Chapter 9 - UNREASONABLE

"Whip him!" The heavenly king said

Fengge knelt down in the heavenly realm's main hall as they whipped him with not just any whip but with the God of Weather's whip. The god of weather was one of the senior gods and her cultivation was far higher than his. Her whip was made up of the four elements. Fire, Ice, Earth and Air. Her whip had always been very colorful but the pain of her whip was gratifying.

Fengge almost felt like he was about to faint. He couldn't bear it any longer. Looking at his father, his face showed no sign of pity or remorse for him.

"Your Highness, enough. He is still the crown prince of the heavenly realm." The ice god said

Turning to face him, the heavenly king saw god of ice showed no emotion on this face. The god of ice was one of the important gods in the heavenly realm because of his powers. The mortal realm needed water to survive. He couldn't afford to get into a fight with the god of ice now that the nature guardian was out. He had to take a step back for the greater good.

"Stop. Get out of here" The heavenly king said

Fengge coughed out blood. His whole body felt so weak. He had heard his father saying something but he was too weak to comprehend. Just as he was about to faint, he felt strength surging through his body. Getting up, he passed the god of ice whose face still remained emotionless. Of course he knew it was the god of ice who had helped him.

Immediately Fengge left the room, the heavenly king looked at the god of ice. He had helped Fengge using blood bending. An ancient dark magic by the ice clan. Only gods that became the god of ice could yield that power. It became a taboo against the heavenly realm. A forbidden dark arts because it would corrupt your power and turn you into a demon. But the god of ice used it without restrictions and the heavenly king allowed it only because the present god of ice was the last of the ice clan.

Fengge was laid to rest on his bed. His back was bleeding so he could only lie on his stomach. Suddenly the room felt very cold. Fengge felt chills running through his body. He wasn't wearing any shirt. Looking near the bed, he saw his robe lying there. Just ad he was trying to get it, someone picks it up. Looking up Fengge gasps when he sees the god of ice.

"Godfather, forgive me if I can't greet you" Fengge said

"No. No need to do that. Here. I brought you medicine. Let me rub it to you" The god of ice said

Fengge laid still as the god of ice rubbed the medicine on his back. The coldness of his hands could still be felt even though he was wearing a glove. The god of ice even though his personality was cold had always been good to him.

"Hmmh" Fengge groaned as the medicine touched his back. His back had been peeled raw by the whip.

"Sit up." The god of ice said

Fengge sat up as the god of ice transferred energy to him. The god of ice removed his gloves allowing the dark powers in his body to leak out. Finally, he had gotten rid of that stupid gloves. Normally, he wouldn't dare transfer his dark powers to anybody but Fengge needed it. His dark powers were extremely weak because he didn't practice dark arts.

Fengge inhaled as the dark powers entered his body. It seemed like he was growing stronger and he like the feeling of power. Suddenly, dark emotions started running through him. The emotions getting stronger and stronger.

"Channel your good powers and breathe in" The god of ice said immediately feeling that Fengge couldn't control it.

Fengge took a deep breathe channeling his good powers through his meridians. The dark emotions started disappearing making Fengge feel relieved. If his father ever found out he was practicing dark magic, he would be kicked out of the heavenly realm or even worse, he would be killed.

"Here. Wear your shirt" The god of ice said

"Thank you god father." Fengge said wearing his shirt. Wow. His back was healed.

"You see, dark magic can help you heal faster. But be careful, you can get mad if you don't concentrate when cultivating it." The god of ice said

"No. You don't need to worry. I will never cultivate dark magic. But god father, why do I have dark magic on my body? I have always wondered why I could possess both dark and good magic in my body at the same time" Fengge asked

Showing no sign of emotions on his face, the god of ice turned away.

"Stop asking stupid questions. How can I know that? I will get going now." The god of ice said leaving.

