's almost like a dream- But it is not a fantasy.

My Failed Reincarnation as a Demon’s Prisoner
When Kayn opened his eyes in the empty void, he was met with a familiar voice and the knowledge that he was neither dead nor alive and about to be reincarnated. What he didn't expect was to reappear in the world of the living and immediately get captured by a clan of demons, now living as their prisoner. After a lucky encounter, Kayn stumbles upon a room that could possibly give him what he needs to free himself from their captivity. But, as he soon finds out, escaping from the demon queen herself isn't the easiest of tasks... **DISCLAIMER**This story attempts to be quite comedic (I don't know if I'm doing a great job at it) and will be more comedy heavy at the start than later on. As the situations Kayn finds himself in become more grave, the story will become serious and less comedy oriented. There will always be comedy throughout, but at some point I do plan on shifting the focus. I'd love to hear everyones opinion on whether the comedy should be kept in full, or dialed back a little so the plot can take centre stage more often. Happy reading!
