The Cursed Bloodline
Mirai Rescue

Xio stared at the dark night sky, thin sweat adorning his forehead, while his black irises stared at the pale red full moon. Just now, he had a nightmare, a man he had never met before was present in his dream. The cold-faced man, who was at first glance so similar to him. Xio immediately broke his daydream, for some reason his feelings were not calm. Only one thing could disturb the flat-faced man's mind. Who else if not Mirai

Xio turned his body, stepping steadily about to leave the highest peak of Tengu castle. But he had not yet moved, a snowflake appeared before him. Slowly the snow lump formed a long-haired woman. With his hands holding his stomach, the wound on Mirai's body continued to spurt blood. With the rest of his strength, Mirai began to limp toward Xio

"Mirai! " Xio immediately approached Mirai. The girl was already too tired and was running out of strength. Right after Xio embraced Mirai's body the girl lost consciousness and fell into the Leader's arms

Xio immediately raised Mirai's body towards his room. Arriving there, Xio immediately laid Mirai in bed and pressed the wound on his stomach.

"Nee! " Xio called out to one of his men, and quickly a shadow appeared before Xio. While bowing respectfully, Nee prepared to take orders from Leader Tengu

" Hurry and bring Yuri here! Mirai is in danger only Yuri can cure her! "

" Well, Xio" in an instant Nee turned into a grain of iron and disappeared. Zou who had just come to the room could only put on a confused face. Seeing Mirai unconscious, without being asked by Xio he immediately pulled out a needle from his pocket

"I will neutralize the magic on his body, at least that way his special blood will not come out this badly! " he started to press some of the fital points in Mirai's hand

" Leader! " said Zou on the sidelines of his treatment "You know more than well, Mirai's condition cannot be cured with any Kenkou in this world. His condition was already very severe, plus his stomach wound that continued to bleed. I guess, until Yuri comes back I'm not sure Mirai can survive"

Xio was just speechless, he looked at Mirai's pale face. Xio understood what happened to the woman before him. One small wound alone was able to make Mirai's body endure an excruciating pain. With the deep wound in his stomach, of course Mirai would have a hard time enduring that pain

Xio stretched out his hand, pressing down on Mirai's stomach wound with his magic. That made Zou shocked

"Xio! You transferred the power of your life? You're not a healer or a man of great power like Mirai! If you keep transferring your energy you could die! "

" This is the only way we can do it. Until Yuri returns, I will give her my energy! "

" Leader! "

" Hush up, Zou! Now tighten the castle's security. Sora warriors might be arriving at this place soon! Once Yuri arrives, get ready! We will leave this base and head for the base on the island of Hemi! " say Xio slowly.

He refocused his strength onto Mirai's stomach wound. As Zou said, not a single magic power could cure Mirai. Because basically, Mirai is a form of medicine itself. As the reincarnation of the Goddess of life, it would be very difficult for ordinary magic to heal her special body. There is only one way Mirai can survive. The second stone of 4 pillar stones. It was a stone embedded in Yuri

In line with the power that Xio keeps transferring to Mirai's body, Xio's body is turning more and more paled. His black hair was gradually bleaching. While his handsome face slowly shrunk and lost its light.

Xio gave his life force to Mirai. That way, the wounds on Mirai's body would slightly close and stop the blood that kept flowing out. In line with the effects, Xio's body will dry up like an old man

"Defend, Mirai! "

......................

" Yora! " Yuri and Nee finally arrived at Tengu's headquarters. The red-haired girl immediately ran towards Xio. Her ruby-red eyes had rounded to see Xio's current condition

" What's wrong with you? " yuri said as she looked at the man in front of her, she did not even recognize who the old man was. Xio's fit body now looks frail like an old grandfather. While the already dry hand of wrinkles still transferred its power to Mirai

"Yuri! Hurry and help Mirai! "

" What about you? You're almost out of energy! I'm a little late, you're going to die Xio! " said Yuri sobbing looking at Xio. He could not soak his tears, seeing the man he liked risking his life carelessly like that

" Don't mind me! Hurry up and treat Mirai! You said you'd always owe me! Now you can pay me! "

Yuri had no other choice, she tried to get closer to Mirai. Covering her hand, Yuri started to activate her power. A bright light appeared on his back. White snake scales filled Yuri's neck and face. Her red eye bead is now changing, revealing a vertical pupil with a bright yellow iris.

A small ball of strength shot out from Yuri's palm. The magic power was so fierce that it made Yuri spew a little blood from her mouth. The true strength of the pillar stone that was residing in his body. Although it could endanger his own life, he must save Mirai

"Yora! You can get rid of your hands! From now on I will start treating the wounds on Mirai's body! "

Xio obeyed Yuri's words, and he immediately got out of there and watched from afar. As the bright light in Yuri's hand began to grow bigger, so glare that it made everyone in the room squint. A strong wind came from all directions, along with that, Yuri began to emphasize that dasyat power to Mirai's body

Brushhhhh.....

