Oh. My. Fate?! (BL, Volume 7) - Chapter 101: Chapter 101

Xiang Yu furrowed his brows indiscomfort but contrary to Xin Lan's expectations, he didn'terupt. He didn't even try to shake Qiu Ling off and just let himcontinue with a bitter expression.
Xin Lan's brows rose in surprise.Had somebody exchanged this fallen god for another person? Was thisreally the same person that hissed and lashed out at him as soon ashe got too close or at least went into hiding? How come this Qiu Lingwas suddenly allowed to touch him?
He reached out to see whethersomething was indeed wrong but Xiang Yu's nails sunk into his armbefore he even had the opportunity to brush his skin.
"What do you think you'redoing?"
"I ..." Xin Lan frowned.How come the result was still the same? Why was Qiu Ling gettingpreferential treatment? Don't tell him this guy really thought hewas such a bad person? He scowled and tried to reach out again onlyto be met with the same reaction. "What are you doing? How comeit's alright if he touches you but you'll get angry if I try?!"
Qiu Ling harrumphed. "What areyou even talking about? That's a completely different thing!"
"How is that different?"Xin Lan stared at the two people in front of him. Hadn't those twoonly met just now? How come they were suddenly of the same opinion?Was this a conspiracy?
Xiang Yu didn't bother to explainhis actions but finally moved out of Qiu Ling's grasp and turned tolook at him, examining his face.
Qiu Ling didn't feel that therewas anything wrong with being looked at like this. He knew he wasvery handsome. It was only right for people to look at him like this!Mn, it was just a pity that his beloved wasn't here to look at him.Jing He's gentle gaze was the most welcome to him.
He tilted his head. Eh, come tothink of it ... He should remind this guy. "You do you know thatI'm engaged, right? There's no chance for you to get togetherwith me. I'm very happy with my beloved."
Xiang Yu didn't bother to tell himthat that wasn't what he had thought about. He just continued tolook at him. This person ... seemed like a good lover to have. Such anice person! He even made sure that nobody would get any thoughtsabout him while his beloved wasn't there. He deserved to be withthat boy from the demon realm. "I really saw your beloved."
Qiu Ling blinked. "Really?"
Xiang Yu nodded.
"Are you sure? You have to knowthat my beloved isn't just anyone. He's Jing He, the crown princeof the Nine Heavens, the most beautiful person in all the threethousand lower, middle, and higher realms. He has black eyes thatlook just as beautiful as the night sky, inky black hair that runsdown his shoulders like a satiny waterfall, his waist is willowy andhis limbs slender. Well, I think saying that he is the most beautifulperson ever is enough to give you an impression. So did you seesomebody like that?"
Xiang Yu tilted his head andpondered. In the end, he shook his head. "No, but I think theperson I saw said that he's called Jing Yi anyway, not Jing He."
"Ah. That doesn't matter. Youknow my —"
"The two of you, could you stopthe chitchat already? You know where the reincarnation of the Son ofHeaven is. Great. Then tell him so he can go and get him back. Andyou can focus on healing His Majesty's soul in the meantime."
Xiang Yu pursed his lips. "Howcould that be? His soul is still injured. If they meet now, then whatif it shatters completely?"
"Ah?" Qiu Ling grabbedXiang Yu by the shoulders and pulled him back to face him. "Whatdo you mean his soul could crack if we meet each other?"
Xiang Yu tilted his head. "Isn'tyour beloved's soul cracked?"
Qiu Ling nodded. "Yes, it'sbecause he used the soul-engraving dagger to cut into it."
"No." Xiang Yu shook hishead. "His soul was about to crack anyway. Using that daggerjust made it ... happen a little faster."
"How could that be?!" QiuLing let go of Xiang Yu and turned away, his gaze flickering. Thiscouldn't be! Why would Jing He's soul ... He whirled back around."Are you sure about this?"
"Mn."
"But why?" He didn'tunderstand. A soul didn't crack just like that! There had to be areason. So why? It couldn't be ... He furrowed his brows. "Couldit be somebody attacked him? Could it have been some demon? Is thatwhat happened?"
Xiang Yu shook his head again. "No.I mean something like that can happen but most of the time, thingslike that happen because a soul is unstable. It often occurs if atrial is happening in the Nine Heavens where it affects themdirectly."
"Ah? But ... but Jing Hereincarnated for his trial. How could that be the reason? No, youhave to be wrong! Maybe he's actually alright. I mean sure, therewere some cracks but those can be healed, no? It doesn'tnecessarily have to do with ... anything else, right? It could justbe ... because of the dagger. It doesn't have to be anything else."He furrowed his brows and lowered his gaze. No, this was probablynothing but the result of using the soul-engraving dagger. It had tobe! Because otherwise ... something would have to be wrong with JingHe and if they didn't know what that was ... then Jing He wouldcontinue to be in danger until they could find out the reason.
