21 Chapter 21: Spirits? (1/2)

”Finally, those ten hours really took a long time. I wonder what Jasmine up to right now.”

After returning from his sea of consciousness, Yun Che was back to his own body. He was about to open his eyes but…..

”Milord ? Are you awake? My lord, my lord, please answer me”. The voice pleaded.

Milord ? Whose voice was this? All I remember was Jasmine was the only one in my inner world. If she started to call me 'My Lord', I rather have Zangetsu shoved his feet up my ass.

Wait, Jasmine's voice was young and quite had this arrogant tone. This voice sound rather womanly and it was quite soothing to hear. As Yun Che was figuring out the mysterious voice, another voice entered his ear.

”Calm down my lady, his connection with our souls finally restored itself. He'll wake up very soon.”

That voice, Old man Zangetsu?

”Hmph…This bastard, let me have a few round with his face. I am sure a few slaps and some kicks would wake him up.”

'Ah, that voice.'Yun Che sweat dropped. That was the voice of his hollow.

Wait..How did they get into my inner world?

”No, don't you dare harm my lord. He'll wake up soon. I can feel his feelings through us again.” The soothing voice sounds once more.

”Can you all stop bickering? He'll wake up soon enough. The disciple of this princess isn't going to die so easily. If he really does, I'll find him in the afterlife and kill him again.”

That voice, Jasmine? She talked to them? How?

”All right, now the time to wake up before Hoyuu slaps the living hell of out me.” Yun Che finally grunts as if he was waking up from a long slumber. As he was opening his eyes....

”Hmph, about time you wake up. This princess was started to get bored. I assume the process was completed?” Jasmine asked Yun Che.

”Yeah, it was.” Yun Che slowly getting up.

”This world change a lot. What happen?” Yun Che asked Jasmine.

His world changed a lot after the upgrade. Previously, the sky in his world has two layers of color. Now, his inner world sky is divided into three colors. One part of the sky was red, another part is green and the last one was blue. The sky was still full of stars. Yun Che felt his Evil God powers came from the red part of the sky, his Sky Poison Pearl from the green part and his Soul powers came from the blue part of the sky. The cloud formation was expanding and it was becoming even more beautiful. The System orb was getting larger and shinier. Almost resembles a star.

His land was expanding rapidly. It was now a size of a football field. Yun Che was currently under a massive tree. Jasmine said, the suddenly grew from the middle part of the land. The tree was big but it had no leaves on it. Yun Che sense his Profound Spirit Force was inside the tree. He assumed the tree grew after successive fusion in his power sources.

He was shocked when he saw Jasmine. She was wearing a snow blue kimono with a red sash around her waist. Seeing her in that, he was quite speechless for a while. She was quite beautiful and Yun Che was stunned by her. But the real question is….

”Where did you get these clothes?” Yun Che asked her.

As she was about to answer….

”Milord!!! You finally up, I was so worried.”A woman was sprinting towards him and immediately tackled him to the ground.

”Ekkkk, so cold and quite soft actually”. Yun Che realised that his head was on top of her bosom. That feeling, it was softer than any pillow he slept before.

'No..no..no…now not the time for that.' Yun Che finally takes a good look at the owner of the soothing voice. She was a pale-skinned young woman with icy blue eyes. She has long, pale lavender hair, which is partially tied up in the back in a long bun and falls behind her shoulders while a strand falls between her eyes, and is parted on the left side of her head by a blue, star-shaped hair clip. She wears a white kimono with large sleeves and a long hem, and has a pale yellow-green obi wrapped around her waist which is attached to a large, pale purple bow on her back.

She was beautiful. She was comparable to Jasmine herself.

”This is....” Yun Che slowly murmured.

”Sode No Shirayuki” Yun Che slowly said.

”Milord, you recognised me? Even you never met me before? I am so happy.” She immediately cried and started to hug Yun Che once more. For a Zanpakuto, for their master to recognized them is the sign of their master acknowledge them. Of course Yun Che knows her. She was one of his 2D crushes in his previous world.

”Hmph…It's about time you wake up. One more second and I might shove my feet down your throat.” Hoyuu was speaking while looking at him, smiling creepily.

”Nice to be up as well, Hoyuu.” Yun Che looked at him while smiling as well.

[Ding…affinity with Hoyuu increased by 5]

Ah yes, affinity. These points are awarded if the relationship between him and his Zanpakuto improved. 0 being the lowest and 100 is the highest. Since Zangetsu was a male, the relationship at 100 is as close as brothers for him. He rather dies if it goes beyond.

”Looks like you have grown stronger boy.” Old man Zangetsu interjects.

”Yeah, 'stronger'.” Sort of. Yun Che hides his level for now. If he tells them, who knows what might they do to him.

”Ara…Hsss…, your aura grows stronger. You are worthy enough to be my master after all.” A sexy and alluring voice suddenly enters Yun Che's ears.

This voice….

A white snake suddenly emerge beside him. The snake was snow white and had red eyes. Yun Che was quite shock because this was his first time seeing a talking snake.

”Did I just die or went crazy? I saw a snake talking to me.” He started to ask his spirits.

”Hey hssss, that's rude. Hssss….” the snake replied him.

”THE SNAKE TALKS....” Yun Che pretending to be shocked again.

”Hsss….this guy asking for a beating…hsss.. ” The snake was preparing its tail to slap the living shit out of him.
