--- Chapter 91 ---
"This is..."
"How could such delicious food exist in this WORLD!"
"Even I never heard it in the upper realm." A sound of joyful squeal on a pavilion inside Xia Manor.
One could see a beautiful scarlet-haired girl rubbing her cheeks in delight there. She currently enjoys the 'desserts' she has never heard of or tasted in her life.
This girl is obviously Jasmine.
'So much for a girl who was on the verge of death a week ago.' In front of Jasmine, Xia Qingyue sipped her tea elegantly.
Unlike the scarlet-haired princess, the young lady of Xia Manor has a refined demeanor and nobility."How cute." Cang Yue giggled. "Do you want more, Jasmine?"
"This tiramisu was 'freshly' made by me, and I bet you like it more than the one you tasted earlier."
"Really?" Jasmine's red eyes lit up like a cat. Usually, she would be wary of any people feeding her food, but she knew Cang Yue and Xia Qingyue were trustworthy.
Cang Yue smiled and took a spoonful of her hand-made tiramisu, feeding it to Jasmine's mouth.
"Aun-! Huh?" Jasmine closed her eyes and anticipated a spectacular taste, but nothing entered her mouth.
"Thanks for the food." A playful voice brushed her ears instead.
Jasmine opened her eyes and saw Yu Long, who ate her tiramisu.
HER TIRAMISU!
"Yu Long, your scoundrel!" Jasmine jumped and pounced on the young man, punching him lightly with her balled fists. "This princess won't forgive for such heresy!"
"How dare you eat my tiramisu!"
Yu Long was 'actually' amused by Jasmine's outraged state.
It's adorable.
What a feisty fellow, hehe.
'Well, The domestication-! Cough, I mean, the recovery plan is going smoothly.' Yu Long smiled slightly.
After watching and reading so much media in his previous life, Yu Long understood that tasty food is the easiest method to conquer one's heart.
Good food always makes people closer.
Even the battered and injured cat-like Jasmine becomes closer to Yu Long and others in a week. She still held some suspicion and wariness because of her experience, but at least she was open enough to joke and banter with Yu Long.
Jasmine is only 13 years old. That's three years younger than Yu Long.
She needs to know more warmth and learn about the world, just like how Xia Qingyue broke her ice cocoon years ago.
It wouldn't be easy, but Yu Long could see her recovering.
As slow as it is, Yu Long has some time to spare.
At first, Jasmine is akin to an injured and sick cat who would hiss at any chance.
But with enough tender care and food, she becomes mellower.
"Nya!" Jasmine bit Yu Long's hand. Since she couldn't use her divine power or cultivation base, she resorted to brute-forced violence.
"What are you, a cat?" Yu Long laughed and lifted Jasmine's petite body, putting her on Cang Yue's lap.
After meeting with Jasmine, Yu Long also discovered that even with just her soul, she could still eat normally. As if ascending to the Divine Realm changes one's nature to the very core.
At first, Yu Long thought it was weird, but the change probably related to the transition from 'mortal' to 'divine' that Zilong(Dragon God) and Yuyan(Phoenix God) mentioned in his solitary training.
'A realm where one's mortal flesh isn't needed anymore.'
'A higher lifeform who could traverse through space.'
Yu Long hasn't fully comprehended the secret of Tyrant Profound Realm yet, but he felt it wouldn't be long before he understood it.
The 'Overlord' probably has something to do with one's profound strength in the quality of a lord, gaining authority over heaven(sky) and earth.
"Hmph!" Jasmine swayed her head away.
Yu Long smiled, "What's with that hmph? You're freeloading on my territory. Maybe you should start paying rent and food."
"At this point, Xia Manor would go bankrupt because of you..."
"You gluttonous princess."
Jasmine felt like a cat got her tongue and puffed her cheeks, "This princess is still recovering..."
"After I recover my body and strength, I'll pay you back."
Deep inside, Jasmine knew she was being a burden, but she wouldn't admit it, definitely not in front of this shameless Yu Long.
"I remember your words well... Hehehe." Yu Long responded with a smile that sent a shiver to Jasmine's soul body.
'T-This scoundrel, he's up to no good!' Jasmine glared at Yu Long, but the latter casually patted her.
She felt comfortable and added, 'Hmph, this princess will allow you to pat me for this once.'
Xia Qingyue pouted, "Stop teasing her, Big Brother."
