Bab 48: XLVII
As the lovely thing known as fate would have it, Rokas' arrival was timed with another.
"It's so cold here…"
Xiao Lingxi remarked after being teleported to the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace's entrance, holding her arms together.
'You're not fooling anyone.' Rokas thought to himself. "To people with low water affinity or overall profound strength, this is expected to happen. The Absolute Region of Ice in the Blue Wind Empire is no joke."
He extended his profound energy to form a barrier, warming Xiao Lingxi.
"Thank you, Lord Phoenix God."
"Long Ke works just fine." Rokas smiled slightly as he glanced back. "Believe it or not, I don't like fancy mancy titles. I am who I am."
"You are too modest, my lord."
'If only she knew I was the one who murked Scum Che off the face of the earth… or rather, ate him whole. Now that I think about it, making her my maid is rather cruel. It wasn't my intention though…'
"What's that falling from above?" Cang Yue suddenly remarked, looking up.
Rokas turned to what she was looking at.
'Isn't this a bit ahead of schedule?'
From the high heavens, a Divine Sovereign and her pupil descended right at the entrance. The pupil caught her master right before she struck the ground. The rest rushed forward to see what had happened while Rokas took steady steps.
"No… Master, you can't die like this…"
"She is dying?" Long Yinping stepped back, her eyes widening as she observed the fallen Mu Bingyun. "Is there anything we can do to help, daddy?"
"Of course." Rokas joined them, his aura of confidence dispersing the panic. "Allow me to attend to your sickly Master."
He was no medical genius… but he had a Heavenly Treasure to deal with that. He snatched Mu Bingyun from Mu Xiaolan and held her up between his arms. Using the Sky Poison Pearl's power, he began to cure her illness.
"You… you shameless perv, what the hell are you doing to my master?"
"Curing her?" Rokas raised an eyebrow. "I'm a married man, young lady. Don't presume that I'd take advantage of a sickly woman."
"Give her back." She stepped forward, frowning.
"Hush."
Rokas created a formation in an instant and caged her inside. Even better, he made it sound-proof. After that, Rokas took Mu Bingyun inside of the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace where he attended to her health properly. Eventually, she did wake.
"... Who are you?"
"Long Ke." Rokas replied with an honest tone. "You sort of fell out of the sky, a step away from death… I thought healing you would be a nice thing to do."
"I see… you possess the Sky Poison Pearl." Mu Bingyun's eyes widened as she glanced at the marking on my left hand and the energy that came from it. "What a strange twist of fate, this is… where is Mu Xiaolan?"
"Your nosy disciple? I put her in a cage." Rokas stroked his chin. "She was stopping me from curing you… so I did what I felt I needed to."
"A cage?" She raised an eyebrow. "Do you come from the Realm of the Gods as well?"
"Well, technically… yes. I came from here, went on a little journey up there and then returned back home. A lot of wild shit happened in the Realm of the Gods so I'm a little stronger than the rest of the people here. So is my wife."
[System: A little bit…]
'A lickle bit innit famalam.'
"..." Mu Bingyun turned to the side, where Cang Yue was standing. She did her best to see through her hiding concealment… and the more she saw, the more stupefied she was. "A… Divine King?"
"Uhm, yeah." Rokas nodded. "My wifey has quite the heavenly talent."
"I would credit most of it to my husband." Cang Yue smiled, shaking her head. "Without him, my strength would not be anything impressive."
"She's too modest." Rokas shook his head. "My Yue has no equal."
"How old are you two?"
"Bloody ancient." Rokas replied. "Too damn old."
"Twenty-four and he is a year younger."
"As I said, we're way too old." Rokas chuckled.
"What methods did you use to reach such heights?" Mu Bingyun could hardly believe it, even her cold tone turned to one of clear disbelief. She first thought that they were lying but neither of them gave a single sign of doing so.
"Aha…" Rokas chuckled, glancing away. "How should I put this? Lots of physical… exercises. I have a special physique for it, some would even call it heaven-defying. I would do a visual demonstration to prove it but such an act would be considered inappropriate by many."
Cang Yue rolled her eyes. "He means dual-cultivation."
Mu Bingyun glanced at Rokas who shrugged.
"I mean… it's the truth."
"Did you associate yourselves with a Star Realm already?" She decided to change the subject, managing to sit up.
"Technically, yes… though, we're not really looking to join anyone at the moment. I intend to explore the Universe in its entirety above all else." Rokas stated, smiling slightly. "Its been a lifelong desire of mine… to see its beauty, its treasures, mysteries and everything in between. I want to see it all."
