CHAPTER FIFTY TWO
"Brother?"
Feifei jumped!
He reflexively pulled out from Yuan's hold and retreated to the front door.
Yuan frowned as Feifei shy away from him.
Putting distance between them.
Looking towards the mountain path, Feifei saw Fanfan. With her unofficial partner.
"What are you doing here?" Yuan scowled at Fanfan with impatience.
Feifei can feel again the booming savage violence seeping out from Yuan.
Taking the opportunity while Yuan was distracted, Feifei swiftly closed the door.
He was about to dash when Yuan was faster than him and caught his waist.
Feifei was stopped from his frantic flight.
With Feifei's back firmly pasted to his front, Yuan tightened his arm around Feifei's waist.
Feifei's body stiffened.
Yuan buried his face in Feifei's hair. Inhaling deeply his unique scent.
With his lips touching his earlobe, he whispered darkly in Feifei's ears that only he can hear.
"Stop. You will never get away from me. Not in this life." he murmured in a thick voice filled with emotion.
Feifei shook.
"Brother?"
Yuan is agitated, and is seething with fury!
He has no patience to deal with his sister right now!
He has been longing and aching for Feifei for a long time and he has just reached his boiling point!
He doesn't even know what happened or what went wrong!
This is not the kind of reunion he imagined it to be. How did everything start like this!
"Go home!" Yuan snapped. His face is livid with uncontrolled fierceness and violence.
His eyes blood red with barely restrained ferocity and rage.
Yuan glared viciously at the man beside his sister. Wanting to swat this nuisance like a fly!
Feifei whimpered.
Yuan instinctively looked down at Feifei.
Feifei pouted.
"Yuan, I hurt." Feifei made an effort to dislodge Yuan's hold on his waist.
Yuan immediately let go of Feifei's waist.
He maybe infuriated about Feifei avoiding him but he would never hurt her.
He can hurt anyone.
Even kill anyone.
But never her.
She is his only exception to everything.
His only reverse scale.
All else needs to set aside for her.
Seeing Yuan let go, Feifei immediately fled.
As if the very devil is on his heels.
A devil personified.
-----------------------------------------
Yuan wanted to chase after Feifei but only clenched his fists tight and gritted his teeth as he glowered at Fanfan and the man beside her with a sadistic, malevolent force.
He just recently lost control of himself.
He hasn't even stabilized himself yet.
His emotions are still faltering, wavering
His ability still fluctuating, deviating.
He still has a threadbare control over his overwhelming emotions and overbearing ability.
Only a frayed rope is holding his sanity together.
Yuan looked at the man cowering behind his sister.
His face is twisted with cold-bloodedness and cruelty that both Fanfan and the man is choked by extreme fear and the sudden rush of terror.
"You." Yuan snarled at the man.
"Go to our house. Right now, I'm in a very precarious state of mind. Don't test my tolerance." Yuan advised.
Then left with heavy steps.
Both Fanfan and the man collapsed heavily to the ground.
Both of them were shaking like a leaf, terror stricken by Yuan's disposition.
-----------------------------------------
Yuan stumbled and coughed out blood.
If unleashed, the price he has to pay for this terrible power, is life.
If Feifei didn't stop him, it will be his death.
His Master is right.
Emotions can affect how one wields his ability.
It can be his downfall.
It can be his source of strength.
A man with tyrannical power, if influenced by emotions, needs someone who can anchor him.
Someone who can stabilize his sanity and rationality.
Keep his balance.
Or be alone and indifferent all his life.
And now he understands.
Feifei and him are tied by fate.
Good.
He wouldn't want it any other way.
-----------------------------------------
Why is Yuan so filled with malevolence? Feifei whined as he was nearing the base of the mountain.
Odd. He really feels a strong affinity with Yuan.
His darkness terrifies him but not enough to smother the fire between them.
Rather, it keeps them.....burning?
But if Yuan knows he is a man hiding in women's clothing...
Well, Yuan would certainly terrify him then.
What would his wrath be like? Feifei shuddered.
The pain he experienced in the last two months is something he will never forget.
That is enough.
Its impossible between us.
He will stay far away from him.
Far away.
-----------------------------------------
Glancing at the almost bald mountain, Feifei grieved.
The spiral just appeared for a bit then gone in a blink.
But.
Looking at the devastating destruction around him, he felt a surge of inexplicable feelings.
If the spiral continued its path, it will devour everything and anyone.
It would either blow everything to dust.
Burn them to ashes.
Or hurl away shredded pieces.
He can still see how Yuan's spiral uprooted trees and blew some to smithereens.
Some were incinerated to ashes.
Some thrown away in shreds.
The spiral lifted boulders and turned some into dust.
Some broken down boulders were hurled far away.
The spiral pulled out mountain animals and some were roasted into char.
Some mangled parts were hurled away.
Some were blown up.
A part of the mountain was obliterated.
A huge chunk of it vanished and lost.
Wiped away into fine powder.
Only empty space remained.
If the spiral stayed a bit more, will there be anyone left in this town?
Facing the village, he can't help but shiver.
If the spiral started in the village, it would have been a mass grave right now.
Flesh and mangled parts.
Broken houses and torn parts.
Blood will certainly flood this village.
It will be utter annihilation.
The village will be no more.
-----------------------------------------
Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Feifei stared in shock and amazement at the number of socially aware villagers crowding the pathway.
Seeing the mass of curious villagers, Feifei was scared to evade and flee for his life.
Crouching down and concealing himself behind the boulders and uprooted trees, Feifei barely breathed.
There's the gossipmongers. If they catch wind of his affairs, he will be drowned by spit!
He's been told these gossipmongers are very skilled in many areas!
They have heightened senses!
They can quickly perceive the latest stimulating revelations.
They can scent out scandals and juicy secrets.
They are master assassins!
They specialized in character assassination.
If he is not careful, their gossip can bury him alive without him knowing it.
Mother!
Better run for his life!
