I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot [BL]

In front of the Imperial Palace, Hou Longqing stood straight in his royal robes wearing gold armor around his body. Standing beside him was Heilan in his human form wearing the same armor as Hou Longqing but in a different color. A silver armor.         

    

In front of them is a broken barrier with a crack. In the crack, countless demons were pouring inside. The first wave of demons were low leveled ones and the ordinary royal guards can block and fight them off. Sounds of clashing and fighting can be heard anywhere. Roars of demonic beings echo within the land mixing up with the battle cries of warriors fighting against the former.     

The leaders of each group haven't made a move yet. The Human Emperor stood above the humans and guided them in the fight while the Seven Deadly Sins lead the herd of demons with intentions to eliminate the human race.     

With only low leveled without intelligence demons being fought by the royal guards, a few cultivators had supported them from behind with their swords and elemental powers. The Hou Long Sect disciples would conjure a few small fire dragons to help the royal soldiers fighting in the frontline. At least at this moment, the human race was able to push the demons over and stop their tracks.     

Hou Longqing and Heilan stood at the Imperial Palace to oversee the battle. Though they were winning, they didn't have a good expression on their faces. They look gloomy and worried.     

The Black Dragon, Heilan whispered to the Human Emperor, "There are two High-class devils and one unknown... The latter seems to be a lot stronger than the two high-class devils combined. What do you want to do, A'Qing?"     

"Focus on stopping their tracks. As long as the people at the teleportation area were done being transferred meant we had finished our duty as rulers." Hou Longqing said.     

Heilan sighed at the decision the Emperor had made but didn't tell him to think twice.     

"Okay. I shall accompany you until the end. By the way, your younger sister is on her way here." Heilan said.     

Hou Longqing thought of his heroic younger sister. Ever since Princess Hou had inherited the position of Sect Master in the Hou Long Sect from the former Prime Minister her fire elemental techniques had gotten stronger. It can be said with just fighting prowess alone Princess Hou is stronger than the Human Emperor, Hou Longqing     

The Human Emperor said, "I told her to oversee the transfer of the civilians to the west so she can also go to the west when things go wrong. Who told her to come here!?"     

Then someone answered his question, a voice of a young lady coming from behind. It was Princess Hou who just arrived herself at the frontline of the war.     

Princess Hou said, "No one told me to come. I wanted to come here myself. Imperial Brother, it was always you who would do your best to protect me. Even when you had become the Crown Prince you made sure I will not be involved with the politics of the Palace and live my life normally."

"But Imperial Brother, I wanted to help you. I am your sister. The only remaining family you have left." Princess Hou said. "Brother, I don't want to live alone. At least I want to fight with you at the very end!"     

The Human Emperor looked moved yet annoyed. He did his best to keep the life of his sister. Their mother had died by the former elder brother from another father before. They were saved by the former emperor who was also their uncle only then they were safe in the Imperial Palace.     

Ever since the Eldest Prince and their father had been bedridden with sickness, the danger in the Imperial Palace had intensified. Hou Lingqing could barely protect his sister and mother. But who would have thought that he had left them only once because they were summoned to the Main palace and he would never see his Queen Mother ever again? His sister was in a coma. Life and death were unknown. If it wasn't because Lord Hei and Chun Hongyun-Jun's arrival, even his sister wouldn't be able to survive that day.     

Hou Longqing spoke and said, "Xiao Hou, are you still young? You haven't met the person who would become the most important to you. Much more important than me or the Imperial Family. Listen to brother, turn back, and lead our people to the West."     

The Princess frowned and rejected her brother's request, "No! How come Heilan is allowed to stay with you until the end but you wouldn't allow me, your sister, to accompany you!?"     

"You two are different. You are my family. Lan-ge is my everything." Hou Longqing said.     

The Princess and the rest of the people in the area were stupefied. All of them knew that the Black Dragon, Heilan, suddenly appeared beside Hou Longqing when he became the new emperor. But only those who served his Palace knew that Heilan had always been on the Crown Prince's side ever since he came back from the south.     

Heilan was the only friend of the Crown Prince, his greatest confidant, and his only pillar of support. As a crown prince and heir to the throne, it is hard for Hou Longqing to have a relationship with other humans. His standing and authority are different from the rest. He is meant to rule the whole race once the current him steps down on the throne.     

There are lots of people who wanted to control him, those who wanted to scheme at him. There were also those who wanted him to lead them and those who wanted to serve him as their master. But only Heilan was willing to stay by his side as his equal. Protecting him and caring for him. Only besides Heilan that Hou Longqing can act not as the heir to the throne or a Prince of the Royal Family but as just Hou Longqing.     

After spending more time together it didn't take long for them to fall. The difference in race didn't matter. After all, Hou Longqing was capable of accepting Heilan even before he awakened his inheritance as a dragon. Even a mere black serpent, Hou Longqing treated him the same way. He had brought him away from the darkness and pulled him out of loneliness. Even if they only have one another, these two were satisfied. That's why Heilan and Hou Longqing see each other as everything. Whether life or death they choose to be together.     

Stunned and speechless, Princess Hou looked at her elder brother and at Heilan who was standing beside him. She knew that love between the same gender is possible. After all, even Lord Hei and Chun Hongyun-Jun are together. Sect Master Bai and Sect Master Yun are married. In the cultivation world being a companion with someone of the same gender is normal.     

