Chapter 785

785 14.61 Last Violet Star – Death Valley (5)

“The devil that commands lust, ‘Qingyu,’ pays respect to the God of Punishment, his highness, King Wuan,” said the entity that had taken control of Cao Rumin’s vessel.

Even if a devil-like Qingyu had guessed his everlasting title, Hei Anjing’s visage remained unaltered.

He appeared to be unconcerned with how Devil Qingyu had presented himself. He didn’t even turn to face him. Instead, he was focused on his uncle’s rebirth.

Hei Anjing answered, “If you can recognize me by looks, it shouldn’t have been possible. Most devils I’ve seen before had all been buried underground for so long that no one knows what I look like.”

“Immortality of the Xue Clan. Xue Yueguang is currently going through the final stage of the Immortality, the bloodline of Xue has. Rebirth by blood,” Devil Qingyu retorted.

Hei Anjing questioned, “If you had recognized him, why didn’t you inform your vessel about it?”

Obviously asking in a casual tone.

Devil Qingyu declares, “Even I did not know his lineage. It was only when I saw that his highness had stabbed him with your own blood that I learned his origin.”

“If that’s the case,” Hei Anjing posed the following query: “Is this human that valuable to you? You know my identity yet to save a mortal you had revealed yourself to.”

.....

The Devil Qingyu responds, “Yes. This child used to be evil at heart, yet kind at the same time. However, due to some circumstances, or more so because of Xue Yueguang’s cuddling, desires had blinded his mind. There is also jealousy and greed in his heart. It was so easy for me to influence him. However, this child is so foolish, loving someone of that cold-hearted bloodline who can only give their hearts to one chosen to be their Dao companion in this whole world. He is so pitiful that lust was the only way for him to turn a blind eye to the reality before his eyes.”

Hei Anjing questioned, “Are you not scared that I would slay you if a devil like you appeared before this king’s eyes?”

“I had lived too long to comprehend and somewhat guess the thoughts of the person in front of me. His Highness doesn’t seem to detest the devil-like other immortals do, and... That human fighting outside I’m afraid he is,” said Devil Qingyu, shaking his head.

Hei Anjing replied in a monotone voice, “You can close your mouth now unless you want me to rip out your tongue,” yet it is obvious that he was intimidating the devil in front of him.

Devil Qingyu held his tongue for a brief period of time before grinning helplessly.

“My lord, are you willing to kill him for the world?” His Highness demanded. “His Highness wouldn’t have noticed. Even though he is mixed, his blood cannot be denied.”

Hei Anjing said honestly, “I am willing to destroy this world to keep him safe, so mind your own business,” as if he hadn’t planned to retort with a more horrible response that would have left everyone who heard speechless.

As expected, even the Devil itself didn’t anticipate this proud king to answer his questions, but who would have expected that the answer to his inquiries would end up with such a dreadful answer?

Devil Qingyu inquired as if he were only hearing things and didn’t trust what he had just heard.

“Your Highness, when you responded earlier, were you being serious?”

Hei Anjing responded, “This king never trifled around with the life of his other half. What you have heard is what I shall do. Even if the entire world turns against me, I will protect A’Xia.”

Devil Qingyu remembers what transpired with Ji Du, the Devil of Envy.

The Devil Qingyu questioned, “Did your highness kill Ji Du using your own body to totally destroy his soul because he wanted to make your lover his next vessel?”

The man in question didn’t deny anything, “He deserves it,” Hei Anjing said.

“You’ve even burned your own soul just so you can stay with that mortal in this world without thinking about your death. Do not buy time any further. You know that you can last longer in that body.”

“I wonder whether his highness is willing to make a concession with me,” the devil remarked with a knowing yet pleased smile.

“No matter what you do, that person is going to pass away today,” Hei Anjing replied.

“I know. That’s why I am betting for the future.” said the Devil. “Your Highness, there is a method for you to feel various emotions all at the same time. Are you willing to bet on it?”

From inside Cao Rumin, Qingyu, this fiend of lust, had been observing everything. He was aware of the current events between Hei Anjing and Yun Xiajie, including their unanticipated argument. Even though Yun Xiajie would no longer care whether Hei Anjing was unable to express his emotions. Hei Anjing was now affected by the incident. He believed that his loved one will suffer more by his side the longer he remains impassive. This is intended to be used as a trade-off by the devil Qingyu.

Towards these remarks, Hei Anjing’s visage turned chilly, and he cast a glacier-like glance at Devil Qingyu.

“Do you believe that this king would degrade himself to bargain with the devil?”

Chuckles~

Devil Qingyu said, “The devil race can only propose; the latter will always make the choice.”

Devil Qingyu spoke to him in a whisper that only Hei Anjing had heard. Nobody is aware of what the devil said to Hei Anjing or what Hei Anjing ultimately chose, but Hei Anjing eventually kills the devil in the end. Hei Anjing swung his weapon, and a blood-colored scythe materialized in his hands. Devil Qingyu, who was grinning, was cut to death by this blade.

Only the devil’s hushed words, “My darling, Gege would go ahead of you. Don’t be scared,” were audible to Hei Anjing.

Hei Anjing still swipes his blade toward Cao Rumin after hearing those comments. His neck was pierced by the sword, but no cuts or wounds were visible. The scythe of Hei Anjing had two results.

