Chapter 53 Fate is such a b

Time passed by quickly.

Naruto had spent time within the Xiao Clan for one more year, and now it was finally time for him to go back home with Hinata and Hanabi.

However, before he had to go back, he had to do something here first.

And that was to celebrate his breakthrough.

"Congratulation for reaching the 1st level of the Emperor Profound Realm!"

Hinata and Hanabi congratulate him with a giant cake. 

They were at the Earth Profound Realm right now. Their progress was a lot slower than Naruto's. 

But to reach this level of power at such a young age was already considered impossible for a normal cultivator.

"Thank you, Hinata-chan, Hanabi-chan."

Naruto felt very happy. He looked at both of them with affection.

They came to this world with him and were always beside him the whole time.

Hanabi cut the cake, and then she served it to everyone.

Xiao Ying and Xiao Yue also became a lot stronger than before. They were at the Earth Profound Realm as well.

However, if they wanted to become stronger than this, they had to face the real life-and-death situation.

"We are already satisfied with our current cultivation. We don't want to be stronger than this. However, Xiao Che is another matter."

Xiao Che had more talent than them. They hoped that he could become stronger than them in the future.

"Are you really going to leave me here, Onii-chan?"

Xiao Che was very cute, with his big puppy eyes. He didn't want Naruto to go. But if he had to go, He wanted him to bring him along.

He even used the forbidden language of the otherworld. Hinata and Hanabi really love teaching the natives their mother tongue.

However, both Xiao Ying and Xiao Yue told him no because he was too young.

"But when I am old enough, I don't want to be a cultivator, but a Ninja!"

Xiao Che declared. He didn't want to be a stuck up cultivator, but a cool ninja who delicated their lives for their loved ones.

Xiao Ying and Xiao Yue didn't know what to say, but if that was his path, then they would both support him.

They didn't know much about Ninja but from watching Hinata and Hanabi. They could be as strong as cultivators if they were to use profound energy as their source of power.

Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi appeared later. Both of them came to give Naruto gifts.

Today wasn't just the day he broke through to the 1st level of the Emperor Profound Realm. It was also his birthday.

Xiao Lingxi was very attached to Naruto after the incident, but they were just brothers and sisters.

She ran toward him and hugged his leg.

"Please don't go, Onii-chan."

Naruto heard that, and he looked at Hinata and Hanabi.

If they keep teaching them like this, how could he leave next time?

Hinata and Hanabi looked away and acted like they didn't know anything.

Both of them just thought that the two would be cute if they were to say that, and they were absolutely right.

Kushina wanted to celebrate his birth day with Minato as well, but they had to wait.

Kushina, Minato, and Daji would celebrate with him inside the Sky Poison Pearl later, when he went to sleep.

And as they were celebrating, Naruto sighed and looked in a certain direction.

"Why is she still lurking around and not coming to talk with me face-to-face?"

Naruto spoke to no one. However, both Hinata and Hanabi knew who he was talking about.

It was Chu Yuechan. She had come to the Xiao Clan, but she had just observed them from afar.

Naruto wanted to go closer to her and then asked her why she was here in the past. But when he went closer, she would always run away from him.

"Should we catch her and force her to tell us?"

Hanabi suggested. 

Even though they were only at the Earth Profound Realm, with the martial arts they practiced and the primordial chakra.

They could beat her without much effort.

"Nope, just let her be. When Yueli-san comes, she might come to talk to us herself."

Chu Yueli was pretty busy for the past year as she had become the sect mistress instead of Gong Yunxian.

She didn't want to, but when she noticed that someone was observing them secretly, she couldn't help but accept.

Gong Yunxian and Feng Qianhui would go on close door cultivation to break through as much as possible. 

So they left all the matter about the sect to Chu Yueli.

"I know that you can become stronger by dual cultivating with Xuan Na'er. We can't do that, so you have to work for us for a while before you can go and live with him outside the sect. And don't forget to say thank you to him for his sealing arts that protect us from the outsider when you go to his birthday celebration."

Gong Yunxian basically gave Chu Yueli to Naruto. She even gave them her blessing.

"That…"

Chu Yueli sighed and wanted to say no. However, when she thought of how Naruto would become in the future, she kept silent.

Choosing him as her future Dao companion was a better choice. She couldn't think of anyone better than him. both power wise and personality wise.

Naruto celebrated with everyone. 

Unknown to what he had done to the fate of everyone around him.

Daji knew that something would go wrong sooner or later. Fate is such a bitch when someone is challenging it.

"Come to think of it. I haven't seen Xia Qingyue. Where is she now?"

Naruto felt that something was wrong. Xia Qingyue would never miss his birthday. However, if there was something wrong with her, She would have used his scroll, and he would go to help her without hesitation.

…

Floating Cloud City.

Xia Qingyue was now having a hard time. She wanted to go to the Xiao Clan right away, but she was stopped by someone. 

She wanted to use the scroll that Naruto gave her because she knew that the one who stopped her was stronger than her, and he came with many guards.

However, she couldn't use it because someone stole it from her.

"You don't have the right to refuse me. If you don't come with me, I will personally lead my people to this empire and destroy it!"

A young man with red hair said it with a sinister smile. His name was Feng Xilou, the 14th prince of the Divine Phoenix Empire.

He had come to the Blue Wind Empire because he got information that this empire was full of beautiful and talented women.

He accidentally met Xia Qingyue and fell in love with her at first sight. 

Xia Qingyue, however, was not interested in him and refused his advances, leading to his threatening behavior.

Xia Qingyue came here alone, so no one could help her in this situation.
