An expanse of blue water all the way to the horizon, the white clouds floated across the plane.
” Answer me, Big Sister Ronghua.” Jun Tianyun looked at Jun Ronghua with an expectant gaze. ” After I was infected with that strange poison and banished from the clan, what happened?”
” Haah, I really don’t want to remember that, Xiao Jun.” Jun Ronghua sighed as she closed her eyes. Taking a big sip, she tried to remember the painful memories.
” I was devastated when grandpa expelled you from the clan. Along with your condition, it’s like a prince turning into a beggar overnight.”
” Despite grandpa’s warning, I keep spying on you from the shadows. However, you…” Jun Ronghua sighed. ” I couldn’t see your pain. Suddenly losing a portion of memories, struggling in an orphanage with such a frail body…I simply couldn’t stand it.”
” Returning back to the clan, I closed myself in a room. I tried my best to increase my strength. However, With Jun’s Family’s condition, I realized that I couldn’t reach the stage I wanted to reach.”
” With grandpa’s permission, I returned back to the main family. However, coincidentally…” Jun Ronghua’s face became amused.
” I received information about an inheritance. In the Northern Tibet mountain, there was a palace, hidden in clouds and snow.” Jun Ronghua’s expression became nostalgic.
” There, I received the inheritance of the final master of Snow Eagle Palace, Witch of Crimson Snow.”
” That’s…A Demonic Faction inheritance?” Jun Tianyun murmured. Jun Ronghua looked at Jun Tianyun with a light smile.
” Does it matter?”
” If it’s harming you, then yes.” Jun Tianyun replied seriously. Jun Ronghua’s eyes sparkled as she leaned towards Jun Tianyun, gently rubbing his chin.
” Aww, You still have a soft spot for me, Hm? I am glad to know that.” Jun Ronghua chuckled. ” However, You know it, Xiao Jun. Fortune favors the brave. And true power comes with danger.”
” Anyway, I managed to pass all the trials and received all the inheritance of Crimson Snow With. However, even I didn’t expect I would be so…compatible with the inheritance.”
” And I awakened the Heavenly Betwitching Yin Body. Along with the martial arts of the Snow Eagle Palace, My strength grew a lot in a short period of time.”
” However, along with the inheritance, I received a curse.” Jun Ronghua gave a wry smile.
” I could only return to Xia Nation when I reach Xiantian Realm. And even after that, I can only unlock the full potential of my power after destroying Taiqi Shrine.”
” Taiqi Shrine? Is it some hidden sect like Netherworld Cult?” Jun Tianyun asked.
” Yes, You are right.” Jun Ronghua nodded. ” However, Thousands of years passed. I wonder if the Taiqi Sect is still around? If it was destroyed, then I would benefit a lot.”
” So you left Xia nation altogether? What after that?” Jun Tianyun was curious.
” Nothing really. I traveled across the nations. Then during my stay in Venice, I helped a mafia family. And in return, they became the first force underneath me.”
” After that, you know…” Jun Ronghua shrugged, ” Becoming a mercenary, walking in both light and darkness, gathering companions, and making a team. Now you see the Dark Phoenix guild.”
” I really thank you, Lady Jane.” Maria bowed. ” Without you, my father and my family wouldn’t have survived.”
” Don’t say that, Maria.” Jun Ronghua smiled. ” Your father helped me, so It’s my duty to return that favor.”
Maria saw Jun Tianyun’s confused gaze as she bowed before him. ” I am Maria Veneto, the eldest daughter of Veneto Family of Venice.”
” Veneto Family is one of the five great criminal syndicates in the world.” Jun Ronghua added.
” We are just doing some business in the gray area, Lady Jane.” Maria smiled.
” Yet you are still acting as her maid?” Jun Tianyun asked with surprise.
” It’s something I vowed to do. My wish is to serve Lady Jane till the end.” Maria spoke in a proud voice.
” Oh, Maria, I told you to not act like that.” Jun Ronghua sighed. ” You should also go and have your own life, no?”
” But I am happy to serve you, Lady Jane.”
Jun Ronghua shook her head with a helpless smile as she looked back at Jun Tianyun.
” But now, It’s your turn, Xiao Jun.” Jun Ronghua played her chin on her fist. ” Tell me about you.”
With a light nod, Jun Tianyun briefly narrated everything, from Green Leaf City to the Capital City, salvaging the Sky Fire Group, cleaning the enemies of the Jun Family, and acquiring the Southern Island Nation, he explained everything.
” Hmu, I think you are still hiding a lot of things.” Jun Ronghua was amused when she heard Jun Tianyun’s words. ‘ However, Are you telling the truth? You have cured your condition?”
” Yes, Big Sister Ronghua. I am perfectly fine now,” Jun Tianyun nodded. ” The poison in my Eight Hidden Meridans is completely cured.”
” Good! Very good!” Jun Ronghua couldn’t help but get excited. ” I was still worrying about that thing. After all, even the renowned masters of Poison Gu Valley were helpless before it.”
” Those bastards, I swear I will give them gruesome deaths. Everyone who tried to harm our Jun Family, I will kill them all.”
Jun Tianyun placed his palm on Jun Ronghua’s clenched fist. ” You will, Big Sister Ronghua. And I shall stand beside you.”
” Xiao Jun…”
Jun Ronghua’s expression turned soft as she heard Jun Tianyun’s words. Suddenly leaning forward, Jun Ronghua hugged him tightly.
” You already did so well in Xia Nation. Now, Please stay with me and relax. Once we have gained enough power, we will return and sweep back all our enemies.”
” But for now…”
Jun Ronghua got up as she looked outside of the window, looking at the expanse of ocean.
” I shall be your caretaker.”

” Yoh! Looser Barry, Are you dead? Just from this much beating?”
” Hahaha! He already wet his pants! Gosh! It’s stinking!”
A group of students bullied another student, who was lying on the ground.
‘ I will kill you! I will kill all of you.’
Blood seeped from Barry’s lips as he curled on the ground. Unknowingly, the blood slowly dripped on a sword necklace he was wearing.