No soul can evade his blade and it wouldn’t cut anything he doesn’t want to cut.

Hei Anjing’s weapon vanished after killing the devil, and he turned around to face the casket once more while he waited for his uncle to awaken. Cao Rumin was confused when he was abruptly forced to reclaim his body and woke up. He was aware of the devil’s presence within him. However, Cao Rumin had always considered the devil to be his only sibling and brother.

The Devil Qingyu would only take over his body when he was in grave danger, yet even while they were in the same body, they could speak and hear one other. The Devil’s final words to him are heard by Cao Rumin. The only family in his life that had supported and loved him from the beginning was now permanently lost, he knew at that moment.

“Ge? Ge? Yu-gege? Please stop joking around?! Brother, talk to me, please. I don’t like this kind of joke at all. Gege, if you don’t talk to me right now I will be angry. I will ignore you! I will really ignore you. I beg you, please talk to me, Yu-gege,” Cao Rumin panicked and yelled like a lunatic.

“He is gone, and no one can escape my Scythe,” Hei Anjing remarked.

When Cao Rumin hears Hei Anjing’s voice, he explodes with wrath. He starts hitting Hei Anjing, but Hei Anjing retaliates by summoning an ice sword out of thin air. Whether Cao Rumin employed resentful qi or natural qi in battle, all of his moves against Hei Anjing were ineffective. It resembled a young person sparring with an adult who is stronger than he is.

Cao Rumin was acting insanely as he carelessly attacked Hei Anjing. He continues to mumble the same phrases.

“If you hadn’t come here, nothing would have happened to Yueguang and Qingyu-gege would still be with me, thus everything is your fault!”

Hei Anjing remarked, “Your heart is too huge. To have two people fit within it. Because of this, your love feels so cheap.”

His statements were sarcastic despite his expressionless face.

Cao Rumin yelled, “Shut up! What the hell do you know!?” in a fit of wrath.

“You didn’t know that a Xue can only love one person in their entire life, and this is true whether they received the same love in return or not. I don’t care who you are. I wouldn’t care anything about you. It’s just that the Devil who loved you looks so foolish even helping you force someone with a bloodline of Xue to love you.”

“No matter how hard you try, once a Xue has made his choice, nothing will change-even if you kill the chosen one with your own hands. If you want to force someone like him to love you, then you are dreaming too long.”

Hei Anjing questioned, “Is he foolish or is he pitiful? He sacrificed his soul just to keep you alive till now, yet he still wasn’t able to get your heart alone.”

Hei Anjing’s words were like sharp needles that pierced Cao Rumin’s heart with each one. Although he had guarded him since he was a child, he had never seen his Brother Qingyu in person. He served as a sacrifice in a Demonic Cultivation Cult’s summoning of the Devil. He was going to die that night, but the summoned one didn’t even try to eat his soul.

The reality that he is a devil cannot be changed, despite the fact that he likes Qingyu and treats him like family. Hei Anjing heard Cao Rumin say the following things even though he remained silent about his thoughts.

“If there is a good god, then there is also an eccentric god. If so, then how can you believe that there is only evil within the devil race? Are you sure there isn’t a good one among the evil?” Hei Anjing said. “There is white and black in everything. Like there are bad humans, there are good humans as well.”

“Is there no love within the darkness? Or had you judged that man as wicked because he is a devil? Do you think an evil person would save someone without a reason? It can be a whim or a plot.”

“You can be sure that not all gods are good because if they were, I wouldn’t have existed.”

Hei Anjing had just spoken, and Cao Rumin wasn’t entirely sure he understood. He recognized the underlying meaning behind the majority of his statements but particularly didn’t understand the last few sentences.

White follows on the heels of black. There is evil if there is good. That stability would only be possible with both presents.

Then he remembered all of his past. The devil saved his life just before he was going to be sacrificed. After the devil invaded his body, he was given freedom and nothing could hold him back. They have lived together for a while. Both Qingyu and he like each other. Sadly, he didn’t believe the affection and concern this man had shown him. He needed to be shielded and kept from going crazy even after he passed away.

Cao Rumin thought he had lost something crucial in his life, which caused him to become tranquil and then look off into the distance in a stupor. Tears streamed out of his perplexed eyes, leaving his cheeks moist. He only realized what kind of person he had just lost for good at this point.

Cao Rumin’s eyes were filled with regret and pain as he gazed at Hei Anjing.

“You are merciless, forcing me to acknowledge my losses and confront the fact that I spent all this time and harmed the only being in the world capable of loving me.”

Cao Rumin’s heart was pierced by a blade that appeared out of nowhere. A frost formed an ice cap at the sword’s tip. Hei Anjing and Cao Rumin can see the ice slowly encircling his entire body as it slowly spreads from his heart.

Cough!

The person who stabbed Cao Rumin in the heart was apparent. It was Xue Yueguang, who had a hateful expression on his face but was staring at him with a calm yet chilly gaze.

His ears continue to hear a cold voice. The soft voice from his memories wasn’t anything like this.

Xue Yueguang drew out his blade and watched as Cao Rumin gradually turned to ice. “You killed my other half, then you also no longer need to live. Die for me. You love me don’t you?” he asked.

Once Cao Rumin had transformed into an ice statue, Xue Yueguang viciously waved his band to shatter it, leaving no trace of the individual.
