Chapter 254 - 252. I Will Stay With You

Third-person POV   (A/N: Warning, there is a few vulgar words in this chapter

that you may find uncomfortable. But I censored it.)   "Mother! Mother, look at this! This sh*t is f*ckin cool!" a

teenage boy that was around 14 years old jogged towards the beautiful lady that

sat peacefully under the tree shade.   The lady looked at the boy who was running towards her with

a sly grin on his pale grey face and a fire element hare in his hand. He

stopped right in front of the lady and passed her the hare.   "This is for you. Do you like it?" The boy asked while

holding onto the hare's long floppy ears.   The hare seemed to be I pain as it kept struggling to free

itself from the boy's forceful grip. The lady smiled from ear to ear and took

the hare from the boy's hand. She placed it on her lap and started to stroke

its fluffy crimson fur.   "The hare is in pain, you should hold it more gently like

this. But I like it very much, it is very impressive that you can catch a

creature that is known for its agility with only bare hands." the lady praised

the boy.   Hearing that the lady was praising him, the grin on the

boy's lips grew wider and brighter. He scooted closer to the lady and placed

his head on her other vacant lap.   "Hehehe~ You are so spoiled even though you lived longer

than me." The lady teased the boy about his age because she knew that it was

one of his weakness.   "Don't tease me like that, dear mother~ Or should I say Miss

Meiyun?" the boy glanced at the lady with sly eyes and caused the lady to

chuckle.   "Whatever you want to call me but I like 'mother' the best."

Meiyun replied. . . *Flashback   "What should we do with her?" a man in his middle age that

dressed in black attire asked his friend.   "I don't really know too. Should we take her soul away or what?

She died a few seconds ago, her soul almost completely left her body when her

soul was sucked back into her body by a foreign help." The friend that was

wearing a white-attire replied to the black-attire man.   "Such a huge wound in her heart, she must be dead now. What

a waste of talent. She could potentially be a great fighter. But in my list,

she is supposed to die at this time. What a great power to defy the rule of

nature." The black-attire man said with a mix of confusion and amus.e.m.e.nt.   Curious and perplexed by the current situation, both of them

looked around to find the source of the foreign energy that pulled Meiyun's

soul back to her body as if reviving the dead. Then they found out that a woman

in a white-attire that her face resembled Sheng Jie was sneakily helping Meiyun

by transferring some of her healing Qi into Meiyun's body through the ground.   Since the two of them couldn't meddle in human's affair, so

they could only silently watch Hong er reviving the already dead Meiyun. But

the power slowly getting weaker and weaker as Hong er passed out and was taken

away by a bunch of soldiers.   Meiyun's soul that was just getting stable, started to

separate itself from her body again.   "It is truly indeed a magnificent miracle to pull back a soul

into one's body but still, this girl is still going to die." The white-attire

man sighed pitifully as he swept his horsetail whisk above Meiyun's body to

gather her soul.   "Mother…" A soft whisper echoed through the room.   In a few seconds, a sudden surge of power exploded within

Meiyun's body. The two men swiftly took a few steps back to avoid the powerful

dark power that shot out from Meiyun's body.   "Wh-what is happening?!" The white-attire man exclaimed in

shock.   Then a boy appeared between them and grabbed their sleeves,

"Hey~ The Black Guard and the White Guard of the underworld, Heibai Wuchang. My

mother is still alive so your job here is done. Now shoo shoo~"   They whipped their head to the side to look at the boy who

was grinning at them.   "Y-you, an evil spirit?!" The white-attire man exclaimed.   "Yeah yeah~ Shut your trap and go away, she is alive and

well. Don't you dare touch my mother." The boy gave the two men a threatening

glare.   The Heibai Wuchang looked at each other and shrugged their

shoulder. Since Meiyun's name on their list vanished mean that she shouldn't be

dead for a few years or more, not until her name reappeared on their list.   Furthermore, currently they were extremely busy as there

were so many souls that they had to retrieve. They swung their horsetail whisks

and disappeared into thin air leaving clouds of black and white smoke from

where they stood previously.   After confirming the Heibai Wuchang had left, the boy walked

to Meiyun's side and crouched down beside her. Her face was so pale, contrasting

with the dark Qi that burst out from her body.   "What a pitiful human. Maybe I should go back too. Ugh~

Pitiful for me too." The boy got on his feet and receded from sight.   In a blink of an eye, his surroundings changed into field filled only with grasses, trees, and flowers. There wasn't any trace of

animal nor human living in there. Only the sound of the river flowing down the

cascade and the rustling sound of the grasses and leaves could be heard clearly.   He sat down at the side of the river and watched the crystal

clear water carried a piece of dried leaf to the end of the river. Just when he

was about to close his eyes, a rustling sound came from behind. He immediately

whipped his head to look behind him.   "Who are you?" Meiyun asked cautiously with her body was in

a defensive stance.   At first, the boy was perplexed by Meiyun's presence in his

supposedly the place that only he could access. A few seconds later, a wide

grin spread out on his grey pale face.   "Why hello~ Mother~" The boy waved his hand.   "Mother? Explain yourself. Who are you and why am I here?"

Meiyun chose to not believe the boy because she never seen him before in her

entire life.   "Fine, I will explain but relax your fists. It is scary to

see my mother getting angry at me for helping her." The boy said unconcerned

with Meiyun's piercing gaze.   Meiyun unclenched her fists but her mind was still on guard.

The boy raised his hands above his head to show that he was not holding any

weapon and harmless. He sat not far away from Meiyun and offered her to sit

across her.   "This will take a long time to explain so please sit down."

The boy genuinely smiled.   Meiyun sat down without taking her eyes off the boy.   "You were pregnant, am I right?" The boy asked.   "Yeah?" Meiyun replied.   "So basically, I was supposed to be reborn as your son and because

you are about to die, I used my whole Qi to save you. But as a result, I died

as well as the child in your w.o.m.b." The boy nonchalantly explained.   Meiyun  was confused

by the boy's vague explanation, the only word that escaped from her lips was, "Why

me?"   "Firstly, let me introduce myself. I am an evil spirit that

has been meditating for more than a few hundred year to be reborn as a human

then after the human me die, my soul will be neutralized and I will be a normal

spirit. And I chose you because I notice the dark power that circulating inside

your body that slowly eating away all your life force.   By having the dark power in your body, I can hide my vicious

aura with the dark power and as for you, I can hold back the dark power from

eating your life force. Benefit for both of us.   But things happen, maybe I won't be able to return to a

normal spirit." The boy continued and shrugged his shoulder as if everything

was very normal for him.   "Then why do you waste your last chance to save me?" Meiyun

inquired.   "Because I want to. I do what I want, no one can stop me."

The boy turned his face away.   Meiyun went into silence for a few minutes then she parted her

lips, "Thank you."   The boy glanced at her and snorted, "If you are truly

thankful for me, then stay here with me."   A moment of silence and when the boy was going to say that

he was joking at her, a soft voice sounded out.   "Okay. I will stay with you."
