Chapter 814 - 814 14.90 Last Violet Star - The King of Devils
814 14.90 Last Violet Star – The King of Devils
The surroundings had become far too silent and stressful. Chun Hongyun-Jun looks at Mo Bing Jingling-Jun with an expressionless face while maintaining a knowing smile. While waiting for one to respond, the two exchanged intense looks. Most likely, Xia Jieye is waiting for his wife to respond.
But regrettably, he still didn’t get the response he was hoping for from his wife.
“You wouldn’t remember everything you think you had forgotten and understand all of the things that confused you until your soul core and soul fragments had fully merged,” Hei Anjing said. “I cannot tell you a single thing. I made a vow not to tell you anything. You cannot forcefully pry my mouth open. Because breaking my vow means I would have to betray you.”
Xia Jieye remained mute while listening to his wife’s statements. Though he doesn’t get why telling him about that period of the past that he couldn’t even recall would be regarded as a betrayal to him.
Hei Anjing wields his death scythe and swipes it toward the frozen Devil Tanlan. It pa.s.sed through the frozen figure yet there weren’t any traces of cut left behind when the blade pa.s.sed through. Instead, a soul was hooked out of the body whose form is that of a handsome devil.
[AH! Who the h.e.l.l pulled me out of my vessel!?] cussed Devil Tanlan but instantly shut up when he saw Chun Hongyun-Jun’s face which was completely different from the one before. Even his atmosphere and behavior had entirely transformed as if a completely other person were in front of him. Naturally, he saw the man’s resemblance to the demon king right away. Nevertheless, he delayed calling for this individual since he was aware that there were humans around.
Devil Tanlan’s clone was forcefully taken out of the fifth prince’s body. The Death Scythe of Mo Bing Jingling-Jun had captured him and a few black chains were wrapped around his figure even in the form of a soul, these black chains were extremely useful.
The Devil had a human-like appearance. Long, pointed ears, horns, and red eyes are characteristics that most members of the Devil Race are born with, including Devil Tanlan. Just that Devil Tanlan’s current condition was considerably degraded as a result of being confined inside an ice cage made from Eternal Ice.
Anyone from the Devil Race has a weakness toward the ice. For Tanlan, being confined in an ice cage was a type of agony that hurt his spirit as well as being a form of captivity.
.....
Hei Anjing spoke, “My love, I’ve brought him out of his vessel for you. You can now ask him anything you wanted. I will need to contact the Underworld and ask if the Fifth Prince’s soul still hasn’t entered reincarnation.”
“Normally, when a human signs with someone from the Devil Race they promise to give their souls to them. But for some reason, the fifth prince had escaped such faith. I wonder what happens?~”
Xia Jieye casts a downward glance at the trembling demon who knelt in front of them. Chun Hongyun-Jun scared Devil Tanlan for an unidentified cause.
Yanking the chain connected to Devil Tanlan’s neck, Xia Jieye says, “You aren’t mute right? Speak. We can’t know what happened to the original owner of that body.”
[The original soul of that body I wasn’t able to eat because it killed itself before when I was sleeping. Literally, devils would sleep inside the vessel after fulfilling their wishes until the end when they got everything they wanted. Even I didn’t expect that the kid would drink poison just to kill himself and give a dead body instead!!] said Devil Tanlan.
Hei Anjing spoke, “Killing yourself. Is the same as killing someone so... He must be doing labor in the underworld as punishment. Well since I already know where he is it would be easier to summon him here.”
Mo Bing Jingling-Jun grabbed a scroll of golden-colored paper out of his inventory when it suddenly materialized. He began to jot down a few sentences describing his needs and desires. then request that his husband burn the letter afterward.
Hei Anjing spoke, “My love, please burn it with a normal flame.”
Un! Xia Jieye followed his instructions and burned the paper scroll using a standard red flame.
Everyone watches as the paper burns up and vanishes entirely. Emperor Hong and Devil Tanlan were perplexed by the spectacle and had no idea what was going on.
“Well, it would take a while for them to read the letter, but since I scribbled my name on it, they would surely read it as soon as we saw it. So for now, let’s go ahead and wait. Your Majesty, I’m a little fatigued. May I rest for a little bit?” said Mo Bing Jingling-Jun.
Emperor Hong said, “Y-yes, of course! I will set up a courtyard for the Venerable Lord and Chun Hongyun-Jun.”
Smiling. “No need to go overboard, just make sure the bed is big enough to accommodate two people,” advises Hei Anjing.
Emperor Hong responded, “Eh? Ah! I will comply with your request, Venerable Lord Hei.”
“Let’s wait till then. Go now, we still need to question this demon. My subordinates would come tonight bringing your son’s soul,” said Hei Anjing with a grin, but his att.i.tude right now gives the impression that the Emperor is in the way and he is requesting him to go.
The Human Emperor understood a secret meaning and was highly intelligent. He said everyone farewells before departing.
Emperor Hong replied, “Please join us for supper tonight. This humble one would prepare everything for the Venerable Lord. I will have someone organize everything for the Lord.”
Xia Jieye spoke, “Un! Go and leave now.”
“Yes!”
In the face of Xia Jieye’s envious look, the Emperor turned and left. He was ordered to leave right away after concluding his speech because Chun Hongyun-Jun found that he had been speaking with Hei Anjing for a little bit too long. Hei Anjing laughed and hugged his lover when the human monarch left.
Hei Anjing spoke, “He is gone now~ why are you still in a bad mood, A’Xia~”
“He keeps talking to you. So annoying and he doesn’t know his standing at all,” said Xia Jieye.
“Okay, my love. Enough of getting jealous. What do you plan to do with this Devil?” asked Hei Anjing.
