The next morning
Cross was woken up from Yun Che saying "Aiyo! Wake up!" Cross sat up and yawned, he looked around and saw that his family was still there, he sent Luna, Feng Xue'er, Zephyr, and Pandora back to the inner world, directly to their beds.
Jasmine woke up and blushed before drilling into the Pearl, embarrasingly.
Yun Che chuckled and said "Nice night?" Cross got up and grinned "Heaven." Yun Che laughed and said "Come with me, my parents want to meet you." Cross laughed before suppressing it and saying 'shyly' "Oh... But I don't even have a gift~" Yun Che retched and kicked out saying "You're gross!"
Cross burst out laughing and followed Yun Che down into the house, floating behind him, still laughing his ass off. Yun Che entered a room with a pissed off face, but he still has a smirk on his face.
Mu Yurou, Yun Qinghong, Yun Canghai, Xiao Lie, and Xiao Yun looked over at them. Cross stifled his laughter and said "Hello! I'm Yun Che's big brother! You can say that I'm a protector I guess? I don't know... maybe one day I'll kill him."
Yun Che almost spit out blood and Cross chuckled saying "Just kidding.. Nice to meet you, I'm Cross." Mu Yurou smiled happily and said "Such a handsome son!" her eyes were shining and she grabbed him, hugging him tightly.
The problem was her arms were around Cross' neck, he wasn't going to use any strength but he was choking. He tapped saying "Mrs.. Mrs. Yun.. I.. I can't breathe!" She loosened her grip and giggled as she said "I can't help it! You're so cute!" as she took a brush and brushed his hair.
Cross felt awkward and Yun Che burst out laughing, Yun Qinghong shook his head and Mu Yurou grabbed him and said "What are you laughing at?!" Yun Che was caught by the big devil and she combed his hair as well.
Xiao Yun looked down, but was grabbed by Mu Yurou, who said "You little brat! You think I don't want you anymore? You're so cute, I couldn't abandon you even if I tried!" Xiao Yun was probably the only one who didn't struggle and was happy to have his hair combed.
Yun Qinghong sighed and said "Rou'er-" his voice was choked back by a deadly glare from Mu Yurou, he scratched his cheek and turned to Canghai, who gave him a 'I'm disappointed in you' look. Xiao Lie smiled happily and Mu Yurou said "So my beautiful boys. Where are my grandchildren and daughter-in-laws."
Xiao Yun said "Well.. You see.. I.. Uhh..." he looked at Cross and Yun Che, who both gave him a thumbs up, he sighed and said "Seventh Sister left yesterday..." Mu Yurou looked at Cross and Yun Che, who both trembled.
Cross said "Well.. You see.. Umm..." Yun Che ratted him out saying "They're all with Cross!" Cross cursed "You bastard!" Mu Yurou gave Cross a deadly look and said "Spit 'em out, brat." Cross whimpered and waved.
A crack opened and everyone from his inner world came out. Cross gulped and said "En. Good luck ladies." Mu Yurou dropped the boys in shock before clapping happily and saying "Wonderful! Wonderful! hahahaha! I can die happy!" she grabbed all the girls and kids and dragged them to another room.
Ling Jie and Xenophilius were left.
Xenophilius sat next to Xiao Lie and Canghai as he said "This place is nice." Canghai laughed and patted his shoulder saying "Old Xeno! This is my home! Let me show you around, you too Old Lie!" he happily showed his friends around, leaving Yun Qinghong, Yun Che, Cross, Xiao Yun, and Ling Jie in the room.
Yun Qinghong coughed and said "6?" Cross said "Actually, two are mine..." Yun Che coughed and added "The ones without Bead necklaces are mine." Ling Jie said "Cross is my master and Yun Che is my boss."
Xiao Yun said "I..." before sighing and not saying anything anymore. Yun Qinghong nodded and said nothing. The atmosphere was a bit awkward until Cross took out a deck of cards saying "Anybody for Poker?"
