I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot [BL]
9.6 Second Blue Star - No! All mine... Not selling anymore.
He was already halfway to watching through these memories. He had seen how much of his interaction with his wife, Hei Anjing, feels awkward and cold. Because of Hei Anjing's standing as the Youngest Celestial Lord, a mere Nether God would always treat the latter with politeness.
He always avoids meeting those exquisite silver eyes and lowers his head in respect to his superior but with Gui Xiajun's perspective, he was able to see his wife's disappointment and sadness every time he avoided him.
Seeing his wife would sometimes quietly reach out to him only to lower it at the last second or bite his lower lips as if stopping himself to call out to him and even that lonely back when Hei Anjing can only leave every time he comes to the Nether System to see him.
He couldn't help but blame his foolishness and stupidity at that time. The real reason he is avoiding Hei Anjing is that his heart would beat so fast in the presence of others. He would avoid his gaze as he might not stop himself from staring rudely at such a beautiful person as Hei Anjing.
That was the first time he had experienced what being shy means but his expression and stone-faced made it look like he doesn't care. This might be the reason why there are times that Hei Anjing had stopped coming over to the Nether System with the excuse of seeing his parents just to see him. He regretted it badly when Hei Anjing suddenly stopped visiting one day. He only learned from his master, the God of Punishment, Hei Sian who is also the father of Hei Anjing, who told him that his son had suddenly started focusing on his job as an executioner and rarely went home the last time he came over here.

Under the bridge.
The two old Celestial Masters, Master Yi and Master Ling, Xue Hua, and their customer for that day, Wen Ya, had finally finished eating the last chicken wing in the box. Once they had finished eating the business resumed, Wen Ya, also asked Xue Hua for divination.
Xue Hua spoke, "You want me to look through your fortune? Didn't Grandpa Ling help you with it already? Moreover, my service fee is more expensive than theirs. It would depend on how much I can see. Even then, as sure you want me to count yours?"
Wen Ya nods his head seriously, ever since this young lad arrived the atmosphere in the area had subtlety changed. It was so hot just now which is normal in the middle of the day but when Xue Hua arrived the temperature in the area dropped and the sun had moved away from above their heads as if fearing this little guy.
He could also see that even though these two celestial masters acted as con artists when they first arrived in front of this young man they were open and free. That was obviously their real face and for how much he observes these two Old Celestial Masters have the cranky temperament. It means they choose their client and cons those who aren't worthy. Though he didn't know how they could differentiate their customers from each other, Wen Ya had a feeling that he was treated like a real customer.
"Yes, please see my fortune, Little Ancestor," replied Wen Ya with a friendly smile.
Master Yi murmured, "No wonder this man has merits. Not only is he good-natured, but he also has good eyes..."
"Shut up, Yi. Don't disturb the little brat!" scolded Master Ling.
Master Yi, "... QAQ..."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXue Hua sighed and accepted Wen Yan's request silently. Then he lightly moves his gaze on him and observes everything on him. When shivered as those pairs of aureate eyes were on him. He felt those calm yet cold eyes seeing through his very soul. He also caught a glint of silver flashes within the gold which startled not only him but also the two Celestial Masters beside them.
Master Ling whispered, "Divine Energy!?" Before he could speak more words a serious Master Yi gently covered his partner's mouth and shook his head indicating for him to not mention it anymore. Divine Energy, only those who are either enlightened or a God himself can use one. This is after the world energy that keeps the star or planet from living.
It only took three minutes before Xue Hua slowly closed his eyes and averted it from Wen Ya. It was only when those eyes were gone on him that Wen Ya took a deep breath to resume his erratic breathing. He could feel both his palms and back covered in sweat.
Wen Ya's thoughts, 'What just happened!?'
Xue Hua took another drink from his backpack and lightly sipped it, once the sweet and a bit bitter taste of Dark mocha touched his tongue that the cold aura around him subsided.
SIPS~
He reached out his phone showing a QRcode for payment and said, "25 Million for two lives and the source of your bad luck."
Wen Ya hurriedly brought out his phone and transferred some Xue Hua to ask him. Once Xue Hua put down his phone he took two protective talismans from Master Yi's robes and placed it in front of Wen Ya. He also lends him a needle.
"Prick your finger. Blood drops each. I need the name of your eldest son and daughter," said Xue Hua.
Wen Ya was stunned to hear from this young ancestor's mouth about his first and second children. He had never mentioned his family ever since he went to this place. He followed Xue Hua and pricked the tip of his thumbs and watched a magical scene of two droplets of blood floating in the air. Even the two old masters were dumbfounded.
Xue Hua asked, "Names?"
"My son is named Wen Ke and my daughter is called Wen Ruo," responded Wen Ya.
The blood moves as it expands into strokes. The name of the two children of Wen Ya was written on the backs of the protective talisman.
Xue Hua nonchalantly passed the two specialized Protective talismans to Wen Ya and said, "If it burns means your two children faced a deadly situation but were saved. That protective talisman is connected by bloodline through yours.
It will only protect your children's life once. Once it turns to ashes it means their blood disaster had happened. I suggest that you call them back home.
As for the source of your bad luck, You can investigate a man named Wen Sui. Thankfully, the one behind him is just a weak Celestial Master."
When the name Wen Sui was spoken, Wen Ya's face turned pale in disbelief. That was after his half-brother whom he grew up with. Seeing his expression Xue Hua chose to ignore it as he completed his request while Master Yi and Master Ling reacted otherwise.
