Chapter 1249: 18.87 First Grey Star - Back to the Capital City
It did not take long for Ye Jieye and his main group to leave the Aurora Glaciers, since they only had to ride on the back of the black dragon. The usual group, along with the two doctors, Guang and Hei, rode on the back of Roi.
The Mo Elder and the Palace Messenger decided to use the car to return, and after they delivered the message to the two heirs, their duties were finished, so they could return to the city at their leisure.
Compared to traveling by land, flying is much faster. It would normally take them a full day or more to return to the capital city by car, but thanks to Roi's ability to fly for hours, they arrived in less than a day.
When they arrived, they were met with a scene of destroyed buildings and roads, made worse by the massive earthquake that left most of the livable space destroyed and emanating a strong smell of blood and rust that even affected Mo Xuejing, just as it had done previously by Ye Jingxia.
Su Jin exclaimed, as he was the first to notice the reaction of Mo Xuejing. "Ah! Your iris, how can it turn red!?" he asked in surprise.
Ye Jieye immediately reacted upon hearing this and covered his beloved's mouth, isolating all the scent around him into a clean one. This immediately allowed Mo Xuejing to regain his sanity.
Mo Xuejing was a bit confused, as if there was a few seconds gap in his memories. "I
... hah? What happened just now? How come I can't remember anything?"
"It's nothing, A'Mo; you are just a bit stressed out. Don't worry. Didn't they say that grandfathers are alive? They should be safe now," Ye Jieye said.
Mo Xuejing felt a little lightheaded and did not notice their reactions, but when they got close to the capital city, they decided to fly directly to the Mo Clan, where they felt the presence of their relatives. Everyone looked at Mo Xuejing strangely, but Ye Jieye gave them a cold warning, and they could only avert their gaze by looking at the side or below.
When they reach the Mo Clan's territory, the destruction is not as bad as it was in the center of the city, but the smell of blood is much stronger. Ye Jieye was grateful that he had isolated a portion of clean air for his wife to breathe, knowing that if he smelled blood, he would not have to awaken another strange physique in her.
He knew that when his wife smelled blood, he would occasionally feel high, and that would greatly increase his interest in fighting and blood, making it difficult to calm him down unless he engaged in a protracted battle.
Frowning, Lu Ming immediately covered his nose. "What the hell is this smell?"
"Rust?" Mo Yuhan was also wearing an indescribable look on his face.
Motion nausea combined with the smell of blood made Su Jin's condition worse. He eventually lost control of his stomach and threw up what he had eaten this morning.
Blergh~
Pukes~
Ji Yoonjun pats Su Jin's back in comfort. As he commented, "This is such a strong scent of blood, as if a hundred beings were forced to bloodlet in this place."
"Seeing one pukes make me do too." Doctor Guang said.
Doctor Hei retorted. "Brother, you're so weak."
"There are also some residues of mashed potatoes and organs. There should be less than a hundred or so," Lu Shang added in a comment.
Leica observed the traces of battle in the area and said, "It seems like a one-sided battle. Traces of ice and darkness elements? This... Is it the young master?"
System Yue and System Yang, who were silent the whole time and hid themselves in their own space as they watched over Ye Jingxia and Anxia finally came out. They are so afraid of chaos and Tun Shizhe. Even though they know that they are their master's fragments, they also know that they are completely different from their master.
Afraid that they will get killed, they can at least hide themselves in space to avoid annoying the two. But they are still closely protecting their young lord and little princess.
A little moon and a little sun hover around Ye Jieye and Mo Xuejing. They can only be seen by outsiders like Ji Yoonjun and the two wardens.
[Milord!(Master!)]
Ye Jieye asked through his thoughts, 'Show me what happened here.'
In front of Ye Jieye, Mo Xuejing, Lu Shang, and Leica, a small screen appeared. Ji Yoonjun, who could see it, pretended to investigate why it was assisting Su Jin in acclimating to the scent of the place. A video recording of the events of the previous night was played; it was the scene of the massacre perpetrated by their young lord, Ye Jingxia. Only Mo Xuejing displayed a shocked expression.
If it were not for the familiar face of his son, he would have assumed that Ye Jingxia was the one murdering the barbarians and laughing like a crazy person.
Mo Xuejing looked at his husband and said, "This is..."
"Crazed Bloodline. One of your bloodline's inherent skills. Your ability to control ice, your ability not to feel pain, your ability to greatly increase your strength and speed whenever you lose yourself to the scent of blood, and my ability to control darkness. These are abilities Xiao Jing is born with. This reaction, it must be his first awakening. That's why he did all that," Ye Jieye explained.
While Mo Xuejing is in a state of disbelief, Lu Ming, Su Jin, and Mo Yuhan, who couldn't see the video, were bewildered by their conversation, but they didn't dare ask about it. Doctor Hei was busy helping his brother up behind them.
Ye Jieye hugged his wife and asked, "You can't believe it? I blocked your sense of smell. Your soul isn't completely, so you shouldn't be able to control it like Xiao Jing. Do you want to see it for yourself?"
"Is it real?" Mo Xuejing asked.
Ye Jieye nodded his head and said, "Do you want to try it?"
"Okay," Mo Xuejing said. He had always been the type to believe only what he felt or saw for himself.
Ye Jieye looked at Lu Shang and Leica. From the two lords' conversation, they knew that Mo Xuejing intended to try using his Crazed Bloodline. Ji Yoonjun carried Su Jin to the roof right away. Lu Shang grabbed Lu Ming and Mo Yuhan while Leica took away the two doctors with him. Ye Jieye and Mo Xuejing used the field together.
