The Sword Palace: Book 5 of Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

by Fat Bread

"However, he wants to leave, he wants to see the various god's domains and reach a higher realm."

  "Since my bride wants to, I can't just go to sleep and do nothing. So I decided to give him one last help."

  "I believe he will become a much more beautiful bride in the future." Hydra blushed as she smelled Yun Xi's odour left on the mask and the robe.

  "He is still too young now, it's a bit awkward to put my hands on such a young boy."

  "Can this still be considered a lady's behavior? Aren’t you playing a growing game? What bad taste." Casina sniffed at Hydra.

  "He will come back, because there is a very important thing for him here, unfortunately, he still can't obtain it yet." Hydra showed a mysterious smile on the corners of her mouth.

  "As for you, Casina, don't carry off my bride!"

  "I don't think I like robbing the cradle like you. I just want him to become my disciple. After all, it's not easy to find such an excellent 'Soft Body'." Casina said in a bad tone and kicked Hydra's leg. Her brown skin was in striking contrast to Hydra's white skin.

  "You are like a pot calling the kettle black... don't forget you are already hundreds of years old, you are not the little girl who accidentally broke into my garden." As a lady, Hydra thought that it was too impolite to talk about age problems. The difference between a five digit number and a three digit number was just two zeroes, it's not too striking od a difference! “It's not my fault for being a long lived fantasy creature!”

  "I'm not as shameless as you... how old are you? How can your mind still be filled with fantasies about love?" To Casina, improving her martial arts was the ultimate goal of her life, nothing was more important than that.

  During her hundreds of years of life, she only had the impulse to accept disciples a few times, because there weren't to many super geniuses in the god's domains that could let her feel interested enough and want to teach them the Battle God Genre.

  In some sense, Casina was a pure woman just like the sword "The Sands of Time" on her back.

  "Yes, yes, you still haven't changed, just like the little girl below." Hydra shrugged her shoulders. If Casina's character wasn't like this, she probably couldn't create the strong Battle God Genre.

  Casina only used a few hundreds of years to enter the legend rank. Even though all Sky Swords were monsters above monsters, Casina was still one of the most terrible monsters amongst them.

  Also, due to her pure, innocent character, she could become a lot of old beings' friends, because no one would worry about whether or not she would betray them. She was a person that could help her friends keep any of their most valuable treasures.

  Compared to Casina, the Sky Flying princess was also skilled and had a potential that wasn't inferior to any Sky Sword, however, her intelligence was... too unreliable.

  There was so much evidence that had proved that Yun Xi was the White Emperor, yet she still trusted him wholeheartedly.

  She blamed all the things Yun Xi had done on the "White Emperor".

  Looking at such a pure and cute little princess, Hydra couldn't help but want to play tricks on her.

  As a lady who took the blame for her bride, Hydra showed an evil smile on her face.

  My bride, there are still a lot of surprises waiting for you in this world.

  Therefore, grow up quickly, you are still not strong enough to know the secret of this world.

  As the watcher of this secret, she had slept and waited for thousands of years.

  It won't be a long time to continue waiting for a hundred years again, will it?

  I'm looking forward to your growing up, I'm looking forward to the moment you wear a gorgeous wedding dress.

  My most favourite, beautiful and loveliest bride, Yun Xi.

  ...

  "Well..." Yun Xi felt his back go cold.

  It must be my delusion! He thought.

  "You mean, the White Emperor has left?" Yun Xi found something wrong.

  I am the White Emperor, where did the other White Emperor come from? Moreover, the White Emperor said that everything I did in this world was actually what he did, now, the master of this world had appeared, so he didn't need my body anymore and returned it to Hua Huo.

  The other White Emperor helped Yun Xi to deceive Hua Huo, but for what reason?

  "That White Emperor is just a bastard! He just thought that your body is a good container and used you like a puppet!" Hua Huo was outraged with anger.

  The damn White Emperor is guilty! He deserves ten thousands of deaths!

  Chapter 327: Two White Emperors (2)

  "Splosh! Splosh!" Sea waves gently washed upon the sandy beach. When the sun went down, beside a campfire, Yun Xi was laying in Hua Huo's arms with a helpless look.

  "Ooo ooo, how dare the White Emperor control my Little Xi's body! If he didn't help you enhance your body as compensation, I wouldn’t be done with him!" Hua Huo pinched Yun Xi's hands and feet with a disgruntled look.

  This was already the tenth time she helped him check his body. Her expression was always bad every time she checked his body, he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

  Without the White Emperor Mask, Yun Xi couldn’t obtain the help of this world's help again. However, the changes that had happened to his body didn't disappear.

  Even he himself hadn't realized that his body had been totally changed unknowingly.

