Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 708: Meeting again.

Scarlet did not think that the day would come when she would be despised by her own baby but the look Black gave her clearly said, ’eat dirt lady.’

After giving her the disdainful look, Black blinked and a bowl of fruits on the ground was pulled towards her.

"Nope." Scarlet said and she diverted it to another side of the room.

Not too pleased, Black opened her mouth and made her displeasure loudly known. The air in the room was charged with white sparks of light that sparkled and hissed.

"That’s new." Grimm said grimly.

"That’s a life angel skill." Severus said, also grimly.

"It needs to be bound before the deity we all know but don’t love finds out and makes another ruckus." Shadowpaw suggested.

Scarlet sat up, lifted her baby and cradled her. "It’s okay sweet girl. If it’s fruit you want, mommy will give you fruit. Now hush my little baby, it’s a special day today. You get to save or catch your first soul. Isn’t it wonderful."

She raised her hand and a peach appeared. She didn’t feed the babies fruits when the rest of the family was watching on the Blue star but here in the underworld, they could nibble on spiritual fruits or drink a little of the juice. It was all good for strengthening their bodies.

Black rejected the peach and turned away. The little girl closed her mouth as well and frowned.

Scarlet sighed. When Black was this way, getting her to change her mind was hard.

"That baby has an attitude the size of the demon bone mountain." Lythia muttered.

She came closer and looked at Black. "Should i seal her life angel powers?" she asked Scarlet.

Scarlet reluctantly nodded her hand but quickly changed her mind. Decisions on anything to do with the babies and their special abilities couldn’t be made by her alone. She didn’t want this to become another source of contention between her and Esong or Nyx.

"Wait, we should wait for her father and hear what he thinks."

Lythia’s brows went up and she looked at Scarlet thoughtfully. It was true what they were saying about her, that she had changed. She now thought things through before taking action. Apparently she was also kinder, warmer and more approachable. Her reputation among the reapers was changing for the better.

The old her would have decided what she thought was good for the child without considering Esong’s opinion.

"We can do that, but we should do it soon. It is true what your hound says. Apo could raise a fuss again and claim he was deceived somehow when the council met....."

"Do it." a deep male voice cut in suddenly.

All heads turns in it’s direction and they saw the shadow prince of the underworld, coming towards them in his regal black outfit with a large scythe on his back. His hair was tied up in a pony tail, his eyes black had a red slit in the middle and his black wings smaller but visible, covering a part of his shoulders. He moved as if he owned the palace.

He kept his eyes on Scarlet, looking at her intensely as if she was the only thing in the room. She kept her eyes on him as well while urging her racing heart to slow down.

It was hard to tell if it was racing because she was excited, nervous or afraid.

There was something very commanding about his presence. He had always drawn attention whenever he stepped into a room but now, his aura had been magnified.

Somehow, her thoughts reverted to very first moment she set her eyes in him and stupidly blurted out the statement in which she talked about his father’s looks.

He stopped in front of her and sat down, facing her directly. His head had to be lowered to look into her eyes while she had to crane her neck to look up.

He reached his right hand upwards and put the palm on her cheek. She tilted her head slightly and leaned in to the touch.

Esong smiled, as if that was the signal he needed to know that she was just as fulfilled as he was to see her.

"Hi." he said in a deep breathy voice.

"Hi." her voice came out whispery and shaky.

Just as it was on the first day, she found him to be breathtakingly good looking, incredibly attractive and she wanted to throw herself into his arms and receive some comfort.

She took a deep breath and clenched her fists by the sides of her body, exercising self control.

Scarlet was not the only one clenching her fists, Esong was the same way. He was maintaining a façade of calmness on the outside that he didn’t feel on the inside.

For starters, he wanted to hug and squeeze her tightly. He wanted to bury his nose in her neck and sniff deeply. He wanted to ravish her lips and remind himself of their sweet familiar taste. He wanted to ask her if she had missed him and how much. He wanted to tell her about the things he had experienced in the three months when he was soul searching. He wanted to know if her heart was willing to be opened to him again. He wanted__, wanted__, and wanted so many things.

"I..."

"I..."

Both of them spoke at the same time, and then stopped and laughed lightly.

"You should go first." Scarlet suggested.

He shook his head and gestured at her to go first. "Ladies first."

She bit her bottom lip and organized her thoughts, wondering what she wanted to ask him first. After all this time of communicating through texts where she had a lot to say, why was she drawing a blank when facing him finally.

"Say anything, just anything." she thought.

She opened her mouth and blurted out,

"How did you catch the baby eating demon?"

"Crap! not that." she thought.

Sure, she wanted to know about the baby demon hunting adventure which had taken him across thirteen worlds but right now didn’t seem like the right time when other important things to be discussed were waiting in line.

"Oh!" he responded, surprised. "Okay." he said unsurely. He looked at Lythia and smiled as he said, "Could i trouble you for some privacy and baby sitting services."

With a broad smile on her face the goddess replied, "Sure, sure."

She would have preferred to stay and watch their interaction but a direct request had been made and for once, she wanted to respect it. Although, she was not sure that the other deities would see it the same way.

Love had already arrived eager to see the conclusion of the love story she begun and fate had followed, waiting for an opportunity to take a look at Black.

Chaos was on the way too. He would not miss this for anything in the world. Of course, if they didn’t fight, he would be gone in thirty seconds.

Lythia, the hounds, the monkeys and every other creature dispersed. The goddess sealed off her palace to keep out eavesdroppers including deities like herself. This reunion needed to be private and intimate, not entertainment for the gods.
