‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍His eyes turned from red to grey then black, his teeth from razors to nails and finally to pincers. And his skin from pale to ,patches and finally to decomposing with centipedes peeking out of the multiple holes created every three inches of his face. his face manifested from a single unit to being slashed into four parts by a single cross running from ear to ear and fromm hairline to chin. His tongue had rotating antennae like his Chilopodas

Of course this was only visible to the man while others daren't understand or interrupt. The man glared chadmically into his eyes and even began to rigidfy that he seemed to be solidifying like drying cement. And that was the case. if Shejin could see clearly through his somewhat ultrasonic vision, he would be able to notice the unmissable paling or whitening that the man is under-going. It was if his blood is settling sort of like in livor mortis but instead of going a particular direction ， the blood was evaporating out of him per microsecond..

Dejang didn't release the rope and he carried on milking the energy.

Yamin genuflected in vicinity of him and was genuinely afraid to touch him because his girlfriend was doing the same thing too.The man rotated his bloodshot orbs and boldly peered to Shejin who was still laying on the ground staring half-conscious . It was strange that even though he turned leer at Shejin, Dejang didn't seem to notice the broken eye contact.

suddenly the world went supremely blurry and slowed , almost like looking at a dramatization of a swinging pendulum and noting every back and forth motion. It was certainly like the first time he saw this man faking Suyen 's fist attacks. He assumed that he was seeing the aggregate in unrealistic high definition.

The man in Dejang's capture mitosised out with his body remained where it was and what appeared like a greenish fog fused off of his flesh. The smoky oracle was twice the size of Shejin's body, had a loud deep voice and made three nervetwiching echoes with every single sentence pause it reached. It narrated every article that had just happened and added the occurrence thst took place at the mansion that Dejang was just at. A possibility exists that it was there or rather the thing that caused all those incidents.

" demons don't possess humans unless the human already had that manner in them, think about it", it told him then rode the air towards Dejang's froze body then to dance around Meiyang's

He didn't mean to tremble but it was getting physically exhausting not to mention useless to display questionable bravery.

" I don't want to hurt you but you don't know how to back off. ", Its voice exploded inches away bordering Yongsun's deluded body that was observing Shejin's girlfriend .

Shejin blinked away the tears but seconds later , the greenish foam bombarded his chest , causing him to scream out his lungs. All his muscles resonated the agony like fire over sunkissed prairies .

Like magic , the world unfroze and everyone looked to the cause of the sound only to find Shejin's body ten yards away.Yamin bolted towards while Zhihuan who also seemed ready for combat but didn't act .

His girlfriend stormed towards him .Dejang and Meiyang chased behind Shejin and Dejang exploded into some birds to attempt to surround Shejin while Yongsun followed aimlessly by Dejang.

Before they reached him , he was pulled away by his leg, while his back dragged on the ground. Within a matter of moments he was elevated off and spinned such that his hair tie became lose.

" Eogeum!!", Yamin called him

" Another one!..", the greenish foam continued to toy with Shejin..With that he has rode a bit higher off the ground such that his long hair barely graced the floor

Meiyang threw a golden leaf to the sky and it detonated reveling the thing carrying Dejang. But what was most shocking was the thousands of strange animals scattered all over the place. They were like multiple snakes, intertwined and dancing , exposing only their torsos and backs but occasionally the head of a falcon, the paw of a leopard would peep up , only to be pulled by the snakes And contrary to belief or stereotypes, the shadows were shades of green and not black. On top of that they would fulminate some white-light beacons every time they moved..

Normal people or non-cultivators can't see that but those that did floated off the ground, which made the crowd somewhat confused.

The layman's rule applies .if you can't sense it you won't know it and what you do know can't hurt you . Civilians have a weaker core energy to detect these creatures so these beasts shouldn't affect them. Howbeit that rule is a victim to tolerance and mutation

" Look at your prince!", The echo called and poor Shejin obeyed even though he grappled to breathe and see due to being upsidedown and doing revolutions every two seconds

" That's not Yongsun", Shejin tried to tell him

Yongsun was different, almost like a man with a thirst for blood, a need to kill and a desire for revenge.

" Why does he look like that?", he sobbed for him

" Ask him yourself.", The fog yelled and with that it threw Shejin to the sky and the first one to go for him was Dejang.

He quickly grabbed him around the waist and pirouetted while holding his close to himself.

Shejin's hair was all over his face and he was bleeding everywhere . His beautiful eyes were as red as his neck from being on the ground. the whole entirety of his face was saturated with sweat and tears which were furthermore diluted with fear .He glanced at Dejang and he at him with some streaks still flowing. It's quite obvious something was going on through their minds but no one knows what. Both know he is very scared and both understand what that does to Dejang but what happened next was far from expected

He lowered his eyes before laid his head on Dejang's chest so tenderly that he could literally feel his breathing.