"The Universe is as vast as it is dangerous…"
"Don't worry about me, ma'am." Rokas smiled. "I can take care of myself. Though you… I need to get you cured before all of that. Can't send you away half-poisoned."
"Very well." Mu Bingyun laid back, nodding. "Free my disciple and bring her here."
"I'll do that."
…
After a bit more Sky Poison Pearling, Rokas fully cured Mu Bingyun. Mu Xiaolan apologized for her earlier comments and acknowledged his talent. Mu Bingyun was rather insistent on repaying the favor by taking him to the Snow Song Realm but Rokas could only shake his head.
'I must walk my own path… not the path that fate dragged Yun Che along.'
"I will find my own way to the Snow Song Realm when the time is right." Rokas smiled slightly, shaking his head. "However, if you truly wish to bring someone from her up to the Realm of the Gods, I believe one of the Seven Fairies would do well. I would personally recommend Murong Qianxue. She has leadership qualities, a notable work ethic and is more than mature enough not to cause any problems up there."
"You have a high impression of this Murong Qianxue, it seems." Mu Bingyun nodded. "I will respect your decision and take her into my palace as a direct disciple."
"Thank you."
…
"Why did you choose me?"
Murong Qianxue confronted Rokas, who was vibing in his quarters and further cultivating his Divine Heart of Gold Art. The Honorary Palace Master position led to quite the comfy chambers, albeit a bit grand for a single person.
"No, good morning, how's your day? Straight to the point." Rokas chuckled, turning to her. "I suppose it would be because you have the highest potential… partly due to the strange connection we seem to have. Aren't you the strongest here?"
"I am now, yes…" She nodded, glancing away. "Though, I have responsibilities as the Palace Mistress. I can't leave to the Realm of the Gods that my great ancestor speaks of."
"The fact that you are the Palace Mistress is precisely why you must go." Rokas shook his head. "Don't you see? You can be the bridge that ascends the entire Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace to a higher world. Learn under Mu Bingyun, become a notable figure in the Snow Song Realm and open up your own palace… where you'll be able to bring everyone in. As Palace Mistress, it is your responsibility to seek out the best for the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, no? As for the sect itself… I'll ensure its security."
"You are hard to argue against…" Her cold expression turned to a smile. "Your wisdom is understated, compared to your towering strength which everyone speaks of."
"When you eat up so many gods left and right, you're bound to be wise." Rokas chuckled. "Honestly, I have a lot to thank. You indirectly helped me get over myself a bit."
"What do you mean by that?"
"If you'd recall, my flames were a little naughty and burned through all your clothes." Rokas glanced into her eyes, smiling slightly. "So… my supremely nervous self had to drag you out of the collapsing lair, carry your naked self around, put on some new clothes without dying of a heart attack or blood loss… it was terribly difficult. Though, I would've felt pretty shitty if I had just left you there. Even if it was your intent to kill me earlier."
"How considerate of you." Murong Qianxue kept her smile, turning away. "So… did your hands go anywhere they shouldn't of?"
"That's a mad question coming from you…" Rokas chuckled. "Though, I promise, they did not. I was shameless and terribly lonely but not to THAT extent."
"A man of great dignity and honour, truly."
'Did she make a joke?'
Rokas chuckled, popping open a can of Coca-Cola "You almost sound disappointed in me."
"Considering how you bully Xia Qingyue, it is oddly uncharacteristic of you."
"Pfft-" Rokas spat out his drink and let out a chuckle afterwards. "Don't get it twisted, ma'am… I'd say she bullies me a lot more than I bully her. She is not what she seems on the outside, that's all I'll say."
"I'm glad you two are happy… although, your romance has made the idea of love a lot more prominent in the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. I fear there may be an incident of another disciple breaking the rules."
"Let people live their lives." Rokas replied, his golden eyes shining with undeniable brilliance. "The profound way isn't everything worthwhile in life. If anything, it is just a tool to achieve one's ends and nothing more. The Frozen Cloud Arts need only have a few modifications that prevent its transfer and from there, we can allow such relationships. Equally, we could begin accepting male disciples. Though… as Palace Mistress, that is ultimately your decision. You may find your time in the Snow Song Realm enlightening in this regard. Although fewer, their core sect does have male disciples and everything works just fine."
"They do?" Murong Qianxue seemed surprised.
"Yeah…"
"I'll have to think about it." Murong Qianxue nodded. "Speaking of which, where is Xia Qingyue now?"
