36 Fake News & New Goals

"What do you mean Vasari is on the Knights&Fairies Manasite?"

"It means that Vasari has an article written about him. It's written by someone named Alina Vessels from The Eternal Tower."

"Oh and what does she say in the article?"

" 'Recently images have been frequently uploaded on the Mananet of a young man with breathtaking facial features, has taken the Mananet by storm. From billions of likes to thousands of fan clubs forming every day, images of this young man have caused plenty of commotion but…are these images real or fake?'."

"Dafuq does she mean if it's real or fake? People in the sect have literally seen Vasari with their own two eyes. How can she so blatantly lie to everyone?"

Asher was truly annoyed by this article, it made zero sense why someone would post this when it was so easy to prove Vasari's existence. Her reputation as a journalist would plummet.

"Asher you have to remember that only those inside the sect have seen him and even then it's only a handful compared to the overall population of Outer Haven. So out of billions of people who have seen images of Vasari only a few hundred have seen him in person."

Hassan explained his thoughts about the situation which after thinking about it, made some sense to Asher and Timo. Many adopted the phrase 'seeing is believing' when it came to the world since there were things that just looked so unbelievable.

"What else does she say?"

"She goes on to say a few things about how a new Manasite was being created where it is possible to edit images to your liking and that one of the main developers might be testing it out. Those were just one of the ridiculous theories she mentioned. She even mentioned that Vasari might be artificially created hahaha."

"Haha, that's funny."

Clang!

"Enough talking, let's eat."

Vasari placed everyone's breakfast on the dining table, not before serving Witney first of course. What kind of man would he be if he didn't serve the lady first?

The roommates enjoyed their breakfast before heading out to school.

As Vasari was about to leave, Witney stopped him. "Aren't you forgetting something?", Vasari frowned in thought before he remembered the 4 problem children currently playing in the lounge.

He couldn't leave the cubs alone at home as it was certain that the place would be an absolute wreck when they came back from school. He could put them into his eyes sub-space but there were 2 reasons why he didn't want to. First was that Witney would find it suspicious if the cubs suddenly disappeared without warning and second was that he didn't want the cubs near his eggs.

The sub-space of his Heavenly Eyes was completely different to a spatial ring or spatial bag in that it can store living things inside. It was easier to imagine it as a different dimension that was owned by Vasari.

The only solution he could come up with to his cub's dilemma was to take them to the Cloud Stables where they would stay while he went to school and pick them up after.

He told his plan to Witney who agreed.

"Vasari how about we get them collars and leashes after school then we can walk them and take them to school with us."

"They are wild beasts, Witney. Putting a collar on them and walking them like pet dogs will ruin their survival instincts. The Alpha I fought against could be considered a genius amongst beasts and the four of them are his children meaning they could have similar if not greater potential than him if we can provide them with the best of the best resources and train them properly."

Every day Vasari noticed how domesticated all the mounts and beast companions around the sect were compared to their wild counterparts. It ruined their potential and made their mentality and survival instincts weak. It was this reason why when he touched that Roc after the sect examinations, it shivered in fear even though it could squash him like a bug.

He did not want his wolves to end up like that, so he refused to treat them like house dogs. Well…except for spoiling them for breakfast only because it's the most important meal of the day.

Witney puffed her cheeks in frustration before ignoring Vasari and turned her attention to Bing and Cupid, who were snuggled comfortably in her arms.

"Daddy is such a meanie. He just wants you to fight, fight, fight but my little babies don't want to fight, do they? No~no~no~, you don't want to fight do you~" Witney tickled and rubbed the bellies of the cubs causing them to kick the legs and whine playfully.

Vasari sighed in defeat and rubbed the belly of the two cubs he was carrying.

"Mo, Rian, it looks like you two are going to end up having to protect the family." The two cubs closed their eyes in satisfaction and enjoyed Vasari's attention.

Mommy's boys and daddy's boys were already forming in the cubs.

–––––

"Wow. 32 cloud points for 4 collars and leashes is overkill. No wonder couples don't want kids when they're young, it's too damn expensive."

Vasari complained as he walked to the Cloud Stables after going to Mounts R Us to buy collars and leashes for the cubs after Witney pleaded and convinced him that taking them for walks could be considered a training exercise for them.

"Well you did pay extra for having their names engraved on the collars.", Talia added.

"And you insisted on having the best quality material so that it wouldn't damage their fluffy coats," Witney added.

"Tch, still 32 cloud points is too much. It's no wonder why that store was so empty."

"Come on you sound like an old man. Let's hurry up and get the cubs, I feel like cultivating tonight."

The trio soon picked the cubs up from the cloud stables where they had to pay a 4 cloud point fee for the Cloud Stable services.

