The Mage of Primordial Chaos

Chapter 552 – Family Reunited

Soon, we arrived back at my father's plane without any further incidents. Naturally, we got out of the place where we created a massive crater quickly, as a disturbance of that level was sure to lead to guards from Nazeroth coming around and investigating what happened. We didn't want to be here when that happened, even though it probably wasn't even that bad, but in all honesty, we just really didn't feel like wasting time with them.

When we got back to the plane, the girls, who had been waiting for us, were surprised to see us. My father, Nael, and Eve they already knew, but my mother caught them off-guard, perhaps with her youthful looks. But what's more than that…

"… Psst, Big Brother Xuan Kai," Qing Yue pulled me to one side and whispered. "Who's that…?"

"Greetings," Xuan Yu said with a bow. "I am Xuan Yu, Xuan Kai's big sister. I take it… you are all his friends?"

There were some faces she recognized from the school in Shenzhen, of course. But for the most part, many were fresh, completely new faces to her, thus she was a bit confused to see all of them were… well, beautiful girls.

"Ahaha… 'friends' isn't exactly the right word, to be completely honest," Feng Mian said. "We're more like… his fiancées."

"O-Oh…" Xuan Yu was stunned at this, and could only blink with her mouth agape for several minutes, and my mother gave a light chuckle.

"Looks like you have quite a bit of competition, Xiao Yu."

"W-Wha?!" Xuan Yu was caught off guard and flinched. "P-Please don't joke about that… I only see Kai Kai as my little brother… if anything, I should be happy for him…"

"Mhm… sure. I believe you."

"…" Xuan Yu averted her gaze, blushing from embarrassment, while the other girls stared at me with deadpan expressions on their faces.

Hey now… I didn't do anything, okay?

Soon, however, their attention quickly turned to my mother, and the girls crowded around her before beginning to bombard her with questions like 'how do you look so young' and 'how is your skin so nice'. I let out a sigh of relief as my father patted me on the shoulder while sobbing.

"Sniff… you have it so much easier than I do, Kai Kai…"

"Yeah… right," I muttered, brushing him off since I didn't want snot to get on my cloak. 

"Back in my day, any time a girl even remotely approached me, your mother would-"

"Okay, that's enough," I quickly interrupted, saving his life there. My mother had excellent ears, and would've definitely heard what he was about to say next.

Spinning him around, I pushed him onto the plane and entered myself behind him. 

And not soon after, we took off to leave Demon Territory, our job here done.

– Later that Night –

After returning to the private beach, we all went for a good soak in the hot springs. Well, more accurately, we went separately—the girls on one side, the bigger side, and the guys on the small side. There were only three guys—my father, Nael, and I—so us using the smaller side naturally made sense.

"Ah… this is heaven, Kai Kai," my father said, easing himself into the hot water. "Your mother and your sister have both returned, the everlasting conflict between Order and Chaos has been resolved, and there's even an awesome hot spring right here. What more can a man ask for?"

"To see what's happening on the other side," I said with a wink. "I can tell you want to, you perverted old man. A married, perverted old man."

"S-Shut up! I only wish to look because your mother is there as well. I don't even care about the others—but you do, don't you? You can't tell me you don't want to look at their naked bodies, at your age."

"Well, about that," I gave a chuckle. "I don't need to—they'll show it to me anytime I want."

"…"

"… Heh."

"… Lucky bastard," my father grunted. "All my luck was passed on directly from your grandfather to you, it seems. I didn't even have a chance at it. To this day, I have yet to see your mother's fully naked body."

"Wow… that's depressing," I said with a laugh.

"Shut it, boy!" My father yelled in embarrassment, then ultimately gave a sigh and stared up at the night sky, leaning back against the rocks surrounding the steaming pool. "But… all jokes aside, I never believed we would be able to meet again like this, Kai Kai."

"… Yeah. Me too."

