Chapter 15 - Aftermath

~~~~~~With Proud Disciple of Xiao Sect Branch~~~~~~

"Oh, my head..." He slowly stand-ups on his feet.

"why it's so cold in here?" he looks around first thing he noticed that he is buŧŧ-naked!

"what!" he quickly checked himself.

"I got robbed! but why he didn't take my storage ring???" He quickly fished out his spare clothes and got dressed up.

"What a weird criminal..." He said with confusion yet same time his pride got hurt, after all, he is a disciple of Xiao Sect!

Feeling vindictive, instead of going to his usual place, he dashed back to Sect to get some brothers join him to find this bastard and beat him up!

No one messes with Xiao Sect!

He arrived at the Xiao Sect and there was massive disturbance going on inside the Sect, he could SENSE it from outside the Sect walls!

"Halt! show me your badge!" he quickly started checking his storage ring for his badge.

...

...

it's missing!!!

oh sh1t...

"Senior brother! I was robbed! this morning I woke up and my clothes were missing! and my badge was stolen too!" he quickly said with sweat rolling down his forehead.

"humph! Discipline hall elders will deal with you then!" The main guard said with distaste.

"You!" the Head guard pointed at one of his minions " take this idiot away to the see discipline hall elder!" the grunt fell chill running down his spine hearing that he will be taken there!

Barely anyone comes back from that place, since they usually send 'criminals' to explore the Dark Forest!

"Right away! Senior Brother!" two other guards grabbed grunt and took him away.

The Head Guard looked at the grunt with distaste, that moment he saw glowing letters appear on Grunt back. he instantly got the urge to kick his ȧss, so he quickly appeared behind him and kicked right in his ȧss.

*Leg hits Ass*

The Grunt landed on his face, while the Head guard snapped out of this 'trance' and walked back to his post as if nothing happened.

"w-what was that for senior!" the grunt said painfully as he was holding his ȧss.

"get lost already..." the head guard waved him off, as if he saw nothing... or did.

As two guards were 'guiding' this grunt to Discipline hall he noticed the scotch mark all over the place, corridors were missing walls, some other place we're literally vandalised!

"Seniors, what happened here?" He asked with shock, who has the sheer gall to attack Xiao Sect!?

Seniors sneered with distaste and hatred

"Burning Heavens Sect that's who! they robbed us, killed several elders! and worst of all they did something to Branch Leader and Young Master!" Grunt was horrified what he heard from the Guard.

"SUGAR!!! this Young Master Demands more SUGAR!" Grunt looked to the side towards the main compound we're he heard the voice of Young Master, who was literally screaming like a little brat.

"B-but Young master Loucheng, you already eaten all our Sect fruits and deserts!" One of the remaining elders said to Young Master, sweat was rolling down from his face, he has a war to prepare to yet he has to babysit this brat!

"I don't care this Young Master want's SUGAR! you will find it! or I will have your head!" Xiao Loucheng said with spit coming from his mouth.

Then Grunt saw how the always dashing young master looks like, he was shell-shocked! Young master clothing was disgusting and full of food stains, and his stomach was showing signs of getting fat.

'what's happening to young master Xiao!'

"at once Young Master!" the elder quickly left wanting to be as far away as possible from this...

pig!

The guards got tired of gaping grunt and pushed him to start walking again.

But not long pass that 'incident', every single sect member heard very loud laugh...

"GAHAHAHAHA! This Master! Shall rule this Galaxy through my moves! you! minion! Come over here! Let me teach you how to DANCE! " Hearing that Everyone looked at approaching Branch Leader, who was moving his hɨps in an exaggerated manner, as if showing off his ȧss...

He grabbed the Grunt, spin him once, then he did weird hand movement...

"Listen well! This Master is the greatest Dancer in Galaxy! No mere mortal can comprehend the sheer grace behind my moves!" Once he said that he started moonwalking out of the compound.

"w-what was that?" the grunt tried to comprehend what he just saw?!

"just move... that was Leader in one of his 'moments' at least this time it was...a tame one... last time he was acting like a horse." the Guard said in an exasperated way..." He pushed the Grunt again and they continued walking toward Discipline hall

'what happened to this place?!?'

"GAHAHAHA! My moves shall conquer this Galaxy!!!"

"Oh shut up!" Xiao Loucheng shouted to his father while he was stuffing himself with sweets elder just brought him...

~~~~~~Jian Feng~~~~~~

Pity I can't see what's happening in that Branch Sect, but I know it was worth it, and it was exciting role-playing like some hitman or Assasin.

Sensing that path is clear I walked back into the streets already changed my clothes, and was ready to leave this city behind.

Arriving at Profound Palace there was a lot of movement there, everyone was talking in hushed voices.

It seems everyone already knows what's going on...

"Junior Brother did you heard about it?" 'Lan Xuerou' rushed to my side.

"hear what?" acting clueless there.

"the Xiao Sect and Heavenly Burning Clan are preparing to go to war!" She said with worry written all over face.

'oh, she is such a gentle soul' Ying'er said with 'cute' voice, she was making fun out of Princess...

"really? how did this happen?" I asked with 'interest'.

"well... it's really weird..." Cang Yue said while she had a confused face.

