Chapter 18 - Main Headquarters!

Qingyue, coming out of the flower garden was blushing hard. She was still bashful of the thing that just happened back in the garden. She looked out of the window towards the city that her brother always keeps viewing whenever he has free time. She liked her brother, who despite having enough power, never showed any arrogance in front of commoners or mortals. He never disdains them. Whenever he is free he would go out and help them in their daily task. He would even work at farms like a normal farmer. That's why, resident in the city loved him, not because he was Medical Saint or was a cultivator, but because he never looked down on them like most other Young Masters.

She once asked her brother, why would he help mortals when he is stronger than them?

"Even if we become immortals, we should never forget our roots Yue'er. Every person is born with a talent that could be anything. Just because they cannot cultivate doesn't mean that they can't do something else. Remember it Yue'er, Heaven has a road, but no one travels it; Hell has no gate but men will dig to get there. Just because they are mortals doesn't mean that we are to look down upon them, since we are born of mortal too." He said smiling gently while patting my head.

Remembering the past she also started to remember the time when she said that she would marry him. She started to blush hard. "Ah! How could I have said such a thing"

SFX: Sound of a door opening

"What are you whining about sister?" Yuanba asked. He was coming here to see his brother tell him about his cultivation. But when he opened the door he saw his sister talking to herself while placing her hands against her cheeks. He was confused.

Qingyue who heard his voice came out of her fantasies. She looked back saw a boy, who, if someone saw would not believe that he is 11 years old. He was tall. Had strong muscles on his body, felt like he has been training his muscles for a long time. Her brother has told them that it was because of his special veins. She took a deep breath to calm herself.

"Nothing! What are you doing here?" she asked, smiling gently.

"I here to meet brother to tell him that I have made Minor Completion in my physiques," Yuanba said smiling happily. His brother has given him a profound art that lets one train their physiques. But the art was really hard to understand. It took him seven years to achieve Minor Completion in it.

"Really! Let me take a look!" Qingyue said, surprised. She knew Yuanba was not into cultivation that much. He liked to play with other kids more than spending his time in cultivation. She looked at his profound strength and found out that he was already at the middle stages of True Profound Realm. She could feel that his body was still collecting Primordial Energy from the surroundings and absorbing it in his body.

The Physique that Wang Lei has given to Yuanba was Furious Immortal Tyrannical Physique from the word Hardness. It was a physique that unlocked the hidden potential of the one cultivating. The more hidden talent one had, the more it will unlock it. It was a perfect physique for someone like Yuanba who didn't have a tyrannical heart that was needed to awaken his Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins.

"Brother is busy receiving his guest. You should meet him once he comes out. Let's go and tell the mother about your accomplishment. I am sure she will be happy to know it" Qingyue said.

Yuanba nodded happily. He was thrilled to tell everyone that he has attained Minor Completion since everyone in their family knew that the Art that Wang Lei has created was very hard to cultivate. One needed to have special talents and advice from their brother or they can spend their lifetime, just to understand the basics of it. He followed Qingyue and went towards the garden where Dongxue usually was.

***

Dongxue was sitting in the garden and enjoying her tea. It has been 15 years since she has been on this star. For her, every day she has been living here is like a dream. She doesn't have to be afraid all the time like in the God Realm. She was enjoying it when she saw Qingyue and Yuanba coming. She gently smiled when she saw them. She enjoyed spending her time with them.

"You two finally done with your cultivation? It's been a week and mother missed you. Come here, hug mother" Dongxue said, smiling towards the two.

Qingyue and Yuanba smiled and hugged her.

"Mother I have achieved minor completion in my physique!" Yuanba said enthusiastically. He was really happy.

"Really?! That's good! I am proud of you, Yuanba!" Dongxue was just as surprise as Qingyue when she heard he has achieved minor completion, at the same time she felt proud. She was not learning any physique. Wang Lei asked her but she rejected him as she hadn't wanted to cultivate anymore. She wanted to spend her time as a housewife.

Qingyue smiled watching Dongxue and Yuanba. She thought if she married Wang Lei she will also have a happy family 'Stop!!'

"Where is Lei'er?" Dongxue asked.

Qingyue came out of her daydreams.

