Anyway, while I’m sure you’re interested in more of Lioness’ crazy weapons testing, I think we should get to the part you’ve really been waiting for… I’m pregnant.

My lusty days and hardworking nights continued like that for a whole month without anything too weird happening. It really made me understand that practically all my neighbors were well… hermits.

Honestly, I didn’t feel much of anything, aside from maybe disgust once the piggy was actually dead. There’s a big difference to me between a living and dead creature, even if it’s a human. When something is alive, I can ‘feel’ that it’s a living creature and often has emotions or at least thoughts. Probably due to my power or maybe just my imagination.

“No… I’ll help you.”

Pigs are really smart and empathetic. They’re supposedly even more emotional and intelligent than dogs. And I had never even intentionally killed a fucking fish before. Honestly, I didn’t want to kill the poor bastard. But he was already dying no matter what. It was much quicker and less painful to have a bullet in your head or your throat slit than to slowly rot away from an infection or get torn apart and toyed with by a pack of wolves or other predators.

“Fucking A, can you not jerk your head around so much?!” When I complained out loud, I noticed that she suddenly stopped moving and crouched down. It seemed like she was trying to hear something, but then sighed and shook her head, before continuing onwards.

“Actually, this makes a lot more sense now that I think about it more rationally.” 

“If you just want to play around with some real swords or spears or whatever else, just use ballistics gel blocks or dummies. We could also hunt a wild boar, kill it and then test weapons on the carcass but that will be a lot more work.”

“I’ll be honest with you Ana. Aside from maybe spears, most melee weapons aren’t very useful for hunting.” Chameleon sighed as she brought me to the armory/closet, “Swords and most other common weapons were created for humans to kill other humans. Hmm, as you can see from the paintings, the old ‘Ana’ used to wield all sorts of weapons against various creatures on the island. But that was more for her own enjoyment than any sort of efficiency. She liked to read fantasy novels and watch movies all the time when she was growing up, just like most people…”

I looked at her like she was an idiot for a few seconds, before snickering and shaking my head: “It ain’t a fucking Heart Devil or Qi Deviation! For shit’s sake, we literally spent a single day practicing and barely even did anything! That kinda stuff only happens when characters are like, breaking into another Realm or whatever! And like you said, it’s from fictional webnovels and a lot of it is not based off of real practices but like, other cultivation novels pft-hahahaha~!”
