I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 411: 9.30 Second Blue Star - Tricked Feng Hou and the former customers

Feng Houye was choked to the point of losing consciousness as for what happened afterward no one knew what happened to him. On the other hand, the Feng Clan who were brought to another place were served with tea and snacks. The elders of the Lou Clan were all friendly and this interaction between the two clans made the Feng Clan relaxed. As a big and well-known clan, those who were from the Fengs were treated with more respect no matter where they went.

Lou Ming just rejoined this group and served personally the tea for the Old Master Feng, Master Feng, and Feng Hou. He was smiling as if meeting his close friend in ages.

Old Master Feng, Feng Shi spoke, ”Clan Leader Lou. Where is Lord Feng? Didnʼt he leave with you just now?”

”Ah~ Ancestor Feng had met with our Lou Clanʼs Ancestor as per his request. They were not having their own conversation and told me to leave them be,” said Lou Ming as he drank his own cup of beverage.

”Indeed, Only those two who have the same strength could understand each other. It is better to not get involved with their personal conversation. Hoho~” said Feng Shi while in the corner of his eyes he is gesturing to him to begin the topic about Xue Hua.

Faking a cough to get everyoneʼs attention. Feng Ku spoke, ”Cough* Actually we are here to ask you something, Clan Leader Lou, itʼs about your son Xue Hua. The truth is...”

His words were cut off as his son who used to be so silent suddenly spoke out and cut in on their conversation.

”I wanted to ask for his hand in marriage. I wanted to know if Uncle is willing to let me marry Xue Hua as my legal wife,” said Feng Hou.

Once Feng Hou said his piece the atmosphere in the living room had become awkward. The adults were all wearing stunned expressions on their faces and all their eyes were on this brat who looks unusually cool only for his image to instantly break when he mentioned Xue Hua as his eyes showed a fanatic expression of admiration and obsession.

Feng Houʼs thoughts, ʼThat a pure gold soul possessor. I must have him on my side no matter what. I would even willingly treat him as my God as long as he becomes mine!ʼ

The elders of the Lou Clan looked at each other with hesitation in their gestures. Only the first elder spoke on behalf of the rest of the members of the Clan. 

”This... Did Young Lord Feng didnʼt know that Xue Hua had married the Ghost King to abide by our contract with him? He is no longer in this Mansion as he has longed to move out to leave with his Ghost King husband. As per your request, it seems to have come a bit later. As we are powerless to go against the ghost king who is considered as a myth within the legends,” said the first elder of the Lou Clan.

Meanwhile, the real thoughts of this first elder are: ʼTsk! If only we knew that the useless brat would be this priceless we would have just let that killer, Lou Lan, marry the Ghost King. Why did they even agree to that cruel bitch of making Xue Hua his substitute bride!? Now theyʼve lost connection with the golden egg-laying chicken for a duck! Let the Feng Clan fight the Ghost King once we take back Xue Hua from the Ghost King the ancestor would definitely be happy to have that brat.

As for that Lou Lan who killed the second, fourth, and fifth elders, we need to send some wanted pictures all over the city and make sure his life is worse than it already is. A mere furnace dared to go against his masters. Hmp! Letʼs see how he could leave being treated as a criminal.ʼ

Feng Hou asked. ”Was he asked to marry the Ghost King against his will? Did you force him to marry that evil creature?!” When this question was asked, everyone from the Lou Clan had smiled in their hearts. They had successfully hooked this big fish that would be extremely useful to get back Xue Hua from the Ghost King.

Lou Ming acted as if he was saddened by something and explained a story he edited to whitewash him and the whole clan while completely blackening Lou Lan instead.

”What indeed happened is unexpected? The Young Lord didnʼt know but this old man originally had three sons. The eldest is called Xue Yan and the second one is Xue Hua. They were both meant to be surnamed Lou but their mother said that she wanted to have her son follow her surname instead. After giving birth to Xue Hua, their mother died so soon when I returned to the clan it was already too late. My wife had already died, leaving me two children to care for,” storied Lou Ming when in reality his first wife didnʼt die but he had lost interest in her.

After removing her position as the first wife, she instead becomes the illegitimate wife and makes Lou Lanʼs mother the official one. But only those in the Clan knew about this. As this is considered a scandal of their Clan leader the elders made sure that the young generation didnʼt speak a word of this else they would be thrown out of the clan. This is also the real reason why Xue Yan who is supposed to be the eldest heir suddenly becomes the first illegitimate son as Lou Lan and his mother never accepted these siblings from that sickly woman who died from an illness.

Lou Ming was still acting but for an old sly fox like Feng Shi and Feng Ku, they knew this weeping fox before them isnʼt totally speaking the truth but if someone is buying it then, Feng Hou this young man did. He looks like he pities Lou Ming and Xue Huaʼs life stories as his cool demeanor starts to break.

Clan Leader Lou Ming is still continuing with his story, ”Iʼve married my third son, Lou Lanʼs mother after thinking it thoroughly that my children were still young and need a mother figure but who would have thought she himself would die after giving birth to my third son, Lanʼer and this child would end up being a devilʼs child.”

”A devilʼs child? What does Uncle mean?” asked Feng Hou.

Lou Ming, ”This child is a bad one. He loves to bully his brothers, especially Huaʼer! Huaʼer had been physically weak since birth and his elder brother would be out for mission most of the time while I am busy with the clan, this devilʼs child would treat Huaʼer even worse than servants, and lately, this child had killed three elders in our clan for commenting in the family meeting to bring back Huaʼer in the Clan. He had now run away from home. He is evil I tell you!” His expression looks so real and expressive that Feng Hou believes Lou Mingʼs nonsense.

