Chapter 447

At the end of the tenth day, after a gruelling training session, Keith took Rouxi and Fefei back to Gaia.

A few seconds later, Qinyue, Yingying, Ayesha, Iseul, and Fiona appeared in the room as well, and Eira was right by their side.

The wolf immediately rushed to her Master, and Rouxi was very happy to meet her as well.

However, the girls in the room could not suppress their smiles and laughter when they found Fefei wearing a deep frown on her face, and she even had her nose scrunched up as if she was experiencing something unpleasant or outright disgusting.

They had all been through it as well, so they understood the reason behind it, and it was what made it more funny to them.

"I don't like it here." Fefei voiced her immediate thought. "This place feels filthy..."

"It is filthy if you are comparing it to Aerzar." Iseul smiled and said, and Ayesha nodded her head to those words.

"How was your training?" The Kurdish girl asked with a smile.

"It was fun!" She brightly smiled and then grinned at he best friend who was busy showering some love on Eira.

However, before she could speak about what happened in the last few days, Rouxi, having seemingly sensed what she was about to tell people, threw her a playful glare, and Fefei giggled as she stuck her tongue at her.

"Rouxi kissed Keith!" She announced but soon found out that no one was really surprised at those words.

"Did she now?" Qingyue playfully smiled at Rouxi, who was blushing now, and she ended up throwing another glare at Fefei when she heard Iseul and Ayesha start laughing.

"He's hard to resist. We know." The Kurdish girl threw a teasing remark, and it embarrassed the Qin even more.

However, it was only a matter of a few seconds before the Child of Destiny composed herself and then stood up.

"How was your training?" She asked them back, and soon they were engaged in a conversation.

The girls no longer hid the details of their training from them, and so, their conversation continued for nearly an hour.

Feifei and Rouxi finally learned how strong every one of them was, and they were amazed when Qingyue and Yingying admitted that they were at the limits of this world, having reached the completion of the Primal Desolation Realm.

Iseul was currently in the Sky Refinement Stage of the Primal Desolation Realm, only a step away from the Primal Harmony Stage, and Ayesha had recently entered the Primal Desolation, so, she was in the Earth Refinement Stage of the Primal Desolation.

Fiona had entered the Nascent Profound Realm a few days ago, and despite being the weakest of them all, she was also the one who was the most excited as she talked about training and the beautiful world of Aerzar with Rouxi and Feifei.

"How much of it have you explored so far?" The Princess of Wei Family asked as she looked at Qingyue, and the grey-eyed girl shook her head in reply. "Not even 1%. We mostly spend our time training there, but we have explored the immediate surroundings of the Palace..."

As their conversation continued, Keith excused himself to his room.

Fiona wanted to get up and go after him to see if he needed anything, but Ayesha stopped her, requesting something Italian for dinner tonight, and then she excused herself as she went to check on Keith and talk to him about something.

Three hours later, when Keith and she joined the rest at the dinner table, the blissful expression and the blush on her face told everyone what they had been up to and what she wanted to talk to him about. However, no one teased her about it when she took her seat at the table.

She grinned at Feifei when she saw the blush creep up on the latter's cheeks, and then thanked Fiona for the gnocchi that she had prepared for her.

"Everything okay?" Keith asked when he found Rouxi frowning as she went through her messages and emails for the last day.

"I want to put it all aside and focus on training, but I have to finish the project that my father dreamed about." She lightly smiled.

"It's fine." He smiled at her and then raised his brow at Iseul, who had just received a message on her watch and could not help but giggle at it. "Has he caused some trouble?" He knowingly asked, and Iseul immediately nodded her head.

"Hades slept with Wang Sisi and beat up her brother when he confronted her about it." She giggled some more. "Wang Zemin is in hospital right now."

"Did he now?" Keith laughed as well, but everyone else at the table was shocked.

"What?!" Feifei exclaimed. "He slept with Sisi?!"

Even though she disliked the girl, she knew that Wang Sisi was not so vain that she would sleep with anyone. And definitely not before marriage.

