Chapter 514: The Little Immortal Soul (3)

/*unedited*/

It was another morning, but it seems that the sun is covered by dark clouds as heavy rain is currently falling to the ground. It has been raining overnight and the whole city is has a gloomy feeling in it. Everything seems to be sad and the atmosphere didn't conform to the day.

But many are still working under this heavy downpour of rain and busy with their preparation for another day in the city.

Meanwhile, in a huge manor with many courtyards, a festive event is happening. The people didn't seem to care about the weather as they prepare for the festivity and joyous occasion. This is the Xie family manor and many people are already entering it.

Greeting the guests at the main door are two ladies, one tall and with a gentle appearance and the other is a cute girl around 13 to 15 years of age. These two ladies are Song Xei and Ling Xie. The two are wearing beautiful light pink silk gowns that show their budding beauty.

While the two are greeting the guest, inside a room in the house a young man is currently sitting in a lotus position, and beads of sweat can be seen in his forehead.

This young man is Shin Jiao. It has already been 2 days since he started cultivating and absorbing the steady flowing energy from his soul essence inside his dantian. At first, he thought it was just fine, but he suddenly discovers that the energy is making him feel bloated with power. If he did not absorb the energy, his dantian and body would hit a critical point and she would burst.

And that is something he didn't want to happen. Because if that happened, this whole manor is obliterated along with the people in it.

"Damn it… when will this thing stop!" he muttered.

He didn't expect his soul essence would absorb such a large amount of soul energy. And now, due to it slowly refining the soul energy, he is receiving a direct feed to his body.

"Grr… I need to go out and release some of the energy inside my body." Shin Jiao thought as he suddenly stood up.

Meanwhile, Yao Mai who is sitting just outside of the room felt his movement.

"Master Ji, is there something wrong?" she asked in concern.

"I will be going first… I will come back later." Shin Jiao just said and his figure vanished.

Upon hearing this, a complicated look on Yao Mai's face can be seen. In truth, she wanted to follow because she is really worried about him. She didn't know why she had this strong feeling of wanting to stay with Master Ji, but all she knows is that, whenever she was with him, she would feel secure and happy.

Shaking his head from her thoughts, Yao Mai turns towards the direction of Shin Jiao and also disappears from her position. When her figure vanished, two people slowly walk towards the room. The woman had a concerned look on her face as she gazes at the direction where Yao Mai disappears.

"What do you think is Miss Mai thinking?" the man asked.

"I… I think my friend just fell in love… but I guess the guy does not feel the same way she does." The woman said with a worried expression.

"Sigh… I think Yao Mai would get hurt… but this is her decision. Although you two are friends, you should just advise her and not intrude with this matter."

"I know… sigh…"

The two then turn around and walked back to the main hall where there are guests chatting with each other.

Suddenly the couple saw someone at the main entrance and the two quickly walk to meet that person.

"The king of Er kingdom, King Rong Ru Er!" a man suddenly announced.

This made all the people stop talking and immediately parted to make way for the king. Each shows respect while bowing their heads at the dignified looking middle-aged man.

The king's handsome appearance and his regal posture truly made him fit the part of being a ruler of the kingdom. Plus the two people behind him, Deming Er, the crown prince, and Nie Er, the 4th prince which is a bit older than Deming Er.

If Shin Jiao is here, he would recognize this prince. Although it has already been a long time since then for Shin Jiao it's not even more than half a year has passed.

When the king enters followed by the two princes, everyone's gazes are already on them.

"Ah, my friend… It has already been a long time… I thought I was about to lose you… we already lost a lot of our companions, but I am happy that you are able to come back." The king said as he gave Peng Xie a smile.

"I am also happy to come back, your majesty… I am also glad that you protected my family while I was… gone. I owe you this, your highness..."

"Haha… I only did the right thing… Plus, you have a very capable daughter, right there. And very pretty too…" the king said as his gaze drifted towards his son who is staring at Song Xie with a loving smile on his face.

