Chereads / Eternal Resonance / Chapter 5 - New Start

Chapter 5 - New Start

Inside a large courtyard countless women gathered. Some were very young while most look to be in their mid 20s.

On their faces was an expression of worry as they stare at an chamber that had music notes of various colors flowing outside of it.

The interior of this chamber wasn't anything special, yet these women looked like they were witnessing someone who was on the verge of death.

Inside this chamber was a woman holding a zither in her hands. Her entire body covered in her own blood.

Her skin was torn apart revealing parts of her flesh. However, there was no agony to be seen on her face, instead her fingers kept playing the zither in her hands as if her life depends on it.

As she play the zither, musical notes began gathering in front of her as it started forming something similar to a ball.

"Do you think the mistress will be alright Head Servant?" A woman outside who looks to be a servant asked with a worried gaze as she stare at another woman.

The Head Servant simply stare at the music notes that came in different colors as she declare out loud, "The Prophecy Child is being born."

Her declaration caused the other women around to gasp in surprise. Even the young girls were shocked whilst also curious to see who this Prophecy Child will look like.

Back in the chamber the music notes turn from a ball into that of a baby. The music notes then started merging together creating bones then blood, flesh, tissues and finally skin before it started creating the ears, nose, mouth and eyes.

After fifteen minutes a baby boy was created. The woman feeling the pain going away let out a sigh of relief with a bitter smile. She have lost her vision trying to create this baby and will never be able to see again.

The Yinyue Race is a race similar to humans but are created through music and only give birth to women.

Whenever any of these women wish to have a child they can go to what is known as the Reproduction Chamber to play music to their god known as the Goddess of Music, Yinyue.

If the goddess, Yinyue is pleased with their performance then with a wisp of her power she will create a child with the music being played.

Because of how much Goddess Yinyue have done for them they have choose to name their race off her name.

However, by doing so this came with a price. They cannot reproduce with any other race and so for years the Yinyue race have never experience what its like to reproduce with someone.

And since they never gave birth to a baby boy it became even more impossible to do so.

Until now.

"I guess this is for the best." The woman thought. Creating this baby boy was meant to kill her as an sacrifice. "Luckily I am strong enough." She said with a faint smirk.

Her name is Yu Yaojing. An expert of music and the current Head Mistress of the Yinyue race.

Soon loud cries entered her ears. Noticing this she dropped her zither to the floor before walking towards the baby as if she never walked before.

She touch around the floor with her bloody hands that shockingly were already healed trying to locate the baby.

After constant failure she soon touch what seems to be the baby hands. She then used her other hand to grab the baby into her embrace.

"You're my baby." She smiled as she wiggle her hands back and forth trying to calm the boy.

Surprisingly, the boy stop crying as he stare at the blind woman while blinking his big eyes.

"What the f*ck just happened? Didn't I die!!!" The baby boy shouted.

"Haha! Are you trying to communicate with me?" Yu Yaojing giggled when she heard the sounds the boy was trying to make.

"Lets see... what should I call you?" Yu Yaojing sat down as she held the boy in her lap with a hand on her chin as she think.

"I know! Your name will be Yu Sheng!" She exclaim as she snap her fingers.

That's right! The baby boy is Yu Sheng who died of a heart attack!

The last thing he remember before dying was hearing Yin Qing'er voice filled with yearning.

Remembering this he became sorrowful. 'To think I forgot about Qing'er....' He groaned, displeased with himself.

Suddenly scenes began flashing in his eyes. He saw the moment he died and images of his mother fainting after hearing his death.

He also saw how Qing Yin dealt with the news making Yu Sheng shocked.

"She actually killed herself." He blurted out loud. He only loved Qin Yin because of how similar she looks like Yin Qing'er so he was surprise to see she commit suicide after hearing about his death.

In fact during those years he never thought of Qing Yin as herself, but Yin Qing'er.

But she actually LOVED him. If you think about it their love was pretty one sided.

After marrying him she found out the reason why he married her after his mother accidently told her about Yin Qing'er.

This made her cry for an entire day. She even avoided Yu Sheng for months.

Whenever he called her she would always hang up after saying, "I HATE YOU!"

After multiple tries that lasted for months she finally calmed down.

He thought that she hated him all those years and even felt disgusted whenever they were in bed.

But never would he thought she loved him so much.

He also saw how his children immediately started fighting for the rights to take over his businesses.

This made him quite happy. 'Just how I thought you. To be ruthless even with your own family members.' He smiled, he never thought his children with love, so they never really grew to see him as a father.

Instead he thought them with a cruel yet efficient business mindset so that in the future they won't be taken advantage of.

He also didn't make his sons and daughters visit each other until they were 18 so that they don't develop to see each other as an family, but competitors.

Although Qing Yin wasn't pleased there was nothing she could do than visit them in secret from time to time. Yu Sheng didn't mind though since he wouldn't like if they develop to hate her as much as they hate him.

He then saw his funeral. No one attended it other than his mother who soon pass away 3 months after the funeral.

You would thought someone who made history, becoming the first ever Music God and Business God would have numerous people attending his funeral, but no one did.

After he started helping his father business many people started hating him for the ways he deal with things.

He would by force take over others business after finding a scandal that could ruin them. He would go on to increase the price off all their products and services by 50% causing many people to curse him both in private and public.