Hanging a great power, the entire room was spoiled poranda made. Until some time, the blinding light was gone

Xio could see the wounds on Mirai's stomach begin to fade. Not fully healed, at least the wound was no longer bleeding or open. Finally Xio could breathe a sigh of relief at Mirai's state

While Yuri who had just unleashed the power of that blade, could only cough while spewing blood from within her mouth. Zou who worried about Yuri, immediately supported Yuri's body which almost fell on the floor

"You okay? " say Zou

" All right! What about Mirai? Is she okay? " ask Zou

Yuri looked at Xio fixedly "Mirai is fine, you don't need to worry! " yuri said as if answering the question implied on Xio's face. He immediately moved, grabbed Xio's arm and followed him

" I've followed all your orders! Now it's your turn, come with me! " say Yuri softly

......................

In a separate room, Yuri took Xio and forced the man to follow where his steps were going. Yuri's hand was still shaking, even for walking she had to force her foot to step.

" Let go of me! Where do you want to take me? I have to take care of Mirai and make sure she's okay" Xio said

"Sit down! At least if you want to worry about someone else! You must first worry about your condition Yora! " yuri Bengpak. With a stingy breath he raised his voice and tried to bring out the vexation within him

Xio only fell silent, he obeyed Yuri's orders. Xio unintentionally looked at his reflection in the mirror. Although not showing any meaningful expression, Xio was certainly surprised to see his current condition. The face that always exuded good looks, now turned into wrinkles. While his dark black hair almost entirely turned white. He was like an 80-year-old man

"Why? Are you sorry to see your form change old? "

" no. If it was to save someone precious. I'm willing to do it! "

" What if I'm in Mirai's position? Are you going to do the same? "

Xio stared intently at Yuri, even with his gaze alone, Yuri could already guess what Xio's answer was for his question

" Cih, of course you won't do it. Mirai is the woman you love. How could I be the only one you consider capable of replacing his position! " said Yuri in a disappointed tone while bowing her head

" I'll do the same. Whoever the Tengu members are in danger, I will do the same as a Leader! Does that answer your stupid question! " Xio started to move from his seat. But Yuri's hand stopped her steps again

" So what does my life mean to you? "

" I never thought of you as anything that would benefit Tengu. Like Oro-ryu who considers you family, Tengu will consider you part of us. So never think weird and whine like a child again, Yuri" Xio said in a flat tone. Hearing Xio's reply a smile finally etched onto Yuri's pale face

"Thank God. Now come here, let me treat you Yora. You've lost almost all your strength. I will transfer the power of the pillar stone to replace your lost power" Yuri said as she unbuttoned her shirt

Due to the loss of such great power, Yuri could no longer concentrate the healing magic on her palm. Therefore, sucking the power from his body directly was the only way to save Xio

Yuri flicked her hair, revealing shoulders as smooth as porcelain before Xio

"Now try to suck the power in my body. I didn't mean to use this on anyone. But it's okay to make my body so weak for treating Mirai"

"What are you doing? "

" Suck my powers. You've never done this with any woman? Don't tell Leader Tengu that stupid" Yuri said as she raised her eyebrows

"You crazy? Stopit! " for the first time Xio showed his nervous expression

" Wuah! I didn't expect, your plate looks can get nervous, too. Comeon! I didn't tell you to sleep with me! All you have to do is bite my neck and take a little energy to restore your condition! "

" I'll do it in your hands! "

" Fussy! My energy center is on my back! Because of snake scales you won't be able to do it on my back! Or in my hands! "

Xio did not answer Yuri. He chose to leave and leave Yuri alone. Feeling neglected, Yuri started to show her upset face. He immediately approached Xio and pulled the man's hand. With a single stomp, Yuri caught the man's face and started to land her lips on Xio's lips

Xio did not resist, Yuri's life energy was so refreshing. It flowed to the sidelines of his veins as if it was a refreshing drink in the middle of summer. Without waiting for any more cue, Xio began to absorb Yuri's energy brutally. Xio's condition began to recover, his skin returned fresh like a twenty-year-old man again. While his hair was bleached, it turned dark again. His body that almost stayed the skeleton, now again contains a sturdy figure of dashing pus typical of Leader Tangu

But the recovery of his condition, did not discourage Xio to release his support. He still wrestled with Yuri's lips until the girl patted his chest as a sign that Xio was stopping his brutal activities

"Stop! You want to suck out my energy! "say Yuri with a stingy breath. He could no longer hide his red face

Xio who was starting to regain his sanity just stared at Yuri with a confused face. What exactly possessed him? Why would he do that? Without saying anything as bad as a word, Xio immediately left Yuri alone

Yuri who saw the flat-faced man leave could only sigh in annoyance

"Wuah! She's not even grateful to me? You fucking jerk! " said him while rubbing his lips rough
