Chapter 97 - Apotheosis (1/2)
After everything was done, Jean gave the girl a pill that was useful for her and left after he was explained that his courtyard wasn't his anymore since he was thought dead. So he just took this time to meditate in the Profound Gathering Tower since he didn't have anything to do except to wait for Cang Yue and Fen Juechen.
[The next day]
Jean was warned from Cang Yue about the situation of her and Fen Juechen. The emperor gave the ok for Cang Yue to travel with Jean, only if she turned back within 2 years, meanwhile Fen Juechen was rushing here as fast as possible, it seems that even his parents seemed alright with him.
Now Jean and Cang Yue were waiting for Fen Juechen at the entrance of the Profound Palace, they were talking to each other. ”Hey Jean, did you know that since you won the Ranking Tournament, now the Profound Palace is at the same level of the other 4 Major Sects?”
Jean rebuked with 3 words. ”You mean 3.”
”What?”
”What.”
Both of them stopped talking before they laughed, meanwhile a voice shouted. ”HEY!!! BROTHER JEAN!!!”
Jean and Cang Yue turned around, but there was no one… ”UP THERE!!”
Jean and Cang Yue then looked upwards and saw a profound beast flying in the sky, with Fen Juechen standing over it. He was waving at Jean and Cang Yue, who waved back.
The profound beast was revealed to be a Profound Fire Wyvern, which was slowly descending in the ground, and Fen Juechen hopped down. He walked towards Jean with a big smile on his face and tried to hug Jean. ”I really mis-Ugh…”
However Jean just placed an hand in front of Fen Juechen. ”No gay shit.”
Fen Juechen stopped and stepped back, before looking at Jean. ”I thought you were dead!”
”I don't care, I'm still alive.”
Jean and Cang Yue looked at each other, before gazing back at Fen Juechen. ”...What?” He asked with a raised eyebrow.”
”That 'Demon' isn't a Demon, and he is my biological grandfather.”
*Tic* *Tic* *Tic* *Tic* *Ping!*
”He's what?!” Fen Juechen shouted in surprise. Cang Yue nodded while Jean stared at Fen Juechen. ”Yeah, I was forced to destroy the seal myself since the other option was killing my grandfather.”
Fen Juechen stared at Jean, and ġrȯȧnėd. ”This is becoming a mess… Are you sure it's ok to tell it so carefreely?”
”Hell if I care, the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region will hunt for my head anyway.”
”Wha-”
Jean quickly interrupted him and said. ”We will talk about it later, have you taken everything you need for the journey?”
Then he showed the two of them a purple spatial ring. ”There is enough food for a month and also some other necessities and items that might be useful for me.”
”Same.”
”Me too.”
Both Cang Yue and Jean commented. Then Jean nodded and extended his right arm, taking out his watch from his sleeve, curiously, Fen Juechen and Cang Yue looked as Jean tapped the screen of the watch a few of times, before magically the watch emitted some blue lights that formed some sort of 3D map.
