I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot [BL]
11.119 First Green Star - Punishment World: 'Purgatory' (16)
Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie held each other's hands as they entered the mansion expanded by space elements. Even if the interior of the house is just a simple nipa hut from the outside, the interior is grander than the Imperial Palace of the olden times. At least the ancient palace from before wouldn't be made from gold, but the one before them happens to be one. From the pillar of the house to the carpet, walls, and the ceiling everything is made of gold. This shows how wealthy and extravagant the owner of this place is.
Despite all the riches served before their eyes, Hei Anjing and Ye Xijaie remain unmoved. They are Immortals after all, why would mortal things move them? They looked around and found a normal-looking courtyard facing a garden made of wisteria.
Sitting at the stone table enjoying his tea is an old man with a dignified bearing? His back was straight like a rod and sat at the stone chair with an aloof gaze and aura. Just his poise and presence alone show his standing as someone from a noble family. This old man wears a white and dark green robe on his waist and a black belt that matches the color of his shoes.
If one could stare at this old man's eyes closed, those silver irises were very like Hei Anjing's eye color whenever his emotions were at their peak. The shade of moonlight. Silver or gray irises are family features that the Hei Clan possess. This old man is the old patriarch of the Hei Clan. He is the father of Hei Anjing's father and Hei Jue's father. In short, his grandfather in biological means.
His name is Hei Mo.
Hei Mo spoke without turning around to look at his two guests and instead said, "You've arrived. Come over and join this old man for tea."
Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie fearlessly joined the old man on the stone table. Ye Xiajie also served his wife a cup of tea from the table. For an Old God-like Hei Mo, most of his things were rare and expensive and Ye Xiajie was satisfied with the purity of the tea the old man had prepared for them.
Ye Xiajie spoke with a gentle expression, "Baby, this is great. It's a sweetened version you will like. Have a cup."
Hei Anjing didn't speak a word but still drank the tea his husband had served him. He was expecting the usual extremely bitter taste the old man loves but unexpectedly this minty flora and honey-flavored tea is something he would like. He was a bit surprised to taste such a kind of tea from his old grandfather.
"Hm. Not bad," commented Hei Anjing.
His words of complement are natural as Hei Anjing as a foodie wouldn't hold back his tongue when it comes to food and drinks.
Ye Xiajie is always happy whenever he sees his wife happy. He didn't forget to pull some tea snacks from his storage. He pulled some ordinary-looking ones, salty ones, and placed the sweetened version in front of his wife. He also started feeding him without caring for the others, especially ignoring the old man sitting with them.
Hei Mo silently observes the couple before him. His eyes would linger longer at Hei Anjing. Seeing his grandson being able to smile, looking as if he enjoys food, and flirting so openly like a normal person made him happy yet sad.
He is happy because Hei Anjing is living well right now. Even though this annoying God of Void is a lot older than his Grandson he loves him with all his heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYet at the same time sad because he could also see that his state is not good. He was blaming himself all this time. Why did he save that ingrate just so he could harm his grandson like this? He should have let that bastard (Ye Mo) die.
Hei Mo's thoughts at the moment, 'No. It wasn't just the Ye Gui Race's fault. A few hundred years ago, I was also a thankless person that was full of greed. I had used my own family and clan just for power and even wanted to use my youngest grandson's connection to the Regal Mo Family for power.
In the end, the power becomes something unachievable. My only friend also died. When my friend asked me to save his son I did so even by becoming the enemy of the Mo Clan. In the end, that bastard becomes the enemy that targets the life of Hei Anjing.
The current state of my youngest grandson is the fruit of my sins. I should have been satisfied with what I had before. Now I have nothing but this empty domain all for myself.'
Even Hei Mo didn't notice he was dazed for a moment after he had averted his gaze from his grandson until a plate of less salted herb biscuits appeared in his line of sight. Slender white fingers were pushing it to his side. He was stunned for a moment.
He only heard Ye Xiajie saying,
"Baby, don't give that old man any food. He is an enemy. An enemy."
"It's fine. Calm down, my love."
"No~ let's just ignore him, okay?
"No. He's an elder."
While the married couple was bickering like a teenage couple, he looked at the plate of biscuits given to him by his grandson with eyes full of guilt. Never had he once treated this youngest grandson of his, warmly in the past. Maybe because the second son that he was most proud of had left his side to join this side.
Hei Mo finally spoke out as he looked at Hei Anjing with a calm gaze. It wasn't the former expression he had seen before. The Hei Anjing he met before only looks cold, emotionless, and expressionless. Like a living doll with no soul or emotions. A block of ice that cannot be melted by anything.
Not one who could stare back at him with calmness and lively eyes like the one in front of him.
Hei Mo asked, "You hate me do you, child?"
"Yes and No," replied Hei Anjing.
That answer of his confuses the old man before him. Ye Xiajie remained quiet as he let the grandfather and grandson talk on their own.
With his voice slightly trembling, Hei Mo asked, "W-What do you mean?"
"All the beings I hate except for Ye Mo are dead. For those who I hate, they would surely meet death under my blade. I don't hate you completely and do not like you so much either. My feelings for you are neutral because... Father hates you for trying to harm Dad yet at the same he loves you as his family.
My feelings are the same now. But before you've caused harm to Dad I'm sure I like you. It just that during those times my emotions are still frozen because I haven't met A'Xia at that time and all my memories when I was a baby were sealed by Uncle Si."
