Star Crossed In Time - Chapter 207

I tilt the cup back and forth as I slowly nod my head saying “I take it you’re the one who let Jiang out?” Mogui shakes his head and says “Actually, no. I only found out after he went missing and that’s when he summoned Hundun. Hundun then told me about you.”

“I could have locked Jiang back up then but I needed him to bring you to me without the Deity knowing.” He summons a cup similar to mine and takes a sip of the blue liquid as he watches me with a blank face.

I look up to Hundun but he still stands behind the chair with his head down. He won’t even look at me… I look back to Mogui and ask “Why am I here?” He gives me a slight smirk and says “Hundun told me you were smart… I need you to receive something for me.”

I don’t have time for this shit… I grit my teeth in annoyance as I say “I’m sorry but I’m a little busy at the moment. Maybe after I’m done taking care of my stuff, I can come back and help you then.” Mogui’s smile grows ever so slightly as he says “I’m afraid that won’t do.”

He lifts the cup and it disappears as he says “The blood I’ve given just now will slowly kill you unless I remove it.” I smirk and nod my head but it’s lacking any real humor as I say “So the rock wasn’t poisonous at all? That was all a load of shit?”

Mogui watches me calmly and says “No, they aren’t.” I look back over to Hundun and say “We’re contracted. How could you screw me over like this?” Hundun keeps his head down as Mogui says “You two don’t have a contract.”

I frown in confusion as Mogui continues to say “You made a contract with your blood but did you actually give him any?” My mind races with my heart as I clench my teeth. Mogui leans back in the chair and says “The mark he placed on the back of your neck is mine. That’s why you can survive down here. That and your unique constitution.”

Hah… I was really played like an idiot… and mark? Did I have a freaking mark!? I stare at the two of them with growing anger but with my powers being locked away by something on my ankle, I was in no position to fight.

I sigh and say “I take it was also you who gave Jiang the summoning spell and the damn thing on my ankle?” Mogui slightly nods his head and says “I gave it to someone who then gave it to him.” I scoff and ask “Are you working with Eli as well?” Mogui narrows his eyes and says “Don’t insult me, woman. You’re only here because I need YOU to get something I can’t.”

“And if I get this ‘something’, will you take the blood back and allow me to leave?” I ask with irritation but he just ignores it and says “I will do one even better. If you retrieve the item I need, not only will I call the blood back, I’ll also bring my other brother, Swiwang, back here and sever his contract with the man Eli. I’ll also make it to were no Demon will be able to make a contract with the man.”

Huh… that’s not so bad but I really can’t trust anything from him or Hundun. My mind races and even though he’s “asking” he’s really not giving me a choice. “I have your word then?” I ask looking at his eerie white eyes.

He slowly begins to smile as he says “You have my word.” I slowly stand up and lift the cup out. I tilt the cup over and pour the blue liquid out onto the ground as I say “Then let’s get this over with. Like I said before, I’m busy.”

Mogui snaps his finger and not only does the cup disappear, the mess on the floor does as well. “Very good. Hundun, you’ll go with her and keep her safe. Contact me if anything happens.” Hundun nods his head and says “Understood” He then turns around and quickly says “Follow me”

I grit my teeth in anger and follow behind the traitor. Before I even take five steps, a strange energy is felt and our surroundings quickly disappear.

Everything’s dark… scratch that, it’s pitch black! I can’t see anything! I slowly reach to my side but suddenly, there’s light. Hundun stands a few feet in front of me holding a glowing, blue orb of some kind.

He lightly tosses the orb up and it softly lights up the surrounding area in a blue hue. I look around us and from what I can see, it looks like we’re in a cave? I look back to Hundun and glare at him. He clears his throat and says “Don’t give me that look. You’d do the same thing if it was your family.”

I scoff at him and say “If you had just come to me and asked me kindly, I would have helped! Instead, you tricked me, you lied to me and you deceived me!” He runs his hands through his red hair and says “Okay, I never actually lied to you. I did trick you and deceive you but I never lied.”

I throw my hands up and say “It’s pretty much the same damn thing! Do you have any idea how worried everyone’s gonna be!? Also, do you really think Bai Lei won’t come here to look for me?” Hundun lets out a large sigh and says “For your sake, I hope he doesn’t. He can’t stay down here long enough to search for you and with my brother’s mark, he won’t be able to sense you down here.”

I’m so freaking angry, I stomp over to him. He lifts his hands in a defensive manner and quickly steps back saying “Calm down Nova! I’m sorry I hid things from you but this was important! We can still be friends!”

“Friends my ȧss, you traitor!” I yell and lunge at him. He yells and tries to hold me back but I latch onto his arm and bite down like a mad dog! He yells out in pain and says “Have you lost your damn mind!? Release me!” I can tell he wants to hit me but he holds back and tries to pull his arm away.

I reach for the “unholy” zone, aka, ‘weewee’ but he quickly jerks back, making both of us fall. I lose my bite on him as his back hits the ground. I land on top of him and start swinging. “Nova! Dammnit! Stop!” He yells through gritted teeth as he grabs my arms.

Breathing hard, I sit on top of him as I glare down at him with fire in my eyes. He holds both of my wrists as he says “We both know who’s gonna win, Nova. Enough…” His words only serve to piss me off even more!

I quickly lean down and bite down on his ċhėst. He screams out in pain and releases my arms. I quickly reach down and grab his hair on both sides of his head. He tries to turn over to throw me off but I hold on like a damn monkey and bite down harder.

I begin pulling his hair with all my might and smile when I hear him scream like a little girl. He grabs both my hands and tries to pull them away but while he’s distracted, I bring my knee up and hit him in his jewels. He makes a tiny squeak noise before crumbling in pain.

I spit him out and rip out two handfuls of red hair before quickly stumbling to my feet. He holds his crotch, face down, buŧŧ up in the air as he struggles to breathe. I quickly try to catch my breath as I look down at him with a cold glare.

“You’re lucky I’m on a tight schedule. Stop being such a baby. Let’s go.” I say turning to walk away but then I remember the hair. “Ah, this is yours,” I say walking over to him. He flinches and tries to crawl away but he doesn’t get far.

I stop before him and lift both my hands out to him before releasing the hair. He looks on in horror and quickly reaches up to the sides of his head, feeling for bald spots. I sneer at him and say “You aren’t bald yet but I’ll let you know that the last bastard who got on my bad side lost all his hair, even his eyebrows! Let’s go.”
