18 ARC ONE:CH-1.8

Two days later his eyes finally opened.

"Nulis, can you please warn me in advance before the final call falls?" Ivar irked feeling irritated.

"Host. I will set a reminder in advance next time." Nulis replied guiltily.

"How long have I...." Been asleep.... Ivar had yet to complete his sentence when he noticed something strange. It was the presence of another person. He narrowed his eyes at the other person. Judging by the way this person was concealing herself it seemed that she had probably sneaked in here. He looked out the window. It was night fall.

"Show yourself." He spoke to the unwelcomed guest. It was a bit unexpected to think that she would sneak in like this when she was actually supposed to rule over the harem of Guang Wang Lei's lovers.

"Stop hiding behind the door." He said for the second time.

A beautiful face that rivaled that of the goddesses depicted in legends emerged from behind the door. She wore a black cloak that covered her head. A pair of beautiful mesmerizing eyes stared back at Ivar from underneath the cloak. She raised her hand and took off the cloak revealing herself. Strands of silver hair fell in a swoop, letting itself fall upto her hips. Her fierce eyes stared at the person on the bed with a calculating gaze.

Ivar waited for her to speak. Xing Chu Lin, the mighty supposed to be empress of the protagonist's harem was here at the courtyard. On what bussiness?

Xing Chu Lin finally moved her lips to speak.

"Who are you?" This was the first sentence that left her red lips.

Ivar stared at her. "You should be aware of who I am." This question seemed to be strange for some reason.

She shook her head. Her eyes sharpened as she repeated the same question. "Who are you?" She could feel her heart beating fast with anticipation. "You are not Chu Gui. I have investigated you and your current actions and the way you talk and hold yourself does not align with the Chu Gui that the people of the jade palace know. Let me ask you again, Who are you?"

Nulis felt a shudder hit its soul. "Host." The system urged.

"I know." Ivar replied. His eyes narrowed at the woman before him. He studied the expression on Xing Chu Lin's face. What he found on her face were traces of hesitation, anticipation and a bit of denial in them. Ivar smirked. "And, how do you know if the Chu Gui that the people of the jade palace know is the real one?"

When he threw the fact back onto her he could see confusion arise in her eyes.

"Just for your information, the way I conducted myself like this or that in the past had a reason." Because I had not crossed over yet and the original was still here. He thought. Ivar said this calmly, lying without batting an eye.

Xing Chu Lin felt doubtful listening to his words. No way! That voice said that this person was not the original Chu Gui. Or was she played by that voice claiming that it was the gods? Hesitation crept up to her brain on the spot. She clenched her hands tightly underneath her long sleeves, squeezing the thing inside her palm.

Ivar's eyes slanted at her arms. "Is that poison?"

She flinched at his words.

"Do you think that it can kill me, an immortal sage god?"

She froze on the spot, feeling coldness numb her body. Her eyes darted around avoiding looking at the person on the bed.

Ivar snorted in silence. He got up from his bed and walked to her. When he was standing before her he stared down at her with a cold indifference gaze, his eyes narrowing at her dangerously. He leant down to her ears and whispered.

"Perhaps, did a voice told you to kill me?" He noticed her shoulders flinch at his words. Ivar felt his mouth twitch. He knew his guess was right. Damn those gods!

"Nulis, you see...they are trying to get rid of us both, do you see? The gods that sent you over to bind me are trying to get rid of us, me and yes, you too, do you understand what it means?" Ivar spoke to the system in his mind in a low, cold and freezing tone.

Nulis felt a shudder electrify it's soul. Wuwuwu....scary... "Host, please calm down. Also, the reason I took this job is not because I believe in them but simply because I wanted to regain my memories. Also, once I accumulate enough to buy myself a physical soul, I will fulfill my promise to you. Host, you must be patient." It voiced its own thoughts timidly, afraid of angering the already angry Lion.

Ivar snorted. "I know. But it makes me so angry to think that they are still aiming for my life when I have yet to extract revenge on them. How dare they!" He let out a dense killing intent aura. His eyes steered down at the female protagonist of this world, who by the way was shivering as the bloodlust that was leaking from Ivar's eyes was directed at her.

"Should I just kill you off?" Ivar spoke calmly, his face as serene as the calm ocean, and his eyes expressionless like a dark sky. He raised his hand and out them around the frail neck of the woman before him.

"Host! Calm down! You must not kill the female protagonist or else the world will...." Nulis had yet to finish when Ivar shouted angrily at it.

"Nulis!" Ivar shouted. He slanted his eyes dangerously at the system's image inside his brain, his eyes red with rage that were literally screaming out four words...."Shut the Fuck up!"

The system shivered with fear when it saw its host directing the killing intent in his eyes at its mechanical soul. Wuwuwu...it began to sob silently. So scary. Host is so scary. Wuwuwu...just kill me with your eyes.

Xing Chu Lin felt her soul tremble when cold finger tips grasped her neck, the grip of these fingers made her aware of how foolish she had been to listen to the command of that voice.

"What's this?" A cold voice interrupted them. "What's this happening right now?"

Xing Chu Lin steered her eyes towards the familiar voice. Her eyeballs shook when she saw her lover standing near them. However the man's eyes were fixated on Ivar rather than her. Ivar squinted his eyes at the person who came in. His eyes were still leaking with a strong bloodlust, the killing intent, likewise, was directed at this person too. Guang Wang Lei froze. The current appearance of Ivar right now felt chilling and ruthless, as if this person would really snap the neck in his hands into pieces. His eyes were red with anger, the bloodlust in them raging like a Storm, not to mention the jet black orbs as expressionless as the pitch black darkness in them. He walked over to him and grabbed his hand in an instant. Xing Chu Lin stumbled and fell over, the strength in her knees leaving her legs. She gazed up at her lover but the other was still staring at Chu Gui.

