Born to Disappear
Chapter 56
The dull pain felt like it was piercing the brain, Xie Shaosheng groaned low. Both eyes were tightly closed, her eyelashes gently shaking while one hand rested on the painting. Grip it tightly until it gets tangled.
As in hitting hard objects repeatedly, the pain does not subside. His body felt weak, slumping down while his hands were still tightly gripping the painting.
The dark space that felt hot, the thunderous sound, the purple lightning swirled like a giant snake in the gray sky, the thump after bang was earthy, the pain that seeped into the bones. Random images flashed in his mind, with none of them he knew. Xie Shaosheng gasped, his breath hunting. Tears hang on the lashes, like the wings of a butterfly exposed to morning dew.
Xie Shaosheng clenched himself and he realized that he was trembling, either because of the image in his mind or the pain of biting the bone. This pain was so real, but not a single inch of his skin broke. The pain is like having penetrated into the soul, like a trauma stored deep at the base of the mind, waiting for all to break out in an explosion.
As a cultivator, cleansing yourself is enough with a simple cleansing spell. No need to take water one by one bucket, no need to prepare firewood to make a fire, no need to wait for the water to heat up. Very practical and not wasting time. But this time it's not so. Hualing who always used a cleansing spell, this time took out a wooden bathtub from his storage ring. Fill the water with a mantra, heat it with spiritual energy and sprinkle red rose petals.
The strands of fabric slid off, leaving behind thin, white clothes that immediately became transparent when he entered the water. Red strands were floating on the surface, covering things that were supposed to be covered.
He leaned back on the edge of the wood, closing his eyes with a tired face. The ends of his long hair were floating on the surface of the water, winding like a black snake.
"Ling'er looks riled up, my heart is very sad." The familiar voice came from behind his body while a small part of his hair was felt in the lift. The scent of the lotus is bubbly in the air when her hair is rubbed gently with fragrance.
"Ah Qing, will senior brother be hit?" Hualing asked the young man who was serving her hair.
"How about Ling'er, do you still feel beaten?" Yuan Qing returned the question, his hands were still busy handling Hualing's black mane.
"Initially, but this time I don't think about it anymore. So what if I'm really just an artifact? Once you think about it again, it really doesn't matter. Right now I'm just Hualing." Hualing answered lightly. His identity is special, but that doesn't mean he can't live with it.
"Actually, what I am most concerned about is no longer this identity, but the existence of my original form. I won't calm down before the fate-breaking bell is in my grasp." Further.
"Ling'er can calm down, I'll help to find him. Such a big thing, it can't be sealed up in a tight spot." With his current abilities, it should not be difficult to trace the existence of the destiny-breaking Bell. Moreover, any movement of heavenly artifacts would certainly leave a certain mark.
"But before that, someone more riled up needed Ling'er."
"Third senior brother?"
"If so, quickly hide. It wouldn't be good if third brother saw you." It was really not his intention to scatter salt over the wound, but seeing Yuan Qing's black face before his figure disappeared, he felt a little guilty.
...****************...
Xie Shaosheng placed his hand on the closed door leaf. A few times his lips opened and then closed again, as if too hesitant to call the host.
Actually, he did not know how to end up standing in front of Hualing's house. Maybe because of all the flashes of events he saw or maybe caused his mind to be too upset by the ridiculous guesses in his brain. Xie Shaosheng did not understand.
However, when that ridiculous guess approached, there was nothing else he wanted other than to ask Hualing. And here he was, when his mind hesitated, his body moving first.
The creaking sound made him flinch, the door leaf before him opened, revealing a simple room illuminated by night pearls. The person he wanted to meet was standing before him with both eyes that seemed to know everything.
"Ling'er just got a peach pearl tea from a friend, don't know if the third brother is willing to give it a try?"
Xie Shaosheng was still standing in his place, the doubt came back. He shouldn't have gone to see Hualing, it should have been something he wanted to ask soaked to rot. Xie Shaosheng wanted to turn around and leave, but his legs seemed to be fixated on the spot.
"I'm..." He really wanted to turn around and leave!
Looking at Xie Shaosheng who was still speechless, Hualing sighed then turned around. Sit down, then pour two cups of tea. Wordlessly invited Xie Shaosheng to have a chat.
"No secret can be kept forever, the past cannot be denied." He then sipped a peach-scented tea. "Ling'er thought the third brother had thought about it." he continued later.
"Indeed have thought about it, but it's still hard to believe." Xie Shaosheng replied after convincing himself, whatever the secret is and whatever the relationship is, since he is already here, then he should know about it.
Following Hualing, Xie Shaosheng sat himself across from the girl then sipped the tea he had poured for her, preparing to hear everything that might surprise her.
