"Yes, there is.....We need to rip open space," Lian Hua whispered with a serious look. Creating a rip in space was not an easy task. It has to be done with a combination of many spiritual energies combined together. If a single person has to create a rift, then his whole cultivation might get disrupted. But he did not have the patience to look for anyone else. His little son might be in danger, and for that he would sacrifice his cultivation gladly.

"Step back," he shouted and started revolving his cultivation in his body. His spiritual power separated into mist, covering the entire clearing. It formed into few lotus buds suspended in the sky. They all revolved around and revealed their splendorous green petals.

Yukiya and Long Ki watched this in awe. They had never seen a spiritual energy so power that even converted the very air into their own power.

Long Ki on the other hand frowned, gazing at this. 'This power...isn't it the legendary demon king's final move? How is Ling Hua able to replicate it.....no, it can't be replicated by anyone? Then....." he gasped and dragged Yukiya litter further away. He leaned down and pulled her close, "Yukiya...this man is the legendary Demon King," he whispered.

Yukiya glanced at him and nodded. "I know," she whispered back. She had a calm look on her face, as if she was not faced by this revelation.

"Aren't you scared of him?"

"No, he is the father of Xia I believe he is a good man," she whispered with a small smile.

"What kind of logic is that? Yukiya, he is a dangerous Demon that will kill anyone and everyone and you say you trust him," he whispered shouted. He never expected his lover to answer so calmly without any hint of fear.

"I can hear you both," Lian hua said softly as he made the lotus revolved around a particular spot on the sky.

Long Ki held his lover behind him and summoned his sword. "Are you going to hurt us?"

"no, I have no intentions to hurt the mother of my child," Lian Hua said with a small smile.

"Mo—mother! Of...your child," Long Ki glanced back at Yukiya with his eyes wide open. "is this....true?"

Yukiya panicked. "Ye—yes he is but..."

"So Xia your son...you had before you met me... he is the reason why you ran away from on our marriage day," Long Ki whispered with his head lowered.

Yukiya's heart stopped for a moment. She never expected her secrets to be revealed so early in their relationship. She held his hand, but he pulled away from her. "Ki..I can explain,"

"Explain what? That you had a relationship with this demon to have an illicit child with him that you conveniently hid from me," Long Ki said with rage.

With trembling hands, she reached for his hands again. She held it firmly and gazed deeply into his eyes. "It's a misunderstanding..I mean Xia is my son but,"

Long Ki flung her hands away and stepped back. "I can't believe you did this to me..you...you colluded with the demons to—To bring me down. That is twisted of you Yukiya." He held his chest and stepped away.

His heart...it ached so much that it felt like it was torn to shreds.

'All this—just to hurt me. Why didn't she drive a dagger through my heart, the moment she met me? Why—why did she have to play with my feelings?' he thought. Tears polled in his eyes, but he did not let them shed.

"Ki—Ki listen to me, please. It's not like that. I would never do that to you," Yukiya begged and stepped forward. But he turned around swiftly. "Ki....please look at me....it's not like that. I love you," she hugged him tight. "I Love you," she sobbed loudly. She could feel him struggling, so she held on tight. "Please let me explain,"

Long Ki removed her hands with an impassive face. "There is nothing more to explain. Go to your paramour," he whispered and walked away into the pink forest.

���Please.....don't walk away from me. Ki, please," she shouted, but he never stopped....never haltered in his steps. She knew that her first love was completely shattered. Her legs lost their strength. She knelt down and sobbed. "It's not like that," she whimpered and sobbed.

The ghoul knelt next to her and hugged her tight. "Don't cry, miss. True love will overcome all. If he loves you so, he would always understand to your side of your reasoning," he whispered. He glanced at her heartbroken expression and sighed. 'they both love each other, but why dint they trust each other. One hides secrets while other does trust the other's purpose. ' he thought as he glanced at his receding back of the man.

Lian Hua grimaced and glanced at her. "I—I didn't mean it like that. I thought he knew." He whispered. his heart ached from guilt. "but why did you hide that you adopted Xia as your son?"

"Because Xia is a half demon! My baby....he would be killed the second he knows. Its—it's for the better this way...we won't hurt each other anymore," she whimpered and wiped her tears away. But new tears rolled down uncontrollably. Even if she said this indifferently, her heart.....did not like this situation at all.

Lian Hua sighed. "it is for the better. One royal brat in the family is more than enough," he murmured and concentrated on his formation. The little lotus pods revolved around and around until each of the first petals bloomed.

Yukiya was too busy wiping her tears to analyse his murmur. She stood up and patted her skirt clean, but the pink stains from the grass would not go away.....just like her heart's pain. "I shouldn't have....I never should have indulged in the relationship," she whispered and touched her own hands. The residual warmth of his hands still lingered on her skin. She cupped her eyes and tried to retain this warmth as much as possible. But yet still her hands soon became biting cold.

"It's the end," she whispered with a small tear rolling down her cheek.. As it landed on the grassy floor, it became a small pink pearl.
