"How dare you?"asked Cheng in a thunderous voice. He was damn annoyed when he heard what Shang said. How dare he want to be a man to his Jasmine. His own Jasmine. Jasmine is His and His allow. He is the only one that will take care of her. He is the only one that cater for her needs.She's His only. No one will ever take her away from him."How dare I?" said Shang as he scoffed. "You will die soon and I will be the one to care for Jasmine and will be her Man."Shang himself knew that he was courting death,but the only way to make Cheng get on his feet and heal himself was by involving Jasmine. Telling him that after he dies,he will be her Man.He was staring at his Master slash Bestie who was breathing out flame in anger as he cornered him against the wall. Something torturous was bound to happen at this moment. If Cheng doesn't kill him today then it means the Lord Almighty saved him. He might be a Demon but he knows only the Lord Almighty can save him from his fellow Demon as the Lo
Shang looked at Cheng as if he was a foreign being. How in the name of hell could he suggest they find Saraqael? That Angel of all people?one who it's hard to know whether she was supporting the Demons or Angels.*Scoffs*, "And why should we find her Cheng?do you think she will help you?"asked Shang."We won't know if we don't try",spoke Cheng. "All we have to do is just offer her something in return."The search to find Saraqael began after Shang left Cheng to go home. He informed Jasmine during early dawn that he was embarking on a short journey. Jasmine,though didn't believe him,she had no choice. One thing Shang just doesn't know is that, Saraqael was near.When the sun rose,Jasmine took her bath,had breakfast and then set out. Shang had handed her the pouch of money for her to use. She had plans for the day and all she decided to do was to enjoy. And also,she prayed that she could meet Nuan.When she got to the village square,the day hadn't began fully as people where just shadin
"I ran into Jasmine",said Shang as he arrived at Cheng's new hideout.The hut they were in was totally destroyed by them earlier during their duet and they also found some traces of magic. They knew it was someone's home,and whoever it was,was powerful,so they left. Not to inconvenient others and not to expose themselves. They just didn't cover their traces in the air."How is she?"questioned Cheng weakly."You've been asking that question since forever. Your girl is fine",replied Shang as he sat on the chair,with some wild leaves in his hands. They placed them into the mortar and started to pound them with a pestle."I found some leaves that might prolong your lifetime for some days and-""Shut the hell up",said Cheng as he interrupted Shang's speech. "Prolong my lifetime for some days? I am not dieing soon and not at all. Help me find Saraqael.""Let's summon her",said Shang as he kept pounding."What?I can't do that. I can feel my magic in my body anymore. It's like the are all gon
"The poison has done a great damage to you," said Saraqael as she placed her hand in Cheng's. "Pull his garment. Head to toe"After Cheng was stripped off his attire,Saraqael asked for him to be placed on his stomach. The dark lines that had formed on this body were bulging. Very bulging as if they were going to explode. Bringing out needles and placing them beside Cheng,she then asked for a lit candle. Picking one of the needles,she took hold of the candle and placed it beneath the needle,heating it up and piercing it into Cheng's body. She did the same over and over which made Cheng groan in pain."Pass me the small pouch that's in my bag",said Saraqael to Shang who complied instantly.In the pouch was a powdered substance that she made with dried woods,leaves,alum. She then asked for a glass of water and then mixed the substance into it. She got away from Cheng's side and placed the cup on the table,then started some wordings. It would have been easy for them if she had the lower o
When Jasmine left the place Shang had disappeared from,she went with Nuan to a place where food was sold. They ate and had fun even though Jasmine wasn't in the mood to do any. She just didn't want to disappoint her new friend.After everything, mboth bidded each other a bye,as it was getting dark already. Jasmine walked home and soon,it started to rain. She rushed home in speed and when she got home,she dried herself,lit up the lanterns and the woods to heat up the cold house.She was all alone in the house. Feeling lonely. Where was her Cheng and where was Shang? What was going to become of her if they weren't going to come back? How was she even going to go back to the Modern era or even her own world?She heaved a sigh and went to her room to sleep. It had been a long day for her with all the thinking she had done.At midnight,Shang got into the house and sighed. He was grateful that Jasmine had gone to sleep and wouldn't bombard him with questions that he won't be able to answer.