Yun Qinghong asked "Poker?" Cross explained to them all what poker was and took out a case filled with Poker chips he made personally. They all started to play. Cross took out his wine and poured out 5 bowls as they played.
A LONG while later
The girls and kids came back to see, Cross curse with a blush on his face "You fucker! You had Aces the entire time?!" Yun Qinghong laughed and raked in the chips saying "Get on my level, scrub." Yun Che threw his cards down and said "I can't fucking believe this! 4 Aces! I thought you had Queens!"
Xiao Yun smiled and said "He bluffed last time too..." Ling Jie slammed the table and said "I don't believe it! Again!" Cross collected the cards and shuffled them extremely fast, before dealing again. Mu Yurou cleared her throat and the 5 froze, she said "What are you doing?"
The 5 started to sweat profusely.
Yun Qinghong coughed and chided the other 4 "You shouldn't gamble. It's a very bad habit!" Ling Jie, Xiao Yun, Yun Che, and Cross felt their mouths twitch, before they shook their heads and said in unison "Good luck, Old man."
Mu Yurou giggled and caught Yun Qinghong's ear, dragging him off saying "Very bad habit, eh?" Yun Qinghong shouted "You little bastards! Don't think I don't know how many chips I have!" The other four chuckled and then a series of coughs were heard.
Yun Che and Cross froze, they stiffly turned their heads to see a group of women 'smiling' at them. Yun Che just chuckled with a cold sweat and Cross smiled "How was it?" Luna snorted and brought Feng Xue'er, Zephyr, and Pandora into the inner world, leaving a sentence "See you tonight."
Cross gulped and Yun Che was dragged off by Chu Yuechan and the other 3 girls.
Cross sighed and said "Game's over..." Ling Jie chuckled and said "By the way Master... Did you finish the last two steps of 'Void Step'?" Cross said "The 4th... why? Have you mastered the 3rd already?" Ling Jie shook his head and said "No. But Junior sister has... She fells embarrassed asking you so.."
Cross tapped his finger on Ling Jie's forehead and said "Tell your junior sister to come see me later." Ling Jie nodded excitedly before jumping into a crack and disappearing. Cross turned to Xiao Yun and said "So tell me about this girl, little bro."
Xiao Yun was embarrassed and said "Well, she's really sweet and kind, I love her to death. I would easily trade my life for hers.." Cross looked at Xiao Yun silently as he went on and on about the girl, Cross took out a vial and dripped drops of blood into it before dripping a sliver of green crystalline liquid into it.
He closed the vial and shook it before throwing it to Xiao Yun, who caught it and asked "What's this?" Cross said "Early Wedding Gift." Xiao Yun was stunned and opened his mouth to refuse but Cross said "The things I give, do not come back. Understand?"
Xiao Yun sighed before smiling saying "Thank you.. Big bro." Cross smiled and said "No problem." as he took another drink from his gourd.
A while later
Cross was sitting at the table with Yun Che, Mu Yurou, Yun Qinghong, and Xiao Yun. All the girls went back to the inner world.
Cross pointed at Mu Yurou and Yun Qinghong, his fingers glowed green and a light shot into their bodies. He went back to drinking as if he had done nothing. Mu Yurou and Yun Qinghong said "Our injuries... They're gone!"
Cross waved and said "A little bit of Sword energy and cold poison is absolutely nothing to me. I already killed the Sun and Moon young lust beast. I might as well kill the rest too." Yun Che chuckled and Cross smiled before leaving the house saying "I won't intrude on your family anymore."
Before anybody could say anything, he blurred and disappeared. Mu Yurou sighed and Yun Che said "He.. From what I've heard, he doesn't have parents.. Or rather, he doesn't know who or where they are..." Mu Yurou sighed again and said "I would gladly take him in..."
Yun Che just shook his head and they started talking.
A while later
Cross was drinking on the roof alone, when Yun Che appeared and said "I have to talk to you." Cross said "Then talk." Yun Che said "The matter regarding Might Sword Region and the Sun and Moon sect... I don't want your help."
