CHAPTER 101 **This is just…Ceremony…**

Sahara on purposely took her time eating, while wondering what she should do for the day.

Normally, on the last day of being single, one goes out to party, yet…

She looked around, seeing a maid ready to take her breakfast, a maid waiting to make her bed, a maid waiting to do her hair and clothes already prepared…She was sure that she got two extra maids because of what was going to happen tomorrow…

But…When did she say that she wanted help? She’s lived so long now without help from anyone that these maids are really irritating her! At least at Matthew’s estate, it’s only one that hangs around her…Not three!

What Sahara didn’t know, was that Talon had put these maid’s here to keep her here and to do what she’s told!

Putting some more food in her mouth, she pouted and ate slowly, she must think of a good reason to get away from here…But what?

Sahara had to think of a way to get those men from Purple Haven here safely and without teleporting only one or two at a time. If she was to do that, then whoever was left behind in the vast, open land area may come into danger and would have more trouble surviving, because they would have less around for safety.

So…If she were to bring them back, she’d have to bring them all back together. And there was three of them…

What would bring back all three though? Could I use rope? Tie em up, and fly em over here?

After a few minutes of seeing a strange long rope connected to three people in her head, Sahara blinked and shook her head…Saving those who are a world away might be more difficult than she had first thought…Well, besides the ‘Teleport two and faint’ type of idea, which she can’t do at the moment because of her wedding.

No…That won’t work. With how fast I would bring them back, the rope would have to be pretty tight on their bodies and that wouldn’t be good…Mmm, what about rope with something else, like a wooden board?

Sahara slowly munched away and saw Naruto staring at her…

“Can you get Naruto some food please…” She said, while covering what was left in front of her.

He looked at her with puppy dog eyes and she shook her head, “No, they’ll get you some food!”

Wait…Naruto…Could he go and get those men? I’d have to make him bigger and teleport him in and out of the barrier…But, when would I know that he’d be ready to come back? And…He was only a rank four beast, would he be enough to protect them? Ah! Wouldn’t it be so cool though, how he could carry some things in his tails and on his back, haha!

Sahara pictured the little bugger being a few meters tall and he’s tails holding onto food and water, then having some kind of saddle on his back. She let out a snort and breathed in, trying not to look stranger than she already did…

She sighed and saw him lick his little snout…Why does he have such a large tongue!?

“Miss, this one would like to know if you are finished your breakfast now?” A maid interrupted her thoughts.

Sahara turned and said, “No! I’m still eating!”

“Sahara, you don’t have speak like that, it’s rude!”

She looked up, knowing that Talon was behind the screen.

Really, what’s he doing here! I still have bed hair! Wasn’t this bad!?

“You are taking too long to eat and get out of bed. We still have to go through everything again and the old madam wishes to see you.”

Sahara rolled her eyes and sighed, “Go on, have it!”

Naruto immediately starts eating her leftovers, while she got out of bed. “Father, I don’t want to go through everything again, it’ll be a waste of my time. Instead, I have better plans!”

“Nonsense! Are you trying to lose face by saying your time is better spent then that of being the best bride for the Second Prince?”

Uh? The best bride!? What the hell!

“Father, I think you are more into this then I am…” Sahara said grudgingly, as she went to change her clothes, still behind the screen.

The maid hadn’t liked that she had started to undress, but all she could do was wave her hands as she continued to talk to Talon.

Sahara knew that she shouldn’t change clothes while a man was in her room in this ancient era, but seriously, she was up now…Might as well get on with it! It’s not like he can see her anyway!

“I am happy, of course, Sahara. I…Want the best for you.” She heard Talon sigh after that.

She smiled and finished getting dressed, “Trust me father, I will be fine. I’d like to heal Zeus instead, I think that is more worthy of my time.”

“You want to heal Zeus? Sahara…That…That would be wonderful.” Talon said and Sahara could hear the smile in his voice. But…He was also taking a deep breath in…As good as that news was…Why can’t she heal Zeus another time!? Her wedding was tomorrow!

“Mmm, so I will forgo the useless time of doing things that I already know and go and help someone instead.”

“Sahara! That is no way to talk of a wedding! Especially yours!” Talon yelled! How can she be the one that was most relaxed, when she was the bride!?

She rolled her eyes again, “If nothing has changed from what I learnt yesterday, I don’t see any use now. Besides, isn’t a wedding, or marriage, about the two people. I already know I love Matthew and that he loves me…This is just…Ceremony…So please let it go, or I’ll go back to the Second Prince’s Estate early!”

Silence filled the room…

Walking out from behind the screen, Sahara walked to her dressing table and a maid started to brush her hair…

She knew that having maids is good and all…But she already missed doing things on her own…Which is funny, because when she did things on her own, sometimes she wished for a maid…Can’t win…

“Mm…Mmissss…” A maid stuttered.

Sahara turned to the maid that wanted to make her bed, “What is it?”

“The…The bbbeast…”

Sahara couldn’t see through the screen, “Just wait until he’s finished.”

Like duh…

Sahara rarely made her bed on Earth as it was, the maid can just wait or go and do something else!

“Yes…Yes, Miss.” The maid said, standing back and looking stiff.

Sahara let out a chuckle. Naruto wasn’t scary in the least, he was as cute as a button!

