Road to the Dead

Chapter 7: Moon Devil Palace

I turn around to thank my angel but it wasn't him. Who is he?

I just blankly stared at him. Ah! Another piece of heaven's creation. An exposed chest with pairs of tanned abs, shiny silver long hair, sword like brows and thick long lashes. A complete epitome of 'manly' oozing off of him.

He actually had two different coloured pupils- one pure black that seemed deeper than any pit and the other one fiery golden like a Phoenix.

I quickly grab a hold of myself and politely said, "Thank you for saving (my butt) me back there. I would've become a roasted chicken if not for you." Almost laughing at my own expression.

He didn't respond instead just kept blankly staring at me. Oh well, whatever. Just when I thought everything was fine and better once again, I started feeling dizzy. The fear and tiredness of the time spent in the tunnel suddenly burst in me as I fell unconscious. Damn! I've been playing dead way too much. How many times more do I have to fall unconscious? And what's with all the bad luck crowding me!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A bright light began to illuminate my dark world as I immediately open my eyes. Ouch! I directed my gaze towards the source of the light. Holy macaroni! Is that the sun right in front of my face? It looked like a ball of fire. Cool- crap! It's getting bigger? Woah woah wait! That no sun! That's a freaking fireball! Shit, I'm dead! Sadly enough, I just froze with these train of thoughts as I watched the fireball rushing towards me.

Oh my angel, I couldn't even kiss you once! As I was lamenting at my own bad luck of always attracting trouble, an equally large blue fireball suddenly collided with the incoming fireball. I closed my eyes waiting for the impact of the collision but it never came. I opened my eyes only to see- why is it so dark... Don't tell me! Did I just teleport to the starting line? I looked carefully and noticed something huge covering my whole being! I look up and... It's a dragon! A freaking huge dragon! It had a skin of navy blue with scales sparkling nylon blue now and then. Though it looked fierce, it was truly very beautiful.

The dragon had a black and a golden eye. Black? Golden? "Mr. Manly Man?" I questioned aloud. The dragon seem to have heard my voice and it started shrinking. In just a few seconds it was back to it's human form.

"I'm Wuye Lan." A magnetic voice pulled me out of my trance. Ah! Now he's speaking without moving it's mouth! But now that I look at him, he rather has a cold and stoic face. "I'm Zhu Shen. Nice to meet you." He said nothing and just raised an eye brow.

Remembering something- just how long was I asleep again? Damn my life will end just by sleeping and nothing else. "Um... How long was I asleep?" I asked waiting for the answer.

"2 weeks" the magnetic voice sounded again. 2 weeks... 2 weeks... well, I'm not surprised at all. Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something. Oh well! I'll think about it later.

"Master! Master, where are you?" A certain fluffball was flying desperately in the forest.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It's been 5 hours now that I've been locked up! Yes! Locked up! Goodness just what did I do? And I also remembered what I forgot. Xiao Bai! It was nowhere to be seen. Oh! And how exactly I ended up being imprisoned? Well...

---FLASHBACK---

When I came around, I realized I was in a totally different place. I was currently standing on a huge floating island which had only one cave. The whole island was filled with lush greenery. The scenery was breathtaking, i just couldn't get enough of all the fairy land here!
