Oh. My. Fate?! (BL, Volume 7) - Chapter 89: Chapter 89

Xiang Yu followed Nie Huang to thesecond floor in a bad mood. Even seeing that she didn't know whichroom to turn too couldn't cheer him up. He only walked up to herwith a gloomy expression and extended his hand, pointing at the doorto the room where Xin Lan was waiting. He didn't even bother toexplain. Hmph. He'd like to see that fake dragon explain.
Nie Huang looked at Xiang Yu in adaze. How come this person knew where she was supposed to go? Hewouldn't be here to meet this person she was supposed to come tosee too, would he? She wanted to speak up but looking at hisexpression she felt that it was better not to say anything at all. Inthe end, she nodded and gave him a smile before hurrying away.
Xiang Yu pursed his lips. Howstupid! Did she believe she was anything special to him? She wasn't,obviously. This guy would change his mind about who he loved like hechanged his robes. If he tired of wearing one, he'd slip out of itand put on another. If there was a dirty spot or maybe even a holesomewhere in the fabric, he might even burn the robe to ashes! He wasthat type of guy! It really was too stupid to hope for anything fromhim.
Xiang Yu silently followed Nie Huangto the door. That fake dragon ... he was a horrible person. Tian wasright. He was no good. He wasn't worthy. He could find somebodymuch better than him.
It was just ... since the day he wasborn this was the second person that had that type of feelings forhim. No, actually, he was the only one. His husband ... his husbandhad never loved him, after all. He had only been ...
He watched through a veil of tearshow Nie Huang knocked on the door and opened it, stepping in with apleasant smile.
"I was told to —" Hervoice stopped and she froze before she had stepped completely inside."Bai ... Bai Mu?"
Xiang Yu tilted his head. Bai Mu?Had he not even told her his real name? How pitiful ... How ...eye-opening. Maybe there was no man in all three thousand lower,middle, and higher realms that could be trusted. Maybe ... that thingcalled 'love' didn't exist at all. Maybe ... Tian was wrong foronce and only blinded by his own illusion.
"Bai Mu."
"Nie Huang."
Steps sounded and finally, a strongpair of arms pulled Nie Huang against an equally broad chest.
Xiang Yu wanted to turn away when heglanced at the face of the man. Eh? No mask? That wasn't ...
Bai Mu looked up when he feltsomeone staring at him. He froze when he saw those black eyes and theequally black mark between those brows. That was ... "Fallen ...fallen god."
"Fallen god?" Anothervoice sounded from the room and Xin Lan rushed to the door, lookingat Xiang Yu incredulously. The fallen god he had searched for ... hadshown up on his doorstep on his own accord? "You —"
Xiang Yu furrowed his brows andpointed at Xin Lan's nose. "You're not allowed to love me!"
"Ah?"
"You're ... not allowed tolove me." He wouldn't let him. This guy had waited here wheretwo lovers were supposed to reunite. He was intruding on somebodyelse's heartfelt reunion and had even let him believe that he wasmeeting a woman! Someone like that really was no good!
"I ..." Xin Lan shook hishead. What was this lunatic talking about? Ah, never mind that. "Weneed to talk."
"No! You can keep yourconfession to yourself! I don't need to hear it!" Xiang Yuturned around and reached out, his nails ripping space apart onceagain.
Xin Lan jumped forward and tried tograb Xiang Yu's shoulder but those nails aimed for his arm next. Hepulled back but didn't stop his pursuit. He finally had him. Hecouldn't let him leap through the gate and vanish.
"You stay where you are!"
When Xiang Yu turned to step throughthe gate, he lunged at him, grabbed onto his waist and tackled him tothe ground. Xin Lan smirked. This guy might be a fallen god but hehad been born long after Tian's curse was spoken. To him, he wasbut a child. And this particular child had obviously never learnedhow to fight.
Xin Lan watched with satisfaction asthe gate to the High Heavens closed. Only when the spatial tumult haddied down did he lift his torso. "Have you ..." He stoppedand raised his brows. The fallen god below him had frozen stiff.Don't tell him he had smashed into the ground that hard? But thatwas absurd. He was a fallen god. If something like that could hurtthem, then nobody would fear them. No, hurting a fallen god was muchmore difficult. "You —"
"Ah!" Xiang Yu'sspiritual energy burst forth and threw the person on his back off,catapulting him through the window and right across the street. Therooms next to them weren't spared either, the doors ripped toshreds and the furniture inside overturned.
Xin Lan didn't have time to worryabout the person that was supposed to help his Master at this moment.He couldn't even stop his own flight. He crashed into a stall onthe other side on the street and groaned.
Ah, he should have known this wouldhappen. Pinning a fallen god that had lost his sanity over a failedlove trial to the ground in such an ambiguous posture ... What wasthat if not asking for death? He could be happy that he was strong.Anyone else might have been worse off.
In the destroyed upper floor of therestaurant, Xiang Yu finally leaped to his feet. He pointed acrossthe street at Xin Lan's sorry figure, his whole body trembling."You can't love me!"
Xin Lan sighed and closed his eyes.Could somebody tell him how he was supposed to calm down a crazyfallen god? Especially if that fallen god was under the impressionthat he had somehow shifted his affections to him since they last saweach other? Ah, he really ... really wished life could be easier atleast once.
