Snow Phoenix

17. Has to Hurt him again...

Things were not easy for Zhan and Yibo to handle... For Zhan, it was worse. For so many days, he was trying to keep his emotions in check, knowing that the old Zhan who had gone through all this mess was now dead, so he should probably forget about this revenge stuff and live his life peacefully... But, how can he ignore all the things that happen to him, his mother, his younger brother, And his son... And this is not even the end yet, there is also a so-called strongest enemy. How can he do all this? His powers are not awakened yet... He knows his Identity because someone else told him... But he can't remember anything... He had no idea how he was going to keep up with all this mess.

On the other hand, Yibo felt horrible for treating his Mate the way he did. From the day he was born, his mate had suffered so much that his soul was shattered... He had read about dividing the soul in some old texts in the library. That's a painful procedure, not physically but mentally and emotionally. If one tried that in a random common soul, that soul would be shattered into pieces. But Zhan's case was different, he is as strong as Yibo... But being a child of the moon goddess his soul must be more potent than Yibo's. But in the end, the remaining part of his soul was shattered by Yibo himself. And now his mate might be in danger because he was brought back here without his full powers and training. He was now more determined to save his mate and their baby.

But if their enemy knows that Zhan is that divine snow, they will attack him sooner, and they are not prepared yet... Yibo had no choice other than to hurt his mate again...

Seeing that Zhan was still in a daze, he took out a small bottle from his sleeves and poured the liquid in that bottle into a cup of tea. He put that cup on Zhan's lips and helped him to drink the tea. Soon Zhan felt weak and fainted. Yibo made sure to cover Zhan's face properly and called his dark guards and Yubin.

He explained his plan to them, but Yubin was reluctant to do it. But he needs to keep his master safe. And for that, he had to act according to it. They can't include Zhan in this plan for multiple reasons. And the most important reason is he is a terrible liar. And he is aura will change immediately whenever he is nervous, with Zhan they will get caught easily. In this whole mess, Zhan will be hurt too much; but for now, they have no choice. During their planning many times Yibo felt that whatever he was doing might be wrong, but then a blurry figure appeared in the middle of the room, and bright light started emitting through it. When the light dimmed a little, they could see a gorgeous woman-... no, a goddess in the middle of the room. It didn't take much time for Yibo to realize who she was, a Moon Goddess. Mother of his Mate... He felt sudden shame rising in him, he knelt immediately while others followed suit. With so many emotions going through his head, he could only utter a one-word apology through his mouth, " Sorry " he said looking at the ground. But only if he could have seen her face, full of love and warmth for him. Others could see it but not Yibo... But when he heard her calling his real name "Wangji", with a voice full of love and care... He couldn't act strong anymore and started crying silently. And when he felt a warm touch on his head he started sobbing like a toddler lost in the crowd.

"Maa... I-I'm sorry... I was not capable of taking care of him. I harmed him and our baby. I was a bad mate and father... I-I promise I will accept any punishment, but please keep them safe... Please..."

"Don't cry, my child... it's all your destiny. Everything happens for a reason. I agree that it happened sooner than it should, a-ying is not ready yet. But what you have planned right now needs to be done. A-Ying will be hurt, but we do not have any other choice. Your baby losing his human body now was also for a reason. He can't be born yet. And you know the reason very well. I just have a few suggestions for your plan dear. So we can get some time to prepare for the war..."

" Please tell us maa... we need your help..."

Moon goddess starts explaining everything, and they make changes in their plan accordingly. She sat beside Zhan for some time, caressing his delicate face, then disappeared into thin air.

Yibo started working according to plan. A few people were escorted into the cottage by dark guards per the moon goddess's instructions. They made themselves look a little haggard, then dark guards bound them with a special rope. The same thing was done with Yubin and lastly... very reluctantly Yibo allows one of his guards to hold Zhan. Soon they were teleported back to the palace, where courtiers were still waiting for the emperor...

They were shocked to see their emperor almost crying, some were jealous, some were angry, but a particular group of people wanted to see him broken. They were also happy to find out who the divine snow was... It was hard to believe though, and they are still not sure. Everyone was slowly murmuring about today's chaos, and that's when the emperor returned with his dark guards and a few prisoners. Zhan was unconscious, and Yibo's face was cold as always... He walked toward his crown, gathering everyone's attention. And order,-

" Throw water on that whore's face, no need to show any mercy."
