Chapter 93 - Extra – Bloody Fairy Tale (3) (2/2)

【That’s impossible. They’re all Bai Yi’s soul fragments and will definitely like you and become unable to refuse you. You just need to find the right timing.]

Hearing it say that, Cheng Zhi Chu wanted to say something back but the door to the residential palace was suddenly pushed open. From outside, two vampire maids walked in. They gave him a bow and then began to clean up the room.

These two maids would come and clean every day. Cheng Zhi Chi had already become familiar with them. Although they would absolutely obey Kashir’s orders and not be able to help him out, they would often chat with Cheng Zhi Chu and inform him of many things. This included news about “Sleeping Beauty”.

“Although that master is called “Sleeping Beauty”, it was just a story that humans made up. He is actually the lord of Eternal Sleep City. Back then when Master Kashir died, he was the one that revived him.”

The maids finished cleaning and didn’t immediately leave. Instead they sat down and chatted with Cheng Zhi Chu.

“That master is called Chrisis, the only undead magician remaining. He had existed for more than a thousand years and built up the iron clad Eternal Sleep City. Although it is just a city, it’s power is not inferior to any country.”

“But legend says that Master Chrisis and Master Kashir were the same and used to be human. Not only him, Eternal Sleep City was also once a human city. It was one until thousand years ago when our great god bestowed us with punishment and turned the city into an undead city….”

“All the residents in the city had become undead. They acquired immortal life but the cost of it was losing all their emotions and desires. They couldn’t enjoy the joy of life or hold any expectations towards the future. They were just a group of walking dead.”

“Although they are still alive, they had lost the meaning to being alive. So for the past thousand years, many of the residents have chosen to sleep eternally. They were not willing to wake up. Only Master Chrisis insisted to stay and guard over Eternal Sleep City.”

“Master Chrisis is almost omnipotent. As long as you can give him a something that will impress him, he will satisfy all your requests.”

“But he almost has no desires. His requests are also very strange. He would sometimes do strange things for no reason. For example, he once spent a lot of money to turn the dead Master Kashir into a vampire but no one had asked him to do this. After all, back then Master Kashir had no one to turn to. Much of the power was in the dead woman’s hands and he was just a pitiful, ordinary prince.”

“We had the privilege of seeing Mr Chrisis once. He was very gorgeous, even more gorgeous than the most beautiful woman in the world. It was probably because of this that, after a long time, humans created a fairy tale story that described the master as a sleeping princess in the castle, waiting for ‘her’ prince’s kiss……..”

Having said this, the two maids started to giggle: “But how can the master want to have a prince’s kiss? On the contrary, he would find it disgusting. He would definitely turn him into a mannequin.”

Cheng Zhi Chu heard this and knew that the last target that he needed to kiss was Chrisis. He asked: “Where is Eternal Sleep City?”

The maids didn’t know that Cheng Zhi Chu was originally the magic mirrors spirit, otherwise they would definitely doubt his identity. After all, the mirror should be all-knowing. They only thought that Cheng Zhi Chu was a human being raised by Kashir and answered his question without any suspicions.

“It’s far from here. Almost half a continent away. Even if you ride the magical flying car, it would take half a month.”

“If Master Kashir is in a good mood, you can ask him to bring you along the next time he goes to Eternal Sleep City.” The maid’s tone was very teasing, “Master dotes on you a lot so he definitely won’t reject your request.”

Dote him? Cheng Zhi Chu’s lips twitched. He didn’t know how they had come to this conclusion. In the end he concluded that it was because they didn’t see how ferocious Kashir was when he sucked his blood……….

“Okay then, Master Kashir will be back soon so we’ll go first.”

The maids smiled and winked at him: “Your body isn’t good so you should rest well. We will see you tomorr……….”

When they said this, Cheng Zhi Chu suddenly felt strong pain and dizziness. His face instantly turned pale and the vision before his eyes blackened. He fell onto the bed without warning and fainted.

“What’s wrong? Wake up……..”

The two maids were shocked. They gently shook Cheng Zhi Chu but saw that he couldn’t be awakened.

………..

“I’m sorry Master Kashir. We, we………….”

The maids trembled as they knelt in front of the young man with faces covered in tears. The black-haired young man’s expression was extremely dark. He sat by the bed gripping tightly onto Cheng Zhi Chu’s hand only to see that the tip of his fingers was gradually becoming a little transparent. The colour was slowly disappearing from his body. It was as if his body was gradually disintegrating.

