"She was so beautiful" Fengge thought while he was spying on Jiayi. From her headpiece to her dress. She was well deserved of her title.
He watched as Jiayi walked with her servants heading to her father's hall. Unfortunately, the dark king appeared walking towards Jiayi. Behind him was the three most feared lords of the three realms.
He knew he shouldn't be seen or caught in the dark realm. If his father heard of it, he won't spare him. Using his heavenly powers, he transported himself away immediately.
Jiayi paused for a minute looking around. She could practically feel the chills. Looking at the corner where Fengge had been hiding, she saw nothing and exhaled in relief.
"Father!" Jiayi said throwing herself at her father.
While she was hugging her father, her eyes darted towards Master Sly. She couldn't talk to him in his mind. Her powers compared to the rest of them was still small. They would easily be able to eavesdrop on them.
Stepping back from her father, Jiayi looked at the other lords. As always, Lord Pain was dressed in the most scariest way possible. For some reason, he loved dark red. The color of blood. While Lord Chaos who was also known to be sexy was dressed in grey too.
"Greetings Uncle. Greetings Lord Chaos and Lord Sly. Father, is there a problem? All of you are heading?" Jiayi asked looking around.
"All of you should go ahead." The dark king said talking to the three lords.
While they passed, Jiayi stood still as she heard Lord Sly whisper something in her ear. Turning to her father, she smiled at him hoping he didn't notice anything. As the dark king, her father was very caring and understanding to everyone. The one motto her father had repeatedly said was "Demons should stick together".
"Jiayi, how is your powers lately? Are you having any problems of any sort?" The dark king asked looking worried.
"Don't worry. But tell me. Is there any problem?" Jiayi asked.
"The four cores are starting to show problems. Its getting very dangerous. So we are planning to head to the heavenly realm tomorrow so that we can discuss what we can do concerning the blood core." The dark king said
"The blood core? The core that was located with the ice people?" Jiayi asked
"Yes. But the location changes. That is the problem. So tomorrow, the four of us will go to the heavenly realm."The dark king said
"What? Why don't they come here instead? Father, I think you are giving them too much face" Jiayi said
" I am not the one giving them too much face. Its your mother. Don't go about fighting with her." The dark king said making Jiayi roll her eyes in disgust.
Lord Sly stood waiting for Jiayi. Where was she? She had become too much of a spoilt princess. Now, she even dared to keep him waiting. Just as he was about to lose his temper, the door opened and Jiayi walked in.
"Greetings Master" Jiayi said wrapping her arms round him.
Lord Sly closed his eyes inhaling the smell of her hair. Roses. Intoxicating just like her. He struggled to keep himself sane as she kissed his neck.
"What did you father say to you?" Lord Sly asked
"The cores. Didn't he tell you?" Jiayi asked
"He did. And do you know that we are visiting the heavenly realm tomorrow? I swear that sometimes your father shows just how weak he is. It makes me disgusted" Lord Sly said kissing Jiayi but Jiayi drew back looking at him.
"What? What is it?" Lord Sly asked
"Don't talk like that about my father. Besides, I have no plan on getting rid of him. He has always been the feared dark king who has led the dark realm for ages. Its Yang Han that I detest." Jiayi said getting angry.
"Don't get angry. All in due time. But I better tell you Jiayi. The four cores are essential parts of our powers. I once read it in the book of legends that each core has immerse powers. But together," Lord Sly said
"Together, they will be destructive." Jiayi said smiling.
"I raised such a good disciple." Lord Sly said
"Thank you master." Jiayi said kissing him.
Jiu Bal sat down exhaling as she cleaned her face. She was a martial saint. One step away from ascending. Standing up, she headed to her table to pick up a cup of water. After she drank it, she dropped the cup back.
"First sister!" She heard Su Ying shout before she entered the room
"Su Ying, what are you doing here?" Jiu Bal asked sitting down on her bed as her sister jumped around in excitement.
"Guess what? I am now a Martial Expert!" Su Ying said happily.
"Really? Thats nice. I can't believe it took you three years too reach Martial Expert level." Jiu Bao said smiling.
When her sister started cultivating, everyone thought she would be the first one to ascend. She had been so young but she managed to be five levels ahead of them. Later on she got hooked at a certain level. Or maybe she became too playful. Anyway, Jiayi lost everyone's confidence in time and she had gained everyone's confidence causing her to become the first disciple of her master.
"First sister, don't say that. Second brother has already laughed at me." Su Ying said sitting down at the table.
"How are you? Have you managed to succeed?" Su Ying asked making Jiu Bao sad.
Being the first sister felt like a heavy rock had been placed on her shoulders. And everyday, the rock felt like it was getting heavier on her shoulders. The lotus sect was depending on her to ascend just like her master who became the goddess of virtue.
"No. I haven't been able. I feel so useless!" Jiu Bao said throwing the pillow beside her on the ground.
"First sister, calm down or else you might disturb your Qi ." Su Ying said rushing to her side.
"You are such a good junior sister." Jiu Bao said smiling.
"Yes. Don't look down on me. Rest sister." Su Ying said helping her sister lie down.
Su Ying left after her sister fell asleep. In a way she knew it was her fault. If she had been able to cultivate well before, people wouldn't have placed all their hopes on her sister. Too bad she lost her cultivation base when she was little. It all happened a day before she was supposed to go for a competition. That night she was in her room when she suddenly woke up screaming. Her skin had grown veins. Red veins. And her hair had turned red. Jiu Bao was the only one that had been able to save her using their father's cultivation ring.
But after that day, she lost her cultivation base. And she had been humiliated at the competition. Her father never failed to tell her how much of a failure she was but she didn't care. Looking up, she saw someone who later ran away. Flying up, she ran after the unknown person.
Tingzhe entered through the window sighing. He had finally been able to get rid of that girl. Just as he was about to turn after closing the window, he saw someone throw something at me. Destroying it with his powers, he jumped as Jiu Bao threw ice spikes at him. Seems she wasn't as happy as him.
"Stop! Stop fighting!" Tingzhe said raising his hand.
"Why are you here?" Jiu Bao asked
"I came to see you. Because, I heard you were injured. How are you?" Tingzhe asked
"Its none of your business. Tell me quickly. Why are you here?" Jiu Bao asked
"I already told you. I hope you can listen to me and hear my explanation." Tingzhe said
"What do you want me to hear? What? Where's your beloved Yingtai?" Jiu Bao asked looking behind him.
"She is not here. And she is not my beloved. Jiu Bao, let me explain." Tingzhe said
"No. Don't bother. We are disciples of two different sects. This alone is our barrier. Go. Don't ever come and see me again" Jiu Bao said making Tingzhe laugh.
"Why didn't you say this before? That is the reason why you have rejected me." Tingzhe said
Suddenly the both of them heard a sudden knock on the door making them turn. Jiu Bao walked quickly to Tingzhe hitting him.
"Go away. Its my master" Jiu Bao said talking in his mind.
"No. I am not going until you say something" Tingzhe said replying while Huiquing stood outside the door.
"First sister! Are you in there? Master is looking for you." Huiquing said knocking.
When she didn't hear anything, she summoned her powers about to use it to open the door when she saw the barrier. Her first sister had put up such difficult formation as a barrier. Just what was her sister doing? Using her powers, she tried to destroy the formation just ended up having a black lash causing her to fly across the place landing on the ground.