"rumours going around here in Palace said that Heavenly Burning clan robbed Xiao Sect, but then a Xiao Sect branch member attacked the Heavenly Burning clan, but Heavenly Burning clan, said that they didn't rob the Xiao Sect! it's very confusing! " The girl said with annoyance, as she couldn't understand what's going on anymore!

"well, who cares! let's go..." I brushed it aside, acting that it has nothing to do with me, seeing that Princess nodded at me.

'Correct! who cares! this place is beneath us!' I rolled my eyes, his 'Goddess' has her moments...

"Junior Brother what are your means of transportation?" I raised my eyebrow at her question, and then looked at my legs for a second.

"well obviously I am a little bit away from Sky Profound, so I am walking like the rest of common people..." she shook her head in amusement since I apparently didn't understand her question.

"What I mean is do you have contracted beast? more specifically, a flying mount?" I raised my eyebrow again for a second, wait! I did read about this somewhere, At that time I obviously had more important things to do then raise my own Pigeot!

"no, I don't Senior Sister, I may have heard about it, but I had more pressing matters to do at that time," I said honestly.

'Like making terrifying poison which makes cultivators into prisoners of their own bodies...'

Ying'er said in one breath.

'exactly!' I nodded internally at her.

"that's good! that means I can teach you something!" I rolled my eyes at her enthusiasm.

"sure thing, oh great master! " I did an exaggerated bow. playing along she did a 'humph', but it was not at Ying'er level she is natural at that.

"well then the first thing you have to make sure animal is willing to accept the contract, so you can't just beat it up and force a contract upon it." she raised her finger as she was telling me that

"that's why a lot of sects or merchant clans are raising their own mounts from a very early age, some even keeping whole herds of these Profound beasts, from birds to four-legged ones, it depends on the prosperity of Clan of course!" She showed her a tattoo on her hand it was a white eagle-like bird

"This is my one!" her tattoo glowed for a second, and in a flash, a white, around 10 metres long eagle appeared next to her.

"it a White Snow Eagle, A true Profound beast! my family are raising them for a long time" She said proudly.

A fitting bird for a Princess...

"Not bad, it fits you... shall we go then?" she nodded, and bird sensing our intent lowered himself a little bit.

"thank you, Little White." She softly said as she got on birds back.

I followed after, the bird spread its wind, and went up into the air with few flaps of its wings.

"So how does this contract is established?" Hearing my question Princess turned back, she blushed a little bit as the distance was quite small between us,

'Humph! that girl! that's why she introduced this means of transportation!' I chuckled internally hearing 'Golden goddess' comments.

"it very simple process all you need is a little bit of your blood, which has to be put between eyes of animal..."

"that it?" I asked in disbelieve

"yes" she seriously nodded

"that's pretty easy... I was thinking there is a ritual or some special formation needed" I said with a shrug.

"nothing of that sort" she smiled hearing method mentioned.

"it's good then, maybe I shall raise one of those Fierce Storm Hawk or Zephyr Bird..." thinking loudly for a second.

"it will take a lot of time, as they are hard to tame," Princess said from experience.

"In a normal way, I suppose it's true..." I agreed with her, as she is an expert in this, I have no clue in animal husbandry, my greatest achievement was raising a dog in my last life.

For the next few hours we were flying in silence from time to time a few words or sentence we're exchanged.

But soon enough we flew into a familiar forest

"This is the Thousand beasts mountain range..." I said to her.

"yes, we have to fly through here..." Princess said with a nod.

"hmm..." I looked at her for a second, then at the forest, then back at her, looking at her from top to bottom.

She was looking at me with confusion

"Junior Brother?" she said those words with dread as she saw my ever-growing smirk.

"how long we have till the tournament?" She gulped down, there was a little bit of panic in her eyes, can she sense my intention? interesting...

"around 18 months..." She said slowly.

"right... and what was highest cultivation level recorded in there?" to my question she thought for a moment

"I believe low Earth Profound?" she said after thinking.

"as you know with so much time I could be Sky Profound easily, If I put my mind to it, but it will be unfair for other 'hard' working cultivators..." I continued didn't allow her to speak.

"so for a..." I did a little bit of math in my head " year, we will stay here where I will train you to be at a respectable level of cultivation for a Princess of an Empire." she gulped hearing that.

"so rejoice, Cang Yue, I shall be your Master for a year!" There was some panic and fear in her expression, since at event day I talked about my hunts and my complete disregard to Cultivation levels...

"Do I have a say in this?" I shrugged my shoulders.

"yes, in what I am going to teach you..." I said back to her.

"it's not like I am forcing you to join a Sect," I said in distaste, remembering something from past.

"Fine then, oh great Master Jian Feng!" She got back at me there...

"Good, good Disciple! your first job will a thousand push-ups, ten thousand sit up, and a ŀȧp around Thousand Beast mountainside, as a warm-up..."I said while 'stroking my beard' and in grandfatherly voice.

" you joking right!?!" She obviously didn't understand a joke...

"not really, the push-ups will be there, and sit-ups but running around mountainside? that's too early... Maybe once you are at Spirit Profound realm..." I continued building on that misunderstanding.
