Yan Xiu didn't follow Chen Hanchen back to the village, he went straight home. Although he already contacted Bai Yuan, he couldn't just waltz into the village while bringing a demon beast.
Chen Hanchen would first report it to the head hunter, then after the head hunter checked and gave the permission, only then can Bai Yuan entered the village.
The two of them walked home while avoiding people, with Bai Yuan's speed they reached home fast. Yan Xiu looked at the snake meat tied onto Bai Yuan's back, as they were too much, Chen Hanchen carried half and Bai Yuan carried another half, but even half was still quite an amount.
Bai Yuan carried so much meat from the forest to here and yet, he didn't break that much sweat. It's endurance was really good, "I can ask him to help out later." thought Yan Xiu.
Right when the two of them neared the house, Bai Yuan suddenly stopped and trembled as his hair stood straight. He looked in front of him, at the house to be exact, and growled, although he put up a brave front, the fear in his voice was quite obvious.
"What's wrong?" (YX)
Yan Xiu asked worriedly, in which Bai Yuan answered in between clattering teeth.
"Uho..... Ho... (In front, dangerous. Can't get, closer)." (BY)
Yan Xiu became confused, 'What scaring him?' asked Yan xiu. Then he remembered about his house barrier, 'If I didn't remember wrong, father did say it would prevent any foreign threat to enter or even get close to the house. Maybe it's the barrier' thought Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu was about to explain to Bai Yuan about the barrier, but he saw that Bai Yuan face change to complete fear as he dropped to the ground while trembling. Yan Xiu was shocked and when he looked ahead, he saw a blue pair of eyes hovering in the air.

It's gaze was strict and heavy with authority and power, all of it weigh down on Bai Yuan. Meanwhile, it didn't have any effect on Yan Xiu. 'Is that... Papa?' wondered Yan Xiu, his papa was always smiling and easy-going, his eyes was gentle and kind. And yet, the severe azure eyes in front of him was reminding Yan Xiu of his papa.
Yan Xiu gapped at the eyes and shocked still. The eyes, on other hand, was investigating Bai Yuan. When it saw the thin mental bond between Yan Xiu and Bai Yuan, the eyes became less severe. It slowly dissipate into thin air after one last look of Yan Xiu, in the last moment the eyes looked kind.
"Is it really..... Papa?" (YX)
It was too similar, 'Is papa and mama back?' thought Yan Xiu in daze. Meanwhile, Bai Yuan felt the presence of the scary thing and the pressure that was on him gone. He cautiously lifted his head and looked around, making sure the scary thing was truly gone.
He was relieved, back when the scary thing was gazing on him, Bai Yuan felt he was pressured by a mountain and couldn't even breathe. When Bai Yuan saw Yan Xiu in daze, he thought Yan Xiu was still scared. Bai Yuan nudge Yan Xiu and awoken him from his daze.
"Uhoho! (Me, protect, master!)" (BY)
Said Bai Yuan as he thumped his chest heavily with his fist, his face was fierce. Looking at Bai Yuan, Yan Xiu was amused.
"Okay, I'm counting on you!" (YX)
Bai Yuan showed a smug face when he heard Yan Xiu said that. Yan Xiu took Bai Yuan into the house to place the snake meat into the box on the kitchen. Bai Yuan was still wary about the house at first, but soon relaxed after a while. While Bai Yuan was unloading the meat, Yan Xiu looked around the house, searching for something.

Living room, kitchen, even toilets, he searched the whole house, and yet, there was no signs or silhouette of the two peoples he hoped to find. His parent's room, the last room he had yet to searched. He slowly opened the room, hoping to see the scene of his papa combing mama's hair, the scene he frequently saw.
But, what greeted him was an empty room. Devoid of people or any sign of them. Yan Xiu didn't enter and just observed the room from the door, sadness and loneliness clouded his eyes. Tears pooling, threatening to fall. Yan Xiu scrubbed his eyes with his hand, although still misty and wet, there was no longer sadness or loneliness in his eyes. Regaining their strength and brilliance, the fire of determination burned brightly in those eyes.
"One day.... I'll definitely find you..." (YX)
He closed the door and head to his room. He put away his hunting gear, took a shower and changed clothes. When his back to the kitchen, Bai Yuan was waiting there obediently.
When Bai Yuan saw Yan Xiu, he came over and looked at Yan Xiu worriedly. Because of the mental bond between them, they could feel each other subtle mood, so of course Bai Yuan could feel Yan Xiu sadness from early. Yan Xiu felt Bai Yuan's worry and the loneliness in his heart lessen.
After his parents disappeared, the house no longer felt warm and grew cold, he felt the house became bigger but hollow and empty. But with Bai Yuan here with him, the house felt warmer and less empty. The contract was a coincidence, but now, Yan Xiu couldn't help but be grateful for it and felt like it was not an accident.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Thanks. Just wait, I'll make something tasty to welcome you, the new family member!" (YX)
When he heard the word "tasty" Bai Yuan grew excited, Yan Xiu smiled and started cooking. He first cook a lot of rice and make a simple tomato salad, and then he minced a mix of pork and snake meat.
The minced meat then was added beaten egg, garlic, pepper, and some sauce. Yan Xiu mixed it all together with hands, resulting into a beautiful pink meat patty. Patting the meat a few times to let out the air inside, he took out a flat fry pan and heat up some oil on it.
The meat sizzle when they touched the oil, the sweet heavy smell of the meat filled the air. Bai Yuan was already waiting expectantly and was tortured even more by the smell, he looked at the meat and took in the smell greedily.
Yan Xiu fry both side evenly and it came out great, both side was fried perfectly, Yan Xiu placed it on a plate with a small bowl containing black pepper sauce, the hamburger was oozing with meat sauce.
Yan Xiu and Bai Yuan ate with relish, the tomato salad was refreshing and light, the hamburger was filling with heavy spicy taste. The balance of taste was exquisite.
After eating, Yan Xiu took out a hammock bed his father make for fun and tied it between the tree outside as Bai Yuan's bed. Bai Yuan liked his new bed and happily jumped on it before searching for the best position to lie on it. Yan Xiu leave him and went to his own bed after checking the field and livestock, a round of cultivation and he went to bed.

