Lu Zhan still continue to follow Jasmine behind and when she stopped him, he still followed her. Jasmine started doubting the reason why he wanted to be friends with her. What was the absolute reason? And damn, he was following her behind. Was this how friendship is this era?“I will appreciate it if you stop following me,” muttered Jasmine. She was few walks away from her home.“Ok,” said Zhan and he turned awayJasmine got home and met Cheng at the door. She opened it and it was his face she came across.“You are back?” said Jasmine as she rushed to pull Cheng into a tight hug. Though, he didn’t stay long, it felt like forever after what happened.“Who was he?” inquired Cheng“Who was who?” asked Jasmine not understanding what Cheng was inquiring“The one who walked you home?”“Oh, Lu Zhan? I met him yesterday and today he asked me to be his friend,” said Jasmine. ‘Why are you asking?”“I don’t like him,” said Cheng“You don’t have to, I don’t also,” replied Jasmine. “Are you perhap
It has been a week now since Shang has been asleep and hasn’t woken, Cheng had been furious since then, he wasn’t sure of what was happening to Shang. He should be awake by now but he wasn’t and he was responding to whatever treatment Cheng was giving him. Cheng didn’t know what to do again and likewise the ladies.When Cheng got finally fed up, he made up his mind to pay a visit to Guilt“I will go and see Guilt,” he said on a sunny afternoon.“Why?” asked Jasmine. Cheng going to see Guilt could result to another thing“To know what’s happening with Shang. All what’s happening to him is surely from his punisher,” mumbled Cheng“Are you certain? What if it’s just a normal stuff happening to him?” said Nuan“It’s not something normal, when I placed my hands on his, I felt a distant sort of energy, like an energy that seems as if it’s at its lowest. The energy isn’t his because a Demon doesn’t possess such and I think it has to do with Guilt. When I visit her, I will find out more,” sai
Guilt was found unconscious in the sacred place and instantly, Abundant took her into his arms and lead her out with the golden rope trailing behind. Cheng looked at the rope and wondered why it was still with Guilt. He was familiar with rope because he heard of it centuries ago after Shang became a sinner, even though all Demons are sinners. He expected for her to have cut off the rope and pass it on to their new Punisher but it was still with her and surely it was her low energy that was surging in Shang and its certainly isn’t only him.Guilt was immediately transferred to the Heavenly care and Divine healers were all called to check on her. They all said the same thing, Guilt was unconscious for a reason they were unware of. And to know what truly happened to her, Abundant went to pay the HIGHEST ORDERS a visit but he wasn’t granted any permission to see them.He wasn’t sure of why they denied him access of visitation and when he questioned an Angel who possibly knew everything, h
He doesn’t care, he doesn’t care at all.“You could have made use of something else other than endangering the life of Demons even if they can’t die just because it takes a lot of pain, suffering for a Demon to die,” said Cheng in a high tone that shocked Guilt. She hadn’t ever heard Cheng raise his voice that way even though he was a future ruler. He had always been the calm man with a cool personality that didn’t match that of a Demon“You don’t care about me?” asked Guilt“I don’t care about you,” Said Cheng. “Why should I care about you when you are nothing to me? You are nobody to me. You aren’t my fellow Demon, neither are you someone who I care of. You are an Angel who are the enemies of Demons. You are my enemy and the only reason that I have been condoning you since centuries ago was all because you were Shang’s punisher but now, you don’t want to know how happy I am that you aren’t any longer,” said Cheng“That’s enough Cheng,” Abundant said“No, let him talk. I’m sorry that
When the morning came, Nuan was the first to wake up, she met them all asleep on the sofa and laughed a bit. She was grateful for meeting them, her stay with has them has been awesome. Though, she has been through a lot of shit just by staying with them, it didn’t mean she wasn’t grateful. Her back still aches from that throwing even though a week has passed. All she wanted to do was make that Angel pay, because all the books she has come across, they talked about how Angels were good people but Guilt, no way. She wasn’t a good Angel and she even hurt her. When Jasmine wakes up, she will tell her that she wishes to visit the Physician. After then, she will find a good and paying job so as to support the home. But actually, nobody in the home was working but they had cash, plenty of cash. Was it because they were Demons? Even her Lady back then also had lots of cash. She was the only one with debts. Nuan walked to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Jasmine had taught her how to make f
EVENINGIt was time for the date and both the couples were still in their room, staring at their outfits. Jasmine looked at hers and thought, ‘Will he like my dress? Am i looking great in it?’ She kept thinking until she heard a knock on the door. Her heart chest beating in a frantic manner, she was the one who suggested they should go out on a date but now here she is, feeling nervous.“Jasmine? Are you ready?”She heard Cheng say and he knocked again when she didn’t answer. She breathed in and out to calm her nervousness and told herself she could do this. It wasn’t like this was the first time she would be alone with Cheng. She walked to the door, opened it and saw Cheng, looking dashing as always“I was worried when you didn’t answer, are you okay?” asked Cheng like a caring partner that he is“I’m fine, I was just having a flushing out my bowel,” mumbled Jasmine“I hope you are fine?” inquired Cheng“I am. I did that so I could eat different kind of cuisines with you without my t
“Are you kidding me? I’m an Incubus, you don’t know what an Incubus mean right,” said Zhan as he took a seat on the wooden chair and laughed so drylyCheng couldn’t believe that they just came across a Demon. He recognized him as the man he saw with Jasmine the other day and he couldn’t help shudder that Jasmine came across a Demon other than Guilt. He doesn’t even know this Demon but there was a sense of familiarity, there was a mild scent of Incubus An wafting around the man. Was he from An’s side?The duo took their seat and just stared at Zhan. He also looked at Cheng as If he was staring at a lunatic. Who would call anyone an Incubus in this age and time. Fine, he is someone who has popularity among women because of his beauty, but he certainly wasn’t a man whore….. oh, sorry, he is a man whore but there’s a limit to this fornication. He fornicates with class. Don’t be shocked because a whore like him got class.“An Incubus in the human world,” said Cheng. To make the Incubus rev
(MILD MATURE CONTENT AHEAD, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK)In the Human world, the actual world where Jasmine comes from, several years had passed and all Jasmine’s Friends were all done with College and were working. Few were with Family will some were planning to build one or still taking time. The years had been painful for them, especially Andrew who couldn’t forgive himself for what had happened. If only he had picked the call or replied to her message earlier, then their best friend would still be with them.(Narrator: It would have happened still, boy or maybe not?)…..He had been trying his best to find her since he grew up well, he made sure he made it well in life and have the gain the right source so he could find his friend. The police had given up on her cease when they couldn’t find her and her Parents, Lord, they hadn’t been themselves even since, especially her mom. Her mother looked so old and tired, she had been getting in and out of the hospital ever since then, and the fat
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
