Chapter 145 - Soul Binding Five Beasts

"Wow… so one God… made all five of you fall in love? Amazing…"

Noticing the abrupt silence… Yun Long just coughed.

'Eh… that was a little insensitive even by my standards, but one cannot disagree with me that this Spirit God could have challenged anyone that dared declare themselves the Harem God…'

How ironic his thoughts were…

"Cough… sorry about that, but what I fail to understand is that, going by your logic… should you not want to kill me on sight? I will be the one inheriting your big brother's legacy…" Yun Long asked as he secretly was prepared to just flee into the Immortal Realm.

"Hmph… this God indeed wanted to kill you until you mentioned the details regarding his death and his daughter…" said the Primordial White Tiger as she snorted.

"Hmm… it is as she said… I never truly hated big brother until he attempted to harm our daughters… but I similarly understand how he is feeling" explained the Primordial Vermillion Bird as her eyes flickered.

The Primordial Black Tortoise just sighed as she said "It is just against my nature to bring myself to feel something negative for another existence… but when I heard big brother had a daughter, I felt happy for him… happy for our family… my only hope… never mind…"

"You two, you can come out already" she said whilst looking behind Yun Long.

In his vision two more sets of eyes, one amethyst like the gems on the head of the spider girl, whilst the other pair were a blend of red and orange.

"Master… is it finally time?" the amethyst-eyed Beast God questioned with happiness filling her words.

"Un… Yun Long, stand in the centre of our daughters" the Primordial Black Tortoise instructed.

"Before we start, how exactly do you plan to do this?" Yun Long asked since he still has not stated his condition.

"Hmm… using the flames I sacrificed so that they could remain in stasis and that have been sustaining them, we will use the remaining of our power to attach their souls onto yours, after that their recovery depends on you, as we cannot remain here anymore…" the Primordial Vermillion Bird said solemnly.

"Mn… I understand, I actually have a technique where I can link the life force between people, so, going back to the condition I set…" Yun Long said as he paused.

"I wish for you to attach your remaining will within the consciousness of your daughters, as I would much rather you be there for them even as a last minute defence than to waste the power you currently have to do something I can easily accomplish, however for you to choose this method relies on whether or not you believe that I can accomplish what I say I will do" he continued as he wanted them to have full faith in his abilities,

As he spoke Yun Long lifted his jumper as he pointed at the Circular Seal of the Yin Yang Dragon Mark.

The Primordial Black Tortoise didn't respond for a few minutes before she questioned him for safety purposes.

"Does the method you currently possess have a guarantee of succeeding? I will not take any chances when it comes to the lives of our daughters, you should understand my concerns child…" she just replied in a weak voice.

"Hmm… my technique relies on the feelings that the female has for me… in this specific case they need to have a budding love or a feeling of love and then I could say that I can guarantee their lives…" Yun Long explained whilst slightly blushing.

*Growl*

"You dare set your eyes on my daughter boy!" the Primordial White Tiger was about to slap Yun Long silly until she was interrupted.

"Quite down… silly cat, out of all the men that exist out there, if we looked at it just from the details, we see at first glance… is there any other who is worthy of being their husband? His eyes also remind me of our husbands…" the Primordial Vermillion Bird said as she sighed.

At the mention of their 'husband', the Primordial White Tiger just became quiet as her previous rant was thrown in the trash.

"Even though this Young Master is the most eligible bachelor in the Nine Heavens… I doubt I can make someone fall in love with me when they do not even know of my existence" Yun Long boasted as his ego caused even the Primordial White Tiger to pause.

'Unless they saw a picture of me… hmm, no, that is still being aware of my existence' he continued to nod as if he had just received enlightenment.

"So, unless you can wake them up, we might as well follow your plan… although I would prefer attempting my method instead." Yun Long explained begrudgingly, after all this one condition talk, he could not even get his one condition, was this not him just slapping his own face?

"It seems fortune follows you boy… if it just awakening their consciousness for a few minutes that is possible, but convincing them to fall in love when they bȧrėly know the concept is a task for you to handle" the Primordial Black Tortoise explained gently.

"Grrr… I shall be watching your attempt closely boy…" the Primordial White Tiger laughed imagining all the scenes of Yun Long ending up being embarrassed by her little girl.

"Oya… old house cat… you are actually paying attention to something other than slaughter?" the Primordial Vermillion Bird laughed lightly whilst she was happy that she could accompany her daughter in the future.

But any chance of a retort from the Primordial White Tiger was eliminated when Yun Long sudden slapped his forehead.

"Hang on a second… you said that the father of all these girls… your husband, was a Spirit God?" Yun Long questioned the five excitedly.

"Yes, what relation does that have child?" the Primordial Black Tortoise asked with a little hope in her voice.

"Mn… it has great relation… since that means that the children from the two should be half Spirit and half Divine Beast? Or is my ȧssumption just totally incorrect? For example, the superior race is the one that becomes the future bloodlines?" Yun Long questioned hopefully.

"The birth between a beast and a humanoid is always difficult, however you can say that our daughters are half Spirit, half beast… but the way it forms in them differs, for example my daughter is almost human like, whilst the others have many beast characteristics or just one, it varied with every child" the Primordial Black Tortoise explained clearly.

"Hehe, perfect, this is absolutely perfect, now I dare place a bet against anything that I will be able to perform this without any problems!" Yun Long said with a beaming smile on his face.

Without waiting for their response, Yun Long approached the five beast girls once more, as he looked towards the five pairs of eyes.

"The plan is very simple, you start whatever you said you were going to perform, this Young Master will swindle… cough, I will convince the five young ladies to bind themselves to me, and then you just have to keep your promises and attach your remaining power in your daughters so that they will not be saddened by your missing presence… the only thing that keeps them attached in the world of the living will only be me should you disappear… I am sure that is not a scenario you wish to see your daughters in" he said in a unusually serious voice

Yun Long received no answer and ȧssumed they were all in agreement.

He gestured for them to start, as the flames of the Primordial Vermillion Bird danced around the five, before Yun Long sensed a ripple of life aura, as they slowly started to regain consciousness.

The five released grumbles and mȯȧns until they finally opened their eyes, and under the fluttering eyelashes, five magnificent pairs of eyes opened in Yun Long's view.

Red eyes like the setting sun, Amethyst eyes like a blooming violet, Golden eyes that oozed regalness, vermillion eyes that were brimming with life and finally a pair of watery green eyes that embodied nature itself.

'I did once say that the eyes are the window to the soul… but these eyes are just so… beautiful…'

"Are you feeling alright?" Yun Long asked them.

"Mo…ther?" x5

Hearing that call for the first time in billions of years… the three Primordial Divine Beasts and their servant gods could bȧrėly keep their composure as they just went over and explained the situation whilst keeping their emotions in check, since they only had a few minutes left to complete their plan.

Seeing the 5 little girls look at him, Yun Long just flashed a smile as he asked them "I wish to save you and your mothers… but to do so you have to pay a big price… are you willing?"

The five did not speak to him since they found him unworthy, as the daughters of Divine Beasts it was expected to have such a pride.

Yun Long did not mind it since he was technically swindling them.

He just went over and placed his hand forward "Place your hand on mine, I will transmit my knowledge of the technique to you and you can decide whether or not you wish to go forward with it, just know that if you choose to do so your mothers can accompany you, but if not then we can only use their method… whatever choice you make, make the choice your heart urges you to make"
