when he opens his eyes again, he's back to where he was before falling unconscious, arms supporting your body.

he turns to where the great rakshasa kneels, hearing the same sizzling sound—although very faint.

if i use the great heavenly pearl absorption technique and stop it midway, i should be able to capture her soul.

raising his arm and hand up to point towards the great rakshasa, using the said technique to absorb your soul piece and stopping it midway before it could get sucked by the heavenly pearl.

in his hand, is your soul.

just a mere piece of it, but it squirms in his hold, the pale colour so fascinating in his eyes. there's nothing in particular he can feel but the sorrow it exudes.

holding back a sigh, he lets the piece touch the mark on your stomach, watching as it slowly stops sizzling, and your body stops writhing in pain.

did that do the job?

your tightly shut eyes relax, your ragged breathing slowly stables, and the blood that poured out of your lips came to a stop.

you stopped showing all signs of pain, but your body has went limp.

"sister mantis?" red monkey calls out with a shaky voice, checking for a pulse once you completely stop moving.

she lets out a relieved sigh once she feels a slow but stable pulse.

shifting your body so yi zaha could have one arm under the back of your knees and the other supporting your back, he stands up, relaxing at the way your head rests on his chest.

"black rabbit union, clean up the interior and clear the streets of the corpses that are lying around." he gives out orders to his men before turning to the heavenly generals.

"as for the remaining generals, let's have a talk. administrator byeok, red monkey, and gold boat, you enter as well. i will join after i lay ( y/n ) in the infirmary."

━━━━┅━━━┅━━━━

"from now on, i am your great brother." yi zaha announces as he sits in the middle of the room after having made sure you're resting in bed comfortably.

"..pardon?"

"i'd act as your master if i ever taught you anything, but since im visibly younger than all of you, great brother would be perfect. does anyone object?"

????

you're gonna be the great brother because you're the youngest??

"now, i will tell my brothers what you have to ado now. i'll challenge you to a martial deathmatch if you make me repeat anything, so listen as closely and properly as possible."

red monkey and gold boar answer, but the three on the other side of the room only silently agree.

people who've shared pork ribs together certainly share a deep bond.

"now then~ brothers, let's be comfortable with each other now that great master rakshasa is dead."

no answer.

"be comfortable."

"...yes."

"i understand."
