32 Chapter 32

The sun was brightly shining.

Walking down the Glory City, Ye Qi stretched his back. He really missed the warm rays of the sun when he had been at the Abyss Prison realm.

On the other hand, the visitors he had brought with him appeared to be astonished by what they are seeing.

"So, this is the Glory City," Hongyue said as she jumped up ten meters in the air, and looking over to the market.

"Yes." Shen Xiu nodded strictly, hinting for Hongyue not to jump around like a child.

"Wow. Someone even selling the food on the street."

Hongyue was confused. Why no one is attacking that man for his meal. People in her world were starving, so that sight was something new for her.

"You can tell, Wow." Shen Xiu rolled her eyes.

Ye Qi chuckled, thinking that she is cute with her flapping her wings while she was looking around.

"Go and buy yourself something, and then come back to the City Lord Mansion. You can sense my soul force and come back. Oh, and I don't need to tell you to keep your identities secrets"

Ye Qi threw some money papers toward Hongyue and Duan Jian.

"I will be staying. I rather training." Duan Jian half-closed his eyes.

Despite being seduced by the smell of street food, Duan Jian had a goal in his mind.

He would prefer to get stronger and then whip Sikong Yi, before leaving the latter to suffer his life as a slave.

"How much I'm allowed to spend."

Hongyue held the papers within her hand. It didn't take a genius to understand that they are the currency here, unlike her world where people trade with food.

"That much. Now, you don't attack other people." Ye Qi said. "If they attack you, or showed little ill intention, you are allowed to defend yourself and attack them. After finishing touring, come back to the mansion and say you are my subordinate."

Hongyue, after giving a slight nod, turned, flapped her wing, and landed in the middle of the market.

"Are you sure it is a good idea?" Shen Xiu said. "She is young and good looking." People in this world prefer big butts. Hongyue would be targeted by that.

"Don't worry. She is Black Gold now. She can take care of herself." Ye Qi said.

Suddenly, across the market, everyone saw someone flying up in the sky, with his arms and legs were broken.

Ye Qi pointed there, "See?"

"You don't care about anything, do you?"

"I can about you."

Shen Xiu just smiled.

Soon, their group reached the City Lord mansion.

Ye Qi took a deep breath. 'Sweet home.'

"I will be seeing your mom, Hong's mom, before seeing the City Lord." Ye Xiu put his hands behind his back. "Until then, don't spoil the surprise, I don't want to be disturbed."

"Reaching the Legend rank improve the vigour, doesn't it." Ye Qi remarked.

When someone reaches the Legend rank, their life span extends dramatically, almost giving them a double life span of what they should have.

Ye Xiu, whose hair had been grey, must be feeling young now, like someone in the middle of his thirties.

"Don't ask questions you don't want to hear their answers." Ye Xiu then vanished from the sight.

Ye Qi went back to his courtyard, giving one house to Duan Jian, so he can train there.

Ye Qi thought of searching the library, since it may contain a method to reawaken Jian's bloodline.

But that would be left for later.

Now, Duan Jian has to improve his spiritual power.

Other than that, with only his physical body, Duan Jian would be only the one who benefits, since Black Dragons are known for incredible defence power.

-x-X-x-

Ye Qi had a smile. Each one of his arms was hugging a girl: Ye Ziyun and Ning'er. His face, on the other hand, was resting on Lanruo's boobs.

These were his fiancees. The top three young beauties in Glory City. Just by seeing them, Ye Qi felt that he missed a lot of life when he had been in the Abyss Prison realm.

"I missed you girls."

He said as he pushed his face closer to Huyan Lanruo, who wrapped her arms around his head and pushed him to her chest, before resting her chin on him.

"Don't worry, this big sister will take of her brother."

Ye Qi had been gone for some weeks, and they had been missing him, a lot. He knew that when he could smell the aroma of cooking on Ning'er.

"I have cooked a lot of meals for you. Come closer." Ning'er said with a blush. She felt something hard from Ye Qi hitting against her crotch. And she could tell what it is. But, she never pulled back, instead, she pushed her soft body to him.

Ye Ziyun, on the other hand, expressed her love by kissing his neck while he is kissing her back. It helped him to get excited down there quickly.

