《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Rean and Kentucky were left aghast when that happened. It was one thing for the old man to tell that Rean's act of being a slave was fake. It was still within their realms of comprehension. However, how exactly did he find out about their connection? It was something achieved through the Soul Gem System, after all.
The Blue Luan was also surprised to hear that since it didn't expect the slave thing to be fake since they were talking about humans here. Humans had no power whatsoever on this planet, so for Rean to be a slave was well within Gulan's expectations. He truly believed that it was thanks to Kentucky that he had reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
Rean then took a deep breath as he checked the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.
[Access denied.]
Sure enough, the system didn't allow Rean to enter at all. As for Roan, he was watching everything through his connection with Rean. It's just that he didn't think he would be of much help in this situation. Roan could come out, but he didn't have the necessary strength to allow them to flee at all.
With that said, Rean gave up any ideas of escaping before jumping down from Kentucky's back as he said, "No wonder senior is a Stage Nine Demon Beast. To think that you could even feel the connection between Kentucky and I. That's true. Neither Kentucky nor I am each other's masters. Our link is more like that of a friendship, something that happened by pure luck when Kentucky was born."
The Phoenix nodded, not finding it strange at all. "That's what I thought. So, who are you? I'm one of the elders of the Demon Beast Alliance, so I have a very good grasp of the demon beasts roaming on the entire planet. If there's one thing I know, that's the fact that we absolutely don't have a Minokawa. But lo and behold, here's a Minokawa! A mutated one at that."

The old man Phoenix then spread his Spiritual Energy, which quickly entered Kentucky's body. A second later, he retracted it and said, "Sure enough, you weren't born on this planet. The Yin Energy in your body is slightly different from the natural Yin Energy present in this ice world. Well, it's not an ice world anymore, but you know what I mean."
That was something that Rean and Kentucky didn't know. However, they quickly received a message from Roan in the Soul Gem Realm as he told them, 'He's right. The Yin Energy on this planet is slightly different. However, I didn't expect anyone other than me to be able to perceive that. No, to be more specific, the Phoenix shouldn't have noticed the difference. It was the fact that he knew that Minokawas didn't exist in this world that made him check Kentucky's body to confirm.'
Rean and Kentucky soon understood what the Phoenix meant. Following that, Rean sighed as he nodded, replying, "That's true. We aren't from this planet."
Gulan was truly shocked now as he could not help but exclaim, "What?! For real?!" He still held some doubts about his grandfather's words, and there was a reason for that. "Our planet hasn't received a single visitor in tens of thousands of years! How come you two appeared out of nowhere? There's also the fact that your cultivation levels are far from being able to pull off something like that.
The Phoenix narrowed his eyes before asking, "Who brought you here, and why?"
Rean looked at Kentucky for a moment before looking back at the old man as he replied, "No one brought us here. We were teleported against our will instead." That wasn't a lie, so Rean could say it without a problem.

"Teleported against your will?" The old man Phoenix found it strange. Why would someone teleport a Minokawa and a human to their planet? "Explain."
Rean bitterly smiled before explaining, "Our planet got destroyed, so in order to escape, we had to use an ancient teleportation method back on our world. We didn't know whether it would bring us to another place or whether the place we teleported in would be far away from our home planet. By the time we realized that we were teleported, we were already on this planet."
It wasn't wrong to say that the Soul Gem System was an ancient method of teleportation. After all, it had been in existence for who knows how long. Ancient might not even be enough to describe it. On top of that, it covered the Soul Gem System's existence very well. After all, how could he and Kentucky come to this planet if not through teleportation? They simply didn't have the necessary cultivation to travel through space like the enemies who destroyed Sunkan Planet.
The Phoenix kept his Spiritual Sense tightly locked on Rean, trying to catch any signs of lies. However, it felt like Rean was seriously telling the truth, prompting to say, "Alright, then. I want you to tell me everything you know about this planet of yours, including its name. Perhaps I might know something." He also looked at Gulan before continuing, "You can come as well."
Gulan nodded before the old man enveloped Rean, Kentucky, and Gulan with his Spiritual Energy. In the next second, all four of them had already disappeared from the mountain top. Rean and Kentucky couldn't even make sense of what was happening around them. The old man's speed was so ridiculously fast that all they could see was just a hazy blur. When they finally stopped, they were in the middle of a small island located on a lake.
There weren't many things there, just a small hut and very simple furniture. Nevertheless, it was quite a weird place to be in, considering that the old man was a demon beast. In any case, neither Kentucky nor Rean said anything.
The Phoenix then looked at them before saying, "Alright, no one will be able to hear or see us in this place. Go ahead, tell me what you know. You better not lie to me."
Rean and Kentucky nodded before they talked about the world they lived in before. Of course, they only mentioned things not related to the Soul Gem System. Fortunately, the system's existence was just too hard to believe, so not talking about it didn't raise suspicion. And just like that, Kentucky and Rean's tale lasted several hours as it continued on through the night.
