Chapter 39 Give back the soul!
39 Give back the soul!
The woman raised her trembling gaze to look at the indifferent eyes of Zhang Yuan and gulped hard "Esteemed Lord... may I know the reason why you summoned me?"
Zhang Yuan nodded his head and turned his eyes to Xue Hua who was standing there "You see that girl... I want her soul back."
Huh? The woman's eyebrows furrowed as she looked at Xue Hua, her expression betraying a mix of confusion and concern. "B-But... Esteemed Lord," she began hesitantly "It is impossible to get the soul back once the pact is signed." The soul is not in her hands anymore as it has reached the real Goddess of Death already and must have consumed her power.
Hearing this, Xue Hua sighed in her heart accepting her fate 'So, then... really have six months to live and I need to get my revenge.'
Meanwhile, Ming Yuelin kind of grasped the situation after hearing the conversation just now and the appearance of the devil.
"Useless." Zhang Yuan muttered glancing at the Devil and Mei Yu too joined in.
"A dog that just barks and does not bite." she mocked the Devil.
The devil clenched her jaw in frustration as she was ridiculed by a mere mortal. Her blood boiled with fury at the audacity of the human to belittle her but she could do nothing and stayed silent. Xue Hua was moved in her heart to see Zhang Yuan literally summoning the devil and bargaining with it for her soul.
She lowered her head and cupped her hand "I am already grateful for your efforts... Master." her tone yet indifferent.
Zhang Yuan smiled faintly and raised his right hand "Don't worry. I know how to get your soul back."
As he lifted his hand, the woman's body moved and floated to Zhang Yuan. "E-Esteemed Lord?"
Xue Hua and Ming Yuelin looked at him in puzzlement, their eyes blinking curiously.
"You can try to hide it, but it won't escape my eyes."
With a smile, *sleesh* his right hand pierced through her chest and Ming Yuelin and Xue Hua were shocked to the core to see this.
WHAT?!
Xue Hua's eyes quivered with fear as she gazed at him, her mind racing with worry. 'He not only subdued the devil... but killed it? What if the Goddess of Death came to know about this?' "Urghhhh!" The devil let out a guttural groan of agony, her body wracked with pain and blood swept out from her lips and eyes as they streamed down her face. Zhang Yuan pulled his hand back and there was a white soul within his palm shining brilliantly.
*thud* The Devil's lifeless body fell to the ground and her eyes rolled up indicating that she is damn dead.
The Devil has not yet transferred the soul back to the original body of the Goddess of Death and kept it within herself.
She thought she could somehow involve the Goddess of Death in this issue and was confident that she would punish the strong human who dared to threaten her.
The devil's body withered and turned to ashes as they were carried away by the gentle breeze of the wind.
As the devil's body dried away, Xue Hua's eyes trembled and she felt the forbidden energy slipping away from her hand.
Without a proper soul, it was the forbidden power which has been keeping her alive and as it disappeared... she was going to die.
She felt her legs go numb and her consciousness slipping away. But before she could fall, Ming Yuelin quickly moved and grabbed her body.
"Master..." she looked at Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan smiled softly and stood up from the bench. Coming closer to Xia Hua, he raised his hand and the soul went inside her body.
Her pale face began to brighten and her black arm contaminated by the forbidden power also began to turn to fair skin.
Ming Yuelin let out a sigh of relief and Zhang Yuan patted her head "Seems like you already... began caring for her."
Ming Yuelin lowered her gaze upon hearing this "After hearing the conversation... I understood she has suffered so much and even sold her soul for powers."
'She's not always an airhead...' Zhang Yuan's eyes grew tender and at this time, Xue Hua also woke up.
Clutching her head in mild pain, she moved her body and Ming Yuelin let go of her as she stood straight.
"Hua, how do you feel now?"
Hearing his voice, Xue Hua raised her head and looked at Zhang Yuan "I am alright... Master."
Mei Yu came towards them "You have already begun to call him Master?" she said with a giggle.
Xue Hua realized and bowed her head "Forgive me... I called you Master before you acknowledge me as your disciple."
Zhang Yuan shook his head and a faint smile creased his lips "I accept you as my disciple."
Seeing his faint smile, Xue Hua's heart fluttered and she spoke "Thank you Master, this disciple will work hard."
'So... she is also his disciple now?' Ming Yuelin's eyes wavered with emotions. She kind of wants to be his one and only disciple...
So he will only train her and all of his attention would be on her.
Is it wrong to think like that?
She turned her blue eyes to look at the handsome face of Zhang Yuan and hugged him "Master..."
Hm? Zhang Yuan was surprised by her sudden hug and raised an eyebrow "What happened, Lin'er?"
Nuzzling her face on his shoulder, she shook her head "Nothing Master... I just wanted to hug you. Can't your disciple hug you, Master?"
With a chuckle, Zhang Yuan hugged her back, his hands wrapping around her waist "It's not like that Lin'er. You can hug me whenever you want."
Ming Yuelin closed her eyes as a smile crept over her lips and relished in his presence "Master..."
Xue Hua had an indifferent face looking at the intimate scene and glanced at her hand 'The Devil was killed. Wouldn't that anger the deity?'
'And my Master... he killed the Devil which is the subject of the Goddess of Death. He is so powerful...' Her eyes were full of admiration looking at him.
*swoosh* At this time, suddenly the whole world turned dark, and dark clouds loomed over their heads.
Xue Hua was startled and raised her head looking at the black sky.
And at this time, a sinister presence fell on the world...