"I… have many apologies that I want to say to you," he continued in his real personality—his comedic one was just for effect. "But for my pride as a man, I can't be seen apologizing to another man over and over again, groveling for forgiveness. So… I'll just sum it up in one sentence: I'm sorry, Kai Kai."

I waved his apology off like it was nothing. "Don't worry about it. I understand where you were coming from."

"Right… but apart from that, I also wanted to say thanks," my father said, and I raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

"Thanks…" He smiled. "… For bringing your mother home, when I could not."

– Meanwhile, on the girls' side of the hot springs –

Within the large steaming pool of hot water, about a dozen extraordinarily beautiful girls sat, each with their own features and alluring curves. Their naked bodies seemed white and shiny enough to blend in with the steam rising from the water, and the sight was any man's dream. Many would kill to get an opportunity to look in on something like this, and the moment they did, not many would be able to hold themselves back from just diving in there and letting their primal desires take over.

No one, however, actually got a chance to peek in. After all, they were on a private, uninhabited island with nothing but nature.

And inside this very hot spring, a very interesting conversation was happening.

"So… you all claim to be my son's fiancees, yes?" Qing Ruo Lan asked the girls surrounding her with a wry smile on her face.

Feng Mian was the first to respond, and nodded. "Yes. He has already accepted us and-"

"But have you slept together with him yet?" Qing Ruo Lan continued before the other girl could even finish, and Qing Yue shrugged.

"Most of us, yeah, but not all. Lan Xiao Su and Zhao Xiuying, for example, haven't yet. I don't think Lin Luo has either."

"And nor do I want to," Lin Luo muttered. "I am not his fiancée by any means, just so we are clear. I am merely a companion in his journey, forced into submission. Nothing more."

"Oh? Forced? Are you certain?" Qing Ruo Lan smiled. "I've heard a bit about you, 'Lin Luo'… or should I say, Seventh of the Twelve-Winged Seraphims?"

At this, Lin Luo's eyes widened briefly. "You…"

"Don't look at me with that surprised expression," Qing Ruo Lan said with a giggle. "I just have a very diverse information network, that's all. But that aside… back to the topic, Kai Kai stole your Divine Lightning power, yes? But from my knowledge… the Divine Lightning that he uses is but a mere fragment of the Seventh Seraphim's true power—namely, True Lightning. Isn't that right?"

"… You know your stuff, aunty," Lin Luo muttered. "Howeve-"

Suddenly, a water bomb flew at Lin Luo too quick for her to even react, and it exploded in her face. This caused her to topple over in the water, creating a large water splash.

The other girls watched, stunned, as Lin Luo slowly rose back up to the surface, and glared at Qing Ruo Lan.

"… What was that for?"

"Calling me 'aunty'," Qing Ruo Lan responded matter-of-factly. "Do I look like an 'aunty' to you?"

"Then what am I supposed to call you?!"

"Hm… let's see… how about… mother-in-law?"

"That's not any better age wise!"

"Ahem… in any case, you still have not answered my question. You are not truly tied to Kai Kai. So why are you by his side still?"

"Well…" Lin Luo gave a sigh. "The truth is… I was exiled from being a Twelfth Seraphim a long time ago. They sealed my powers and cast me out of Celestia, and now, I can no longer use True Lightning. Divine Lightning was all the power they left me, and now your son stole it, so I'm stuck here."

"I see… well, have you ever considered… rejoining the Twelfth Seraphims?" Qing Ruo Lan asked, and Lin Luo arched an eyebrow in confusion.

"… What?"

"You know my son's power very well. With his strength, defeating all of the Twelve-Winged Seraphims is no problem. He can easily get you your power back, you know. All you have to do is open your mouth to ask him. He may seem cold on the surface, but he's quite kind and generous deep down. Especially since you have traveled with him for a bit now… I'm sure he will help you."

"… I don't want his help," Lin Luo muttered stubbornly, and at this, Qing Ruo Lan could only sigh.

"Well, it's your loss, I suppose."
