CH 117
(nobody's POV)
As the younger lady, Huo Wu heard him, she humphed proudly before folding her arms under her impressive bust and looking away.
Huo Wushuang sighed as he shook his head helplessly :"I'm sorry for my younger sister's rude behavior, brother Ali.
She doesn't mean anything bad, she is just angry that we were ambushed so easily and nearly died."
But to his surprise, Ali just chuckled as swung his arm nonchalantly :"nah, it's alright. I honestly find her feisty nature cute."
Huo Wu blushed a little when she heard him before she softly glared at him :"you... What did you call me?"
Ali smirked as he raised his eyebrows challengingly :"I called you a feisty cutie. What, do you have a problem, cutie?"
She was taken aback as she blushed and glared at the handsome boy :"y-you... Hmph!" Ali chuckled before Huo Wushuang looked at him :"yes, brother Ali. My younger sister has reached the 40th level, so we came here to hunt a soul ring for her. What about you? Were you here for the same reason?"
Ali nodded with a small smile :"yeah, I was. but I have already hunted my soul beast and have gotten my soul ring."
Huo Wushuang nodded at him before the middle aged man spoke :"young man, if I may ask, which soul ring did you hunt? You look to be only 13 or 14, but you are strong enough to take down a decade millennium Vampiric Demon Spider."
Ali smiled at him before chuckling and then looking at Huo Wushuang :"brother Wushuang, you two should be fighting in the Continental Soul Master School Elite Tournament, right?"
Huo Wushuang looked a little surprised before he nodded :"yes, brother Ali, we will. Why do you ask? Will you be participating as well?"
Ali smiled a toothy smirk before he turned around and started walking towards the entrance :"yup! and when we meet, I will show you my soul ring.
I will see later then. Goodbye to you too, feisty cutie! Take care of yourself! hahaha!" And he walked away without looking back at the blushing cutie who was gritting her teeth.
He had made the purple black vines disappear a while ago, so they didn't see his martial soul either.
After disappearing from their sight and walking out of the cave, he released his Divine Devil martial soul before immediately concealing the scary aura of the red rings with his CS powers.
Then he took off as he completely released his 1st soul skill to get a 500% increase in speed and flew away like a bolt of lightning.
Back in the cave, Huo Wushuang looked at the middle aged man with a curious expression :"so? What do you think of him?"
The middle aged man rubbed his chin and bear with a thoughtful and serious face :"I don't know much about the Vampiric Demon Spider, but from the appearance of that once, it should have been more than just ten thousand years old.
But that boy didn't seem to be injured at all, so he must be really strong to have taken care of a decade millennium soul beast without an injury.
You two should be careful if you see him in the Continental Soul Master School Elite Tournament in the future. He will be a formidable for."
But Huo Wu snorted with a prideful face :"hmph, he probably just got lucky." But Huo Wushuang smirked at him :"but you seem to have liked him, though?"
Huo Wu blushed a little before she glared at him :"brother, do you want me to beat you up? I don't like him at all!"
Huo Wushuang smiled awkwardly and put his hands up in surrender :"you shouldn't be so violent, little sister.
You won't be able to get a husband in the future otherwise. But thankfully, that brother Ali seemed to like your personality with how he addressed you."
Huo Wu blushed as she remembered the handsome face of Ali before she glared at her older brother :"brother, last warning. I will seriously beat you up."
But middle aged man interrupted the conversation :"alright, young master, young miss, we should get out of here before the soul beasts wake up."
While the three left the cave while feeling nauseous from the bloody scene, Ali was flying towards the martial soul city.
He had an amused smirk on his handsome face which was once again covered with a veil as his hair had turned black :'that Huo Wu girl was really cute. She was just like a feisty cat. Haha, guess she is a tsundere.
But I don't know if I'll meet her in the Continental Soul Master School Elite Tournament.
Anyway, no time to worry about them. For now, I just want to go back home and meet my love, Dong'er and sister Nana.
I really miss Dong'er, I just want to hug her and cuddle with my boss lady lover. It's pretty late, a few hours later and it will be morning.
I think by the time I have reached the martial soul city, sister Nana should be finished with the martial soul academy for the day.
She is really attached to me, so she will definitely be mad and angry that I suddenly left for nearly a year.
So I think I should surprise her by waiting for her to leave the martial soul academy. She will definitely be surprised and happy. Yeah, let's do that.'
And after making his decision, he continued to fly for several hours till the night turned into morning and the moon was replaced by the sun.
When it was nearly noon, Ali finally could see the huge walls of the ever so familiar martial soul city from afar.
Seeing the sight, Ali smiled with nostalgia before he stopped using his soul ring and took back his martial soul so his soul rings couldn't be seen.
