The Fallen Consort

He didn't want to talk nor to see Yi Ling, just because he was feeling shameful. But now, he couldn't keep himself away from her anymore. He dashed out of his study and ran all the way to her chamber. He opened her door without knocking.

What welcomed him was a nightmare. One can smell the blood in the air. Yi Ling was bleeding all over her pores and her mouth. She fainted in bed and was soaked with blood. Her body was excreting all the impurities inside her. It was part of the process of breaking the Second Seal.

Only Mu Xin didn't know what the effects were, when one wants to fȯrċɨbŀƴ break the seal. He never put a seal on anybody except her and He cant remove the seal himself because he is too weak right now. The rest of his powers was locked outside of the Ring. It was part of his punishment. She has to be done one to break it. If he helped, he was afraid that it'll hurt her more.

He really wanted to see her as soon as she went back inside the Blue Rose Palace, 5 days ago. But his body won't listen, it went into a state of shock. Remembering the bow's past owner was a terrifying nightmare for him.

He went to Yi Ling's bed and cuddled her into his arms. He kissed her forehead as he tried to lessen the pain. That's all he could do to help her right now. All of a sudden, A sharp pain went through his ċhėst. Like someone was trying to take his soul out of his body. It was so powerful that he almost fling Yi Ling's body away. He moved away from Yi Ling, afraid what he might do to her. He sat down on the chair across her bed. The pain lasted about one incense. When the pain gradually lessen, He then realized something. The Pain was also part of Yi Ling's situation. The pain he felt was because of her breaking the seal. Since he had a part on sealing her, then a certain man will feel it too. A man that he didn't wanna deal with right now.

"Dammit!" He slammed his fist hard into the armchair. He knew that person all too well. If that man felt that excruciating pain, he'll be suspicious and would try to find out what it was about. He can't afford to let him know of Yi Ling's existence. He just couldn't! His face was now angry and his fists clinched tightly.

If only there was another way, but he knows that the other way would involve that certain man. He didn't wanna risk Yi Ling's life.

When the pain finally subsided, he picked up Yi Ling and brought her into his chamber. This time, he didn't care anymore. He used his powers to magically change Yi Ling's robes, so she's not soaked with blood anymore. He kept her company and gave more of his own spiritual energy if she feels any discomfort.

-----

On a different place. Inside a wonderful and heavenly palace.

That certain man that Mu Xin was angry about, gritted his teeth. His eyes were closed, but one can still feel the cold aura surrounding him.

Finally, the pain went away, He thought. Earlier, Out of nowhere; he felt an increasing pain inside his ċhėst while he was sitting on his throne. Like someone was tearing his soul out.

His eyes opened. Bright purple eyes came into view. It was angry, really angry. He then got up from his throne and tried to pinpoint the perpetrator. After an hour, he got his answers. The perpetrator wasn't in his Kingdom. Then that brings to only one answer, its from Huaxia. He eyes shined and smirked.

"Someone actually had the audacity to aggravate and cause pain to this King. This King finds this interesting. It has been too long since I went down to Huaxia. Maybe its time for me to roam the lands again". He rubbed his chin. He was getting bored anyways, sitting on his throne. Since there wasn't anyone who can match his powers.

He flicked his sleeves and disappeared into thin air.
