• {Year : 5.6} •

Finally getting out of the hospital that held him hostage, Lin Shen went back to his home with his parents. His parents were at his either sides, holding him so tight that had he not broken through to Second Stage:True Master, he would've gained bone fractures.

Yes, after regaining his consciousness, Lin Shen was met with huge changes to his body as well as his cultivation. He had broken through a whole stage! Though, he had already opened his Heart Acupoint in few days as his foundation building was quick in the past. Eye Acupoint, Nose Acupoint, Ears Acupoint, and Mouth Acupoint all gained two abilities, which was unheard of in Earth.

Lin Shen felt like that this was due to the superior being, being his disciple. He was surprised when he figured out what abilities they were. Some were useless and the rest were amazing.

...

Lin Shen was now sat on a soft couch, watching cartoons on TV. The parents would either carefully pay attention to him or quickly finish their business and come to him. The former Heavenly Emperor had his patience but this time, he was running out of it.

"Mom! I'm fine!" He shouted in exasperation as his mother kept hugging him, pressing her bountiful breasts against his back.

"Yes, yes." Lin Mama nodded as if it was matter of fact, though she still didn't stop hugging.

"So you can leave me alone, right!" Lin Shen directly stated, annoyance evident in his voice. His mother still shrugged it off as his father walked in, carrying papers.

"Honey, what of these kindergarten papers?" Lin Papa asked, curious to her opinion. Recently, they had been overprotective of Lin Shen even more so should they still send him out?

"..." his mother darkened her face, scaring the father slightly. But she sighed in the end. "Alright, we will still send him."

Lin Shen heard that and was in joy, jumping out of her lap forcedly. "Finally! I can go!"

Lin Mama twitched her fingers as she reached for her cute son, still feeling reluctant. "Maybe we shouldn't..."

"Moooom!" Lin Shen shouted in exasperation, now very annoyed. "I'm fiinnneeee!"

"Alright!" His mother gave in and signed the papers. Lin Papa also signed and nodded.

"I feel we've been too overprotective, so we have to give him his personal space. We wouldn't want him to hate us like those little girls back then, would you?" His father added in, furthering solidifying her decision.

"You're right!" She nodded quickly. Lin Shen gratefully looked at his father to which he returned a small nod with a smile.

• [The First Day of Lin Shen's Kindergarten!] •

"Alright everyone, gather around!" A female teacher said, waving the bustling kids around in the room. Behind her was a cute boy, unimaginably cute. Even the female teacher felt like kidnapping him and raise her as if he was her son some place else, but she held it back.

"Yes!" The kids chorused as if practiced, gathering near the female teacher. They also glanced at the cute boy, curiousity evident in their innocent eyes.

"You all may have already guessed, but we have a new student joining us!" The female teacher said as she patted on Lin Shen's soft and pitch black hair. She felt like she could keep doing this forever, but sadly it ended when he stepped forward.

"I'm Lin Shen!" He introduced himself loudly. The kids just nodded and clapped as if practiced. The former Heavenly Emperor twitched his mouth and started to feel bad about this idea... "I don't like much but I really dislike people who interrupts my personal space!"

"..." The kids were instead confused, one of them asked. "What's pershal spac?"

'F*ck!' Lin Shen wanted to cry inside as he realized that the kids in this world were uh... academically lower than his world in the old universe.

• {Year : 7} •

Having grown taller by several inches and losing baby fat, Lin Shen started to show signs of handsomeness. He and his parents were currently walking to a school nearby, for its entrance ceremony. Lin Shen was finally in elementary school.

From the kindergarten, only three kids were also attending it. Those three were also friends with Lin Shen, a cool kid. The former Heavenly Emperor particularly liked the 'cool kid' title in kindergarten, so he felt smug when he told the tales of it to his parents. The parents nearly bust their guts while listening, they had to take several excuses to leave and come back after laughing in the pillows.

Lin Shen, of course, knew of that but didn't care as he had to release it from his mind so that he didn't have to tell anyone else.

The three kids were two girls and a boy.

The boy was also showing signs of handsomeness, though Lin Shen overshadowed that heavily. The boy also had blond hair, showing he was of another race and that he was foreigner. His parents moved to China from America several years ago. He wasn't particularly jealous of Lin Shen's popularity and instead even became friends with him. The boy and Shen hit it off and easily became 'sworn' brothers as Shen called it.

The two girls were pretty in their rights. But the former Heavenly Emperor had already seen little girls who grew up to be devastatingly beautiful goddess that both of the girls didn't show signs of. Both of them were also secretly crushing on Lin Shen ever since they became friends through odd situations. But Lin Shen was not an expert in actions of little brats, so he was clueless of it.

"Here we are, little Shen!" The mother of former Heavenly Emperor said and then commented. "Wow, it looks beautiful and huge."

"Well of course, it would be huge as it's connected with junior high school." Lin Shen's father rolled his eyes, but sweat dropped when his wife glared at him with a look that signaled he would get it if he kept doing that. "U-uh, wow! You're right!"

