Rebirth in Against the Gods with The Ultimate System - 92 Chapter 92
“Three-month agreement? What are talking about, rascal?” Little Fairy started to wonder. What contract? What did she do three months ago?
Yun Che dispels his hollow mask and his bankai before storing Zangetsu back into his inner world. Then he slowly put Kon on the ground before turning serious. He pulls a deep breath before finally said “You seriously don’t remember?”
“What did I….” Suddenly, Little Fairy started to remember the scene where she first met them. Both he and Retsu at that time were Earth and Spirit cultivators. The snowball and the first time she saw his bankai. But most importantly, she remembered something that the said that caused her to regret everything.
Three months ago…..
Yun Che finally laid his conditions before saying “These are my conditions. So what say you?”
She pondered for a while. For the sake of breaking through and getting healed. Three months isn’t a long time. Besides, she can beat the living hell out of this despicable fiend legally.
She then said “I agree. Three months and then we went our separate ways.”
“Three months and then we went our separate ways.”
…
….
..
.
Currently she widens her eyes as she repeats on the things she said to him three months ago. It’s true that she wanted to went on their separate ways at that time. But, is the parting that she wanted? She finally had friends that she can truly called sisters. But most importantly, she finally found the man who she truly fell in love with.
“What happened three months ago?” Cang Yue suddenly asked gaining Kon’s attention as well. Retsu turned her head towards her and gave her the full summary. Cang Yue widen her eyes as she heard the story before wanted to shout towards Yun Che. But, she was held back by her shoulders by Retsu. Kon wanted to transform to give Yun Che a beating but Retsu’s stare quiet him down.
Cang Yue turned around and said “Sister Retsu…”
Retsu knew about this agreement and she said “Sister Yue, Young master is keeping his promise towards her. Right now, it depends on her choice.”
“But…..” Cang Yue was feeling conflicted. She had to respect her decision.
Kon glared at Yun Che before saying “Bastard, if you kick her out. I’ll kick your ass. I won’t forgive you for making a her cry.”
Little Fairy was quiet while her bangs covering her eyes. She wished that she could take it all back. Three months passed in a blink of an eye and she didn’t even realize it. This agreement was promised and forgotten the moment she bonded with them. She was able to cast away her status as the Leader of the Seven Fairies and walk with them as equals. They didn’t treat her like someone important or sweet words with her. They treated her as a friend, as a sister.
She was truly happy as she finally found friends that understood her. Bonded as well as sharing her long life dream of being a mother with them. Protecting and risking her life to save them. She even gained skills and her cultivation from them. After all they been through, is this the parting that she expects?
“No, I don’t want this.” She slowly repeating those words in her heart.
“Ras….cal… You don’t need me anymore?” As she said that, she was slowly shedding a tear as her emotions were gushing in on her. The ice heart she cultivated before was long gone and she could finally feel what it was to be sad. If she truly went on their separate ways, she’ll destroy the very thing she cherish the most. Her bond with them.
Yun Che walked over to her but she was too shaken to notice him approached her. He didn’t do anything but put his hand on top of her head. Surprisingly, Little Fairy didn’t even resist his touch before she raised her head and both of their eyes met with each other.Tears were gushing out from her eyes.
“I do need you. I want you to stay actually. Not in a weird way. But, you bonded with us and become one of our mischievous little group. But I am keeping my promise to you. Hiding my promise is the same as shackling you and I won’t feel myself if I continued it.” He slowly wiped her tears and lets her go.
“So, Retsu and I are grateful towards you for training and protecting us. You stayed with us until the very end.” When Little Fairy heard it, she was slowly shaking as he was letting her go. He couldn’t blame them. She and him made that promised and he was only keeping and fulfilled it. She slowly fell to her knees as her heart aches as she slowly thinks about the feeling of loneliness she is going to feel from now on. The loneliness of a friendless person. She was immune before but she couldn’t bear to feel that feeling anymore.
Yun Che approached her before kneel down and hold her by her shoulder and lift her chin up. “But, I fulfilled my promise of relieving you from your contract with us. Little Fairy. Now I ask you this….” She widens her eyes as Yun Che stared him with serious eyes. She seen him teasing and joking around before but the last time she seen these eyes was before she passed out from their first fight. The eyes that she fell for.
“Will you continue to stay with us?”
“Will you see us as your family from now on?”
