A Journey Against the World
Chapter 165

Shua Xie rubbed into his two hands until it was hot then stuck it on his cold cheek. I don't know just how he felt his whole body felt cold, so cold as if Shua Xie was soaking in a pile of ice. Tsakuya realizes that Shua Xie is cold, with a gentle man attitude as a man, she hugs Shua Xie but with just one hand. While his left hand held his nose which was aching due to the previous 3 young men's blows.

"What are you doing?!" Shua Xie was a little panicked when Tsakuya suddenly embraced him. Shua Xie's mind wouldn't be right at a time like this, where he was wearing only Tsakuya's robes. Cuddled by a man when he is not wearing full clothes, who would not think badly?

"Calm down, Achi, I'm just helping you ease your cold."

"Stop calling me, Achi! My name is not Achi, my name is Shua Xie!" suhut Shua Xie was quick, remaining annoyed if Tsakuya called him by that name. I don't know why she felt that name was too cute for her.

"Alright, Shua Xie. You're still as stubborn as ever." Tsakuya smiled faintly, feeling that her words were a joke that could make Shua Xie laugh. But instead of looking at the laughter from the beautiful girl, she got a sharp look.

"Stop pretending to know me. You don't know anything about me" Shua Xie replied. Actually he wants to hit Tsakuya's head, but seeing Tsakuya's condition is not good he also locked his intentions. It was also impossible for Shua Xie to attack someone who had helped him when someone was injured.

Tsakuya kept smiling but did not reply to Shua Xie's words. His gaze turned forward, looking at the dancing trees due to the gust of wind. Tsakuya felt a little lucky to meet Shua Xie, despite the girl's attitude being quite fierce and cold, but she never heard any harsh words that wanted her to go far. Moreover, Tsakuya also did not feel regret for giving most of her power to Shua Xie.

He recalled how he first met Shua Xie in the Spirit world. At that time Tsakuya had just finished her cultivation, intending to break out of the Spirit realm, yet she did not expect that she would meet Shua Xie. The spirits that were swaying in the Spirit world were escorted by 9 great spirits that made Tsakuya both surprised and amazed. There Tsakuya is also able to meet his first brother Kie Lie, the first King of the Pheonix race.

[Flash Back On]

The Spirit World is a place that no creature wants to go to. Who wants to go to the Spirit world? It was very dark and scary. The place where all the spirits who were unwilling to die gathered, where all the hateful spirits gathered. Which made the Spirit world so terrifying because its inhabitants were so ruthless, killing each other in order to obtain Qi strengthened their own spirits, besides, it was so cruel, killing each other was also a quick method in order to get out of the Spirit realm. For the weak spirits of the Spirit world was extremely terrifying, where they could have been eating spirits that were much stronger than them. Even worse if the spirit is timid, it will be eaten more quickly by other spirits.

In that dark world, a man with black white hair, black right and white left fell asleep for a very long time. The spirit that was so emitting a terrifying powerful aura that it intimidated the many spirits that wanted to aim for it. Suddenly the man's eyes opened, his blood-red irises emitting a resolute aura. The man blinked a few times before he finally got up and looked around him.

"Aura First sister? He's in the Spirit world?" The man was still staring in all directions while sharpening all his senses. As he stared at one place, he could feel his brother's aura coming from there. Without a second thought the man walked towards where he sensed the aura of his brother's existence.

"Biggat!!"

"Rablum!!"

"Huhuhuhuhu .. hiks ...."

"Hahaha!!"

Various voices sounded from all sides, as it was so dark he could not see who was hiding behind the darkness. Compared to that, he prioritized his goal even more. After all those voices must be spirits who deliberately wanted to attract his attention, after successfully pulling him he would definitely be their meal.

Paak!

The man stopped walking and glanced at his feet, a jet-black hand with long, pointed nails hitting his feet, even petting like a cat. He was not surprised, but was not happy that disgusting hand was keeping his feet clean.

"Let go!" firmly loud. At once the hand took off its legs and went back into the darkness. How not, the man immediately gave off an extremely concentrated killing aura, surely making the owner of the hand scared to death. It was fortunate that the man unlike other spirits who ate each other for the sake of struggling to get out of the Spirit world, he preferred cultivating rather than eating other spirits, to him eating another spirit was the most disgusting thing ever.

After the hand was gone, he resumed his journey. And every step of his foot, there must always be a disturbance even though not directly, there is a deliberate sound of laughter, friction or even the sound of a scratch. But free, the figure they want seems not to care about their actions.

After a few minutes of walking, the man finally got closer to his brother's aura, he could feel his brother's aura getting closer to him. From a distance, he saw nine bright lights of different colors, out of curiosity he approached them. In addition he also felt his brother's aura coming from those lights. However, just as the distance was close, the nine lights suddenly turned into spirits in the form of human beings.

The man was greatly shocked because of the nine light deeds, besides that he also knew the nine lights.

"Children don't come any closer! Or we'll kill. Leave immediately!" One of those nine spirits instantly expelled him.

"Right, as long as we're kind doesn't make you our food."

"Wait a minute!" One of them, a young woman speaking decisively made her other colleague look at her in confusion. "I know her, she's my sister" the woman explained.

"Your sister? Wh who? Zusami or Tsakuya?"

"I'm Tsakuya," the man replied flatly.

"Tsakuya, apparently you were stranded in the Spirit world? I deserve to feel your aura." The woman looked at the man named Tsakuya, not smiling or otherwise, just plainly involved, but her tone seemed to imply a feeling she could not convey.

"I also felt the aura of first Brother's existence that's why I came here." Tsakuya looked at the others, she was still surprised to see the other 9 race leaders were with her Brother. "How can the first brother be with them?" ask Tsakuya curiously.

