Chapter 55 – Chinese Bellflower (1)

April 26, 2024 / / 1 Comment

       The artillery fire from the Imperial aircraft ship tore through the darkened borders of Olympus, and the other side activated its first level of defence. The firepower momentarily was on par with that of the Empire, and the light trails of missiles formed a dense net. Qin Yun piloted his aircraft, dodging the debris falling from the sky

       Shen Zhuofan and Lin Dongliang each led a team, while Chen Xiao took his own Star Thief member to act with Tristana. The artillery fire above Olympus was concentrated, and the land was not much better. The three groups were forced to separate and could only rely on communication devices to keep in touch.

       “This place is ridiculously big.” There was some noise around Shen Zhuofan, and Lin Dongliang couldn’t help but ask him, “Where are you?”

       Shen Zhuofan, “It seems like a sewer? I don’t know… I just encountered a group of patrols and killed them.”

       Tristana complained, “It’s uncomfortable where I stay. It’s so cold without anyone.”

       Chen Xiao’s voice came with a playful tone, “You’re cold? Then how about we dance together to warm up?”

       Qin Yun really didn’t know what to say to these two people who kept flirting with each other even when they were on the battlefield. He had a map in his hand, but as Shen Zhuofan said, this place was so big that he might not be able to figure it out even if he looked at the map.

       “I have to find someone to ask.” Qin Yun muttered to himself. He scanned the surroundings and leapt onto the roof, grabbing onto the electric poles along the road. Not far away, a group of patrol soldiers passed by, and Qin Yun squinted to see Breaux among them.

 

       Shen Zhuofan shuttled in a giant steel pipe that resembled a sewer. He encountered many patrols. He tried to hide from those who could, but he had to fight quickly for those who could not. In the end, the further he walked in, the more problems he discovered.

       “I think I seemed to be in an ammunition storage.” Shen Zhuofan hid in the junction interface. From where he was, he could faintly see the internal structure. Thousands of conduits were densely arranged, leading in uncertain directions.

       Lin Dongliang pondered, “There are rumours that there are bombs buried under Olympus, and if they explode together, they can destroy half the planet.”

       Shen Zhuofan didn’t answer. He turned on the flashlight and studied the map. His eyes slowly moved up along the conduits, and he said with a stern expression, “Maybe… that’s not a rumour.”

       Lin Dongliang: “?”

       Shen Zhuofan: “I seem to have found the lead.” He whispered, “It leads to the laboratory above ground.”

 

       Breaux blocked the door of the laboratory. The sentinel beside him was hypnotised, but Qin Yun was still standing unscathed in front of him. The whites of the guide’s eyes turned a faint golden colour. Breaux’s face changed greatly, and he subconsciously pushed the button on the lab’s doorknob.

       “…” Qin Yun frowned and looked at Breaux, who was protected by an unknown transparent material. The other person’s expression relaxed, and he even said proudly and provocatively, “No matter how strong your mental power is, you can’t penetrate this.” He reached out and knocked the transparent inner cover smiling sarcastically, “It seems you can’t enter the laboratory.”

       Qin Yun said nothing. He silently opened the bag on his shoulder, then pulled out a huge high-energy cannon and easily carried it on his shoulder.

       Breaux: “…”

       “I can help you try it.” Qin Yun showed a humble smile, “Is it strong enough?”

 

       The tip of the Dragon Scale sword pierced Kyle’s chest. Moschery breathed heavily, one eye glaring normally while the other, the dragon eye, was a bloody mess

       Zhongyan lay on the ground. It whimpered, and tried to get up but failed.

       There was almost no intact part of the dragon’s wings. At the last moment, Kyle’s mental power turned into a dagger and stabbed into one of Zhongyan’s eyes.

       Bixi fell not far away. She spent all her mental energy to restrain Kyle. If it hadn’t been for her, Kyle’s last blow would have been more than just the Emperor’s eyes.

       Moschery staggered and knelt beside her, hugging her into his arms.

       This was what Qin Yun saw when he came in. He spent almost all his energy to steady himself and took his mother from Moschery’s arms with trembling hands.

       “Little Bixi.” Qin Yun called softly. He stroked the other person’s silver hair scattered around her ears and pressed his forehead gently against Bixi’s cheek, “Little Bixi…”

       Bixi’s pupils had lost focus, and the silver eye whites were like inorganic cold light. Her spiritual link, Black Pearl, had shattered into pieces of crystals and slowly rose up, finally spiralling and disappearing in mid-air.

       Shen Zhuofan’s voice in the communication device was very anxious, “You can’t touch Helu’s body… He is connected to the fuse underneath. It will explode immediately if it is moved. Moreover, the bomb is set for a time. Even if it is not touched for half an hour, it will also detonate the bomb.”

       Moschery closed his eyes, took a deep breath and gave the order, “You all retreat outside the safety line, and we will find a way out on our own.”

       Shen Zhuofan’s expression was worried. He hesitated for a long time and then made a military salute as if he had made up his mind, “No matter what, please come back safely.”

 

       Bixi was lying in Qin Yun’s arms; her breathing was weak, and she no longer had the strength to speak much.

       “My little guy.” Bixi sighed, “Don’t cry.”

       Qin Yun’s eyes were red, but he didn’t cry. Moschery hugged his shoulders from behind.

       Bixi smiled softly, “Put me next to Helu.”

       Qin Yun shook his head, “I can’t leave you here.” He spoke with difficulty, “We can’t take Helu away. How can we leave you behind again.”

       Bixi: “I would die if you bring me back anyway. It would be better to let me die beside him.”

       Qin Yun didn’t speak. He tightened his jaw, always showing a refusal.

       Bixi’s eyes were gentle, lingering carefully over Qin Yun’s facial features as if she wanted to remember them forever.

       “I want to accompany him at the end.” Bixi patted Qin Yun’s hand and looked at Moschery, “This can be considered a joint burial, no?”

 

       Qin Yun watched Moschery carry Bixi to Helu’s side. His Majesty the Emperor picked up the sealed tube that fell on the ground and handed it to the latter’s hand.

       Bixi smiled and said thank you.

       She lay on her side, stretched out her arms with difficulty to hug Helu’s body, her long silver hair spread on the other person’s chest, and carefully held the sealed tube hidden in Helu’s heart.

       Qin Yun finally lowered his head and kissed his mother’s forehead, and the Chinese Bellflower badge Moschery gave him peeked out from his collar.

       Bixi stared at the pattern on it for a while, then stretched out her hand to tuck it into Qin Yun’s collar.

       “Go.” She pushed her son’s hand and said calmly, “If you don’t leave, you won’t be able to leave.”

 

       The aircraft was too far away, and there were less than ten minutes left before it was too late to reach it. Zhongyan was too injured to carry the two people, so Moschery could only take it back into the realm of consciousness.

       Qin Yun summoned Ishtar, and he helped Moschery sit on it.

       “Where are you going?” The Emperor grabbed Qin Yun’s wrist, “Come up together!”

       Qin Yun said anxiously, “I’m going to get the aircraft. I’m afraid it won’t be able to fly with two people.”

       “It can.” Moschery insisted, “It’s too late, let’s go together.”

       The two confronted each other for a while, and in the end, Qin Yun still succumbed to the gaze of Moschery. He gritted his teeth, mounted Ishthar’s back, and shielded the Emperor in front of him.

       The unicorn spread its white wings, raised its front hooves and let out a neighing sound.

       Qin Yun couldn’t help but turn around and take one last look at the two people on the experimental table. In a place he couldn’t see, Bixi took out a pendant from her neck. The pattern on it was unmistakably a purple-blue Chinese Bellflower.

 

       Ishtar ran so fast that Qin Yun could even see the airflow swirling under its wings.

       “Fly…” Qin Yun shouted, “Fly, Ishtar!”

       The unicorn’s golden spiral horn burst with dazzling radiance, and Ishtar, like a white lightning bolt, tore through the black curtain of the night. A tremendous explosion echoed behind the two, and a surging tongue of fire swept upward, narrowly licking the unicorn’s mane and tail in a perilous dance.

       Qin Yun used his whole back to protect Moschery in his arms, resisting the spattering sparks. The Emperor turned back and kissed the other person’s lips, and Qin Yun’s cold tears fell on his face.

 

       Explosions were heard one after another, and in just a few seconds, Olympus had been reduced to a sea of ​​fire.

       “Bixi also has a Chinese Bellflower badge given to her by Helu.” Moschery said suddenly. He lowered his head and kissed the tears on Qin Yun’s face carefully, “She always thought it was just a graduation medal, but in reality, it was my father’s unspoken admiration.”

       Moschery said, “There are many ways to love, and what belongs to them is silence and protection.”

       Qin Yun hugged Moschery tightly. He looked at the dimming fire of Olympus in the distance and seemed to see purple-blue Chinese Bellflowers dancing in the flames.

 

Chinese Bellflower flower’s words——

Eternal love, hopeless love.

 

The author has something to say:

Legend has it that the blooming of Chinese bellflowers represents the return of happiness. However, some people can seize happiness, while others are destined to miss it. Unable to grasp it, they also cannot retain the flower. Therefore, the bellflower carries a dual meaning — eternal love and hopeless love.

So I let Bixi take the loss… Sorry for the abrupt change, but I think what I wrote is still okay, not too cruel…

Chapter 53 – Panda

April 25, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       Song Jun was a little unbelievable, “You dare to deceive Jade Emperor?”

       Xia Hongshen raised the corners of his mouth, put away the Thousand Years Lamp, and said, “So what?”

       In fact, it didn’t matter much. As long as Xia Hongshen was unwilling to return to the heavenly realm, even without the pretext of the Thousand Years Lamp, the Jade Emperor couldn’t force him back.

       Song Jun was speechless for a moment. But it didn’t matter to him anyway; as long as Xia Hongshen didn’t want to go back to the heavenly realm, he didn’t want to go back either. He just wanted to be with him.

       Seeing that Song Jun stopped talking, Xia Hongshen asked, “What are you thinking about? Do you want to go back?”

       “No,” Song Jun denied and walked towards Xia Hongshen’s room, “This is good.”

       He stood in front of the window of the room, and Song Jun looked outside. He had been on this campus for a year. When he came, it was the hottest time of summer vacation. Now, in the blink of an eye, it was the hottest time of summer vacation again. He had gone through a lot, and his state of mind had completely changed.

       “I…” Song Jun originally wanted to say something, but two small things attracted his attention on the roof across the street. He saw two cats mating there.

       Song Jun suddenly had an idea. If Xia Hongshen saw this scene, it would be equivalent to letting him watch AV, right?

       So when Xia Hongshen stood up strangely and asked him what was wrong, Song Jun immediately said, “Nothing.” Then turned around and covered Xia Hongshen’s eyes.

       Xia Hongshen stood still.

       Song Jun suddenly felt that he was making a fuss, couldn’t help but smile and took back his hand.

       However, Xia Hongshen had already diverted his attention. He looked at Song Jun and said, “You wanted to bite my mouth that day.”

       Song Jun said, “That’s not a bite.”

       “What is that?”

       Song Jun smiled and said, “That’s a kiss.”

       Xia Hongshen asked, “Are you a woman?”

       Song Jun was not angry; he just felt a little strange, “I see you are looking at your laptop every day. What are you looking at?”

       “Thesis,” Xia Hongshen said.

       Song Jun was speechless for a moment.

       Xia Hongshen said, “I want to bite you.”

       Song Jun almost laughed when he heard what he said seriously, so he asked jokingly, “Where to bite?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “Lip.”

       After saying that, he really came up and bit Song Jun’s lower lip. He didn’t bite hard, but he just felt that Song Jun’s lips were very soft.

       Song Jun opened his mouth slightly and lightly touched Xia Hongshen’s lips with the tip of his tongue, guiding him to continue the kiss. In fact, he himself had no experience, but compared to Xia Hongshen, he still knew a lot.

       The soft and moist feeling when lips and tongue touch was really good. Xia Hongshen soon fell in love with this feeling.

       When Song Jun felt short of breath and wanted to hide away, Xia Hongshen pinched his chin to prevent him from evading.

       At this moment, Xi Anling suddenly opened the door and barged in. She originally came to see Xia Hongshen for something, but she didn’t expect to see the scene in front of her and was stunned.

       Song Jun still couldn’t help being shy and pushed Xia Hongshen away.

       Xi Anling stared at them, her eyes slowly filled with tears, and she said, “How could you do this?”

       “What about it?” Xia Hongshen’s tone was nonchalant.

       Xi Anling was so angry that she couldn’t speak because she didn’t know whether to be angry with Song Jun or Xia Hongshen. It was as if they were originally a family, but she was suddenly blocked from their relationship.

       The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and Xi Anling ran away angrily.

       “Are you going to leave her be?” Song Jun asked.

       Xia Hongshen said, “Ignore her.”

       Although he said that, Xia Hongshen might still care to some extent. So, on the next weekend, Xia Hongshen took them out for a day trip, and their destination was the zoo.

       When sitting in the car and setting off, Feng Junyuan suddenly asked, “Are you here to see the female leopard?”

       Song Jun suddenly felt a drop of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

       As it turned out, Xia Hongshen was not angry but replied, “No.”