"Brother is-"

"I am here!"

Before she could finish, she heard a voice behind her. She looked back and saw Wang Lei standing beside a tree, drinking something.

"You here! Come here and let mother hug you" Dongxue said. She thought her son liked to show off.

Wang Lei who heard her smiled and went towards her. If he knew what she was thinking he would have retaliated. He was thinking whether those of Frozen Asgard will come or not. Though he was sure that they will.

***

Gong Yuxian and Feng Qianhui with seven fairies were going towards the Floating Cloud City. It has been a week since Yuxian got the letter and gave it to Qianhui. After gathering Seven Asgard's Fairies they were on their way. Yuxian and Qianhui were thinking about the deal and the contents of the letter.

"Is what Asgard Mistress said true, Yueli?" Chu Yuechan asked. They were informed about the information of what happened and the talk between Wang Lei and Chu Yueli. They were surprised but mostly doubtful of his claims. He was Medical Prodigy but didn't have any fighting record. If it was about medicine then they might believe it, but it was about profound arts. They have never heard him doing anything related to cultivation. So, they were doubtful of him claiming that he could perfect their art. But they didn't say anything as it was a decision made by their mistresses.

"It is! And when you meet him don't look down on him just because you don't feel any profound strength on him. He hides his strength well." Yueli warned them. She could tell whatever was written in the letter has to do with the future of the Asgard. She can't let this meeting go wrong.

Chu Yuechan and other fairies who heard her were curious about this youth who could leave such an impression on her.

"Say, is he handsome?" Feng Hanxue asked. She and her sister are usually is not allowed to go out of the Asgard but now they are going out to meet a boy. She was more curious about him than the matter of joining the guild.

"… he is…" Yueli voice was almost not hearable but everyone here was cultivator they could hear it.

Feng Hanxue and Feng Hanyue looked at her, who was trying to hide her blush. They were intrigued.

Chu Yuechan who saw her sister blushing was shocked. 'What did he do to her?!'

Other fairies were also shocked seeing her blushed look. They were wondering what he did to her to make her this bashful.

Yuxian who saw her blushing narrowed her eyes. She was sure that Yueli had some kind of feelings for this youth but she can't let her stray.

Qianhui saw this but didn't say anything. She was thinking about the deal that they were going to make with Wang Lei. She was more curious about what was written in the letter. 'How did he knew about it?'

Chu Yueli speedily hides her blush. She has been having this weird feeling since the time since she came back-sent back to Asgard. She didn't know what these feelings were but she knew it was because of Wang Lei. 'I have been thinking about him since the time I came back. I can't even cultivate normally. What has he done to me!?'

"We are here!" Yuxian said looking towards the Floating Cloud City.

Hearing her she came out of her daydream and looked towards the city. Other fairies also looked towards the city. There was nothing noteworthy about this city. They started to float towards the city. But before they could go towards the Xia Manor, their surroundings change. By the time they realized they were in a flower garden. They could only see the flower as far as the horizon. Birds were flying and singing. In the center of all this was a big table with 10 seats. All kinds of delicacies were on the table. They couldn't tell most of them. They saw a youth sitting at the head seat drinking something black. It looked like tea but they could tell that it was not.

It would have been a beautiful sight to watch if only they knew how or when they got here. They were sure that they were going towards the Xia Manor but suddenly they were in this flower garden. All of them were cautious except Yueli as she knew who this man was.

They all saw the man looking towards them and made a slight smile. They could tell that he was handsome and charismatic. It was hard to ignore this man. If he was in the crowd, then he would be the center of attraction of everyone.

"You all are finally here! I have been waiting for a week. I thought that you would not come" Wang Lei said. He looked at the nine beauties. Two middle-aged and the other seven looked like teenagers. But everyone had certain beauty about them. He has been waiting for them for a week. At some point, he thought that maybe they will not join his guild.

Hearing him they came out of their thoughts. Yuxian took two steps forward, "Who are you? And how did we end up here? What is this place?"

"mah~ you asked lots of question, Little Lady. Didn't Little Li tell you all about me?"

'Little lady?! He called me Little Lady!!' Yuxian lips were twitching. If not that she didn't know where they were, she would have killed this youth.

