Chapter 406: 9.25 Second Blue Star – Tragic Lou Lan
Continuation to the scene at the Underground Basement.
Lou Ming waited until the man finished his bed activities. The man on the bed had an extremely handsome face. His features are beyond what normal human beings possess, the ethereal aura he emits makes him even more inhuman. His long black hair dangles behind his back. His skin is white all over under the light it glitters like gemstones. His thin almond-shaped eyes were narrowed in satisfaction as his lips were arc in an evil smirk. Waiting on the side is Lou Ming and beside him his son, Lou Lan is dazed-looking like a love-struck fool at the handsome evil being.
Meanwhile, the young man under him had long fainted and there’s traces left on the skin leaving numerous marks of bites and bruises. The man upon finishing his deed cleaned up while ignoring the presence of the two who just arrived. He lazily wears his pure black robe on him covering his muscular build but lets his long white down casually behind him. Once he got his fulfillment he threw away his partner who was overused and lost all of his life energy, instantly becoming a corpse. The smell of sex lingers in the area and with just a wave of his hands it fades.
Then he sat by the edge of his bed looking down at the father and son below him. On his handsome face is a small smile but his face remains cold and indifferent. Lifeless and evil.
“These sacrifices you gave me are too unsatisfactory,” said the evil being named Ye Gui
The clan leader fell on his knee and pulled his son with him. Greeting the evil being with his greatest respect.
“Lou Ming greets the Ancestor.” Said the current clan leader of the Lou Family.
Lou Lan on the other hand continues to stare at the evil man with a dazed state like he was bewitched by a demon fox unable to free himself of his lovestruck trance. This evil man is called Ye Gui. Ye Gui glances at Lou Lan making the latter flinch in astonishment but sadly the former doesn’t seem that much interested even if the young man’s physique is a bit unique.
He moved his gaze after a few seconds, completely uninterested in Lou Lan. The disdain and indifference was the only thing that can be found within those crimson eyes. Lou Lan on the other hand felt despair seeing his unconcerned gaze.
“What do you need?” asked Ye Gui.
“Ancestor, Lou Ming brought to you my son, Lou Lan. In all the generations of our Lou bloodline, this child’s talent and physique are the highest.” Said Lou Ming.
The evil being once again moved his crimson eyes and stared at Lou Lan’s figure looking at the thing which made this mortal unique as Lou Ming says. His crimson irises were tainted with contempt as he narrowly observes this young man whose eyes were clouded with lust and desire, he had obviously fallen for his charm as every other mortal does. He is like the other mortal that was given to him, shallow and greedy. But he still noticed the slight golden aura only him but this is not enough for him to be totally moved. He only needs to move his hand secretly to take away the golden aura that lingers on Lou Lan’s body.
Ye Gui raised one of his eyebrows and looked at Lou Ming with a mocking gaze. “Surname Lou, are you playing with this deity?” but Lou Ming could feel the man’s anger through his cold voice.
“W-What does the a-ancestor mean?” replied Lou Ming while trembling. He couldn’t understand how he made this powerful evil man mad.
Ye Gui replied, “This child indeed has a unique physique but this is not the rarest physique among your descendants.”
“…???…” Lou Lan looked at the man with a bewildered expression.
“Do not tell me you didn’t notice those two children with special Yin Physiques. One of them even possessed the rarest Supreme Yin Physique that complements me the best. The other one is not bad as well as he possesses a Three Yin Physique. Where are those two children who are of your direct bloodline? Lately, I no longer feel their presence within your territory.”
The confused Lou Ming couldn’t understand what the man was saying. “Ancestor… Lou Ming doesn’t understand what you mean? What children? Among my children, only Lou’er possesses a special physique. I have two illegitimate sons, but one is a fool and the other is only average talent.”
“Are you fooling his deity!? A fool and average talent? Among your descendants, only those two were inborn with Yin Yang eyes plus a special yin physique. Their talents are above what that thing besides you have. You previously treated a mere furnace then the two inborn talents. Do you have a brain, Lou Ming!?” admonished Ye Gui.
Once they heard Ye Gui’s rebuke the father and son had different reactions. While Lou Ming showed expressions of disbelief and shock, Lou Lan on the other hand showed the reaction of stunned, envy, and jealousy instead. Seeing his reaction Ye Gui knew that the young man knew about his half-siblings’ rare talents.
Lou Ming was stunned, “Eh? Xue Hua and Xue Yan are inborn possessors of special physique and Yinyang eyes?!”
Lou Lan’s thoughts, ‘I knew that Xue Yan has the sight, but never would I have expected that both Xue Yan and Xue Hua were born with Yinyang eyes and possess special physiques as well!? I should have killed them in the past!!! Those Illegitimate bastards!!!’
Observing Lou Lan in silence, Ye Gui noticed that this boy emits a familiar aura on him. It’s the aura of that man he hates the most. Ye Gui’s face suddenly becomes ugly. Lou Lan floated in the air to his hands. Ye Gui grabbed Lou Lan but his neck as his expression turned ugly revealing his real face as a Yaogui. White dry face like a corpse and eyes full black like a fierce ghost. Seeing his handsome face turned like those hungry ghosts, Lou Lan screamed as he struggled from his grip.
“AAAAAAHHHHHH!!! Ghost! MONSTER! Save me. Dad! Save me!!!” yelled Lou Lan as he struggles from Ye Gui’s clutches unfortunate no matter how much a mortal fights against an immortal, the weak cannot slay the strong.
Frowning Ye Gui bellows, “Why do you have that bastard’s aura around you!?”
“Gyaa~ Dad save me!” shouted Lou Lan as his face showed immense fear.
Lou Ming on the other hand bows down while trembling, turning completely deaf ears to his former favorite son’s screams.
