Chapter 391 - 9.10 Second Blue Star - At The Hospital
Su Wan and Yan Ke brought the three Celestial Masters to the hospital where their eldest brother is confined. In his comatose state, Wang Liu was forbidden to leave the hospital as the machines to keep him alive were all found here.
Meanwhile, still having the duration of the All-seeing talisman on them, Su Wan and Yan Ke were welcomed into a new world they've never expected to exist. Seeing translucent things, clean and ugly floating around them, these two brothers were flabbergasted. Su Wan's reaction was the greatest. He is a little coward himself so seeing lots of ghosts around him he couldn't help but grab his second brother's arms tightly like a woman.
The other onlookers were staring at them like they are gays who never cares about the Public Display of Affection. When in reality, Yan Ke wanted to throw away this scared-cat brat if not for fear of showing disrespect towards the great masters with them.
In the end, he could only give up his reputation as a straight man and let this silly younger brother of his do what he wanted.
Su Wan whispered in fear, "What the hell is that? No head!? Shit! Look at that ghost his intestines are hanging out. Ah~ transparent. All of them are see-through. Haha~ so it's not a dream. I'm seeing ghosts and spirits Wuwuwu~ QAQ... QAQ... QAQ..."
Sighs~ "If you're afraid just close your eyes and hold on to my arm. I'm just gonna drag you with me!" said Yan Ke.
Su Wan whose eyes were red from crying had no other choice but to nod his head, what these two didn't know is that from other people's perspectives, they look are an openly gay couple and people couldn't help but give them a second look.
Master Yi, Master Ling, and Xue Hua keep their distance but in the end, they themselves look strange. Two old men wearing Celestial robes were acting like an old married couple. Master Yi is letting Master Ling hold on to his arm as they walk. Xue Hua on the other hand is like a grandson who had his world snacking on some macaroons they bought on the way.
He looks attractive with how he looks, especially the contrast of white hair and his gold irises. Paired with phoenix-shaped eyes and handsome features he looks like an immortal if not for his obvious gestures of being a foodie.
Master Yi murmured as he looked at Su Wan and Yan Ke who looked like a couple if one doesn't know their relationship as a sworn brother would think they are in a loving relationship.
"Ah~ sweet youth~," said Master Yi with a teasing tone.
Master Ling pinched his partner's arm and said, "They are brothers. Sworn brothers. Not lovers you fool~ stop playing with them!"
"Hiss~ okay my darling... I will talk nonsense anymore..." said Master Yi as he slightly twisted his body in pain. Then he saw the little brat munching in macarons on his own and he couldn't help but reach out for it. He took one first to feed Shen Ling and took a few more for himself.
"Little brat, how about you? No peach blossoms or puppy love yet?" asked Xue Hua.
Xue Hua thought for a bit before answering. He then remembered those dreams that haunt him every night. About that man with dark gorgeous eyes and staring at it makes him see countless stars and galaxies on it. Then thinking of his apathetic reactions towards others' relationships including those who admire him and confess to him.
Every time a man or a woman confesses to him, Xue Hua couldn't feel a thing. Even when seeing a lady blush before him or a guy tries to flirt with him. Nothing, there was nothing he could feel towards them. Their admirations and affections could even cloud his mind nor cause turmoil in his heart. As if he is nothing but a bystander in this world. There was nothing as far as he could remember that was able to move his feelings and emotion.
But those dreams and those fragmented scenes in his dreams would sometimes make him happy, would make him sad, make him want to hit someone when he feels angry, a short feeling of guilt and regret, finally the feeling of strong and passionate love.
I in that dream would always possess a different appearance but he knew those are him.
In those dreams, all my emotions center on that person. He is called Ye Xiajie and according to my dreams, he is supposed to be my husband which I do not understand why. There is also a baby called Ye Xiajing. A cute and extremely beautiful precious little one who would call him daddy.
Hearing the question of Master Xie Yi about his love life he couldn't help but tell him about this man. As if for him, this person called Ye Xiajie is the only being in this world that was able to move his heart and soul.
