Star Crossed In Time

Bai Lei glares at Biyu's trembling figure as he sighs and says "Leave." Biyu quickly stands up on shaky legs and bows before quickly leaving with clenched fists. Why!? Why was it that weird silver-haired vixen!? Ever since she's appeared, Bai Lei's been acting differently.

Can't he see how much she loves him and Mother!? She's done everything in her power to keep his place here untouched but he doesn't seem to even care! All he's worried about is that slut! Biyu storms out of the courtyard with her teeth clenched in anger.

After taking a few more steps she comes to a stop and takes several deep breaths. She'll just wait until he grows tired of Nova... she's like a new toy to him... he'll come around once he grows bored. Biyu takes another deep breath and slightly smiles while saying "Now I just need a way to show him how useless she is..." A vicious light flashes across her dark eyes as she comes up with an idea.

~~~~~~

I watch Biyu run out with a frown and look to Bai Lei standing in front of me. I won't tell him to get rid of her... I kinda enjoy pissing her off and watching her squirm but if she takes it too far... she'll have to go or I will. I'm not a hundred percent sure if he'll choose me over her though. She is like a little sister to him... 

"I should send her to the Heavenly Realm..." Bai Lei says with a sigh of irritation, surprising me. "That reminds me, I want to ask you about that... When you talk about the different Realms, are you talking about different worlds within this world?" I ask with confusion.   

Bai Lei turns around to look down at me sitting on the bed with a small smile as he says "Hmmm... you could say that." He waves his large hand and I watch in wonder as a map appears in his hand. He pulls the map open and says "This is our world and the different Realms in it. This is us here." 

I look to where he's pointing and then look around the map with large eyes. "So when you say Realms, it's like different Countries in my world... So everything is still in the same world. Just split up in different countries." I say looking up to him.

He watches me with a frown and says "Different Realms... different countries... I guess?" I giggle at him, while slowly understanding more of this world. His dark eyes watch me with warmth before the map disappears with a flick of his wrist. "That's so cool... I want to learn how to do that." I say looking at his empty hands.

He steps closer to the bed and reaches out to my chin. His long finger gently tilts my head up as he looks down at me with dark eyes. "I will teach you everything I know..." His sudden seriousness takes me by surprise as I look up to him with mixed emotions.

The sun coming in through the open door and hitting his back outlines his body, casting him in a dark halo. His black and gold outfit making him look like the King he really is as he stares down at me with dark deep eyes. 

I grab the hand holding my chin up and use it to slowly stand up on the bed. This time, I'm at his eye level thanks to the bed. He watches me with amusement as I step closer to him saying "You teach me everything you know and I'll teach you everything I know..."  

Bai Lei gives me a dark smirk before pulling me to him with the tug of my dress. I laugh as I gently crash into him and nearly lose my breath when I see his large smile. It should be illegal for him to smile... 

He leans in and gently kisses my forehead before moving to the tip of my nose. His smile grows as he kisses my cheek and chin causing me to laugh again. I grab his face and kiss his smiling lips. He kisses me back but it's broken by his chuckle. 

He leans in and kisses me a few more times before wrapping his arms around me and lifting me off the bed. He turns us once before slowly lowering me onto the ground without breaking the kiss. I enjoy every minute of my body sliding down his before my feet touch the ground.

I lean back and say "At this rate, we won't be leaving this room." He gives me a dark smile before saying "I'm completely okay with that..." I lean in to kiss him again when suddenly Ren appears by the door covering his eyes. "Master... Something important needs your attention..."

I quickly try to pull back but Bai Lei refuses to release me as he slowly turns to look at Ren with a glare. "Something important? Something more important than... this?" He asks with irritation. Ren nervously licks his lips and keeps his eyes down on the ground as he says "I apologize... it's about the... Under Realm." 

I feel Bai Lei's arms around me tighten as he freezes. I turn to look at Bai Lei in question but he quickly lets me go while saying "Stay close to Zhen, I need to take care of a few things but as soon as I'm done, I'll come find you." 

I watch him closely but he doesn't give anything else away so I nod my head and watch the two leave. Why did he act like that when he heard it was about the Under Realm? I guess something happened? 

I walk out of the room and into the courtyard to watch the sun slowly setting. I should call it an early night and begin cultivating. That way, I can become stronger, faster. I call for Chyou and take a quick bath before cultivating the rest of the night. I notice that every time I go up a level, it's slightly harder to reach the next but that's progress, right?
