Chapter 11: Ancient Physique?

'Did she find out about everything?' Xu Liang thought with a worried look on his face as he looked at Wen Yin.

"What do you mean his soul is still trapped inside that void? How could he be sitting and talking to us without his soul? "Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu asked as he gazed at Goddess of Medicine Wen Yin with a doubtful look on his face. 

"I'm not kidding! His soul is still inside that void! " Wen Yin said in a grave tone as she once again emphasized her opinion.

" Tell me how it could be possible? You must be mistaken" War God Zhen said as he shook his head.

"I think I know how it could be possible! When I checked Xu Liang for the first time after he fell into a coma, I noticed that his soul was trapped inside that void. I thought that he was plotted against and was given a special kind of poison by someone, which trapped his soul. I considered that being the reason for his coma, but now that he is up and the same situation still persists, I realized that my initial assumption was wrong "Goddess of Medicine Wen Yin said with full seriousness as she glanced at Heavenly Emperor Tian Xu.

"What do you think about it now then?" War God Zhen inquired with a curious look on his face.

" I believe that Prince Liang possesses an Ancient Special Physique. A physique that had never been seen in this world! A spiritual type special physique" Goddess of Medicine Wen Yin continued.

" What? Aren't special physiques the rarest that are only possessed by the rare chosen ones? And for us to see a special physique that had never been seen before? " War God Zhen asked while Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu stood there silently, lost in deep thoughts.

"It is exactly as you said... It's a never before seen Special Physique. It is indeed amazing, but we don't know if this physique is good for him or not. There are many negative special physique in this world as well. " Goddess of Medicine Wen Yin said, but she couldn't help but glance at Princess Yue at the end of her sentence.

"So we don't know how it will affect him in the future?" Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu asked with a disappointed look on his face.

"Do you have any guesses about how his special physique might affect him in the future? As every special physique comes with something special, either a strength or a weakness. As you said, his soul is trapped... What does that mean?" War God Zhen asked with a grave look on his face.

"It is exactly as you said... sadly I don't have the answer to your questions. Is that void protecting his spirit or tormenting it... Will it provide him with some special ability or the pain of a lifetime... we know nothing... We can only know more about it when it becomes more active with time. " Goddess of Medicine Wen Yin said as she looked at Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu.

As they talked, Xu Liang was lost in thoughts as he tried to understand their meaning. His soul was trapped in a void? Why did he feel nothing strange, then? And if it wasn't his soul, then whose soul was it that was trapped? Was it the real Xu Liang's soul that Goddess of Medicine Wen Yin saw trapped? If that was the case, then where was his soul? Why didn't she see his soul as well? All these questions kept flowing through his thoughts.

"Alright, enough talking. You should let him rest. Although he was in deep slumber for many years, it was his body that was resting, not his mind. It's the first day he woke up... you should give him some space to think things through. As for us, we can talk about all this stuff in some other place. " Goddess of Medicine Wen Yin commented as she glanced at the worried look on Xu Liang's face. It was as if she had just realized that she shouldn't be talking about such things in front of him as it might stress him out.

"But..." Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu wanted to say something, but his hand was grabbed by Wen Yin, who pulled him as she walked towards the door.

"As I said!!! He is totally fine now!! Let him have some rest!" Wen Yin let out loudly as she left the room with Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu.

"She could get quite scary when she is serious" War God Zhen muttered as he followed them with a wry smile on his face.

As everyone left, only Xu Liang and Princess Yue were left behind.

"Should I leave as well?" She asked lightly as she looked at Xu Liang with an expectant look.

"I would love it if you stay here for longer" Xu Liang smiled as he gazed at Yue with an affectionate look on his face.

Yue looked somewhat nervous as she walked towards Xu Liang with soft steps and sat beside him on the bed.

"It had been so long since I last saw you. I used to think that you were as beautiful as a girl can get, but you proved me wrong. I must say that you have grown even more beautiful. " Xu Liang smiled as he touched Yue's cheeks softly with affection.

"Really?" Yue let out meekly as a bright smile blossomed on her face.

"I'm not lying. Everything I said is my honest thoughts." Xu Liang said as he smiled lightly.

" Brother Liang has gotten more handsome as well." She let out as her face turned red.

" Hahaha.... Me? I will believe your words" Xu Liang said with a gentle smile on his face.

" Can... Can I spend more time with you? I still feel like it all might be just a dream. " Yue suddenly asked Xu Liang.

" Hmm? Alright, " Xu Liang was stunned as he heard her words, but he felt like there was nothing wrong with her words.

Yue smiled as she climbed on the bed and entered the blanket of Xu Liang. Yue brought her body closer to Xu Liang's as she rested her head near his chest. She stayed like that as she heard Xu Liang's steady heartbeat.

Xu Liang was stunned, but he didn't find it weird. From this world's memory, he knew that Yue and Xu Liang were close as brother and sister, and Yue often shared the bed with him as she talked about her day.

"Don't you need something to rest your head on?" Xu Liang asked with a gentle smile as he looked at Yue. Yue looked towards Xu Liang's face as she nodded.

"Come upwards" Xu Liang chuckled as he rested his left-hand flat on the bed. Yue slid upwards as she rested her head on Xu Liang's upper arm.

Yue stayed like that for quite some time as Xu Liang closed his eyes.

Soon he felt something wet dripping on his arms. He opened his eyes as he looked to his left.

Xu Liang was shocked as he saw tears in Yue's eyes, which were falling to his arms.
