924 14.200 Last Violet Star – An ending Jin Baihua didn’t expect.
While explaining his previous scheme involving the Devil Race to Lu Yi and Lu Er, Jin Baihua didn’t talk in his usual voice. All the mortals and Demons in the vicinity heard it. His revelation astounded even Yun Huaxia and Bai Qiyin who were attempting to exterminate the low and mid-level demons. Who would have thought that this man, Jin Baihua, would be in charge of all activities involving the Devil race and demons? what age he was when he entered the contract with Devil Fennu.
No one expected he was the reason for the Tyrant Clan-like Xie Family to appear. The appearance of Devil Jidu in the Lan Zhuayun Sect and the deceased fifth prince becoming a devil’s vessel after death. Or that demon herd hiding under the Lu Weifeng Sect’s Ancestral Mound. Even the hideout of the infamous Demonic Cultivator, Cao Rumin, living in Death Valley. Who would expect one person to do all that?
This conversation was heard by everyone in the vicinity. Among all that was there only Devil Fennu denied a part of these accusations.
Devil Fennu exclaimed, “Stop your nonsense! What happened with Jidu had nothing to do with us? He was already in this place when I first signed the contract with Bai’er!!!”
Who is Jidu? He was the Devil of Envy that appeared in the Lan Zhuayun Sect and foolishly chose the Old Master Yun as his target vessel which allowed Lord Hei to notice the existence of the Devils and Demons in the Mortal Realm. Jin Baihua was captured by the Xie Clan and looked especially helpless at that time. The hatred in his heart was what attracted Devil Fennu to him.
Jin Baihua, on the other hand, acknowledged that he was the true planner of all that took place at that time. Everyone who heard the story of Jin Baihua being the mastermind behind all events involving the demon race was deeply affected. Even Hei Anjing, the guy who killed Devil Jidu, was compelled to recount all that took place 10 years ago from his memory.

In the Crimson Cloud Peak...
Hei Anjing and Xia Jieye who were watching the scene outside the city gates from their own place also saw the scene of Jin Baihua confessing his involvement with the Demon Race.
.....
Hei Anjing spoke, “I thought it is weird for a human to have two devils in one vessel. Though that itself is rare, this physique is only the person called the Star Calamity is capable of. Based on his outburst his initial feelings towards the Mortal World were envy then hatred. So how come Devil Jidu didn’t choose him as a vessel instead but Devil Fennu got him instead?”
“Fennu might be stronger than Jidu but if you want to choose who is easier to control. Fennu might fit the bill more. After all, among all the Devils he is the only one who had not made kin ever since he was created. On the other hand, Jidu had created as many kin as he wants and saw more humans than Fennu did. This Devil called Fennu, he doesn’t know how a real scheme human takes action.” Xia Jieye said.
Hei Anjing spoke, “Jin Baihua? When I first saw him I never liked him. He wears a fake mask of emotions on his face and it is so natural that it makes one sick. He was already like this when I first saw him. After I investigated him ten years ago I learned he is like this ever since his mother died from an illness. Even when he learned from the villager that they threw his mother’s remains in the mass grave he was able to control his emotions from showing on his face well. It wouldn’t be surprising if he didn’t know he is unable to remove such a mask of false emotions.”
“Fennu didn’t even know that the vessel he chose had been using him all this time. He knew about the existence of the Devils even before he met Fennu. Yet that human, Jin Baihua acted his whole life like a play under his control.” Xia Jieye said.
Hei Anjing said, “It is because he had been acting all his life that he didn’t know how to stop anymore. He would use people and other creatures regardless until he reached the goal he wanted to achieve.”
“But now that he has achieved what he wants, the persona he had been using all this time, he can no longer take it off. Only when all his sins were brought to light that his mask of false emotions finally ripped off.”
“How could that devil, Fennu, accept the fact that the sole human he chose to act and love became something that had been using him all along?”
Xia Jieye hugged his wife and said, “I am not like him. Whether I knew it or not, you can use me as much as you want, Jing’er. If you hate me you can beat me or kill me as long as you don’t ask me to leave by your side. I am willing to do anything.”
Sigh~
“You speak as if I am the same kind as that useless thing (Jin Baihua). I don’t have to act. If there is something I like I will love it. If it’s something I hate It would never exist. It’s just that sometimes love and hate to exist together and I, who had a clear line between the two, don’t know what to do in such situations.” Hei Anjing said. “If it is you, what do you think should be done, A’Xia?”
Xia Jieye didn’t think much about this answer as he knew that his wife was the type to clearly differentiate his likes to hate. There had never been an exception. So he honestly answered the question his Jing’er was asking him.
“If it’s an equal love and hates then you first punish the person. The punishment must be enough for the other side to feel the hatred you have and understand the reason why you hate. But since you also love him as much, there is no way you can kill him. Your love for him was enough to spare his life,” said Xia Jieye.
Hei Anjing asked, “Do you think such a person is to be forgiven?”
“I think so. After all, despite hating him as much, you love him as much. In the end, you will only hurt yourself more if you choose to destroy the love that was strong enough to restrain your hate. Because doing so only means you are harming yourself.” Xia Jieye said. “But even if you are willing to forgive, punishments must not be forgotten or else the other person would never learn from this mistake.”