King Rong Ru Er just heaves an internal sigh in his heart. He can feel the struggle in his son's heart. He has also experienced such a thing when he was younger and until now, his heart can still remember his wife. But alas, destiny has separated the two and he was forced to marry another.

After he lost his wife and his first son became estranged to him, he had never loved any other women and just married for convenience. And so, he prefers to stay alone in his free time and think of his wife his only queen in his heart, and would reminisce the time they had together because that woman was his true love.

"Deming, son… why don't you go to Miss Song. I can take care of myself you know…" the king said with a smile.

"Me too, father! I wanted to go and talk with the guests." The 4th prince suddenly said as he immediately drags his little brother.

As the two walked away, Nie Er began advising his little brother.

"Little Deming, since you are the crown prince now, I hope you take care of that position and try to enjoy yourself. When I was the crown prince, I had lots of fun and met lots of women… Hehe…" Nie Er said while his arm is around Deming Er's shoulder.

Deming Er immediately chuckled and lifted his big brother's arm.

"And that is the reason why father scolded you and passed the crown prince position to 5th brother even before your term lapses... I don't want to embarrass our father. So, I'll do my best as I am… Hehe…" Deming Er said with a smile.

"Aw… you… you… Alright, I'll just have to wait then until my time as a crown prince would come again…"

The two brothers walked while chatting and arrive near Song Xie.

"Prince Deming…" she greeted while a curtsy.

She was a bit surprised that Deming Er didn't wear his mask today. This is because, whenever the crown prince goes out of the palace, he would always wear a mask. It is part of the tradition of the royalty in Er kingdom. So she was a bit surprised.

"Well, I just wanted to visit you… I…" Deming Er stuttered.

Sensing his brother's reluctance, Nie Er smirked and walked towards the young girl beside Song Xie.

"Little miss, would you like to accompany me?" Nei Er said with a gentle smile.

When Ling Xie saw the handsome prince, she immediately turned red. She didn't expect that a prince would talk to her. So she giggled and happily took Nie Er's hand. As the two walks away, Nie Er turned his head towards his younger brother and mouthed the words, 'You owe me one little 7th.'

Deming Er just nodded his head in agreement.

When the two were left, Song Xie felt her face getting hotter. Yao Mai has already hinted to her that Deming Er has feelings for her. At first, she thought that what she feels for him is nothing special, and she treated him as her best friend. But these few days, she has realized that she misses him and always wanted to see him.

And so she realized that what her master said was true… she might have feelings for her best friend.

…

Outside of the Capital city of Er, in a great forest

Shin Jiao has reached the deep forest and has traversed the rain. His figure is wet but he didn't feel cold. He just looks around and saw a cliff. Then he jumps up and in a conspicuous location, dug a cave. As he needed to use the overflowing energy in his dantian, he didn't know that he is already making a deep cavern. This is due to him trying to expend the energy in his body.

"I think is this deep enough…" Shin Jiao muttered and immediately jumps out and created a partial camouflage array near the mouth of the cave.

However, as soon as he was about to start, he saw a beautiful figure floating in the air while looking at him. Yao Mai followed Shin Jiao and luckily found traces of his location.

"What are you doing here? I thought I told you that I will come back."

"No… Please let me accompany you." She said as she walks inside the cave and approached Shin Jiao.

"Miss Mai… I…"

But before Shin Jiao could answer, a fragrant and luscious pair of lips suddenly came closer to his face. This situation has taken Shin Jiao by surprise and he didn't know what to do. He could not deny the fact that Yao Mai is truly a very beautiful woman. By far, she can be considered as one of the most beautiful women that Shin Jiao has ever seen, comparable to Susan Tang or Qin Lou.

However, the wet look of Yao Mai added by her alluring figure underneath that silky gown made Shin Jiao felt his mind goes blank and didn't know what to do next.
