Chapter 62: Shao Cheng and Purple Outside The Town "Then... Should I Go Back?
With a black cloak on to cover his snow-white robes, Shao Cheng was currently standing outside and a bit far away from the Town and inside the deep forest.
And while the thin snow-covered ground was less around the place, and feeling a slight coldness on his face whenever a rather cold wind hit on it while his hair that has been tied into a high ponytail sway from the wind has turned his head toward the floating Purple with a frown.
Although he can use his energy to keep himself warm but frankly Shao Cheng already has enough of dealing with the coldness and snow from the past few days, he wants a break from it if he could.
"So Purple, can you please tell me now about why you wanted me to come here ALONE and without telling anyone?"
Thinking about Ren Yuan's reaction about his disappearance has caused him a slight headache, after all, he was sure that the older man will definitely try to get back at him for leaving just like that without even leaving any warning or even a letter of where he has just gone.
However, his sadistic side couldn't help but find it amusing to make the man become flustered and panic from his disappearance?
Or will Ren Yuan only feel annoyed and won't worry about him since Shao Cheng can admit the fact that he was being troublesome from leaving just like that.
Really, it's hard to predict what the man will do and react most of the time so Shao Cheng isn't really sure what the man is doing now.
Maybe this is a good lesson for trying to make him wear that revolting object a few minutes ago, honestly, what is going on in that head of his to even think of making him use that object.
Especially when Shao Cheng doesn't have any idea about why did Ren Yuan thought that he needed it in the first place, it was not like he was one of those shy women who wanted to hide their beauties or shy from appearing outside.
"Purple? Hello? I have been standing here for a while now, can you stop being mysterious and just get on with it?"
If this purple dragon is trying to troll him, heaven forbid but he will try to think about how to get back at him, although the roar that Purple has let out indicates about him knowing what he was currently thinking, damn mind link.
Well, it doesn't matter to Shao Cheng, he was sure one of these days, he will find Purple weakness.
Before Shao Cheng can let out another question, numerous footsteps of an animal have suddenly reached his ears causing his sapphire eyes to narrowed down before it became open wide in astonishment when a familiar big wolf along with its pact has abruptly appeared before him.
Although Shao Cheng can see that their numbers have lessened significantly and only ten has remained from their numbers that have caused him to feel somber while his eyes glint with gentleness and sadness about the reason why.
After all, Purple has mentioned that while they have been running and hiding from the group of people that has been hunting them down that the wolves pack was determined to help them until the end even though Shao Cheng has told them that it's already good to stop.
"My friends, hey there"
With a soft smile on Shao Cheng's face, he took a step closer, gently squatting down and began to softly caress and pet the big wolf leader and the rest of the wolves that have intimately come close to surrounded him while their tails wag happily from seeing him.
Sapphire eyes gently curving up, Shao Cheng has taken a soft spot and liking to animals and plants after having his special ability, and what happened this time has made him like them more, finding the non-human creatures more trustworthy and dependable, especially loyal and honest unlike the humankind that he is unable to truly trust after everything that happened in both his two lifetimes.
"So Purple has lead you here right?"
With a lick on his face, Shao Cheng has accepted that us the answer to his question before turning his attention to Purple that has float before him and leaning his dragon head to his forehead.
"A reward? Well why not, they deserve it, especially when they will be changing territory and going to grow their packs once more."
Soon, Shao Cheng's sapphire eyes have glowed an inhuman purple light within it and pointing his forefinger with a dense of purple energy on it which has swiftly shot out and going inside the bodies of the wolves around him before starting to speak in an ethereal voice that causes the air itself to vibrate from the sudden mysterious atmosphere that has appeared.
"I, Shao Cheng, which has a link to the spirit of the Chang Empire, give my blessing upon you as long as you live in the land of Chang, these energies will give you protection from any danger you might face whenever which path you walk upon."
Soon, a loud howl resounds at the currently darkening sky before Shao Cheng eyes that have been glowing has returned to normal causing him to blink dazedly, feeling so out of place to whatever it was that Purple has done, one way or another, someone or something has slightly taken over his body at that moment on.
It should bother him, but what can Shao Cheng do?
This is the consequence of accepting an exchange of a deal to Purple, along with that white mist that has pulled his soul from his physical body from before, Shao Chen is completely sure that white mist is the spirit or entity of the Land that he lives, while Purple was a mutation from the heaven will aura that was blessed to the fateful son of Heaven into the world.
Really those fantasy settings, albeit a bit different, seemed to have been added in this new life of his.
With an inward sigh, Shao Cheng has stood up before waving his hands in goodbye to the departing figures of the wolves which are going on a journey to look for an entire location for their new home.
After a few seconds, Shao Cheng couldn't help but lower down his head to stare at his raise hands for a few minutes.
"... so, I am really a monster, huh"
Witnessing his descending of being a strange human, Shao Cheng lip raise up in a mocking smile while his sapphire eyes showed complex emotions of what his life has turned up into.
".... well, I don't regret it"
And before he can descend to another inner dark thought of his, Shao Cheng suddenly felt the little movement inside his inner robe over his chest causing him to gaze down upon it and meeting the small grey eyes of a wolf cub that was silently staring back at him causing a bit of amusement to flash on his eyes.
"Hey there Little RenI didn't think that you'll stay with me."
Giving the sleepy Little Ren a gentle scratch with his fingers, Shao Cheng then turned around to go back at the already brightly lit up Town, while wondering if he should go back to the residence and face a Ren Yuan that still insist of making him wear that bamboo hat with a white veil on it.
