Wicked Reincarnation

Outside the house, under the bright daylight, several people in blue were still cleaning up the remnants of yesterday's battle. They washed bloodstains away, scraped intestines off the ground and filled holes. The parts of the house that were destroyed only amounted to minimal damage that was quickly fixed.

The corpses were buried in the forest, not leaving any trace surrounding the peaceful looking house. At the entrance door, the young boy and Lily saw off another female covered in a veil.

They said their goodbyes and whispered words before the female walked out while the young boy and Lily were about to enter their house.

Just at that moment, the female hidden underneath the veil set a foot on the plain land, Lia jumped from the roof and landed in front of her.

Lia still had no idea she was in the way of the female trying to leave. She promptly stood up but her face hit an itchy fabric and she slightly jolted in surprise.

She came face to face with a black veil, however, the female could clearly see Lia's face. Suspicion rose in Lia's heart but she had no time to question this strange encounter as loud shouts appeared.

All indicating to find her. Lia turned but her hand was caught. Alarmed she faced the female again.

"You…" the female's voice had a mix of hesitation, excitement and disbelief. All these emotions wrapped around Lia and made her more curious.

"This is not a dream, right? You're really…?" before the female finished her words, she pulled Lia with her to the house.

Lia tried to free herself but the female voice's stopped her, "Xavi! Lily! Head to a room where no one can disturb us."

The young boy, Xavi and Lily who were about to enter the house when they witnessed the scene between Lia and the female, tilted their heads in question.

"Now! Hurry! This is important!" the female sounded anxious and her pace was rushed. The hand that held Lia slightly trembled.

For some reason, Lia didn't feel any danger and went along. She was curious about the female's behaviour. A vague idea appeared in her heart but she pushed it down, there was no way.

Lia quietly followed behind the trio. If they decided to confine her again, she would just need to escape again. They brought her to a small room under the astonished gazes of the blue attendants. They couldn't chase Lia anymore as Xavi forbid them from touching her.

Once inside the room, the three of them sat down with Lily closing the door after making sure no one eavesdropped outside.

"What's the matter?" Xavi popped a lollipop in his mouth and looked rebellious at this moment. His chubby cheeks moved as he talked.

Lia suddenly felt the urge to touch them, she intensively stared at Xavi's little fat bags without realising he noticed it.

Xavi covered his cheeks and his face turned red. Only then did Lia retract her gaze and moved to the female next to her, "Before you say anything. You both-"

Lia pointed at Xavi and Lily, "For what did you lock me in a room?"

She removed her arm from the female's hold.

"You should be happy young master didn't kill you," Lily glared at Lia.

In return Lia's lips slightly rose, "Kill me for what? Is your young master so naughty he likes to play with people's lives?"

"N-Nau-" Lily refused to finish the word. Her anger was only appeased when Xavi held up his hand and patted Lily's shoulder.

"It's ok. This doesn't bother me."

Lia didn't mind them killing the G family. On the contrary, it was a huge help.

"Ah, the young master seems benevolent enough. His rude servant, despite being older, is less mature than a child."

Two hits with a stone.

"Young master should've killed you! You childish-"

"Are you sure you're speaking for your young master or are you simply using him to state your wishes? Young Master, I didn't know you had such a shameless servant," Lia's lips carried the small smile.

"Young master, please don't listen to her. There's no way I'd-"

"I know," Xavi was at a loss about what to do. This somehow turned into a catfight.

"Really, young master? You're not angry? Please don't be angry, I-" tears threatened to roll from Lily's eyes.

Lia briefly froze. Lily being so obedient and clingy to her master was out of Lia's expectation. Did she maybe go overboard? Did she turn into Noel 2.0?

"I can't be angry with you," Xavi patted Lily's head.

Lily snivelled a few times. Right now, a little kid was coaxing an adult. Lia let them carry on this play of affection for a second before throwing another, "Immature."

However, her words caused more harm and Xavi was overwhelmed with a sobbing Lily.

"I'm sorry, young master, I let you lose face! I'm not worthy of being-"

"Lily, it's alright, don't cry, ok? Please don't," Xavi helplessly waved with his hands in the air.

Lia felt a tad guilty. After Lily considerably calmed down, Lia spoke up again. The female next to Lia was confused by what was going on. She had something important to say but found no time to talk about it.

However, she and Xavi hoped, the instant they saw Lia open her mouth, she would have mercy and spare Lily who was on the verge of breaking down because she was afraid she was a disgrace to her master.

Lia wasn't petty enough to continue stabbing at Lily and only said, "You still haven't answered my question."

Xavi quickly covered Lily's mouth and she aggrieved looked at him before hiding her face in her hands, "Apologies, it was hectic yesterday. I couldn't let you go but you seemed harmless enough not to be an enemy. I only wanted to know your motives. After I sent her off-"

Xavi nodded at the female, "I was going to talk to you."

"I see. So how come the young master is mature and sophisticated than that adult over there?" Lia was indeed petty.

"Young master! I'm sorry, I'm so-waah!" Lily started wailing again.

"I apologise again, so please stop hurting Lily. She has a fragile heart," Xavi once again did his best to coax Lily.

"She seemed pretty fierce to me last night," Lia looked at Lily.

"That… that was because," Lily sobbed, "It was young master's order. I always perfectly carry out young master's orders."

"Is that so?" Lia finally stopped teasing Lily, "Young Master would you like to tell me your age?"

"How can you-"

"Lily it's alright. I'm 18 in age (mortal's age) I prefer this appearance."

"Oh…. A paedophile as the mortals say," this time Lia cause Xavi to tear up. The tips of his ear flushed red and he was tongue-tied.

"You are so vicious! Young Master is not a p-ped- he's not! He's a healthy young ma-"

"How old are you?" Lia interrupted Lily.

"25."

"Oh, I'm sorry young master, I misunderstood. So, Lily is the paedophile here. Did she force young master to retain this youthful appearance as a bait?"

Both Xavi and Lily were too embarrassed to say anything. No matter how they tried to justify themselves, this young woman in front of them would always have something to throw back at them.

They should've just let her go.

"What about you? I bet you're an old hag luring males!" Lily provoked Lia.

The female next to Lia gasped.

"Hmm, a good question. How old am I?" Lia really didn't know, she spent 10 000 years in the abyss which was 10 years in the immortal world approximately.

Should she count those 10 000 years, those 10 years or no years at all?

When Min was crowned the Ghost King she was only 16 and Min was 20. Was she now 26?

The realisation hit her and the corner of her lips turned down. Suddenly,she felt her age creeping up on her. 22 should do it.

"I'm 22," she gave the benefit of doubt to the time in the abyss. Instead of 10 years, she would only add 6. It was slightly above half of the time. This was fine.

"You're younger than me! You should be more polite!" Lia cried injustice. Technically Lia was older, however, to maintain her face she nodded.

"But your mental age is 5 and young master is also younger than me, so I'm older than you."

"What nonsense is that?" Lily refused to accept.

The female next to them felt ignored. It was also hot in the room, so she took off the cloak and the veil. This was an important matter. There was no time to waste.

"Let's stop this," the female finally spoke up. Lia almost forgot her existence and turned to her.

Yet when she did so, her eyes widened. Even if she only saw that face a few times as her father rarely brought her out, Lia wouldn't be able to not recognise her.

"Seeing your reaction my guess is right. I can't express how happy and glad I am to see you. It's good to see you doing fine and please let me express my condolences and be shameless enough to ask for forgiveness, Miss Lia."
