《Ancient Cultivator in Modern World》Chapter 76: Having the Prey, Lure the Tiger
Advertisement
The established truth that the Yin Accumulating Parasite couldn't be removed was a complete farce for Khan who had myriad experiences against those cultivators who walked on the devious path of evil cultivation.
He understood that under the heavens, everything followed a cycle of life and death and the cycle of solutions and problems.
If a solution to a certain problem was nowhere to be found, that doesn't mean that the answer didn't exist that, it could only mean that the solution still doesn't exist.
The Cycle of Yin and Yang says that Yin could only be suppressed by the Tyrannical Yang and Yang could only be subdued by Extreme Yin.
With this law in mind, Khan formulated a solution towards the current trouble, and that was, to forcefully repress the Yin Accumulating Parasite with his Extreme Yang Physique.
However, Khan only knew two methods of infusing his Yang Energy towards the jet-black haired woman, and that was through intercourse or by summoning his Yang and injecting through her skin.
But the problem was, Khan understood that the young woman's physique would be unable to endure his domineering Yang and forcefully doing it would result in unimaginable consequences.
That's the reason why he became apprehensive, for the Yin Accumulating Parasite was about to burst and if not placated, it would eventually kill the young woman.
But as he faltered, his eyes landed on Lily followed by the formation of an absurd idea as he exclaimed, "Lily! I have a way to help her without going through intercourse!"
Lily's disturbed expression shook, her eyes that became somewhat moisty shone with hope as she said, "Really?"
"Yeah, however, I need your complete cooperation." He replied with a solemn tone and his eyes, focused on the Lily whose eyes showed the determination that she had in curing the young woman.
She nodded her head and stood up, "What are we going to do?" Her expression grim as she spoke.
"Yin-Yang Assimilation Method!"
"Eh?"
Her serious expression dissipated, replaced with a blank look and an unconscious cry that came from her mouth. Within several seconds, her face became flushed and she looked somewhat fidgety.
Understanding that he spoke in a tone that gathered misunderstandings, Khan revealed an awkward smile before continuing, "We will use you Extreme Yin Physique to overload the Yin Accumulating Parasite, and before it could explode, I will cover it with my Qi so that her body wouldn't be damaged."
He described it in a simple way, yet Lily understood the difficulty in using such method, especially her part where she knew that she needed to utilize just the right amount of Yin in feeding the Parasite so that its eruption could be predicted.
Even so, the light within her eyes didn't falter as she nodded her head and prepared her mind towards the task at hand.
Summoning the might of his entire cultivation base, a faint silhouette of a Nature Dragon materialized in the air behind Khan, its mouth, opened slightly as a roar that shook the entire mansion rang out.
Lily stared silly at the Nature Dragon. Because of their affinity to nature, those who belonged to the Nature Dragon Race had gentle and kind attitudes, however, Khan's Dragon was different, for it emanated a domineering might and a power that could topple everything under the heavens.
The Dragon coiled around Khan's body, and it shone in a mysterious crimson light which made the former, somewhat horrified towards the undulations that it gave off.
Especially Khan's eyes that glimmered in a scarlet light which made him look like an ancient beast that had just awakened.

The air around the mansion became scorchingly hot, and Lily, who noticed this aberrance, summoned the might of her physique followed by the materialization of a Nature Dragon that looked identical to Khan, however, it became meek before Khan's presence and looked like it was about to praise its ancestors.
Lily threw a puzzled look towards Khan, 'Why is it that his Dragon looks much stronger than mine when the bloodline that he has come from me?'
Khan noticed this, but could only inwardly smile as he thought, 'If this little girl knows about my true identity, I wonder, just how will she react?' He felt quite amused but immediately dispelled the idea to focus on his current task.
He stretched his arms and his hand, removed the towel that covered Lily's voluptuous figure and embraced the beauty in his arms. With their close physical contact, the Yin-Yang Assimilation Method automatically circulated, and forcefully subdued the two extreme temperatures that clashed in the air, simmering them down.
Khan's eyes that shone in a critical light, landed on Lily whose figure visibly trembled in anxiousness.
"It's okay, I'm here with you." Khan consoled her by ruffling her head, which made the former's eyes, narrow in pleasure.
She nodded and with her will, the frosty air that calmly circulated condensed into a beam of light which shot towards the trembling figure of the young woman that laid on the couch.
