[Life 3]
Xiaosheng came at the dining room where his mother and father along with his cousins in his mother side from the monster race.
The dining room is situated in a high tower, with black and gold designs, the pillars and walls are made from finest marbles.
Duyu, the future crown prince of the monster race is also here because he is one of his cousins.
The two of them are good brothers. Even though Duyu is older than him, he acts like the younger brother.
Xiaosheng didn't mind since Duyu ease his boredom sometimes when he is here, the land of the monster race.
He took a seat but frowned when he noticed that there is one vacant seat beside his designated seat. He look at his beloved mother and asked with a frown.
"Why is there a vacant seat?"
His dragon mother smiled and replied gently, "Hm? Yunxi didn't tell you?"
"What? Yunxi?" He turned to look at his maid, Yunxi, who visibly flinched.
His cousins and father smirk, as if saying: you're fooled.
Yunxi replied stutteringly as blood drain on her cute face. "A-ah, Young master, l-let me explain."
As he was about to reply to her to continue, suddenly, the closed door was open with a bang!
There, a girl around the height of 4'5 foot entered.
Xiaosheng kept his silence as he narrowed his white dragon eyes and click his tongue in annoyance.
"My, my, my fiancé is in a bad mood, should I comfort him?" She teasingly said as her eyes revealed happiness and mischief.
The one who entered, of course, is his fiancé, Ji Xian, or rather, famous in a new name, Xiao Moxian.
"Tsk. My appetite died the moment you entered." Xiaosheng replied.
"Xiao'er, watch what you are saying." His mother reprimanded him, her previous gentle eyes is now fiercely looking at him.
His mother, Long Xi, has black hair and abyss like eyes with slitted pupils and one portruding like black jade horn in her forehead. Her willow waist and wide hips that made any men salivate and gulp hard.
Xiaosheng grumbled under his breath as he didn't want to experience her wrath. Again.
Meanwhile, his father chuckled at his situation. Seeing his problematic son getting scolded by his wife is satisfying to see.
He always had that indifferent and cynical eyes that made him worried. But his worries vanished when he witness his wife burst in rage when he sneak outside to ease his so called 'boredom'.
The frightened look his son have that time made him burst in laughter.
Unfortunately, his wife turned her attention to him and he get a beating from her, making two bumps on his head just like what happened to his son.
They both grieve at that time.
Xiaosheng looked at his father with dangerous glint in his eyes. Signifying that he will also dragged him down with him.
He said to his mother 'innocently'. "Ah, mother, last time I saw father looking at the demon prostitute when we were together—"
"Stop! Stop!"
He tried to stop the imminent disaster.
But it's too late, his beloved wife, Long Xi, is already behind him. Looking like a demoness from hell that crawled out of it to take a revenge.
Xiaosheng look away, laughing inside his heart evilly, thinking, it is your fault for making fun of me.
"Wife, hm. Wife. We can mediate this in a softer way, don't we?"
"Yes, you'll gonna sleep in the couch for 7 days straight."
"Huh?!"
"8 days."
"Wait!"
"Nin-"
"Sorry..."
After that small banter, they resumed their dinner in silence.
A pleasant dinner if you could call it. Of course, not for his father.
Xiaosheng suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
"I'll descend on the lower realm."
Silence ensued on the dining room again.
His father, mother, Ji Xian and all his cousins look at him weirdly.
"What will you do there? There is nothing to see in the lower worlds." Long Xi said directly.
"There is."
"Primordius."
"What?"
"There is no news about his mysterious vanish or death even. I questioned it, how would a powerful Empyrean like him die without external influence?"
"So what are you saying, son?"
"My points is, there might be a deeper scheme about this that the whole divine realm is fooled."
A shiver ran in their spines when he told them his conjecture.
They know their son, he is very wise since birth. And not only that, hardworking also. He started training when he was still 3 year old.
In his free time, he spent his time on reading in the archives. His knowledge expand till his curiosity about this world is gone and he lose interest in it.
With his Fiery Golden Eyes, he identified some truths regarding Empyrean Primordius.
The knowledge he had about the plot is very little or rather vague since a long time has passed since he read the novel and it also has a lot of chapters that he forgot the other information.
He only remember the important arcs like when Divine dream start the meeting and so on and so forth.
With the help of the eyes, he identified some truth and cleared some doubts he had.
"Did your grandfather knew this?" His father asked him seriously.
"Yeah, Grandpa Emperor and Grandpa Mo also thought the same."
"..."
"So I'll be going on the lower realm to look for his traces."
"No! That won't happen!" Long Xi, his mother shouted and denied his statement.
"I will talk about this with grandpas and they will definitely agree."
"What? I'll go there right now and see if they will still let you descend there!"
"Mother."
"What?"
"Don't you trust me?" He said plainly but his eyes reveal his determination to go.
"..."
Long Xi can't speak. She knew his child matured early and is wise enough to know the consequences of his action.
But when he's curiousity is piqued by something or someone. He will find it to the end no matter what. His stubbornness is endless as his dragon attribute, endlessness.
She calm down and sighed deeply at her son. She asked. "When will you go?"
"When I turn 15."
She sighed in relief and said. "That's good, okay, I agree. On one condition that you should bring a bodyguard with you and some maids."
"Thanks, Mother."
"Hmm."
"How about me, aunty?"
Ji Xian suddenly butt in in their conversation.
"Ah, of course, you should go with him, and had adventures in the lower realm."
"What?"
"Hehehe, you're the best aunty!"
"Mother! I don't want—"
"If you don't let her come with you. I will take back my words."
"Argh! Fine!" Xiaosheng succumbed to his mother's threat and called out the name of her maid. "Yunxi! Call Wanxi! I want her to serve me this time not you!"
Yunxi paled and a sad look appeared on her cute face. She turned to look at the one who ordered her to salvage this situation.
But Ji Xian just look the other way, avoiding her gaze.
She can only hung her head low, follow his order and wait for her Young master anger to died down.
She can only blame herself from trusting the mischievous young mistress.

(A/N: so here's the thing, Its okay to express your anger or anything like that for me. I'm open for suggestions and your recommendations but almost dictating what I want to do with my story is on a another scale. If you feel you're not up for my story then don't read it, easy as hell to do. And also stop asking those questions that asked what will happen. If you want to know then shut the fuck up and read the story! Sorry about this rant but I had no one to vent except this app since I deactivated all of my socmed.)
