Chapter 5 - Honglian

[ Inside Lotus Space ]

"Master !!!"

"Bang ...."

"Ouch! it's hurt Lianlian" Lianhua's forehead became a little pink as she crushed onto a person.

Just then the lotus fragrance flew into her nose. The slender figure picked her up and embraced her tightly that she almost couldn't breath.

"Master, is it hurt ? it's Lianlian's fault" Honglian phoenix eyes contained a layer of crystal tear and self blamed like a wrong child who had done something wrong but he didn't let her go, he continued embracing her and buried his nose on her neck intimately.

"Lianlian, I won't blame you. It's ok, am not hurt you see? can you let go of me?" Seeing him looked like this, her heart soften. She smiles softly and patted his back.

"My master is so cute " Honglian turned his face to look into her red eyes .

"hissss !!" Lianhua sucked a deep breath. No matter how many times she had seen his face, she still felt amazed every time she stared at him.

Dressed in long satin red robe, his sleeve embroidered with complicated exquisite purple pattern. His height was about 1.82m tall. The long satin pale blue hair fell down then scattered on his strong back.

His fair crystal skin was shining smoothly like a fine silk, long slander eyebrows and a pair of deep phoenix eyes were shining like the purest crystal. He had tall nose bridge, long and thick white butterfly eyelashes which made his bewitching face looks like a goblin that sucked people soul.

A pair of eyes looked straight into her red eyes full of attachment and love. His right eye was silver-blue and his right eye was dark-red color. In the middle of his eyebrows, the red lotus flower was blooming seductively which made his face looked devilishly beautiful and mesmerizing.

Honglian was the spirit of immortal lotus space artifact. Honglian was awaken because she accidentally scratched her hand and her purple blood fall on her wrist. He had been accompanied her for long time and he taught her about array and weapon refining knowledge.

Because he was the spirit of ancient artifact, his knowledge and skill were profound and unfathomable.

"Lianlian , if you go out, I don't know how many men and women will be killed by your beauty!" Lianhua made a joke with him, while she was trying to east the weird atmosphere around them.

What she assumed was the truth. Honglian really has the beauty of man and woman, no! He was even more charming than a woman. Lianhua stared at his face enviously.

"Lianlian is master's person, I don't care about other people at all" Honglian replied pitifully but when Lianhua didn't notice, his eyes turned frightening cold and ruthless, thinking of those people coveting him.

He remembered the way they stared at him obsessively, which made him feel disgusted and want to kill them. But the. His eyes turned softly and impatiently when he looked at the figure in his arms. Only she could arouse his fondness and tenderness. Only she deserved him; he was willing to sacrifice everything just to be with her. She was his world.

"Haha!! Lianlian, you really like to joke" Lianhua laughed dryly while her eyes avoided his hot eyes.

"Are you hungry? I will cook for you" Lianhua's small hand caressed the smooth, pale blue hair gently. She loved his hair.

"No, master, just stay with Lianlian for a while." He didn't need anything. He just needs her now. Honglian stopped staring at her and then buried his face in her neck. His face was gloomy.

Master, when will you accept me? Can't you see my infatuation for you?

(Two years ago)

Honglian saw her for the first time after a million years of deep sleep. Those people schemed and pushed him till he became this spirit state. Thinking about that, he used to be a person who created fear for everyone in all universes, now had fallen into this state, his soul attached to the space artifact and get contracted by weak human being.

His aura turn cold as ice, his eyes turned frightening bloodthirsty. But then he adjusted his aura and think about his situation now. His intuition told him that his life will not boring anymore with this interesting girl accompanying him. Let's just play with her for a while .

He first thought that he'll just stay with her as his new master and guide her to practice then soar, when she grow up powerful, he will find away to cancel this soul contract. When he accompanied her day by day until it many years later (time in space), he began to fall in love with her .

(A day outside = a year in space).

Her smile, her sadness, her happiness, her jokes, her nonsense idea, her gentleness, her good-natured and her stupidness side made him fail deeper and deeper. She was such a stupid and simple mind girl . She always thought of the people she loved more than herself.

He didn't know when…when he realized his feeling for her, he couldn't imagine the day without her, he might choose to vanished from this world with her or found every possible mean to get her back to his side. He saw her fight with the beast, her expression pretended to be cold but when there was no one around , her eyes became red .

What she said was like a thunder bolt shot straight into his soul. She said " Honglian , thank you for being alive so that I'll no longer be alone in this world ".