The latter's figure shook as the terrifying Yin entered her lower abdomen, and upon being detected by the Yin Accumulating Parasite, it immediately went to work and absorbed the Yin without any care.
Khan's Yang Energy followed suit, and gently enveloped her body with his Divine Emperor Qi, protecting her from further damage.
The bulge on her lower abdomen became bigger as each second passed by, when it reached a certain point where she looked like a pregnant woman, Khan's Yang Energy exerted its might and forcefully interrupted the absorbing process, causing the Yin Accumulating Parasite to suffer a backlash which made it throw up, all the Yin Energy that it just absorbed.
As a result, the Parasite's body deflated, spilling the frosty air of the Yin Energy inside her body. But before it caused further harm, Khan's Yang Energy siphoned all the Yin and used it as a furnace for the Yin-Yang Assimilation Method.
With the backlash that the Parasite suffered, the shivering of the young woman's body gradually disappeared, and soon enough, her expression became calm as she slept like a newborn baby.
The duo sighed in relief and Lily's body fell on the ground with a plop, beaded sweat covering her forehead, for this was the most difficult problem that she had encountered in her entire life.
Khan, on the other hand, glanced at the sleeping young woman and said, "Lily, do you want to find out about where those bastards are hiding?" He leaked a slight smile and his eyes, exuded a confident light.
Lily's expression became elated, "Really?! You have a method to find where they are?"
The former only smiled, before moving towards the naked figure of the young woman that slept on the couch. When he arrived before her, his hand moved and spread her legs, causing Lily who observed at the side, to frown.
"Just what the hell are you doing?" Her eyes landed on Khan's lower body and found that his lance had a reaction and her frown deepened even further.
Khan didn't retort and infused his finger with Mana before inserting it inside her. As his finger entered, a sound akin to that of glass breaking echoed, and Lily's frown, transformed into confusion as she stared at him with an incredulous light within her eyes.

Khan felt Lily's stare and, he finally turned around and said, "Since we don't know where they are, the only method that would work best, especially that the enemy doesn't know about our prowess, is to have them come before us."
"To do that, I shattered the Rune that made her mind loyal towards them, with this, I can finally ask her some questions which will shed some light towards the locations of those bastards."
Lily's eyes became filled with hope, for they finally had a clue towards the perpetrator of this incident, and perhaps, they could finally remove the Parasite that was inside the two girls.
She was so elated that tears started to spill from her eyes and drenched her rosy cheeks. Khan leaked a small smile and brought her face towards his chest.
The solution that Khan utilized, didn't actually remove the problem from its roots. For to completely remove the Parasite, the death of the person who attached it was required.
Regardless, because of Khan's suppression, there was no more risk of the Parasite exploding which made him sigh in relief.
Khan stretched his palm towards the sleeping woman's direction and willed, "Seed of Attachment!" A green light flew from his palm and struck the woman whose figure visibly trembled before sitting up, groggily.
Her eyes opened, revealing a blank light as if she was dead.
But instead of worrying, Lily became excited, for she knew that the Seed of Attachment didn't do any harm towards the attached person, however, they would act according to the caster's will, which made it suitable for their interrogation.
Khan's mind simulated innumerable questions that would not trigger the hibernating Yin Accumulating Parasite's self-destruct function. Since when he suppressed the Parasite, he noticed that the Parasite was given an instruction to die with its host if a certain information was revealed towards a third party.
Within several seconds, he decided on a question and said, "When you arrived at the University of Modern Magic, did you walk or you used a car?"
"I walked." A monotone voice replied.
Khan's eyes shone in a brilliant light, "Okay, then, from what direction did you come?"
"North."
"I see, I see, then, how long did it take for you to arrive from the place where you lived towards the University of Modern Magic?"
"It took me, approximately twenty minutes to arrive on foot." She replied and with this, Khan snapped his fingers and his figure plopped back on the couch.
Lily who observed everything from the side, frowned for she didn't understand why Khan asked those irrelevant questions instead of asking the truth directly from her.
However, sensing the confident light that came from her husband's eyes, she decided to trust him and just stood there, embracing his arm.
When Khan received that information, he had already started several simulations within his mind, but before he could conclude everything, he had one final question that needed to be answered.
"Lily, can I borrow your smartphone for a bit?"
"Why would you want to borrow it, so suddenly?"
"I just want to take a look at the map."
