Chapter 627: 12.29 Unknown Star – Modern ABO World: Sleeping Ye Xiajie
Ye Yuyan in that unknown space gathered as many memories that he owns and some that he doesn’t. Even some scenes that show the future and involve the Red Poppy Syndicate were collected by him. Some of the mirror fragments were obviously made by the God who called himself Hei Anjing and indirectly helped them for the future where they will once again have to clash with them.
With the special skill, Telepathy, bestowed to them by Hei Anjing. Communication through their thoughts would be a much easier way of exchanging information. Plus, in this life, they are on the same side and both know what is happening in reality. Unlike in their previous world where only Hei Yuhua knows the truth and Ye Yuyan was hidden in the dark. At that time, Ye Yuyan was only an ordinary police officer. If he was working as a hidden agent instead, the government would have allowed Hei Yuhua to ask for his help then all those misunderstandings wouldn’t have happened at all.
While Ye Yuyan was busy on his own somewhere within his soul, Hei Anjing had found his husband’s sleeping soul. System Yue had placed Milord’s soul at the deepest and safest part of Ye Yuyan’s soul. Somewhere even hard for Ye Yuyan to come into. Within the subconsciousness of Ye Yuyan, Hei Anjing finally found Ye Xiajie.
Ye Xiajie had his eyes closed within that dark area of subconsciousness. No one knew how System Yue placed a bed in this place where he had allowed Lord God Ye to continue sleeping. Hei Anjing reached out a hand to touch his beloved’s soul and noticed that the merged soul fragments within Ye Xiajie’s soul were affected when they suddenly had fallen into this world.
Helplessly, Hei Anjing mumbled, “You shouldn’t have blocked the impact of our fall alone. You’ve almost fragmented your soul the second time. You fool.”
He caresses Ye Xiajie’s cheek with his hands and sits at the edge of the bed. Then Hei Anjing started checking his husband’s current state and saw his soul in chaos due to the space distortion they entered without any preparation. Ye Xiajie’s compatibility with space elements is almost nonexistent. So when he protected Hei Anjing when they first fell into this world his soul had no protection at all causing the current chaotic state of his soul. This situation can be considered a soul injury.
Hei Anjing mumbles, “The world tree that could heal souls I have in my Dimensional space was left behind at the Netherworld. I must build a qi gathering formation with him at the center. So the world qi would help in stabilizing his soul. Moreover, I remembered the Willow Tree God before giving me a heavenly wisteria tree sprout. It would help the energy pulled in the formation purified and enhanced.”
.....
Hei Anjing looked around his space for the materials needed to create the formation and started working on it. It took a few hours for him to make such a small yet detailed qi gathering formation around his husband. He also placed the wisteria tree sprout near his husband’s bed.
He had to temporarily activate his domain to bless the formation and create a space where he could temporarily materialize his soul. He needs to use his blood essence and feeds it to the wisteria tree sprout to allow it to grow faster than normal with two drops of blood essence on the tree sprout and under the naked eye of Hei Anjing the sprouting tree into a magnificent tree with fresh, beautiful and blooming wisteria flowers.
The whitish purple flowers of the wisteria tree were in full bloom. With the support of his Winter domain, a few ice crystals were made to enhance the capabilities of this Heavenly Flower Tree. Most Heavenly Wisteria trees grow in extremely cold places, especially beside ice crystals which helps them keep their flowers blooming and their fragrance purifies the air and qi within a certain radius.
Once Hei Anjing activated the formation, the Heavenly Wisteria Tree started swaying his branches lightly causing the scent of flowers to get stronger and the qi gathered by the array much more refined and purified. This enhanced world energy would enter his husband’s soul and helps him not only soothe his soul but also repair it. After all, except for his soul core, Ye Xiajie’s soul is already almost complete.
Hei Anjing’s lips curled into a smile seeing Ye Xiajie’s chaotic soul slowly calm down and at the same time started healing his soul injuries.
“With this, the formation should be enough to help you collect the world’s energy faster so your soul could get stronger as it heals,” murmured Hei Anjing as he stood up from his squatting position as he planted the tree.
But a strong feeling of dizziness and nausea hits his whole being. He only temporarily materialized to give away his blood essence to make the sprout grow but how precious blood essence is. It is blood taken directly from his heart and the energy it possesses is as strong as what a cultivator dantian would possess. Giving away such precious blood would also cause one’s cultivation to degrade.
Hei Anjing was weakened to the point he only had the strength of a High god in the last world. Giving away two drops of blood essence his current cultivation had dropped to one that he only possessed strength as a Demigod. But he is a true born god so even if his soul is much stronger than normal ascended Gods. Sadly, this is only a soul fragment of his. Though he had the memories his real cultivation had also split accordingly when his soul had fragmented.
To remove the effects of losing blood essences, he materialized and returned to his soul form. But now he is more translucent than his solid soul form before. He is almost transparent. Looking at his see-through hands, Hei Anjing couldn’t help but sigh.
He doesn’t mind at all. He is running out of time already. Plus, after this unknown star, there is only one world left to be completed before the second trial ends. Afterward, his husband would completely revive and all his sacrifices would not be wasted as the God of Void and Netherworld would finally return.
