Chapter 25 - A maid or a battle maid?

"…ugh" As the morning lights pour itself on Wang Lei's face, he opens his eyes. Feeling weight on his ċhėst, he looks down a finds himself stunned by the beauty of the woman that was laying on his side with her head resting on his ċhėst. Remembering everything that happened yesterday, he smiles. Kissing on her head, he slowly strokes her back.

Qingyue feeling his moment on her back slowly opens her eyes. She confusedly looks at him as her mind clears, remembering past day's events, a blush crept on her face.

"Good morning," Wang Lei says gently.

Qingyue who heard him comes to herself and hurriedly sits up. The sheet that was covering her body falls, revealing her perfect body in front of his eyes. She takes her clothes, wearing them, and rush out of his room, speedily.

Wang Lei could only shake his head and smile wryly. He lazily leaves the bed, stretching his body. looking out the window, he takes a deep breath and then starts to clean his room as it still had signs of yesterday's 'battle'. Done cleaning his room he takes a warm bath and starts to walk towards the garden where he usually does his breakfast.

Reaching the garden, he saw that everyone was already present and were waiting for him. But for some reason, Hongyi was glaring at him as if he has stolen his wife while Dongxue was smiling, which to him, didn't felt like a smile at all. He looking towards Qingyue, whose head was hung low and steam was coming out of it. He understood but his expression remains calm as he walks and sat on his seat.

"Goodmorning" Wang Lei said smiling as he starts his breakfast, bearing the glare from Hongyi.

"How was your night yesterday, Lei'er? Was it comfortable?" Dongxue asked, smiling that didn't reach her eyes. She passed an egg on his plate. While Qingyue who heard her question was having a hard time swallowing her food.

Thanking her, he calmly said, "It was the best! I was presented with the best dish, not shying away, I enjoyed it to fullest!"

Dongxue had her mouth twitching hearing her son's shameless answer, "You know, walls of this manor are quite thin!"

Wang Lei nodded, "I came to the realization, yesterday!"

Dongxue had veins showing on her forehead. While on the side, Hongyi had already broken his glass. Blood was coming from his hand but because of the healing factor of Immortality, it healed instantly.

Finishing his food, Wang Lei cleaned his face with a handkerchief. "Don't you have something to say?" Dongxue asked, bȧrėly controlling her emotions.

Nodding Wang Lei stood up, straight. His body was releasing natural elegance as, suddenly, he did 90 degrees' bow, "Miss and mister Xia! Your daughter and I are in love with each other! I, Jiang Wang Lei, want to marry your daughter! Please give us your blessings, thank you!"

Hongyi and Dongxue looked stunned by his sudden confession and looked towards Qingyue who had tears in her eyes. They saw her standing and stood beside Wang Lei, bowing towards them with him. They could only sigh. They knew that they were in love with each other and they had no problem with that. But they never thought that they would cross the line before marriage that's why they were kind of angry.

Dongxue stood up hand hugged both of them, Wang Lei was startled but didn't resist. "You two should have married before doing it! and also what's with this stiff Mr. and Mrs. Xia call us father and mother!"

Wang Lei who heard her, smiles. "Thank you, Mother!" Qingyue had tears of happiness in her eyes as she tightly hugs her mother.

Hongyi had a bitter smile on his face and could only sigh. He knew that he would have to marry her daughter someday but he still felt that it was way too sudden.

After they were done hugging, they all, again, sat on their chairs and started to chat with each other. While they were chatting they heard a loud noise from the outside that disturbed them.

"Get the Fu*k out here, Wang Lei! Today there can be only two of us leaving!"

Hearing the loud voice, there was a frown on Dongxue face. She stood and disappear from where she was standing. Others who saw this… continued their breakfast while Wang Lei was calmly drinking juice. They were all praying for whoever shouted to not make Dongxue angry or he can say goodbye to this world.

***

In a place where one could find mountains of different sizes. One could see a large structure built on a certain mountain with the constant traffic of people of different ages, mostly younger people, going in and out.

In the center was a great pavilion with different decorations of phoenixes and dragons etched on it.