“Will you treat Cang Yue and Retsu as your sisters from now on?”
“Finally….Will you treat me and Kon as someone important to you?”
Little Fairy couldn’t take it anymore before jumping towards Yun Che and beating his chest. But none of her strikes contain any strength as if she was a mere mortal. She was sobbing as she continued to beat his bare chest and didn’t care about the dirt and blood on his body.
Yun Che didn’t do anything as he lets her beating his chest. Not that he felt any pain but he was letting her throwing her frustrations at him. Retsu and Cang Yue didn’t say anything as they observed what is going to happen next.
“You’re a rascal!!!! And I hate you!!! I really…really hate you!!!”
“You and your jokes!!!! Your teasing!!! Sob* Sob*” As her beating dies down, she finally calmed down but she was still sobbing.
She was still beating him but it slowed down before finally stops as both of her fist was on his chest. Yun Che was shocked again as she cries and landed her head on his chest while gushing out tears from her eyes. It’s clearly she didn’t want to separate from them. They changed her, turn her from a cold hearted and emotionless cultivator into someone who was full of emotions. She pulls a deep breath and shouted “DO YOU EVEN NEED TO ASK?!?!?”
Yun Che and the others smile as he finally hugged her to calm her down. Right now, she wasn’t bound by a promise or a contract anymore. She stayed with them because she wants to.
As he was hugging her, he never noticed that her body was really soft and her hair smelled really sweet. As expected from Grayfia Lucifuge lookalike. Both of them stayed like that for a while before he heard a voice came from his chest “How long are you keeping on holding me, you rascal?”
Yun Che continued to hug her and said “Ara, you calmed down? Well, Your body felt really soft though.”
“You… rascal!! *smack” She slapped him before slowly removing herself from his embrace. She admitted she kind of like it for some reason and she didn’t mind doing it for a little longer. But this rascal tends to take advantage of it. She wiped her tears and regaining her composure.
Yun Che didn’t felt any strength from that slap as he smiled at her. Looks like that’s her way of expressing her friendliness to him. She stared at him before a healthy blush covers her face before turning around to hide her face. She suddenly felt better after bawling her eyes at him as if all her sealed emotions are finally let out and she was free from her emotional burdens.
“Sister YueChan!!!” Cang Yue suddenly jumped and hugged her while tears gushing out of her eyes. “Please don’t leave us.” Little Fairy just smiled before petting her head to calm her down.
“Don’t worry, I am still here.” She consoled Cang Yue before turning her eyes at Retsu who comes by her and hugged her as well. She even wrapped her soft tails around them.
Retsu tighten the hug around them and said “No matter how far apart, we are sisters now.”
Yun Che stood by all by himself observing these girls. He had a wide smile seeing these girls bonded with each other. Kon suddenly appeared on his shoulder and said “Chee, Lucky bastard.”
He smiled at him and said “I heard that you wanted to beat my ass for making her cry just now.”
Kon was sweating bullets and said “Oh..ahahaha…you heard it?”
Yun Che shrugged his shoulders and said “Dude, I heard everything. You don’t have to beat my ass anymore. She’s already done it.”
Seeing her happy look, Kon said “Looks like she finally found a place where she belongs, right?”
“Yes.” Yun Che nodded his head remembering the original timeline. In that timeline, she was expelled from her sect to fend for herself as well protecting his and her child at that time. What kind of sect expelled a pregnant woman and just let her wonder in the infinite snowstorm? No wonder the original him was pissed off at that time. Speaking of her sect….
As the three girls were talking, Yun Che slowly approaches them. Little Fairy was the first one who spoke “Rascal, thank you.”
He was dumbfounded by Little Fairy’s sudden thanks so he asked her “Hmm? For what?”
“For giving me a family. A place for me to return to. Despite becoming the strongest in my sect. I was actually lonely. No one to talk to and no one to call a friend or a sister. But following you and sister Retsu giving me the chance to be myself.”
“It goes without saying. We bonded in our adventures and destroying that bond is even worse than killing. Bonds aren’t that important in this cruel world but those things are ones bind us together. That’s far more important than any treasure.” His statement might cause the world to laugh at him but this statement that binds all of them together.
Then, he slowly said to the girls. “But this time, sorry to break it to you girls. But Little Fairy, I have a request.”
“Me? If its within my ability, I’ll do it.” Little Fairy’s trust to Yun Che was the same as entrusting her life to him. If he had a request then she didn’t hesitate to fulfill it.