"Hm~ a peach blossom might be. I do not know if he is my past life husband or a future one. I always dream of the same person I've never even met before. He is called Ye Xiajie and according to my dream, he is supposed to be my husband. Does this fall in the category of love? Or maybe fate? Grandpas, what do you think?" asked Xue Hua with confused yet eager to hear an answer expression on his face.
Shen Ling and Xie Yi looked at each other. As Celestial Masters themselves before they got together, there are also some circumstances of the meeting in their dreams but within those dreams, they could never control it as if those scenes were only fragments of unknown memories of an uncertain timeline.
It is no different from watching a movie. Like Xue Hua, they had dreams about each other. As Celestial Masters, there is a situation where they would sometimes have prophetic dreams. It could be a part of their life or an incoming disaster. But those dreams caused too much energy and thus it would only happen a few times.
But Xue Hua is different from them, he possesses an abundant source of divine energy from an unknown source. When Shen Ling tries to peek at his past life, he is instantly kicked out of the dream world as if anything related to Xue Hua whether it was past or future, no one is capable of seeing anything.
Master Ling who is this world's greatest diviner could even peek through Xue Hua's life unless he receives a fatal backlash. He only tried to pursue it once, Shen Ling tried seeing through the brat's past and future. He saw nothing of his past but he saw something else in the future.
"Xue Hua. Do you remember what I've told you about your future right?" said Shen Ling.
Remembering that one morning when Master Ling suddenly said that he would die when he met a man with crimson eyes and warned him to stay away from anyone with that sort of iris.
Xue Hua said, "It's okay. The man in my dreams has pure black eyes. It was even darker than the evening sky and much clearer than ink. It was so beautiful that I couldn't move my gaze away."
Master Xie Yi asked as he said with a playful tone.
"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Our cold-hearted little brat here seems to just say someone's eyes are pretty. This little brat who shows no interest in life or death just suddenly changes because of his future spouse in his dreams."
Shen Yi said, "That's good then. Just remember to stay away from a man with crimson eyes."
"I will be Grandpa Ling and... Wipe off that annoying smirk on your face, Old Man Yi!" said Xue Hua.
"Hehehe~ our little brat seems to be in love~"
"Shut up, Old man!!!"
Their conversation ended the moment Yan Ke and Su Wan brought them to a private room that housed a patient, Wang Liu, the eldest among three sworn brothers.
To an ordinary person, all they could see is a luxurious white room with air conditioning at peak adjustments. There's a middle-aged man with closed eyes on the huge bed at the center of the room. Beside the bed is hospital apparatus which extends the life of the slumbering patient.
When they've arrived, the wife of Wang Liu is there. She looks haggard to the point her face was pale from lack of sleep and bags under her eyes were visible even with makeup covering it. She was delighted to see her husband's brother coming over to see Old men in Celestial Robes surrounded with profounded aura and grace.
Wang Liu's wife could see that these two Old men were different from the fake Masters from before who wore tacky robes and an aura full of arrogance. She realized his brothers-in-law finally found real masters that can help them. But then he saw a young man follow after the group. He looks so innocent with those clear golden eyes, his aura is majestic yet at the same time cold. Though there is a gentle smile on his face, the deep of his eyes were devoid of all emotions.
He is like an immovable glacier. His existence itself is there but at the same time, no one could force him to do something he doesn't want. As he is the embodiment of strength itself and celestial beauty descending on earth.
As soon as everyone entered the room, they noticed the wife of their elder brother but had forgotten to greet her. This is because they were welcomed by a scene they would have never expected.
Sitting on top of Wang Liu is a gorgeous lady wearing ancient robes. Her long black hair was flowing behind her like black silk strands, the wide sleeves of her dark red robes were placed before her like those noble ladies in the old ear.
Her features were prominent like Xue Hua but she can also be considered a beauty with that small nose and plumpy lips urging someone to kiss her. Her eyes were currently close as if she was meditating but the corner of her eyes had a rouge color on it. Not far from her is a spear made of metal, it was covered in blood and was oozing with black qi, this black qi is not good stuff as even the other ghost in the room chooses to avoid it.
