"Oh my gosh those green diamond eyes I'm blushing " she thought and finally tried to find her voice then she replied with a warm smile
" Stop flattering me, I'm not your mom" .
Chen yu grinned and clenched his fist
"Thanks for your care. I'm pretty sure you know my intention but don't try to stop me" he said with a sharp voice.
JI AN scuffed and grinned on hearing his words. He felt a little bit annoyed as she laughed
" What's funny ?" He wondered .
Then she looked directly into his eyes with a sharp gaze . She folds her arms gently and stands tall feeling bold and confident this time.
" Hand over that knife and don't act stupid" she said, sounding authoritatively.
" My mom will always scold me, yell at me and at the same time care for me whenever I hurt myself. just like you did" He said calmly as he raised his hands to her face.
Then he touched her hair, packed it backward and fixed it behind her ears to make it look perfect.
She stared at him in disbelief.
" Thanks for the compliment
mommy's boy". Trying to reduce the pitch of her voice
" give me that knife, it's dangerous"
She said and stretched her hand forward, for him to handover the knife to her.
He knew what she meant by that immediately he moved his hand backward to put the knife behind him.
She charged at him to collect the knife.
He jumped up and waved the knife as she wrapped herself around him to collect the knife from him.
"Mom, I'm not a kid anymore. I'm a man now" he replied jokingly and laughed as he hid the knife behind him.
She smiled, his words sounded funny. Leaving her speechless.
" Do you think this is a joke?" she said and moved closer to get the knife from him.
He turned around, bent his head facing the washing base and closed his eyes.
He held the knife tightly to his neck.
Suddenly he moved his hand forward. And He was about to pull it to his neck when he felt someone's hand grabbing his own hand, then he opened his eyes.
" Are you out of your mind?".
she yelled at him "Chen yu stop all this drama, and come back to your senses." She continued holding his hand firmly.
" Let go of me, I'm not outta my mind. I'm just taking the right path." He paused and continued
" Watching this fire, almost burning the kitchen walls down, threatening to kill us, the loud cry and the screams of people getting burnt .
It's sending a cold shiver down my spine and threatening my life. I can't bear it anymore so why don't we end it now." He said and pulled his hand backward to release his hand from her grip.
Ji an watched him looking speechless
"A few minutes from now" he continued pointing at the chefs who were pouring soapy water on the door.
" The fire will break in and what will everyone do?" He asked her but she didn't reply then he answered his own questions.
" They will do the same.
Do you think they will stand and watch the fire burn them? They won't be able to bear the pain. They will commit suicide and I'm pretty sure you will do the same" He replied with an angry voice
" There is still hope for our survival, who knows someone might be out there trying to save us" she protested with a low voice to calm him down.
" No one will save us, probably Ayom might have been dead, if not he would have saved us even before the fire spread round the palace"
Then he paused and shifted his gaze to his hand and faced his palm up.
She fixed her eyes on his palm as a tiny green smoky light came out of it.
" Think about this , we've lost our powers, I can't even summon my spiritual sword anymore and my spiritual pet is nowhere to be found.
Every immortal in this palace lost their spiritual powers.
. .Surely the culprit did his job perfectly. JI AN there's no hope for our survival.". He whispered so that the humans in the kitchen won't
hear what he just said.
" Please chen yu, don't do it.
I can't watch you die in my presence" she said. Her eyes are clouded with tears and she tries to get the knife from him".
Those tears mean a lot to her. Their Regretful ending, Chen Yu's partial wrong decision and her love for him is hidden and unknown to him.
" Will everything really end like this, burning to death is not my fate". Or
commiting suicide isn't my fate either." She taught as crystal tears rolled down her cheeks.
Chen Yu didn't know that she was weeping because of him, he thought she was being selfish. Thinking about herself alone.
Chen Yu taught " Yeah, how will anyone care about you or love you more than you could do to yourself.
Your life is your hundred percent responsibility.
The great mistake in your life is to let someone's body love you more than you love yourself."
After a short silence which felt like eternity. JI AN finally broke the silence.
" This isn't you, Chen Yu. The Chen Yu I know, can't kill a kitchen rat talkless of killing someone" she said, her voice filled with concern and care.
Chen Yu was touched by her words, he faced down feeling guilty he stared at her purple shoe.
He didn't release the knife, instead he did something unbelievable to make JI AN keep her mouth shut. He knew her weakness and how to control her.
He wrapped his hands around her waist and carried her. She gasped in his hands lettin
g out a low scream and opened her mouth widely.