  If his physical quality when he just arrived in the Water God's world was one, he was one hundred times stronger than his past self. He could now kill one hundred units of his past self easily, even with his eyes closed.

  Due to the breakthrough of his “Baker’s” career, his mental strength had also been strengthened, which was already far more than most hero ranked beings.

  Although the career "Baker" couldn't enhance his combat ability, it could help him increase his speed of understanding of the rules of the universe.

  Only the barrier between the mortal rank and the hero rank was still stopping Yun Xi from becoming stronger, although, it wasn't really a hurdle for him since he had even experienced the power of the legend rank with his body.

  If he wanted, he could stride across the barrier within three days, becoming a hero ranked Swordsman.

  However, after experiencing the powers of the legend rank, Yun Xi looked back on his path to power again and ceased to advance consciously. He gave up trying to reach the hero rank for the time being.

  As a matter of fact, it was also because of the power Hua Huo had shown him, which let him realize what a strong potential the mortal rank still contained.

  After seeing the tip of the iceberg of the legend rank, he found that all the legend ranked powers he had ever seen had a similar feature.

  Hydra, the Water God, the fantasy creature overlord, the nine headed demon snake, as long as her nine heads weren't being chopped off at the same time, she was immortal.

  Shaya Longnis, the tenth Sky Sword, the child of the slime race, the slime who had thousands of avatars, as long as there was still a slime living in the endless god's domains, she wouldn't be killed.

  If the reason they entered the legend rank was because of their specific race, then the other two legends were totally different.

  Casina, the sixth Sky Sword, the Battle God, the human who had entered the god's realm, the super martial artist who beat Shaya Longnis to death.

  And the oldest Sky Sword, who just appeared for a moment but judged three legend ranked beings in an instant.

  The four legend ranked beings had all exposed powers that were similar to the essential rules of the world.

  Shaya Longnis' power and Hydra's power tended to be race specific; Casina's power and the oldest Sky Sword's power were close to the law of heaven and earth.

  Maybe they were just different forms of expression of the same power, because they were all powers that sprang from the basic rules of the universe.

  The common point is...

  "Hua Huo, if I wanted to reach the legend rank, is it a ‘must be’
to master a godlike skill?" Lying on her knees, he suddenly asked.

  "Gee... why are you asking? Oh, I see, the White Emperor told you this?"

  "No, he didn’t!"

  "To humans, mastering a Godlike skill is indeed the best way to open the door of the legend rank, however, it isn't the only way. If you can arouse your oldest bloodline power... oh..." Hua Huo suddenly realized that Yun Xi's bloodline couldn't be as good as her Sky Flying Bloodline, so she immediately changed the topic.

  "If you can find a super artifact that is perfectly fit for your physical quality, for example, one of the legendary sky swords, it can help you reach the legend rank."

  So, godlike skill, bloodline, and artifact were the three essentials that can help me reach the legend rank. Yun Xi silently remembered this information.

  There were also the things countless people wanted to obtain in the endless god's domains.

  Arousing his oldest bloodline, mastering a godlike skill, or obtaining an artifact. If he wanted to open the door leading to the legend rank, he must obtain one of the three "keys", otherwise, it would be just a waste of time no matter how hard he tried.

  In fact, the three keys all pointed to some certain rules of this world, they could be considered as the instantiations of these rules.

  Hua Huo, Hydra and Shaya Longnis were born with one of the keys. When they grew up, they could naturally enter the legend rank.

  Casina created a godlike skill using her own power and wisdom, then opened the "door" using her godlike skill as the "key".

  As for the oldest Sky Sword, her artifact, the ice blue sword was impressive to him. He guessed that she may have entered the legend rank by using her sword.

  After all, the ice blue sword could even beat down the White Holy Dragon, the Water God and the tenth Sky Sword. Undoubtedly, it was the strongest artifact he had ever seen.

  Although it was for just a short time, when he was holding the ice blue sword, he had a vision that he could cut open the entire Water God's world at that moment. What a delusion!

  No, it was probably not a delusion. The ice blue sword really could break stars and cut open the void.

  "This is really a big big world." Stretching out his hand, Yun Xi looked at the clouds through his fingers. In the sky, he vaguely saw a silver masked figure smiling at him.

  It was Hydra's avatar, who just wore the silver mask and replaced his identity, walking in this world as his substitute.

  Now, there were two White Emperors in this world at the moment.

  The figure who replaced his identity in this world and helped him carry everything on his back.

  The young boy who had just returned to his childhood sweetheart and would embark on his journey and new life.

  They were both the White Emperor!

  Chapter 328: The Innocent Fantasy Creature Overlords

  "Don't look at the sky! That guy isn't handsome at all!" Hua Huo held Yun Xi's hand and pressed it on her cheek, "Listen, Little Xi, you can't be affected by that man."

