The Light and The Shadow

Chapter 15: kiss

3 years later...

Hui Ying

I have hate. So much hate. They always say, 'The Heavenly Realm is the purest place to live'. But were can you see that? They have too many hate. For demons and devils. They are living creatures too. In my opinion, Heavenly Realm is like jail. You must listen to the emperor, no matter he's right or wrong. They even dared to kill the previous Ancestral God. The Ancestral God, yes. Although I am just a Goddess, and the Devil God, I will seek vengeance. No matter if it would cost my life.

The Three Realms were very quiet, there was no war.

Three years ago, people tried to kill me. They hated me. They hated me because I am the so called 'Devil God'. Some of them are scared. But I don't get it. Three years are over, still no sign in the world of the Devil God. But..for me there is. Evil energy started circkeling around me these days. I think grandfather's powers won't last long...these days I was trying my best to control myself.

Also, three years ago, Chuntao saved me from dying. She was the little maid of the Devil God. Or known as the 'Moonlight Killer' ,  since she is killing people on bright moon. This really doesn't seem right. I want to end it  as soon as possible.

"Your Highness, guests came." Chuntao's real name is Si Ying. Chuntao came all dressed in black to me.

"Oh? Let them in!"

"But...I don't think that you will like that..." I started grabbing my scroll and started reading.

"The Three Realms are now in peace. No sign of The Devil God. That is better. They say that Demons are attacking from the east, but no one really saw it. Only scratches on walls and lava on the ground.

Li Jie, the God of War tried is best every time at war and defeated almost one million demons and devils. His new record.

Prince Zixuan is nowhere to see. He was last seen at his hall, drinking soap. After that, he went missing. Imperial soldiers are looking for him. His Majesty, the emperor is still badly wounded. He is still angry that Li Jie's wife ran away.

There is no more news about Hui Ying, or the Devil God. Many people think that Hui Ying has a plan organised to kill the whole universe, but many people also think that Li Jie is her first victim.

End of news." that was the news.. they even think Li Jie is my next victim. Such...dumb immortals.

"Your Highness, guest has come." Si Ying slowly opened the door. And I wasn't interested at all at my guest. It could be any dumb demon trying to say that I have to wake the Devil God up.

But it's my guest, so I have to treat him or her right.

"My guest, what brings you-..." A immortal in blue came towards me.

"I told you, Your Highness. That guest is not welcome, but he stopped the guards and even hurted me." Si Ying showed me her injury on her arm. It was indeed bleeding heavily.

"I see, you can rest."

"But who is going to protect you?"

"I can handle it alone." The guest came closer and closer. He even dared to come the closest to me. And he sat down on my desk. I remained silent. Let's see how far this immortal can go...

Then he grabbed my chin with his fingers.

"Shameless!" I can't see this immortals face, he had a golden mask on.

But I am also lucky. He doesn't know who I am. Because I have a mask on too.

"Beauty, why bother to put a mask on? I know you are a woman. Or maybe a beautiful one too..."

"Shameless immortal! Do you know what will happen to you? If any immortal dares, to come to me, they will get KILLED!"

"But I am not scared, you can kill me if you want."

"Be honest. Why did you came here, immortal?" I asked.

"I want to tell some words to you. May I?"

"Yes, go ahead."

"I know we are now taking different paths, I still can't forget you. I support every move you make, yet you still forget me. Have you ever....had feelings for me, Hui Ying?" How does he know my name? And why is his voice so familiar...

"Who are you? Reveal yourself!"

"Hui Ying, it might looks like that you love Li Jie, but I don't care about that. I just wanted to let you know...that I like you." What a creep. He loves me and knows about my identity.

"If you won't say who you are, you'll get killed in my hands!" 

"Go ahead then." I pointed my sword at him.

And I sliced his mask it two.

I looked in the bright eyes of the immortal. His light is different..but the light covered his beautiful smile. I could sense a little bit of jealousy in his heart.

Then he grabbed my hand.

"I hope, that you wont take the wrong path. Hui Ying." And the light disappeared, and now I could fully see his face.

His beautiful soft face, with curly wavy hair.

Why is he here? How does he know that I am Hui Ying? I got a mask on...and since when...did he like me..I described ourself as friends. Nothing more..

"Shameless! You wrongly accused me for somebody else!" He grabbed the sword in my hand, and then he dropped it on the ground.

He slowly took my mask off, and looked in my eyes.

It was silent for a moment, we were just staring at eachother. I don't know why..but he is indeed smart. It looked like that he really likes me.

He came closer and grabbed my chin again. He came closer, very slowly. And I closed my eyes. 

It was indeed embarassing for me to see him, because I don't want to let him know that I became like this..but I also don't know why I closed my eyes.

Li Jie..I think he found another girl. He must have moved on. I don't think he thinks about me.

I closed my eyes, and could feel his sweet lips on me.

Within 10 seconds, he let go and left.

"You-" I said.

"Don't forget me, Your Highness." And he left.

Note: Can you guess who the immortal is? ;)
