Hearing Xiao Qiangwei's words, Stephanie gritted her teeth.
Xiao Qiangwei: Seriously, only because Sora didn't tell anything about the cheating thing, because he was completely unrelated, you blame him for this? Aren't you just a child throwing a tantrum…
Stephanie: ...What did you say?
She was shocked from what Xiao Qiangwei said, while Sora smiled, knowing what was trying to do Xiao Qiangwei…
But in reality, he was just doing this because he was annoyed, not for any strange plan coming out from Sora's mind.
Xiao Qiangwei: You didn't hear me? So you are both idiot and deaf? Then what? Blind? Mute? If that's all you came here for, then I will ask you to leave. I don't care if you are the descendant of some foolish old king or whatever there is, in front of me you are worthless.
Stephanie's eyes widened from what he said, which he noticed, and knowing his luck, she probably got angry because he made bullseye on something which would help later.
Xiao Qiangwei: …'Don't tell me that she is really the descendant of a old king…'
Stephanie: ...My grandfather was not foolish… Take it back!
Xiao Qiangwei noticed Sora's grin, and found out what Sora wanted so he narrowed his eyes, and said.
Xiao Qiangwei: Take it back… Huh? No, I say whatever I want, I will never apologize to anyone about my opinion, not even if the other party are my parents or the heaven.
These words may seem not important, but if said from a cultivator then it's another matter altogether.
Stephanie was getting more angry, but Xiao Qiangwei, who knew where Sora wanted to get, said.
Xiao Qiangwei: If you don't want to give up, then let's play a game.
Stephanie's anger immediately vanished, and looked at Xiao Qiangwei with curiosity.
Stephanie: ...Eh? What?
Xiao Qiangwei: Sora, you start to talk, I'm going to sleep.
Sora: Alright.
Stephanie turned to Sora while Xiao Qiangwei started to stretch his body in the bed before meditating.
[Later]
Xiao Qiangwei: 'Alright, I should analyze the strength of the other Exce-'
Sora: Fall in love with me!
Xiao Qiangwei flinched and stood up with a frown, looking at what was happening.
Xiao Qiangwei: '...What the fuck?'
Sora was pointing a finger to Stephanie while smiling, no one talked for a while until Shiro broke the silence.
Shiro: ...Erm, Nii?
Sora seemed proud of what he did and said.
Sora: Hehehe, what is it, my little sister. Was my plan so perfect that it moved you to speechlessness?
Shiro: ...That… Is… What is going on…?
Sora: Oya, it really is surprising that you don't understand, my little sister. Isn't there a saying that 'love is blind'? If it is in absolute compliance with the Pledges, then of course she would have to completely dedicate herself to me, right?
Accomodation, money, even talent can be gained… Isn't this killing three birds with one stone?
Xiao Qiangwei: ...No, this is killing a sloth with a kitchen knife when you can just use a gun… You could just say that she was your propriety, you dumb fuck…
Sora: Eh, ah… Ehhhh?!
Right now he realized what he could do if he said simply that Stephanie was his propriety, while Shiro tugged on Sora's shirt while coldly gazing at him.
Shiro: ...Nii… Your own wish… Was mixed inside?
Sora: Ahhhh… AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Sora hugged his head while spouting words.
Sora: I...I actually…. Turned out to be like this?! Was it about that… If I missed this chance, I'll never get a girlfriend?! Did the superficial sense of inferiority of not having a girlfriend cloud my judgement at the last minute!? No, im… Impossible… How could I, I make such a silly mistake…
Xiao Qiangwei: 'I would have suggested that you need a cup of coffee… But alright…'
Shiro: ...Nii… You said you had… No need for a girlfriend… That as long as Shiro was here… That would be good enough….
Sora immediately knelt in front of her.
Sora: I am so sorry… Af… After all I am unable to do those kind of things to my little sister! You are only 11 years old! If I did it, I would be taken away by the cops! And with your brother of age, this sort of desire is natural…
While Sora was chattering various excuses, Shiro was still staring with cold eyes, Xiao Qiangwei was looking at the duo with a dumbfounded face and Stephanie's cheeks were burning, it seems that the Pledges applied to someone's will too.
Xiao Qiangwei: "I am not high enough to deal with this shit…" Good night…
For an instant, everyone stopped whatever they were doing and said back.
Sora/Shiro/Stephanie: Good night.
And then Xiao Qiangwei started to meditate without being disturbed.
[Tomorrow]
Even if Xiao Qiangwei used his Dao of the Divinity at the boss of the inn, the group didn't stay 24 hours inside their room and followed Stephanie, who was being nicknamed Steph from the outsiders of the world.
It seems that Sora played rock, paper, scissor with Steph, and somehow won, then he asked her to fall in love with him because he was a goddamn virgin and he couldn't think about just telling her to become his property.
Right now they were in a bathroom of a castle, it was still a bit astounding hearing that from a inn forgotten from god they would travel to the capital of the human race, precisely in the castle.
It seems that Steph was the princess of the kingdom, granddaughter of the previous king.
A naked Shiro was being washed from a naked Steph while Sora was away, gazing at the scene with a smirk, meanwhile Xiao Qiangwei was relaxing in a nearby bath.