But her elder brother is the Emperor of the human race. Heilan is someone from the dragon race. The love between these two races is unheard but no one can say that it was forbidden. Princess Hou also knew that before she gained any strength to support her older brother, Heilan had always been by his side.     

In the first place, she had fallen in love with Heilan at first sight but unfortunately, Heilan only had her elder brother in his eyes. She can never replace her elder brother in Heilan's eyes. She was envious of their relationship on the other hand she was also happy for them. Two kinds of people from different races and from different sides. She actually wanted to have the same kind of love.         

    

But Hou Longqing is her only family member. She wanted to fight with him until the end. Is she being selfish when thinking of this?     

Hou Longqing suddenly felt someone rubbing the top of her head. When he looked up she saw Heilan looking at her with a bit of tenderness which he only gave to his elder brother.     

Heilan said, "You are a good child. But you haven't lived the life that is meant for you yet and haven't found the one who would forever stay by your side until the end. Leave your brother to me. I will be with him until the end."     

"But...!?" Princess Hou was caught off guard as Hou Longqing suddenly pressed her sleep acupuncture forcing her to fall into slumber. Hou Longqing ordered a few loyal people of his sister and gave her to them.     

"Leave the frontline. Return to the teleportation circle and go to the west. Take care of her for me." The Human Emperor said.     

The ladies who had been saved by Princess Hou at their lowest were extremely loyal to the Imperial Princess. They accepted the Emperor's orders with determination in their eyes and paid their last respect to the Human Emperor and the Guardian of the Royal Family.     

"We wish you victory!"     

Hou Longqing watched his sister leave his line of sight. He was a bit melancholy when someone held his hand. As he turned around to look he saw Heilan smiling at him. Hou Longqing was a bit stunned.     

The Heilan he knew rarely smiles. He is also cold and expressionless. Despite his handsome and alluring features, he emits an unapproachable aura that would make others avoid approaching him. Though this wasn't useful against him. Whether Heilan is smiling or not. Angry or happy. Hou Longqing was never afraid of him.     

Heilan said, "A'Qing, this is the first time I heard that you think of me as your everything. Is this true?"     

"Yes." Hou Longqing responded without hesitation.     

His reply just made Heilan even happier. He knew what he wanted. From the very beginning to his current life there was never a thing or someone Heilan treated as important. Hou Longqing was the first and would most likely be the last one.     

Suddenly, Heilan leans his forehead to touch Hou Longqing's forehead. He started chanting unknown languages that Hou Longqing couldn't understand. What Hou Longqing didn't know was that the dragon race was capable of sharing its long lifespan with someone else.     

But this someone else is a person that is the most precious one in the heart of a dragon. Their one and only reverse scale. It was the sole weakness of the dragon and the most important one in their life. Heilan learned about this from his inherited memories of his race. He had longed to make Hou Longqing his but the latter is the human emperor of the race. He couldn't just take him away.

But now that the catastrophe for the human race had come, with their life and death unknown, Heilan chose to tie Hou Longqing with his life. This time they would really be together in life and death. A black dragon imprint was left on Hou Longqing's forehead. This is a fragment of Heilan's soul.     

Heilan said, "A'Qing you would be mine even in death. Do you mind?"     

"No. I will be with you until the end." Hou Longqing said with a smile.     

Heilan upon seeing his beloved smile couldn't help but kiss his forehead. But unknown to him, the ritual he made wasn't an ordinary spell that ties his and Hou Longqing's life together. But an ancestral ritual that records his partner's name in his Race's genealogy.     

---     

Somewhere in the Upper Realm...     

In a place called a Dragon Nest, a floating island where dragons reign. A commotion suddenly happened at their Ancestral Hall. Suddenly a lesser dragon who is tasked to watch over the Ancestral Hall came running to the Emperor and Empress of the dragon race.     

"Dragon Emperor! Dragon Empress! Something had happened with the name of the missing Dragon Prince!"     

"The Dragon Prince was still alive. He is definitely alive. Just as the chosen other half of the Dragon Prince had appeared in the Ancestral Hall. The Dragon Prince is definitely alive somewhere!!"     

In the largest nest, on the floating island, a pure white dragon and a gold dragon woke up. Their sizes were humongous and the aura they emit is full of majestic and elegant. When they open their eyes, the White Dragon Empress reveals familiar red crimson irises. That's right. It wasn't only demons who possessed red iris in this world. Mythical beings like dragons and phoenixes also possess such a trait.     

The gold dragon with gold irises commanded, "Call the Prophet! This Emperor wanted to know where my missing son had gone!"         

    

"Husband, you must find our son. We had already lost him when he was only an egg. Xiao Hei had been missing ever since then." The White Dragon Empress pleads.     

The Golden Dragon Emperor rubs his face against his wife to comfort her. Ever since they had lost their black egg, his wife had been devastated. She had always blamed herself for losing her newborn egg.     

"Don't worry, my Empress. I will definitely find our son. Since his chosen partner's name was recorded it means he had awakened his ancestral memories. The prophet would be able to find him now that his name in the Ancestral Hall had some changes."
