I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1490 20.54 First Black Star - Vessel

The desire of Shun Yaya to revive her elder brother is real. It is just that as cultivators, they hardly believe in miracles as they tend to use power to achieve their goals and desires. Godhood is the goal of most cultivators.

Because this meant they had ascended from their mortal selves and removed the restraints of the world from them. That mortals tend to place their hopes on them as they are beings who have transcended and are no longer humans.

Upon hearing what Shun Yaya had said, Wang Xiajie couldnʼt help but try to talk about this topic and started asking more about it.

Wang Xiajie asked, ”You seem to know more about resurrection. Have you witnessed one? Also, did you keep the body of your brother? I only know that itʼs possible to return to oneʼs own body, but not someone else. Soul and vessel need to be compatible after all. Iʼve read this in the forbidden library in the palace.”

Upon hearing this, the Shun family couldnʼt help but be depressed. In the first place, they choose not to preserve the body of the son in their family after he died, as he was almost no longer in human form after being played with by those evil cultivators.

Moreover, they had chosen to cremate him and let him return to earth. So, upon hearing the words of Wang Xiajie, they all couldnʼt help but feel depressed about this.

Noticing the sudden gloominess in the living room, Hei Xiaojing, who had returned from the backyard, couldnʼt help but poke Wang Xiajie and ask him what happened to this old couple and their daughter.

Hei Xiaojing whispered, ”What happened to them?”

”They wanted to revive their dead son, but the vessel had long been turned to ashes. Thus, even if they get back his son, without a vessel he cannot be revived at all,” Wang Xiajie whispered back.

Hei Xiaojing looked at him innocently and said, ”If itʼs just reviving him and not letting him cultivate, itʼs easy. Just make him a puppet vessel!”

The suggestion of the real human emperor had made Uncle Shun, Aunt Yan, and Shun Yaya raise their heads. Though a puppet vessel is expensive to be made, it can still be made, and its compatible with all kinds of souls as long as the correct runes and formations are engraved in it.

Likewise, they donʼt have to worry about its lifespan as long as the soul exists; it can be replaced anytime. As expected, the family of threeʼs depression turns to hope.

Uncle Shun exclaims, ”Thatʼs right! A puppet vessel can be made! I can gather the materials for it!”

”Darling, I will help too!” said Aunt Yan.

Shun Yaya excitedly said, ”I am as well!”

”But first you need to make sure that his soul still exists. Little girl, are you sure that those men took your brotherʼs soul away?” asked Wang Xiajie.

Shun Yaya said, ”Yes, I definitely saw it! Before I lost consciousness, I saw them extract my brotherʼs soul from his body after doing as they wished!”

Anger once again pained her face as she recalled those scenes she would never forget in her life. Those evil cultivators had made her watch how they tortured her brother before finally killing him. They said it was the request of her evil fiancé, and he loathes him for this.

Hei Xiaojing said, ”That is good. If they took his soul, that means they have a use for it. It would take a long time to kill a cultivatorʼs soul as they had ways to protect themselves in such a state. You should hurry and take back his soul as soon as possible.”

”I know. Thank you, Xiao An. If not for you, we wonʼt have a way to bring my brother back to life,” said Shun Yaya as she held the younger manʼs hand.

She was actually surprised by how disfigured the appearance of this young man is, but knowing that it was just an illusion, he didnʼt try to peer through this veil of illusion just to see his face. He knew that, like his cousin, there must be a reason for him to hide his face. Her mother and father told him the circumstances this young man had suffered and pity him for suffering such a fate.

After all, he was not only betrayed by his friends; his family was killed, and the house and all the richest of his family were stolen for him. Itʼs no wonder he wanted to hide his face as he might get recognized by those bastards and wanted to take his life in the end.

Shun Yaya said, ”Xiao An, if someone bullies you, even my cousin, tell me! I will support you!”

”Why would I bully him?” asked Wang Xiajie in disbelief.

Seeing the face of incredulity on Wang Xiajie, the others couldnʼt help but laugh at him. They rarely saw such foolish expressions on this noble man. Moreover, his reaction is like a statement, as if he had no reason to bully Hei Xiaojing. Just the fact that this man is the originalʼs ex-husband, he also might be his wifeʼs incarnation.

The group ate lunch together. Afterwards, Uncle Shun, Aunt Yan, and Shun Yaya took their leave. They had too many things to do. First, they need to investigate the evil cultivators and their plot. Second is to find the soul of Shun Wuyun, and third, find the bastard, An Ziwei, who killed Shun Wuyun and plotted against Shun Yaya.

Shun Yaya had recovered nicely thanks to the healing of the God of Void plus pills she got from her parents. She immediately found her brotherʼs friends and told them what truly happened that day. These friends were not simply friends; they are her brotherʼs sworn brothers. With their help, finding traces of An Ziwei would be done faster.

