Chapter 431: 9.50 Second Blue Star - Capture
Chapter 431: 9.50 Second Blue Star - Capture
Back to the current timeline.
In the Lou Clan's Mansion
Underground Area...
Ye Gui had woken up from his sleep. His robes were disheveled as he got up, his open robes revealed his firm chest and abs. He looks so hot like those models with perfect body lines and shape. He had a dream of the past. That time when he had to leave the living realm after his soul was almost destroyed. But during his reincarnation, his soul had split.
Half of it took all his emotions with him while he took over all his memories. This is the real reason why Ye Xiajie had no memories of his past when he was reborn. It was also because of this that he had reincarnated in the bloodline of Ye Gui instead of being reborn as a God from the origin.
He couldn't find the link to his original body as Ye Xiajie because he wasn't born with a physical body. He couldn't even leave this low mid-tier world unless he ascended or merged with his other soul. But in this world, he couldn't merge with Ye Xiajie as since he possessed all the memories he knew what he and Hei Anjing were undergoing.
"Eternal Soul Destiny Marriage. They had completed the two sacred marriages of mateship and soul marriage. I need to be the one to complete the Dao Companionship to safely merge with the other soul. That means I can only accompany Jing'er at last world," said Ye Gui as he stood up from his bed and stepped on the half-dead old ancestor of the Feng Clan.
Feng Houye who had lost all his divine energy and his Godly body being refined, he is almost dying in the real sense. The pain from being stepped on wakes him up
"Ugh~ spare. Please spare me. Oh my Evil God~" said Feng Houye as he tried to touch Ye Gui's robes only for his hands so he stomped on mercilessly.
The sounds of bone cracking and Feng Houye's screams echo underground but Ye Gui looks down on him with an apathetic gaze.
"You have lost your divinity as this Lord has eaten everything of it. Don't worry you can die peacefully within the darkness," said Ye Gui as his crimson eyes glowed as the darkness around him spread.
"No... No... I'm still useful! Save me aaahhhh~" said Feng Houye.
Ye Gui orders the darkness to swallow every last bit of this legendary phoenix god, strengthening his capabilities and finally reaching the threshold to become a God. Outside his abode, the sky above the Lou Clan is covered in dark clouds. There are loud thunders and lightning. These are obviously the heavenly tribulations that deities need to undergo before they fully ascend.
But for Ye Gui who is formerly a Truth God, this tribulation has no authority to strike him. Only the mortal realm had suffered from it, especially the Lou Clan whose mansion and territory almost got completely ruined from that heavenly lightning falling from the sky.

Lou Lan, who visited Xue Yan's office without any permission, ended up having a sour conversation between siblings. They've never had any sibling relationship from the start and any lingering feelings as brothers had faded with every scheme Lou Lan had done against the Hua brothers. Now to Xue Yan, Lou Lan is nothing but a stranger that dares to harm him and his younger brother, Xue Hua.
During the attempts of Lou Lan to start a conversation, there would be Ou Ya interfering and with Xue Yang ignoring him on purpose he wasn't able to say what he wanted to ask his half elder brother. His plan of using their blood relationship to ask Xue Yan to save him would never happen.
Right now, Lou Lan even has to see Xue Yan happily talking to Xue Hua on the phone who was asking if he is going home for lunch. Minding no business to anything Lou Lan wanted to say. Seeing Xue Yan smile as he speaks on the phone made Lou Lan finally lose it.
He had been stressed since his wanted warrant was spread all over the city and both the ordinary police officers and people of the Celestial Society were looking all over just to capture him. Xue Yan was his last straw of hope for survival that's what he thought but this person right now is even ignoring him plus the words Ou Ya said about his past deeds.
Lou Lan suddenly yelled at his elder brother with a fierce gaze on him, his eyes bloodshot and full of anger.
"Do not ignore me. Xue Yan, I am also your younger brother. The police are looking for me and people from the Celestial Society are under the mission to capture me. It is your responsibility to take good care of me!" said Lou Lan.
He shouted at Xue Yan's face as his words seemed righteous yet forceful. Both Ou Ya and Xue Yan were rendered speechless with what they had heard. Moreover, it seems that Lou Lan wasn't even finished talking yet.
Lou Lan, "Big brother I am not going to ask you to hide me. I just want to ask you for a favor. I truly shouldn't have done that to you and Xue Hua. Since my big brother is alive, please forgive me. You would forgive me, right? As for Xue Hua, tell him he doesn't need to be the Ghost King's Substitute Bride anymore. I will marry the Ghost King as per contract. I was rightfully the original Ghost Bride after all. It is only right that I marry the Ghost King as he was my destined groom right?
Brother let me meet the Ghost King. Then I'm sure he would definitely choose me over the substitute bride and then you can bring home Xue Hua with you to live together as you had always been. Everything would return to their right places and things would be alright as before."
Xue Yan as much as he heard made his face darker while the disdain on Ou Ya's face cannot be hidden that he had opened gave Lou Lan a mocking laugh to his face.
"Heh~ what a thick face you have. I know you've been shameless since before but don't you think you are too late for this farce. The Ghost King had accepted Huahua as his real bride. They've been living the life of the newlyweds since they got married. The Ghost King didn't even know you. As for the contract with your clan, it had long been fulfilled after their marriage. They no longer have any connection to the Lou Clan," said Ou Ya.
Lou Lan screamed at Ou Ya and reached out his arms intending to grab his hair and pull it out. As a former pampered young master Lou Lan never knew how to fight with his own fist. He only knows how to order people around and even his skill in curses was good against veterans like Ou Ya and Xue Yan, Lou Lan is nothing at all.
