Chapter 93: An Awful Past

Translator: LiamHW

The coldness invaded the child standing there trembling, and he finally got up the courage to knock on the door, “You…could you please open the door? It’s cold outside.”

“Why are you so annoying? We’re all asleep.” There was a reply from someone inside, followed by a sound of laughter. The child bit his lower lip which was almost frozen, and when he heard a sound of water dripping from the corridor, he became frightened and kept slapping against the door, “Open the door, please! Open the door!”

Zhao Yun could also see a female ghost floating in the child’s sight, and soon, more ghosts appeared in all directions, greedily staring at the child alone.

“Why should I? I won’t open the door for you. It’s cold outside and we’re going to sleep now. You can just play outside alone. Hahaha.”

The door separated the child from the whole world, his surroundings were full of ghosts, the only thing he got was the Kirin Pendant, protecting himself with a protective cover. but those ghosts did not give up, and circled around the child again and again, the child was scared to shrink into a mass. He did not even dare to move a bit, and did not dare to cry loudly, but could only sobbed silently.

Zhao Yun was heartbroken and tried to pick up the child, but as he reached to touch the child in front of him, the image was like something stirring in a pool of lake, becoming misty and then disppeared. All of a sudden, the scene changed to be another one.

It was another winter, the child stood on the ground covered by the snow, those older children threw snowballs at him, and the snowballs splited into pieces and turned into snow particles into his clothes. The child was freezing and begged for them to stop. However, no one seemed to sympathize with him and continued their attacking.

“Beat the monter, bros, come one !” Shouted one of the boys, and then continued to hit the boy with snowballs with a great enjoyment. Later, all of the boys rushed over to the child, beating him with their bare fists with no mercy.

“I’m not a monster… I’m not a monster…”

“You ARE a monster. How dare you to lie to us? Look at yourself, you got a disgusting color in your eyes which are different from us. And you talk to yourself every time, what a creepy you are!”

Oh, alright! Was that really a heartbreaking fact that people discreminate the others who were different from the main group? The child lied on the ground, with his skin black and blue. Yet the group of boys laughed at him and then walked away, and occasionally there were a few other girls came over and threw the snowball to him, and the girl, who had robbed the muppet from the poor child’s hand, poured the water on her hand all over on the head of the child, with her chin raised high and looked down on him.

“Oh, Fifi, you spilled the water that the dean asked you to bring up. The dean will blame you.”

“What are you afraid of? I will tell her that this monster hit me.”

As the extremely cold water pouring on him, the freezing child finally fainted. In this world of coldness flying with snowflakes, something of him seemed to be frozen, it was not only his physique, but also the heart of his, he got no friends, no family, he got nothing in this world.

Zhao Yun never thought that Xia Mingyu’s childhood would be like this, so it was no wonder that when the others occasionally asked about his past, he just forked the topic and stammered and couldn’t say anything.

When he was four years old, he was taken to the Zhao family, and no one would care about him the same situation as the orphanage. Three days later, he was locked up by Han Xiaolin, with his hands and feet tied with chains. There were several researchers in white coats walked around him, they had his blood drawn, tested blood and did a series of studies on him.

While the worlds of the others were all bright and beautiful, but he got only darkness and despair.

Zhao Yun finally understood why Xia Mingyu was always so careful, and sometimes was

capricious to him, that was because Xia Mingyu simply had no idea how long this happiness could exist for him, whether it would be fleeting as if it was only a passing fancy. He wasn’t that kind of confident, which made him so self-abased.

The dream suddenly became blurred, Zhao Yunyin noticed that the eyes of the child glimmered with purple, but then the dream became blank. Zhao Yun knew that Xia Mingyu was about to wake up, and he tried to use the blood contract to contact the boy, but he failed. As a result, he had to quit the action.

Xia Mingyu woke up from his dream he sat up and found that he had slept at a bed. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window next to him and saw a town. He couldn’t figure out where the place was, he was just taking a nap, but where was this place?

“Master, you’re awake. Do you want something to eat?” asked Huskeley, the loyal werewolf pushed the door and entered the room, with his hands pushing a cart loading rice and many other vegetables and meat. “I know that you won’t like the food here as we eat, so I brought some food from the mankind world to you.”

“Is this the Demon Palace where you mentioned?” Xia Mingyu turned around and asked with doubts. It was totally a city in Western style, and he was at the top of a castle.

Huskeley put the meal on the table and answered Xia Mingyu’s question, “Yes, this is the Second Main Palace of the Demon Palace, it was designed according to the Western castle. The First Main Palace is designed according to the Oriental Palace at the other end of the Demon World.”

“Mmm.” When Xia Mingyu seemed to be rather hungry and had his meal, while Huskeley stood by and looked at him. He noticed that the boy in front was upset, as he was about to ask the reason, the boy himself interrupted, asking, “Why is the place designed like this?”

“Advanced demons need some entertainments in their daily life, but in this demon world, we got only the soul-eating worms had the ability to break the space, or the evil souls themselves, so the designs here were all relied on them.” said Huskeley, “These were all built by former evil souls.”

Xia Mingyu nodded and suddenly thought about the matter of Chi Ji and asked, “So how about Chi Ji? What happened to her? What is a blood demon? And how could she get to the mankind world?”