She said "Honglian, I am glad that I could meet you in this world , I never want to lose you "

One day, her internal organ suffered a very heavy injured. Then, when a powerful fire snake beast was about to kill her, he felt like his heart stopped beating. He didn't even think much but he hurriedly came out of space to protect her then he got hurt. He didn't care about his wound, but concentrated on checking on her if she was fine.

In the past, no matter how much blood she had overflowed, he was always indifferent and cold. He looked approachable and flirtatious but he never allowed anyone to affect his mood. He only helped her because his soul and her soul connected to each other. If he wanted to go back and take a revenge, he had to relied on her for now.

"Lianlian is it hurt? you idiot who tell you to stand in front of me ? you see , you got deep wound on your body. I'll not die with this wound, why do you have to rush like this!" She said trembly while applying medicine to his wound gently .

She didn't blame him instead she blamed herself more. For the first time in his life, he knew what is warm. For the first time in his life that someone care so much about him. No one care about him in the past. Those people either coveted his beauty, his strength and everything he had.

Where were those people when he was desperate? Love him ? Those people said that they loved him, but they decided to join hand with each other and his enemy just to imprison him and get his attention?

He was born ruthless and cold-blooded, but that didn't mean he didn't understand human's feeling. It's just that no one could grant him that feeling called love and home.

From that day on, he started to feel good about her, until his interesting turned into deep affection and love poison deep to his heart and his soul.

Master, don't blame me for not letting you go . Since you care so much about me then let our heart and soul tied together so no matter where you go, we'll always be together. I'll allow you to care for me and I'll always love you eternity.

Lianlian will only exist when the master existed, if you're dead, Lianlian will destroy the world for you and will go after you.

Lianlian will continue to grow up with you, and always stand behind your back till one day, you notice my obsession to you.

Honglian never wanted to return back to that place again. He didn't care who hurt him, and he stopped thinking about the revenging. He will continue to accompany her until one day she is qualified enough to stand on top of the world. She will find out about the red shadow who has always stood behind her and never left.

The lotus flower tattoo between Honglian's eyebrows rotates, and the color changes to deep and dark black. Lianhua didn't see this because Honglian's face was buried in her neck.

The girl didn't know; unconsciously, she had made a very loving decision that she couldn't get rid of no matter what.

........

"Good, look at this Lianlian!" She gets out of his embrace, and shows him something.

"Master ..." Honglian's enchanting eyes red. She remembered it.

"Don't you say you always want it?" She gently put that thing on his slander hand.

Honglian looks at thing on his hand.

This was the spiritual red lotus flower. This flower grew only in the deepest of the Red Forest. The Red forest was full of red. It was extremely dangerous for practitioners below Yuan Baby period to go.

Everything in that forest was red including the dangerous creatures. Beside Red Forest, there were several dangerous place that normal practitioner didn't dare to step into.

He didn't know how she found this, but he knew it wasn't easy.

She asked, 'Lianlian, what do you like?'

'I like red lotus flower" he answered casually. He came from that place; he usually planted red lotus flowers in his garden, but that lotus flower garden got destroyed by those disgusting people.

It was easy to find this flower in the upper world, but in this world, it was extremely rare.

How did he know that his casual word meant so much to her?

No wonder that day he saw her covered in blood. Her face was extremely pale; her bones broke, and her soul suffered a very heavy blow.

"I wanted to challenge the powerful beast but got lost. Let you laugh at me, haha" she replied while coughing blood.

He was very panicked, but he must heal her first before anything else. He blamed her for being careless.

.........

"What are you in a daze for?" The red-robed girl waved her small hand to him. Seeing Honglian's soulless state, she was puzzled.

"Master, tell Lianlian how you got this." He pointed at the red lotus flower on his palm. His expression was very serious.

"I was lucky to find it in my space," she said, opening her mouth and talking nonsense with a paralyzed face.

"....." Honglian was speechless, but he felt both warm and angry. How did he not know that the red lotus flower existed in Lotus space?

His smile was tender, but when she looked at him, his face turned red with anger.

"Master, lie to Lianlian; Lianlian won't talk to you, hmm!" He turned his back to her. But she secretly held the red lotus flower like a priceless treasure and smiled like a child who gets his precious thing.

Looking at the enchanting man in anger, she was dumbfounded.

What she didn't see was that Honglian's charming eyes slipped a layer of crystal tears, and his pair of eyes showed many emotions. His body trembled as he was trying not to let her see his weak state.

Master, how do you want me to stop loving you like this?