He tightened his grip around Cheng Zhi Chu’s hand. He lowered his eyes and fell into silence for a long time before finally speaking to the two knights around him.

“An, Kai. Go to Eternal Sleep city now and invite Chrisis over.”

“……..Yes, your Excellency.”

………..

“Zhi Chu, you’re finally awake.”

Cheng Zhi Chu opened his eyes and found himself lying in bed. The handsome golden-haired young man leaned against the side of the bed and looked at him with a smile. The tentacles behind him reached over and touched his forehead while the others helped tuck Cheng Zhi Chu in.

………He has returned back to the mermaid’s side?

Cheng Zhi Chu was a little confused. He looked around at his surroundings and saw that it was different to Kashir’s palace but equally as impressive. Scattered around were marine treasures including corals and pearls. This was a palace in the ocean.

“Brother has something to sort out and was called away by the tribe so I’m here to guard you. Don’t be angry.”

“Wait, don’t go.”

Cheng Zhi Chu paid no heed to his dizziness and quickly grabbed hold of one of the man’s tentacles. Why are you leaving? Now that the big brother merman isn’t around, he should take this opportunity to kiss the little brother……!

“Hm? What’s wrong? Hungry?”

The young man blinked and looked back at Cheng Zhi Chu. He said with a smile: “Or are you too scared to stay here on your own? Don’t worry, my brother and I will be back soon to accompany you.”

“Come a little closer.” Cheng Zhi Chu endured the shame inside him and asked the young man to come closer.

The young man didn’t suspect him. The eyes looking over at Cheng Zhi Chu was bright and he didn’t refuse his request. He cooperated and moved closer but was caught unprepared by Cheng Zhi Chu’s kiss.

“…………”

He instantly widened his eyes in shock as he looked at Cheng Zhi Chu. His face immediately turned red.

………..

“He is the rumoured Master Chrisis? The lord of Eternal Sleep City?”

Inside the palace, several maids knelt down and bowed their heads respectfully while waiting for Kashir and the others to walk past. Behind him was the twin knights.

They slowly walked further and further away before the maids dared to look back up. One of them watched the back of the man next to Kashir curiously and could only see that the man was very tall and had his long black hair tied up behind him. He wore a long black robe that had countless spots of light on it.

“His robe is so beautiful……..” The maid didn’t see Chrisis’s face and could only admire his clothes, “Those light spots are a little strange. They look like they can form a pattern.”

“The patterns embroidered onto Master Chrisis’s magical robes are called ‘stars’. They can form ‘star charts’ and ‘star magical arrays’.”

Another maid said: “Legend says that in the past the night sky was covered in stars but I think only Master Chrisis has seen a sky like that……”

“The whole sky covered in stars?”

The maid couldn’t imagine such a scene. She looked up out the window and only saw a dozen or so blood-red eyeballs in the sky.

Those eyes swept past her and she hurriedly closed her eyes and prayed: “Please bless us our great god……..”

Chrisis walked next to Kashir and followed him into the palace.

He had lived for more than a thousand years but he still maintained the appearance of a young man. With a pale face void of any colour, the black magical robes that he wore made him look even more pale. His face was extremely beautiful to the point that he was even somewhat feminine.

His expression was calm, and it didn’t change at all. He was like a glass doll. This way of describing him wasn’t wrong. He didn’t have any emotions, it was completely blank.

“……….It’s him.”

Kashir walked next to the bed and looked at Cheng Zhi Chu who laid on it. He grabbed onto the hand that had become more transparent and his dark red eyes showed a hint of anguish. He said in a quiet voice:

“Chrisis……..Please save him. I am willing pay you whatever you want.”

“He’s the magic mirror spirit?”

Chrisis also walked over and asked Kashir.

“………Yes.”

“You broke the magic mirror and destroyed his body. As a mirror spirit, he will naturally disappear.”

Chrisis lowered his eyes and he looked at Cheng Zhi Chu who laid unconscious in bed. His cold fingers slid over his eyes and nose and he gently spoke up.

“But I can save him. As long as you are willing to pay the price.”

“What do you want?” Kashir’s eyes lit up and he looked up at Chrisis.

Chrisis gently caressed Cheng Zhi Chu’s cheek and he looked at him intently. A faint hint of emotion could be detected in those indifferent eyes of his.

“I want him.”

He said.

“I just want him.”
