Chapter 501: Plundering Another Sect's Graveyard...
After this day's activities, both of us dropped in the bed.
Benladann was tired this time and wasn't horny, so she kissed me a bit and then fell asleep rather quickly.
I quickly sneaked out of bed and moved to the Jade Snake's territory again.
Yukihime and Mikoto's ghost were following me around, while Rose was on my shadows.
"Drake you're finally going at it? Nice! Now let's get to it! You better steal that damn inheritance!" laughed Yukihime.
"It will be their greatest humiliation." Said Mikoto.
"You two really hate the Jade Snakes, what did they even do to you two aside form the conflicts?" I wondered.
"I would prefer not to talk about it..." sighed Yukihime.
"Me neither..." said Mikoto.
"A-Alright..." I sighed.
As I moved outside of Fuyu, she reprimanded me.
"Where are you going?!" she asked.
"Eh? I am going to... do a few things." I said.
"Quite suspicious... You're not meeting another woman, right? Benladann will be heartbroken if you do!" she said.
"What?! How cold I get with another woman? Ugh, you're really crazy." I sighed.
"I don't have to give you any explanations... But I will go plunder the Jade Snake's graveyard... Happy now?" I asked.
"Oh! So that's what you were going to do. Alright then." Said Fuyu.
Surprisingly she didn't even found it problematic.
I suppose that in between cheating on your wife or plundering a graveyard, the former is way worse.
I moved swiftly moved the snow, stepping over it carefully, and then jumped over the walls, sneaked into the sect, and found the graveyard.
I had already made the System analyze the entire place and register it as a mental map inside my head.
Yes, her Analyze was able to do that, I was going to do the same with the Dark Shadow Sect, scan it all, analyze it, and then save it all inside my head as a mental 3D map.
Pretty easy! Right?
Yeah.
Now, moving on to the important stuff...
I looked down into the graveyard.
<Mana Cores detected, they have indeed saved the corpses with their Mana Cores>
"Alright, Rose, do your thing." I said.
"Very well!"
Like the previous time, Rose was my pickpocket, she retrieved the Mana Cores without even moving the graveyards, she used her non-corporeal body to get inside the graves, pick the mana core, and store it inside her shadow.
After a few minutes, we were done.
And strangely enough... just like the winter lotus sect there was a large grave and monument for the grave of the ancestor of the jade snake sect.
It showed the hissing head of a snake.
However, this time around, there was no downstairs, and no secret room.
It appears there's no inheritance... Or maybe it was taken away already
Nonetheless, a shiny Rank 5 Mana Core was sitting right in the grave, so Rose retrieved it swiftly.
However...
"T-That bastard also became a ghost?!" asked Yukihime in shock.
"Here he is! That detestable man!" said Mikoto.
The single ghost of a man showed up.
It was purple-colored, and exuded a strong poisonous smoke around him, fused with his phantasmal presence. Is this a Poison Ghost? Never had seen one before...
There was also a mana core in the center of its soul, of Rank 4, so it was definitely a high-ranking ghost.
The face of a blue-skinned man showed up.
He was handsome and stoic, with a sharp fin, and strong, white-colored eyebrows.
His eyes shone with a sharp purple gaze.
His expression was very serious.
And he was wearing black and purple robes, his hair was long and made into a ponytail.
"You dare steal the Mana Cores of my family's grave, thief?!" he roared.
A powerful phantasmal presence began to come out of him, as poisonous smoke began to spread everywhere.
Any normal person would succumb to this deadly poison, but for me, it was only a slightly sweet air.
"There you are! You filthy snake of a man!" roared Yukihime.
"Huh?! Yukihime!" said the man in surprise.
"You're still a stubborn man..." sighed Mikoto.
"M-Mikoto? You two? What... you're also ghosts like me..." said the man.
"So what's his name?" I asked.
"His name is-" muttered Yukihime, as she was interrupted by the man's words.
"My name is Vasilisius Jade Snake!" said the man.
"What a strange name... l get it, that's why the rest of your family got weirder names, huh?" I asked.
"How dare you...! Give me back those mana cores! And how come you're still alive after facing my poison? I have slain entire armies with it." said the man.
"I am immune to poison... And if I inhale it, I simply gain even more resistance to it." I said.
"W-What?! This is utterly impossible... Nobody can be immune to poison!" he said.
"Well too bad because I am..." I said.
"T-This is not... Eh? How?!" he asked.
"Heh, your poison is not that great anyways! And you got killed too so you were clearly not invincible!" said Yukihime.
"S-Shut up your stupid woman!" roared Vasilisius.
"Eh? Who are you calling stupid woman? I lived longer than you!" said Yukihime.
"You only lived longer because you're a coward!" said Vasilisius.
"No, I lived longer because I am stronger than you!" said Yukihime.
"Grrr... Wanna try it then?!" roared Vasilisius.
"Let's throw hands, old man!" roared Yukihime.
"I am going to settle down this once and for all! This time I will win!" roared the man.
"It has been a while since you won! We are 520 to 503, I've won 17 times since the last time you won! Hahaha!" laughed Yukihime.
"That's because you kept cheating with your stupid skills!" said Vasilisius.
"You also use your stupid skills all the time! Just admit I am superior to you." Said Yukihime.
"I will never bow down to a woman!" said Vasilisius.
"You used to bow down to me all the time back then! You always said "Ah! Yukihime, you're more beautiful than the moon in a clear night...!" as you kissed my feet!" laughed Yukihime.
"D-Don't remind me of our horrendous past!" said Vasilisius.
"Hahaha!" laughed Yukihime.
"What the heck is going on?" I asked Mikoto.
"Well... In the past, the two of them used to be lovers." Said Mikoto.
"What?!"
