Bab 24: Chapter 24
Meanwhile, in the mansion of the Sacred Family, in one courtyard, inside of one house, Shen Yue was lying on the bed, shaking.
Last nights, he had been thinking of Ye Qi. Shen Yue had always thought that he would soon surpass that man and get his vengeance for taking Ye Ziyun from Shen Yue and beating him up. However, in the last days, Ye Qi had shown his level as a Silver rank Spiritualist. That's now. In the future, there is no doubt that Ye Qi is going to become way stronger since he is too young.
"I'm... I'm not going to call you..."
Shen Yue murmured as he was shaking in the bed. His forehead was streaming with hot sweat drops.
Very soon, some maid noticed that he was shaking. She stood up next to him and started shaking his body.
"Young master, Young master, wake up."
Shen Yue opened his eyes widely and sat up, screaming.
"You're Not My Uncle!"
The maid jumped back in fear, before looking at Shen Yue, who was looking at the sides surprisingly.
Shen Yue held his so fast-beating heart. He looked at the maid and his breaths started to get calmer as he saw a familiar face.
"Young master," the maid bowed down. "Please calm down, it's just a nightmare."
Shen Yue, who had been taking a nap, started to breathe slower.
"Right, it's just a nightmare. Nothing is, or going to be, real."
Shen Yue sighed in relief as he looked over the room, before looking at the maid and smiled.
He let cocky laughter.
It's just a nightmare. No way that dream, about how Ye Qi had been bullying him for being his uncle, be real.
However, it's embarrassing to admit that he dreamt about this.
"You're dismissed." She Yue said.
"Mm…." The maid nodded. She then turned and left. Shen Yue lied back.
-x-X-x-
"Wait, what! You want to marry Young Mistress!"
The main affairs elder of the Sacred family said as he looked at Ye Qi, his eyes widely opened.
"Yes," Ye Qi said. "You're not dreaming, neither you're mishearing."
Ye Qi was looking in Shen Xiu's direction. She seemed to get emotional for a second. But since she was surrounded by people, she managed to keep her emotions under check, only with her hand covering her mouth. Ye Qi noticed that Ye Ziyun was surprised, same for Ning'er, who looked at their common teacher. It was a surprise for them that Ye Qi wants to have their teacher as his wife. They weren't angry but surprised.
Ye Qi then looked at Shen Ming.
Shen Ming reached his throat and rubbed it. "Well, about that… you have to know her opinion."
He can't just say yes, since that was the patriarch's sister. Meanwhile, Shen Ming was someone who is making living by doing his job. However, he can't say no to Ye Qi either. Even though Ye Qi provoked Shen Fei, Ye Qi is the youngest genius, and the number one as well. Refusing to bind his family to the family that they want to replace, maybe good, or bad. So he decided to ask Shen Xiu's opinion, hoping that she would end this.
Shen Xiu lowered her hand from her mouth, her facial expression becoming casual again. Ye Qi's jaw almost dropped from the shock. If there is someone who deserves Oscar for controlling their faces and emotions, it would be her.
"Well, yes, of course, I will accept to marry you, Ye Qi." Shen Xiu had a small redness spread across her cheeks as she crossed her arms and looked at Ye Qi.
"Well, she accepted." Ye Qi turned to Shen Ming and shrugged his shoulders.
Shen Ming let a sigh and said. "Well, then you have to wait for her brother, the patriarch, to come back."
"I will." Ye Qi reached his pocket and took a spatial ring out. "here's an early marriage gift."
He threw it at Shen Xiu, who caught it. The spatial ring had a God Growth Demon Spirit, and a paper that has some guides on how to cultivate it. It was some Sacred flames mutated Demon Beast. A cute one above that when it comes to merging with it.
'Just a cat girl!' Ye Qi had some fantasies in his mind of what would happen when she merges with her demon spirit.
Tyring to act as calmly as she can since she was standing in the middle of the people, Shen Xiu held the ring and wore it.
Shen Ming, meanwhile, was about to shout to Ye Qi to leave since he is hindering the tournament.
However, before he could say anything, he noticed that Ye Qi winked at Shen Xiu before he made his way out.
"I'll send some marriage offers later." Ye Qi sighed on his way out. Had this been Earth, they would have sex many times before it legally comes to marriage.
-x-X-x-
Ye Qi left the tournament, along with the people who lost interest in watching the rest.
"Did you have to declare that?"
Ye Qi was walking on his way back home, along with his father, Ye Xiu.
Behind them, Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun. The girls weren't as upset. In this world, it's okay for a man to have a harem, much less a genius man like Ye Qi.
"Mm… I just follow my heart." Ye Qi answered his father.
"Well. Are you sure? I don't want you to waste your talent on women." Ye Xiu stroke his beard.
If his son wanted to marry a woman, so be it, as long as that woman doesn't slow his progress.
In the last days, Ye Qi has shown his importance to the Snow Wind Family, no, to the whole of humanity.
