Chapter 61: Reassurance and Breakthrough.

When the beast heard the laughter of Li Yujian, it felt insulted: "What's so funny? I'm telling you, not everyone is as lucky as you to have me by their side!" It said with a smug tone.

"Thanks for gracing me with your majesty's presence, lord beast." Li Yujian said sarcastically, but the beast didn't understand the meaning in his words and hummed proudly, raising its chest high up in the air to show off its powerful aura.

Li Yujian rolled his eyes, he was too lazy to pay attention to this self-righteous beast.

It was already night time and his brothers had already gone to bed. He sent the beast into his sea of consciousness and decided to take a bath.

The beast that was suddenly thrown into the restricted space was confused for a moment and began to make a fuss again: "What are you doing? Let me out this instant!" The beast struggled around inside the sea of consciousness while shouting and screaming at him. It seems that the beast had been locked up for too long that it had an unspoken fear towards confined spaces.

Li Yujian chuckled to himself when he saw the beast's tantrum: "I'm about to shower, and besides, it's already late. I want to show you to my siblings tomorrow as a surprise so be good and stay still. The night is not very long."

Li Yujian's words seem to make sense. As a legendary beast, it does need to make a powerful entry so it could intimidate others. While the beast was planning his entry for tomorrow, Li Yujian took a quick shower and went to bed.

Li Yuhan hadn't slept yet and was lying on the bed, obviously waiting for Yujian. The twin beds that were separated in the room were joined back together by him. He hasn't overcome the fear yet when Yujian was kidnapped.

"You're still up." Yujian took a quick glimpse at Yuhan and sat at the table to dry his hair.

"I wasn't waiting for you." Yuhan replied flatly.

Yujian's hand paused in midair. His head turned to Yuhan who was laying down on the other side of the room only for a moment and sighed: "Lair."

Yuhan didn't refort but changed the topic; "How's your guardian spirit? Can I see it?"

"You will see it tomorrow. Just don't hold too much expectations." After speaking, he changed into sleepwear and climbed onto the bed. The room was silent but none of them were asleep.

After a few minutes, Yujian suddenly turned around, two pairs of similar eyes met in the dark , their eyes were like a pair of black holes that seemed able to devour each other. Yuhan was stunned for a moment and didn't have time to look away. He could only smile awkwardly, unsure what to say after the awkward silence.

Luckily, Yujian spoke first: "Yuhan, you don't have to blame yourself. You did nothing wrong. That day was a pure coincidence, it could have been you who was taken. Luckily, Daddy arrived just in time and was able to rescue me. See, I'm no longer in danger so don't worry." Yujian said reassuringly, trying to console Yuhan. They were twins after all, so he could tell Yuhan's emotions had been messed up since the kidnapping incident.

Yuhan had been holding this in for a long time, but hearing Yujian comforting him, he couldn't keep a straight face anymore. His voice broke and he said hoarsely: "I know..." Yuhan sobbed quietly. He couldn't keep the tears in anymore. He knew he should not cry at this moment, but he was unable to stop the tears from flowing from his eyes. He buried his face in his pillow: "I was scared, really really scared. It happened so suddenly. What if Dad was a few minutes late? What if he wasn't strong enough and couldn't defeat that demon? What if it was too late by the time he rescued you? Then you... I'd rather been the one who was taken away." He cried miserably.

Yujian sat beside Yuhan and wrapped him in his arms, hugging him tightly: "But Dad was there. He arrived just in time and was strong enough to defeat the demon. Like you said, it was unexpected when the demon broke into our room. But I was glad to be the one taken away, if he'd choose instead what would I have done? If you remain in this state because of me, I won't be able to move on either." He whispered softly, stroking Yuhan's back, calming him down.

"I know, but I can't just get over it all of a sudden." Yuhan whispered softly, after calming down, he couldn't help being embarrassed.

Yujian chuckle: "Why don't you do what you're best at?"

Yuhan looked at him skeptically: "Which is?" He asked curiously.

Yujian smirked: "Put on your favorite invisible mask; fake it till you make it. And in no time, you'll be back to normal." He teased playfully.

The thought struck Yuhan's. He pushed Yujian away and laid down with his back facing him: "Bastard, I was worried about you for nothing." He muttered under his breath.

Yujian smile remains unchanged: Everything would definitely be alright.

Yujian: 'I have to train harder and become stronger!'

Yuhan: 'I have to train harder and become stronger!'

Li Jain who was eavesdropping at the door, also smiled. His little buns are really good to each other. But this is the emotion he couldn't understand. What is this strong desire of wanting to protect others when oneself is helpless? Li Jain knew he was able to save his older son because it was his responsibility, because he loved him, and mostly because he was confident that he could.

He had never been in such a desperate situation before. Sigh, he really couldn't understand.

Because of this enlightenment, Li Jain was forced to break through that night. After various failed attempts to restrict his spiritual power, he finally broke through three levels and moved on to the next realm *Soul Palace*.
