Life Drain System

Chapter 63 - Next?!

    Rubbing his head a little to try and rid himself of the headache, Yue spoke in an extremely kind and sincere voice. "Thank you so much for your care, and watching over me. Also, I agree, you are right, I must be more careful, however if I do not push my limits how will I grow? Also, if you could get me some cold water, that might help. Thank you."

    The two tigers nodded in appreciation that he was taking this seriously. Whilst hearing his request, Xue Meiren, took in chi, communicated with it, then released it while assigning matter to it, creating a refreshing water ball in mid air. She then guided it to Yueliang, that he may drink it. Xue Meiren also said concernedly. "Drink slowly, you are still a bit weak."

      Yueliang looked at the floating water ball, and guided it slowly into his mouth, as he drank carefully. Just from the taste alone, one could tell it was jam packed with vitamins and minerals that were more spread out in water naturally. Yue then thought to himself. 'No wonder cultivators can survive on chi alone, they are basically producing their own needs with the chi around them. Either way, it is delicious.'

      "So what are we going to do next?" Shen Hu asked curiously.

      Hearing this, Yue started getting off the bed, about to speak, only to fall back down onto the bed feeling exhausted.

      "Next? Clearly you should rest more. You know, naming does not just require ones soul, it requires their years remaining. The soul to stabalize and focus it, while also being a like a certificate showing you are worthy of giving the name, thus you must be higher than the one you are naming. Also your soul is you as a whole, if you did not have a soul you would not exist. The reason we were so surprised you could name so many people is because one should not have so many years normally." Xue Meiren spoke.

      With a headache Yue interrupts saying. "So then what you are saying is that because one, I lost so much life force at once my body has to adapt, and 2, that I gave too much, to the point I nearly killed myself? However I still have thousands of years remaining, so how can that be?"

      "*Sigh. You just do not get it do you?" Xue Meiren asked before continuing. "A being that can with stand having so many years is one thing, however actually obtaining it is a whole other. Because you not only obtained such an amount, but also used it, you are in this situation. You see, once you gain such an amount of life, and can handle it, your body assumes that is your new life span. Thus like any creature, as they near their death, they get older, and weaker. This is what you have done to yourself! Do you get it now?" Xue Meiren explained sadly. While the other two just nodded in agreement.

    "I see..." Yue replied with a disheartened expression, while thinking. 'Yang, is this really true?' 

      "Unfortunately yes master. However why is it you listen to me now, but not when I try to save your life?" Yang replies.

    'When did you do that?' Yue asks.

    "*Sigh. Whatever, I will say it one last time, so please listen closely. Your girlfriend, Xue, do not trust her. She has changed."

    'How could you know that?' Yue asks with utmost curiosity and sincerity.

    "Really? You have a system, and you think finding out when someone lies is difficult to discern?" Yang replied with amazement.

    'You are right. Hehe.'

    "So what are you going to do now? Are you going to live out your days here, or refill your remaining years?" Xue Meiren asked, while the others stared intently, wondering what his next move would be.

    "You all are right, I have done this to myself, however that does not mean I will give up on my dreams. Although, at the same time, I am not certain of the future, thus I feel it is better to live for now and see how things turn out. Do not worry, I will still try to let you meet my master." Yue said feeling every part of his body getting slightly weaker and more tired, so he says. "However for now, I think I need some rest." As his body fell into a laying position from his arms giving out.

    Worried about their king, and friend, the three just lay in wait. Eventually taking turns sleeping, in case he woke while they slept. However while a few thoughts did cross their minds, one in particular really got to them. 'Why is it his body is still so weak and frail whilst he has his cultivation? Could he not just move the chi to support his movements. But then again, it is already making him tired so how really does this work?'

      "Hello everyone I do not have long so please stay quiet." A voice rang out among their heads. 

      "Who? Nevermind..." They decided to listen despite not knowing for certain who the voice was, although it was familiar to all three of them.

      "*Sigh. Alright, I am Yang, Yueliangs' System. Either way, to get to the point, because of the influx and deflux of Yueliangs' age in such a short time, his body is currently experiencing rapid aging, and his years are being consumed. Thus, in order to save him, I will need your help, are you willing?" Yang asked hurriedly as Yueliangs' life is passing fast.

    "What can we do?" Shen Hu, Huoli, and Xue Meiren asked simultaneously, and surprising each other.

    "I will give you quests to kill off cultists, or join wars, all you need to is complete them. I will teleport you there. As long as we can refill his life span, I can stabilize his body until it settles. By the way, you only have 48 hours left. His life is going down by around 150 years per hour."

    "Understood, please give us the quests quickly. There is no time to lose." Shen Hu said while worried for his new friend.

    "Alright, Shen Hu, you and Huoli, will go to the Quetzechala Rain Forest. There is a war currently going on. Kill anyone who is not dressed in tribal outfits." Yang said, and then a moment later, the two disappeared.

    "Now then, for you Xue Meiren, I will be sending you into a cave to kill all everyone in there. Got it?" Yang asked, and then before she could answer he says as he teleports her. "Good."

---- Meiren POV ----

    "Great, another cave, and more cultists." She thought to herself.

---- Shen Hu POV ----

    "Well this should be fun right love?" Shen Hu asked Huoli as a rhetorical question.

    "Of course, more practice for us, and stories for the baby." She replied excitedly.

---- Yueliang POV ----

      In a white room, all Yueliang could see was light as he mumbles to himself. "Am I dying? Hmm, interesting... I kind of hoped I would die in a blaze of glory."

      "Hello Yueliang, you are not quite dead yet. This is pretty much the waiting room before you pass on to the other side. Also, good job, considering how bright it is, it seems you lived a great life so far. The more naughty *ahem, worse things you do in your life, the darker the room gets. Meaning you can guess where you would go to a degree." Yang said.

      "I see, so why is no one coming to guide me to my next life or the other side?" Yue asked curiously.

      "As I said, first off you are not dead, and second, because you still have people out there bringing you closer to healthy with every passing second." Yang replies matter of factly.

      "Alright, I understand, however why are you here with me?" Yue pointed out the elephant in the room.

      "Well, that would be because I am dead *ahem, sorry, bound to your soul as your ancestor has done for his descendants."

      "Hold on, you just said dead, please explain. I mean we have time, and I will be waiting here for either one option or the other." 

      "Alright, well you most likely will not remember anyway so here we go. Your ancestor, in order to provide each with a system, something needed to be used, thus a uninhabited planet was converted into a system, then bound to his seed. Once he had children, they had this, and it passed from generation to generation." Yang explains slowly, and in more detail.

      "Okay, however there is clearly more to it than that." 

      "You are right Yueliang, your ancestor put a plan in order in case on of two situations happen. First would be if you are the final living heir which you are, or two, born with a certain amount of innate talent, which again you are. Meeting just one criteria, would have provided you an aid, however meeting both provided you me. You see he did not want his lineage dying out."

        "Well, please continue, please do not keep me in suspense."

        "You see, your lineage naturally has twins, as some people do, and when twins are born, sometimes one dies. As there is no need to go into further detail for that part, I died in child birth, rather than me passing on, I was bound to you by the system. For what reason I am not certain, nor do I care as I got to stay with my twin for as long as you live. I get to watch you grow, and help you."

      "If that is the case how do you know so much?" Yue wondered?

      "Well, we do learn before we are given our bodies you know. Anyways, as part of the system, I also inherited its knowledge. However that does not mean I can use as I please, or I would have made a body to be with my twin. Regardless, I am just happy to be with you once more." Yang said to his brother.
