Chapter 223: Elder Brother (Kai's Past Arc 4)

Kai's eyes were wide open in terror as he saw the blood and gore in front of him. He clenched his stomach as he turned right and puked.

"Sorry, you had to see that. It wasn't my cleanest kill." He suddenly heard a voice behind him as he turned around to see that everything had vanished.

He instead looked at a young man with silky golden hair and deep red eyes. He was wearing pure black skin-tight clothes and had a sword strapped to his belt.

"What's your name kid?" The young man asked as Kai shook his head to broke his daze.

"My name is Kai." He replied as the young man nodded and extended a hand forward as Kai stared at it suspiciously. 

"Why are you looking at me like that? I just want to help you." The man asked as Kai raised his eyebrows.

"Ten people just tried to kidnap me under the pretense of helping me and you are wondering why I am suspicious of you?" Kai asked while raising his eyebrows.

"Are you really a kid or someone trying to fool people?" The young man asked while furrowed his eyebrows as Kai rolled his eyes.

"You think that kids can't be smart?" Kai asked in an annoyed tone as the young man blinked before laughing.

"You are a unique kid. Wanna come with me and live with a full stomach? I know that you are in the imperial spirit realm and still require food in a few years time. I will make a Divine oath with you if you want." The man replied as Kai's eyes narrowed.

"What do I have to do in return?" He asked as the man smiled and shook his head.

"Nothing much. You just have to regulate the peace here. That's all." He replied as Kai thought about it.

He could deny the offer and try to survive on his own but that might backstab him. And since he was getting a divine as an insurance, it was a win-win situation.

"Fine, I will create an oath with you. But you will have to wait till I receive Divine spirit realm." He replied as the young man raised his eyebrow.

"Are you planning to eat for free till you grow strong enough? That might take years to happen." The man replied as Kai smiled.

"Trust me it won't." He replied as the young man sighed and raised his hand.

Kai did the same as the two of them but one of their fingers of their other hand and raised their fingers above their joint hand.

From Kai's hand, a drop of golden blood dripped down on their hands whereas a drop of blue blood dripped from the man's finger.

Both of them looked at each other simultaneously and raised their eyebrows.

"You are a half-beast?" Kai asked as the man nodded.

"And you are a Nephilim huh." The man replied as Kai slowly nodded despite not knowing whether he was a Nephilim or not.

Angels had golden blood in their bodies and Nephilim were the same. If he wasn't a Nephilim, the only other reasonable explosion was that he was an immortal which was impossible.

"If you are a half-beast, where is your tail?" Kai curiously asked as the man smiled mysteriously.

"It's hidden beneath my clothes. I will show it to you later. For now, let's get you some food and give you space to cultivate in seclusion." The man replied as he grabbed Kai's hand and jumped into the shadows.

They then suddenly appeared inside a wooden room with dimly lit ceiling lamps. Kai's eyes widened as he looked at the man in disbelief.

"How did you do that?" His eyes sparkled as he asked the question and the man chuckled.

"It's been quite a while since I heard someone asking me that question. I can manipulate shadows and jump from one place to another with their help. It's something that only I can do since I have never met another person like me." The young man replied as Kai nodded and the two of them started walking.

It looked as though they were underground as the young man led him through a series of tunnels. He saw many young people here who barely looked twenty years old and all of them greeted the young man in front of Kai.

Not a single one of them spared a second glance towards Kai and neither did they question the man about him.

"So here we are, eat the food on that table and you can cultivate here for at least a century without any disturbance." The man said as he appeared around a room whose door was lying open.

Kai peered inside and saw a table with three different types of food and a bed. The ceiling had a single lamp hanging from it as Kai strode inside and turned to glance at the man one last time.

"See you after a long time." He said and closed his door. The man sighed at the closed door as he took out a sign and pasted sit on the door.

The sign read 'In Secluded Cultivation'. The man then walked away as decades passed. The next time the door opened, Kai had turned into a handsome grown man.

His hair had grown long enough to fell to his eyelashes while his body had matured. He had grown taller and his face had developed from cute into handsome.

"I wonder how many years have passed?" He asked himself as he moved out of the room and tried to find the man he met earlier. 

He had broken through to the 3rd stage of the Divine spirit realm and was now wondering whether he could keep the streets safe.

"Wow, you really broke through so quickly and you are even at the 3rd stage. You are a monster you know." Kai suddenly heard as he turned around to see the man smiling at him.

He hadn't changed one big and still looked the same but one new thing was the tail that was behind him.

"I never got to know your name." Kai said with a smile as the man nodded and walked forward.

"My name is Sun Wukong." The man replied before the two people walked away.
