Side Story: Qingyue and Yue

Location: <My World> mansion. Back at the time when Wang Lei left for the Town of Ur.

Qingyue and Yue were enjoying their time in <My World>, when a Haulia tribe woman came to them, "Qingyue-san, Yue-san…" She said, nervously looking towards them.

"What happened?" Yue asked. Qingyue also looked towards her, questionably.

"Em… the thing is…" She tried to say something with her eyes darting everywhere but to them.

"Don't be nervous and tell us, is there something bothering you?"Qingyue asked.

"NO! Nothing is bothering us. Instead, we are grateful to Wang Lei-sama for providing us with such a beautiful shelter where we can live in peace!" said the woman in panic, thinking that they might have misunderstood her.

"Then what's the problem?" Qingyue asked. She was confused, the same with Yue. If there's no problem, then why is she nervous.

Taking a deep breath, the woman said, "Actually, the chief has a talk with us and we thought that Wang Lei-sama has done so much for us and yet we have done nothing for him. So, we all have decided to become strong enough to support Wang Lei-sama and his waives. But we don't know what to do to become strong, as normally, one would fight with monsters but as you can see, there is no monster in this place. So, we were wondering whether you can train us?" Hearing her, Qingyue and Yue were surprised as the Haulia tribe hated fighting and anything related to it. They were way too soft to fight or hurt someone.

Qingyue and Yue looked towards each other's eyes and nodded. "We don't mind training you but are you sure? You know how strong Wang Lei is, right? To become his strength or any of us is not so easy." Yue said.

The woman who heard it was startled but then—hurriedly—maintain her demure, she nodded with determination. "Of course, we know. That's why we have readied ourselves for it! No matter how tough the training is, we will not run or back down!"

Qingyue and Yue who heard her smile. "Then let's go, but first, what is your name?" Qingyue asked.

"It's Mina, Mina Haulia." Said Mina, bowing.

Nodding Qingyue and Yue went towards the west side of the mansion where Wang Lei has created a forest for the Haulia tribe to live.

Reaching the forest, they saw as all the Haulia tribe members were already waiting for their arrival. Cam came out and bowed, "Thank you for listening to our selfish request and helping us, Qingyue-dono and Yue-dono".

Shaking her head, Qingyue said. "It's alright, Elder Cam. I am happy that you are trying to change so you can be of help to brother"

Cam and other members who heard it, had tears in their eyes as they started to cry while Qingyue and Yue were looking at their exaggerated reaction with a stoic expression. 'There's no need to get this much emotional over something so little' thought Qingyue.

After their little crying session ended, Qingyue said. "Then follow me, Elder Cam, I will take all of you to training place" Hearing it Cam nodded and followed after her and Yue.

After walking for half an hour, they reached a dark basement with nothing in it, expect its cold walls that gave one feeling of death and solitude just by looking at them.

"I have heard from Mina that your tribe is proficient in detecting the presence of others?" Qingyue, standing and looking at the basement like building, asked.

Cam hearing her nodded proudly, "That's right! When it comes to presence detecting, no one is better than us, The Haulia Clan!" He boasted.

Qingyue and Yue had a mischievous smile on their face as they hide their presence, "What do you say now, Elder Cam. Can you tell us apart from nature?" Asked Qingyue, smiling.

Cam and other wide-eyed looked at them as they couldn't feel their presence when they were standing just before them 'Such perfect concealment!' Cam smiled bitterly, "It seems that we were ignorant…" Others also nodded at his comment, not denying it.

Qingyue shook her head, "Don't be down, Elder Cam. From today on, we will train you on how to become the best sensors. It is one of the arts that brother has given us before going. It's called <Haki>" Cam and others listen to her attentively, "It is divided into three forms <Conquered Haki>, <Observation Haki> and <Armament Haki> with every branch having different usage. From today on, you and other Clans members will start to learn <Observation Haki> that allows you to use your other senses to gather information from your surroundings." Qingyue explained.

Time in <My World> and the outside world was different from 1:2, mean one day here would be two days outside. Wang Lei didn't want to create a big difference or things would change outside while people inside wouldn't even age.

