65 New Member, and New Journey (1/2)

”Yosh, we are inside Star God Realm now, Jasmine. Can you know where is your little sister?” After they stealthily entered border domain of Star God Realm, Rafi quickly went to the center of Star God Realm, as he still kept many layers of space-time around him to mask his presence, making him one with space. Although, even with those layers of space-time, he couldn't fully hide his aura from those stronger Divine Sovereign and Divine Master profound cultivators. Thus Claire's help became a finishing touch that allowed him to mask himself from any detection. Due to that, he could enter Star God Realm seamlessly, without alarming their barrier or their guards.

”Xīng Wǔ may be in my Heavenly Slaughter Star God Palace, waiting for me all these times. Or, if what you say is true..., then she may also be in her Heavenly Wolf Star God Palace... she must be in one of those places.” Jasmine replied with hint of happiness, though she also sounded sad as she remembered her dead brother, the previous Heavenly Wolf Star God.

”You know, it is not like she is in the wrong for inheriting Heavenly Wolf Star God's power...sigh,... let's just find her then. Whether she is there or not, we will find her first, so you two could have a talk about it. Besides, you should believe more in Xīng Wǔ, she will not be easily controlled by that hatred power. I believe she could control that power properly.”

”...you don't know, that that power is an agglomeration of hatred itself. Hatred to others, hatred to the world, and...hatred to oneself.”

”Then you better make sure that she won't lose herself in that kind of power. You are her only 'family' aren't you, Jasmine.”

”...you too...”

”What are you murmuring about??”

”...”

A silence thus ensued among them as some times then passed after Rafi started to go to center of Star God Realm. When he arrived near the center, he could already see many gigantic planets and other celestial bodies in the distance. That scene looked grand and majestic as it was the residence of those Star Gods, and center of their ruling Realm.

Arriving there, after bypassing many Star Guards and several other Star Gods, Rafi started to look for Xīng Wǔ in Jasmine's Star God Palace, though she was not there at that time. Even when he looked for herself in Heavenly Wolf Star God Palace, Xīng Wǔ still couldn't be found. Sighing lightly to himself, Rafi decided to go to where Jasmine's mother and brother were buried as he wanted to pick their remains for resurrecting them, before resuming to look for Xīng Wǔ later on.

”It is a bit of pity we still can't find your little sister, Jasmine. Maybe she is still with other Star Gods now. And such, I will be going to pick up their remains first, Jasmine. We will find Xīng Wǔ after I am done with that.”

”...fine...Xīng Wǔ, where are you...?” Jasmine replied disinterestedly as she murmured to herself when she saw Rafi went to her mother's and brother's grave.

”Hmm, that little girl? Isn't that Xīng Wǔ?!” Rafi slightly exclaimed after he saw a black-haired little girl was standing alone in front of Jasmine's brother's and mother's grave.

”It is true!” Jasmine's excited voice could be heard inside his mind after she ascertained that that little girl really was her little sister, Xīng Wǔ.

Meanwhile, as Rafi saw Xīng Wǔ from behind her, he could see that although she was still a child, but her delicate body was exuding a strong feeling of sadness and hatred that should not exist in someone of her age. While she also possessed power that countless people dreamed to obtain, though she already had it even at her tender age of only thirteen.

”Who is sneaking there?!” Xīng Wǔ hurriedly turned behind her as her intuition suddenly told her that there was someone behind her. Although she couldn't see that person then, but it only increased her vigilance, as someone that could hid his/her aura from her was at least much stronger than her. Although her power still hadn't completely awakened, but her current cultivation was still at low-level Divine Master Realm, making her the weakest of Star Gods at that moment. Thus, someone who was much stronger than her might be someone who was at Divine Extinction Realm, as someone in Divine Master Realm won't be able to actually hide from her perception.

”You have a good intuition, little girl.” Rafi then revealed himself in front of Xīng Wǔ, though he still kept hiding his cultivation base.

”What do you want with me?! Sneaking around and meeting me in this deserted place?!” Xīng Wǔ looked at him with increasing wariness as she readied herself for a battle, in case that mysterious man in front of her made a move on her. Although she knew that she might not able to defeat the mysterious man, but she could at least create a disturbance large enough so that other Star Gods would be alerted.

”Hoho, a little kid like you should not be that aggressive. Actually, I am here to...”

”...” Xīng Wǔ looked tensed as she slightly gulped in wanting to know his true purpose.

”To kidnap you of course! A cute kid like you should fetch a nice ransom, Mwahahaha!”

”!!!” Xīng Wǔ was tensed as her mind churned furiously when she heard his word. 'Is this the famed pervert lolicon that big brother Xisu and big sister Xīng Tóng used to tell me?! Indeed, that eyes he uses to see me is... Ugh, and here I still can't detect his true cultivation base. Why is such a strong Senior Master actually a pervert?! Wuu, what will happen to me later??!', Xīng Wǔ thought to herself as she revolved her cultivation to its peak, ready for her last violent struggle.

”What are you saying to my little sister, you big idiot lecher!!” Jasmine said furiously as she suddenly appeared beside Rafi, and punched his stomach heavily, leaving him groaning in a fake pain. Though, after sending an intimate punch to Rafi, Jasmine quickly turned to Xīng Wǔ as she really missed her all these times.

While Xīng Wǔ only looked at the scene happeing in front of with a great shock, as her sister that was thought to be long dead actually appeared again in front of her. Although it was strange that her sister's cultivation seemed to drop, unlike her previous cultivation level, but her aura was unmistakably her sister that she long knew, Xīng Tóng.

”Is that really you, Big Sister Xīng Tóng...??” Xīng Wǔ asked with a tiny, trembling voice as she saw that Jasmine was looking gently at her, softly patting her head like she used to be before.

”It is really me, Xīng Wǔ. Although, many things happened which causing my current situation. After I was poisoned by Absolute God Slaying Poison back then,...” Jasmine started telling Xīng Wǔ about her experiences in these times, while leaving Rafi looked dumbfoundedly at Jasmine's rarely shown gentle side.

As he looked at that pair of sister were having their own little world in a reunion, he noiselessly started excavating the remains of Jasmine's mother and brother, so as to not disturbing their heartwarming sister's reunion. Though, while he was done excavating the remains, their little talk was still ongoing, as then a bright idea hit him. Leaving a clone of himself there, his original body stealthily scoured the Star God's Palaces as he visited each of their treasuries for a thorough inspection.

”En. Let's go, Rafi. Our matters are finished here. Hmm, this is only your clone isn't it?!” Jasmine said calmly while turning to Rafi, as she was still patting Xīng Wǔ's head gently. Though, when she recognized that he was only a clone, she immediately knew Rafi was up to a mischief, as she panicked slightly.

”Hey, hey, what is your original body doing now?!”

”Calm down, Jasmine. It is not like you don't know me at all. You know, that my original body will be safe in the end.” Rafi's clone said lightly when he saw her vexed expression.

”I know that. What I am worried is whether he will leave anything behind in the treasuries?! It will be bad if they know that someone infiltrate Star God Realm, and steal their treasures!”

”Ah, just leave it to my original body's thorough care. I believe he will surely empty their treasuries.” Rafi's clone smiled radiantly, replying her camly, much to her vexation.

”Um, Big Sister, are you going to go again? Are you leaving Xīng Wǔ alone again??” Xīng Wǔ asked weakly as she heard her previous words.
