I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 413: 9.32 Second Blue Star - Lifespan

Wang Liu glanced at the pretty young man in particular after his greetings. He noticed that Xue Hua was also staring at him. Of course, it wasnʼt the kind that is caused by attraction but instead observing something on him which made him uncomfortable. He was thinking that something was attached to him again. Just thinking of that Ghost Lady General from before that caused his coma for almost a week, he couldnʼt help but shiver just thinking about it. His Second and Third brothers told him that if he had indeed continued sleeping for a week, he could have never woken up ever again.

Of course, Xue Huaʼs stares are so rare that even Yan Ke and Su Wan noticed it. Theyʼve also thought the same thing as their elder brother.

Yan Ke asked worriedly, ”Young Ancestor, is our big brother alright?”

Xue Hua averted his eyes and looked at the two Celestial Masters, Shen Ling and Xie Ye, they were a bit confused about whatʼs wrong with Wang Liu and the little oneʼs eyes were asking why they didnʼt tell him? In the end, both thoughts had gone through.

”I guess he should be okay now but...” replied Xue Hua but suddenly swallowed his words.

Yan Ke, hearing this tone, asked promptly, ”But? But what?”

Xue Hua smiled faintly but no longer explained things further. Meanwhile, Master Yi and Master Ling also observed Wang Liu. They were still a bit confused about whatʼs wrong with the little one. But seeing the Yin energy that was left behind the Female General ghost lingering on the man, they finally understood. After being possessed by the ghostly being the Yin energy was left in Wang Liuʼs body and would most likely lose several years of life as an aftereffect of it.

Though the Ghost General Lady had returned a bit of Wang Liuʼs life energy, this energy was only enough to wake him up. What was taken cannot come back perfectly like before. Moreover, all three brothers were affected due to the Yin energy that entered their Yang body when they visited that haunted tomb.

Master Ling mumbled, ”Oh~ I finally understand what the brat means.”

”Hmm~ but with the looks of it. It doesnʼt matter much though. Itʼs just a few years anyway~” commented Master Yi.

Wang Liu finally panicked when he heard the word years for some reason this word made him uncomfortable.

”Y-Young Ancestor! Forgive this oneʼs rudeness but... is there something wrong with me? Am I suffering some aftereffects of something?!” asked Wang Liu.

Hearing the query Xue Hua chuckled and said, ”You are pretty observant. Iʼve just looked at you for a short time and youʼve already thought of the aftereffects. But the question is, are you sure you want to know?”

Wang Liu and the rest nod their heads, though there is some blush on their face hearing the melodic laugh of the beauty before them. This is a normal reaction, seeing a smiling beauty is still nice to see and Xue Huaʼs phoenix-shaped eyes were bewitching by nature.

Seeing the Young Ancestorʼs reaction like this, just made the three brotherʼs curiosity fueled even more, ”Yes. Yes, please tell us ba~”

Xue Hua reached out his hand with graceful movements and picked a custard-flavored donut from the box and happily bit on it. Once he finished half of the donut, he finally continued speaking.

”It is not really a big deal but a couple of days when you are possessed, your body was tainted too much by Yin energy, so you are going to lose a few years of your life. The three of you actually. Su Wan is luckier as he only loses at most 5 days. The second brother Yan Ke lost at least 3 months.” explained Xue Hua.

As his words were spoken Su Wan and Yan Keʼs faces turned gloomy, they never expected their lifespan to be affected after getting close to ghosts. They are ordinary human beings after all they werenʼt like Xue Hua who had the golden aura of merits to protect him from the Yin energy and just the fact that he isnʼt originally mortal this concept does not affect him much. Celestial Masters are also not affected by this, due to their cultivation, they are able to live for a bit longer duration than mortals. So losing a few years of their lifespan didnʼt really matter to them.

Unfortunately, the three sworn brothers were all ordinary people without golden merits. Their life span is originally set at hundred years like all ordinary people. It would already be a blessing if they could even live past 90 years of their lives.

Wang Liu, who had the palest face finally pleads Xue Hua, ”Young Ancestor Xue, please save me~ Why didnʼt you say so earlier? We wonʼt be short-lived, arenʼt we? Wuwuwu~ Iʼm the only son of my parents and even though I am married I havenʼt had any children yet. I still havenʼt lived long enough, why is my lifespan shortened?”

Xue Hua, Master Yi, and Master Ling looked at the three brotherʼs teary-eyed expressions speechless.

Master Shen Ling could be helped but comment, ”Whatʼs wrong with you three? All men closed in their mid-thirties bawling like a baby. I thought you guys were bolder as you even thought of playing around within that haunted tomb!”

”Ling, calm down. Your blood pressure~” said Xie Yi to his partner before looking at the three brothers who were currently acting like bullied children. Even Wen Ya who was just here coincidentally felt these three big men were acting like brats.

