Soul Karmas (BL)

Chapter 7: Oh, It's Quite Fun Being a Beauty!

"Let's change your bandages and I have to apply for 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 which appeared to be undecided on what to do causing Snow to show also show a confused and doubtful expression.

"What's wrong?"

Li Chen silently stares at him with a rather complex look, which makes Snow more confused than ever before a large wide palm has suddenly touched his left pale cheek before a slender but rough thumb has gently glide over on the red tear marked under Snow amber eye.

"Did you forget that you are a fair?"

Snow has blinked and another one before his tiny mouth has slightly opened up because he was suddenly enlightened about the reason why is Li Chen was currently acting awkward the entire time and has also caused Snow to become simply speechless about the whole ordeal.

"I forgot." Yes, Snow has forgotten, 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 reasons why Snow didn't think about his physical body's current gender and was more treating himself as an absolute Male because of his previous life.

Since it is Snow's first time on using a client body, although he comprehends that there will be side effects but its completely different if he was currently experiencing about having two memories combine within his mind, especially when the original client in one way or another was affecting him more.

As a Granter, Snow will experience and feel the same life that the client lives their lives so far, thus making it far easier on establishing the connection into it while at the same time, hindering them in their mission if they forgot their true self.

And it makes it far harder when the client has a rather higher spiritual attribute than the Granter themselves because that person will be having a hard time retaining a part of their real self, and will be controlled by the emotions of the original client which can easily cause them to fail.

It going to be a complete challenge, hardship and basically a hurdle for a Granter in every mission worlds, which makes it interesting to Snow though every time that he will resist it while being annoyed too at the same time.

"How could you forgot?"

Suddenly Snow has gotten back from his thoughts when a slender finger glide over one more time on his red tear marked before it was removed reluctantly while he didn't miss the way when those dark ink eyes flash in unwillingness.

Although, Snow just acted that he didn't see it and has glances sideways, while at the same time disregarding the slightly unusual and ambiguous move of the man before him.

"... it has 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 lived a very relax and happy life.

After all the original client brothers have died, leaving only him and his second brother only son to have each other to protect, the original client's life has turned extremely difficult since he was given a heavy responsibility to carry on which was something that he could not refuse and run away from.

And a fair person was basically being treated with extreme care the most, because they are all born beautiful in a certain way and also tend to be talented in the mystic arts while the children that were born from them have always turned into talented and skilled children, thus regarding them as a treasured people to be protected and care for.

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

However, the original client couldn't afford to be soft, weak and delicate because, in the entire history of the Rong Dynasty, Xen was the most conflicting existence of a fair person.

After all, the original owner was the present Regent King in the Rong Dynasty since the current emperor was still a young child, only 11 years old and he has been doing the work as the Regent for four long years already.

And in the would-be future, the Regent death was the Catalyst of the Rong Dynasty chaotic future, and the sole reason why the Young Emperor has died so quickly in a few months, after all, there was no one that was protecting the vulnerable Young Emperor anymore.

No matter how wise, gifted and talented the Young Emperor might be, he was still defeated by the surrounding enemies that wanted his throne even when he fought back desperately and crazily.

And yes, the Young Emperor is simply 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 remembered in the later generations for years to come.

However it was all lost in the original track of life, but now that Snow was here, it will all change one way or another.

And this young man before him will be the greatest allies that could help them in their current situation, Li Chen has the ability because he was able to eliminate the people who have killed the original owner and the Young Emperor, before becoming the new Emperor after he won the fighting.

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 a white bandage with a ting of red blood already drenching upon it.

In which has cause Li Chen eyes to flash in distressed, especially when he was able to discern on how thin the young man's body really is, yet, only indifferent amber eyes met his.

"It doesn't matter, I have to cure my body the best I can since I have to leave in 14 days because I really cannot stay for too long."

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

Besides, the original client has long become indifferent when it concerns all about himself because from the start, Xen was only trying to live a bit more longer until the Young Emperor was able to fully grasp the full power and authority that he has, while completely removing all their enemies the best of his capability while still alive.

Xen was betting his entire being for his nephew and the country, what pushed him to keep going on was his duty as a Royal Family and responsibility and love to his only remaining relative that cares about his well being, which is unfortunately only the Young Emperor who worries over him.

Soon, Snow has suddenly smile gently toward li Chen, his indifferent amber eyes turning gentle.

"You are 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 living on, thus having the power and more time to protect my beloved nephew. And just knowing that is already enough for me to know that I could trust you."

I don't know the reason why you have saved my life.

And no matter who you are.

Good or Evil and no matter what kind of past that you may have...

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

The entire time, Li Chen just silently stares straight into the young man's amber eyes, his emotion completely hidden, and after a few moments of trying to figure out if the young man was lying or being sincere, a smile has suddenly shown on his handsome face.

And with a nod of his head, Li Chen has firmly and seriously begun to apply the ointment medicine on every single injury on the young man delicately thin body, the entire time, there was no other bad and irrelevant thought has cross his mind since he was professionally just doing his job.

After finishing wrapping a new clean bandage on the young man's body, where most of the injuries were, Li Cheng has gently pulled the green upper garment in a loose way in order to not aggravate the young man's injuries.

