Chapter 28: Sorcerer / 5.3&4 : Old habits die hard
Eden’s body slowly fell to the ground. He opened his eyes and let out a breath. He finally felt complete like this is how he was always supposed to be. He stood up and opened his hand. A white ball of energy hovered above it, it made him feel good. He closed his hand and it disappeared. He opened his hand again and another ball appeared, but this time it was dark.
That feeling was a thousand times better than the one he had before. He tossed the ball in the air with a vicious smile. Black magic is way more his speed than white magic. When it fell back above his hand he closed it and said:
"This is going to be so much fun."
Shaoren and Shaotian looked at Eden with narrowed eyes.
Eden turned around, he waved his hand and the candle moved breaking the blood shield. He stepped out of the circle and looked at the twins. He stayed silent waiting for them to speak. If they have questions he’ll answer but if they don’t want to know then he is fine with that. He learned not to force things in the previous universe and to just take things at is and their own time.
Shaotian stood before Eden and caressed his head.
"Are you okay?"
Eden nodded with a smile.
"Sorry I didn’t mean to wake you."
"It’s okay."
Shaoren narrowed his eyes at his brother then Eden. He stood next to his brother. Shaotian pulled back his hand, he knew his twin was angry. Shaoren held Eden’s chin and ordered:
"If you have a ritual to do call us next time."
Eden raised an eyebrow with a smile.
"Why?"
Shaoren looked into Eden’s defiant eyes. He asked with cold eyes:
"Didn’t we buy you at the auction?"
Eden’s eyes flashed with amusement but he answered expressionlessly:
"You did."
Shaoren took a step closer and asked:
"Doesn’t that mean that you’re ours?"
Both twins waited for his answer their hearts beating faster than they ever had, they felt like if Eden answered no they would lose something important. Eden felt like smiling but he didn’t, he answered seriously:
"I am."
Of course, he is theirs, not because they bought him but because they are his soulmates. He knows that they’re worried Eden will leave since now they know he is more than a Nexus and technically he doesn’t have to depend on them. He knows Gege by heart by now but he doesn’t have to worry he’ll never leave him or them in this case. He was satisfied when he saw them relax.
The twins felt better hearing that. They knew that Eden meant his words. They know everything about the Prime Nexus Yintang. They have the scroll he wrote containing his dying vision. Eden has white and black magic, only an idiot couldn’t tell he is Yintang’s reincarnation. Even if he is considered a deity they don’t want him to leave. The second they saw Eden they looked into each other’s eyes and knew that they had to be with him. They felt like Eden did too even if the relationship would be unorthodox.
They know that Eden has never been with anyone so they are willing to take it slow but give up on him they’ll never. They just feel drawn to him like they never have before. They’ve only ever cared about one person but what they feel for Eden at this point is more than they ever did for Minglan. Nothing ever happened between them but she’s always been in their life. They treat her like a little sister. After they lost their mother all they focused on was becoming Guardians and fighting for the Nexus’ rights by becoming leaders.
Shaotian said:
"Then you won’t leave."
Even if he said it as a statement Eden could tell he was asking. Eden said:
"If you don’t want me to."
Shaotian couldn’t stop himself from smiling. Shaoren held his chin tighter and said domineeringly:
"We don’t, you can’t leave."
Eden licked his lips and nodded, the twin’s eyes darken at that.
The door opened and Nansheng came in. Shaoren let go of Eden when he asked worriedly:
"Are you okay Eden?"
He had short brown hair with a round face. His eyes were slanted and he had a small nose with thin lips. He looked adorable, and Eden smiled reassuringly.
"I am thank you."
When they arrived Eden was asleep because of Huang’s spell. The black magic exhausts him but despite that when he was owned by Huang he was still forced to work as a slave.
Shaoren carried him in and he remembered waking up for a few seconds and seeing Nansheng. He asked about Eden. In the original timeline, Nansheng was friends with Eden. They both lived in the other house and they grew closer. When he and the twins died Nansheng and A-Xuan who were friends with them too took it hard. Nansheng ended up being bought by an abusive magician and killed himself after A-Xuan died. Tianlin killed A-Xuan during a mission to kill a Haywire Nexus.
He killed him and pretended that the Haywire Nexus did it. They knew that he was loyal to the twins and they couldn’t have him find out how they died. Eden won’t let any of them die, they had his back now it’s his turn. So many people cared for him in this universe but they all died and suffered because of it. Nansheng felt relieved and hugged Eden. Eden hugged him back with a smile.