'Little Li?!' Chu Yuechan and other fairies looked towards Yueli who was blushing being called that in front of everyone.

Qianhui curiously looked over him. "Are you Wang Lei, Medical Prodigy?"

Qianhui how was being checked felt like she was nȧkėd in front of him. The first time in her life she felt like this. But for some reason, she couldn't bring herself to hate. She was surprised that she was not disgusted by his gaze. She blushed when she thought that she was not disgusted being seen nȧkėd in front of this youth. 'what am I thinking? Is he's using some kind of profound art?'

"Indeed I am, Little Hui. Come, sit" Wang Lei said. He was thinking about how he liked calling everyone little. He sounded like an old man but for some reason he felt really good every time he says it. 'Now I understand why all those supreme experts liked to call everyone brat or little'

Qianhui who heard him blushed even more. She shakes her head and sits on the other head chair.

Others who saw the whole conversation were shocked. They couldn't think straight and just sat on the chairs.

Yueli was more straight. She went and sit beside him, the chair closer to him, and started to eat cakes. She liked the sweetness of this dish. She was wondering where he got it from.

When everyone sat, Wang Lei also sat and started to eat. He ignored everything around him.

"Ahem* what you have written in the letter, is it true?" Yuxian seeing awkward silence said.

Hearing him Wang Lei remembered what he had written. He hadn't written much expect, {Join my guild with all stated conditions, and I will save you from 1000 years' calamity or be ready to be destroyed. Buhahahaha!}

'Now that I think about it, that's sound like a threat!'

"It is Little Xian. Join my guild and I will protect the Asgard. I don't think I need to prove whether I can or not, right?" Wang Lei said smiling.

"How did you know about 1000 years calamity? Only Asgard Mistress should know about it" Qianhui asked. She has been thinking about it all the time. She was wondering whether he was versed in the art of deviation.

"There is nothing that I don't know, Little Hui. Heaven knows everything and so do I!"

"Hump! What a bold claim! Does that mean you know everything!" Chu Yuechan snorted. She looked towards him like he was an idiot, thinking he knows everything.

"Well, if you compare my knowledge with all of you sitting here than yah, I do know everything!" Wang Lei said smiling.

"You…!" Chu Yuechan gnashed her teeth. She wanted to refute but before she could say anything she was stopped.

"Enough! We are not here for this!" Yuxian shouted. She didn't know how he knew this but since he was not telling they could not force him.

"If you know everything then do you know what happened to our ancestor Mu Bingyun?" Qianhui asked.

"I do! But don't expect me to tell you about it, I don't own you anything. Anyway, let's get back to the main object. Will you join my guild or not?" Wang Lei asked. He didn't like beating around the bush.

Qianhui, Yuxian, and others were shocked when they heard he knew what happened to their ancestor but after hearing they all looked towards Qianhui as she was the one to make a decision.

Qinghui hearing him became quiet. She was thinking about various possibilities to make it more profitable but could think of nothing. In the end, she sighed. "Alright! Asgard will come under your guild!"

Yuxian sighed hearing her. They didn't have much choice. Their Asgard was under danger. If they could be saved from the calamity, then they wouldn't mind coming under him.

Wang Lei hearing her smiled. The first step of his plan was complete. He started to eat and asked them to eat too.

After some time, Qianhui asked, whether they can see his guild since they never saw it. She was curious as she hadn't seen any building worth watching in the city.

Hearing her he smiled and snapped his fingers.

They realized that they have left the flower garden and were standing in a hall. It was a big hall with different kinds of decorations. The most eye-catching thing was the glass windows. They were everywhere.

They were dumbfounded. It was so beautiful that they couldn't say a word.

"Where is this place?" Chu Yuechan asked.

"looked out the window and you will know!" Wang Lei said pointing towards the window.

They all looked outside the window and were surprised again as they could see the Floating Cloud City. They were in the sky! They all came out of the great hall and flew to see the whole picture. 'what the hell?!!'

They all could see a big island floating in the air. There was a castle in the center of the island which was surrounded by a garden. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. 'A flying island?! How the hell is he flying such a bid object?'

"Welcome to the main headquarters of my guild- Hanging Gardens of Babylon!!"
