Arno 'Problems'

Raynor knew Erina was an ambitious girl, and that she won't easily pass the option of gaining limitless power.

But, then again he knew that she had minimum interaction with things which are not related to food, so he thought that she will take time to accept the offer of joining him properly.

Then again... he didn't include his girlfriend scheming, he wonders if this related to what he said to Hei'er about brighter light creating darker shadows?

His girlfriend while not like Yueli, she still does possess 'Domain' over corruption...

'Thanks to all the fail-safes in the cultivation method, I don't need to worry about her going out of hand.' Raynor sighed for second thinking what his beloved could do if she goes out of control...

After having one hell of a night, with Heiress and other girls who joined him in the middle of night, he was walking towards Azure Dragon Branch.

'That's one wicked cultivation method you cooked up.' Xue Ji said to him.

'It was necessary, as unlimited power WILL corrupt, and simple love will not going to keep them in line forever...' Raynor explained to the curious Asura spirits.

Neither of the spirits mentioned about the stuff he did in bed with his harem, it too embarrassing for both of them because they needed to clean up themselves after watching the whole thing...

'And how does this 'art' is keeping PRIMORDIAL GODS in check?' Hei'er asked him.

'It's the art which turned us into Gods, more exact it shaped us into Gods, that means it's in the energy itself which keeps us on track, hell so far the only difference I noticed is that I get pissed when I have to speak with ignorant mortals, and that is coming from the fact that I am a Primordial Dragon and it's annoying when a sheep thinks that he or she is important.' After saying that, he started to think for a second.

But then he remembered how he nuked Sword Region and Sun and Moon Hall.

'Hmm, those actions were before my ascension...' He thought that to himself.

'Wait! you are an actual Dragon!?' Xue Ji asked him with disbelieve, she has not seen him show any signs of draconic attributes, like arrogance or unreasonable pride! stuff like that! or is she blind?!

Raynor only laughed hearing that, only Hei'er had look of some sort of realisation.

~~~

"RAY!!! HELP ME!!!" Raynor eyes perked up towards the source of his screaming friend.

He saw his friend dressed in azure dragon branch robes, and behind him at least twenty girls which were chasing him.

'Anime cliche much? I don't remember altering this reality to have that...' Raynor was amused quite a bit by this anime type of moment!

The moment Arno was next to Raynor he grabbed his shoulders and quickly went behind him.

"Fu... saved!" The blond said while wiping off the sweat from his forehead, while he was standing behind his friend.

Few seconds later around twenty girls were standing in front of Raynor, all of them had faces of awe, shock, or even worship!

Another thing was that they all are dressed in three types of Branch clothes, Raynor was a little bit surprised that there were some girls in Azure Dragon Branch.

There were no girls in Black Tortoise Branch as it can be considered a male branch which requires to train in Tower Shield and Spear techniques, but Azure Dragon? he was quite surprised that there so many girls who want to train in Way of Spear...

"All right, So why are you chasing my poor friend?" Raynor asked curiously.

"Reporting to Great Sect Master!" One of the girl's went forward, she was dressed in Vermillion bird robes, that means she was from Li Suo branch.

"We asked if Lord Arno..." Raynor slightly snickered hearing how his blonde friend is considered 'Lord' by the people here..." is engaged or has Fiance... as my Royal father would gladly accept him as Crown Prince for my Navy Tide Nation." Now revealed Princess said with curious look towards Raynor and Arno who was hiding behind him.

"Hell No! I am not marrying any Princess from any Cultivation World!" Arno said that with hushed voice.

"Hmm, and why not?" Raynor asked curiously with his hushed voice so that the girls wouldn't hear in front of them, it's sort of amusing situation he is playing along.

"That because once I become Crown Prince of whatever there will be even more girls coming to me and asking to he Mistresses or concubines just because of you Ray! being goddamn God of this place!" Arno explained with slightly pale face, as he was imagining armies of women asking that!

"Well, you can always pick one of them and just stick with it...I can put my 'foot' down and no one will be annoying you anymore." Raynor extended his 'olive branch' to him.

"Dude... I am not f*cking dragon like you! and just accept girl I never met and who only wants to be with me just because I got power and my friend is a God!" Arno explained his reasons...

Raynor just hummed and his spirits told him that his friend is weird and looks like a stick...

"Right... I forgot that you are partially 'normal' person..." He said that with realisation.

Arno just deadpanned at him.

"Dude...I am hanging out with a Primordial God in a martial arts fantasy world, where I am Trained in said martial arts by 5 billion-year-old dragon on top of floating island... how the f*ck I am normal!?" The blond said in a very sarcastic way...

"Yeah... still partially normal..." Raynor was not affected by his friend sarcasm, since one of his girlfriend's is very sarcastic and pessimistic older pink head...

He then looked at eager girls in front of him.

"My friend over here does not like blindly arranged marriages, he wants to learn about the said girls first and only then MAYBE accept it," Raynor said with a smile and Arno paled.

"Buddy if you find them lacking... can take you to Royal Realms or even Northern Regions... I heard That Devil Queen's witches are still around." He said that to his blond friend who turned slightly ghastly even, he wants to stay far, far away from any 'Dark Beauties' as possible!!!

"Truly? Then I will try my best to win Lord Arno affection!" The Navy Tide Princess said with hopeful voice and the other nineteen girls behind her nodded in quick succession.

Arno had look of pure horror, why the f*ck he can't train in peace?!

"Now, now don't 'attack' him at once, or it will just have a negative effect! try approaching him 'normally' as possible." Raynor was trying to control the situation and same time get some amusement out of this!

"Understood Great Sect Master!" All twenty girls said at the same time.

"That's great! now move along my friend wants to train."Raynor motioned for them to scatter back to their branch sects.

Quickly the girls disappeared not before looking at Arno one more time...

" Dude! They are going to haunt me forever!" He said with fearful look.

"Then just pick one and be done for!" Raynor rolled his eyes, that why he has a harem not to have this drama B.S!

"You acting like those TV show protagonist from Columbian drama show my mother used to watch, before she decided to switch to American detective stuff..." Raynor rolled his eyes remembering watching that stuff, he still has goosebumps from all that.

Arno face turned green when he heard that!

"DUDE! that shit is horrible! why are you comparing me with that!!!" The blonde guy was horrified! does he really, behave like that!?

While the Asura spirits inside Raynor's inner world had confused look, what is this 'Columbian Drama shows' that can make their masters friend look like he is about to hurl!?

While Arno started to brainstorm how to get out of his situation!

'Why I just don't ask Raynor to take me to that world? and we can have fun over there as well!'

With that in mind Arno decided on his course of action, but first... he needs to train to respectable level first!

