Chapter 33

It was night. The full bright moon annihilated the stars that usually occupy that spot in the sky.

"So, you belong to the secret force of the Snow Wind Family."

Ye Qi crossed his arms and looked at the man who was kneeling on one knee in front of him.

"Yes, young master." Said the man.

Ye Qi didn't know how to feel.

The man was wearing Ninja-like clothes. However, in this world, they are called assassins.

'A few weeks ago, I was acting like an Italian Godfather, and now I'm tasking a Ninja, like their Dojo's master.'

Ye Qi didn't display the irony on his face.

Still, he wished he had a camera to film those moments.

"I have a task for you. Can you keep it a secret?"

"As long as it doesn't involve the safety of the City or the family, I'm yours to use."

"Your last clause sounds gay somehow."

Ye Qi commented, flinching.

The man, who had trained for his whole life flinched as well.

"I realise it. I am dishonoured by my own words. I shall kill myself."

He took a knife from his sleeve and was about to stab himself.

Ye Qi quickly sighed and held his hand, stopping him from suicide.

"If you feel regret, watch out for your words."

"Yes, young master."

"Now, I have a task for you. All you have to do is to watch over your tongue." Ye Qi. "Now, I want you to watch someone, his name Shen Fei."

The man was a Golden Rank fighter. He can do the spy on Shen Fei, as long as he looks from far. Ye Qi gave him the necessary orders, and the man got it finally.

"I understand."

He didn't question Ye Qi's intents. With a quick step, he vanished from the sight.

Ye Qi looked at the man's back. "Drama queen."

He then turned, cracked his back, and left for Shen Xiu's house.

Soon, the sounds of moans started to fill the air. Some of the other residents had no choice but to ignore it and continue focusing on their cultivation or flap their wings in frustration.

-x-X-x-

A day passed and Ye Qi had his girls in his courtyard. Hongyue was there as well. Just by looking at Ye Qi's face, the girls could tell that he didn't call them just because he missed them. Hongyue stretched her back, while the others were sitting across the yard.

Lanruo, however, didn't make it here. It seems her father has stopped her from coming. Shen Xiu, however, was sitting on the corner and observing Ye Qi, who seems to take the teacher's job from her.

"Alright, now, I have to introduce you to this."

Ye Qi threw some scrolls toward them.

"This." Ning'er opened it and started reading.

"Physical refining method that can be used while practising cultivating technique?" Ye Ziyun said.

All of the sudden, Shen Xiu got curious and went to Ye Qi, to see that he has more scrolls with him.

"I knew you would come." Ye Qi said

"Where did you get this from." Shen Xiu read it. As it seems, Ye Qi could create various styles of refining methods, depending on the nature of the soul force one has.

"Researches…" Ye Qi said as he lifted his head in pride.

'Sometimes my genius, it generates gravity.'

Soon, the girls started discussing this. Duan Jian got out of his courtyard after a long night of practising and took a scroll of his own.

"Though, it would be soon useless for you to have it." Ye Qi said to Jian.

"Why?" Duan Jian looked at Ye Qi.

"Because you will reach Legend Rank fighter without effort. If I were you, I would be just focusing on my cultivation base." Ye Qi said.

Duan Jian has a good method and blood crystals from the start. It won't be too much to say he may reach the peak of Black Gold in less than a year without awakening his bloodline. If his bloodline is awakened, his cultivation would grow faster to legend. After all, not many know that the supreme physical body plays a huge role in the speed of absorbing soul force.

Hongyue, on the other hand, was glaring at Duan Jian. She knows about his plans about whipping her dad. If there is a way for her to stop him, she thought, it would be to get as strong as possible faster than anybody. However, the only possible way was to follow Ye Qi, get his favour, and thus, another cultivation method.

She took a sneak peek at one of the methods Ye Qi introduced and sat down to cultivate quickly. At first, she wondered why Ye Qi's method is so different from their families' since he took that from them. However, Ye Qi seemed to know what he is doing. And she knows that she doesn't question someone younger and stronger than her.

