Opening my eyes and looking up, I can confirm that I really did it. That guy Yun Che truly was a mental case. Poisoning and killing millions. What an ass. Yes, a few bastards killed off your teacher and father figure. That does not mean that you kill off the entire city of each of those bastards. No wonder so many people chased him down. it was not all just for greed. Most of them truly wanted to murder his ass because he killed off not just their entire family but also pretty much everyone that they knew.
“Xiao Che” I heard a soft voice call out to me. Then a hand was placed on my forehead. “Your fever has gone down. You look perfectly alright. It’s a good thing today is your gob day. Let me go get your grandfather and Doctor Situ. Ciao Lingxi or better know as little aunt ran off before I could say anything.
I checked my left hand it confirmed that the Sky Poison Pearl was on my left hand. This was my main reason for coming here. On my neck, rested the Mirror of Samsara. This didn’t need at the moment and so I placed it into my farm.
The door then opened and in came Xiao Lingxi, Xiao Lie and the butler, doctor Situ. “Oh, Che'er, you have finally woken up.” My step grandfather told me before sitting at my bedside. It’s good that you have woken up and you do not look ill anymore but let Doctor Situ examine you. Today is your wedding day and we cannot have the slightest error. Doctor Situ, please go ahead.” He then got up and Doctor Situ changed places with him. Taking my pulse. Elder Xiao you do not need to worry, your grandson’s physical condition is excellent. He has no major ailments or even the slightest cold. Perhaps your grandson fainted because he was so nervous and excited that his blood rushed to his head. After all your grandson is marrying Xia Clan’s daughter, the number one beauty in Floating Cloud City. Ho-ho-ho.”
After conformation from the good doctor, he was invited to the wedding and exited. Before all of the bullshit, its time to mess with cannon. “Grand father, little aunt. Sit down. there’s not much time until the wedding and so I need to tell you some things quickly.” This statement changed the mood in the room completely with how serious I was.
Taking the Mirror of Samsara back out I showed the two. “This here is a treasure called the Mirror of Samsara. It lets someone who has died reincarnate into their past self. That is to say. I died and came back in time to today.” Even thou the two looked shocked I continued. “In my past life, the wedding happened and after I marry Xia Qingyue, she leaves for Frozen Cloud Asgard. She is actually a secret student and they do not allow their members to marry.”
It looked like Xiao Lie was about to ask me something and so I placed my hand up for him to stop. “Time is short, let me finish. We will have time to go into details later. Tomorrow, Xiao Yulong will expose that I am not the son of Xiao Ying. I will then be driven out of the clan. The day after, guest from the Xiao Sect will arrive. Xiao Kuangyun, the young masters of the Xiao Sect takes a fancy to Lingxi and takes her to be his plaything. Grandfather, you try to fight back but was defeated and crippled. The clan sold off Lingxi and you were crippled and imprisoned in the back of the mountains. It was too late and everything was already finished when I heard of this. It took me three years to find you and at that time there was nothing left but for revenge.”
My story was all too plausible and so it looks like they believed me. Yes, I made the whole thing much worst then what actually happened but not by much. “Now. Pack up. I have a safe place we can leave to. No one will find us. Please grandfather, little aunt. Trust in me so that we can avoid this disaster.” I then bowed my head. Yun Che’s feelings were now my feelings. I wanted to save these two no matter what. I am not above knocking them out and throwing them into the farm.
It’s a good thing my grandfather agreed and so we went back to getting ready for the wedding while Lingxi will secretly pack with the storage ring that I slipped her. Soon, I was dressed in red and on horseback, ready to retrieve the bride.
When we arrived at the Xia manor, Xia Hongyi was there to greet us. Che'er, starting today, I will give Xia Qingyue to you. Although you are not a big hero, you are Xiao Ying’s son so I can have a peace of mind when I give you my daughter. Your father Xiao Ying was an amazing man. Becoming his sworn brother is something I would never regret in this lifetime for he was a passionate and righteous man. You are Xiao Ying’s son. Even though your profound veins are damaged, I do not believe that you will stay an ordinary person in the future.” Xia Hongyi was not a bad man and he has always treated me well and so I have him a bit of a hint about my own prowess.
“Father in law, Cultivating with Profound energy isn’t the only way to cultivate.” I have him a sly smile and pointed down. I was floating a few inches off the ground and had only been pretending to walk. I quickly landed so that no one else could see. “Good.” Xia Hongyi then patted my back. “I knew that Xiao Ying’s son would not be an ordinary child. I will wait for the day this dragon surfaces. Alright now, Qingyue is waiting for you. Go on.”
