In the center of the world white mist spread. It moved so slow one would imagine if the mist was controlling itself from spreading. This said mist covered the sea, covering it in icy white colors.
If one were to enter the mist they would be blinded by the sight. The sky was white and the grassy ground was white. It looked like the world was covered in snow that never stops.
Mystical buildings could be seen floating above the white mist along with figures that look like people flying in the sky.
These people hair white as snow, the same for their cold, piercing eyes. Their facial expression looked like the survivors of a fatal war. However, although these people resembled emotionless beings, they show happy smiles on their expressionless face.
In a building floating in the sky were five individuals, four of them kneeling one foot on the ground with the other laying lazily in a chair with the fur of what seems to be a dragon on its top.
The fur gave off a noble aura along with indescribably pride. However, if you were to look at its torn face you could see its eyes were filled with shock and fear.
"Report." The one on the chair utter in a chilling voice.
"The Witch Race has accepted our terms and conditions."
"We lost 10 spies that we sent out to the Human Race."
"We have yet to find the secrets to use Qi without dying."
"Princess, number 15 is dead."
"..."
Everyone turn their gaze to the last announcer. Their gazes filled with disbelief.
"Is what your saying true number 12?" They asked.
"Yes number 13, she is dead. We expected the Yinyue Mistress anger to flare, but what we never considered was the fact that the Evil Zither was still alive."
When they heard the name Evil Zither they became shocked, they rose from their knees.
"That's impossible! Our elders witnessed the destruction of the Evil Zither 200,000 years ago!"
"Even with the Zither number 15 should have managed to escape no? Her strength is undeniable trash compared to us, but her speed covered her lack of strength."
"Does this mean the Yinyue Mistress devoured the Immortal Item?"
"This is not good..."
The four women shouted, not one of them feeling any sort of sorrow for their fallen ally.
Furthermore, these women look exactly the same. The only difference were their height, weight and their sense of style.
"Enough."
With one word they went quiet. Kneeling back on the ground with stilled expressions.
The one who spoke turn her frosty gaze to number 12. "Show us the recording."
She nodded and soon a video was broadcasted in front of them.
"A pawn? You dare call me a pawn in your plans?!"
"In the end you were the one being used. How pathetic."
At that the recording ended. It seems like some sort of mark was placed on number 15 to video her time in the Yinyue Race.
"Number 17, what do you think of the Yinyue Mistress power?" The princess asked.
Raising her glasses to the bridge of her nose she stated. "Her strength can only be compared with the likes of the Xu Emperor. However, with her mark still being unknown we cannot tell how far apart these two are. Nevertheless, what we do know is that she cares a lot about her people unlike herself 200,000 years ago. We are unsure of why her emotions changed, but with this fact we can easily take advantage of this weakness." Number 17 declared.
The princess nodded her head before saying to Number 17, "Call Number 9, I want the Witch Race to cut off all connections they have with the other races starting now. Recall all our spies from the Human Race and go visit the Dragon Race again to make sure nothing goes wrong with our plans and lastly, continue researching how the human race utilize Qi."
"You are all dismissed." She stated and soon the four identical women vanished.
When they left the princess stood up and stretched her limbs. She went to a window and stared at the outside world with an ambitious smile.
"Soon this world will belong to me. No mortal or god can stop the coming days of my domination."
.....
Yu Sheng woke up the next day being carried by Yu Yaojing. He opened his mouth and yawned. "Has it already been a day?" He wondered as he rubbed his sleepy eyes awake.
After Yu Yaojing carried him home he immediately fell asleep. Before going to sleep though, he heard Yu Yaojing twin devil ask her a question.
"Are you planning to destroy the Central Domain now?"
Right after she said those words he began dreaming. In that dream he saw Yu Yaojing above what seems to be the Central Domain. Lightning flash like crazy and the sea floor below was splashed away revealing the abyss beneath.
It was a strange dream. In that moment Yu Yaojing looked like she was the controller of all elements as just standing in the air caused such a phenomenon.
Below her was the exact same masked girl that Yu Yaojing killed a day ago. However, it wasn't just her, but tens of identical masked girls. They looked at Yu Yaojing in horror except for one that smiled viciously.
Yu Yaojing took out the Evil Zither and played a note and suddenly the world went dark. The lightning vanished and the world became silent. Nothing could be heard in those few breaths of time.
The world soon light back up and what Yu Sheng saw frightened him . A huge palm size hole was in Yu Yaojing chest. Blood leaked out of the corner of her mouth and her eyes were filled with anger.
She screamed a name Yu Sheng have never heard before falling into the ocean.
A couple days later the Central Domain launched an attack against the Yinyue Race killing everyone who went against them.
Everyone including Yu Jing and Yu Yingzi and the twins died except him. Surprisingly, they did not kill him.
One of the identical twins stood in front of him. Looking down at him with her cold eyes. She uttered four words that Yu Sheng could not make out before the dream ended.
