Chapter 50 Destiny

The young man’s skin touched as tender as tofu and as soft as cotton. Although he felt that the young man became a bit strange, he felt so good. At least the young man was willing to approach him boldly instead of retracting into his own shell when Zhao Yun tried to go near him.

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yun interrupted. “I haven’t answered the question yet. I’ve never fallen for anyone before. You’re the first one.”

Oh? Was that so… Did Zhao Yun love him or the other soul in Xia Mingyu’s body?

“I’m very happy…” After saying that, Xia Mingyu suddenly felt a pain in his heart, but he smiled even more happily.

When they dawdled out of the bathroom, it was late at night. They both lay in bed. Zhao Yun held Xia Mingyu in his arms, watching him fall asleep in a daze.

Today this young man was very passionate, but it was displayed in different ways. When he was drunk, he was clearlymuddle-headed. However, he was extremely sober when he returned to the villa. Although he still had the smell of beer, Zhao Yun could see through his eyes that he was not drunk at all. Then why did the young man suddenly…

Zhao Yun checked his hair band carefully several times and finally found the words on it. Then he recalled the young man’s question and took a tumble. The young man must have got him wrong and felt jealous. Hum…

Zhao Yun stroked Xia Mingyu’s head softly and wondered whether he should change his hair band. Nevertheless, he just passed out…

Xia Mingyu got out of the quilt and saw the binding talisman stuck on Zhao Yun’s forehead. He gave a sinister smile and kissed him softly on the middle of his eyebrows. Then he just turned over and jumped out of the window. The binding talisman wouldn’t be able to contain the King of Corpse for a long time. He must seize the time and finish what he needed to do as soon as possible.

“The lover is far away; the rain falls in the alley. The young man stands on tiptoe to snap the plum blossom, with the petals falling on his clothes.” Chiji sat on the overpass, shaking her feet and humming. It was about time now. Now, Xia Mingyu should be arriving.

Soon, a young man walked slowly up along the overpass like a puppet. Chiji smiled and threw out her Five-claw Hook at him when he got closer. “Mingyu, you are finally mine now. The Heavenly Soul and your blood are both mine too.”

The hook was blocked by the Tiyue Tang Sword, which made Chiji taken aback. The young man raised his head and smiled complacently, “You are coming for the Heavenly Soul indeed. ”

“How so? You’ve been poisoned by the Qiansi Gu!” She looked at Xia Mingyu in disbelief and thought of Zhao Yun and his friends in her mind. Immediately, she got astonished. “All of you have known that before?”

“Not all, just me.” Xia Mingyu violently waved the Tiyue Tang Sword. Chiji dodged his attack swiftly. The young man cut his palm with the sword and smeared the blood on the blade. The sword move struck by the Tang Sword became tangible. Chiji flew up and down in the air, avoiding Xia Mingyu’s attack.

As the young man struck more and more fiercely, Chiji couldn’t stand it. The sword wounds on her body cracked her skin and disfigured it, making her look so ugly. Chiji  was on the verge of panic. “No, who are you? Previously, clearly…”

“Ah, there are so many dead beings that want to acquire the Heavenly Soul, but no one dares to act in front of me but you. How foolish you are!”

The young man had a mole under his eye. He raised his eyebrows, rendering himself extremely defiant, which was different from the innocent self when his eyes were amber. The surrounding wandering ghosts didn’t dare to approach the young man at all. They all ran away. The young man, just like a demon coming from the hell, leapt to the air and kicked Chiji down mercilessly. He pointed at Chiji with his sword, who couldn’t resist now. “I shall send you back to hell. Do you have any last word?”

“The Qi… Impossible! Impossible! Mingyu has the Heavenly Soul! How can it be…” Before Chiji finished talking, her throat was slit through by the Tiyue Tang Sword. Flames rose from the wound and instantly enveloped her whole body. She burst out screaming in pain while the young man still looked calm.

“Death is nothing more than this…” Watching Chiji burned by the flames into a pile of coke, Xia Mingyu looked at the road ahead and laughed. He trampled on the ashes of Chiji and left. Then Cao Pi appeared in the darkness.

