The redhead duo looked a bit unwilling to admit their loss, but after thinking about their recent experience, they swallowed up their pride and walked up to Lun Yuo.

"Here, take the rings, it doesn't matter to us that much anyway as you see after today; we will never lose to you again!" Castiel spoke with confidence while tossing the Ring of sun and Ring of steel towards them.

These rings, while only looking ordinary, their effects are anything but normal. The Ring of Sun, no matter what kind of Qi a cultivator uses, will always add sun Qi with their attacks. And The Ring of Steel makes one Qi denser and stronger.

"Enjoy your victory for now because once we control our divine blood, you can only taste the dust from our feet!" While walking off, Lauren shouted to the trio.

Elder Run, once the two got back to her, lifted them in the air and took off speeding into the distant sky.

"Once their ego inflate just a bit they're right back to their old ways. Elder Zhun, I'm going back with Kazami and Kuzumi to the Star family." Lun Yuo informed him while also sneakily taking glances at Kazami and as if this were common, Elder Zhun casually nodded and replied;

"Yes, Young Princess, I'll relay your stay as well. I'm sure your parents will come tomorrow since you'll most likely spend the night there." Taking his cue to leave, Elder Zhun flew off into the air.

Lun Yuo walked over and grabbed Kazami's hand; then, the trio strolled over to Elder Jon, who was not far away from them, listening on everything.

"Alright, Elder Jon, we're ready to leave and tell our parents the good news."

Kazami told, and Elder Jon nodded, taking them all into the sky to go back to the Star Family.

…

Landing right back in front of their leading family house's silver gates, Elder Jon had already vanished from their sight.

"Alright, I'll go on ahead and see where mother and father are, as I'm sure you have something on your mind Yuo." Walking up towards the house, Kuzumi left no room for a response as Lun Yuo was slightly shocked she was able to guess her emotions despite keeping her best to hide it.

"So, what is it? I also notice when Elder Jon was taking us back, you kept on sneaking glances at me, plus your Qi felt a little chaotic. Is everything alright?" Questioned Kazami with a little bit of worried expression etched on his face.

"Well, it's just... during the trials the second stage, I truly thought I was going to die, and that would be it, no second chances." Mustering up the courage, Lun Yuo started to talk about what was on her mind.

"And the third stage I saw a lot of disturbing illusions of you guys trying to attack me or even kill me. Even with my divine abilities helping, I started to fear will there ever be a day I will be left in the dust and die without ever seeing you again?" Kazami patiently waited for her to finish, and Lun Yuo looked up at Kazami with determined passion in her eyes.

"There are many things in this life I want to experience with you. That's why-that's why! I'll never stop moving forward! From now on, I'll stand right next to you no matter what!!" Finishing Lun Yuo was staring straight into Kazami's eyes unblinking. Kazami, however, slightly sighed while smiling, walked up to Lun Yuo, and suddenly hugged her.

"You know Yu, when I was on the verge of death, I thought of all my dreams and aspirations in life, and never seeing you again was something I can never imagine. From childhood until now, you were always standing with us no matter where we go so;" He held on to Lun Yuo shoulders and looked straight into her eyes this time.

"So, I will never let you fall behind us! From now and into the future, no matter what happens, we will always have each other backs, and one will always support the other; we will never be weak only strong!" Stunned for a moment, Lun Yuo vigorously nodded her head and pumped up her little fist shouting;

"Right! We will always stay strong!" Smiling with honest joy, Kazami had then gotten a sudden idea.

"Oh, and one more thing.." Kazami went in close and kissed the unsuspecting Lun Yuo on the forehead!

"A kiss on my fair maiden to seal the promise." Despite being corny, Kazami still without shame, sweet-talked the blushing Lun Yuo.

"Ah! Ah! You! How could you just..."

Blushing like crazy, she had her head in her hands while Kazami laughed it off and took her hands, not even the least bit embarrassed of his actions.

"Now let us go and meet up with my parents shall we cause; KUZUMI! You can come out now." Walking out from a blind spot of the gate, the two wouldn't notice that Kuzumi had a smug smile.

"AHH! WHY WERE YOU WATCHING!" Lun Yuo screamed, extremely embarrassed that Kuzumi witnesses their intimate moment.

"Tch! Really brother, no tongue action, not even a peck on the lips?"

Kuzumi teased the two while Kazami was rolling his eyes at his sister's lewd comment.

"You know, even if you move like five feet away from me, I can still feel you. There absolutely no way I'll show something so intimate to my twin."

Kazami told her which prompted Kuzumi to walk right behind Lun Yuo saying,

"Oh, and why not? We're not like ordinary twins, brother! Our bonds have us sharing everything, so why can't I see it?" Practically at this point, Kuzumi and Kazami had smushed Lun Yuo in between them not realizing her growing blush

"I-I-I I'm not talking about this anymore!!" Grinding her teeth, Lun Yuo broke of Kuzumi entrapment and hurriedly dragged Kazami inside the mansion.

"Though I wish you would take the initiative to be more intimate like that with me..." Grumbling Kuzumi chased after the two.
