I quickly rejected her before Benladann, and Miranda were to gang on her and massacre her or something. I was actually concerned about her health and safety, and quickly cut her off without saying another words than those. I made myself clear I didn't wanted her as my bride several times too, so I hope she wouldn't pursue the situation.
"No, please, I reject with all my heart, wholeheartedly. And never pursue this situation if possible, or I will take it as an offense." I said, nodding.
"I…. Uhhh… O-okay…" she sighed, feeling utterly heart broken.
I felt horrible for a little bit, I had never thought I would find another woman that would easily throw herself at me… how much was the count by now? There was that Cassiopeia, then Belle, then Mikohime… three women! I am not even a year old… Damn, calm down, ladies, I am already taken.
"Yeah! I am his wife, and I would never let him have another woman!" said Benladann.
"Yeah…" said Miranda.
"Huh? Isn't Miranda another woman though?" asked Mikohime.
"Not exactly, she's another part of my own self," said Benladann.
"Your… own self?" asked Mikohime. There were clear question signs over all her face right now.
"I believe it's better to not tell them anything regarding this for now. We don't want them to know you two are like a person… but not really." I said through telepathy to the two girls, as they nodded.
"Anyways! Now that we got that out of the way, how about we all relax for a bit and loose the tensions? It has been a couple of events going on one after another, so I really need to relax. How about we have a feast while we talk things out?" I asked.
"O-Oh, sure! But we don't… have much to offer you, our food reserves are low, our population had shrink a lot… the production of food has been put in halt since the mortals died…" sighed Mikohime.
"See? This is why you don't kill your mortals like complete and utter imbeciles…" I sighed.
"I-I am sorry! I am such a useless woman!" cried Mikohime, kneeling before me again.
"W-We did commit a mistake in that…"
"We admit what we did is a big mistake, a sin we'll carry to our graves."
"…Indeed."
The Elders for the most part didn't seem so prideful for what happened, I am glad they got some common sense at the very least, although not too much judging by how three of them had tried to actually "silence" me by slaying me… if they had dared to attack me, I would had sliced them into little pieces before they could even realize what had happened to them. So they really just saved their lives from committing suicide.
"Well, I do have a lot of food on me, so let's quickly bring it here. I am starving. I will invite this feast for now." I said.
"Ooh! T-Thank you!" said Mikohime. Suddenly, I heard her stomach roaring in hunger, and everyone saw her.
She suddenly began to cry a little bit out of embarrassment. Despite the dignified look she had, she was very much quite childish… perhaps just overly shy deep down.
Although I am not interested in her romantically, I am rather interested in her in other things, such as her past, and her current abilities, alongside the origin of her appearance and the Winter Lotus Family genes, which seem to diverge from the common more barbaric-looking ice giant into a more compact and refined look.
I spent a few minutes going from Fuyu and back here, while bringing some other friends in the way, we brought a lot of prepared food from the restaurants in the Ice Moon Sect, a quick trip there using the Teleportation Gates was all we needed to bring a feast of prepared food from those restaurants. Such a nice and easy way to get quick food!
In the way we saw Lord Ice Moon in one of the restaurants enjoying some food. He seems to be doing quite fine, he's developing his Rank 3 Mana Core from a monster I implanted on him, and he was slowly getting back to Rank 4. He seems to be developing shadow and darkness magic now, but there's something strange to it, those with Monster Mana Cores develop what I would call a Monster Spirit, it is like a Beast Spirit but of that one monster, and it grows with the person too.
I had seen this evolve with not only him but the other Sect Elders… though we need to see how much it evolves before we can even begin doing it to other people. But what we had learned is that it doesn't work in those with their original Mana Cores.
This means that I cannot simply give one to Benladann and she can suddenly develop a Monster Spirit… Mana Cores can only be absorbed by the body if the main one is missing, which use the new one as the new implant… like implanting organs into someone, but it sometimes doesn't work and it kills the person. But well, thanks to healing magic that didn't happened here so it's all fine.
If I ever want one of these, I would have to take out my Ice/Wind Mana Core and put a Monster Mana Core inside… not recommended, but I bet someone else had done it, especially Immortals who got so many resources. Based in our research I can already tell that there could be many ways this could be used. There is also the possibility of just implanting a very high Ranked Mana Core inside of you and simply skip all the Ranks Up to that one… easily and while also developing the powerful magic this monster had.
Isn't that super great? But its apparently very hard and might kill you, so I guess not.
Anyways, as we began to feast inside the palace, the Elders and the Sect Master enjoyed the food from a sect they had never seen before nor heard about, it seems the Ice Moon sect was indeed a nobody's sect that no one knew about, losers.
