chapter 2

Alice had fallen sitting on the ground with the strange man she had just rescued by pulling a spear of him threatening to kill her the dark aura she sensed almost completely made her feel powerless

“Aaaaahhhh!!! please don't kill me” she screamed but it was almost pointless the man didn't seem to care if she was in fear.

He moved forward to pierce his blade through her and Alice felt to scared to run it was as if she couldn't move again her legs were frozen she could only watch that man slowly come towards her, as he raised his blade something suddenly jabbed his heart he felt a shape pain through him but no one was around, and no real object had actually hurt him, so it was like spiritually he chose to ignore it and strike her again, but something immediately pushed him backwards making him feel severe pain all around when Alice noticed this she quickly realized she could finally feel life in her legs and quickly stood up and ran.

She ran out of the cave and kept running till she she saw an opening and quickly followed it and it led her to the sight of green grass and she fell to the ground as soon as she was out her heart had been thumping heavily indeed, she was trying to rap her head around on what was happening just then she heard a voice that sounded quite deep with heavy footsteps from her back coming towards her saying

“What kind of cage is this, last time I checked you had no single spiritual energy in you so how come I can't touch you I can barely lift a finger at you” she turned to see that it was the same man from before and quickly wanted to run again, but this time the man spoke in a normal tone, and you realize his voice was actually quite charming he said“ what in the world do you want to run for didn't you hear me say I can't touch you, so it's pointless do you

even know where your going if you run if you want to figure out what is going on it's better you stay here” for, some reason Alice didn't know why but she stood up, and brushed the dirt of her uniform and stayed calm.

The man walked around a bit and said“ I sense spiritual energy here so what do you want ” suddenly glowing white surrounded the place then a beautiful woman with long braided black hair ,dressed and adorned in lovely white appeared.

Alice was shocked and surprised and couldn't put her head around what was going on but to be honest it was not as if since she came here she saw anything normal the woman then said in a gentle tone “ welcome Alice” the man Alice found scary then talked to the woman in a normal tone not harsh but also not gentle saying “ Nuwa I would be lying if I say I didn't expect to see you here am finally free but I seems not able to use my spiritual power to which am pretty sure you know what is going that is why to your here please go on with your boring lesson I really do not have time for this” Nuwa responded telling him “ yes and infact all you will be able to use is your weapons and only a bit of your spiritual power from now on Yu feng and you won't be able to hurt that girl” hearing this Alice couldn't establish anything only learning that the scary man's name was Yu feng, and after hearing this Yu feng became mad demanding to know why can't he use his spiritual powers Nuwa told him that his spiritual powers would depend on Alice so was he ready to listen he calmed down and pointed to Alice saying “ little girl this is goddess Nuwa and she is also in charge of handling things like for what ever she is here for ”

Immediately goddess Nuwa looked at Alice and said“ indeed a bright soul let me tell you a story ” Alice nodded her head subconsciously thinking in her mind she was seeing a real life goddess and goddess Nuwa began“ quite many years ago in the jade realm there lived this soul and this being was so powerful that people referred to him as the demon king even though he wasn't yet one, he was more of a demon prince but even more ferocious than the demon king himself, so naturally people thought he was more befitting of the title, once in his lifetime he made a deal with the devil orb he'd bring people all under his knees and the orb could generate dark energy from it, obviously he didn't need it, but you never know what can happen so is always best to keep a helping hand when things became terrible and many lives had been lost under this being the most of the strongest beings decided to come together to take this being down he was almost undefeatable so the use of some spiritual power from the Destiny orb was taken into effect he would still have survived if not that somehow he was betrayed by the devil orb and the power of the destiny orb went into is demonic spear and stabbed him making him fall through a cliff and sealing him with shackles in his hands but you know he wouldn't have lost if the devil orb didn't manage to get something of him that enabled him to be stabbed and fallen,infact the devil orb is even more the real enemy because as time passed it started to create havoc then suddenly disappear into tin air , till it decides to appear again and create more problems and disappear and all this happened a thousand years ago no one knows what it's objective is, but is obviously not good it must want to consume this world and that is why you are here because the destiny orb chose to use you as the savior also your friend over here he is also the being I just told you about in the story”.

So many things went through Alice mind like what was going on she was just respecting her families ancestry a few minutes ago, was this Yu feng really a demon king if so why did this so called destiny orb bring her here anyway to put how many lives in her hands not to mention she was still but a kid, then goddess Nuwa immediately spoke “ I know a lot is going through your mind now but I want you to know the more you train and cultivate here by Yu feng ,you will become very powerful ” hearing this Yu feng immediately spoke up “ you can't expect me to teach this insignificant little girl, has the destiny orb gone mad even if it had to chose someone why not someone capable why such a useless girl who doesn't even know the meaning of cultivation and at least doesn't know a thing or two about martial arts and as if that isn't enough chose the whole demon king, am even spitting this at you a demon king to be her guardian ” Nuwa told Yu feng that it knows what it is doing ,chosing the most capable to do the job plus it isn't only Alice even he is apart of this , Yu feng complained that why must he help anyway , then goddess Nuwa replied “ didn't you hear me before she is now the key to your spiritual energy only when she manages to open that hole can you function plus I know you want revenge on the devil orb so why are you complaining” hearing this Yu feng kept quiet but Alice spoke up “ emm goddess am just a kid I can't do this I just want to go home I don't even know where I am ” then goddess Nuwa told her she was in the jade realm she she wasn't even in her world and Alice said “ feels more like a jade world than a realm ” but goddess Nuwa told her, here they prefer to call it realm but just then Yu feng stretched his hand and his spear came to him.

