Chapter 188 - Lost Inquiry (1/2)

The Emperor raised an eyebrow and then chuckled. This conversation was amusing. Then he knit his brows as he suddenly remembered something important he needed to discuss with the Voice.

{... I have something to ask...I'm curious...The incident of my mother strangling Xing er', I saw it from my study...It was as a vision or something, quite odd...You've never done anything like that before...But then this time, when she was in danger, why didn't I see anything and she almost -...}

The Emperor frowned and fisted his hands in anger at the thought.

{...She could have died...}

{...*Well, she was fine in the end, wasn't she? So nothing to worry about there - з - )...}

The Emperor could hear the pouting in the Voice's tone, and he was slightly annoyed that the Voice did not seem to be taking the situation seriously.

{...I'm being serious, she could have easily been killed, you should ha-...}

{...*Okay, got it! But it's not my fault! >_

The Emperor blinked in confusion and then frowned.

{...It wasn't you?...}

{...*It wasn't!...As for why it didn't work this time...Hmm, maybe it didn't work because she wasn't actually dying? I'm honestly not really sure how it works. You see, the situation is a bit special... But that should be it! I figured it out! You're very welcome! ^_^)...}

{...So you don't know what it is?...}

{...*Oh, I know...}

{...Then tell me, what it is? And how does it works so I can -...}

{...*You should know better than I do...}

The Emperor frowned.

{...I don't. If I did, I wouldn't be asking -_-)'...}

{...*Hehe~ Oh yes, that's true. I forgot...Well then, you'll know...eventually, later...As for how it works, I told you what I know...But as I said, this situation is a bit special...}

{...Special?...}

{...*You don't feel it?... Hm, well, if you don't then you don't...}

The Emperor's frown deepened. Of course, he felt she was special to him. He had never felt as peaceful...

{...There's more to it than peace, isn't there? I can't describe it but -...I'm in love with her...deeply so I believe. But that's different from - I don't believe everyone sees visions of the person they love in danger, correct?... And if it's not your doing, then what is this?..I'm glad to have her but...I would like some answers...}

{...*Hehehe~ How adorable...Answers...Since today is a great day, Okay! I shall enlighten you. Soooo...It's like this, hmm...So she's like a - it's like a reflection, no, no, if anything you're the reflection...No, no, no that doesn't work either...A shadow? No, you're obviously two different people so that won't work either...Yin and Yang! Yes, exactly that! So you two are the two halves of the same whole, No, it's actually four parts. Oh, that's actually perfect! I am quite brilliant hehehe~...}

The Emperor's mind froze for a bit, baffled and utterly confused.

{...Four parts?...}

{...*Yes, because you know the Yin and Yang spirits actually have four components to them...You, know, like the symbol...The two white and black bodies and then the little white and black spots on their heads, so four parts all make one! It's the mixture of the four that makes the harmony ^_^)...}

The Emperor was still confused but he was trying to follow the conversation, as weird as it was becoming.

{...Ookay, so four make one...But what does that have to do with Xing er' and I?...}

{...*O_O)...It does...doesn't it? It does!...}

{...Bu-...}