Seconds later they reached ground but he only let Shejin go meanwhile he hoavered above the snakes.Yongsun supported Shejin out of Dejang's arms into his. Afterwards he grabbed Shejin , pushing him into a bridal-carry pose , not forgetting to be cautious to avoid touching his back. The way he held him while walking through the worms was so majestic but it is unnatural how he wasn't even looking at the bouquet in his arms.

" I want to see him spilling blood. How they would hate him for that? How much I crave to see him take a life even if it's his own? ", the fog cajoled Yongsun's face and Shejin felt a tear fall down his eyes .

Shejin thinks he knows that it wants to use Yongsun as a puppet but Shejin will never let that happen. On the daily, he can't stand how belittling it is being around Yongsun but he would rather feel like a rug that Yongsun walks on than to live in a world without Yongsun being in it.

Handsome prince walked a few more steps and HyanNi, Minhee' s mother, stood in front of him. She stared deep into his eyes and almost like trying to make her mark.

The fog cackled and called Yongsun's aunt a viper in a garden of peonies , a leech among seahorses and a razor in a platter of cotton.

" Take him away", she instructed guards to take Shejin out the prince's arms but Shejin grabbed tightly onto his garments.

" This is sightful .", It spoke and asked if Shejin wants to have fun to which he shook his head now more than ever crying.

The guards yanked him out but he refused to let go of him . Yongsun didn't even look at Shejin when he was clinging onto his garments. It's almost as if he purposefully didn't want to see his face .

" Your highness, I will take him. He could be traumatized. His attacker wore the same colours as the workers . ", Dejang explained and tried to take Shejin but he still refused to leave him

" Pathetic!", The fog answered and it disappeared.

Just then the people on the walls completely twisted kill themselves instantly, the man on the rope rotated his neck three times and was left hanging lifeless with his head facing to the back.

The guard saw Dejang's lack of reaction so he forcefully snatched Shejin who then willingly agreed to move.

Within a few moments the cultivators begun to throw golden leaves to kill the small creatures which disappeared within a manner of minutes.

" Move out of the way", Meiyang screamed at Dejang who automatically shifted.

He felt in a daze a bit.

He just had this memorable encounter with Jiulin staring deep into his his eyes as if he like Shejin is all that he can ever see. And he saw him basically clinging onto Yongsun for no apparent reason

' does he think he is still holding me? Does he assume Yongsun was the one trying to pull him away from me or did he really not want me to touch him? If so , then why did he close his eyes and calm down when I was holding him? ',He asked himself continually trying to understand the situation, not actually realizing that he is reading too much into things.

" Cultivator Liu Dejang, release the body.", Luihe barked at Dejang who turned to him while still looking at the ground.

He raised his eyes when he wanted to raise his hand. Afterwards he did and instead of his chest ,his right hand held his left bicep and squeezed it with the same pressure that was existent in him.

He walked to the body and the birds , flew to behind Dejang and fused into his back causing the body to slump down.

Meiyang told Yufen to secure the perimeter and make sure to have the bodies are taken back for examination. Afterwards he had make sure that every civilian is checked for that kind of energy.

Meiyang looked at the space that position that Yongsun had just been carrying Shejin and he saw his girlfriend running behind Yamin who escorted Shejin.

Yongsun was standing still so Meiyang walked up to him to request him to leave so they can begin working.

He stepped closer . the woman had been whispering to him . Yongsun tensed so much that his veins twitched in anger.

He tried his best not to raise his hand to the woman but his muscles gave in and suddenly did so only to have Meiyang quickly grab the hand and stand in front of Yongsun to hide his actions.

" Ma'am, please go back to your quarters", he requested ceremoniously but Yongsun thrust his hand free and he stormed towards the opposite direction that Shejin was taken

Meiyang was confused what had caused the heated scene between these two .Akin to the white collar cultivator, Liuhe was conflicted .

Meiyang, Dejang and Yongsun thundered off to save Shejin without the slightest bit of precaution. Yongsun has no powers, Dejang is too explosive and should guard caution while Meiyang has an image to upload. The two cultivators could have been doing that from the basis of their jobs but the young prince has no vow to fulfill.

Most importantly, he wonder why Dejang caught Shejin like that only to have Yongsun take him out of his hands . Later Meiyang looked at Yongsun as if he had snatched a candy in front of his eyes , meanwhile Dejang was deflated by the way Shejin refused to move into his arms. Even right now he acted like the candy Meiyang lost was actually his and he watched those with power toy with it.

Basically there is a Rubik's cube of principles here and the only explanation is aphrodisiac chef Eogeum Jiulin.

Zhihuan noticed the way that Yongsun ran off and he took didn't know how to feel.

He was guarding and heard there was an attack . When he got here , he met the prince trying to eliminate the man like he is not worth living which is a subjective argument. After that he stormed towards Shejin and the question is why? Moreover what did Minhee' s mother say that got the angel so mad .

To be honest he would have protected Shejin if Yongsun and the others didn't storm in.

Now he like everyone else wonders. Was protecting Shejin caused by a call of duty or something else?