While doing so, she got the attention of the other girls.

"Disturbing," Ning'er said. The Black Gold rank would always get the most of the near soul force. Ye Ziyun agreed with her with a nod and went to sit next to Ye Qi and Shen Xiu.

"Seems she has talent. She may get useful for me, in case she gets a cultivation method."

Believe it or not. Ye Qi felt annoyed. Just seeing the wrong way she cultivates made him want to roll his eyes.

However, the fact she is Black Gold now without proper cultivating method shows a good talent.

Nie Lie may have boasted how talent doesn't play role in cultivation. But that was only until heavenly routes were introduced — making Nie Lie admit that there are talent standards in a higher realm, not in the lower one.

Not to mention, in TDG, Ning'er and Ziyun, who had been the most talented of Nie Lie's group were cultivating faster. And Nie Lie's little cousin could even reach Black Gold without the help of resources.

So, when someone says talent doesn't play a role, he is being a little unrealistic.

Ye Qi then tapped on Hongyue' forehead. When she woke up, Ye Qi holding a scroll.

"Master…" Hongyue said. Her voice held a hint of annoyance. The cultivating process was sacred, and she wanted to enjoy cultivating under the sun. "Is there something?" She said while trying not to frown.

"You're doing it wrong." Ye Qi said as he started instructing her.

She opened her eyes widely and started following Ye Qi's instructions. They were so helpful that she felt herself getting better with his vocal guiding alone.

Meanwhile, Duan Jian, who was standing on the side, was feeling jealous.

"I have to surpass them all."

Duan Jian took his sitting position and started cultivating. The guy, surely, remembers his deal with Ye Qi. Ye Qi had done him a great favour. However, that doesn't mean that Ye Qi would forget what is best for himself. Jian won't forget his debt. However, he won't stay weak. Even if Ye Qi told him not to cultivate his body, he decided to cultivate both his soul and body.

Meanwhile, Hongyue was opening her eyes widely. The method that Ye Qi has given her was so profound. It matched the nature of her soul force, Thunder.

"Now, serve me well."

"I'll do." She said. "But first, can I go to the market."

"You're hungry? Again?"

Blushing slightly at the embarrassing remark, she didn't move her head and only blinked twice.

Ye Qi had a barely noticeable smirk. "Go to the kitchen, ask them to prepare some sweets. It's better than the food of the streets."

Hongyue had a silly smile as she stood up.

'This girl is all about her stomach.'

"She didn't even ask where is the kitchen." Shen Xiu patted Ye Qi's arm, before putting her hand in front of his face again.

"Well, she can smell food." Ye Qi shrugged his shoulder and went to his house. He then turned to Shen Xiu. "Aren't you going to follow me?"

Shen Xiu smiled, put her hand on her curvy hip, and followed Ye Qi while walking seductively.

-x-X-x-

Three days have passed.

Ye Qi was in his backyard, observing the progress of his subordinates and girls.

As it seems, Lanruo put some extra effort into cultivation, and she passed the ranks of Silver Rank quickly, with the help of blood crystals.

On the other hand, Xiao Ning'er was about to break through to the Golden rank, as she had reached the peak quickly, and, with the help of the amulet Ye Qi had given to her, it won't take more than few days to reach the Gold Rank.

Ye Ziyun, however, already broken through to the 1st Star Gold Rank.

This was most of the case for the Snow Wind Family who had gotten the crystals. Anyone who had a bottleneck could breakthrough, adding more Black Gold rank Spiritualists to the family.

Ye Qi just had a small nod as he looked over the mansion.

There that Ten Thousands Demon Spirit array protecting the mansion. And there is an extra array near the walls which were the nearest to the mansion.

Ye Qi had planned to use this beforehand. Now, Ye Qi thought about his progress. He is at the peak of the Silver Rank, physically.

All he needs now is some strong demon beast blood — blood essence — and he would soar in strength.

It can't be just any Demon Beast. After all, the weakest is just twice stronger physically than a fighter from the same rank. Meanwhile, those in Spirit Grade Demon beasts and Emperor Grade have physical bodies that are tens of times stronger than those who are in the same rank.