She turned back and looked at herself in the mirror, and guessed that it was a good time to cleanse herself, which should help with her hair too…

As she went into meditation, Talon walked out, unsure on how to get his way with his daughter, and the maid could only stand there waiting for a beast to finish a human’s breakfast…

When Sahara finished her meditation, she found that her hair was complete, and that the maid had gone. The maid waiting to take the breakfast dish was picking it up and the maid wanting to make the bed was inching closer, slowly towards the bed…

She sighed, “Steven.”

“…Here.”

Sahara saw him come into the window and she smiled, “It’s time to see Zeus.”

Steven took a small moment, before nodding in realization to who he was. “Very well.”

“Naruto!” She yelled, scaring the maid, who had finally made it to the bed…

Sahara laughed and when Naruto was in her hands, she touched Steven and they teleported to where she thought Zeus still resided.

…His place looked abandoned, weeds growing everywhere…

Sahara saw that the garden was now gone, and the canopy was not seen through, as the vines and weeds were going through it all.

Suddenly, Sahara saw another idea!

“Steven, can you get a net or make a net?” She asked.

“I have no money to buy one, but if I had the materials to make one, I will make one for you.” He answered.

“Mmm, the net…Needs to be as big is this courtyard…No, maybe half should do it. And I need blankets…Thick blankets.”

Steven looked at her in confusion, “What will you use a net and blankets for?”

Sahara looked at the weeds going through the holes in the canopy and said, “The net is to bring the Purple Haven men here, the blankets are to keep them from getting hurt by both the net or others in the net. Do…Do you think it will work?”

Steven thought about it for a moment, “How fast will the net go?”

She proudly nodded, “Pretty dam fast!”

Sahara could probably cover miles in just a few seconds…Although, she really did wonder why they haven’t come up with something like cars yet…Was it because they had ventured down another line of technology or was it because of cultivation? But really, if one was at rank four or five cultivation, they would probably be just as fast as slow cars anyway…Right? Maybe they didn’t really need them…

It was just a shrugging thought…

“I am not sure. I will see what I can do, so that the net won’t hurt anyone.”

She nodded, “Awesome!”

Walking further into the courtyard, getting closer to Zeus’s ‘room’, Sahara could hear a voice calling out, “The Young Master does not want to see you!’

She stopped…

Ah, well, he doesn’t have to see me.

Sahara looked at Naruto and cheekily smiled. “Naruto, go and cuddle the man. Go on!”

She put him down, pointing a direction, and watched him disappear, while waiting for Naruto to ‘cuddle’.

What seemed to be Zeus’s caregiver, or something, went scurrying off after Naruto, “Get back here!”

When Sahara found herself against a body on a wheelchair, through having spiritual essence in Naruto, Sahara placed her spiritual essence into the body and sat down to meditate.

The poor boy…His lungs…She doubted his lungs had ever been good…

His airways must have been blocked at some point, or his blood, because his legs held very little of anything in them. The blood was not circulating well, and the nerves seemed to be pinched higher up in his body.

Ah, so his back needed nerve repair and his lungs needed repair the most…Then she would assume his legs needed help after that.

This might take a while, “Steven, I think I’ll be at least two hours here.”

“Very well, I’ll look around here and see if I can find rope or blankets.”

“Mmm…” she mumbled, already starting to heal Zeus’s lungs already.

***

An hour later, having missed a little shuffle that happened inside, Sahara was still healing Zeus.

Naruto didn’t budge from Zeus, getting away from the maid that had tried to take him away, yet still trying to do as he was told, by ‘cuddling’ this man…

But…After about twenty minutes, of the beast winning, by never getting caught, Zeus finally gave up to his want to pat the beast.

Sahara would have liked to see his softened face then, but she had been pretty busy…

On the other hand, Steven hadn’t found much. There were some old blankets, that he was stitching together, but he was unable to find any kind of rope or net…

He hadn’t wanted to go far from where Sahara was, having his main objective of protecting her clear in his mind. After obtaining the blankets, he gave them a good shake, cultivation style, and sat in a tree with them and watched her from there.

…Sahara had finished transforming Zeus’s lungs to the best that she could accomplish, and had already fixed not just nerves, but some disc’s in his back that had just about collapsed, which was another reason why his legs were practically unusable.

Since his legs were so weak, Sahara had made the blood vessels stronger and started to change her spiritual essence into a bit of muscle for him.

It really was strange that she knew so much about the human body now. She wasn’t a doctor in her last life, but she did have internet. Sahara also learnt about the human body in school as well, so she probably knew the most about it on this planet since she was born…But, what had taught her the most, was her own body. Sahara guessed, to a certain degree, that she was her own test subject, thinking that somebody has to learn and start from somewhere, right? Well…Where did all the information come from in the first place!?

Sahara had cleansed her body so many times now, that she knew the looks of everything ‘normal’ and that helped her with everyone else’s body…Just like the undeveloped muscles in Zeus’s leg, Sahara knew that he could easily grow them to be a minimum of three sizes bigger, so she gave them some help, so that he’d be able to have a good start…

She wasn’t going to do all the work, and she didn’t want to take away the want he may have, after he learns that he could walk again. Not only that, but changing her essence still takes a lot of work and spiritual essence…

After she finished his legs and cleansed the rest of his body, another hour had passed…
