Chapter 755

755 14.31 Last Violet Star – Black Barrier

Back in reality.

Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang were having a conversation just outside the courtyard where Chun Hongyun-Jun resides. They were so preoccupied with their conversation that they didn’t even notice Yun Xiajie coming out of the house holding his sword with him.

This is the first time Yun Xiajie saw Zhi Yue but just based on his clothing which is similar to what Zhi Yang wears, he realized that this young man must be someone Zhi Yang knows.

Yun Xiajie spoke, “Zhi Yang, who are you talking to?”

Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang paid respect to Yun Xiajie. Regardless of whether this man is amnesiac or not he is still the lord they serve and their creator.

“Greetings to Lord Ye!” said Zhi Yue.

A bit confused, Yun Xiajie said, “I am not surnamed Ye.”

Zhi Yang glanced helplessly at his other half and his eyes were telling him he greeted him wrong. Upon noticing his other half’s movement Zhi Yue realized that he had a slip of a tongue and immediately corrected himself.

“Pardon. I remembered it wrong. Greetings to Lord Yun. I am surnamed Zhi and named Yue. Zhi Yang’s alter ego.”

.....

A bit of startled emotion flashed within those crimson eyes of Chun Hongyun-Jun.

“You are Zhi Yue? Then he...!”

“If Lord Yun is asking for Lord Hei, the lord is indeed next door. Thanks to Lord Yun’s playing of the guqin, Lord Hei had finally fallen asleep. I came back to check who was playing the guqin and asked if I could hire a person to play it for Lord Hei. But... If it’s Lord Yun then I can only plead for your help.” said Zhi Yue.

Yun Xiajie asked when he noticed that Zhi Yue had an obvious worry on his face when Hei Anjing’s sleeping habits had been mentioned.

“You mean he can’t sleep at night?” asked Yun Xiajie worriedly.

Zhi Yue honestly replied, “Yes. Lord Hei hasn’t slept normally ever since he descended. Actually, not only in this realm, Lord Hei hardly got a nice sleep even in the Upper Realm ever since he had come out from there.”

“Moreover, lately he had been suffering from random headaches. It wasn’t an ordinary headache, Lord Hei would sometimes faint in pain. Actually, that itself might be a bit useful. At least when he got a terrifying headache, he could at least take a forced nap for a short moment.”

Chun Hongyun-Jun felt anxious about this information about his beloved. Zhi Yang had already informed him that his alter ego had been staying by Jing’er’s side as his subordinate. Now that he finally met Zhi Yue in his subordinate’s words, he is enlightened about the current state of his beloved.

Yun Xiajie asked, “What is happening with him? Is he suffering from illness or something?”

“My Lord, His Highness, King Wuan is immortal. He would never suffer from any illness mortals do. It might be because he had descended with his real vessel and the heavenly laws are preventing his divinity from affecting the land of mortals,” said Zhi Yang.

“This servant, Zhi Yue, thought so as well. After being stripped of his divinity, Lord Hei’s body is the same as that of a mortal. He can feel pain, feel hunger, and fatigue. It is still unaffected by diseases but the human body’s common reactions have been retained.”

“Actually, I came to show gratitude to the one who played the guqin tonight. It greatly helped Lord Hei to fall asleep and was planning to invite that person for a job but... Even this Zhi Yue wouldn’t expect that it was Lord Yun who was playing the guqin. So this servant can only beg Chun Hongyun-Jun to please help Lord Hei to sleep at night. Every once in a while would do.”

While lowering his head in front of Yun Xiajie, Yun Xiajie hesitated for a moment and didn’t respond right away. He knew that his beliefs had no memories of his past life as Bai Wuan and he also knows how detached he is from strangers he is not interested in.

Yun Xiajie asked, “I do not mind but... would he agree for me to come over every night to play a music piece for him. He doesn’t even remember me right now.”

“As for that problem Chun Hongyun-Jun doesn’t have to worry. This humble one does not have an exact verdict but... this morning Lord Hei seemed to slightly recognize Sect Leader Bai. Though I do not know their original relationship, Lord Hei had indeed accepted Sect Master Bai and allowed him to call him brother,” explained Zhi Yue.

The great elder of the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect was stunned by what he heard from Zhi Yue. After being informed by Zhi Yang that his beloved had resurrected, he was extremely joyous in his heart. But before he could even celebrate his other half’s revival, he was slapped by the fact that their memories before had been sealed by the father of his beloved.

He was devastated learning that his other half had no recollection of their love and childhood, this includes their affection for each other and the past that made up their relationship as two lovers who made an oath to become future Dao Companions. Even this promise of eternity had been forgotten, at first, Chun Hongyun-Jun didn’t know what he should do or how he should react but when he heard from Zhi Yang that his belief had once again descended from the Upper Realm, his yearning and obsession to be with him had overwhelmed all other emotions in himself.

So the news that his Jing’er had remembered a bit of kinship with Sect Master Bai gave him the hope that his beloved would once again regain his memories of the past and wholly remembered who he is and recognized their love. Right now his heart was delighted to the point of relief and happiness.

Yun Xiajie asked, “Is this real? What you have said about Jing’er recognizing Bai Ying is true?”

“Lord Hei called Sect Master Bai ‘Little Grumpy’ and the latter acted quite annoyed about it,” answered Zhi Yue.