He looked at the back of Xia Mingyu sternly and said with uncertainty, “The Evil Soul…” Then he disappeared into the darkness. However, he failed to see a blood bead rolling out of the ashes on the ground. The bead got bigger gradually, turned into a human again and then left quietly.

After walking down the overpass, Xia Mingyu wiped the dirty Tiyue Tang Sword clean. A drunken man staggered towards him and mistook him as a girl. Hence, the man came to him and flirted with him, “Hey. What a beautiful girl! How come you are in the street alone? Come on! Let’s hang out together.”

The young man grinned with the deep purple magic in his palm suddenly emerging, causing the surrounding cameras all broken. The drunken man came at him and wanted to hold Xia Mingyu. Suddenly, he felt pain in his chest and got a bit sober. He lowered his head and look at his chest only to see a hole there. The young man was gripping the pounding heart with a smile.

“Bang.” His deep voice was not soft at all, which sounded like an enchanting demon in the fairy story. The young man clenched his fist and crushed the heart. Instantly, the drunk man fell to the ground.

Xia Mingyu licked his scarlet lips. His whole soul was evil and maniac. The flesh in his palm turned into ashes due to the flames. Likewise, those kids who hurt him in the orphanage were all killed. His hands were stained with blood as well as innocent…

“Since you dare go for those what you shouldn’t get, death is the lightest punishment. How foolish…” The young man laughed madly. “The Heavenly Soul is mine. How dare you fools covet that? Death is not to be regretted. Haha…”

Xia Mingyu looked at the ghosts that tried to escape and yet wished to have a finger in the pie, and sneered with his profound purple eyes full of killing intent. “You are drawing ruin on yourselves.”

He wanted to kill them all when he suddenly sensed the binding talisman was about to be finished. He hedged and only glanced at those ghosts. Then he hurriedly turned around and left. The King of Corpse was strong indeed. He thought that he could keep Zhao Yun contained for an hour but now the effect only lasted less than half an hour.

The young man quickly left. On the faraway tower, a man in red stood up and said to the immortal-like man behind, “Seemingly, everything goes as you expect. In this case, what shall we do next?”

The man in white gently shook the feather fan with a smile on his face: “There’s no need to do more. We have fanned the fire and helped Zilong a lot. No need to do anymore. Let the kid feel the short life then.”

“Yes.”

The starsflickered in the night sky. The young man moved swiftly. The clock of the destiny has been turned on. No one knew where the pointer would land. The seven sufferings in the world were unavoidable. These two men’s destinies were connected. How would their future be?

Xia Mingyu returned to the room and wanted to get on bed, but he felt that he was too messy and dirty. Staring at Zhao Yun, who was like a fallen immortal, he walked into the bathroom and washed his hands back and forth many times. With his hands placed against the wall, he looked at the other soul into the mirror.

The other soul hadn’t come back to life, which had no idea what the current self of Xia Mingyu had done. It was great. The Heavenly Soul only needed to stay innocent. As to the dirty things, the Evil Soul would handle them for him…

“Don’t worry. No one can hurt you. I will protect you… I’m not Wu Jiuge or Yun. I’m not anyone. I’m you… So the only person you can trust is me.”

The purple eyes were full of softness. He took it that the other self knew his existence, but actually, the other self that was asleep was completely unconscious. The young man muttered to himself, “Fortunately, we are the one…”

The boy absorbed in thinking didn’t know that Zhao Yun was sober. Zhao Yun woke up, and didn’t see Xia Mingyu around him. Stunned instantly, he was about to search for Xia Mingyu with the blood deed when he heard a sound in the bathroom. He got up and went there only to see that Xia Mingyu was staring into the mirror.

“Xiaoyu.” He called the young man. Xia Mingyu turned around and frowned lightly. Zhao Yun grabbed his arm and dragged him into the arms. He rubbed his head and asked, “Why are you up?”

Thanks to your comments. I will keep writing. Yeah, the other soul of Xia Mingyu is too innocent, so his pace is too slow. Therefore, I arrange the straightforward and bold one to speed up the pace… Next you will get some really good one in the following chapter. It’s a bit crazy. Please don’t blame me for that.
