Kunlun Mountain Part 4 - The Return

Chapter 62 - Gaogui

Keeping to her word, Gaogui was gone a little over an hour and the entire Kunlun Mountain family were waiting for him. Arriving in a flash of lightening and a thick deep red mist, his form stumbled heavily at the entrance where Mo Yuan and Bai Qian along with Zhe Yan and Di Jun were waiting.

"Gui Gui..." Bai Qian whispered as Mo Yuan caught him in his arms. Visibly shaking, and pale, Mo Yuan gripped him tightly to keep him on his feet.

"I'm alright, I'm just a little weak." he said softly as Mo Yuan and Zhe Yan helped him back to his chamber by which stage Ye Hua was running for the steps.

"No talking until I've had a good look at you." He said to Gaogui but his words were meant for Bai Qian who was rushing to keep up with them.

"I'm fine really.  I just need to rest." he said without looking up.

His head was down but they could all feel his energy which was throbbing about his body, though Ye Hua noticed something else. For a brief moment, his eyes had flickered open to stare back at him, but in that moment he saw several changes which he kept to himself, but stayed close in case he was needed.

Now heading into his chamber which was already prepared for him, he was quickly stripped of his outer robe and helped down onto his bed. Though the moment his head hit the pillow, he was already in a deep sleep which Zhe Yan and Mo Yuan tried to rouse him from.

Forcing her way in between them, Bai Qian too tried to awaken her son but the more Mo Yuan tried to force her back, the more she fought against him.

"Mo Yuan! He's my son too." she cried. Gaogui looked anything but alright, he was too pale, and his body was still trembling.

"Xiao Wu, stand back and let me look at him." Zhe Yan said as he forcefully took her arm and moved her back.

In tears and clinging to Mo Yuans hand they all stood back as Zhe Yan examined him thoroughly, though the longer he took the more excited he seemed to get.

"Mo Yuan, look at this." he said turning towards him.

With his hand still being clung to by Bai Qians, Mo Yuan took his other hand and raised it above his sons body to scan him where Zhe Yan was pointing. But the moment his energy delved inwards, his inner sight immediately opened to get a closer look.

Not only was the blood bloom from the original plant coursing through his veins, but it had gathered within his core which was literally throbbing madly.

"What's happening Mo Yuan." Bai Qian asked when he too seemed to be getting just as excited as Zhe Yan.

"His energy has grown much stronger, and from what I can see, it is growing stronger by the second. She did say the changes would be immediate, and he also said that he just needs to rest." He said pulling out.

But it was his hair they were all staring at. With each passing second, they began to notice the change in color. Originally, his hair was red but after his long years among the Orchid People, he learned he could change the color at whim so had taken on their white hair. But it seemed as if his hair was being forced back to its original colour. Only it was taking on the same hue as Lai Cuifen.

Pulling back an eyelid to check the pupils, Mo Yuan gasped audibly. Not only was his hair changing color but so were his eyes.

"What is it?" Zhe Yan asked as he moved in to check for himself.

"Well this is interesting. They are the same colour as hers." he said frowning.

"Green eyes?" Bai Qian asked moving back to also take a look.
