7 She belong with me!
"What happened, Qingyue? You are acting strange."
"…"
Chu yueli showed a puzzled expression when she didn't got an answer from Qingyue, it is to be noted that Qingyue was always obedient and will always follow her instructions.
"Master, I...." Qingyue called out in a meek voice but went silent before finishing.
"Don't worry, Qingyue. Tell master what happened." Yueli convinced her disciple with a soft voice.
"Master… I can't… I can't come with you." Qingyue said while she was looking down, she had never felt so nervous in her whole life, she didn't wanted to imagine what her master's reaction would be.
*Sigh* "Fine, you can take as much time as you need, Qingyue." Yueli misunderstood the meaning behind Qingyue's words and thought that she didn't wanted to part with her family yet.
Qingyue had a difficult expression on her face, this was becoming more and more harder everytime her master misunderstands her.
"No, master… I mean that.. I don't want to be a disciple of frozen cloud Asgard anymore." Qingyue finally let out with much difficulty and looked up to see her master's reaction.
The fairy of frozen grass had her eyes opened wide in surprise with baffled expression on her face, it took her a few moments to regain her bearing and then said
"What do you mean that you don't want to be a disciple of frozen cloud Asgard anymore, You do realize that it's a dream of many people to even enter there, right?" Chu yueli asked, she couldn't believe what she was hearing so she asked her again for confirmation.
"Qingyue already knows, Master. But Qingyue still doesn't wish to join frozen Cloud Asgard." Qingyue said while she without making eye contact with her master.
"Why?" This was the only thing Yueli could ask, after all this was just too sudden for her, a few days ago she was ready to join but now she doesn't?
"Qingyue has her reasons, Master. Please believe in me." Qingyue of course would not tell chu Yueli about Zack, even if Yueli is disappointed in her right now, Qingyue knew that if she told her that it's because of a man she will flip.
Chu yueli looked at Qingyue deeply before she gave a deep sigh "You know that our sect has high expectations from you, right?"
"…"
"You can't back down now, Qingyue, the future of the sect is on your shoulders."
"Qingyue apologises"
"No, master is the one who should apologise, Qingyue. Even if it is against your will, I have to take you back for the future of our sect."
Chu yueli raised her hand and the room's temperature dropped down to an unimaginable degree, it would feel like one was standing at the South Pole.
~~~With Zack~~~
Zack disappeared from the sight of lingxi and Qingyue but in reality he just teleported a few distance away from them, he wanted to be ensure about their safety before anything else.
Lingxi helped Xiao lie to his room, the members of the Xiao clan hastily moved away to give them way.
After Zack's proclamation that Qingyue and lingxi were under his protection, the Xiao clan members didn't had the guts to even look up straight to them.
'Lingxi will be safe, I guess.' Zack thought as he watched the respectful gazes of Xiao clan towards Xiao lie and lingxi.
'hmm, I should do some spamming again, it has been quite some time…' Zack thought as he opened the status window and started clicking on the plus sign in front of his attributes.
It took him a few minutes to finish, after that he looked at the floating screen in front of him with a satisfied expression

[Eye Abilities: Rinne-sharingan and byakugan.]
Zack was especially surprised to see the description of his cooking skill, he didn't noticed before about the benefits one would get by eating his food.
He closed the screen and realized that Qingyue has already left the place, he sensed her in Xia manor by using wind element, his control over wind element allows him to sense the location of anyone he wants in a certain area.
He used cosmic shift to teleport to her house in time to hear chu yueli's words
"No, master is the one who should apologise, Qingyue. Even if it is against your will… I have to take you back for the future of our sect."
His expression sharpened when he heard her words he immediately appeared by Qingyue's side with another cosmic shift and stared right in Yueli's eyes…
"Too bad, fairy of frozen grass… But she belongs to me now." Zack said without a change of expression.
Chu yueli was taken aback by the sudden appearance of a man, she didn't even feel anything until she saw him.
Qingyue looked at his back and couldn't help but feel the same way she felt back then, whenever he is near she felt excessively safe.
Chu yueli regained her bearing without wasting any time and said in a cold voice "Who are you and what do you mean she belongs to you?"
"Are you dumb or something? It means exactly like it sounded, she belong to me" Zack said while looking at her like he was looking at an idiot.
"How dare you say that, Junior. Stop spouting lies or else don't blame me for being rough."
"It sounds funny when you say it to someone like me... I don't think even your sect grand mistress would dare to talk to me like that…" Zack said while chuckling a little in amusement.
