Soul Karmas

"Zhuang, go check her identity or anything suspicious about her."

Back in the Palace, the Emperor deeply gazed at the hand that has taken a grasp on that rather small and fragile warm hand and when he remembers the soft feeling of the young woman.

He couldn't help but carefully open and doubtfully close his hand before finally opening his lip to give an order to the person that has been standing with a wide smile on his face the whole time.

"Alright, your Majesty. I will make sure to properly check anything suspicious about her."

And with that, Zhuang has left leaving the Emperor all alone inside his study room, his silver eyes gleaming an unknown emotion for a few more seconds before swiftly getting back to dealing with the scrolls and documents that have piled up on his desk after leaving the Palace for a few days.

While Snow who has been feverish for days has finally gotten better and as soon as he opens his eyes, he instantly saw the tired and tearful face of a beautiful woman that has been sitting next to the bed that he has been resting the entire time.

"Yao! My child! Huhuhu… you are finally awake! I assume the worse and believe that this time you are going to die and leave us all alone!"

"Mother… don't cry…you know that I won't be able to properly rest in the afterlife if I leave you and my younger sister all alone…"

"Oh, my child! Don't speak like that… you will live a long life…!" 

Well, Su Yao has live longer than you guys so the word you are speaking is painfully true...

For now, though, Snow felt his throat dry and painful that he has asked for water in a rather weak voice which his Mother has carefully fed him, before finally discoursing to Snow about what has happened after he has lost his consciousness.

So right now, after leaving Snow to his younger sister, the Emperor has stayed for a bit longer before finally leaving after making sure that everything is well taken care of and this time, Snow isn't a bit least surprised at his lover clingy attitude.

And when Snow sat up with the help of his Mother who is smiling cheerfully, genuinely happy, and delight to find her child safe and sound, has opened his mouth with a serious expression after a minute of staying silent.

"Mother… let us speak."

"Um? Yes, child, what do you want to discuss?"

With graceful and elegant posture, Xia Yue's expression becomes solemn, knowing fully well that her older child rarely get serious to discuss a very important matter with her, only for her eyes to widen in surprise and a great shock of what she just heard.

"Mother, divorce father and let get separated from them."

At least in this world divorcing between a married couple is accepted and right now, Snow needed to separate from that group of vicious and indifferent family, after all, they will be in constant danger if they remain living in that household.

Especially when Snow will need to plan about how to make his biological family be happy in this world and staying in that place will not let that happen.

And the most important part is the fact that their hidden true gender will have to be known sooner or later, even if Snow has already stopped the event that has led to their gender being revealed in that would be future because of his younger brother health but if it happened once before then there will be another time that it will happen once more.

Besides, from the plan forming on his mind, there is no way that Snow will want any further connection and link to that family who has thrown away the original client after having no people to protect him any longer before being chase to cause him harm that led Su Yao to die in an unknown alleyway in that cold winter day.

That vicious woman will never let them alone until they die, although Snow planned to deal with that person but for now, they needed a break from their constant harmful and vile schemes, at least, away from their base in which they can easily deal with them.

However, when Xia Yue remains quiet, Snow expression turned hard and cold, completely different from the usual kind, humble and genial expression that Su Yao usually showed, which causes the woman to flinch from his unexpected coldness attitude.

"After all these years, Mother, do you still love that person?"

In Snow opinion, once a person has forgotten their love, tossing and turning indifferent then it is not worth giving that person your heart anymore. It was such a clear logical reason but almost people who are blinded by love or past affection are unable to conclude that decision.

Although Snow wouldn't fault those people, it is their decision to what they wanted to live their life, while just having different ideas from them particularly when Snow mind wouldn't be affected by emotions.

"Su Yao… no matter what he is still your Father."

Father? What kind of father is that person? Even the original client respect and affection have been lost the moment that person has ignored the well being of his children, as for Snow, such a person doesn't deserve to be affection called with that Title meant for people who deserve it.

"Mother, I have assumed that it's alright if I just remained quiet, that they will leave us all alone if I give them everything that they wanted as long as it can keep us safe and away from danger… but what happened before has finally opened my eyes."

Gently taking the small shaking hands of the woman before him, although Snow expression remains hard and cold, but his voice is spoken in a soft and gentle manner that has eased the woman uncertainty, however, there is no mistaken about the determined and hint of steel his voice carried over.

