In a quiet park somewhere in City H

The morning breeze along with the gentle rays of the sun makes the morning air perfect and tranquil. A young boy sits calmly among the grass as he meditated while not minding his surroundings. Not too far from where he sits a bunch of people both young and old are watching the strange action of the boy.

However, this scene is not new to this area as a few days ago this same young boy is doing the same thing sitting in the same posture while he meditates through the day till the afternoon. People became baffled and wanted to draw closer to him, but the raw of men wearing black suits would stop them from approaching the young boy.

Ju-long Jiao arrives in City H with Mary Anderson, the princess of Bail. He is 12 years old and has accompanied Mary Anderson to the other side of the portal because he wanted to see her world. He became interested in the world which is suppressing the cultivation level of any cultivator who enters it to the core-forming realm.

Ju-long Jiao is a young prodigy. At the young age of 12, he is able to reach the primary stages of the gold core realm. This is the first in the empire of his world. His father who is the crown prince of the empire was really proud of him, along with his two mothers who love him dearly. Just like him, his sister is also very talented. However, she was not able to reach the gold core realm yet.

He is called the little prince of the empire, and many knew that he would be next in line for the throne after his father. His grandfather the current emperor dotes on him too much and has given him much love and care.

So when he told them that he wanted to travel to the other world, they were all worried.

A few months ago, a group of mages suddenly appear deep within the Daemon forest. These mages are very powerful and wore strange clothes.

Then they met his birth mother within the forest. His birth mother has treated the forest as her own garden, especially in a certain cave where she would always stay the whole day. He didn't know why but his mother always likes to hang out in that cave.

The meeting was accidental as the group seems to be hunting a huge and strong beast within the forest. The group didn't hold any malicious intent and they became friends with his mother from then on.

However, everything changes one day, and his mother took the group to the great city of Shin. The most advanced city in the whole empire.

From there he met the group.

He was really curious about the way the people dressed, their mannerisms, and the way they talk is different. Although he can understand their language for some reason, everything about them is new.

Then one day, he found his mother suddenly crying for no apparent reason.

Young as he is, he was a bit confused as to what is happening. And then the beautiful princess of the kingdom from the other world offers to take him there and he immediately agreed.

He has been happy staying in this world and he found the world peaceful and to his liking.

Unlike in the cultivation world where everyone is scheming against each other, this world is perfect for him.

It was already in the afternoon when he stops cultivating and absorbing the murky and meager amount of Qi in the air.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw the people in his surroundings began taking pictures of him. Although this has been happening for a couple of days now, he is still not used to this kind of fame.

In this world, he was called the Kung Fu child.

As he was walking to the black vehicle they called a car, a person suddenly approached him. The bodyguards surrounding him weren't even able to stop the person as he just flung them to the side easily. Ju-long Jiao looks at the man and sneer appears on his handsome young face.

"A cultivator, eh… such a nuisance." He muttered as he just watches the man approach him with his sinister grin and vicious intent.

The man suddenly extended his hand and said.

"What a good specimen… I will have you and your Qi. Don't resist, I don't want to take a corpse with me."

The vicious words from the man have taken the onlookers aback. Nobody was able to make a move due to fear. But some already called the police when they noticed the commotion. Others are taking video evidence of the lawless act of the man.

"I never thought that even in this world, there are also fools like you." The boy said and with a swift move of his hand, the man was suddenly flung to a tree a few meters away.

The man began to convulse after spewing a mouthful of blood then he fainted.

"Is he dead?"

"Did that little boy just killed a man?"

The audience began to murmur as they felt a little afraid.

"Don't worry, he just fainted." The boy said calmly.

"Please, tie him up before the police come…" said the boy to the bodyguards behind him.

They immediately move and tied the man. However, Ju-long Jiao was not worried anymore as he has already crippled the man's cultivation. He already felt the nasty blood on the man's body as it seems like the man practices blood cultivation methods.

After the fiasco at the park, the little boy went home followed by his group of guards, and saw Mary sitting on the table while talking to someone.

The man is currently showing something on a laptop screen.

When she saw little Ju-long enters, Mary showed a smile on her face.

"How was your practice?" she asked with a faint smile.

"I was okay… today was not that boring. Some fools wanted to take me. But I took care of him." He said calmly while taking a seat on the dining table.

"Haha… You really are a grandson of an emperor… Hey, after lunch, dress up. I want you to meet someone today." Mary said as he stood up and signaled the maids to prepare the food.

NXT Element Company building

The match between NXT Element Company and the Jinshulong squad spread wide and far. It became a sensation and many who watched the videos were enthralled at the sight of huge mechanical robots fighting against each other in a deathmatch.

At first, it was not very sensational as people are too much engage in the virtual world that the company made.

The project of Park Jiyong was already in its list of software to be integrated into the virtual world. The marketing teams are already swamped with work on the many projects in their hands. But of course, everything was in order with Susan Tang and Marie Eleanor Wilson leading the company.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is currently deciding on the date when he would go to the portal. He has set up some Qi and mana absorbing tanks in that area. He needs to make sure that those things are operational to maintain the balance and the protective power of the portal in both worlds.

As he was musing, Central suddenly interrupted him and said.

'Master you have some visitors.'

"Who?"

'It's the princess from the kingdom of Bail, Mary Anderson, and a boy… the boy is a cultivator.'

"Hmm? Really… I'll go meet them now."

Shin Jiao said as he stood up and walked out of the underground workshop. Meanwhile, Duan Ying floated to his shoulder and sat there comfortably.

"I'll go with you… I feel a bit bored today."

"Okay, I thought you would hole yourself in this place until you run out of juice…"

"I was actually planning to, but I think until I used up all the soul energy within my core, I can at least have fun for a while."

"That's good… by the way, how is Shi Anne Li doing?" Shin Jiao asked.

This is because, after checking the condition of both of Shi Anne Li's parents, who also lost a part of their memories, Shin Jiao let them have a wonderful time together and didn't bother with the family. However, Duan Ying who is always with Shi Anne Li saw everything.

"She felt really happy seeing her parents… How about you? Are you really not interested in her memories? I'm still preserving them you know."

"I'm not… her past is her past and I just want her to enjoy the present. This is the only thing I can do for her." Shin Jiao said after heaving a sigh.

He was not regretful or apologetic for his relationship with the two women. But he realized that he can't have both and not hurt the other in the process. So he decided to let Shi Anne Li go and focus his feelings and love for Susan Tang alone.

And so the two came out of the portal and appear in Susan Tang's office. The beautiful woman was too busy that she didn't even notice Shin Jiao appearing behind her.

With a gentle smile on his face, he carefully hugs the woman he loves and gave her a soft kiss on her soft cheeks.

"Shin!" Susan Tang was startled.

"I'm sorry… I just can't help but admire you…" he said as he bends down and kissed her on her soft lips while giving her a warm hug.

The small figure on ShinJiao's shoulder immediately flew away not wanting the see the lovey-dovey couple.

Suddenly, the door swung open and an angry figure rushes in.

"You rogue! Let go of my mother!"
