Bab 156: Comrade in Arms!
Cross and Long Chen looked tired, Cross said "It really is one after the other, eh? We can't catch a fucking break." Long Chen just chuckled and said "We're Long Chen and Cross." the Law enforcement disciples said "We're just here to ask questions." Cross rolled his eyes and sat down, he waved his hand and said "Lady Boss! Can I get everything on the menu please?"
The lady boss gave him a thumbs up and went to the kitchen to prepare. Long Chen sat down next to him and Cross made a high chair out of strings, putting Yuanyuan inside. Mu Qingyun felt her eyes twitch at their nonchalant-ness.
The Law Enforcement Disciples stood there like rooted chickens, not really knowing what to do. The food was served and Cross cut the food up, before feeding Yuanyuan slowly, blowing on it before letting her eat.
His movements and actions were very fluid, as if he's done it thousands of times! Actually that number wasn't too far from the truth. Mu Qingyun sat next to Long Chen and started eating, Long Chen and Cross' personalities were slowly starting to infect her, Zhong Ling, and Zhong Xiu.
They all started eating and the Law Enforcement Disciples saying "Um. The hunting team said that you attacked to kill them, I personally do not believe this." Long Chen said "Sit, relax. Let me tell you what happened." the disciples awkwardly sat down and Long Chen started "We were flying on beasts to come here. Suddenly a boat flew by almost killing us. Good thing I reacted quick! Naturally I thought someone came with malicious intentions towards the school and disciples, so I beat the boat with a stick."
Long Chen told a grand story and then finished "After, Mu Qingyun told me it was a hunting boat. So it was a misunderstanding." Cross took out a milk bottle and shook it, putting a drop of Divine Water of Absolute Beginning in it, mixing it with the milk before giving it to Yuanyuan.
The disciple said "There was an explosion afterwards, do you know anything about this?" Cross said "They smashed into a mountain, maybe they destroyed a treasure or a beast went wild?" Long Chen got serious and said "Hopefully they're okay. I heard Immortal Beasts are quite vicious!"
Mu Qingyun was stunned but didn't say anything, the Law Enforcement disciples said "They're mostly okay..." Long Chen clapped and said "Since everyone is okay, then there's nothing left to ask, yes? Eat some food."
The Law enforcement disciples trembled and said "No, that's okay. We got a general idea. Sorry to disturb you. We have to go report, maybe next time." before they all left. Cross chuckled as they left, Yuanyuan said "Daddy, why didn't those uncles eat?" Cross smiled and said "Because they're scared Uncle Long Chen or Daddy will beat them up." Long Chen laughed and Yuanyuan nodded saying "Oh!"
Cross smiled and said "Open wide." as he twirled a fork around, Yuanyuan opened her mouth and Cross put the fork in her mouth with a warm smile. Yuanyuan chewed and smiled happily, her eyes curving into crescents.
Zhong Xiu melted as she said "Waaah! Yuanyuan is so cute!!!" she really wanted to hug the little girl, but she couldn't. She was depressed. They started talking about he Shinto list and then a fellow named Chu Kuang.
Zhong Ling said "Third Brother, you can beat this guy up, right?!" Cross glanced at Long Chen with an unreadable look, Long Chen shook his head and said "Excuse me for being blunt, but your problems are like child games to me. I have a task to accomplish, I failed once, I won't fail a second time. I don't want to get involved with your game, sorry."
Zhong Ling looked as though she was about to cry, Cross looked at Long Chen very carefully as Mu Qingyun said with a smile "It's okay, brother Long is going to be a tutor. He will definitely give us priority with his classes." Cross looked a bit disappointed with Mu Qingyun's words.
Zhong Ling grasped this and said "Yes! That's right, we're friends. When you teach us, you can't hide your secrets!" Cross' disappointment grew and Long Chen smiled, a bit indifferently as he said "Your qualifications are good but you're all flowers in a greenhouse. Your experience determines your strength. Have you heard what Cross said? Do you really want to be stronger?"
Zhong Ling said "Of course!" Long Chen asked honestly "Why?" Zhong Ling replied "So we don't get bullied." Cross' face fell and Long Chen asked with less interest "How motivated are you?" Zhong Ling said "I'll try my best!" Cross stopped listening at that point and Long Chen sighed saying "Ok."
Zhong Ling said uneasily "What's wrong, third brother? Am I wrong?" Long Chen sighed and replied "Everyone has their own answers. Maybe one day after experiencing real pain, you'll understand what cultivation is for." he looked out the window and his eyes were extremely sad.
Cross got a glimpse of the pain and grief in his eyes and silently sighed on the side while feeding Yuanyuan. The girls were silent after that.
A while later
Cross and Long Chen got a lodging to wait for 3 days until they got into the sect as Teachers. Cross sent Yuanyuan back before sitting at a table in the house, pouring two cups of wine. Long Chen came down and sat down saying with a smile "Waiting for someone?"
