Chapter 16: Godspeed
At the Dark Cave River.
A sinister present with an ominous and menacing aura suddenly appeared in front of Wu Hu Fei.
"Who is it?!". Wu Hu Fei looked around her nervously and found no one but her hair was blown furiously by a baleful wind.
"I repeat, Who is here? Show yourself before I burn you with my Phoenix Fire!". Then she heard it.
A threatening and frightening shriek of laughter followed by a dual voice of man and woman.
"HiHiHiHi... I am an Alpha soul... Your Phoenix fire is useless in my present! HiHiHiHi..."
Still 'she' saw nothing but the 'Alpha soul' had given more pressure on its surrounding.
Wu Hu Fei was unable to move from the sudden increase of the strong ominous soul power which able to subdue 'her' Diamond Emperor magical power.
"W-what d-do y-you want? M-Maybe I-I could help you?".
"I need the goddess body!".
Wu Hu Fei was shaken with the evil soul request. The evil soul from the soul tribe could possess any living creatures by a curse of soul binding technique. The evil soul tribe was born without a body and they live by stealing the body of others with or without their consent.
"It's not mine to give!!!". 'She' refused to be in cahoots with an evil creature. To die would be preferable than live without dignity.
Then a sudden blast of light blinding Xiao Fei eyes and the ominous soul was taking over her body.
Inside Wu Hu Fei's body.
The two souls were fighting. The much weaker white soul - Xiao Fei soul- was attacking ferociously and simultaneously while the stronger black soul - the Alpha soul - evading it effortlessly.
"Get out of my body!!"
"HiHiHiHi! I have been watching you for 90 years and finally, you became weak after you drained all of your pure Yin yesterday! Such a delicious show! HiHiHi!".
Wu Hu Fei's soul was no longer shining brightly and unable to launch an attack any longer, 'she' was buying 'her' time by talking to the evil 'Alpha Soul'. Maybe the Dark Emperor will comes in her rescue.
"W-What? Had you been watching us? But why can't I feel you present until now?".
"Not only that, I even collected your love essence!"
"You, Disgusting creature! Why would you need it for?!!"
"You will know later! I have been watching you from my void space! Anyone by Yan Wang Xuan's side is a threat to my happiness. I have been waiting to possess the goddess body for 90,000 years, but I could never break the protection spell array! Until you came along and seduce him. If a mere merman soul like you could seduce him, don't you think that I could be a better candidate? After all, I am an Alpha soul and I could imitate any soul I possess! HiHiHi!".
Trembling and shaking from the realization, Xiao Hu Fei nervously said," Why it has to be the goddess body? The goddess's body is no longer young! You would not bear any descendants through it!". The Soul tribe gave birth the same way as any mammal tribe, the difference only that their babies were born without bodies.
"Do you think giving birth is the most enjoyment of being a woman? Not for me! I hate kids! I only want to be the dark emperor lover! I have been in love with him since the beginning of time. But no matter what body I used to seduce him, I had never succeeded! But the bitch, Feng Mei Shen only needs to bat her eyes and he followed her everywhere like a lapdog! HiHiHi! You wanted to escape him and I want him, Isn't it perfect?!!!".
The Wu Hu Fei knew who is the Alpha soul now. Her identify in her past life is different. She is 'her' nemesis in 'her' past life. Luckily 'her' soul had undergone a Réincarnation purification thus the Alpha soul unable to know that 'she' is 'Feng Mei Shen', the woman she addressed as 'bitch'.
I have to be careful...
She is too powerful.
She can't find out that I am the reincarnation of Feng Mei Shen's soul.
"Do we have a deal?!", asked the Alpha soul.
"I can't decide because the body is not mine. But I could ask the Dark Emperor in your stead!".
"HiHiHi. Do you think I am ignorant? I knew the Dark Emperor since the beginning! Since you disagree, I could just control your body right now, weak creature! HiHiHi! Only a merman and you dare to offend me!!! Don't blame me for not giving you a face!".
Instantly, the darkness engulfed her soul.
Her soul was locked inside her consciousness. She is a puppet now. The difference is that she knows what's going on but she is unable to control all of her five senses, even her mental power is sealed. What kind of an ominous aura is this?
She can't resist it.
Losing out the fight she thought weakly,' Darn you, Dark Emperor!!! Why you are not seeking for me when I need you? What should I do now? I couldn't hold on any longer'.
Ahhhh...
Then everything went dark and silent...
"Are you ready, merman?!!".
The Dark Emperor looked at 'her' indifferently and without knowing that something is fishy, he unlocked his mental seal on the ice coffin.
"Oh..., finally!! HiHiHi!!!" The possessed Xiao Fei was licking her lips in a seductive manner, unintentionally the Alpha soul had revealed her identity.
