Cross took an entire month to get back to the Sword Villa. What did you expect? He was across the world! He landed on the sword formation and teleported inside, next to Yun Che.
Yun Che jumped and said "You're back!" Cross nodded and said "Yeah." Yun Che nodded before realizing "Wait. You could've gotten me out of here whenever!?" Cross made an awkward face and said "Yeah... About that..." he just disappeared again as Yun Che swung at him.
Cross was standing in the Sky Poison Pearl. He looked in front of him to see a skinny looking Jasmine, he felt his heart tighten and he walked forward. Jasmine turned around hearing footsteps and saw Cross.
Jasmine POV
I was startled looking at him. I haven't seen him for over a year since the incident.. I missed him, no matter how much I tried to forget about him, I just couldn't. He did so much for me. The hardest things to find for my body, he found them on his own.
So many words came to my head but I couldn't choose a single one to say.. I opened my mouth to say something at least, but I never got the chance. He pulled me towards him and kissed me..
HE KISSED ME?!
My brain went blank, I didn't know what to think. Nothing came to me, I only felt a bubbly happiness take over as I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck. It felt natural and sweet.
My world lit up, finally showing colors for the first time in 16 months. I lost myself in the feeling until it disappeared, I opened my eyes, confused as to why he stopped kissing me. He looked at me with gentle eyes, I touched my face and felt tears.
His eyes were so gentle and warm, I could look into them all day. Cross caressed my cheek as he said "I'm sorry." I felt stuffy inside, why was he apologizing? It was my fault in the first place.. I tried to speak but he continued with a smile "I know what you're going to say but it wasn't. I am the one you should blame, if I didn't try and run away from my feelings you wouldn't have to suffer for so long."
I didn't know what to say, everyday he left hurt so much. I hated myself for doing what I did. Sometimes I thought it would be better to die to the poison than feel the way I did, but these words from him...
The swept everything away, all my sadness and pain. Everything was gone and replaced with a blissful feeling, as if everything was going to be okay now that I had him. I couldn't hold back anymore and cried into his strange clothes, gripping him tightly, afraid that if I let go I will lose him again.
Cross hugged me, he pulled me into his embrace and rubbed my back softly. I sobbed and said "You.. You won't leave again.. will you?" Cross kissed my head and whispered "Not until I die." I exploded with warmth and hummed softly in response as I soaked in his warmth and care, closing my eyes.
He was so calming...
(Back to normal)
Cross looked at Jasmine and picked her up in a princess carry before putting her in her bed and pushing her red hair away from her face. He couldn't quite place the feeling he had for her but he was happy that he was with her now.
He tucked her in and kissed her forehead before leaving the Pearl to Yun Che.
Yun Che was talking with his grandfather, Cross appeared and said "Well, your Profound strength is stronger now, so I guess it was good that you stayed here." Yun Che clicked his tongue and said "Easy for you to say, you've been traveling for the entire time!"
Cross chuckled and said "We should probably leave, no? Cang Yue is probably waiting for you." Yun Che said "You think I don't want to? This guy has to die if we want to leave." Yun Canghai felt funny and said "Oi brat. I'm your grandfather, not some guy!"
Yun Che just chuckled and the old man sighed with a smile, Cross looked at Yun Canghai and said "I sealing formation... Locked into your heart? Child's play!" he spread out his hands and strings shot out drilling into Yun Canghai's chest and locking the chains around him before Cross clenched his hand and everything snapped.
Cross grabbed Yun Canghai and said "Go relax with Xiao Lei and my father-in-law, okay?" before throwing him into the inner world, handing him to Luna. Yun Che got agitated and said "You could do that the whole time!?" Cross smacked his head and said "Oi! Even if you're in the Earth Realm now, I'm still stronger than you!"
Yun Che smirked and rubbed his head as he said "You're still a bastard.." Cross chuckled and didn't deny it as he collected the meteorite chains and said "Let's get the fuck out of here." Yun Che grinned and Cross teleported them both out, before disappearing completely.
A while later
Cross was sitting outside the palace as Yun Che was in a room with Cang Yue. Didn't take a genius to figure out what was going on inside. She had waited for so long, she deserved a good bang. Cross was standing guard outside, playing with the Earth Evil God seed in his hands.
So far he had found two without Yun Che. The first one was with Artemis and the other one was in his hands, he didn't know how anybody was supposed to find them. Two places would definitely kill a normal person, but then again, was the inheritor of a god a normal person? Definitely not.
Cross was hovering in the air as if he was sitting in a hammock, one hand was behind his head and the other was holding open a book. He couldn't help but say, the novels around here sure were garbage. The erotic ones were even worse!
He decided to write his own and took out a book and a quill. The book hovered next to him and he thought of the words while he read the book in his hand.
A god at multitasking!
While Cross was reading and writing, Yun Che had apparently finished and came out with Cang Yue, who had a deep blush and wobbly legs. She smiled softly and rubbed her stomach as she said "Did you see Chu Yuechan? Is the child cute?"
Yun Che froze and said "What child?" Cang Yue said "You didn't know? She was pregnant when you got stuck in the sword." Yun Che's eyes widened and he said "Yue'er I will come back." before dashing out of the imperial city.