To Ye Qi, he preferred to get the blood of Demon beast which was already in black gold, or legend rank.

In case he got one in Black Gold, with no doubt, his physical body would be as strong as a legendary rank fighter.

Ye Qi was just a step away from becoming Gold Rank Fighter.

And, he needs few more weeks to reach the Black Gold.

Now, Ye Qi observed his other cards.

Duan Jian is about to break through to the Gold Rank. The progress was just fast because of Ye Qi's method and the blood crystals. Once he passes the gold rank, Duan Jian's speed would get very slow, unless he activates his bloodline.

Talking about it, Ye Qi had retrieved a lot of books about the history of the families. Especially the ones that contained the history of the Black Dragon family. He decided to look at them later.

Meanwhile, Hongyue seemed to be near the second Star Black Gold rank. She is strong now to be considered useful.

Ye Qi looked at her while thinking. 'Probably I would be exhausted if I have sex with her. Stamina matters.' Ye Qi made sure no one would hear him. Otherwise, the other girls would feel upset. It was just a mockingly remark … not mocking, though.

"Now, you are going to guard this place."

Ye Qi called Hongyue. She can be useful if he asked her to scout outside the Glory City. She can find

"Yes, master." Hongyue was obedient these days more than ever.

Ye Qi could only nod in satisfaction.

The other girls then surrounded him, reminding Ye Qi how good life is when being surrounded by hotties.

However, soon, Hongyue raised her sword all of the sudden and moved toward one spot, almost cutting a head that appeared from nowhere.

"Wait, wait." Screamed a man who was clothed in black-clothed,

"Someone is sneaking," Hongyue said, her sword is just a step from severing his head away from his body.

Ye Qi looked at the man. He was the drama queen that he had sent to spy on Shen Fei.

"Young master!" the Ninja-like said with cloudy eyes as he looked to Ye Qi.

"Master." Hongyue opened her mouth, "I felt him sneaking in the shadow. I will cut his head for you. He must be a spy to move sneakingly like this."

"Put your sword down." Ye Qi suppressed the urge to laugh after seeing the Ninja almost crying.

The Ninja guy had regained his calm facial expression.

Hongyue, seeing that Ye Qi knows him, snorted at him and put her sword on her back.

The Ninja flashed and appeared in front of Ye Qi, kneeling. "Young master, I have a report."

Ye Qi half-closed his eyes. He then looked at his girls and smiled.

"Alright girls. Continue training."

They smiled back at him. Ning'er immediately went back to cultivation while having a red crystal with her. She needed to break through, so she doesn't stay behind Ye Ziyun. And most importantly, the newest rival.

Ye Qi gave them his back and walked and stood behind the tree. The spy Ye Qi had been using didn't need to lower his voice. Instead, he transmitted it to Ye Qi's head.

"The Young master of the Sacred Family had been treating himself lately. For some reason, all of his cultivation nerves and veins are cut and needed an operation…"

Ye Qi had a smirk on his face. He was the reason for that.

"Continue." Ye Qi said as he leaned on the tree.

The drama queen Ninja continued.

"He currently regained his ability to walk, even though he has yet to recover. As we assumed, tonight, he is going to the secret brothel of the Divine Cave. It exists behind the market, the southern district…"

The ninja paused for a second and then said, "please, don't tell your father I told you about that place. Or anyone." He turned his eyes. Just a few seconds ago, Hongyue almost killed him. Seeing how many women are there, a strong one, he assumed that if Ye Qi went to that brothel, they would have their anger on the poor Ninja.

"Whatever." Ye Qi rolled his eyes. "So, you say he is going to be there tonight."

"Yes. He booked the place and many whores. He surely knows where to go. Xinxin is working tonight. Only if you see her curves, young master. With a sway, the sunflower will raise."

"Are you going to make a poem for a hoe?" Ye Qi lifted his eyes brows.

Ahem. Ahem. He faked few coughs before telling Ye Qi. "This is the report. Should I continue watching his moves?"