Feng Hou frowned when he heard that a murderer is in loose, after he got back home, he decided to send some people to the police station and issue a wanted poster and rewards to those who would be able to point out where this criminal is hiding.

The conversation continues like this until Lord Feng Houye reunites with his descendants after his conversation with Ye Gui who forces him into a deal in exchange for sparing his life.

Afternoon, under the bridge.

Xue Hua had left school early, afraid that his classmates would capture him and was interrogated about his newly married life. Though he is proud of marrying a man like Xie Mo, it is still a bit embarrassing for him to deal with that group of gossipers and so he runs away the very moment he gets the opportunity. 

He is now playing poker with Master Yi and Master Ling. No customers were dropping by the bridge lately but these three Celestial Masters donʼt care much.

Master Yi, ”Full House! Did I win?”

”No. Mine is four of a king. Nines,” said Master Ling.

Then they looked at Xue Hua who calmly placed down his card revealing 10, Jack, Queen, King, and an Ace of all spades. 

With a grin on his face, Xue Hua said, ”It seems that the last piece of cake is mine. Royal Flush!”

”Aw~ Damn! My strawberry shortcake~” said Master Xie Yi. 

Xue Hua, ”It is mine now, hehehe~”

”Watch your sugar! You ate four slices already!” said Master Ling to Master Yi.

Surrounding a small table this group of old men and a beautiful young man were playing cards happily while not far from them are stalls with banners of words saying ʼFortune Tellingʼ written on it. Then seeing a round of card game ended in favor of the youngest one, the last plate of strawberry shortcake had ended in Xue Huaʼs plate. His white hair glitters under the light as if he is a little immortal. He ate his cake while the two old men stared at him without saying a thing. After a while, a few customers who seemed to have gotten lost and entered this area got interested with the huge banner of Fortune Telling words. Most people still believe in star reading and fortune telling in this city.

Since itʼs afternoon and time for people to go home, there are some who had time to drop by in this place. Among the familiar faces of Yan Ke and his two sworn brothers appeared. There is also that customer who looks like a businessman from a big company named Wen Ya. It was the client who had suffered from the immense bad luck that almost got his company to end up bankrupt if not for seeing these mysterious stalls.

Among the three brothers, Wang Liu was especially interested in Xue Hua whom he is meeting for the first time. He knew that this young man who had exquisite features yet looked so delicate is unexpectedly a little immortal who was able to save his second and third brotherʼs lives in danger with just one or two talismans. They were dropping by in this area under the bridge for days but this was the first time they got to see Xue Hua after that event.

After hearing the legends and details of the events that took place while he was asleep plus those talismans theyʼve bought after dropping by once or thrice in this place was indeed so effective. He had bought some Protective Talismans for him and his family. His wife was almost mugged by a thief holding a knife and was almost stabbed by it but that talisman he bought from this place had repeatedly protected them from harm. After learning that it was this drop gorgeous young man who made those godly talismans, Wang Liuʼs reverence towards Xue Hua had reached its peak. These three brothers had already thought of Xue Hua as a real immortal in the city.

Wen Ya, this middle-aged attractive businessman had met Xue Hua and got his fortune ready by him personally. After he got home that day he called his eldest son, Wang Ke, and his daughter, Wen Rou to go home as soon as possible. His two children were out for work. With the eldest in the other city and the only girl working in his main company. At first, he was still a bit reluctant in believing what Xue Hua had told him. But the results he got from the investigation of his half-brother, Wen Shi, were more terrifying than he had expected. His wife had cried all night when she saw the reports as well.

According to the reports, it seems that his half-brother was the one who killed their parents. He wanted to be the heir of the Wen corporation but unfortunately, the Wen Couple had already named it for Wen Ya to inherit. After all, this is a company, by Mr. Wen made it with Wen Yaʼs mother and Wen Shi had nothing to do with this companyʼs inheritance though the kind couple still gave him some subsidies for Wen Shi. But for the latter, he felt this wasnʼt enough and it was unfair for his younger brother to have it. Then he killed their parents before the inheritance papers were finalized? Little did he know that those papers had been long made by the Wen Couple and the one in his hands happened to be just a backup one.

After the failure of his first plan, Wen Shi tried to destroy Wen Ya from the inside. He started making things worse for the Wen Corporation which led to Wen Yaʼs bad business and wandered somewhere where he met the two Old Masters and the mysterious young man. His call with his eldest had connected and heard that he was about to ride his plane back home as he was summoned back by his father. But the call with his daughter didnʼt go well, someone else had answered it. It was the voice of his half-brother Wen Shi. He kidnapped Wen Rou, Wen Yaʼs daughter, and asked for a ransom.

Wen Ya did his best to make sure that the police would be able to capture that evil man, Wen Shi. During the exchange, his half-brother was sneering at him. Wen Shi was captured immediately but Wen Rou is nowhere to be found. Wen Ya and the police were interrogating this criminal when he suddenly asked him who he would choose to save, was it his eldest son or his only daughter? At first, Wen Ya didnʼt understand what his half-brother meant when he received a call from the bodyguard he left for his eldest son that the Eldest Master was almost assassinated in the airport. As for his missing daughter, the police had found her location in an abandoned building. Only then did he understand his half-brotherʼs words.

Wen Shi was asking which of his two children is he going to choose to save?

”Hahaha~ So which one is the most important to you little brother? Is it your son or your daughter?” asked Wen Shi while guffawing at his stunned and panicked expression.
