New Moon Palace

After a little fiasco

Cross and a, now undisguised, Yun Che were walking in New Moon City. Luna hugged Cross' arm still pouting and squeezing tight, Cross felt like his arm was going to fall off. Though Jasmine was much easier to please, Cross gave her a bunch of summer clothes and bras, underwear, whatever.

She was currently sitting in the Sky Poison Pearl happily humming with a white t-shirt, tied in a knot at her waist because it was too big, sky blue shorts and pink flip-flops, she also had a red bra on and felt much better with her surprisingly big breasts being held up.

The three stopped at New Moon Palace.

Cross looked up and said "Why is everything named palace here? Frozen piss palace, New Moon palace, what's next?" Yun Che chuckled and Luna added "Maybe they're royalty?" Cross and Luna looked at each other before bursting out laughing.

They were about to walk inside when they heard a voice shout "Brother-in-law?!" the three looked over and saw Yuanba's hulking figure run over. Cross pushed Yun Che forward and Yuanba bear hugged him, Yun Che almost died and cursed weakly "What kind of brother are you..."

Cross laughed and said "Hey Yuanba." Yuanba said "Cross! You're here too!?" as he hugged him as well. Cross hugged back however, his physical strength wasn't something Yuanba could compare too... Well not yet anyway. Yuanba groaned as he said "Ah Cross! Too tight!"

Cross let go and smiled, patting Yuanba's shoulder with a grin. Yuanba chuckled and decided not to hug Cross anymore. Yun Che rubbed his, surely fractured, back as he said "Why are you here?" Yuanba seemed to forget what just happened and said "I'm a disciple of New Moon Palace, Class one!"

Yun Che said "Seems impressive." Yuanba had a face full of pride as he said "Of course! You can only get in if you are a genius or have connections... And I have both!" Yun Che blinked and Cross touched Yuanba before saying "Hmm. Maybe you should try eating Profound beasts raw."

There was a silence before Yun Che said "Anyway! Do you know who Sikong Han is?" Yuanba nodded and said "Yeah! I can take you to him!" Yun Che smiled and said "Thanks Yuanba." Yuanba grinned and brought them into the Palace.

Cross sighed and Luna said "Seems like he won't take your advice." though she giggled a bit, Cross said "His Veins are really strange, they feel like special ones. Maybe Profound beast meat and blood would stimulate them." Luna hummed as they followed the other two through the Palace.

Yun Che looked back and whispered "Raw Profound beast meat?" Cross shrugged and said "You saw his Profound Veins, they're weird. Maybe it'll stimulate it, I don't know, ask the library loli." Yun Che chuckled and said "She said 'Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins'."

Cross rolled his eyes and said "Like I know that that is. Ask her how to wake them up, I think it would be fun to see Yuanba rampage around." Yun Che shivered at the thought and said "He needs to be Tyrannical or exposed to Tyrannical pressure."

Cross immediately cursed "What kind of shitty vein is this!? Have to be Tyrannical?! What a joke! Show me who named them, I'll beat his ass!" Yun Che chuckled and turned forward.

Cross grumbled and closed his ears for a second before opening them again, his pressure surged out and covered only Yuanba, who looked around in confusion before saying "Huh? What's that?" Yun Che said "What's what, Yuanba?" Yuanba scratched his head and said "Everything feels heavier and scary. I don't like it."

Yun Che was confused but Cross was truly stunned, this kid didn't even flinch! If anything he was fighting back subconsciously! Cross kept it on Yuanba, not intensifying it in case he crushed his will and crippled him by accident. Yuanba was a good kid, if he was accidentally crippled that would truly be a pity.

They continued through the Palace while Yuanba was feeling truly uncomfortable. His bones were clicking together and he was grinding his teeth in anger, for no apparently reason. Cross saw this and sent a burst of pressure on him. Yuanba roared and the pressure shattered as Yuanba's cultivation base rose until it reached Nascent Realm 1st level.

Everyone was startled and Cross spit out a little bit of blood as he said "The boy shattered my pressure! Now I'm angry." as his pressure surged and beat down Yuanba's crackling in the air, pushing Yuanba down and down as his cultivation rose to 5th level before stopping.

Yuanba was breathing heavy and Cross took back his pressure seeing that it wasn't going up anymore.

An old man rushed out and looked at Yuanba in shock as he said "Yuanba! What happened?!" Yuanba only said "Hungry..." The old man shouted immediately "Go feed Yuanba! Whatever he wants it's on me!" Yuanba's eyes lit up and he ran towards the kitchen.

Cross chuckled as he watched him go and Yun Che smiled as he said "Excuse me, Senior. Are you Elder Sikong? My grandfather is Xiao Lie-" Sikong Han grabbed Yun Che and said "Old Lie is here?!" Yun Che shook his head and Sikong Han sighed as he said "I haven't seen your grandfather in 7 years..."

Cross stopped listening and looked around at the 'Palace' it seemed like a nice place but it was probably classified as a middle class sect? Cross didn't know, but he did know that he was stronger than all the Disciples even if he only used his current cultivation strength.

Cross was actually pretty strong. He could probably fight a whole realm ahead of him and if he used his armor and mace, probably another level up from that. A total of 11 levels above him. Not too shabby!

Coming back to the conversation. Yun Che asked "Is it possible to join Class One?" Sikong Han smiled and patted Cross' shoulder as he said "No problem my boy!" he looked at Cross and Luna and said "This..." Yun Che smiled and said "This is my Brother, Cross and his wife Luna."

Sikong nodded and said "Nice to meet you two." Cross smiled and said "Likewise Elder Sikong." Luna smiled and bowed slightly in greeting, Sikong felt very happy to see more sensible kids. Cross and Luna magically stopped physically aging at 18 so they still looked the same.

