Chapter 58 - Returns

They stand without moving. He smile and she stare. Hu Li is trying to understand what is going on. She knows that once a human pass away, the body have no chance to remain the same condition. However this man standing in front, is the same genetic makeup. Everything on him is the same as the Sheng Qin she knows. However she still can't understand how did he come back again. For awhile everything stand still till the boy who is lighting up ask them if they are leaving. 

Quietly, they walk. The street are buzzing with life yet this too person is like in a world of their own. They walk till the end of the street where an old house is still standing. The wooden plaque hangs on the top says The house of Yue. Hu Li finds herself standing in front of this place again. She look at the familiar stranger. 

"What do you want?"

"I told you i will find you again. The last life, i can't see your face. This life, i see that you are beautiful as i though you should be."

"Mister, you should go on and live your own human life."

"I am. I am. I am now a new person. I am the grand son of Yue Sheng Wu."

"Then you should let go of the past and live the condition of your life."

"I cannot live a life not knowing when can i meet you."

"Now you meet, me. You can continue to live your human life."

Hu Li wants to walk away but Sheng Luo hold her back. 

"I never forget. Even if i die again. I will come back for you."

Hu Li is try hard to hold her emotion. The sparks in her eyes are warning her not to cry. He reach out and hold her hands. 

"You are my wife."

"I am not. You ..."

He kiss her like how he kiss her in the past. Those emotion stir in her heart. Just then something fly down and stomp the ground. Hei in his feline mode is not happy. He growl to show his teeth. 

"Let her go."

"What..."

"Human, you should go live your life. The last life you had, she already done enough for you."

"I.. I.. I don't know what you are but leave!"

"Hu Li come with me. You know you shouldn't meddle with humans anymore."

"Mister, go on to live your human life. Don't look for trouble."

She take Hei's hands and pull him away. Hei follow Hu Li but he keep turn around and growl at the man standing under the wooden plaque. 

That night, Hu Li sits on the corner of balcony and watch the busy streets. Also she see that Yue Sheng Luo is standing at a corner looking at her. Hu Li walk back into the room and sit down. She pat Yang Yang gently as she is sleeping curl up like a human child. Suddenly the rooftop come crushing down. Hu Li managed to dogged in time. She pull Yang Yang along as they hit the other side of the wall. When she open her eyes, the golden eyes are flashing with bright sparks. In Front of her is a huge snake that is hissing at her. 

Yang Yang panic yet she cannot scream. She look at her master who's eyes have change. She look around the room. Lucky no one is around only two of them. The snake suddenly charge at them. Hu Li pick up Yang Yang and her tails whip the snake with thunder strikes. While she carry Yang Yang out of the room and watch out for the snake. 

From the corner of Hu Li's eyes, the snake morph to a human shape. Hu Li put Yang Yang down and ask her to run to find the rest. The snake have transformed to a woman. Her silver hair is flying wildly in the air. Her tongue is long and silvery. Her skin like snake is slippery and scale like. 

"You have return! You never leave him alone!"

"Who are you?"

"Me? I am his wife! Why have i become like this? all thanks to you!"

She hiss and walk near Hu Li. Her tongue stretch out and attempt to hit Hu Li. Hu Li dodged in time and she see that the tongue had hit the pole have acid burnt on it. 

"You still never tell me who you are!"

"I!! I am !! Princess Ming An!! Did you hear me?! Princess Ming An, wife of Yue Sheng Qin!"

Hu Li now understand, this snake is only after her. At that moment Hei stomp in from nowhere. He growl and stare at the snake. 

"Among all the ugly creatures i have seen, you win them all. The queen of ugliness!"

The snake hiss at him and he growl. His black nails begin to grow longer. His manic laughter starts with red glow in his eyes. Hu Li stand behind Hei with thunder in the dark sky in a distance. 

"Let me ask you this. Why are you here and doing this?!"

"Why? You dare to ask me why? You took my husband! You take all of him and left a shell for me!"

At that moment she strikes again. Hu Li once again manage to doge the acid from her tongue. Hei at that point leap up and aim for her face.
