Weapon seller in the world of magic

He climbed the staircase and entered the house, revealing a cozy living area attached to a small kitchen and two bedrooms with minimum furniture.

"Bah Bah…"

A pleasing voice entered Mark's ears as soon as he put away his footwear. As his head turned aside, his eyes fell upon a baby crawling toward him with a wide smile on his face. "Bah bah…" Read exclusive chapters at m_v-l'-NovelBin.net

Mark's face instantly bloomed into happiness as he crouched with his arms stretched forward, "Shan Shan." As the two-month-old baby, who was supposed to be still in a crib, crawling as fast as a spider, a voice came from the kitchen with a commanding tone, "What do you think you are doing, Markie?" It was quite chilling in Mark's ears; he was frozen on the spot. "Lu Shan, come here now." The baby was frozen in his footsteps and quickly turned around, crawling back to the kitchen at the same pace as earlier.

Soon, Song Yue came out with a paddle in one hand while carrying the baby through her other arm; her face looked serious as she looked at her husband, "You stink with blood, gun power, fish, and other unpleasant things. Do you want Shan Shan to get sick or something? Go and fresh up first." Once she said what she wanted to, she turned around and returned to the kitchen.

"Um…" Mark was slightly disappointed by her behavior but he hung down his head and let out a sigh, going straight into the bathroom for the shower.

Once he freshened up and went to the kitchen, he saw she was busy cooking with the baby sitting on the floor and playing with the toys.

"Bah Bah…" Lu Shan's eyes lit up once again and rushed one more time. This time, Song Yue didn't react and let Mark pick him up and carry him in his arms, taking him back to the living room and started playing with him.

Song Yue stood there before the gas stove and increased her grip on the wooden paddle so that it almost snapped it into two. "This man doesn't even give atten…"

About ten minutes later, Mark slowly carried little Lu Shan into the bedroom and carefully placed him in the cradle, making sure not to wake him up. The rank-10 robot was given the task of gently swinging the cradle.

Mark then slowly stepped outside the bedroom and walked into the kitchen, where Song Yue was seen using a broken paddle to stir the soup. He hastened his footsteps and suddenly hugged her behind, "Schatz…"

"Ah…" She blushed a little bit but swatted his arms on her waist, clicking her tongue in expressing her displeasure outwardly; although, her heartbeat rose a little bit from happiness, "Don't touch me."

Mark slightly loosed his arms and said, "C'mon, you are still angry?"

"Do you expect me to be jumping in joy?" She snapped at him. "It wasn't enough that you imprisoned us here in the name of protection and now you have gone for 36 hours straight."

"Uhh… well, honestly, I lost track of time yesterday. But, I won't give you any excuses that will turn your mood worse. How about something positive instead? Want to hear some good news?"

"What is it? Your wedding date is finalized?" Song Yue asked in a sarcastic tone.

"Well, yes, but that's not the good news part that I'm going to tell you."

"Then?"

"My work is almost done here. We will leave by tomorrow noon"

"Really?" Song Yue abruptly turned around to find Mark's face just an inch away from her. As their eyes met each other, her face turned beet red and she hurriedly looked away, "So soon? I mean you said it will take atleast another week or two."

"You are the one who was angry with me for the past week, blackmailing me to return you back home or else you won't even let me touch you. I had to take shortcuts and worked nonstop for 36 hours without any sleep, at the factory," Mark shrugged his shoulder before tightening his grip over her waist to pull her closer to him and whispered, "I think I deserve a reward, don't you think?"

"Not… not now. I need to cook," Song Yue tried to turn around, but this time, Mark's grip was tight and didn't let her go, leaning his face forward and playfully pinched her lips, "the soup won't get bad if it cooks for another half an hour unsupervised. So, I was wondering… should we give a sibling to Shan Shan…"

"No… no way, I'm letting you. He's already troublesome enough to deal with," While Song Yue firmly refused to get pregnant once again, Mark didn't react much and just whispered, "Not a problem, I'll pull it out in time."

"You… sh… shameless…" Song Yue's embarrassment increased because of the dirty talk from her husband, "The sun has just gone down and I..." She tried to stop him but couldn't stop herself as Mark went on kissing her neck and caressing her body. Perhaps, due to the significant gap, she only got more aroused as time slowly ticked by.

Within no time, both of them were naked in the other bedroom, enjoying their time on the mattress. But, the moment didn't last for even ten minutes as they were interrupted by the baby's cries. Song Yue hurriedly dressed up and went to the master bedroom to handle Lu Shan's crying while Mark banged his head against the mattress with a defeated expression with an imaginary chibi inside his head that was having animated tears, "Ugh… After six weeks, we got an opportunity again and that was gone in a poof… No matter, she was no longer angry at me and I should be content with it, for now. I'm tired. Let's take some rest."

The next day morning, at Fujian Island;

Outside of the facility, the four holy beasts, almost in a collapsed state and struggling to get up; all were enveloped by a layer of their respective attribute energies but their eyes seemed blank as if they were in a state of trance.

Mark patiently waited in the sky, staring down at them, as 500 times the gravity mercilessly pulled down his contracted beasts.

It lasted for three hours until a beam of light erupted from the dragon's head, shooting to the heavens as it let out a powerful roar.

*Ding! Qing Long has reached Rank-10, Master.

A notification arrived to Mark, bringing a smile to his face, "Good."

The Azure Dragon came back to its senses as it stood straight against gravity and stretched its wings. It tried to fly but couldn't at the moment. Hence, it stared at its master and then spared a glance at its siblings in trance.

Not long after the notification, similar scenes occurred one after another.

*Roar*

*Ding! Bai Hu has reached Rank-10, Master.

*Screech*

*Ding! Zhu Que has reached Rank-10, Master.

*Rustle*

*Ding! Xuan Wu has reached Rank-10, Master.

As the last one also made its breakthrough, Mark finally removed the Gravity Dome and slowly descended to the island.

A blinding flash of light enveloped each of them, transforming into humanoid forms at the same time. However, except for one, none even looked remotely like a human as Zheng used to be.

The Azure Dragon, Qing Long, transformed into a little boy with bluish scales covering his entire body, except for his face, and he had long green hair that was touching the ground. He also had dragon wings on his back.

The White Tiger, Bai Hu, also transformed into a little boy with pale white skin and messy white hair with black streaks, whiskers protruding from his cheeks, ears resembling a cat, and a tail growing from the back.

The Black Tortoise's appearance was even weirder. Its humanoid body had the scales of a serpent while its face looked like a mixture of a male and a female. If seen from the left side, its face will look like a little girl. But, if seen from the right side, one would think it is a little boy.

The Vermilion Bird, Zhu Que, on the other hand, transformed into a little girl with long scarlet hair, although with feathery wings in the back.

Mark threw sets of robes and tunics for them to cover up themselves. He prepared it beforehand, knowing that they would have kid forms when they transformed. How did he know about it? Well, he experienced it with the golden kitten, he had the Zheng, and a beast-taming book that his sister gave him on his engagement ceremony, back then.

The rest of the three obeyed it while feeling uncomfortable in clothes, but the Azure Dragon protested while looking at them in his hands, "Master, what about my wings? I can't retract them back into my body, like Sister Zhu Que. I want custom-made."

"Tch, just make holes in the back and fit them," Mark clicked his tongue, making an ugly expression of annoyance. The Azure Dragon was always a rebellious kid, complaining when he stayed at the island in isolation, complaining when he was forced to hunt down the wild flying beasts in the sky at 10km altitude, resisting his best when it was operated on, and complaining about its freedom of thought when the A.I. took over its conscious for a forced breakthrough, etc…
