Capítulo 106: The greatest thief in the world who got caught

Zhi Yan said "The highlight Miss Xiao Qi speaks of obviously needs to be seen, but the main reason why this young master came here today is for the Phoenix Helianthus in Miss Xiao Qi's hands." Zhi Yan added loftily: "This young master's Emperor Profound bottleneck has already loosened, and breaking through is near at hand. I urgently need a Phoenix Helianthus to assist me, but that wretch Divine Phoenix Sect has already swept up all the Phoenix Helianthus. Fortunately, Miss Xiao Qi just happens to have one here. This Phoenix Helianthus, this young master here is taking it for sure. If anyone wants to fight over it with this young master… hehe."

Cross smiled and hiccupped as he said "This Sir.. The Chicken Helix has been purchased. Perhaps you could try your luck in the Emperor's vaults?" Yun Che almost spit out blood, who says something like that?!

Zhi Yan evidently didn't know either and was speechless, Cross patted his shoulder and said "Don't worry bro! I won't tell anyone, I promise. I have faith in your capabilities!" he hiccupped again and added "Anyways, see ya later! Good luck, if you find something cool, let me know, I'll buy it off you! Let's go, little bro!" as he landed on the ground and walked towards the exit, humming happily.

Yun Che chuckled and took the box before going after him, the entire building was stunned. Yun Che and Cross walked out of the building and into a crowd.

They got out of the crowd and Yun Che turned around before narrowing his eyes, Cross chuckled and blurred before a young man was in his hands. The young man had an ashen face as he said "So! So fast!"

Yun Che said "You want the Phoenix Helianthus?" the young man was stunned and said "How did you-" Yun Che said "I can smell the medicinal scent on you." The young man fell to his knees and said "Please give it to me! I'll give you whatever you want!"

Yun Che was stunned and said "Why?" The young man said "My wife! She's... If I don't get this flower she'll die!" Cross' eyes sharpened and he picked up the young man as he said "Where is your wife? Take me to her, now." Yun Che smiled and the young man was speechless.

Cross slapped him and said "Hurry up, kid. You think I have all day to fool around with you?!" the young man said "She's-" Cross grabbed Yun Che and disappeared into thin air.

They arrived at a house and the young man said "I originally had stolen half a stalk from the Emperor. I wanted to see the Legendary Princess Snow, but I didn't have time." Cross said "Princess Snow?" the young man said "You don't know Princess Snow?!"

Cross and Yun Che shook their heads, the young man said "Do you know Hua Minghai?" they both shook their heads again and the young man shouted "What!? Did you come from another world!?" Cross said "Woah! How did you know?!" Yun Che laughed and Hua Minghai collapsed.

They walked into the small house and Minghai said softly "Xiaoya are you okay? Did I scare you?" a woman, who looked like she was about to greet the grim reaper herself, was laying down on a bed and said softly "I'm fine... I feel much better..."

Cross walked up to her and spread his hand out above her, green strings flew out and got into her body, a few red strings and a purple one came out and went into her body as well. Cross whistled and a crack opened, Red flew out from the crack and landed on his shoulder.

Minghai's eyes popped out and rolled away as he shouted "A PHOENIX?!!?!?!" Cross ignored him and said "Tears." Red dripped a few tears and said "You know, a thank you would be nice." Cross chuckled and said "And you wonder why Blue doesn't like you? Stop being an asshole, would you even evolve if it weren't for me?"

Red harrumphed "My love life is none of your business! Plus, I remember getting that of my own effort!" Cross rolled his eyes and said "I think you're too shameless to be a Phoenix. Are you sure you're not a chicken?" Red chopped Cross' head with his wing and said "You're a Chicken!"

Cross snickered and guided the tears onto Xiaoya's head before slapping her. Minghai shook his fist and shouted "Did you just slap my wife?!" Cross said in an old man tone "It's a special medical technique. The Slap of Life!"

Xiaoya turned to the side and threw up buckets of black blood. Red cried a few more times on her and Cross said "Alright, scram! You shameless chicken.." Red chopped him again before flying through the crack and leaving.

Cross stepped back and said "The deed has been done." Yun Che gave him a look of disdain and Minghai slapped himself before rushing to his wife and checking, he was stunned.

Cross said with a sneer "Completely cured! What's a single poison to me?!" he sneered at Yun Che, who gave him the finger. Minghai feel to his knees again and said "Whatever you want me to do, I will do!" Cross said "Even if I want your cute little wife?"

Minghai jumped up and shook his fist saying "Even if I die you won't have her! I'll haunt your from the grave!" Cross burst out laughing and slapped Minghai saying "Alright, relax. I'm not going to take your wife from you." Minghai kneeled again and Yun Che chuckled as Cross slapped his forehead and said "Are you obsessed with kneeling? Are your knees made of wood?"

Minghai said "You just saved my wife! I have to kneel!" Cross said "Little Bro, you can have the favor. This guy keeps kneeling I might just ask him to let me kick him." Yun Che laughed and said "Little Hua, can you teach me that movement skill?"

Minghai looked to be in a difficult position and said "This is a family secret art... It cannot be passed to outsiders.. I'm sorry!" Yun Che smiled and said "No worries, I shouldn't have asked. See you later, Little Hua!" as he left with Cross. who went into the Sky Poison Pearl to flirt with Jasmine.