~~~~~~Raynor's House~~~~~~

While Raynor was having fun with Arno and his supposed love life, Li Suo and her two disciples returned home.

Things got busy once again because the Holy Grounds just expanded five times in size! and Li Suo now has city size plot of land to make her Branch of sect to look any way she likes.

"Master... I still believe that Ice Phoenix would he better symbol then Vermillion Bird!" Bing'er said with icy pout.

Li Suo just sighed for... she doesn't know anymore...

"And I told you that it's Sect Master's decision, not mine Bing'er! so stop with this annoyance!" The Platinum haired Goddess of Life warned for last time.

And the Ice Phoenix just huffed and looked away...

While Shen Xi barely controlled herself not to laugh at this, she has no idea where this 'competition' between Fire and Ice birds appeared from, but she decided to stay away from it...

Bing'er walked away from those two and got herself comfortable on couch in living room.

Thinking about getting some ice cream to forget this injustice which was brought to her, she is the mascot of her beloved master so why they have Vermilion Bird Branch when they don't even have that birds bloodline users in this Sect!!!

As she was about to go to the kitchen she saw doors opening again and Mu Xuanyin and Mu Bingyun walk through the doors with another... much, much weaker girl!!!

The Ice Phoenix eyes narrowed at this as she crossed her arms and waited for the pair and the newcomer.

"Xuanyin who is she?" The Ice Phoenix didn't beat around the bush.

"Ah, Ancestor... this is Mu Feixue, my gift to Raynor for the beautiful eyes he gave me." The Snow Song Realm King said explained to The Ice Phoenix.

Bing'er expression didn't change this is not the first time something like this happened and not the last one, especially now when the Gods are back, everyone wants power, especially when someone like Raynor who actively interacts with common mortals...

"You do realise... that it will be hard to for him to accept another girl with my bloodline!? in extension the Frozen Cloud is part of me in a way as well! that means Master has quite a selection!" At first Bing'er started to speak calmly but then her voice got frostier by the second until it was nearly enough to freeze mortals just by talking...

Mu Xuanyin slightly raised her eyebrow, she never seen her 'Ancestor' this... pissed?

"I already know that! and I have a plan to make sure he accept my gift!" The elder Mu said with confidence, while Bingyun next to her was not so sure anymore...

"Ha... we shall see, you do realise that you have my blood and a piece of my soul? that your actions might reflect badly on me?" She said that with a resigned sigh.

"Of course! I know that Ancestor! I have utmost respect for you! but what happened? why are you behaving like this?" Mu Xuanyin asked with very curious voice, the Ice Phoenix is usually as Raynor says a 'chill' person!

"My Problem is that one of branch Sect is named after a bloody bird which has no connection to this place!" Bing'er finally snapped.

Mu sisters blinded at her after hearing that.

"...What?"

"Exactly!!! Vermilion Bird has barely left her legacy in that Fire World! while I have sustained whole Star Realm and allowed it to rise to what it is today!" Bing'er said with fury.

"But...Ancestor... Snow Song Realm is a top Star Realm right now... everyone knows your importance, while this Sect Branch is named for the legends of its healing fire..." Mu Bingyun tried to pacify her, which was working, as Bing'er was in deep thought.

"Yes... Indeed you are right! not only I am still around while THAT bird is just a shade, not only that but my blood descended have surpassed THAT birds descendants..." She then looked at the new girl.

"You... girl... come with me... we have much to discuss how to behave around my master..." Bing'er word was law especially around her people with HER blood around.

"U-Understood Ancestor!" The girl tried to sound not to afraid... but it was not happening.