he just tossed it over to Alice saying it was useless to him now just then goddess Nuwa told Alice to stretch her palm which she did and a mirror appeared then Nuwa told Alice that the mirror was hers she opened it and told her the mirror and the powers it possess belongs to her , as she spoke Alice was busy looking at the beautiful mirror then Nuwa said to her that the mirror was broken Alice could hardly believe it, it looked perfectly fine to her just then Nuwa flicked her thumbs and the mirror showed that it was actually broken in half , Alice was surprised but goddess Nuwa said to her that the mirror will reflect to look good she must look beyond pass it ,she has given Alice the ability to make the mirror appear and go into her soul when ever she thinks of it she told Alice to allow the mirror be her guide to where ever she went and that the mirror will also lead her to it's pieces for her to repair it as it rightfully belongs to her and she would go home once her task was done then goddess Nuwa disappeared.

Alice and Yu feng sat under different trees Alice took the one at the right and Yu feng took the one at the left Alice was probably thinking how she would survive this and get home and Yu feng was probably thinking why in the world was he stuck with a child who he could have simply brushed away but when he wasn't looking Alice took a peek at him wondering if he was really that bad after all didn't he give her his weapon, all of a sudden he stood up and said “ lets get going and don't look at me like that ” Alice stood up and moved closer to him and opened her hand and the mirror appeared Alice then pointed to a direction and said “ it said we should go that way ” Yu feng quickly advanced forward moving like he didn't have any problems that made Alice wonder and manage to speak to him on how he was suddenly ok with all of this ,Yu feng replied her“ it is not that I am ok I already know the situation am in unlike you no matter how I like it I have to accept am stuck with it rather than wasting my time thinking over it the faster we get the more were done with this plus I want to give that devil orb a hell of a beating that fucking bastard anyway , and hence the more we need to communicate can we get going talking to you is even more tiresome as it is for me the nicer I have to act I get annoyed you are one of the very few who gets this treatment from me”alice actually thought to herself that despite the fact he tried to kill her they should probably just ignore it he however turns around and faces the road ahead suddenly Alice came Infront skipping as if everything was ok Yu feng told her “ have you gone mad ” Alice replied saying “ nope just that he was right thinking and shaking over something that she would still eventually end up doing with bravery is kinda a waste of time it's better to just focus on doing what was at hand now so she can go back home peacefully”. Yu feng was shocked to the core what kind of a child is this stuck in the middle of no where and acting all accepting and afraid of him like seconds ago to ye whatever you are a demon king, Alice then quickly runs ahead all that Yu feng could say was “ this kid, what a weird kid”

As both of them got out of the bushes to another a sudden portal appeared Yu feng told Alice to stop and not move then four people came out and he said under his breath “they are from the divine realm” the four men stood elegant and tall the most high ranking of them all went by the name Du ze and they were from the kings court in the divine realm all Alice could think was what the hell was divine realm just then lord Du ze bowed and greeted Alice he said to Alice “ greetings and welcome our savior we are honoured to see you” just then as he raised his head up he saw Yu feng he quickly yelled “ lord's stay alert it is the demonic Yu feng how is he alive protect the savior ” they immediately brought out there weapons and pointed to him just immediately Alice rushed and blocked him in the front saying “ wait he is not harmful his with me he has also been chosen to take on this task ” the men couldn't believe there eyes but if what the savior said was through there was nothing they could do but bring him along with them one of the man said to mock him “ you aren't even ashamed of yourself hiding under a little girl you can't even beg for mercy” however Yu feng just said coldly “ say's the one who didn't think it was a little girl when bowing and calling her savior earlier ” he then added “ you forgot you were happy to dump responsibilities on a child ” the man wanted to fight but Du ze stopped him and they all just focused at the task at hand and climbed a cloud that sped fast them towards the divine realm Yu feng and Alice stood in the back then Yu feng said“ why did you step in I can handle myself ” Alice told him that he was now with her how could she not step up for him however Yu feng used rolled his eyes and said “ your so different from the rest what a nuisance ”

