Chapter 34 - (Part 8)

Yeying stared at the sky where the portal disappeared, his eyes widened by her last words. He smiled whispering "I'll find you, no matter where you are…" picking up his parasol he walked away. In an instant he stopped "How long are you going to watch?" he asked. From the shadows came a voice "I never watched! I just arrived here. Why are you so quick to sense everything? Tch! Such a pain." He complained. "I know it a lot better when you really arrived, back to the subject, did you find out?" Yeying asked. "Of course, the two rascals who were at her side 24/7 in the past. One is Shijei Enren and the other one is Senlin Nuwang." The voice replied. "I think corroding their palaces roofs wasn't enough!"

Yeying looked at the grass not speaking a single word. "Alright! You can go back." Yeying ordered. The voice warned "Hey~ don't think you can order me around. I'll topple this little city of yours in a blink of an eye. Yeying smirked his voice threatening "Oh… well, try all you want. But, don't get disappointed if you lose." The voice asked seriously "So… she's already gone. What are you going to do now?" Yeying replied his expression grave "I'll go and play for a while." The voice sighed in disbelief "Here you go again… and here I thought you would topple the Supremes heads." Yeying walked towards the Arcadia Manor. "It's too early now. First, I'll pull out the earth under their feet. Second, I'll make then kneel and third, I'll topple those arrogant heads…"

"And when you do… don't forget me." Continued the voice as it vanished into thin air.

Xianwu walked out of the pitch black void. "Where am I?" she thought keeping a hand on her forehead. A cool breeze blew past her cheek which made her shiver. In front of her the sight of her little cottage stood and a little away from it the same big crabapple tree from which Xiao yin picked up the berries. "I'm back to my mortal world's home… in just a single day…" she whispered to herself. Her expression turning into a dejected one she thought "So he knew where I lived… he even knew I cried… he also saved me from the wolves… He knew everything but never said a word. Why? Was he afraid? No way… but still, I can't go back to the inferno city, nor the Heavenly city, maybe I'll stay here for now until I get a new mission… after all he wanted me to live… but why?" Xianwu sighed.

"What good would even come from it? I wonder how he would be feeling right now. He's always watching over me…" she whispered to herself. Suddenly her face turned red "He's always watching me?!" she freaked out.

"Doesn't he think always is too much!! My private life is ruined…" Xianwu thought crying. Xianwu grabbed her pendent tightly. "We'll meet again…" she repeated. "Emperor Zhijun also gave me an invitation to Yue kingdom today. I wonder why?" Xianwu thought for a while as she reached to the cottage. She opened the door, all of a sudden something went past her mind "Wait a minute, Did Emperor Zhijun knew about my condition that I can't stay in the Inferno city anymore and then suggested me for a visit…"

Xianwu's expression widened. "If he knew it… why didn't he tell me at the very beginning?" Xianwu wanted to close the door at that moment and go to inquire him that instant but looking at how late it had been she changed her mind. "It's past midnight now… I'll go tomorrow." She whispered walking inside and closing the door behind her.

The sight was the same as she left. She went and opened the old case. Inside, red raspberries were stored in. A smile escaped her lips "Thank you… Xiao yin." She whispered. "He might be happy in his home… such a good boy. I wish he always stay happy never sad. I didn't thought I would miss him this much after such a brief meeting." She added. Looking at the empty cottage Xianwu sighed "Being alone… is really hard." she whispered with an empty smile. Picking up the case she set the rags on the corner. Fa ling after a long time came out as he stretched himself.

"Fa Ling?! Where were you? You slept too long." She complained. Fa ling on the other hand looked right and left. Xianwu with his odd behavior realised "Yeying, is not here. Don't be afraid." Fa ling sighed in relief soon stretching himself long and wide. Xianwu laughed "Were you really that scared?" she asked. Fa ling nodded himself aggressively. "Really? I'm surprised. Fa ling, don't be scared of him. He is a really kind person…" she corrected. Xianwu sitting on the settled rags, took a cover over her and Fa ling. She ate the raspberries gazing the starry sky.