The seductive gesture and the evil laugher was enough to warn the Dark Emperor that something was definitely not right.
The Dark Emperor seal back the ice coffin with his powerful array and said menacingly when he recognized the familiar ominous present," Alpha soul! Get out from the merman body!!!". Then he sent out wave after wave of his formidable soul power to repel the Alpha soul from 'her' body.
"Noooo! Yan Wang Xuan! Let me serve you! The Merman didn't love you but I do!".
The Dark Emperor ignored the alpha soul plight and increased the intensity of his soul power wave, but every bit of the Alpha soul that he sent away is followed by the merman soul in equal quantity.
No!!!
The merman soul will perish alongside the Alpha soul if don't halt the wave soul attack.
The Dark Emperor halt. "Release the merman soul binding!".
"Only if you let me enter Feng Mei Shen's body!".
With great contemplation, the Dark Emperor finally nodded.
"HiHiHi. I can't believe you would surrender Feng Mei Shen's body for a mere Merman? The lowest rate creature within the heavenly realm?".
"Shut up before I change my mind!".
The Dark Emperor unsealed the ice coffin and effortlessly the Alpha soul entered Fang Mei Shen body.
"HiHiHi, finally I am inside Feng Mei Shen body!".
Satisfied with the transformation, the Alpha soul send back Wu Hu Fei's soul to 'her' merman body.
However, right after the Alpha soul sent 'her' body away, the Dark Emperor launched his soul wave power inside Feng Mei Shen's body.
"No!!!! You can't hurt me!!! If I die, the merman die!"
That when Yan Wang Xuan realized at the same time when the soul wave hurting the Alpha soul, it was also hurting Wu Hu Fei's soul.
"Nooo!!!". Wu Hu Fei shrieked at the unbelievable pain that torn 'her' soul apart, the same painful sensation earlier when the Dark Emperor attacked the Alpha Soul inside 'her' own body.
The Dark Emperor finally realized what had happened. The Alpha soul had used the life and death master and slave binding technique on the merman soul. It's similar to binding the magical beast with its master, the main difference between the two technique, instead of blood, it used a love essence. Gritting his teeth from jealousy and anger, he howled in madness and hissed, " You evildoer! Why can you leave me be? You caused Feng Mei Shen soul to shatter in millions of pieces and now you want to claim her body?".
"HiHiHi! Yan Wang Xuan, I am your destiny! I couldn't leave you to be! I would follow you in all of your lifetimes!".
The Dark Emperor sighed heavily. "Leave us!!". The powerful voice followed by a wave of his hand. In that instant, the Dark Emperor had locked the Alpha soul with a powerful array inside his secret room.
"Merman! You can leave now!". Solemnly the Dark Emperor said but at the moment his heart was breaking apart at the thought of their separation.
"Let Huang Ke go! Let us be together, Dark Emperor! We love each other just like you love your goddess! Please let him go!", she begged while bowing down to the Dark Emperor, almost kissing the dirt ground, without regard to 'her' dignity.
"I wish I could! He would die without my void spatial space. He exists only because of me. I save his life! I could only let you see him every year for a day".
Wu Hu Fei looking up at the powerful figure of the Dark Emperor and asked fiercely, " Give me a week!".
"Merman! How dare you negotiate with my kind regards?".
"Please give us more times, Dark Emperor!".
Again, 'she' bowed.
If only the merman loves him as much as 'he' loves the present him, 'he' would never consider leaving his side. However, unlike the present him, the past him was able to know all of the deepest secrets of his present life, for his consciousness is way stronger than his present consciousness.
The past engulfed the present, not the other way around. To bind his present consciousness in eternity, three days is the maximum days he could afford to unlock his present consciousness or as the consequences, his past consciousness would cease to exist and with it, half of his soul would dissipate into smoke.
"Three days! Leave the Demon realm now and if you ever miss me, you could always come and visit me!". The Dark Emperor tried to look indifferent but inwardly he really wishes for his present life lover visitation. The love that 'Huang Ke' felt for Xiao Fei is also embedded in Yan Wang Xuan's consciousness. Subconsciously, the arrogant Dark Emperor had fallen into a deep abyss of the forbidden love between men. Since he is stronger than 'Huang Ke', he would cut off his feeling toward the merman before it goes too deep, thus he is sending her away.
"Would you release him when I beat you?!!".
"Whenever you want to challenge me, I will be here waiting for you!".
"Yan Wang Xuan, remember my name is Wu Hu Fei, from now on we are acquaintances, but if you ever hurt Huang Ke..., you will be my enemy!!".
The Dark Emperor smirked. With a wave of his hand, he opened a portal and said, " Godspeed, Wu Hu Fei". Then he sends 'her' flying into the void portal with his enormous energy.