Shiro: ...Nii… I hope… You can explain-
Sora: Explain? If it is about the cleaning scene, then there won't be any sort of development if it isn't a bathing scene, should I explain more?
Xiao Qiangwei: *Sigh* Where do you think you are? In an anime? ...Whatever… How much time will we stay here?
Sora: Oh, we will live here. You don't like this place?
Xiao Qiangwei: Nah, it's not for that, it's about something we all need to talk about…
Xiao Qiangwei was on the peak of the Golden Heaven 3rd Stage, he needed just a thought and he would immediately start the Second Nirvana, but he needs to make things clear before doing so.
Steph: Sora… Why, do I have to wash Shiro's hair?
Sora: You want to let either me or Qiangwei see?
Steph: He-Hell no! I am just asking if you are intentionally creating more trouble for me!
Sora just started to ignore Steph, who was washing the hair of a displeased Shiro, and turned toward the third member of 『 』.
Sora: So, what is that thing you wanted to talk about?
Xiao Qiangwei just said nonchalantly, without caring about Steph's presence.
Xiao Qiangwei: I'm a cultivator.
No one talked for some time, the only person who didn't understand what that meant was Steph, while Sora and Shiro turned towards Xiao Qiangwei, who was calmly taking a bath.
Sora: You are what?!
Shiro: You are a… Cultivator…?!
Steph: Huh? What is a cultivator?
Xiao Qiangwei: Eeeyup, the same cultivator in those chinese novels you two read.
Sora/Shiro: ...Eh?!
Steph: Hey guys, what is happening? Could someone explain me what is a cultivator?
No one listened to Steph's question, who didn't have any clue about the weight of Xiao Qiangwei's words.
Xiao Qiangwei: About the details, we will talk later, I just want to warn you that soon I will not be present because I will need to break through a stage.
Sora and Shiro had serious expression, this thing should not be said lightly, so it meant that there will be some important things regarding Xiao Qiangwei.
[Later]
Xiao Qiangwei was wearing his usual clothes while Sora was wearing a butler's uniform and Shiro was wearing an old dress of Steph, and for last, Steph was wearing a dress made from a bed sheet.
All four of them were sitting in a table, and were looking at Xiao Qiangwei, who had his eyes closed all the time.
Sora: What do you mean with that sentence?
Xiao Qiangwei: It means exactly what I meant, every single word, I am a real cultivator who uses Qi, just like those in the wuxia or xianxia novels.
Steph: What is a cultivator?
Xiao Qiangwei: They are people who stopped being mortals and attained incredible powers from meditating or external sources.
Then Xiao Qiangwei stood up and walked towards a nearby table, he touched it with his finger, but the moment the finger touched the table, it turned in dust, surprising the spectators.
Steph: Whoa… Does it mean that everyone could use it too?
Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, but I would not suggest it to weak people… Because practicing cultivation is the same of going against the heaven, or in this case, fate.
If you try to cultivate, one day you will face tribulations coming from the heaven itself, trying to kill you, and you can only try to resist it, if you want a peaceful life, then you should not practice cultivation like me.
Everyone nodded, Sora and Shiro knew what he was talking about when he talked about tribulations, then Shiro asked.
Shiro: Then… What levels… You have?
This was a good question, and it will be answered.
Xiao Qiangwei: There are 8 realms…
The mortal realm…
The golden realm…
The nine immortal cycles…
The true immortal realm…
The heaven-defying core realm…
The godly realm…
The divinity creation realm…
And for last, the divine rebirth realm, there may be other realms other this, but my knowledge extends only until here.
Sora: And in which are you?
Xiao Qiangwei: I am at the peak of the golden realm, in some days I will enter the nine immortal cycles, but I need a place to stay for 24 hours, each realm is divided from a Nirvana, i am entering the Second Nirvana, where I will start my way to become an immortal.
Steph: Wow… And how strong are you?
Xiao Qiangwei: Well, if I use my True Qi, then I could destroy the entire castle in some dozen of punches. And I can fly too.
Sora whistled while Shiro's eyes widened, meanwhile Steph flinched. Then Xiao Qiangwei stood up and said before taking his leave.
Xiao Qiangwei: Alright, I will go to the guest room to pass the Second Nirvana, so I will be out in 24 hours, anything to tell me before I will be out?
Sora raised his hand and asked.
Sora: Does it mean that you can become a god too?
Xiao Qiangwei smirked, and said.
Xiao Qiangwei: Yes, I can, and I will reach that level… 'Again…'
Then Xiao Qiangwei walked away, heading towards the guest room, he put himself over the bed with his legs crossed over each other, and took a deep breath.
When he did that, his skin immediately shriveled, and his figure became skeletrical, his skin was becoming gray, his hair turned from platinum blonde to white, like those of an old man, it seemed like he was one step on the grave, but he was just passing through the Second Nirvana.
He will need to use all of his Life Force and fuse it with his True Qi, it lasted one day, but when they day passed, his True Qi will become Golden Qi, and he will start the Nine Immortal Cycles, starting the foundations for the True Immortal Realm.