Cross chuckled and said "Unfortunately, it's not a woman." Long Chen smiled and drank from his cup. They were silent for a few minutes before Cross said suddenly "You lost someone?" he was looking outside with an unreadable expression. Long Chen kept silent for a moment before replying "A woman I loved dearly."
Cross crushed his cup, before getting a new one as he said "I'm sorry. I can't relate, I almost lost my wife a long time ago..." he drank from the cup and Long Chen looked at him saying "Almost?" Cross smiled and said "I gave half my life to save her, fortunately I lived by either pity or luck." he paused for a second before laughing at himself "It was the lowest point in my life."
Long Chen smiled and joked "Aiyo, where's the arrogant unyielding guy?" Cross paused before laughing "That's right. Anyway! What I wanted to say was I'm here if you need me." Long Chen froze for a second before giving Cross a wide smile and clinking his cup, draining the wine inside in an instant.
Cross smiled and filled up the cups again before asking "Oh right! You have 108,000 star spaces too right? What are you supposed to do with them?" Long Chen coughed and gave Cross a funny look, the so-called 'respect others' secrets' didn't apply to this friend of his.
Cross continued with a confused look on his face "The old man was about to have a heart attack because I told him that. Am I supposed to light them all on fire? How do I even do that? He just said 'condense your Divine Flame seed' what the fuck does that even mean?! Can he just say it!?" Long Chen laughed and said "You're asking me, who am I supposed to ask? I just got to the immortal world too."
Cross cursed "That fucking Dragon didn't say shit! When I see him again, I'll give him a nice beating!" Long Chen said "You got sent here by the dragon too?" Cross gasped "You too?!" Long Chen nodded and Cross burst out laughing, he hooked his arm around Long Chen's shoulder and laughed "Haha! That Dragon fucked us both! A comrade in arms!"
Long Chen touched his nose and Cross said "By the way, do you know who this Great Brahma Sovereign guy is?" Long Chen cooled down and said "Yes." as he shook in anger. Cross slapped himself and said "Are you kidding me?!"
Long Chen said "What?" Cross took off his hood and shook his head, the illusion on his hair disappeared and it returned to black hair that reached just above his shoulders. Long Chen saw his long pointed ears and said "Eh? An Elf? You're a spirit Clan member?"
Cross said "I don't know what the 'Spirit Clan' is but I'm an Elf! A Blood Elf to be precise. That Brahma moron is trying to destroy the Elves and use the Tree of something, so he's going to die. I was tasked by the Tree to go and save her."
Long Chen said "He's my enemy too! Fuck! What kind of joke is this?" Cross said "It must be that Dragon guy! For sure!" Long Chen shook his head and said "What I don't understand is how could you be a member of the Spirit Clan?"
Cross was confused and said "What do you mean?" Long Chen said "The Sprit Clan is pure with no hatred or evil thoughts, if they do have them then they become an Evil Spirit Clan member. A woman once told me that for the spirit race they absorb the resentment of beings that they killed, it's like poison for them..."
Cross tilted his head and said "I don't know about that, maybe for her but the resentment is nothing for me. I could absorb it all I want and nothing would happen, all I would get is a stronger killing intent." he shrugged and said "As you can see, I'm a perfectly fine and extremely handsome Elf Prince/King." Long Chen said "Ah, you forgot narcissist."
Cross chuckled and said "I'm not narcissistic, just honest." Long Chen spat out his drink and laughed. The three days passed peacefully, and the duo along with Mu Qingyun, Zhong Ling, and Zhong Xiu went to the Main hall to be appointed.
Cross decided to fuck the disguise and wore what he liked, which was nothing. His black hair flowed in waves, his long pointed ears twitched, his Prayer Bead necklace hung from his neck, he wore shorts with a little red devil on the bottom left corner, they reached halfway down his thighs, and finally his signature pink fluffy bunny slippers.
His perfectly chiseled body and tattoos were on display, as well as his supremely handsome looks. Zhong Ling and Zhong Xiu were drooling, following him along like puppy dogs. Cross rubbed his nose and said "You see why I wore a disguise before?" Long Chen smiled wryly and said "Why did you take it off?"
Cross shrugged and said "It gets stuffy." Long Chen laughed dryly and everyone's attention snapped to them when they walked in. Yuanyuan was sitting on Cross' shoulders and shrank her neck at all the people, whispering "Daddy, so many people!"
Cross kissed her little calves and said gently "Don't be afraid. As long as Daddy is here, Yuanyuan will never be in danger." Yuanyuan wore little jean shorts with red suspenders and a white t-shirt with little flip flops. Her hair was let loose and she was a bit frightened.
Cross held her legs and walked with Long Chen to the Teacher platform. Cross stood with Long Chen and the other teachers, who were looking at them with hostility. Murmurs came from the disciples, Cross heard "Moron! That's Lord Third and Lord Fifth! They won't even blink before killing you! Shut your mouth!"
Cross grinned at the nickname while Long Chen pursed his lips in amusement. Some one suddenly yelled "All Quasi-Teachers come forward for the final test." Cross and Long Chen frowned, another test? What the fuck.
