Chapter 18 - I am not Masochist!

Jean turned visible and entered in the Reflection Gorge, his footsteps alerted Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi who were inside, and the former cried out in surprise.

Xiao Lie: Che'er!!

Xiao Lingxi: Ah!

The silhouette of Xiao Lingxi soon appeared beside Xiao Che, when she saw him, she covered her lips with her fingers and started to cry.

Xiao Lingxi: Little Che!

After yelling that, she threw herself on his ċhėst, and using his clothes to clean her eyes, making Jean slightly disgusted.

Xiao Lie: Che'er… How… How are you here? Did the Xiao Clan allow you to return?

Jean: Shhhh… They don't know anything.

Xiao Lie: …

Jean: From what I am seeing, you two are alright even when you are here…

Soon, Xiao Lingxi stopped crying while Xiao Lie comfortably laughed.

Xiao Lie: Be at ease. The Frozen Cloud Asgard's Chu fairy hinted that she would protect us to the Xiao Sect before she had departed. With the backing of this powerful force, how could they dare to injure me or Xi'er?

After the Xiao Sect members leave, they would even more not dare to; after all, I do have the reputation of being Floating Cloud City's number one expert here, heh heh.

Jean: Hmm.

Xiao Lie: Xia Qingyue is a good wife; to the very end, she did not tear up the marriage certificate.

Jean: Heh, I noticed it… Now let's go on the serious part…

Xiao Lie: You want to ask who your biological parents were, right?

Jean: Yes. I know that my surname is Yun, nothing else.

Xiao Lie: Huh? How did you know?

Jean just showed them his watch and said.

Jean: This thing gave me the information, it may be a soul bound item.

Xiao Lie nodded seriously and started to talk while Xiao Lingxi started at him.

Xiao Lie: Unfortunately, I don't have many good information, only that your real surname is Yun, and your father was a genius that would make Xiao Ying's talent look like a joke. Then Xiao Ying got married and had a child… and two months after the child was born, he saw your father again together with your mother.

… But at that time, both your father and mother were completely drenched in blood, and in their hands was you, who was also drenched in blood. You were only about two months old as well at that time, unconscious in your mother's embrace.

When Xiao Ying stopped them and brought them to a secret location. Their bodies were entirely covered with wounds, and all their profound strength had been depleted.…

They stayed only for awhile before insisting on leaving, because the people chasing after their lives were too powerful, so powerful that even the entire Floating Cloud City could not possibly contend against. If they stayed, they will only implicate Xiao Ying with a burden.

Jean: ...Assassination.

Xiao Lingxi: *Gasp*

Xiao Lie: Exactly. Unfortunately, Xiao Ying died in the ȧssassination because the people forced him to reveal your parents location, but Xiao Ying kept silent, meaning that your parents could possibly still be alive!

Jean's eyes narrowed as his heart started to stir and smiled.

Jean: *Sigh* You'll make me cry now, grandfather…

Xiao Lie: Heh heh. Don't be such a baby, about the reason of the ȧssassination. It was because your parents possessed a "Heavenly Profound Treasure", I don't know what it is, but it must never be said to outsiders.

Xiao Lie: You are right, if you were to be discovered, it would become even more troublesome.

Xiao Lingxi: Ah? You… You're leaving?

She quickly raised her head and grabbed him tightly with both her hands, Jean smiled and ċȧrėssed her head.

Jean: Remember about the picture, I will always remember you. However, remember that as soon as I am strong, I will turn back here, ok?

Xiao Lingxi: Huh?

Jean: Can you wait at least 3 years before I turn back?

Xiao Lingxi: 3… Years…? *Sniff* Yes! I can wait for you!

Jean smirked and turned towards Xiao Lie.

Xiao Lie: Good!

He slowly nodded as his voice trembled and tears appeared in both of his eyes, then he took something from his pocket and handed it to him, the thing was a wooden tablet with a hanging white tassel.

