absorbing the Moon's essence
It was midnight. Even without the clock, Murong Wuque could tell. The energy of earth always seemed to change once it was twelve. The energy pull was strongest, and forces of darkness often arose during this period to engage in nefarious activities. Tonight, he had no interest in checking the activities of dark forces. He had better things to do. Alvin was safe now. Although unconscious, he was out of danger. His soul was firmly seated in his body, bones had been reset, ligaments attached, tissues repaired. He only needed to adjust to the new condition of his body, and wake up. The baby was sleeping peacefully in the cot which was placed beside the bed, close to Alvin. This was to make it easier for Murong Wuque to keep an eye on them. His body was currently a wreck. He couldn't take care of his body, yet he had to care for another two. The corner of his lips curved ever so slightly in a soft smile, and his fingers moved over Alvin's face, tracing its contours. “An Kai, y
Blind surgeon
Murong Wuque carefully stripped Alvin naked, to examine the level of damage. “An Kai, I can't see it anyway. Don't feel violated.” He muttered, trying to concentrate on the task at hand. Alvin’s fingers subtly moved, but Murong Wuque didn't notice because he couldn't see. On second thought, he covered Alvin with a towel. He looked around the room and spread his spiritual consciousness. His sister's detained spirit had gone back to the golden stone acting as its spectral gate. Except for the baby who was dozing off, there was nothing else. Murong Wuque's cheeks were flaming, turning to a bright pink color. The thought that Alvin was currently naked and under his mercy made him feel a bit awkward about the matter. The strange feelings ravaging him made him feel like a wicked pervert. He exhaled a shaky breath, counting one to ten. “He's just a patient. A patient. Nothing special.” He repeated the words to himself, and took Alvin’s hand, ready to examine him. His organs wer
doing a good deed
By the time Murong Wuque returned to the room, he was totally exhausted, physically and mentally. The kid was wrapped in a huge towel, and was leisurely blowing spit bubbles. Murong Wuque pulled the cot into the bathroom and left him there, to change out of his clothes. He burnt both the protective clothing and his robe. Then entered the shower and set the water to a scalding temperature, scrubbing himself sore. Even after fifteen minutes, he wasn't satisfied. He only stepped out because he recalled he was yet to perform surgery on Alvin. The aura might be keeping him alive, but if his bones and organs weren't corrected, even after waking up, he might lose some functions. Therefore, time was a valuable commodity. He could only endure his disgust and find new clothes to change into. The baby was lying obediently, while he dressed into a new set of robes and trousers. “Kid, where am I going to find diapers and new born baby sized clothes? Are you happy being naked?” The bab
raising you is exhausting
Murong froze like a slab of cheese left in the winter cold. His hands trembled, and he wanted to toss the kid out. “Don't throw it.” A soft voice whispered behind him. He slowly turned towards the speaker. It was his sister’s detained spirit. She gradually stopped the music and her zither disappeared. “Children can't control their impulses, please don't throw him. Take him to the bathroom and clean him up.” “I won't! I can't.” Murong Wuque dumped the kid on the couch and screamed, stamping his feet on the floor. He felt like crying. Now he had to clean up wastes from a stupid gremlin’s body too. He hurried to the bathroom and turned on the water, ignoring the crying kid. He kept scrubbing his hands with hot water, till it turned red. Yet he didn't stop. In the room, the kid kept crying. Murong Wuque collapsed against the wall, and tears clouded his eyes. Why did he have to suffer so? Why was every bad thing happening to him? Now his skin has been corrupted. He took dee
separating chaff
Murong Wuque found the baby's face, arms and legs, then carefully carried him up. He sighed, rocking the whimpering bundle in his arm. “Kid, you really came at an inconvenient time. I can barely take care of Alvin in my current situation, and keep the house clean. Now I have you in my hands too. I also worry that you might get affected by the herbs and artifacts I will be using to restore him. What am I going to do with you?” “Ahh… wuu…” The baby made some sounds, as if offering his own suggestion on how to go about the matter. The child's babbles made Murong Wuque's lips stretch into a warm smile, and he caressed the baby's back. “You also think so? An Kai will twist off my neck if you end up not looking clean and well fed. What do you suggest we do?” “Buu..ahh… wuu…” Murong Wuque began to laugh. He didn't understand a thing but he kept nodding in agreement to whatever the child was telling him in baby language. “Why were you crying? Were you hungry?” He carefully moved t
A heavy price to pay
The music got softer, turning soothing. Murong Wuque's breath evened out, and the fire, thunder and metal elements in his left hand disappeared. He exhaled slowly, and opened his eyes. Thick blood clouded his eyes, hiding his irises. His clothes were drenched with sweat, and he slowly stood up on unsteady feet. The moment his feet touched the floor, the golden stone shook. He carefully made his way forward, like he couldn't see what was in front of him. His footsteps left blood prints on the floor, as if his soles were peeled open. He made his way to Alvin, and felt for the bed, then he slowly sat down beside him. It all felt so strange to him. Previously, with his eyes closed, he could still find things as clear as day thanks to his powerful spiritual consciousness. But this time, he didn't just lose his sight, he also lost his ability to form bonds with the environment. His fingers moved lightly on the bed, till it touched Alvin. He followed the lines of his body up, til
