Chapter 91: Explanation?

Yun Che heard a voice and it came from Retsu with a worried look on her face and Little Fairy who stood beside her. From the looks of it, she was also quite worried when he was quiet for a while. Retsu was already disengage her bankai back into her shikai form but still retains her fox form.

"Haha, it's you two." He shifts his head towards the source of the voice. Then before continued in his mind. "Sorry Jasmine, I'll continue later."

Little Fairy frown when she looked at him. "You okay, rascal? You seem quiet for some time."

"Oh, it's nothing really." Then, he winked his eyes at Retsu and she immediately understood it. All of a sudden, a streak of light came from the distance and arrived next to them. The streak of light then transforms into Kon who was carrying Cang Yue by the clothing on her neck since he was too small to carry her on his back.

"Everyone!! Thank goodness all of you are still alive. I was kind of worried." Kon finally let her go before transforming back into his plushy form while gasping. Looks like the damage he suffers from the dragon still lingering and he need some time to recover just a bit.

Then, Kon said to her. "What are you worried about? Look at your surroundings. Those enemies should be worried about them instead." Kon started to look at his surroundings. The battles really teared this place apart.

Yun Che slowly got up and brushes the dust off his clothes, whatever was left of it. "Well, you're kind of right about that." The battles one day might cause experts to come here just to conduct some research. It's not like they're going to find anything.

Cang Yue then continued with a happy expression. "Still, we did pull it off right?"

Then, Kon turned towards Yun Che and asked "What did those things do to piss you guys off?"

Yun Che do a thinking pose and look in the distance before saying "They didn't do anything. We just had fun executing bizarre techniques." His explanation causes Kon to sigh as these freaks tend to use bizarre techniques just to finish their opponents. If that happens, they'll destroy the continent one day just for fun.

"Now that everything's over. You two owe us an explanation." Little Fairy's voice got the attention of the still hollowfied Retsu and Yun Che.

Kon looked at her and asked "What explanation?"

"This and that." Little Fairy then touched Retsu's fox ears and pointed out Yun Che's hollow mask. "How did you two able to gain hollow like powers?"

She continued "First, you two had this 'bankai' abilities. Then, that giant energy ball, this so called 'Kido' arts and now this? Just who are you two?" The questions had been lingering on her mind for some time now and its about time she knew at least something about them. Cang Yue was also piqued her interest as she too wanted to know more about them. Little Fairy has been waiting to ask more on Kido as she only heard a vague explanation from them before. Probably its their first time meeting and they didn't trust her as much as right now.

Yun Che slowly looked at Retsu and Kon before nodding at them. Then he slowly spoke with convincing eyes and tone. "We're soul cultivators." Yun Che had to conceal the story about the Shinigami part. So far, the only one knows about it is Jasmine and he intend to keep it that way. Besides, these two are now the people Yun Che and Retsu trust with their lives aside from Jasmine.

Both Little Fairy and Cang Yue jinxed with each other. "Soul cultivators?"

"We cultivate our souls to become powerful enough to birth our own spirits as our powers. All of our weapons came from those spirits. Including those you saw during the banquet. Those bankai powers you two just seen are actually our spirits' full power. As soul cultivators, we cultivate spirit pressures. Those spirit pressures enable us to use those 'Kido' or 'Demon Arts.'"

Cang Yue was shocked that their bizarre arts like the dark tower and red smoke from before are actually called "Demon arts?"

"Yes, sister Yue. Demon arts can only be cultivated by soul cultivators like us. Ordinary cultivators can't cultivate them no matter how hard they tried." Retsu replied joining the conversation as well. Little Fairy and Cang Yue didn't actually get the whole truth but at least they know these two as soul cultivators.

"Demon or kido arts will be much powerful if we infused it with incantation. The ones you saw from the village and the banquet were arts without incantation. The one I just used is infused. That's why the sky was dark and the area was pressurized." Yun Che slowly explain.

"Incantation?" Cang Yue asked with a confused expression. The profound arts in this world are used without incantation and being setup using items. So the word 'incantation' probably doesn't ring any bell.

"Sigh, Incantation are spells you need to recite before you can use its full power. You can say its a countermeasure to prevent the spell from causing a mass destruction." He wouldn't want to see those powerful hado spells are used without restriction. If that happens, the continent would tear itself apart by that spell.

"How do you use the incantation? Can you show us?" Little Fairy and Cang Yue were on their curious mode. If he didn't show them, they will pester him.

"Sigh, all right." Yun Che then stood and raised his palm before aiming it towards the boulder in the distance. Then, he slowly said "Way of Destruction #33, Blue Fire Crash Down". Suddenly a giant blue comet like fire ball suddenly shot from his hand before hitting the boulder causing it to explode into pieces and created a small crater. Since he didn't infused much power, so the effects are least.