Just as he was about to pass through the door, the heavenly king comes in. The two of them stop looking at each other. The god of ice walks by the heavenly king without saying a single word. Walking in, the heavenly king sees Fengge sitting down. He hated coming into this room. It had been the late heavenly queen's room.

Fengge stands up when he sees his father. His father who always had a cold aura around him even worse than the god of ice. One would think they are brothers.

"Greetings heavenly king" Fengge said kneeling as the heavenly king examined him.

"How did you heal so fast? What was the god of ice doing here?" The heavenly king asked showing no emotions on his face.

"God father brought me some medicines and transferred energy to me" Fengge said

Before Fengge came expect it, the heavenly king slaps him hard across his face causing him to stagger backwards.

"You fool! You dare to practice dark magic here in the heavenly realm?" The heavenly king asked

Kneeling back once more, Fengge takes a deep breathe.

"I dare not. Godfather saw that my injuries were severe and transferred some of his powers to me. Besides, I have always had these powers but have never dared to use them because I dare not cause father such harm. I swear on my late mother's picture" Fengge said

"Shut up!" The heavenly king said slapping him once more.

"Father, why don't you believe me? I would never dare to do such a thing. Why have you hated me all these years and treated me like an outsider when I am your son? Why?" Fengge said. His mouth bloody from the slap his father gave him.

"You!" The heavenly king said wanting to slap Fengge again when someone appears holding his hand.

"How dare you? Heavenly king, I have stayed quiet but I wouldn't allow to my..." The god of ice said stopping himself

"Ice god, do you know that I can have you beheaded? How dare you interfere with something that isn't your business?" The heavenly king asked

"Isn't my business? Don't make me laugh. Heavenly king, you know exactly why you should never dare to touch Fengge. If you do, I will make you pay. Don't taste my patience" The ice god said

"You!" The heavenly king said angrily. The ice god had never been one to deal with so easily but to dare to challenge his authority in front of Fengge.

Fengge looked at both of them dumbfounded. First because the ice god just dared to hold his father's hand and second because they looked like they were about to kill each other. It was no news to anyone the feud between the heavenly king and the ice god but no one knew the reason behind their feud.

"Ice god!" The heavenly king said

The fire god entered seeing the heavenly king and the ice god at each other's throat. Quickly standing in the middle, the fire god separated them.

"Stop fighting. We better leave before you all say something that you will regret" The fire god said looking Fengge who was still kneeling down.

The ice god turns to Fengge raising him from the ground. If fire could kill just by looks, the heavenly king would have already killed the ice god. The ice god showed no respect towards him.

"Fengge, pack your things. You will be going to the mortal realm to investigate a rumor we heard. They say the mortal king is looking for an immortal flower. You must stop him immediately." The fire god said

"Yes. He should leave. I don't want to see him here." The heavenly king said

"Heavenly king, Fengge is the crown prince of the heavenly realm and his place is in the heavenly realm but if you don't want him in the heavenly realm, he can always come to the dark realm" The ice god said

"You must be mad. Raving mad. There is no way I will allow Fengge to go to the dark realm." The heavenly king said and the ice god smiled devilishly.

"Okay, we have to go. Fengge, pack up. We will tell you what's next later" The fire god said dragging the heavenly king away.

The heavenly king stopped in his steps and looked back seeing the ice god talking to Fengge.

"Are you okay?" The ice god asked

"God father, you shouldn't have gotten into an argument because of me. What if father decides to take it out on you?" Fengge asked holding the ice god's sleeve

"Don't worry. But the god of fire is right. You need to leave the heavenly realm for some time until your father cools down. The mortal king may recognize you seeing as he has already met you. You must not come in contact with him." The ice god said looking at Fengge.

"Don't worry about me. I have gotten used to the way father treats me. God father, be rest assured. I will do my best" Fengge said

"I'm sorry. For not protecting you. I thought if I didn't interfere, your father might start loving you. But now, everything is going to change. I wouldn't allow him to hurt you again" The ice god said making Fengge surprised.
