Chapter 104 - Soul Fragment; Devil Queen. (1/2)

Xuanyin, who was back in her room, could help but think about Wang Lei. First, she did not want to be Wang Lei's maid as her pride as Realm King did not allow her.

But after hearing that it was he who saved her little sister's life, different kinds of emotions started to bubble inside her heart.

And if that was not enough, her 'second personality' has been trying to push her towards Wang Lei.

It was not that she hated him, but she was not sure how to react in front of him, making her mind full of different thoughts.

She sighed as she looked out of the window of her room. She was in deep thought when she felt someone behind her.

Usually, no one dared to come inside her room. And if someone did, then it would be only her sister, Bingyun.

But feeling the coldness behind her, she could tell that it was definitely not her sister, Bingyun. As the pureness of the bloodline of the person behind her was beyond her imagination.

She felt as if she was being watched by her ancestor.

Turning around, she saw an icy beauty standing there. Her beauty was beyond belief that it even captured Xuanyin for a second.

She kept looking at her as she also silently looked at her. Xuanyin did not know why, but her bloodline was telling her not to attack her and just submit herself to her.

The silent beauty was the first one to open her mouth as a sweet melodious voice left it, ”It is the first time we met face to face, Xuanyin.”

Xuanyin's eyes opened to the extreme. She just could not get herself to believe the person standing before her.

Her icy visage shattered as she asked with a stuttered voice, ”W-who are you?”

”You should know me, no? Your bloodline should have given you the answer by the time you saw me.” Ice Phoenix said without any fluctuation in her voice.

Xuanyin could not find words to say. She just stood there like an idiot for whole ten breaths. Taking a deep breath, she finally took the courage to ask, ”Are you… Ancestor Ice Phoenix?”

Ice Phoenix gently nodded her head and said, ”I am. But call me with the name that my Master gave me, Xiao Xue.”

(A/N: I went through many hurdles and puzzles to finally get this name. Though I wanted to use Bing'er – translated to Ice – I went with Xue'er – translated to Snow. While Xiao Xue means 'Little Snow'. I hope I am right.)

(P.S. I forgot that she has met her before in the lake, but since I have already written it, just roll with it…)

”Master?!” Xuanyin asked, astonished. Her ancestor, Ice Phoenix – one of the Three Water-Type Divine Beast – has a Master?

Xue nodded gently and said, ”It is the person who revived me and brought me back to this world.”

Xuanyin clenched her fist tightly and asked with a shaky voice, ”W-who is it?”

”Wang Lei,” Xue said simply.

'Of course, it is!' Xuanyin thought. She had already guess who could this be, but reincarnating a dead True God? It was still a hard pill to swallow.

Seeing as Xuanyin was not saying anything, Xue asked, ”Do you know why I have come to meet you?”

Xuanyin snapped out of her shock and shook her head. How is she supposed to know why her 'dead' ancestor came here to say?

”First, I wanted to talk about your bloodline and the reason why your cultivation is not progressing. And second… about the other soul residing inside you.” Xue said with her emotionless face. Her expression did not change throughout the whole conservation.

”The other soul?”

---

In the Northern Divine Region of God Realm, laid eternal darkness. It was the only place filled with dark profound energy and the only place where devils reside.

Despite being smaller than any other Divine Region, it was still strong enough to stand against any single Divine Region.

Like other Divine Regions, Northern Divine Realms' power structure was also the same – the only difference being that it had three King Realms while the other had four.

These King Realms, just like other Divine Regions King Realms, had their own set of legacies left behind by the ancient True Devils.

These legacies let them jump directly into the Divine Master Realm and made their progress towards the late-stage of Divine Master comparably fast than others without legacies.

Soul Stealing Realm was one of these King Realms, but different from other King Realms – also the most feared King Realm, not for their powers, but their ruler.

Devil Queen Chi Wuyao! The most feared person in the whole Northern Divine Region. Her being the most fearful person was not because of her strength – well, it might also have played a role – but because of her devilish means of ascending to power.

It is a known fact that Devil Queen is a seductress and a woman that would squeeze everything out of man.

She was just a normal participant before becoming a Devil Queen, but her ascension to the peak was itself questionable to many cultivators of the Northern Divine Region.

She had married four times, and every time her husband died for an unknown reason. Coincidentally, her every husband was an influential person in Devil Region, the last one being the previous Realm King of Soul Stealing Realm.

Just for this reason, she was feared by most people of the Devil Region.
