Soul Karmas

"Let's change your bandages and I have to apply the medicine on it."

Snow quietly watch with large amber eyes at the currently awkward Li Chen who was currently holding a small bottle of medicine on his hand.

Li Chen seemed to be unable to decided on what to do, thus making Snow slightly confuse before asking in doubt, "Whats wrong?"

Li Chen silently stare at him with a rather complex look, which make Snow more confuse before large wide palm suddenly touching his left cheek, a large slender but rough thumb gently gliding over the red tear marked under his left eye.

"Did you forget that you are a fair?"

Snow amber eyes blink and then made another blink, before his tiny mouth opening slightly, Snow suddenly was enlightened about why Li Chen was acting awkward.

Snow was also feeling quite speechless.

"I forgot." Yes Snow forgot, even the original body has long forgotten about it.

It has been a very long time since the original owner was treated as a fair person, it was one of the reason why Snow didn't think about his current body gender and was more treating his gender as a complete Male just base from living as a real male in his original life.

Snow has been slightly affected by the memories of the original Xen after being integrated completely in the original Xen body and from seeing Xen own memories that was also combined with his own.

It was one of the side effect of using a person another body.

When using the client body, although the memories and experience gain from it make it easier for a Granter to understand the clients entire life while making it easier in controlling their body but it will also hinder them during their missions.

It was not easy to use a client body specially with those with higher spiritual attribute, only by having a much more higher spiritual attribute than the Client, will the Granter can retain a part of their own self and will be able to control the part which a Granter will be affected.

It was like the Granter has also live the original owner life, something which make a Granter easier to get use into the world they were transfer at, while also giving hardship and challenge to a Granter if they can't wake themselves up and reminding them about their own real identity, causing them to lost their missions because of being unable to adapt and the lost of control.

A Granter could be controlled by the Original Client memories, experiences and emotions if they aren't strong enough to resist it.

It sound easy being a Granter and using a client body but only if they are able to truly don't lost their true self during the mission.

"How could you forgot?" Li Chen asked gently, his slender finger gliding one more time on the red tear marked before removing it with great difficulty, the soft creamy skin of the young boy making him completely addicted.

Snow glance side way, completely neglecting the man slightly unusual and ambiguous move, "... its been a long time since I was treated as a fair person that I forgot that I am one..."

Yes, in the original memory it really was a long time since he has live a very relax and happy life.

After all his brothers died, leaving only him and his brother young son, Xen life change completely while carrying a heavy responsibility that entirely change his entire life at the same time.

Fair person was treated with care, at least most of people does, not only because they are rare and born beautiful and tend to be talented but because the children that was born from them have always been talented and skilled, most geniuses was born from a fair person thus regarding them as a treasure to be protected with care.

But it was different from the original client, he was always working hard, always surrounded by enemies, always fighting and being betrayed and always the one who does the protecting that he has forgotten that he was not a real man at all.

But as a fair person, the original client cannot be treated lightly, he was a contradictory in the history of the Rong Dynasty.

The original owner was the current Regent in the Dynasty since the young emperor was still a young child, only 11 years old at the moment, he has been a Regent for at least 4 years already.

The Regent death was the reason of the Catalyst of the Dynasty, the young Emperor losing the only protection of the only relative that care and love him and the number one allies that supported him the most in the throne was the reason that the Young Emperor died early on just a few months after the original owner died.

No matter how wise, gifted and talented the Young Emperor was, he was defeated by the surrounding enemies that wanted his throne after losing his only protection, the Regent King.

Yes, the Young Emperor is the real and true protagonist in this world, he has the aura of an Emperor, he was meant to be a wise and benevolent Emperor that will be remember in the later generation.

However it was all lose in the original life track of life, but now that Snow was here, it will all change.

And this young man before him, will be the greatest allies that could help them in their current situation, Li Chen has the ability, he was able to eliminate the people who killed the original owner and the Young Emperor and has became the new Emperor in the supposed original track of history in the world.

Hey, Snow will use and get anything that could help him, he doesn't have to work hard by himself alone, there are cheat like existence in this world, so why could he not use it for himself?

So, Snow quickly took off the clothes in his upper body, the green silk robe slipping over and dropping down over his waist, completely showing some of his white skin but mostly it was covered with white bandage with ting of red blood already drenching on it.

Li Chen eyes flash a slight distressed, the young boy body is really thin.

A slight indifferent amber eyes stare at him, "It doesn't matter, I have to cure my body the best I can since I have to leave in 14 days. Even if I want to stay for a bit longer but I really cannot stay for too long."

14 days is the maximum amount of days that he could stay with the man.

Yes, the original owner has long become indifferent about his own body, he was just trying to survive till the Young Emperor was able to fully grasp the power on his throne, while trying to remove all their enemies as fast as he could so that it will not endanger his nephew life after he was gone.

Xen was betting his entire being for his nephew and the country.

It was his duty belonging to the Royal family and his responsibility as the only remaining relative that care about the well being of the Young Emperor.

