Complications

As Hei silently accepts the 6 dragons as his friends, at the Hidden Dragon Sect, a few things are also being silently accepted.

---------

"Weilan…it's too early. We should wait…" Shaking his head, Shenlong Weilan replies in a slightly disappointed tone, "All I am asking for is a kiss, nothing else. I promise this is the truth." The mesmerizing Princess Yinghua shakes her head with a streak of blush across her cold face.

Shenlong Weilan sighs softly as he gazes at the stars. As if feeling guilty, she tries to change the topic while engaging in a bit of conversation. "I think I know who that black bear is. Well, more like who he is affiliated with."

As if he didn't hear, Shenlong Weilan continues to stare at the stars as he mutters silently, "Only if she understood how much I love her…These past few weeks really have been like a blessing. I wonder I deserve her…"

A soft sigh escapes his mouth as his gentle azure hair blows in the wind. His peaceful appearance seems to melt Yinghua's heart a bit as she reveals a pained expression.

Just as she is moves closer to him, he actually shakes his head. "It is fine…I would prefer you do it when you're truly willing and not feeling guilty. I will wait until the heavens collapse and the earth rots away for your acceptance."

These cheesy words seem to appeal to the cold heart of Xing Yinghua as she silently affirms to herself that this dragon really does show sincerity towards her.

Thinking to herself, "I really am lucky…If Mom and Dad really went ahead with their plans…I would eventually be with…that traitorous bastard. When they find out how well Weilan treats me and how great his potential is, then he can definitely have a good chance."

"Besides, if they were willing to accept 'Him' silently then why not someone who seems to have even more potential…A peak Immortal Physique plus the bloodline of his father…"

Hei sneezes randomly in the bathroom. "What the hell? How did that happen?" Shrugging, Hei finishes his bath and gets dressed. He stretches a bit and shakes his head. His face seems quite calm and even slightly relaxed but deep within his eyes, a deep and rich killing intent seems to be brewing.

Upon exiting the room, Hei notices that Sapphire Jade is sitting at the table as if she is waiting for him. "You bathe even longer than a girl." She giggles a bit and covers her mouth. Hei's temple produces a small vein as it pulsates a bit.

"I took a short shower…stop making it seem as if I was in there for a day. It is obvious you have something to say. Just say it." Sapphire Jade shakes her head in disappointment, "Seems all I taught you got lost when you were being 'Young Master Tianxiong.' I must say, that name kinda fits you."

"I didn't know you were actually a beast and a bear at that. The skill you practice to appear like the races really is excellent. I still wonder how you were born to humans. Does that mean you're a beast due to a special physique while being human? I really am curious."

Hei doesn't reply as he thinks to himself, "That bastard Gao sold me out. Whatever, I don't care." Sapphire Jade laughs a bit, "Alright Young Master Tianxiong, I will stop teasing now. I have good and bad news. What do you want to hear first?"

Blinking a few times, Hei seems to not have any desire to reply to her. She doesn't seem to mind as she continues as if this is normal, "The good news is, father is sending over someone that will be perfect for your needs. Bad news…he will be here in 3 days. This is bad because a spy located in the Hidden Dragon Sect sent back information saying that those 5 will be executed in 3 days. The timing seems quite bad. Hopefully he makes it in time."

Hei calmly nods and thinks to himself, "If he doesn't arrive on time, I will force that Nameless Patriarch to help or somehow get reinforcements from the Beast Constellation Sect. At least that bastard cat is showing a bit of sincerity."

Sapphire Jade shakes her head, "I wasn't finished…The one known as Shenlong Weilan was supposed to go to the Beast Constellation Clan, but the Clan Leader isn't giving his father any face at all. A certain Grand Elder isn't fond of him either and wishes to experiment on his body."

"Therefore, he isn't being accepted to go there. Seems they aren't too happy based on how things turned out. It seems your little girlfriend will have to face their anger because as a prisoner, it should be obvious that she shouldn't fall in love with the enemy."

"As someone who is a candidate for inheriting a high ranking position in the clan, she really hit herself on her toes with a stone indeed. Based on what we were told, those 5 will be executed in front of her parents as this Shenlong Weilan's way of proving to his possible in-laws that he can be kind to their 'Little Yinghua' while being ruthless to anyone who betrays him or poses a threat to them."

"To me, it's just a poor excuse to kill them. He can easily let them go since they have been tortured already and the real culprit is found. This is just him silently showing dominance while trying to look good in front of her parents. I will never understand you beasts."

Hei stares at the beautiful Sapphire Jade, his gaze roaming over her entire body. "Something changed…oh, your hair. It seems darker." Hei returns to the room and closes the door. Sapphire Jade stands there dumbfounded.

"I don't know if I should laugh or cry…on one hand, he noticed my hair got a bit darker…on the other hand, that didn't sound like a compliment. What the hell just happened?"

Hei continues to mediate upon the source powers within his body as he grasps the various rules governing them. In the blink of an eye, 3 days have easily passed. Fortunately, Sapphire Jades voice echoes outside of the door, "Hei, good news. The execution hasn't happened as yet and reinforcements have arrived!"