"It's a long story, but the point is we'll all work together."

"Cooperate?! What for?!" Tsakuya glared in disbelief, how could this brother of his be able to cooperate with them, when in the past they fought each other for the sake of seizing divine power. But now, I don't know what his first brother thought he chose to work together.

"We have a duty to protect this girl." The woman moved to the right, revealing a white lotus that was protected by the nine of them.

Tsakuya watched the large white lotus sharply, just at that moment the lotus petal opened and a small golden-yellow spirit appeared in the center of the lotus flower. The spirit was a female spirit, emitting a warm aura that could lure so many other spirits to get close, not to eat it but to protect it.

'Who is that spirit? Why do I feel a warm sensation to her that makes me want to continue near her?' Tsakuya did not take her eyes off the sleeping little female spirit hugging her two knees.

"She is the woman who is our leader." The words of his older brother, Kie Lie, made Tsakuya look at him immediately.

"What does it mean to be your leader?"

"If you're smart, you can guess" said the man beside Kie Lie. Tsakuya looked at the man in confusion as he still did not understand the meaning of their words.

"He will be the leader of the whole world. She is Queen of Queens, leader of all. You must bow to her, Tsakuya," said Kie Lie softly.

"Why should I submit to him? I don't even know him!" tsakuya replied firmly, not thinking she would agree with her brother's orders, she never even bowed to anyone other than her two long-dead parents.

"Because she is the Queen of us all. There is no reason for you not to submit to him. If you don't submit to him, you'll become the enemy of the whole world because he holds the world in the future."

"I do not believe you will submit to a woman who is of the human race" Tsakuya quipped.

"At first we didn't believe we were going to submit to this girl. He does not even come from our world, but from a world that is very far from our thoughts. But when we were with him, we understood why we had to submit to him. He has an inexplicable privilege. You'll understand if you keep on with him."

"So you mean I have to go with the spirit of the woman?" Tsakuya looked at Kie Lie sharply. The nine spirits nodded their heads together. "I don't want to!" Tsakuya refused.

"You are destined to meet him today, and it is your destiny to be his guardian in the world" said another woman.

"Destiny? How ridiculous!"

"Did the Elves ever lie about fate? You must know our nation can see one's destiny." The woman looked at Tsakuya sharply. Didn't like Tsakuya's words just now.

"But you can't force me!" reply Tsakuya firmly.

"If we can't force, then we can only beg." Kie Lie got down on his knees, naturally surprising Tsakuya as his sister. He never even saw his sister pleading for a human. Not only was Kie Lie kneeling, the other eight spirits were also doing the same.

"Please take care of our Master while in the world, come with him and help him."

"We can't keep her from harm, we can only help her by giving her strength."

"We need someone who can take care of him."

"What the fuck! Why are you begging me?" Tsakuya could not cover her surprise. It could be that these nine spirits were gathered in front of him just for a human.

"Please take care of our Master!!" firmly the nine spirits were simultaneously.

"You guys." Tsakuya did not know what to react to anymore, she was sure that even if she refused they would all still plead with her. For a moment Tsakuya stared at the lotus flower, watching the female spirit there closely. Again the sensation of warm and want to always be close to the woman came back.

"Tsakuya, as your brother, I beg of you," said weakly Kie Lie.

"I as the Dragon King, Xiao Qin also asked for the same thing."

"The Serpent King is the same."

"King of Qilin."

"The Elf Leader."

"The Demon King."

"Lion leader."

"King of the Gods' Land."

"The leader of man."

"WE'RE ALL BEGGING YOU!!"

[Flash Back Off]

Shua Xie suddenly stood up, slightly startling Tsakuya who was daydreaming considering the initial incident she met with Shua Xie. Shua Xie stood in front of Tsakuya while tightly hugging the robe that covered her body. His pale skin grew even paler, even his lips turned blue and trembled with coldness.

"It seems like I have to be alone" Shua Xie said, simply wanting to tell Tsakuya that she was leaving and not wanting to be followed.

"With the body now?" timpal Tsakuya, his eyebrows go up next door. "You have cold pulse disease, your spirit is still not fully adapted to your new body" he explained.

"Yes, I know, that's why I need time alone" Shua Xie said. Does Tsakuya think she doesn't know what she's going through right now?

"Then you know why you still think you want to be alone? You know that cold-pulse disease is very difficult to cure alone, you need my help."

"What do you mean you want us to do that?!"

"You can think of it that way." Tsakuya smiled wryly, deliberately provoking Shua Xie's anger. Shua Xie understood what Tsakuya meant, he threw a kick in Tsakuya's face, but the man quickly dodged her attack.

"You!" Shua Xie was annoyed Tsakuya managed to avoid him. "You can find me but you can't avoid the three young men. Did you do it on purpose?!"

"Do I look intentional?" Tsakuya instead asked back and made Shua Xie annoyed to want to beat her face. "They are three, and I'm alone. Different from now, we're both alone." Tsakuya cupped her chin and developed a smile on Shua Xie.

"What kind of reason is that! It doesn't make sense!" reply Shua Xie annoyed.

"You're the one who doesn't think it makes sense."

"Aarggs! Never mind, talking to you just pisses me off." Shua Xie turned around, walking away from Tsakuya who was smiling at her disappearance.

"If you need my help, call me! I will be happy to help cure your cold pulse!!" tsakuya shouted loudly before Shua Xie was really far away from her. Because of his words, Shua Xie almost fell because he tripped on a rock. Didn't expect Tsakuya to casually shout such a disgusting thing.

"STUPID!!"