"Do you want to kiss, all of you?" Ye Qi said as he took his face back from Lanruo's chest.

The three looked at each other.

"We will take turns."

Ning'er suggested. "Absolutely."

Ziyun nodded. "Just one by one."

Lanruo crossed her arm on her chest. "I'll go first, you girls are too young and need less than me."

Very soon, a fight almost happened between Lanruo and the other two. However, Ye Qi quickly found the solution and said he would kiss them one by one.

"Come on, I'll tell you about my and Shen Xiu's adventure," Ye Qi said as he guided them to his house.

As it seems, they ended up in an awkward position. Ning'er and Ziyun sat on his lap. He, on the other hand, sat on Lanruo's lap while they kissed.

Soon, when Hongyue came soon with a guard, Ye Qi got out of the awkward position and stood up straight.

Lanruo giggled from the back while Ning'er and Ziyun had a blush while looking to the side.

Soon, their facial expression changed when they saw Hongyue coming closed to Ye Qi.

When he saw their faces, Ye Qi faked a cough and said. "Let me explain…"

He then made a story, saying that her family owes him, and he ended up being her master and mentor.

He couldn't just simply tell that he put Soul Shackles on her and her family without telling the long story of how they fought, which may take up the night.

So, he let it go with ease.

"And she is just your subordinate." Lanruo looked at the girl who was the same age. Even though her boobs were bigger, Hongyue had thicker thighs and curvier butt. And she was nice looking. Lanruo just tightened her gaze on her.

"Yes." Ye Qi said.

Hongyue just gave them a glance before looking at Ye Qi, as if waiting for his next order.

"Rest in that house," Ye Qi pointed to one place in his courtyard.

The young masters like himself has a lot of houses in their courtyard, with their own home being the best one.

Hongyue, looking over her new house, nodded and gave a slight bow to Ye Qi.

The girls around Ye Qi, looking at the new beauty, half-closed their eyes.

Ning'er was bitting on her lip though.

The newcomer was taking the attention of their fiancee.

They needed to do something to get that back.

Ning'er quickly held Ye Qi's arm and said. "Ye Qi, you must be hungry, I made some food for you, let's eat."

"Oh, you are hungry," Hongyue said, not knowing what's going on. "I brought a lot of street food. I couldn't complete it alone, and never thought it would be that cheap. Here, eat the rest, it's still hot, Master."

Since the food was so cheap, she didn't hold herself from eating.

She had bought some extra, thinking about taking them back.

But as it seems, as long as Ye Qi is paying her, she would bring more than enough to her world.

When Ye Qi held the lunch boxes, Hongyue didn't expect that Ning'er to glare at her with her teeth clenched.

'What's with her.' Hongyue lifted an eyebrow when she made eye contact with Ning'er. Why is this girl is showing hostility? 'Probably she is jealous.'

"Ye Qi," Ning'er turned and looked at Ye Qi, expecting him to choose between her and the newcomer.

Ye Qi just shook his head upon hearing Ning'er and put Hongyue's food in his storage ring.

On the other hand, Lanruo was just glaring at the brown-haired winged woman.

"Go and pack your things." Ye Qi said to the winged girl.

Hongyue just nodded. "Call me when you need me." And she then left.

"Ye Qi, where did you find her," Ning'er said, somehow not liking the silver-winged girl.

"Ning'er, don't take it easy. She is Black Gold Demon Spirutalisst." Answered Ye Ziyun, who had been silent all along.

"You noticed that too." Lanruo talked.

"She didn't bother hiding her base." Ye Ziyun, who spent her life surrounded by many Black Gold ranks spiritualists, nodded.

"What!" Ning'er opened her eyes widely and put her hands in front of her mouth.

She was planning to go later to Hongyue and give her some warning about messing around Ye Qi and his food.

She even planned to pull Hongyue's hair.

But, now, she seemed that she needs to fix her calculation.

"Don't worry about her. Anyway, since you could tell that she is near that level. Tell me, what level did you reach." Ye Qi asked.

It was time for him to know about the girls. Since he had given them cultivation methods, they should be at a higher level.

That's the case for Ning'er and Ye Ziyun, who had the cultivation-speed-tripling gemstone around their necks.

Lanruo said she is 4th-star Silver rank, with a wink on her face.

