Rou Lang was trapped in a void filled with complex mysteries, of images, of memories. They were jumbled and shuffled that she didn't know where is the beginning and the end.
For the fact, she was inside her consciousness. Her soul is. Then a voice of someone familiar woke her up.
"Awoooooo... wake up... wake up... awooooooo...."
Gasp!
Then light filled her vision and she can move. A face was looming over her. It was the face she feared the most. Yet also the face she loved the most. Her Master Levi was staring at her in curiousity. She swore she never saw his face that cute! Levi grinned when she awakes.
"Hi!"
She realized the awkward position they were in. He was sitting on her while holding her hands on the ground. It was the like the posture of a couple about to do something. Her face turned tomato red.
"Wha.. what are you doing?"
He smirked. "I'm just checking if you are okay. Why? Do you think I will do something to you? Don't be so green-minded. I might actually do so..." His face came closer until their eyes were only inches apart.
She literally felt her head about to smoke from too much heat. Her face is blushing too hard as she watched those lips about to come in contact.
It was slow, and most romantic scene. She just... closed her eyes to savor whatever will come.
But then... nothing came.
"Huh?" She opened her eyes. She saw Levi moved closer until their noses kissed. But then he laughed.
"Hahahahaha... I can't believe you actually want me to kiss you. Hahahahaha... that was so sweet of you. Hahahahaha..."
This time, her ears are smoking real hot because of embarassment. She gritted her teeth.
"You!..."
Levi froze. Before he knew it, a strong push propelled him away as he was thrown like a basketball. He stared at the lady in shock.
Rou Lang's nose was giving off huffs as she slowly got up. Her eyes were murderous.
"How... dare... you!!" She pointed her finger to him. He froze.
"W... wh... why? Wh- what have I done?"
"You dare trick me!"
But then, the only robes covering her fell down, revealing her nosebleed-inducing sexiness.
"Huh?" She looked down. The robes of Levi is the only piece of cloth covering her. But now it fell. She realized her body was naked exposed... in front... of... a... boy...
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
Her voice echoed very loud across the entire plain of whiteness.
She opened her eyes once more and saw Levi staring at her with blood dripping from his nose.
"YOU DARE!..." She hastily picked up the robe and covered herself.
"Where is my clothes?! You dare remove my clothes while I was sleeping! You pervert! My image of you is completely shattered!! What kind of master will undress his disciple while she is unconcious?! You might be the only one who have guts to do that!!"
"No no, you're wrong. I don't have guts since I am a spirit. Furthermore, you are a soul right now. Naturally, you are naked. Unless your clothes have souls too, they can't accompany you all the time. So..."
"Shut up, you perverted donkey! Why am I wearing clothes then when I am last here?? You're a terrible liar, you pervert demon! I hate you! You faq!"
That's right! Curse him! Curse the pervert dem.. uh-oh..
Levi's expression changed. Veins started bulging on his face. And his eyes turns crimson red.
"What did you say? Can you please repeat it?"
His figure expanded and turned into a cloud of black mist. And his voice turns demonic.
Rou Lang watched as he grew in size. She trembled in fear and dared not utter a word anymore.
"I- I'm.. s.. sorry."
Gulp!
He neared her once more. She wants to step backwards but she realized her body is frozen.
"No. No, please."
But the dark mist devoured her.
The dark mist made of Levi's aura was chilling to the core. Due to the fact that he just acquired some of the Demon Queen's power, his mist itself is threat to any living soul. It has a thin concentration of death qi imbued with thicker sense of dark qi. Thus, you could imagine how unbearable torture he might have experienced for him to flood out the space with such evil presence. But despite him being evil, he was still half-human. There were two Levi after all. One is the demon Levi which is him. The other one is devoured by Rou Lang. In other words; his half is Rou Lang herself. Without her, all his humanly presence will be erased and only the evil demon will remain. If that were to happen, he would be no more different than any demons who sought destruction.
Rou Lang, her soul and body is utterly precious to him. And he won't do anything to destroy it. He just wants his half to accept him.
Inside the dark mist, she was shivering and won't dare open her eyes. But he encouraged her to do so.
"Open your eyes. I won't going to hurt you. So please open your eyes."
And she did. She was astonished at the sight of Levi with tears on his eyes. He no longer looked dangerous or threatening in any way. In fact, he looked no different from an innocent boy who missed his family. Rou Lang was touched for the first time. It pained her to see her Master not doing so well. The pain in his heart must be so unbearable.
She reached for him and pulled him into a tight hug, not minding if she is naked. She just wants to embrace him to say she is sorry for what she've done. She realized, Levi is still a young boy. And it was definitely unfair for him to become a demon. More unfair for him to be left by the person he trusted the most. That person is her, and her alone. She was his only friend. She was everything he've got. And he might be also afraid to be left alone. But now, she promised herself to be with him forever. To fill the hole in his heart which have been missing. To be a real friend who cares for him. Because the value of friendship is not something any power can compare to.
"Don't cry. I'm sorry. I won't threaten you again. It was my fault. It was so inconsiderate of me."
"*sob sob... but you said I'm a perverted demon. Rou Lang, am I that disgusting? Am I that hateful?"
She tightened her hold. "No, you're not. You are the cutest handsomest kindest boy I've ever met. And I don't regret being your disciple. It was an honor for me to meet such a good friend. I'm sorry for what I've said. I promise not to do it again."
She let go and reached his chin for him to look at her. He was much shorter after all. He stared at her wonderingly.
"Levi... you are the greatest thing that happened to me. If not for you, I would not have come this far. I don't know how to repay you. But there's one thing I can do."
"..." He watched her lips as they drift closer and closer.
"That is to love you." And she pressed her lips against his.

Gasp!
Huff! Huff! Huff...
She awoke in a strange setting. There was a ceiling. She was in a room, lying on an old mattress in a king-size bed. She looked around. The room was not that wide. And furnitures are more or less aged too. She seems to be inside an ancient house. Or maybe the owner just love collecting ancient artifacts.
"Where am I?"
She thought carefully. Then she remembered the last scene playing on her head. Gasp! She covered her mouth.
"Did I just?"
No no no. Impossible. It must be a dream. It must be a dream. There's no way it could be real. But when she thought about it again, she blushed. Did I really...?
Kwang!
The door opens and in came a massive entity. He was dressed in ragged clothes that does not simply fit for his huge body. His long hair is dry and dusty. And his eyes are crimson red. At first sight, he must be the definition of a demonic being. He entered in light footsteps. When he saw her awoke, he sweated.
He stuttered. "Esteemed lady, this humble servant hopes you are okay. This servant brought some food for your graciousness. Forgive for this is the only best I could buy."
He even kneeled and bowed lowly whilst offering a platter of a dish overflowing with fragrance.
Rou Lang salivated just looking at it.
"How much did you buy this?"
The latter gulped then spoke unsurely. "Th.. three hundred.. yuan."
"That much?" She wasn't exactly sure the value of one yuan but she knew it must be valuable.
"Yes. It's... the only money... this lowly servant has..."
Well, from the looks of it. This three hundred yuan food must be so expensive. He even gave her such present even though they only met now? What happened? Oh well, might as well ride in.
"Kuhum! You may stand now."
He hesitated before he stood up; still bowing low.
"What's your name?"
"Kyogai."
"Kyogai, can you tell me where am I? And how did I end up in your house?"
He lightly raised his head and spoke.
"First-Layer... of Heavens..."
"??"