“Blood demons are also one of advanced demons. It is a race that can live forever as long as there exists one drop of blood. So I think she left the demon world with those soul-eating worms when the master summoned the soul-eating worms at his first time.”

This explained why Chi Ji recognized him as the heaven soul rather than the evil soul at the very beginning when she showed up in the mankind world. However, when was the first time the evil soul summoned the soul-eating worms? Oh right, it was when he took the train together with Wu Jiuge! Everyone died on the train at that time!

But weren’t the passengers on the train innocent? Why did the evil soul summon soul-eating worms at that time? Xia Mingyu was a little restless thinking about this, and he wanted to ask Huskeley, but then he thought that the evil soul wouldn’t tell Huskeley these things. Should he wait until the other self wake up? How long will it take? These doubts lingering in his mind would get him insane!

Xia Mingyu put down the chopsticks on his hand and said sullen, “Take the meal away. I have no appetite.”

“Yes, master.” Huskeley put away the food and walked to the door, but Xia Mingyu stopped him, asking, “Wait! Can I leave this castle? I want to hang out.”

“I’m sorry, the master’s order contains a restraining regulation. You can only stay in this room.” Huskeley finished his words, and then closed the door. Xia Mingyu ran over to pull the door hard, but found the door motionless, he couldn’t help but chagrin. What the situation right now? I grounded myself by my own orders？

Wu Jiuge was carried to the room of Xia Mingyu by Cao Pi, and he was severely left on the bed, Cao Pi used his spiritual power to contain Wu Jiuge’s wicked power, ensuring that the  young man couldn’t carry out any effective resistance against Cao Pi.

“What do you want?” The young man lied on the bed, with his head turning over and his dark eyes calm and sharp, but Cao Pi frowned unhappily, saying, “You are my prisoner now. What do you think I’m gonna do?”

“If you want to kill me, help yourself.” said Wu Jiuge, and then he turned his head back and was tired to look at the face of Cao Pi, while Cao Pi sneered, saying, “Kill you? You are not even worth a farthing, it will be a time wasting matter for me. Let’s talk about Xia Mingyu. If you die, how could he  sustain his life?”

Obviously, Cao Pi had already known the fact of the identity of Wu Jiuge by saying this, he wouldn’t believe that in such a situation, the young man would still keep his mouth shut.

Sure enough, the young man looked over with astonishment and an unpleasant expression showing on his face, saking, “If you has already found out the fact, why are you still interrogating me?”

Seeing that Wu JiuGe was not that confident right now, Cao Pi changed his spiritual power lock into a binding mode, hanging directly his hands up, while Wu Jiuge’s black eyes turned into blank with confusion, asking, “What are you doing?”

“It’s just a bundle that’s better for me to make something.” Cao Yan smirked and suddenly pulled the cloth of Wu Jiuge and tore it apart. Finally he saw a panic expression showing up on the young man’s cold and beautiful face, “You! Stop!”

“Stop? Why would I stop? Didn’t you owe me two lives? It’s easy for you.” Cao Pi playfully scratched his fingers across the cheek of Wu Jiuge, then slowly reached his chest, deliberately teased him touching his nipples, then he leaned over to bite the earlobe of Wu Jiuge, and said with a magnetic voice slowly, “How about you pay me back with your flesh?”

Wu Jiuge’s body trembled slightly, and her desired to speak stopped again, and after a long while, he said hoarsely, “Go away, you zombie… How shameless you are!”

“Haha, shameless? Is that all what you can say? How adorable you are. If you beg me with tears, I might let you go.” Cao Pi scratched his nipples again and obviously felt Wu Jiuge’s body tremble.

“Go away, you zombie, or I’ll kill you till I die!” Shouted Wu Jiuge, but what he screamed did not scare Cao Pi at all, but made him more presumptuous instead. Cao Pi pinched the chin of Wu Jiuge using his slender fingers, and then sneered, saying, “You should learn how to talk, little pussy, you got not that strong to kill me right now.  But you were brave to threaten me? Have you not recognized your situation yet? Then I’ll let you think about what identity you are now.”

As he stopped talking, he got Wu Jiuge’s head turned over and bit on the white jade-like neck of his. Wu Jiuge’s eyes suddenly shrank, saying, “You! How dare you!”

Cao Pi’s fangs pierced into the skin of the young man, along with a sound muffling. There appeared a string of incantations in the red eyes of Cao Pi, and soon, when he raised his head, a small array appeared at the bite mark on the neck of Wu Jiuge, it was like the Blood Contract between Zhao Yun and Xia Mingyu.

“In this case, you should be clear.” Cao Pi licked the blood stain from the corner of his lips, while Wu Jiuge stared at him, “You! You…”

“This is a contract of master and servant, So, you little Jiuge. No matter how reluctant you are, you have to listen to my words anyway.” Cao Pi said lightly, his index finger traced the outline of the lips of Wu Jiuge, then kissed on. Wu Jiuge subconsciously bit him hard, but only caused the break of his own lips, the two people’s mouths are full of flavour of blood.

Wu Jiuge used his tongue to resist Cao Ji’s invasion, but Cao Pi was very arrogant, directly clasped the back of his head, making Wu Jiuge weak to resist. his head was drowsy, while his body was not under his control anymore, he even wanted to get more closed sensation with Cao Pi as he touched the hands of his! What a strange feeling right now. No, it was dangerous, and it needed to be stopped.
