Chapter 542: The Void I (2/2)

When they looked at each other again, Ling-Cho wiped Chun's tears away, ”You look like a mess, my dear, yet you are still as beautiful, than before. Even more so than what my memory can recall.”

”You jest, my form is as ugly as could be. My body is already losing its substance, its fragility already showing…” Chun argued.

Ling-Cho shook his head, ”I am incapable of lying, my dear, I speak nothing but the truth.”

Her body was bits and pieces, only parts of her remain, but Ling-Cho could hardly care. He does not lie, he is incapable to utter such a thing, and as such, every word he speaks of about Chun was genuine, from the deepest parts of his heart.

Chun laughed ever so gently as she bobbed her head upside down. ”Why did you take so long to appear?”

”Wang Ling… I forcefully took over his body—”

And when those words were uttered, nine white fox tails threatened to skewer Ling-Cho. Bai Xue glared at him, ”What did you do to Wang Ling?” her tone was filled to the brim with dread.”

Ling-Cho looked at Bai Xue's glare, her worry and anxiety still clear, he smiled, ”Do not worry, Wang Ling is all right. It was just that I had little time left that I was forced to do this.”

”Explain.” Bai Xue gave him a chance.

”My successor and I had a promise back in the Void. I asked him to tell you to return. When he awakened in this world, through your presence I slipped out of the void seeking you, due to my obsession. Finally, I saw you, and now, you are about to disappear. You can survive if you go to the Void, but with what little qi you have remaining, you won't be able to do it. Bai Xue, cannot do it because she does not know of the detail in opening a path to the void. As for Wang Ling, he cannot open the path to the Void if he is unconscious, thus, I took over his body. Bai Xue, I apologize for taking control of your husband, but, this was the only way I can save Chun.” Ling Cho explained.

Bai Xue held her tail up for a few more seconds, and eventually backed away, ”Fine, but, do it quickly. Also, he's not my husband… wait, he basically is, right? Marriage is a promise to the Heavens, but we are the Heaven, Hell, and Earth, so that's just a promise to the two of us and we already did that before, then… hmmm, I never really placed a title on us, so please don't assume something while in his form. We haven't talked this situation through.” She began rambling on.

Ling-Cho, however, now gave her a grave look. Noticing this, Bai Xue raised a brow, ”What is it?”

”I can open the Void now, and return to my final resting place with Chun. But, I have to ask you something, Bai Xue… do you know the truth about the Origin General or the one you call the Emperor of Death?”

”Other than he's your first creation, killed you, Wang Ling, and is threatening the Universe because of his warped views in obtaining peace in your name? No, I don't.”

”Then… what about the War in the Celestial Spirit Realm? And his ultimate Goal?”

Bai Xue raised her brows, ”No… I couldn't inherit most of Chun's memories so, I don't really know much other than what you left in the Celestial Spirit World.”

”I see, then, you must know the truth…” Ling-Cho took a deep breath, preparing himself mentally, ”The Origin General, is mine and Chun's firstborn son.”
