Living With My Lady Boss

Orkus kicked a stone in frustration, sending it flying. Wilbur, seeing his angry yet somewhat endearing expression, struggled to suppress his laughter and asked cautiously, "Orkus, are you okay?"

"It's so embarrassing."

Orkus turned away, hands on his hips, and after a moment of silence, said, "Actually, I am also your master. Orkot and I are essentially the same person. He taught you some skills, and now it's my turn. I want to prove to the world that Orkus is not inferior to Orkot."

Orkus then explained his relationship with Orkot. It turned out that the dragon clan was a unique group tasked with overseeing the various dimensions of the universe. Due to the existence of both light and dark dimensions in the cosmos, Orkus and Orkot have always been two aspects of the same entity since birth.

Orkot represented the light dimensions, while Orkus embodied the dark dimensions. Originally, they shared one body. However, in the higher dimensions, they were deceived by a female assassin from the Dragon Slayer Organization named Iselin and were ultimately killed by the combined efforts of the organization.

The Dragon Slayer Organization was unaware of the unique nature of Orkot and believed he was dead. But in reality, Orkot and Orkus, being embodiments of light and dark, transcended typical concepts of life and death. When someone from the light dimension died, their soul would naturally be transferred to the dark dimension, and vice versa.

The universe, created by the dimensional guardians, operated on a cycle of light and dark reincarnation. Because of their unique existence, Orkot and Orkus each maintained a form in both the light and dark dimensions. Consequently, they did not truly experience death. They simply alternated between separation and union. After being betrayed in the higher dimensions, Orkus and Orkot were forced to separate.

Yet, this separation was something Orkus had always desired. He did not want to be Orkot's shadow. In the dark dimensions, Orkus was a powerful ruler in his own right. Deep down, Orkus never considered himself inferior to Orkot and always sought to prove his worth.

Now, with Orkot taking on Wilbur as a disciple, Orkus saw an opportunity. He decided to also take Wilbur as his disciple, intending to teach him his own techniques, thereby proving his superiority over Orkot.

After hearing Orkus' story, Wilbur was stunned and asked, "So, you and my master Orkot are both immortal?"noveldrama

"Indeed," Orkus confirmed. "Being part of the dragon clan, one of the dimensional guardians, we are not subject to death."

Wilbur suddenly recalled something he had once heard from Orkot. "So, does that mean the cultivator who became a dimensional guardian through ruthless killing and plundering is also immortal?"

Orkus paused, looking at Wilbur with a serious expression, and replied, "That individual is merely a low-level dimensional guardian and cannot escape the cycle of life and death."

He then changed the subject, saying, "Alright, Wilbur, since you've enjoyed my fish soup, from now on, you are my disciple."

"Ah?" Wilbur was taken aback. Orkus smiled faintly and asked, "What's the matter? Are you unwilling?"

"No, of course not. I am willing."

Wilbur was eager to become Orkus' disciple. After all, having another master meant learning more skills. Given the current crisis, which concerned not just Wilbur but the survival of the entire world, there was no reason for him to refuse.

Orkus nodded in approval. "Good. When you became Orkot's disciple, how long did he teach you?"

"Master Orkot taught me for two months."

"Then I will teach you for three months. Don't ask me why I'm adding an extra month. If you really want to know, it's because I have to be better at everything than him!"
