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

After scouring all over the territory of the Shao fief, Purple and Shao Cheng didn't find a single clue as to where the abnormal atmosphere in the air was coming from. There is also the fact that everything returned to normal like there is nothing amiss the longer the two of them inspect the land.     

The tiniest trace of unusualness leaking into the air had completely disappeared with their arrival.     

If Purple and Shao Cheng were to describe the entire situation, based on what had occurred in the previous life, there seemed to be a certain sickness or disease affecting the supposedly blessed land that should have continued to prosper and flourish further down the future.     

And yet, this land had turned desolate and dead in the previous life, completely causing Purple and Shao Cheng to feel extremely dubious of the previous life's situation after seeing the thick blessed aura in the area now.     

"... Purple, use your power to allow me to remain in the confused state throughout my stay in this territory."     

"Are you sure?"     

"Yeah, at least, I could heal faster if I remain unconscious if I were to do that. Just pull my consciousness out if the situation needs it."     

Perfectly standing at the highest point of a tall mountain, the conscious Shao Cheng deeply gazed at the wide view of the land in which his family had been governing for countless generations, only to be lost.     

The glory that should have prospered and flourished had been lost in Shao Cheng's era.     

Even he was extremely surprised to learn of the fact that the fief of the Shao family shouldn't have turned desolate and deserted in his previous life.     

Having a close relationship and connection to the Chang Empire, especially after being pulled into the mystical world when he remained in a spiritual state after dying, Shao Cheng had learned and figured out some concepts about the mystical power and the powerful auras a few people had known of.     

It's a mysterious power and, despite how he is still learning, he could at least tell that whatever Purple and his unconscious state had detected the moment they stepped foot onto the Shao territory, meant that something is extremely wrong in the land.     

Does this unusual situation have something to do with me?     

And what happened in the previous life was it somehow my fault too?     

After all, Shao Cheng still remembers the fact that his existence isn't affected by fate and destiny.     

It wasn't surprising for Shao Cheng to have such a thought, after all, even he was able to change the rightful sovereign of the Chang Empire, so it shouldn't be surprising if he somehow managed to change the fate of the blessed land as well.     

Based on what he felt in his confused state, there seemed to be some unknown situation he had never learned of in the previous life that had occurred in the last few years of his grandfather's life.     

How did his grandfather die again?     

Shao Cheng jumped down from the tall rock he had been standing on, before sitting down on a fallen log nearby and gently caressing the obedient baby snake on his wrist, which was letting out a happy hissing sound.     

"But Papa bug, why do you want to remain in the confused state?"     

Shao Cheng glanced at the floating Purple before turning his gaze back to the countless mountains and the large expanse of forest with flowing rivers in the far-off distance, along with the villages spread apart from each other at the foot of the mountains.     

His eyes glow purple once in a while, allowing him to expand his range of eyesight, particularly when his soul and mentality are being nourished and healed by the thick blessed aura despite the unusualness they detected.     

Thus causing the connection he had with the entire territory to become stronger and closer. It was like the time when he knew certain details or information about where he was after regaining consciousness in his confused state.     

Where the directions of the villages or town were or unknowingly detecting the danger his beautiful sisters were facing.     

"My existence seemed to have threatened whatever was causing the abnormality."     

Shao Cheng didn't fail to notice the disturbance and reaction in the atmosphere the moment he returned to consciousness.     

"What?"     

Suddenly, Purple felt insulted.     

"How come it felt threatened by your presence and ignored such a noble and magnificent purple dragon???"     

Shao Cheng's lip twitched despite the tiredness and sluggishness he was feeling while he watched the purple dragon rage, seemingly feeling his majesty was being trampled while his pride was being wounded.     

As always, such a dramatic dragon.     

However, since he is feeling a tiny bit in a good mood, he will be nice to this purple dragon, especially after remembering the purple dragon's extremely thoughtful actions toward his three beautiful sisters.     

Shao Cheng is quite sure his three beautiful sisters felt happy about the wonderful and dreamy display of using the birds to shower them with flower petals and gifting a branch of a beautiful red plum blossom tree.     

"You are a special existence, no one should be able to detect your presence."     

Especially when the purple dragon had a strong connection to the Chang Empire, after all, the gold merit of a sovereign during his reign and heaven will purple aura is basically what created Purple's existence.     

"Oh!"     

Shao Cheng inwardly smiled when the purple dragon blinked his purple eyes before swaying in the air with his tail swinging happily, just like a puppy.     

He couldn't help but reach over and gently use his finger to caress the purple dragon's long body, who blinked in a daze, after all, it was the first time he was being touched so gently by his Papa bug, before letting out a proud snort.     

"Mortal, as my Papa bug, I will allow you to touch my magnificent and noble body."     

Despite the purple dragon's words and attitude, Shao Cheng could see the happiness shining in his purple eyes. After a few seconds, he couldn't help but let out an inward sigh, feeling extremely complicated.     

After all, this purple dragon will always remind him of Ren Yuan.     

Shao Cheng buried the countless horrifying and despairing memories that wanted to flash in his mind, instead of trying to forget them, before lowering his hand down.     

"Purple, guide me back to where my sisters are."     

He had to see his grandfather, who he had only taken a glimpse of for a few moments in his previous life because of the short stay in the Shao land for ancestor worship. It was something he had only done in order to hide the fact he is using the original Shao Cheng's body.     

And after two or three years, he stopped going back and had only set up an altar in one of the residences he owned since he had met the 6th Prince, Chang Pei, and was also busy with Huang Ya.     

"I'll be counting on you."     

There is just no time for a break nor peace for Shao Cheng despite his condition and mentality.     

"Of course, you can count on me, Papa bug!"     

"You too, Goldy."     

"Um…  I'll do my best!"     

What a life, Shao Cheng can only trust a purple dragon spirit and the most deadly snake in the entire world.