       They weren’t going to see the female leopard, and he didn’t know what they were going to do. The zoo sounded like a place not worth looking forward to. Perhaps, aside from Long Xing, who might show some interest, the others weren’t very enthusiastic.

       Xi Anling was still immersed in the emotion of disappointment.

       As soon as she got out of the car, Song Jun went to buy her an ice cream.

       Xi Anling took it silently.

       After entering the zoo, several people quickly separated, leaving only Song Jun and Xia Hongshen together. Song Jun was confused for a moment and asked Xia Hongshen, “Want to go see the female leopard?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “No, let’s go see the giant pandas.”

       The zoo in the city was not necessarily much busier than the amusement park in the city, and it had just opened after the threat of infectious diseases had ended. They were probably the first batch of guests to come.

       Sitting on a bench in the giant panda pavilion, Song Jun looked at the giant pandas gnawing bamboo through a glass wall.

       Song Jun said, “Yueya is still unhappy.”

       Xia Hongshen said “Hmm” indifferently.

       Song Jun asked him, “Do you know why she is unhappy?”

       Xia Hongshen didn’t answer but suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Song Jun on his lap and sat down, pinched his chin and kissed him.

       Song Jun didn’t have time to react, thinking that luckily there was no one else around.

       At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the glass.

       Song Jun turned his eyes in surprise and found that the panda had climbed to the glass at some point and was watching them and knocked on the glass.

       Yes, that panda was holding bamboo in its mouth with one paw and knocking on the glass with the other paw.

       Song Jun quickly pushed Xia Hongshen away.

       Xia Hongshen was angry. He had been pushed away by Song Jun over and over again, and he couldn’t help but show his fangs and bite Song Jun on the back of the neck.

       Song Jun’s attention was not on Xia Hongshen at this time because he saw the giant panda waving to him and motioning for him to come over.

       Song Jun stood up and walked slowly to the glass wall. Looking at the giant panda through the glass, he suddenly felt that it looked familiar.

       Then the giant panda threw away the bamboo, stood up against the glass wall, and stretched out his hand to scratch his butt.

       “= =It’s you,” Song Jun said, remembering who he was.

       The giant panda spoke at this time, “Are you on a date?”

       Song Jun still couldn’t help but look both ways and after making sure there was no one else, he said, “Why are you here?”

       The giant panda said, “This is my job. It’s much easier than Ling Xiao and the others running a bar.”

       Song Jun looked at the bamboo all over the place and agreed that this was indeed an easy job.

       At this point, Song Jun asked, “Are Ling Xiao and the others okay?”

       The giant panda said, “They are good, but the official Weibo of Demon Market said that it will be disbanded, that there’s no organiser for the next quarter’s Demon Market”

       Song Jun didn’t want to say anything about Demon Market’s official Weibo but said, “Is no one willing to come forward to handle it?”

       Panda shook his head.

       At this time, Xia Hongshen also came over, looked at the pandas inside through the glass, and asked, “Do you know each other?”

       The giant panda seemed to feel the pressure from Xia Hongshen. It slowly lay down on the ground, took two steps to pick up its bamboo, kept a distance from Xia Hongshen, and sat down to continue chewing the bamboo.

       Song Jun said, “We met at the Demon Market, and he said that the organiser of the Demon Market has stopped hosting the next Demon Market.”

       Xia Hongshen was deep in thought.

       The giant panda was gnawing bamboo and winking at Song Jun. However, its eyes were surrounded by black circles, so it was not easy to see his eyes clearly.

       Song Jun then asked, “What’s the matter?”

       The giant panda put one paw to its mouth and said softly, “Is Demon Zhen really your lover?”

       In his heart, Song Jun complained that even if the panda spoke so quietly, Xia Hongshen could still hear.

       As expected, Xia Hongshen asked, “Can men also become lovers?”

       Hearing this, the giant panda said, “Why not? Women and women can do it too. Besides—” it suddenly stopped mid-sentence, slowly got up and stepped back a distance, and continued after it seemed to feel safe, “You are not a human being, and neither is Chunjun. Where do the men and women come from?”

       Xia Hongshen frowned slightly, pressed his hands on the glass wall, and said, “I am a male.” He was very sure of this.

       The giant panda said, “That’s true, but Chunjun is a sword. Are there male and female swords? Do you know he is a male?”

       Xia Hongshen looked towards Song Jun with doubt.

       Song Jun suddenly felt powerless. He patted the glass and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. I am a man, and I know it.”

       The giant panda continued, “What I want to express is that you are no longer human. Do you still care about men and women?”

       Song Jun mentally said that he never cared about that.

       However, Xia Hongshen asked, “Does that mean we can do everything men and women do?”

       The giant panda suddenly burped. It patted its chest and said, “I don’t care what you guys do.”

       Xia Hongshen said to it, “I can reopen the Demon Market.”

       The giant panda stopped eating bamboo. It grabbed a handful of bamboo, opened its mouth and stared blankly at Xia Hongshen.

       Xia Hongshen said, “Go tell all the demons that Demon Zhen will reopen the Demon Market on the first weekend of September, and the location will still be at the amusement park.”

       The giant panda swallowed the bamboo leaves in his mouth with difficulty and nodded blankly.

       Xia Hongshen turned to Song Jun and said, “Let’s go.”

       Song Jun quickly chased after Xia Hongshen and walked outside the panda exhibit. As he walked, he asked, “Why do you want to reopen the Demon Market?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “It’s nothing, I just plan to settle down here.”

       “Settling down?” Song Jun repeated.

       “You don’t like it?” Xia Hongshen asked him.

       Song Jun shook his head, “No, I like it very much.”

       Xia Hongshen then said, “Very good. Then let me ask you another question: are we lovers?”

       Song Jun smiled when he heard this, “If you say yes, then yes.”

Chapter 54 – To Start a Prairie Fire (3)

April 23, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       When Lin Dongliang and a group of people rushed to the main ship, Qin Yun’s emergency meeting had already been convened. The chaotic scene of unruly demons and monsters, which the newly appointed Prime Minister had been worried about, had not materialised. Tristana had changed into her combat uniform, and she was fine-tuning a small handgun.

       Chen Xiao waited a little impatiently, “Why are you so inked up to go to the frontline, don’t tell me you still need to put on make-up.”

       Tristana glared at him and pointed at her face, “I’m makeup-free! A natural beauty!”

       Chen Xiao had an expression of ‘whatever you say’. He saw Lin Dongliang and greeted, “Coming?”

       The Prime Minister’s face looked like “…”

       Tristana winked and said proudly, “Don’t underestimate our Queen.”

       Shen Zhuofan wasn’t surprised. He understood Qin Yun’s strengths, but he was still curious. He asked Chen Xiao, “What did His Highness say?”

       “He only said one thing.” Chen Xiao recalled, “He said, ‘I don’t care where you come from, your past status, merits, or political views. All you need to do is prove yourselves on the battlefield, prove your deep love for this land beneath your feet at this moment…'”

       “At this moment, your loyalty is not to the Empire.” Tristana followed up her sentinel’s words, her eyes bright and beautiful, “What you are loyal to is your own heart.”

       Arthur was silent for a while, then he laughed, “He is right. Not only did he avoid the embarrassing status of being a low-level guide, but he also boosted morale.”

       Lin Dongliang sighed, “It’s really… words full of power and wisdom. If it were me, it might not have such an effect.”

       “Politicians’ minds are just complicated.” Tristana wrinkled her nose, and she stood up with a graceful and valiant posture, “Heroes need no origin. If you’re a man, you should be willing to sacrifice on the battlefield, shed blood, and reclaim lost territory to defend our homeland.”

       Skarter whistled in agreement, making everyone laugh.

 

       Qin Yun was a little puzzled when he changed back into his field uniform and came out to hear laughter in the cabin; “You guys are here? What are you laughing about?”

       “Nothing.” Shen Zhuofan waved his hand and stopped laughing, “Has the strategic deployment been completed? What are you going to do?”

       Speaking of this, Qin Yun also became solemn, “Zhongyan used to be difficult to catch because others couldn’t see him, but now the situation is uncertain. Once the spiritual link is caught, the owner will also be affected. I have to rescue Xi Zhao as soon as possible, so I can’t delay.”

       Skarter understood, “Are you suggesting a full-frontal assault, forcing the enemy to engage us?”

       “Yes.” Qin Yun nodded and looked at Arthur, “The Duke and General Skarter led all the warships to attack the border. Chen Xiao, General Lane, and I were responsible for the raid to rescue Xi Zhao and Bixi.”

       Lin Dongliang pondered, “A three-man raid may not be enough. Shen Zhuofan and I will cooperate with you. Five targets can better confuse the opponent’s sight.”

       Qin Yun frowned. Just as he was about to refuse, Shen Zhuofan punched him in the shoulder.

       “We are brothers and comrades-in-arms.” He pointed at Qin Yun’s chest, “Give me your back. Don’t say no.”

       Qin Yun opened his mouth, but he found that he couldn’t say a word. He could only hold Shen Zhuofan’s palm tightly and bumped each other’s shoulders.

 

       The sun was rarely visible in the sky of Olympus, and it was almost always covered with clouds. It was difficult to tell the difference between morning and dusk. Moschery looked up for a while and summoned Zhongyan at the entrance to the laboratory.

       The giant dragon was wearing the Toothless rhinestone pendant that Qin Yun first pasted to its neck. Bixi couldn’t help but laugh when she saw it.

       “Do you like this very much?” Bixi touched the dragon’s muzzle as Zhongyan leaned over and said, “Little Rainbow Dash will make more beautiful ones. Let him make it for you when you go back.”

       Zhongyan turned around and stared at Moschery with bright eyes. He flapped his wings slightly, feeling a little excited.

       Moschery had a sullen face and said coldly, “You haven’t used up all the ones you had before, don’t even think about it.”

       The giant dragon looked like he was about to cry.

       Moschery showed no mercy, and the next second, Zhongyan was lying on the ground with his belly up, waving his four short legs wildly, and tears falling like rain.

       Moschery: “…”

       Bixi: “…who did he learn this naughty habit of sitting on the floor and acting up if the parents didn’t buy them something?”

       Of course, Moschery couldn’t say it was spoilt by Qin Yun. He went up and kicked the giant dragon’s butt a few times with a cold face. Zhongyan felt the pain and did not dare to act recklessly again.  He followed behind the Emperor, whimpering occasionally

 

       There was no one in the laboratory. Bixi saw Helu’s body in the centre at a glance. She took a few steps forward anxiously but suddenly froze in place.

       Behind her, Moschery saw his father’s chest being dug open.

       Zhongyan was flying in the air, and it couldn’t help but move forward, arching to Bixi’s shoulders in a comforting manner. Moschery took a deep breath, frowned, and called out in a worried tone, “Bixi…” As soon as he finished speaking, a fluorescent light suddenly flashed across the roof of the laboratory, and Moschery roared, “Be careful!” He ignored Zhongyan, rushed over, hugged Bixi, and rolled to the side.

       Zhongyan let out a scream-like dragon roar, and the huge dimensional cage imprisoned the giant dragon inside.

       Kyle’s figure appeared on the experimental table. A corner of his robe seemed to be stained with thick black mist, and his whole body was as pale as paper.

       “Welcome to Olympus.” He snapped his fingers softly and saw thousands of rays of lightning exploding in the dimension prison. Zhongyan’s giant wings were cut to pieces, and the giant dragon screamed and hit the cage pillars.

       Moschery covered his ‘Dragon Eye’ with one hand and slowly protected Bixi behind him with the other hand. Kyle raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect that the other party would still have the strength to stand up straight after such an attack on the spiritual link.

       Zhongyan was lying on the bottom of the cage, trying his best to wrap himself with his giant wings. Its dragon roar became weaker and weaker, and it stared at Moschery with wide eyes.

       “You are really a powerful sentinel, Your Majesty.” Kyle smiled slightly. He knew that Moschery could not attack him now, and Bixi was only an SSS guide and not someone to be feared.

       Kyle held a small section of the sealed tube in his hand and shook it gently, “I just opened it and checked the genes inside. The results are almost there. Do you want to take a look together?”

       “Why do you want the genes of a god-level Sentinel?” Bixi hugged Moschery tightly, who was about to collapse, and her whole body trembled with anger.

       Kyle glanced at her, “Aunt Bixi, you may not remember me, but I know you. After you escaped back to the Empire, the god-level experiments in Olympus were almost paralysed. It wasn’t until nearly two years ago that we found out why you destroyed the lab back then.”

       “An ordinary person with a god-level gene and an SSS guide can give birth to a god-level one. So what kind of monster will be born if I combine 80% of the god-level guide gene with 100% of the god-level Sentinel gene?” Kyle’s expression gradually became more and more manic, “Olympus will become the real land of gods, but it’s a pity…” He looked at Moschery with disdain, “You obviously have a god-level guide beside you, and yet you didn’t think of this method. The Empire’s genes are destined to return to mediocrity and never evolve again.”

       Bixi gritted her teeth and said, “You are simply crazy.”

       Kyle snorted softly and pointed his finger at the genetic tester on the side, with excitement in his eyes, “You should thank me for finding the last god-level Sentinel gene.”