"That can't just be a dream." Yu Sheng said as he look at Yu Yaojing face. Her expression was currently calm, her eyes however looked like they were frustrated as if she didn't want to do something. Not only that, but Yu Sheng got this strange feeling that her pride was affected like something or someone was clashing with her pride.
Seeing this Yu Sheng became apprehensive. If Yu Yaojing were to really go to the Central Domain and die what would happen to him? "Lets see where she's going first."
The two of them arrived at an infirmary. When they went inside Yu Sheng heard two individuals that seem like they were doctors discussing about the recent events.
"Apparently the Queen went crazy and killed the Princess of the Central Domain."
"Will this cause us to be targeted by those Central Domain people?"
"Who cares! They have been acting like the entire world is their backyard. Its about time someone teach them a lesson!" Someone else joined the discussion.
"Agree, but some of our people died that day as well. Queen Yaojing used her Zither to kill dozens of our own."
"And? It's not like she did it on purpose. They simply died because they were weak. If it wasn't for Queen Yaojing we would still be used by others. Although we may live in harmony when it comes to fights you better not become a spectator of it or even participate if you value your life." That person sneered.
"Besides, its about time our Queen begin breaking those chains she burden herself with. War is about to erupt soon against ever single Domain because of the Central Domain. We don't need a incompetent leader.
They soon walked by and Yu Sheng couldn't hear anything else disappointing him. However, from that little bit of ease dropping he learn that the yinyue race seems to prefer the old Yu Yaojing instead of the current her. This led him to wonder what type of person his mother was 200,000 years ago.
He was also surprise that these people dare talk like that in Yu Yaojing presence.
Yu Yaojing opened a door and entered. As she entered she was immediately questioned, "Why are you here?"
Yu Yaojing hearing this body shook. "Why can't I visit by favorite girls?" She said as she force a smile.
Yu An and her sisters stare at Yu Yaojing with deadpan eyes. Yu Yan entire face was covered in bandages. The masked girl brutality nearly turned her into a cripple. Yu Ai was better than her sister as she only suffered an injury to her head.
As for Yu An her shoulders were utterly crushed making her arms useless for the time being. They didn't care about their injuries though, instead their pride suffered an incredible defeat.
They no longer had the confidence to look at their elders, friends and family and say they are the strongest youths in the yinyue race.
"I heard you killed the masked girl." Yu An suddenly said.
"I-"
"Get out." Yu An commanded with a low voice.
"Girls..." Yu Yaojing wanted to say something, but couldn't grasp the words she wanted to say.
"I said get out!" Yu An screamed. Her entire body began shivering as she cover her face. "You are the reason we are so weak, pathetic and useless!" Her voice sounded shaky as tears fell from her eyes.
Sensing that Yu Yaojing was still there she raised her head to reveal her teary eyes. "Just leave already."
Without being able to do what she wanted Yu Yaojing stepped out of the room and out of the infirmary. She stare into the skies for a very long time.
Yu Sheng felt bad for her. The triplets may not be her own children, but she treated them like one. Yu Sheng firmly believe she is a better parent than he could ever be.
But this world was cruel and the people were crueler. Just to mess with Yu Yaojing emotions they had to use undermined methods to force her out.
Yu Sheng then remembered a phrase Yin Qing'er once told him. "Life is like a merciless whip, striking right behind us when were caught off-guard."
That said merciless whip was the Central Domain people.
Yu Sheng felt pissed. He became displeased that he was stuck in this body that couldn't even feed himself.
As Yu Sheng was getting angry Yu Yaojing began floating in the skies reaching the clouds. This scared Yu Sheng, he have never been this high up before without the use of external things such as transport.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Why when I finally begin to settle down the world goes against my will?!"
"Is this karma for all the things I did in the past!"
"If so then why don't you leave the people around me alone and just focus on me!"
Yu Yaojing shouted at the heavens. She demanded an response, but no one answered. For the rest of the day she question the heavens until her voice turn hoarse. Tears fell from her eyes and dropped on Yu Sheng face. All he could do was listen to her sorrows.
"Am I fated to stay a devil?"
When she finished it was already night time. When she realized what she did she looked at Yu Sheng and smiled miserably, "Sorry my child, but I have let you seen an embarrassment."
Yu Sheng hearing this wanted to tell her that she wasn't an embarrassment, but his baby body didn't allow him to say a single word.
But Yu Yaojing was still able to hear him. "How fortunate I am to have a child like you." She said, before her eyes became determined and scary.
"NO!" Yu Sheng screamed internally. She was about to go to the Central Domain! Yu Sheng continuously scream at her to stop what she was doing. He thought of multiply scenarios that could stop her, but none of them would be able to work.
A woman then appear behind Yu Yaojing and hugged her by the neck. "I came to visit you only to see you in this state?"
