System Of Gods And Devils - Chapter 7

After 13 years…..

A silhouette can be seen sitting on top of a mountain peak filled with bone-chilling snow and scorching sun glaring like a predator on whoever on top. The Scorching Snow Mountains is one of the forbidden places in Yuan country.

Normally the Scorching Snow Mountains has been regarded as hell for cultivators because of its unusual cold and heat. Even the Emperor once went to Scorching Snow Mountains in regards finding any treasures in this unusual place as the powerful expert in the country, but he failed to find anything. He was bedridden after returning the Scorching Snow Mountains of serious injuries and Qi deviation. The Qi deviation caused his cultivation to go berserk and nearly died. From on then, he announced the Scorching Snow Mountains as a Forbidden Zone.

But a boy of 14 years of age on the top of Scorching Snow Mountains seemed to enjoy the climate, he had a cool and bright face, a strong and well-built body, a slightly messy hairstyle that seemed carefree, and was naked with bits of cloth seemed burnt on his body.

If you carefully look at his skin there is a translucent glow to his skin, making other’s feel Ethereal. It’s the sign of the birth of Immortal Jade body.

This a place considered a hell for cultivators but for him, it’s a heaven. When they first found out this place Kanna and Mia literally jumped in joy. Because for Yin-Yang cultivation this is considered as a treasure palace. The Scorching Snow Mountains is like a place made for Yin-Yang cultivators to refine their bodies without external source or refining by a slow process.

Zhang Shui finished his upgrade of Spirit Jade Body to Emperor Jade Body in his Eighth birthday.

On top of his shoulders, suddenly two little lolis appeared with a flushed red face with their eyes closed with both hands.

Zhang Shui looking at the Loli’s sinisterly smiled, “Hey Mia! Kanna! Both of you seen my naked body countless times! Don’t you think you guys should take some responsibility?”

“Wha… What responsibility….?” asked Mia while flustered in red face.

“Since you guys saw my naked body! Isn’t it correct for you guys to show your naked body in return!” asked Zhang Shui while sinisterly smiling.

“You…You….. You Pervert!” said Mia and disappeared in Puff of smoke.

“You! Aren’t you ashamed of bullying a little girl!” asked Kanna.

“Hey! When you guys did became close! Didn’t I thought Gods and Devil race hate each other!” said Zhang Shui with an astonished face.

Hearing this Question, Kanna got in thoughts. Then quickly regained her previous face and said,

“Hmph! In front of a Pervert like you! I even feel sorry for a devil regardless of the hate!”

Even though she said that he knew Kanna was lying. Recently, Kanna seemed to act like a big sister to Mia and seemed to care for her like a real Sister. Even though he never saw them talking too much, but he knew their relationship got closer.

“OK! Let’s stop this nonsense and talk about important stuff!” said Kanna.

“OK!” said Zhang Shui.

“So when are you going to start cultivating! We said you need to refine Yin-Yang Qi till Emperor Jade Body! But since you found this Treasure trove especially made for you, your body has been upgraded from Emperor Jade Body to Immortal Jade Body. Which can be considered as a normal level Genius even in the Upper Realm! So why are you still refining your body and not started Cultivating!” asked Kanna.

Hearing this question Mia silently popped up beside him awaiting his answer.

Kanna asked again “If it is any other, they would start cultivating after getting bullied that much! But why are you still waiting without cultivating?”

“Didn’t you said I’m getting bullied? Because it’s obvious that weak will always get bullied wherever you are! That’s why even if I transcend to Upper Realm, I want to be strong and don’t want to feel helpless waiting for other to help! I want to stand at the peak of heavens unhindered!” said Zhang Shui seriously.

Hearing this reply, a form of respect can be seen from her eyes for the first time. And Mia cutely looking at Zhang Shui of his courage.

“OK! Since your body has been upgraded to Immortal Jade Body! And from the process of Refinement, your strength should be able to topple an Intermediate foundation stage expert! And that without a cultivation base! If anyone knows that they would be shocked enough to fit a watermelon on their mouth!” said Kanna proudly.

“OK! OK! Let’s return home and have a feast!” said Zhang Shui happily.

“Yay!” said Mia who was silently listening to their conversation.

Looking at Mia both of them laughed, made her blush.

While returning on his way, Zhang Shui recalled how these years been tough on him. He has been verbally bullied to the extreme. Everybody looks at him like a trash. But no one ever touched him because of his beautiful sister who was the star of the school. His beautiful sister during her first year in school, she has been found out of her Pure Yin Body. It is considered as a thousand year Genius. She has been studying under school’s Great Elder as a Disciple. She’s also has been given an Essence Cultivation method from the school and considered as the next head of the school.

But still, Zhang Shui doesn’t want’s to stand behind her sister for protection like a coward. Knowing her brother well, she doesn’t get involved when he was bullied even though it breaks her heart every time. But still, she won’t allow someone to touch him. Once there was an incident where the bully thought his sister won’t come to save him and started beating and badly wounding him. When she heard that her brother is getting beaten, she killed the bully and his friends in anger. This was the first time she killed anyone, but still, she killed for her brother.

Even when the bully’s clan asked for justice, the school banned their clan from entering and joining the school forever. The clans got devastated and even kneeled on the gates for weeks to rescind the banishment. But still, none happened, this news just shocked everyone at the school. From on then no one ever dared to touch Zhang Shui. But they still bully him verbally behind his back and write trash on his seating place because of jealousy of his sister.

Zhang Shui should also be considered as a genius but he kept his upgraded Emperor jade body hidden with the help of his system because of his condition not to attract the attention of any powerful experts. Even his parents thought his reincarnation is the source of his problem in cultivating. So they became overprotective of him during those years and kept saying “We will always love you!” Even though that made his heart warm, but he still kept everything hidden to not to make his parents worry.

When he thought this time to show what he is capable of to his parents and make them proud, but the heaven’s had another plan.

He entered his house to find his parent’s missing and found a note and a ring on the table. He took the note and silently read it and tears started to form on his eyes.
