Chereads / Psychotic Researcher's Awakening / Chapter 21 - Soul Decay Poison

Chapter 21 - Soul Decay Poison

The bathroom was very luxurious by design. Tiny light spirits were placed symmetrically in a beautiful flower pattern over the water surface in order to light up the room.

The water was as translucent as jade glittering like the night sky. It was a very beautiful scene.

"Should i heat up the water?"

"Yea…." Asteria nodded with a unfocused look in her eyes. She looked drunk.

"Don't sleep, let me wash you first atleast." I said while caressing her cheeks.

Since the pond was shallow I submerged her body inside the water and went into the water with her sitting on my right side leaning on the rock.

I washed her body thoroughly which caused small moans to come out of her mouth since she was still senstive because of the number of times I plowed her.

"hehe….. I didn't know you were that sensitive teacher…." I said before kissing her on forehead.

There was a long moment of silence. I was curious as I didn't know why she wasn't doing anything so I turned my head to look what happened.

"She's sleeping?...Let me check her pulse.....why is she so cold?" I was curious as to why she would fall asleep so I decided to check on her out of habit but got very surprised by my discovery.

"She….why does someone who cultivate has so little vitality in their soul?...this...…it is soul decay poison?"

The tone of my voice got colder the more I talked. The corner of my eyes turned into a frown as the aura around me got gloomier.

Soul decay poison is a variant of a very powerful poison called 'God-killing poison' which is a very poison capable of killing a celestial without them know what got to them.

The same is the case for soul decay poison. The consumer won't even have a clue of what they are suffering from and die cluelessly.

"But this poison should have been detected by teacher beforehand…. why did she still didn't conoct a medicine to cure herself? her cultivation progress should have also halted because of this….why did she not do anything about it?"

I stopped thinking about it amd brought Asteria into her bedroom.

Her bedroom was also very luxurious. It was a large dome shaped room with a chandelier on the top amd the bed was placed inde the room on an elevated platform with stairs. The engravings on the walls were very mysterious and complex and seemed to contain the secrets of life and energy itself. The aura of the room was full of vitality, if a mortal breathes just a mouhtful of the air in here, they can live for at least a thousands years.

I placed Asteria on the bed slowly and took out a thin velvet blanket from my soul space and covered her.

I placed my two finger on her forehead between her eyebrows and started making one-handed seals with my other hand.

A blackish bloody red plum mark appeared on my head. I made a final seal with my hand as a black color illuminated my body and a grey color matter started seeping out from corner of Asteria's eyes.

The grey matter instantly got sucked into the mark in my forehead without getting any chance to resist.

"heh.....cosmic bloodlines are whole another level eh?"

I smirked subconsciously as I reminded myself again how strong my is. It's a name I gave it myself since there was no one in the history who could obtain but me.

Some may ask why? Well…..no one is daring enough to devour the very entity that can devour the cosmos itself if the required conditions are met.

Mages and Cultivators go on and on about how cultivation is a practice that challenges the laws of heaven and earth and its a blasphemy against cosmos and shit like that. While it's true that this statement is true, it actually isn't that big of a deal to the cosmos itself if these puny beings cultivate because they neither have the guts nor the qualifications required to actually challenge the cosmos and rise above it.

Only people who are crazy enough to challenge their limits and rise against odds can actually be a enemy to cosmos's will.

Asteria slowly opened her eyes slowly and her gaze fell on me. A beautiful and gentle smile formed on her face as her eyes narrowed and curved into crescents from delight.

Her eyes seemed to contain the starlight itself. My eyes lost their focus as I stared into her eyes.

They were one of the most beautiful thing I ever saw in my life.

Short Story :-

Mei was crying alone as she pretended to sleep on her bed.

Since Yuan decided to leave Gu Tian almost everyday for her has bacome a countdown.

Day by day she could feel her soul cultivation decrease due to the psychological damage. But she persevered with the thought that one day he would return. As a being who had lived for trillions of years, she had a very tenacious mind and spirit.

Unfortunately, for a person as pure as her in matters of love the blow she got was a very big one.

That's the reason her soul cultivation regressed even though she has such a tough deposition.

"Mei wake up…I know you are not sleeping" A warm hand tapped on her shoulder jolting her awake.

Mei saw Yuan sitting beside her in his same white robe that he has been wearing since the day he came to Gu Tian. She asked softly "What happened Yuan?"

He handed her a book with the title 'Gaps in Cultivation method of '.

It was a book that dealt with the problems of Mei's cultivation art. A very detailed book that could only be written by someone with a intellect surpassing even that of celestials.

"I am sorry Mei Mei I can't do anything for you...even seeing your soul cultivation regressing I can't help you..."

He hugged her by her neck and held on tighly to her showing his vulnerable side to her. Something a proud entity like the child of stars 'Xue Jiu Yuan' would never do even to those he considered himself close with.

"I am sorry.....I am sorry...."

He kept mumbling words as Mei also held him tightly by his waist.

"Don't cry…..nothing can do us apart...this is just a small farewell...Don't worry i will be fine…."

Yuan continued to hold her tightly while sobbing to his heart's content after finally falling asleep on her shoulder.