Cross closed his open mouth and sighed, Cang Yue looked over and asked "Why are you sighing?" Cross replied "Because little Yueyue is with me, not at Frozen whatever sect..." Cang Yue slapped her forehead and sighed as she said "Why didn't you say anything before?"
Cross rolled his eyes and said "I'm doing something, why didn't you go for round 2?" Cang Yue's face turned red and she stuttered "Y-Y-Y-Y-YOU!" Cross chuckled and teased "The noises you make are very cute, princess~"
Cang Yue covered her face and shrieked, running back into her room and slamming the door. Cross chuckled and continued writing his book. It was about a boy who lived in a closet before becoming a wizard. He chuckled and thought of the look on Harry's face when he read it, it would be priceless!
A few weeks came and went
Cross had finished his book and titled it 'The boy who lived' he had already published it under the name 'God of Literature', copies were being sold everywhere in the world. Cross didn't care about the money and just handed the accounts to Cang Wanhe, who was thrilled and almost offered his own daughter to him.
Cross declined with a funny look, Cang Wanhe was helpless, the favor Cross just did for him was immense. The revenue from the book was so much that the Empire was thriving based on the sales alone!
Cross was currently writing another book and Cang Yue was sitting next to him, reading the Boy who lived.
Far away
Harry looked at the book and rubbed his forehead with a funny look. Ginny giggled on the side and said "I only know one person who would do that.." Harry opened the book and read the words on the first page 'To a friend I haven't seen in a long time, I hope you're doing well in this strange world. -CG' Harry lifted his glasses and smiled as he said "Yeah, nobody else comes to mind."
Ginny smiled and held a little boy as they continued their little journey.
Back to the Palace
Yun Che came back in a depressed mood, but Qingyue was with him this time. Cross looked over and said "What happened?" Yun Che said "Little Fairy is missing, Grandpa Lie and Little aunt are gone too, and the Dragon God spirit dissipated after giving me something."
Cross chuckled and waved his hand, a crack opened and Yuechan walked out holding a little girl, so did Lingxi. Yun Che was floored, they were here the whole time!? What kind of joke was this? He looked at Cross and said "Why didn't you tell me?!"
Cross rolled his eyes and said "You can away so fast to go find her I didn't even get the chance to speak. What do you want from me?" Yun Che ignored him and said "Little fairy, your veins?!" Yuechan held Wuxin and smiled as she pointed her chin at Cross.
Yun Che was speechless, as was Qingyue, she saw Yuchan destroy her veins with her own eyes! Now they seemed to be better than ever!
Cross picked at his ear and Wuxin held her hands out to Cross and grabbing. Cross waved and Wuxin flew through the air and landed on Cross' head. She was only 8 months old, what did she know? His kids were 9 and starting to cultivate slowly as their veins were still growing.
Cross grabbed Wuxin, holding her in the air by the back of her shirt as she giggled, he said "Go inside and talk... 4 women in one room, just thinking about it makes me nervous." Yun Che took Wuxin with trembling hands and Cang Yue watched with a gentle smile as she rubbed her stomach, eager to spread the news.
Yuechan brought Yun Che, Cang Yue, Qingyue, and Lingxi inside the inner world and to a meeting room in the palace. Cross groaned and went inside as well.
Cross pushed out a boat onto the lake and sat in it before taking out a fishing rod and fishing. Yun Che's personal business, wasn't his own so he just left them alone. Little did he know, there was a little fire in his backyard as well.
Cross was fishing peacefully, when two thumps sounded behind him. He turned around and saw Luna and Jasmine looking at him, he put the lit cigarette in his mouth and turned back to the water as he said "Yes, ladies?"
Luna sat down and crossed her legs, looking like a queen, while Jasmine sat next to her with her arms crossed, looking like a princess. Cross looked at them and clicked his tongue as he said "I sure am lucky." before casting his lure again.
Jasmine blushed and Luna said "Just like that?" Cross replied "No, I kissed her. If it was just like that then I would've banged her." he exhaled a mouthful of smile and gave them a smile as he said "I like Jasmine, but just because I accepted my feelings doesn't mean I love her."
Luna nodded with a small smile and Jasmine let out a breath of relief as she said "That's good." Cross nodded and said "I've known you for 2 years, if you loved me that would be weird. At most, I'd say were dating." Jasmine smiled, seemed like she didn't have to go through her speech! As expected of the man she liked!
Jasmine looked at Luna with a bit of a nervous expression. After all, she kind just intruded on their relationship, she wasn't scared just a bit apologetic. How she kept Cross alone for so long, Jasmine will never know.
Luna turned to her and gave her a smile that, at the same time, was not a smile. Jasmine chuckled nervously and clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white. Cross opened his mouth, but decided not to interfere in the end, he only said "Don't scare her."
Luna smiled sweetly and said "I won't~" as she started talking to Jasmine right then and there.
Cross didn't mind, he could listen to their voices all day, it was actually surprisingly peaceful. He looked at the water and Levi popped his head out from the water, crying happily. Cross smiled and threw him a fish as he said "You got much bigger! Do you like your new home?"
Levi nodded excitedly and made several happy growls. Cross smiled and said "Quickly go practice and become a big Leviathan. Then you can come outside with me and fly in the sky!" Levi shot over the boat in an arc before diving down to the depths again.
Cross smiled and listened in on Luna and Jasmine's conversation curiously. His face turned black when he heard the nonsense they were spouting.
