Chapter 4 - That Thing (1/2)

The golden film which was as thin as the soap bubble seemed extreme fragile, easy to break at the slightest touch.

The young boy whose skin was delicate like a newborn’s was brought to the King of the Netherworld, naked and being in a sound sleep.

The world fell into silence for a short while. There was only the sound of the flowers blooming and the green bristle grass rustling while it was growing from the ground…

The extremely handsome but emotionless King of the Netherworld stared at the boy indifferently. Nothing changed in his eyes which were as black as dark abyss. There was only an apathetic look on his face as if he had been born with no expressions at all. As he snapped his fingers slightly, the Way of Heaven showed up in his hands right away… In no time, he knew the past of this boy as well as… why the Way of Heaven had treasured this boy so much…

A slightly surprised feeling flashed in his mind. However, that feeling disappeared so quickly because he didn’t even have the chance to catch it or that was only a meaningless thing to him. After that, he didn’t know why but he reached out his long fingers, the bones of which were glittering, to touch the boy’s face…

The king rubbed the boy’s blushed face with his round finger pulps gently, seeming to be feeling the tenderness of the boy’s skin.

After a long while, there was a long and deep sigh sounding in the Desire Sea.

Millions of flower buds started to blossom one after another, competing with each other for beauty…

In the next moment, the boy, seeming to respond to the welcome ceremony of the flower sea, opened his eyes slowly.

The gleam shone impatiently from the slits of his eyes which were as bright as the obsidian.

The boy had a beautiful face. What’s more, the ethereality on his face made him look brilliant and even more gorgeous than himself when he had been in the Human World.

At the same time, King of the Netherworld took back his hands.

The young boy purred like a kitten. The first thing came into his sight after he had opened his eyes was a man.

The man stood there with an imposing manner, looking domineering. His white robe which was made of unknown materials seemed super exquisite, but not as exquisite as his gorgeous face.
