Life Drain System

Stunned the tiger asked. "You would do that?"

"Of course, my words are not empty you know. I want us to be together but if you want to leave that is your choice as well. I will not hold names or other things over you."

​​

"We will agree to that contract, so long as you name us and our child."

"Really, I would love to do that. However I do not think I can name the child until it is born but I will try." Yueliang said.

"Then please bestow names on us then, my king." The male tiger said as he bowed.

"I name you..." Yue said as he fell over and passed out.

---- A Few Hours Later At Sunrise ----

"Master you are finally awake, phew, I had to use 10 years of life to supplement the naming of such creatures. I am sorry, I should have warned you that you were still too weak. Fortunately I was still able to save you." Yang said.

"Well, I still have to name 6 ,000 Sky Orcs, and 24 Goblins later. I guess I really need to solve this quickly. Could you tell me what is the main insufficient stat is?" Yue asked, while thinking about the reward he wanted to give his subordinates.

"Well, that would mainly be soul, and if high enough you do not have to raise your cultivation as well. Although in order to get all your subordinates soul would have to hit 600, although if you do them one at a time, you do not have to worry as much. Next time I will warn you as well." Yang replied.

"Alright, so in order to reward everyone, I have to get to 600 on my soul stat. Either way, I look forward to seeing what these tigers become, also can you tell me did I end up getting to name them all? Speaking of which where are they?"

"Well, about their current location, I think they are out getting breakfast. Also I will help you remember. just give me a moment." Yang said as he played the memory back as a short film for Yueliang.

--- Beginning of Memory ---

Stunned the tiger asked. "You would do that?"

"Of course, my words are not empty you know. I want us to be together but if you want to leave that is your choice as well. I will not hold names or other things over you."

"We will agree to that contract, so long as you name us and our child."

"Really, I would love to do that. However I do not think I can name the child until it is born but I will try." Yueliang said.

"Then please bestow names on us then, my king." The male tiger said as he bowed.

"I name you..." Yue said as he passed out standing up barely standing.

"I name you Shen Hu. In my tongue it means divine tiger."

"I accept" Shen Hu said as he passed out and his body started changing.

"For the female tiger, Huoli."

"I accept my king." She said as she passed out as well.

"Last but not least the baby, Xiao Jiahuo." Yueliang said as he reached his hand over the baby in the tigers stomach.

--- End Of Memory ---

"I see, so that is how everything worked out. I am glad that I was able to name all three. Hopefully they are enjoying there upgrade so to speak."

"Considering how rare it is for one to be named, I am sure they are extremely happy." Yang responded.

'Oh look, here they come.' Yue thought to himself as they were walking towards him.

"Hello my king, I am Shen Hu." The male tiger said while bowing with the right front leg bent, and left front leg extended.

"Hello my king, I am Huoli. Thank you for naming our child." The female tiger said while bowing the same way.

"I am glad to see you both doing well. By the way, you look pretty much the same. Did the naming fail or change something else?" Yue asked curiously.

Shen Hu replied. "The naming, has made our vitality stronger, allowing us to become stronger than we are. Then it also gave us new abilities, one such being that we can now take on a human form, however we will maintain our animal ears and tail in that form."

"That seems pretty interesting. I just figured you would grow new limbs or turn into some thing else." Yue said intrigued and kind of jokingly.

"Please do not joke about such things. I am sure you are already aware, however I will tell you just in case. There are five legendary creatures, we will start from the last on the list to the top: Black warrior of the north (turtle with snake), then Azure dragon of the east, vermillion bird of the east (pheonix), white tiger of the west, and finally golden dragon at the center (king of dragons). Basically the vermilion bird follows and helps the king of dragons, the turtle and snake wander, the azure dragon is the protector, the white tiger is power, however the golden dragon is fortune and power. These are the roots of the most powerful creature, hence what we are aiming to become." Shen Hu responded calmly.

"I see, so is it true that the white tiger and golden dragon often fought for dominance?" Yue asked.

"Not quite, the white tiger they just had fights over how they should rule." Huoli replied.

"Well either way, shall we complete our deal my friends?"

"Alright, you certainly kept your end, so too shall we." Shen Hu replied then reached out his big and heavy paw towards Yu's hand to begin the contract of subordination.

Yueliang and Shen Hu held each others paw/ hand, waiting for Huoli to join as well. As soon as Huoli joined, the three began using mana to make a contract to bind them together as master and servants. After about 15 minutes they finished writing it all, and it manifested, surprising the tigers.

After dealing with their surprise, Shen Hu then asked. "What do you want us to do now?"

Yue just said a few sentences in reply. "Live happily, and if you want something to do, help out around here. Find something you like and enjoy it, in the end I am sure you will find someway or reason to help out. You do not have to change your life just because you joined me."

"Alright, we will look around and see what we can do." Huoli and Shen Hu replied.

"When you come back later, let me know how you would like your home designed. After that we can go out and have fun together my friends." Yue said excitedly.

"Sounds fun, looking forward to it my friend." Shen Hu said, then they turned and left.

Yueliang thought to himself while they were leaving. 'Status'

'This seems much better, and I can feel myself growing a lot. It seems 100 is a mile marker where you have a boost in stats. Well, in the mean time, oh right I have not yet stocked the stores. Yang I need you to fill up each of the stores, and create a pricing system so that I will not be wasting my life and points, but is still proper pricing. I really should start doing auctions later. I will speak to the king soon. Also, how many shops are there. Thank you so much.' Yueliang thought, then Yang replied.

"This is not too difficult so 150 ,000 shop coins, and everything will be taken care of, although 75,000 of that was for the registers and enchantments to keep people from being able to steal from us. Your welcome by the way. Also to answer your question there are 40 inns / taverns as they are connected buildings, 4 blacksmith shops, 4 alchemist shops, 10 grocery stores, 20 restaurants, 1 major auction house, 2 minor ones, 60 shops as vender locations in the bazaar area, however that has not yet been filled so 141 shops if you count the inns and taverns together or it would be 181 not counting the research facilities you designed for the Sky Orcs."

"Thank you for getting that done, I will now call the Orcs to start manning the businesses." Yue said aloud as he summoned 600 Sky Orcs.

"Good morning everyone, I apologize for waking you all, however the shops have now been filled. As I am sure you have noticed, you also now have beds, showers, and everything else, I hope you are enjoying them. Either way, I would like for you to split in half, and every other day you swap in taking care of the shops, so that you may rest, research, or have fun doing other things.

Sorry to place so much work on you, however the sooner we get everything we need, the sooner we can leave to explore the universe. Do not worry everything is priced all you have to do is scan it. Although the auction house will not be used yet, so just let anyone who comes know they can have a letter of credit, however in the mean time, we have to wait until the auction house is funded." Yueliang declared to them.

All the Sky Orcs smiled and got to work. They were please that he was so kind to them, and even gave them time to continue their research.

As Yue watched them leave, he started heading to where the king and his knights were to see them about some matters.
