Sheng Huo bent down and picked up the ring. He rolled it around his hands as he went over his recently recovered memories.
He murmured affectionately, "Wei Xiao."
Yes. He was able to remember all of his past lives. The memories rushed past and he could remember every detail within each life. Every kiss, every word, every touch, every smile, every laughter, every tear that fell, every hug he could remember every moment they had shared together. He could also remember... Remember the pain that came with each departing.
Every time he kissed Wei Xiao, he would insert his soul essence inside of him subconsciously. It would fortify Wei Xiao's soul a little and create a bond between them, so he would know where Wei Xiao was. The day he lost Wei Xiao, he sat on the beach and stared off into the distance. He also met Si Wang that time as well, but that time Si Wang had just regained his consciousness. All he did was sneer at him before leaving. Sheng Huo walked into the shores by their villa, leaving foot prints in the sand as he went further. He walked deeper and deeper until his figure disappeared underneath the waves and surface of the water.
That was where Long Zixi's life diminished. Because he was not an inhabitant of the world and had only come into the world after suffering grave injuries, once he died his soul returned into his personal space. He was running on very low energy but instead of going to a random world, he followed after the his soul essence that he could faintly feel. He willingly gave up what very little energy he had to follow after Wei Xiao's soul. He did not have the energy to think or feel after sacrificing his energy and went onto 'autopilot' mode.
The next time he regained a bit of his consciousness was after Sairi died. He stayed unmoved in the same spot for days, the body behind him started to smell but he didn't care. He cried his heart out, then he saw Si Wang standing in front of him. This time he not only leered at his misfortune, he taunted Sheng Huo, "Hehe. Isn't this just... tragic?"
"Mmm... It wasn't quite enough, you know?"
Sheng Huo snapped, he set down Sairi gently onto the ground and charged at Si Wang. He extended his claws and swung a gaping arc at Si Wang, but he hit nothing but air. The other gave out a ridiculing smile and disappeared. After Sheng Huo laid Sairi to rest on the makeshift bed and returned to the city. He set his affairs straight and informed his adopted son before he returned to the cave. He laid next to the love of his life and let his life slip away. The soul essence signal was a little more noticeable because he had done the same thing in this world. He quickly chose the same option again to follow and gave up his energy. So once more, he was set onto 'auto-pilot' and his consciousness fell asleep to recuperate.
The third time he woke up, it was after the realization that the love of his life was never going to wake up. He had opened his eyes to see a beloved angel in front of him. He reached out his hand and touched their face. Expecting the other to flutter their lashes and open their eyes to peer at him, he placed his hand on the other's cheek.
His's eyes opened and he pulled his hand back. He looked at his hand in confusion, the other person was... cold.
He outstretched his arm and hand once more, just to make sure that what he had felt the first time was correct. The moment he made contact with that now stiff skin, his fingers trembled and his eyes started to water. He murmured, "Allen?"