Lin Shen internally thought. 'In my past lives, all my relationships were me being the dominant one... What an embarrassment my father is!'

"Mmmn." Lin Mama nodded and patted Lin Shen's soft black hair that went to his shoulders. "Alright, you can go find them. We'll watch from sides."

Them being the three friends that attended to the same school, Lin Shen nodded and ran to where they were. He had already found them with his spiritual sense.

He also found their parents, but oddly enough, the girls' fathers looked menacing and had darkened faces. Lin Shen was confused but was not afraid of them, after all, he was a former Heavenly Emperor!

What he didn't know was that those fathers had been told by their respective wives that their daughter had been crushing on one same boy. Their fatherly instincts caused them to become united and prepared to have a 'talk' with this boy when they meet.

The girls also understood why they looked scary, so they couldn't help but be embarrassed, hoping that Lin Shen wouldn't appear.

Both of them were thinking the same thing. 'If he sees my dad, he might avoid me!'

Lin Shen went to his first male friend. Seeing him, he approached him quickly. "Hey, Jack!"

The boy was startled when Shen called him from behind. He turned and grinned at his 'sworn' brother. "Hey, Shen!"

Both of them approached each other and made a bump with their right arm. "Sworn brothers forever!"

"Haha, let's hope we're in the same class!" Jack laughed, breaking it off. Shen nodded too, smiling.

"Yeah."

"Oh right, have you met Yu Yan and Ying Yue's fathers?" Jack asked, worried. Lin Shen was confused but shook his head.

"Why?"

The blond boy could only sighed at Shen's denseness. "Because they look like they have it out for you!"

"Me? But why? I only became the girls' friend?" The former Heavenly Emperor was confused, clueless in little brats' actions. "Did I do something wrong to them?"

"Ugh..." Jack really wanted to slap his 'sworn' brother's head but his hand would only get hurt instead. He learned that lesson directly when he first tried to because of a fight. "Never mind, you'll find out in future anyways."

"Um, ok." Lin Shen just nodded as both of them entered a huge gym filled with chairs and a stage. "Let's go sit together, over there."

He pointed at a spot and Jack nodded, following. Both of them attracted attention from other people, as they walked.

"Wow, a foreigner!", "Ah! Who is that cute boy?!", "Honey, why didn't you give a adorable kid like him...?", "Wife... I don't want to bust my b- Oof!", "Both of them look friends!", "I'll have to tell my kid to become their friend so they can come over to our home!", "Let's kidnap them! Haha!", "Haha!", "Looks like we'll have a playboy in future!", "I have to tell my daughter to stay away from that brat!"

Jack was a young kid so he didn't understand most of them, but Lin Shen understood. He sweat dropped and twitched his face. Arriving to the chairs, both of them sat.

At that moment, Yu Yan and Ying Yue saw Lin Shen and quickly ran over to sit beside him.

Ying Yue got the left seat of Lin Shen, so Yu Yan could only sit beside her as Jack was on his right. Lin Shen greeted them. "Hey! Let's hope we're all in same class!"

"Yeah!" Both of the girls nodded, really hoping.

"So it's him..." A muscular man wearing black suit menacingly muttered, staring down Lin Shen from a distance. He was Ying Yue's father. Beside him was his beautiful wife who wore an casual set of clothes.

"My, it looks like we will have a handsome son-in-law!" She giggled, but the muscular man twitched his mouth.

"No! I won't give away my darling daughter!"

"Yes, me as well!" Another man stood beside him, wearing a casual set of clothes. This man was Yu Yan's father.

Lin Shen of course, heard them and was confused but shocked when he finally realized... 'Wait, it all makes sense now. No wonder both of them would always run to me seeing whose first back then...'

Lin Shen furiously twitched his face as they were little brats! Ying Yue seemed to sense his ordeal so she asked, very closely. "What's wrong, Shen?"

Her disciplined actions and sweet voice made the former Heavenly Emperor shiver. He turned his head away and stuttered. "N-nothing!"

"Oh." Ying Yue nodded cutely and inched closer to Lin Shen's seat. He didn't move either, he just ignored it and acted as if she was a little sister instead. He definitely was not going to consider her as a potential wife.

"Hey, stop getting close to him!" Yu Yan pouted, as she held Ying Yue back.

Ying Yue was graceful in her actions and spoke. "What do you mean? I'm seated closest to Shen, so I can't help it if you think I'm getting closer to him."

Her smile looked like a scheming one to Yu Yan. Poor girl could only pout in anger, as it was the truth. "Hmp! I will be the next one!"

"..." Lin Shen could only slap himself mentally, how come he didn't notice those conversations near him in the past? Jack glanced and took another look.

The blond boy widened his eyes and saw Lin Shen looking helpless. 'He's figured it out! Did the sun rise from the wrong way?!'

