Mirana helped take off all of the fake skin and clean up all the blood that was on my body. I was not all that eager to be Mirana’s patient. Especially when she knows something about me now if not a lot. The only question is, who is she?

Jin was mostly worried because Mirana knows his status in the underworld. The dangers of knowing the true identity of an underworld ruler is far too great. Even as Belphegor, Jin would rarely show up in the underworld for the sake of those around him. But that was back then when he had other masks beside the Belphegor mask. The only time Jin was active as Belphegor is when things were really important. This was actually the most Jin ever showed himself as Belphegor.

But the real problem lies within knowing who the underworld ruler is. Those who wants to obtain the underworld ruler titles needs to defeat the previous ruler. But most of the underworld rulers tries to hide their identity and was hard to find. Mammon was the only exception because her existence in the underworld was needed and was far too strong. Now that Jin showed himself a lot as Belphegor, he needs to take a few weeks off as Belphegor and stay low. Jin was the only person to hold three underworld titles and with each title comes benefits. The benefits were huge in the underworld and was why many people wish to obtain at least one of the seven titles. Not that many people knew he hold three titles aside from a handful of people.

If any one of those around him gets caught, it would only prove that the man named Belphegor have direct relations with those people and the mess would only get bigger from there on out. Worse, Jin could not protect four girls at once if they are targeted by many people who would use any methods to find who Belphegor is. Mirana already knew who Belphegor is and the quickest and most common way to find out is torture. He would never forgive himself it Mirana or anyone innocent to be involved and put through any types of sufferings.

“Still worried that I might leak your secret?” Mirana asked while applying alcohol and other medicinal ointments to my body.

“No. I’m more worried if you get caught because you know my secret” I told her what was really on my mind.

But she didn’t look worried at all. She gave me a mysteriously sweet smile and then giggled. Mirana actually looked happy that I cared about her safety which confused me. Isn’t it normal to worry for the safety of others?

“Well, I think you should be more worried about yourself Jin. I’ve never seen so many cuts on a person beside you. Ha ha.” Mirana lightly laughs as she strangely feel up my chest with her hands all oiled up by the medicinal ointment. Her eyes and hands moves in sync as they both go down my body and made their way down to the waist area making my entire upper body smell like medicine. Her hands then went back up my body at the same slow speed but her breathing became a little heavier and her eyes became unfocused.

“Uh… Mirana?” I called out to her. But she couldn’t hear me. So I called out to her again. “Mirana?” Again, she was just moving her hands up and down my muscleless torso without even noticing that I called out to her.

“So manly…” She mutters.

‘… Wut? Whut? What!?’ I backed away from the hypnotized person in front of me slowly. It was really scary seeing a pretty girl looking like she was on the verge of eating me.

When I backed away, Mirana broke out of her trance and had a red mark on her face. “Oops ah ha” She laughed it off.

Mirana slightly lost it when she was touching the body she was dreaming about after a long time. Plus, the previous event that occurred to her still had residual feelings remained in her mind.

“Ah… I think I can handle myself from here on out Mirana. I don’t want you to be late for work now” I suggested to her. I really can handle it from here on out.

“O-oh okay…” She gave me a disheartened look before walking away. This made me feel a little bad as my heart sank a little.

‘I knew it… I was being weird again…’ Mirana wanted to cry. She felt ashamed because she was acting weird just by touching his body. The body she’d dreamt for a long time was mysterious but unimaginably desirable to her that she subconsciously entered her lustful state of mind just like when she dreamt of him.

Just when she was about to leave, she felt two arms wrapping around her waist. “!!! Jin?”

The top naked man moved so fast that she couldn’t react in time and he nibbled on her left ear. Just to add a little spice to the fun, he licked and tickled some areas of her ear before backing away. “You forgot something~” Jin playfully said.

“Hu-huh? What did I forget Jin?” Mirana was feeling flushed and turned away to hide her already red face.

“A lucky kiss to start the day. What else?” Jin joked.

But when Mirana heard this, she thought he meant it for real and was really about to give him one long good kiss.

“Just kidding.” He said and pecked her cheek and waved her off. “Good luck now my little silver haired princess.”

Mirana nodded shyly while holding her cheek with one hand. ‘… Did he just call me princess?’ Mirana felt a little confused inside because she didn’t know how she was supposed to feel.

It was a good thing that Meracle and the other two were gone. If not, Meracle would surely take her gun and blow Jin right in the face.

“Alright. I should bandage myself up and take it easy today.” I muttered to myself as I walk back inside the house to finish up and re-dress.

‘Jin. Are you there?’ Lucian called out to him.

‘Yeh. What’s up Lucian?’ Jin felt a little relaxed knowing that Lucian was back.

‘Mind If I take over your body for the day?’ Lucian asked Jin.

‘Huh? What for? Don’t tell me that you are going to hit on more girls.’ Jin inwardly groaned.

‘Ha ha. No. I’m actually going to borrow your body for… medicinal purposes…’ Lucian’s voice trailed off inside Jin’s mind.

When Jin was about to ask the purposes, Lucian appeared right in front of him with a serious look.

Cold sweat rolled down my back because I knew what that look meant. That was not the usual smiley face Lucian had.

‘Grit your teeth’ Lucian said coldly. Lucian’s hand flashed so fast that Jin couldn’t even see it. Lucian back hand slapped Jin and knocked him out cold. ‘Take a good nap Jin. You’ll wake up in about a few hours… noon time at best.’

Lucian immediately took over Jin’s body. “Mmm. Aches a little but over all a good and healthy body.” Lucian mutters to himself. ‘Alright guys! Come on out! We’re going to make a sh*t load of medicines for this guy!’

Assimilator, Ban, and Ren came out and simultaneously spoke.

