Snow Phoenix

16. Devided soul

"N-no... It's nothing like that... Actually, I-I'm not the Zhan you got married to~~~"

" W-what... qizi... what do you mean by that? I-I know you are angry with me, but I will accept whatever punishment you want to give me. But, please don't say something like this..."

"No, Your majesty it's nothing like that. There are some things I want you to know, then you can decide what you want to do with me..."

Zhan left Yibo's embrace, so Yibo was getting more worried now... 

" Your majesty, whatever I'm going to tell you now... might sound unreal, but I'm not lying. Actually, I'm not the Zhan you got married to. I'm not even from this kingdom or this timeline. I'm from the future and I belong to a different country. It's hard to believe, but when I died in my timeline; I woke up here. I had little knowledge of deep meditation and the subconscious mind, and with that, I was able to regain the memories of Xiao Zhan. The only reason I could think of is, maybe Zhan also died like me. And I have no idea where his soul is right now... I wanted to go back to my timeline, but I know that my body was too injured to be healed. I tried to gather information about soul inquiry. So that I can find Zhan, but don't have much knowledge about these things. I'm sorry for hiding all those things from you, I should have told you everything earlier... But, when I got those memories of Zhan it felt like I was the one who had gone through all that pain. I was angry with everyone. I'm sorry... I'll leave once I gave your heir back to you with his human body."

Zhan never wanted to leave his baby alone, and he loved this man in front of him so much. But he knew that was not his place, and once Yibo get to know the truth he will never accept him as his Zhan. Even if he thinks of himself as Zhan ( He doesn't know, why? ). But that doesn't mean the emperor will accept him as a Mate.

On the other hand, Yibo has no idea how to react to this... All his life he was waiting for his mate, and today when he finally meets him, he realized that his mate was with him all along.

First, he acted like a jerk and hurt his mate. Then he got to know that he almost killed their child, and as if that wasn't enough his mate said that he is not a real Zhan and that the real Zhan is dead too... 

" No no no... that can't be t-true... my Zhan, my mate... Zhann... baobao... please don't say something like this. The guilt of killing my child is unbearable, please don't say something like this now... Please... If you are so angry just punish me or better just killed me, I promise I'll be a better mate for you in my next life... But please don't say this. You are my Zhan... you are my Mate..."

Yibo was sobbing like a baby now, and little Zuzu was getting uncomfortable seeing his adie crying. He started shedding his precious pearly tears... Zhan felt bad now, but he can't lie to the man he loves. All he could do right now is to hold them close and give them his warmth. He started giving small pecks to both of them softly until they stopped crying...

" Look at you two... It was hard to handle one dragon and now I have to handle two... Stop crying now and you should eat first... And my Zuzu... come here baby, let dada eat his food... And you should rest too. "

" B-but Zhan..."

" Your majesty you need to eat first so that you can stay healthy and provide energy to Zuzu..."

Yibo didn't argue further he started eating like an obedient kid. Glancing at his wife and baby once in a while. He was so confused, all he knew was that Zhan is a divine snow, more like an immortal. So there is no way, that any soul could just possess the body of an immortal. Another thing was, he never felt any presence of spirit in Zhan before that incident. So if this is another person and now he can feel the presence of his mate... Does that mean the previous Zhan was the one who possessed his mate's body? And now that Zhan is dead, so his mate's soul returned to his body. But again, how can anyone possess and body of divine snow...

After lunch Yibo sat on the edge of the bed, beside Zhan who was looking at baby Zuzu sleeping peacefully...

" umm... Zhan, I don't know what exactly happened, but I know one thing, no one can just possess the body of an immortal. And you are divine snow Zhan, even though I don't know what's your spirit yet, but if you are not Zhan then this body won't accept you. And you definitely can't use your spiritual powers in someone else's body. "

Now it was Zhan who got more confused... If what Yibo said is true, then what exactly happened that day? Why is he here? What he really is? There were so many questions and no way to find the answers, but before he could say anything, a soothing breeze of wind came in through the window. And then he saw fairies given to him by his grandparents...

" Greetings young master. There is something you should know..."

Zhan was surprised to see them, he sent them to the forest to get some rest and created a safety barrier around them... But Yibo was more shocked, he had never in his life seen something like these tiny creatures. He had only heard about little fairies in stories. Most of all, those fairies call Zhan a YOUNG MASTER !!! Then he remembered Yubin once told him that Zhan has fairies given by his grandparents and those fairies take care of all his needs. 

" What are you all doing here, didn't I ask you to take some rest, ha?" Zhan asked them in his fake angry voice.

" We are sorry young master... But we need to tell you something important."

" Okay. But after that, you will get your rest."

Then one of the fairies said, " Young master we know that you are not from this timeline..."

Zhan stiffen a bit, but didn't react further... he knew one day everyone close to Zhan will know...

That fairy continued further, " We know that you might have many questions, so we will try to help you as much as we can... But first please listen carefully.

Master you might feel like this is not your life, and your body... but that's not true. You are the real Xiao Zhan. Son of Master Xiao and Madam Xiao..."

Yibo confusedly asked," Does that means the previous Zhan was fake...!!!"

" No, your majesty... Actually, at the time of the young master's birth a scholar who could predict the future told our master that he is not safe here... So to keep him safe elders from our madam's family had to divide his soul. As most of the part of his soul has been removed, his spirit followed that part of the soul. That's why the remaining soul was so weak, so when another wife of master Xiao tried to kill you... Master used that opportunity to tell everyone that your spirit has been damaged. But in reality spirit and soul of someone who has the blood of legendary Phoenix in them, can not be hurt in any way... They don't have the effect of any known poison to this date. But they have only one weakness... If they are pregnant they are most vulnerable, that's why our madam died when she was pregnant with the third child. And You also got injured when his majesty used his power on you. 

When the third young master died in a womb, elders preserved that body for you. They were planning to keep you at the celestial mountain. But then the Moon goddess appeared. She said you are the reincarnation of her own child, the one who started your clan, the first ancestor of your clan THE SNOW PHOENIX... And the enemy you had to deal with was so powerful, that he could have killed you easily in your baby form. Your powers can only regain around your 18th birthday... So she helped us to let you be born in another timeline.

They planned to bring you back after your 18th birthday so that your powers will be awakened and they wanted to train you in that life so you will be safe once you come here. But after that incident, your remaining soul in this body was shattered, and your body was of an Immortal's. So it can pull back its soul from any timeline or any place. But it can not summon the soul which had been shattered... Shattered souls lose their memories, to summon them you need to follow a special ritual.

We have to perform that ritual on your upcoming birthday which is also a blue moon day this year... A perfect day for Mating with your fated Mate. So in short Young Master, you are Xiao Zhan, A Snow Phonix reincarnation, the fated Mate of Fire dragon... And this is your real life..."

All these things were too much to handle for both Zhan and Yibo. So fairies decided to leave them alone for some time...