And after walking for some time, he finally reached the city gates. But a guard stopped him :"half. Who are you? Please introduce yourself and give us your soul master registration card."
Ali smiled under the veil before he twisted his hand and a high quality badge with an engraving on it appeared, "saint son".
Ali held up the badge as he smiled softly, which was just a little visible through the veil :"is this enough?"
(Ali's POV)
The guard was taken aback before he got on one knee and bowed his head :"your highness, welcome back!"
All the guards knelt as they shouted in unison :"your highness, welcome back!" But then the guard that had stopped me shouted :"I'm sorry, your highness, I didn't know it was you! Please punish me!"
I just chuckled before I moved my hand to my veil and gently took it off :"haha, it's alright. it's my fault to begin with since I was covering my face.
I'm glad that you are all taking your jobs seriously. Thank you and please keep up the good work. Get up now, my neck feels uncomfortable when I look down on you."
The guards shouted a :"yes, your highness!" Before getting up and standing in a military stand as the first guard thanked me :"thank you for your kind words, your highness. May I help you with something?"
I just shook my head as the people behind the gates looked at me with awe and girls with heart eyes :"no, it's okay, I'm planning on getting my senior sister from the martial soul academy and going to see my master. Please send someone to inform my master of my return. I will be going now."
He slammed the bottom of the spear he was holding to the ground as he saluted :"yes, your highness! Right away!"
And I walked into the city before making my way towards the martial soul academy. As I walked through the clean streets of the martial soul city, I could clearly feel the amazed gazes of the people on me.
After walking for a few minutes and getting greeted by some of the citizens of the martial soul city, I finally reached the gateway of the martial soul academy.
Seeing me, the guards immediately kneeled down on one knee as they shouted in unison :"your highness the saint son, welcome back!"
I smiled gently as I nodded :"I'm back, thank you for the hard work. Get up. May I go in? The academy should be finished in a few minutes and I want to get my senior sister."
After getting up, the guards got out of my way as they saluted :"please go ahead, your highness! The saint daughter will be definitely happy to meet you after so long!"
I took in a deep breath before I chuckled :"yeah, I hope she isn't mad that I didn't come back for nearly a year."
As I nonchalantly and slowly walked through the academy that I studied for six years, I smiled with nostalgia of the good old days.
Yeah, the days when I became famous for being bloodthirsty and incredibly violent while fighting. Sigh, the good old days of beating the shit out of everyone.
After reaching the school plaza, I created an ice chair before sitting on it and waiting for sister Nana to come out. The sit wasn't uncomfortable at all of course, since I have ultimate ice.

As Hu Liena, Xie Yue and Yan walked out of their class, Hu Liena sighed with a slightly sad face.
Seeing his sister sighing in sadness, Xie Yue also sighed as he looked at her helplessly :"Nana, do you miss Ali again? Hasn't her holiness said when he will return?"
Hu Liena shook her head softly with a longing expression and down mood :"I just haven't seen Xiao Ali in so long. And no, master hasn't told me when he will return. Hmph, That little bastard hasn't even sent a letter from when he went away. Once I see him, I must teach him a good lesson."
But when the three walked out of the building, the saw a huge crowd of mostly girls around the plaza.
Hu Liena cocked her beautiful eyebrow with a curious look as she spoke up softly to her brother who was in the middle of her and Yan :"what is going on? Why is there such a big crowd?"
Xie Yue being the tall fuck of nearly 2 meters that he is, went wide eyes as he saw Ali at the center of the crowd :"no way! Ali?!"
Hearing the name, Hu Liena's eyes went wide as she smiled excitedly :"Ali?! He's here?! Get out of my way!"
She shouted before tearing through the crowd and opening a path towards Ali while Xie Yue and Yan deadpanned :"didn't you just say that you will teach him a lesson? What happened?"
But she was long gone as the female students didn't dare to stand in her way and opened up a path.
After finally reaching him, Hu Liena jumped towards the seated Ali with a wide smile :"Xiao Ali! You are finally back!"
And in response, Ali didn't deny her as he opened his arms and hugged her while still sitting as she circled her arms around his neck :"sister Nana! It's so good to see you, I have missed you so much!"
After hugging for a few moments in their own little world where they ignored everyone else, Hu Liena pulled away with her arms still around his neck as she pinched his cheek with a glare :"hmph, you still know how to come back? Where the hell were you?"
Ali chuckled at her cute glare as he smiled at her action :"well, I'm back now, aren't I? I wanted to explore, so that's why I went out. And I will tell you where I was later."
She let go of his perfect cheek which gave a small *pop*, making them both chuckle as she snorted with a smile :"it better be interesting then. And why are you here instead of going to report back to master?"