Guang wang Lei looked into Ivar's eyes. His brow arched up in amusement. This insanely chilling angry face of this person was worth looking.

"What's this? What made you this angry to the point that even your eyes are so red as if you are about to cry." He spoke in a teasing voice, rubbing his thumb against the mole below Ivar's eye.

Ivar glared at him. He then scooted away from him in an instant, glaring dangerously at Guang Wang Lei. "Shut up!" He shouted at him.

The other person was taken aback by a bit. His own eyes narrowed at Ivar's face. He grabbed this person by the back of his head with one hand while the other hand encircled on Ivar's frail waist. With a forceful tug the person caught in an iron like grip was pulled forward.

Forehead hit against another forehead.

"You dare!" An authorative voice spoke huskily, a hint of teasing could be traced in them. "If you dare to shout at me like that don't blame this one for smacking you on your lips!"

Ivar's glare became even more fierce. He was about to retort when he noticed the man stare with lustful eyes at him. He felt a shudder in the places this person was touching him, on his forehead, his head's back and his waist.

Guang Wang Lei smirked when he noticed the other person get the message across. He exerted some force onto the hand that was attached to Ivar's slim waist which made the other frown a bit.

"Just you try! If you wanna be kissed by me." Guang Wang Lei spoke, a smirk adorning his face.

Ivar glared at him. He tried to get away from his grip but the other person's iron fingers kept digging onto his body, the grip tightening with more force with each struggle.

Meanwhile the woman on the floor felt her soul turn into a statue when she witnessed this kind of extreme intimacy between these two men before her. One was her lover and the other was her lover's nemesis. Her soul had left her body at the moment. Then she saw her lover squint his eyes at him and it made her heart leap bringing back the soul that had left her body back to place.

Cough. Cough.

A mouthful of blood gushed out from her mouth, drenching her cloak and the floor red. Her eyes widened at the blood. She then felt a pressuring aura subjugate her. When she tried to look up to her lover she felt a chilling gaze fall onto her, the gaze just like the previous man's, held an intense intent to kill.

Xing Chu Lin couldn't believe that she had met two people the same day who wanted to kill her off for good. One was a man she should never mess with and the other was her own lover.

Next, she heard the sound of a snapping finger and she was already back at her place, the dark place where she had been trying to heal her broken heart every day and night.

"I will deal with you later." She clearly heard her lover say these chilling words before she was teleported back to here

"You failed." The same voice spoke to her.

Xing Chu Lin felt the anger in her heart rise. She suddenly let out a loud scream. Her high pitch voice almost destroyed the eardrums of the gods at the higher realm.

"You!" She shouted into the space. "Because of you.....I almost died by my lover's hands!"

The voice paused for a bit. "So? Not only did you fail the mission now you are even complaining huh!"

"Shut up! Shut up. Shut up!" she yelled angrily. She was almost killed by her own lover today and what for, just for a man? Anger couldn't even describe the emotion she was feeling right now.

The voice of god spoke to her regardless of her yelling. "It was all because of Chu Gui. Don't you want to get revenge on him? If you get rid of him your lover will come back to you."

Revenge? Kill Chu Gui and her lover will come back to her? Xing Chu Lin's mind replayed the scene where cold, indifferent eyes of the two men looked down at her with bloodlust. Her body shuddered involuntarily. She squeezed her eyes shut, pulling her silver hair fiercely. The look of her lover's eyes as he gazed down at her as if she were an ant....no...that's not right. This man was not her lover. Guang Wang Lei was not the sweet Guang Wang Lei she knew. She had been trying to deny it but now she couldn't.

"If you want revenge, I can help you get it." The voice continued to speak.

Xing Chu Lin bit her lips. She suddenly let out a distorting laugh and stared at the ceiling. "Scram! What voice of god. Shut up! Scram. Scram! Scram!" She shouted at the top of her lungs. Dying at the hands of her lover was the last thing he wanted. As for revenge, don't make me laugh.....that person is not someone she sould mess with.... She thought to herself sobbing pitifully.

The voice of god did not reply to her yelling. And once more, the huge chamber was filled with muffled sobs of a beauty who had been almost killed by her once lover today.

Ivar felt his whole head burning with anger. This bastard had not released him yet.

"Oh? What's this?" a playful voice exclaimed. "Are you perhaps....." Running his fingers through Ivar's hair, "Blushing?" The body in between his arms trembled with anger. "Hm. Beautiful indeed. Blushing this hard to the point your head is releasing smoke, indeed so cute and beautiful. You are indeed one of a kind." The bastard continued to tease him.

"L.E.T G.O!" Ivar spat at him through gritted teeth. He was powerless against this man's strength.

The man smirked at him replying straightforwardly. "No."

Ivar could feel his veins pop out ready to explode with anger and humiliation. The grip around his waist tightened. This made him let out a grunt in discomfort.

"Remember." Guang Wang Lei spoke blowing aganist Ivar's left ear. "I hold the power to trap you in between my arms if I wish too." He then shifted to the right ear and licked them lightly. "I also hold the power to make you speak out your secret if I wish to." He continued to blow into the ear that was tinted red with anger and humiliation. "Also." He whispered. "I hold the power to find you if you were to run away."

Ivar was so angry. He felt like his entire body and soul would explode from irritation.

Guang Wang Lei had his fill teasing him. He retreated his lips. His face was now facing Ivar's angry face that was looming with darkness. "Also." He continued. Drawing his face closer to the other's, he affirmed. "If there is anyone that you wish to kill, I can kill them off for you easily. That is if you ask me to...." So my little kitten....why don't you go ahead and grab this chance. Be it Xing Chu Lin or whoever, I could get rid of them just with a flick of my finger....