When you meet so many terrible people it’s hard to believe that truly good people exist but Nansheng genuinely is. He already feels like they are friends since he has those memories of this thoughtful person who was always there for him. Nansheng pulled back and smiled.
"I’m glad you’re okay."
"Sorry I woke you."
"It’s okay."
Shaotian looked at Nansheng.
"You should go to bed it’s late."
Nansheng nodded, and after saying goodnight he left.
Shaotian caressed Eden’s head affectionately.
"You should sleep you must be tired."
Eden circled his waist and Shaotian hugged him back.
"Good night."
"Good night."
He pulled back and hugged Shaoren, he hugged him back.
"Good night."
"Good night." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Eden woke up in a good mood, he took a shower and had breakfast sent in his room. He left for the library, when he arrived he felt like he was in the library from the beauty and the beast. Eden walked to a painting of Yintang. It feels weird to have memories from three separate life in this universe, those of Yintang’s, the original timeline, and his last life before transmigrating. He pushed one of the stones on the canvas. A secret door opened and Eden followed the tunnel to a large chamber. It was a smaller library but all the books in there were written by him. He selected multiple books and put them on the table.
He looked at the chimney with a smile. He tossed all the books in it and said:
"Light up."
All the books caught on fire and Eden looked at them burn until only ashes remained. When the fire was snuffed he put a small piece of a ripped page under the ashes visible enough to be seen. He left the chamber whistling. He directly went to the council room of the Order of the Guardian of Equilibrium. He entered without knocking and looked around the vast room, the twins were seated at the head of the table. They were ten more guardians around it.
He smiled at the twins and said:
"Sorry, I’m late."
Eden crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. Technically he can’t seat around the table since he isn’t a Guardian. He’s more than fine with that, most of them are terrible.
Huang looked at the twins and frowned when they didn’t tell Eden to leave. He’s probably the help here so why would they allow him in here? He asked:
"Leaders, what is he doing here?"
"I’m their assistant."
Huang looked at Eden who had answered, he looked at his careless smile with a frown. He feels like his personality is different. He did wipe his mind so he has no memory of who he was. He probably became more confident when he saw the leader of the Order of the GE come to his rescue. That makes sense, all the Nexus working at Wang’s estate act differently than other Nexus. They believe that they are the same as magicians. Huang was about to say something but Shaoren said in his cold voice:
"Let’s get back to what we were talking about."
Eden ignored what they were talking about, he’s going to get rid of 90 percent of the rules once he is known as the Prime Nexus.
He perked up his ear when Yifeng said:
"I think that what happened during the auction sets a terrible precedent."
Shaotian asked:
"How so?"
"Since what happened you’ve seen what they are saying online. How the new leaders of the Order are going to free the Nexus from the shackles of slavery as if it’s true. They should learn their place and not think that they are the same as magicians."
Eden chuckled, when Yifeng looked at him with narrowed eyes he said:
"You’re right Nexus aren’t the same as magicians they’re above for all the hard work they do."
He quickly felt the atmosphere change at that.
Yifeng’s eyes flashed in anger and he asked:
"What’s your name?"
Eden said with a smug smile.
"You know who I am the entire realm does."
If he didn’t know that Huang was using Eden to take the seat of leaders he would’ve turned Eden into an ant so he can step on him.
"Magicians can do magic while Nexus can’t do anything."
"The only reason you can do magic is because of us. Without us, you would only be human."
Yifeng said in anger:
"Because of us, Hidden Fields is more advanced than any realm. We became the best because we have the most powerful magicians."
Eden said looking at Yifeng condescendingly:
"This isn’t the old question of which came first the chicken or the egg. Without Nexus, none of you would have magic to begin with just like if you didn’t have us to feed on Hidden Fields wouldn’t have the strongest magicians. Everything that magicians have done is because of us and don’t you ever forget that."
Yifeng looked at Eden furious, he opened his mouth to rebuke what he said but nothing came out. What he said is the truth but it doesn’t change the fact that the Nexus have no magic.
Huang looked at Eden stupefied, just because he was saved by the leaders he became this cocky Nexus? He shouldn’t have wiped his memory clean, what if the leaders get sick of it? He looked at Shaotian worried and saw that he was smiling, he became shocked when he saw Shaoren smile as well. Yifeng was just as stunned, Shaoren is cold to everyone except a handful of people including his daughter Minglan.