Yun Che then dropped the bomb on her. “Little Fairy, although this might be sudden but I need you to return to your sect.”
The atmosphere was quiet for some time before Kon started to shout at him. “Bastard!! You wanted her to return to her sect that much?”
Cang Yue tighten the hug on her waist.”But… Yun Che, she said she wanted to stay.”
“Young master? Why?” Retsu did the same thing with her tails as well.
Little Fairy was slowly tearing up again. To think that his request was actually to sent her back. “Rascal…So you really don’t need me….”
“It’s not like that!!!” His sudden shout earned everyone’s attention back to him. “It’s like this, Little Fairy. When are you supposed to return to your sect?”
Little Fairy wiped her tears and said “My sect? I am supposed to return…ahh.. Three months ago.” She suddenly remembered that she was supposed to return to her sect after obtaining the item to fix the poison in her body.
“Yes, as you can see. Little Fairy was supposed to return three months ago but because of me and Retsu. She had to stay with us and postponed her return back to the sect.”
Kon decided to ask for them. “What happens if she didn’t return back?”
“We have to remember that Little Fairy is the leader of the Seven Fairies of Frozen Cloud Asgard. Someone like her is an extremely high status in her sect. So imagine someone of that much importance didn’t return back on the day she supposed to.”
Cang Yue slowly said “The sect leader will send someone to find her.” Even for her, if she didn’t tell the Palace master about her departure, someone will bound to search for her.
“Now, you get it. If she was seen with anyone especially me. She would be punished severely by her sect as they tend to hate males involving with their disciples. Even if I am not here, she will be asked to return to the sect to prepare for the upcoming tournament.” The rest of them seems to understood the situation but Cang Yue was kind of reluctant to let Little Fairy go. Even if she officially a member of their little group. Retsu slowly unwraps her tails around them before letting her go.
“But….” Little Fairy slowly muttered.
Yun Che smiled at her and said “I know you wanted to travel more with us. But eventually, we will meet in the Imperial City for the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament and I trust all of you are going to be there. So, just stay and lay low in the sect for two months’ time.”
Retsu said with a calm smile “We’re on our way to the Imperial City anyway. So let’s meet there. Sister YueChan.”
Cang Yue wasn’t willing to let her go but she didn’t mind but as long as she can meet her again. “Hnnn, I don’t want you to go Sister YueChan. But please be at the tournament.”
Little Fairy slowly nodded at Yun Che’s request for their sake. “Hnnn, I’ll comply. I will return to the sect and lay low for a while. Just promise me, rascal.”
He looked at her seriously. “Anything…”
“Please be there. My sisters. Rascal and even Kon. Promise me we will meet at the tournament.” If none of them shows up, then she’ll be devastated. Who knows what could happen in two months time.
Yun Che tapped her shoulder and shows her his reassuring smile. “Of course, you’re one of us now. We’re now a family. And I intend to keep my promise.”
“Well then, looks like it’s time for me to go. Make way to the Imperial City and wait for me. Sister Retsu and Sister Yue. Take care of this rascal here.”
“We promised.” Cang Yue said to her.
“Don’t worry, young master will be okay. I am keeping a close eye on him.” Retsu said while wrapping a tail around Yun Che.
As Little Fairy was preparing herself. Yun Che suddenly appeared next to her and lift up her hand.
“Rascal?” She didn’t resist Yun Che’s touch but he points her spatial ring and channeled some pills modified by the system. The same pills he gave her to breakthrough into the Seventh Level in the first place.
He slowly said “Something for you, consume it once a week and your cultivation should be at the Half Step of Tyrant Profound Realm. The process of breaking through into the Tyrant Profound Realm is quite hard so I’ll help your breakthrough two months from now. Train your haki for the next two months. You should reach Advance stage for both haki if you train diligently.”
Little Fairy keep his advice in mind before he gave her another item. “And here, wear this.”
“Rascal this is…?” Yun Che actually pulled something she clearly recognize. It was Cang Yue’s necklace which she used to masked her aura back in the Profound Palace.
“This originally belongs to Cang Yue but she didn’t need it anymore and I asked it from her. I made some modifications to it and I am giving it to you. It should mask your aura back to the Peak of Sky Profound Realm. Wouldn’t want the sect to go crazy about your sudden power up.” Little Fairy understood him and she saw Cang Yue nodded at her as well. She puts on the necklace and her aura was masked back into the Peak of Sky Profound Realm.