Then he smiled kindly toward Li Chen, indifferent amber eyes turning gentle, "You are also my savior, I am still alive right now because of you. No matter who you are, it doesn't change the fact that you have given me the ability to be able to continue on for protecting my nephew. Just knowing that is already enough for me to know that I could trust you."

I don't know why you have save me.

No matter who you are.

Good or Evil person, no matter what your past are...

I am really grateful for giving me another chance in life.

Li Chen just silently stare straight with the boy amber eyes, his emotions completely hidden, before smiling and nodding his head, before firmly and seriously begun to apply the medicine on every single injuries on the boy bodies.

No other bad and irrelevant thought crossing his mind, as he professionally does his own job.

Then Li Chen finish bandaging the young boy upper body where the most of his injuries are, before helping him wear his upper garment in a loose way not wanting to aggravate the injuries.

"Rest for now, I'll promise to do my best to cure you quickly as I could."Li Chen said before helping the young boy lay down on the bed, his medicine already started taking affect as the boy amber eyes starting to slowly close from drowsiness.

Gently covering the boy with the quilt before standing up and taking the dirty and bloody bandages on his hand, staring at the sleepy boy for a bit before walking away, however a very soft and sleepy voice soon pass over his s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e ear.

"...Xen, that's my name."

Li Chen stop and stood still before swiftly turning his head, taking a glance at the obviously sleeping boy in the bed, a few second later, a gentle smile appear on his face , "Sleep well Little Xen." before closing the door softly in order not to wake the sleeping boy up.

.

.

Snow blink his large amber eyes as he sat outside while watching the busy Li Chen cooking their food for lunch in the open kitchen.

A few piece of his long ink black hair fluttering by the wind from time to time, acting clueless and ignorant the way Li Chen glance in his direction from time to time.

Snow was quite use to the increasing attention that he was getting from Li Chen in this 3 days in staying with him, although it was a subtle action, it was surprisingly interesting, in his original life Rei has been quite ignorant and naive with his feeling thus, for Snow this was the first time that someone has taken a liking to him in that true way, most people has been admired and fear him.

If it were the original Xen, Snow was quite sure that he won't know and get the meaning of Li Chen action was, it was not because he was ignorant about it, the reason was because in the original Xen subconscious mind, no one will genuinely like himself, it was quite a negative opinion for a beautiful person to have, specially for a fair person.

But there was a reason for it.

The cause of it was the event that has happen when he became the Regent of the Dynasty and the following occurrence that he experiences.

It was the effect of those occurrence that he couldn't view himself in a positive way, specially when he was not being treated really well from the people around him.

Snow couldn't help but sympathize the original Xen, he was definitely strong but he was also quite fragile inside.

A few minutes later, Snow smelled a delicious smell causing his mouth to salivate, the food that Li Chen cook was really delicious, he was definitely talented in that area.

Good, Snow definitely liking him more and more.

Li Chen gently smiled and place the foods in the table,

"Come eat, I specially cook this food for you, I remember you said that you like this vegetable yesterday right? I also found and hunted a deer in the forest this morning, it is a good nourishment for your injured body."

Snow blink his large amber eyes, glancing at the foods on the table, a saute green leaves with piece of other vegetable sprinkle with green onions and a hot soups with deer meat cut into tiny pieces with a bite size vegetables mix on it, a very simple but delicious food.

All taste fresh, healthy foods that come from mother nature, so different from the one in his original life.

Snow showed a very shy smile, amber eyes still calm but the delight that flash on it, couldn't be hidden by Li Chen sharp observation.

Didn't they said that you first have to conquer the men stomach to succeed in chasing someone?

So Li Chen decided to do the warm boiled frog, slowly and patiently treating Xen with gentleness, kindness and warmth, trapping the beautiful boy by his side making it unable to let go and leave him in his entire life.

Because even Li Chen knew that someone like Xen could't be force, it will do more harm than what he wanted, the beautiful boy might be acting like a harmless, shy and just an average looking juvenile at the moment but Li Chen wouldn't be fooled by it.

It might be because he was the boy savior that Xen is currently treating him well with a bit of trust but Li Chen knew that the boy is not a simple character.

Li Chen has already saw a part of the boy before, he was very calm, determined, unyielding, with decisive and ruthless decision but Xen was also someone that could be gentle, kind and protective.

There is also the problem of Xen current identity because he was not definitely a simple person.

From his appearance and reaction, the boy was definitely being hunted by someone and definitely wanted the boy death just by his injuries alone.

The injured place on the boy body was a move determined to take his life away.

"Its very delicious."

A clear and melodious sound pass on his ear, causing a slight inch on it, deep black eyes blink before smiling gentle before placing a piece of green vegetable on the boy rice bowl.

"I cooked a lot, you should eat more."

Snow blink as he stare on the piece of vegetable place on his bowl for a second before a ting of pink emerge on his white cheeks, shy amber eyes glancing toward him before placing a food to the man bowl too, quickly lowering his head for a little bit but his long eyelashes fluttering in an uncertain and nervous way.

"You too."

