YIN-YANG DEVOURER

"Hey by the way... And what is your name to all this?" Ruvan asked with a smile.

"Archivald... Archivald Lescott" The bandit said as he took a couple of sips from the glass of wine Ruvan had poured for him.

"And yours?"

"Ruvan, Ruvan Svarnas"

"What a weird name..."

"Not as much as your face..."

"FUCK YOU"

"HAHAHAHA"

"How long have you been in this place?" Ruvan asked with some curiously. This guy had definitely been stranded in this damn place for several years.

"About seven years," Archivald replied in a bitter tone…

"And in these seven years you became the leader of a band of bandits... It's a noble aspiration"

"Hey you can't blame me... In a shitty place like this you're either a bandit or you just starve to death"

"I have nothing to say against that" Ruvan admitted as he stood up. He had been sitting chatting with Archivald for several minutes.

"Well... What's your plan?"

"Plan? Waiting for you to kill me, of course," Archivald said as if it were the most logical thing to do.

"That would be very boring... How about you become my subordinate?" Ruvan said with a tentative smile.

"I'd rather die than serve you" Archivald said as he showed Ruvan the middle finger.

"What's wrong with serving me? "I'm sure it's better to serve me than to play the role of the bandit who hides his face behind a mask..."

"Besides, I'm a member of a Sect that's full of beauties...."Ruvan said with a salesman's smile.

"A Sect full of beauties? Which Sect do you belong to?"Archivald asked with a certain curiosity and longing, after all there were almost no women in the Desolate Mountain Range.

"To the Sect of the Hidden Flower"

"Hidden Flower Sect? How the hell did you get in there?"Archivald asked with wide eyes. The fame of the beauties of the Hidden Flower Sect was well known anywhere on the continent.

"Don't you know that? The Sect started accepting male disciples about five years ago... How is it possible that you don't know?"Ruvan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Tsskk... Do you really think that kind of news comes to such a desolate place like this?"

"Valid argument..."

"Well? What do you say?"

"I'm not sure... I don't know what my father would think if he found out that I leave the place where he ordered me to stay" Archivald said with some resistance. The fear of his father was rooted in the depths of his soul…

"Hey buddy... Are you really planning to obey the man who exiled his own son just because he was ugly?" Ruvan asked with some mockery.

"..." Archivald.

"But..."

"No buts... Besides, you have a virgin face from here to the Central Continents"

"It's time to finally get out of this damn place and finally see a pair of pretty tits" Ruvan said as he took out a medicinal pill from his space ring.

"HEY BASTARD... WHY THE HELL DO YOU THINK I'M A VIRGIN?!?!"

"For your information I have already done it with many women" Archivald said with a smug voice.

"Have you done it without the mask on?"Ruvan asked with a mocking smile, after all he already knew the answer to that question.

"..." Archivald.

"Answer..."

"Fuck you..."

"Then in my opinion you are still a virgin"

"..." Archivald simply remained silent.

"Now just let me put the stamp on you..."

"Do you really think I'll do it voluntarily?

"Do you want me to put it on you?"Ruvan said as he activated a few rays on the tips of his fingers.

"Glup"

"Forget it... If I'm going to be a slave I'll do it of my own free will" Archivald said quickly, after all he himself had witnessed how devastating those golden rays could be…

"Good decision friend... I promise you won't regret it" Ruvan said with a smile.

"Here... Take this," Ruvan said as he threw a small glass jar at Archivald.

"What is it?"Archivald asked while holding the glass jar.

"A bone pill... Will help you recover quickly from all your breaks"" Ruvan said.

"Why are you helping me so much?"Archivald didn't understand why Ruvan was giving him such a valuable resource just for his healing…

"Simply on a whim"

"You're a pretty weird someone..."

"And your someone quite..."

"STOP! I GOT IT."

"HAHAHAHA"

Archivald retreated to a corner to digest the contents of the bone pill. The bone pill was a sky-level pill quite famous for its effectiveness in dealing with breakages. These kind of pills would sell for a high price at any auction but fortunately for Archivald, Ruvan had a couple of these saved in his space ring.

'I really have to thank my Master for her generosity'

Xiong Mei had left a wide range of pills and resources to Ruvan, after all she was one of the richest Cultivators in the entire area.

"Mr. Ruvan" Finally Mr. Greames along with the bandit made their appearance. Behind them stood Mr. Greames's huge pack-camel.

"Mr. Greames! It's good to see you well"

"I'm really surprised... I never imagined that your plan would work" Mr. Greames said with amazement as he took a look at the vast amount of digs that were in the cave, especially the gigantic corpse of the level four Hyena of the Sands.

Mr. Greames had quite a few doubts about Ruvan's plan, after all there were a lot of beasts and enemies involved…

The appearance of the gigantic level four Hyena was another unforeseen fact which undoubtedly meant a serious setback in Ruvan's plans, but to the surprise of Mr. Greames, even the powerful beast ended up perishing before Ruvan's ingenuity…

"Sometimes you have to have faith Mr. Greames"

"In the meantime help me to recover the hyena skins... I promise to give you half as payment for your help"

"Really?"

"When have I lied to you?"

"..." Mr. Greames.

'I still remember when you told me that I should only guide you to the edge of the Desolate Mountain Range...'

"Hahahaha this time I mean it seriously... Your help has been very useful to me in this place"

"Thank you very much Mr. Ruvan"

"Hey you"

"Yes?"

"Go get the beasts of these idiots and bring them!" Ruvan said while pointing at the unconscious Edmar.

"YES SIR" The bandit wasted no more time and quickly went to diligently fulfill his task.

"Ssss"

"I know. I know.. Don't worry"

"We will store the Hyena's body in the freezing chamber... This way you can consume it peacefully" Ruvan said as he approached to store the corpse of the gigantic beast.

The freezing chamber was a medium-sized freezing matrix which was used to preserve all kinds of perishable products. This chamber was ideal to stop the decomposition of meats, however its high maintenance cost made it an inaccessible option for normal growers.

'I'll need several ice crystals the next time I go shopping' Ruvan thought with a bitter smile, after all elemental crystals were quite expensive…

'Hopefully the whole body fits... If not, I'm afraid I'll have to cut the hyena's body into pieces...'

After a couple of hours, Archibald finally recovered…

"Have you tied the disciples to the beasts yet?"

"Yes sir" Said the bandit diligently. All this time he was carrying the unconscious disciples one by one.

This was his chance to show that he could be of use…

"Great... It's time to go"