Hei sighs in relief. "Finally, something good happened. At least some cliché crap where I make it in the nick of time didn't play out. That would seriously be a crappy situation. I hate rushing." Hei straightens his clothing as he walks out of the room.

"You little kid…father sent over someone suitable and even the Beast Constellation Clan's Grand Elder sent over a small team to do what you requested and here you are looking so serious. If this doesn't make you happy, then what will?" Sapphire Jade's excited voice and her playful smile tells Hei that something good probably happened that he is unaware of.

As Hei walks into the kitchen with Sapphire Jade, he notices an old man sitting casually. He doesn't release the aura of an expert. Surprisingly, he doesn't have a long beard but instead has long, silver hair. A pair of dark grey demonic horns protrudes from his head.

Strange enough, a strong alcoholic aroma fills the room as the old man slightly sways back and forth. A large gourd is actually beside him while he holds a cup and sips from it merrily. His simply grey robe and drunkard appearance makes him seem like any old geezer who is enjoying life.

Even his eyes are narrowed to slits as a smile of appreciation can be seen on his face. "Who knew….Who knew….Who knew Demon Monarch great….Great Demon Monarch….Monarch would give this old…one….some of…Hahahahaha! Good, this is good!"

Sapphie Jade smiles with a mysterious and playful look on her face. "Hei, this is Elder Kongxiang. Elder, this is Liu Hei." Hei stares at the drunken old man as he wonders if this is really happening. Elder Kongxiang doesn't seem to realize Hei's facial expression and happily laughs.

Raising his cup quickly which almost causes some of the alcohol to spill, he utters in a drunk manner, "Cheers to Little Liu Hei! Demon Monarch….speaks well…speaks well of you he does! Drunken Demon here is….ready to help!"

Sapphire Jade seems to want to laugh but holds back with some effort. "Elder Kongxiang is always funny." The old drunkard laughs a bit, "This drunkard is…happy to know! Happy to know…Young Miss Sapphire Jade finds me funny! Hahahaha! Cheers!" The old man downs his alcohol quickly and pours another cup.

Surprisingly, not a single drop is spilled even though the cup is small and the gourd is large. Hei notes this as he tries to wrap his mind about this drunkard of a demon. Sapphire Jade seems quite amused at Hei's dumbfounded look and continues.

"Elder Kongxiang is actually a Transcendent Saint! Not surprising, right?" Hei blinks as he looks on the elder. He finally utters, "I really hate that black cat…" Elder Kongxiang seems like he is about to say something but instead, his head falls on the table as he begins to snore.

Hei stares in shock. "Oh hell no…this can't be real….Of all the persons he sent, it's a drunk. That black cat is the worst of the worst." Sapphire Jade smiles mysteriously, "Maybe you're just too unaccepting of unique persons. Furthermore, Father certainly isn't the worst of the worst. He's even more terrible than you can imagine."

She smiles happily but this smile in Hei's mind is like seeing a little witch who means no good at all. Hei's right eye twitches a bit as he wonders to himself what he has gotten into this time. Sapphire Jade laughs a bit and then says, "Oh! I almost forgot, Grand Elder Fan apparently sent over a few troops to the Nameless Sect. They are from his collection."

"Apparently, due to hearing that Father was willing to help you and his desire to experiment with that Shenlong Weilan, he actually decided to support you a bit. Thus, he sent over a few troops to enter a few of the battlefields to help you rage and to also collect some new 'resources'. He also sent a message that is basically his way of saying if you deliver that Shenlong Weilan, you won't owe him anything."

Hei nods but then looks at Elder Kongxiang again. "I want to head out now but…" Elder Kongxiang hops like frog off his chair as he staggers a bit. "I are ready already! Just tell…tell this drunkard what to help with!" Hei facepalms himself as he wonders to himself if those 5 will really die due to this drunkard's current state.

Taking a deep breath and calming his mind as best as possible, Hei replies, "I just want you to make sure their sect's patriarch or any other expert doesn't interfere with my actions. I just want to kill him and take back those 5. That princess can also be returned though I am currently wondering if my previous actions were worth it."

Elder Kongxiang gives a salute but almost falls back on his butt. His alcohol almost spilled but he manages to keep everything in the cup. "Ah! That sounds like nothing to….what is the word? Oh yeah! Nothing to…wait, I forgot it again…" He takes another sip of alcohol then finally utters, "Accomplish…that is the word. Wait, why did…why did I need that word?"

Hei's face almost twist in anger and disappointment as he wonders to himself if he will really have to go somewhere with someone who probably doesn't remember his own name. Hei walks out of the house sulking. Sapphire Jade covers her mouth as she laughs. She walks behind Hei as she seems to enjoy seeing Hei angry.

Outside, Wuya can be seen calmly sitting and drinking tea under a tree. She glances at Hei as she smiles a bit. "You little kid; Grand Elder Fan's troops have already been deployed to create havoc. That should lessen the experts."

"I also heard that Uncle and Aunty have already arrived at the Hidden Dragon Sect. Based on calculations, I would say that you have a few minutes before your little slaves die."

Hei's expression falls into one of depression as he almost kicks over Wuya's table in anger. "I hate that black cat. It is the only thing black I hate…hate it. Elder Kongxiang, we are leaving out now! So many damn Complications…"