Xia Qingyue was accompanied by two bridesmaids. It was tradition for the groom to escort the bride to the carriage and so I went to accompany Qingyue. We walked the short distance to the carriage and as she was trying to get onboard, I gave her my hand as support. As our hands touched, she sent a wave of frost into me through her fingertips. What a bitch. I was not hurt but I have no memory of ever wronging this women and she even had the guts to attack me.
Ignoring her actions for the moment. I hopped back on my horse to go back and complete the ceremony. Things went pretty smooth. We bowed to heaven and earth, then to each other and finished with bowing to my grandfather. We were then escorted to the wedding chambers.
“Evil wife.” I told Qingyue. “Never have I wronged you and yet you even attached me. Even this wedding. I only married you because of the arrangement. Grandfather had been looking forward to this for years and I did not want to let him down. I know that you look down on me because of my crippled veins.” I was then interrupted by Qingyue. ”I have never looked down on you.”
That just make me laugh. “You seriously believe that? Of course you look down on me. Why did you attack me? Because you are so arrogant that you believe that I was beneath you and that you were some kind of prize that I could never have. You thought you were doing me a favor by marrying me. Never once did you consider that I if not for grandfather, I would never even marry you.” I walked over and took off her bead veil.
“Look me in the eyes and tell me that my words were not true.” Qingyue was stubborn but she looked away after a minute. There was a knock from the door. Grandpa Hong had come to get me for the toast. I told him that I was coming before I whispered to Qingyue “I’ll tell you where your mother is when I get back.”
I didn’t look at her reaction and just headed out to follow Grandpa Hong. Downing my first cup, I realized that this is the first time I’m eating or drinking after my reincarnation. Like what the hell. I’m a foodie and I haven’t don’t any eating. Things are going to change from now on. Is this because of all the cultivation or because of all the world hopping. I was not sure but I knew that from now on, I was going to start eating more. The original Yun Che made a oath to Xiao Ying but me? I made a oath to the food gods to eat more.

After all of the insults and fake congratulations, I made my way back to the bridal chambers. I had made sure to use my earth control to make people trip and stub some toes. Qingyue was there sitting on the bed. As soon as I entered, she ran to me and tried to grab me. To me she was as slow as an ant. I was easily able to side step her and then pick her up in a bridal carry and take her to the bed.
That all happened so fast for her that she didn’t even realize when we both made it on the bed. Her struggles were in vain and even her profound arts were useless. After she realized that I was not going to force her she stopped struggling and asked me. “What you said. Is it true? Tell me. Where is my mother.”
“Alright. First, its story time. If I don’t start here then there’s no way that you will even listen to my words let alone trust them. This is not my first life. This is actually the second time I married you. I died and used and artifact to send my soul back into my younger body.” The skeptical look in her eyes told me that she didn’t trust anything I said.
Exacerbated, I told her “Fine.” I opened a portal to the farm next to the bed. Picked her back up in a bridal carry and took her into the master bedroom. I walked over to the bed and laid her down. she instantly sat up but that didn’t matter. I then started to float to show her that yes, I did have some level of power. She should know by know because of how I overpowered her but I guess it hadn’t sunk in.
“Sky profound realm.” Was all she could whisper. Floating over to her I gave her a chop on the top of her head. “Nope. I am only in the first level of elementary. This is not profound energy. This is actually soul force.” I told her slowly in a way you would to someone who is slow. She was now covering her head where I chopped her but as I got closer, she tried to swat me.
Dodging her strike I continued. “My currently level in soul force cultivation is called Legendary Rank. I am actually at the peek. If I was to compare it to profound realms I would say that its peek Emperor or even low level Tyrant. Watching the stone face of Qingyue go bug-eyed made me feel great.
“Lets get back to the story. We have a time table to keep after all.” I knew that she didn’t know what I was referring to but that didn’t matter. “We married and then you left the next day. It was exposed that I was not the son of Xiao Ying and so I was chased out of the clan. Nearly one year and eight months goes by before we meet up again at the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament. I win the tournament of course but you were the runner up.”
Qingyue looked to be absorbing all of this in so I continued. “The ten thousand year calamity happened and Frozen Cloud Asgard was lost. You should ask your master more about that by the way. I have a solution that can help them evade this but that depends on you and how Frozen Cloud decides to treat me. Frozen Cloud was no more, that includes you too by the way.” I could see her shutter but I keep going.
“I kept training, stuff happens and then I ascended to the realm of the gods eight and a haft years from now. Its there that I learn of your mother. She is in the Moon God Realm.” This was the news that Qingyue wanted to year and so I looked her in the eyes and went into serious mode. “Your mothers real name is Yue Wugou. She was engaged to the moon good Yue Wuya and loved him deeply. A jealous woman attached and wounded her. She ended up escaping to the Blue Pole Star and your father found her. She had lost all of her memories. Your father nurse her back to health and so when he forced himself on her, she did not resist. You were the product of that copulation. The rice was already cooked and so she married your father. Soon after, Yuanba was born.” This news struck her deeply and her face had gone ghostly.