But what could they do but curse? Nothing! The reason they are cursing is because they can't live without these products and services making it easy to manipulate their needs and wants by increasing the prices.

"After Yin Qing'er death I started seeing the world in a different light, leading to me living a slightly boring life." Yu Sheng thought after the scenes ended, staring at the blind woman.

"Now its time to live my life to the fullest! No responsibilities! I can do whatever the f*ck I want!" He laughed causing his mouth to turn ugly and twisted like he was an villain.

"Hm? Why did the baby start laughing?" Yu Yaojing tilt her head in confusing. If she was able to see Yu Sheng face right now then she would definitely be shocked.

"Mistress are you there?" The chamber opened up bringing in the light from the outside and revealing an woman with a few wrinkles on her face.

"Granny Jing is that you?" Yu Yaojing turn around to where the light was coming from.

The woman by the name Granny Jing eyes met with Yu Yaojing face. When she saw her face she whimpered.

"Your eyes..." She whispered as she approach Yu Yaojing and tried to lift her up.

When she lift her up to her feet Yu Yaojing laughed, "Don't worry about them too much. They were useless anyways, limiting my growth in the art of music. Now that I lose them I can finally sense my musical power growing." She said as she clench her hand releasing what seems to be a black music note.

"Granny Jing now that I loss my sight I feel that I am closer to reaching that stage..."

Granny Jing hearing this became shocked. "Don't tell me you mean that stage..."

"That's right! Although it will take a couple years to finally achieve it. A few years isn't much to us anyways."

"So shouldn't you be excited and happy that I lost my vision rather than mourning as if I died?" Yu Yaojing asked when Granny Jing suddenly laughed loud enough for everyone outside to hear.

"Happy? Of course I'm happy!" Granny Jing laughter actually gave Yu Yaojing the fright. She thought she was hearing a ghost.

"Granny Jing are you okay? Did your boyfriend break up with you again after you refuse to give him the V-card?" Yu Yaojing joked with a mocking smile.

Granny Jing also known as Yu Jing is one of the oldest people in the Yinyue race.

She is also the Head Servant of the race who everyone respects.

The old Heat Mistresses all thought it was a waste for Yu Jing to stay a servant so they always tried giving her a better position, but she always refused.

She is also known for her gentle attitude and how reserved she can be. So hearing her laughing truly shocked Yu Yaojing.

Yu Jing hearing what Yu Yaojing said blush with an agitated tone. "Don't be foolish brat! Who would ever break up with me, Yu Jing?!"

"Your first boyfriend broke up with you after hearing how old you were."

"Your second boyfriend broke up with you after hearing you were from the Yinyue race."

"Your third boyfriend broke up with you after you humiliated him for being weak."

"Your one hundredth boyfriend broke up with you when you never gave him your V-card."

Yu Yaojing began listing all the people who broke up with Yu Jing making her blush even brighter. Sadly, Yu Yaojing wasn't able to see it.

"Your one hundredth and—"

"STOP!!!" Yu Jing covered Yu Yaojing mouth quite angry while saying, "Didn't your boyfriends also break up with you? I can still remember that last one. He was so domineering dressed in all black."

Yu Yaojing hearing this felt pained. "He broke up with me when I told him I wanted to have a child..."

Yu Jing seeing her expression also felt pained, they both experienced how it feels to have their hearts broken countless of times.

"So this is the child?" After a moment of silence Yu Jing asked.

Yu Sheng who remain quiet all that time listening to their conversation couldn't help but feel displeased. "You just realized I am here?!" He shouted while moving his little fist wanting to punch Yu Jing.

"After so many years Goddess Yinyue has finally blessed us with a baby boy." Seeing Yu Sheng she sighed as she lifted him out of Yu Yaojing embrace.

"Wait.... a boy?" Yu Yaojing became stun before saying, "I, Yu Yaojing is so blessed to have a baby boy? Haha! If the old Mistresses were still alive then they would definitely be looking at me with eyes filled with jealousy!" She laughed in joy.

Every women of the Yinyue race always yearn to have a baby boy yet their Goddess Yinyue always refused to create one.

Now that she finally blessed them with one then wouldn't that mean in the future they can have more baby boys in the future?

"Lucky you." Yu Jing sneered with envy in her eyes as she look at Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng started bawling his eyes out after being taken from his mother. "You better put me back on my mothers arms!" He yelled.

For some reason Yu Yaojing reminds him of his mother in his old life. Although they didn't have any similarities he still felt this way.

Maybe its because he has been reincarnated into the body of a baby boy that's causing him to experience such emotions or maybe he already accepted the fact she was his mother after hearing how she sacrifice her vision to create him.

So after being taken from his mother he cried until an idea came into his mind.

He stopped crying and then held his breath in then suddenly.....

His saliva was on Yu Jing face!

"..."

"..."

"That's what you get." Pleased, Yu Sheng grinned, letting out an evil smile.

But in reality, to Yu Jing his smile looked very much cute! So she began tickling him... "Haha! Who do you think you are to spit on my face!"

Yu Sheng who thought he won was suddenly reminded that he in fact is just a fetus. He can never win against an adult!

And so he had to suffer from Yu Jing cruel hands....
