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

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
life and death cycle (laws of creation)
Strong whooshing sounds filled the room, and a tornado formed around the jade box. The black ring inside it lifted out, defying gravity. Black clouds formed above it, followed by crackles of thunder. Demonic chants began to echo from the stone, alongside a thumbing sound similar to heartbeat. Ancient characters appeared above it, like an invisible hand was writing something mid air. Line after line, words appeared, first black, then purple, then blue, then golden. A little distance away, Murong Wuque’s body kept glowing with the ethereal light, creating a stark contrast with the darkness emanating from the stone. Murong Wuque's fingers holding the water twitched, and blood began to drip down his face. His eyes were bleeding. It felt as if someone stabbed giant needles into his eyes for daring to glimpse into heaven’s secrets and cross the boundaries people shouldn't. His body trembled but he remained steady, controlling his consciousness to keep the rampaging stone in line
Taking the hard path
Three hours before Murong Wuque called Qin Li Watching Alvin’s pulse disappear was like a dagger straight to his heart. He didn't wait. He didn't have time to think. He moved fast. His formation discs appeared, and he set up a soul trapping array, preventing Alvin's consciousness from dissipating. Then came the soul binding array. Murong Wuque felt a sharp stab on his chest, then his spirit sea. His bond with Alvin had cracked, dissipating. Forcefully trying to repair it might lead to Murong Wuque losing his divine emperor cultivation, or ending up with a damaged spiritual consciousness himself. But he didn't stop to consider these. He couldn't. The outline of Alvin's soul appeared above the bed, but it seemed to be asleep…luckily. If his soul was awake, he would be considered truly dead, and ready to cross over. Murong Wuque opened a jade box, revealing a black ring. The most powerful artifact in his possession. The stone of divinity. The stone had numerous abilities. The

He seemed ready for a fight, turning the atmosphere more tense than it already was. “Qin Li, what do you mean? Aren't you going too far?” Shi Qian Ling said, his face contorting into a furious scowl. Shi Meng Ying grabbed his arm, shaking her head at him. Trinity stepped forward first. She removed her ear plugs, digital watch, and phone, placing it into the basket at Qin Li’s feet. She equally unplugged her laptop from the wall socket, and dropped it. Leah looked at Qin Li, her lips trembling. “My brother didn't make it…” Qin Li looked away, ignoring his question. Sam shook his head wryly. Indeed, wealthy people were eccentric. He stepped forward and dropped his ear plug, watch and phone into the basket. Then she looked at Qin Li. “As for my other gadgets, they're in my room.” Shi Yue stepped forward, and dropped hers. Amanda followed. She looked at her phone hesitantly, then at Qin Li. “The rest are in my room.” Martha dipped her hand into her apron, and brought out h