But to Little Fairy and Cang Yue, that kind of attack can take cultivators realms above them. Why didn't he used this before?

"So, what do you think?" He said with a relaxed expression.

Both of them widen their eyes at the damage that spell cause. Little Fairy was the first one to regain her composure before asking "That spell is incantation infused?"

"No, that was a usual one." His relaxed tone cause the both of them to be stumped. If that spell can cause this much damage so what happened if he used incantation on it? Then both of them saw he turned his head towards Retsu and nodded.

Retsu then started to chant "Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man!" As she was chanting, both Little Fairy and Cang Yue saw her arm was swirling with blue energy.

"Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws." Retsu slowly points her arm towards the nearby boulder and said "Way of Destruction #33, Blue Fire Crash Down."

Suddenly, blue lightning like energy started to came out from her hand and covers the whole sky with its dazzling light. The spell was so bright and large that both of them had to closed their eyes awaiting the result of the spell.

BOOM!!!!!

The moment they opened their eyes, they were greeted by a big trench going deeper into the ground. Judging by the looks of it, the spell was far stronger than Yun Che's 'ordinary' spell. When Yun Che looked at the full power of this spell, he remembered it was the same version Byakuya had cast on Renji during Rukia's execution.

Then, Retsu turned to the still gawking Little Fairy and Cang Yue. Kon wasn't that surprised as he saw various of kido spells Yun Che cast during his training in the trial area. "So, what do you think?" Retsu asked while smiling at them.

Both of them were speechless to the core. If they had this kind of spell all this time, why didn't they bother to use it? Is it weak? or too strong? These freaks, these monsters.

"Wow, you said this is the Way of Destruction #33? So there's.... more?" Cang Yue was stuttering as she was still recovering from shock. Little Fairy was speechless, then the kido Retsu used on her during their first fight was not even on par with this. Now she realized the gap between them despite being two big realms apart from her at that time.

"Yeah, Kido arts are divided into three ways. Destruction, Binding and Barrier. We didn't learn that much yet. The most common one was the one Retsu used during the banquet. That's Way of Destruction #1 - Thrust and the red smoke we used to escape, Way of Binding #21 - Red Smoke Escape. Each Ways have one hundred spells which starts with #1 being the weakest and #100 being the strongest except barrier arts which consist of 27 spells. We'll show you more in the future."

Yun Che turned towards Little Fairy and said "and the one I used to bind your snowball when we first met. That's Way of Binding #63 - Locking Bondage Stripes."

"One hundred?!?? Wow, but you said only soul cultivators can learn it right?"

Yun Che replied "Yeah, but not all soul cultivators can master all spells. Some of them died while mastering them." If that's the case then these two must be geniuses that can learn multiple kido spells.

Cang Yue was disappointed as she wished that she could learn these Kido arts. The only way for them to learn it is by turning into a Shinigami or Quincy. Which will never going to happen.

Little Fairy then asked "How do you two become soul cultivators?" If she is right, these two weren't able to cultivate profound energies and their strength are determine only on their own. But, both of them could categorized their strength according to the level of Profound cultivators.

"Well, we actually don't know the true process. Our souls were already empowered the moment we were born." Yun Che concealed the truth. The process of a human soul becoming a Shinigami is far more excruciating than simply transferring their powers. It involves destroying their human body and having their inner hollow consume them. Destroying their human bodies means destroying their whole cultivation and transform their souls entirely. But this is impossible without the help of the system. He already had Retsu, Nemu and probably more Shinigami in the future. He didn't need to turn the girls of this world into Shinigami.

"So, it's like that. So, are there anymore soul cultivators aside from you two?" From Little Fairy's expression, she was kind of disappointed that she couldn't hear any explanations on how soul cultivators are born.

"Probably, but who knows." Yun Che just shrugged his shoulders. He didn't tell them about Nemu or any other possible Shinigami came from the system as well as the cubes. He just need to create a fabricated story if those shinigamis are going to meet them in the future.

Little Fairy understood that there's nothing she could do to learn it but she just have to appreciate that he arts and cultivation were improved by him. He even gave her haki. "That aside, how did you two gain these powers? How did you cultivate them?"

Yun Che kind of expected this. Little Fairy and Cang Yue were curious on hollowfication the moment they saw them. But, he could only disappoint them as hollowfication was exclusive to Quincy and Shinigami only. But, that doesn't mean he is going to ignore their question. "This method is called hollowfication."

"Hollowfication?"

