[BOOK 2] I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot (BL)

9.13 Second Blue Star - Lou Lan's Advice

At the Ancient Palace, the Lou Clan who were doing the ritual of sacrifice suddenly heard the voice of the Ghost King they've been serving for centuries. This was the second time in these years that they've heard his voice. After this time, the existence of the Ghost King had been unknown.

Especially that, now that modern times had taken over the ancient era, supernatural entities were considered unscientific. In short, for rational thinkers, their existence is within the blurred boundary of science and entities that cannot be explained.

Among the people, the Celestial Master who had different views of the world can be said to be the only ones among the humans who still believe in ghosts, demons, and gods. This is because these following entities were in line with their work.

The human whose time never stops would choose to move on, on the way they would get used to their new lives and would sometimes forget about the past. When the Ghost King stops talking to the Lou Clan after the contract is finalized, those who had faced the ghost king had longed to perish due to old age, and only those children who had grown up to adults would be either still remembered or forget about altogether.

Lou Ming and his generation were among the few who had forgotten yet they also wavered thinking that the strongest Ghost King that was feared during the ancient times had long disappeared. They were arrogant to think that their current abilities were something they had been born with; sadly it is only a borrowed power from the Ghost King. Power and ability that the ghost king himself could take back any time.

So when they heard the Ghost King's voice, the hidden fear which they had forgotten due to time had once again resurfaced. They treated the Ghost King as a model God to serve but at the same time, their loyalty towards him had long faded. They were just following the routine their clan had asked them to comply.

So when the Ghost King suddenly appeared once again, instead of admiration and loyalty, only fear and doubt filled their hearts. Once he heard him asking for his bride, their faces all turned bloodless in shock and disbelief. They were all thinking that this Ghost King is trying to destroy their clan by taking away their sole heir.

Within the Lou Clan, among the youngest generations, only Lou Lan possessed spiritual qi which is above the rest. Though he doesn't have Yin-Yang eyes, his abilities as Celestial Master and his main capabilities are more about curses.

Hearing the pleading voices of the elders and Lou Ming telling him to give them time and they would prepare his bride for him, Ye Xiajie took his time to reply which made those humans nervous to the point of death.

Ye Xiajie spoke, "I want my bride to arrive in this palace before nightfall. Failure to do so... Your Lou Clan shall never exist! Clean up all the mess and take back that blood you brought for this king. So dirty!"

A strong wind forcefully pushed the open huge door and only the moonlight helped Lou Ming and his elders to see the way out. Carrying the huge pail of blood and flesh they hurried went down from that desolated Palace. Once everyone was out they heard a bang sound behind them.

When they turned around the huge door closed after them and the candles that were cut off when they were doing the ritual suddenly lit up on their own. They felt a chill climb up on his spine and they could only run away from that place.

Somewhere within the city, Xue Hua was about to ride a taxi home together with the paper human Master Shen Ling had made for him as an escort. Suddenly, a chill hit his slender body making him shiver uncontrollably and sneeze once.

ACHOO!

The taxi driver asked worriedly, "Lad, go in already. Uncle will turn on the heater for you. Geez~ It's almost winter and you choose to stay out until nightfall before not getting sick."
