Rebirth: A Woman with Frozen Hearts [English]

Apart From the Shackles

Inside a dimensional space, four shadows stood as they looked at the death scene of a certain woman in the outside world. Their eyes were filled with sadness as the woman's eyelids began to blink weakly and slowly closed. The four shadows grieved over the woman's death as if they wanted to switch positions with the woman. They want death to come to them, not the woman.

“I really can't take it anymore! Why should my Lady suffer like that?!”, one of the shadows growled ferociously.

"Calm down, Bai Hu." the second shadow said calmly.

"Quiet down?! How can I calm down when the master I should have been protecting suffered like that?!" Bai Hu roared at the second shadow.

"I'm not like YOU who can still calm down when I see my Lady suffering so many complaints! Sometimes I wonder if you really think of Lady as your master!"

"DON't YOU DARE judge me all you want! I'm not someone who uses emotion in my every act." The second shadow said in a cold tone.

"What do you mean by that?! Are you trying to say that I'm emotional?!"

"Yes, right?"

"You bastard!!"

"ENOUGH!" Another shadow cut through the conversation, its tone soft yet firm. "Can't the two of you be friendly to each other instead of fighting all the time?"

"Who is this man!!" Both Bai Hu and the second shadow shouted at the same time.

"Hehe~ Let them Zhu Que, that's how they interact" The last shadow spoke, his tone as if mocking two people who were fighting. "After all they'll be friends with well~"

"We're not good friends!" Once again Bai Hu and the second shadow shouted simultaneously. Realizing that, they locked eyes together while growling.

"I wouldn't cut in the middle if they weren't too noisy and stopped acting as if you cared about them, Xuan Wu. I know you're saying those words because I'm interfering with your fun."

Xuan Wu chuckled, clearly not mind being caught off guard by Zhu Que "Cute Queku Zhu is always smart~"

Zhu Que rolled his eyeballs after hearing Xuan Wu's remark before turning his gaze towards the foolish duo who were still growling at each other.

"Bai Hu, Qing Long stop now, otherwise-" his eyes emitted a dangerous glint as three golden fireballs appeared on both sides of his body and above his head. His body exuded a dangerous aura as if challenging them to fight him.

　

　

Bai Hu and Qing Long who were looking at the flames and were aware of the dangerous aura surrounding Zhu Que's body, instantly froze. They looked at each other before taking their eyes off. The silence finally came to the space where they were currently located.

Zhu Que who saw the foolish duo finally calmed down, nodding in satisfaction.

On the side, Xuan Wu could only try to hold back his laughter seeing Bai Hu and Qing Long's tame actions. No matter how many times Xuan Wu saw it, it could always make her laugh . Among the four of them, Zhu Que was considered the leader because only Zhu Que could tame Bai Hu and Qing Long.

"See." Zhu Que turned his gaze back to the floating image in front of them. "The chain that binds the Lady's soul has finally come loose.."

Seeing the picture, Bai Hu and Qing Long were overjoyed. The excitement was very evident from the look on their faces.

“Finally..I can serve Lady again.” murmured Bai Hu with longing.

"'The Curse of a Thousand Spirits' is indeed powerful, it can even break the chain of curses that binds the Lady's soul" Qing Long said, his eyes never escaping from the screen. Longing was clearly visible in his eyes and soon added with worry.

"Now that Lady has reincarnated, going through the same path again, I am worried about this curse."

"Don't worry, this time Lady has us by her side. Now that the evil goddess curse chain had disappeared, she could use this dimensional space and her power again." Zhu Que said in a soft tone.

"But can he remember us?" Xuan Wu asked, "If he remembers us then .."

"We'll see." Zhu Que said in a stern tone but nisa's uneasiness sounded within. Zhu Que really wished his master could remember the four of them but at the same time Zhu Que also did not want his master to remember everything. Since Zhu Que knew if Lady remembered everything, then she would remember the life she had and the betrayal that caused her to be in the mortal realm.

Yeah, that's all he wants..

"What about that guy?" Xuan Wu asked as he looked at the man holding the corpse of his beloved Lady. His expression was illegible but in his pair of emerald-colored eyes, anger could be seen.

"Well, it would be best if the man stayed away from our master. Since time will go back to 10 years ago, that man will continue to give cold treatment to our master right?" Bai Hu said, obviously pleased with the idea that the man would stay away from his master.

"I agree. Personally I don't like that guy." Qing Long added.

"Why?" Zhu Que asked, "Is it because he caused Lady's death?"

　

　

"....No." Qing Long replied, "There's another reason."

However, even after a long silence, Qing Long did not state what the reason was. How could he? The reason he had was just a hunch. This man named Long Zhi Qiang had the same aura as that Person. Qing Long wanted to confirm it first. If Zhi Qiang was indeed the man he thought of, then it would be best to make Lady go as far away from him as possible.

"Okay, it's time to say hello to my Lady." Bai Hu said with a wide smile, baring his fangs.

"Be polite, Bai Hu. Don't scare the lady, okay?" warning Zhu Que

"Of course not! Who do you think I am?" Bai Hu said in annoyance

"An emotional beast." Qing Long commented

"WHAT?! YOU'RE TRYING TO START A FIGHT, STINKY LIZARD?!" Bai Hu roared

"I am the DRAGON! How dare you call an honorable dragon a lizard! You lame cat!"

"CrippLE YOU SAID?! I'M A MIGHTY TIGER!!"

"Lame cat is enough for you."

"FUCK YOU-"

*Wush\, Wush\, Wush!*

Three golden fireballs flew rapidly towards Bai Hu and Qing Long and hit Bai Hu twice and Qing Long once.

"GAAAH! IT'S HOT!!"

"WOOOO!"

Bai Hu and Qing Long screamed in pain. It took a while before the pain completely dissipated and what awaited the two of them was the cold and deadly gaze of Zhu Que.

"Do you still want to continue the fight?" zhu Que asked with a sweet smile that did not even reach his phoenix eyes. The smile that made the stupid duo goosebumps.

"No ma'am." Both Bai Hu and Qing Long replied simultaneously.

"Then it's time to do what we have to do, right?" zhu Que said while still putting on his dangerous smile.

"Yes Mom." Bai Hu and Qing Long replied.

From the side, Xuan Wu chuckled softly while shaking his head. Indeed, there was nothing more frightening than a gentle woman who was angry.
