Death... and me

"What?!" Rean and Roan immediately looked at Izatia after that. "Did you find them?"

Izatia nodded. "Seems like it. They seemed to be in a city of the Vrix Race. The Vrix Race does live in the center of the Realm of Gods. Also, this race isn't so far away from the city Red mentioned he teleported them to. The descriptions match, and they answered your questions correctly. I believe they're the girls and the man you're looking for."

"Great!" Rean immediately got up after that. "Let's go out and receive them. Your demon beast race is bringing them to us, right?"

Izatia nodded once again. "Yes. However, don't forget what they need to do first."

The twins remembered that Placake would also use those blue claws on the girls. That was part of the deal to allow the girls and Zuo to come to them. Rean and Roan had accepted it, so they had already expected such a thing. "No problem. As long as they get here safely, we're fine with it."

Red then began to make his way out. "Well, I don't want to bother your reunion, so Elder Flan and I will take our leave. I spent a lot of time with those three, after all. Rean, Roan, if you need something from the Golden Drohare Race, send someone to tell me."

Rean quickly accepted that. "Thanks, Red. We'll probably see each a few more times in the future when the communication system spreads. It'll definitely reach your race's territory at some point."

"I'll be waiting for that." Red smiled as he answered.

It wasn't just Rean and Roan that came out of the System Sect. The twins also got Celis and Kentucky to come out since they knew those three, especially Kentucky.

There was one more curious person in their group, Luan. Roan was his master, but he heard how Zuo had been Roan's disciple for way longer. Not only that, but he also had an odd elemental affinity, which was magnetism. "So he's my senior disciple?"

Roan nodded. "That's true. However, it's also true that I spent way longer teaching you than I did with him. You know the story."

Izatia then warned the twins. "They should arrive at any moment now."

Suddenly, another fissure in space appeared as a woman with deep red feathers came out. Together with her, two human girls and one man followed. The feather definitely reminded Rean and Roan of the Phoenix back on the Zasfins' planet. It's just that they didn't care much about it right now.

"Here they are." The woman didn't waste time and quickly opened another fissure in space before disappearing. From the looks of it, she didn't like the task at all.

"Rean!"

"Roan!"

Qia and Calina quickly embraced the twins while Zuo just kept his hands behind and waited. Yet, as Calina cried out, Roan nodded at him from over her shoulder. 'Middle Stage of the Transition Realm. Very good cultivation considering you haven't gotten help from me during all these years. I want to hear more about your progress later.'

Zuo couldn't help but feel somewhat nervous after that. 'Y-Yes, master.'

Rean patted Qia's head as he laughed. "Hey, hey, hey! Why all those tears? We're cultivators, aren't we? We have so many years to live ahead of us, so the time we spent away from each other wasn't that much."

*Pah!*

*Ouch!*

Qia tried to kick Rean's leg. It's just that she was the one who suffered in the end. "Why is your leg so hard?" Rean had a Starlight Body, after all.

"Are you talking about my third leg? I always thought women preferred them hard."  Rean asked in response.

*Bam!*

*Ouch!*

This time, Qia used all her Divine Energy to kick it. Rean wasn't really trying to defend, so even the Starlight Body had its limits.

Qia looked at him with an angry expression mixed with other feelings. "Is that how you treat me after all this time?! Fuck you!" In any case, she didn't let him go.

Calina, who was also doing the same thing, glanced at Roan for a moment. "You won't make a dirty joke as well, right?"

Roan's mouth twitched in response. "Do I look like him?"

"You do," Calina answered with a small giggle. She was purposely talking about their appearances, not personalities.

"Hmph! Then we might as well not see each other anymore," Roan immediately struck back.

"Oh, yeah?" Calina asked with a smile. "So how come your arms aren't letting me go either?"

Roan looked away, pretending he didn't know anything. "This is just an involuntary reaction."

After some time, Calina finally got away from him as she looked at Kentucky. "Kentucky, you look so... handsome!"

Qia, who heard that, couldn't help but look at Kentucky. If not for the few black and white feathers, she might not have recognized him. "Is that you, Kentucky? You really look amazing!"

Kentucky, who was currently in his human form, puffed out his chest with pride. "But of course! If you two decide that these two idiots aren't good enough, just come to my nest. I will treat you with a lot of care. At the very least, I'll be a lot more affectionate than Roan."

*Bam!*

Rean and Roan immediately sent the bird flying with two kicks. "We have no need for you to be here anymore. Just go back to the sect and play with your own religion." Sure enough, Kentucky had his own fan club... again.

"Cough, cough..." Kentucky then came back while his back hurt. "You two don't know how to play. I'm not at fault if I look better than you." He then smiled back at Calina and Qia. "Anyways, it's good to see you again. I'm happy you two are doing well."

"You too, Zuo." Obviously, he didn't forget Roan's disciple.

Qia, Zuo, and Calina nodded in response. "Thanks."

The last one was obviously Celis. It's just that Qia and Calina never had any deep relationship with him. "Well, I guess it's good to see you again as well."

Celis sighed in response. "I wouldn't even be here to receive you if Rean hadn't insisted. I prefer to keep cultivating."