"With her mother."
"Ah… I see. You are truly admirable, Long Ke. Your word seems as good as gold." Murong Qianxue praised, the light in her eyes carrying a look of warmth.
"I try to keep to every promise I make." Rokas nodded, managing a smile. "Especially when it concerns someone I care deeply about."
The figure of Qianye Ying'er flashed before his eyes.
'Except once…'
"I'll do my best to live up to your vision." Murong Qianxue nodded, turning away. "If there's nothing more you'd like to say, I'll be on my way."
Rokas grabbed her hand and turned her to face him. Caught off-guard by the sudden act, even the snow fairy Murong Qianxue grew a little flustered.
"I don't want you to just succeed, Murong Qianxue, I want you to thrive!" He looked her in the eyes, speaking with inspiring conviction. "Don't settle for mediocre, soar high… seek out the very sky! Have full belief in yourself and be ambitious. Don't let those stuck-up fools hold you as a talentless individual. Remember, while you come from a lower realm… that doesn't make you any lesser than any of them. If anything, that means your true potential is yet to be seen!"
"I… thank you for your encouraging words." Murong Qianxue nodded.
"I'm saying all of this because I know it should have been me going up there but I chose a different path. Because of that, you will have to go through a lot of struggle… and I'm sorry for that."
"I do not fear a difficult path." Murong Qianxue shook her head. "I will always do what is best for the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. It is my duty."
"I see… well, I'd like to leave you with a passing gift."
Rokas smiled, letting go. He drew out the Heavenly Demon Sabre and cut his finger, drawing blood. He then gathered all the blood that spilled out, a few drops, and held it in the air. His wound had regenerated almost instantly. He then balanced the bloodlines within, ensuring that it would be mostly dragon-water favored.
"My blessing."
The blood drops streamed inside of Murong Qianxue, causing a deep disturbance in every fiber of her being as she underwent a great change. Within mere instants, she underwent several breakthroughs… and lost her footing as her entire existence began to shake. Rokas grabbed hold of her and raised the fairy up between his arms. Using his new teachings, he did his best to balance her currently chaotic state of being.
He recalled Xuanyuan Wentian's transformation… it wasn't too pretty either.
After an entire half-hour, she finally settled down.
"You're part dragon now." Rokas let her down, smiling. "Welcome to the family."
"That blood cost you, didn't it?"
"Only for a short while, I'll be fine. The long-term benefits you'll have are more than worth it."
"I must thank you again…"
"No need. Let your actions speak for you, Palace Mistress." Rokas pat her head.
"I am not your daughter." Murong Qianxue chuckled, moving his hand away. Instead, she moved closer and embraced him… pressing her large chest against his.
'Well, damn…'
Rokas accepted her embrace, glancing away slightly.
"In the future, when we are both free… I'd wish for us to spend more time like this. Together."
"There'll be plenty of time for that in the future. For now, focus on the profound way." Rokas nodded.
"I will." She promised. "I will carve a path for the rest of the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace to ascend."
[Murong Qianxue (Moon XVIII) Confidant Rank: 4 → 5]
Murong Qianxue let go and moved away. She noticed Cang Yue waiting by the door, leaning against the wall.
"Imperial Princess." She bowed, smilingly slightly and continued her walk.
Rokas, too, left his palace shortly after.
"We do a bit of eavesdropping?" He questioned, glancing at Cang Yue.
"I did not want to disturb your moment with the Palace Mistress, my dear." Cang Yue stated, with a semi-passive-aggressive tone. "It seems that you truly inspired her."
"That was my intent." Rokas nodded. "I want her to do as well as she can. Yue, you're acting like I bent her over on a table and went ham for a good thirty minutes."
"You can do whatever you want with any woman." She shrugged. "I'm certain you established that already, haven't you?"
"I recall you saying that I can wait on my urges… but I'm not so sure if you can. Despite your best efforts, you're acting a bit… irritable as of late." Rokas stroked his chin, shrugging. "As I see it, you have a lot of pent-up energy… we can sort it out together if you want. Actually…"
"Actually-?"
He grabbed her hand and took her inside of his quarters, sealing the door shut. Cang Yue's light blue cerulean eyes widened slightly as Rokas' lips pressed against hers rather eagerly. His left hand graced the side of her face while his right grasped her left breast rather tightly.
"Mn…" Cang Yue let out a slight moan, closing her eyes.
