What In The World

Qiang Feng awoke to a dull throbbing on his lower half as well as his head. Memories of the previous day flashed in his mind. He recalled the vicious eyes of Ping Jun, the boy who was his best friend. After so long in friendship, he found it hard to even try to hate Ping Jun. When he opened his eyes and took in his surroundings, he realized that he wasn't in the apartment anymore. His hands were tied behind his back and he was in some kind of wooden shed. The door creaked open. It was Ping Jun.

Or at least it looked like him. This person looked so unfamiliar with his sadistic and unforgiving eyes along with a familiar yet unfamiliar grin. Long story short, he was plain creepy. "Darling... you're awake ~ Do you know why we're here?," he said in a sing song voice. Qiang Feng shook his head because he couldn't trust that his voice won't crack when he talked. "Darling... I did tell you that if I saw that you turn flaccid, I would do something didn't I?," Ping Jun asked but it was more like a statement. The door opened again and this time the two guys from the day before came in with a gagged and tied Shui Xian. After which, they left.

The beautiful girl looked so haggard. Her hair was haphazard and tear stains were visible. Her usually lively eyes were now lifeless as she stared blankly at Qiang Feng. Clang! Qiang Feng turned to the source of the sound. Ping Jun was picking up a ... knife? Realization dawned on Qiang Feng. Panic rose in him and he knew he had to stop Ping Jun. Ping Jun leisurely took his time to walk towards Shui Xian. The previously lifeless girl suddenly came alive and started screaming into the gag when Ping Jun dragged the knife across her face. Qiang Feng wanted to get up, he really did but due to the incident yesterday, he had difficulties even trying to move.

"baby... this is why you should have listened to me... if you had done so, I wouldn't have had to do such a thing... oops my bad. Even if you had done what I told you to do, I would still do the same thing because I can't have you thinking about someone else while you're with me," Ping Jun drawled while he continued to drag the knife along Shui Xian's body.

As he stared at Shui Xian's crying and screaming form, he grinned with delight and raised his knife. After this, Qiang Feng will be all his. Qiang feng saw the knife moving down towards Shui Xian in slow motion. Pushing pass the pain he was feeling, with pure adrenaline, he rushed towards Ping Jun just as he was about to plunge the knife. He ended up above Ping Jun. He felt red, hot blood trickling out of his abdomen. All the pain causing him to be dizzy. Panicked, Ping Jun flipped them over. The knife meant for Shui Xian was plunged deep into Qiang Feng.

"no. no. no! Qiang Feng. FUCK. FOR THAT BITCH YOU STABBED YOURSELF. FUCK FUCK FUCK" Ping Jun screamed maniacally.

The world started getting darker and darker. Darker and darker. Darker and darker. "If this is my end, I could sure as hell say it was one hell of an end. Hopefully, Shui Xian will be okay." Qiang Feng thought. They say that when one is dying, past memories will start to zoom through but well for Qiang Feng at least, it wasn't true. The world simply turned dark and despite all the pain, he fell into what felt like a deep sleep.

When Qiang Feng consciousness came back to him, he heard the calming chirp of some kind of bird. A warm, spring breeze brushed over him. The fresh scent of grass and flowers enveloped him. "Is this heaven?" Qiang Feng thought out loud. A melodious, deep voice chuckled from beside him. "Unfortunately not stranger," this voice continued. Qiang feng quickly opened his eyes and turned towards the man beside him. This man was wearing some kind of traditional Chinese robes. It didn't look very high quality. "If you keep looking at me like that, I'll get shy stranger," he said when he noticed that Qiang Feng wasn't responding but instead was staring at him.

At this moment, Qiang Feng realised he was wearing a robe similar to the other man but his was tattered and bloody. "What... What happened?" he asked. "Well that's what I would like to ask you! When I found you, you were gravely injured. Thankfully I just left my house and the mages had given me a lot of medicine on me and I was able to help you. I'm actually really surprised that you woke up so quickly with so much vigor! When I checked your qi movement before I helped you, it was really congested and it seemed like your soul got badly injured so don't be surprised if your cultivation is affected," the other man replied with a slight frown.

Mage? Qi movement? Cultivation? What??? What is even happening right now? Seeing that Qiang Feng was confused and worried, the stranger assumed that it was because he was worried about his cultivation. Thus, this stranger channeled some of his soul power into his hands and he held them over Qiang feng's chest. Qiang Feng looked down at this seemingly crazy man. (manu: he won't seem so crazy soon enough ;) QF: ... I'm still recovering mentally from the torture you put me through the last time manu: I'm sorry :( I had to do it to move things along :(( QF: *eye roll*) The stranger exclaimed in surprise. "you. you. oh my god. The last time i checked, it seemed like your soul was almost destroyed and your qi was blocked but how is it possible that now that I checked again, everything was in place and working fine?!"

He was about to question the other man but a wave of dizziness suddenly hit him. His vision blackened.

What in the world is happening?