"Rest for now, I'll promise to cure you quickly with the best of my ability."

Soon, he helped the young man to lay down on the bed while he was able to tell that the medicine that he has also given for him to swallow before has already started taking its effects since the young man ambers eyes were already closing from drowsiness.

Gently covering the young man with the quilt, Li Chen has stood up while taking the dirty and bloody bandages, although he couldn't help but stare at the sleepy young man for a few seconds before deciding to walk away, however, he couldn't help but stop when he heard a soft and sleepy voice reaching his ears.

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

Suddenly turning around to take a glance at the obviously sleeping young man in the bed with a deep gaze, a gentle smile has slowly appeared on Li Chen's handsome face.

"Sleep well, Little Xen."

Soon the sound of the door closing has sounded out before soft steady breathing echoed out around the silent room.

And then a few days later, Snow was currently sitting outside while his large amber eyes were curiously watching the busy Li Chen that was currently cooking their food for today's lunch, which was in the open area.

While the entire time, Snow just acted clueless and ignorant on the way that Li Chen was secretly glancing on his direction repeatedly for quite a while now.

In the past three days, Snow has been used by Li Cheng increasing attention to himself, although the man was being subtle on his actions but Snow wasn't completely clueless about it, although it was a bit interesting to experience such manner.

Because of his original life, Rei has been quite ignorant and naive with his feelings, so this was truly the first time that someone has taken a liking to him in that certain way, after all, rather than people liking Snow, they tend to admire and fear him more.

Although if Snow was the original Xen right now, the original client will never know and get the meaning of Li Chen actions and glances, oh it was not because he was quite ignorant and pure about it, the reason was that in the original client subconscious mind, there was this certain belief that no one will genuinely like him.

And it was quite a negative opinion too for a beautiful person to consider, especially for a fair person but there was a reason for it though.

It was the cause of an event in the past that transpired after he became the Regent King of the Rong Dynasty and the following occurrence that he experiences after that, especially when he was not being treated as a fair person, so those have just keep piling up that he considers that thought as absolute truth.

Although Snow understands what has caused the original Xen to become that way he just felt indifferent to the entire ordeal, Oh, the client was definitely strong but he was also quite fragile inside.

Snow will just have to respect the original client and nothing more, soon after a few minutes later, he was finally able to detect the delicious meal that Li Chen has cooked, which Snow couldn't help but secretly salivate from the wonderful smell alone.

This person is definitely a person that is talented in the kitchen which causes Snow to like him more and more, while outside, he remains the same while watching as Li Chen gently smiles toward him before placing the foods in the table.

"Little Xen let's eat, I specially cook this food for you. Didn't you tell me before that you like this vegetable yesterday? So I made it once again. Oh, I also found and hunted a deer in the forest this morning, it will be good nourishment on your injuries."

Snow just nods his head before gazing at the dishes on the table, there was the saute green leaves of the sweet potatoes, then mix healthy vegetables with a slice of meat on it and a bowl of hot soup with green onion on top which has dear meat that was cut in tiny pieces, a very simple but delicious healthy food.

All fresh and taste delicious that come from mother nature, entirely different in taste from the one on his original life.

Then before he began to eat, Snow has shown a shy smile to Li Chen, his amber eyes tried to remain calm only for a delight expression to flash over it, which was something that Li Chen that has been deeply observing him the entire time has caught.

Didn't they once say that you first have to conquer the men's 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 young man to his side and making this person unable to let go and leave him alone anymore on his entire life.

As for why Li Chen has used this kind of planned rather than showing a domineering act, even he could tell that his Little Xen is a person that couldn't be forced, rather than doing good, it will do Li Chen more harm if he decided to seize this person directly.

Besides, Little Xen 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 young man savior that Little Xen is currently treating him kindly with a bit of trust but Li Chen knew that this person is not a simple person.

Li Chen has already seen a part of the young man's real self from before, this person has been very calm, determined, unyielding, with the decisive and ruthless decision in every action he has taken, although he could also turn gentle, kind and extremely protective.

There is also the problem of Xen's current identity in which he doesn't have any idea who the young man truly is, from his appearance and reaction alone, the young man was definitely being hunted down by his enemies that especially wanted him desperately dead, it showed on how grave the injuries that Li Chen has tried to heal.

Every injury he saw was meant to take this person's life away.

"It's very delicious."

Suddenly a clear and melodious sound reaches Li Chen's ear causing him to get back on his attention while his ears felt a bit itchy from the voice he just heard, yet, he appeared normal the entire time before gently placing a piece of green vegetable on his Little Xen rice bowl.

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

Snow silently gaze at the piece of vegetable that was placed on his bowl for a few seconds before a ting of pink emerge on his white cheeks, while shy amber eyes glancing toward Li Chen figure before finally placing meat to the man rice bowl.

Seemingly embarrassed of what he has done, Snow has quickly looked down while his long eyelashes fluttering in an uncertain and nervous way causing a certain someone to be shot directly on his heart with the adorable scene he just witness.

"You too."

