The Married Life Of Immortals

Bane headed back out to the edge of the village where Harmony was waiting for him. She seemed calm, but the moment that she noticed Bane, he felt , for a brief moment, that she wanted him dead. This was her killing intent, but Bane just ignored it, and her, walking over to pick up the mammoth rock. Without waiting, Bane threw in in almost the same arc, dropping the stone with a loud thump where he had picked it up from.

Turning back, Bane nodded. "Rock is gone. Do you need me to make you a new house? You don't need much right, or does your little dimension thing have to be in a building of a certain size?"

Harmony frowned. "You are going to help me?"

"Do you have a plan otherwise? I would need you to stay in the inn for a day, but I can knock up a shed with a door tomorrow," Bane replied, and then looked back towards the village. "I would do it today, but I have to go see my soup pot about something."

'I heard that,' Mizuage replied in Bane's head, making Bane narrow his eyes, but he decided to ignore the dragon.

Harmony thought about this, but then let out a long sigh. "Bilgarth already gave me a new home. I just have to dig out the treasure I used from the rubble."

Bane nodded, but then looked at the smashed pile of wood the house had been reduced to. "Is your treasure indestructible?"

"Yes, why?" Harmony asked, and Bane turned to her.

"Can you light it on fire?" He asked, and she nodded, and raised a hand, a red spell circle forming.

A moment later, a jet of red fire shot forward, catching the wood on fire. Bane nodded, but then vanished, and then in the next instant, a massive whirlwind pushed her back. Bane was running circles around the house like a comic book hero he had remembered as a kid, the Red Blur, and within thirty seconds, the house had been reduced to a pile of ashes, with a massive pile of coals in the middle.

Harmony couldn't speak, and was just staring at the scene.

Bane dusted his hands off, and looked at the pile, and then back at Harmony.

"Now, you just have to let them cool, and you can easily get your treasure out. Also, no need to thank me, all in a day's work," Bane said, and then vanished, leaving Harmony standing there, looking around as if she had seen a ghost.

Bane showed up outside Bai Xiao Meng's residence, and then looked up, seeing Mizuage on the roof.

"Soup pot, what are you doing up there?" Bane called out, and Mizuage snorted.

"Looking for you!" He said, and then hopped down to land beside me. "Your speed is unbelievable, and yet I don't see any dust or big gusts of wind?"

Bane nodded. "This shit get's wild when you go too fast, but I chop the air in front of me, and keep a vacuum behind me, so I don't make a windstorm. Now, why were you looking for me, and not using your mental thing to call me?"

"It is time for your body to be tempered!" Mizuage smiled, but Bane felt like he wasn't going to like this.

"Okay, can't be worse than curse's," Bane said as he was led inside. "Where is Master Bai?"

"In seclusion. He is trying to break into the Cosmic Realm, so you might not see him before you leave again, depending how long it takes for him to have a breakthrough from the Spirit Realm," Mizuage explained as he led Bane to the back, where a familiar face greeted him.

"Brother Bane! You have grown so much!" Wei Nam Lee said as he came over to grab both Bane's hands to shake them.

Bane laughed, looking around the room. "And it looks like you two have been busy, Brother Wei."

All around the room were herbs, and pills, but not tens of them, hundreds. Any cultivator who saw the room would drool, and want to raid the place, but Bane didn't care about any of it.

"Yes, we have been busy. Now, are you ready to become stronger?" Wei Nam Lee asked, and Bane started to strip in response.

Once he was finished, he pointed at the tall white haired elf. "Soup pot, transform!"

Mizuage rolled his eyes, and pointed a fancy cauldron in the corner that looked like it was made out of crystal. It was a deep purple color, and had a large golden dragon painted on the lid.

"This is my personal cauldron. It is better that the one I am sealed in," Mizuage said, and Bane shook his head.

"See? And this is why you will always be a soup pot. As if you didn't get put in the better one," Bane chuckled, but then let out a yelp when he tried to get into the water, not realizing it was boiling. "Hey, asshole one and two. What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to make me stronger, or just cook me into a soup?"

Mizuage gave Bane a sideways look. "I think that would be a splendid idea, but stop being a baby and just get in. Your body is more than capable of resisting this level of heat."

Bane wanted to argue, but just got into the cauldron. It burned him for only an instant before his body got used to it, and he let out a sigh as the hot water started to soothe his body.

"Now, take this."

Mizuage took a pill from Wei Nam Lee, and shoved it in Bane's mouth.

Bane frowned, and attempted to bite the pill that was just smaller than an egg, filling his mouth. The next moment, Mizuage slapped him, making Bane glare at him.

"Don't bite the damned thing, you idiot! Swallow it!" Mizuage snapped, but then had to catch the slobber covered pill as Bane spit it out at him.

"You think I can swallow that damn golf ball? Do I look like a porn star to you?!" Bane snapped back, but Mizuage shoved the pill back in, and then used spiritual energy to force it into Bane's throat.

"Now, stay quiet, and just relax," Mizuage grumbled, but then turned to Wei Nam Lee, who smiled a bit weirdly as Bane forced the pill down.

"This is a body tempering pill. We are going to start with this, and then slowly work you up until you can take the highest quality pills. It will probably be fine for you to start, but you will feel some pain. Depending on your tolerance and absorption rate, we will continue to feed you pills and put treasures into the cauldron until you can take no more. Sorry, kind of," Wei Nam Lee said, but he now had a slight fervor in his eyes.

Bane looked at the elf and then the human he called a brother, and sighed. "Whatever. Just do it."

Wei Nam Lee and Mizuage nodded, both of them grinning from ear to ear.

"Then here we go," they both said, and then started dumping stuff into the cauldron, making Bane's skin prickle, and start to burn.

He wanted to scream, but kept his mouth shut. This felt like it was going to take awhile, and he was not going to like it, but that was Par for the course when it came to Bane's life.
