5 She stands no chance in winning

Three years have passed since the incident, but the fear she brought never lessen as the emperor's warriors stood guard at the entrance of the realm.

The emperor back at the palace was slowly lossing his mind bit by bit. His daughter never attacked him yet he fears that the moment he let his guard down she would appear dressed in her pure white robes and commit patricide. Although he is an immortal he can be killed. He killed his daughter, so why can't she?

To kill an immortal was of course not an easy task but not impossible. All it takes to kill an immortal is to have the people forgotten them. Since Fan Dandan created trouble wherever she goes her name was well known from the lowest tier world up-to the highest where the Jade Emperor reside.

He of course cannot forget his daughter as a power hungry, vengeful deity, and he in constant fear contributed to her rebirth. Even if he swallow memory erasing pill, the heart can never forget the fear that Fan Dandan instill. Although he knows he's daughter would come back eventually, Her rebirth was a bit to soon. He had completely underestimatated Fan Dandan's powerful realm and her loyal servants, especially the boy named Huang Syaoran.

Remembering clearly, Huang Syaoran was a halfling. Born from a demon father, and a mortal mother. Before he was born the poor boy's mother died, and without much of a choice he clawed his way out of his mother's womb, only to be rejected by his father and the world. Since he was a halfling, an anomaly in the system everyone avoided him like a plague.

Wherever he goes he was rejected and was brutally beaten so much that he would cough up blood. His resentment grew everyday and everyday his bright eyes that were once full of life would slowly dimmed down into complete darkness. So what does a boy full of hatred do? Kill.

He made his name known throughout the heavens as anomaly and would slaughter anyone in his path like craze psychopath. His works of course reached the ears of the Jade Emperor as he ordered his soldiers to subdue the mad halfling. It took them a whole year before he was captured because the boy was not only ruthless, he was terribly cunning. If he knew he couldn't win he would retreat without a second thought, using his demon's blood to his advantage and hide in the darkness. One against the heaven, although he was feared the soldiers who fought against him earned him their respect as the boy not only took one head of the commander but two.

But all things must come to an end. He was captured and was brought in front of the Jade Emperor, and without batting an eyelash he sentence Huang Syaoran into death, and that was the first meeting of him and Fan Dandan.

The goddess who was watching at her father side watch with amusement as her deep blue eyes shined as if she had stars in them. She slowly descended from her sit, and lazily made her way towards the boy, earning a few bewildered stares, especially from the emperor. Cupping his cheeks she slowly, yet gently raised his head allowing him to meet her eyes. With an amused grin her deep set of dimples captivated the people surrounding them. It wasn't strange that the goddess have an amused grin. What surprises them was that her cold eyes revealed warmth. For someone like Huang Syaoran, his gaze narrowed at the sight of the woman.

Unperturbed by the stares the people giving her Fan Dandan let go of the boy's face, only to ask something outrageous.

"I want this boy. Give him to me. "

The shock that the people receive let their mouths open as their eyes widen in surprise. Sure, Fan Dandan was outrageous, but to this extent. Surely she wasn't? right?

Clearly mad, The emperor raised his brow before clearing his throat. Everyone in the room could see his vein bulging as he tried to put his anger in check.

"Impossib—"

Fan Dandan didn't even let him finish speaking and cut him off.

"You're the emperor. The word impossible should not exist in your vocabulary." A hint of annoyance can be clearly heard in her tone. Rolling her eyes she broke the chains that was holding the boy in check, she took his hand and slowly excited the room.

The guards that were present clearly didn't know what to do. Should they watch her leave and face the emperor's wrath and face death or should they stop the Goddess and be crippled from this day forward.

Suprisingly, Fan Dandan always let everyone who dares stand in her way still have their head attached to their neck. She would only cripple them until they are like broken rag dolls. For the highest tier world, power is a must and to be useless is worst than death.

And so they let her took the boy. They would rather face death with honour than live with shame. The emperor however had an unsightly expression as could only watch his daughter exert dominance.

He's the emperor so why is his child much more powerful than him, add to that halfling who she just brought home would probably start to get stronger, after all the boy was still a child, and his possibilities were endless.

And he wasn't wrong. The boy, Huang Syaoran grow up into which he had feared. Add to that his an anomaly, he would have a peculiar quirk that can be called a trump card, sadly the emperor didn't know what it is.

