After pulling me away from the crowd between his arms, she led me to what appeared to be her bedroom. She placed me on the bed, and hurriedly stuffed a pill into my mouth. After digesting the medicinal pill, I could notice that my injuries were recovering quickly. Seeing my condition improving little by little, her expression relaxed.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Yes, thanks to you."
"Stop flirting, what happened to you? And, who did this to you?"
Hearing her question, I put on an expression of resentment and indignation.
"Who else can it be other than that damn demon. Upon discovering my relationship with his disciples, he became so angry that he decided to send assassins after me. When I'm stronger, I swear to God that I will fuck his disciples in front of him."
"Yes, yes, yes, it seems that you are feeling better now."
The woman's worry was replaced by comfort; Apparently, this is what Ye Xiu would have said in a similar situation. I wonder if he has mentioned anything like that before.
"What happened with you pills? You always have a lot stored."
"The bastards cut off my right hand, the ring was on that hand. If I could, I would have killed them all by now. I promise that I will repay this debt a thousand times over, until justice is done."
I would laugh if Tian Xin wasn't looking at me; I just pronounced one of the typical phrases that protagonists usually say. I turned my head and looked towards the windows. Normally, the surrounding atmosphere would change to a more chaotic one, something similar to thunder, lightning and rain. It doesn't seem to work if I say so. I should try it on him, at least once before he dies.
I turned my gaze towards Tian Xin and said:
"Will you help me?"
"Yes! How dare him touch my man."
There was no hesitation in her tone as she spoke those words. Aren't she afraid of me? She has even thought about the number of disciples and elders who would die because of this decision. Even if only she participates, the sect will be affected by her status of sect leader. Apparently, she doesn't have what it takes to run a cult.
According to the story, she was granted the position of sect leader by the previous leader. Since then, she stubbornly clung to the position. She received many complaints about her bad judgments; Although the elders tried to give her advice and help, she stubbornly rejected all their suggestions.
Although she got support from the elders with the help of Ye Xiu; It was more because of the strength and talent that the boy had, than because of her leadership. I think she was allowed to stay in that position only because of her relationship with a talented young man.
With a worried expression on my face, I asked her a question:
"But he's the demon Mo. Aren't you afraid?"
Tian Xin looked at me with a mixture of determination and joy.
"Of course not, you are my husband; We will kill that bastard Mo who dared to harm you, no one can humiliate you."
"Really?"
When I asked her this question, her face was right in front of me; to the point of touching our faces. She kept her gaze on my eyes and answered the question with a nod. I smiled and whispered in her ear.
"Great to hear."
'I hope you won't regret what you said now.'
I hugged her in my arms and asked her a question:
"By the way, where is Yu Lian? "Why haven't she come to see me?"
The question provoked irritation in the woman, she tried to separate herself from me; but I hugged her tighter, not letting her leave.
"Come on, don't be jealous. You are all my wives, but I love you more."
The sweet words had an effect on the woman; She stopped resisting and rested her body on top of me.
"So? Where did she go?"
"… she went north to look for you. But it seems that she will return without results, he he."
Isn't she your disciple? She acts more like a jealous girlfriend than a respected teacher. Sigh, love is dangerous; It changes you without being aware of it.
"And when did she leave?"
"Mmm, two days ago; "She ran away when she found out that Mo Hei Xin wanted you dead."
So, she headed towards my old territory; she left two days ago, I'll be able to catch it before it gets dark. Well, I already have the answers I need; I should end it, time flies.
I put on a loving expression on my face and pulled her face towards me. I put my mouth towards her cheeks and kissed her softly.
"Thank you, Tian Xin."
As I slowly moved away from her; my physique and face gradually returned to its original state. I waited for her expression full of surprise and fear, but what I found was her blush cheeks with his eyes closed. "She looks like a teenager who has received her first kiss from the person she likes."
I waited patiently for her to look at me. After a short wait, I could see her eyelids lift, revealing my new appearance to her.
'...'
Why isn't she moving? Has the situation surpassed what her brain can process?
I gave her a smile and said:
"What happening, my dear? Didn't you say you were going to kill me? I will be very disappointed if you don't keep what you promised."
"Are you …"
"I'm?"
The woman couldn't finish her sentence; Incredible as it may seem, she fainted in front of me. As soon as her head made contact with the bed, I felt her heartbeat stop, only to start beating again five minutes later.
I blinked repeatedly, shocked by the events that just happened in front of me. What just happened? A cultivator of her level can simulate death; but I clearly felt her soul wither and rebuild in just five minutes.
In all the years I have lived in this world, this is the first time I have seen this event happen. Regardless of what level of cultivation someone has, it is impossible to perform such an show.
The soul is an abstract and spiritual concept, difficult to understand. Over the years, a lot of very questionable research has been done regarding this concept. Unfortunately, they have all been useless; No one has managed to delve deeper into the topic.
The only thing we know today about 'souls' is that it is closely related to our existence. Being what defines our way of being; what makes us feel, think and what makes us aware of our existence. So, to speak, all living beings have a soul. Therefore, it's destruction implies death. Although there are elixirs that can heal spiritual damage, it is absurd to rebuild it from ashes.
'...'
Well, it's not entirely impossible. Just because it hasn't happened before doesn't mean it's unrealizable. But what has caused this anomaly? I took out the mirror from before again and looked carefully at myself in it.
I don't think i'm handsome enough to cause such a reaction. I'm not narcissistic enough to believe in this option. I reflected for a long time on the wonder that just occurred. I thought Mo Hei Xin's knowledge was absolute, but it seems there is more to this world than one might expect. Suddenly, I thought of my parents.
No matter what world you are in, souls end up in the same place. I myself felt like I was being dragged from there into this world. If I can delve deeper into the subject, it is possible that I can reach the realm of souls.
'So, is it possible to bring back father, mother and sister?'
Tears began to well up in my eyes as I thought about how there is even a remote hope of recovering the family I thought I had lost a long time ago. Now I have strength, I will no longer have to see them suffer like then; I will make them live like kings.
'Finally, I will be able to rectify my...'
"Do you want a tissue?"