 

       A massive holographic screen unfolded in mid-air, spiralling genes reassembling and restructuring. Kyle’s initially relaxed expression gradually tensed as he watched the three-dimensional humanoid figure becoming increasingly defined through countless iterations of intelligent scans.

       “How is it possible…” he murmured.

       Bixi stood under the light curtain, looking in disbelief at the face that looked exactly like hers in the hologram.

 

       “The Emperor of Issa will only be buried with his lover.” Moschery said suddenly. He looked at Helu on the operating table, “My father kept the love of his life secret in his heart and never spoke it out until he died.”

       The young emperor stood up, and the dragon in the dimension cage moved its wings gently. When Kyle noticed something strange, the whites of Bixi’s eyes had completely turned silver-gray, and Black Pearl stood beside her. The steed’s front hooves flicked up as it let out a neigh.

       “Don’t overestimate your capabilities!” Kyle said scornfully, “You are just an SSS guide, yet you actually want to control me?!”

       Bixi’s face was pale, and sweat flowed down her temples to her chin. She twitched the corners of her mouth and showed a weak smile, “Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If you don’t try it, how will you know?”

       Kyle’s pupils shrank suddenly, and Bixi’s mental power turned into silver arrows, sweeping over the sky and covering the earth.

       Moschery took the opportunity to throw the Dragon Scale with all his strength, and the tip of the sword dug hard into the dimensional prison.

       “Come out!” Moschery roared, “Zhongyan!”

       The dragon struggled to raise its scarred wings and smashed the cage pillars. The dragon’s roar penetrated the sky and the earth. Moschery pulled out the Dragon Scale and jumped on Zhongyan’s back. The dragon swooped down and pounced on Kyle…

Chapter 52 – Heavenly Realm

April 22, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       Cen Le was stripped of his immortal status and sent to the animal path for ten lifetimes, unable to live as a human being. Princess Mei Ling, on the other hand, was imprisoned in the heavenly realm, forcing her to devote herself to cultivation in a bitter and cold place and not be able to leave without permission for thousands of years.

       After all, she was the daughter of the Jade Emperor. Even though she committed a serious crime, she was still spared lightly.

       Jade Emperor announced that the sentence was over and the deities would take the two away.

       When Mei Ling left, he glanced at Xia Hongshen, who was standing next to the treasure hall and said nothing.

       Then Jade Emperor sent everyone away, leaving only Xia Hongshen, sighing, “Mei Ling is too high-spirited and harms others and herself.”

       Xia Hongshen listened expressionlessly and said nothing.

       Jade Emperor looked at him and said, “Demon Zhen, do you and I really have nothing to say?”

       Xia Hongshen then said calmly, “If you hadn’t stood by and watched, Mei Ling wouldn’t be where she is now.”

       Jade Emperor took a long sigh and said, “All things have their own rules. It’s not that I don’t care, but I can’t interfere. Although I understand everything happening in the world from my position, there are countless innocent lives harmed and deaths plotted for wealth. I can’t manage everything, so I end up not managing anything.”

       Xia Hongshen asked him, “If I hadn’t split the barrier, wouldn’t your entire city have been destroyed?”

       Jade Emperor said, “So what? Everything in the world has its own destiny, and I have interfered too much.”

       Xia Hongshen listened quietly and stopped arguing with him.

       Jade Emperor said, “Now that you’ve returned, there’s no need to go back to the next life. Stay here.”

       Xia Hongshen responded, “The Thousand Years Lamp has not yet been found.”

       Jade Emperor sighed, “No need to seek further. This matter can’t be entirely blamed on you. Back then, it was just a consideration for Mei Ling. Now, you’ve played a part in demon eradication, so I pardon Chunjun and Yueya’s transgressions. I won’t pursue it any further.”

       However, Xia Hongshen still said, “I will not come back until the Thousand Years Lamp is found.”

       “You!” Jade Emperor seemed to be resentful, “Do as you like. If you don’t want to come back, keep looking. If you can’t find it, don’t ever come back!”

       Xia Hongshen bowed and left in front of the Jade Emperor’s palace.

       At this time, Longshao and Yueya accompanied Fengliu to treat his injuries while Chunjun returned to their former residence in the heavenly realm alone.

       It was a small courtyard with a single door. Everyone had their own room. There was a garden in the courtyard. Demon Zhen loved sleeping on the grass those days.

       Song Jun stretched out his hand and pushed open his own room. This place had remained the same for thousands of years. Even if they left, there would be no changes. No one had ever visited, and not a speck of dust disturbed the stillness.

       The years in the heavenly realm had stood still, and the only thing that was changing was himself.

       Song Jun sat by the bed for a moment and then came to the yard, where he smashed the Thousand Years Lamp with his own hands. Everyone thought that Yueya had instigated him, but that was not the case. Instead, he inadvertently encouraged Yueya with his words, and then he smashed the thing. Regardless of whether he would be punished for this, the marriage between Demon Zhen and Mei Ling would undoubtedly be hindered.

       In fact, he was the one who opposed this marriage the most and hated Mei Ling the most. He was born vicious, and years of hard work had made him numb, but it did not make him kind. He was the most ruthless one around Demon Zhen.

       He just didn’t expect that Song Jun, who had lost his soul, would bring such a big change to him.

       Song Jun lay down on the grass, the pen filled with the fragrance of the greenery. He wanted to know what Demon Zhen felt when lying here. No one loved Demon Zhen more than he did. If one had to separate the feelings of Song Jun and Chunjun within his soul, Song Jun’s feelings for Xia Hongshen were far less than Chunjun’s feelings for Demon Zhen.

       But now, all the feelings were accumulated together.

       Song Jun thought that he might go crazy for him.

       Xia Hongshen opened the door of the small courtyard. His residence may be the simplest residence in the world. In fact, given his choice, he would rather live in a wide jungle or forest than be trapped in this small world.

       Then he saw Song Jun lying on the grass, so he walked over and lay on Song Jun’s body.

       Song Jun looked at him and asked, “Do you want to stay?”

       Xia Hongshen asked, “Do you want me to stay?”

       “Not really,” Song Jun said.

       Xia Hongshen reached out and lifted up a strand of Song Jun’s hair.

       Song Jun said to him, “My memory and incomplete soul were detained by Cen Le in the Soul Suppressing Pagoda when I entered the reincarnation of the human world.”

       “Well,” Xia Hongshen said, “Now you have it back.”

       “What if I never remember?” Song Jun asked Xia Hongshen curiously.

       Xia Hongshen replied, “I will get it back for you.”

       Song Jun did not continue to ask. He actually wanted to ask Xia Hongshen what difference it made to him whether he had past memories or not, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was a meaningless question, so he stopped asking.

       Xia Hongshen kept playing with a strand of Song Jun’s hair, and after a while, he said, “Let’s go back.”

       Song Jun looked at him in surprise.

       Xia Hongshen said, “We have to go back and continue to look for Thousand Years Lamp.”

       “Thousand Years Lamp?”

       Song Jun knew that Xia Hongshen had already found the lamp and wick of the Thousand Years Lamp. Thinking that all that was missing was the lamp holder of the Thousand Years Lamp.

       “Where is the lamp holder?” Song Jun asked.

       Xia Hongshen said, “I don’t know.”

       Song Jun sat on the grass and looked at Xia Hongshen lying on his lap. He hesitated for a long time and said, “It’s not because Yueya encouraged me to smash the Thousand Years Lamp, but it was because I didn’t want you to marry Princess Mei Ling.”

       Unexpectedly, Xia Hongshen said to him calmly, “I know.”

       Song Jun was startled.

       Xia Hongshen also sat up and said, “I know everything about you.”

       Song Jun said, “I thought you would be angry.”

       Xia Hongshen said, “If you smash it, just smash it. There is nothing to be angry about.”

       Song Jun was silent for a long time.

       The two of them were sitting facing each other, and Song Jun suddenly said, “Do you know what kissing means?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “I know.”

       “No,” Song Jun denied it for him, “You don’t.”

       Song Jun looked at Xia Hongshen’s lips and slowly leaned forward to kiss his lips. Xia Hongshen remained motionless, obviously not intending to evade. He also looked at Song Jun’s lips and felt that they were very soft; maybe he could take a bite.

       “Song Jun!” At this time, Yueya shouted and came in their direction.

       Song Jun immediately stopped his original movements and turned his head to avoid it. If it were him in the past, he would not care about the opinions of others, but now he was always affected by Song Jun’s shy character and couldn’t help but blush.

       Xia Hongshen was a little unhappy because he was about to bite Song Jun’s lip.

       Yueya didn’t notice the subtle atmosphere between them, so she ran over and threw herself behind Xia Hongshen, hugged Xia Hongshen’s neck and said, “Fengliu is fine, let’s go back.” She also wanted to go back to the human world, and she thought it was a matter of course.

       Xia Hongshen grabbed her arm and asked her to let go of her, stood up and said, “Let’s go.”

       The infectious disease that had been raging for many days had finally been brought under control. Rescue experts had developed new drugs to specifically target the spread of the virus. While controlling the transmission route, people who were sick in the past also began to slowly recover.

       The once desolate streets gradually regained vitality.

       The appraisal centre that was temporarily closed has also reopened for business.

       Song Jun didn’t have much time to rest. When he came back, he received a call from his teacher, asking him to go to work at the appraisal centre the next day.

       Walking on the path of the school, Song Jun saw people starting to play basketball on the basketball court. When the summer vacation ended in another month, he believed the campus would be lively again.

       He stood outside the basketball court and watched the people inside playing through the barbed wire fence. Suddenly, he noticed a child sitting on the basketball stand. When the child saw Song Jun, he waved to him.

       Song Jun still remembered him. He was the soul of the child that Song Jun met in the Soul-Suppressing Tower at that time.

       The next second, the child appeared in front of Song Jun, looking at him with a smile.

       Song Jun knelt down and asked him, “Why are you here?”

       The child said, “I’m looking for you.”

       “Looking for me?” Song Jun said, “Do you want to be reincarnated?”

       The child tilted his head and thought for a moment, “It’s better not to. My dad always beats my mom, and my mom would cry at home. When she’s done crying, she goes crazy and beats me. One time, she smothered me to death with a pillow.”

       Song Jun looked at him and felt a little uncomfortable, “Not all parents are like this. Maybe you will meet a pair of very good parents who love you and buy you beautiful clothes and take you to the amusement park to play.”

       The child has a look of yearning on his face.

       Song Jun said to him, “Come with me.”

       The kid finally nodded.

       Song Jun took him to find Yun Po. Yun Po hadn’t left the city yet, and they were still trying to check every corner to see if there was any remaining demonic energy.

       Hearing that Song Jun had arranged work for him again, Yun Po was a little irritable. “Have you and your family ever stopped? Do I owe you something?”

       Song Jun quickly advised him, “Monks, don’t be so impatient.”

       Yun Po said, “Get lost.”

       Song Jun then whispered, “How can a monk swear.”

       Yun Po stared at him for a long time and said, “You have been following Xia Hongshen for a long time, and you have become bad.”

       Song Jun just smiled when he heard this. He knew that Yun Po was hard-spoken and soft-hearted, so he said to the kid next to him, “Just follow Master Yun Po and let him send you to reincarnation.”

       After listening to Song Jun’s words, the child actually walked up to Yun Po and grabbed the hem of his robe.

       Yun Po’s forehead twitched.

       Song Jun said sincerely, “Master Yun Po, this child’s fate is lonely and difficult. I appreciate your help.”

       Yun Po did not refuse after all. He just waved to Song Jun and said, “Goodbye, no need to see you off.”

       In the evening, Song Jun went back to the dormitory and found Xia Hongshen in the room. He hesitated in front of the door and knocked on the door.

       As a result, Xia Hongshen said, “Come in.”

       Song Jun reached out to push the door open and found that the door was not locked at all.

       Xia Hongshen was sitting at the table, holding something in his hand that was emitting a faint light.

       Song Jun was stunned when he saw it, “Thousand Years Lamp?!” he said.

       What Xia Hongshen was holding was the complete Thousand Years Lamp, with all the lamps, wicks and holders. He cast a small seal to completely cover up the spiritual power of the Thousand Years Lamp.

       “You have found the light holder a long time ago?” Song Jun asked in surprise.

       Xia Hongshen looked calm, “The lamp holder of Thousand Years Lamp has always been in my hand.” He had found the complete Thousand Years Lamp. He just didn’t want to go back to the heavenly realm until the day he wanted to go back.

Chapter 20

April 21, 2024 / / 1 Comment

       At night, Zhan Weiyang once again slept peacefully in Pei Qing’s room. He didn’t know why he liked Pei Qing so much, but he felt comfortable, happy and safe staying with him.

       Pei Qing actually didn’t spend too much time with Zhan Weiyang. When Zhan Weiyang was lying next to Pei Qing, Pei Qing would turn on the desk lamp and read a professional book. The room was very quiet, and the sound of Pei Qing flipping through the book could be heard from time to time.

       Zhan Weiyang’s cell phone made a message notification sound at this time, which was a bit abrupt in the quiet environment. He was afraid of disturbing Pei Qing’s reading, so he quickly turned off the sound on his cell phone.

       The message on the phone was from Chen Youyou. He texted Zhan Weiyang: “I went to see Yu ge tonight. He said he could help us deal with Xie Ling. When do you think would be a suitable time?”

