The fated ones

Chapter 20

The moment donghua felt his conscious coming back to him, he knew something was wrong. He felt empty somehow. Thinking back to the moment before he fainted, he remembered it all. The flashbacks came rolling at the speed of light and his only thought was xaio bai, she was hurt and someone had taken her away from.

The moment he realized his arms were empty because someone had dared to take his wounded little fox away from him. He lost all control over his emotions. And for a god with powers like him, controlling his emotions was more important than breathing. The instant his control evaporated; his anger became a tool for universal destruction.

It wasn't just mo yuan who had sensed the change in weather was because of donghua's anger, bai zhi and zhe yan had felt it too. Their suspicions were confirmed when lightning came raining down on the fox den from all sides. They quickly went to find donghua before he destroyed the whole den. As they approached, the waves of anger that were coming from donghua told them that he had lost all semblance of control over his emotions. Realizing what this meant, they rushed and saw donghua coming out of the room he was in with a wild, crazed look in his eyes. The anger that rolled off him in bursts of power had destroyed everything down this hallway, they could even feel the ancient walls cracking under pressure. As he moved, it looked like he was frantically searching for something or someone. With a start they realized he was looking for feng jiu and now with a cure for his anger in their hands, they fearfully stepped in front of him.

"where is she?" That was all donghua said to them.

"she is here, my lord." Bai zhi said in a timid voice, trying to keep his feet underneath him, lest his anger blows him away.

"you dare to take her from me" donghua roared increasing the power fuelling his anger. By now all the occupants of the fox den had gathered there. They were nothing but children compared to the three ancient gods in the hallway, they had no idea what donghua's anger could do if not treated carefully and rightfully so, they were scared for their lives.

Seeing donghua's anger rise, both the ancient gods, kowtowed in front of donghua, hoping to soothe his anger.

"We dare not to do so, my lord. She is sleeping in the next room, my lord. Please calm down, my lord before the fox den crumbles down. This little den cannot handle the weight of your anger, my lord." Zhe yan said kneeling at his feet.

The moment donghua heard she was nearby, his anger started receding. He closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, taking control of his emotions again. Back to normal, he looked down at zhe yan and bai zhi still bashing their heads.

"rise. Take me to her. And explain what happened." With a wave of his hand, the fox den was reinforced back to its original strength.

Rising bai zhi and zhe yan lead him to her all the while zhe yan explained what had happened but not telling him about feng jiu's current situation till she was in front of them. At least, with feng jiu in front of him, we won't end up at the tip of canghe, zhe yann thought to himself.

When donghua finally saw xaio bai in front of him, his body sagged in relief. That lasted until zhe yan told him something was wrong with her spirit.

"explain" came the hard-cold command.

As zhe yan explained that for the past month every aspect of her being had been perfectly fine until two weeks ago when her spirit had slowly started to retreat within itself.

Donghua sat beside her unconscious form and started checking her vitals and then her aura. The moment he touched her aura with his, it expanded and he looked at it in amazement.

Bai zhi had been by donghua's side for millenia's now. So even though the old rock showed no expressions, he could still read his subtle eye movements albeit with much difficulty. And right now, donghua's wide eyes told him something was wrong.