"Alright, everyone!" A middle-aged woman walked to the stage and stood behind the podium in center. She began to talk her hard-worked and long speech. "Lala, blah blah, wee woo, willy woop, woop di do."

• {Year : 12} •

"Argh!" Lin Shen exclaimed as he stood up, placing a game controller on the floor. "You win again!"

"Hehe." Ying Yue made a victory pose as she looked at his eyes. She felt her heart throb when she did, making her blush. "U-um, now you'll have to do one thing I want!"

"Yeah, yeah!" Lin Shen just nodded as he sat on the couch. Yu Yan and Jack sat with him. They all were in Lin Shen's home.

Though his family was not poor, it also was not rich either. His house was still nice and enough for a family of five. Lin Shen's mother had invited her son's friends for a sleepover because tomorrow was apparently the day Lin Shen would go somewhere far for two months.

Yu Yan and Ying Yue was saddened at that announcement but at least Lin Shen would come back and they also had his phone number, so they could text or call each others.

During elementary school, their bond were even more tighter than before. Ying Yue and Yu Yan would casually grab on Lin Shen's arms and lead him wherever, much to his exasperation. Jack would just follow, grinning at his 'sworn' brother's helpless face.

When elementary school was about to finish for them, junior high came to them. Right now, they were one month in, so they already got used to it. Lin Shen also found out something shocking about his first 'sworn' brother in this life... Jack's family was actually a family of cultivators!

Lin Shen luckily, had a technique to hide his cultivation easily from anyone. Even his master wouldn't be able to see through. Speaking of his master, the superior being would often teach Lin Shen in dreams and impart information for him to learn and act on.

Due to that, he was already at the peak of Second Stage:True Master. He could break through any time, but he needed to find a safe place for the tribulation. His Sword Intent also soared to the heavens, being capable of cutting anything within his range, which was about 10 miles wide. Just point and a long cut would appear.

Jack was at First Stage: Beyond Mortal, as he only recently began cultivating. Lin Shen didn't know whether to help him or not... though he had already indirectly helped him by being around Jack. Lin Shen's body radiated some sort of calming spiritual thing that Jack could progress faster than normal when not near.

Back to Ying Yue, she began to stutter as she tried to speak the one thing she wanted Lin Shen to do. "S-sleep with me tonight!"

"..." Lin Shen nearly bulged out his eyes 'Sleep together?! Wait, this is just a little brat, so it's just a normal sleep. Woo, I'm too perverted...'

"Oh, ok." He just dumbly nodded, after all, he did swear to the heavens that he would follow whatever she said for one time. Ying Yue was ecstatic when he didn't decline. She turned to look at Yu Yan and nodded, to which she returned.

Both of their eyes flashed with a scheme. 'Hihi~'

Jack noticed that and sweated. 'Sorry, sworn brother! I have to stay away for the night!'

"..." A plate crashed on the floor. They were startled and looked, met with a beautiful young woman who was Lin Shen's mother.

Lin Shen had secretly planted some Qi into the foods that he often made for his parents, effectively prolonging their lifespan as well as making them more beautiful and handsomer. Yes, he began to cook for his parents often.

Anyways, Lin Mama had a shocked face as she trembled, pointing at Lin Shen and Ying Yue. "Y-you can't do that! You're too young for it!"

'...I'm not the only one who is too perverted!' The former Heavenly Emperor was glad but embarrassed at the same time. Ying Yue saw this and panicked, thinking that he agreed.

"N-no! He promised that he would do anything I said if I won!" She cried out, running to Lin Shen's arm. "A-and I worked super hard to win!"

'...' Jack and Lin Shen twitched their faces. W-when did this girl become shameless?!

Lin Shen just sighed and patted her back, looking at his mother. "Mom! It's just sleeping together, nothing b-a-d!"

"Bu-!" His mother suddenly realized, wait, that's right, they're kids! She wished she could smack herself. Regaining her composure, she apologized. "Ah, sorry! I thought you were talking about something else!"

Being a curious kid, Yu Yan asked. "What did you think?"

"..." She just ignored and embarrassedly left after cleaning the floor, not wanting to answer that. Yu Yan pouted.

Lin Shen sweat dropped and said. "Uh, it's getting dark so let's go."

They nodded and went to a big room that had futons prepared. Jack glanced and secretly prayed for Lin Shen as he spoke. "Shen, I'm gonna go sleep in your room!"

"Wh-" Lin Shen was confused but couldn't ask as Jack had already went in his room. Ying Yue and Yu Yan nodded, satisfied at that. 'F*ck!'

"Ok, let's sleep together!" Ying Yue excitedly said with Yu Yan nodding quickly. Lin Shen just resigned to it and went in a futon.

Both of the girls went in that same futon, clustered together. Both of them held his arms tightly and laid their small heads on his shoulders. Lin Shen just cursed himself.

'Stupid, stupid! Why did I even fall for their trick?!' He really wished they would get over their crush during the two months away. Lin Shen sighed and slept, without realizing his body suddenly emitted slight shining which spread to the two girls.