She seemed to be so proud.

However, that face turned into astonishment when she heard that Ning'er was at the fifth.

Moreover, Ye Ziyun, who had been quiet, said she is at the peak of Silver Rank, and she is just a few steps away from reaching the Gold rank.

"That's my cousin." Ye Qi just smiled and patted Ye Ziyun's back.

However, no one here felt they accomplished something, due to the fact that there is someone who is 15 years old and is Black Gold.

"I will beat her level before reaching her age," Ning'er said, determined, clenching her little fist.

Ye Qi held his chuckle, seeing that little cute action of her.

"Yes. We will do it, sister." Ziyun looked at the house which was being packed now.

"I already passed that age. Anyway, Ye Qi. When these two maniac girls don't give you enough time. You know where to find your big sis." Lanruo rolled her eyes on the inexperienced girls.

"Oh." Ye Qi raised his eyebrows as he looked at them, and he smirked.

Each one of his girls was very talented.

It would be a good time to give them a small training chance.

Ye Qi decided to waste some time talking while waiting for Hongyue to come.

Very soon, when Hongyue arrived, and no one looked at her, like she was a stranger, except Ye Ziyun, who gave her space to sit.

"Now, girls." Ye Qi raised his hands, and a big bag full of Blood Crystals appeared in front of them. "Put this in your storage rings and use them. It will help you reach the gold rank faster."

Ye Qi looked at the happily surprised expression of the girls and the excitement on their faces. It made him feel something inside, something moving. He just missed them.

Probably he will teach them how to refine their bodies with soul force later. Now, he needs to smash something.

"Mm… look at the crystals. Hongyue, show them how to use them. You, come with me."

Ye Qi took with Lanruo's hand, guiding her behind the tree while leaving Hongyue teaching the others how to use the blood crystals.

"Where are we going." Lanruo's chest jiggled as Ye Qi was dragging her from the wrist. "We can't do something improper before the wedding."

Ye Qi needed to release some stress.

"Just a foreplay." Ye Qi said as he stopped, rested his hand on her chest cupping her breast, and leaned forward. Their leaps sealed each other, his hands playing, and her hand was sneaking slowly beneath his pants.

She took her lips back, feeling fluffy after the kiss with the tongue.

"I can help you releasing stress." She then smashed his lips with hers.

Meanwhile, the ground shook a bit.

As it seems, his father reported the news about reaching the legend rank.

Yet, Ye Qi ignored the news as soon as Lanruo's hand slipped between his pants and started rubbing slowly…

-x-X-x-

The night arrived.

While the elders of the Snow Wind family were dealing with the happy, yet shocking, the surprise of Ye Xiu reaching the Legend Rank, someone was feeling suspicious.

"So, my sister is back."

Shen Hong rubbed his chin while looking at the main affair elders, who was in the corner.

"Yes, our spies had reported so." Shen Ming said as looked at his patriarch. "Should we tell her to start sending the information."

"It wouldn't be wise to do so…"

Shen Hong closed his eyes. He had a bad feeling.

Last week, he had come to visit his sister in the City lord mansion. However, she hadn't been there, as Ye Qi reported that he was going on a trip. At that time, Shen Hong thought that it's okay. After all, he still has the Soul Shackles on her, in case she thought of doing something stupid.

However, now…

"I can't feel the link." Shen Hong said as he opened his eyes widely.

The feeling that he lost something, had been bothering him a few days ago. Now, he could understand it.

"Are you sure, Patriarch?" Replied Shen Ming as he raised both of his eyebrows.

Wasn't it quite impossible to encounter the Soul Shackles?

Maybe something is wrong with his sense or something.

"I know what is happening," Hong answered. "I just sent a soul force serge to the City Lord mansion… she is back, but…" he lowered his head. "The soul shackles, I feel that I just can't activate them."

"What… this…" Shen Ming expressed his astonishment.

Shen Hong put his hands behind his back and walked to the window, before looking at the courtyard and the people of his family training.

"But, isn't impossible. No one knows about the pattern except the Dark Guild leaders! And of course, there is no way for someone to know, if there is any, a way to counter it."

"Hush…" Shen Hong's body glowed in a red aura that represented his unleashed soul force. "Lower your voice."

"My apologies." Shen Ming went on his knees.