"Hollowfication are methods of infusing a hollow's soul into the soul of a soul cultivator. Our souls are strong enough to resist the powers of a hollow but not all soul cultivators have the power to resist it. The two of us are the one of the successful soul cultivators managed to attain hollowfication."

Then, Retsu continued "The process involves the subdue of the hollow's soul into our bidding and transform its soul into our powers. Thus, giving us these mask. If we failed, we will turn into a hollow and the only way to stop us is to kill us. When we donned ourselves with the masks, our aura and voice will transform into a hollow's. In other words, we can transform ourselves into a hollow while maintaining our humanity but using it for a long period of time will expose us to complete hollow takeover." Retsu studied a lot in the system's trivia during her spare time aside from snuggling with Yun Che. So, she managed to pick up a lot of information based on her powers.

"That's why we didn't use it all the time or we lose our humanity and destroy everything."

Little Fairy and Cang Yue nodded in understanding before Yun Che decided to dropped the bomb. "If you wish to learn about hollowfication, I suggest you forget about it. Hollowfication only works on soul cultivators like us because our souls have been tampered and empowered. But, even soul cultivators failed to subdue the hollow and turned into a hollow instead. Infused it into ordinary souls will only leads to your death as a hollow's soul is far more powerful than an ordinary human's souls. Infusing it will only lead to the hollow eating your soul and turning your body and cultivation into its own. In order word, learning hollowfication it's like throwing yourself into the mouth of the hollow." However, Yun Che didn't mention about the easy part of their training. Zangetsu was a hollowfied Zanpakuto to begin with and Retsu had Yachiru as her hollow.

Cang Yue was disappointed and immediately gave up on the idea. "Sigh, I wish I could learn it like you two."

"It's better if you don't. Like I said, I won't let a hollow eat you for no reason. Besides, we can't even extract a hollow's soul. They tend to die the moment their mask broke."

"Well, you are right about that. Rascal." Little Fairy slowly sighs as well. It's a miracle she could jump seven levels and becoming the strongest in the Empire right now. She and Cang Yue immediately gave up on the hollowfication method as they rather die rather than losing their humanity for powers they couldn't even control.

"But, despite feeling like a hollow. You two didn't emit any uncomfortable feeling. So, I can trust you two." Cang Yue slowly said as she looked at them. Then, she slowly walked towards Retsu and said

"There's one thing I am curious about."

Then, she slowly touched Retsu's ears and she can see that she started to purr. "So cute, I was right. Her ears are so soft."

"Sister Yue, stop it. It tickles." Retsu tried to hide her purring but the cute expression of purring started to increase Cang Yue's desire to tease her more. Yun Che started to sweat dropped because the same thing happens when she was teased by Jasmine all the time. The purring came from her habit of being teased by him. She really liked it when Yun Che touched her ears as he knows her ears sweet spots. Cang Yue decided to continued next by touching her tails.

"Sister YueChan, come here. Her tails are so soft." Cang Yue continued to touched her soft and silky tail. Little Fairy was also curious about her and touched her ears as well as her tails. She was shocked as her tails were even softer than any wool she ever touched. How can tails as soft as wool were able to support that giant energy ball? Cang Yue was even more delighted as she wrapped the tail around her neck and hugging it to feel its softness.

Kon was curious as well before he was stopped by Yun Che. "Ehh, what's your deal man? I am curious as well."

"Well, it's better if you don't."

"Eh? Why?" Kon suddenly asked him.

Then, Yun Che explained "Touching her ears and tail is like touching her breasts and rear. Wonder what will happen if a pervert like you do it?"

Kon beginning to imagine being buried six feet under by Retsu. Shivers started to surround him and he said with a feared expression. "Then, I won't do it."

"Are you suuuurrreeee? It's really soft." Yun Che started to provoke him. A pervert usually do it and didn't consider the consequences.

Kon climbed up his shoulder and give him a punch in the cheek. "Hell no!!!! You tried to bait me to get my ass kicked."

"Tsssskk" Yun Che looked sideways and clicked his tongue.

"You don't have clicked your tongue!!!!" Kon simply shouted at him which he ignores it.

After a round of teasing and touching, Retsu was finally spared by Little Fairy and Cang Yue teasing. She looked like she was tired all over. Yun Che did warn her that once they got curious by her ears and tails, she'll better be ready for round of touching all over her. But even if she went through all that, she only allows the people she trust to touch her ears and tails.

Little Fairy regained her composure and said "So now that's done. Where are we going next?"

However, both Yun Che and Retsu went quiet as they looked at each other. He nodded at her before both of them started to stare at her. Their look causes Cang Yue to become curious and asked "What's wrong you two?"

Yun Che took a deep breath and said "Little Fairy, don't you know? Today is the last day of your three month agreement with us."

So, is it that time?