Li Chen just gentle smile like a real gentlemen before gracefully putting the green vegetable that Snow has given him into his mouth, slowly chewing with a very normal expression on his face.

Snow couldn't help but secretly roll his eyes, he know that the man is definitely happy.

But inside, Snow couldn't help but feel a thrill with playing around with the man, he never known that it was quite fun playing as a beauty.

He never got a chance to do it in his original life since unfortunately he has an average look with his appearance.

Snow couldn't help but wonder, how did Rei like him in the past? Snow was definitely not a beauty and he knew that his personality is definitely not that great.

Its not like he has low- self esteem but Snow know himself very well.

So it was quite a mystery.

.

Another days later, its been 5 days since he stayed with Li Chen and another person appeared before them and stayed.

It was Li Chen servant, a middle age woman called Autumn and this servant wasn't just a simple person and she carries great secret regarding the identity of the original Li Chen that the Earthling Li Chen was currently using.

Yes, Li Chen has the same name of the one he is currently residing.

Snow wasn't worried about Autumn, specially when it comes toward Li Chen, the secret she was hiding wasn't a harmful one.

Snow couldn't help but sigh, as he raised his head to stare at the twinkling star in the sky for a few more minutes, before a small slender hand slowly remove his blue outer garment leaving a white thin inner garment just on his body.

Small tender feet slowly walked toward on the hot spring before him while by passing the bamboo trees around it.

Snow let out a content sigh as he submerge his thin and slender small body reaching until his slightly curve but thin waist on the hot water before leaning his back to a large rock as he sit down, the water reaching toward his c.h.e.s.t.

The current scenery were definitely beautiful and charming, the beautiful young boy submerge in water with fair complexion, his white skin tinging with pink color from the hot temperature and causing his large amber eyes a slightly wet look. His thin white garment sticking on his body greatly outlining his slender figure, along with his ink long hair pasting on his neck toward his cheeks before spreading in the water.

The picture of a very alluring and beautiful young boy.

"Snow the man is currently hiding 10 meter behind you. He uses the skill on his system so you won't be able to detect his presence normally."

Snow lower his head, hiding his amber eyes at it flash a smile quickly when he heard Flake reminder on his mind, there's no need to worry about him... besides we really need his help right now.

It's obvious that Li Chen wasn't here just to watch him peep as Snow take a bath on a hot spring, then Snow felt a burning and fierce eyesight running up and down his body a few second later.

... Well, Li Chen was not here to only watch him take a bath since right now, it was quite dangerous time for Snow.

And Li Chen knew all about it because of the help of his system.

A few second later Snow amber eyes immediately widen before braising himself.

Here it comes!

Then Snow felt it.

Pain, unimaginable pain begun spreading all over his entire body.

Before long he felt his entire body turning cold to the point of freezing despite being submerge in a hot water, the feeling of numerous small ants biting all over his body along with the torturous pain was enough to cause him to faint while screaming for it to stop.

Snow arms quickly wrapped around his body, bowing his head but his back still remain straight as he bit his small pink lip hard enough that it started bleeding.

It seemed that he has underestimated the problem this time around.

He forgot that the body he is currently using wasn't his original one, where the endurance was extraordinary.

Even his thinking process was slightly affected, it was not as good as his own original life, the original Xen was really smart that Snow was not able to detect early on about the other issue on using another person body, Snow current thinking process is slightly different from the ideas and plan of his original one, Snow was affected by the body attitude in certain way without him knowing about it.

Maybe his current body affected a certain plan of him from the start, specially when it comes toward Li Chen, when Snow was someone that could work by himself alone if he wanted to just like before in his past life?

However, right now he doesn't have time to think more about it because right now he need to handle this Hidden Illness plaguing on his current body called Cold Poison.

Once in every month, the original Xen has to survive the torturous suffering and agony that will made one wish for death along with the freezing cold tormenting on his body.

Not only was it painful, once the person with Cold Poison decided to give up, their heart will automatically stop beating up, causing them death.

And every year, the pain is promoted as it get higher and higher.

With no determination and unyielding will, Xen should have died long time ago.

And its has been 5 years that the Original Xen was experiencing this tortured Cold Poison.

Although he knew inside that it was really hard experience but it is also the reason why Snow has underestimated this Illness because in his mind if Xen can do it, then why couldn't he do it too?

And currently it was more dangerous than ever before, because his current body was still injured.

The original Xen was already having a hard time enduring the cold poison during the years, that there was time that Xen had wanted to really give up and be done with it.

And now that it was Snow turn, it just so happen that his body was still injured.

Snow eyes started to blurred, thin body shaking from pain while tasting the blood on his mouth at the same time but, despite it all, Snow mind remain calm as he wait for someone action.

Come... let me see how you will act this time around.

Allies or Enemies, which one will you be, Snow wonder.

He will gamble on it.

If you hesitate and use different action, letting me be disappointed in you then... don't blame me for being ruthless!

You might be useful in my plan, and a very good allies at that but Snow can survive even without him by his side!

A cold glint flash on Snow amber eyes before losing his consciousness.