“If you continue shouting I don’t mind pulling your tongue out.” Threatened Ye Gui whose face returned to being handsome as he held back his anger.
The former arrogant young master finally knew what real fear is after being threatened. He instantly stopped screaming as he felt horrified at the evil man before him. All of a sudden Ye Gui tore his upper clothes and looked at the cursed seal left by the ghost king on his back. He could also see the seals that tried to stop the curse from spreading but such low-quality seals were unstable and incomplete.
“Cursed Seals. Why would the Ghost King give you such a malicious thing? Did you go against the oath of marriage contract you had with him?” said Ye Gui.
The Lou father and son tremble upon hearing his question. Their reactions show that he indeed guessed it right. Lou Lan thought of something and lied through his teeth.
“N-No I didn’t. He… T-The Ghost… K-King didn’t want me… He took Xue Hua instead and… and threw me back with t-this curse.”
“Xue Hua? Is that the child with hints of gold on his pure white hair? That boy with exquisite beauty.” Said Ye Gui with a sweet yet longing smile. His reaction is as if he’s thinking of his lover that he had missed for a very long time.
It was Lou Ming who answered. “Y-Yes.”
Tsk! Ye Gui clicked his tongue as he let go of Lou Lan making him fall on the ground of flesh and blood. “He even stole my prey. That boy is the one who possessed the Supreme Yin Physique. An extremely rare delicacy. Someone that is destined to be mine and you dare to give him away!!!”
“What does ancestor wish to do?” asked Lou Ming.
“Go visit that bastard. Tell him that Xue Hua is this Ye Gui’s chosen bride. Bring that thing below instead. That was supposed to be his bride in accordance with the oath he had written before. Even he couldn’t go against the heavenly laws.” Said Ye Gui. “Remember you must make sure that my chosen wife is unharmed by anything. If he saw traces of injuries on his skin, your Lou Clan would cease under the hand of this deity!”
“Yes, Ancestor!” Replied Lou Ming as his eyes could help but wonder about Lou Lan who is supposed to be his sacrifice for tonight. “How about this child?”
Not even glancing at Lou Lan, “Give it to you. I don’t need it. You can share it among the others. Now scram!” said Ye Gui as he threw them away from his place.
After getting thrown out of the underground basement, Lou Ming and Lou Lan returned to the main mansion. As soon as they entered the interior of the house, a group of elders came to welcome them. They were waiting for the news about what their ancestor had decided but seeing Lou Lan following behind the clan leader the faces of the elders turned ugly.
“Clan Leader, did the ancestor didn’t take a liking to the scion?” asked one of the elders.
Lou Ming only glances at his youngest son before answering. But unlike his usual pampering gaze, his eyes, when he looked at Lou Lan, were completely cold. Lou Lan noticed his father’s changes but couldn’t understand why. Only then did he remember what happened in that basement, his father going to sacrifice him to that evil being who feeds pleasure and desires but sadly that monster is only interested in Xue Hua and not him. He was even called a furnace without him understanding his current situation.
Lou Ming, “The ancestor didn’t want him. He wanted Xue Hua instead. The orders were to send Lan’er to the Ghost King as his ghost bride and take back Xue Hua.”
The elders of the clan didn’t expect this result. The reason they’ve treated Lou Lan with such care is because of the possibility of him becoming that being’s future bride who would have thought that the Ancestor of their Lou Clan to dislike the once they’ve carefully catered and wanted that fool who was thrown out of the Clan.
“That… but there is no way the ghost king would…”
“Are you a fool!? Don’t you remember that the Ghost King had made an oath with the Heavenly Laws?”
“Isn’t the oath that the Ghost King shall receive a bride from Lou Clan in exchange for his protection?”
“It means we have the choice to give him someone from the Lou Clan. As long as we are giving, he has no other choice but to accept it.”
“That is unless he wishes for the Heavenly Laws to give him punishment.”
“The ancestor said to bring back Xue Hua. While you’re at it, bring back Xue Yan as well.” Said Lou Ming.
“Clan Leader how about Lan’er?” asked an elder.
“The Lord said you can share. It’s not like the Ghost King would accept him away. You can have him.” said Lou Ming as he walked back inside the mansion ignoring his supposed-to-be beloved son.
Lou Lan, seeing that his father is treating him no worse than trash, fell in despair as he saw the group of elders looking at him like some rechargeable battery to level up their cultivation. For the first time in his life, he saw the usual doting eyes of the elders he grew up with to be filled with lust and excitement as they stared at him. That night Lou Lan’s life turned into a nightmare. Pulled in endless pain and disgusting lust. He could remember how many men had topped him that night. All he could remember is the disgusting feeling of domination and agony. He lost his purity to a bunch of beasts in the human body.
Meanwhile back to the basement, Ye Gui was bathing at the manmade river within his territory. He unrobes himself and entered the river. Unlike what he looks like when he showed himself in front of the Lou Clan’s Clan Leader, his appearance suddenly change as he washed his face. On the reflection of the water show a familiar appearance that is similar to the Ghost King. No, it is more correct to say that this evil entity’s face is a mirror image of Ye Xiajie’s original appearance. But unlike Ye Xiajie’s obsidian irises this man’s eyes were crimson red as if dyed in the blood itself.
Without any expression on his face, Ye Gui caressed a black snowflake insignia under his left eye.
“Who the hell are you that you are able to tie your soul with me? This Deity is someone, not even the Origin God could control. I wonder how did you a little one who is a mere fragmented soul do such a thing. Truly interesting~” murmured Ye Gui as he could see the reflection of Xue Hua and Xie Mo’s interaction on the water. His eyes were intently looking at Xue Hua’s figure.
