Chapter 178: That’s How It Is
The black fog got thicker and Shengli felt Xing starting to get enveloped by the back fog and everything was happening within a minute and Shengli didn’t know how to stop this.
Just then majestic roar echoed inside that room as Fei Lian appeared in his tiger form and his roar made the fog loose strength and Shengli could feel Xing getting her consciousness back.
"You thought of touching her under my watch?", Fei Lian roared and the fog retreated and disappeared entirely.
Shengli looked at the God who had now transformed to his humanoid form walking towards them in larger strides with his face showing emotions filled with concern, anger and disappointment clearly. He had the same expression back in the library fire too.
Shengli could never understand this God. He had known him for long as Xing introduced him to him and he never looked at him with good intentions. Shengli knew this god wanted him dead and he never even hid that fact. Only Xing didn’t see it because for her this god is someone close to a father figure and that god was a hypocrite who masked his hatred towards him perfectly well in front of her.
But lately this God is fine with him and even helping him for some reason...? Or is it just an illusion?
When the Fox Prince told her about the hidden mark of spell on her forehead is to say that his Xing is that god’s... surprisingly, he didn’t get angry or jealous as he should have been. For some reason, this god is willing to go all out of his way for her, even helping her get her lover who is an abomination in their eyes and Shengli could not find any plausible reason for this god willing to do all that.
Well, whatever! As long as he is helping Xing!
"Little one! Wake up", Fei Lian patted Xing who was in Shengli’s arms, in the cheek and Xing woke up. Shengli was relaxed only then.
"What happened? What does he want?", he grabbed her shoulders and asked her in an interrogatory tone,which made the groggy Xing a little uncomfortable.
"Huh! Wait...", she sat up straight and rubbed her eyes and Shengli stood up to get some water for her. Xing had been having dreams in the past couple of days of her returning back to the Netherworld but today the dream was so lucid and even King Yan was there with his pervy smile calling her to him.
"He wants me... That pervert... ! But I don’t want to see his face ", she said gritting her teeth after she drank the warm water Shengli gave her and Shengli patted her back to comfort her. Shengli’s eyes had a dangerous glint and he was biting his lips in frustration... If it was some human who had made such indecent advances on her, he’d have been shred to pieces by his own hands and fed to pigs by now. But what could a mere mortal like him do to the god of death?