"You are my first wife, the first woman I ever loved and the mother of my child… I can't bear to see you dissatisfied, or unhappy with anything." Rokas pulled her up on a table and pressed down on the princess, towering above her. He flicked off his shoes and came closer. "You are half of my soul, Cang Yue… my queen, and no one can ever replace you in my heart. No one… not Xia Qingyue, not Qianye Ying'er… absolutely no one so long as I am Rokas."
Cang Yue's eyes glowed as she looked into Rokas' golden, warm, glares. Her body had grown immensely warm and this was clear as day through her rosy cheeks.
"You… made me the man I am today."
Once again, he pressed his lips against hers and this time she let out her tongue… interchanging it with his. She raised her hands and a blazing fire scorched all of his clothes away along with her own.
"Prove it…" She grinned slightly, closing her eyes. "Keep me warm in this cold palace, my dear husband."
"You've been hanging around Xia Qingyue too much…" Rokas chuckled, pressing down on her and slipping the dragon rod inside.
"Surely you can do better than that?"
"Slow and steady wins the race."
Cang Yue chuckled.
"I think fast and steady would, no?"
"You asked for it."
Rokas turned her over so that she was laying on her front. In turn, she raised her back-side up while resting her head low… creating a rather alluring image. Rokas' mind could only think of one thing at that moment… mounting that eager, raised, ass and going wild.
As he went in for the kill, Cang Yue bounced it to the side.
"You know that trick you did with Qianye Ying'er?"
"... Which one?" Roaks raised an eyebrow.
"How you… made a second one?"
"Oh…" Rokas chuckled. "The double meat special?"
"I suppose that's one way of calling it." Cang Yue kept moving it around, almost like a hypnotic spell. "She seemed to really like it…"
"I know…"
Rokas grabbed her cheeks with a tight, authoritative, grasp and kept them in place, creating a second dragon rod to accommodate the other hole. Cang Yue awaited eagerly… biting her lip when the tips went in.
Then… in one merciless strike, he pushed it all in.
"Oh!~" Cang Yue's eyes widened as she felt both inside of her. "That's… goo… good!"
Rokas' eyes lit up red as the berserk attribute sparked from within. He withdrew and pushed right as deep… again and again… and again, each push faster than the last. Even Cang Yue's body began to shake a little. Her constant moans and glances of lust kept him eager as could be, breaking into her walls with endless passion. Their draconic yin and yang energy danced interchangeably for what seemed an eternity, as if they were already one.
As he was about to release, he grabbed her by the hair and raised her up slightly, going even deeper.
"Oh… oh… yes… right there… Rokassss!~"
Hearing his name, he raised her up even higher and used his hands to grasp both of her breasts tightly while his hips moved with greater ferocity.
"Mn… mm… ahhhh!"
"Oh…"
Rokas took a deep breath as he pushed her back down again and went for the final push, releasing everything he had at once. He paused as he fully released… slowly slipping both of his dicks out and observing the sheer amount of cum that had come out of both.
"You did not hold back…" Cang Yue stepped down and stood up on the frozen floor, watching everything drip out.
"I feel bad for whoever is the cleaner." Rokas remarked, glancing down. "Passion got the better of me."
"Well, we may as well make it worth their time."
This time, she pressed him down and mounted him. Rokas sat back, relaxing.
"You sure you can ride both?"
"I am a dragoness."
She spoke with a tone of pride, authority and confidence as she grabbed his hands and slipped both in without even looking. It turned on Rokas, whose once slightly limp members raged back up for a second round.
"Oh… yes… you fit me…" Cang Yue couldn't keep in her moans of pleasure. "Perfectly!~"
She kept riding him at an increasingly ferocious pace. Slowly, her mind had gone blank as she grinned from ear to ear and fell fully into a zone. The look in her eyes was emanating rose-red hearts as she placed his hands on her chest and let go, flipping her hair back. Thereafter, she kept riding him like she owned it.
As Rokas looked from above, he couldn't help but admire her movements. Not only did she ascend and descend in swift movements, but she also rotated side to side which really made him feel her.
'That's.. wifey alright.' Rokas couldn't hide his stupid grin. He loved it.
~
'Is it a coincidence that all my women are freaks… or is it me that makes them that way?' Rokas contemplated.
[System: Question of the millennium.]
After what seemed a century of fucking, Rokas' little palace was a mess all over. They embraced each other for a short while before dressing up and leaving. They met a longing Long Yinping who ran towards her parents.
"Daddy… mommy… what were you two doing for so long?" Their daughter pouted. "I was getting worried."
"We were… sparring." Rokas chuckled. "Nothing to worry about."