Eden stayed silent the rest of the meeting and everyone left beside the twins and A-Xuan.
He took a seat at the table in front of the twins. Shaotian asked:
"Did you get some rest?"
Eden smiled.
"I did."
Shaoren asked:
"Where were you?"
"I had to pick up a few of my books from my secret library."
The spell used on the last participant of the GE Trial in the original timeline was in one of the books he destroyed. Huang became the strongest magician thanks to his spells, incantations, and just all the knowledge he saved over the years. The knowledge is to be used in case they are in dire situations not to become a deity.
A-Xuan who was packing asked confused:
"What library? I thought you just met."
Eden looked at him. A-Xuan had short dark hair and an oval face. He had round eyes and a slightly turned-up nose with full lips. He answered:
"They’re my books from my previous life."
A-Xuan looked at Eden wide-eyed. He knows that there’s a secret library and all the books belong to Yintang but only the leaders of the order can access it. That means he is Yintang, no that’s not possible. Eden knew that he wasn’t sure if he was serious. He opened his hand and a white ball of energy hovered above his palm then it turned black.
A-Xuan looked at it then his gold eyes, incredulously.
It’s famously known how when Yintang used magic his eyes become a bright gold. He said:
"It’s an honor to meet you Prime Nexus."
He was about to kneel but he felt a force stop him midway. Eden smiled.
"You don’t have to kneel and no one can know who I am yet."
A-Xuan promised:
"I won’t say anything to anyone I swear."
"I know you won’t, you can tell Nansheng if you want I trust him as well."
A-Xuan smiled, he and Nansheng are friends and he would’ve felt uncomfortable keeping it from him. Eden knows that that’s why he told him it’s fine. He trusts all of them this is why he’s being honest, they are a team.
Huang entered the car after Yifeng. When the car moved he said:
"You need to tell Minglan to ask the twins to train her and Tianlin."
Yifeng nodded, despite how much he hates them he knows his daughter will have more chances to enter the order with their help. Plus he knows that they’ll do anything for her, they’ve been in love with her since they were kids. He would rather die than let them have her. He’s grateful that Minglan has never been interested in them.
He asked:
"What happened to Eden?"
"I wiped his memory and when the twins stood up for him he became cocky. No matter what he is nothing more than a puppet."
Yifeng said with disdain:
"Still I don’t like his attitude. When are you going to use him?"
"I already am, he has to get all the information we need on the twins and once our children are trained enough we’ll take them down."
He knows that Eden will find dirt on them. The leaders of the Order of the GE have to be crystal clear, if they can’t find dirt he’ll just use Eden as a bomb during the GE Trial since it starts soon. Right now he just has to make sure that Tianlin has enough training.
Eden went down the stairs when he was called for dinner. He walked into the dining room in a good mood but it quickly turned sour. Shaoren was sitting a the head of the table, on his right was Shaotian and in front of him was Minglan. Next to her was Nansheng and in front of him was A-Xuan.
Eden narrowed his eyes when he saw the twins talking with a smiling and chuckling Minglan. He scanned her, she had long straight hair and an oval face. Her green eyes were sparkling and she had a small nose. Her lips were full and pink. Objectively speaking she looked stunning. Eden took a seat at the end of the table in silence. Nansheng smiled at him and Eden smiled back. A-Xuan asked:
"Are you okay?"
He can feel Eden’s anger. Eden cloaked his feelings and answered with a smile:
"I am."
Minglan stopped talking to the twins and looked at Eden. She’s been curious about him since she saw the auction. He became a celebrity because of it, all the Nexus think that he is a hero for stepping in front of the powerful leaders of the Order of the GE. Personally, she feels like he’s more like a fool. What can a weak Nexus do against a magician? Still, she doesn’t understand why he is eating with them. It’s rare for the twins to make friends it’s like they don’t mind just having each other. She smiled sweetly at him.
"Hey, I’m Minglan."
Eden nodded and ignored her.
Minglan looked at him with narrowed eyes but she stop when she felt the twins’ eyes on her. She knows that they love how sweet she is, and right now she needs a favor from them. As they ate she caught up with them since she hasn’t seen them in a few days already. She’s been training nonstop for GE Trial. But her father is right she’ll have more chance if the twins train her, she doesn’t get why she has to ask for Tianlin too. It’s already annoying to have to train constantly with him, just because their fathers are friends doesn’t mean they have to.
