Chapter 14: Meeting Granny Oyo
Chapter 14: Meeting Granny Oyo
There was no lack of beautiful women in the world. As long as one roamed the streets, they would at least come across a few. And as long as a person lives in such a world, they would acclimate to that setting.
Even if they saw a drop-dead gorgeous woman, all they would do was admire her mentally and let out one or two comments. They wouldn\'t lose all control over their motor senses like Inala did at present.
After six years of being a shut-in, whenever he came across good looking woman online, as long as he felt the most minor of urges, he would fap. Had he been in a working environment, he would have had to restrain himself, otherwise, he might lose his job.
Besides, being labelled a pervert would be the end of their career. Therefore, as one keeps restraining their urges, they would soon reach a point where they would have great control over their urges and would be able to mask them while mingling about in society.
Inala had lost that touch. And even after reincarnating, in the name of practice, he had holed up in a room. Habits die hard, after all.
He stared at his pants, seeing the hill that had formed there. He hurriedly applied pressure onto it, \'This is no time to rise, boner-kun.\'
After entering his room, Inala activated the Mystic Bone Art and meditated for five minutes, sighing in relief after seeing that he had calmed down. The perverted simp in him had been sealed in the abyss once again.
Thereby, he was able to think logically as before, observing his body to sense a mysterious energy circulating in him, \'Is this what protected my bones from breaking during that impact?\'
When Granny Oyo flicked him, she had infused this energy into his body. Its effects wouldn\'t last for long, as the infused amount was very little. But, it was calculated to be enough for him to make the trip to her house while carrying the tub of tonic.
The tonic was only a litre, weighing a bit more than a kilogram. It wasn\'t heavy, but it had to be noted that he was on the topmost floor. It implied he had to carry that tub and walk down the stairs.
If he stepped down hard, the generated shock might crack the bones in his arm that was carrying the extra weight. This was why he knocked on Granny Oyo\'s door without the tub. Moreover, he was probing her to see if she would use any tonic on him to help him perform the task easier.
\'She\'s just as described in the novel, prone to unleashing killing intent, but innately kind.\' Inala got up, carried the tub of tonic, and rushed down the flight of stairs.
He was excited, for he was able to run down like a normal person his age. The effects of his Fragment Disease had been vastly suppressed by the tonic infused in him.
Granny Oyo was a walking, talking pharmacy. She stored tonics for a variety of purposes in her body and was able to infuse them in others when necessary. In battle, she was a healing unit, working alongside the masters that faced terrifying Pranic Beasts.
In Sumatra Chronicles, after Resha saves Ruvva, he\'s taken under the tutelage of Granny Oyo. She helps suppress his Fragment Disease, allowing him to train. And with the assistance of the various tonics she provided him, Resha reached the peak of the Spirit Stage before the First Major Disaster started.
Every reincarnate intended to get her assistance, but Virala was the one that ended up succeeding. Moreover, he made Ruvva fall hard in love with him, thereby raising his importance in Granny Oyo\'s eyes.
Just to ensure a better future for her granddaughter, she helped Virala, providing greater assistance than she did to Resha. After all, Resha never had a romantic interest in Ruvva. It was only the latter\'s admiration towards him.
But Virala changed that and entered a relationship with Ruvva, thereby garnering more attention from Granny Oyo.
During their interaction, Virala hadn\'t unleashed his Prana, so Inala was unable to determine how much Prana the latter had amassed, \'It should be high.\'
\'But, it doesn\'t matter. You\'re only Ruvva\'s lover. Until you marry her, the assistance you\'ll get from Granny Oyo is still limited. You won\'t obtain her core techniques.\' Inala had formulated a plan the moment Virala knocked on his door.
He arrived before Granny Oyo\'s house, watching her be seated on a chair in the living room. The door was left ajar, and the moment he arrived, a cold voice echoed out, "Enter."
"Please excuse me," Inala said respectfully as he entered the living room, all while staring at the ground. He dared not take a risk by staring at her face. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had an explosive body. Coupled with her mature woman\'s charm and her authoritative countenance, he would instantly become her simp if she leads him on even a little.
The only way to prevent that was to avoid staring at her. One day, after he had shed the side effects of being a shut-in, he would be able to stare straight at her face.
The moment he entered, the tub of tonic flew out of his hand and hovered before Granny Oyo. A droplet flew out and entered her mouth.
After tasting the effects of the tonic, Granny Oyo asked without a hint of emotion, "Where did you learn this refinement Skill?"
\'It\'s eerily similar to mine but has been improved. How\'s this possible?\' She stared at him, observing Inala\'s figure from top to bottom, frowning as she noticed how he continued to stare at the ground, \'He\'s a mere student. He shouldn\'t have gone beyond our settlement until now. I\'m the only one with tonic refinement knowledge in this settlement. So, from whom did he learn?\'
"I asked you a question," She snorted and released a tinge of killing intent, saying after watching Inala\'s legs give in, "Look at me when I ask you something."
"Otherwise, I\'ll kill you."