As for Wang Xiajie and Hei Xiaojing, who remained in the mansion, they still treated each other as normal, though more formal than when the family of three was around.

Wang Xiajie asked, ”Your face is currently slowly returning due to the changes in the fake human emperor in the capital. It seems he had done something that made those ministers and officials lose hope towards him.”

”I have no plans on returning to the capital or taking back the throne. I wanted to love freely as you do. Canʼt I stay here?” asked Hei Xiaojing, as he was a bit afraid of meeting Wang Xiajieʼs eyes. He is a bit terrified that maybe this man might throw him away once he sees through him more than he is showing.

However, he is afraid of something that would never happen. After all, in the eyes of the God of Void, he is merely a candidate for his wifeʼs incarnation, but not his wife himself. Thus, this man would not care much about his feelings, even if he saw them or felt them.

Wang Xiajie said, ”You can stay as you wish. I, at least, have no plans of kicking you out of the mansion.”

Upon hearing these words, Hei Xiaojing showed a delighted face. He started realizing that his reaction towards this man before him is completely different when facing the original Wang Xiajie. If he felt extremely bored when talking to the original Wang Xiajie, the current Wang Xiajie had caught his interest.

This man is cold by nature alone, but towards those he seems to have accepted under his wing, he would show kindness yet indifference. He wanted to know what kind of person would be able to receive a passionate response from this cold-hearted person. He actually wanted to try it himself.

Capital. Imperial Palace.

At the human emperorʼs chamber, the puppet who wore the appearance of Wang Xiajie continued to live his life as Wang Xiajie. Now he was acting surprised upon learning that he had shared a bed with the current yet fake human emperor. The latter, who had drugged him, was now full of smiles as he recalled what happened between them last night. It was as if his dream had come true.

Puppet Wang Xiajie glared at the fake human emperor and bellowed, ”What have you done?”

The fake human emperor acted hurt and responded, ”I didnʼt enjoy it alone. You did it yourself as well.”

”You drugged me! Even though I liked you before, you shouldnʼt have done such a thing! You always told me you canʼt love me. What the hell do you truly want to do!?” said the puppet Wang Xiajie.

The fake human Emperor was surprised. He didnʼt expect that the real human emperor actually didnʼt love the precious emperor. Instead, it was the previous emperor who was in love with his male empress. He had always thought that this couple had been deeply in love with one another.

It seems he had been blinded by how the two acted in public and didnʼt expect such a revelation. But this seems to be an opportunity for him to get what he wanted the most. It was actually for Wang Xiajie that he wanted to take over the life of Hei Xiaojing. It was because he deeply loves this man called Wang Xiajie.

The fake human emperor approached him and said, ”You believe if I told you I love? Even if I donʼt like you before, when Iʼve thought that I lost you, I felt going crazy. This is why Iʼve sent that royal decree. This is also why Iʼve sent a lot of people and rewards just to find you. Now that you have come back, there is no need for you to leave.

You can only remain by my side now and rule this world with me!”

”You are… crazy,” said the puppet Wang Xiajie. The feeling of the original Wang Xiajie for his male wife cannot be changed. At least in his eyes, the human emperor before him is real and that this is the person he loves the most.

He thought deeply for a moment, and Wang Xiajieʼs feeling of love for Hei Xiaojing is overwhelming for a puppet like him. Thus, he indulged in it as Wang Xiajie would have chosen at this moment. He reached out a hand and pulled the fake human emperor into his embrace. This is how the original Wang Xiajie would have acted if he learned that the person he loves had finally returned his feelings.

Experience exclusive tales on empire

Sigh~

”Okay, I will stay by your side,” said puppet Wang Xiajie as he portrayed how the original would react in this situation. Wang Xiajie would have accepted if he were still alive. His male empress wasnʼt only the person he loved but also his sole solace.

The fake human emperor also accepts this affection, which he has desired all along. Though he wasnʼt the real human emperor, this is only at this moment. After all, once the curse of life-exchange is completed, he would become Hei Xiaojing; the real Hei Xiaojing would become him. Their lives would be reversed and everything the other owns would be his.

Zhi Yue was munching on popcorn in the system space as he watched the scene before his eyes. He couldnʼt help but comment at the scene.

[These two are both a Drama Queen and a Drama King. Watching them is no different from watching a drama.]

[Warden Yun Ming had sent a message. It seems he will be rejoining us in the capital,] said Zhi Yang.

Zhi Yue said, [Does that mean there is a new mission? What did he say?]

[The mission is to protect the other soul inside the fake human emperor,] answered Zhi Yang.
