The Geared Immortal

Chapter 661

(Unedited)

…

Two crying women could be heard inside the room, while the expression of a handsome young man sitting outside in the living room showed complex emotion.

Susan Tang and Qin Lou showed angry expressions on their faces as they throw angry glances at Shin Jiao for not telling them the whole truth. When they received the information, the two of them seem to have the same flow of thought as they knew that something is wrong.

However, Shin Jiao just calmly sit there and did not move. He just let them vent their anger towards him.

After a while, the two calmed down and sit quietly on the sofa while looking at Shin Jiao with tears in their eyes.

"Sigh… I told you the information because I wanted you to be able to ascend like me. I cannot stop it anymore. I will be taken by an old monk a month from now. So…"

"Enough… if you have a month to stay then spend it with us. Do not go anywhere anymore. Plus, Sister Susan is going to give birth soon."

"I know… three days from now." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

When the two ladies heard his words, they both showed happiness in their eyes. This is especially true for Susan as she is a bit excited to be a mother.

The two did not hold on to this issue and just busied themselves preparing for the coming of Shin Jiao's daughter.

That night two figures could be seen standing on a cliff outside the city. Shin Jiao and his son, Ju-long Jiao decided to have a father and son talk.

"Father… I am happy that you took my mother away from that palace. That place is too chaotic. Too much politics and bickering, mom is always annoyed in that place that's why she would always go out and visit Shin City."

"It is my responsibility… I'm just regretful for not being there when she was having you."

"Hmm… It's okay. She always told me a lot of things about you. That's why I never really resent you."

"Sigh… I can't believe that the heavens are going to let me ascend this early. I'm not an old man yet you know…"

"Pfft… I know that you are, very powerful, father. And that I am proud of. I will work hard to be as strong as you are. I will work on my physique. I will make it worthy to enter the immortal land."

"Don't be hasty… take it, line upon line, little by little… that way your foundation would be stronger than others."

The two began to discuss cultivation techniques as Shin Jiao guided his young son on how to improve one's physique.

…

3 days later…

A new member of Shin Jiao's family was born. However, something happened that he didn't expect. Fate made its move.

Shin Jiao was monitoring the vitals of Susan Tang. She was fine and although the labor was very hard, she was still able to bear a beautiful child. Everyone is in jubilation upon hearing the news that the baby is fine.

Susan showed a pale complexion after giving birth. But her vitals show that she is doing fine.

Taking the baby in his arms, Shin Jiao felt very happy to be a father. It is his first time holding a newborn child of his own and it made his heart warm.

"Look, she has your eyes, and… she looks really looks like you." Shin Jiao happily said while showing the baby to Susan who is showing him an affectionate look.

But suddenly Shin Jiao showed a faint concern in his expression. For some unknown reason, he could feel that the vital energy of Susan Tang is slowly depleting. No matter how hard he tried to scan her body, he could not detect what is wrong.

And this made him feel panic.

"No… this cannot be…" he muttered.

His words shock the doctors on the operating table. They didn't know why their city lord is in panic, and they too could not detect what is happening.

"Susan… Susan, don't let go… okay… Don't… let go… I… I can't let you go just like this..."

"Sssh… It's okay… I just feel weak… really weak… Shin… Shin… I feel that something is calling me… it's… it's… the lights… beautiful… the light, they are really beautiful…"

"Nooo…! Don't go to the light! Don't let go yet… you promised to be with me… you promised to come and meet me in the immortal world… you cannot go yet… Susan…"

Shin Jiao became frantic that even the doctors and nurses inside the operating room were dumbfounded. They could see that everything is fine. However, from the looks of it, the patient's life force is slowly getting weaker and weaker.

"What the hell is happening?!" shouted Shin Jiao as he suddenly enveloped everything with his domain.

When he did that everyone was engulfed, and even those outside could feel that they are trapped in very strong power.

Shin Jiao then saw that it was Susan Tang's soul. Her soul is slowly being extracted by some invisible power. A power that even with Shin Jiao's strength, he is still unable to stop everything from happening.

"Who are you?! How dare you do this to my wife?!" shouted Shin Jiao in anger.

But no one answered him.

Then he saw it happened. When the last sliver of the soul of Susan Tang was about to be taken, Shin Jiao's tears could not be stopped anymore.

