Sweet Rivalry

"Qingyue, let's go and play," Arjun shouted as soon as he entered the room without even knocking.

Qingyue stopped cultivating and said, "No, I am cultivating."

"Come on. No matter how much you cultivate, you will never be able to beat me. So stop competing and let's play." Arjun said, rolling his eyes.

Qingyue's lips twitched as she became angry. She stood up and made an arrow of ice and shot it towards Arjun.

Arjun tilted his head casually as he avoided the ice arrow. Qingyue greeted her teeth tightly.

Arjun smirked and said "Don't get angry. You don't look beautiful at all."

"Then stopped irritating me all the time," Qingyue complained as she pouted.

"Can't do that." Arjun shook his head and denied sagely.

Qingyue moved faster and tried to punch Arjun. Arjun giggled as he ran from there.

....

It's been 5 years since Qingyue was accepted by Shen Xi. And during these five years, both of them had come a long way.

Even though Shen Xi took her in for a selfish reason, she wasn't bad at heart. So she treated her and taught her like her real disciple.

She didn't hesitate to supply her resources for cultivation. However, most of the resources were absorbed by Arjun. Since he needed more energy than normal cultivators.

He was thankful that his absorption speed was a few times higher than normal cultivators.

Thanks to his birthright and the Dragon God's Inheritance, his physique was far stronger than his cultivation realm.

During these 5 years, Qingyue was his only playing partner. Even though he was older than him by soul age, he still liked to play such small games with her.

First of all, age was nothing but a number to cultivators. Second, there wasn't anything else other than playing with Qingyue for him to do.

There was no TV, No smartphone, nothing entertainable. He can either study, cultivate or play with Qingyue.

Because of this Qingyue was also open up to him and Shen Xi. She also shared with them about her mother.

She also got to know that they were actually in the Realm of Gods and her master was actually the strongest person alive in all primal chaos.

She also got to know about her mother's whereabouts. Shen Xi also asked her if she wanted her help with this matter. But she denied saying that she would take care of it by herself after she was strong enough.

Shen Xi also agreed with her decision. But she also had her own plan.

...….

Arjun ran out of the mansion and went towards the garden. Qingyue also chased after him and ran to the garden.

But she stopped only when she saw her master, Shen XI, reading a book inside the garden.

She moved her eyes from the book and looked at her son and daughter. She shook her head and sighed. She smiled softly knowing the reason for them running and chasing.

"Did he disturb your cultivation again?"

"No, we are playing master."

Arjun stopped when he reached Shen Xi and heard Qingyue. Shen Xi quickly grabbed his ear and scolded "Have I not told you to not disturb Qingyue?"

"Ah, ah. Mother, sorry."

"It's okay master. I was also getting bored from all the cultivation."

Shen Xi let Arjun go but she appeared before Qingyue as she head-chopped her with her hand, lightly.

"didn't I say to call me mother too?" Shen Xi said.

It happened not long after she arrived. She was envious of Arjun when she saw how much Shen Xi loved him and how close he was to his mother.

Noticing that he told her to call mother too instead of master. Masters were also fatherly/motherly figures to their students.

She was of course happy after hearing that. She cried due to happiness at that time. But she would still mix mother and master sometimes.

After all her master was very strong and she respected her a lot, more than she respected anyone.

"Sorry, mast.. Mother."

"Hmm. good."

Arjun came from behind and hugged Qingyue suddenly. She yelped at the sudden hug as she said "Arjun"

Sheng Xi shook her head and asked Arjun "Why are you here?"

"Mom, can we compete in the secret realm again?" Arjun asked as he looked at her with puppy eyes.

Qingyue was of course excited when she heard about the secret realm. Because this kind of competition could increase her battle experience.

As for the secret realm Arjun was talking about, it was a small space that Shen Xi created for them with a lot of magical beasts inside. They were ferocious and pretty hard to kill. But to them, it was still manageable. The only problem was there were many of them there.
