106 I want to subdue him (1/2)

Damned death god? Huang Qiuyan looks up at Sung Na-Mil. How daring is this girl to curse the death god?

”Don't blame someone without any evidence.” Fu Sheng stares at Sung Na-Mi. ”It might be him, but the method is too crude. The souls are not reaped from this world. I am guessing that even the reapers cannot enter or leave this world right now. He's most unlikely to be the one behind this.”

Huang Qiuyan scratches her head. They are talking about the god of death. The real god of DEATH?

[Why are you surprised? Sung Na-Mi is immortal human. Fu Sheng is a pureblooded vampire. You are a converted vampire-zombie. Of course, there are gods present too.]

Na-Mi lets out an exasperated sigh. ”That god is a manipulative jerk. We don't know what he can or cannot do. He doesn't like my father either. His archenemy is my cousin-in-law.”

”Na-Mi, Reis and Arius are not enemies.” Se-Yong tells her, ”You know how it is. The gods often get bored. Even I get bored sometimes and stir things for my amusement.”

”Each time you stirred trouble, it was I who cleaned it up.” She stomps his foot. ”If it is that god, I swear that I will steal my father's scythe and cut him into half.”

She's feisty. Klyn finds her more intriguing with every passing minute. He keeps forgetting the fact that she can use the scythe on him if he does anything wrong.

”We will start by inspecting this location first.” Fu Sheng points at the closest gate from the castle in the map. ”We will leave tomorrow morning.”

Not bothering to hear any more question, he grabs Huang Qiuyan's arm and walks out of the throne room. Seeing him leaving like that, Sung Na-Mi frowns deeply. She crosses her arms and looks at the map. Why can't they leave right now?

”It's already evening,” Aiken exclaims.

She gazes out of the window. Crimson rays of sunlight are breaking through the sky. It will be night soon. Those creatures are most active in the night. It's not a good idea to leave right now. Her brother pats her back. ”It will be alright. Our family will return soon.”

”Tomorrow, it is then.” She sighs. Being cautious is better than being foolish.

Fu Sheng takes Huang Qiuyan to her room. ”Take some rest.”

He pauses to take a glance at her. He pats her head once and turns around to leave.

”Wait.” All she has been doing is taking rest. ”I am going with you tomorrow, right?”

He turns around and looks at her. ”You are not.”

”Why?” She widens her eyes. ”I want to go too. It could be dangerous.”

”It is dangerous.” He looks into her eyes. ”You are not strong enough to accompany us. Stay in the castle with Fu Mian and practice your magic.”
