48 Chapter 48
"W-what are you s-say-ing?"stuttered Jasmine
"Why didn't you ever tell me Jasmine?you aren't a soul but a human. Alive human in hell,how is that possible?"mumbled Cheng,his voice raising a little bit
"What are you saying Cheng",said Jasmine,still pretending to be oblivious
"Don't behave as if you don't know what I'm talking about Jasmine",Cheng shouted.
"You are scaring me",said Jasmine. She had never seen Cheng behave this way before. He hadn't even behave like this in the book.
"I'm sorry",Cheng said softly. "Just talk to me,Jasmine. How did you end up here?"
"I don't know ok?I literally don't know. I came out of the mall and ended up here",said Jasmine.
"Is this the first time?"asked Cheng,to which Jasmine shook her head
"It isn't?",spoke Cheng again and Jasmine nodded.
"Have you been here before?"Asked Cheng
"No,not here but two other places. With the same people"said Jasmine as she explained to Cheng
"same people?"
"Yup"
"People like?"questioned Cheng
"You,Shang, Succubus,Nimune and Mina",said Jasmine. She explained every thing to him without forgetting a detail. She was scared at the beginning when he started asking questions. Was this the day, she was going to be perished by the hands of her own crush. Someone who she had been crushing on even after reading the novel. She could literally call him her first love.
"How did you know?"Jasmine questioned him
"Father did. He had a feeling that you weren't a soul and he ran an investigation",replied Cheng
"We never met before,so how could he know I wasn't a soul?"Jasmine asked.
"He's a ruler,so he knows everyone that enters his territory."
"ohh"

When Jasmine left the duo,they stared at each other without one backing away. Stan laughed at the silly thing he and his precious and favourite son were doing.
"You see,you are a king. A king that should have a very fine taste. You shouldn't just pick any random person especially a soul but that girl, she's definitely not a soul"said Stan
"What are you saying?"asked Cheng as he didn't understand what his father was saying.
"She's not a sinful soul. Though she has sinned but there she's not supposed to be here. It like she transported to this place--hell. There wasn't even a gate that lead to hell in the human world. One will have to die before they can see and approach the bridge to the afterlife before knowing where their stand will be."
"So?she already di-" Cheng halted and remembered he had a vision. Jasmine was in the place where wandering souls where but he went to save her because it was like she was calling out to him. He reasoned,maybe it was her fate to wander around. But age literally didn't smell like a soul and it never bothered him
"So,what if she's not a soul? does she it matter?"Muttered Cheng. He didn't even want to think of sending Jasmine away. He had already started for feel something for her. He mightn't understand what he's feeling,but he strongly knows that he wants her close to him.
"Humans can't be in hell Cheng,it wouldn't balance the world of the humans and dead",spoke Stan
"Explain in a better way,Sire"
"It's Father,no one's here",spoke Stan
"Father"
"One thing that is important is the balance of the world. We Demons have the privilege to visit the human world but our subordinates will never
Our subordinates are the sinful souls who are serving their punishment. They can never leave hell. It likewise to humans. No human can visit hell except when dead,the Protector and Ruler of both the heaven and Earth made it known to every heavenly being. We shall balance the world by not letting souls roam around the human world just the same way humans can never roam around Hell nor Heaven." Explained Stan
"Ok,but there isn't any loophole. And it even impossible for a human to come to hell and roam around"spoke Cheng
"It's possible. The Witches that are in Earth made it possible. Thousands of years back,Human were sent to hell through a gate. Hell was chaotic back then as we were all planing,evacuating plans in how to stop them. No matter how we lock every gate that leads to hell,they still sent humans that weren't dead. Heaven was angry as they thought we were the ones that manipulates the witches mind and making them do such a thing.
The Witches plan from the start was to evade Heaven,wipe every one in it and then take over it. Same thing applies to hell. But they forgot that they were made by the Heavens. Literally,all the thought they had was sinful but it wasn't we that manipulated them. It was someone else,who wanted to destroy we all and then rule. They tested with the humans firstly,so that when they also want to enter,nothing shall before them. It was at that time,the Hell and Heaven came together to defeat the manipulator. Someone who want me but wanted evidence pointing at me. It was after then we were granted bright sky at that part of hell. Every source that could ever lead to humans entering hell or heaven was destroy. The world was balanced after shaking. Don't ask me cause I won't say what happened when the world wasnt balanced. I just briefed you,"explained Stan
"Ok,does it mean that such a thing is happening again?"
"I think so. I'm so certain but yes",said Stan before patting Cheng on the shoulder and walking away. Cheng tried to make everything sink into his brain. Jasmine couldn't be a human but what if she was?would he gave to send her back?and it wasn't as if he couldn't follow her,he had duties to perform. He had responsibilities and he couldn't risk Jasmine's life as he was certain,his father won't spare her if he ever decide to leave to the human world with her.
