The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time (BL)

Away from towns and villages, Purple worriedly flew around the person carelessly sleeping on the ground, uncaring about the grasses, leaves, and branches he was laying with. The usually graceful and elegant dusty figure couldn't be seen.     

The clothes are messy, the long hair hasn't been taken care of for a long time, and even the face is smeared with mud and dirt.     

It was already a week after they left the Chang Capital, and during the entire time, it was Purple that had been babysitting the obviously mentally ill young man.     

Yes, mentally ill.     

After waking up from the unconsciousness when dealing with the dangerous aura they collided with, the severe effect had only started appearing after the three days of nonstop traveling, which in Purple's opinion is just his partner's unconscious thought of getting farther away from the Chang Capital.     

The place where Mama bug is.     

Fortunately, the young man still had enough reason to change his appearance after a short stop in the nearest town they passed by before the severe effect had finally hit them hard.     

Non-stop headache, utter confusion, uncontrollable emotions, and violent urge, are the normally known symptoms Purple had seen during the entire week. Fortunately, aside from sudden weakness, he didn't feel and notice anything else that affected him.     

And Purple had understood that the situation with the young girl was extremely serious enough that even the Chang Spirit put into a deep sleep was disturbed. From the special connection he got to the Chang Spirit, he felt it struggled to wake up, only speaking a few broken words before returning to its weakened state.     

"... Disturbing something bad and the Greatest Taboo, huh?"     

Purple softly murmured with an extremely worried expression on his face, since he remembered all those images with various scenarios after he was also pulled into unconsciousness a few seconds after the young man lost his consciousness.     

"Should I feel lucky you didn't completely become crazy or turned into a fool?"     

Or died.     

Purple gently patted the young man's cheek sleeping on the ground, not showing any reaction to the touch on his cheek, completely dead to the world.     

Special or not, a mere mortal shouldn't be able to even know the future, much less take a glimpse about the various futures that should or should already have happened. Especially when it's quite obvious that there are other futures or parallel worlds out there aside from where they are.     

As a special being, Purple had certain knowledge, so he wasn't surprised by what he learned and didn't doubt it one bit. Especially when he felt the similar limitation and regulations pressing heavily upon them when they were seeing those images.     

It was quite similar to what Purple felt when he was warned about the rules, limitations, and regulations he needed to follow after being born. Well, more likely, staying deep into the young man's soul while they travel back in time.     

He is the dragon born from the heavenly purple aura and the great karma accumulated by the Emperor of the Chang Empire in that future. Thus, he isn't allowed to harm the people living in the land of the Empire he was born with.     

Yes, he had assisted his host in dealing with those who had ambushed the young man's older brother before, but, directly harming them? He couldn't do it, and if he does, there is a severe punishment waiting for him.     

There is always taboo in any situation and what the two of them glimpsed off was one of them.     

Thus the cause of the young man's situation at the moment, in which his mind had been damaged. Purple even felt the young man's soul had been stressed and exhausted by what happened.     

So, it wasn't just because they saw the different scenarios of how Ren Yuan died by a different version of 'Shao Cheng' and wasn't caused by purely emotional matters that the young man's mentality isn't right.     

And yet, Purple couldn't help but think of the young girl they left behind in the Chang Capital and wondered how she could have such ability. Even his partner couldn't handle taking a glimpse of certain futures or should-be futures despite being extremely special.     

And the only existence he could ask for had been returned back into a deep sleep once again.     

So, here they are, traveling around places, trying to fix the damage done to the young man's mind and soul by going to places with a heavily blessed aura in the Chang Empire. Sometimes, it was on a certain mountain that people traveled little, sometimes, in a simple village, or in a river, that almost caused his partner to drown again.     

Fortunately, Purple can easily and freely touch the young man and could pull him back to the dry land.     

Although there isn't any special or unusualness in the places they visited, but, Purple knew that somewhere in the future, those places will have something special on them or some important people would be born, becoming helpful to the Chang Empire.     

"... Big Brother Purple… will Papa bug turn normal soon?"     

Purple blinks his purple eyes before turning to Gold, the only animal that had come along with their sudden travel since he had been acting as a bracelet the whole time.      

Fortunately, the young man still keeps some instinct and remembers that the baby snake is part of their group, or else, the young man with an abnormal, unpredictable mood and attitude a long time ago has killed Goldy.     

"Ah, it might take a bit while. It would have been faster to heal him if we stayed in the Sacred Mountain or in the Capital."     

It's one of the many places with a heavenly aura in the Chang Empire, one is the center of the Empire, while the other is where the generations of High Priestess stayed.     

Unfortunately, the Chang Capital is taboo to the young man at the moment, while there is a dangerous person who should become their enemy in the future staying in the Sacred Mountain.     

And with how the young man's state is, there is no way Purple would let him stay in the Sacred Mountain, even if there is the young high priestess watching over them. Despite Jiayi being far more powerful than the present High Priestess, there is no denying how little her authority is compared to her Master.     

