Chapter 478 - Returning back to Ayindril (Part-4) (2/2)

”Mother, I am here and I would not disappear.”

Il-Seong simply patted her head as he spoke, ”Child let your mother embrace you to her heart's content when we heard about the incident our hearts had stopped thinking something unsavoury had happened with you.”

Su-Min sighed before she spoke, ”Father, this entire thing was something that I do not know how to describe, it seems so unreal, the last decade I had to spend there was filled with so much happiness, anger, frustration and sadness that I do not know what to think of it.”

Hee-Ra looked at her daughter as she spoke with a sad frown on her face, ”The last few years had been too much for you.”

”Words cannot describe my experience in that place.”

Il-Seong frowned as he spoke, ”You were extremely unlucky to have to suffer so much.”, his frown then morphed into a smile as he continued, ”But, I think I owe your friend my gratitude for saving your life in the second floor.”

A small smile graced on Su-Min's face as she spoke, ”I owe Ryuu a lot more than saving me in the second floor, if it were not for him I doubt we would have managed to accomplish anything.”

The Royal couple shared a knowing look seeing the soft smile on Su-Min's face as Hee-Ra spoke with a grin, ”So, Su-Min what can you say about him? Did you manage to go beyond friends, are we going to arrange for the wedding soon.”

Su-Min blushed as a scandalized look appeared on her face as she spoke out loud, ”Mother!!!”

**********

Back in Ayindril, a lone figure sat on a chair with his legs gathered, and a cup of hot tea in his hand that was cooling down, but his mind lay elsewhere.

A few days ago, back in the Flying vessel, Ryuu stood in front of the Empress who was answering his questions as much as possible, as well as any questions that others and during those discussions the direction of their discussion took an interesting turn.

Empress looked directly into his eyes as she spoke, ”Did you think that this Divine body only appeared in Pangu and your case?”

”No of course not, in between his death and your birth I know of seven such instances when it was reborn to the world, but alas the wielders of the body did not see past their toddler stage, because of they were not born with a dantian.”

She waited for a few breaths before she continued again, ”They were not lucky enough to have a loving aunt or understanding parents as such they were murdered by their own family before they could even learn to walk, and by seven I mean the only one I know, there may be many times that this body would have been reborn.”

Ryuu bit his lips as he spoke, ”So those memories of me growing up in the wilds.”

”Were not false, you did grow up in the wild, in fact, the reason you were not outright killed was simple, and your father, during that life, did not spare you because of some love or sentimental value but because he loved to collect strange, and exotic pets, but unfortunately he was unable to keep you locked in a cage along with his other collections because everyone thought you to be a very bad omen and they did not wish to be anywhere near you, as such the closest thing he could do was toss you into the jungle.”

The present Ryuu could not help but run his hand through his hair as he whispered to himself with his voice choking in sadness, ”Am I cursed to never have loving parents, I do not know if all that I saw was true or a hoax by that woman, but in all three of my life that I know, I never had a loving parent that cherished me but one that never wanted me, neglected me and even wanted to kill, what kind of rubbish is this.”

But, that was not the source of the headache he was feeling as the Empress had dropped another bomb and a rather devastating one at that.

”My beloved Ryuu, I know you would defy me and seek out and fall in love with another wench, but before that let me share a tidbit of information.”

The smile on Empress's face widened as she spoke, ”During the incident at the fifteenth floor, you not only develop strong immunity but you ȧssimilated it to the point that not only your blood but every fluid in your body is a dangerous and potent venom with a very few like me is immune to.”

Upon hearing that Ryuu's face gained a look of horror as the Empress pressed on, ”If you kiss someone you will kill her if you have coitus with someone you will kill her, even your sweat is now deadly”, the Empress then blushed as she spoke the next words, ”But do not worry I am here for you, I can tolerate that puny dose of poison easily so you have nothing to worry about, as I will always be there for you.”

Ryuu did not know how to react to what the Empress had divulged to them, as such all he could do was to brood when he was suddenly brought out of his thoughts as a hand rested on his shoulder making him jump from his seat.

As he turned to look at the person that sneaked up on him, only to be greeted by second and third eldest sister as Shamiran spoke with a frown on her face, ”Ryuu we need to talk.”
