Although Feicui Long has completed the house, he ends up using almost 10 sacks, as he builds a house with three stories and a guest house connected to the main house.
Also, he has only completed the most important part, the structure, but there are still small details to be finished, such as the doors, windows and other things, like finishing the bathroom.
Feicui Long is really thankful to Isabella and her party members, as well as to the fact that he possesses the skill - golem and puppet creation.
Because golems played a crucial role, they are tireless workers and don't need to eat, making them ideal for this type of work.
This skill was vital, since realistically, you can't build a house that big in one day, with only nine people, even in the Ascendant Realm, let alone with nine people in the elemental realm and two or three golems, even if they are tireless. This skill, at Elemental Realm Grade 1, allows you to create 75 Earth Golems. And no, this is not because has Feicui Long the Sovereign Quartet, although that does allow him to create 25 more than the usual, bringing the total to 100 Earth Golems.
Of course, the stronger the golems you create, the fewer you can make. For example, Rock Golems, he can only create ten and they consume 30 slots of this amount, since Rock golems are three times stronger than a normal earth golem.
Another example is his Wood Golems, which are a little weaker than the Rock ones, but a little stronger than Earth ones, their main advantage is that their regeneration skill is stronger than that of other golems, thanks to the Wood Elemental Energy. However, this also means that the ten wood golems he has created consume 20 slots.
The other 50 slots are filled with Earth Golems, as they are cheaper to create. Technically, you can exceed this limit, but only by making a contract with them, awakening their spirit, mind and soul or giving them a personalized core, these last two methods are not really easy thing to do or accomplish.
Contracted golems have another limitation, which is each contract adds weight and pressure into your soul, so it is a risky one, since this counts all slave, servant and familia contracts. Of course, each skill has its own limits in these types of contracts.
So, thanks to these 70 golems, he was able to build a large house in one day, the only problem is he can't use them to complete the finer details.
This is why he is now working on improvising a woodworking station. Fortunately, he has the tools he bought in Vienna to craft the furniture for his first house, as well as the necessary knowledge. Although he has only three years of experience, and while his work can't compare to that of a master of this job, in this moment he just needs functional pieces that aren't too ugly.
...
In the middle of the day, Feicui Long stopped working on the house, but he managed to make the doors on time. Now, he is going to hunting.
Why? Because he needs a little more blood from an energy being, the same one he has been using for the inscriptions in his house, the doors and the aura-projecting formation. Now he needs more, not just for inscriptions, but also to make medicine and more Fragmented Formations, since he doesn't want Isabella's party hearing his "fights" with her.
On this hunt, he isn't going alone, as Isabella is coming with him. At first he didn't want to take her along, but Isabella insisted and almost cried, he couldn't resist her...
In the distance, he spots another quartz deer. His eyes light up, because he has only killed two so far, the one with Melina and the one they eat yesterday.
But he doesn't want to kill it just for its flesh or blood, he also wants the quartz core, the antlers, and the beautiful skin. Since this type of deer is the kind of deer where even the females have antlers, these materials are very useful to him, not now but in a future, they can be used for many things.
Feicui Long and Isabella slowly approach the deer, waiting for the perfect moment to use the energy rifle, then he shoots his energy.
The deer drops dead, he runs to retrieve the body with a smile on his face.
At that moment, he senses dangers and manages to dodge an attack, but the warning from his instincts doesn't disappear.
He keeps dodging several attacks in a row, until one almost hit, forcing him to block with his halberd. The impact numbs his arms, but thanks to this, he finally sees the attacker, it is a Flame Wolf. He recognizes it because its fur resembles a flame.
He pushes the wolf and kicks it in the stomach, sending it flying, then he starts running, because unlike the Ember Wolf, a Flame Wolf, automatically reaches the Elemental Realm Grade 5 upon adulthood. Fortunately, it's not a Fire Wolf, otherwise, he'd be dead, since fire wolves reach the elemental realm grade 9 upon adulthood.
He grabs Isabella bu the arm, there's no time to lose. Like other wolves, the Flame Wolves live in packs, so normally there's never going to be only a wolf. Isabella knows this and follows him. They keep running, but the flame wolves have the same hunting tactics as a mortal wolf.
They hunt by exhausting their prey, so they won't stop either. But Feicui Long is not stupid, he throws various talismans he prepared in his free time. Since talisman are one of the five inscriptions, he likes making them.
The talisman he throws are very different from each other, some are for attacks, while others have control effects like slowing or trapping.
But this only delays a few wolves, many of the wolves keep chasing them, and a few even manage to reach them.
Feicui Long shoots his energy rifle, but that's only hurts them a little bit.
Seeing this, Isabella decides to take out her sword from the mark in her arm. Then a sword that slightly resembles a bastard sword appears. The sword has a handle featuring a female lion's head with its maw open, and a platinum blade emerges from the middle of the maw, the sword's guard is shaped like two lions sleeping.