       Zhan Weiyang glanced at Pei Qing. Although Pei Qing didn’t pay attention to him, he still pulled up the quilt and covered himself under it, and then sent a message back to Chen Youyou: “Great! How much does it cost?”

       Chen Youyou quickly replied to him: “Yu ge said that he and I are brothers, so no money is needed. Just buy a cigarette for his brothers.”

       Zhan Weiyang was lying on the bed, with only the fluorescent light from the mobile phone screen shining on his face under the quilt, with a happy smile: “Yu ge is nice!”

       Chen Youyou replied: “He’s okay.”

       Zhan Weiyang typed: “How about after school at noon on Saturday?”

       Chen Youyou said: “Should be fine. I’ll give Yu ge a call tomorrow, and whatever time works for his brother is good for us.”

       Zhan Weiyang: “Then I’ll buy cigarettes first? What cigarettes should I buy?”

       Chen Youyou: “Don’t worry, we’ll talk about it after the matter is over.”

       Zhan Weiyang was about to type the word ‘Okay’ when someone suddenly lifted the quilt from his head.

       Pei Qing looked at him and asked, “What are you doing?”

       Zhan Weiyang quickly turned off the phone screen and turned over to face Pei Qing, “I’m afraid of disturbing you.”

       Pei Qing said, “No, I’m going to sleep.” After saying that, he put the book on the bedside table and reached out to turn off the lamp.

       The room suddenly fell into darkness, and Zhan Weiyang couldn’t see anything. He only heard rustling sounds around him and felt the bed shaking slightly.

       After a while, it became quiet.

       Zhan Weiyang listened quietly in the darkness. He didn’t hear Pei Qing’s breathing for a long time, so he couldn’t help but move closer to him until he heard the shallow breathing and felt a slight warmth in his ear.

       Suddenly a hand was on his face, covering his mouth and nose. He heard Pei Qing say, “What are you doing?”

       Only then did Zhan Weiyang realise that he was too close. If he got any closer, he would touch Pei Qing’s face. He mumbled with his covered mouth, “Let me listen to your breathing.”

       Pei Qing still covered his mouth and said, “Why are you listening to my breathing?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “When I was little, my dad would secretly listen to my breathing, and I would secretly listen to his.” After saying that, Zhan Weiyang felt like he couldn’t breathe, so he turned away and pressed his cheek against Pei Qing’s palm.

       His skin was soft and delicate, slightly cool, like cold white jade, sliding on Pei Qing’s palm.

       Pei Qing should have taken his hand back, but his fingers caressed Zhan Weiyang’s cheek, slid to his ear, rubbed his earlobe, and asked, “Were you sick as a child?”

       Zhan Weiyang shuddered, and his ears and cheeks felt slightly warm. He said in an unclear voice, “Maybe? I can’t remember clearly.”

       He really liked the feeling of Pei Qing touching his face, but Pei Qing moved his hand away, and he reluctantly looked for Pei Qing’s hand in the darkness.

       Pei Qing asked, “Did your father take you to see a doctor?”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly shrank back, “I don’t want to go to the doctor.”

       Pei Qing said in a gentle tone, “I won’t take you to see a doctor, don’t be afraid.”

       Zhan Weiyang lay down on his pillow and said, “Let’s go to sleep.”

       Pei Qing responded, “Okay, good night.”

       Zhan Weiyang closed his eyes, and after five seconds, he heard that ethereal voice say to him, “The relationship status has been negatively increased, and 2 points have been deducted. The user’s score today: 40 points.”

       He immediately opened his eyes, sighed silently, pulled up the quilt and covered his face before continuing to sleep.

       When he went to school the next day, Chen Youyou seemed a little excited.

       It was not convenient to talk in the classroom. After lunch, the two of them squatted in the corner of the school playground and discussed how to stop Xie Ling at noon on Saturday.

       They already knew that Xie Ling would ride his bicycle home after class at noon on Saturday. Chen Youyou opened the map on his mobile phone to see the places he would pass on his way home and plan an ambush location.

       Chen Youyou enlarged the map and fiddled with his phone on the ground. He pointed to a small alley on the map with one hand, pulled up the weeds on the ground with one hand, and said, “T-there are fewer people here.”

       Zhan Weiyang glanced at the map, then saw him pulling out weeds and throwing them on the ground, and said, “Don’t pull out the weeds.”

       Chen Youyou was confused, “Why?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “The grass will die.”

       Chen Youyou said, “So what?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t want to argue with Chen Youyou, so he silently picked up a small stone, dug a hole in the ground, and planted the grass that Chen Youyou had pulled back.

       Chen Youyou ignored him and continued, “There is, just one, problem!”

       Zhan Weiyang focused on digging the hole and asked nonchalantly, “What?”

       Chen Youyou raised his head and looked into the distance in distress. There was a basketball court. After lunch, Xie Ling was playing basketball with a few boys. He looked at it for a while and said, “We, can only, follow Xie Ling, after class is over. There is, no guarantee that, we will be able, to catch up with him. We cannot, rush out suddenly, after him. Moreover, what should we do, if the teacher delays, the last class?” He said such a long string of words in one breath, almost suffocating himself to death.

       Zhan Weiyang raised his head and said, “What?”

       Chen Youyou suddenly became angry, stretched out his hand to strangle Zhan Weiyang’s neck and shook him from side to side, “Go to hell!”

       The small stone fell out of Zhan Weiyang’s hand. He raised his hand to grab Chen Youyou’s hand, trying to save himself, and said in panic, “I’m going to die.”

       Chen Youyou let go of his neck, picked up his mobile phone from the ground, stood up, patted the grass clippings on the phone case, and said to Zhan Weiyang, “It’s, already, Friday today. You go, figure out how, to delay Xie Ling’s, time after school tomorrow, and then we, can take action!” He originally wanted to add a cool “Over!” before he finished speaking, but felt that he would just stutter, so he left directly.

       Zhan Weiyang hurriedly buried the last bit of soil, stood up, patted the mud on his hands, and followed Chen Youyou towards the outside of the playground.

       The two of them passed the empty court next to the field where Xie Ling and the others were playing basketball.

       When Zhan Weiyang passed by, Xie Ling’s basketball just rolled over from the ground to his feet.

       A freshman in high school didn’t know Zhan Weiyang, so he shouted to him, “Handsome guy, throw the ball over.”

       Zhan Weiyang picked up the basketball and walked towards them. When he saw the student coming over and reaching out to catch the ball, he had a sudden impulse and swatted the ball forward, passed the person with the ball and made a beautiful shot.

       The ball went in.

       Zhan Weiyang was so happy that he almost jumped up, thinking that he could also play basketball with Pei Qing without Zhan Weiguang.

       When he turned around and saw several people on the field looking at him, including Xie Ling. He suddenly became nervous and said hurriedly, “I’m sorry.” Then he ran away after Chen Youyou.

Notes:
Gotta be honest, Youyou’s stutter makes it kinda hard for me to tl this fast 😂

Chapter 28 – Undercurrent

April 21, 2024 / / 2 Comments

       To Fang Mingyan’s surprise, Zhuo Yue’s camera phobia had improved greatly since the last time. He no longer paid constant attention to the direction of the camera but focused on completing his orders. At the same time, he also noticed that Zhuo Yue no longer stayed with him during his free time. That day when he went upstairs, he found the cage door slightly ajar. Gently pushing it open a crack, he saw the figure in the centre of the room.

       He didn’t know when Zhuo Yue entered or how long he sat there. At that moment, he curled up into a ball, sat on the carpet with his knees in his arms, and whispered repeatedly, “Don’t be afraid. There is nothing to be afraid of. I will get better… Just hold on and everything will be fine…”

       He was actually doing special training for himself.

       Fang Mingyan smiled helplessly and did not go in to interrupt. Instead, he stood outside the door and left quietly before Zhuo Yue came out.

       It went on for several days in a row. Whenever Zhuo Yue entered the cage, the man would accompany him silently outside.

       Before anyone knew it, a month had passed. Zhuo Yue showed improvement in his music lessons. He learned to read music and his pitch was much better than before. The person responsible for teaching him music was Zhang Yi, thirty years old, with a decisive and efficient style. After becoming famous in the music industry, she met her current lover. They fell in love and quit the music industry without hesitation to get married and start a life of two. She grew up with Fang Mingyan, sharing a deep understanding and often reminiscing about their childhood adventures with Zhuo Yue in their leisure time.

       “Why is Mr Mingyan afraid of cats?” Zhuo Yue asked.

       “I know about this.” She smiled, “He must have been seven or eight years old at that time. Uncle Fang went to shoot a movie, and he followed him. One spring, he went to the north, and there was a female cat around in the wild fields nearby. He often fed it as it wandered around. The cat became close with him as time goes by, and once took him to its nest, where there were two newborn kittens. That day, the old cat was killed while filming an explosion scene. He was so sad that he went to the litter and took the two kittens back to raise them. The kittens were not even fully furred, and the conditions on the film set were so poor that he couldn’t raise them, and they both died. After that, he never went near the cats again, thinking that she wouldn’t have died if he hadn’t lured the mother cat to the film set by feeding her.”

       “It’s not because of fear, but because of sadness.” Zhuo Yue imagined Fang Mingyan’s guilt and self-blame when he was seven or eight years old, and gently curved the corners of his lips, “Sir has been very gentle since he was a child.”

       “Pfft.” Zhang Yi laughed out loud, “He is very ruthless with other people. Look at the celebrities in Huasheng. They are all showing off their power, but when they see him, they are as quiet as a mouse when it sees a cat. His parents were too dazzling, which put a lot of pressure on him. He left home early when he was a teenager and worked alone in this circle. He stumbled and was subjected to numerous calculations and betrayals. At that time, it seemed like he was surrounded by many friends and allies, but in reality, he found it difficult to accept and trust others. I fear that even a sincere friend could only be counted with two hands. If he is gentle with you, it means that you are important to him.”

       Zhuo Yue pursed his lips, lowered his head, and said, “Many people… think that Sir is very gentle.”

       “You mean those Sub bed partners he has?” Seeing the other party looking at him in surprise, Zhang Yi said with a smile, “I am his childhood friend after all, so of course I know his hobbies. I have also seen a few of his subs. His attitude towards them is not so much gentleness, but rather the demeanor that a dom should have. As for you…” She paused, a hint of slyness flashing in her eyes, “After you live here, has he ever called other Subs?”

       Zhuo Yue was stunned, and his face instantly turned red.

       “Gentleness is rare, enjoy it.” Zhang Yi patted his shoulder meaningfully, “Come on, learn to sing this song to him.”

       Zhuo Yue took the score and after seeing the title clearly, he was so embarrassed that he couldn’t even utter a word.

       It was the most popular recent new song— ‘I Would Like to Give You Everything I Have to Repay Your Tenderness’.

 

       At the end of the class, Zhuo Yue accompanied the teacher away and looked up at the wall clock.

       It was forty minutes past ten.

       Fang Mingyan hadn’t come back yet; obviously, he had some social engagement. The room seemed empty. Zhuo Yue read for a while and did some cleaning. He sat on the sofa and watched an extremely boring football match on TV. Both sides were overly defensive. After halftime, the score was still the same. When the hour hand passed twelve o’clock, he went upstairs, had his bath, and then lay down on the rug beside his bed.

       He couldn’t sleep for a long time. After tossing and turning many times, he climbed onto the big bed and lay down. There seemed to be the man’s breath lingering on it, which made him feel at ease in the dark night, and he fell asleep in a short while. He slept lightly and woke up when there was a slight noise in the room. However, before he could get up, he felt the bed move and a tall body covered the top.

       In the darkness, Fang Mingyan was like a lion trapping his prey under his body. There was an unpredictable depth in his bright eyes.

       “Master.” Zhuo Yue called softly.

       “Climbing into bed while the master is away.” The man narrowed his eyes slightly, “Who taught you this?”

       “Master, I… um─” Before he could admit his mistake, Zhuo Yue felt his feet and ankles being grabbed and then forcefully pulled away. The strong body pressed down, and the strong smell of alcohol came towards him. Fang Mingyan’s slightly hoarse voice was tinged with undercurrents of lust, “Slave, you are seducing me.”

       The warm and drunken breath blew in Zhuo Yue’s ears, causing a slight shiver to appear all over his body. He tilted his head impatiently, and the hand that lightly reached under his body gave a punishing pinch to his sac, causing him to gasp. Then the man rolled his earlobe into his mouth with his wet and hot tongue, ground it gently with the tips of his teeth, and then slowly licked his earlobe in a playful manner. Zhuo Yue, who was already sensitive, completely lost control under such stimulation, and his breathing easily lost its rhythm.

       A slightly rough kiss went down the side of his neck, stopping at the bulge on his chest, sucking, licking and biting, teasing him in every possible way. The painful and numb feeling spread throughout his body like an electric shock. Zhuo Yue could no longer bear it and trembled and moaned, “Ah─ Master…”

       This moan contained the shyness of a virgin, but it was also tainted with lust. It was like a catalyst, filling the whole room with an ambiguous and lustful atmosphere.

       “Have you taken a shower? You smell good.” Fang Mingyan sniffed Zhuo Yue’s skin like a giant cat, greedily ingesting the faint aroma of the shower gel on his skin, slowly going down his chest, licking the flat belly of the person under him.