After Qingyue explain everything about <Haki> to them, she sends them inside the basement looking building. It was built for the training for those who want to learn <Haki>; especially, <Observation Haki>. Her brother called it, Virtual Training. Anyone going inside would be transferred to a different sub-dimensions where light from their eyes would be taken—blinding them. They will be attacked from different monsters and things though wounds receive in there would not appear in reality as it is Virtual but the pain would be real.

Once everyone was inside; except some children who were way too young for the training, Qingyue and Yue left and went back to the mansion.

"Can you tell me about Wang Lei's childhood, Big Sister?" Yue asked. She wanted to know more about him, it was one of the reasons she didn't leave for the Town of Ur with him but stayed with Qingyue inside the <My world>.

Qingyue hearing her nodded and smiled, "Why not, let's go the garden and I will tell you everything about the brother and the world from where we are from." She said as she and Yue went to the garden and started to talk about Wang Lei's childhood. There were not many stories as Wang Lei mostly stayed home and hardly went out to do anything. "Sometimes, whenever I would be sad or upset, Brother would take me to a place filled with nothing but flowers and tranquility and sing a song for me…" Qingyue says with a silly smile on her face and a little blush. Yue could tell that Qingyue was in cloud nine talking about her past with Wang Lei but she listened to it attentively as it was quite interesting.

After talking for about 3 to 4 hours they finally stopped. "Say, big sis… should we try to enter 'that' room" Yue said with an impish smile on her face.

"You mean 'that' room… but the brother has locked it with this world's power," Qingyue said.

Yue smirks became bigger as she said, "But before he left he gave us control over this world. As long as it's not related to the Fundamental Laws of this world we can change or do anything!" Qingyue wide-eyed looked towards her as she had an epiphany. Thinking for a second, Qingyue nodded and with Yue, they went to the most secret and off-limit place of the mansion.

They both were stood in front of a door that was completely shut with no entry sign at the top of it. Yue smirked and points her palm towards it as it started to shine. Ding! With the sound of something unlocking Yue and Qingyue gulped as they opened the door.

Inside the room was different cases of glass in which one could see different figures of women or be more precise it was figurines of different anime's and manga's heroines and heroes!

"This…" Qingyue looked in wonder at the figurines. She couldn't remember any of these women. 'Who are these? Are they brother's secret lovers?!'

Yue walked in and saw a box with the word 'Research Material' on it. Curious, she opened it. "THIS!!" She wide-eyed looked at the content inside the box. Qingyue hearing her loud voice also walked towards her and saw the 'Research Materials' as blush started to crept on her face, that deepens with every second. "hm… hm… so this is what he likes" Said Yue as she, with a blush, attentively was going through the materials.

After reading to her satisfaction and hiding most of it inside her ring, Yue walked in and saw a glass case at the end of the one of the room with a spotlight on it. Inside of it was a robe—probably of a five to six years old child—with different things that she thought to be toys. It had 'Sacred Treasure' written on it.

"What is this?" she asked, looking towards Qingyue who had little blush. Her brain was still trying to process with all the 'knowledge' she has gained. "Those are my robes when I was a kid and the toys that I played with." She said, trying hard to control her emotions. Yue who heard her had her brow twitched, 'Just how much of a sis-con he is!'

She walked more in and she felt as the surrounding atmosphere started to change—becoming more solemn. It was not only the atmosphere but even the decorations or cases were becoming less and less until it was only the wall with different pictures of dragons and phoenixes.

Reaching the end, she saw a big statue of a man, wearing robes giving one ancient feeling. Qingyue also looked at the statue of a man. He looked quite ordinary with no special features. He had long black here that reached up to his waist with black and blue robes with golden exotic patterns. He was sitting on a dragon throne. Though he looked nothing but a mortal, Qingyue and Yue could tell that he was someone who has reached the pinnacle of Supreme. Though it was just a normal sculpture they still had an urge to kneel before it. "Who is he?" Yue asked. Qingyue shook her head as her brother has never told her.

Yue looked down where she saw something written. It was so small that one might ignore it. Focusing on it, she read it, "Prime Emperor Li Qiye. Who is that?... anyway there's nothing else here to see" Yue said as they started to leave the room. 'With this knowledge, I will conquer him!'

"Should we asked him about this, big sister?" Qingyue nodded talking a last glance at all the figurines with a sharp eye.
