The being in the darkness, who's alone in this dark and gloomy mind space, finally found the amusement.
The being had felt the shift of the mind space, it grew bigger and more complicated yet simple.
It is amusing and interesting seeing three hosts.
Or rather, to avoid confusion, splitting into three.
In retrospect, splitting into two is already madness, and now his host boldly has three.
They got along harmoniously instead of fighting for dominance to control the body.
There are three of them:
1.)Huang Beiyue, the one who controls the body. She's still a child and is learning, despite being the oldest amongst them, she was shaped differently and in a sense, could be ignorant at times, different from the two. She's like the former self but much sharper and more aware.
2.)Uzumaki Akane, the one who usually advices in martial arts, medicine, battle tactics and things that fell in that place. A seasoned killer and amongst the tree, the one who's much more jaded.
3.)Ye Lian, the one who's well versed in politics, business minded, and has sharper eye in literary and arts. She is much more meticulous in logistics and making sure that they won't be stepping on a land mine. Should she be a man, she's a fearsome minister.
More often than now, Huang Beiyue has the final say in everything but she is open to the advice and suggestion from the two. Hey have harmonious relationship and had good teamwork. Hey like to discuss things first before proceeding.
It's a good decision to split them up, otherwise the soul couldn't bear it, the mentality will come crashing down with the identity crises. They are each others anchors and is close knit despite separated. Perhaps in the future they can merge, maybe not, he doesn't care, but the being is relieved when the trio can switch places to take care of each other and cover each other's back.
The being wasn't a fool.
Far from it.
He could hear them using reference that didn't exist.
Reminiscing of events that did not happen.
Traverser and time traveler, or dimension traveler, whichever works.
Clearly something happened in the future, perhaps the brat died and her soul didn't rest in peace, but somehow manage to travel through space and time. Such a thing should be impossible for her but it seemed possible. The Being had the feeling it's the work of that blasted Xuanyuan Wentian and Huang Huiwen. The price for that is heavy, those two lunatics…
Regardless, it annoy him because instead of one, he has two more jailers.
And now, they stood in front of him.
"Seriously?! A Jinchuuriki? Is he like the Biju?" Beiyue inquired.
"No, not a Chakra beast, rather, he's a real demon beast" Ye Lian massage the budge of her nose, trying to relieve the phantom headache she is not capable of feeling yet could still mysteriously feel it, "He's a fallen. A divine beast that turned into a demon. Not to mention, his soul… Yue that Jade we just had, be careful with its usage. It's powerful but it's definitely not a good thing." Ye Lian said solemnly
"Yeah I notice. He had the residual aura of that Jade. Must be related." Huang Beiyue narrowed her eyes, when she died in the past, many things were hurried and remained undiscovered. What happened when she died…?
Beiyue was forced back to reality when Akane spoke, "In theory, at least according to what Lian and I had observed. This seal, this faulty horrible seal, was the reason why we cannot cultivate. Any energy we take in is siphoned off to enforce this seal." Akane jerked her head to the bars, her distaste for this seal is Cleary seen and heard, speaking as if the mere mention of it repulsed her (which probably did), "You can't kill demon beast, not in his caliber and strength. He's another level entirely. The only choice is... To seal away. As for the one that did it…. I'm putting my bet on the cheap Father we have not seen the shadow of. Assuming, he's dead." Akane said and scowled, "And yes, I know it's implication, don't start. We're not Naruto."
"…… I wasn't going to say it but whatever." Huang Beiyue shook her head, "This seal is awful. How high the caster must have been when he made it. It's like he pulled it out of his ass in desperation on to contain an out of controlled demon beast or a rampaging one."
Akane couldn't agree anymore, "It spelled disaster. Using the spiritual energy we took in to enforce the bar, literally nailed us in The Pillar and be Trash for Life."
All three's expression darkened.
The being couldn't help but snickered. Every dog has their days. Being hated by your own child(ren) because of your stupidity probably a strike to that man should he still love to this day.
Meanwhile the trip discussed about what to do to the seal.
To change it.
There brats, change the seal? The being scoffed, how bold and audacious.
The being has lived for so many years already, very few things can catch and entertain him. Watching others try and attempt the impossible then failed in the end is always somewhere at the top of his preferences or choice for his entertainment.
"This is a complicated seal. I believe.. The Jade has something to do with it?"
"The Million Beast Jade? The Jade that should be called 'Showboating Jade'?" Ye Lian scorned.
"You're the one that insisted in calling that but yes, the Showboating Hot Potato." That name, since Ye Lian used it was stuck, obviously.
Though changing the Jade is necessary. Risking on having others hearing that it's in their possession is just asking for those greedy and tempted assholes to kick down their door and came in with cannons blazing. Such a thing is really a pain in the ass.
"Well, we have our Chakra but I always believe in having another back up plan within the back up plan. Our cultivation… We obviously can't do it if this prison is being it's jackass self and continue to hinder us in that goal." Akane said
"Then we should split up our chores." Ye Lian proposed, "Akane, you and several shadow clones work on the seal. Make sure to do it in the secluded courtyard and secure it. Take the Showboating Hot Potato with you, place more privacy barrier, dozens upon dozens if you have to, that leakage of energy must not be felt in the outside. Beiyue, you continue training the body and had more clones study the books and knowledge in Mother's Library." Ye Lian said
The two nodded, agreeing in this plan, it's reasonable.
"What about you, Lian jie? What's your plan?" Beiyue asked.
Ye Lian looked at the being inside the cage, "Naturally, to investigate about our friend here and as to why he is inside us. Our mother, and our biological father. I want to know in case there is any more hidden danger for us."
"Okay, although that should be my job but you're really good at that. Okay, well leave it to you" Akane and Beiyue nodded.
Just like that, the plan is created.
The being raised a brow, "Are you going to ask me something?"
"We won't. We wish to know things first by ourselves before we confront you. We don't want to assume or be lead into a path judging only knowing one side" Akane shook her head, "When it goes like that it's not always pretty." In which the other two agreed.
The Being hummed, "Very well, I am Yan."
"Hello, Yan, I am Huang Beiyue."
"I am Uzumaki Akane."
"I am Ye Lian."
The diplomat amongst them, Ye Lian took a step forward, "We apologize on behalf of our cheap father. You must have been sealed inside, unwilling. And our mind space is not the most comfortable place to be, rest assured, we are going to help you make it as comfortable as possible so we three can only Shamelessly ask you for your patience."
Yan was speechless at this development. He honestly doesn't know how to respond to that. Centuries of…. The bullshit that he went through and yet…..
Seemingly the three had tact to not force him to reply to that.
"Then we will get going now." And then they left.
Before Beiyue went back to reality, she looked at Ye Lian, "Lian jie, specifically look for someone with red hair"
"Red hair? Why that particular color?"
"I mentioned how I am attached to red hair? Like gaining something that I have lost? Dongling has pink hair, Yingyi has lavender, it's not farfetch for someone to have red hair." Huang Beiyue said
"Very well."
That was a month ago.
-
And what an interesting discovery they had.
"Ha…So it's like that…Unexpectedly…" Beiyue chuckled and shook her head.
Akane's lips twitched before she helplessly sighed, "We are born from a family of Heart Breakers it seems…"
Ye Lian can only shrug.
