187 Bai Longs Confession 2 (1/2)
”Grrrr...” A deep growl rumbled from the dragon who began to shake his head as if wanting to say something.
The series of successive and incoherent growls eased the atmosphere, breaking away the prevailing tension.
With a roll of eyes, Feng Huo flicked his fingers following which the white dragon started to morph into human form.
Very soon, a young handsome man with ruby eyes and silver hair appeared before them. The appearance was so striking that it would make people want to look twice at him, but, Feng Huo who had seen all of the world stared at him indifferently, his patience running thin as he waited for the answer.
Sensing the old man's displeasure, Bai Long answered in a hurry ”We all know that the human girl is the reincarnation of Princess Huang Lian. To stabilize her soul and to prevent her death, I summoned a part of her soul to occupy the body.”
”We all searched for parts of her missing soul with no positive results. How did you manage to summon a fragment of her soul?”
This was the question which Bai Long feared the most. Then again, after coming this far there was no turning back. He had to admit and only hope that the old man does not flip out in anger and roast him to death.
Gathering the remaining of his courage, Bai Long gritted his teeth while answering ”I summoned her soul from the future.”
Future...
How come...?
Feng Huo stiffened at the abrupt realization of the white dragon's powers- Bai Long can see through time and manipulate it to an extent.
The astonishment lasted only for a while, and soon the implications of the dragon's thoughtless actions settled in.
It was a taboo to summon someone from the other dimensions of time other than the one they are living in. Summoning from the future meant killing the physical body and trapping the soul to travel through the time, directing the aimless soul to occupy the body given by the summoner. The sad thing is that the summoned soul will have no idea about what happened to them and why they were in a whole new world!
Souls cannot transmigrate through the time without the aid of external forces, in this case the force being forbidden magic.
”So, you killed a person?” As usual, Feng Huo did not mince his words.
Letting out a deep breath, Bai Long continued ”It was necessary and I only did what I thought was right.”
”You did what you thought was right! You took a life!” Feng Huo exclaimed, exasperated.
How could killing someone be right?
”Lord Huo, I know that what I'm going to day will not be to your liking, but, I will tell you everything.”
After a momentary pause, Bai Long confessed ”I did not take just her life. I summoned more than one soul from there to this world.”
