Could it be love~?

Cross touched the ground and became invisible, using the Prayer Beads to erase his presence completely as he entered a city. He passed through the gates and disappeared into the city.. On the Gates big words glowed Golden saying 'Brahma Heaven City'.

Cross was pretty much completely untraceable right now as he shuttled through the city, planting invisible string ears everywhere. He looked up at the Palace and narrowed his eyes slightly before moving in it's direction.

He communicated with Aurora saying "100% undetectable from Divine Sense?" Aurora replied cheerfully "That's right, Master! Aurora is powerful, right?" Cross smiled and rubbed the necklace beads as he said "Very powerful and cute."

Aurora: (~￣▽￣)~

Cross smoothed out his smile and cautiously stepped into the Palace. He captured a maid and searched her memories before erasing himself and sending her back on her way. He didn't say a word but continued through the Palace carefully, looking around every corner and in every room.

He continued and saw an old withered man in a grey robe going into a room. He narrowed his eyes as Aurora said "Master! He fells like one of us!" Cross replied "Treasure?" Aurora replied "Yeah!" Cross kept silent, he could communicate with Aurora through his mind so there was no sound.

Using his magic in conjunction with his invisible movement skill, he was basically a 'ghost'.

He followed the man into a room and saw a woman. Cross was a bit startled, this woman was probably the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life! She could only be described as perfect! As if she was made by God himself!

He calmed himself down. Yeah she was extremely beautiful, but she was his target and from what Jasmine said... She was a huge cunt that hated men. Cross glanced at her and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips...

Qianye Ying'er looked right into Cross' eyes in confusion, she swept her divine sense over him but found nothing. The withered old man said "Mistress, is there something wrong?" Qianye Ying'er shook her head and said "Nothing, Uncle Gu... I just thought I felt something... Did that man do something today?"

Uncle Gu shook his head and Qianye Ying'er hummed in thought.

Unknowingly, the two players sat at the Chess table, meeting for the first time... But only one of them was aware.

Cross silently left the room, leaving an invisible bead in a corner before slipping out the door. He heard 'Uncle Gu' talking about the Brahma Soul Bell and the Primordial Seal of Life and Death, while Qianye Ying'er was still in thought as she said "Uncle Gu... Stop speaking. Search the room."

Uncle Gu was confused but still searched the room, he found a ring in the opposite corner of the bead, bringing it over to Qianye Ying'er, who had a frown on her face. She opened the ring and found a letter inside.

She opened the letter and read the contents before a beautiful smile emerged on her lips as she said "Mmm... Incredible~ My little beast came to visit me~" Uncle Gu was even more confused, Qianye Ying'er was showing... True happiness!?

Uncle Gu looked at the letter and trembled.

The letter said 'I've made the first move my little prey, I hope you won't disappoint me... -The Predator' Of course, who else could it be other than everyone's favorite Elf, Cross! Was he going to say that? Hehe... He wasn't that arrogant yet.

Qianye Ying'er realized something, that feeling she felt. It was him! She flashed to the spot she felt it at before sniffing. It smelled like... Fresh flowers... Maybe she was going crazy but she was 100% certain that she had looked at his eyes, but she had no idea what he looked like. The smell she smelt had become her favorite smell... The smell of thrill!

She touched her lips and mumbled "If you lose, will I be happy? Will you stay with me forever?" she looked up and muttered "You've seen me and yet... You still make me your prey..." she turned and said "Uncle Gu, did I get uglier?" Uncle Gu jumped in shock and said "Mistress! Is your head okay?"

Qianye felt her eye twitch and she said "I'll take that as a no then..." but right after an intoxicated expression appeared on her face as she muttered quietly "Have you truly no desire for me?" she touched her cheeks and blushed.

Uncle Gu was sure Qianye Ying'er was sick and he ran out saying "I'll get a doctor!" Qianye Ying'er ignored him and gently folded the letter before placing it in her personal space as she sat on her bed daydreaming...

Eh... Her daydream wasn't quite right. She dreamed of decimating Cross and making him her dog, forcing him to listen to her and seducing him as hard as she could only for him to never even look at her.

Aiyo! This girl was truly fucked up! She was a Sadist AND a Masochist at the same time! Quite possibly a Yandere as well...

Anyway!

Cross slipped around the Palace into a Throne Room. He saw a man, which he learned from the Maid's memories was named Qianye Fantian. Based on the conversation with Qianye Ying'er and Uncle Gu, this man was Ying'er's father and the Realm King, but more importantly, he had the Brahma Soul Bell in his possession.