"So that's why you both look so messy." Long Yinping put a finger on her lip as she thought. "But… why would mommy's hair be messy?"
"Well…" Rokas glanced away, smiling a little. "Wind and water profound arts tend to do that"
"Oh…" She nodded. "I guess so. I've been thinking about one thing for a very long time."
"What is it, dear?" Cang Yue bent down slightly, patting her head."You can share anything with us, you know that."
"Well… I really…really… really want a baby brother! Or sister… I don't mind!"
'Pffttttt.'
"Well…" Rokas and Cang Yue exchanged glances.
"Daddy just has to hug mommy really hard, right?"
"Something like that." Rokas chuckled. "It doesn't always happen, Yinping. Especially given our constitutions, having a child is highly unlikely even if we truly want one."
"Well… can't you try harder?" Long Yinping pouted. "I want to be a big sister…"
"You'll be a big sister in the future." Cang Yue pat her head. "I promise."
[System: And your two-time Rookie Father of the Year is…]
'Honestly… I get it. I was an only child for thirteen years.' Rokas stroked his chin in thought. 'But how the fuck am I gonna get someone pregnant? I haven't been using any contraceptives all this time and not a single woman has gotten pregnant despite countless sessions. Am I genuinely barren because of my divine Chimera bloodline? Yinping only came to be because of the virgin dragon seed…'
"Mommy and daddy will try their best." Rokas nodded.
[System: You gotta work over time, buddy. Or… complete the Trial of Space you lazy cunt.]
'What does the Trial of Space have to do with anything?'
[System: You would be reborn if you completed it.]
'... Hm.'
[System: Hm indeed.]
~
'Such monsters… Long Ke… that name, what does it remind me of?'
The more Mu Bingyun looked, the more terrifying the draconic auras around Rokas, Cang Yue and Long Yinping seemed. The least suppressed one of them all, Long Yinping, had a raging tyrannical yet strangely gentle aura… contradicting itself. Above all, it was primordial… in a pure, divine state that she had never seen before.
"Farewell, ma'am. I hope for a safe journey to you all." Rokas smiled as Mu Bingyun prepared her dimensional stone. "I'll take a bit longer… but I'll be seeing you all in the Snow Song Realm, eventually."
"You would be welcome there." Mu Bingyun nodded. 'Could it be… the Brahma Monarch God Realm's… no that's impossible. Why would he be here?'
"Farewell, Honorary Palace Master." Murong Qianxue smiled as she looked at Rokas, waving goodbye.
And so, they vanished.
'Why was she looking at me like that?' Rokas wondered. 'Long Ke isn't that famous, is he? Even then, it's just a name… there ought to be hundreds of them. Though, it seems like she was starting to figure it out.'
His thoughts turned to something else.
'The Trial of Space… I have to reach new heights and unleash my true potential to pass it. After all, I can only attempt it once. That attempt shouldn't be wasted. I have to expand my arsenal of profound arts, refine them to the absolute peak and master the way of battle using the vast resources available to me.'
'I must be certain of my victory.'
He recalled the Brahma Heaven God Emperor's words.
"If the pursuit of power ever becomes your goal, you know where you can find it. As your master, I have yet to teach you much and that is one of my regrets. I assure you that the Brahma Monarch God Realm is the best place for you to blossom as there is not a single resource that I would keep away from you. Skilled and insightful sparring partners at every level, our most sacred profound arts, treasures, resources, artefacts, weapons… anything. You only need to truly accept your role as my direct disciple."
'Man… it's so, so, tempting.'
'He sure as hell knows how to make offers… but what part of that can't I attain on my own? Fighting partners? Just attack strong people. Arts? Already sorting that out. Weapons? My Heavenly Demon Saber is cracked. Artefacts? I can fucking create the best ones in the Universe. I'm not part of the Brahma Heaven God Realm, I don't stand for what they represent. I am… my own ruler.'
'And I will forge my own fate.'
Rokas grinned slightly after hyping himself up. 'Hell yeah, fuck your handouts you fucked up old bastard. I'll be killing you in the future anyway.'
[Playing dxnnyfxntom X Yeat - Lyfe (sped up) You can't take him out.]
[System: He's different. He's not the same. You are YOU but he is HIM!]
'Okay… System what's the probability of me passing as I am now?'
[System: It's a toss-up. 50-50. Maybe 40-60.]
'I'm making that 100-0.'
[System: Okay, boss man. Say it with your chest!]
'One hundred fucking percent of passing!'