lt didn't take long and they got to the divine realm and the people gathered looking at them some where even shocked and in surprise looking at the little girl child and especially the supposed to be dead demon king how the hell was he still alive but his astonishing beauty had some questioning his darkness.they arrived at the grand hall and both Alice and Yu feng climbed the stairs and went in together and saw people gathered inside and they were greeted by Boa Jian who sat on the throne he said “I had heard some shocking news but I am glad to see the savior before us today we the divine realm took it personally to invite you ourselves and thank you for your arrival”. As he talked all Alice was busy looking at was how grand the place was until she realized that they were talking to her and said “ am glad for your thoughtfulness am grateful ” then Bao Jian said“we are so glad you both feel the same” just then Yu feng broke the silence he said in an arrogant voice “ you don't need to pretend to be happy to see me I know you're not, you only care about Alice so please don't ,i hate pretense ” then the angry man from earlier spoke decisively “ Yu feng you selfish inconsiderate brat don't feel all mighty just because you have come back you have been down graded in our eyes try us and see without Qi (spiritual power) your half useless hearing this Yu feng laughed in a dark aura that was scary and said “ you think I need Qi to take all of you, make me laugh even at my weakest for me your still just to weak my skills let alone my weapons is enough to beat the living crap out of all of you here” he stretched his left hand and brought out and a blade the dark aura surrounded it and it became 10 times bigger and longer “ you want to play let's play where is that old man unfortunately the second trash bag had to sit in for him I just laugh looking at the hall of idiots” Alice wondered so that Bao Jian wasn't the ruler of the divine continent he was just filling in for the real emperor as second in command just then the man and few orders spoke up but still scared by him“ you are indeed just evil inside ” just then Alice quickly spoke up and said they should act like grown ups and stop staring fight themselves and Bao Jian ordered the others to calm down and stop acting childish Yu feng made the blade disappear within him but murmured “ weaklings” Bao Jian then said“ the emperor has gone into seclusion and trial and should not be disturbed they can only wish for the best ” Yu feng smirked and said “ so the old man has decided to add more muscle whatever” just then a being that looked like a human woman with white wings flew in and

Came close to Bao Jian and whispered some important information, Alice couldn't help but ask what was that person Yu feng told her “ an Avian like birds of the sky but they are naturally born with wings in the jade realm there are seven of them and as far as Alice is concerned she has seen beings from the underworld, divine, human and Avian realm” it looked like what the avian just told Bao Jian was extremely scary just then Alice made herself known and said looking around the place “ I must say this place is extremely great but we can't stay here me and my friend have to get going" Yu feng eyes widened friends with a little girl since when but chose not to talk however Bao Jian hesitantly agreed as if trying to get them out quickly.

Both of them didn't dig to it deeply and went out of the grand hall as they were climbing down the stairs Alice noticed that Yu feng was looking around turning his face left and right as if looking for someone or something, and he didn't have that angered or scary look he was somehow calm and worried at the same time Alice saw this and smiled then said“ what or who are you looking for” in a kind tone he just said “nothing”and focused at the path ahead he may not have realized it, but he was acting different however with just there little experience Alice didn't think him bad any more they both got to a place guided by an imperial guard who took them to a door that they only needed to walk in it would take them back to their original track they originally were as they both went in they saw themselves in a void and Yu feng didn't look to happy about it when Alice asked what was wrong Yu feng told her that the devil orb doesn't want them to get to their original destination in fact it has sent dark aura to kill them here just then black aura came jolting at them Yu feng immediately activated a shield it was one of the few things he was allowed to access he said to Alice “ you have to open the key to my power even if it is small” Alice shook in fear, Yu feng just brought a hammer from his hand and his blade in the other and tried to shatter the dark aura, but it wasn't much Alice decided to use her spear but was just hitting it using the back Yu feng even stopped for a moment and was like seriously that is not how to use it properly but resumed his fight just then he yelled at Alice but not in a harsh manner saying“ girl try you can do it” just then Alice screamed and put her 2 hands to cover her ears saying“ how am I supposed to do it, how am I supposed to do it, how am I supposed to do it” just then she decided to have a little faith in herself instead of running from the problem face it head on, and she then said“ I can do it, I can do it, I can do it” just then Yu feng felt some energy rushing through him his eyes immediately lit with gold aura then his whole body he raised his right hand horizontally and closed his palm and said in a domineering voice“ clear away from my path” then the entire black aura shattered in pieces and the 2 fell in the destination they originally were before they met those men from the divine realm as Yu feng slowly stood up the spiritual power was gone he stood up only a little he turned to see Alice bowing to him she said in a sober tone“ am sorry for everything so far thanks for everything thing you have done for me, I am indeed grateful ” Yu feng was almost speechless and just hit her a bit in the head saying“ little brat let's get going your apologizing for what anyway am not interested in killing you anymore let's leave ” Alice was very happy that there relationship was improving after she knew even he has a story to tell as they both walked he asked“ by the way what's your name” she replied Alice, Yu feng then said “what a strange name” he also remembered something and quickly took the spear away from her “that reminds me you don't know how to use it, it is also best it doesn't stay with you, I will keep it with me i can't watch my weapons get treated like that” Alice complained that, but he gave it to her isn't she supposed to learn things he should give it to her however he just said from now on he will do the fighting, but Alice didn't agree she asked for the weapon back but Yu feng just told her if he feels like it, they will get her another weapon, Alice and Yu feng just kept complaining about the matter for quite a while.
