Chapter 12
Rayzer Severlance's POV:
The moment sister Crystal laid her eyes on him, all hell broke lose.
...
Ahem, sorry. Let me do a quick recap here.
-
Crystal Severlance was my 4th cousin and was a person whom I treated as my little sister. She was a once in a century cultivation genius who had managed to gather and absorb the surrounding qi. She then managed to circulate the absorbed qi through her body and ended up opening her own meridians, thus allowing her to cultivate to the 1st stage of Body Tempering realm at the early age of 5 years old. After news of Sister Crystal's early step into cultivation got out, the family elders nurtured and trained her up till she reached Spirit Refinement realm. After Sister Crystal grew up, the elders then switched their attentions to Little sister Jade who was also another once in a century genius with the fastest cultivation speed.
-
When comparing these two siblings with mine achievements, I indeed fall behind them. But when it comes to temperament and maturity, they're still kids! Within the seven of us new generation, if I claimed to be the 2nd most mature then no one else would dare say they're first!
-
Ah, I went off track for a moment there. My bad, haha.
-
Carrying on...
As we were given the cue and made our way upstage, Sister Crystal had suddenly halted before activating her famous [Ice Beauty Aura], thus lowering the family hall's temperature by a couple of notches. Sensing the abnormal chill in the air, I looked up to realize that Sister Crystal was already in a trance as she walked towards a young boy in the front row seats.
-
'He seems familiar.' I thought to myself. Squinting my eyes, I saw Sister Crystal walking towards a boy no more than 5 years old who had short black hair, big golden eyes and a tall nose. His skin was beige and he had this air of wild regality surrounding him. He was dressed fairly nicely, he had was wearing a black tuxedo paired with white leggings and leprechaun sports shoes. And he had bowtie on his back? Wait a minute, he's from the Severlance Family as well??
-
"Brother Rayzer, what's wrong? Why do you look like you're in shock?" Little brother Lei Yong asked.
-
"Uhm, nothing...Nothing. I was just wondering, who is that young boy with the white bowtie there? I thought only us from the New Generation of the family had to wear bowties??"
-
"Him? Oh, that's little cousin Starfall. You know, the son of 8th Junior Elder Shen. Sister Crystal's crush and Lil sis Jade's playmate."
-
After listening to Brother Lei Yong's explanation, I finally remembered this young boy. Ah, how could I have forgotten lil cousin Starfall?! He was the sole reason Lil sis Crystal was motivated to cultivate and get stronger...I remembered Lil sis Crystal once told me the reason she wanted to get stronger quickly, "I want my beloved Lil brother Starfall to notice me. Since he doesn't my beauty, then I'll make him notice my strength!" Not only that, Starfall's also the reason Lil sis Jade was so cheerful after each training season, She would rush to Lil brother Starfall's residence to destress after every training session with the elders. After years of going over, I heard that Lil sis Jade's mischievous behavior had rubbed off on Starfall thus creating another troublemaker in the family.
-
As I stopped reminiscing about my lil bro's past, the temperature of the family hall had dropped significantly in the past 3 minutes. Even I was feeling chilly at that point, and I was already a Late Spirit Refinement realm cultivator. If I was feeling chilly, whose to say that people weaker than me wouldn't outright get a cold?
-
"Little sister Crystal, now's not the time to meet with lil brother Starfall! Today's a special day and we need to put on our best performance!" I tried asking her to stop but she completely ignored me. Furrowing my brows, I nudged Brother Lei Yong and Brother Yong Sheng for help but they both immediately shook their heads. Of all the siblings here, Sister Crystal was the 3rd weakest, but once Starfall appears, her full potential immediately blooms and her strength would be on par a Soul Condensation realm expert. Girls in love were scary, alright?? Helpless, us siblings could only pray for Lil brother Starfall's well being as well hope that the hidden expert wouldn't mind this brother con girl act indiscriminately.
-
"Guess we'll for Lil sis Crys on stage..." I then ushered the boys and girls onto stage. Elder sister Yunfeng was already seated on stage along with the other elders and the family patriarch. It seemed she had already predicted this would happen because she was already wearing a fur coat over her dress. She also had no intention to help solve the issue as she was already smiling when the rest of us got up and got seated.
-
"Hehe, took you long enough." She was grinning so wide that wrinkles had appeared on the sides of her eyes.
-
Upon seeing her grin so happily, I could only shake my head in defeat. "Lil sister Crystal's obsession over Lil brother Starfall had completely slipped my mind just now so I hadn't come prepared. You truly are farsighted."
-
"Alright Rayzer, your sweet talking habit has surfaced again. Just sit back and enjoy this show, alright?" Elder sister Yunfeng pouted. Seeing her pout, I could shook my head in defeat again.
-
Just as I was about to strike a conversation with the elders, someone from the crowd had suddenly shouted. "Look, the Ice Princess placed her soft hands onto the boy's shoulders! And the boy's enjoying it!" "Outrageous!" "Insolent buffoon, who does this kid think he is? To actually dare enjoy the Ice Princess's touch!" "Treason! I say treason!"
-
Ah, her fan club had started acting up again. Heaving a sigh, I had wanted to shut them up with spiritual pressure myself, but before I could actually do anything, the men who were shouting before suddenly became ghostly white and managed to sweat out water droplets in this ice cold family hall?! What's going on? Looking at crowd of people below me, I didn't see anyone move, much less casted any arts that could make the ignorant fanboys sweat buckets anyhow. What baffled me even more was that Little sister Crystal had unconsciously sealed Lil brother Starfall's meridians and had overcame her fear of getting close to him...Sealed Starfall's meridians? Wait a moment, did I sensed it right? Holy hell, Lil brother Starfall had stepped into the 1st level of Body Tempering realm?!?! And he's not even officially 5 yet?!
-
Then, to snap myself out of the shock, I had to deliberately use the cold to shiver myself awake. After that, I had initially wanted to consult this shocking discovery with Elder sister Yunfeng first before I would report this to the Senior Elders but before I could, lil brother Starfall had burst into tears...And Lil sis Crystal had ignored him?!
