Xia pulled Long over to an abandoned alleyway and squatted down. With his spiritual energy, he cloaked their presence so that no one would notice them.Glancing at each other, they nodded and walked out. Xia held tightly onto his makeshift walking stick and Long walked by him, supporting him. "What is you plan?" he whispered softly.Xia glanced up at him with his head tilted, "I don't have a plan. Let's just follow that man, my instinct tells me that he might lead us to Raijin," he whispered softly.Long glanced at him sceptically. "but I don't smell Raijin on him... just some annoying herb,"Xia rolled his eyes and hobbled pass the crowd. Few humans noticed their pitiful state and threw few coins at them. Xia happily picked them up and blessed them. He cheerfully handed it to Long and hobbled around.Long smirked and bit his lips. 'ahh, why is my Xia so cute? I just want to take a bit off of him,' he thought, scratching his nose. He slowly leaned closer, but a bad stench assaulted hi
"They killed my wife and son," Lian Hua said, breaking the deadly silence. He glanced down at Xia and somehow controlled his tears. "I—I wanted revenge. They brutally murdered my son, how could I let them live," he whispered sadly.A small sob escaped Xia's mouth. He hid his face with his sleeve and tried controlling his emotions."Xia, are you okay?" Lian Hua whispered in a worried tone."I—I am fine. Something fell in my eyes," Xia turned around revealing his red eyes. To make his lie believable, he also rubbed his eyes red.Seeing this, Long felt his heart ache. He rushed over to his lover and hugged his shoulder and pulled him closer. "I'll help you," Long whispered softly, blowing onto his eyes. "Don't cry, baby," he whispered close to his ears that only they both could hear.Xia nodded, wiping his eyes rapidly.Convinced by his lies, Lian Hua continued his story. He was animatedly talking about his late wife, about their adventurous travels in the human realm.Xia listened to a
The bubble slowly sank down into the ocean. Bright blue light cascaded down through the shiny ice. Feng was fascinated looking at the sight.Even Bai Wren, who was wailing loudly, went quiet, glancing at the sight around with a curious gaze.“Bai look around you. we are in the ocean. Its daddy’s home,” he gently kissed the top of his small head.Bai Wren cooed and waved his hands around.“It will be so fascinating down there. Wait, do you think he can see like an aquatic beast?” he glanced at his mate.Feng just shrugged. “don’t know. Maybe he can. All I can see is darkness down below. Somehow, it’s quite terrifying…”“it’s not like my old home. The sun doesn’t reach down to the floor. Its dark and cold.. I kind of did not like it. But the sight of the aquatic beings down here is really spectacular,” Wren gently coddled Bai. “You are really going to like it,”As the bubble sank even lower, they all were surrounded by complete darkness. The coldness here was so elevated that even insid
Bai Wren was the hero of the moment. The whole family was gushing over him. Even his upright brother Ren was happily making childish reactions to make him laugh.Sitting on the couch, Wren silently laughed at this.“Stop laughing,” Feng subtly pinched his thigh. “They really love him…”“I know… but it’s kind of too much. Look at my silly second brother,” he gestured to Diago, who was literally rolling around on the ground shouting for Bai Wren to look.Feng chuckled. “They are adorable…” his smile seemed slightly awkward.Wren gave him a questioning look.“it’s just… I have never had brothers before. only Mu Zheng… its really nice to see a happy family,” he whispered ever so softly.Wren pulled him close and gently kissed the top of his head. “You are part of this family now. This is your family. They not only love Bai Wren, they love you too. You will see it in a few days.”Feng subtly wiped at his eyes. The last time he was with this family he was in his bird form and did not conver
Time passed but the icy north did not change. All year around the place was covered on transparent diamond-like ice crystals and the city remained unchanged.In the familiar household, Wren hurriedly searched through the cupboard. “I can’t find him,” he said in panic.“I didn’t find him here either. Oh god,” Feng panicked even more. ‘did you search under the bed?”“I did, I even searched the cabinets! He is not here!” Wren mumbled, biting his fingernails. “Do you think someone kidnapped him?”Feng went around searching for any clues. Their house did not have signs of break in. “I don’t think so. Do you think your mum came around and picked him up?”“It might be possible. let’s head to mum’s house,” he rushed out of the house. Just opposite to them was Hachin’s and Hua Roo’s place. Their door was closed. Most likely hau roo and Hachin had gone somewhere.“Come on, why are you just blanking there?!” Feng shouted.“Coming,” Wren swam after him.It has been one year since Bai Wren was bor
City of rene. Two years had passed since the battle and the once city that was in ruins was starting to come back alive. A particular house in the city was full of festivity. Red lanterns hung all over their walls and the whole place was decorated with red.A figure was seen running into the house cheerfully. She dodged her mother and her chiding relatives to run into a room inside the huge, newly built mansion.“Camilla? Did you run over here? Come sit,” Mu Zheng pulled her to the corner and made her sit on the bed. His red sleeves got caught under her.Camilla sat up freeing it. “I got something for you,” she handed the letter to him with an excited grin.“is it… is it from my master!” Mu Zheng excitedly picked it up and delicately opened it with a letter opener. His excited eyes skimmed through its content. “young master had his first crush. Aww, so cute. Young master Bai wren escaped out of their house and went to his crushes house. Isn’t that cute~” he cooed hugging the letter ti
Mu Zheng hugged Xu Da Ping tightly. This day was their wedding day but also their death day. Heh was sure of that. The last time a person of this cultivation invaded rene the elders were able to keep them busy and wren took them out.But this time they had no one. With Xu Da Ping’s cultivation if he tried to engage this man it was definite death.But his husband will not stand back and let anything happen to the Atul clan. He would fight back.Soo Mu Zheng decoded it was apt to die together. After all the oath has been taken. He will forever live and die with him.He felt Xu Da Ping’s body stiffen.“I won’t leave. Even if you beat me or scold me, I won’t leave. I’ll die with you. I don’t wish to live without you!” he shouted, hugging his waist tightly.Glancing up, he noticed that Xu Da Ping looked very distracted as he glanced up.Mu Zheng tightly pinched Xu Da Ping’s waist. ‘Why is he looking at him in that dazed state, huh!’The figure who was glowing a dark shade of golden, became
Wang Bushen listened to the tales the young man had to say about his son. Wren who was just a hundred years old met his mate feng when he was on a mission to save his friend. Sounded like his son fell in love instantly but both parties did not know they were each others mates.Soo their romance was very slow.“it’s true love. I’m happy he met the person who loves him with all his heart,” he whispered holding the letter tenderly.“Did you get any clue where he is?” Mu Zheng whispered softly. “I wish to meet my master too but he is not disclosing their location. my god son is almost two I wish to see him once so that he can remember my face well. He is my future young master I serve after all,” he mumbled with a sad sigh.“This letter… I smell sea water and cold spiritual energy. You said my son was raised on the oyster clan right. They are most likely in the northern cavern. It’s said to be cold throughout the year. The oyster clan elders rest there to cultivate.” He whispered, caressi
