Chapter 1250: 18.88 First Grey Star - Young One's Mistake.
They spent some time in the open field area before entering the mansion to find the three Heavenly Guardians. However, when they saw the condition of Mu Zang, Lu Wangle, and Mo Xinyue—Mu Zang had a massive blade wound on his back, Lu Wangle had lost an arm, and Mo Xinyue appeared to have lost a lot of blood—most of them were stunned.
Doctor Guang and Doctor Hei, who live nearby, arrived to treat them right away. Fortunately, both of them are not just medical professionals but also possess the ability to heal through aura. Doctor Guang immediately closed the wound on Mu Zang's back, but when he went to reattach Lu Wangle's arm, he was unable to locate the missing piece.
"Heavenly Guardian Lu, where is your arm? Please give it to me so I can reattach it," Doctor Guang said.
Heavenly Guardian Lu Wangle said, "It's fine. Just forget about it. That arm had been eaten by the one that bit it off. It's gone. Just close up the wound."
Though he can reattach limbs, Doctor Guang is not yet able to regenerate limbs; such a skill is beyond the capabilities of humans, he said, but he refrained from speaking.
"Senior, how about a prosthetic? I am good with those," Doctor Hei asked.
However, Ye Jieye spoke up before Lu Wangle could say anything, and with great strides, he materialized before the three of them; a gold glow emerged from his hand beneath everyone's eyes, a spell circle appeared beneath the three injured people, and a powerful sensation of light elements surged through the room, instantly restoring all three to their previous state of health.
While Lu Wangle, who had lost a limb beneath everyone's eyes, had grown that missing arm back to perfection, as if he had never lost an arm at all, Mu Zang and Mo Xinyue, who appeared to have lost a lot of blood and were pale and sickly, felt instantly energised, and their complexion turned rosy.
Doctor Hei couldn't help but exclaim, like everyone in the room except those who knew that Ye Jieye was capable of healing.
"What the hell...!!??"
"His arm grew back! How is that possible!?" Doctor Guang was the most surprised. He saw the process of regeneration up close. The first thing to regenerate is the arm bone, then the muscle and flesh, and lastly the skin. It looks like a brand-new arm.
Everyone turned to face Ye Jieye, and was astounded to see his icy eyes, which were brimming with secret rage. The glinting scarlet flashing in that obsidian made one shudder. No one dared to ask a question.
Ye Jieye spoke, "Jing'er, I'm going to pick Xiao Jing for a bit. Stay here and rest."
"Okay. Return before dinner," Mo Xuejing said as he gave his husband a goodbye kiss. His silence before wasn't because he was scared; he was only a bit stunned by the sudden change in his husband's aura.
Ye Jieye exchanged a kiss with him before leaving, followed by Lu Shang. As for Leica, he stayed with his master's soul fragment, always waiting for his orders.
Everyone in the room heaved as if something heavy had been removed as Ye Jieye vanished. They could not believe that the atmosphere in the room would grow heavy solely because Ye Jieye was in a bad mood; would not they suffocate if he got angry one day?
Doctor Guang continues to check on Lu Wangle's recently grown arm. He checked his muscles, flesh, and even his veins.
"This is amazing. A new arm really grew on Heavenly Guardian Lu. It's a real arm not much different from before. It's just that the mass of the muscle on this new arm is similar to that one that didn't exercise before. I suggest Heavenly Guardian Lu to at least train this arm back to the state you wanted. Just don't overdo it.
This is an arm without powerful muscles like the one on your left."
Doctor Hei also checked, and his diagnosis is the same as that of his brother. "I didn't expect Lord Ye to be a healer himself and someone much more powerful than my stupid brother."
"A'Xia... A'Ye can use all elements, but his proficiency leans more toward fire and darkness. As for other elements, he can use them once or twice a day. Beyond that, it isn't possible as he has no full control," Mo Xuejing asked.
Leica stares at his owner with a meaningful but slightly bewildered expression, having been silently listening to his master's explanation as he knew about the marriage pledge they had fulfilled, allowing them to share their powers.
Mo Xuejing added while looking at Mu Zang. "He told me he also tried healing Grandpa Mu's throat before. When his light elements weren't useful, he decided to go to the Tower of God to cancel out the curse."
Heavenly Guardian Mu Zang said, "No wonder there is a time that brat is so touchy. He is trying to heal me secretly."
"Xue'er, you helped that brat hide it from me!" Mu Zang said.
Mo Xuejing said, "A'Ye says not to tell anyone. He is too lazy to heal anyone, and we have Guang on our side. Why would he move?"
"Indeed, the big boss is lazy in other things except when cooking meals for the boss and their children," Doctor Guang commented.
Heavenly Guardian Lu Wangle said, "Isn't it good for a man to be family-oriented? There is nothing wrong with spoiling his wife and children."
"I am more worried about what he is going to do after he leaves. We definitely won't just be picking up Xiao Jing," Heavenly Guardian Mo Xinyue said.
Mo Xuejing said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. Whatever A'Ye is going to do, that is something those things deserve."

Meanwhile, in the palace, there is a throne room.
