Martial Red Dragon Emperor

Chapter 7 Decisions

In a deeper part of a forest. We see an old man that looks strangely similar to the man that helped Issei. The only difference was that the humble and powerless old man, he met, now gave out a more mysterious and powerful vibe that naturally came out of his body as if every part of it could crush the Iron Snake in an instant. But unlike the mysterious feeling, he gave out, his face was full of anxiety and worry as if death was looming closer to him.

"Might as well get it over with." Says the old man with a troubled expression.

Something unbelievable happens as the old man takes out a round stone tablet and soon sets it on the ground. The stone starts to spark and glow. Mystical symbols start appearing and a circle is formed into an array. Then a hologram materializes out of nowhere, something that shouldn't be possible with this world's primitive technology.

Immediately the appearance of a beautiful woman with obsidian long black hair and majestic white robes enters the screen.

"Your Majesty!" The old man says with a deep bow, doing his best to appear submissive.

"Old Tai." The beauty recognizes with elegance acknowledging the man's presence. "Did you complete what I have ordered you to do?"

Hearing her speak of the mission, she sent him on. Brought nothing but chills down his spine.

"Y-yes, I have completed it." Says the old man that is now known as Tai, with a nervous stutter.

"You sound nervous. I hope nothing unfortunate has transpired to what I have sent you to do. Because if it has, I will be very impolite." Says the beauty with a frown showing her displeasure at that very thought.

"No! Nothing terrible had happened to him. I assure you." Tai hurriedly clarifies trying his best to appease her. "I approached him and made sure he was being well taken care of. I even made it appear as if it was nothing but a random encounter. Giving him the choice to select one of the secret manuals that we have painstakingly collected throughout the years."

"That's good." Whispers the beauty starting to calm down and returning to her cold temperament. "Then what is the problem?"

"Unfortunately he gave me a very unusual request."

"What?" She says with surprise. 'What could he possibly want?'

"Yes, he asked if I had any manuals meant for women. At first, I didn't know what to do. But I recalled you instructing me that if he had any demands I should follow through."

"I see." The woman says. 'It must be for the three sisters.' She couldn't help but feel some jealousy at the thought. "Which cultivation manual did you provide him?"

"I gave him the Yin Flower Empress manual."

"It sounds familiar to me." She says trying to think of where she heard it.

"It's the manual that all maids within our sect cultivate." Old Tai says when realizing the confusion on his Empress. Making her suddenly remember where she heard of it.

"While it is garbage in my eyes. To that lower world, it should be considered an extremely powerful manual. The decision you made was fine, Tai."

"My Empress was this decision truly correct? While it is true. That doesn't change the fact that one of our manuals has been given to an outsider. If anyone within the sect were to find out than they will be most displeased."

"Since when have I ever cared for the opinions of others? Don't worry about them. If they ever show their displeasure towards any of my decisions, I will show them their place. Now was this the problem you were worried about?"