Cross drank from his gourd and said "You sure?" Yun Che nodded seriously and said "This is my family's problem. I will take revenge myself." Cross sighed and said "Whatever you say." Yun Che smiled and said "Also.." he the took out a roll of jade strips, adding "Time to practice a new skill~"
Cross smirked and threw the gourd into a crack as he held the jade strips, he memorized the entire thing before giving it to Yun Che saying "Oh yeah, don't forget. A month later... I'll make a thunderstorm and you'll get your animal form." Yun Che nodded and grinned as he sat down and read the jade slips.
Cross started cultivating Hidden Flowing Lightning and Extreme Mirage Lightning.
A month later
Cross, Yun Che, Feng Xue'er, and Luna were sitting outside in a thunder storm Cross had made. Cross passed around bottles of potions and told them the words before drinking his potion. The rest did as they were told and started transforming.
Luna turned into a pure white Rabbit with red eyes, she was big for a rabbit but extremely slender. Absolutely beautiful!
Feng Xue'er directly transformed into a Phoenix, she was huge and her feathers shined like rubies, she was stunning beautiful.
Yun Che transformed into a Dragon Qilin, but he had wolf claws instead of hooves. He looked pretty cool.
Finally...
Cross transformed and an earth shattering roar sounded, Cross turned into the image that appeared behind him! It had a long pointed end tail, extremely muscular limbs and body, two horns on his head and his head narrowed slightly, his tongue ended in a point and his mouth was full of razor sharp teeth. On the sides of his neck there were open slits that glowed with a bloody red light.
Cross was big! Bigger than a person by several times! He shrank down and slapped his paw down, the rest reverted and stared at Cross in shock. Luna said "What is that?" Cross responded "King of the Void Beasts..." before reverting and revealing himself.
Luna smiled and said "Cool~ I got a Jade Rabbit~" Cross smiled and kissed Luna and Feng Xue'er before saying warmly "Go back, cuties." they giggled and jumped back into the inner world. Cross turned to Yun Che saying "The Qilin eh?" Yun Che threw his hands up and said "With dog paws!"
Cross burst out laughing and they went back to the Yun Manor. Cross said into his necklace "When you get your body, you will get one too." Jasmine snorted in reply saying "Hmph! N-Not that I w-w-wanted one a-anyway!"
Cross chuckled and teleported into the Pearl, hugging Jasmine from behind and whispering "My little Jassy feels left out~ Hmmm, maybe a few kisses will help?" as he kissed her neck, Jasmine blushed but still snorted, Cross slipped his hands into her shorts and massaged her thighs as she sat on the bed.
He leaned back, taking her with him as he nibbled on her ear and massaged her creamy thighs. Jasmine moaned softly before saying "You... You're really a pervert..." Cross whispered "I think you mean 'MY pervert'" Jasmine blushed deeply and Cross kissed her lips, gazing his thumb against her sacred garden.
Jasmine moaned into his mouth and Cross slipped his tongue inside. Jasmine felt his tongue softly lick her own, he tasted.. So sweet. She wrapped her arms around his head behind her and returned his kiss passionately.
They were interrupted by Hong'er, who said "Eh? What are you two doing? Is this the legendary molesting that father talked about!?" Jasmine froze and her face, neck, and ears turned red before she pushed Cross away muttering "Pervert!"
Cross spun in the air and scratched his neck while chuckling, cursing Hong'er in his heart. This little girl! Can you go eat a sword and sleep somewhere else?! He grumbled and kissed Jasmine, whispering in her ear "When you get your body... I will eat you for sure!" steam came out of Jasmine's head and she pushed him away saying "Go! Out! Leave! Pervert! Go, Go, Go, Go, Go!"
Cross chuckled and disappeared as he left the Pearl and returned to practicing the Techniques from the Jade Slip.
Another month passed
It was time for the Yun Family Competition!
