Chapter 404 404: Dual Cultivation
"So, shall we discuss the pressing matters? Why was it so vital for me to see you?" Das's voice trembled ever so slightly, the unease manifesting in the quiver of his words.
There was a pause, a momentary stillness where the very air seemed to hold its breath. The blind seer cleared her throat, the sound a soft, fragile interruption to the dense silence. "I... I... want to execute a forbidden rite to decipher your destiny," she murmured, the hesitance in her voice stark against her usual confident demeanour.
Das's eyes widened in astonishment. The ethereal luminescence granted by his unique vision seemed even more radiant against the growing shadows of uncertainty. "What?! But... why? And...
what exactly is a forbidden ritual?" His words came out in a flurry, as if trying to catch up with the whirlwind of thoughts racing through his mind.
Eden's sister took a deep breath, each intake seeming to draw in the room's ambient energy. "Throughout the art of divination, myriad actions and karmas are undertaken. But some are labelled 'forbidden' because of the perilous consequences they bear. Often, these rites can risk the very life of the one performing them," she elucidated, her voice a melodic whisper that sent chills down Das's spine.@@@@
A prolonged silence enveloped them, with only the soft sounds of their synchronised breathing breaking the stillness. Eden's sister finally broke the silence, her voice laden with a mix of hope and anxiety. "So, tell me. Will you permit me to proceed with my request?"
"Wait... stop hurrying. Let me think," Das began, his voice riddled with confusion and doubt, yet there was an underlying firmness that demanded answers. As his gaze met hers, the intensity in his eyes was unmistakable. "First off all why are you so intent on deciphering my destiny?"
She paused for a moment, gathering her thoughts. The profound depths of her blind eyes seemed to hold countless secrets and knowledge. "It's imperative to foresee the challenges that may cross our path," she started, her voice soft yet assertive.
"A few days back, visions filled my mind, whispering of a great war amongst the hidden families. An event of such magnitude that it threatens to shake the very foundations of our world. I need to discern your role in this impending chaos."
But Das did not believe her words a single bit. He already understood that she wants to whether he can take revenge for them against the Taurus family. But he already promised them that. So, he did not felt offended by her schemes.As her words sunk in, a myriad of thoughts coursed through Das's mind.
"If that's the case, why do you need my agreement? Do I have to play some active role in this ritual?" he inquired, seeking clarity.
"No," came her crisp reply, the terseness of it catching Das off guard.
His eyebrows furrowed, a mix of frustration and bewilderment painting his face. "Then why the elaborate setup? Why drag me all the way here when a simple call would suffice?" He probed, the edges of his voice sharpening with suspicion.
But even before she could muster a reply, an insight flashed across Das's mind. He held up his words, signalling her to wait.
"There's something else, isn't there? You've never been one to seek permission from others. Your actions have always spoken louder. What's the real game here?" His words were a challenge, a confrontation.
The ambient dimness of the room seemed to grow heavier, absorbing the weight of their exchanged words. The faint violet light from the extinguished lamp played tricks on the walls, casting hazy, flickering shadows that mirrored the tension and suspense in the air.
With a heavy sigh, Eden's blind sister leaned back slightly, her usually poised demeanour showing the slightest signs of weariness. "I had hoped Eden would've explained," she began, her tone softer, more introspective. "It appears she left out some crucial details."
Das got perplexed after hearing her question. He did not understand what to reply her.
"If I speak truth, I never thought much about your character. But What I know is, you care a lot about your sister and the revenge against taurus family. More than...." Das stopped in the middle as she interrupted him.
"I'm not asking that. What do you think about me as a woman? you already saw me naked. So, tell me, am I ugly and not up to your taste?" Eden's asked in a firm tone as she awaited his response.
"What the hell?!!!!" Das felt blasted after hearing her. Several thoughts were racing inside his brain. For a second, he did understood what she is plotting. But he couldn't speak his mind as he don't want to act like a monster.
"Das, speak directly. I won't get offended. I already know no one will like a blind girl. I never know what I'm like outside. So, tell me honestly." Eden's sister asked again with a serious face.
"You may don't know, I'm already in love with your sister. We both are already entangled together and....." before Das could finish she interrupted him.
"I know about that. My sister already told me everything and my sister won't have any objections in our matter."
"So, tell me. What do you think about me?" She asked again.
"Ahhh... what the funk is going on?!!!! Thank god. At least I'm not pressed in sister's matter." Das thought internally. After thinking a bit, he finally decided to speak honestly.
"See, You are definitely not ugly. I personally think you are more beautiful than your sister. Das replied directly.
"But before speaking more, I really want to know the real reason for you in asking me all this." Das asked in a stern tone. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