"Can I sleep over tonight?"

The sudden question by Talia caught Witney and Vasari off-guard. They were only a few minutes away from their houses when Talia asked to sleep over.

"Why?" Witney asked, she planned on cultivating for a bit before 'cultivating' for a bit with Vasari afterwards. Having Talia there would ruin her plans.

"Jiang Xia and Gia's class started their training exercise on Planet Acrilles today and I don't want to sleep in that house alone."

Seeing her best friend acting so shy, Witney didn't have the heart to refuse her request and accepted without even asking Vasari if it was alright. Not that Vasari had any problem with it in the first place. What man wouldn't want to sleep sandwiched between two gorgeous women? Only liars would say 'Not me'.

Witney sneakily glanced at Talia to her and saw her eyes, her lips and even her spirit smile in joy whenever she looked at Vasari.

A complicated expression surfaced on her face but quickly returned to her usual vibrant expression the next second.

Vasari easily noticed the changes in both of the girls but did not say anything. He knew that although she said that she would be ok with him having other women as well, Witney was just a 16-year-old girl who didn't want to share him with anybody. She was having the best time of her life living with Vasari, it felt as if they were happily married already and she didn't want that to change even if it was for her best friend.

"Are you girls worried about Gia and Jiang Xia now that you know that the teachers won't be helping the students?", Vasari changed the subject to brighten the mood a little.

"Not really, both of them are extremely talented and smart so I doubt they would land themselves in any kind of real trouble," Talia answered, Jiang Xia and Gia had similar backgrounds to herself and Witney meaning they had techniques and weapons that exceeded the level of the Mortal Ascension Realm.

"Oh isn't Jett in their class too? I was wondering why I didn't see him with Asher and the others during lunch. Wait Hassan should also be in their class, I hope he doesn't die.", remembering the shy and introverted boy who was so small and frail, Witney was worried that he would not make it out alive.

Vasari smiled when he remembered the first day he met Hassan. "You shouldn't underestimate him, he could be a wolf hiding in sheep's clothing."

"Vasari, do you have any plans this weekend?" Witney asked while scratching behind Bing's ears.

"I plan on training in the Elemental cultivation grounds, why?"

"This weekend is the friendly competition between our sect, Glacier Bay Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect which means you know who could be there."

"Ahh you're right but if I can remember correctly, Asher said only 10 core disciples were chosen from the Glacier Bay Sect meaning she might not come."

Talia listened in on their conversation and furrowed her brows slightly when she realised that Vasari was talking about another woman.

'Vasari knows a core disciple of the Glacier Bay Sect? I wonder who it is.'

––––—

"Achoo! Is someone talking about me?"

A woman with long flowing black hair sneezed while riding a top of a giant frozen eagle. The frozen eagle glided through the clouds with astonishing speeds that those in the Mortal Ascension Realm wouldn't even be able to see.

The woman was wearing a baggy black cloak covering the entirety of her body and a hood to hide her facial features.

"Mother is going to kill me when she finds out I snuck out of the sect but it will all be worth it once I get to see him again."

The woman spoke with a tone filled with longing and obsession as the face of a man she would never forget even after a thousand lifetimes appeared in her mind.

"Vasari, my love, I'm coming~."

–––––

"Uhh Vasari, are you alright? Why are your ears turning red?"

"Maybe someone is thinking about doing naughty things with me." Vasari teased the girl laying next to him who seemed to be a lot braver than when they first slept in the same bed together.

Before, Talia was reluctant and a bit shy to snuggle close to Vasari when in bed even though she would end up on top of him when she fell asleep. Now, she rested her head on Vasari"s chest and her body pressed against his.

Vasari could feel the contours of her voluptuous body on his and her accelerated heartbeat pounding in excitement.

Not to be outdone, Witney similarly rested her head on his chest and pressed her body against his, wrapping her legs around his legs and her thick outer labia pressed against his thigh. It was fortunate that Vasari had a chest broad enough to allow both of the girls to rest their heads without feeling cramped. He was glad that the muscles he worked so hard to grow and strengthen were being used as comfy pillows. How rewarding.

"Pervert."

"Dream on."

Both girls said at the same time causing them to giggle together.

Soon the girls fell into dreamland while Vasari planned when he would break through to the Supreme Qi stage. He wanted to reach the Nebula realm as quickly as possible but he did not want to neglect his foundation.

Having a solid base was crucial for success in the long term.

'5 months and a bit before I leave for the mission. Before then, I want to be at the peak of the Supreme Qi stage.'

With a new goal set, Vasari hugged the girls in his arms tighter and soon fell asleep.
