"BB!?" Adrian said with a dull face as he and the bear stood in front of a massive gate decorated with multiple colored glowing orbs.
"Raw!" BB roared in return.
"Still can't talk, f… oh well, now, why are cultivators celebrating Christmas?… Do they think immortal Santa will come and give them spirit stones as he checks the name of the naughty vators," Adrian said, pointing to the figures flying on a massive sword as they carried large presents with spells.
"Why would Santa even give them presents? I can pick out someone randomly, and they are bound to have committed at least ten crimes against the Geneva convention." Adrian complained as the both of them walked into the town.
The town was filled with multiple families strolling about in joy as they handed out gifts, objects falling from an enormous portal, and crowds rushing to get theirs.
Countless bulbs flew across the sky, carried by a string of energy that behaved like a mist.
"Doing too much! But it's good! I am not a hater. I know when something is awesome… Well, sometimes at least."
Adrian said walking to a stand with an old man in a red-white hat and—
"Motherfu- why are you dressed as Santa, and what is even all this?!-" Adrian asked as he sat down with the help of BB on the floating stool with monochrome lights below it.
"Santa!?" The man dressed as Santa questioned and said, "How are you talking, child!?"
The man then said in confusion as he looked at that baby that barely reached his foot.
Adrian ignored him and asked, "What's the occasion?"
"Occasion? Oh, well, of course, this is the millennial anniversary of the nascent soul cultivator Krampus! The man who defeated the child demon nauther!"
The 'Santa' said with a fanatic expression.
"•__•"
"Is there something in the air? I feel like I'm having hallucinations at this point, man!"
Adrian said, turning around and seeing a figure from the corner of his eyes
A beautiful woman with a bow and arrow walking around with a massive armed man and a dagger-wielding child.
"Jane?" Adrian stood up from his stool in shock as he cleared the cultivators that blocked his path, almost getting stepped on multiple times.
"JANE!!" Adrian screamed, getting closer to them, only for the scene to flash continuously.
He collided with a leg that caused him to fall backward. Adrian hurriedly got up and glanced back at the location.
.
.
.
He saw a family of three playing around with smiles on their faces with the man carrying a small boy up in the sky who held a wooden knife as the looked at the boy with a caring expression.
It wasn't Jane.
"Why do I have so many hallucinations? Is there a drug here, or is it me being weird again!?" Adrian said as he walked back, but not before giving a disgusted glance at the woman who made him fall.
The woman looked at him with a haughty expression and said, "Clumsy mortal children!" Before leaving.
Adrian had a shocked face before reacting and giving a middle finger.
"Yeah, I am definitely going to delete her when I re-ascend back, believe that!"
Adrian said with BB coming to him and licking his face while picking him up from the floor.
"BB, do you think I'm crazy!?" Adrian asked, still a bit shaken up.
"Rawr!" BB roared as she nodded her head left and right.
"Then, what was that? What is happening to me!? Arch! You know what! fuck thinking. Let's have some fun, aye!" Adrian said in a down mode before cheering up and raising his hands.
The duo wandered around the town, going to a massive red-gold Pagoda/Restaurant with red and white banners and eating heaps of food.
They eventually caused a food fight to break out, which lead to them getting kicked out by the waiter with an oversized mallet as they ran out with a bowl of noodles and a red scarf wrapped around their neck.
They eventually stopped, making some of the edibles fall on the ground.
"Let's not stop!!! we shall have a wonderful Christmas hahaha… Hmm, wait, that is not right at all in any way!
It should be, Ho Ho Ho!" Adrian said as he danced on the back of BB.
"Hey, look, that's similar to those target games back in my old, old universe!" Adrian pointed to an aiming dot, situated on top of a tower with varying levels and a group of people in rapidly floating transparent cubicles, who constantly threw a red orb at the circled targets.
"This will be super easy!! Just follow my lead, ok!"
Adrian said to BB as they stepped to the spot.
"Honey, get me the Jade face mask!"
"Papa, I want the Saber Ashen Tiger!"
"We have the Saber Ashen Tiger at home, son!"
"Dad, that's a Saber Ashen Cat!!"
"My 9999th try. I must get the doll! No matter what."
"I give up. I can't get my hands on the heavenly sealing divine god artifact, 2000th edition."
The place beamed with liveliness as countless practitioners competed for the price before another person got to it.
"Ahh, just like home, but xianxified, of course," Adrian said as he moved to a square-marked spot that enveloped the duo in a transparent film and caused them to float to the sky.
Adrian felt he was both weakened and not at the same time.
"So a bit like a VR… also needs spirit crystals. Well, good thing that I got countless amounts of that and put it in inventory before I came here. I could flood the economy if I wanted to!"
Adrian thought before scanning everyone in the cubicles beyond him and found another interesting.
"Hmm, everyone is at the same level. I see— time to give them what I call the pro gamer treatment!!"
Adrian said with a devious smile as an alluring, smooth, soft to touch, transparent, sky blue, mystical, silky round ball materialized on his hands
"A mage stomps a cultivator in everything at the same level… now take my pro gamer skills you, &):/@@:"
Adrian started throwing his balls at the holes at unnatural speeds.
Countless pings sounded as the balls inserted themselves sequentially, provoking the rest of the cultivators to look at the endless flashing lights that brightened up the place.
"How?" They collectively thought as Adrian went ballistic, constantly winning prices, all with a diabolical smile.
"Haha, you thought you could match me, you fucking turds…! Get rekt…! No scope…! Mald…! Bitchless…! Fatherless…! Noob!!!" Adrian said with no remorse, even occasionally hitting the balls of other players and making them lose their chances.
"I pray on your downfall, where I come from we fuck n**** Like you, Straight Anal! No…LUBE! Yeah, we're on that young boy arc! Get clipped."
Adrian at this point did not go after the marks but after the players' projectiles.
"Bastard!"
"What is that man's background?"
"Who gives a fuck—kill him!!!"
"No!!! my cagashez!"
Adrian smiled, happy he caused them misfortune, "Yes, simp me, make me feel like this is an Emo's Onlyfans Account."
His hands raised to the air as the booths dropped, and out came raging cultivators with their weapons pointing toward Adrian at the top.
"Let's fuck him up and leave him without a body!!"
A neatly dressed man pointed a cyan spear at Adrian.
"Let's?? Fuck me yourself, you coward!"
Adrian said from up as he threw a ball at the man. The man deflected it and said.
"Yeah?"
Adrian, with confidence, countered.
"Yeah!"
"Then I might be into that kind of thing!!" The man said with his voice slightly lower.
"Yoo… what?"
Adrian said, falling to the ground, shocked to the core at what he just heard.
"Out of pocket… I get that I played right into that one, but seriously man, boundaries, please!"
Adrian said in frustration as he thought up ways to get out of the current situation.
Soon, his eyes brightened with inspiration. "Oh yes, I'm rich!"
The cubicle gradually landed back to the ground, and the practitioners stared with red eyes and evil smiles as they brandished their weapons.
It opened up with a cloud of smoke coming out of it.
Numerous spirit crystals and artifacts soared out like a tsunami, and stronger cultivators instantly reacted, trying to grab most of the riches before the others.
It was chaos as they started fighting each other like savages.
Adrian and BB slipped away, with Adrian getting one last hit in, "Merry Christmas mother fuckers, Ho Ho Ho!!"