"Second Brother and Third Brother, you came. Are they the Great Masters you've invited to wake up my husband?"
When the wife of their eldest brother approached them for a greeting the woman on the bed slightly moved. Even with her eyes closed, she reached out her slender hands to reach for her spear. With a spear in her hands, she waves it intending to behead Mrs. Wang who was coming over.
Yan Ke and Su Wan jumped in her direction pushing her to the ground and avoiding the blade coming for her neck. Master Yi and Master Ling who just said they would be watching for the side now brought out their weapons.
Shen Ling brought a trident out of the water from the bathroom. The sound of running water from the opened faucet can be heard. Xie Yi on the other hand brought out a crimson fan and a single wave from his hand fluttered a few fireballs.
Master Yi waves his hand towards the spear of the Ghost lady. Once the weapons of the two Great Masters were pulled out, the lady in crimson roves finally opened her eyes. Blood flows down from her hollow eyes as he shrieks, parrying the fireballs and clashing metal sounds that can be heard inside the room.
Master Yi yelled to Su Wan and the other two ordinary people in the room.
"Move to the corner! This is not an ordinary ghost. But one that had been cultivated in the old era. A fierce ghost with their own intelligence. It's a ghost general with a title." said Xir Yi.
Behind him, Master Shen Ling is chanting a few words holding four talismans in his hand. With a single wave of his hand, those talismans flew in four corners of the room and suddenly a translucent barrier surrounded the room preventing others from interfering. The whole room was desolated in another dimension.
Master Ling said, "I've isolated the room. A'Yi help me block her for a while. I want to create a soul prison that can hold her soul. We cannot fight her here!"
"Huahua!"
Then they remembered Xue Hua who was supposedly behind them, when the two great masters turned around they saw Xue Hua still munching on his macaroons with an innocent face. Behind him are Su Wan, Yan Ke, and Mrs. Wang witnessing the whole scene. Behind Xue Hua, none of their excess qi could pass Xue Hua to harm the mortals.
Xue Hua is obviously doing nothing but the qi that is supposed to not have any intelligence to move away carefully avoiding Xue Hua for no reason.
The sounds of munching paused and Xue Hua blinked his clear eyes and said, "Yes? Should I be doing something else?"
Master Yi and Master Ling had indescribable expressions on their faces. But before they could comment on something, the ghost lady general started attacking again.
KYAAAAKKKKK~
Master Yi and Master Ling had to move their focus on the enemy first but didn't forget to give the playful young man behind him any command. They just ask him to stay where he is.
"Nothing. Stay there and don't move. Just keep those three behind you safe. Your Grandpa Ling and I will need to capture her first and bring her somewhere else to fight." said Master Yi.
Xue Hua's gold eyes move on the ghost lady general and suddenly glints with a bit of silver. No one else noticed but when the ghost general met with Xue Hua's eyes she halted as if seeing something terrifying. On the other hand Master, Yi took this as a chance and pushed her away from her host, Wang Liu.
Master Yi said as he kicked the Ghost General off the bed mercilessly without regard to the gender of the other side.
"Hmp! Hosting on living beings! Do you want to turn into an Evil Spirit?" said Master Yi said to the ghost lady.
SHRRIIEEEKKSSS~
As for the Ghost Lady General who lost her host, finally lost it and fought to the death with Xie Yi meanwhile on the other corner of the room, Shen Ling was murmuring some words as his surroundings were surrounded by water that was pulled over to his side. He seems to be making a prison made of water strengthened by his qi.
While all the ruckus in the room was being done, Xue Hua, who got tired from standing up, pulled a chair over and sat on it. He even crossed his legs as if he was watching a live play in front of him. He even pulled his personal tumbler from his backpack and enjoyed the scene.
The three ordinary people behind him couldn't help but stare at him like some kind of monster. Their eyes were full of disbelief. Feeling their gaze he thought that they were hungry and offered them some of his macaroons.
Xue Hua asked with a smile, "Do you want some?" The other three shook their heads in a synchronized manner. It looks comical as their expression is also the same.. But Xue Hua thinks nothing of different with their reactions as he doesn't care at all.