  "He is just a shameless pervert and deserves ten thousand deaths. If he didn't return you back to me, I wouldn't just let him go."

  Listening to her angry tone, sweat broke out all over his body and trickled down his back.

  No matter what will happen, I will never tell her that I was the White Emperor and I wasn't being possessed!

  Fortunately, she didn't even doubt him. Even before he tried to find any excuse, she had poured her anger at the non existent White Emperor.

  Was it a white lie? No, it wasn't a lie, because he never said "I'm not the White Emperor", "Yun Xi's body was possessed by the White Emperor" was just her guess and she believed it beyond a shadow of doubt.

  As a man, he thought that he knew when to speak and when to close his mouth tightly.

  Looking at his strange expression, she felt that something was wrong.

  Oh, they're smells on Yun Xi's body!

  "Sniff... sniff..." she smelt his skin like a little puppy and wanted to cry.

  The smells are too many! They are not just the smells from one or two people, but dozens of mixing smells, from his toes to his fingers!

  She could imagine what an amazing crime the White Emperor had made when he possessed Yun Xi's body.

  Whoooa! That damned White Emperor stained my Little Xi!

  I will be back with a vengeance after my Sky Flying Bloodline is aroused!

  White Emperor, I will remember you!

  ...

  The ninth day after the sixth Sky Sword, Casina arrived at the Water God's world.

  In the hustle and bustle in the streets, a lot of strangers appeared.

  After the Water God's world had been opened to the outside world for a week, finally, the diplomatic groups of other god's domains had also arrived in this world.

  A lot of big shots came, and some of them were not inferior to Casina. If it wasn't because the Water God's world had suffered too many pains before and the people here were busy with rebuilding their homeland, these creatures' coming would cause a huge unrest.

  Yes, these big shots were "creatures" but not "humans", they were fantasy creature overlords just like Hydra.

  Although they didn't choose to become a god like Hydra, instead, relying on their specific race, they could run amuck in the endless god's domains.

  Yun Xi even witnessed a giant snake, whose body was half the size of the Water God's world, slowly crawled into this world from the light bridge. The whole process took it a few hours.

  The giant snake's body looked like it was wrapped around by countless rings. Every time it moved, Yun Xi had a fit of dizziness.

  When he took a close look, he found that the snake wasn't crawling but floating in the air. Actually, it was moving in another dimension but not really crawling with its belly. Probably this was the reason why it could arrive at White Lotus Sword Domain from the remote Western God's Domain so quickly.

  When it saw Hydra's White Emperor avatar, the giant snake looked very happy, and its style of greeting was to swallow the White Emperor avatar in its mouth, which made him feel grateful that he was not the White Emperor who was facing the public.

  After a while, a bird whose body was surrounded with flames flew into this world. After seeing the White Emperor avatar, it also looked very happy and carelessly burned half of the sky red and torrefied hundreds of young sailing jellyfishes.

  Fortunately, sailing jellyfishes wouldn't be killed in this manner. After being put into the sea, these broiled sailing jellyfishes quickly reactivated and flew back to the sky.

  "Little Xi, remember, if you see the people who look great and sacred in the future, stay away from them! Most of them have something wrong in their minds and ordinary people should never try to get close to them!" Hua Huo pointed at the snake and the firebird and shook her head.

  "For example, the snake is called 'Ouroboros'. People say that it can fly through the void easily, swimming in the sea of space and time with ease, but in fact, it's just an idiot. It even tried to eat its own tail when it felt hungry, and its ability of time travel is actually the result of its jumbled memories. People said that it can predict the future, but most of the futures it had seen were wrong. Moreover, it often confused the time of its prediction."

  "And the firebird also has a lot of problems. Also, it's an immortal bird, it will still die once upon a time and completely disappear from this world. It also has a bad memory. If it didn't record its memory into the memory stone frequently, it wouldn't even remember its own name!"

  "As for how this immortal bird did die and why it could revive after that, has always been a mystery."

  Looking at the two prodigious fantasy creatures, a drop of sweat dripped down from his forehead.

  Oh my god, if Hydra didn't replace my identity using the White Emperor avatar, am I the person who would have to face the two fantasy creatures now?

  No, I can't do it! The gap between the levels of our lives is too wide! Even if I wear the White Emperor Ma
sk, I couldn't stop my body from being as stiff as a stick when facing them!

  "Hum? Wait, something is wrong. Are they looking at us?" Hua Huo quickly stood forward and pulled Yun Xi to her back, staring at the two fantasy creatures courageously.

  Compared to the sailing jellyfishes, the snake and the firebird were really two well known fantasy creature overlords. They were at the same level as Hydra.

  Shouldn't they feel jealous after seeing Hydra becoming a god? Why do they look so pleasant?
