A Tear Frozen in Time

His Beautiful Eyes

In disbelief, Mo Yuan watched her leave in a burst of angry energy while leaving the entire worlds leaders just as angry at her departure for the second time that day and it was becoming very obvious to them, that Mo Yuan and Ye Hua were responsible.  Especially after her parting words to them which instantly had Di Jun moving into damage control seeing as Ye Hua looked as if he was going to send a war party after her while Mo Yuan looked as he was going to war with Ye Hua.

"Ye Hua.  A private word." Mo Yuan said softly but in a tone that did not leave room for negotiation nor was it loud enough for Li Jing to hear seeing as he was hovering a little too closely and also furious enough to demand attention which he was trying to get by inching closer.

"Not now High God Mo Yuan.  I have to stop her." Ye Hua replied and turned to walk away only to lightly stumble when a wave of heated energy hit the centre of his spine.

"Now if you please." Mo Yuans voice suddenly darkened behind him and forcing his brother to turn around.

There was far more to her parting words than was actually said, and for her to deem the Celestial Heavens an enemy suggested that what ever happened between herself and his brother, fully tipped the scales the moment she learned of his relationship to Ye Hua.

"What the hell are you doing?" Ye Huas voice seethed quietly so as to also keep whatever was happening to himself.

With a slight turn of his body and a wave of his hand towards the corridors, Mo Yuans intentions were clear enough.  "My chamber or yours?" he asked as the soft brown eyes lost the sparkle that was always there under the surface and hardened as they held his brothers captive.

To the onlookers, nothing out of the ordinary was happening, it merely looked as if the two were sharing some kind of brotherly moment, only Ye Huas mind was in turmoil.  Mo Yuan may have been weakened from his time in the chaos, but the power of that raw energy was suffocating and demanded his attention and had he been any other man he may have fought back.

But like everyone else there, Ye Hua was just as much in awe of him, the reverence for this powerful High God outweighed whatever brotherly bond that they had, and for a moment, his eyes pleaded with Mo Yuan to release him, because the longer he stalled, the tighter Mo Yuan grip on him became until he was forced to make a decision.

If he refused, then the attention that was already on them would only increase the anxiousness he could feel coming from Di Jun who was struggling to get the leaders back inside and being the Crown Prince, meant he could not afford to exude anything other than confidence and control.

"Very well, but this meeting is still progress, kindly keep it short." Ye Huas own voice hardened at being forced into a situation he was already struggling internally to remove himself from while also wondering why she had attacked so publicly, not to mention agree to a meeting with the Demon who he had been trying for centuries to gain.

Quietly slipping away, Di Jun kept his eye on both of them as he ordered the meeting to continue.  For now, there was no need for Ye Huas presence, because he could deal with the questions he knew was coming himself, but like Mo Yuan, he too had questions of his own and having witnessed the way Qing Qius Queen had rudely departed along with the Deomon Overlord, he was not feeling all that confident.  In fact he was angry because to his mind, it looked as if she and he had used this meeting to create a diversion.

Not only was he hearing mumblings of discontent coming from the other leaders but several were already discussing whether an alliance with the Celestials was even viable, especially if Qing Qiu and the Demons joined forces.  Her power and knowledge was unmatched even by Celestial standards, while he was just as formidible.  His armies were vast, his wealth enormous and his knowledge in the dark arts unmatched, if she joined with the Demons, it would make them one very powerful enemy.