In the Glory City, as the future protector, marrying him would be a dream for any girl in the Glory City. Much less a woman like Shen Xiu.
If Ye Qi is allowed to pick up women just like that, he would have formed another subfamily to the Snow Wind Family.
"Mmm… What will you say?"
"Well, we will send them an offer." Ye Xiu said. He then gave Ye Ziyun a side look and smiled. "But, don't forget, your cousin is also your fiancee. Very soon, the two of you shall marry. You better not embarrass me with my brother."
"Alright." Ye Qi said, his morals were at a high level. "Count on me."
"Excuse me." Xiao Ning'er, who was standing behind them with Ye Ziyun, lifted her head.
"Yes."
"How about me." She said, directly asking Ye Qi's father.
Ye Ziyun said, explaining. "Xiao Ning'er was forced to engage to Shen Fei. Ye Qi had fought for her sake, and now that he won, she is free and single as ever."
Xiao Ning'er nodded with a shy blush on her cheek.
"Ha…" Ye Xiu sighed. "Who's else?" He asked Ye Qi.
"Huyan Lanruo." Said Ning'er and Ye Ziyun at the same time, flinching slightly as they remembered the fat-titted noblewoman.
"The daughter of brother Huyan Xiong!!!" Ye Xiu flinched.
Many had tried to marry that girl. But because of her father's spoiling her, she passed the age of marriage, and no one is after her hand. It's astonishing to know that Ye Qi has established all of those relationships while Ye Xiu was with Ye Mo outside the Glory City.
Ye Xiu looked suddenly to Ye Qi, eyes widely opened. Is his son trying to establish his power starting from now? For real, all of these girls are direct daughters to the patriarchs. One of them is the Sister of a Major Family's patriarch. The other two are daughters of noble families.
"Tough life, father." Ye Qi said as if he doesn't have much choice. 'I love it though.'
"You deserve it." Ye Xiu said. "That's too much job for me. I'll send some convey. Now, get into your courtyard, and stop messing around the other girls' houses."
"Does this mean?" Ning'er, who was paying attention to the conversation more than anyone, opened her eyes widely and waited for them to clarify.
"Yes, Ning'er. You can become his fiancee as well. As long as your family accept, of course."
Ning'er turned her face and clenched her face and happiness. Ye Ziyun grabbed her hand and nodded at her. The two of them smiled; they finally are going to become sisters.
On the other hand, Ye Qi was using his soul force to suppress his boner, as he was thinking of what's his life is going to become.
But, he shouldn't allow himself to relax completely yet, since, there are timed bombs like Shen Hong — Shen Xiu's brother, and the Legendary Spiritualists of the Dark Guild, without mentioning the Demon Lord himself.
'I'll continue cultivating silently until reaching Black Gold, even if took long, and then, I'll try to get the book. It's in the desert.'
Ye Qi already knows the location of the Temporal Demon Book. That book is in a temple in the desert. Several hours inside that book can worth decades outside of it. One won't have to worry about ageing inside, or would he? That was a question Ye Qi also wanted to know its answer.
Now, Ye Qi has to focus on cultivating and becoming a man, who uses his manhood.
-x-X-x-
The days were passing on Ye Qi, who with hard, was trying to break through to the second star of Golden rank, despite his slow speed. He succeeded after three continuous days.
A part of his slow progress could be blamed on the girls who were constantly knocking on his door.
Just yesterday, he had a kissing season with Ning'er and Ye Ziyun. They are going to become his wives soon, so, yeah, they didn't mind giving him some kisses. But sex to them was delayed to after the wedding, which is estimated to be a few months away from now.
On the other hand, Huyan Lanruo had come to a couple of times, with her dad. She had sneaked to his tent… house. Ye Qi, of course, was less preserved with her, as he had held her huge breasts while kissing her and touching her before her father had taken her away.
More days were passing and Ye Qi was remembering what had been happening.
"What days."
Said Ye Qi, who was now sitting on the top of his house, cross-legged and cultivating. He just felt bored, as he was cultivating beyond the 2nd star Golden rank. Ye Qi, when he tested his soul force, he found that it was 22.000.
"And it seems I may need a couple of months before reaching black gold."
Ye Qi patted his necklace.
Without it, Ye Qi would have been at the Silver Rank.
Ye Qi has a solution in his head for his slow progress, however, it is so risky that he didn't want to try it, and would prefer to wait until the time passes.
It's not like he is hating his daily life here anyway.
Ye Qi jumped off the roof and landed on his feet.
Following his far eyesight, he looked at a group of pillars across the mansion.
Ye Zong was standing in the middle of the array, and he made a hand seal. From nowhere, some demon spirits appeared from nowhere. Ye Zong was with his father, and they were testing the Ten Thousand Array Beasts.
They were trying to control it.
Ye Qi shook his head.
"They need practise, unlike me."
Ye Qi made a hand gesture, and the demon beasts changed the way they move.
In order for one to control the formation well, one needs practice, and that's what his elders were trying to do.