"Okay, then." Lily went towards her bedroom and when she returned, she brought with her two blankets and covered the two girls that peacefully slept and gave her smartphone to Khan.
Khan opened the map application and scoured. Suddenly, his lips leaked a slight smile as he opened the Phone app and started dialing.
"Hello, This is Perpetual Greed General Hospital, What is your emergency?" A serene sounding tone, belonging to that of a woman rang out.
'Hospital?' Lily became perplexed. However, since Khan was talking on the phone, she decided not to interject and just observe the situation.
"Yes, erm... I found two unconscious young women before the gate of my house and I decided to shelter them for a while, they seemed fine earlier, but now, their bodies feel cold... and... I don't know what to... do..." Khan suffused an uncertain and panicked tone, causing Lily who stood at the side, to almost burst into laughter towards his lame act.
"I see, then, may I know your address so that we can send you an ambulance?" The woman on the other line said,
Khan willingly gave them his address and continued, "Also... Maam... These two girls are strange... Because they're claiming that they don't have any names and they said that their names were Zero Two and One-Five..."
As he reached the end of his sentence, the person on the other end paused for a moment before saying, "Sir, It could be possible that they're also suffering in some kind of a mental disorder, I advise that you don't casually approach them since people like that are dangerous."
"I see, I see, Thank you for the advice, Maam, and also, when will the ambulance arrive?" Khan's tone became filled with gratefulness and he politely asked.
"We will be arriving there in ten minutes."
"Okay, Maam, thank you and please hurry up, since their bodies are getting colder by each second, It's like I have two additional air conditioners in here!" Khan jokingly said and the other line cut off the connection.
After ten minutes, Dobart's voice came from the door saying that there was someone looking for him.
With a slight smile and with Lily in tow, Khan walked towards the door and opened it, revealing the figure of three females whose figure looked like they were in their early twenties.
"Sir, could you bring us to the patient?"
"Sure!" Khan nodded his head, and he didn't seem to find anything suspicious, despite the fact that the three females didn't wear the outfit of a nurse at all and the only item that indicated their affiliation to the Perpetual Greed General Hospital was their Identification Card that dangled down their necks.
Their expressions slightly changed when it landed on the figures of the two women, but it quickly dissipated as they suffused a slight smile and said, "Sir, It looks like we need to closely examine them to find the source of their illness."
"I see, okay, but can I have my wife accompany you guys towards the hospital? Because it seems like she's quite worried towards the girls." Khan spoke in a pleasing tone.
"It's not a problem, Sir, more like, we need your wife to help us sign some official matters." One of them suffused a pleased smile and replied to Khan. Her eyes shining in a strange light as it landed on Lily, who had a worried expression.
Khan walked towards his little wife and pecked her forehead, causing the latter to avoid his gaze, while the three walked towards the two girls and carried them on their arms as they treaded towards the exit.
"I'll be following you soon, so don't you worry about it, I'm sure that those two girls will definitely be fine." Khan consoled his little wife, which made the three young women that observed at the side, reveal a slight smile towards their interaction.
"We'll be off then, sir." With a final comment, the figures of the four gradually disappeared from Khan's sight.
Just outside the gate, there parked a pure white ambulance, Lily entered it and the three women laid the two sleeping women on a stretcher.
However, when the vehicle moved, Lily sighed in relief, "Sisters, thank you for coming so fast... If not I'm afraid that, the two of them will really die!"
The three women stared at Lily, a slight smile leaked on their faces as one of them, moved near her and said,
"It's okay, they'll be fine, however, instead of them dying, you will be the one, to die." The woman spoke in a cold tone, and her hand, blurred, striking an acupoint on Lily's neck, prompting the latter to faint.
"I thought that this little girl is something good since she managed to remove the Rune attached to this little red cat...Now I'm extremely disappointed." The woman who struck Lily sighed, she took her smartphone dialed a number and when it connected, she spoke a single sentence.
"Targets reacquired, mission, completed."
A slight smile of satisfaction suffused on her lips as the vehicle continued on towards their destination.
Meanwhile, back at the mansion, the figure of the Khan who stood before the entrance shone in a golden light as his body, started to literally turn into dust, revealing the figure of Lily who revealed a confident smile underneath.
Her eyes, shone in a light, filled with utmost faith towards her husband and her lips, slightly opened as she whispered in the air.
"Come back safe, Khan."

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all.

Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess.
