Chapter 248 - 248 - He's Back

Zou Yue touched that bleeding bald spot in the back of her head gingerly.

"It's... it's nothing really. I was planning on changing my hairstyle. Long hair is such a hassle. He he..." Juda tried to brush it off as a minor issue.

But Yue knew this poor girl must be in excruciating pain. One of her eyes was bleeding; the other one was swollen shut. Her nose was most likely cracked, and it was bleeding profusely. Her lips were also badly bruised.

These were all the visible injuries. He was not sure how much battered her body was.

He loosed his grip slightly in order not to put any kind of pressure on her wounds. "Hope you have a very cute puppy dog look or a very seductive bedroom strategy cuz Tian is going to go on a killing spree if you don't convince her otherwise,"'

"I already did," a voice said.

Tian stood by the opened shutter, panting softly. "Juda..."

She ran to them and gently caressed her face. "fuck. Those fuckers I should have burned them alive. That fucking bastard and bitches, how dare they! How dare they do this!"

Juda placed a hand on her mouth. "shhh...calm down my dear,"

Tian's eyes started to tear up. Gritting her teeth, she nodded. "I will definitely find out who did this to you,"

"They are already dead," she pointed to the two dead men in the room.

Yue silently let her lie to his sister. He knew that these two were not the real kidnappers. They were part of the kidnapping gang, that's for sure. But the guy that kidnapped Juda left with the taller man.

With Trexa's ability, he saw the two people's shadows walk out of the warehouse. If he had not touched Juda and copied her ability, he would have found their whereabouts right about now.

It was a momentary regret. He did not think much of it.

In the end of the day, Juda's safety became the priority. He can of course copy Trexa's ability and come back here to follow that shadow, but he was not sure how long the past traces last.

This warehouse might be old, but a few people like himself used it before the Apocalypse. If it was so then there must have been a small trace of his movements as a shadow here.

He did not see such a thing.

'That means the past traces disappear after a while… even with Trexa's ability, I can't find out someone's past movement if the time has elapsed.'

His powers were new and discovering it will take some practice and patience.

"Meow~" blackie rubbed against his foot.

"How was it on your end? Did you guys find anything?" he glanced at Tian who was walking out.

Fan Xui rushed into the room right then. Just as he was about to hold his hand, Yue tied his hand behind his back.

His lover frowned. "What is it? Are you hurt?"

"No," he got close and whispered, "I have copied Juda's ability. I want to test it out a bit."

"Good. how did you even find this place?"

"I'll explain it on the way. Juda needs help right now," he gestured for Fan Xui to hug him.

Suddenly, someone tugged at his sleeve.

"Yue~ wow handsome man. You both are so handsome. So is she. Is she your sister? She looks so pretty~" Huijin, the annoying one, exclaimed with a bright smile.

Fan Xui's expression instantly turned frosted. He tugged at his wrist and pulled him close. "who is this? Why is she acting familiar with us?"

"Don't know," Yue mumbled, glancing at her.

Huijin's eyes slightly narrowed, but she immediately hid her face and started to sob. "i.. I know I'm not familiar with you… but…. i.. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to talk to you like that. I'm sorry…." She wailed.

Yue rubbed his ringing ears. 'is she a banshee? Darn it.'

Every time he pushed her hand away, she kept tugging at his clothes and crying loudly.

At one point Fan Xui lost patience. He lifted Yue into his arms and kissed his lips hard.

The sobs instantly disappeared. Stunned, the girl looked at them with her mouth wide open. "you… you…"

Yue did not even spare her a glance. His eyes were only focused on Fan Xui. His lover's eyes shifted to a bright shade of blue. 'Blue…. I've seen his eyes like this before.. it was when….'

He looked down at him with a sad smile.

'It's the other Fan Xui!'

Yue cupped his face softly. "It's you… it's you.. You're back,"

"I know you don't want to…"

"I wanted to see you!" Yue interrupted him.

He had wanted to see this Fan Xui for a long time. He was apologetic and guilty, for talking to him in that way last time they met... but along with that feeling, there was also longing mixed in.

Yue knew this longing was not platonic in any way.

He caressed his cheeks. "Can we talk privately…. I have so much to say…"

Fan Xui's eyebrows eased and his lisp rose in a small smile. "I feel like I'm losing control of my body...." he hugged him close and kissed his ears. "We'll talk soon…. Until then, think of me. Love me," he whispered in a sad tone.

"I will!" Yue glanced at him. But this time a confused pair of deep black pupils peered at him. "Fan? are you…"

"hmm… I just felt dizzy for a second." He juggled him slightly. "Tian," he glanced back.

Tian and Juda were nowhere to be seen.

"I guess they left. It's time we leave, too. hary will inform the military. They will come pick them up," he smiled softly.

"Y-yeah…" Yue hugged him close.

"Meow~~" Blackie went around Fan Xui's legs meowing cutely. She resolutely walked out of the warehouse entrance to another room.

On the way, she paused and meowed at them, nodding her head in a particular direction.

Yue gestured for Fan to let him down.

But with a naughty smirk, Fan Xui hugged him tightly. "Nope, let me enjoy my darlings embrace,"

"You sneaky guy,"

He, of course, gave into his lover's demands. Why? Because Fan Xui was fucking adorable with that toothy grin on his face.

Yue gently kissed his cheeks. "Blackie wants us to follow her. Come on then, giddy up."

Fan Xui suddenly froze. He lowered his head and nuzzled his face. Baby, you better not utter those words in public. It's to titillating."

Yue gasped. He could feel his lover's excitement poke his lower back. "he he, what can I say? I love poking your buttons."

"Be warned, you are the one who's going to get poked."