In a far away village,a couple walked hand in hand at the dead of the night. Smiling,talking,laughing and enjoying each other's company. They stopped at a house,looked at each other's faces before giving a chilling smile. They both walked through the locked door of the house and appeared in the dark home."You should take her soul",said the Lady. "It's her time to die already."After collecting the soul of the woman who was sleeping on the bed,they sent her soul away,to walk through wherever her direction was - hell or heaven.When they both left,they still held hands and communicated,their work for the night was done and it was time for them both to enjoy each others body in a sensual way.When the morning came,the household where they visited last were all in tears as they looked at their dead mother who died in her sleep. The death reapers had visited her late at night and had taken her soul.=======When Cheng woke up,he saw that he was all alone on the couch and it was morning al
When Cheng, Shang and Jasmine left Saraqael's abode, they decided to visit the theatre.On reaching there, they chose the film they were going to watch and went to find their seats. When the movie began, it was a live show, and Jasmine was dumbfounded. Yeah, those that acts movies that were shown on TV, they played it this same way but it was kinda awkward watching them like this without a big screen. Ah!The show was about a pretty flower that bloomed in the garden beautifully. Everyone wanted to get hold of the flower, but it was highly impossible. Only the god of war was able to get his hands on the flower but before he was able to, he fought, conquered thousands of people.The beautiful flower was Xin. The girl everyone wanted to have, she was a gentle,calm Lady that would give in to what anyone says. She wasn't ever against those that wanted to get hold of her cause she wasn't in the position to. When the god of war got his hands on her, she felt that spark. She didn't want to ev
Cheng and Jasmine both had a scowl on their faces. The hell could Shang disturb their make out. They both looked at each other and smiled. Jasmine turned her face away shyly and bit onto her bottom lip. She, the queen of flirtation was getting shy, oh geez.“I DESIRE YOU, jasmine. I hope you too feel the same for me. I’ve never desired someone the way I do for you, all my life, I’ve never thought someone could make me feel this way. All I want from you this moment is for you to tell me what you feel. You mightn’t want to be with me because I’m a Demon but …..”“stop” he was cut short by Jasmine. “you being a Demon has nothing to do with me loving you or not. It’s my choice if I like you or not. But you see, me being here has always been because of you. It started with me having the fantasy of meeting you. Wanting you, wanting to be your comforter after you got heartbroken” spoke Jasmine.“What? I got heartbroken? Who dares breaks the heart of a Demon?” said Cheng. He didn’t understand
Nuan continued to listen to the women’s confession until she got tired and decided to call it a day, she left there and headed for home even when she was sure that nobody will be back yet. She got home, laid on the sofa and decided to take a nap. She slept like a baby that she didn’t notice when Shang arrived from the library. He was holding a book which he had borrowed from the library to read at home at his leisure period. He had met Nuan sleeping on the sofa without a care in the world, to be honest, this was the first time he was seeing her sleep. She looked calm as always… of only he knew how she had put those wealthy young ladies in their place, then he wouldn’t say she was calm. Before he came home, he had enjoyed his time at the library, reading and reading books with different genre. It had been a long time since he last read lot of books, he felt refreshed. The library at the nearest town was fashionable with tons of books there, so many book that it did take eternity for
“Why are you looking at me like that?” asked Shang when he saw Nuan staring at him so intensely. He could easily read her mind if he were to be in hell but he just can’t here in the human world. He was having difficulty in accessing his powers well and he didn’t know why. He could clearly use his powers when they first got here and when he stopped using it because they wanted to not be tracked by the Demons hell, he hadn’t been able to make use of it.“Nothing,” said Nuan. She wanted to hit her head on the wall for thinking of Shang this way, thank goodness there wasn’t any sign of him been able to read minds“Alright, what should both of us do by the way?” inquired ShangHm?”“Should we do anything? I’m planning on visiting the library at the other town. I heard about it from the cobbler down the road, he told me how big and fashionable it is. And I want to go see it with my eyes,” uttered Shang“You are a fan of books,” mumbled Nuan with a smile“I am. I’ve literally read all the bo
Cheng looked at her admiring the colorful threaded bracelet, she was looking so pretty in his eyes that he couldn’t take his eyes off her. Though, she always look pretty but right now, he didn’t understand why she was looking more beautiful.He had told her he had lots of things for her but to be sincere, this was the only thing he had in possession to gift to her. He started racking his head, trying to think of what else he could give to her, maybe he should communicate with Shang and ask him for ideas. Shang could know little things like things as he was always interested in petty little things.Cheng communicated with Shang through mind thinking and to his amusement, Shang was clueless as him. Was all the books about romance Shang read all for waste? Did all his knowledge about relationship gone?‘Thing of something, Shang?’ said Cheng to Shang through the mind‘I have no idea, milord,’ spoke Shang before laughing and blocking the mind link‘Shit!’ exclaimed Cheng in his mind. He d
