Blood Summoner: Rise of Weaponmancer

Chapter 9 Elder Rice Ball

Liam, Emerald and Xavier sat down to eat in the dining table for the first time in their life, it was a lovely moment.

The food on the dining table was straight out of the kitchen, the hotness came out alongside the enticing aroma.

Nevertheless, the trio didn't start eating immediately, instead they started conversing happily, their main concern revolves around his whereabout for the three days he was missing.

Liam did not tell Emerald about the emergence of a bloodline soul and every other thing that has been going on during those days that he was missing.

He crafted a simple believable lie that he was asleep all through the time, making Emerald and Xavier wonder if the dude found himself in a place where the cherry blossoms was so calming that he fell asleep for so long.

"Alright my little sunshine, I'm sure you must be very hungry. let's eat."

Liam nodded before grabbing the chopsticks, nevertheless the moment he was about to take in a little portion of rice porridge sharp pain invaded his head once more causing his hands to love strength and the chopsticks fell on the ground.

Then Liam grabbed his head, he was feeling the same aching pain once more.

"Liam."

"Little brother!"

Xavier and Emerald noticed this immediately, they rushed to meet him and support him from losing consciousness.

But at the same time Liam noticed the system window upfront, it was blood red this time indicating danger.

[Warning: Lethal substance has been detected from the food host's about to take in]

And at the same time, he heard the voice of his bloodline soul.

["Are you so dumb or something. you can't even notice that your food is poisoned with such lethal poison"]

'What.. poisoned.' Liam mind was a mess after that.

He could feel his hands being pulled by someone, he guess that the pain he felt was visible to his family and they have quickly came to his head.

He felt touch, then he decided to make Emerald and Xavier feel touched as well.

"Mom, big brother Xavier, the food. it's poisoned."

This was the first time he have called Xavier big brother and the first time he have also called Emerald mom, that was his reward but his words contained a bigger reward.

"Little sunshine, are you alright, should mama feed you?"

"Little brother, you must be seeing things."

They initially did not believe.

"I'm saying the truth, the food is really poisoned."

Liam said one more time, his baby voice was even more serious than ever this time.

Emerald tried her best to believe him and finally believed him, although she was shocked she did not say it out.

"Peterson!"

"Yes my lady."

From the entrance came a guard dressed in complete steel armor, a sword was also attached to his back.

He bowed when he came in.

"Get the family food consultant, tell him to come immediately!"

"Yes ma'am"

Peterson sprinted out of the room, ten minutes later he returned with an middle-aged man who was nicknamed Elder Rice Ball because of his large body build.

Elder Rice Ball had a lens on one of his eyes, if it wasn't for his robe and his body build one would have mistook him for a pirate or a treasure thief.

Elder Rice Ball rushed in with large stride to the table, after greeting them, he bent down and held the lens in his eyes as though he was checking out for something.

After that he brought out a test tube containing a fluid from his pocket, he then picked a stalk of rice and grinded it on a small clean white plastic plate that was always with him.

Immediately the liquid mixed with the grinded rice, it turned golden yellow and yellowish gas was released, with it came a cold yin energy that spread across the room in just few seconds that it got released into the air.

Elder Rice Ball eyes furrowed in shock and he began walking backward at that instance as though he was afraid before letting his shock out.

"Lady Emerald... this is a very strong cold yin poison... I couldn't even detect it at first glance until I carried out the most proficient experiment on it... how were you able to find out?" Elder Rice Ball robust self asked in utter astonishment.

"My heart didn't carry this meal so I had to call for you, it's nothing but my instinct."

She knows that it would be very unwise to let strangers know of who really discovered it so she covered up herself.

She politely asked the foreigners to leave before questioning Liam, Liam didn't give the true answer and instead he told them that it was just mere guess.

"Don't worry, sunshine, I'll personally prepare your meal from now on, I won't let anyone to hurt you in the future."

Emerald left the room to prepare dinner for all of them, at the mean time Liam was alone with his Xavier.

To prevent him from asking unnecessary inquiries; Liam began to bombard him with questions concerning cultivation which Xavier happy explained thinking that Liam only asked it for fun.

In the meantime, Emerald returned with her personally prepared meal and it was far more delicious.

Liam really enjoyed himself before going to bed, he used to live in a small room nearby but because of the insecurity he now has to live in the same room as Xavier while Emerald tried her best to stay awake all through the night to watch him sleep while Xavier regularly tried to increase his essence cultivation to 1st level human realm.

But she fell asleep just few hours before the sun rise.

Liam's eyes abruptly opened, his blue eyes was calm while his red eyes seems to release a tad bit of killing intent.

The other parties in the room were so hooked up with something thus giving him a perfect time to sneak out to take care of some personal business.
