The next moment his senses started to work again, he felt a wave of cool and refreshing air mixed with the faint scent of flowers assailing his nostrils.
He opened his eyes and found a scenery completely different from that he remembered some seconds ago, there was dark green grass, a small running river and trees of various height and width were unevenly distributed everywhere.
Jean: Aaaaalright, where the fuck am I now?
The Evil God mentioned about sending him to a special place, but this didn't seem to be special in any way and it didn't ring any bell in his head…
?: Save me… Save me…
Suddenly, a cry for help from a young girl echoed from nearby. Those cries seemed to be getting near along with chaotic footsteps.
Being a Sky Profound Cultivator, it was a joke for him to try to see something at such a small distance, in his point of view. He just glanced around and saw a little girl wearing yellow clothes fleeing his way.
She seemed to be a cultivator since the speed at which she was running wasn't slow at all, she clearly established the foundations of profound strength.
Behind her, 3 men in black calmly and unhurriedly chased her as thry teasingly laughed.
Man 1: Hey hey, you can run all you want. Let's see how far you can run once you run out of strength…
Why… Why such a damn clichè scene appeared in front of him? Well, he isn't the hero of the situation…
*Plop*
The weary little girl fell on the ground, she struggled for a bit, but she couldn't get up. Her tears already filled her eyes and clenched her teeth, but she was still not letting her tears flow out.
Oh, c'mon… That's unfair, why did Jean even turned around? Now he will feel a bit guilty if he let her alone…
Behind the girl, the three men walked over.
Man 2: Su Ling'er, run again, keep running… hahahaha….
*Disk screeching*
...Nig** what?
His head bolted back towards the little girl. Su Ling'er… The girl who was one of his heaviest pain, the girl whom he was the most sympathetic for, who was also the biggest regret in his second lifetime, was engraved deeply in his heart.
Her eyes were forever that gloomy, as she had forever been silently caring, keeping watch, spending all efforts, and waiting for him… However, even after all the efforts that she had spent, until the moment she died, she never managed to wait for his return.
He knew that she carried a blood feud, yet, until the end, he never knew what her past was. She refused to tell him, and even until her death in his arms, she was unwilling to tell him whose deadly hands she died under…
Because she was unwilling to pass on another layer of vengeance to him, who had long lost himself in his own vengeance. However, the more important reason, was still himself… If he could have cared for her more, and was more persistent in knowing about her past, he could have definitely known of her enemies much earlier.
Right now his soul was a bit of a mess, Xiao Che is Jean Dennel, Jean Dennel is Yun Che, Yun Che is Xiao Che. Even though Jean was the most dominant one between all 3 of his souls, he still remembered the love and pain he felt in his other 2 lifelines.
He was unable to do anything in the second lifeline, at least… Even if it's not really his Su Ling'er… Could he repay her even in the slightest bit by saving the little girl that carried her same name?
Su Ling'er always took care of him in the second lifeline, when he was hurt, she would take care of him, when he was depressed, she would take care of him…
If a person like her was beside him in the third lifeline, at least before he truly became a vegetable, he would not feel so bad when he was in the hospital bed, knowing that people like her still existed in Earth.
Then he just noticed that a black-clothed man picked the young girl, and said.
Man 3: This sure is a stubborn little brat, to actually br able to run so far… Hehe, now thatbhis daughter has landed in our hands, I really want to see if old man Su Huangshan will still be as obstinate!
Su Ling'er: You… You bad people! Papa will definitely save me, and then beat all of you down!
She continued to struggle and shout in the black clothed man's hands even if she was filled with fear.
Man 3: Hahahaha! Then that will really be the best outcome, I really hope to have him here! I really want to see if that Su Huangshan…
His words were interrupted when an hand reached for his left shoulder, he glanced around and saw Jean looking at him with narrowed eyes.
Jean: Let her go.
Man 3: Tch, where did this random brat come from? To actually dare-*Crack!*
Suddenly, the hand on the man's shoulder pushed him down, causing a him to kneel inside a crater caused from the force of the hand.
Man 3: Gah… W-What happened…?!
Jean: Last chance, let her go.
Man 3: F-Fucking bastard… W… Where are… The others…?
He glanced around, but with his movements slightly restricted, he was able to see something small in the corner of his eyes, it was a twisted and mangled hand with broken fingers standing over a puddle of blood.
Jean used Compulsory on them, twisting every single bone and muscle the other 2 men had, reducing them to paste.
Man 3: M… Monster… You monst-...
He froze for an instant, before he remained silent, he looked so calm as his head turned back to the struggling Su Ling'er, and covered her eyes, before giving her to Jean. When Jean held her, the man's body started to twist, starting from the limbs, then the neck, and for last every single bone he possessed, twisted and reshaped in a terrific way.
Su Ling'er: L-Leave me alone…
Jean: Don't worry, I won't hurt you…
He covered her eyed to make sure she didn't witness the horrific scene in front of them, but MAYBE Su Ling'er wasn't the only one that needed it…
Jasmine: What… What the hell was that…?!
It's not every day you would see a body getting twisted in such way, and it sure as fuck wasn't the best thing to see… Even Jean would have freaked out if it wasn't for being the culprit of this thing.
When Jean turned around while ignoring Jasmine, he put away the hand from Su Ling'er's eyes, and placed her in the ground.
Su Ling'er: You… You won't hurt me?
Jean wanted to answer, but the words remained stuck in his throat when he saw Su Ling'er's face closely… Is this a fucking joke?! She even looks like his Su Ling'er!
So he just nodded and gulped some saliva… Then he slowly raised his hand and head patted her, but she didn't seem to reject that and politely said.
Su Ling'er: Big brother, thank you for saving me… Big brother, what happened to the bad guys?
She tilted her head towards left, but Jean immediately snapped out from his daze and stopped her from looking.
Jean: Just… Just don't worry, there's nothing to see, they are gone… So, you're called Su Ling'er?
Su Ling'er: Mn! Big brother, how do you know my name?
Jean: I heard it when they shouted for you. Then… little sister, how old are you this year?
Su Ling'er: Ten years old!
She reached out her two hands, stretched her ten fingers, and said with a huge grin. It seemed as though, to her, reaching ten years old was a very incredible achievement. She then asked him back.
Su Ling'er: Then, big brother, what's your name?
Name… Now that he thought about it, his real name wasn't Jean now… He said he would be called Jean until he would have found his real parents, but… It won't hurt introducing properly, does it?
Jean: ...My name is Yun Che.
Hello guys, I turned back here! Now I have some things to say.
First, "Bless this wonderful world with a... Void Highlord?" will stop at chapter 42, then a hiatus will come, because I don't have the right equipment to efficiently write the future chapters.
Second, I can't promise daily chapters in Sternritter's Calendar because I still need to stack chapters, and I don't know if I later I will accidentally run out of them, but i will do my best.