Yun Xiajie instantly believes Zhi Yue’s words about his Jing’er slightly recognizing Bai Qiyin Little Grumpy as his beloved’s exclusive pet name for his junior brother. He had been calling Bai Qiyin by this nickname since childhood and only his Jing’er was allowed by Bai Qiyin to call him such the others were immediately whipped by the latter once they called him by such a name even his elder brother wasn’t allowed to do so.

“Is Jing’er... is he currently asleep? I would like to drop by to see him before leaving,” asked Yun Xiajie.

Usually, Zhi Yue wouldn’t agree. He knew how cautious Lord Hei was towards strangers. Since the latter had no memories of the Lord God he might treat him as a stranger but... Lord Hei had always treated the Lord God kindly regardless of their situation so even he was unsure. He could only glance at his other half who was staying silent beside him only to see his nods as if agreeing to Yun Xiajie’s request to see Hei Anjing.

Reluctantly, Zhi Yue gestured in agreement, “Please come this way but do not wake him up please. This is the first time I’ve seen Lord Hei sleeping peacefully at night. Normally he would only close his eyes to rest and then open them again after a few seconds.”

“Don’t worry. It won’t take long. I just want to glance at him from a distance,” said Yun Xiajie.

Hearing this Zhi Yue escorted Yun Xiajie to the open window near the wooden bed where Hei Anjing is peacefully asleep. Those phoenix-shaped eyes were currently closed and those long eyelashes were curled up naturally and unmoving. A rhythmical sound of breathing can be heard paired with the movement of Hei Anjing’s chest going up and down.

Seeing how relaxed he is sleeping, Yun Xiajie couldn’t help but stare for a few minutes. Even though he is quite an expression his crimson eyes were full of gentleness and doting. His eyes were enough to show his feelings for the sleeping person on the bed.

After taking half an hour of quietly watching, Zhi Yang reminded Chun Hongyun-Jun about his duties.

Zhi Yang whispered, “Lord, you still have a task to help your brother regarding the Ancestral Mound of Lu Weifeng Sect.”

“Um.”

Yun Xiajie waved his sleeves and erected another layer of noise-canceling barrier around the courtyard before leaving. Before he walked away he didn’t forget to glance at his beloved sleeping on the bed.

“Zhi Yue looks after him well. I will come back as soon as possible,” said Chun Hongyun-Jun.

Zhi Yue lightly lowered his head and said, “Please be careful.”

Zhi Yang pats his head before walking away, he followed after Yun Xiajie who left with silent footsteps heading out to complete his duties for the Sect Alliance Problem.

—

Outside the barrier of the Ancestral Mound.

After Zhi Yang had placed a new barrier around the forest surrounding the underground graveyard, no one dared to enter the weird-colored barrier. Unlike the usual white or blue barrier in this world, the barrier Zhi Yang created is black in color.

Lu Yi had recovered half of his strength and decided to join the siege. Though his power hadn’t fully recovered he is at least powerful enough to provide backup for the disciples waiting outside.

Including him, Sect Master Lu, Sect Master Yun, Sect Master Bai, Sect Master Jin, and Crown Prince Hong had stood just outside the black barrier.

Lu Yi tested the barrier using his hand and tried to touch it. His hand unhindered and freely entered the strange color barrier. He also pulled back his hand and realized that this barrier doesn’t prevent anyone from going in and out.

With a frown on his face, Lu Yi said, “This barrier is weird. It does not prevent one from entering nor stop one from going out. What’s the purpose of this!?”

“Isn’t this the one created by Zhi Yang? Let’s wait for him and Jieye to come,” said Yun Huaxia.

Bai Qiyin pulled his husband’s sleeves which made the latter turn his head and smiled at his wife.

“What is it, Darling?” he asked.

Sect Master Bai with his usual grumpy face raised his hand to point at the black sky above them. He used a light talisman to illuminate a part of the sky and especially pointed at a flying black bat the size of a one-year-old human baby.

Everyone knew that the huge bat is a monster, most likely a creature from the infernal realm. They watch as the bat flies under the spotlight of Sect Master Bai’s light talisman. The moment the monster bat noticed the glowing talisman as if it found its target it dived down from the sky. It wanted to attack the humans illuminated by that bright light that almost blind it.

SHRIEKS!!!

Some young disciples instinctively wanted to run away but the Sect Masters stood calmly as they watched the monster fly down in their direction the moment the huge bat touched the black barrier that separated them from the forest. It instantly combusted and cried out before it died and turned to ashes. Only then everyone realized the use of the barrier.

Sect Master Lu commented, “Wow~ so it prevents monsters and devils from coming out! So powerful!!! Dage, with this barrier you do not need to stay on guard outside the barrier. I don’t think any monsters would be able to pass through it alive.”

Lu Yi lightly hit his younger brother’s head though he also thought of the same thing there is no need to mention it as a fool would do.

Owie~ (QWQ)

Lu Er’s thoughts, ‘What did I do wrong?!’

Thoughts of Lu Yi, ‘Hold your tongue, you idiot! There is no need to mention something everyone can see for themselves. How embarrassing!’

Cough!

Yun Huaxia could only let out a cough seeing Lu Er acting like a silly young one at this moment. He does believe that he deserves to be hit by his sworn brother for being too direct to the point.