Hei Anjing approached the bed once again but this time he lowered his head and allowed his lips to touch Ye Xiajie’s lips. He kissed him with purest love and affection.
Then he whispered with a small yet exquisite smile on his lips. “I’ll wait for you to wake up, my love,” said Hei Anjing before disappearing from that subconsciousness and looking for the original owner of the body they are in.
He found Ye Yuyan walking around the memory bank System Yue created. This is the location where he had sealed the memories of Ye Yuyan. Of course, he didn’t forget to fill in some parts that would clear up all the misconceptions from their previous life.
Now Ye Yuyan knew that behind each coincidence from his past life had a meaning into it and most of it had something to do with his destined mate, Hei Yuhua. Hei Anjing waited until Ye Yuyan gathered all the memories scattered in the white space. He didn’t even feel tired in this place and not only his energy but his speed and strength were enhanced in this weird white world.
Just as he finished collecting all his memories, Ye Yuyan looked around thinking about how he should get out of this white space no matter how he thought of a way. Just when he was about to give up, he felt a weight on his shoulder and turned around to see this otherworldly man floating like a ghost.
Ye Yuyan even noticed his figure was a bit translucent but chose not to ask when he saw the mischievous yet fake smile on his face. His instincts were warning him how dangerous this being in front of him is.
“You’re... here. Are we going back to reality?” asked Ye Yuyan. “You’ve seen your husband?”
“Yes, he is still sleeping as expected. Sigh~ that sleepyhead. Anyway~ I think you’ve seen and got what you wanted in this place. How are you going to act around Yuhua?” asked Hei Anjing.
Ye Yuyan’s eyes showed different emotions than before he entered this white space. Before he got back his memories, his eyes were filled with urgency yet hesitation and desire to know the truth. In short, he only hesitated when he saw Hei Yuhua’s reaction upon hearing Hei Anjing could return Ye Yuyan’s full memories of that timeline but deep inside Ye Yuyan, he didn’t want to be the only person in the group that was left out and didn’t know what is really happening.
So when he saw a system appearing beside Hei Yuhua, he knew that this person is like him. One that regressed from the future. But unlike him, Hei Yuhua has his full memories while on the other hand, he doesn’t. Because of this, Ye Yuyan felt left out but didn’t openly complain or ask questions when he saw the fear hidden within Hei Yuhua’s eyes.
Ye Yuyan smiled helplessly when he heard Hei Anjing’s question and answered, “Same as always. I will continue to show him my love and care. I would protect him no matter the situation and support him and anything he wanted. If he doesn’t want me to know our past then I will act as if I know nothing. Everything is for him, he has already sacrificed enough and now it is my turn to do so. As the only person in this world worthy of goodness and happiness, I wanted it to be my Yu’er.”
Hei Anjing hummed when he heard Ye Yuyan’s reply.
Humming~
“Well~ that is also a choice but this Lord doesn’t think it was the right choice. Have you forgotten the cause of all misunderstandings in your previous life? Though at that time the world plot was at work, don’t you think the plot would have longed to be destroyed as long as both of you had honestly expressed your feelings for each other. Opening your heart and soul to the other is hard but don’t you think it is a waste of time to hesitate.
Because you had hesitated once, your situation becomes awkward and distant. Despite loving each other, because of distrust, everything was destroyed. In any world, unless he reaches out to you all to get what you want, you would never get a chance. Be courageous, human. Second chances only happen once.” preached Hei Anjing.
Ye Yuyan understood his words but retorted, “What if you did everything you wanted and still failed to get it?”
“With me here, would you still fail? Fate only listens to those who don’t give up no matter what consequences or hardship they’ve undergone. Yes, like how Hei Yuhua didn’t wish to give up life even after his heart was shot by the man he loves the most. Yuhua is too good for you~” said Hei Anjing. “Your daughter is so adorable as well. Like my son, Xiajing.”
Ye Yuyan feels that the God in front of him is too unpredictable and temperamental. He would be smiling at first and angry at second then serious next. It is very hard to read this kind of man. But he had a feeling that the other god in him must be amazing as well. If not, how could he marry such a scary person?
Hei Anjing’s playful smile faded and narrowed his eyes at Ye Yuyan.
“I have a feeling that you are talking trash about me right now,” complained Hei Anjing.
Ye Yuyan said, “I did not. I was thinking of how I should approach Yu’er after I woke up.”
Hmp!
“It’s simple. Just be honest and tell him everything. Open up your heart and trust him wholeheartedly. You should be able to do so as long as you love him with your everything like how you had made that vow to the heavens.” said Hei Anjing.
Thinking of the vow he made when he still doesn’t have his memories yet already promised himself to the other Ye Yuyan couldn’t help but smile. At that time, he could recall Hei Yuhua’s cute shocked little face. He is such an innocent bun when it comes to showing his feelings. He even saw his lips instinctively curling into a smile. It shows how much he liked the vow he had made.
Ye Yuyan said, “Indeed, I should just be honest with everything.”
Unknown to him Hei Anjing’s thoughts are, ‘Good. Now there is a third henpecked husband in the making after my love and the warden of A’Ming.’
