บท 8: Chapter 8 - Are you going to be my Ally or Enemy?

A slender and tall figure has quickly dashed over before taking hold of the unconscious young man on his arms.

"Black, give me the highest cure medicine you got right now!"

Hearing his Host words, Black couldn't help but remind in an extremely worries

"Host current level is low, the medicine is enough only to save him this time around, but it won't be able to completely cure him. Xen's current body has numerous hidden damage from the long years of being affected by his Cold Poison."

"So, by only upgrading the current system level will you be able to find a more useful medicine to fully cure Xen Cold Poison, I am sorry Host, Black can only help you this much."

Black might be a cheat existence but he was not omnipotent, he has to follow a certain rule in every world he appeared and Xen illness is a unique one, that Cold Poison on his body has a certain mixture of aura's that belong to this world that he couldn't easily change.

Cold, severe injuries, a deadly poison, and even cancer, those could be easily solved by the system medicine but the Illness that the young man got was made or given by a person with a certain talent in the mystical aura in this world.

The Cold Poison is a unique existence in this world, so a simple cure cannot just heal it, no matter how such a cheat existence the medicine and items he has on his trade shop would not be able to help him.

Especially when the host is still too low level to compete against the 'special' auras with a characteristic that uniquely exist in this world, his Host needs to level up in order to help the young man problem.

"It doesn't matter! Give it to me!"

With a fierce and cold voice, Li Cheng black ink eyes turned extremely dangerous while the arms he has around the unconscious young man has been gentle, before shifting the person in a tender manner for a far more comfortable position.

Li Chen has finally found a person that could influence him with great difficulty, how could he just let it easily disappear just like that?

Something so interesting, something so warm, something that could move his calm heart that remains cold and indifferent for all these years.

So how could he let the young man go and watch it disappear before his very eyes?

Never!

Li Chen won't allow it! Nothing bad will happen to him!

The young man was born to meet him in this life!

The young man's mere existence belongs to him!

Suddenly as Li Chen thought become dangerous and darks, a round ball has abruptly appeared on his hand.

And at the same time, Li Chen felt the way that the hot water temperature around them has abruptly become so cold while feeling the delicate body on his arm has started shivering.

This is no good!

Xen's current body can no longer handle any more damage, the injuries he suffered before is making it more dangerous to his life.

Damn! Damn it!

He never thought that the young man's hidden illness was extremely dangerous.

Without any hesitation, Li Cheng has used his long and slender to makes the young man swallow the medicine as he gently pried open the tight small lip while unconsciously using his thumb to gently wiped the blood upon it.

Soon, the medicine has rapidly turned into a liquid while Li Chen has hurriedly removed his slender finger from the young man quivering lip in which he has accidentally touch the small tongue within it without any warning.

Causing his ink-black eyes to constrict and darken from the wonderful soft feeling that lingers on his finger, although Li Chen has never waste any second to gently rub the young man's slender throat in order to make hi swallowed the medicine inside his mouth.

A few minutes later, Li Chen felt the temperature of the water finally turning warm causing his body to slightly relax from extreme relief and at the same time feeling that the young man shivering boy has finally lessened.

However, Li Cheng has quickly felt a soft and small hand swiftly grabbing his neck in a blink of an eye that caught him in great surprise but when he gazes upon the unfocused wide amber eyes filled with killing intent rather than tensing up Li Chen has completely relaxed his body.

And just like he assumed it to be, Li Chen felt that the young man has stopped his actions and stayed stilled for a while and slowly regaining his consciousness.

While the entire time, Li Chen has never faulted the young man's actions, despite having a high chance of dying by his hands.

Besides, it was an instinctive reaction of a person who was constantly worried over his life, that the young man has just moved instinctively in order to protect his own life from any danger that might befall him, especially when he was extremely defenseless.

It just that Li Cheng rather wish that the charming young man would soon give his full trust toward him.

Oh, Li Chen is able to tell that the young man has already started trusting him since he would have died the moment that the young man has made a grabbed on his throat.

At least, it was proof enough since if it was Li Chen, he has already taken the person's life, it doesn't matter if that person was innocent or not.

Because his life is far more important than a mere stranger after all and any tiny mistake causing harm over his life cannot be tolerated.

However, when it comes to this person, somehow, Li Chen just couldn't give the thought of hurting him.

So Li Chen patiently waits as the alert amber eyes become focused before it met his calm dark ink eyes and a few second later, the body on his arms has slowly relaxed while the small hand gripping his neck was slowly removed after a slight doubt but with certain tolerance appearing on those amber eyes.

After all, Li Chen appearing in the young man's dangerous situation is extremely doubtful and suspicious, however since the young man has released his hands, Li Chen has figure out that he wasn't dangerous to the young man's life enough for him to want him dead.

Although, remaining suspicious that Li Chen might have some evil motion or plan against him though.

Well, Li Chen can also take it slowly with the young man since he has long known that it wouldn't be so easy to get this person's trust, especially when the young man seemed to be surrounded by numerous people who wanted to take his life.

But that's alright, its already a miracle that Li Chen was being allowed to get close to the charming young man this much, especially with the special circumstances, soon his dark ink eyes have flash in a firm light

Li Chen won't stop, he is extremely determined to get this person, it doesn't matter if it would become troublesome and painful since he would never cower and fear to face the difficulty for what he wanted.

With those in mind, Li Cheng let his atmosphere become warm and kind while showing a harmless kind smile in order to ease the person on his arms because acting negative and malicious is the wrong move in their special situation.

