To The surface

No sound everything felt silent peaceful like time stopped and is was just Xian Huoyan by himself, alone....

Xiao Huoyan was oblivious and Meng Po was stressed she continued mumbling on to herself on the other hand Xiao Huoyan was still looking at that lily Meng Po couldn't believe how he could act like this. Like everything was fine it was infuriating at this point she just wanted him gone so she could act like none of this ever happened, she could just go back to doing her job of guiding the souls of the dead.

She thought long and hard about what to do with him if only he was still unconscious ,if only he was still conscious?

"That's it!" Meng Po yelled aloud jumping up from her spot on a stone Xiao Huoyan also jumped from her yell standing up along with her. In an instant she held her hand up as a dagger formed in her palm with the word forget carved into its handle she then held it in front of Xiao Houyan.

"Kill yourself" Xiao Huoyan was at a loss for words only stuttering out and "Excuse me".

"I'm not asking you" her voice carried confidence and control which only made Xiao Huoyan more afraid.

"Your body is still in that river while your consciousness is here, you are likely bleeding out right now basically your soul has left your body because it shut down that's why your here but it looks like someone doesn't wasn't you to die with those sigils you have but you might still have a chance if you want to go back to the world of the living slit your throat" someone doesn't want him to die huh, well i guess that's good information to know Xiao Houyan thought as he slowly grabbed the dagger from Meng Po hand.

It was cold to the touch like holding snow in your hands Xiao Huoyan slowly very slowly lifted the dagger to his throat but his hand stopped as soon as the blade touched his neck.

"Can't i just stab myself in the heart or something" Xiao Huoyan said.

"No it has to be the throat" she said.

"Why?" Meng Po just shrugged her shoulders still waiting for him to leave already. That was definitely not enough for him in fact it made him want to stab her.

"Can't you kill me" he wasn't scared of dying Xiao Huoyan just didn't want to stab himself because it felt more painful for some reason.

"No i can't hurt humans" her expression never changed it was starting to annoy him.

"Oh really, what about when you hit me in the-" she immediately cut him off.

"Nope no i already apologized for that" she spat out covering her ears.

Xiao Huoyan wonder how a goddess over a thousand years old could act so childish.

"Screw it" Xiao Huoyan raised the blade to his neck once more but paused.

"...." Xiao Huoyan stared at Meng Po as if he was expecting something.

"what..." as she stared back at him.

"Are you not going to say bye" she let out a groan before reluctantly saying bye to Xiao Huoyan.

He held the blade stedy taking a breath as he plunged the dagger in to this throat there was no blood no sound nothing Meng Po saw the life leave his eyes that bright purple turned into a dull black in a second. His body was engulfed in black flames and he was gone Meng Po now stood alone she plucked a blue lily from the ground lifting it over her head.

"You can't disturbed the dead Xiao Huoyan i hope you make the right choice" the lily withered soon passing along as dust in the air.