Cross flew over to Jasmine with a blush on his face as he said "Jasssssssy~" he tackled Jasmine and rolled on her bed, latching onto her like an octopus. Jasmine's face was as red as a tomato and she stuttered "J-J-JASSY?!" Cross giggled and hugged her tightly, rubbing his cheek on her cheek as he said "Mhm! My little Jassy."

Jasmine was flustered and tried to escape but Cross' arms and legs were like a vice grip, in the end she gave up and just laid there. It wasn't all bad. Cross was very warm, and he smelled really nice. It seemed that alcohol had no affect on his scent or breath, how convenient!

Cross was already sleeping and Jasmine turned to face him, curling up in his embrace with a smile as she slowly fell asleep as well.

A while later

Cross woke up and saw Jasmine curled up in his embrace, sleeping like a little kitten. He smiled warmly and kissed her forehead, before slipping out of bed and throwing a blanket over her. He smiled softly and teleported out of the Sky Poison Pearl.

He was greeted by the sight of a nearly dead Yun Che, he was startled and said "Aiyo! How does this guy almost die from just a nap?" he saw bandages and he noticed he was inside a cave, it looked strangely familiar.

Suddenly he heard the sound of a bowl falling to the ground and beautiful voice "B-Big Brother Cross?!" Cross froze over and turned around to see Feng Xue'er with a little Phoenix sitting on her shoulder. He opened his mouth but no words came out, he opened and closed his mouth a few times, completely unable to speak.

Feng Xue'er ran forward and hugged him saying "I thought you weren't going to come back and see me..." Cross trembled and awkwardly hugged her as he said "I.. Uh.. You.." Feng Xue'er looked up at him with watery eyes, Cross looked at her eyes and he looked away, feeling guilty.

Feng Xue'er looked about ready to cry, his heart throbbed in pain. Cross slapped himself before looking at Feng Xue'er in the eyes and saying softly "Feng Xue'er... I'm sorry for before. I left just like that..."

Feng Xue'er smiled and said "It's okay. I forgive you~" Cross' bones almost melted and he said "Xue'er is really my lucky star!" Feng Xue'er giggled happily, Cross smiled and said "I brought you a gift, Xue'er."

Feng Xue'er jumped happily and said "Wahh! Really?!" Cross smiled happily and nodded as he said "Of course! Would I lie to you?" Feng Xue'er giggled and said teasingly "You did already~" Cross coughed and said "Yes, well anyway." he took out the last black bead necklace.

Feng Xue'er looked at the Bead necklace and said "What's that?" Cross put it around her neck and gently cut her finger before running it across the beads. He slid his finger over her cut and the cut disappeared.

This time, he shamelessly said "Xue'er, your little cut is very hard to heal..." as he rubbed her hands with his own. Feng Xue'er rolled her eyes and said "Big brother came back a shameless man!" Cross scoffed and said "This is kindness, understand?" Feng Xue'er giggled and her necklace lit up before turning Gold.

She was amazed and Cross' bead necklace lit up as well, one bead turned blue before it dimmed down. The three beads were Red, White, and Gold in that order, with White in the middle and red and gold on each side.

Feng Xue'er felt an intimate connection with Cross and looked at him with her mouth wide open. Cross explained what the necklace does and Feng Xue'er hugged him again, saying happily "Big brother cares about meeeee~"

Cross choked and said "Aiyo! I got brother zoned..." he looked up and sighed "Seems like you can't buy a woman's affection with a Phoenix and a Heaven-Defying necklace after all..." Feng Xue'er giggled and got on her tip toes, kissing Cross on the cheek as she said sweetly "That's your reward for now~"

Cross rubbed his cheek with a smile as he said "No more acting?" Feng Xue'er tilted her head and said "What do you mean, Big Brother?" Cross laughed and pinched her nose, making her blush, as he said "I don't know what you're asking, little sister. Did you hit your head too hard?" Feng Xue'er felt her mouth twitch as Cross felt her forehead and take small advantages from her.

Feng Xue'er went back to the act and said sweetly "Big brother.. You're friend." Cross slapped his forehead and said "I actually forgot about him." Feng Xue'er actually laughed this time, before playing with her new necklace with a small smile.

Cross walked over and his hand glowed green, he slapped Yun Che in the face and Yun Che rolled on the ground, waking up. He looked up and said "Big bro? What happened? Where am I?" Cross helped him up and said "A nice little girl put the bandages on you. I just healed you though, come on! Praise my medical skills!"

Yun Che rolled his eyes and saw Feng Xue'er poking her head out from behind Cross, she was wearing the gold bead necklace and curiously looking at him. He saw the necklace and then at Cross, before secretly giving him a huge thumbs up.

Cross rubbed his nose and chuckled arrogantly. Feng Xue'er pinched Cross' waist hard with a pouting expression, unfortunately for her, Cross felt no pain whatsoever. Unfortunately for him, he had to fake it.

Cross jumped and squealed like a little girl in pain. Feng Xue'er burst out laughing and Yun Che smiled before sitting against a wall. Cross rubbed his waist and sat in front of him as he said seriously "What happened to you, bro?" Feng Xue'er sat next to Cross, looking curious as well.
