Six years later 2

Regardless, as stated before, Rain was now 15. His sister was just about to turn 13. Which means she would be able to cultivate and her talent would be revealed specifically. Not that anyone expected it to be bad... having a physique can be considered a sort of cheat.

Rain ran through the halls and weaved through the gardens. As he did, he glanced up at the one other thing that had changed, the one thing that proved he was a bit special...

No, it wasn't a system.

In the upper right corner or wherever Rain went, a pure black dot existed. It was not large, though not small either. It was probably a bit bigger that a quarter, if Rain had to guess. He hadn't tried getting touching it, at least not bare handed.

To explain why, there were a couple of reasons. For one, nobody else could see it. As far as Rain could tell, it didn't really exist or affect anything. No matter what he threw at it, it passed through as if it didn't exist, leading Rain to believe he could probably touch it and was probably the only one. This made him not want to touch it, so he just left it alone.

Another reason is simply the color. While it can't be described with words, the best would probably be just BLACK. The blackest thing that Rain had ever seen. Their were no fluctuations, it was just pure darkness. A little ominous, though the only reason he cared was in case it was like a black hole whose primary goal was to swallow him as soon as he touched it. He didn't judge by color normally, just his limited knowledge told him that colors of that... purity, were probably either death or pain flags. He wasn't going to fuck with it.

That was the only thing he gained when he turned 13 other than just unlocking himself, which was something every person who could cultivate did. Including his sister, who was about to go through it, and he was gonna miss it if he didn't start sprinting.

Taking his eyes, and weird thoughts, off the black dot, Rain increased his speed. He was quite fast now, as he was now a cultivator, his physical abilities naturally increased. Yay!

Rain quickly arrived at his little courtyard. Thankfully, he seemed to be on time as he slowed his pace and stood next to a solitary women who was standing, watching from a slight distance.

"Yo."

Mo An nodded in response. She was used to his nonchalant greetings and even appreciated the lack of formality. Anybody else, however, would suffer.

An was here to watch her future disciple. She and Rain had discussed the terms more in depth and she was actually glad that he asked her to train his sister. She had observed Hui for a while in the six years after the party and concluded that neither would do anything unnecessary. Had she not liked Hui's personality, she would have just told Rain she wasn't doing it anymore, but it wasn't an issue.

"I'll assume it hasn't started yet, judging by the time."

An nodded again.

"Thanks... I will also assume that you will support me in my endeavor after this. Convincing my family is going to... an issue."

"Yes... I can see that."

An had become well familiar with both Rain's plan to leave the palace and the obsessive nature of his family. His mother was far too attached, edging on worshipping, and Hui wasn't much better. She was just a lot more subtle with a bit more respect.

Rain smiled. He didn't particularly mind his family and it actually gave him a small sense of pleasure, which for him was actually a lot. He didn't take pleasure in much.

Rain walked away, but not before thanking An again. An watched him go. She enjoyed talking to him and considered him a friend. She would miss their interactions while he was gone, though she had little doubt that he would survive and that she would see him again at the royal gathering. She was looking forward to seeing how he dealt with his father and siblings, minus Hui, and would support him if possible. She certainly did not like her husband.

An looked at his back, perhaps a moment too long. Though nothing out of the ordinary. Rain was now 15. He had hormones and he could now look sexually appealing. For context, his black hair was kept short and ragged. He maintained his black eyes and lithe figure. He liked wearing a black kimono, though this was normal for him even at a young age. The biggest change was his hat. He kept a wide brimmed, straw hat that he could hide his face under. He rarely lifted his head so others could see his looks, as even An had to admit he was insanely handsome.

An did not enter the courtyard and just stood by the side. Normally, Rain wasn't supposed to either, especially since Na's physique would be awakening and possibly cause side effects that could affect the environment. It was a bit dangerous, but if Rain wasn't there Hui might get very emotionally unstable, which was dangerous for a new cultivator. Jing would be there, but that was only because her son was there and she didn't mind risking her life to spend time with him.

An sighed. She really didn't understand that woman. First, it was the king and now her son, she seemed to be naturally obsessive.

Regardless, Rain continued on. He entered the bedroom where he was immediately attacked by a flash of blonde.

Jing hugged her beloved son, getting her fix that she got less and less often these days. She quickly inhaled his scent, immersing herself in his warmth. She wasn't sexually aroused..., but she was certainly getting to a point where she was aware of her son's growth. In all aspects.

Rain stood firm, he was now a cultivator and would not fall from her assault. He let her sniff and grope him, if only because it was slight turn on and he the fact that he really like massages.

"Hello mother."

Jing beamed and raised her head, putting her hands on either side of his face.

"Hello my beloved son."
