Chapter 180: Chapter 180 - Contacting a loved one

Eric slightly trembled sitting in his spot. ’I changed my mind. This fucking mirror is, freaky ah! I don’t want it anywhere close.’ he was contemplating telling this monk all about it.

When all of a sudden, the monk let out a loud growl. "Jung!!! You are not concentrating!" he raged at him and lifted him up by his collar.

’What the heck? Dude, why is he carrying me like a stray puppy.’ He struggled a bit. "master.. I was only hungry.. I’m so sorry. Please don’t punish me," he whispered softly in fear he might toss him into that ice room.

The monk ruthlessly carried him over to the ice room and tossed him in there.

As the name suggests the room was covered in ice. The moment his body hit the icy ground; his skin starts to slightly freeze over. Trembling, he looked up at him in shock. "Master...."

"Cultivate here. see if you can get distracted. You only have a limited number of days you think you have to take to be distracted! You have to reach level three of cultivation in five days. Until then stay here!!!" shouted the man slamming the door shut from outside.

Eric shivered to hug himself. ’I know I wanted a change of room but not like this..... and I fucking have the mirror with me... shit’ he picked up the mirror shard from his clothes and tossed it t a corner.

The icy air permeated his body, making him tremble like a weak leaf.

"What the fuck is wrong with him, huh? Why is he being so mean? I was only distracted for a day and he tossed me in here. I wonder why the original owner even idolized him. That monk is a monster," he shivered violently.

He did his best to keep his body warm.

But when squatting and hugging himself did not work, he retorted to cultivation as the monk had suggested.

When he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, the icy needle-like force invades his body cutting through his nerves and freezing his blood. For a moment he was not able to breathe properly. His heart started to beat violently in order to keep the blood circulating in his body.

’cultivation is only making it worse.. fuck I feel my body tearing inside...’

He was in excruciating pain. When he tried to stop the cultivation, it became much worse. his body started to freeze over like a statue.

He had no other go but to continue his cultivation through all the pain and cold.

Little by little the pain receded leaving behind a small warmth in those spots. The cultivation started to warm his body up slightly.

’it’s working..... at least I won’t freeze to death...’

Without a break, he continued to cultivate.

Eric cultivated for what seemed like an eternity. In that closed-off room, he was not able to know how long had passed. At most a day must have gone by with his continuous cultivation.

He did not stop because if he did the ice started to grow on him making him into a living statue.

In order to survive he had to cultivate like a fanatic.

After what seemed like an eternity, the door to the ice prison opened.

The monk walked in and pulled him up by his wrist. As usual, he checked the level of his cultivation the first thing when he touched him. As soon as he did, a bright smile bloomed on his face. "you are on the verge of breaking through. Good, good. Stay in here for a few more days then you will be able to achieve your goals." He excitedly patted the top of his head.

Eric’s hair had already gone frigid and stiff. They felt like dried straw to touch after being frozen for so long. Even though cultivation kept his body warm, it was not able to keep his hair from freezing over.

The monk mumbled something to himself and walked out of there.

Eric did not sit still. He hurriedly garbed the end of his robe. "m-m.. master... I’m so scolded... I feel like I’m dying," he trembled violently as a show of weakness.

The monk froze. "I checked your pulse. It doesn’t seem bad. Why are you exaggerating,"

"I... I’m hungry...." He gritted his teeth loudly.

To be honest he was not hungry. Cultivation in that ice room weirdly kept him full. But he did not wish to stay in there another moment without sleep or food. Plus, he had grand plans to escape this place. He couldn’t move or go anywhere when he is locked up in a place.

"Please..... I don’t like it here," he tremblingly stood up. "It was an honest mistake, last time master. I won’t let that happen. Don’t make me be in there. I hate it," he whispered tugging at his clothes once again.

He slowly blinked his wide eyes up at him. In fact, he blinked a bit, bringing a small sliver of water into his eyes. This gave him a much more pitying appearance.

The monk seemed to contemplate something. "Fine I’ll excuse you this time. The next time you are distracted while cultivating you might have to stay in there a month."

"I’ll never repeat my mistake, master." He assured him hurriedly. "I promise you,"

"Good boy. Go and freshen up. ill prepare your food,"

Eric hurriedly ran to the garden area where the well was.

For a few days now, the monk had not been allowing him to take a bath. At last, he got a chance. He sat on the cornerstone and started to draw pails of water out. He poured it all over his head, melting the ice shards that had formed in his hair.

The ice was quite stubborn. it didn’t melt that easily.

he had to wash it with ten pails to finally get rid of his frozen head.

By the end of this, his soft black hair had turned into a hay-like material. He genuinely hated it.

"Maybe I should just shave it all off and grow it again. It’s better than dealing with mats and tangles,"

But his useless master did not let him out. In fact, he was not even aware of what the world looked like outside these four walls.

’I feel like a trapped princess. The ugly monster is holding me hostage. Where will my hero in shining armor come to my rescue?"

As soon as he thought of this, he could only remember Aaron’s shiny white blind hair and shimmering blue eyes. He could still remember his lover’s smile as he looked down at him lovingly.

Tears started to drip down his wet face. He hurriedly washed his face again. "its nothing worth sad over. I just have to finish all these tasks and go back to him. he will definitely be waiting for me. If not, I will steal him back from whomever he moves on with," he said with resolution.

The fear that Aaron might have moved on still lived in his heart. It brought a vague sense of helplessness in him. He really wanted to see his lover and hug him once.

just once.

"System is there any way to contact Aaron from here? I want to see him. I want him....."

{’there is a way called astral projection. You can chat through your dreams.’}

"Shit. Are you for real? I want that! I want to talk to him now!" he hurriedly sat up and ran over to his room.

The wet clothes left a huge wet trail behind him but he didn’t bother.

He only wanted to talk to Aaron in the privacy of his room. He wanted to so badly see his face again.

He shut the door and hurriedly removed the wet clothes off his body.

The original owner only had one pair of clothes in the room. He did not even have a spare bed sheet or towel in this place.

So, with no other option Eric hugged the bed sheet all around his wet body ad laid down on the tatami mat. "I’m asleep. Take me to him."

{’that would cost you 15 coins’}

Eric’s heart was chilled. ’This lunatic! You are fucking mean! Why would you entice another person like that? Fuck take that twenty and let me see my Aaron! Take me to him!’

{’15 coins have been deducted.’}

"Wait what is my coin balance?" he whispered before closing his eyes.

{’host has a coin balance of 426’}

"Where on earth did I get that many coins?"

The last he remembered he only had a coin balance of twenty or something. He had been spending coins indiscriminately for a while now.

{’reward for completing an ’E class’ world and making it into an Independent entity.’}

Eric sat up. "Wait a minute. Last time you gave me two choices. Either to choose between five hundred coins or to stay behind. You gave me both those rewards?"

{’yes. On was for completing the final task. The other was for completing the E-level world.’}

"Sweet, don’t waste time. Connect me to my lover. I’ll need to give him an erotic dream so that he can remember me for a long time," he giggled mischievously.
