Within a split second, Jiang was now standing at the palace doors of the goddess of death. With little to no patient, Jiang grabs a guard by his neck and demands he calls out the goddess of death.
"Where is your master?"
The guard struggles for air and tries to break free from Jiangs grasp. Just then the palace doors bursts open. Out comes the goddess of death with her maids. With her high pitched voice and revealing outfit, she calls out to Jiang.
"Well, if it isn't the water god. I've been expecting you. Follow me."
Jiang quickly throws the guard to the ground and follows the goddess of death into the palace. Dark and dreary unlike his palace, the water god could sense death and evil in every corner of the palace. After silently following the goddess of death for a good few minutes, they were now entering a large room that looked like a throne room. Within a split second the goddess of death dismisses her maids and motions for the water god to take a seat at the large table a good few feet away from her. With his patience running thin, Jiang finally breaks the silence.
"You should know why I'm here. So you can cut out the unnecessary talking."
The goddess of death chuckles at Jiangs remarks and crosses her long legs before taking a sip of whatever was in her glass cup in front of Jiang.
"If you're here about the nightmare demons, I only did it to tease her. You've already killed my little demon so I don't know why you even bothered coming here."
The more the goddess of death talked, the angrier Jiang got. With his clenched fist he whips his hand out and throws out a gush of water blades at the goddess of death. Within seconds the goddess of death chanted a spell and was able to build a barrier in time to counter the attack.
"This is your warning, lay a hand on her again and I will have your head."
The goddess of death bursts into a loud laughter with some cackling now. With her loud laughter the goddess of death quickly stands up and slowly walks towards Jiang.
"Don't tell me...you're fond of that human girl now? You poor.... poor man."
Jiang furrows his brows in anger and slams his hands onto the table and shouts out warnings at the goddess of death.
"I'm warning you Xi-Wang! Don't test my patience! The only reason I haven't taken your head yet is due to our past relationship!"
The goddess of death stops in her tracks and was now no longer smiling. With her beating heart racing and her palms growing sweaty Xi-Wang glares back at Jiang.
"Only during times like this would you call me by that name! We grew up together! Did you really not know that I loved you?! Or were you playing dumb?! I was always with you! And yet! You....you fell for a human of all things! What did that woman Chenguang have that I don't?!"
"I have told you before that I only see you as a sister Xi-Wang. Now and always, and that will never change!"
Xi-Wang clenches her fist and holds back her tears. Biting down on her lips; the goddess of death was now angry. Without holding back, the goddess of death screams out loudly.
"Let's severed our ties today! You are nothing to me as I am nothing to you!"
Without hesitation, Jiang agrees.
"That's fine with me. In the future should you overstep your boundaries again, I will take your head."
As Jiang was about to turn to leave the goddess of death smirks; under her breath she calls out to him.
"I bet you don't even know what you're getting yourself into. That human woman won't bring you happiness. She didn't in her last life, she won't in this life too."
Jiang stops in his tracks and questions Xi-Wang. Holding himself back he screams back at Xi-Wang.
"What do you mean by that?!"
With nothing to lose, Xi-Wang tells Jiang everything.
"The soul of Chenguang will never return! She's been reincarnated already! You can wait all you want, but unless you take the soul of Chenguang and force it back into her body she will never wake up! She's much closer than you think!"
Jiang pauses for a moment and tries to work out the information that Xi-Wang was telling him. Within a split-second Jiang had already broken down the clues.
"Are...are you saying Qian Lan is the reincarnation of Chenguang?!"
Finishing her vent and ignoring Jiangs question. The goddess of death whips out her hand and demands for Jiang to leave.
"I think I've told you plenty, now get out."
