Chapter 120 Sold To The Government

"That would be a horrible scenario," Seth said with a flick of his tongue, shaking his head in pity at how unfortunate one would need to be to have such a fate befall them.

"Yes and it's not some naturally occurring phenomenon," Alexia said and then pointedly looked and Seth, her questioning gaze more than enough of a hint of what she asking but Seth decided to ignore it as he began admiring the ceiling.

"Your soul was still very formidable when I took you out of the underworld, so your soul could have only gotten this damaged when you saved my soul" Alexia whispered with her head bent down.

"Mopping over the things that happened in the past won't solve our current problems, so tell me, baby, how do I solve my current problem, how do I breakthrough to the next level," Seth said, trying to cheer Alexia up and truly figure out a solution, but her reply to his words had him stunned,

"I don't know," she said.

"Huh what do you mean", Seth asked," shouldn't you have some super advanced knowledge on how to solve such a problem," he asked.

"There are several ways, but none of them can be carried out here on earth, cultivations problems dealing with the soul are very delicate and complex to fix, and given earth's infancy in cultivation, a solution cannot be found here." Alexia explained, "I am sorry that am so useless" she finished at the end with tears already trickling down her eyes.

When Alexia had spoken about his soul's inadequacy, Seth had been a little surprised but had accepted the situation, already figuring out that this was one of the consequences the entity had warned him about when he retrieved Alexia's soul.

"Come on Alexia, stop crying" Seth cajoled as he placed his hands on her head and began wiping off her tears, well the illusionary tears that is.

"You idiot Alexia said all of a sudden, her words stunning Seth as she had never spoken ill of him even once.

"Ehhh Alexia, are you all right" Seth tried asking really concerned after hearing her words, but she instead pushed herself off him and stood up.

"you idiot, idiot, idiot" she roared out looking at Seth with frustration, you knew this was going to happen and yet you foolishly went ahead and revived me" she screamed at the innocent Seth.

"Just like you made your decision to give up your life, I also have the right to make my own decision Alexia, so like I said stop laying accusations and accept what has happened" Seth calmly told her.

"ha, ha, ha" Alexia laughed when she heard Seth's words" you don't understand, you don't understand what I saw during your breakthrough, while you basked in the success of your breakthroughs and flexed your power, you have your idea what I saw in here" Alexia screamed out, more tears pouring down her eyes and her body shivering.

"What did you see" Seth solemnly asked, realizing that this problem of his might not be the minor obstacle he taking it to be.

"I saw, no, not saw, I felt a presence, Seth, I don't know what deal you made for my soul, but your soul is no longer just yours, there was someone else here," Alexia said the wall of the house which surrounded them crumbling away to reveal the black sun up above while Alexia turned around, seeming to search for something in fear before collapsing to her knees in tears.

"Alexia" Seth called out, appearing beside her and hugging her weeping form, "don't worry I won't let anything happen to you, whatever is in here won't harm you," Seth said, struggling to imagine what could be residing in his soul to cause Alexia such fear,

"Could it be the entity within me" Seth wondered.

"you idiot," Alexia said for the 4th time, "am not scared of anything, am worried for you," she said," You seem to be in danger and I don't want anything happening to you". she sobbed.

...…....

"How many hours," Seth thought as he opened to eyes to darkness only diluted by the humble light of the half-moon shining outside.

Slowly he tried moving his neck sideways, and then clenching and unclenching his fists and muscles, feeling relief when everything worked just fine.

Putting in some effort, he pushed himself up and then observed the huge room he was now in.

"That's nice" Seth offhandedly thought as he ran through the fluffy blanket that covered him.

He stared at the room in a daze as memories of his meeting with Alexia came popping up, the woman seemed to be really spooked by the current problems plaguing his soul.

"Did the entity sell me out" Seth wondered, 'cause if Alexia's fear was anything to go by, then it would seem he had gotten the end of the stick in whatever deal had enabled him to save Alexia's soul?

"Man, me alone having so many problems,  my soul seems to be becoming a guesthouse," Seth thought as he swung himself to the side and then got off the bed.

"Ahhhhhh" Seth groaned out in satisfaction as he stretched his body, various popping sounds out but there wasn't a hint of pain, signifying his recovery.

"Man, am hungry" were the first words to leave Seth's mouth as he used the little light offered to him by the moon to navigate his way to the door, there was no need to starve himself over his worries.

Arriving at the door, Seth pushed it open without pause, though he was forced to halt in his tracks and blink his eyes several times due to assault from bright light on his vision.

Seth's adjusted eyes stared at the huge chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and then moved to the well-lit hallway in front of him, his feet immediately beginning to transverse them as he went in search of a meal.

A few steps into the long and wide hallway and Seth heard the sound of footsteps rushing towards him, not having to wonder as a young woman dressed in a maid outfit quickly came walking towards him, deeply bowing when she was beside him.

"I apologize for my lateness sir, hope I didn't cause you any trouble, "the woman said.

"No worries, but who are you and where am I," Seth asked.

"I am the maid assigned to take care of you, and you're currently in the presidential palace" she replied.

"Ahhh so that woman did sell me to the government," Seth mumbled, but as he could feel his qi properly flowing through his body, he wasn't worried much.