When Ye Jieye and Lu Shang came into the throne room without anyone noticing, King Wang Xingmo was preparing for the day when his eldest son, Xingju, would appear to exact revenge. He had to actually plan for something that could happen with that being in the tower involved.
This time, even Nameless, who was hiding in Wang Xingmo's shadow, suddenly appeared; unlike the knights, he simply stood up quietly beside Wang Xingmo, as he felt no malice coming from the dangerous man in front of them. The knights in the room were startled and immediately raised their weapons towards the two men who suddenly appeared.
They tried to control them, but Lu Shang stepped forward and used wind pressure, and the knights were tied down to where they were after being pushed away a little.
Wang Xingmo commanded the knights. "Royal Knights, stand down. Leave the throne room with the ministers for a while."
Without questioning their king's orders, the knights led the ministers out of the throne room, leaving Lu Shang, Ye Jieye, King Xingmo, and Nameless inside. Lu Shang bows down behind his master once more and waits in silence, appearing to be Ye Jieye's faithful guardian.
Knowing the reason behind Ye Jieye's appearance, King Wang Xingmo had anticipated this when the barbarians assaulted the Lu and Mo clans. Ye Jieye must have noticed the wounds inflicted on the three Heavenly Guardians in his family.
Ye Jieye said, "You know what I came for. Give them to me."
"Yes, of course. But I would like to announce their death penalty first before you take them away. Is that alright, Lord Ye?" Wang Xingmo asked. His tone is polite, and he even lowered his level before Ye Jieye. Nameless, who is beside him, also never raised his head to meet his gaze.
Ye Jieye said, "Do you want to let that one in the tower know that you know me? He wouldn't care."
"Lord, you actually know about him." Wang Xingmo's expression turned helpless and despairing.
Ye Jieye added. "He also doesn't care about you, this kingdom, or that heir of his. What he wanted is to see you guys fight because he is bored. Once he gets what he wants, he won't care about anything anymore. You should win, though. That way you can keep the tower if you want to keep your only son alive."
Wang Xingmo didn't expect the words Ye Jieye had told him. As if he already knew what would unfold in the future and that it would still involve him in the end.
"What do you mean?" King Xingmo asked.
Ye Jieye said, "That one will not stay in the tower for too long. But for him to leave his heir must take his place. In short, your son will take over the tower. So regardless whether you win or not, the tower will remain. Even if you kill your son in the end, he will still be able to leave. Isn't it better to let your son take over the tower?
He can become a Demigod overlooking this kingdom or a King as well as a Demigod ruling this kingdom. Either way, your choice would not affect that man."
"Why is it that he can leave unharmed after destroying my royal clan?" Wang Xingmo said.
Ye Jieye sneered. "He destroyed your family, is it? As yourself, with or without the tower, will that greedy father of yours not do what he did before? That only asks, but it's you guys who give the answer. For evil beings, as long as you don't answer, they will remain neutral. Its already by his whims that you brothers can live that day.
Children can hardly overwhelm an adult."
"You've wasted too much of my time. Complete what you must do. By the way, it's already unfair that you have that beside you. Your son will only receive an ability but not direct help like you do."
Ye Jieye turned around and gave Nameless one more look before making his way out of the royal room, with Lu Shang unlocking the door for his master while they waited for them to complete their task.
Wang Xingmo and Nameless had a talk after Ye Jieye and Lu Shang left. King Xingmo understood the nature of the man at his side. As Ye Jieye had reminded him, Nameless is not a mere human but rather a true devil with a contract with himself. He has promised to give him his soul in return for Nameless serving him until the day he dies.
Wang Xingmo asked, "Nameless, do you think what he said is real? That being in the tower doesn't care about us humans."
"It's true. At least in that Lord's case," Nameless replied honestly.
Wang Xingmo asked, "Then why is he doing this? Forcing my family to fight with each other?"
"Master, he is not forcing you guys to fight. But you guys wanted to fight. Like me, it's not possible for me to help you without our contract. So the lord in the tower is the same. It's the Master's wish that makes things right now," Nameless said.
Wang Xingmo fell dazed as he recalled what happened when he first met that being in that tower.

Wang Xingmo remembered the agonizing deaths of the knights they brought with them when their King Father took them to the top floor of the Tower of God years ago, when he was still alive. He is dying in order to defend his King Father and the two of them, Xingmo and Xingyun.
After witnessing his father ordering the deaths of the rest of the knights, the floor of the top level was tainted with blood, and his king father laughed like a madman.
"Hahaha~ my lord evil god, please accept my two children as sacrifices. I will have them fight to death so they can entertain you. Please continue to support my reign in this kingdom."
{What nonsense is this useless piece of sh*t that can't even hear my words? Children fighting is not even interesting. It's better to watch a palace drama than that.}
Wang Xingmo, who at this point is sadly only a boy and has no understanding of the current situation, speaks up to the voice he is hearing when his King Father forces them, the brothers, to fight, even though his King Father could not hear the words the man on the throne was saying.
Young Wang Xingmo shouted, "The palace drama you wanted, I can give. In exchange, please kill my father and save us!"
{How rare~ there is indeed someone foolish to make an exchange with an evil god like me. Well, I'm bored anyway. Let's just say I accept.}