“Hnn, I will.” Little Fairy’s gaze on Yun Che soften. This rascal of hers had been helping her ever since he met her. This kind and compassionate self for her and the others has opened up a new feeling in her heart.
“Fly in this direction. It should be safe and you should arrive back at the Asgard by tomorrow.” Yun Che used the system’s mapping and determine the direction for the Frozen Cloud Asgard. He points her the safest route there. With her strength, she should have no problem encountering human experts of this Empire.
She gave Retsu as well as Cang Yue a sisterly hug before giving Kon a friendly punch. Despite she hated him for being a pervert, he stills protected both of her and Cang Yue back then.
She turned towards Yun Che and said “Rascal, please protect everyone.” He didn’t say anything but gives her a thumbs up. Cang Yue was tearing and Retsu simply waved at her. Retsu was surprisingly mature but deep down she felt a little sad seeing her leave. Yun Che petted her head and said “Don’t worry, we’ll see her again.”
Retsu just nodded and rest her head on his shoulder. Kon was on his other shoulder giving her a wave as well. Little Fairy was about to fly but she suddenly turned back and run towards Yun Che.
“What’s wrong? You forgot some…”
*Chu
Yun Che felt something soft on his left cheek as Little Fairy pulled his shoulder and points her head towards there. He was too stunned to register that Little Fairy was actually giving him a kiss on his left cheek.
Kon was tearing up and shout “Lucky Bastard!!!”
“Ara-ara…” Retsu was squealing as she saw Little Fairy was making a move on him.
“Sister YueChan, no fair!! So bold!! Shameless!!” Cang Yue shouted at her as she saw her kissed him on the cheek. Little Fairy ignored their reactions as she infused her Frozen Cloud movement art with Haki before flying away into the direction Yun Che pointed just now. Before she left, all of them clearly saw her face was red as a tomato. A forty-year-old woman embarrassed like a high school girl? Yes, indeed.
Retsu saw his shocked expression before smirking. “Ara-ara, young master. Are you that shocked?”
“Well, I didn’t expect she would do that.” Yun Che was slowly getting red and point his face in the other direction. Retsu saw his cute expression just like when he first confessed to her. “Young master, you look really cute when you’re embarrassed. That’s why I love you so much.” As Yun Che was still stunned, Retsu took the advantage and land another kiss on his right cheek.
“If Sister Retsu and Sister YueChan did that. Then, I am going to do it as well.” Yun Che was quite shocked this time as Cang Yue suddenly jumped towards his left cheek and land her own kiss there as well. Seeing Yun Che’s face up close caused her to steamed out from the embarrassment and passed out on his arms. Kon was screaming “Lucky Bastard!!! Why did the girls only on to you? This isn’t fair.” before tears of frustration came from his eyes.
“Hueeehhh.” Cang Yue’s face was so red but she had a satisfied smile on her face as well.
He antics remind him of certain someone who fainted when she met her idiotic blonde love interest. What was it again?
“Why are the sisters are so bold today?” Retsu smiled and hold Yun Che’s arm and rest her head there again. With both Cang Yue and Retsu on him. He sighs “Sigh, what in world happened to these girls?”
Yun Che pets Retsu’s head affectionately regaining his composure and said “All right-all right. Let’s get out of here before the experts shows up. The system detected a mass amount of human experts are on their way here.”
“Hmph, they’re really a bother. Just I am about to have my ‘young master’ moment. Maybe I should annihilate them.” She slowly said before wrapping him in her tails.
Seeing her antics like a possessive wife, he sighs and said “Hai hai, you can have all the moments you want after we get out of here.”
“Really?!? Then where are we going?” With Cang Yue passed out, she planned to wrapped him with her tails and recharge herself on him. It’s been a while she had a cuddle with him.
“Even if we promised to go the Imperial City but we’ll going to take an alternate route to get there. We’re going to the Wasteland of Death.” From the novel, the Wasteland of Death was consider a high level place in the Empire. But, he wanted to head there for a reason.
“Wasteland of Death? Sounds exciting, let’s go!!!” Kon was glittering in his eyes as he shouted from his shoulder and pointed out with his plushy hand.
Retsu deployed Minazuki while he carried the passed out Cang Yue in a princess carry before boarding it and disappeared from the area.