       “I-I did…” This short answer made Zhuo Yue use up all his strength, and the aroused passion was fully awakened. He tensed his body, and his hands tightly grasped the clothes under him as if looking for support from the sheet underneath him.

       The man spread his knees further, completely exposing the most private area between his legs, and then gave the order, “Keep this position, don’t move.”

       When the lights gradually brightened, Zhuo Yue trembled with shame. At this moment, he spread his legs wide, like a shameless sex slave, waiting for the other man to violate him.

       However, the other party did not make a move for a long time. He just held his bent knees and looked at the scenery between his legs with interest. That gaze seemed to carry a scorching temperature, burning every inch of skin it touched. In this posture, the changes in the body cannot be hidden at all. The sleeping genitals between the legs wake up little by little, facing the viewer with a high-spirited attitude.

       A low laugh lingered in his ears, and Fang Mingyan’s curved eyebrows were full of ambiguity, “Just looking at it makes you so excited. If so…” Without finishing the second half of the sentence, he leaned closer and moved toward the erect c0ck and blew lightly.

       The hot breath blew on the sensitive area, teasing Zhuo Yue’s already uncontrollable desire. The genitals showed a more stretched posture, and its owner gasped and made a pleading voice, “Master, hng… please…”

       “What are you asking me to do?” The man didn’t touch the poor little thing with his hands but kept blowing on it.

       “Please…please, it feels so uncomfortable…” Zhuo Yue was lifted up into the air by the wave of desire and stuck, unable to release or escape. His mind was muddled as if it had been stirred up. His eyes were already watery and wet, adding a bit of sultry aura. He didn’t dare to move, so he kept asking his master for help.

       “Slave, you should beg me to satisfy you.” Fang Mingyan continued to tease the sensitive little brother in a playful manner.

       Zhuo Yue had almost lost the ability to think, and the remaining shame was covered up by desire. He repeated with a crying voice, “Please, please satisfy me…”

       “You’re very good, I’ll give you a reward.” The man held down his thigh, lowered his head, and slowly licked the top of the high-spirited c0ck. The hot and moist friction of his tongue with a slightly rough texture caused the top of the c0ck to ooze out transparent liquid instantly. Zhuo Yue, who was about to lose control, gasped and begged for mercy, “Master… Don’t, ugh, I can’t bear it…” He curled up his toes, his naked body became reddish, and his chest heaved violently.

       However, it was not over yet. When Fang Mingyan opened his mouth to hold the tip of his c0ck, Zhuo Yue, who could no longer bear the stimulation, raised his neck, arched his body like a fish on the verge of suffocation, and ejaculated tremblingly. The sound of crying echoed in the room, full of obscene meaning.

       When Zhuo Yue gradually sobered up from his climax and realised what had just happened, he was ashamed and frightened and said stiffly, “I was wrong, Master, I didn’t mean it… I couldn’t control it just now…”

       He surrendered too quickly just now. Before the man could completely avoid it, a lot of white liquid was splashed on one side of his face. He wiped it off with his fingers, then hung his semen-stained fingers above Zhuo Yue’s mouth and gave a brief command, “Lick it clean.”

       Zhuo Yue blushed and timidly stuck out his tongue, half-closed his eyes, and raised his head to lick the man’s fingers. The hand hovering above slowly went up, and he had to slowly support his body. At this moment, he was like a hungry little animal, following the food and being lured to an unknown place.

       After he sat up completely, Fang Mingyan inserted his index finger into his mouth and played with his innocent lips. However, the finger deep into the base of the tongue soon caused Zhuo Yue to react violently and continuously retching.

       “I’m sorry…Master.” After he calmed down, he apologised in frustration.

       The man knew very well that he had this reaction because he had been forced to give oral sex to others before, so he took out his fingers, raised his eyebrows and said, “If the upper part doesn’t work, I have to use the lower part.”

       Zhuo Yue was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he was pushed down again and then turned over into a sprawling position. The cold lubricating fluid dripped from high places and flowed down along the seam of the buttocks, soaking the tight areas and soaking them. He lay tightly on the bed and called out uneasily, “Master…?”

       “It’s your turn to satisfy me, slave.” The man’s slender fingers penetrated between the legs, spreading the butt crack, completely exposing the hidden hole. The lubricating fluid warmed by the body slowly flowed through the pale rose-coloured tender meat at the entrance of the tight hole. Every subtle feeling was amplified, and the itchy and greasy feeling made Zhuo Yue unable to help but tremble all over. There was a sound of fabric scraping behind him, and then some clothes were thrown under the bed. One hand held his lower back, and the other hand reached down between his legs, gently and sometimes heavily kneading the sac that was soaked in lubricant. The pain and pleasure were intertwined, causing the genitals that had just ejaculated to stand up again.

       Fang Mingyan pulled a pillow and put it under his waist and abdomen. As if it was not enough, he put another pillow down, forcing him to raise his hips. Then, the strong body pressed down, and the lower bodies fit together more closely. The thick and hot hard object rubbed back and forth slowly in the slit moistened with lubricant. It touched the hole several times and then slowly moved away—each time it made Zhuo Yue tremble.

       Although he had not experienced it in reality, he vaguely knew what would happen next. The obscene gold chain man had done something similar to him before. During that indecent assault, the other party used his fingers and a vibrator to forcefully open his back hole, which made him extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, in the end, his lower body was not seriously injured. Later, he went to check some relevant information and understood the way men have sex. Because the back point was not a natural place for sexual intercourse, it couldn’t loosen and secrete body fluids on its own, so it must be lubricated and expanded, otherwise, the recipient would be easily injured.

       However, at this moment, the man had no intention of expanding for him. Zhuo Yue could roughly feel how big he was just by touch. If he forced his way in with such a size… He felt scared, but he didn’t make any resistance. He just tensed his body, bit his lower lip and lay silently, letting the other party control everything. When the scorching huge thing pressed against the hole again and tried to invade with a little force, he trembled and clutched the sheets tightly and closed his eyes.

       The expected tearing pain did not come. The man above him stopped moving, put his palms on his trembling body, and said, “Why don’t you reject me if you are afraid of this?”

       Zhuo Yue’s eyes were a little wet, “I have no right to refuse you…”

       “You have been very obedient today. Aren’t you afraid that I might hurt you if I drink too much?”

       He remained silent for a while and then said softly, “You said you wouldn’t let me get hurt.”

       The determination in that tone made Fang Mingyan pause slightly, with a faint smile in his eyes. He patted Zhuo Yue’s side buttocks and ordered, “Lift your buttocks and tighten your legs.”

       Zhuo Yue complied without knowing why. Immediately afterwards, the slightly ferocious c0ck was inserted from behind along the base of his thigh, thrusting back and forth into the perineum area between his legs, mimicking intercourse. Every invasion would rub against Zhuo Yue’s sac, stirring the slippery liquid and making an ambiguous sound that made people blush.

       This intercourse position simulated real sexual intercourse without actually entering the back hole. Zhuo Yue was trembling from the powerful impact of the man again and again. There was a wet patch between his legs, and the front end of his c0ck was constantly rubbing against the pillow, arousing pleasure.

       He couldn’t see himself, nor could he see Fang Mingyan behind him, but he could completely imagine the current situation.

       He raised his buttocks high and allowed the other man to continue to invade his legs. But he shamefully got pleasure from such a violation and kept craving for more. This kind of imagination made the stimulation more fierce, and he called out tremblingly, “Master… Uhn…”

       The man behind him lifted up his waist and forced him into a kneeling position. His deep voice was husky with lust, “Clamp your legs.” Before he could kneel down firmly, he thrust his c0ck roughly into the between legs again, at the same time, the emptied c0ck in front of Zhuo Yue was also held in Fang Mingyan’s hand and started to move with the frequency of thrusting.

       The excessive stimulation almost caused Zhuo Yue to collapse, and the short moans, one after another, were like aphrodisiacs, intensifying the man’s movements.

       “Master…ahhh──” He wanted to cum but was restrained by the sudden tightening of the man’s palms, causing him to arch his back unbearably.

       “This is your punishment for ejaculating without permission just now.” Fang Mingyan held the base of his c0ck and breathed slightly, “I’m going to train your tolerance today.”

       “Please… no, I can’t bear it anymore…” Before he could finish his words, he received a slap on his ass. The sudden pain soon merged with the wave of desire, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other. Zhuo Yue’s eyes were full of mist, and he couldn’t help but gasp, “Master, I was wrong… Ah, please forgive me…”

       “Hold it yourself.” The man said solemnly, “If you cum before I give you permission, I will tie you up, fill you with toys and throw you into the cage.”

       Hearing this command, Zhuo Yue almost cried. He did not dare to disobey his master, so he could only hold the base of his erect c0ck tightly and endure the climax that was about to come.

       When Fang Mingyan gave him permission, he cried and ejaculated, then fell limply on the bed. All the man’s semen ejaculated between Zhuo Yue’s buttocks. His lower body was dripping with liquids and he didn’t even have the strength to stand up. Fang Mingyan held him in his arms and helped him took a bath. He fell asleep halfway through. When he woke up the next day, he found himself on the bed in the guest room, with the man’s peaceful sleeping face next to him.

Chapter 53 – To Start a Prairie Fire (2)

April 19, 2024 / / 3 Comments

       “It’s genetic evolution.” Chris couldn’t help but be excited as he looked at what was recorded in Chen Xiao’s video. He wore dimensional glasses and could clearly see Moschery’s spiritual link, “Early on, the fusion rate of His Majesty’s genes with the genes of the first-generation god-level Sentinel was less than 90%. As a result, there was never enough capability to fully present His Majesty’s spiritual link in the dimensional space. If the sentinels and guide were not on the same level, they couldn’t see His Majesty’s dragon.”

       Tristana suddenly realised, “So what’s happening now is that His Majesty’s genes have evolved?”

       Chris nodded, “I think so. He has become stronger and more adapted to the god-level sentinel’s genes… To be precise, he is almost the same as the original god-level sentinel.”

       Qin Yun did not speak. He stared at the picture in the video with a calm expression. Chen Xiao glanced at him, “Now that we have lost contact with His Majesty, what should we do next?”

       “How is Olympus’ defence?” Qin Yun asked.

       Tristana said, “There are three times more troops than before, but they have no intention of taking the initiative to attack. I don’t know why.”

       Qin Yun squinted his eyes. He was quiet for a while and suddenly said, “They haven’t caught Xi Zhao yet, so they don’t dare to act rashly.”

       Chen Xiao and Tristana’s faces showed joy. Sentinel and guide, who had marked each other, had a close spiritual connection. No one would doubt what Qin Yun said.

       “Notify Arthur and Lin Dongliang to arrive as soon as possible.” Qin Yun straightened up and carefully closed the communication device, with a cold and sharp expression on his face, “Assemble all the ships in five minutes. I have something to say.”

 

       While Breaux was leading the search for the Emperor, Kyle was still in the laboratory trying to open the sealed tube in Helu’s body. He spent almost a month just doing this, and his expression was far from pleasant.

       “Not captured yet?” Kyle rubbed his eyebrows. He looked extremely tired, “If this sealed tube cannot be opened again, the only way to obtain the god-level sentinel gene is from the Emperor.”

       Breaux didn’t take it seriously, “There’s no way he can escape, it’s possible that he’ll die directly from such intense artillery fire. The Empire is now leaderless, so there is no need to worry at all.”

       Kyle was silent for a long time, then suddenly said, “Do you still remember the guide who married the Emperor?”

       “That ordinary person?” Breaux frowned, “He’s not even a low-level guide. He’s just a trash.”

       Kyle glanced at the other person, and he hesitated, “He looks very similar to me, and…my mental power is of no use to him.”

       “…” Breaux didn’t believe it, “How is that possible?!”

       “It’s true.” Kyle’s expression was unpleasant, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, “I can’t control him. My mental power doesn’t work at all… Who is he?!”

 

       Bixi turned to look at Moschery. They had just crawled out of the almost completely scrapped aircraft half an hour ago. His Majesty the Emperor still had metal fragments stuck in half of his arms. He pulled them out to stop the bleeding and disinfected the wound. He then administered himself a tetanus shot with an expressionlessly.

       “…” Bixi was well protected by him, unscathed, and all the medical supplies in her backpack were given to Moschery.

       “We have to find another aircraft.” Moschery shook his arm. The higher the level, the stronger the Sentinel’s recovery ability. He pulled out Dragon Scales on his back, “Let’s determine Helu’s position first.”

       Bixi sighed, “I was too willful, and I dragged you down.”

       Moschery lowered his head and looked at Bixi with a gentle look in his eyes, “Little Bixi.” He said, “You are also my mother. I am very grateful for your kindness to Helu… my father.”

       Bixi blinked. She was a little surprised. Gradually, a lonely smile appeared on her face, “My relationship with His Majesty Helu is not what you think. We…haven’t even had a proper conversation about anything.”

       Moschery looked at her.

       Bixi squatted on the ground, lowering her head as if she were lost in memories, “I had not graduated when he first ascended the throne, and Averio Academy arranged for me to intern in the royal family. We rarely spoke, and we had no time to be alone together. We seldom spoke, and there was no time for us to be alone together. Most of the conversations in our group revolved around work and studies… He was a gentle person.” Bixi was quiet for a while and said slowly, “He is my most precious longing.”