"You… How dare you…" Yueli used frozen cloud arts to attack him…
But alas! How could she even try to use an elemental attack in front of someone with total mastery over that element.
The ice didn't even form before it dissipated again like it was just a fluke while Yueli looked shocked by this.
Zack then proceeded to use his skill nullify and then nullified the profound energy in her body…
This caused Ice fairy to feel that she had fought a hard battle and her profound energy is totally exhausted…
Chu yueli's mouth was wide opened while her eyes threatened to fall out off the sockets, she couldn't believe what was happening right now…
"Since you dared to attack me, then it will be only fair if I give a visit to your sect in the future." Zack said in a annoyed tone, he clicked that damned button for a few minutes just to be sure in this battle but it just lasted a few seconds…
He didn't even had to lift his hand up, even though the feeling of overwhelming someone with sheer power is quite exhilarating, he still expected some hardcore action where he had to lose some blood or whatever.…. Tsk.
"I don't get it, why are you still standing there shamelessly? You want me to give you a goodbye hug or soemthing."
Yueli's ears turned red when she heard his words, no one knew if it was from humiliation or embarrassment…
She glanced at Qingyue one last time who was giving her a apologetic look and then left the room…
"You didn't have to be so rude to master" Qingyue voiced at with some anger in her voice, she was silent but that doesn't mean she appreciated him humiliating her master.
"You now belong to me, Qingyue, She wanted to take away something from me forcefully… I think I was polite enough." Zack said as he sat on the bed without any reservations.
Qingyue couldn't refute him, even though he was rude he didn't even touch her master, so it would be pointless to argue.
"By the way, are you ready?"
Qingyue nodded and said "I just have to talk to my father before leaving… um.."
She seemed like she wanted to ask him something but was reluctant to do so.
Zack saw her expression and asked "Do you want to ask something?"
"..um... can you… can you repair someone's crippled profound veins." Qingyue asked with some reluctance in her voice.
"Oh, do you want to repair Yun Che's profound veins?"
She nodded her head at him in agreement.
"Why do you think I will be able to heal him? It's not like I'm perfect." Zack asked with amusement and curiosity.
"I didn't knew, I just wanted to ask you if you can." Qingyue explained in a calm voice.
"I may be able to help him but why do you want to help him so badly to even go as far to even ask me a favor."
Qingyue bit her lower lip and said after a few moments "I don't know, even if we weren't supposed to marry, we still bowed down in front of heavens, if I have any method to help him then I will."
Zack frowned after hearing her reply, for some reason he felt like he was some sort of villain who is getting in between of male and female lead.
He pondered something for a few moments and then said with a firm voice "I will help him… But, in return you will rip that marriage certificate and will not have anything to do with him in future…"
Qingyue heard the offer and without even a shred of hesitation took out the marriage certificate from God knows where and freezed it, the certificate fell to the ground and broke in pieces.
There was nothing in between Qingyue and Yun che in the first place, so Qingyue didn't had anything to lose in the first place, there was no hesitation in her actions because she also didn't wanted to have to do anything with Yun che after she goes with Zack.
Zack didn't had any healing skills so he opened the shop in search for something and sure enough…
[Shop]
[Skills]
[- Biological manipulation(10,000 SP):The user can manipulate life on a cellular level, including but not limited to, genetic alterations and physical distortion and/or augmentations of biological functions. They can cause cells to augment to induce advanced or declined biological healing, induce diseases like cancer, induce appearance alteration, manipulate pheromones, and even increase physiological maturity.]
Zack wasn't even surprised anymore even after reading the description of the skill, he was already OP, so this didn't come to shock him that much.
He chose this instead of a simple healing skill because it was more efficient and most importantly, he can even make his own profound veins now, another reason why he didn't cultivate was because due to coming from another world he obviously didn't have a set of profound veins, but now that problem was solved.
"Alright, let's go. Today will be the last day you will see each other as acquaintances." Zack bought the skill using SP and then said to Qingyue.
He was confident in healing Yun Che's profound veins as he assumed that even profound veins should be made up of cells right? Then he will just make a new set of veins for him after destroying his previous ones.
Qingyue talked to her father for sometime before arriving at Zack's side again.
Zack used his skill cosmic shift to teleport both of them to cyan forest town, according to his guess Yun che should still come to this city first.
Sure enough, after looking for a few moments he found him…
Yun che was running while the people from the Xiao sect were chasing him like in the novel, this time Xiao kuangyun was just pissed at the being humiliated like that, not to mention he couldn't acquire Qingyue or lingxi.