Never the less, I carried on. “Wugou’s memories returned and she was devastated at what she had done. She hated your father for taking advantage of her and wanted to kill him but she did not want to orphan the two of you. Yue Wugou then decided that she will het your father live as thanks for saving her life and left the two of you with him. She was too ashamed to bring you back to the Moon God Realm. I learned the story right from her lips so don’t go thinking I made it all up. She told me this herself after I found out who she was and introduced myself to her has her son-in-law.”
Yes. More then two thirds of my story was bullshit but it was believable bullshit. “Qingyue, you once told me that your dream was to reunite your family but from the way I see it, its you that is breaking up your family. You have been pushing away both your father and your brother. I have seen the effort they out into trying to get closer to you but that frozen art you practice is not helping. It’s a flawed art in the first place and you shouldn’t cultivate it. Anyways. I will be leaving. You should call your master who is close by and leave for Frozen Cloud Asgard. Tell the Master of Frozen Cloud that I have a solution for the ten thousand year calamity. Seek me out of you believe my story. Take care Wife. In this Life and the last, you are my wife.”
With that I left to go pickup my grandfather and Lingxi. Haft way back the Sky Poison Pearl started to glow in a certain direction. I knew this was the Star Concealing Grass but I wanted to pickup Lingxi and my grandfather first. When I got back the two were already fully packed. A special ring is super convenient for moving. I opened a portal to one of the spare bedrooms and shuffled the two in. “Sorry Grandfather, Lingxi. I need to pickup your daughter-in-law first and then we will be on our way.”
It was not far into the back of the mountains when I ran into the two blades of star concealing grass. There’s no need to waste it and so I sucked it into the farm. It wont be long until I have an unlimited supply like every other plant. Just a little to my left I spotted her. There she laid in a pool of her own blood while a black substance killed of everything around her. Without delay, I opened a portal under her and sucked her into the farm. I don’t want to get near that poison and so I opened another portal and entered in next to her.
Taking out one a magic peach which is a special item provided by the farm, I cut it up with one a knife I had yet to enchant and started to feed the pieces to Xing Tong, otherwise known as Jasmine. The magic peace is basically a senzu bean without the energy restoration. Unlike Yun Che, I was able to get to her body intime and the farm automatically detoxes anything that enters it. The God slaying poison was no exception. Yay farm.
Since Jasmine did not lose her body, she should age normally this time around and not stay 12 years old. Now that Jasmine does not need the Purple Veined Devine Crystals, I plan to get it for myself. There’s an ability that the farm gives me that I had been ignoring. Around the user, the farm allows for the user to monitor fifteen thousand meters which is a bit over nine miles around the user. Using this, I plan to feel for the crystals with my crystal control.
Four hours. That’s how long it took me to find those damn crystals. Even thought I knew that it was close by to Floating Cloud, it still took me a while. Its not like the novel had mas or even gave directions. Still. I found those bastards. I’m not sure if it will do me any good but you know what the funny thing is? I can control them to grow. Ku-Ku-Ku-Ku. Orochimaru’s laugh for the win.
They look to be extremely compacted profound energy. Its compressed so much that it turns into a solid. We may be able to use this as an energy source in the future. My farm has an infinite sully of profound energy. Perhaps a formation to father this stuff and force it to grow can be made. We have some now as a seed to start the process.
Time to bite the bullet and make up some more plausible bullshit. Opening a portal into the farm, I step in. Just to be hit by a little aunt bullet. I thought all three of them would be together but it looks like Jasmine is still out. It took some head pats, hugs and a ton of promises for Lingxi to let me go and get to bed. It was already late when I started my search but now its pass midnight. The people here live by the sun schedule and so eight o’clock is already bedtime.
As I promised myself. I need to start cooking. Its time for a sandwich. What is that? There’s no bread? There’s no rice cooked? Instant noodles? Still a no? Spirit eggs with Spirit tomatoes it is. I’ve never tried cooking with spirit ingredients but what can go wrong? Nothing, that’s what. That shit was amazing. Easy over eggs with a side of roasted cherry tomatoes. Nothing has ever tasted better for me. the yoke was soft and creamy but still had the strong egg taste that we all love. The egg white was fluffy like it was fluffed separately from the yoke, even thought I didn’t. those tomatoes might as well have been grape jelly because they melted in my mouth as soon as they entered. If I was in an anime world, I would have had a foodgasm.
Its time to skip this joint. I survived the day without having to kill off any families to the ninth generation. I call that a win. I also want to share this food with the girls and It just now hit me. I’m married. Oh shit.
