816 14.92 Last Violet Star – (Past) Childhood Days
The dialogue with the King of Devils quickly came to an end after his soul possession. Even if the devil that rules the devil race acquired control of one of his creatures’ souls, he wouldn’t be able to hold onto it for very long since the original soul would be destroyed if it was taken by another.
The Devil King’s soul wisp link was exhausted since Devil Tanlan’s soul’s limit of endurance had been surpassed. As a result, once Devil Tanlan passed away, both his link to the soul and the contract his soul had with the King of the Devils vanished.
Hei Anjing and Xia Jieye were led to the courtyard that had been set aside for them after exiting the underground chamber. The Crown Prince personally led the way as they proceeded through a row of trees.
Chun Hongyun-Jun and Senior Hei received thanks from Hong Longqing and Heilan. They came in time to save the present dynasty’s royal family from extinction. There are now very few princes and princesses who survived Jin Baihua’s craziness. Most of the royal descendants had already died, been reduced to ashes, and been consumed by Xia Jieye’s Hellfire.
The Crown Prince addressed the reverend Lord Hei and Chun Hongyun-Jun, saying, “Please accept our sincere gratitude for saving the royal family.”
Heilan adds, “This young one is welcoming and grateful to His Highness Lord Xia and His Highness King Wuan for saving A’Qing.”
Hei Anjing assured him, “Don’t worry. We were able to help because you asked for us. Additionally, we were meant to travel to the palace to end Devil Tanlan, and since he is now gone, everything should be alright. By the way, after supper, I had intended to summon your younger brother’s soul. You should come, too.”
In a state of ecstasy, the Crown Prince Hong Longqing said, “R-Really? Thank you so much, Venerable Lord!!”
“The promise is supposed to be fulfilled. So... So calling your brother was kind of like making up for it.” Mo Bing Jingling-Jun responded, “After all, we couldn’t save his corpse. After the devil’s soul was ripped out, it instantly went to ashes. You cannot bury him in such a state. ”
.....
After saying their goodbyes and leading the distinguished visitors to their temporary courtyard, Heilan and the Crown Prince departed. Just as the two vanished, Hei Anjing was quickly carried by Xia Jieye, who had been silent the entire time and taken inside the bedroom to lie down. His demeanor was less serene and kind than usual; instead, it contained some anger. Hei Anjing still has a smile on his lips as he looks at him in spite of this.
Hei Anjing asked, “What’s wrong, my love?”
Xia Jieye said, “Why... Why did you have to go to Purgatory when you can violate the Heavenly Laws of this world? You shouldn’t have let yourself be tortured for a thousand years, Jing’er!”
Hei Anjing briefly stopped before continuing, perhaps considering what to say.
“It’s true that my memories were with me when I first opened my eyes in the Heavenly Realm, and even when I saw the version of you that doesn’t remember me, I was able to roam around without restriction—that is, until I tried to break the seal on your memories.”
“After learning that my memories weren’t sealed the day I woke up in this world, The Origin and the End started to get involved and tried to seal my memories as well. Furthermore, at that time you were very distant and seemed to hate me a lot. So in the end, they got successful after I died once in the Mortal Realm.”
“The Hei Royal Family’s curse is a copy of our Clan’s curse, and they even used my Mo Family’s curse to bring it into this world. When I asked you to kill me at that time, it was the only way to protect you as well as to activate the curse in my family. Those two were trying very hard to keep you from waking up and they even tried to use me to keep your state. They knew that my weakness is you. Since you don’t have any memories of Xia Jieye, you don’t trust me much, and even though you love me I can’t just say you are a Sovereign God from a higher world right?”
“They tried to completely erase my memories, which is why I asked my father to punish me by sending me to purgatory rather than exile me. If I were exiled without memories of you, they might use me to kill you, and I don’t want that. After they temporarily broke our connection when I died, they wanted to interfere once more. To prevent that I entered Purgatory voluntarily.”
“Even though I am sleeping, Purgatory would torture any soul inside of it. Even I wasn’t spared, that’s all,” he said. “While I was in the Heavenly Realm I’ve already refined Purgatory as my personal space. They couldn’t interfere there. But my soul was injured when our connection was broken and I fell asleep in Purgatory for thousands of years.”
Xia Jieye gives his wife a quiet hug. Hei Anjing can sense his underlying wrath and homicidal purpose even when he is silent. Hei Anjing was giving off the impression that he wasn’t in the least bit worried despite the tense surroundings and just gave his spouse a wordless embrace in return.
Chun Hongyun-Jun said, “Take a nap. I will wake you up for dinner.” he kisses the top of his hair while hugging his wife.
“Um~, I will,” said Hei Anjing.
Hei Anjing appeared to be in good health, yet his original soul was on the edge of disappearing.
Hei Anjing improved his cultivation in this world, which progressively repaired his soul. This was especially true when he initially awoke in this world, and his soul gradually stabilized. However, this soul is still only a fragment of a soul, and unless it is reunited with its vessel or the central core, it will eventually vanish.
Hei Anjing is aware of this, while Xie Jieye is unaware. It was only that he didn’t want to give up his lover in order to find a method to survive. After all those ages, he finally got his lover back, and he indulges himself in love.
Then, with homicidal purpose flashing across Xia Jieye’s eyes, he turns to face the uncharted area.
The Origin and the End, who attempted to take advantage of him and his wife, are beginning to enrage him.
Xia Jieye is currently thinking, “Since you intended to mess with our lives, even if I destroy you in retaliation it would be something you deserve.”

Back in the Past ten years ago...
It had just happened after each clan and sect’s delegate had attended the exchange study at Lan Zhuayun Sect. The sect leaders were fair; the courtyards they were given were the same size whether the visiting followers were from a large clan or sect or a small clan.
