The Soul Reaper's Avidity | Guardian 镇魂

The Beginning (7)

❝ Yearning for Affection ❞

ShenNong is a God like Kunlun, who's the responsible for the creation of the Wheel of Reincarnation. He is taller than him, his features seems not likely more handsome than him, perhaps, I feel too infatuated that I see Kunlun Jun more handsome than anyone I knew.

Yet, for thousands of years, ShenNong's hatred on the ghost tribe is endless. Kunlun Jun chuckled and sat down in a soft cushion near him. ShenNong on the other hand, walk towards him to talk to him about a private matter. I decide to sit still and be calm around him and that way Kunlun might not be disappoint at me.

Using my ability hear more compare to a normal human's ear can hear, I secretly heard Kunlun and ShenNong's conversation. I watch attentively as ShenNong stood beside Kunlun and it seems ShenNong is the one who start the conversation.

ShenNong, "Kunlun, do you think this ghost king didn't harm you?"

Lord Kunlun, "He is not, trust me. That young boy save me from one of his tribe."

He replied, "Really? Anything heard about Nuwa?"

Kunlun shook his head, "Hmm, last time she appeared to me and told me about the pillar...somehow, that is all I know."

ShenNong, "You know that my time is come, right?"

He added, "Kunlun, Nuwa is too and you know it...the only God that have the ability to guard the pillar is you...for now, I may turn Godless...I need to continue in creating the wheel of reincarnation."

"Well then, since my business here is done, I shall go on my way." ShenNong waved at Kunlun Jun as I watch stealthily behind. Da Qing notice my gaze and whispered, "Well...is it the little ghost king really like my master eh?"

I ignore the cat's mumbling as I watch the God ShenNong walk away in Kunlun Jun's place, I let out deep sigh and watch Kunlun Jun walk towards me.

Kunlun Jun, "Wei, You can now stay here if you like, you can leave if you like...but I tell you, no one escape this mountain but me...If, you kill me."

My eyes widen on what he just said, kill you...? But...I...I fancy you...

"I-I won't leave Kunlun Jun...there is no way I will kill you...I-I want to stay here with you..." I replied. I deeply knew inside that I hate my kind and I hope staying here with him will make him enlightened.

Alone in this lonesome mountain, with his God-like features and this pure aura all around...

Who would care for him? NO WAY WOULD SOMEONE CARE FOR HIM!

Only me...only I can care for him...

And that is how my stay with Kunlun Jun started, I use all my time to make effort just to make him happy. Such as, finding some unique objects around the mountain to please him...I heard in my kind that the way to get the heart of your soulmate is to make effort by giving gifts.

So that is how, I venture all around the mountain by slaying thirty-six beasts to collect its teeth and use the strand of my long hair to turn it into a beautiful necklace. Oh he would be very pleased! My innocent young self-muttered.

I walk my way towards the peach woods where Kunlun Jun is always there gazing on the moonless sky. My heart softens when I saw him there and a sudden pound of my chest endure as my footsteps towards him getting closer.

I held a deep breath and call his name, "Kunlun Jun!" I exclaim and he turn around. The trembling of my body disappeared as I walk closer to him, "Kunlun Jun, please take this necklace I made for you...I-I slay thirty-six beasts wandering around the area and collect its teeth."

"I use the strand of my hair to knit them together in a necklace for you..." I added. I reach the handmade necklace towards him and he gaze toward it, "Hmm, very well...thank you."

I smiled while I give the necklace to him, I watch him place the necklace behind his robes and make his way towards the tree. I deeply hoped that he would wear it so that I could feel he appreciate my efforts. Well, since it's the day I give it to him...I think it takes time.

(This is the most accurate image i could find, also, i use the English translation of the novel as my reference of finding this object.)