The only reason he does it is that his father said they’re just using them. If that wasn’t bad enough she doesn’t like how things are turning with Tianlin. There’s this weird sexual tension between them, but she’s fighting it with all her might. He isn’t good enough for her, she’ll find the perfect person for her once she is part of the Order of The GE. She looked at Shaotian and Shaoren and blinked her sparkly eyes.
"Da-Ge can I ask you a favor?"
Eden nearly choked on his food. A-Xuan tapped on his back while he coughed. They all looked at him.
Shaotian asked:
"Are you okay?"
Eden ignored him and drank a glass of water. Minglan looked at Eden angry, can’t he eat properly? She put her hand on Shaoren and said:
"Can you train Tianlin and me for the GE Trial?"
Shaoren looked at her and answered after pulling his hand.
"Sure."
She looked at Shaotian and he nodded. She smiled brightly and said:
"Thank you Da-Ge."
Eden stood up and left. He went back to his room and paced in a circle. He’s never been this angry in his life. That bitch called his babies Da-Ge. That’s bullshit. Who does she think she is? It’s already infuriating enough that the twins used to have feelings for her. The only reason he hasn’t killed her yet is that he wants her to suffer before she dies. He narrowed his eyes when he pictured her putting her hand on Shaoren. She is dead just as much as them.
They asked him yesterday if he was theirs and today they let her call her like that and be intimate. They better keep things professional when they train her or they’re dead. When someone knocked on the door he looked through it and saw that it was the twins. He waved his hand and the door opened. They both entered and closed the door behind them. Shaoren leaned against the door his arms crossed. Shaotian walked to Eden, he asked:
"Are you okay?"
He felt like it was a redundant question when Eden stopped concealing his feelings and he felt his murderous aura.
Eden threatened:
"If Minglan calls you Da-Ge, Er-Gege, Er-Ge, or anything like that ever again I’ll kill you. Is that clear?"
Shaoren smiled and said:
"It’s nothing."
Before he blinked Eden was in front of him and had a hand around his neck. Shaotian turned around and looked at them.
Eden tightened the hold he had around his neck and asked threateningly:
"What did you say?"
Shaoren leaned in and said:
"It means nothing."
"Someone calling you Da-Gege or Gege mean nothing?"
Eden waited for his answer fuming. If he dares say yes he is done with him.
Shaoren answered:
"No Minglan calling us that means nothing."
He felt Shaotian hugging him from behind.
"It would only mean something if it came from you and we already told her not to call us that anymore."
It did make them uncomfortable when she called them that’s why they told her not to do it again. It never bothered them before but now it does.
Eden loosened the hold he had around Shaoren’s neck but didn’t let go. He’s still angry, the first time he called his lover Gege he was so happy. He felt that Eden was starting to feel more for him and opening up and he was even if he wasn’t aware of it. In every universe when he would call him that he could feel how happy he was because he somehow recognized that calling. It isn’t just some insignificant calling so they better not mess with that. Especially from the girl, they used to have feelings for. This is the first time he is in a universe where Gege has someone he used to have feelings for. This is so annoying, especially after the previous universe.
Shaotian held Eden tighter.
"Don’t be angry."
Eden looked into Shaoren’s eyes and became angrier. He could feel how happy he was that Eden was bothered by Minglan. Fine, then he’ll just do what he does best which is messing with him.
Shaoren took a step forward and kissed him. He kissed him slowly then deepened the kiss. After a few seconds Eden sunk in and kissed him back. Shaoren pushed his tongue deeper and Eden kept sucking on it. He pulled back and looked at Eden. His gold eyes were misty, his lips were swollen and red. He looked like the most delicious treat, he turned him around and Shaotian kissed him. Eden let out a moan when he felt Shaoren kissing his neck. He put his hand under his pants and stroked his cock. Eden broke the kiss and looked at the twins.
He asked:
"What are you going to do to make it up?"
Their eyes darken and Shaoren pushed Eden onto the bed after undressing him. Shaoren swallowed him while stroking his cock. Eden’s moans stayed trapped in his mouth while Shaotian did ravages. When Shaoren swallowed him deeper Eden arched into the sensation. Shaotian looked into his passion-filled gold eyes enamored. He looked so beautiful and sensual. He kissed him again, he broke the kiss when Eden groaned in pleasure when he cummed.
Shaoren swallowed everything, he pulled back looking at Eden with a smile.
"How did you know we love strawberries?"
Eden said haughtily:
"I know everything."