He held the cold hands of Susan Tang feeling helpless. His heart is filled with bitterness resentment, and for the first time in his life, he wanted to rage.

"Shin… it's okay… If… if this is my end… then so be it. I just want you to know that I am happy to be your woman. I am happy that you are by my side even though it was just for short while. At least you made me happy, and I know that you love me…"

"I will keep you forever in my heart. I will do all I can to see you again… I love you, Susan…" Shin Jiao said while crying his heart out.

"I love you, too, my Shin…"

Shin Jiao slowly and with a heavy heart kissed her dried lips. And from that kiss, he both heard and feel her took her last breath.

Shin Jiao uncontrollably cried while hugging the body of Susan Tang.

"No… why is this happening? I did everything I could… what could I have done more? Tell me!" Shin Jiao shouted as he cried while looking up.

It was as if he is talking to someone who is staying in the heavens. His heart was in pain, his emotion is in turmoil and his mind is unstable.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice.

It was the voice of a woman whom he is familiar with and met once. However, from the tone of her voice, he knew that this woman seems different. She sounded sinister and not the gentle goddess he knew.

"Hihi… Oh, poor lowly human. I should have taken your life… but… it is better to make you suffer for what you have done. You have hurt my husband and for that, I took your wife… Hihi… It was a fair trade, right?"

"Nuah… How?... It was you… you took her from me? Why? I didn't kill Gaeus Ro! He is still alive! Plus…"

"Shut up! You hurt him! And you have to pay… Hihi… this pretty soul is now mine. Do you want revenge? Come find me then… if you can… Hihi… I will leave this rotten world and go back. Bye! Bye! Hihihi…"

The annoying words of the different Goddess Nuah made Shin Jiao thoroughly mad. However, he knew that he could not do anything.

She was a celestial deity, ruler of stars, and worlds. According to his knowledge, if Shin Jiao reaches the immortal world, he would be considered as the lowest Telestial Deity and that is after he could completely form 100 spheres in his dantian.

The second stage would be Terrestrial Deity, which is a thousand times stronger than a mere Telestial Deity. And the third stage is Goddess Nuah's power, the Celestial Deity. This means that she is a hundred thousand times stronger than a Terrestrial Deity.

Although angry, Shin Jiao could still think a bit rationally. He is just a bit baffled on how she was able to escape that 'prison land'? Then suddenly, he recalled her daughter Yunya.

As if answering his mind, Yunya suddenly appear in thin air floating above Shin Jiao.

"Sigh… Brother Shin… I'm sorry about my mother's actions. I know that you are angry with her… I am also hopeless. But since you are kind to me and I kinda like your attitude, then I will help you."

With a wave of Yunya's hand, a beam of light suddenly absorbed Susan Tang's body. And then a small white crystal was formed.

"This is a crystallized form of her body. If you are able to get her soul back from my mother, then you could revive her back to life… Good luck." Yunya said after making the small white crystal float towards Shin Jiao.

"Wait… how could I find you and your mother?" Shin Jiao suddenly called out after he got the crystal in his hand.

However, no one answered as Yunya's figure is already gone.

But then before he could think of anything else, Shin Jiao heard Yunya's voice in his head.

"Trust your heart, and you can find me… I mean us. Hihi…"

Then suddenly everything turned to normal.

However, Shin Jiao noticed the confusion in everyone's eyes.

"What… what is happening? Why am I here?"

"Why am I wearing an operating gown?"

"This is really weird…"

The doctors and the nurses said while looking all over the place.

Shin Jiao decided to go out while carrying the child in swaddling clothes. He didn't know why those people forgot everything that just happened, but he now knew that his mental power is not yet that strong to do that.

As he walked out, he saw Qin Lou and the rest also looking confused outside the emergency room. Shin Jiao knew that it was either Yunya or that crazy goddess who did this.

Looking at the cloudy skies outside the window, Shin Jiao gritted his teeth.

"This enmity, I will make you pay for it a hundred times over. I swear I will take back Susan's soul and make sure that you regret turning me into your enemy..."

The supposed to be joyous occasion turned into a painful memory for Shin Jiao. However, he held the baby in his arm and walked out of the hospital.

The others just followed him quietly not understanding what just happened to them that day.