After that, Isabella starts preparing an attack: "I'm the one who rules across the skies. With these wings, I fly. With these wings, I fight, unleashing a storm to destroy my enemies, SKY LION'S GALE!"
Once she finishes speaking, her sword becomes shrouded in strong winds. Next she launches an attack on the wolves, this sent a few wolves flying and killing a few more.
That's when a larger Flame Wolf reaches them. The wolf quickly opens its maw and launches a stream of flames. Seeing this, Feicui Long grabs Isabella and pushes her into a bush while simultaneously stomping the ground raising a stone wall and even forming a shield of water.
But the attack is too powerful, making this defense against the wolf. It is clearly one of the strongest in the pack, as it is in the Elemental Realm Grade 7.
Feicui Long manages to bend over, watching as the stream of flames is rages above him.
Isabella grabs him from behind and pulls him into the bush, and both continue running. But the big wolf doesn't want to give up on its prey. On certain point the wolves almost surround them.
At this moment, Feicui Long decides to leave Isabella in a safe place. With determination, he throws the Fragmented Formation below a tree, and quickly he forms a small circle. Then, to Isabella's surprise, he carries her and throws her inside. She hits the ground, but now she is safe because the formation can protect even against an elemental realm grade 9 or even a mystic realm grade 1 or 3.
This makes Feicui Long lose impulse, causing one of the wolves to scratch his right side with its claw, leaving a bleeding wound. But this pain is nothing to him, he continues running and even casts the Light Feet Spell, twice.
Finally, He loses all of the wolves… or so he thinks, because a big wolf appears in front of him. It is the same one from before. Feicui Long smiles and frees Surinbit. The wolf then begins approaching with suspiciously
Surinbit, relaxed, starts to attack. First, she uses water elemental attacks, forming streams of water capable of destroying trees. The wolf evades all attacks, but he notices how powerful these attacks are, one can kill it.
Surinbit is a little annoyed, launches more attacks, this time combining water attacks with ice ones, the wolf focuses only on dodging, Feicui Long gives an order: "Surinbit, you need to immobilize it, this guy is buying time for its pack to arrive!"
Knowing this, Surinbit begins using the earth element and wood element, roots start emerging from the ground chasing the wolf, the trembling ground makes it hard to dodge easily.
Feicui Long then throws a talisman, which hits the wolf's leg, making it trip, then the roots succesfully to trap it.
Feicui Long almost feels the urge to celebrate, but he can't. He quickly starts casting a spell: "I'm the one who sits above all, nobody can pronounce a word unless I allow them, SILENCE!"
This prevents the flame wolf from making any sound, preventing the howl it tries to make.
Feicui Long nods to Surinbit, and she kills it with a water elemental attack. Then, Feicui Long slowly and carefully makes his way back. On the way to Isabella, almost every wolf was chasing him. Only a few stay surrounding Isabella, which means, with the highest probability, all of them are dead, whether by Isabella or by the formation.
...
Finally, Feicui Long can see Isabella, thanks to Kagetsume. She is surrounded by dead bodies of wolves, when she sees him, starts running to hug him, almost crying.
Angered and worried, she starts punching him lightly while hugging him. He doesn't understand why Isabella has such strong feelings for him, she has only known him for less than a month.
To him, it's strange if someone you are only attracted to dies, it shouldn't make you so sad. It's different for example, with Reiko, who loves him, and they are partners. It's not like he doesn't feel something for Isabella, he surely does, but he thinks is not that deep of feeling. Perhaps he is being bad at love again...
Love is complicated, he thinks.
But anyway, he is glad that Isabella is okay. He grabs her face and kisses her, calming her a little bit, and says jokingly: "With all of these bodies, I think we have enough for today's hunting session."
Isabella can't avoid it but smile, this stupid guy...
Then, both start picking the bodies and put them in spatial bags, then on the way home, they pick the ones Isabella killed with her Sky Lion's Gale.
That night Isabella "retaliates" against Feicui Long in their room.
...
The next day, Feicui Long is a little tired from his "fights" throughout th night with Isabella, but he continues to work in the house. This time, he chooses to make something for his bedroom, which, by the way, is the biggest room in the house, if you don't count the living room, of course.
The reason behind this is that he has another wife, Reiko and at some point, she is going to live with him. Although he doesn't know how say this to Isabella. And not, he is not going to leave Reiko. To begin with, Reiko actually came first into his life. It was Isabella who rape him, although it was because she was influenced by his yang energy...
He shakes his head to clear his mind. It doesn't matter which life it is for him, whether in his past lives or this one, love is the most difficult task, It is always the same for him, his master was right, he need to learn what is love...