Ye Qi threw some red crystal and some money papers. The Ninja held them. Because of his training, he could suppress his happiness. However, Ye Qi's next words destroyed his hopes.

"Don't go to that brothel tonight, that's an order." Ye Qi said.

"Young master?" the Ninja complained. How can't he go after spying there all night? Although the prostitutes are whores, they are still one of the sexiest girls. Can't a ninja enjoy his life?

"Go to another place." Ye Qi gave his order, "or I'll tell that girl to follow you." He pointed to Hongyue.

"I understand." The Ninja then vanished.

-x-X-x-

"Oh my god."

Shen Fei groaned in pain. Currently, he was moving within the carriage, a secret one with a couple of his bodyguards — Gold rank.

Even though his cultivation is crippled now, Shen Fei can walk again. Being a young master is power itself.

"Now, guys, don't forget to protect me, and you know what else." Shen Fei said as he leaned back on the chair. His face showing a hint of seriousness.

"Yes. Spread the rumours about the young master of the Snow Wind family, and how awful he is."

The other Shen's men said with one voice.

"Good."

Shen Fei nodded.

This trip is for him to forget what had happened.

What Ye Qi has done to him had made a deep scar in his heart.

Not only did Ye Qi take his fiancee, one of the top beauties within the glory city's, a beauty he fantasied about him, and a beauty like his aunt, but he also made very deep wounds that made Shen Fei's future questionable.

The carriage stopped next to a building behind one of the districts in the main market of Glory City.

The people usually don't tour here. Unless someone dares to face his wife when he is not a cultivator in the first place.

"Sweet home."

Shen Fei said. As he landed out of his carriage, he didn't smile. He had a bad feeling. The picture of Ye Qi was flashing in his head again. Shen Fei wished for something to erase it from his head.

'Fine, I will find a way to kill him.' Shen Fei thought, suppressing a tear from his eyes.

In the future, he will make sure, that Ye Qi would test the poison, once he just finds a way to sneak to the house of the City Lord.

And then, he will make sure to take Ning'er back.

But for now, his goal is to fuck as many bitches as he can.

Lifting his hand and seeing it shaking, Shen Fei clenched his fist and stepped inside of the brothel.

Many hot women, half-naked, were walking with their curves exposed. Beauties wearing make up from all kinds, all of the colours, gathered here.

Shen Fei started forgetting his worries as soon as a fat titted mature walked past him.

That's right. Mature women, who have passed the age of marriage, would usually spend their lives here if they don't find a way to be useful to their family.

"Young master."

One of the bodyguards wanted to say something when he saw Shen Fei rise his hands.

"I'll be fine from here. I know this place as home. Wait for me outside."

Shen Fei walked toward the Pimp here and threw a bag of money. "Give me the curviest woman with the biggest butt and chest you have. Also, she has to be smooth and tall."

"Understood, young master." Said the pimp, quickly booking Shen Fei a private room.

Shen Fei was happy as the pimp guided him toward a specific direction.

He was facing a door in a private room.

A smile was drawn across his face as the thoughts of the blow jobs and kinky stuff flashed in his mind.

"You can enter."

Shen Fei opened the door and closed it behind it.

In front of him was a table, and a person covering their face with a fan.

"Are you shy?" Shen Fei smirked seeing that his order was covering her face and not saying a word.

He took a seat next to her and smirked. "Shy girls are my type."

"Funny thing."

Came a deep male voice. Shen Fei opened his eyes widely as he heard it. The voice was so familiar.

The fan was closed. The face of a handsome black-haired man with neck length hair appeared. He had purple eyes and a smirk on his face

"You, what are you doing here." Horrified, exclaimed Shen Fei.

"Don't worry. Your order, I had satisfied her long time ago. You don't have to worry about that in the next life."Ye Qi stood up slowly.

Before Shen Fei could even scream, a pitch-black blade grew out of Ye Qi's arm. The next millisecond, it turned into a black blur, before darkness took over the vision of Shen Fei
