" was chinqu , here last night ?"
"yes your highness , her ladyship came to see you off but you had already gone off to bed "
" she could have come before I left the palace ,why come here ?"
"I ....I"
Hua Que smirked a little before leaving Meng Yao hanging .The two had breakfast and left for the mortal realm . Hua Que had been assigned a duty as the future god of the universe . He had to go to the human realm for three years , to retrieve a part of the soul that belonged to the previous gid of the universe . After that he would have all his memories . It will then be upon him to go to the abyss to cultivate himself ."Are the mortals always like this ?" He asked in a disgusted tone ."Like how ?". Hua Que's face twisted in confusion as he looked around . A couple fighting , beggars on the side path , children running all over , hawkers yelling here and there , carriages every where , soldiers everywhere ... it just looked messy . "Your highness , this is how the mortals have lived for thousands of millenniums. "
" I must be honest , I'm glad I've never come here . is this where people say they are coming to have fun ?" "He asked with a crunched face . After they had settled down , and rested after having a meal , Hua Que wanted to get down to business immediately .But Meng Yao wasn't up to that idea . "Your highness we do not have any lead . Maybe we should wait for an auspicious day ." " No , I'm ... What is that voice " Hua Que suddenly became alert , so did Meng Yao . However Meng Yao couldn't here anything . "your highness , I can't hear anything ." They both became confused . Alarmed and worried that sound might be something inauspicious , Meng Yao adviced Hua Que to just try and ignore it .
However much he tried , Hua Que felt as if the voice was enticing him . He even tried locking himself away and meditating but he just couldn't focus . He was beyond frustrated . That night , Hua Que sat at the window chewing on a grass . "Highness , I've tried searching on whatever may be the problem with you but there's nothing I could find . ".
Sighing loudly , Hua Que shifted his concentration back to the stars . " then we'll have to do with it . Have you found anything on the piece ?" .
" Not really but I've been going through the things that we took before leaving and I got the soul binding scepter. "
" that's good enough , we'll start tomorrow . I want to get this over with ."
" We have three years your highness . no rush"
" Don't narrow your thinking to the mortals . Three years pass just in a blink of an eye lid . I need to have already completed my cultivation ."
Bewildered by the prince's modesty , Meng Yao could only accept his order and go to rest.
