Chapter 507: 507: Lost Control
Somewhere in the Snow Clan’s Territory...
Xue Renxue had just chased after Tan Bingyu who ran out of the receiving hall in anger. They ended up going to an empty courtyard in which Tan Bingyu was finally grabbed by Xue Renxue.
"Bing’er, please listen to me. I didn’t intend to hide it from you. I was... I was afraid of making you sad again," said Xue Renxue, almost pleading towards her to listen to his words.
Tan Bingyu was just angered further by his words and said, "Making me sad? Do you want me to cry, why are you hugging you dying instead? Didn’t I already tell you many times that my mistress can help us? I’ve also asked you multiple times if you are feeling alright."
"What do you think would have happened if my Mistress didn’t come to the north to find me? I will go out on a journey with you and you will suffer on the way without me knowing. Only when it’s already too late will I learn about your situation?"
"A’Ren, you’ve never trusted me about anything. I am suppose your Dao Companion. Someone who will be accompanying you all throughout our lives. Do I only deserve to be happy? Why can’t you be happy with me?"
"I feel like a fool. Just when you told me you are going with me to find my mistress. I thought I could spend more time with you. Much longer than I expected. How about you? Are you only willing to stay with me until your body collapses?"
Xue Renxue said, "Bing’er, I’m sorry. However, all I want is to be a part of your life. I’ve long known that when I lived as Guan Meiren, that my time in this world was limited. That’s why the world has allowed me to experience what it is like to be healthy even for a moment."
"Bing’er, it’s not that I don’t want to be with you for a long time. Instead, it’s because I am destined to live a short life. I have seen all kinds of doctors, even witch doctors as well as diviners, when I was young. All they said is that I can’t live past 30. That’s why before I reached that age, I froze my body with the intention of stopping my own time from passing."
"Living as Guan Meiren is an incident. Albeit a happy one. After all, I was able to meet you. But... I don’t think I can hold it anymore."
Xue Renxue’s words gaze at Tan Bingyu with a bad feeling. As expected, when she turned around see blood strolling down at the corner of Xue Renxue’s lips and frost started to gather around him slowly covering half of his face and half of his body with ice.
"Xue’er, stay away. My aura is going out of control!" He pushed Tan Bingyu away and was almost instantly covered by ice created by his own power.
However, before he fainted, Xue Renxue saw Tan Bingyu’s hair turning white and taking over the control of his berserk aura. Because of her interference, the ice didn’t completely cover his body and only half was covered in frost. Tan Bingyu caught him before he fell, ignoring the frost from him that was affecting her.
She carried him away while mumbling, "I will not let you die."
Tan Bingyu hurriedly carried Xue Renxue to the receiving hall where Yue Xuexia is in. Before they entered the room, Yue Xuexia had immediately protected the others while Shen Jueyang prevented the area where they were to be covered in ice. Two Nine Yin Meridian Physique merging, it won’t be surprising to turn a whole house into an ice covered house.
Seeing the barrier around them, Tan Shenyu couldn’t help but ask, "Mistress, Master, what is going on?"
"Stay in the barrier unless you want to become a human popsicle and melt into a pool of blood next," said Shen Jueyang.
Everyone didn’t understand anything at first but when they saw Tan Bingyu carrying a frost covered Xue Renxue on her shoulder, they immediately knew something had happened.
"BING’ER!?"
"Mistress, please save him... His aura is out of control!!" Tan Bingyu shouted with urgency.
Yue Xuexia brought out her golden dragon acupuncture needles and covered them with her natal flame, a white flame called Ice flame. A fire that is as cold as ice unaffected by ice elements and had the effect of a real flame, a burning yet cold fire.
Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh!
Countless needles covered in white flame flew towards Xue Renxue. The first needles stabilize his soul temporarily in his body. The second needle protected his heart and the third needle sealed off his physique forcibly. Only then the berserking ice aura in the area slowly fades. Tan Bingyu was also able to completely take over the control over ice and the frost that accompanied them on the way slowly melted.
Tan Bingyu was very happy to see Xue Renxue’s state and her tears were threatening to fall yet with a smile on her face.
The Moon Goddess said, "Don’t be happy yet. I’ve only stabilized his state for a moment. It would return to before if he isn’t treated."
"Someone! Tell the Snow Clan to prepare me a room where I can treat this man!"
The Hidden Tan Clan left the hall to find and inform the people of the Snow Clan. Upon hearing the situation, the Supreme Elder used her authority in the clan and immediately secured a treatment room for her son.
—
The Snow Clan had made their actions well done and fast. The Moon Goddess didn’t need to wait long for the patient to be gathered and categorized to those who were in a fatal state to a mild one who could wait. Of course, the first one to be dragged into her clinic was Xue Renxue.
Xue Renxue was placed on the bed while trembling unconsciously even though he had long fainted. Yue Xuexia was observing his body closely and thinking how to treat the patient in front of her. Her Sacred Healing Skill will be useless as this is not an illness but just a special physique going out of control. The problem is his soul.
Shen Jueyang asked, "Can you treat him like you treated your subordinate before? I can lend you my flames."
"His state is the same yet different. The problem is his soul. Unless his souls merged and stabilized within the body his physique will always be out of control," said Yue Xuexia.
While those who were watching from the side were nervous, especially Tan Bingyu and the Supreme Elder. They’ve heard the conversation between the Moon Goddess and the Sun God.
The Supreme Elder spoke, "Problem with his soul? Is it because his soul left his body and lived as someone else for years that’s why his body is rejecting him?"
"No. According to the Moon Empress, the problem is because he had split his soul and it’s been separated for more than ten years. Because of that, the merging of souls will be a bit harder and it’s causing his special physique to go berserk," Tan Huangyu told the Supreme Elder what the Moon Goddess had told them before.
The Grand Elder, who is also the dao companion of the supreme elder frowned and asked, "So as long as his soul stabilizes in his body Ren’er can be treated?"
"Husband, what are you planning to do?!"
The Supreme Elder suddenly panicked when she heard her husband speak about souls. She knew that her husband must have a way but this will put him in danger. After all, his background is much more mysterious than others had thought.
"Wife, I have been so regretful not being able to help our son since he was born. As long as he can live, I can bear the burden," the Grand Elder said.
He suddenly made a gesture with his fingers and the supreme elder tried to stop him.
The Supreme Elder said, "N-No... Stop!"
Ancient runes appeared on his skin and a token came out of his body. This token had a character of ’soul’ written on it and its main effect is to conceal and restrain. It seems to have a connection to him. However, the grand elder didn’t hesitate to cut off the connection with the token and puke blood. This token seems to be tied with the soul of the grand elder.
Pukes~
The grand elder threw the token towards the Moon Goddess but was caught by Shen Jueyang instead. His crimson-gold eyes narrowed for a moment when he saw the token. Obviously, he knew what it was.
’The Soul Hall?’ Thoughts of Shen Jueyang while staring at the token.
The Grand Elder supported by the supreme elder said, "Please make my son contract with it. It would help his soul be restrained in his body and help him stabilize his soul slowly."
"Xue’er, he is telling the truth," Shen Jueyang said.
Yue Xuexia noticed the reaction of Shen Jueyang upon seeing the token and acted as if she didn’t notice.
She said, "Alright. He had fainted. You do it."