       Moschery’s eyes moved to her long silver hair, and Bixi followed his gaze and smiled, “This belongs to your father.” She blushed a little and said awkwardly, “After he passed away, I was worried that the Cabinet might opt for cremation. After all, with you around, to ensure the uniqueness of the god-level, such a situation wasn’t entirely impossible.”

       Moschery was silent. Helu’s body was originally planned to be cremated, but Berlin changed her mind in the end. His father’s death was not peaceful; the backlash from his mania was more severe than anticipated. When Helu took his last breath, his entire body was covered in wounds he had inflicted on himself. His expression was grotesque, and he died with his eyes wide open.

       At that time, no one had the energy to deal with the old emperor’s body. The Cabinet threw the body casually in the palace and did not send anyone to collect it until the next day.

       But strangely enough, someone had already sorted it out first.

       Helu’s wounds were properly treated, and his eyes were closed. His expression was as serene as if he had just fallen into a deep sleep. He was wearing the uniform of the supreme commander, just like any noble emperor who died naturally.

       “I arranged his remains with my own hands and cut off his hair to keep for myself.” Bixi looked at Moschery with a sad smile, “How could I let him die in such a disgrace? He is the person I love.”

 

       It was impossible to hide the news of the Emperor’s disappearance, which was why Qin Yun summoned the ships. He could not waver the morale of the army when Moschery was away. Even if Moschery was really killed, he had to defend the entire Empire for him.

       “Most of His Majesty’s current troops consists of those purged from the Cabinet and are not easy to control.” Tristana worriedly watched Qin Yun put on the commander’s uniform, “Are you alright with that?”

       Qin Yun unfolded the black cloak and hung it on his shoulders, “Whether there are issues or not, they must be resolved. We can’t afford any disturbances at this critical moment.”

       Tristana looked at the other party with a complicated expression. Qin Yun had already put on the white commander’s uniform, and the hem of the thick black cloak almost hung to the ground. His eyes were bright and resolute.

       “I will use my life and dignity to defend what he holds dear.” Qin Yun said seriously. He smiled at Tristana, “So I have nothing to fear.”

 

       Moschery patiently hid in the darkness. Two single patrols passed by. He sneaked over silently, and the sharp tip of the Dragon Scale sword pierced the other’s throat.

       The whites of Bixi’s eyes turned a light silvery grey. Moschery looked down at the other Sentinel lying on the ground and found that the other Sentinel had gone silent.

       The two of them changed their clothes respectively, and Bixi asked Moschery while tying her hair carefully, “Little Rainbow Dash is alone over there. Aren’t you worried?”

       “I believe him.” Moschery said calmly, “I once said that I would give him half of the sovereignty of this country. A man must do what he says. He and I have equal status. If I am not here, he has the right to make any decision for me.”

       Bixi was amused by his statement that ‘a man must do what he says’. She shook her head and sighed, “You really.”

       Moschery didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he said. In his heart, even if Qin Yun had always been a low-level guide, he was still the best, brave, fearless, kind and strong.

       “It’s great for Little Rainbow Dash to meet you.” Bixi said with a smile. She led the way, feeling a little unfamiliar because she hadn’t been back for a long time, “He never asked me whose child he was…” She glanced at Moschery slyly, “Aren’t you curious too?”

       Moschery’s expression was calm, “I don’t mind if he is a clone.”

       Bixi couldn’t laugh or cry, “Of course he is not a clone.”

       Moschery raised his eyebrows, “Yeah, I know.”

       Bixi had no way to deal with his blind self-confidence. She said helplessly, “Qin Yun’s father was a descendant of the first generation of god-level guides, but he did not inherit the guide gene. I came to Olympus 30 years ago for the same reason—to keep an eye on him.”

       Moschery listened carefully, and Bixi continued, “In the early years, Olympus was not the deformed system it is today. Even if it collects genetic samples from god-level guides, at least people are still free. Olympus wants to try to cultivate the guide the same way they cultivated Sentinel, but they never succeed until one day they discover that the man is missing.”

       “He fell in love with a guide girl who checked his health every day. She became pregnant, and the two decided to elope.” Bixi sounded like she was talking about something unimportant, “But they couldn’t escape at all. In order to protect his wife, the father willingly went back to continue being a guinea pig. I kept the girl’s pregnancy a secret and helped her give birth to Little Rainbow Dash.”

       Bixi sighed, “Miracles and hope often come by accident.” Her expression was heavy, “We took little Rainbow Dash secretly to see his father, who has been completely imprisoned by Olympus. I don’t think anyone can bear the thought of his partner being tortured day and night as a test subject… She chose to die together with him.”

       “I adopted Little Rainbow Dash and promised his parents that I would treat him like my own son.” Bixi said gently, “Most of the laboratories in Olympus were destroyed. I took Little Rainbow Dash back to the Empire. Helu helped a lot to protect this child. Then he suddenly decided to create the first-generation god-level Sentinel, and that’s how you came into being.”

       “I didn’t understand why he did that at the time.” Bixi said slowly, “But now I seem to understand a little bit.”

       Moschery’s expression finally changed. It was a mixture of confusion, elation, emotional and shock.

       Bixi looked at him as if she were looking at a beloved child. She whispered, “He gave you hope, believing that you would finally find the one who has been waiting for you in this world.”

 

       “And then be together for the rest of your life, with no regrets.”

The author has something to say:
Countdown to the end. I’m a little excited just thinking about it!

Notes:
…This is too unexpected… I’m crying (T⌓T)
Also, there’s something I want to clarify since early chapter but can’t coz it’s simply a spoiler. In the manhua, they showed that apparently Qin Yun’s gene was stolen by some spy from Cabinet’s side, but it seems like the gene was not stolen at all; Olympus has Qin Yun’s genes from the start.
After seeing the barrage in the audio drama I just realised that it’s true… In a sense… Qin Yun is older than His Majesty, lololol

Chapter 51 – Killing the Devil

April 18, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       The Gilded Phoenix Wings in Xia Hongshen’s hands were trembling slightly and making a buzzing sound. Xia Hongshen knew that it could no longer bear the demonic energy, and he was afraid that it would be eroded by the demonic energy.

       Long Xing and Xi Anling still hadn’t arrived yet. Xia Hongshen didn’t want to actually leave the Gilded Phoenix Wings in Mei Ling’s hand, so he held the Gilded Phoenix Wings horizontally, turned him into the size of a golden hairpin in his hand and put it back in his pocket.

       Mei Ling hadn’t taken the opportunity to kill everyone yet, and the demonic energy in her body became stronger and stronger. She asked with a sneer, “You don’t even have a weapon. How can you fight with me?”

       Xia Hongshen responded calmly, “Aren’t you afraid that the demonic energy will erode your sanity?”

       “Not afraid,” Mei Ling said, “because before that, I can subdue you first.”

       “Subdue me?” Xia Hongshen suddenly asked her, “Mei Ling, what do you want?”

       Mei Ling looked at Xia Hongshen and said coldly, “I want no one in heaven and earth to disobey me.”

       Xia Hongshen slowly shook her head, “Delusional.”

       As soon as he finished speaking, along the river, a sudden burst of cyan light illuminated half of the sky. Accompanying the cyan light was the sound of swords that followed each other, gradually becoming longer and shorter.

       Mei Ling turned her head to look at the light with doubt on her face.

       Xia Hongshen, however, similarly looked in that direction, and then a smile appeared on his face. Mei Ling had never seen Xia Hongshen smile like that, with a soft smile on his brows and eyes.

       “Chunjun,” Xia Hongshen called in a deep voice.

       Immediately after, a radiant light shot toward them like a released arrow. It forcefully pushed Mei Ling back a few steps with its sword energy, falling into Xia Hongshen’s hands. The blossoming cyan light gradually receded, leaving only a sharp-edged bronze sword.

       Xia Hongshen lifted Chunjun and slowly stroked Chunjun’s bronze sword body with his fingers. As if feeling his touch, Chunjun’s sword trembled continuously and made a sword cry, responding to Xia Hongshen’s previous call.

       Xia Hongshen held the hilt of the sword with both hands, pointed at Mei Ling and said, “Can you hear Chunjun’s excited cry? He hadn’t seen blood for a long time. Even if it’s a monster, he can’t hold it back.”

       When he finished speaking, Xia Hongshen raised Chunjun and struck lightly with his sword. Mei Ling suddenly felt the sword energy pressing against her face. Even though she held up Shining Snow to block it, she still took a few steps back before she could stand still. At the same time, to resist the impact, more magic flowed into her body.

       The blade of Shining Snow’s sword was slender, while the bronze sword was inherently heavy. When the Shining Snow hit Chunjun, it suddenly felt strenuous. It was only because Mei Ling constantly had to replenish it with magic power that it could maintain the Shining Snow to be undefeated.

       The Chunjun sword in Xia Hongshen’s hand had a warm and mellow glow, and the sword energy was full of spiritual power. It was better than the Gilded Phoenix Wings. In just a few confrontations, Shining Snow’s magic power was completely suppressed.

       Mei Ling gathered more and more magic power; she suddenly felt her consciousness dispersing. She realised that she was about to be controlled by the demonic energy; perhaps she would already be consumed by it before she could subdue Xia Hongshen.

       In her plan, Chunjun should not have been there. Chunjun was obviously trapped at Cen Le’s place.

       Mei Ling began to hesitate, and her sword moves became a little messy.

       Xia Hongshen knocked Shining Snow away with her sword, but he was not in a hurry to pursue her. He said to Mei Ling, “You want to be the only one in the world. Where will you put your father?”

       Mei Ling said, “Has he ever treated me sincerely? All he cares about is his position!”

       “Ridiculous!” Xia Hongshen rebuked. Chunjun gathered huge spiritual power and slid down tightly against Shining Snow. With a backhand move, Chunjun actually knocked Shining Snow out of Mei Ling’s hand.

       Shining Snow penetrated into the ground and trembled endlessly.

       Xia Hongshen said, “This sword can’t withstand the magic power.”

       Just hearing his assertion, Shining Snow instantly fell apart and turned into tiny crystal fragments.

       Xia Hongshen said: “Shining Snow is a divine weapon. If you infuse it with magic power, it will be unable to bear it sooner or later. Besides, all things have their own spirit. As the master, do you know Shining Snow’s intentions? Is it willing to follow you into the demonic path?”

       Mei Ling looked at the Shining Snow fragments and was stunned for a moment.

       “There’s no need to listen to him talk too much,” however, at that moment, they heard a voice at the same time, and that voice said, “Return Chunjun to me.”

       Immediately afterwards, Cen Le appeared behind Mei Ling. He supported Princess Mei Ling with one hand and said softly, “Princess, please let me come and serve you.”

       Mei Ling raised her hand, and pieces of Shining Snow flew into her palm one after another. She made a fist and put it in her chest.

       Xia Hongshen looked at Cen Le, “Who are you?”

       At this time, Chunjun trembled slightly, and Xia Hongshen heard Chunjun’s voice ringing in her ears and said, “This man is the City God. His name is Cen Le, and he is also the owner of the Demon Market.”

       “City God?” Xia Hongshen said, “You’re the one who stole from me?”

       Cen Le smiled when he heard this, “Why did Lord Immortal say this? Chunjun was originally my sword. In the past, you destroyed my seal and stole Chunjun. It’s time for you to return Chunjun to me.”

       Xia Hongshen’s expression did not change. He lightly stroked the Chunjun sword with his fingers and said, “If you can’t keep it, doesn’t it belong to me? Give it back to you? What a joke.”

       Cen Le responded calmly, “I guessed you wouldn’t willingly return it, so for something that was stolen, I’ll personally retrieve it.”

       Xia Hongshen sneered. He raised Chunjun, pointed it at Cen Le, and said, “Did you hear him answer you?”

       Xia Hongshen said to Cen Le, “Did you hear him answer you?”

       Cen Le said, “Hm?”

       Xia Hongshen raised his sword and struck at Cen Le, “He said you are delusional!”

       Cen Le retreated repeatedly, and Xia Hongshen waved his Chunjun, slashing with the powerful sword energy.

       At this time, Cen Le raised his hand and surrounded Xia Hongshen with many beasts emitting demonic energy from all directions.

       Xia Hongshen turned his wrist and instantly cut the surrounding beasts with Chunjun’s sword energy.

       “It’s useless,” said Cen Le, and he retreated to the surface of the river. “You can’t kill all the demonic beasts irrigated by demonic energy even with all your strength.”

       Xia Hongshen said, “That’s right, so I only need to kill one of you.”

       Cen Le saw Xia Hongshen disregarding the attacks of the demonic beasts and swung Chunjun towards him. Simultaneously, he used the demonic beasts as a shield in front of him and urged them to attack Xia Hongshen from behind. He said, “Do you want to perish together with me?”

       But as soon as he finished asking, the beast that pounced on Xia Hongshen’s back was wrapped around the neck by a silver whip, dragged away, and hit the ground hard.

       Xi Anling held the dragon tip whip in her hand and protected Xia Hongshen behind him. At the same time, she called out in surprise, “Chunjun?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “Stop them!” Then he held Chunjun tightly and chased Cen Le across the river.