Ban: “Oi… calm down on the foul words Lucian…”

Assimilator: “*sigh* At least set the domain before calling us out will you?”

Ren: “Whatever… Mistakes were made. Hurry up and set the domain first Lucian.”

Lucian grinned at the three tired men in front of him. “Ha ha! Good to see you guys returned safely from the eighth heaven in one piece!”

“Yeah. But Ban was so hungry that he started to grab a few immortal fruits. So our arrival was slightly delayed.” Ren grumbled.

“… Are you still mad because one of the angel of light threw a spear and it poked you in the ass?” Ban bluntly said.

Ren’s face grew red with anger. “BAN!” Ren yelled out loud. He really didn’t want to talk about the embarrassing matter. Ren could recall that they were racing down from the levels as quick as possible. But along the way, they met with many inhabitants of the heavens and they were really bent on either killing them or capturing them. Lucky for the heavenly inhabitants, Ren, Ban, and Assimilator had no interest in fighting back and only focused on running. But one angel of light was so angry that he threw the spear down out of blind rage and nearly killed another heavenly inhabitant and it was only an infant. Ren went down to protect the small infant only to find out that the small infant wasn’t really a small infant but an angel of light in disguse and stabbed Ren in the back. Well, in this case, it was his ass. Ren received no damage though. But it still hurted his butt.

“… Your fault for trying to be a hero Ren.” Ban pouted and side stepped away.

“AISH! STOP THAT BAN!” Ren’s face was all red as he remembers the horrible event.

“I have to agree with Ban this time Ren. You were trying to be a hero subconsciously and for that reason you paid a high price. *Pfft*” Assimilator tried not to laugh.

All this only made Ren feel worse. “*Sigh* Can we just make the medicines already? I need to get back to put some ointment…”

“Ha ha! Alright Ren.” Lucian laughed as he spread out a small domain within and around Meracle’s house to prevent people from coming in. But it was also to serve another purpose.

The moment Ban, Ren, and Assimilator pulled out the pillaged heavenly treasures that came from the eighth plane, they shined and emitted a golden light and aura that could be said to invigorate the house with life with the energies from the heavens itself.

But that was what the domain Lucian spread out for. He didn’t want the energy to leak out. Mostly because the energies of the heavens itself would influence the fate of the world greatly. The very existence of one heavenly treasure would either draw good luck or bad luck. Good luck because the heavenly energy would bring its bearer good luck. It would also bring bad luck because there could be potential hunters that would seek out these heavenly treasures for their own benefits and would use any means to obtain them because the heavenly treasures would bring happiness beyond materialistic wealth.

“Alright then. Let’s count the ingredients first.” The Assimilator suggested. “One cheap heavenly ginseng only about ten thousand years old, one cubic feet worth of the bark of the heavenly tree which is said to have regenerative properties and only about eighteen thousand years old which is still pretty young…, *blah*blah*blah* …..”

The Assimilator continues to ramble on and the others were slightly stunned on how he was degrading the heavenly treasures. It took thousands of years to grow and yet he is making them sound like it was everyday food or fruits that can be bought from the supermarket!

“Alright! Time to make the medicine!” The Assimilator exclaims as he started to pick out the ingredients.

The four took the entire morning refining, combining, and storing the products. It was almost noon time and Jin was about to wake up.

“Alright Lucian. Let him drink this. This will help him slow down the training process but will help him build a better foundation. So when he does get to the next level, he will definitely be many times stronger than a normal person on that level. When he reaches saint hood, even if he is a low saint, he can take on people on messengers of light levels equally.” The Assimilator handed Lucian a purple-ish bottle. “Basically, all it does is regulate the qi a lot slower, condense the qi accumulated qi a lot quicker, and then… Well… that is a surprise for later”

“Wait… the cultivation method I gave him already allows him to be many times stronger than the normal saint. He is already as strong as a caretaker of the light if he knows how to utilize his qi right and if he does know how to put his qi plans back in order. But if he drinks this… won’t he be too strong? I mean, even if it slows down his training process by a lot. I know you are telling the truth Assimilator. But…” Lucian paled at the thought of Jin getting too strong.

“Oh please. This is us slowing him down. Remember? So don’t worry about him getting to strong. Heck, you need to worry if he is too weak because his growth is being stunt.” The Assimilator smiled. “We’ll give him the rest of the medicines later on anyhow.” The Assimilator sad and left with the other three.

“I hope you are right Assimilator…” Lucian said as he left Jin’s body.

Jin woke back up to see that Lucian was staring at him menacingly with a purple bottle in hand. Without any warning, Lucian forced the purple concoction down his throat and quickly left back into Jin’s mind.

“!!! What was that for? Strangely tastes just like grapes and orange soda put together but a lot more bitter…” Jin smacked his lips as he wipes away the horrid residue.

Back in Jin’s mind…

Lucian was checking out Jin’s qi and inside his body had eleven different qi. But the eleven qi existed in harmony and only one belonged to Jin. Jin’s qi condensed significantly like carbon condensing over millions of years into a diamond. The only difference is, Jin’s qi became a lot more concentrated and did not solidify. They were still in gas form but shined like stars. Jin’s qi level also dropped significantly as well. It dropped all the way back to the starting point on the very first level of the very first stage and was only at the half way point.

‘Oh boy… I hope we didn’t do anything wrong. Now he is still training at an above average speed, but…. It is going to take him a longer time to reach saint hood.’ Lucian weakly laughs.

'Eh. Not a problem. But now we gotta have tighter chains around his original powers and memories. Hurry up Lucian' The Assimilator said and disappeared.

'Alright alright...' Lucian sighed and left as well to put even stronger seals around Jin's original power and memories.