Mo Xuejing noticed that everyone had left, and he even saw Ye Jieye snap his fingers to create a barrier around the field. Ye Jieye looked at Mo Xuejing with worry.
He asked, "Are you ready, A'Mo?"
Mo Xuejing nodded his head in agreement. Ye Jieye reached out and playfully pinched his wife's nose.
"What are you doing?" Mo Xuejing asked while glaring at his husband. He thought he was playing around instead of helping him.
"Stop it!"
When Mo Xuejing withdrew his husband's claws from his nose, a powerful smell of blood suddenly attacked his nose, directly impacting his brain. His silver eyes turned deep crimson beneath everyone's gaze, and when he raised his head, a mischievous and evil smile appeared on his beautiful face. He blushed, looking as though the blood scent had made him intoxicated.
"Good smell. A very good smell. A'Ye, play with me~"
In this situation, Mo Xuejing could clearly hear Ye Jieye's heartbeat and the flow of warm blood, which made it go crazy, and he attacked Ye Jieye with such speed that it was impossible for him to control his instincts to make him bleed.
A hand trying to slice Ye Jieye's neck was nonchalantly dodged by the God of Void. He looks at his beloved with a doting yet helpless look.
"Stop playing."
"No, I want to play!" Mo Xuejing said as he increased the number of attacks towards Ye Jieye, obviously losing control of his sanity.
The two are far stronger than each other. Mo Xuejing is merely a soul fragment of Hei Anjing, whereas Ye Jieye's soul is whole. Therefore, Ye Jieye finds it easy to dodge Mo Xuejing's attacks, while other people, such as Mo Yuhan and Lu Ming, find it difficult to follow Mo Xuejing's movements and can only see blurs on the field.
Doctor Guang commented, "This is making me dizzy more."
"Don't watch anymore. How useless!" Doctor Hei said.
Lu Ming said, "How can they be so fast?"
"I can only see after images. Moreover, this state... is the crazed state of our bloodline? How can my cousin suddenly lose control?" Mo Yuhan said.
Su Jin asked, "Is this similar to the berserk state? Can you use it too?"
"No. My bloodline is too thin. I haven't awakened this state, but my cousin is different. His bloodline is the purest. Much purer than the Ancestor. So blood made him awake in this state?" Mo Yuhan mumbles as he continues to watch the show below.
After an hour of sparring, Ye Jieye used time acceleration to exhaust Mo Xuejing, who was upset that he could not make his target spit blood. To calm him down, Ye Jieye let Mo Xuejing slice his right arm.
The two men below were exchanging blows—well, it is actually just one attacking and the other parrying his attacks—but every punch and kick that was blocked left a loud sound, demonstrating how heavy Mo Xuejing's fist is currently.
When his red blood flows, Mo Xuejing's expression turns into an ecstatic one, yet he has mixed worries. Ye Jieye knows that his wife is finally gaining control over his state.
Argh!
Ye Jieye knew why; his beloved, unable to bear to see him suffer, used force to take control of his state, but it was insufficient. Ye Jieye stopped blocking his attack, leaving a trail of wounds on himself that Mo Xuejing had caused.
Mo Xuejing's worried expression grew to the point where it overcame his insanity; and on Mo Xuejing's final attack, in which he was stabbed through Ye Jieye's heart, the latter simply closed his eyes.
Everyone didn't expect Ye Jieye to act this way, making Lu Shang and the rest panic.
Mo Yuhan asked, "What is he doing? Why isn't he blocking the attacks?"
"He... He is trying to force him to control himself by putting himself in danger," Ji Yoonjun commented.
Su Jin retorted, "Is he insane!?"
"Big brother, what to do?" Lu Ming asked as he saw his elder brother's state of trying to stop himself from making a move.
Lu Shang's hands were gripped with great strength, and he was almost trembling. Only when Leica held his hand did he calm down.
Leica said, "Don't worry. Believe in them."
Mo Xuejing's last blow was about to strike Ye Jieye in the heart when his other hand unexpectedly moved to block it, willingly dislocating his own arm.
Crack. Crack!
His crimson eyes went back to silver with a crimson line staring at Ye Jieye as he grabbed his garments. Ye Jieye was shocked and realized that this was not Mo Xuejing but rather his wife, Hei Anjing.
"You... crazy... bastard." Mo Xuejing fell unconscious after these words.
With a startled expression on his face, Ye Jieye embraced him and promptly healed Mo Xuejing, reattaching his wife's dislocated shoulder and giving him a strong hug.
"Jing'er...?" No one heard his whisper except for the unconscious man in his embrace.
After a few minutes, Mo Xuejing once again woke up. This time he no longer lost control over the scent of blood but still felt the effect of Crazed Blood. He can control its activation.
"I really..." He was still a bit dazed until he saw Ye Jieye's face and suddenly headbutted him.
Bonk!
Ye Jieye didn't dodge that attack and saw how angry his wife is, who is now grabbing his collar in anger. "Are you crazy!? Why didn't you dodge it!? Do you want to die under my hand!?" asked Mo Xuejing
"Sorry, A'Mo," Ye Jieye said.
Mo Xuejing felt that his husband's mood wasn't good, but he didn't ask him why he himself was angry. For some reason, he felt so angry but didn't know what to do with this fearless man.
"Promise not to do that again! Do you want me to go crazy for real!?"
"I promise. Don't be angry anymore, Jing'er," Ye Jieye said as he hugged his beloved in his embrace.
Mo Xuejing calmed down, letting the man hug him as if that was the only way to stop their heartbeats. He was used to being called A'Mo or Jing'er by this man; to him, both are his names, so he never wonders about the difference. But now it seems there is truly a difference between the two names, but he still could not understand it, nor did he ask him about it.
