Chapter 72 - Mourning Day

"Brother Gil! Hang in there! I've already sent a telepathy to father. Hope he comes here quickly to help you!" Vin spoke softly.

"Aakkhh ... no need, Vin. You guys take it easy, Brother! I did want an ending like this."

"What do you mean, Gil? Don't tell me you planned your death?!" King Glen interrupted his sister's words.

"So-sorry! I don't want to hurt you any more," said Gil stammering because of the pain.

Vin kissed his brother's hand.

"I'm sorry, Brother Gil. I wrongly accused you. I even thought that you were the Evil God earlier. I am so stupid, Brother Gil. I'm so insensitive, that I don't understand what you just said just to provoke me. Forgive stupid little brother, Brother Gil!"

Vin said, full of regret.

Vin didn't expect Gil to say that cruelly because Gil wanted to die at Vin's hands. Because Gil was so desperate because he couldn't control himself. Even though it was Gil's wish, of course Vin couldn't possibly kill his dearest brother.

"I'm sorry, Brother Gil! I've been doubting your genuine affection all along!" Vin said, holding Gil's hand.

"It's okay, Vin. I still lo-love you very much, My Brother. Believe me, Vin! My words were just lies. I-i just wanted to provoke you, be-cause I want to die in your hands, My Brother."

After saying that, the light in Gil's eyes slowly faded. Gil wanted to touch Vin's face one last time. Gil's brother who loves more than anything else.

Just as Gil's hand was about to reach Vin's cheek, his hand suddenly fell to the ground. At the same time, Gil's eyes were tightly closed for good.

"GIL!" shouted King Glen and Vin almost at the same time.

***

Zhang Sifeng and Zhang Yushen were enjoying a cup of coffee and a piece of cake at the Sacred Lotus's Bakery.

A cakeshop near Yushen's apartment.

"Gege!" Sifeng started the conversation.

"Hmm?" said Yushen. But, he still focused on eating the cake. Not looking at his brother.

"Actually, I wanted to say this months ago, Yu Ge. But, somehow I feel unable and still confused. Should I tell you this or not. Honestly, I still doubt the truth," Sifeng said.

Sifeng said while twirling the cup in front of him. He had wanted to say this for a long time. However, Sifeng felt that the timing was always not quite right. After all, Sifeng and Yushen did not see each other very often these days.

"Don't beat around the bush, A-Feng! Just say it, little brother." Yushen stopped his food for a moment. Then, a mischievous idea popped into his head to tease Sifeng.

"But ... I hope this isn't your declaration of love to me, A-Feng! Hahaha ...." Yushen continued as he devoured his cake again. A sexy grin is still etched on Yushen's beautiful lips. He really likes to tease his stupid little brother.

"Asshh, are you crazy, Lao Yu?! I'm still normal, Stupid! Ah, you always mess up my mood, Lao Yu! I'm too lazy to tell you!" Sifeng sulked. Sifeng now even turned his gaze out the window.

"Hahaha, alright, A-Feng! You don't deserve to sulk. Remember your age, Stupid! Hao, I'll listen to this stupid little brother of mine." Yushen spoke.

Not getting an immediate response from Sifeng, Yushen immediately pinched his younger brother's ear to turn to face him.

For some reason, lately Yushen really wanted to spend his days with Sifeng. Lord Jack's words always haunted Yushen.

It is now approaching the 18th month. The month in which the energy of the Gods that Sifeng bestowed will be depleted soon. Yushen's chest tightened every time he imagined what would happen after the 18th month. It must have been terrible, Yushen thought.

"Yu Gege, do you remember when I was in my deep sleep, that Lian Jiejie said I was in a coma? In my dream, I met the King of Dreams. There, I also saw Wu Zhishu. She is in the Tranmoz Royal Palace at the moment. A palace in The Realm of the Gods, ruled by King Glen Greyrat." Sifeng started to tell the story.

Hearing the name 'Wu Zhishu' being mentioned, Yushen's eyes immediately widened. Yushen rose from his seat. Then, violently tugged on Sifeng's collar.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, Fool? Do you still want Zhishu, Sifeng!" Yushen snapped. He looks very angry. He felt that he had been betrayed by Sifeng. Yushen even felt that if Sifeng had bad intentions, Sifeng still wanted to have Zhishu.

