The Celestial Master had left the police station to report to his sect that he had completed his mission. He didn't leave the area completely but went out of the station to use a communication talisman to report. His report was immediately received by the Mission Tower and his mission was considered complete. The next instruction he received is to wait for someone from the Feng Clan to hand over the criminal called Lou Lan.
Lou Lan's voice had longed turned hoarse from shouting nonstop for hours. The policemen all covered their ears with earphones and played music during work hours just to turn deaf to this young man who couldn't stop shouting curses and all. They had also heard him shouting cursed words and bad words like a long story with no end.
Before they suffer calluses in their ears, they just collectively choose to enjoy the music instead. Only when Lou Lan's throat had become too painful to speak did he stop screaming. With his hands and feet chained in the room even if he struggles a bit the sounds of clanging metals echoes in his own cell but sadly no one cares about him at all.
Past 10 in the evening finally someone from the Feng Clan arrived. Feng Hou sends some people to get Lou Lan and bring him over to the clan. After all, this person is still useful to be exchanged for Xue Hua with the ghost king.
After receiving a call from their superiors, the policemen had opened the cell to where Lou Lan allowed this group of men in ancient robes to pick up Lou Lan. But based on what they were seeing when they saw one of the men in robes place Lou Lan inside a sack not even treating him as a human being made those policemen relieved. After all, Lou Lan is a murderer who had no care for life. It is better to treat this kind of human trash as something not human.
Once the exchange had been completed, the Celestial Master and the policemen were rewarded for their hard work. Dumping Lou Lan in a sack to the car's back trunk like a thing, those men in robes had left the premises.
After long hours of driving, they finally arrived in the territory of the Feng Clan. They've carried Lou Lan kike a thing and presented him to the Young Lord of the Feng Clan.
"Young Lord Feng. The thing had been delivered as the Young Lord wishes."
"Good work. You can leave now," said Feng Hou who was sitting calmly on his single sofa looking at the wiggling large sack his subordinates had presented to him.
After his subordinates had left the living room, a few servants surrounded the sack with disdain in their eyes. They were already informed why this criminal called Lou Lan was brought over to the Feng Clan by their Young Lord's orders.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce Lou Lan had finally freed himself from the sack, he was welcomed by countless eyes looking down on him. Their eyes were full of disgust and mocking. He couldn't understand in the beginning but when he met Feng Hou's eyes he recognized him instantly. He was happy thinking that this man must have fallen for him at first sight and decided to save him from the police station.
He was devastated when he learned that his current state is because of this handsome person in front of him.
Feng Hou narrowed his eyes and averted them as if he could bear to see something so unclean.
"Even the small wisp of gold on you had disappeared. You had become completely nothing. It is only right that the evil being would like something like you. If I could successfully exchange you for Hua'er then everything is well," said Feng Hou.
Lou Lan was stunned by what he heard but he knew that this person wanted to use him in exchange for Xue Hua, it is possible that he is able to meet the Ghost King because of this man. Thinking of this he felt proud once again and stood up. He looked at Feng Hou with disdain.
"That's right. I am the original Ghost Bride. Xue Hua is only a substitute. The Ghost King would definitely take me in and throw out that trash Xue Hua...argh!!!"
As Lou Lan was speaking in his usual tone as the young master of the Lou Clan and talking badly about Xue Hua as he usually does but he never had expected that this Young Lord of the Feng Clan to lose his temper and suddenly grab his neck and strangle him. His feet even left the ground as he was lifted up with strength not possible to humans. The Feng Clan is the current strongest Celestial Clan in the Mortal realm.
Feng Hou who admired and was obsessed with Xue Hua the most hated him when his treasure was being treated as a speck of dirt by nobody like Lou Lan. He wanted to kill Lou Lan on the spot when he heard him diss Xue Hua in front of his face. If not because the servants in the room knew how important an item to be exchanged for Lou Lan is, they would never even care for his life at all. But unfortunately, this unlikeable man is their only bargain to take back the person the Young Lord wanted.
"Young Lord! Please calm your anger. This thing needs to be traded for the future Young Madam!"
"Only by giving this man to the Ghost King can the Young Lord bring home Xue Hua. Please think twice."
Feng Hou calmed down when he heard the words of his servants but he slapped the last one who spoke who called his self-proclaimed future wife's name without honorifics with his other free hand.
SLAP!
Feng Hou reprimanded his servant and said, "Hua'er is the future partner of I, the Heir of the Feng Can, who allowed you a mere servant to call the name of my future spouse!"
The servants had all lowered their heads and apologized to their young lord. Though the world knows that Young lord Feng is a talented shaman or cultivator, a prince-like figure to the eyes of those who admire him but to them his servants and subordinates, his obsessiveness is beyond the normal means. As long as he wanted it he would do every possible thing just to get what he wanted. Whether it was a thing or even a human being.
"We understand the Young Lord! We will keep those words in mind!" said all the servants.