       Cen Le waved his hand and summoned a spear to block Chunjun’s attack. At the same time, the demonic beasts appeared one after another and stepped forward to block Xia Hongshen’s attack and bite Xia Hongshen at the same time.

       Xi Anling used his Dragon Tip Whip to block them one by one, preventing the beasts from getting closer to Xia Hongshen.

       Soon, a large number of City God Temple guards came chasing from the river.

       Cen Le shouted, “Take him down for me!”

       But before they could take action, The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division also shouted loudly, “Don’t do anything!”

       Cen Le and the demonic beasts he bred were both equally full of demonic aura.

       Now, the whole city was overflowing with evil spirits, and it was sealed by the heavenly realm, leaving no way in or out. Originally, the City God should have made the decision in everything, but now the City God had fallen into his own selfish desires, disregarding the safety of the entire city.

       In the dark night sky, lightning and thunder continued. Whenever a demonic beast emerged from the gap, lightning would fall to block it. However, Jade Emperor seemed to be hesitant to make up his mind on what to do with the city, so he could only seal it first to prevent anyone from entering or exiting.

       The guards of the City God’s Temple should not have obeyed the orders of The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division and ignored the orders of the City God. But then, the judge, Black Bai Wuchang and others came one after another. Now that everyone saw this situation, they all felt that it was unusual.

       The judge stepped forward and said, “Lord City God! Please put the safety of the city first and stop now!”

       Cen Le naturally shouldn’t do it.

       Xia Hongshen said loudly, “You City God is the mastermind colluding with the demonic realm. It’s best for you to sever ties with them quickly. When the time for reckoning comes, don’t let yourselves be implicated by them!”

       The City God’s group of guards suddenly didn’t know what to do. They are just a group of small officials in the underworld, and they definitely didn’t dare to go against the underworld for the City God’s sake, let alone the heaven.

       Black Bai Wuchang stood beside the magistrate and The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division and asked, “What should I do?”

       The Lord Magistrate of Yin and Yang Division said, “Be calm and don’t be impatient. Send someone quickly to inform the underworld. The underworld will make the decision.”

       Everyone here was hesitant, but Xia Hongshen slashed hard with Chunjun in his hand. The river immediately split into two halves, and water mist splashed everywhere.

       Cen Le gradually lost the ability to fight back, and he laughed wildly, “As long as the demonic energy here remains, you will never be able to defeat me! I am different from Mei Ling. I am not afraid of becoming a demon. As long as I can get Chunjun back, what does it matter if I become a demon?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “Oh? You don’t think that I have a way to get rid of the devil?”

       Cen Le looked at him, “Even the Heavenly Lords remain indifferent. What can you do on your own?”

       Xia Hongshen raised his head, looked at the dark sky above his head, and said, “If He doesn’t want to take action, I will just force him to take action.”

       After saying this, Xia Hongshen held Chunjun tightly, jumped up high, and flew straight into the clouds.

       Cen Le was stunned for a moment. He saw Xia Hongshen lifting Chunjun above his head, gathering all his spiritual power, and slashing down into the void. He suddenly realised that Xia Hongshen was actually trying to use Chunjun’s power to split the boundary the Jade Emperor had left behind.

       Lightning flashed all of a sudden, and the whole city was illuminated like daylight. A gap was opened in Jade Emperor’s seal, and strong winds swept through it. Even the river in the city centre was churning as if an earthquake had shaken the mountains and floods had erupted.

       Yun Po still had time to send a text message to Xia Hongshen, saying, “Thank you!”

       It was a pity that even Xi Anling couldn’t take the time to reply to him.

       Yun Po led hundreds of monks from the temple into the city, chanting Buddhist mantras and washing away the evil spirits.

       Once the seal was broken, the Heavenly realm could no longer sit back and let the evil spread.

       At this time, if an ordinary person looked into the sky from the window, they would notice that besides the lightning and thunder, there were lights flashing in the sky and then falling to the ground, but they couldn’t see clearly what they were.

       That was when a large number of heavenly soldiers and generals descended from the heavenly realm. While sealing the gaps in the demon world, they wanted to capture Mei Ling and Cen Le back to the heavenly realm.

       Seeing Cen Le being surrounded by the heavenly generals, and the demonic beast being expelled by the heavenly generals, Xia Hongshen stood still and loosened the hand that had been holding Chunjun tightly.

       Song Jun appeared next to him and called, “Master.”

       Xia Hongshen turned to look at him and said, “Do you remember?”

       Song Jun nodded slightly.

       Xia Hongshen said, “You should call me Senior Brother; I’m used to hearing it.”

       Song Jun heard this and responded, “Okay, Senior Brother Xia.”

       Xia Hongshen hugged Song Jun a little tiredly, rested his head on his shoulder, and rubbed it for a while.

       Song Jun lowered his gaze but couldn’t help but blush slightly on his cheeks.

       At this time, a heavenly general came over and saluted, “Lord Immortal, Jade Emperor asks you to go back and see him.”

       Xia Hongshen responded, “Wait a moment, I will go back with you.”

       He handed the Gilded Phoenix Wings to Long Xing and Xi Anling, who came later and went to Yun Po himself to explain the situation of the city to him.

       “You’re going back to the Heavenly Realm?” Yun Po asked.

       Xia Hongshen nodded, “Although the Heavenly General is sealing the gaps in the demon world, there is still a lot of demonic energy remaining in the city, so I have to trouble you.”

       Yun Po looked at him and suddenly sighed, “You old monster, after living in the mortal realm for so long, have you developed feelings for humans?”

       Hearing this, Xia Hongshen raised his head, looked at the sky and said, “The human world is originally a place where humans and monsters coexist. It’s a pity that the heavens don’t cherish it, but I still do.”

       Yun Po also felt a little emotional for a moment, nodded, and then said, “Okay, leave it to me, but you should settle the bill with me before you leave.”

       Xia Hongshen patted him on the shoulder and said, “Go ahead and write it down. I’ll pay it back when I have the money.”

       Yun Po suddenly said angrily, “When will you have money?”

       Xia Hongshen smiled and said nothing, waved to Yun Po, and turned back to Song Jun and the others.

       However, Cen Le was besieged by the heavenly generals and wanted to fight to the death. He gathered a large amount of magic power around him and wanted to use the magic power to kill the heavenly generals. Seeing this from a distance, Song Jun gathered his sword energy and slashed at the magic power around Cen Le, scattering the magic power so that he could not gather it.

       Cen Le stopped and looked at Song Jun, “Do you really not care about our old friendship at all?”

       Song Jun said to Cen Le, “I have completely forgotten what you looked like in the past. So what friendship is there?”

       Cen Le closed his eyes, allowing the Heavenly General’s large blade to rest against his neck. He sighed and said, “Back then, I should have taken you away. As long as you don’t recover your memories, you won’t be like this again today.”

       Song Jun asked, “You are the one who locked my soul in the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda?”

       Cen Le didn’t say anything and just sighed.

       Song Jun said softly, “Even if I don’t recover my memory, I won’t leave with you.” He pointed to his chest, “I’m not a cold weapon. I have a soul.”

       Princess Mei Ling still held the pieces of Shining Snow in her hand, and when the generals attacked her, she said, “Don’t come near me. I’ll go back with you.”

       She looked in the direction of Xia Hongshen from a distance and thought, in the end, she had underestimated him.

       Mei Ling and Cen Le were escorted back to the heavenly realm. The two heavenly generals were still waiting for Xia Hongshen, asking him to return with them.

       When Xia Hongshen returned, Long Xing and Song Jun were checking Feng Junyuan’s injury. He squatted down, looked at Feng Junyuan lying in Long Xing’s arms, and asked, “Are you okay?”

       Feng Junyuan shook his head.

       Song Jun said, “Demonic energy seeping in, but it’s nothing serious.”

       Xia Hongshen reached out and touched Feng Junyuan’s head and then said, “Come back to the heavenly realm with me, and I will find someone to help you remove the demonic energy.”

       Feng Junyuan nodded and turned into a small golden hairpin in Xia Hongshen’s hands, which he put into his pocket.

       Song Jun stood up, following Xia Hongshen, and asked, “Are you going to go back?”

       From the bottom of his heart, Song Jun was not too willing to return to that place.

       Chunjun in the previous life and Song Jun in this life were actually more like two people regardless of personality and experience. But once they were merged together, the one who had the upper hand was the life and memory that had lasted for thousands of years.

       And Song Jun couldn’t help but panic sometimes. He felt that the current Song Jun would be completely swallowed up.

       However, didn’t the fact that he still felt panic indicates that Song Jun was still present? This short experience of more than 20 years has shaken him despite his millennia-long lifespan.

Chapter 52 – To Start a Prairie Fire (1)

April 16, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       After half a year, Eta Star once again became the premiere battleground between the Empire and Olympus. The previous devastation was still there, and the two armies faced each other at the border. Arthur’s warships deployed in a chain formation, almost completely encircling the opposing force.

       The huge metal wings were like the scythe in the hand of death in the dark night, and the intensive artillery fire tore apart Eta Star’s fragile defence line.

       Shen Zhuofan was sitting at the back. He looked at Arthur, who was about to land and connected to the video call.

       “The guide team will set off in five minutes.” Shen Zhuofan was wearing a black field uniform. He was tall and slender. Although he was not as robust as a sentinel, he was still standing tall and graceful.

       Arthur’s fiery red hair stood out conspicuously on the battlefield. He joked, “It’s okay if you don’t go over. Just hide behind.”

       Shen Zhuofan rolled his eyes, “We can switch places if you want. You come here, and I’ll go there.”

       Arthur laughed. He put his two fingers together and made a handsome military salute in front of his forehead, “It is my honour to fight alongside you, Guide Shen Zhuofan.”

 

       Skarter and Lin Dongliang came not long after, and they were used to wearing formal clothes. This was the first time Shen Zhuofan saw his usually gentle and elegant senior wearing a field uniform.

       Lin Dongliang was a little shorter than him, but he didn’t look thin, and he had a gentle and heroic air.

       “There are a lot of controlled guides here; many of them are still underage.” Shen Zhuofan’s face turned ugly. He had not investigated Eta’s experimental projects before. However, when he actually saw it, he still couldn’t accept it, “Most of the Sentinel are diehard Olympus loyalists, and only a small portion of them are willing to submit and surrender.”

       Lin Dongliang frowned, “There is a reason why Olympus has been independent for so many years.” He took the lead in entering the Eta gene bank. He saw nothing else except a few sentinel corpses on the ground. Olympus had already emptied the furnishings inside beforehand.

       Arthur clicked his tongue, “It seems that what happened before has basically made them give up here.”

       Skarter didn’t comment. He led his men around a few times and returned to the gene bank with a serious expression, “I think we have to go directly to Olympus.”

       The others looked at him.

       Skarter took a deep breath, “If this side really gives up, then the size of Olympus’s current army is not something that His Majesty can fight against.”

 

       Moschery did not show any difference when he received Lin Dongliang’s report. He just replied, “I understand.” Then, he readjusted the distribution of the aircraft ships.

       Qin Yun saw that he had changed into a flight suit and did not stop him, “You don’t plan to take me with you?”

       Moschery glanced at him, “I’m just going to investigate. I’ll be back in a while.”

       “Then you stay here.” Qin Yun suggested, “There is no rule that the Emperor must personally take part in the danger. I can go if it is just for investigation.”

       Moschery frowned, “Don’t make trouble.” He said helplessly, “Little Bixi will be worried.”

       Qin Yun: “I will be worried if you go. That’s not the reason.”

       Moschery was a little angry, but he was reluctant to get really angry with Qin Yun. He glared at Qin Yun a little irritably, and finally, he could only compromise, “Call Chen Xiao and Tristana. You will be on a ship with them.”

       “…” Qin Yun was confused, “How could you give your guide to someone else…”

       Unmoved, Moschery insisted, “For your own good, cut the crap.”

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       In the end, when the actual departure time came, the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes, and Qin Yun didn’t expect to wait for Bixi.

       “I’ll go with you.” Bixi was carrying a first aid kit that looked bigger than her, “Just arrange an aircraft for me, or I can fly it myself.”

       Qin Yun was going crazy, “What’s the point of you going along for the ride?! Want me to die of fright?!”

       Bixi said confidently, “There are no big or small battlefields. As the commander, of course, I can go, but you, as a member of the royal family, should, in theory, one go, and one stays behind to oversee the overall situation”

       “…” Qin Yun was too depressed to refute and could only watch Bixi boarding Moschery’s ship.

       Tristana comforted him and said, “We’re not far away anyway, so we can always back up if something’s wrong.”

       Qin Yun folded his arms and said nothing. He had a lingering sense of unease, but he couldn’t quite articulate it in the moment. He had to endure it alone with no apparent solution in sight.

 

       When they were about to arrive at the border of Olympus, Moschery gave an order for everyone to hide. Chen Xiao piloted the aircraft to follow his, and the remaining ten or so small spacecraft formed a cross to protect the rear.

       Qin Yun couldn’t help but connect to the video and waited for a long time before seeing Moschery’s face.

       “Don’t get too far forward.” Qin Yun warned, “There’s no way Olympus isn’t patrolling.”