Although Li Chen just showed a gentle smile, the feeling he truly feels isn't showing from the outside one bit, before gracefully putting the piece of meat that his Little Xen has given into his mouth before calmly chewing with a very normal expression on his face.

And Snow that has completely known about what is truly going on in the man's mind has inwardly roll his eyes however inside, Snow couldn't help but feel a slight thrill with playing around with Li Chen, he has never known that it was quite fun playing as beauty too, after all, he has an average look in the original life.

Even Snow couldn't help but wonder about 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.

It's not like he has low- self-esteem but Snow knows himself very well.

So it was quite a mystery.

However, another day has passed by once again, in which another person has suddenly arrived back and stayed with them.

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

Although Snow wasn't really worried about Autumn since the secret that she was hiding wasn't a harmful one to Li Chen's life.

"... hm... tonight sure look especially beautiful..."

As Snow stood outside without any single people around, he couldn't help but release a heavy sigh after gazing at the twinkling star in the night sky before slowly raising his small slender hand to gradually removed his blue outer robe and leaving a white thin inner garment on his body.

Before small tender feets walked over toward the hot spring just a few distances away from him while bypassing the bamboo trees around it

And when Snow submerges his thin and slender body, he couldn't stop the content sigh to escape his lip before leaning his back over to a large rocked when the hot water has reach over his slight curve but thin waist and finally decided to sit down that the water has reached over his chest.

Right now, the scenery was definitely something that came out from a painting, beautiful and charming.

As the beautiful young man with a charming appearance has submerged his naked body in the hot water, causing his fair complexion to become flush in lovely pink color while his large amber eyes showed a misty look.

While the white inner robes have clung to his entire body and greatly outlining his slender figure, and at the same time, his long black ink hair attached to his slender neck and flush cheeks before spreading in the hot water. 

It was a picture of a very alluring and beautiful young man taking a bath in a moonlight night.

"Snow~ Li Chen is hiding 10 meters behind you while using the skill of his system in order to hide his presence."

Snow has casually lowered his head, while his amber eyes flashing in amusement hearing Flake reminder on his mind, while unbothered at the man hiding in the dark because Snow will need his help later on.

Besides, it's obvious that Li Chen wasn't here just to peep while Snow takes a bath on the hot spring only to turn silent when Snow felt a burning and fierce gaze running up and down his body after pondering those words.

Well... what can Snow do... the man shamelessness knows no bounds, but somehow, he doesn't felt any disgust on Li Cheng gaze so he just let it go for now.

Besides, Snow also knew the reason why Li Chen has followed him to this location because it is a dangerous time for Snow today.

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

A few seconds later Snow amber eyes immediately widen before braising himself up when he senses it coming.

Then Snow felt it.

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

And before long Snow felt his entire body turning cold to the point of freezing despite being submerged in a hot water, which is followed with the feeling of numerous small ants biting all over his body along with the torturous pain that can even make a strong-willed person to scream for help.

However, Snow just quickly wrapped his arms around his shaking body while bowing his head and bitting his pink lip hard enough that it has started bleeding, but despite all the unimaginable pain, Snow back has remained straight and unbent.

But at the same time, Snow seemed to also underestimate the problem this time, when he has forgotten that the body that he is using wasn't his original one where the endurance was extraordinary.

Before finally noticing that his thinking process was also affected when he was using the body of his client.

It was not as good as his own original life, the original Xen was really smart that Snow was a bit late in detecting the other issue of using another person's body.

Maybe Snow body has affected a certain plan of his from the start, especially when it concerns Li Chen because Snow was a person that could deal with the problem alone without anyone's help.

Although he was also a person that will use anything and anyone that will make it far easier and faster for what he wanted if he could, so maybe he isn't much affected?

It is truly confusing.

However, right now Snow doesn't have the time to further think about it because he needed to handle the Hidden Illness that has been plaguing the body of the original client which is called Cold Poison.

Once a day every month, the original Xen has been surviving the attack of the Cold Poison that constantly wrecked his entire body, where a person would wish for death to finally end the torment that he is experiencing.

Because not only was the Cold Poison extremely painful in unimaginable level, once the person with Cold Poison lost their will to live, then the poison will cause the person's heart to automatically stop beating up, leading the victim to die.

And every year, the pain is promoted as it gets higher and higher, so with no great determination and unyielding will, Xen should have died a long time ago.

And it has been 5 years that the Original Xen was experiencing this suffering and torture.

So, Snow who has the memories of the original client has underestimated the poison because in his mind if Xen can do it, then why couldn't he do it too?

And it has been a mistaken view, especially when it was far more dangerous than ever today because Snow body was still injured.

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

And now that it was Snow turned, well, he now can tell and perceived the desperation of the original client of wanting to live despite how nightmarish the poison attack felt like.

Soon, Snow's eyes started to blur while his thin body has been shaking nonstop from the unimaginable pain while he was able to taste the blood on his mouth however despite it all, Snow's mind remains calm while he waits for a person next action.

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

Allies or Enemies, which one will you be, Snow wonder as he gambles with his well being.

If you hesitate and use a different approach while letting me become completely disappointed in you then... don't blame me for being ruthless!

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

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