Cheng held Jasmine in his arms as they talked about random stuffs, it was peaceful, calming, relaxing as they both sat on the couch in the living room with the burning candle as the source of light. They both didn’t go to sleep after Zhan left but instead, they sat at the sitting room chatting.“Do you know what?” mumbled Cheng“What?” inquired Jasmine with a smile. Though, she was tired from their outing earlier, she didn’t feel it after seeing her Cheng.“I Love You,” said Cheng as he gave her a peck on her forehead“Aww, so cheesy,” said Jasmine as she laughed“You should say it back,” uttered Cheng“No, I won’t,” mumbled Jasmine with a smirk“Why wouldn’t you, say it back I want to hear,” muttered Cheng as he flipped his finger on Jasmine’s forehead“Ouch, it hurts,” said Jasmine as she glared at Cheng. “I still wouldn’t say it.”“Then, I wouldn’t give you what I bought,” mumbled Cheng teasingly.“What did you buy, my baby?” asked Jasmine as looked at him, making a puppy eyes“Som
After Nuan was done crying, she sniffed and laughed silently, she turned to Jasmine and muttered, “I’m sorry. You were supposed to be having fun and not listening to me talk about me deceased family.”“It’s nothing. If you want to talk, just know that I’m here for you,” uttered Jasmine before pulling Nuan up to her feet. “Let’s brighten your mood,” said Jasmine and dragged Nuan away“Is there any funfair here,” asked Jasmine“Fun fair? There’s one at Ying town, shall we go there?” asked Nuan“Yup, let’s go,” mumbled Jasmine as Nuan lead them there.When they got to Ying town, they headed to the fair and they weren’t surprised to see crowd. Children filled their and were all enjoying themselves, laughter, scream filled everywhere“Let’s enjoy!” screamed JasmineWhen the evening came, the duo decided to head for home but first, they didn’t to eat. They went to a shop and at to eat pork slices with mashed garlic and chili paste. The boiled pork belly is cut into thin slices with a large
Jasmine and Nuan both left the house after Cheng and Shang, they decided to go enjoy themselves, though, to them, it seems they had seen everywhere in the town and didn’t know where else to go but that still didn’t stop them from enjoying and having fun.Jasmine took Nuan to the River of light and she was fascinated by it. She might have been living at the town since a long time and has heard of the River, but she hasn’t reached there yet and there wasn’t a reason why she hasn’t. When they got there, the place was surrounded by people as always and they joined the crowd.“It’s beautiful?” mumbled Nuan“It is.”“Maybe I should bring Shang here, he is going to like it,” uttered Nuan to which Jasmine looked at her an gave a silly smile“Why are you looking at me that way?” inquired Nuan“Nothing,” said Jasmine with that same silly smile.“It isn’t nothing. I can see the smile on your face and it says a lot,” said Nuan“That’s to you, I can see nothing on my face,” replied Jasmine as she
Back to Jasmine’s transmigrated world, Shang and Nuan sat across each other and stared at busy Cheng and Jasmine. The couple were making fried chicken. Jasmine was the one making it and was teaching Cheng, who had no idea of how to make it.“Cheng has been smiling and happy since he met Jasmine,” said Shang. He was grateful to Jasmine for coming into their live“It’s love, have you been in love before?” asked Nuan“Yes,” said Shang and h heaved a sigh“Who’s she? Where’s she?” asked Nuan with a smile on her face“I don’t want to talk about it,” muttered Shang as he looked the other way, trying not to remember the past“OK, I’m sorry,” mumbled NuanSome hours later, Jasmine and Cheng were both done and they served the food, they all enjoyed it. They sat at the parlor to relax and they talked with smile on their faces“Cheng, did you know about souls being taken by force?” asked Shang“What? I don’t know about that,” replied Cheng“You don’t? Wasn’t it discussed at the time you visited
“If she was killed then by who and why?” asked Florida“I don’t know,” said Drew. Who could possibly had killed Rose. She was someone who didn’t have friends and dedicated her life into working for him. She had been the quiet type but was only wild in front of him. Or maybe she was killed to warn him? But he himself didn’t have an enemy. He had always kept low key all his life and the same could be said for Rose“The note, the note,” said Rida as she laid the note on the table. “A pen and a sheet, quick,” she said to Drew and he went to get them for her“Back at school, we were told some people leaves clue in the least expected places, some usually leave something in notes and if she ever left, then we might find something,” said Florida as she began to read the note‘Hi, Andrew, I’m sorry for what I am about to do to you but I’ve got no choice, you made me do it. Was it so hard for you to love me? I made lot of sacrifices for you but you couldn’t return my love. I know I should have
Andrew and Florida left the office and headed for home, Andrew drove Rida back to her apartment before going to his. When he got home, he was surprised to see his Assistant, Rosemarie at his home.“What are you doing here,” he asked her. His security might have allowed her in because they all knew who she was, his Assistant“Andrew,” called Rose. She got up from the chair and walked towards him. Andrew didn’t react to the way she called him because she was someone he knew of before she became his Assistant.“I know what you both did,” said Rose“What?” questioned Andrew not understanding her at all“You and your friend, Rida, you did it at the office,” said Rose and Andrew glared at her. He threw his bag onto the couch and pulled his suit, throwing it also onto the couch.“So what are you implying, Rose? As a matter of fact, you and I aren’t close enough to be having this kind of conversation,” muttered Andrew“You shouldn’t have done that to me, Drew. Do you know how much I worked an