"BASTARD!!" one could hear the loud voice of someone shouting, resentfully.

"How? Why? My son!! What do you mean he was killed?!" A middle-aged man who was sitting a throne with different middle-aged men on his both side. Everyone was stunned by the news that the disciple that was kneeling, brought.

"Clan Master, this was confirmed by Emperor himself that Young Master Juecheng had offended Medical Prodigy and tried to kill him, resulting in his death by the hands of Medical Prodigy, Wang Lei!!" A kneeling disciple said while sweating hard.

"My Son..." Fen Duanhun who heard the devastating news of his son's death fell on the ground.

"Clan Master!!" a clan elder beside him shouting and supported Fen Duanhun from falling. He was Fen Moli, the Great Elder of BHC. His hair and beard were already pure white, both his elderly face and slightly cloudy eyes had a great number of vicissitudes settled within.

"Clan Master, control yourself! If young master Juecheng saw you like this he would be disappointed! You are a Clan Master of one of the Four Major Sects! You can't show any weakness!"

"Then what should I do, Elder Moli?! My son was killed, should I stay and do nothing?!" Fen Duanhun was shouting at the end.

Fen Moli shakes his head, "No, Clan Master! We should revenge our Young Master and let the world know that messing with our clan will result in only one thing, and the is death! I have also heard that that Fairy of Ice, Xia Qingyue, is the sister of this Medical Prodigy! We can kill them both this time!"

Fen Duanhun who heard him looked up with a vicious expression. "You are right, Great Elder! Today we shall kill both this brother and sister pair! Let's go! Only you and I are enough!"

Hearing him Fen Moli nodded and left the BHC and went towards the Floating Cloud City. Others only watched the show from the sideline and didn't participate. They would have if their Clan Master asked but this time he didn't so they also didn't participate.

Fen Duanhun and Fen Moli reached the Floating Cloud City and went towards Xia Manor. It was quite obvious with its name hanging above the front door. Fen Duanhun shouted furiously, calling for Wang Lei but no one came. Just as he was about to shout again they saw a woman that looked to be in her twenties coming out. They raised their brows, "You, Woman go and call that brat Wang Lei to come out or we will kill every single person in this manner!" Fen Moli shouted.

Dongxue who heard him looked towards them and asked with a smile, "And what would you want from my son?"

Hearing her they were surprised that Wang Lei was her son, she looked more like a big sister than a mother of three.

"So you are the one who gave birth to that whore and bastard son of yours, huh!!" Fen Duanhun was furious because of the loss of his eldest son. He thought that he should capture this woman and torture her but just as he finished he saw the woman's smile disappearing and so does she. By the time he realized what was going on, he saw a fist coming towards him with enough pressure to squeeze him like a bug. The punch directly landed on his face as, he was shot like a fast-moving train, towards the ground. Fen Moli who couldn't understand what was going on was about to attack her but she vanished and appear above Fen Duanhun, slamming her feet on his face.

Boom* Boom* boom*

She kept on slamming her feet on him until there was nothing left of Fen Duanhun except some meat pieces here and there. She spat on him, "Don't you ever dare to curse my children in front of me!!!" Poor Fen Duanhun, even in his death couldn't understand how he died.

Fen Moli had his mouth wide open. He couldn't move from where he was standing, fear taking over him. Suddenly, he felt someone touching his shoulder, making him tremble. But before he could do anything he heard a silent and ethereal voice, devoid of any emotions.

<Ice Time>

He saw in dread as his whole being was frozen solid. "You should have never said anything about my brother!" Qingyue said, emotionlessly. She had come to check on her mother but when she heard them calling Wang Lei a bastard, she decided to just finish them.

"Well, that was quite some stress relief~," Dongxue said happily as she and Qingyue went back inside the manor.

Wang Lei who was floating above had sweat dripping from his brows. "She's scary!". He looked down at the body of Fen Duanhun and Fen Moli, his eyes turning red as a flower shape pattern emerged in them.

<Amaterasu>

Black flames started to form on the bodies of both BHC's clan master and great elder as their very existence erased from the face of the earth.

