5 To Floating Cloud City

Laying on the small bed, Joker slowly opened his eyes. for the past days, he had always slept in the wilderness; he didn't enjoy the privilege of sleeping in a bed either. This time, he slept especially comfortably and steady, until he was woken up by someone knocking on his door.

"Qin Lie, are you awake yet? we have classes this morning?"

hearing a sweet feminine voice, Joker fully opened his eyes and quickly got up from the bed: "Of course I'm going! Give me a minute, we'll go at once!".

Lan Xueruo waited until he wore his clothes, opening the door he put his eyes in front of his face shielding his eyes from the blinding light, he slowly smiled " Good morning senior sister".

"pfff.., it's almost evening" chuckling she said, " so in what class you are in".

giving her a puzzled look he said " Class??".

amused by his response she said, " don't mind, just show me your nameplate".

he brought a piece of wood from his pocket, throwing it toward her.

she grabbed it with her hand she read it then she threw it back while smiling " yeah, you're in class one too".

" you know class one has all the talent in the New moon profound palace and you know what it has too," she said

"What??" flatly I asked absentmindedly, she looked at me in my eyes while saying " Beauties".

" so what, now tell if I'm not wrong I'm not any kind of a lady killer why showing me too much attention"

this time I stopped my movement I looked directly in her eyes pressuring her with Haki, but it didn't work as expected she only finished for a moment before regaining her composure, maybe due to her training the Monarch Heart Secret Art wish to deflect my conqueror Haki.

she felt a huge pressure she felt her art was influenced with some kind of ability, she circled her sutra while her playful visage gone she said: " what you just did?"

"well this is something new" i murmured in my breath while taking a mental note about what happened, it was my first time experiencing my Haki countered with a person who doesn't use Haki, I grinned " Fu Fu Fu, So it's truly the princes I didn't expect to meet you here".

she was shocked she stood in front of me, unsheathing her sword she said: " Who are you ??"

"wow calm down princes if I meant to harm you would be dead long ago" while talking I secretly played with my fingers while diverting her view from my hands.

she didn't, believe me, she removed a pendant from her neck she said " well if you don't want to talk, I will have to interrogate you"

as she draws her sword close to me, she suddenly froze her movement stagnated, her sword stood one meter in front of me, she stuttered " What did you do to me ??".

as I closed to her my grin kept widening, step by step my face soon was in front of her, while she looked like a doll hanged I said: " Fufufu, did you know one of the things I hate is being threatened".

"now do you think your True Profound Realm can protect you if I meant to harm you" i looked in to her frightened eye, she wanted to move from that frightening face but she couldn't, she felt something controlling her she can feel her body her feet her hands but she can do nothing, as a parasite stuck in her nervous system ordering her to stop.

"release me," she said gnashing her teeth, I snapped my fingers the string that controlled her snapped she slowly regained her control, I smirked whispering in her ears " now little princess how are going to deal with this situation"

she slowly turned her head she saw several disciples giving her a weird glare, senior sister acted weirdy but who's that man with her, they thought.

"Bastard" she said while doing her best not to attack him, he has this weird ability that frightened the shit out of her, she turned around anger still visible in her face while she distanced her self from him she heard a whisper in her ears " I have a deal, meet me this night at the city gates I will show you something interesting ".

she abruptly stopped before continuing walking toward the classroom entrance.

Joker with a grin slowly followed after her but before he continued walking he was stopped by a group of people, they were three one at the eight levels profound realm, judging by his face he looked about to reach 19 years old, he looked ordinary by he had the aura of a spoiled young master he said " hey you bastard what you did to senior sister "

I looked at him while saying "and who are you".

one of his lackey who had third level True profound realm qaid with a smug look " why are looking like that, this is young master Murong Ye, quick apologies to him or..".

before he finished he felt something hard hitting his face before flying 10 meters away " tch, like have time to waste on weakling like you ".

as the guys were just processing how in the hell a 6 level nascent warrior beat someone on a whole big ream above him Joker already entered the Classroom where the First class studying.

walking with his unusual walking stile while arching his back, the classmate had a bad feeling seeing such kind of a smile, looking at Cang who sat on the first row Joker winked at her but the only response he got is nothing.

soon he found an empty chair in the back of the room, as he sat he put his long legs on the top of the desk while waiting for the teacher to start the class.

10 minutes later, an old man with a white beard reaching his shoulders entered the class, he raised an eye at my rude behavior but he didn't say a word, soon he began in his lecture about profound art and the profound dao.

the lecture was boring, it was good to know, but due to the evil inheritance i didn't need to cultivate i only need to slaughter to reach height's the teacher will never reach in his life.

slowly sleepiness begone to take over me.

******

by the time the classes about to finish, i already left the new moon profound palace, walking in the shadow of the busy street of the city, my legs took me to the city gates.

stealthily leaving the city, at the entrance of the forest, i climbed the highest tree, slowly playing with my string's soon between the branches a hammock soon took its shape.

resting on the top of the tree, i slowly said " Root show me the status of the Evil inheritance"

[ Evil Inheritance:

Devour (active)

Death Corrosion Destruction Chaos Depression Darkness Corpse Imperial Soul (unlocked)

]

after checking the screen i slowly asked " Root, how can I impart it"

[ host must be at least Spirit profound level]

i slowly nodded, the only thing i need now is to find 8 people to build my Cortege of Eight, as i was thinking of the qualified people to invite, darkness fully took over the forest.

i got impatient the princess took to much time to come, as i was thinking of bringing her with force, a shadow of a snow-white bird come from inside the city after it flew past the city 2 miles behind the bird landed on the ground.

from the top of it jumped Cang Yue, she slowly checked her surrounding checking of any close presence until she spotted something hanging on top of a tree.

as she got closer, she squinted her eyes a pink color picked her attention, she knew it was him, she slowly drew her sword after closing to him she jumped with a terrifying speed ready to slash him before she reached him she heard a small sound, if she wasn't in combat ready she wouldn't hear.

'Parasite' as joker word reached the princess' ears a thread with fast speed attached itself in her neck.

while showing his grinning face to the princess he said: " Fufufu, why are you in a hurry to kill me, Princess".

she put her sword in its sheat she made i contact with him while saying " talk quick why you brought me here".

"Hehe.. sure why not " jumping down from the tree, as i landed i straitened my back with a nonchalant tone i said, " Bleu Wind profound palace needs talented disciples".

she replied, " so what ".

"you need someone to represent the empire in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament" am i right.

she said, " what does this have anything to do with a deal".

i chuckled " well, i have something in the Heaven Basin Secret Realm i need to acquire, so how about this, i will represent you in the tournament ".

she looked doubtfully at me " i don't know where you confidence comes from, but do we get from this deal".

Joker said "sigh, i don't have enough time if you agree to my deal i will heal your father from his illness".

she becomes cold " how do you know my father is ill, and why should i believe in the words of a child ".

i facepalmed at my stupidity, I'm just a teen blabbering bullshit in front of her " o key princess you don't believe me, how about i show you "

"show me what," she said.

"you know the location of the Floating Cloud City," i said.

"yes i know, why are you asking," she asked.

" take me there and i will show a proof "