He saw Yun che in an inn in this town while they were going back to the Xiao sect, He remembered Yun Che's face and ordered his minions to kill him.
Yun che was cornered by Xiao kuangyun's minions right now, in the novel at this moment Jasmine woke up and helped him but it seems this time Zack has to help him.
Zack pulled out a sword from his inventory, the sword wasn't anything special, just a steel sword he made when he was bored and wanted to test his blacksmithing skills.
He gave the sword a swing and the sword intent flew in the form of a golden arc like he wanted.
The minions didn't even got a chance to look back before their head were separated from their bodies.
Zack didn't cared much about Yun che but he had to keep his promise with Lingxi.
Watching the headless corpses, Zack had a nauseous feeling in his stomach, his hand which was clenching the sword were trembling…
This is the first time he had killed a human being so it was bound to be like this, he predicted that he will have to kill someone eventually but the feeling of killing someone wasn't exactly pleasant.
He immediately used 'Calm mind' to push down all the negative emotions, his hands stopped shaking and he felt much better…
He looked down to see that Yun che was looking at both of them, well more specifically he was looking at the floating figure of Qingyue with surprise…
Zack along with Qingyue both descended to the ground in front of Yun che who was still looking at Qingyue.
"Qingyue my wife, what are you doing here? No, why are your with this man?" He voiced out his inquiries.
Qingyue just shook her head a little and said in a soft calm voice: "I am not your wife, I have already ripped the marriage certificate, as for why I am with him is my business."
Yun che frowned after hearing her words, he wasn't exactly surprised that she divorced him but it was still not exactly what he hoped for, after all who would want to divorce someone as beautiful as her.
In the original timeline, Yun che used the pretense of releasing the cold in her body to open her profound entrances while tricking her into showing her naked back to him, but in this timeline due to Zack's interference these events didn't took place.
Yun che didn't voice out his complaints as it would be hypocritical after he is the one who told her that she can do whatever she wants, instead he looked at Zack and said
"Thank you for saving me from them, I will repay you in the future."
"No need, I saved you on my own violation, We are here beacuse Qingyue asked me to heal your profound veins."
Yun che showed a surprised Expression while saying "That means you can heal my profound veins?"
Zack just nodded his head and closed the distance between them, he placed his hand on Che's shoulder and closed his eyes.
Che didn't back off from him, after watching Zack finishing off Xiao kuangyun's minions he knew that Zack could kill him easily.
Zack saw Che's whole cellular structure in his mind, he saw some time of branch like extensions like nervous system reaching all the body parts which he recognized as profound veins.
He used biological manipulation to reconstruct his veins again from cellular level, Yun che clenched his teeth in pain while the process was going on.
Zack could've made the process easier for him but why would he do so?
After a few minutes, the process was over, Zack could've finished in a few seconds but he didn't knew why he wanted Yun che to suffer.
Yun che fell to his knees with beads of sweat rolling down from his face, Zack estimated that the process was even more painful than fusing the evil god's blood.
While fusing evil god's blood, one's profound veins get destroyed and a new set of profound veins are created but the process Yun che went through reconstructed the damaged profound veins which were crippled back to their original state.
Yun che didn't resent Zack for anything, in fact he was baffled by how easily Zack healed him, even his master from azure cloud continent couldn't pull off something as absurd like this.
He looked at Zack with a new light, before he thought that Zack was a young master of down sect but now he respected his skills genuinely.
Zack turned around and looked at Qingyue "I have healed his veins like you wanted, now it's time to go."
Qingyue nodded her head, even she was impressed at Zack's proficiency in healing.
Yun che wanted to say something to Qingyue but before he could Zack teleported both of them to Xiao clan or more specifically to lingxi.
Lingxi has already talked with Xiao lie about everything, Xiao lie agreed to letting lingxi go because he also personally saw how domineering Zack was, he felt that lingxi will be safe with him.
Lingxi was right now sitting in her room with a nervous expression when suddenly both Zack and Qingyue appeared out of nowhere.
"Kyaaa" Lingxi gave a short exclamation of surprise but then instantly recognized them.
"I hope you had enough time to pack up." Zack commented casually.
Lingxi nodded her head, she was relieved when she saw Qingyue with Zack.
Zack didn't asked twice and teleported again but this time with Lingxi too.
The trio appeared in the air few miles above the ground, Qingyue was confused while Lingxi had stars in her eyes to be able to fly like this….
