The next day the blue-haired man brought in a bowl full of porridge with mushroom sauteed with vegetables. He placed the tray carefully on the table and shook the rolled up figure on the bed. "Hey it's time to eat,"
Xia grumbled and rolled over to the other side. 'As if I will eat his food. Darn it, I'm going to starve until he lets me out of here,' he thought to himself, biting his nails. Right then a small growling sound was heard. 'Stupid stomach, why did you have to deceive me now?' he softly caressed his sunken tummy.
"I heard that. Now get up and eat,"
"No! You blue-haired man, get lost, I don't even want to face you," Xia shouted from within the blanket.
A soft sigh was heard nearby. "Will you eat if I leave?"
Xia did not bother answering. Soon that man's footsteps retreated out and the door closed softly after him.
"Finally gone," Xia pu
Oli swiftly picked up Xia and placed him on the bed. His pulse was slow but his breathing was very week. Xia's body was flaming hot, hot enough to scotch his skin. "Did he want to starve himself to death?" He rushed to the door and threw it open. "Healer, call a healer here!!! Now!!!" he shouted loudly. One of the crews rushed to his command.In just minute, an old man in white walked inside, panting. Oli dragged him to the bed and gestured for him to check.The man wiped his sweat. "Ho—ly beast....let me take a breather," he panted."We don't have time. Check him now," he shouted out loud. "His skin is clammy and hot to touch and his pulse is very slow,"The old man shuddered and bowed. He sat down near the edge of the bed ad wiped Xia's clammy forehead with a towel. "He's burning up. We need to bring it down. Bring me a bowl of wine and a clean towel," he urged the crew man wait
Empty, cold, and alone.......Xia dazedly watched the empty walls. There was no one to keep him company here. He was safe inside the space, but every second he spent in it he couldn't help but remember his master.He rolled over and let his hands hang down. "Master.... why did you lave so soon? Is it because of me? Is it because I was a bad student," he sobbed softly.His tears rolled down his cheeks onto the sparkly clean floor. Like little dew drops, it got soaked in without any trace left behind. "I couldn't help you at all master...." Xia cried aloud.Day or night he did not know, but time passed on without him being aware. He laid on the bed unmoving, watching the familiar ceiling. After a while his stomach ached all of a sudden.He rolled over, hugging himself close. "Long....I'm hurt and sad, where are you?" he whispered sadly.His heart ached badly. He softly
The six followed after the nimble spider. It darted through many small crevices and small hole, but still they were able to easily follow along. It rushed past the streets and entered the docks. Only a huge ship was docked right in front of the planks."Xia...he must be in there," Aotian cheerfully rushed over. But the spider stepped shyly away from the boat. It moved side by side and tried to jump on it.With his sword, Aotian gently lifted it and placed it on the boat sides. It crawled up and into it.They all followed it in. But the spider did not go down the deck, rather it ran across and climbed on the other side of the wooden boat. It anxiously moved side to side anxiously glancing at the open ocean.Long Ki stepped forward and held onto his brother's shoulders. "Xiao Tian, it looks like your lover was taken away through sea,"Aotian growled at him and swiftly
Two hours..... For bloody two hours Xia had to act like he was asleep. The worse was that the scar faced man already knew he was awake, yet he was doing 'this and that' with Hua Jung right next to him. Xia silently bit the duvet, holding back his tears. 'Long, I'm being bullied. My poor ears have been assaulted by their torturous act. Darn it when will they leave I have to enter the pearl space,'He heard a low moan next to him. He silently held back his tears of agony. 'my poor dragon soul, I think I understand your pain now only.'Soon enough she heard soft snores. 'Is it over? Is it done?'"Enough acting. Go to sleep for really this time. Staying up too late is not good for you," the scar faced man said with a smile on his face.Xia peaked out and glared at him. "Why didn't you leave? My poor ears are bleeding,""Then put some medicine on it." he laughed so
Yukiya sighed. It had already been twenty-four hours since they had left them. Night had come and gone, and she was still stuck inside the shield. She tapped on it and sighed. "This is so annoying. So you know? I used to set up a shield just like this for my son whenever I leave town. I thought it would keep him safe but.....now that I'm experiencing it. It feels like a prison.""No one will have such a fancy prison life," the ghoul softly said, gesturing to the half bit peach in her hand.Yukiya scoffed and took another bite out of the juicy fruit, "how is this fancy? It's a necessity. I'm the mother of his child, of course he has to provide for me. That bastard, just talking about him brings a bad taste in my mouth" she tossed the peach pit and stomped on it. The Little egg pitifully nudging her leg again and again without any rest. The red core of the egg silently watched the remaining peach in her hand. "This..You can't eat
"LET ME OUT!" Yukiya shouted once again. The ghoul outside sighed. "Young miss, I can't deactivate this shield. Only your man can do that. Please don't make me repeat myself," he whispered kindly."Repeat my ass. You bullshit. Open this right now or call that bastard here I will knock some sense into him," Yukiya glare at him.The ghoul sighed deeply. "I'm helpless. Even I'm not sure where he is,'"Then go find him. I need him here right now. How dare that bastard trap me here?""But he did it for your own safety,""Safety? I don't need that. I'm a sky level cultivator. It's not like I'm useless fiddle. I can take care of myself VERY WELL," Yukiya shouted, banging the shield loudly. All of a sudden she felt something soft nudge her leg. She glanced down to see her little egg nudging her softly. She picked him up and caressed his dry surface. "Baby, it's time to g ba
Bright light.....that was Xia's initial thought as he woke up. He slowly blinked open his tired eyes. Unfamiliar ceiling was what he first noticed. "A different inn?" he softly mumbled as he sat up, supporting his weight. The window next to him was side open, letting in bright sunlight. "When did I lose consciousness though?"After he dropped off Felia and Farah he swiftly jumped over roof and got to the spot. From his vantage point, all he could see was dust and flames. Xia frowned. He was not able to see Long Aotian anywhere. He was about to jump down when all of a sudden he lost consciousness.Xia scratched his head, trying to remember more. "Why did I faint like that? Was I drugged?" he sniffed her small red clothes but there was a residual scent on him, only that strong perfume was left behind. "Then, maybe our inn was destroyed in the struggle," he whispered. He slowly woke up, changed his clothes and walked out of the do
"Yukiya…what are you doing here? Are you hurt anywhere?" Long Ki pulled his stunned wife and checked her all over. She did not have any wounds, but her tears kept rolling down her face. He gently wiped them away and kissed her red eyes. "What is it, dear? Why are you crying? Did anyone bully you?""You…you did. You bullied me," Yukiya sobbed out loud and jumped into his embrace."Huh? But I didn't bully you though," Long Ki mumbled, soothingly caressing her head. 'why did she have such an absurd thought?' he thought as he softly hugged her trembling shoulders. On her back, he felt something vibrating violently. "What's in your bag?"Yukiya pulled her head from his chest and sniffed loudly. "It's our child…" she said guiltily."you brought our child here. Yukiya, what were you thinking," Long Ki swiftly pulled the bag from her shoulders and carefully cupped the incub