Master Ling said, "It's your choice to believe or not. Just investigate him and you will have your truth."
"You are lucky. 20 million for two lives is a bargain~" said Master Yi. "The 5 million is just a service fee for a specialized protective talisman for your children. Do you know how much those Talismans in your hands are? Especially one with a blessing..."
SIPS~
All of a sudden, his brother's low-key yet luxurious car was driven over like a sports car. When Xue Hua saw that his eyes widened as if he wanted to run away but as soon as the car had stopped a friendly man with black hair and orange eyes approached the about to run Xue Hua and bear hugs him.
It was his elder brother's friend Ou Ya. A lawyer from the same firm as Xue Yan and the latter's childhood friend and distant cousin by blood.
"Xiao Hua! Did miss Ya-gege ba~" said Ou Ya while squeezing Xue Hua in his embrace who was currently in the process of dying due to suffocation.
The kind Master Yi reminded Ou Ya about the poor Xue Hua who is out of breath. "Young man, the little brat is about to die, you should let go."
"Oh my~" Ou Ya let's go to Xue Hua who started coughing as soon as he was freed.
Xue Hua glared at Ou Ya and complained, "Are you trying to... Kill me!?"
"Of course not, darling~ I love you and Yanyan the most~ Yanyan told me to pick you up. Come with Ya-gege I'll buy you some cream puffs on the way..."
The mentioned cream puffs Ou Ya had spoken about was the newly opened popular store in the city which is extremely expensive yet very delicious. Xue Hua who is a foodie loves eating that as well but he doesn't have money for it.
"It will be your treat?" asked Xue Hua.
Ou Ya grins happily and said, "Yes, this big brother will even buy you the store if you wanted it, Xiao Hua, ~"
"I don't need the store. But a few boxes of cream puffs would do," said Xue Hua as his backpack was already in Ou Ya's hands and he turned around to look at the two grandpas. "I will go home early today. Those protective talismans and lucky amulets, please sell them for me. You can get half of the total and give the rest to me tomorrow. By the way, what do you want to eat for breakfast?"
"Noodles and dumplings," responded Master Ling.
Master Yi said, "Fried pancakes."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Okay. I will bring some for you. I will go home now. See you tomorrow ba~" said Xue Hua as he went in the passenger's seat with Ou Ya personally putting the seat belt on him only then Ou Ya drove away.
Those who have been left behind even wave their hands. Wen Ya who was silently staring at the talismans with his children's names was still dazed. That weird scene of his blood floating and all was enough to shock him silly. Master Yi and Master Ling understood his reaction, what Xue Hua did is something only those who have full control over their abilities can possess but the latter isn't simple at all he could count fortune as if seeing the future itself. He also could use the purest energy to create high-grade talismans, etc. He is like an immortal from the books instead of a human being.
Master Yi waves his hands in front of the dazed Wen Ya and says, "Customer~ Hey, if you are done here you should go home and call your children back to him as the little brat said."
Wen Ya spoke, "Are there still extra of these Protective Talismans made by the little ancestor?"
Master Yi averted his eyes and wanted to ignore the question while Master Ling elbowed his stomach, gesturing him to sell some more of the protective talismans to the wealthy customer.
"Ugh~ these talismans would sell more expensive if auctioned through~" murmured Master Yi as he pulled one more Protective Talisman in his robe and two Luck Amulets. "Only these! I will not sell the rest. The lazy little brat only made 5 protective talismans and 5 Luck Amulets. You already bought three talismans and these two amulets for you and your wife. That stupid customer before you still owe us a few millions he should have experienced and safely passed his disaster. I only have one protective talisman and three amulets to auction ba~"
Wen Ya smiled shyly and said, "Can... Can I buy a few more please?" His eyes are still staring at the last yellow strip of talisman in Master Yi's hand and those wooden lotus-shaped luck amulets.
"NO! All mine... I'm not selling anymore!" said Master Yi as he was hit on the head and the things in his hands were all stolen.
Master Ling placed two talismans and five lucky amulets in front of Wen Ya and said, "The remaining Protective Talismans isn't tailored for one especially like the ones Xue Hua gave yours. But as long as you keep it close to you at all times it would be effective. As for the amulet, you can hang it at your home or keep one by your side. It will be helpful in your business and things like that.
The little brat sold the customized talisman for ten million each. These two would be five million each instead. As for the amulets, a million each. Total of 15 Million. Cash or Code?"
Wen Ya pulled out his phone again and said, "Code please.."
Master Ling pulled out a phone and received the payment for the brat which he would transfer later. Wen Ya was about to leave when he remembered that he wanted to thank the young ancestor once he finished the problems on his side.
"I wanted to thank the young ancestor after I cleaned up the things on my side. Would you guys be here every day?" asked Wen Ya.
Master Yi spoke, "Yea, but the brat is in school during weekdays but he is here all day for weekends. He likes sweets. If you are giving him something to buy food he doesn't like money that much. He only needs to collect money as it requires payment to see through fate and the heavens."
Wen Ya nodded his head and said, "Thank you for the advice, Masters. Wen Ya will be back again next time."
"Go be careful on the road," said Master Ling.
Only then did Wen Ya go to his car and drive back home. As soon as he got back he called his eldest son and daughter ordering them to get back home as soon as possible. He also sends some people to secretly investigate his half-brother, Wen Sui as Xue Hua advises him to.