Zack chuckled at their expressions, he gently patted lingxi head who was brimming with enthusiasm, that is the reason he liked her.
Lingxi feeling the gentle touch on her head reflexively jerked her head back a little.
Zack wasn't disheartened by this, instead he said in a calm voice "This is the place where we are going to live from now on."
His words caused the two girls to be even more confused, they will live in air?
Zack waved his hand a little and out of nowhere a barrier became visible to all of them…
This was a house Zack bought from the shop, the previous one was also good but it was always a hassle to find a good piece of land, so he instead bought a floating house which will be in the air…
It can't be seen by anyone from below, the proof of this was the fact that the girls couldn't see it even when they were so close.
Not to mention, Zack has placed dozens of protective formations on this house making it the safest place in the universe.
Since the energy used while making the barriers were made with Mana, it should be logically impossible for anyone from this universe who use profound energy to breach it.
For the one's like Qingyue and lingxi who will be staying here, they will have to record there profound signature on the formation to come and go as they please.
Zack made some hand signs and a alter looking stone appeared in front of him
"place your hands and send your profound energy in this alter a little."
Both of them followed his instructions and placed their hands on the alter.
Zack nodded his head and said "Let's go inside now, by the way there must be a tattoo which appeared in your left hands, you can send your profound energy to it and you will teleport here whenever you want."
Both the girls looked at the mark on their hands with awe, this was like a whole new world to them…
Not to mention the fact that the house was I the air, they didn't even recognize the design of the house… From the inside the house was very strange but at the same time very beautiful.
Zack showed the whole layout of the house to them, when they reached the room where Jasmine was in, Zack explained to them that she was poisoned and is still recovering from that.
Qingyue seemed unperturbed but lingxi shed some tears for the cute unconscious girl.
After that, all of them were sitting on the couches at the living room.
It was almost night now after all that happened today,
"I am going to cook something for dinner, you girls want something in particular."
Both of the girls shook their heads immediately, now that night has come they were more nervous for obvious reasons.
Zack didn't minded their actions and just went to kitchen and started cooking something.
"What should we do, sister in law? I am so nervous already." Lingxi asked Qingyue with an anxious tone.
"I am not your sister in law, and I also don't know." Qingyue answered back.
Even if both of them agreed to the deal, it was still not like they were hoping for something to happen, they still hoped that Zack would be a person with decent character.
After the time they had interacted with each other, they didn't think he was a bad person but even after that it was inevitable for them to think about worse scenarios.
It took Zack 15 minutes to fill the table with several dishes, the aroma from the spices in the food was enough for them to forget about anything else temporarily and focus on the foreign stuff in front of them.
Qingyue took the first bite and she didn't had a change in her expression but her speed of eating was nothing to scoff at.
Lingxi was more unreserved and was not stingy with her praises
"This food is so good, Zack. Did you really made this?"
"Will you also teach me how to cook like this?"
Lingxi requested while giving him the puppy eyes subconsciously, Zack was unprepared for the sudden attack and immediately agreed.
He clenched his chest while he thought in his mind 'She is dangerous.' while the girls looked at him confused at his actions.
"Lingxi, I made sure that the people from Xiao sect doesn't hurt Yun che. I also repaired his profound veins so you don't have to worry anymore."
Lingxi's eyes widened after hearing his words, she couldn't believe her own ears, repaired his profound veins? Was that even possible?
But after what she saw today, she was able to accept his words, she looked at him with a grateful expression and said
"Thank you, Zack. I can't thank you enough after what you have done."
Zack nodded his head and said "Qingyue, I heard that your brother has gone to the new moon profound palace, right?"
Qingyue nodded her head,
"Hmm, I will help him a little later when I have time."
Qingyue showed an grateful look, from what she had seen Zack always makes sure to keep his words, so she naturally believed his words, she knew his prowess so she was extremely grateful when he told her that he will help her brother.
They talked like this while eating, one would not be able to tell that it was the first time they were eating together like this, they looked like an happy small family like this.
Zack was happy with this type of atmosphere, everything he planned for last few days and did was for this moment, he wanted to be in this type of atmosphere.
But everything has to come to an end, the dinner ended, girls helped Zack to clean up the table and with dishes.
After that they hurriedly started walking to their room, they didn't knew why they did that but it was a silly hope they developed in mind…
"Where are you both going? Aren't you forgetting something?"
A voice came from behind much to their fear and their footsteps froze in their places….