       Moschery nodded, “I know.” He frowned, “Sit down, don’t stand and talk to me, be careful of falling.”

       Qin Yun sat down obediently. He and Moschery looked outside together. After actually sneaking into the border of Olympus, they both discovered the problem.

       “…” Qin Yun, “This has gone full military base.”

       Moschery said nothing with a sullen face. Chen Xiao said seriously, “They’re on high alert. We’ll only be able to stay for a while at most.”

       Bixi’s voice came from the communicator, “Can you confirm where Helu is?”

       “It’s in progress.” Tristana quickly entered the command, “I’ve hacked into the Alliance map of Olympus… but it is too big. As His Highness said, they do not have any civilian equipment. It is just a large military base.” Suddenly, the female general’s face changed drastically, “Crap, they spotted us!”

 

       Several patrol ships had already moved quickly from a distance. Moschery calmly dodged the tracking bullets and gave the order in a deep voice, “Chen Xiao will go first. I will cover your retreat.”

       Qin Yun was just about to say whether the order was reversed when he felt the wings of the aircraft shaking. One of the enemy aircraft carriers was close to them at some point. The fuselage hit the side and almost overturned Chen Xiao in the driver’s seat.

       Moschery controlled the aircraft to fly upward quickly, and he concentrated his firepower to knock down the opponent without hesitation.

       “Damn it!” Chen Xiao’s head had just hit the top of his head; he wiped it only to realise that it was bleeding, and couldn’t help but curse.

       Tristana’s Crested Ibis flew to his side, its red and black wings gently caressing Sentinel’s wound.

       “I’m fine.” Qin Yun confirmed to Moschery in the video, “Stop covering up and just rush out.”

       The Emperor’s face was as dark as water, “It’s too late, the firepower is too strong, we must abandon one.”

       Qin Yun just discovered that half of the dozen or so spaceships that had followed him had been sunk by Olympus, and Moschery had arranged the rest around his own ship.

       “I’ll lure them away.” Moschery glanced at Qin Yun one last time, and he suddenly smiled, “There is something I want you to take a look at.”

       Qin Yun’s expression was a mix of bewilderment and anger. Before he could speak, Moschery turned off the communication device.

       Then, a huge black dragon appeared above the Moschery aircraft.

       “Oh my god…” Tristana covered her mouth and said in disbelief, “Is that His Majesty’s spiritual link?”

       At this moment, Qin Yun finally understood what his sentinel wanted to show him.

 

       Almost at the same time, the artillery fire of all Olympus patrol ships was aimed at Moschery’s aircraft. Chen Xiao roared and increased the speed of the aircraft to the extreme, and finally rushed out of the border, grazing the gunfire.

       Qin Yun turned around in panic. In a blaze of fire, the Moschery aircraft could no longer be seen clearly.

Chapter 50 – Lost Soul

April 15, 2024 / / 0 Comments

       The child took Song Jun towards the top of the tower and told him that in the tower, he had seen a person exactly like Song Jun, except that he was dressed differently.

       “That man seemed to have lived in the tower for a long time,” the child said.

       Song Jun watched him jump up the stairs and suddenly asked, “When were you imprisoned here?”

       The child looked a little gloomy, “A few months ago.”

       Song Jun asked him, “Can you never get out again?”

       The child said ‘En’ and said, “I will become like them in the future, and then I won’t feel lonely anymore.”

       Song Jun raised his hand and touched the child’s head. They didn’t feel warm at all.

       The child raised his head and looked at him as if he didn’t need him to pity him and said to him, “You can’t get out either. You can talk to me in the future. Maybe we won’t become like them.”

       Song Jun smiled but said nothing.

       They arrived at the highest floor of the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda. The child suddenly stopped walking and pointed to a man in front of him who was leaning against the railing and looking up at the top of the tower.

       The man was wearing dark clothes, with long black hair hanging down his shoulders. His appearance was clearly the same as Song Jun’s, but his face was serene, and his eyes were devoid of any expression.

       This was the incomplete soul in Song Jun’s body. He had Song Jun’s missing memory, but he had lost his sanity. He just relied on his memory and looked in the direction of heaven day after day, wanting to return to his master.

       Song Jun looked at him, closed his eyes, and then slowly walked in his direction.

       Ever since he first accompanied Xia Hongshen to the City God Temple, he felt a pull from his own soul. However, at that time, he didn’t know what it was. Even now, he remained unclear about why his soul and spirit were lost and trapped in this place. Yet, he was certain that once he retrieved his lost soul, he should be able to recover his past memories.

       At the time when his soul fused, many memories and emotions came together. Even though he could no longer feel the pain without his body, he still felt extremely painful because of this feeling.

       When Song Jun was about to kneel on the ground, he supported his body with his hands. He raised his head, gasped for air, and then slowly closed his eyes.

       Xia Hongshen waved his Gilded Phoenix Wings and struck them repeatedly against the Shining Snow in Mei Ling’s hand.

       In fact, this was the first time Xia Hongshen had fought against Mei Ling. As the daughter of Jade Emperor, Mei Ling’s spiritual power was naturally not weak, but she should not be so strong. After all, her opponent was Demon Zhen, an ancient monster that even the Jade Emperor dared not offend easily.

       Xia Hongshen used the Gilded Phoenix Wings to force Mei Ling to take a few steps back, then stopped and said, “Didn’t you notice?”

       Mei Ling was startled, “What did you notice?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “The demonic energy in your body is restless and is about to overflow.”

       When Mei Ling heard this, her face turned cold.

       Xia Hongshen continued, “Are you the one who bring the demonic energy into the city?”

       Mei Ling didn’t speak, which seemed to be her acquiescence.

       Xia Hongshen didn’t understand, “Do you realise that as the demonic energy spreads, the heavenly realm won’t let you act freely? Sooner or later, you will ruin this city.”

       Mei Ling said, “How do you know I don’t have the ability to contend with the heavenly realm?”

       Xia Hongshen asked, “As the daughter of Jade Emperor, what’s the point of doing such a thing?”

       “The daughter of Jade Emperor?” Mei Ling showed a look of disgust, “Isn’t the Jade Emperor helpless against you as well? If there’s something I want to achieve, I will do it. Since the Jade Emperor is of no use, I’ll rely on my own abilities to accomplish it.”

       Xia Hongshen frowned slightly.

       Suddenly, Xia Hongshen noticed that the ground beneath his feet began to tremble. He looked at Mei Ling and asked, “What’s going on?”

       Mei Ling smiled and said, “I opened the passage from the human world to the demon world. Then, monsters from the demon world can use this passage to enter and exit the human world.”

       Xia Hongshen said, “Did you really collude with the demon world to do such a thing?”

       “Stop talking nonsense,” Mei Ling said impatiently, “Sooner or later, you will be nothing more than a prisoner under my command.”

       The Shining Snow Sword flashed with dazzling light and stabbed Xia Hongshen in the face again.

       At the same time, cracks invisible to the naked eye opened in countless dark corners of the city, and demonic energy sprang out from the cracks, flowing freely throughout the city.

       On the contrary, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the sky, followed by thunder and strong winds, as if a heavy rain was brewing.

       At this time, Xia Hongshen’s cell phone suddenly rang.

       He didn’t have time to answer the phone, so he flicked his fingers in his pocket, threw Xi Anling out, and asked her to answer the phone.

       Xi Anling turned over and knelt on the ground, with her short skirt not even covering her knees. After answering the phone, she heard Yun Po’s voice coming from the other side. He shouted loudly, “I can’t enter the city!”

       Xi Anling then shouted to Xia Hongshen, “Yun Po said he can’t enter the city!”

       While Xia Hongshen was fighting Mei Ling, he was still distracted and replied, “Tell him that this city has opened a gap with the demon world and has been sealed off by the heaven.”

       Xi Anling then told Yun Po again.

       Yun Po asked loudly, “What should we do?”

       Xia Hongshen said, “Tell him to find a way to get into the city.”

       Xi Anling conveyed Xia Hongshen’s words again, then hung up the phone, stood up and wanted to help Xia Hongshen deal with Mei Ling, but Xia Hongshen ordered, “Go to Long Xing and tell him the situation.”

       Xi Anling was unwilling to give in and stared at Mei Ling fiercely.

       Xia Hongshen raised his voice slightly and yelled, “Go!”

       Then she stamped her foot, turned around and ran away.

       Mei Ling glanced at Xi Anling, sneered, and drew a semicircle in front of her forehead with her left hand. Then Xia Hongshen saw countless dark demonic energy surging in the direction of Mei Ling and entering her body.

       Mei Ling wanted to use the power of the demon world to defeat Xia Hongshen.

       A dark glow spread along the snowy white blade. As it continued to clash with the Gilded Phoenix Wings, the golden glow of the Gilded Phoenix Wings slowly faded, and it was about to be eroded by the demonic energy.

       Although Gilded Phoenix Wings and Dragon Tip Whip were Xia Hongshen’s usual weapons, the most powerful weapon around him was still the Chunjun, and it was also the weapon he used most easily.

       Even now, Xia Hongshen still did not know the true identity of the owner of the Demon Market. However, since it was related to the demonic energy and connected to Princess Meiling, then Chunjun should also be trapped by them.

       Where was Chunjun?

       Xia Hongshen raised his head and let out a beast’s roar, which was the sound he made to summon Chunjun. In their long years, once Chunjun had left his side, he had always been like this, impatiently calling Chunjun back; he did not want to leave Chunjun.

       Before that, Song Jun, who had found his soul and memory, was half-kneeling on the ground, trying to digest the things that were pouring into him.

       The child next to him cautiously looked at him and asked, “Are you okay?”

       Song Jun shook his head, resisted the pain and stood up. He reached out and touched the child’s head and said, “I’m fine.”

       The child looked up at him and suddenly felt something strange because the expression of the person in front of him had changed. He was not as calm and lifeless as before, nor was he the silly and innocent one just now. It was as if he was a different person.

       Song Jun stretched out his hand to hold the railing in front of him and gently pressed his chest with his other hand. He finally remembered everything. He also knew why he was here, and he knew more clearly what he should do next. And only now did he realise that Chunjun in his previous life was not as indifferent as he saw, but had more and stronger emotions, far beyond what he thought.

       “There’s no way out,” the little child told him, “none of us can get out.”

       Song Jun turned around and told him, “I will definitely go out.”

       The child didn’t know whether to believe it or not and kept looking at him with his head raised.

       Song Jun said, “I will take you out with me and send you to reincarnation.”

       The child opened his eyes wide, then sniffed as he said, “I don’t have any tears, but my nose is a little sore.”

       Song Jun smiled slightly at him.

       He took the children down from the top to the bottom of the pagoda. If he remembered correctly, Xia Hongshen told him that the Soul Suppressing Pagoda was connected to the eighteenth level of hell. Even if there was truly no way out of the pagoda, he was determined to find a way to escape, even if it meant entering the eighteen layers of hell.

       He was Chunjun, and there were thousands of lives under his sword. He had nothing to fear in this world, only concern.

       The door of the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda was still closed. The soul could only enter, but there was no way to get out.

       The ghost guarding the door was still trying to grab Song Jun’s arm. Song Jun raised his hand and waved him away. His whole body suddenly flew up and then landed in the distance.

       Song Jun reached out and touched the tower door.

       “It can’t be opened,” the kid said. He didn’t want to discourage Song Jun. He was just afraid that too much hope would eventually lead to more painful disappointment.

       Song Jun slowly closed his eyes. He was a sword spirit, and his soul carried Chunjun’s sharpest and purest sword energy. The sword energy was slowly injected into the pagoda door in front of him, and he wanted to use the sword energy to split the door directly.

       The entire Soul Suppressing Pagoda began to tremble, but it was still not enough. He could not use his sword energy to break open the door.

       The child was very disappointed and said to Song Jun, “It won’t do.”

       Song Jun opened his eyes, and he was not disappointed. If his ability were not enough to break through the door of the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, then he would go and find the passage to the eighteenth level of hell.

       At this moment, Song Jun heard Xia Hongshen’s call.

       The child asked in surprise, “What is the sound?”

       Song Jun raised his head and said, “My master is calling me. He needs me.”

       “Huh?” The child didn’t know why.

       The beast’s roar came one after another.

       Song Jun closed his eyes hard, and countless energy from the sword overflowed from his soul. The child was frightened and hurriedly hid in a corner to avoid the Chunjun sword energy.

       He saw Song Jun emanating a bronze-coloured glow, the sharp sword energy disrupting the stagnant air within the tower. Countless spirits emitted wailing cries. As the radiance expanded, the entire tower began to tremble violently. Sounds of collisions echoed from doors and windows. The seal outside the main gate was slowly sliced through by the sword’s energy, burning into a pile of ashes.

       When Night Patrol God led the guards from the City God’s Temple arrived, they saw that the door of the Soul Suppressing Pagoda was broken open from the inside. Song Jun, who was lying on the ground, slowly stood up. The blood on his forehead was not dry yet, but the wound there was already healing slowly.

       “Chunjun?” Night Patrol God shouted angrily, “Do you dare to destroy the tower?”

       As soon as the tower door opened, Song Jun came out, and many souls scattered in all directions.

       Song Jun didn’t have time to struggle with the Night Patrol God. He used his sword energy to force them away and flew away outside the City God’s Temple.
