Chapter 146 - Small Heart Demon (1/2)

”Place your hand on mine, I will transmit my knowledge of the technique to you and you can decide whether or not you wish to go forward with it, just know that if you choose to do so your mothers can accompany you, but if not then we can only use their method… whatever choice you make, make the choice your heart urges you to make”

Hearing his voice, the girls did not have much hesitation, as they raised their arms and placed it on Yun Long's palm, as they all received a shared memory regarding his Spirit God Soul Binding.

If they previously held any feelings of disdain for him, or just ignoring him as an unworthy person, they were now paying special attention to him because such a wondrous technique.

A technique to connect two souls together so perfectly, with no backlash regarding the difference in souls, and from what they could gather, so long as Yun Long lives, the binding will never falter.

But when they recognised the spell effect within the Spirit God Soul Binding, they could only think of one word which they just barked at Yun Long…

”SHAMELESS!” x5

Yun Long may have been a little annoyed but the daughter of the Primordial White Tiger ended her shout with a little 'Nya' which had him bamboozled.

”Nya?”

Since it was the only thing that was going through his head he just subconsciously replied to their rage with his very own 'Nya'.

Realising what he had just uttered and the look on the tiger girls face as tears were threatening to burst from her eyes, he simply said ”Hmm… if this Young Master was shameless… would I not just make my condition for you to become my women? Unlike some others you actually have a choice you know…”

Yun Long questioned whilst remembering all the times he had used the alternate timeline to make up bullsh*t stories regarding him…

Whilst he always regretted acting so, Yun Long deemed it necessary to do so… which always annoyed him because if he was given another chance… he would still manipulate his way into their hearts.

'Since I have no malicious intent but a malicious approach, the only thing I can do is repay the debt of love for the rest of my life… but I can only do so when I have reached the apex… otherwise there will always be something waiting to disrupt our lives…'

As he was going through his internal monologue, his body automatically ȧssumed his patented Shota-pose which was created by Sect Leader Hua Mei, and was enough to put the five little girls at bay, whilst the Primordial Black Tortoise was looking at Yun Long for another reason.

The atmosphere around the cave changed, she could recognise that it was slowly developing into a heart demon, even though Yun Long would have never expected such a thing, it did not erase its possibility due to his ignorance.

”Are you tired child?” she asked him.

”Tired…?”

Thinking about his foreseeable future, Yun Long just chuckled pitifully ”It matters not… until I reach the peak and smash all obstacles out of my path… I will never rest easy…”

”That is not what I asked about child… are you tired off having to sacrifice your conscience?” she questioned him once more.

”Conscience… even if I had any left… how can I dare ask for a conscience when I perform such despicable deeds, and whilst I can say that my focus is not trying to manipulate them to give me their hearts… but it still does not change the fact that I have manipulated my way into their hearts… just the thought disgusts me… I… disgust me… since I will carry doing so should it secure my loved one's future…” as he spoke, he gradually started opening up more as his tears just leaked from his eyes automatically.

”Stop… why are you making me… why am I telling you this…” Yun Long said as he crouched and hid his head in between his knees trying to block out her truth-telling voice from making him blurt out stuff he did not want to hear… since it was the part Yun Long locked away to avoid the damage his actions took.

But what good would that do?

”You are indeed too pitiful my dear… a being on your path is the most pitiful existence in the whole Primal Chaos… solely because those attachments will bring you to the brink before fate plays you as they cruelly toy with your life” the Primordial Black Tortoise said pitying Yun Long greatly.

”You manipulate your way into a woman's heart, whilst saying it was to secure the happiness of your loved ones… yet with the current power you possess, does such things even have meaning? The reason why you hate yourself is because you recognise the underlying selfish act of you wanting to have them for yourself… you hated the fact that you treated them like possessions… is that not right child?” the Primordial Black Tortoise asked as she broke down all his mental manipulations.

”Most likely… I guess my thinking was at first to secure my loved ones safety but the added incentives in having such wonderful woman to accompany me for the rest of my life sealed my decision… but I will never treat my woman like a possession, they have their own will for a reason… whilst I cannot say this for those beyond saving, I would never damage my woman just for my selfish dėsɨrės” Yun Long said with conviction.