Statless
Summary Alexander Weiss, an intelligent and slightly unusual man, always dreamt of becoming a mage. Sadly, reality is harsh and even his best efforts never allowed him to achieve his goal during his lifetime... or did they? One has to be careful what they wish for, lest they might live to see it fulfilled. Description Follow Alex, a man whose pursuit of magic could not even be stopped by his non-magical reality, going as far as to create it himself, only to encounter an unsurmountable obstacle shortly before achieving his lifes goal, denying him all access to these powers. His journey will take him through a miraculous world, full of wonders, magic and manic beasts trying to devour him! He will learn much about this world during his adventures, exploring individual aspects of the System and the various monsters that came from it... or did they? Strong points What you'll get from this novel is the following (read with overly enthusiastic salesman-voice) : • An ending! I'll complete it, no matter what. Well, not "no matter what", but as long as I don't unexpectedly end, this novel won't either! • Good grammar! Might not be perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not detract from the story in the slightest. I'll also fix any reported mistakes as soon as possible, be they grammatical, syntactical or just inconsistencies. • No plot-armor! Or plot-weapons! Or plot-... potions? And no plot-holes! If you see some, it's most likely information that is being witheld for future revelations! But in the (hopefully) very unlikely case of such a vile beast being encountered, please inform me immediately and I'll see to slaying it without grace! (Translation: If you see plot-holes, tell me and I'll fix them) • Logic! [Hidden : Spoilers][Hidden : More Spoilers] [Moved to Chapter [Hidden Spoiler]'s Author's Note] Marvelous, I know! • Blue Boxes! And maybe something more! • Sensible retroactive edits! Not to be confused with radioactive edits! You'll not have to re-read previous chapters, even if they get some major edits. If they were to receive new information, I'll add that very information to the newly released chapters too, in a reasonable way. • Realism! Shocking, I know! Especially considering the tag related to that and the point about "Logic!". This also means that the story will be... well, realistically depicting a pretty messed up world. Don't expect bunnies... at least not cute ones. • Relatively faster paced! No long and boring descriptions of irrelevant stuff. There will be some longer descriptions about important things, but that's gonna be necessary world- and/or character-building! • Short action! Might not be a plus for some, but you won't have to look at a whole (or, god forbit, multiple) chapter describing a fight against the same enemy... • Strategy and hard progression! It's a dog-eat-dog world! No grinding/power-creep! If you're up against three enemies of your level at once, you've already lost! • Understanding! It will be mostly about discovering the wonders of this new world and how it became like that, all while trying to survive. So there will be enough action nonetheless! • Humor! Sometimes dark, sometimes light, always at the worst moment! • Constructive critics, welcome! Destructive critics, nope... I can handle criticism though, so don't go easy on me! Just make sure it's really a mistake when complaining about something. • Will add more in the future! If I can think of more stuff...

The entities known as the Beings of Old have long since staked claims to most of that gem-shaped manifold which is existence. Their alien, furtive, and impenetrably distant politicking has ebbed and flowed throughout past ages, beyond the awareness of most thinking creatures… and recently, it has begun to accelerate. For Sebastio Artaxerxes - and many civilians outside reality’s facets, especially in the transcendent city of Rhaagm - interest in such matters becomes far more pressing after a madman decides to claim a relic of one of the Olds. Sebastio’s demons tell him that fighting the man he once called friend will only end in tears. His soul tells him that tears are only shed by the living, and that the living at least may overcome regrets with time and effort.