Cross was just looking to stir things up and create chaos in the Brahma God Realm. He knew from Jasmine that the Southern Sea God Emperor, Nan Wansheng, was a greedy piece of trash. He estimated that Nan Wansheng would easily attack the Brahma God Realm for the Primordial Seal of Life and Death.

After all, if anybody wanted to live forever it would be a greedy guy like him.

Thankfully, Uncle Gu had the loosest lips on the planet when talking to Ying'er. Cross had basically found everything out about the Brahma God Realm's secrets. The space within the Brahma Soul Bell, the two ancestors that are alive inside, and the Primordial Seal of Life and Death that is keeping them alive.

Without Qianye Fantian to call them out, they would have no idea what was happening. They were completely sealed and would only come out if the entire Realm was in danger. Cross was also greedy for the Primordial Seal of Life and Death but not because he wanted to live forever, but because he could devour it with his Prayer Bead Necklace!

Evil Infant is gone, the rest will surely follow. Maybe he'll even get some benefits from it!

This obviously not a main priority right now though.

Cross slipped away, not able to get the Brahma Soul Bell today, but it will be his in the future. He swore it! He hummed to himself and captured a butler in the Palace before sinking a Accepted Separation Lotus into his body before casting 'Imperio' on him and whispering "Go give Qianye Fantian by gift and leave this message 'The Predator calls the first 'check', your move'."

The butler stiffly walked away and Cross slipped out of the Palace quickly, going into the city with a captured maid. He 'Cleansed' her body, mind, and soul, before casting 'Imperio' again and handing her a letter as he said "Go to the Southern God Region and make sure this gets to Nan Wansheng"

He teleported out of the city and let the maid go, he watched as she flew away and a ruthless grin formed on his lips as he bang a loud bang from the city. He snickered and slipped away quietly, speeding out of the realm on his Ark as the chaos ensued in the Palace.

Qianye Ying'er entered the Throne Room and saw a complete mess along with the faint humming of a sad tune. She was stunned and said "What happened, father?" Qianye Fantian's face was covered in soot as he coughed out a black smoke cloud saying "A butler came in, said 'The Predator calls the first check, your move.' before exploding into a white lotus."

Qianye Ying'er trembled and said quickly "Are you sure that's what he said?!" Qianye Fantian nodded and said "Why? Do you know what that means?" Ying'er smiled beautifully as she said "No idea~" before walking away with a turn of her slender willow waist, a dazed expression on her face.

Fantian shook his head and said "Clean this place up!"

Qianye Ying'er returned to her room and closed the door before holding her hand over her heart. It was beating fast, she had a blush, an emotion she never felt before emerged, it was love at first 'check'.

Yup... She's BONKERS!

He came and went, unnoticed, but left a shadow that would forever be in her heart~

A shadow, without a face, and yet... the most handsome figure could be imagined~

A figure, that could only be described as... Perfection~

Qianye Ying'er took off her clothes and entered her bath, her slender jade-like fingers sliding to her sacred garden as her other hand pinched her cherry nipples. She never felt this way before! The thrill of the mystery! The danger of an unknown enemy! The exhilaration of the game... And yet the sour taste of a unrequited romance that would only come to a climax at one of their deaths!

Like an endless dance~

Drifting in the wind~

My mind only thinks of you~

Qianye Ying'er moaned, digging her fingers inside her cave, craving the satisfaction of a sweet release and yet not being able to reach it...

It was intoxicating!

Her eyes widened as she came over her fingers imagining her little beast in chains as a loyal dog. A thought appeared in her mind 'Is this love?' A simple yet unanswerable question... 'Perhaps...' using her fingers once more, finishing the thought in her mind 'It could just be~'

That day was pure bliss for Qianye Ying'er, the 'Omega Yandere'.

Meanwhile

Cross had reached the God Realm of Absolute Beginning and entered it, storing away his Ark and preparing himself to by constantly fighting for 2 years. This was a mental preparation but also and physical one! Going inside and diving head first into a horde of beasts was going to hurt. A lot.

He didn't really care to much about the pain.. More so the rate of his strength increasing. He wanted to be AT LEAST Divine Spirit Realm Peak, while he was currently Divine Tribulation Peak. He actually cared very much for his Tribulation, if his theory was correct, he could jump several months of training by absorbing the Lightning.

Perhaps reaching the Divine Spirit Realm 5th level from one break through was a possibility! Of course, this depended on his Tribulation size. He hoped he got a big one. At least something that would help him advance and not a small, weak, static shock.

Dispersing his thoughts on the matter, he drilled into the God Realm of Absolute Beginning and sped along the ash-grey grass, on the hunt for any beasts that caught his eye. It was Do or Die, and he had a lot of things he wasn't done with.