"Yes." Iseul nodded her head. "She was out at a bar last night and got drunk, and then she ended up with Hades, who took her to a hotel. The Wang Family was searching for her the whole night, and they finally found her when she walked out of the hotel, crying. By the looks of things, she was raped. Wang Zemin was enraged and took a squad to kill Hades, but he got beat up, and now the former is in hospital and the latter is in jail."

Iseul informed them, but both Feifei and Rouxi were dismayed at the unexpected turn of events. The two even felt bad for what happened to their classmate.

Keith, who had already learned about these events through the system, was not surprised.

Destiny's plans were changing now, and since Feifei and Rouxi were not approachable, Sisi had fallen into Hades' hands ahead of time.

"Has the Qin Family gotten the gist of things?" He asked, and Iseul shook her head.

"It is hard to say. However, Dragon Soul is on the move. They have recognised Hades, and some of their best officers will be in Hangzhou by morning." She told them. "But their intentions are unclear. The force they are sending out is still not enough to contain Hades."

"They are not being sent to contain him." He shook his head. "They are being sent to recruit him."

"They are going to recruit the King of Mercenaries?" Ayesha frowned.

"They are going to recruit a Mortal God who was born in this country and has now returned to it." He smiled. "The Qin Family has likely already been informed as well," He turned to look at Rouxi, "and they will likely be paying you a visit too."

"Why?" She frowned.

"Perhaps to check up on you. But given your Cultivation talent, they will invite you back in the Sect as well."

Rouxi's heart thumped against her chest, and then she lowered her head, lost in some thoughts.

It was her father's desire that she would be accepted back into the Clan after he was expelled from it, and it was also why he paid a lot of attention to her training.

However, she was not sure if she wanted to return to the fold of the Qin Family.

"If they come, refuse them. I will handle the rest." He told her, and she subconsciously nodded to him. "If you agree, there's a possibility that things would become a little complicated. Given your talent and your beauty, they might try to pair you up with Hades."

"What?" She frowned and watched him nod to her.

"You would be considered a fine option to bind Qin Feng to the family."

Keith smiled at the coldness that flickered in her eyes. She was born to rule, not serve, and there was nothing in existence that could subjugate her or use her as a chip.

"Not happening." She made it very clear, and her best friend giggled at her words.

"I wonder what you would do if they tried to become a little forceful with Rouxi." Feifei playfully asked, and Keith met her eyes and harmlessly smiled.

"They wouldn't want to go to war with me." He told her. "And they know who I am."

"Oh, is that so?" She grinned. "Still, I want to know what you would do if they tried to take Rouxi away. Yes, you are a Mortal God, but this is Zhongguo and the old people in those Sects are quite stubborn. Grandfather told me a few days ago that the Qin Family's Ancestor is a Mortal God too."

Her words surprised everyone at the table, except for Keith, and he just smiled at her.

"Well, if things do get out of hand, which likely won't happen as I don't think they are a dumb bunch, I will just have to kill them all." He shrugged, and Feifei froze at her words, sensing the seriousness in his words.

"Oh..." She now regretted asking the question as the mood at the table had suddenly become very grim.

"Whose Inheritor is he?" Qingyue looked at her husband and asked, sure that he was aware of it.

"Ren. The folklore calls him Shennong as well."

"The Flame Emperor?" Feifei surprisedly asked.

"Yes. He is also the oldest Mortal in this world, and perhaps the strongest as well since he is at the Peak of Martial Realms."

His answer tensed them all even more.

"We are getting married tomorrow. Officially." Rouxi suddenly said, and Qingyue, who was a little surprised, nodded her head as she felt that it was for the best.

"She's right." The grey-eyed girl looked at her husband. "If you two are married, then there's almost zero possibility that they would try anything."

"You worry too much." He chuckled. "Alright, we will do it tomorrow." But nodded his head when he saw both Qingyue and Rouxi narrowing their eyes at him.