He threw away Lou Lan like trash and walked out while issuing the next orders before he took his rest for the night.
"Clean that thing. Heal his wounds and make sure he is presentable for the Ghost King to like," said Feng Hou.
A servant checked on Lou Lan and noticed something, "Young Lord, this person is no longer a virgin."
"Tsk! Do something to cover it up! If that Ghost King used this as a reason not to exchange I would go crazy. I need to prepare to welcome my bride home. Everything about that man, you guys can handle it yourself!" said Feng Hou as he left after he finished following those commands.
He never turned around to look at his real destined pair according to the world plot; these two were the supposed protagonists Shou and Gong. Now the relationship between the destined pair is nothing more than a joke to the world and the heavenly laws of this star. Lou Lan, who was coughing due to the lack of oxygen from being strangled, glared at the back of the culprit who ignored his very existence.
Lou Lan murmured, "Jerk! Once I get the Ghost King as my husband I will ask him to kill you after Xue Hua. You can die together for all I care!"
The servants couldn't help but shiver upon hearing the words Lou Lan had said. If the Ghost King happened to end up fancying this crazy man, they wouldn't not only their Young Lord be in danger but all the whole Feng Clan/ After all that Ghost is said to be the strongest apparition that existed in this world and it was said that he was the person that had the opportunity to ascend in the Upper Realm first but decided to stay in the mortal realm for some unknown reason.
Lou Lan noticed their fear and took advantage of this. He started ordering them like they were his servants and in fear of being retaliated by Lou Lan as soon as he got the Ghost king on his side, these servants tried their best to coax him into forgiving them. Because of this, the servants had suffered greatly that night not knowing they would regret these actions when tomorrow comes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe news about Lou Lan being captured and taken by the Feng Clan was known by everyone connected to the world of cultivation. The Lou Clan's whose territory ended in ruins had no one to blame as they didn't know why the tribulation lightning had fallen in their territory but all of this disappointment was washed away when they heard the news about Lou Lan's successful capture.
Lou Ming reported to the Ancestor about this news, "Ancestor the Lord, it seems that the plan was going better than we thought. The Feng Clan had captured Lou Lan. They would definitely bring Lou Lan over to swap him with Xue Hua."
Ye Gui's crimson eyes glinted with unknown emotion and a smirk appeared on his unworldly appearance. He just finished bathing after successfully finishing his meditation. His body had finally reached a Godly State and the restrictions on his soul were finally removed. Now he would disappear even after being under the sunlight for too long. His physical body had reached a God Level and he could ascend to the upper realm of this world or leave the star itself to go to the other worlds.
But because Hei Anjing is here he chose to stay for a bit longer. Though he is not willing to merge with the other soul of Ye Xiajie, wanting to see his wife based on the newly emerging memories from the other dominant soul fragment like him was instilled in his very soul. He might not have any positive emotions as all of them are with Ye Xiajie that doesn't mean he didn't have some. His possessiveness and obsession towards their wife are the strongest among all soul fragments.
Ye Gui responded to Lou Ming, "The Feng's would definitely come over tomorrow to ask their Ancestor to accompany them to meet the Ghost King."
Lou Ming glances at the corpse of Feng Houye obviously killed after having his life energy sucked out from him by this evil being in front of him. Just seeing the state of the corpse being merely human skin almost made him puke on the spot but feared that he might be killed by his own Ancestor.
"Leave. I will do something about their ancestors for tomorrow," said Ye Gui and suddenly whispered, "That will also be the last time you can see me in this disgusting place."
"Did you say something, Ancestor?" asked Lou Ming as he didn't hear what the last sentence this being had whispered.
"I said... LEAVE!"
Lou Ming ran away after hearing the change of tone in the ancestor's voice, he knew that he asked too many times that angered this evil being. Once Lou Ming disappeared, Ye Gui left the basement and went to the highest place in the area where he could see the mountain when the Ancient Palace was located. From that distance, he could see Xue Hua laughing while eating dinner with Ye Xiajie and the others.
Ye Gui whispered, "I will see you soon, my little one~" then he once again disappeared into the darkness.
On the other hand in the Ancient Palace, Xue Hua who was talking with his elder brother, Xue Yan, his husband, Xie Mo, and the Fox God, Hu Yue suddenly looked out of the window and his eyes turned silver as if he heard something that made him happy but last only for a blink.
With a smile, Xie Mo acted as if he didn't notice that Hei Anjing woke up in a split second just now and asked, "What's wrong, Qizi?"
With golden irises Xue Hua smiled at the Ghost King, his smile is like those true ones which Hei Anjing shows when he is extremely happy.
"Nothing. I just thought that the moon is beautiful tonight."
Xue Hua resumed eating as if he hadn't done anything new, but the three who were within the same table were baffled. That smile was indeed a smile that only Hei Anjing showed sometimes. It was an elegant smile that seemed simple yet extremely serene and exquisite. As if a thousand-year-old glacier was bathed under the glowing sunlight.