Sifeng was silent and did not move. He was well aware of his brother's emotions when it came to Wu Zhishu. Sifeng held Yushen's hand who was still tugging on Sifeng's collar. It felt so suffocating in his neck.

"I'm sorry, Yu Gege! I'm not sure if it was true or just a dream. I was afraid to disappoint you. Didn't you say that Zhishu went to America, huh? So, I thought maybe that woman was someone who looked like Wu Zhishu." Sifeng said, seriously. He said it sincerely.

Yushen slowly released his grip on the collar of Sifeng's shirt.

"Why do you say that, um? In fact, you're not even sure about it. I thought you still wanted to have Zhishu earlier, you idiot!" Yushen spoke, lowering his tone slightly.

"But, this is a direct dream given by the King of Dreams, Yu Ge. How could the King of Dreams lie to me?" Sifeng said.

"Life is really strange, A-Feng. In fact, we don't even realize that there are dimensions of space and time that are different from ours. Several years ago, I visited my biological grandfather in a small village, on the slopes of Changbai mountain.

"My grandfather told me that 50 years ago, he once saved a God. At first, I didn't believe it. But, after what we experienced with Gil and Vin, I believe that the God Realm does exist, A-Feng. And it's not impossible that Wu Zhishu is also trapped in that God Realm." Yushen spoke, seriously.

"So, when do we start looking for Zhishu into that God Realm, Yu Gege?" Sifeng looked so enthusiastic. Yes, all this time his greatest wish was to reunite Yushen with Zhishu.

"You still look unwell right now, A-Feng. Have you been fainting a lot lately?" Yushen asked, looking sadly at Sifeng.

Sifeng actually smiled when asked like that.

"Hahaha... what am I doing, Yu Gege? I'm fine at the moment. Oh come on, Yu Ge! We won't be traveling far for days, so you need to worry about me."

Sifeng grabbed something from his trouser pocket. He displayed the Jade Bracelet that Lord Jack had given Yushen.

"Besides, don't we have this Jade Bracelet to teleport to, huh? Then, what else are you worried about?" Sifeng continued.

Yushen just smiled in response. In fact, what Yushen was worried about was Sifeng's often unstable condition. But, if Sifeng himself insisted, then even Yushen would not prevent it.

Seeing his brother who was silent, made Sifeng angry.

"What are you thinking, Yu Ge?! You'll be curious if you don't check it out right away, right? So, we both have to go to the God Realm, to see if that woman named Lilyan is Wu Zhishu or not."

After hearing Sifeng's words, Yushen immediately nodded once.

"Alright, you just time it, A-Feng!"

-Gefroren City-

The whole city mourns the death of Gilbert Greyrat. All the people were present in the mourning room with tulips in their hands, Gil Greyrat's favorite flower. They put the flowers around Gil Greyrat's coffin

Vincent Greyrat sat limply beside his brother's coffin. Vin really felt guilty. He still blames herself for Gil's death. If only Vin realized it from the start, surely Vin could save his brother. Vin felt sorry.

On the other hand, King Glen Greyrat was trying to calm Queen Eliz, who was still crying hysterically since the three of them had returned from Sakura Hill carrying Gil Greyrat's corpse.

King Glen hugged his mother. He as Greyrat's eldest son must be a strength for Vin and his mother. All the Gods of the Illusory Mountain were also present.

However, there was no leader of the 3 Realms in this mourning room. Well, even though it was yesterday Gil Greyrat, but Lord Jack wasn't here.

Ask why?

Lord Jack had broken the Heaven's Rule by sealing his energy in Vin's body to save his son. The same fate 50 years ago, repeats itself. Lord Jack was confined within the Black Mountain who knows how long.

The grief of Queen Eliz's family was doubled. Their leader had been punished by the Great Spirit, the ancestor of all Gods. And now, they had to lose Gilbert Greyrat. What a very difficult situation right now for the Greyrat family.

Vin sat on the floor as he continued to lean on his brother's coffin. His gaze was blank. Memories of the events that Vin always went through with Gil, kept flashing in Vin's head. Gil's bright smile is also still clearly visible in Vin's view at this time.

To be continued ....