Chuckles~
Hei Anjing couldn’t help but giggle after hearing Xia Jieye’s response for some reason. That was mischievous laughter as if he had witnessed something amusing or engaging, not the kind that made him feel like he was mocking someone.
Hahaha~
Hei Anjing spoke, “Indeed. Your words are correct. I will keep it in mind. Haha~ my tummy hurts...”
Xia Jieye looked at his wife doting and helping him rub his tummy for him as if this small action of his was enough to help his beloved ease the pain.
“Baby, you are laughing too much.”
“Because you look so serious. Are you angry? Because Jin Baihua caused me to choose death more than ten years ago,” asked Hei Anjing.
As Xia Jieye thought back on what had transpired 10 years before, all of his facial emotions vanished. Due to the limitations of the time, Xia Jieye could seldom venture out of the body to see his wife. Moreover, Yun Xiajie, a fragment of his spirit, lacks subtlety. He spoke inappropriately to his Jing’er because he was thinking too much about other things. He came close to ruining his bond with his baby. Nearly killing him with rage.
Regrettably, it took him some time to rebuild the vessel because it was so frail. This is why, ten years ago, he was constantly asleep; he would only awaken when Yun Xiajie’s emotions reached a certain point. At that point, all Xia Jieye could do was provide him with guidance.
Xia Jieye responded to his wife’s question and said, “I am angry. He caused you to be imprisoned in Purgatory for a thousand years.”
“Well~ you can do anything you want as long as you don’t kill him. His existence is like your elder brother and my younger brother in this world. They are the protagonists and antagonists that allowed this world to exist. I still want to stay here for a bit longer. He cannot die for now.” Hei Anjing said.
Xia Jieye kissed his wife’s cheeks and stood up, obviously preparing to leave. “As long he is alive anything is okay, right? Leave it to me. There are countless ways to keep someone like him breathing.”
“The fastest way is to give him immortality. Not the type that involves the soul but just the physical body. Then you can torture him anytime you want. Maybe in the end, that human will think that dying is better than living.”
“I will be back soon.” Xia Jieye suddenly disappeared after that as for where he is heading obviously there is only one place that got his interest.

Outside the city gates...
Devil Fennu disagreed with the assertion that Jin Baihua was somehow involved in the existence of Devil Jidu. He saw how Jin Baihua’s expression remained unaltered even after he finished speaking.
He didn’t want to think that the only kin he accepted was someone whose genuine face he had never seen. And if he did, he would be no different from a moron who had no idea how he had been slain.
The expressionless visage of Jin Baihua belied the steely, mocking depths of his eyes. Devil Fennu saw enough disgust in his eyes to comprehend that a human was able to play with him and that he was too ignorant to even notice that the human he is cherishing merely used him as a tool to achieve his goals.𝒇𝘳ℯe𝙬e𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝒆𝗹. c૦𝑚
Devil Fennu looked at Jin Baihua with disbelief and sadness in his eyes. “You... You really...”
“A loner like you is much easier to control than that annoying Jidu who wants to do this and that. He is so annoying that I told him the secret of the Yun Clan. Especially the tragic love between Senior Yun Huaye and his wife. When I told the story of a couple who loved each other yet hated each other as much, Jidu felt that it was more interesting to play with it. So he told me about you.”
“Jidu said that his Second Brother possessed the strength which is ranked second in all Seven Deadly Sins. I was interested in the first rank at the beginning. Jidu told me that his highness Ye Zihao was not a simple character and chose you instead. So I chose you instead and made it ai shall be the only precious one in your life. In the end, I got what I wanted, right?”
“You want a human who has hate for the world. But doesn’t look upon race to judge a person. A pitiful person whose heart is filled with uncontrollable hatred and makes your vessel unable to leave your side. I played it well, right?”
“Bai’er, I... watch out!”
Jin Baihua’s comments were loaded with thorns. Devil Fennu was distressed by the treachery, but...
Even after being caught in his negligence by Devil Qingyu and Cao Roulan, he was unable to take his gaze away from Jin Baihua’s figure. As Jin Baihua notices the anguish in Fennu’s eyes, his fa?ade begins to crack. Though it was unclear how Jin Baihua truly felt about Fennu, not everything of that transpired between them was false.
Even though he was seriously hurt, Devil Fennu suddenly forcibly removed the curse that was cast over him. He immediately soared in front of Jin Baihua and smiled as he stood there. Fennu’s smile would be unusual and exquisite in Jin Baihua’s eyes if it weren’t for the hand that unexpectedly penetrates his body while grasping his beating heart. Now that he is seeing it, it is more like a nightmare that he will never forget in his life.
“Bai’er, I... would never... hate... you.”
Devil Fennu extended a hand toward Jin Baihua’s cheek, but it flutteringly touched the latter’s cheek just briefly as Jin Baihua watched the extended hand fall before his eyes. Jin Baihua’s mask collapses at this very moment, and his tears cascade down like waterfalls whose water dam has burst. He cries out inconsolably, his face wrinkling with pain and sorrow.
With tears clouding his vision, Jin Baihua can only witness the passing of the one and only person in this world who had ever shown him the warmth and affection he had always desired. As he finally saw death, he started to cry.
His voice is filled with suffering, disbelief, and bewilderment. “NOOOO!!! A’FEN!!!” screamed Jin Baihua.
