Bing Shi was okay on the outside at the beginning; her internal issues weren’t something she couldn’t deal with, but as she was getting more tired and his state didn’t make it any easier, her godhood was quickly taking over her body and mind.

The powerful inferno was more than her heart could manage, and she felt like the fire would burn her to ash, “I don’t want to feel anything anymore...don’t make me feel, please. I don’t want to suffer anymore...”

Xuan Mu held her in place. His eyes widened as her words poured inside his head like wet concrete that gradually solidified, “Bi-...Dear?” Her panic and lack of air forced him to start gasping. He breathed as if the oxygen had been sucked from the atmosphere, akin to drowning without an option to swim up.

Xuan Mu was trying to help her. He wanted to take a part of the burden of the suffering she was going through and had to control himself to not to be affected by it. Because the more he got affected negatively, the more she would hurt.

No matter how much time Xuan Mu spent on honing up his strength, around her, he now felt his muscles straining and the thoughts in his head turned from calm to fear, ending in a dizzy confusion. Whenever they were alone, his vulnerable side would take over, and he felt so helpless against it. There was only one person to whom he showed that weak ass state of his. Only her.

Realising that she would kill him if she continued, Bing Shi activated her powers and a thick barrier began to envelop their bodies in an attempt to separate herself from him.

The tattoo on Xuan Mu’s right hand illuminated brilliantly as he quickly suppressed her powers. To become Bing Shi’s prince charming on a white horse forced him to go through a heck of a hard time.

If there existed something she couldn’t deal with, then it meant that under normal circumstances, nobody could deal with it either... As one could see from his experience, trying to save someone that was of her caliber, almost turned him insane.

Exhaustion took over her soul as she slowly lost control of herself. Bing Shi couldn’t even clutch her head in pain as her body began to spasm sporadically. She was going through inner torture that many others would regard as nothing more than child’s play. Some emotions played a push and pull game, sending out a stream of fears for her to conquer. Yet again, she was pushed to search for her safe harbor in the center of a hellish chasm.

The tears in his soul became tears in his eyes as he stopped suppressing her powers, allowing her to enclose herself in that protective barrier. With the barrier that enveloped her vulnerable body, she separated herself from him; all five of her senses, from sound, smell, and so on, were locked away as she focused on healing her internal bleeding.

Xuan Mu had been through a lot and crying never did him any good. He wasn’t used to expressing the pain that way. And now, watching her, it was as if there was some kind of blockage that had been unclogged; his longing condensed into a deluge of never-ending rain as he engulfed her in a warm hug, subduing the hostility towards her in his heart.

He made the blood and dirt on their clothes disappear and his wounds heal with such astounding speed that it was visible to the naked eye from an outsider’s perspective.

He patted her back gently, an action that was no different from how he lulled his son to sleep. Pushing the unnecessary thoughts at the back of his mind, his self-control was being tested to its absolute limits. He would become her safe harbour; her sanctuary in the many storms and tribulations she’d be forced to face.

Once assured that she was feeling just a little better, Bing Shi allowed him to suppress her powers. She sighed once she became attuned to all five of her senses. Though she was still overwhelmed, it was not as bad as before. Getting a hold of herself, she was about to put the mask back on, but he obstructed her regained sense of vision with his enlarged face.

“Don’t... Not around me.” Forcefully plunging deeply through her lips with his tongue, swirling his muscle in her cavern to fully taste her, Xuan Mu left no part of her mouth undiscovered.

Xuan Mu noticed when he first met her today. Her pure intentions had morphed into something darker than a simple desire to improve her and other people’s lives. She had committed grave crimes, not because she had to, but because she could. There was always a viciousness that came from another place and time, from the damage, the triggers of her past.

Xuan Mu’s worried gaze collided with hers; a flash of understanding passed between them, invading their lungs and bringing a stinging sensation to their eyes.
