After following Gaya's instruction for a few hours, the golden rays of sunlight appeared on the horizon. The sun rose like a flower opening, gifting its petals unto the world. Amid the dancing, raindrops were the blush of scarlet, the warmth of tangerine. Gazing toward the illuminated clouds, still beneath the ethereal glow, Micheal felt at home in a way he never had before.
In the distance, amid the green of the forested hills was a reflective white strip that could only the waterfall Gaya had mentioned. The waterfall had been like a silent white stream cascading over the rocky outcrops. As he had drawn closer, the noise had increased steadily until he was only a few hundred meters away. He could no longer hear anything but the deafening roar of the water. He moved until he was in the plume of water vapor that hung over the plunge pool and in only minutes, he was as wet as he would have been in any rainstorm. The hair clung to his head and around his face, but no matter how wet they became, it could not dampen his spirit and delight as he stood in awe.
"It's beautiful"
Without wasting any time he dived into the water and began to enjoy this nature's gift after a long night of walking and killing.
While he was swimming happily, he saw Gaya transforming into her human self swimming towards the bank to get out of the water.
And when she completely emerged out of the water, his mouth and eyes widened in surprise. He had only seen her in dark lighting and never saw her so clearly until now.
Her tall frame and slender body were like a Victoria secret model. Her blue eyes, like the sea, were calm and emotionless. Although her hair was wet, he could see the beauty of her long, wavy raven black hair, so smooth and silky, almost as if it was tailored from some high-end black fabric.
Even though he had seen countless models and actresses in his previous life who were devastatingly beautiful, compared with the woman right in front of him, those models and actresses appeared to be less attractive and were no match for this woman's imposing beauty and grace.
And when she shook the water from her hair and put it back, his heart skipped a beat as the facial features of this woman were like that of a beautiful painting. The rays of golden light glowed on the fair and smooth cheeks and her face had a tinge of a matured and composed femininity. She also had a poised and dignified grace and arrogance to her which only someone of a high position with influence and power would have.
"Why are you looking at me like that, human?"
He was glad that his lower body was under the water as he swallowed a mouth full of saliva.
[Warning, the host is acting like a beta male]
"f**k you system, look at that girl, any man would drool if they saw a girl like her"
"Stop staring and give me those pills"
She shouted and waved her hands as her wet white dress transformed into golden ones.
She seemed to be purposefully flaunting her beauty by slowly correcting her dress and tying her hair into a ponytail.
However, he understood that if she knew that he was thinking of her as hot and beautiful, she would be more arrogant and prideful, so he decided to tease her.
"You shouldn't have left this water, it might have done something good to your face"
"What did you say?"
Her flash of anger appeared on her face as puffs of smoke could be seen coming out of her nostrils.
"Are you deaf, girl? I said this water might have done something good to your face"
"YOU!"
The moment he repeated his words, her face reddened in anger as she started searching for a stone or a pebble to throw at him in anger while Micheal prevented the system from doing anything rash to her for such a minor matter as this one.
"What are you searching for, mud? To do a mud facial?"
"I'm going to kill you bastard!"
"Then you're on the right track, by showing your ugly face to me"
He loved making her angry and continued to fan her anger as now she was on the verge of jumping into the water and biting him. Hearing him calling her ugly, she was so outraged that it wouldn't be surprising if smoke billowed from her nostrils and mouth.
And finally, she grabbed a fist-sized pebble from the ground and threw it at him.
"I will stone you to death, you jerk"
He laughed seeing her running around and collecting stones to throw at him like a child.
While these two were playing on the surface of the water, a girl who looked graceful and beautiful was seated on the bottom of the water. Her surroundings were evidently sealed off and she was in a state of cultivation. The air around her naked body was filled with an air of power and emits a bone-chilling aura.
As if detecting a sudden movement, the girl abruptly opened her eyes.
"Who dares to come into this territory and disturb my cultivation? "
The girl's brows furrowed as she dashed forward like a torpedo.
While on the shore, Micheal had bought two healing pills and gave it to Gaya as she swallowed the pills with an excited smile like a child eating candy.
"Alright, come to your usual place"
He reached out his arm towards Gaya.
"I'm too lazy to walk anyway"
She quickly transformed herself into a small ball of light and merged into his arm as the black tattoo appeared again.
And just when he was about to turn and leave, he sensed someone moving towards him at high speed.
[Imminent danger!]
The system's warning message rang loud in his mind as he jumped out of its path.
Boom!
The tree behind exploded into pieces and the after blast flung him away.
"What the f**k just happened?"
Gaya shouted as he slowly pulled himself from the ground and saw a girl staring at him with a sword in her hand.
It was a 15-16 year-old young girl. She had arched eyebrows and a delicate oval face. Although she couldn't be compared to Gaya, she was indeed beautiful. In this world according to Abras's study, female cultivators were very beautiful because they cultivated purer bodies.
However, at the moment, that young girl's eyes didn't make her look very friendly or amicable as they were filled with flames of anger.
Seeing her cultivation level, he realized why the system warned him, she was a body strengthening stage level 4 cultivator, and looking at the powerful aura she was radiating, he knew that he had no chance of defeating her, at least not at the moment.
"Who is this bitch, where did she come from? Oh shit"
Gaya's tone indicated she has recognized this person.
"Get the fuck out of here, human, this is bad"
"Was that a mistake?"
He glanced at the destroyed tree beside him and asked the girl.
Her expression hadn't changed though and she still looked furious. Who didn't know this was her sacred cultivation place after all? Everyone in this kingdom knew that Rivertown green valley waterfall was hers but this
pervert had willingly come intending to peek at her training and cultivating.
And even though she was powerful and he had no chance of beating her now, he didn't fear her.
How could he? back on the earth, the whole underworld shiver hearing his name. They even created a saying, if Ghost knows your name, it's already too late.
"Yes, it was a mistake, it was a mistake not to kill you in the first shot"
"I don't know who you are but I think you got the wrong person"
"That bitch won't listen to you human, get out of here"
Gaya urged him as he looked at the girl
"Next time, know your target before attacking"
He can't afford to lose face as he had a system called a badass system for god's sake.