He just realised his stupid mistake. After all, not everyone in the family knows about their alliance with the dark guild, except for the higher up, who has their families' lives in the hand of the patriarch.

Even though most of the higher-ups are against Shen Hong's selfish decision and mistake of alliance with Dark Guild, no one can do anything.

Just with a simple order, Shen Hong can take everyone's family life.

Shen Ming just lowered his head. Whatever will happen, the Sacred family is still his family. Helping them win is his job.

"Anyway, there may be a way for them to do that."

"You mean, him?" Shen Ming opened his eyes widely. The patriarch maybe is right.

"Yes, her husband." Shen Hong nodded.

During the weeks that Ye Qi and Shen Xiu had been absent, Shen Hong made sure to send low-level spies to the City Lord Mansion.

He had known that a new genius managed to recover some of the ancient knowledge, and even some good inscriptions patterns.

That genius identity seemed to be well protected and only known by the City Lord and a few of his minions.

However, Shen Hong realised something. During the time Ye Qi was absent, the Snow Wind family seemed to stop gain secret knowledge anyway.

Shen Hong couldn't remain calm at that time, knowing that the Snow Wind family had new cultivation methods that were getting them stronger by the moment.

Still, without enough time, the Snow Wind family can't get stronger than him.

'They won't get a little stronger by the time I would be striking.'

——— Meanwhile:

At the City Lord mansion.

Ye Xiu stood up, facing all of the elders of the Snow Wind Family.

In his hand, there was a large bag, full of crystal-like.

He threw it forward with a proud expression on his face.

All of the elders and the young Gold Rank spiritualists, and even fighters, opened their eyes widely.

"Blood Stone!"

"Oh my god! Such rare material, and with this amount."

"It would help the whole family to get stronger so fast."

Even the black gold rank elders showed their interest and examined the stones.

"Brother, where did you get this from." Ye Zong patted Ye Xiu's arm and asked.

"My son. He said he wanted to have this as a wedding gift to your daughter." Ye Xiu said, looking at his older brother.

"I may even reach legend Rank after some years with this." Ye Zong said. "What a good son you have."

"I know. Hahaha…" Ye Xiu laughed.

(Ye Zong, in Nie Lie's timeline, had refused to use the blood crystals from Nie Lie since it would mean selling his daughter.)

Ye Zong just smiled and patted his back, smirking.

He then looked at the rest of the family's elders who had been gathered for this secret meeting.

"Alright, it would be split according to your rank. Black Gold would get the highest share. The Gold Rank would get four stones. While the Silver Rank ones would get two stones. Make sure that everyone knows to keep their mouth shut.

— Back to the Sacred Family headquarter.

"It's very possible. He has married her, and he may notice it all along."

Shen Ming was smart enough to know what his patriarch is implying. Shen Hong narrowed his eyes. Shen Ming suddenly realised it and grabbed his hair with both hands.

"Crisis. We are no longer in control of Shen Xiu!" he had just realised what this means.

When Shen Hong gave him a strong glare, Shen Ming corrected himself.

"I mean, your control."

Shen Hong clenched his fist and punched the wall next to him, making it crack.

"It doesn't matter," Hong said angrily. "She is just free. Just a simple word of her, and we can't stop her from spitting our family's secret."

"Patriarch, are you sure. She is your little sister. I know. She is so proud of the family. I assure you. She would tolerate no insult to us." Shen Ming said, feeling afraid of the murderous aura that the patriarch is unleashing.

"She is pissed off. I know what a person can do when he is pissed off." Shen Hong put his hands behind his back. "Currently, she is thinking about what to do. Her beliefs are fading. She soon would calm down and make her decision. However, ruining my plans aren't up to her all along.

"I must do something before her denial state is over."

"What to do?" Shen Ming asked with his eyes widely opened on Hong's back.

"She has to join our father. She had been his favourite, after all." Shen Hong said as he lowered his head. "Some decisions are must."

"How about their genius, and how we were planning to control him."

"He has to go as well. He can't leave my sister alone, can he?" Shen Hong smirked.

It's better to weaken the Snow Wind family, so he may take his righteous place as the City lord.

That was Shen Hong's ambition. To achieve it, he is willing to sacrifice anything and anyone.