Xiao Lie: Che'er, the Xiao Clan had expelled you and there's no place for you in Floating Cloud City. Your profound veins have been disabled and you have never step out of Floating Cloud City in your entire life. Although I'm extremely worried… The look in your eyes allows me feel at ease and relieved.

If you don't have a set destination to go to, then take this tablet and go to a City called "New Moon", and ask around for a person called Sikong Han. Sikong Han came to Floating Cloud City a few years ago and due to a certain situation, he became indebted to me, and thus gave me this tablet.

Once you find him in New Moon City, pass this tablet to him for a look and tell him that you are my grandson. Perhaps he may arrange a place for you to stay.

Jean: Hmm. Now I will go to… Uncle… Xiao.

Xiao Lie: En.

Jean turned around to leave, but Xiao Lingxi was still glued to him.

Jean: Hey girl, stop hugging my leg. Hey? Hey!?

Xiao Lie: Hahahaha. Xi'er, let him go. He said that he will return in at least 3 years.

Xiao Lingxi: ...Alright… Little Che, promise me that you won't be in any danger, ok?

Jean: Yeah, yeah… I can't feel my leg anymore!

Then Xiao Lingxi let go of his leg and he shook it a bit before he was able to feel it again, he turned around and waved at the two of them before heading to the cemetery.

When he reached the grave of Xiao Ying, he kowtowed and raised his head.

Jean: Uncle Xiao, you made an extremely big favor for my Yun family. I will never forget it. If the day comes when I find out that my parents are still alive, I will try my best to find them and your real son. Not only that, but I will take revenge for you and for grandfather!

From now on, I'm not Xiao Che anymore… Until I find my parents, I am considered dead… So I will not take the surname Yun yet… Now, my name is Jean Dennell, a ghost that came from nowhere.

After saying that, his watch vibrated and looked at it.

[00:00]

[Σ: "Sigma"]

He used the information to search what "Sigma" was and found this.

"Sigma: Ability: You can regenerate any part of your body and injury from using the Profound Energy around you, making you virtually undying, it can be countered if you were sealed in a place without any single drop of Profound Energy, even if such place is almost non-existent.

Effects: If a part of your body is sealed, you can sever it and regenerate a new one, making seals, poisons(at early stages), infections useless."

Jean's eyes widened like saucers when he read the description… Basically, unless I am really dead and there isn't profound energy, I can't die? This…. This is fantastic!

Wait…

Jean: Can I… Regenerate my Profound Vein?!

He gritted his teeth and used his dagger to slice his abdomen, he almost screamed, but his willpower was strong enough to keep his mouth shut, after that, he forcefully put his hand inside his abdomen, while his body kept twitching, and when he reached the defected Profound Vein…

*Riip*

*Achievement: "Masochist": What the fuċk is wrong with you!?*

*Reward: 33'000'000 volt Taser (0.2 Amps) (5 shots).* [AN: if you think it's too high or too low, tell me the volts needed to kill a normal person with that amp]

Jean: Ghh… ffffffuuu… ck…

He took out his disabled Profound Vein with force, seeing something that looked like a distorted small tree in his hand, there were still some branches of profound veins in his body, but they would repair themselves after he recreated his Profound Vein.

He used Sigma, and immediately a fixed Profound Vein came in his body, extending everywhere and replacing the branches of the disabled Profound Veins. Right now he was currently at the 0th Elementary Profound Realm, but it was worth it, if it means cultivating once again…

He looked down in the ground and picked up the Taser, it looked like a normal Taser, if it wasn't for that "33'000'000" volts that could kill someone at the early stage of the Spirit Profound Realm.

He put it back on the Sky Poison Pearl and then he used his Sky Poison Pearl to open all of his Profound Entrances, creating his own Heavenly God's Spiritual Veins.

*Achievement: Boost: Congratulations kid, now you are one of the few people in the universe to have this treasure!*

*Reward: Enchanted Flash Grenade (Emperor Profound Realm).*

He put the Flash Grenade on his Sky Poison Pearl and left the Floating Cloud City, heading towards the Cyan Forest Town at west first, he would need 2 or 3 days before reaching that place.
