Chapter 93 - The NEET finally sees light!

February 9 X1990 Profound Year

Floating Cloud City, Xiao Clan

Within the Xiao Clan, at the personal courtyard of the oni elder Hua Mei, a family gathering could be witnessed, if anyone had the guts to put their line on the life to interrupt them.

Xia Hongyi, Xia Yuanba, Dongxue and Xia Qingyue had come over to celebrate the birthday one of Xiao Long (A/N: Remember he is Xiao Long currently, Yun Long is his correct identity) who was accompanied by his little sister Xiao Lingxi and his parents Xiao Lie and Hua Mei.

The current Yun Long wasn't wearing his normal earthly designed wool jumper that he made out of the furs of the Divine Beast, Primordial White Tiger or the Divine Sheep beast, he instead was wearing a robe designed for high class events.

A beautiful white robe with black patterns, his hair long enough where all the hairs that were lengthy were tied in black so all the golden ends of his hairs draped over his shoulders and his back, as he wore two beautiful rings that matched the rings of two little girls who were hugging his arms.

The girls had been accompanied by Yun Long within Floating Cloud and a few cities ever since he finished his meridian tempering of Hua Mei, and they had stopped cultivating since Yun Long advised them to do so whenever they have free time since they were young and forcing the cultivation is actually slightly harmful.

Yun Long also wanted to fix his mistake of not enjoying his childhood with them, since he viewed them as the older characters that he had read about in his past life.

But his outlook changed, and even though he is kind of manipulating his way into their hearts with the information he knew from his past life, the transition from viewing them as characters to his true loved ones had long passed.

Although, said information was extremely crucial in the changing of the future paths that the 'characters' that interacted with him 'would' have occurred.

With Qingyue he had done her such a large favour that she will not understand how much he had done for her… or is that the case… (A/N: *cough HSGG*)

With his adopted mother Hua Mei, he allowed her to survive the disaster of the black lightning.

Xiao Ying and Li Qin he managed to 'save', even at the cost of hiding their presence.

Dongxue managed to be there for her children and had a chance to become a truly great mother.

Lingxi he managed to let her enjoy a childhood with someone who was on her familial level (brother) and since he saved her mother he inadvertently saved a lot of memories and happiness she never would have found in the 'original' timeline.

Not that Yun Long knew that there was an original timeline.

Thinking off all the people whose live he managed to impact positively, and the fact that all off them had a place in his heart made him produce a content smile on his face subconsciously which knocked out a few woman who were watching him in their little restaurants.

Qingyue and Lingxi saw his smile as they hugged his arms and rested their heads on his shoulders whilst smiling under an extreme blush.

'So pretty...'

It had to be said when Xia Qingyue, Xiao Lingxi and Yun Long went outside for the first time in Floating Cloud City, it had almost become a major crises with how fast the news was spreading about the son of the Oni Elder who had been sheltered his whole life finally making an appearance in public without the strange mask he had on, and even those times could be counted as a handful.

Xia Qingyue and Xiao Lingxi were extremely going on shopping trips with their Big Brother Long, going fishing and other activities, however one thing that surprised them was how different Big Brother Long treated others… after all they had all gained the Ice Phoenix bloodline so they had a natural suppression affect.

However all the male young masters of the Floating Cloud like to spread rumours about him, after all his cultivation genius had already been documented, since a story had been leaked from someone who overhead the Oni Elder of the Xiao Clan go on a rampage when she heard that someone had viciously crippled her son because he was jealous of his master who had such a genius as a disciple.

So they liked to spread rumours he was just a pretty boy, one that rode the coat tails of the geniuses Xia Qingyue and Xiao Lingxi.

Which led to many of them getting the ice thorn treatment from Qingyue and Lingxi who just stared at them with anger, after all our lovable little Lingxi would bȧrėly find it in herself to create conflict until someone had touched her reverse scale, otherwise known as one Yun Long.

Yun Long would always help out the homeless kids that would be on the street by taking them to a restaurant and taking them to an inn and renting out a month worth of rooms for them to live in.

But when Lingxi asked why Yun Long didn't just give them a lot of money he just responded by saying.

"Lingxi, there is a lot of cruelty in this world, for one to live splendidly, another has to suffer grabbing onto that last bits of life that they can, and if I were to suddenly hand them a wealth that they are not accustomed to, they may fall victim to other villains and lose their life and I cannot always be there for them, if I looked after them for the rest of my life I would do so, but I have to focus on my family, even though it is selfish, this is the selfishness that I will live by, because as long as you live your truth Lingxi, you would always be happy in life, my little Lingxi" he started to wish wash around his response before trying to be inspirational.

Qingyue and Lingxi's eyes lit up, after all Big Brother Long's most handsome moments were when he was thinking seriously about something (cough… unconscious Shota movements/poses that had been unconsciously drilled into him by one Hua Mei) or when he was giving them advice, since he was a perfect person in their eyes.

Something the other customers who had been paying attention to them also thought.

One old man who had been passing by the Floating Cloud City felt that this boy would be a great disciple, his mindset is tempered and he had potential

"Boy, this old man wishes for you to become my disciple, what do you say"

Yun Long looked at him and saw his cultivation was at the Emperor Profound Realm 1st Level and laughed in disdain internally.

"Old man, you are only at the Emperor Profound Realm 1st Level, before I was crippled I had a higher cultivation than you, do not insult this young master in thinking you can make me acknowledge you as my master, no one under the heavens can claim that they are my master" Yun Long barked out, what did this old man take him for?