”Itʼs only a few years short of lifespan, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Besides you guys have a long life span, it was actually nothing,” said Master Yi with his usual friendly smile.

The three brothers were speechless. They were now regretting it why they were bored enough to go to that haunted tomb, get possessed by the ghosts, and make their life span suffer because of it. Who didnʼt want a longer life?

Su Wan kneeled and hugged Xue Huaʼs legs, ”Master~ you canʼt see me dying and not save me. I am...”

”Brat let go. You are hugging the legs of a married man!” said Master Yi and as those words were spoken, a man wearing glasses hiding the glinting anger within those black eyes grabbed Su Wanʼs by the neck and threw him towards his two brothers. Under everyoneʼs eyes, Xie Mo hugs his wife and glares at Su Wan.

Xie Moʼs tone was cold when he said, ”Do you not know whose wife you are touching, mortal?”

A heavy aura spreads in the area making the others a bit breathless as if they were drowning without being in the water. Even Master Shen Ling and Master Xie Yi were not an exception. For the four ordinary people, this was a bit too much thought.

Xue Hua had to coax his jealous husband, ”Fujun~ calm down. They are my customers from before. You cannot harm them~” he said while hugging the waist of Xie Mo while acting spoiled.

Only when the Ghost King had heard his qiziʼs words did he take back his domineering aura and release the rest from suffering. There are some who coughed after the air suddenly entered their mouth entering the wrong pipe.

Cough. cough. cough.

Master Shen Ling couldnʼt stop himself from complaining after his breathing returned to normal. ”You cannot just harm mortals as you wish. Do you not fear the bad karma attaching to you?”

Xie Mo carried his wife and sat on his wifeʼs former seat only then did he place his wife on his lap letting him sit on him. He lightly glanced at Shen Ling and responded, ”The karmas of this world had no effect on me. This is not high tier-world after all.” he said as he took a donut and fed his wife whose reaction to being cuddled in front of everyone was as natural as always. He seems to be used to this kind of intimacy with his husband.

Master Yi was stunned and asked, ”What do you mean in this ʼworldʼ are you not originally...” he halted his words after seeing the others looking at him. Seeing that there are still mortals around them, Xie Yi shut up immediately and took the tea kettle to serve Xie Mo some tea, ”This tea is good. Have some, Your Majesty.”

”That tea is barely acceptable but thank you. There is no need to call me your majesty. My wife considers you as elders. I will allow you to call my name,” said Xie Mo.

Shen Ling and Xie Yi smiled when they heard that.

”Then enjoy some tea, Sir Xie Mo,” said Master Shen while the ghost king accepted the cup given to him by the two Celestial Masters.

The sudden arrival of Xie Mo caught Wen Ya, Su Wan, Yan Ke, and Wang Liu off guard. Of course! Everyone heard when the Young Ancestor called him Fujun adding the words of Master Yi just now about Xue Hua being a married man, they finally realized that this other unworldly man is the legal husband of Xue Hua.

Wen Ya respectfully greeted Xie Mo. He heard the Great Master calling this man as his majesty. This means that this personʼs identity isnʼt ordinary. Though the dynasties had long passed and it was already a modern era, the side of Celestial Masters is different from ordinary. He must be someone of status at some point or for a reason.

”Pleasant Greetings to you, Sire,” said Wen Ya with a friendly smile. Xie Mo wanted to ignore this mortal but knowing that his memoryless wife is living the normal life in this world he couldnʼt just turn a blind eye on them as usual. He returns the greeting with a nod.

The three brothers see the relationship between these two mysterious men. They all kneeled before Xie Mo and Xue Hua to apologize. This is especially true for Su Wan.

Wang Liu said, ”Please forgive our third brotherʼs rudeness just now.”

”I will make sure that will never happen ever again,” said Yan Ke.

Su Wan lowered his head not meeting the eyes of Xie Mo. He couldnʼt stop trembling when he met those dark orbs that split a second from before. He felt that something was choking him when he met this personʼs eyes.

Xue Hua was the one who spoke for Xie Mo and smiled at the brothers, ”Donʼt worry, I donʼt mind. Fujun just gets jealous so easily. He is not angry for real, right Fujun?”

Seeing his wifeʼs upturned lips he couldnʼt stop and pecked on those lips. Then he glanced at the brothers coldly and said, ”No next time.”

Seeing that sharp gaze landing on them, the three brothers flinched, ”Yes. Yes.”

”As for the problem of your lifespan, do not worry much about it. For your elder brotherʼs case, hmm~ he had lost 3 birthdays after all,” said Xue Hua with a gentle smile but this expression of his under the eyes of everyone was like telling to their faces that they deserve it. Shen Ling and Xie Ye wouldnʼt help but laugh when they saw this. This result was indeed the fault of these brothers who went to that unclean place for fun.

Pfft!