Only the elders were given access to the same courtyard as the elders of the Lan Zhuayun Sect.
In other words, where the visiting disciples will stay depends on where the Lan Zhuayun Sect disciples dwell. The guest elders who traveled to the Lan Zhuayun Sect with their disciples are treated with the same respect. They are limited to living where the Lan Zhuayun Sect elders do.
The Lan Zhuayun Sect also has a specific area designated for geniuses. The only person who resides in this courtyard, however, is Yun Xiajie, the sect’s youngest young lord, who at such a young age held a Peak Foundation Stage Cultivation. His power was almost equal to that of his older brother, the Lan Zhuayun Sect heir.
Actually, Yun Xiajie was the one who requested that Bai Wuan be allowed to live with him. After all, the group had nearly descended into pandemonium when Bai Wuan first entered the sect that day.
In order to glimpse at Bai Wuan’s visage when he entered the Lan Zhuayun Sect, the obedient and polite female disciples collectively disobeyed a sect rule by making themselves visible to other disciples.
Some visiting disciples began to approach the mysterious and stunning female Lan Zhuayun Sect disciples as a result of their sudden presence in order to make acquaintances. The Lan Zhuayun Sect’s female disciples seldom ever interact with visitors from other sects since they are all busy studying cultivation as well as traditional feminine professions like cooking, needlework, and other things of that such.
Reactions of both male and female disciples...
“Look! It’s Senior Brother Bai Wuan!! He is so beautiful~”
“I heard the rumors but... How can a man look like this? He is too... too alluring...”
“Should we make friends with him?”
“Stupid! Do you want to die? I heard he had beaten all those who tried to approach him by other means. Some of them had to be picked personally up by their Sect Leaders and Clan Masters to survive.”
“I also knew about that. He left all of them frozen in ice outside of the Bai Lengshui Sect’s gate for others to look at. It was so embarrassing~”
“Moreover, don’t look at his beauty alone. I heard he is as strong as Senior Brother Jieye at such a young age.”
“Really? He looks a few years younger than Senior Brother Jieye. He is that strong already!?”
“He has beauty, brains, and strength. His future Dao Companion would be in bliss whoever got his heart.”
“But I heard no one is able to make him interested in other people. He only treats his siblings well and treats a few of his friends amiably but... No other person is able to catch his attention at all...”
The entrance of Bai Wuan into the Lan Zhuayun Sect is comparable to the advent of a priceless and rare treasure. Everyone was anxious to meet and see him. Due to the ruckus, Yun Huaxia and Yun Xiajie had to calm the situation down on their own.
Yun Huaxia spoke, “Enough now. Please resume silence. Don’t run around and scream.”
“The rules are at the tall wall not far from you. We hope you follow the instructions of the Sect while you stay in this place,” said Yun Xiajie.
Hei Anjing, who had been ignoring everything up until this point, suddenly noticed his husband amid the crowds as the brothers were attempting to calm the ruckus at the entrance gate to the Ln Zhuayun Sect. He quickly showed excitement at seeing Yun Xiajie.
Bai Wuan spoke, “Qiqi, stay here with everyone. I saw a friend just now. I want to greet him.”
“...Eh...? Brother, can’t you bring us too?” asked Bai Qiyin but Bai Wuan had long disappeared.
Bai Lili spoke, “Brother, Dear Elder Brother had already disappeared before you completed your words. I don’t think he heard it.”
“I think this is the first time I saw Senior Brother Wuan look happy meeting someone. Who is he meeting with?” asked Jin Shiyan who had stuck with this group since his fiancée was there.
Second Young Lord of Lu Clan, Lu Er also commented, “Well~ at least I can say that Senior Brother Wuan doesn’t look this delighted when meeting my Elder brother. Now I’m interested in who he is meeting with. Should we secretly follow him?”
“Let’s go,” said Bai Qiyin as they walked in the direction where Bai Wuan had gone just now.
They observed Bai Wuan smiling as he spoke to a Lan Zhuayan disciple who had a pigment cloud design on his robe as they moved closer to the Lan Zhuayun Sect’s gates. A white robe with a cloud design in scarlet. Even though this disciple appears to be a little older than Bai Wuan, he shows no sign of emotion when he sees Bai Wuan’s smile. If not for his slightly flushed ears, they may have assumed this man lacked any feeling. Yun Xiajie is the man who was standing next to Bai Wuan.
Bai Qiyin became enraged at the sight of a guy neglecting his older brother who was joking and speaking to him as a friend. He couldn’t tolerate someone who dared to disregard his older brother, who was eager to make friends for the first time.
The man who was standing next to Bai Wuan astonished Lu Er and Jin Shiyan a little. They at least knew the other heirs of the other important sects and clans because they were descendants of their own sects.
“Oh, so he finally left seclusion, I thought he could continue his training till the end of this year,” Jin Shiyan remarked, stunned by the spectacle.
Lu Er remarked, “I didn’t expect Senior Brother Wuan to know this person. Senior Brother Yun Huaye might have asked him to go out and help with this occasion. If not for that... He might have been called to be sent out on a mission.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen my dear older brother smile at someone other than us, his siblings,” Bai Lili thought. “Does he really like that person?”
Bai Qiyin frowned and inquired, “Who is he? Do you know who that bastard is?” to Jin Shiyan and Lu Er.
“He is the youngest genius of the same generation as your elder brother and is known by the courtesy name Yun Jieye and birth name Yun Xiajie. Like Senior Brother Wuan, he is cultivating at the Peak Foundation Establishment Stage,” as Lu Er explained to A’Ying.
