Life Drain System

"Of course Fashi, I look forward to meeting you again sometime. If you want to hang out and talk sometime come to 'my' business 'Rongyu Wu' later, and tell them you are looking for me. Also if you do not want to come there, then here is my number." Yueliang replied as he handed a piece of paper with his name and number on it to the old man. Then he continued by saying. "This concludes the small and basic demonstration of my main abilities, I hope you all enjoyed it. I look forward to talking to all of you after the party. However for now, we should all enjoy the dance and wonderful feast put out by my father."

After saying this, people started breaking up into groups to dance or talk. Some even having the waiters and waitresses go get deserts or drinks for them. Yueliang went around the room in search of someone. He walked through the crowds until eventually he found who he was looking for, and then said. "Hello Laohu, I hope you are enjoying the effects of the potion."

​​

"Well, it is pretty great. However it would be better if I could just drink it, and it be permanent." Laohu replied.

"I can actually remedy that, however it will take some time until I am better at potion making. As for the blood stream method, it was just an easier way to make it longer lasting. There are even some that can only go into the blood stream and not ingested." Yue said kind of disappointed he could not do better yet.

"You did your best at making it, and succeeded at making the potion that is what matters. However, I am guessing by now you have figured out why we are here. So, has that changed your mind about the marriage arrangement?" Laohu asked kind of curious about the reaction he would soon see. Especially as he just saw Xue walk up behind Yueliang and was about to say hello then stopped at his words to hear the answer.

"Laohu, you know I love your daughter. Yes, I know what your family is involved in, at least a vague idea anyway. Either way, I am just happy to learn more about you both. Am I pleased that she might be killing innocents? I am not the biggest fan of that, however if this job makes her happy, I will support her in whatever endeavors she so chooses. Well that is so long as I do not have to wear a green hat." Yue replied.

Just as Laohu was about to respond, Yue heard a voice from behind him saying. "You will never have to wear a green hat. Heheh. Yue, will you really support me no matter what, and always love me?"

"Xue, I love you, and always will. I will support you in anything you so choose."

"Awe" Xue said as she hugged Yue right there. The people surrounding them looked and were surprised not because of Yue anymore as they felt he could not surprise them anymore, but at Xue because she actually showed emotion and spoke to someone. She even hugged Yueliang.

Yue then spoke saying. "Now that that has been concluded, I wanted to ask you. May I have this dance?" Yue asked putting out his hand.

Xue blushed a little. "Yes, of course." Upon her placing her hand on his, he gently kissed it while gazing into her beautiful eyes, then walked her to the center of the room. After arriving a slow song began to play.

Hearing the music change, Yue said. "It seems fate really wanted us to dance together, and is rewarding us." He chuckled a little, and Xue giggled. The two placed their hands in the proper positions. His hands a little above her hips, hers around his neck. Then the two began to slowly shift into a waltz, from their previous swaying steps.

As the two danced, some joined, however most just watched as the two who have seemingly never danced before were in perfect sync. Their dance was like snow dancing above a beautiful lake. It was graceful, and beautifully pleasing to the eye. Both the ladies and gentlemen in the room were all feeling that it must be wonderful to have a partner that you love so much nothing else exists around them.

Xue and Yue's gaze never left each other except on a few spins, or turns, however they still never looked elsewhere.

Once the song was finally over, the two dancers left the ball room for the well moon and light lit romantic garden in front to talk. As the two walked through the garden, they spoke of what they had been up to since they last spoke, among other things. However after a little over half an hour, Zuzhang came out, and told Yueliang that it is time to speak to the guests, as the party would be ending soon.

Hearing this Yue said kind of sadly. "Farewell Xue, I will see you soon." Then walked into the hall with Zuzhang, spending the next 2 hours meeting each of the guests. Only a few were really notable. One was an extremely intelligent inventor named Kirin. He had invented many of the top quality devices currently in use, even some of the space ships. The other notable mention was just Fashi, the mage. As they already spoke earlier, they kept their conversation short and brief.

Finally once all the meetings were done, and everyone had left Zuzhang asked. "Why did you not tell me you grew so strong?"

"It was not my intention to hide it. I was just showing what I am capable of, as you asked. Of course I only had a month to prepare. If I had a year, well it probably would have been much better. Sorry if I disappointed you." Yueliang said as he knew next to nothing of this world and thought he was still very weak compared to the others born into it.

"Haha, you are joking right? You do realize your strength that you just showed, even if it was not your full strength could topple most others on this planet. For instance that old man Fashi, he could probably best you for now, and maybe Laohu. However that would be in skill and knowledge where as you have a chance with just your raw talent alone. You have not disappointed me, instead you have made me feel very proud." He replied.

"I am glad, that everything work out well. What is next?" Yue asked curious.

"Well, I would normally say I would start grooming you to be my heir. However seeing how strong you are, I figured you will quickly leave this planet. Although at least now I have the honor of you being my adoptive son, and quite the backer if something happens. Not only are you the highest of nobility under the king, you are one of the strongest on this planet." Zuzhang answered Yue's question kind of dejected.

"Do not worry, I have actually planned for this. Well not this situation specifically but me leaving. First I with my blacksmithing, enchanting, magic, and alchemy all put together, I plan to make a golem of myself. Of course it will have a set strength, probably a little more than what I have now in order to make sure it can protect itself.

Either way, it will act just as I would using ai of sorts, and I will have a magical connection so that I can see, hear, and sense everything that happens around it, and answer questions should it be necessary. At least this is the plan, how well it actually works out we will see. Also, you can use it in my stead as your heir. Also, when I leave it, you can treat it as your own child. It will need raising for a while. You could just say I am practicing in closed doors for a while. However, I will come back to this planet periodically so please do not make it do things that will remove my nobility." Yue lightly described his plan before leaving.

"For a moment I thought you planed on leaving the planet permanently. Phew. Anyways, that sounds great. I look forward to raising it. However would it not be like raising a computer that seems kind of weird." Zuzhang stated.

"Do not worry, it will have flesh, blood, organs, and even a soul of sorts. For all intents and purposes it will be a person. However it will have a copy of my memories, and what not in order to not make it turn against me or fail my plan." Yue eased his mind.

"So basically it will be an infant and grow as well? Would that not take a long time?"

"As I said, I have this all planned out. Also if anything unexpected happens, I will be connected to it. If I notice a problem, I will come back as soon as possible to fix it or make a new one." Yue replied.

"Sounds fun and interesting. Either way, I should get you back home. There is much for you to do. At least you have one less thing to worry about now. Taking over for me I mean. However at this rate, I would be amazed if you did not take over kings position." Zuzhang said.

"Hahah, alright. Anyway, I will tell you this, however keep it top secret, if you tell anyone you and I will both die. You should know, just so that you do not get any ideas about the king. He is much much stronger than me currently. However I will not go into detail, so do not ask." Yueliang said and noticed that Zuzhang looked like his heart dropped, not just from fear of an unimaginable strength, but because to hear about the king was a rare thing unless he was notifying the world of something at the time. All people really knew was that he commanded the troops fighting in the spatial war, and that he ruled over the world with extreme precision.

"Well time to go." Zuzhang said kind of dejectedly.
