And that was the last of his flickering memories. He couldnt remember what happened next, all he knew was that after he regained consciousness again, his parents were dead and he became an orphan.

In that second, I only had one thought in mind, kill them all and save my mothers life. Even in death, thats all I wanted, those fingers had inexplicably tightened into a ball, showing how much frustration the boy really had over his inability to change things.

Watching the changing emotions before her eyes, Ling Yue suddenly had the crazy impulse to hug the boy.

As the chief of the Phoenix Manor and all thats under him, Feng Shen was carrying far too much burden over that shoulder. Perhaps, not even the boy himself realizes it, but he too was only just a teenager.

Taking a small step forward, the hand hesitated for a bit before finally wrapping itself around the mans waist. Then letting her head lean in against the stoic chest, they are now one.

The fault isnt on you Feng Shen, you were still a child back then. Whats more, you are not alone either. You have Dao Nu, Mr. Mu and many friends now. Also, you have, me.. When it came to the last part of her sentence, Ling Yues voice had devolved into a murmur like shes too shy to say it aloud.

Like being greatly encouraged, Feng Shen answers the girl in kind with an embrace of his own. And as a complimentary service, he went ahead to peck down at her forehead with a kiss.

This instantly causes her to fall into a panic: I cant breathe Feng Shen, you are holding me too tightly. Also , since that Phoenix Edict is your mothers momentum, I cant accept it.

She knew the item held great value, but not this type of memorial value as well! And according to the boys meaning, the Phoenix Edict should come in a pair and not just one piece.

The Phoenix Edict is the heirloom of my family. Now that its been given I wont take it back. Besides, I think my mother wouldve liked you very much if she was still alive. All smiles in his handsome face, Feng Shen denies the request with no room for refusal, Its getting late, why dont we call it a night and rest early.

Sending the girl back to her room, he didnt leave right away. Instead, the lad remained outside alone in the yard, staring quietly at the sky with a touch of frustration in his face.

In the end I failed to tell her.

He only told half the truth to that story. For the latter half, not even the king knew because hes been keeping it a secret all these years.

It was right before he lost control. Rage, endless and destructive rage, thats all he wanted for the evildoers who were slowly closing in on himself. Then what happened afterwards was nothing but a blank slate until he regained consciousness underneath that cliff.

All wet and alone, it wasnt just him when the kings men located his whereabouts. In fact, there were a lot of blood, pools of it even scattered across the rocks like a horror show. Yet, not a single body was ever located like they just vanished from thin air.

Against this level of savageness, not even the well-trained soldiers of the king could remain unfazed. They knew the battle mustve been terrifying based on the traces left behind. So, what did that mean? Theres only one plausible explanation, someone had snatched away the corpses after dismembering them all!

While Feng Shens mother was never found after the tragic event, not even a corpse, the boys father did eventually return home to the capital though. However, this time around instead of being alive when he left, what came back was nothing more than a cold hard corpse, plus a thousand bodies of his loyal followers.

This was undoubtedly a direct provocation of the royal family: a princess has been killed, the Wargod of North Qing murdered upon his return, and the attempted murder of a prince.

In a fit of rage, the king immediately issued out one of the heaviest punishments ever to come across this great nation. Sentencing any involved party to death, including their closest kin, carnage was the only word that could be used to describe what occurred in the following month at the nations border.

Towards these events, Feng Shen never did manage to witness it firsthand because he had fallen into a coma after being brought back to the palace. Then when the critical period was over, thats when he discovered the changes to his body, which was the birth of a Demon within his soul. Or to be more exact, it was a demon known as Wu Chong, the current Ghost Emperor thats feared across the lands.

Sighing at his own life, Feng Shen finally turns away for the night.

Unbeknownst to the boy though, he wasnt alone in standing there until now, Ling Yue too didnt rest when the door closed between the pair.

She just had the strange notion that the boys different from the usual him. As to whats different, the girl couldnt quite tell. Perhaps its that unsolvable sadness in his eyes, or maybe.

Taking out the Phoenix Edict from inside her clothes, Ling Yue eyes it strangely, Should I really be accepting something like this? It represents the mistress of this household. If I do, then wouldnt it mean Im accepting his proposal?

Its not like she hated the boy, rather its very positive even. Just that, to call this feeling love wasnt quite right either. Or perhaps. Shes just being a coward and was too afraid to love.

Ye Ling Yue, you cant fall in love, you absolutely mustnt..

The night was going to be a long one tonight.

She was getting a nightmare about herself after falling asleep. Well, its her but not exactly her as well. Its the same face, the same appearance, but the woman on the opposing end was much more enchanting and experienced in life.

However, theres one major difference between them both, this second version was being cruelly tortured until that body could barely be recognized. And those eyes, they never wavered even once in light of all that pain.

Xi Jiu Ye, if there is ever another life for me then I will make you pay for everything! Blood for blood, life for life! The vow was directed at the two individuals further away.

It was a handsome man with his face blurred out from view, and sitting beside him on the throne was another woman of definite beauty. Though she couldnt quite make out who these two individuals were, Ling Yue could still see the smug smiles on their faces. Its downright infuriating and she didnt know why like cancer to the heart.

You mustnt love, you mustnt ever love.

Night Ling Yue, Ye Ling Yue

The hoarse outcry of pain and screams continuously rang beside her ears until endless darkness drowned out her consciousness.

!! Jerking open those eyes, shes awake again.

Ling Yue, what happened, are you okay? Carrying a bit of anxiousness in his voice, the picture of Feng Shens face soon appeared from the front after the door swung open.

Based on how the morning light was shining through, plus the boy still hasnt gotten properly dressed yet, its obvious he too had only just gotten out of bed.

I had a nightmare. Touching her own forehead, Ling Yue frowns upon discovering how much sweat she was covered in.

She doesnt know it either, but shes been often haunted with the same dream over and over again.

What did you dream? Your scream was very loud there just now.

Because Feng Shens room was right next to the girls very own, it didnt take much for him to be alarmed by that loud scream.

I cant remember, every time I wake up I would forget. Deflated in her voice, she explains.

The only thing she does remember though was that theres a woman constantly reminding her of not falling in love. It was so filled with hate and sadness that she didnt know whether its her illusion or something true.

Its okay now, its all just a dream. Here, your bandages are wet because of how scared you were, let me change them for you. Furrowing his brow, the boy grew rather suspicious over the necessity of those wraps on the head.