Xia Jieye answered, “Every clone of the devil race, especially the high-ranking ones, was personally created by the King of Devils. He left a wisp of his soul and mixed it with theirs, and their own ears and eyes to know what is happening in the mortal realm.”
“Oh~ he can do that? What if there are too many high-ranking devils would he use up his soul by then?” said Hei Anjing.
Chun Hongyun-Jun responded, “No. He only used it on seven devils. The seven deadly sins which are considered the seven strongest devils of their race. They were given a certain t.i.tle for each of their own standings.”
“I see... No wonder that devil I killed in Death Valley introduced himself as the Devil that rules l.u.s.t, Qingyun. Then what kind of devil is this one?” asked Hei Anjing.
Xia Jieye kicked Devil Tanlan ruthlessly and said, “Introduce who you are. At least you are able to say your name before you die.”
Flinched!
[I am a named Devil called Tanlan. The devil which rules Greed. Your Highness, please don’t kill me! I will prove that I will be more useful than the human beside you! I will follow all your orders! Please spare me!!!]
Hahahaha~
While giving his partner a hug, Hei Anjing began to chuckle. As he saw Tanlan, a demon, beseech his husband while mocking him, he found it amusing. He didn’t realize that using those words to describe his husband would just make him angrier.
Annoyed Devil Tanlan yells, [What are you laughing at mortal!? Let go of the Prince. He isn’t supposed to be touched by someone as lowly as you! Stay away from his highness!!!]
Entertained, Hei Anjing felt like teasing the devil before his eyes and said, “Should I move away from him? Okay, ~ let’s say I follow your words~”
Mo Bing Jingling-Jun pushed his spouse back as he removed his arm from around Xia Jieye and prepared to leave. However, Xia Jieye grabbed hold of his hands before he could even attempt to push him away and forced him to embrace his neck instead. Additionally, the arms around his waist tightened and even lifted him in his arm, making him appear to be weightless.
Xia Jieye says, “Don’t let go. You are not allowed to leave!”
Acting coquettish, “Wuwu~ but I didn’t want to leave you. It was this devil who made me do it~,” said Hei Anjing with fake tears in the corner of his eyes. He is playing around once again.
Of course, Xia Jieye knows and didn’t break the fun of his wife. He flirted back at him ignoring the stunned expression on Devil Tanlan’s face.
Dumbfounded Devil Tanlan says, [Y-Your Highness!? How can you love a mortal? They can only be considered food to us devils. Would you want to marry a food??!]
Pfft! When Hei Anjing heard what Devil Tanlan had said, he was unable to contain his laughter. The fact that the devil thought of him as the food didn’t bother him. If one checks on him after he hid his divinity, he is now no different from other people. So, he understands why he is being treated as a mortal by Devil Tanlan.
Devil Tanlan bellows at Hei Anjing, [What the h.e.l.l are you laughing for you stupid human? I told you to let go of his highness.]?????ℯ??????. c?m
“I don’t want to~ A’Xia is my husband. We will be together forever and ever~” said Hei Anjing.
[You fuc—!!!!!]
Chun Hongyun-Jun suddenly gripped the Devil’s lips with a stern expression on his face. Under Xia Jieye’s piercing glare, he tenses himself from head to toe. Devil Tanlan sees that Xia Jieye’s present expression is extremely similar to the King of Devils’ initial att.i.tude of indifference. It was the day the King created him and his other six siblings.
Perfect looks, a menacing air, apathy toward everything, and those piercing, deep-red eyes that gaze down upon everything in this world are all characteristics of this person. It was strikingly comparable. There were some similarities between this man who goes by the name Chun Hongyun-Jun and the King of Devils. Their shared look alone reveals their familial ties.
Xia Jieye spoke, “I know you are looking and listening in there, Old Man. Don’t you think these devils you’ve created are too ill-mannered? He even dares to shout at this Lord’s wife!”
Devil Tanlan first struggled to comprehend what the prince was saying. However, he had the strange impression that the Prince was speaking to someone other than himself. He gives him no attention at all and acts as if he doesn’t even exist. Devil Tanlan suddenly felt drowsy, and when he slept out, another soul seized control of his body.
Chun Hongyun-Jun, who was holding his wife, was pushed aside by a powerful force as they turned to stare at Devil Tanlan, whose mood had entirely altered. From a submissive and timid core to a haughty and distant exterior. They were obviously not the same beings from before.
[Is this the world of the Mortals? I realize that this soul could only or at least survive a short time so I don’t actually want to waste the tools I made to break down the barrier enclosing this land and rarely take over their souls. But... Son, I’ve been searching everywhere for you.]
[I knew your mother had you in her body when the Immortals kidnapped and removed her from me. What surprised me was that those cretins from the Heavenly Domain would kill her after abducting her. This old man genuinely desired to destroy that Immortal Land. But initially, I wanted to search this land for your mother. Why don’t you a.s.sist your father, son?]
Despite the King of Devils’ comments, Xia Jieye does not seem to be affected. He talked pa.s.sionately as if he wished to convey his love for his son and longing for his wife, who was gone.
Even his mild comments were intended to sway Chun Hongyun-Jun.
Unfortunately, Yun Xiajie is no longer simply Yun Xiajie, the Devil King’s son, but is now also known as Xia Jieye, who solely considers his wife to be the most significant person in the entire universe.
Therefore, the gentle approach of the King of the Devil was never intended to be useful to Xia Jieye.
Xia Jieye spoke with a countenance wrapped in frost and an uncaring, frigid look.
“Old Man, for a millennia demon your acting is awful. Are you that helpless you’re begging this son of yours for a.s.sistance? You didn’t even know I existed until ten years ago. Your glib mouth is ineffective against me.”