"You!!! YOU bastard? You keep interfering! Don't you see that I am talking to my elder brother? Fuck off!" yelled Lou Lan. But before he could grab Ou Ya's hair he was kicked in the stomach making him churn in pain.
Argh! Lou Lan fell to the ground holding on to his stomach. His pain is real, Ou ya never intended to hold back with that kick. He knew how many times this useless jerk tried to harm his friends. He is not worthy of forgiving. The reason Ou Ya is forbidding the latter from approaching his friend is that he knows that Xue Yan is somewhat soft-hearted. He had been used by this jerk countless times in the past. In the pretense of being brothers by blood.
It was also this young man who had called Xue Yan that day to him and then got caught by the Lou Clan's elders and forced him to take the mission outside the city. If not for the Fox God, he and Xue Yan would die fighting that Fallen God.
Lou Lan glares at Ou Ya as he holds on to his stomach then he gives Xue Yan a pitiful gaze as if he was being bullied by Ou Ya. "Urg! B-Big brother helps me. It's so painful~"
"YOU!!" shouted Ou Ya about to kick him for the second time but was stopped by Xue Yan's voice coming from behind him.
Xue Yan said, "A'Ya, enough."
"But Yanyan~ you don't have to listen to him. This thing isn't even a good person. I've investigated him. He killed three elders of his clan. He is nothing but a murderer," said Ou Ya.
Lou Lan stopped pretending to be in pain and jumped up to stand and fight with Ou Ya.
"What do you know?! Don't talk as if you know everything. Those men deserve to die. They are pigs. Disgusting animals! They did those and that to me. Forcing me beneath them. It feels nauseating just thinking about it! What's worse is that Dad treated me as a useless thing. He allowed them to do that to me!" said Lou Lan. He started acting hysterically as he remembered the scene that one night. He felt extremely dirty as if he couldn't wash it off no matter how many times.
"I killed them. Yes, so what!? Those pig bastards deserve to die! Not only them, but even Xue Hua must also end up like that. He stole everything that is mine. He stole my fated groom. He takes that man's attention without doing anything. He is just a vixen that bewitched others to like him. That rich life is supposed to be mine. Who is he to take it from me!?" said Lou Lan.
Ou Ya was stunned as he couldn't understand the reason for this person's sudden outburst. He started screaming a few things he couldn't understand but just based on his words it seems that Lou Lan was raped by those three elders he just killed.
"Eh? Yanyan, what is happening? Is he for real?" asked Ou Ya.
Xue Yan answered, "Yes. But those elders didn't do it for just lust and pleasure. His physique is that of a furnace. Because of his pure water nature physique, his characteristics are that he could help anyone who sleeps with him to increase their strength. He is a human furnace as long as he is alive he is as useful as a charging battery."
The situation of Lou Lan was explained by Xue Yan but as if talking about a stranger his tone is desolate and cold as if Lou Lan wasn't his younger brother at all. Even Lou Lan was dumbfounded by Xue Yan's reaction. Just based on his voice he could see that this person no longer cares about him at all.
Lou Lan reluctantly calls, "B-Big Brother..."
"You have no right to call me as such. The moment you tried to kill me, Ou Ya and Hua'er I've lost all feeling of brotherhood to you. To me, you are no different from any other scums and criminals that had gone against the law. You should have never come to me," said Xue Yan.
Lou Lan asked, "What do you mean?"
But Xue Yan ignored him and looked at Ou Ya, "A'Ya, open the door." he said.
Ou Ya followed as he said and opened the door. Once he did, numerous policemen had gathered outside the office and surrounded the building. The police Ou Ya had called before had finally arrived.
Police said, "We heard that the wanted murderer who killed three men is here. You are the one who made that call right?"
"Yes. He is there. He also trespassed our office without permission. Have you asked a Celestial Master for help?" said Ou Ya.
"Yes, he heard he is a caster of curse and politely invited a Celestial Master who is good at capturing this type of cultivator. Please make way for us."
Ou Ya stepped back to the side and let the polite capture, Lou Lan. Lou Lan was shocked to see the police and Celestial Society working together just to capture Lou Lan alive.
Stunned Lou Lan, "How could you call the police!? I'm your brother!"
"I only have one younger brother and that's only Hua'er," said Xue Yan.
Stunned Lou Lan was captured by the police thanks to this opportunity. He started struggling when he felt his hands were chained and a talisman was pasted on his chest to see his movements.
"You cannot do this to me! I didn't do anything wrong! They were the ones at fault. They shouldn't have done that. I am innocent. This is not fair. Xue Hua had taken everything from me. I still have to take it back. I am the real Ghost Bride!" exclaimed Lou Lan while being pulled away by the policemen.
They ignored Lou Lan's words as they've already received information that this child had to lose his mind and go crazy. It would be normal for him to say nonsensical things like the Ghost Bride and all. Once Lou Lan was taken away only Xue Yan and Ou Ya remained in the office. They sat back in their seats and rested. Ou Ya is especially tired after working all morning in the court and verbally fighting with Lou Lan.
Ou Ya said, "Sigh~ the brat is finally gone."
"Next time just ignore him," said Xue Yan.
"You think he could escape from the police?"
"His physique is still useful. Of course, some would attempt to save him and make the human furnace theirs. His existence is useful for all Han cultivators after all." said Xue Yan.
Ou Ya said, "His life is miserable. It is karma."
"Indeed. Oh yes, about you and Lou Ye's plan to visit, Hua'er agrees to it. Come over during weekends when he doesn't have classes. His husband had also agreed to it," Xue Yan.
Ou Ya asked, "What kind of gift should we bring?"
"You can bring human food for Hua'er as for his other half there is no need. He will like anything his wife likes," answered Xue Yan.
"They have a good relationship."
"They indeed have. Enough to make everyone envious."