He’s known Gege for so long, of course, he knows that Gege loves strawberries. Magicians have this habit to make their cum taste like their favorite fruit. He already likes how Gege tastes but he wouldn’t mind adding a cherry on top of it. Shaoren smiled and he licked the cum left until it was clean. Shaotian turned Eden and put him on all fours. Shaotian applied lube to his finger and pushed it inside. Eden let out a moan as he kept going in and out. He added a second finger then a third.
When he went deeper Eden whimpered:
"Gege it’s not enough."
Hearing that Shaotian smiled and pulled out. He applied a generous amount of lube and slid in. He moved his hips in and out. He pushed it the rest of the way slowly until he hit that spot, he groaned in satisfaction while Eden moaned in pleasure.
He finally felt complete. He looked at Shaoren who was looking at him with heated eyes stroking his cock. Eden licked his lips and looked at him seductively. Shaoren knelt in front of him and Eden opened his mouth. He pushed his cock inside. Eden swallowed him and sucked him enthusiastically. Shaoren groaned in pleasure.
"Baby your mouth feels so good."
He nearly lost it when Eden looked at him with shiny eyes. Shaotian could tell Eden was excited because his ass clenched around his cock. Eden pulled back and said:
"Gege harder."
He swallowed Shaoren again, he swallowed him deeper every time Shaotian would thrust in fiercer. He sucked Shaoren harder, he felt like his mind was a blur because of how all his senses were on fire. It felt so good to have Shaotian and Shaoren inside of him. It became harder to resist Gege in the previous universe but it’s even harder to resist two of them. He always love the wild sex they would have but he loved it, even more, when he was fucked by two of them.
What’s weird is that the three of them are in sync like they are just two of them, it isn’t surprising since they are the same person but still. He definitely doesn’t mind having one more cock to play with. Plus he likes to drive two of them insane in need. The three of them groaned in pleasure when they cummed. Shaoren pulled back and Eden swallowed. He licked his lips wanting more of it. When Shaotian pulled back Eden looked at Shaoren.
He asked:
"How did you know I like cherry?"
Gege would always know he love them best but he would tell them first. This time he didn’t. Shaoren smiled.
"I know everything."
Eden and Shaotian smiled. He pushed Eden to the edge of the bed and folded his legs. He pushed his cock inside of him, he looked at Eden’s enchanting face.
Eden looked at Shaoren and said:
"Gege you can fuck me as hard as you want."
Shaoren immediately picked up the pace. Eden turned his head and looked at Shaotian who was looking at him with the same lustful eyes Shaoren did before. Eden opened his mouth and he walked toward him.
He pushed his cock and Eden immediately swallowed him. The twins were trusting at the same time, and Eden’s mind became blurred again in pleasure. The twins looked at his mesmerizing face, they felt like they could never have enough of him. Not just because the sex felt amazing but because it’s the first time they are with someone who accepts them fully for who they are. No one ever understood their need to do everything together but since they first met Eden they felt his acceptance. The three of them together feel so natural.
When Shaoren was about to cum he stroked Eden’s cock and they groaned in satisfaction. Eden swallowed in pleasure, Shaotian pulled back and his eyes darken when he saw Eden licking his lips. He knelt in front of Eden and licked the cum on his stomach. When Shaoren joined him Eden looked at them licking him clean. His eyes darken when they both licked his cock. When nothing was left they both lay next to him.
Eden said:
"Don’t forget what I said."
Shaoren turned Eden’s head so he would face him.
"You’re ours."
Eden smiled inwardly.
"I’m yours as a Nexus since you bought me."
Eden felt pleased when Shaoren narrowed his angry eyes at him. That jerk was smiling when he was pissed.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
Eden felt Shaotian hugging him tightly from behind like he was scared he would leave.
"It means that I’m yours until I’m done with what I’m doing and I’m ready for the realm to know who I am."
Both twins looked at each other and seemed to agree on something. Eden almost laughed at those two. Shaoren said:
"That means you’re not to do anything with anyone until then right?"
Eden pretended to think and nodded.
The twins were happy with his answer. They won’t let Eden ever go, they just don’t want to scare him right now. He is theirs, they knew it the moment they met him. It doesn’t matter if he was Yintang in his previous life, in this one he is theirs. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Eden smiled at the twins who thought they pulled one over on him. They should pay for Minglan and the twins using the fact that they bought him as leverage to keep him. They should just be honest and say that they want him, but he learned not to push him and let Gege open up when he is ready. That being said it will be fun to mess with them, old habits die hard.