As someone who gave them the translation of how to make the array, Ye Qi, who has the experience of the inventory, could use it as he wants.
As it seems, inscriptions and creating arrays was like programing and codding. If one understands them very well, he may be able to hack them and even modify them.
"Ye Qi'er. Since when you have the key to the array." Ye Xiu called and Ye Zong stopped trying to learn how to familiarise himself with the array.
"Since yesterday. Seems you need some help."
Since the girls had been cultivating, he had nothing to do, and he was too bored to cultivate now.
Ye Zong started learning from Ye Qi, and how to use the Ten Thousand Demon Beast array.
While learning how to use tricks, such as gathering the lightning from all of the lightning type demon spirits to create one attack, Ye Xiu and Ye Zong were casually chatting.
One of the topics they have brought to the table has attracted Ye Qi's attention.
"As it seems, Shen Hong has come back from his solitude." Ye Xiu said.
That was the Big brother of Shen Xiu, and one of the bastards on Ye Qi's killing list.
"What's about him." Ye Qi said, while still looking at the inscriptions on the golden pillars that were placed across different places in the City Lord's mansion.
Ye Zong rubbed his chin. Ye Qi was considered old enough to participate in this conversation so they didn't talk in their minds.
"He is like me," Ye Zong said. "For the last years, he was trying to break through to the Legend Rank. He and I both failed to reach that level."
Shen Hong, who was the patriarch, was trying to reach the Legend rank to take over the position of City Lord.
However, Ye Zong and Ye Xiu, just like everyone else, are thinking that Shen Hong would be the humanity protector once he reaches that level.
Ye Qi snorted inside himself. It's too ironic that Ye Zong is looking forward to his wife's killer to reach legend rank.
"True. I'm worried what would happen after our father passes away." Ye Xiu said.
"Don't worry." Ye Zong said. "You have good sons. One certainly can reach legend rank."
Meanwhile, Ye Qi was wondering what kind of reactions Shen Hong would make about him.
That man was so scheming.
Probably he would hand his sister but would make some conditions in return, just to benefit from them.
-x-X-x-
Meanwhile, at the Sacred Family's headquarter.
Shen Ming was bowing his head toward one bulky muscled man, who was sitting. The man had long eyebrows, grey hair and a long beard.
Shen Hong, the patriarch of the Sacred Family, was looking at Ming, who has just finished making his report of what had happened.
"So, that's all." Shen Hong stroke his beard. "There is a bastard in the Snow Wind Family who now is number one genius." Shen Hong's tone was slow. He was deeply thinking of what is going on. "Our rivals gained one valuable variable. Meanwhile, My son has gotten the beating of his life and lost his fiancee, because of the blood contract. And then, he proposed to my sister. Did I miss anything.?
"You got it all, patriarch." Said Shen Ming.
Shen Hong was deeply thinking over for a minute while stroking his hair.
While he was deeply cultivating outside the Glory City, someone like Ye Qi has risen from the Snow Wind Family.
Ye Qi is Silver Star at his current age, and he is growing so fast!
Such a genius, it needless to say that he would achieve the Golden Rank in no time, and in few years, the Black Gold.
Shen Hong, who wants his family to be the ruler over the Glory City, couldn't ignore him.
"He wants my sister." Shen Hong knows that their father spoiled his little sister. He always thought that she is useless when it comes to a political marriage since she was quite old for the nobles marriages "So he loves her, I see."
"I believe it, despite her not being the same age."
"Did she teach him?"
"Yes."
"I see."
Shen Hong stroke his beard for quite a long time. He then had a small smirk on his face.
"Men who fall in love are dumb." Shen Hong held his chuckle. "Young teenager like him should be easy to control, isn't he. a body with no brain is like a puppet with strings that needs someone to move it."
"I thought so, patriarch. You're so wise. However." Shen Ming shared his opinion. But he paused while thinking if he should talk.
"However what?" Shen Hong looked down to the skinny elder and half-closed his crimson eyes.
"I think she loves him back as well. She had some tears of joys when he proposed." Shen Ming said
"Hmm… She was just happy that she isn't going to stay single. But she is my little sister, after all." Shen Hong can understand that women can be stupid sometimes. But not his sister. Well, in any case, there are ways to guarantee that things would go on his way.
Shen Hong continued. "I know how to exactly how to remind her which side she should take."
"You mean?" Shen Ming opened his eyes widely.
"Soul Sha—"
"Enough with talking." Says Shen Hong. "Send a convey that we have accepted their proposal of marriage. We would be happy to increase our bounds. The wedding should be by the next week then."
Shen Hong made his decision. "In a week, I will have someone in the Snow Wind family to guide their genius. "
"I understand."
-x-X-x-
"Acho." Ye Qi sneezed. He was between his father and uncle.
The two ignored his sneeze.
Ye Qi, knowing that he a Demon Spiritualists, thought that he isn't sick. But something else, a cliche thing is happening.
"Someone is talking about my genius." Ye Qi murmured while rubbing his nose.
