Chapter 467: Fifth World: Tough Choices

Wen Qinxi felt a warm comforting feeling spread throughout his meridians taking the pain away. Feeling like a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders he opened his eyes and saw Qie Ranzhe looking down at him with a fretting gaze. He could hear Miyu Ren saying something outside the barrier but he didn't pay attention to him with his gaze locked on Qie Ranzhe.

The two looked at each other for a long time creating a scene oozing of sweet fluffy feelings that closely resembled cotton candy. "Ran-ge," he called out with their gazes still locked in place.

"Mn," replied Qie Ranzhe with his finger subtly rubbing Zhao Zhi's shoulder displaying his affection for his lover.

"Why are you staring at me?"

System:?

System: Facepalming.

It strongly believed that Wen Qinxi's IQ took a hit when he got struck by that explosion. Otherwise, why would he even ask such a question when he is ogling at Qie Ranzhe too? How vexing.

"You aren't permitted to leave me," he said with a sullen look on his face that made one think he was serious.

Wen Qinxi couldn't help but chuckle while saying, "Aren't permitted ha! Good one," but judging from Qie Ranzhe's eyes that had darkened further he stopped laughing and asked, "Wait. What? Are you serious?"

Of course, he is serious and he would appreciate it if his lover took it seriously. He was about to emphasize how serious he was when Miyu Ren suddenly spoke again.

The demon king was angered by these two who were living in their own little world treating him like air. He was a fierce demon, okay? Not some random passerby in a couple's selfie.

"Tick tock sect leader Qie! I don't have all fucking day!....." he said but he was interrupted by a loud voice calling to him. He swiftly turned around only to be met by the queen and a horde of mermen and mermaids armed for battle. This he found hilarious as he let out arrogant laughter.

The reason he found it funny was that these insignificant things actually believed they could defeat him. They weren't anywhere close to being his opponent but one can't blame them for trying.

"Think about what I said. You can only pick one," he said before dragging along Qie Anzhie to fight. The man could barely stand up after being beaten by Qie Ranzhe and his master's devastating hit was the last nail in the coffin.

His face was battered and bruised but that wasn't the worst of it. His already weak dantian took a great hit causing unbearable pain to spread to his limbs. Miyu Ren noticed and unsheathed Qie Anzhie's sword before cutting across his palm. He made Qie Anzhie drink his blood before letting him go.

"Don't disappoint me again," he said as multiple dark shadowy threads spread from his body. Without any negotiations, he sent these shadows forth attacking the so-called merman army that dared challenge him.

The dark shadows were especially ruthless striking with a great enough force to kill a mere mortal with one fatal strike. Qie Ranzhe couldn't watch anymore so he said, "I have to go," to Zhao Zhi but he was extremely reluctant. The only problem was that if he didn't go and anything happened to his mother in law he would lose brownie points from his sweetheart.

Wen Qinxi didn't keep him but couldn't hold back the worry in his eyes. He was afraid of Qie Ranzhe getting hurt but he still hadn't fully recovered. So he could only watch as his lover walked out of the safety of the barrier.

The anger pent up in sect leader Qie's heart required an outlet and that outlet was none other than Miyu Ren. Black calamity sent a vicious attack towards Qie Anzhie who had just recovered while the sect leader himself sent an intense fireball towards Miyu Ren grasping his attention.

A normal person would feel overwhelmed being attacked from multiple angles but Miyu Ren wasn't normal. Even the word abnormal wasn't a suitable description of him. He was more like a crazy maniac that doesn't belong in this world. In fact, he was having fun. This was the most fun he had had in his thousand years of living.

He stretched out his hand and fired spiky shadows towards Qie Ranzhe. But Qie Ranzhe sent the flaming ring in his hand towards him before dodging the incoming spikes. Miyu Ren laughed observing the dark expression on Qie Ranzhe's face.

Dodging with ease he attacked again when he sensed something malicious coming from his left side. Qie Ranzhe had sent the second ring towards him in a roundabout route that he didn't immediately notice.

Miyu Ren furrowed his brow as he moved out of the way but not fast enough to prevent his face from getting slashed.

A thin laceration appeared on his pale cheek as the ring flew past him. Livid he struck Qie Ranzhe with a dark shadow sending him out of the realm in an instant. Wen Qinxi who had been watching the show stood up with great difficulty his expression obviously panicked.

With his hand on his abdomen, he yelled at Miyu Ren in anger but the demon King was the least bit fazed. "Go and restrain him," he said to Qie Anzhie referring to Qie Ranzhe he had just kicked out of the merman kingdom.

"I have some business to take care of," he said with his sinister gaze turning to Zhao Zhi.

Qie Anzhie didn't complain, vanishing without a trace while Miyu Ren grabbed the queen by her hair. The guards tried to protect her but it was a futile attempt. The shadowy threads impaled the mermen creating a bloody scene.

He slowly walked over with the queen struggling to free herself from his hold. She knew what he wanted. He was about to use her as leverage to draw out her son from the barrier but she didn't want to be the reason for her son's downfall.

"I wouldn't mind dragging you out of there but I don't have the time to waste so how about you come out on your own?..... Your Ran-ge is such a talented man who can build a barrier that even I would have a hard time breaking but..... unfortunately it's not blackmail proof," he said gripping the queen's hair even tighter.

The queen didn't make a sound with a determined gaze on her son. She shook her head telling him not to come out but how could Wen Qinxi sit there idly and watch her die. Miyu Ren pulled her head back extending her long and graceful neck while eyeing Zhao Zhi with a bloodthirsty gaze.

He placed a dagger on her neck drawing blood as he threatened, "You or her. Take a pick..... and be fast about it cause I am getting rather bored."