Back at the exodus realm, Huang Syaoran watch as the previously fourteen year old girl grew into the vibrant seventeen year old girl who was currently running towards him with a wooden sword.

With a swift move he dodge the attack and counter by slightly kicking the wrist of the girl. With that kick Fan Dandan's gripped on the sword lessen and without missing a beat, Huang Syaoran encircled around her, pinned her right arm to her back before he put the sword in her neck.

"damn it. " Fan Dandan could only swear as she catches her breath. Huang Syaoran of course let her go but not before taking advantage of the situation. He dropped the wooden sword before hugging her from behind.

"Dandan" he muttered before burying his head on her neck. Fan Dandan was already red from the training she received. Now she felt even warmer when Huang Syaoran called her name lovingly. She placed her hand on her chest and tried to calm herself down but her mind was screaming.

Eeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkk.

Thankfully they were just training so she felt relieved at the thought that Huang Syaoran shouldn't notice her heartbeat. But he did.

"Dandan. " Huang Syaoran whispered in her ears softly as her whole body stiffens. "You're blushing." he teased. Fan Dandan immediately shook away from his grasp and ran toward An Meilin who was walking towards them carrying refreshment.

Drinking the ice lemon juice to calm herself down Fan Dandan glared at the man who was holding his laughter. Frowning, she rolled her eyes.

"It's not good to contain it. You might hurt yourself. " Her eyes were pleading to him to get over it instantly and just shut up. Letting out a small chuckle, Huang Syaoran made his way towards Fan Dandan who was still glaring at him.

The then fourteen year old girl who couldn't even look at him in the eye without blushing was no glaring daggers at him. The fact that Fan Dandan could last 10 seconds in fighting him was already a feat itself. Although she is still weak, she is much more stronger than an average lower tier human.

Still gazing at the girl in front of him he couldn't help but to open his eyes and look at her warmly. Fan Dandan on the other hand pretend not to notice as she had been living here for three years, and was supposedly be immune to Huang Syaoran advances. But nope.

She felt her heart skipped a beat, and just as always she would pretend to watch and be fascinated by the tree's around her. An Meilin who notice this behavior couldn't help herself and let out a small giggle.

Back before her death, the goddess would swiftly return Huang Syaoran advances and double it without missing a beat and would sometimes take it up to notch that everybody would ask themselves isn't she embaressed? The answer is always no.

Sadly, even though she was like that to Huang Syaoran, everybody knew, even him, that this was just only a past time. A game.

And in this game Huang Syaoran is losing badly.

When she took him home, when she broke his shackles. Huang Syaoran would openly glare at her, and would always be on guard, and if given a chance would sometimes lunge at her with a knife, a lance or any weapon at hand. The goddess would only let out a yawn before looking at him with an amused grin. Her warm stares would always caught him off guard. Just as he would close in the temperature would drop in abnormal rate that Huang Syaoran would feel his bones rattle. His knee's would go weak, and gave away. His body would shake uncontrollably only for it to disappear when Fan Dandan would pinch his cheek and would scold him.

Overtime, their relationship gradually improve. And having the demon blood on his veins, Huang Syaoran was no doubt naughty that Fan Dandan sometimes couldn't help to think that her personality was rubbing on him. Nonetheless, the goddess deeply cared for the half demon boy.

Huang Syaoran on the other hand was slowly falling in love with her, and even if the goddess would notice it she would just play it off, pretend to be dense or sometimes would tease him that would made Huang Syaoran think as to why he fell for this person.

Walking towards Fan Dandan, he reach out to her before carrying the shocked girl in his arms.

"P-put me down! " Fan Dandan cried out and just like the first day when she opened her eyes in this realm she waved her arms like a mad person. The difference is this time she didn't push him.

"Stop making a fuss. Or I would drop you. " Huang Syaoran, noticeably amused tighten his grip on her waist.

The previous Fan Dandan would openly provoke him with a flirting glance. Now, the girl that he was holding was the same Fan Dandan he love, was different in every way.

Sensing, Huang Syaoran was leaning in closer, Fan Dandan closed her eyes before she felt a warm lip on her forehead. Her body instantly tensed up as she thought of Huang Syaoran as a demon.

This time, in this part of her life Huang Syaoran planned that she would be the one to lose the game, with no hope of winning it.