Nonetheless, Li Cheng can tell without a doubt that the young man's life is in constant danger by how the young man has just reacted a moment ago while at the same time, having limited few people he could trust.

A truly worrying situation because Li Chen already believes that the young man's identity is not a simple one, more importantly, it was unquestionably a very special existence that numerous people are scrambling to hunt his life down.

The young man might be a member of a very influential family or an influential figure in certain places.

It could even be said that the young man might be even related or a member of the Royal Family.

Although Li Chen doubts that thought since base from what he knows from Autumn while the information he heard from the villager that lives a few distances away from where he lies that there are only three members in the Royal Family.

The Queen Mother, a young 11 years Old Young Emperor and a 24 Years Old Regent King.

The young man is definitely not the Young Emperor, not only was the age wrong but there is a rule that a Fair person cannot become the Emperor.

Is Xen being the Queen Mother? Suddenly, Li Chen has a blue vein appearing on his forehead when those thoughts cross his mind while the answer was a definite NO.

And he might be the Regent King?

Well, Li Chen heard that the present Regent King is a fair person but from his appearance, the young man appears to be a high schooler rather than a twenty-four years old adult.

So, who are you, really?

Inwardly shaking his head, Li Chen kindly smiled while gently rubbing the top of the young man's head as he spoke in a coaxing and soft voice which was filled with certain assurance.

"Don't worry, I am here. I will not allow anything bad to happen to you... I will protect you so sleep and take a rest right now..."

Li Chen watched as the young man long eyelashes flutter in uncertainly while wide amber eyes showed a doubtful look but in the end, after a few more seconds of thinking deeply, the young man seemed resigned of giving his trust one more time.

The young man's entire atmosphere is basically screaming about how he could trust him right? That he will not harm him and that it wasn't a mistake to place his trust in another person?

"Yes, I definitely won't harm you... please believe in me."

Li Chen is unable to stop himself as he bows down and places a soft kiss on the young man's pale forehead while feeling a slight twinge of distress of watching him in pain.

Soon, he saw the way that the young man eyelashes flutter in nervousness while the soft delicate body on his arms shiver with undisguised anxiety before those amber eyes have finally closed, completely placing his trust on him, believing that he will not harm his life.

The young man's entire reaction was completely telling Li Chen that he was gambling his life and well being.

Choosing to believe on him despite the fact that the young man has just got betrayed by a person he trusted, still wanting to keep trying to trust someone else.

"Don't worry... I'll definitely protect you..." Li Chen whispers softly, before standing up and walking away while carrying tenderly and softly of the delicate young man on his arms.

While hidden from view, Snow smile in kindness since the man's actions didn't disappoint him, while also passing a certain test however, he will see how the man will do later on with the additional others he might try to perform.

At least, Snow got the man to cares about him, especially when the man certain 'protection' was definitely useful before suddenly feeling a certain warmth, and slight approval was sent somewhere deep within him.

Snow was confused for a few seconds before finally figuring out that the emotion he felt was from the original client that should be sleeping inside him.

Was the original Xen awake this entire time? Did he give approval on Snow action just now? Did the client reveal the warmth feeling because of the notion and gentleness that the man has shown toward him?

Snow couldn't help but frown because this means that the soul can see what is happening while he performs his mission.

Oh, he could understand their curiosity and insistence in knowing about how their regret and wish is being fulfilled but it was definitely a troublesome process because there is definitely a time that Snow will not be unable to block the original souls that cause them to be against of what he was doing.

So, Snow will have to ask Flake later about how to block them since he doesn't want to get a complaint about how he performed the mission and the people around them.

Especially when they suddenly felt against his chosen lover when they have a person that they love because Snow has already planned to at least have someone to spend his life with every world.

Snow dislikes being dictated who to love or life, especially even if he is a Granter, doesn't mean that he needed to follow what the client prefers and wanted.

This time Snow was just fortunate enough that his first client gender is very special, where he doesn't have to worry about if he chose Li Chen as his lover in this world.

Just showing the ending process of their wish and regret is already enough for the client to know since Snow was only granting they're wished and regrets, after all, he was unafraid to fail his mission since he won't be obliterated.

So, Snow won't really care if the original Xen suddenly showed disliked Li Chen about the idea of making him as his lover, especially when it doesn't concern about the mission.

And even though Snow has already seen the memories of the original client, he won't follow the original client feeling to a certain someone.

So if a client becomes resentful, uncomfortable, and loathsome of what Snow is doing then so be it, those people are already dead, they should understand that important details because Snow was only granting their wishes and regrets before living their life later on.

It was part of the deal and what they have exchanged for.

As for being given Bad Title? That was not easy to do, despite how convenient it was to stop a Granter certain actions.

But Snow doesn't care if a client want to do it.

What Snow cares about now is testing and planning on how to make Li Chen his ally or maybe making Li Chen his lover since he is definitely a perfect person that suits his taste.

Not only was Li Chen extremely skilled with a cheat system but he was extremely useful in this world.

Is Snow cruel? At least, Snow will never play and cheat the man affection, because he will remain true to him no matter what because that is one of Snow's bottom lines on his life.

Playing with the people's emotions that Snow chooses from and throwing them away without any reason at all, just because he wanted to play around?

Snow will never do that unless he was given a reason to do so, Snow will remain true and loyal because emotions are something that he will never fear to have.

As long as there is no betrayal of trust or something extremely important then Snow will be kind, affectionate, and tender to the person he has chosen but if a person cheat upon him.

Well... Snow was not a kind person to remain quiet and kind to the person that has wrong him.