Burning both of their bodies he looked towards the direction of the city's gate. "You are finally here, little Yue!"

Cang Yue who reached the Xia Manor looked at the mess and was confused. She heard Wang Lei's voice and looked at his direction. "Young Noble!" she walked towards him and did a graceful bow. Wang Lei nodding said, "Let's go inside!"

They both went inside as Wang Lei didn't go towards the garden, instead, he led her to his room. Cang Yue who was following him confused but she didn't ask any question as she silently follows him.

"Enter!" Wang Lei said, opening the door to his room. Cang Yue thanking him entered inside followed by Wang Lei.

Entering his room Wang Lei went and sat on a chair near the window and tells her to sit in front of him. "Now that you have become my maid there are some things you need to know, little Yue" smiling Wang Lei said.

Cang Yue who heard him had a serious expression on her face as she leans forward a little with focus. "Please do tell me, Young Noble"

Seeing her serious expression Wang Lei nodded, "Then let's start with a simple question! Do you have the determination to follow me as my maid? And by maid, I don't mean a maid that is only used for my daily needs. What I want is a sword that swings the way I want it and has enough sharpness to cut the heaven itself! Do you have the determination to do that, little Yue?!"

"I know what you are thinking but the thing is that I will soon be leaving for an adventure but I don't want to bring a burden to know as a maid. But a sharp sword! I am telling you this; so you can choose. Whether to become a normal maid or to be my sword that will stand by side for eternity!"

Wang Lei said. He wanted someone with a heart and determination to lead others and he knew from the story that Cang Yue was perfect for such a job. Neither he nor Qingyue or any other woman he knows had a personality that would make one willingly follow them. He had a personality that would make people revere and respect him but most of the part would be fear of his powers while Qingyue was just too cold with anyone who she didn't know. And other fairies that he knows… well… let's leave them.

Cang Yue who heard him didn't have to think much. She loved him. even if it was one-sided right now, that didn't mean that it will forever be one-sided. The reason she became his made was so that she could stay by his side and win his heart. Now she was given a choice to stay by his side for eternity! Why would she not choose that? Determination flashed through her eyes as she looked towards Wang Lei, "Please let me become your sword, Young Noble!"

Hearing her, Wang Lei had a wide smile on his face. He gently ċȧrėsses her face. "Then from now on, you shall be my sword, Little Yue. The sword that will follow me for eternity and will always be by my side!"

Cang Yue was blushing but at the same time, she felt a different kind of emotion beavering inside her. It was not to love; it was a dėsɨrė to protect. To protect the one that wields her!

Wang Lei raises his hand and a golden portal emerged behind him from where a swords came. A long sword with exquisite golden and blue engravings on its blue hilt emerges from the portal. Wang Lei takes the hilt of the sword and inserts the sword in the ground.

Cang Yue was captivated by the appearance of the sword. She had never seen such an elegant sword. It gave her a majestic feeling. She saw Wang Lei inserting the sword on the ground, "Now, you have to wield this sword, little Yue. This sword will determine whether you have enough motivation to become my knight or not!' Wang Lei said, seriously. It was the Sword of Victory: Caliburn. Or also known as Sword in the Stone. It was the sword that King Author used in his early battles when he was selected as a King of England.

Cang Yue hearing him become serious. She took a deep breath and takes the hilt of the sword in her hand. Wang Lei who saw her taking the hilt watches carefully. Just as she took the hilt, he could see her eyes becoming unfocused as she stood still. There was sweat between her brows. Wang Lei could tell that the sword was testing whether she was worthy or not to wield it.

Five minutes passed but he received no reaction from her. Just as he was about to get anxious, golden light started to emerge from the sword. He heard her voice that felt ethereal to him. It felt that voice was not coming from her but the sword was the one leading her.

"Grant me thee power, O' Sword of Selection and Victory: Caliburn!" shouts Cang Yue raising the sword and points it towards the sky as a golden beam emerges from the sword and pierce the sky.

Wang Lei saw Cang Yue standing with majesty for all to see. He smiled. 'Finally! It's time for the first World Travel!'