Hei Mo could somehow understand his youngest grandson's words. After all, he knew about the bloodline of the Mo family and their characteristics.
'The only good thing about their bloodline's characteristics is their devotion and loyalty to their family. Since their numbers are too little there is a family-oriented type of clan. On the other hand towards those outside their family, the Mo Clan are inherently high IQ, cold-hearted by nature, and merciless. Is there something else I do not know about their bloodline?' Thoughts of Hei Mo.
Ye Xiajie knew more about his wife's bloodline. He used to hate the Mo family before but because of this, he knew things about their bloodline clearer than the others.
"Old man, did you not know? A Mo descendant who hasn't found their other half is the cruelest and ruthless being in all realms," said Ye Xiajie. "They could even match me in my former days~"
Hei Mo with black lines forming on his face said, "Explain further."
"Without their other half, their hearts are frozen. Their emotions and feelings are nonexistent and... they could not recognize anyone else except for those connected to them by blood directly. Like you said before, a living doll." said Ye Xiajie.
"They are much more dangerous than me since he couldn't feel anything. Most of their actions during those times are just based on rational thinking. They are no different from machines."
"They have a high pain tolerance. So even if you torture them you wouldn't get any response as they are used to any kind of pain. Plus they have immortality, so as long as you can make sure to kill them without any traces, even a single strand of hair, then it would be hard to kill them."
"The most annoying one is that they are too intelligent. It would take a few lifetimes for an ordinary god to understand the meaning of their actions. You can even say they are crafty. That stupid tyrant! Hiss~ Baby, why did you pinch me?"
The Lord God of Nether System could not get along with his brother-in-law regardless of marrying his wife. Hei Anjing reached out a hand to his husband's side and pinched mercilessly as he heard him talk badly of their bloodline and his Uncle Baojun.
Hei Anjing replied, "Uncle Siwang said to pinch you every time you talk trash about Uncle Baojun, his wife."
Rubbing his pinched waist, "Hiss~ Siwang, that idiot." said Ye Xiajie while mumbling grumbles of nonsense of his own. then once again look at the Old man in front of him and said, "A Mo would only become humanlike when they met their other half as they were their everything."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What would happen if they lost their memories of their other half?" asked Hei Mo.
Hei Anjing answered, "I would return to the state as if I never met that A'Xia who could melt my frozen heart. Cruel and Cold-hearted."
"I see," Hei Mo who knew more about the Trial of Revival than what Ye Xiajie knew, knows what would happen after the second trial ends. He could only look at Ye Xiajie with eyes saying 'condolences'.
Ye Xiajie felt uncomfortable under his gaze but didn't openly comment as Hei Anjing once again spoke out.
"I will forgive you and stop hating you if you ask for Dad's forgiveness for what you have done. Moreover, Dad misses you too much."
Hei Mo, on the other hand, was relieved to hear that his youngest grandson doesn't hate him as much as he thought. There are traces of tears from the corner of his eyes yet he looks happier than before.
"That's good. It is already time that I apologize to Mo Yue. This old man is no longer confused by power as of now. Can I ask you what happened to the Hei Clan after this old man disappeared?" asked Hei Mo.
Hei Anjing nodded his head and said, "After Grandfather had left with your closest aides, the branch family had revolted. Uncle Hei (Father of Hei Jue) had taken the reins while you were gone but a lot of your clansmen did not accept him due to his lack of cultivation. The trickery of those branch members was a bit too much. They poisoned Uncle Hei until he passed away."
Hei Mo's anger ignited when he heard those dogs of the branch family dare to kill his son while he was away.
"I shouldn't have accepted those bastards just to use them as tools to expand my power. Now, this old man even lost a son because of my foolishness. Yan'er, please forgive this useless father of yours." mourn Hei Mo upon hearing he lost his eldest son, Hei Siyan, to those parasites.
Hei Anjing continued to tell the past events that happened in the Hei Clan. "My father returned to the Hei Clan when he heard the news about Uncle Hei's passing. He was so sad to see his elder brother end up in such a way. The only remaining direct bloodline of Hei right now is only I, father, and Jue-ge, who is the only son of Uncle Hei. To protect Jue-ge, my father and I decided to use brute force. We killed everyone that was involved in Uncle Siyan's death and placed his only son as the new patriarch of the Hei Clan."
"You and Sian did well. Those kinds of men don't deserve to exist!" said Hei Mo. "How is your father?"
"Father is fine. He is still working on the whole array within Vearth. He and dad are making a huge array, one that would allow a whole world to jump into space if they completed it." answered Hei Anjing.
Hei Mo asked, "Why are they doing something like that?"
"Uncle Siwang and Uncle Baojun said that... The world eater race had a prophecy of it appearing in the near future. There is no exact date but according to the changes in matters in the universe, it might be real. That's why they are working on a huge teleportation array that surrounds the whole Vearth." said Hei Anjing.
When the existence of World eaters had been mentioned, not only Hei Mo but even the indifferent Ye Xiajie had a dark expression on their faces. World Eaters are black holes whose coordinates had been random and would appear and disappear on whims. It took a hundred Immortal Gods to kill or destroy one.
Hei Mo murmured, "World Eater... Why would that savage race even exist when they were extinct thanks to the Origin and the End?"
