Encounter

A parallel universe where Qinghua and Mobei meet, where do they meet?

———

Wow, a great new day to sleep and laze around in this small wooden hut. Mobei-Jun mumbled.

Ten jackpot seven delicious soul to be eaten, wringing their bodies and gulping all the sweet red juices inside of them.. delicious meal.

"As a demon underlord Mobei-Jun has always been arrogant and bossy! his air of ignorance is baffling me.. but i do not dare to pass by him and speak such words, who knows if he'll cut me up and serve me as a barbeque on new year's eve" Said the green goblin with gold in his pouch.

"I agree that bastard always behaves like he's the boss everywhere he goes.. last time he asked me to mine the caves with a pickaxe, he threw it at me and that pickaxe was dull as fuck!" The red goblin shouted.

"He never understand the hardship of us goblins, he only know how to rule other realms, if he's so great and all, why not just go and take the throne from that old fat man!" The green goblin screamed.

"Hey don't scream so loud! boss is going to get angry if he heard you" The red goblin replied.

"You know Luo Binghe is a fat man all he does is collect wives"

"That's not true it's only gossip by the neighbors rejected by him!"

As they continue to chit-chat, a wind come gushing towards them, they hurriedly grab the broom and sweep the dry leaves in the garden.

"What were you both doing?" Mobei-Jun asked with a nonchalant tone.

"Ah..Lord, we were just doing our morning routine of, uh- sweeping the leaves.." said the red goblin

"Yes, yes that's right my lord, indeed" said the green goblin

They looked at each other with sweats falling down their ears, one wrong move means death. They do not want to die right after bullshiting their boss, maybe the pickaxe part were true, though.

"I need you both to clean the fountain today, come i'll ride you both there"

Mobei-Jun threw them on the clouds and flew to the fountain where it needed to be cleaned.

The fountain were full of dead leaves and slimy mold as they were scrubbing them off, Mobei-Jun walked around, there were big rocks and tall trees surrounding it, with chill weather about 16°c

Definitely a nice place to fall asleep he thought, he then laid on the ground a bit farther from where those goblins were scrubbing.

Under the tree shade, absolutely sleepifying.

He crossed his hand under his head and took a nap.

Someone arrived with a basket filled with apples, he waved above my head, i thought i could hear footsteps while i'm asleep. They called it survival instict. I do not sense harm from this man, what is he doing? Disturbing a sleeping person?

As i slightly opened my eyes, i saw those brown eyes and hazel hair, it's beautiful, i thought. I stared at it and looked away, blushing a little.

"Why were you sleeping in this place?" He asked

"I-i'm supervising my slaves to clean this place."

I answered a bit nervously.

I've grown old, and in my 3000 years of living, to feel shy like this is just embarassing at this point. An old man behaving like a shy girl is not cute at all.

He chuckled at me before asking "What's your name? Sir?"

"I- uhm, it's Mobei-Jun"

"What a nice name!, so are you a nothern lord? Since 漠北 Mòběi means northern desert?"

"No no- uh not here" since Mobei-Jun was a northern desert ruler in the demon realm, not the human realm.

"I see" he replied.

"What about you? What is your name?" I asked.

"Me? I'm shang qinghua, 尚 Shàng for value and 清华 Qīnghuá for clear. Hoping that i'd always have a clear sight for what's valuable in life i guess, hehe" He chuckled

And that's, when i fell in love.

His laugh, his smile his brown eyes and hazel brown hair, his caramel soft voice, his soft demeanor, i could not have resisted it all.

I'm done for. I'm basically a grandpa experiencing love after being alone for so long. What should i do??
