Chapter 66 Unexplainable Love
Seth could feel a warm energy moving through his qi pathways on its own before returning to a thick ball of energy which was his dantian.
Before his breakthrough, Seth had to use his soulsense to move his qi through his pathways and then launch attacks, but now it passively circulated on its own, and with just a thought, it moved faster within him and then he heard a voice which reminded him that he was not alone.
"Darling you opened 13 gates, you're really awesome," Alexia said.
Seth opened his eyes to reply to her but got caught up in the sight before him, he could see what could only be qi moving around in the air, even with his soul sense he had only ever been able to sense qi, but now he could see it.
Seth moved his hands around, and like usual he grabbed onto nothing, but this time he could feel it, like that faint sensation of a very gentle wind blowing over his hand, Seth could feel qi.
He looked at the mountains, and this time his sight stretched for miles, his gaze stretching for as far as over 500 meters, and as if that wasn't incredible enough, when Seth's gaze locked on some birds over a kilometer away, he could hear their chirps, meaning his hearing also got enhanced.
Filled with Euphoria, Seth took in a deep breath, and his eyes couldn't help but snap in a particular direction, with traces of blood lust flashing through them, he wasn't sure, but if he was actually smelling what he thought he was smelling, then it would seem his nose actually received the greatest enhancements, he would be testing this sense of smell of his soon enough.
All of Seth's senses had been enhanced beyond imagination, and he could feel his body's strength was far from what it used to be.
Just as Seth was basking in these new sensations, he felt himself make a connection with something, he tried to figure out what it was, but nothing came to mind, there was nothing strange or foreign about this connection, and the only that alerted him to this change was because the connection was strengthened, like a straw resting on your shoulder which you could forever be unaware of till it became a huge log of wood and you are forced to turn and stare at it due to its glaring weight.
Seth called it a connection because he could feel a presence on the other side, but that was all he could make out of the situation.
As thoughts of this connection went through his mind, Seth felt also his brain get lighter, like there had been a heavy rock on it, but now it was removed, memories of the events that led to his death flowed through his head, and he couldn't help but wonder how he had gotten so dumb.
There was so much Seth wanted to explore about the new changes that had occurred to him, but he put them off and stared and the beauty in front of him.
"You're Alexia right, "Seth asked,
"Yes," she cutely nodded her head.
"Are you the same woman I saw in the underworld"
"Yes".
"You look a lot less beautiful than back then," Seth asked, the woman he had seen in the underworld was … was….. was
"Yes as am sure you've realized, you can't remember what I looked like back then"Alexia smiled.
"Why," Seth asked as he strained his brain to remember, but all his mind could say was that she was a beauty far above anything he had ever seen in his life.
"My images contain concepts your mind is currently too weak to process, back then we were in the underworld and well, we were equal, but now you're back in a body that can't handle the image of my appearance.
"A bored bird told me your soul was that of a mighty being, is that true?" Seth asked probingly while looking over the beautiful woman before him.
"Well, I well was one " Alexia said as she and the couch disappeared and the next second she was lying down on the air with her chin resting in her palm and her face close to Seth's.
"Were you actually going to die?" Seth asked Alexia who was floating around him and sniffing him, though he doubted souls could smell.
"Yes, "Alexia said as she nodded her head with a sad pout.
"Then why did you do it," Seth asked, truly confused, he didn't know how powerful a mighty being was, but he knew that for one to be referred to with such a name, they probably had to put in a lot of hard work for decades, or maybe even centuries.
"Because I love you" she answered with a bright smile on her face.
Seth stayed silent for some seconds and then began laughing when he heard her answer, the stupidity of her decision was just too funny to him, she had given up everything just because she loved him.
"Darling stop it," Alexia said, but this time she had wrapped herself on Seth's back and was currently hitting his shoulders in an angry pout.
After getting hit by her a few more times, Seth stopped his laughter and turned his head to the right to have a look and the beautiful face which was just a few inches away from his.
"If you are Alexia then you should know what I think about you," Seth said,
"Yes, you don't love me" Alexia replied in a subdued tone with sadness present in her eyes.
"Are you aware that if our positions were swapped I would never have given up my life for yours? " Seth bluntly asked, "even now am beginning to have regrets over the sacrifices I made to bring you back"
"Thank you, I am sorry that I had to put you through such stress, I would do my best to help you in any way I can" Alexia's muffled voice sounded out as she buried her face on his back.
Seth felt no joy from mocking Alexia, instead, he was angry at her behavior towards him, he had told this woman that he felt nothing for her, yet she had gone ahead to sacrifice herself to bring him back to life, and now that he just told her his honest thoughts and yet she was apologizing to him and promising to help him,
"Shouldn't I be the one thanking you and promising to bring you back?" Seth thought
"Has your obsession with me ever had anything to do with that hypnosis I did to you some time back?" Seth asked.
"No, Alexi replied I have always loved you this much, I was just so good at suppressing this side of me till that morning you had sex with me," Alexia said, sadness wiped off her face and a bright smile now replacing it on her face and look of happiness as she seemed to be reminiscing their first time together.
"And why a mighty being like you love me so much," Seth asked, genuinely interested, what would make someone so obsessed with a guy that clearly didn't like her.
"Oh, I don't remember, I just know I love you with all my being," Alexia said but Seth just kept on staring at her with a look that screamed at her to elaborate on this very baffling answer of her.
"Well, you know how a brain loses its memories if it gets damaged, well that's the same thing that happens to a damaged soul.
Descending to a lower underworld requires me to shave off a lot of my soul power so that I can qualify to enter it, and well whatever means you used to pull me out damaged more of my soul since well a soul with my prevous strngth is not allowed to enter an infirmary world" Alexia said.
"Infirmary worlds?" Seth asked,
"yes, an infirmary world is one which has just gotten introduced to the concept of cultivation and is still being nurtured into becoming a genuine cultivation world, like you earth for example, for my soul to enter such a world I have to lose a lot of my soul which has left me right now with only the memories I have of this world and some other tidbits".
"Hmm so this means that you can't answer my question on the mysteries surrounding you," Seth said with a raised eyebrow, while Alexia pitiful nodded her head in reply,
"Let's get this straight, you're like Rose, a being from a more advanced world but you've been in Moroc city all these years because you love me, and now you decided to sacrifice your soul in exchange for mine," Seth asked
"yes" she nodded her head
"Where do you come from and why would you even come to earth," he asked
"Ehhh, I don't know," Alexia answered with a finger to her lips and her forehead furrowed, making quite a cute expression.
"Am pretty sure you're over 200 years old, probably 1000, so why are you acting like a needy child?" Seth asked.
