Title: Xin and leaving.
...
Shun's POV.
Looking at the masses kneeling and bowing below made me feel annoyed for some reason j didn't want to delve into, so using my telepathy, I erased their memories of me and this incident entirely while making it seem like the Blackstone King suddenly became a Devil Emperor and killed the Blood Emperor guy.
As for the repercussions it'll bring to the Blackstone Valley, Shun didn't want to bother about it as he had the intention of actually making the Blackstone King an Emperor.
"I see you didn't die." Yuruo looked at me with cold eyes, not even bothering to show any form of respect. I could feel many emotions from her though.
Relief, happiness, joy, love and others.
I knew the entire Universe think I'm dead safe for some people who can actually see the future or past. As for people like Yuruo, it was just pure belief that I wouldn't simply die.
"I see you've got yourself in a rather prickly situation." I said back.
"And who do you think is the reason for that?" She asked back coldly.
"I don't have any idea, can you enlighten me?" I asked in a curious tone. I could feel Juyu behind Yuruo snicker while the Blackstone king chuckled lightly.
"I don't know, some bastard form years ago. Came to my island and managed to make this young miss heads over heels for him. Suddenly he ran and never came back. Tell me is he a bastard or not?"
I shook my head before nodding and saying seriously. "He's certainly one enormous bastard. Tell me, where is he, let me go over and settle your grievances."
"..." She looked at me speechlessly for a moment before chuckling. " I see you're still as shameless as you were back then."
"Haha. I have no idea what you're talking about Yuruo. Care to explain?" I asked in confusion.
"When you were taking advantage of me and touching me all over without intending to marry me, isn't that shameless enough for you?"
Wow... The fact that she's calmly exposing us both in public goes to show how bold this young or perhaps old lady could be. Shaking my head, I said. "It's good to see you again, Yuruo."
It really was good. Of all the people here, only three standing could actually be called my friends.
The Blackstone King, Juyu and Yuruo. All others were on their knees, granted, I wasn't in familiar temrs with them.
...
After having a little chat with them three, I went on to manipulate the memories of everyone that had laid eyes on me since my appearance.
I would like the fact that I'm dead remain as it is with my only close friends knowing otherwise.
After that, I condensed a peach sized chakra fruit with Emperor level Chakra and gave to The Blackstone King while giving Juyu and Yuruo King Level Chakra Fruit.
I had already told them the details they needed to pay attention to in regards to anyone coming over to avenge that Blood guy and my reason for doing so.
They all agreed and took the chakra fruit.
"You're leaving now?" Yuruo asked as I prepared to open a portal to the Fallen God Island.
"Yeah, I did come here for a reason, and I have a family to get back to." I said, not intending to mince words.
Yuruo stiffened for an instant. "Your family, huh?"
"Yeah. Three beautiful wives and children." I answered.
"They must be beautiful for you to remain unmoved by me." She said.
"Yeah, they're the most beautiful, but you'll ever remain my closest friend, remember that." I said and moved to give her a hug only for her to move faster and plant a kiss on my lips.
How I didn't see that coming was one thing, but me not moving and enjoying the kiss, I'd say it was the man in me.
Indulging her for a good minute, I separated from her only for me to feel Juyu flash behind me and turning me around to steal Gers as well.
A minute later, I separated again and looked at the two of them weirdly, "You both know the Blackstone king is still here right?"
I pointed at the blank faced man looking over. Yuruo and Juyu blushed before Yuruo recovered and said. "So what? He should be happy I'm even kissing the strongest Man in this entire universe. I wonder if kissing can make me pregnant, that way, I'd have the child of the strongest Man in the world."
She muttered the last part so only us three heard it.
Not wanting to fall prey to whatever this devilish lady would think up, I flashed into the portal as I said. "We'll meet again."
"... Juyu?" Yuruo called out.
"Yes, young miss?"
"Doesn't that building Shun teleported to look familiar to you?" She asked.
Juyu fell silent as she thought. "Perhaps its the Celestial Lodge?"
Yuruo's eyes opened wide as realization dawned on her, moments later, Juyu too had the same expression as she too realized something.
"That bastard, so that's why he came back. To see that vixen in the Celestial Lodge, huh? Bastard. Bastard. I knew he couldn't do anything good. Humph!" Yuruo cursed as she stumped her feet furiously.
"Alas, young miss. You still managed to kiss him, isn't that a win in your book?" Juyu consoled.
"Of course it was, but now, who knows what perverted things he'd do with that Vixen? No! I can't allow this, I can accept you but not her. Juyu, prepare a ship, we're going to the Fallen God Island immediately!" Yuruo ordered not even minding her father who was looking at her weirdly.
...
Some time in the future, when Yuruo and Juyu arrived at the Celestial Lodge, they got to know that a mysterious man of unknown status visited and made an exchange with the master of the Celestial Lodge for the expertise of one of her most oldest workers.
Immediately after that, every trace of him and the lady seized to exist.
The only one who knew the identity of the Mysterious man was the master of the Celestial Lodge, but even she was sworn to not tell any two ladies anything.