She was jealous. Her 'younger sister' position might get taken away by this feisty, scarlet-haired girl.
Yu Long felt Xia Qingyue's envious gaze and stopped playing around, allowing Cang Yue to feed Jasmine again.
He sat beside Xia Qingyue and held her hand under the table, "So, how is everyone?"
"I've been locking myself for a day now."
"Good." Cang Yue was the first to answer. "I felt [Monarch Heart Secret Art] was about to break through to level 18."
Xia Qingyue smiled and announced, "My [Ocean Quake Symbols] is getting closer to level 19."
"In two or three days, I might reach it."
"After that, I'll add another element into the mix and turn it into the Heaven-Grade Cultivation Method."
"Good, good." Yu Long nodded in amazement. "I'm proud of you two."
Jasmine tilted her head in confusion, "Monarch Heart Secret Art? Ocean Quake Symbols? Level 18 and 19? Heaven-Grade Cultivation Method?"
"What are you guys talking about?" She asked while eating her cake.
Ever since Jasmine came in contact with Yu Long and his companions, she couldn't use her profound sense, so these youngsters' cultivation base is unknown to her.
She could only roughly guess them being around Sky Profound Realm or above because they could fly, which is quite surprising for their age.
The lower realm's energy quality is so bad that reaching this realm was exceeding Jasmine's expectations.
Not to mention, Jasmine couldn't sense any profound strength around them. They felt like 'common' people, but she knew someone like Yu Long couldn't be ordinary.
After all, Yu Long possessed Sky Poison Pearl, one of seven Heavenly Profound Treasures.
"Do you really want to know?" Yu Long put on a mysterious smile.
'What's with that face? So annoying...' Jasmine scrunched her little nose in satisfaction.
"Xueruo, you may show Jasmine your cultivation base."
Cang Yue nodded and cupped her hand as if she were praying, releasing a small ball of light. The ball of light has three colors, white, green, and gold, swirling harmoniously.
An auspicious aura erupted from Cang Yue's body, making her look like a saint of the world.
Her black hair turned white with a speck of gold, and her face became fairy-like.
Upon closer looks, Jasmine also noticed Cang Yue's eyes became jade-like green filled with mystery. She couldn't read past those eyes.
However, Jasmine immediately noticed the aura of Cang Yue's profound art.
"No way..." The petite girl's jaw dropped slightly.
"Light(Life) Laws."
"Impossible! How could someone from the lower realm learn Profound Art with Light(Life) Laws?"
Even in the Realm of God, Light-based Profound Arts are rare as they were known for their 'demanding' requirement.
Only one with a sacred body and heart could cultivate Light-based Profound Arts.
Does this mean Cang Yue possessed a rare sacred body and heart?
Jasmine was dumbfounded. She would never think the harmful-looking young lady, who always fed her cakes, would possess such a talent.
She glanced at Xia Qingyue and Yu Long, "Are you guys perhaps from the upper realm?"
"Pfft-!" Yu Long and Xia Qingyue glanced at each other before chuckling at the ridiculous question.
"DON'T LAUGH!"
Xia Qingyue wiped tears off her beautiful face and answered, "To answer your question, Jasmine. We were born and raised in the Blue Pole Star and never left..."
'Well, we also planned to visit the upper realm later.' She added in her heart.
Jasmine blinked in awe and asked again, "T-Then, what about Cang Yue's Profound Art?"
"Any Light-based Profound Art is difficult to train unless you have a legacy for it..."
"Nah, I just made it." Yu Long shrugged like it was nothing special.
"What do you mean by you made it, Yu Long? You shameless scoundrel, stop bragging!"
Yu Long sighed helplessly, "I'm telling the truth."
"You wish." Jasmine snorted, but then she noticed Cang Yue and Xia Qingyue's funny expressions.
They are holding their laughs.
Her eyes widened as she trembled, "D-Did you really make it yourself?"
"Of course, you guys don't?" Yu Long rolled his eyes and returned with sarcasm. "Making Profound Arts is easy as long as you understand the basics."
"Among my group, it's a pretty common thing."
"Oh, I forgot. You guys from the upper realm are more shameless as you claimed the legacy left by Gods and Devil Race as your own."
"Tsk, tsk. Talking about being a scoundrel..."
"..." Jasmine's face twitched.
Common your head!
Fuck you!
Jasmine didn't know that this conversation was just the start of a crazy and wild rollercoaster about the young man she decided to follow for the rest of her life.
