Bai-Lung's Proposal

"I thought l won't see you in my world again" Jin-Li said,

"Maybe l came here with an important news" Guanyin answered.

Jin-Li looked at his fellow god suspiciously, "and what news would bring the god of the mortal world to my faithful abode" he said.

"If l should guess, it's about your youngest son, l think the supreme god have found interest in your son", Guanyin said

Jin-Li stood up angrily from his throne, "what are you hinting at Guanyin" he said angrily.

Calm down, Jin-Li, the real reason why am here is that Bai-Lung wants to see you, he said, he has something urgent to discuss with you and as l said, l guess it's about your younger son, Bai-Ni ", Guanyin answered.

" Alright, message well received, l will meet with the supreme god tomorrow, thank you Guanyin" Jin-Li said and Guanyin disappeared to the human world.

Meanwhile, Bai-Ni was sitting at the terrace in the palace of the shadow world staring at the moon quietly, his best friend, Ji-Yoon entered,

"Still thinking about the supreme god" she said.

"I don't know Ji-Yoon, why am l drawn to the supreme god like this?" he asked still gazing at the moon.

Ji-Yoon sat next to Bai-Ni and observed silence for a while

"Bai-Ni, no matter how you try to deny the answer, it's obvious, Bai-Ni, you are in love with the supreme god" she suggested.

Bai-Ni cast his head down, "Even if it's true, you know this kind of love is impossible, it's a curse and a forbidden one" he said.

"If you are talking about the rule of the divine balance, you are right and l suggest you try to forget him and move on" Ji-Yoon suggested.

"You think it's that easy, to forget someone, you love and just move on?, of course Ji-Yoon, it will be easy for you because you haven't fallen in love before" with that Bai-Ni got up and varnished.

The next day, Jin-Li went to the celestial realm as demanded of him, he entered the throne room where Bai-Lung was seated on his throne, he bowed as custom demanded of him and took his seat by the supreme god's order.

"You sent for me Bai-Lung? ", he asked.

"Yes l did" Bai-Lung answered.

"So if l may ask, what is the purpose of this meeting" Jin-Li asked.

"Why the rush, Jin-Li, come join me, let's drink before l tell you why l invited you" Bai-Lung demanded.

Jin-Li, though cautious accepted the offer.

Both gods drank, laughed and enjoyed themselves a while.

"Do you know why l summoned you here?", Bai-Lung asked.

"No, unless you tell me your intentions ", Jin-Li answered

"Is Bai-Ni your son", Bai-Lung asked.

Jin-Li straightened up, "yes, he is, why do you ask?" Jin-Li said.

"Your son is one of a kind, do you know that" Bai-Lung asked while raising a cup to his lips.

"Yes, if you are talking about his attitude, a demon shouldn't be that calm and reserved and l will blame his mother for that because she raised him and spoiled him too much" Jin-Li said.

"No, it's not about his attitude, but there is something that draws me closer to that young demon prince" Bai-Lung answered.

Jin-Li laughed, "don't tell me you as a supreme god is falling in love with a demon prince, you do realize that it is forbidden right?" Jin-Li asked.

Bai-Lung blushed at the mention of the young demon prince, he got up and paced around the throne room nervously, "what nonsense" he blurted out, "l am a supreme god, why will l break the rule just for a mere demon" he added.

"A mere demon you say, he is my son and the second Prince of the shadow world, all demons bow down to him and so do the mortal emperor's family at the mortal realms" Jin-Li blurted out angrily.

"Alright, alright, l have nothing against your son Jin-Li and l don't have any feelings for him, but your son cultivate a power that will come in handy in the future" Bai-Lung answered.

Jin-Li stood up abruptly from his seat, "what are you hinting at Bai-Lung", he asked.

Bai-Lung decided not to beat around the bush anymore and answered directly, "l want to train your younger son, Jin-Li, which he has to settle here in my palace, by my side and l will take on the role as his master"

Jin-Li was shocked and furious at the same time.

Will Jin-Li accept Bai-Lung's Proposal?

Or is there more to Bai-Lung motives apart from just training Bai-Ni?