Sikong said in shock "Two Peak Nascent Realms?! How old are you two?!" Cross said "I'm 24 and my wife is 23." Sikong rubbed his chin and said "That's good! Would you like to join New Moon Palace?" Cross said "Uhhh.. Sure?" Luna smiled and said "Thank you, Elder Sikong."

Sikong laughed and said "Nonsense! HAAHA Thank you! Though we don't have very much competition anymore now that the Reaper wiped out the Xiao Sect." Yun Che, Cross, and Luna were confused and asked "The Reaper?" Sikong stroked his beard and nodded as he said gravely "The Reaper is the name given to the one who destroyed the Xiao Sect! Some say that he called hundreds of Dragons and slaughter everyone! They also say he dresses in pitch black and has blood red eyes, where ever he goes death follows."

Cross coughed and looked at his attire, he was wearing a black hoodie, a white t-shirt, black shorts and pink slippers. The usual, though he did look very strange to the natives. Luna giggled and Yun Che said seriously "We shall watch where we step Elder Sikong. This Reaper sounds like a truly ruthless individual!"

Sikong nodded and grabbed 3 silver badges before handing them to the three and saying "There's a banquet tonight, you should all come." Yun Che said "Can I bring Yuanba along?" Sikong nodded and smiled as he said "I don't see any problems with that. Yuanba will show you around when he's done eating... I swear that boy will bankrupt me one day. Hehe"

Yun Che smiled and bade Sikong farewell, Cross and Luna followed along and then left with Yun Che.

They turned a corner and Yun Che burst into laughter as he said "The Reaper! Hahahahaha!" Cross rubbed his nose and said "Yeah, fuck you too." Yun Che slapped Cross' shoulder and wheezed. Cross grumbled and said "Yeah, whatever Loli king."

Yun Che gave him a smug smile "Jealous~?" Cross 'tsk'd' and kept walking as Yun Che chuckled behind him before catching up, as they walked around.

Yun Che looked around curiously, as did Cross and Luna, hoping to find something interesting.

Sure enough! The gods didn't forsake them!

A beautiful girl and a guy that could only be described as not as handsome as Cross showed up. Yun Che clicked his tongue and admired the girls beauty. Cross nudged Luna and said "Hey, you see that guy over there?"

Luna nodded and Cross said "That's what I call a white face." Luna made a 'pffft' sound before laughing, it was as if silver bells were chiming in the air, Cross added "Strangely enough, he's not as handsome as me, so he must be a shitty white face."

Luna kept laughing and Cross continued "Look at his shifty eyes, it's like he knows there's someone more handsome than him around!" Luna held onto Cross' shoulder and laughed so hard she cried, everybody was looking at them now.

Coincidentally, as was the 'not as Handsome as Cross' guy and the beautiful girl. Yuanba ran over, looking revitalized as he shouted "Brother-in-law! I see you met Senior Brother Murong and Senior Sister Xuerou!"

Yuanba dragged Yun Che over to them and Cross followed along muttering "The clash between the lesser handsome and the God of Handsomeness begins!" Luna turned away and laughed as she said "Please... I can't.. It's so rude! Hhahahaha"

Cross walked to Yun Che's side and looked at the guy who wasn't as handsome as him. He really wasn't. Though he was staring at Luna, Cross coughed and said "You know, eyes are very fragile things. You never know when you might just lose 'em!"

The guy, who still didn't have a name but was also not as handsome as Cross, raised an eyebrow and said "And you are..." Cross smiled 'politely' as he answered "Going to rip your eyes out if you stare at my wife for even another second." the man choked on his saliva, it was such a polite tone!

Yun Che was talking with the beautiful girl, who he had found out's name was Lan Xuerou. Yun Che said "Ah you see, it doesn't matter my wife said I can have another wife in the future." Lan Xuerou giggled and said "Interesting.. Seems like these following days won't be so boring anymore~"

Cross smiled at the man who he couldn't even be bothered to remember the name of and said "Well, Mr. Not as handsome as me, do you treasure your eyes or not?" Yuanba, Xuerou, and Yun Che looked over and Xuerou frowned as she said "Brother Murong, why are you threatening the younger disciples? Seems like I was wrong about you..."

Murong 'Not as handsome as Cross and thereby blamed for threatening someone more handsome than him' almost vomited blood. He hadn't even said a word! He said "Sister Xuerou, I-" Luna hugged her shoulders and said pitifully "Big sister! He scared me! Uwu.. It was like looking at a big bad wolf!"

Xuerou hugged Luna and glared at Murong whatever his name was, even she forgot at this point. Cross smiled coldly and Murong 'looks better than a shrub' was stunned! Since when did he look at her like that!?

Xuerou said "Come with Big sister, we'll leave this big bad wolf alone, okay?" Luna nodded meekly and Xuerou walked away saying "See you later~" winking at Yun Che.

The guys were stunned, Yun Che was thinking of the wink, Yuanba was stunned that his sister let Yun Che have another wife, Murong was stunned that Xuerou left, and Cross was stunned that his wife really just left him here!

Cross shouted "Luna! Where you going?!" Luna waved over her shoulder and said "Away from the big bad wolf!" Cross said "EH?! I'm your husband not a wolf!" Murong glared at Cross and said "You made Xuerou hate me! My famil-" Cross slapped him and sent him flying across New Moon Palace, through several buildings as he said in disdain "I don't even remember your name, you're not handsome enough to speak to me. What family? I don't see any."

Cross turned to Yun Che and pointed his thumb behind him as he said "Can you believe that guy?" Yun Che laughed and shook his head, Yuanba finally recovered and said "My sister let you have another wife?!"