...
As soon as I came out of the portal, I immediately teleported to the location I felt Xin's chakra signature.
Her's was one I can never forget for obvious reasons.
Teleporting to her location I notice some unfamiliar faces with only one familiar one, in that split second, I put them all in a Genjutsu while leaving only the Master and Xin conscious.
"Yo..." I greeted, but before I could complete my greeting, a compressed ball of chakra exploded in my face.
This explosion was strong enough to actually take down any Devil Emperor not to talk about the building we were currently in.
But as a visitor and a past patron, I couldn't allow this fine establishment to be ruined due to my abrupt entrance so I willed.
"Spatial Genesis."
And the entire explosion was sucked into a newly created space while I remained unharmed with my smile still on my face.
"Forgive the abrupt entrance but I would like my Arrival to be of the utmost secret. Xin, long time no see, don't tell me you've forgotten me." I said as I held them both in place to avoid any more confrontation.
The Lodge master, whatever her name is was still struggling to free herself without listening to a word I said or even taking her time to look at her visitor.
Xin however was quite calm for some reason, but hearing my voice and taking a closer look at me, her emotions shifted from calm to excited, then denial, then awe, then relief and finally Joy.
There were other emotions as well but these were the most prevalent.
"You're alive. You're really alive m. Thank goodness." She then began to sob.
What the f?
"When I heard you had died, I couldn't believe it, but when it became a form of myth, I finally came to terms with it." She said in between sobs while looking at me intensely.
I released my hold on her and she walked forward and began touching me all over which I allowed, before she hugged me tightly.
"Thankfully, you're real. You're really real. I would have gone to accompany you wherever you were..." She began before I interrupted her.
"Shh... Now. Now. I'm as fine as I can possibly be, Xin. Wait, don't tell me the reason for your lack of panic was because you thought you'd finally die?" I asked incredulously.
She stiffened and shifted her eyes from me causing me to smile. Really, how could I fault her? She practically have me a second Life only to hear that I was dead.
Even if I was Naruto, I would know she loved me to death.
"Don't worry about it, I'm fine and well. Actually, I came to ask you to come with me."
She suddenly frowned, before looking at me deeply and then smiled. "I can't."
"Why?" "You have three women waiting for you back where you came from right?"
"Hmm." "Then you should go back to them, they need you more than you need me."
Although I get where she's coming from, I didn't need her in that regard, I actually needed her expertise, but I feel like, if I say this, I'll be breaking her heart. How should I put this?
"Sigh. I know, you made that abundantly clear the last time I was here, but this time, I have the power to do the things I want to do with no one to obstruct me. Hence, I need you to come with me to develop my home town or planet." I said, "and I won't be taking no for an answer."
She stood silently for a moment and I could see tears threatening to fall from her eyes and I could already surmise that she's misunderstanding something here, but meh, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
She then looked at the Lodge master who had calmed down considerably while giving me the stink eye even after knowing who I am. She's got guts, I'll give her that.
Probably understanding what's going on and knowing she couldn't reject me, she started. "Xin has served me here for many years and is currently the person with the most suitors, losing her would cause major losses for this establishment so..."
"How much?"
"She's not someone that could be bought with money you know?"
"Then what? Protection?" I asked the lady, surprisingly, I still didn't know her name.
"If you hadn't noticed, I'm not weak, atleast in this entire region and it's neighbours, no one is my match." She said.
Yeah, I noticed, that ball of energy from before would have decimated a Devil Emperor if caught unawares, even if said Emperor was aware, surviving would still take a lot out of him or her, so she's probably a True Lord.
"Hmm. Then name what you want." I said.
"A technique." She said. "Give me a technique you think is worth Xin."
Oh? A technique, huh? I have lots of those, but the one that's worth Xin, huh? I have the perfect one.
Pointing my finger towards her, a ray of light shot out of it and entered her forehead. This light carried all the information on this technique, it's pros and cons as well.
"Use it well, also, select those you give it to. This technique can cause a lot of chaos if in the wrong hands." I warned and immediately opened a portal back to The Island.
"Oh, and if any two girls come asking if my whereabouts, make sure you remain silent, alright?" I asked with a smile that wasn't really a smile.
She squinted her eyes as she could probably feel the threatening aura around me despite me not releasing anything at all.
"Yeah, understood." She answered.
"I appreciate." Saying that, I pulled Xin along and appeared in front of my clone who looked like I had eaten something precious of his.
"What?" I asked.
"2 years. You left me here for two good year! For what!?" The clone screamed.
"To fetch Xin." I said and pointed to Xin beside me looking at us in confusion.
My clone immediately calmed down and put on my signature gentle smile. "Hey Xin, it's been a while hasn't it?"
"No. No, it hasn't, you're me and I just saw her and she met me so it hasn't been a while. Anyways, off you go." I said and snapped my clone out of existence.
I turned to Xin who had that look on her face. "I know, weird, you'd get used to it. But for now, I need to run you through the knows..."
Meanwhile, I had already assimilated everything my clone had for me and was rather surprised at the turn of events this world was taking.