"If being kind, thoughtful, and unambitious will just lead us to be trampled over and killed helplessness then Mother, I need to stop being nice. At least, to the people that wanted to harm us, I can't keep being generous and compassionate. I'll have to fight back in order for us to survive. Besides, this time they have crossed my bottom line."

Meeting the wide eyes of Snow Mother that remain beautiful and young-looking despite being on her thirties, has once more repeated the question he needed to get an answer from, although Snow has already known about it but hearing the words in person and making them speak it outwardly will finally cause them to be unable to turn back or acting blind about a certain matter.

"So Mother… the most important question I need to know right now is if you still love that person?"

Xia Yue's expression uncertainty has finally turned soft and sad while numerous complicated emotions swirl on her slightly teary eyes after a silent moment, nonetheless, the most prominent emotion that anyone will be able to tell is her undying love toward her children by just looking at her eyes at this instant.

"Silly Yao… probably in your eyes, I am just too weak or kind to fight back but remember this, the two of you, Yao and Yu, are your Mother's most precious treasures in the entire world. So, the moment that person has treated you, my children, so coldly and indifferently is the day that I have lost all of my affection to my so-called Husband."

My child… I can accept being ignored and treated unloved by the person I have vowed to be my Husband for the rest of my life because a person affection is something that is hard to predict, it can remain the same, grow stronger, or forgotten as time goes pass.

But concerning my precious children's life and safety is something that I am unable to ignore any longer.

There we go, Snow finally saw the well known burning expression that the woman is well known for in her younger year before she became different after meeting that person and falling in love with, really, the so-called love easily affects and changes a person in a mysterious way.

Love can become a wonderful experience while to some other, it might cause them such a miserable life, so good or bad all depending on the outcome.

"Yao… I should have done this a long time before right? Somehow, I felt like I needed that push and it seemed that the heaviness I always felt has completely disappeared after discussing it out openly, I haven't felt this light from all these years."

"Um… Mother, thank you for always loving us."

This person love for her children is her greatest strength but it is also has been what chained her all these years.

Suddenly the original client overwhelming love and regret has instantly emerged within Snow, strong enough that can easily drown anyone who couldn't remain calm under the heavy emotion, however, Snow has never shown a different expression as he raises his hands to gently wipe the tears from his Mother crying face.

And with that, rather than going home to the Su Family Residence after arriving in the Capital, for the first time, Snow along with his younger brother has stayed in the Xia Family Residence which is the home of Xia Yue biological family that has accepted them with open arms, in which has caused Snow Mother to cry with happiness, regret, and guilt for ignoring them all these years.

However, when Snow was riding the carriage while they travel at the main road in the Capital he couldn't help but peek over in the slightly open window when a rather loud commotion is happening that has easily taken his attention.

And as soon as he gazes at the outside, Snow attention has swiftly focused at the dazzling and fiery figure of a beautiful woman in deep crimson robes standing in front of a large building that has the name Wonder Cosmetic on top of the front door.

Basically, the modern world of advertising about a business opening is happening right before him that Snow is unable to stop his eyebrow from raising up from what he is witnessing, especially with that silk ribbon tied in front that the attractive woman is preparing to cut.

And with absolutely focused attention, Snow gazes at the flawlessly beautiful woman face that can easily make every woman out there envious, before turning toward those slightly open kissable red lip that made a person goes crazy from desire to take a taste upon it, especially when those seductively perfect body shape move that cause a person blood boil and crazy from desire.

"..."

Every movement and motion of that woman is full of tempting and charming manner that can easily make a person lost their mind and even the terrifying matter about is that all those actions are all-natural and isn't an act one bit.

Different… full of suspiciousness and strangeness because it is a completely different person in Su Yao's memory of the would future that happens to him, and even without the memories, Snow has already seen the abnormality of that woman.

That person is Song Meilin, who has died in the future for trying to seduce the Emperor while using her special power in a desperate manner of wanting the Emperor to fall for her, only to end up dying by the hand of the person she loves.

However, aside from the different appearance, character, and personality of that person the most important matter that Snow can't ignore is the familiar chill running down his spine along with the cold sweats on his face as soon as his eyes gaze upon her figure.

The first time Snow felt this way was when he met the Protagonist in the Second World as Zou Yi, but what makes it more dreadful was the fact that it was a more severe and stronger reaction from what he has experience from before.

"...definitely a danger…"

He definitely needed to carefully check that person out.