"Oh… well, I'll protect Papa bug from danger until he gets better!"     

"Such a good boy! You are doing well, Goldy! Don't worry, our Papa bug will reward you when everything is alright!"     

"Um."     

Purple couldn't help but sigh at how easily coaxed his youngest sibling is, before turning to the quiet young man sleeping on the ground and feeling how the new place they found with a blessed aura is slowly repairing whatever damage his partner received.     

Fortunately, Purple existence is made with the heavenly aura, causing the young man to become obedient and follow his words instead of being ignored or receiving a violent attack, which happened during their travels to other unfortunate people.     

Of course, those people with bad intentions had received the most violent reactions the most, even if the young man's consciousness wasn't clear all the time as he wandered around the places, his instinct and senses still worked out well.     

"Papa bug, what would Mama Bug think if he saw you now."     

Purple couldn't help but eye the young man's disguise, which became a bit delicate but the depravity and gloom in the eyebrows would make people ignore his appearance. Of course, the breath of violence that sometimes appears around him would cause people to turn their attention away from how he looks.     

There is also the fact that, despite it all, the young man looks like a proper beggar with his unkempt appearance. There is also the constant wine jar the young man carries around, which somehow can calm his violent urge whenever he drinks, something Purple finds ironic.     

After all, alcohol usually makes people lose control, and yet, it's the complete opposite for the young man.     

Well, it's far better than the young man still keeping his unparalleled ice beauty that could easily cause them more trouble, especially with the state the young man has. After all, Purple can't let Goldy keep biting the people that manage to get close by.     

They already left a certain reputation, thinking that the young man is from the river and lake after escaping with the light move and also a deadly poison expert on how the people look when they died.     

"Sigh… Papa bug sure is troublesome."     

But who made you the person my previous Mama Bug wanted to protect the most?     

While Purple and Gold are busy traveling with the obviously mentally ill Shao Cheng. In a certain place, which was in the opposite direction, a beautiful woman dressed in black is gripping a young man's white robe with a threatening air around her.     

And standing to the side, well, guarding the door to the room of the inn they are staying in, a young man dressed in similar black clothes curiously and interestingly watches the two figures.     

"Tell me where my beautiful cousin is."     

And Pengfei who had received a request to keep a certain Icy friend of his location unknown a few days ago before the messages between them had been cut off couldn't help but swear at how unlucky he is.     

After all, there is an important situation he needs to personally deal with, and needed to leave the Chang Capital, so he figures to once again use 'Shao Cheng' disguise to run around fooling the people keeping an eye out where the young man is, only to be found by his icy friend personal guard.     

And she also took someone along with her too.     

Fortunately, the two of them already know each other, and the woman should also know not to reveal what he is really up to. Especially when that young man standing on the side is subordinate to his Lord's special friend, even Pengfei knew not to let that man know what was really happening.     

Of course, he couldn't hide who he is since that man already met him before. The man just didn't have any idea what he was really doing with Shao Cheng.     

"Hey, I don't know where my Icy friend is."     

Xixi's eyebrows wrinkle while the sharpness in her eyes increases with irritation bubbling inside her after receiving an answer.     

"Then what the hell are you doing disguising as my beautiful cousin again, huh?"     

Even she knew it wasn't his cousin that came home after her relatives came back to the Sacred Mountain. And she knew it was the same person again acting up as his cousin the moment she cornered him in the room.     

After all, she hasn't been able to corner her cousin for years, and that noble and beautiful aura her cousin has is also gone.     

"It seemed he wanted to be left alone, so he asked me to confuse anyone trying to find where he is. You know how he rarely asks for help, so how could I refuse it?"     

Bullshit, my beautiful and cold cousin is obviously your Master, even though I don't know when and how it happened.     

Xixi takes a deep breath before she slowly lets go of the robe she is holding before violently cranking her hands and swiftly punching the person before her, the pent-up frustration and anxiousness the moment she learns about her cousin suddenly leaving the Capital to wander again cause her to finally snap.     

"Hey! I only have this disguise left! Don't damage it!"     

Do you know how many 'Shao Cheng' prepared, and spread in different places to thoroughly confuse the people that would try to spy on him, huh? This is the only face mask I got left!     

I also planned to use the situation to lure and figure out the people who want to use my icy friend in whatever schemes and motives they got.     

"There is only one person deserving to have this face mask on! And it's my seductive and gorgeous rascal younger brother!"     

"Don't be unreasonable!"     

Pengfei swiftly dodge the punch on his face, already alerted the whole time on the obviously irritated woman after he once again could not fool someone about being the real 'Shao Cheng' toward his icy friend, family, and relative.     

Especially after hearing his icy friend's description about his female cousin being a 'crazy woman', so of course, he got his guard up more than ever.     

Fortunately, the woman is smart enough to figure out that no one should know he was disguised as 'Shao Cheng'.     

Anyway…     

My Icy friend! Why are your family and relatives so unreasonable???
