Chapter 637: 12.39 Unknown Star – Modern ABO World: Last Night
On their way home, inside the car, Ye Yuyan told everyone what he had experienced while he was in a half-conscious state. He shared with them about the pure white space he had opened his eyes to and that it was the second time he had entered such an eerie place.
He told everything to the very last detail. So when everyone heard about that unknown man’s voice scolding and kicking out Ye Yuyan from his subconsciousness, System Yue and System Yang reacted quite strongly.
System Yue said, [You heard a voice!? For real, it was also him who helped you wake up in reality!!]
Ye Yuyan asked, “Is it him as expected? Is he truly awake? Why doesn’t he show himself like Lord Hei if he is already awake?”
[Lord Ye is different from Lord Hei. Lord Hei is mischievous by nature but his husband is the opposite of him. Lord Ye is aloof and indifferent to everything except his wife. He must have noticed that Lord Hei is asleep, plus with you annoying him as you called for his wife he must be pissed. Just based on his personality alone he wouldn’t waste time on us. Even if he sees us dying before him he wouldn’t care at all.] explained System Yang.
System Yue, [But I suggest you check your body when we get back home. Lord Ye never liked owing someone. He must have given you something for letting him sleep in your soul to rest.]
Hei Yuhua said, “Just check when we get home. Lord Hei helped me upgrade my overall physique and mental strength. Maybe yours got upgraded too. There are measuring tools in the training room get into it after dinner.”
.....
“Yes, we should do that after we get home. Let me nap for now,” said Ye Yuyan as he closed his eyes and leaned his head on his wife’s shoulders.
Seeing the married couple silent and tired, the two systems decided to end the conversation and let them rest. They wanted to ask a few more things about the unknown voice that Ye Yuyan heard within his subconsciousness. There is a higher percentage than the owner of that voice is Lord God Ye.
The question is whether he is fully awake or not. If it’s the former then that’s better. They could report it to Lord Hei as soon as possible. But if it’s the latter then forget about it... Lord Hei’s soul is too unstable in this world. It is good for him to rest longer while they are still here.
Meanwhile, within the subconsciousness of Ye Yuyan. At the center of the qi gathering formation, Ye Xiajie woke up and sat up on the bed. He looked around and saw that the place he is in isn’t familiar to him but he knew that this must be somewhere within the soul of that mortal from before.
Ye Xiajie combed back his hair and thought about himself and the events unfolding before him.
“A Qi Gathering Formation and Ice Crystals. Plus a heavenly Wisteria Tree that could purify the qi which could only be grown using the blood essence of someone. This familiar scent of blood... This is Jing’er’s blood! That damn Ye Mo. I would definitely kill you the moment I get my vessel and complete my soul.” whispered Ye Yuyan on his own.
The world of subconsciousness is made there levels of conscious, preconscious, and unconscious. The first level is called ‘conscious’ meaning the person had certain control over himself. The second level is ‘preconscious’. It was the white space that Ye Yuyan was almost locked in. He was able to enter but unable to leave. He is also able to feel and see what is happening in reality but has no control over his body. Lastly, is ‘unconscious’, a level where one has no control over his body or soul. Just able to see what is allowed to be seen and hear what is allowed to be heard.
Ye Xiajie resides at the last level. But since he is an element outside Ye Yuyan’s control, he has full control over himself and the body he is in. On the unconscious level, the space is only a black space with broken mirror-like fragments. These fragments were the so-called forgotten memories of Ye Yuyan.
Forgotten memories were similar to those scenes that happened at a certain time but made the owner of the vessel unable to completely remember it. This is like a recycle bin section of the brain.
A place full of darkness would be connected to an abyss regardless of its location. As expected, Xia Jieye can move through the darkness and appears before Ye Xiajie who just woke up. He remains indifferent and apathetic as he appeared before Ye Xiajie. But as soon as he arrived on the scene the thing that caught his interest wasn’t his dominant soul at all but the blooming wisteria tree behind his other-self.
Xia Jieye is extremely sensitive to the scent of blood, especially Hei Anjing’s blood. A frown appeared on his face as he smelled the scent of blood and looked even icier as he stared at Ye Xiajie.
He spoke sarcastically, “Would it kill you to stop making the little one bleed for your sake? You are so useless that you get protected by him all over the world while you always get him killed. I think enough is enough.”
“.......”
Ye Xiajie could understand Xia Jieye’s anger and worry. Even if it was for his sake, the sacrifices his wife made to keep him alive had been almost extreme. Much more there was nothing he could do about it as he couldn’t freely move as he does due to the restriction on his soul.
“This time it wasn’t on purpose. Ye Mo appeared in flesh in the last world. My current self couldn’t beat him. He tried to kill our wife as expected and... We fell to a distorted space dimension to escape.” explained Ye Xiajie.
Xia Jieye snorted and said, “Snort! Excuses. I’ve brought back the soul fragment from the world you’ve missed. Merge it and return to Netherworld as soon as possible. If what I’ve seen from the shadows is correct. The Ye Gui race had entered Vearth in secret. I do not think Siwang and that tyrant know about it. They would obviously target your body. Go back.”
He flings the soul fragment he had gotten from the missed world he and his wife are supposed to enter next after the last one but instead falls into this world. Ye Xiajie accepted the soul fragment without expressing a dark face. His face is especially ugly when the Ye Gui race is mentioned.
Ye Xiajie asked, “What is Siwang doing?”
“Nothing. It is our problem after all,” said Xia Jieye as he recalled the always smiling appearance of that brother of his. Though Siwang is the embodiment of light, he is undeniably not a Righteous God. He would never move unless he asked for it personally.
“Any way you can only enjoy yourself in this world. The last world would be mine as promised,” said Xia Jieye before once again disappearing into the darkness.
His arrival and departure left no traces as always leaving Ye Xiajie alone in that subconsciousness of Ye Yuyan.
Looking at the soul fragment glowing red above his palms, Ye Xiajie unhesitatingly ate it. This is a part of his soul. He decided to go back to sleep to fully merge his soul fragments.
Ye Xiajie murmured, “The Ye Gui race huh. I’ll eradicate them when I go back to Vearth. Baby, I’ll need to sleep for a bit longer. Rest well.”
Only then did Ye Xiajie enter his deep sleep once more. This might be the last time he would feel in such a state.
—
In reality.
Ye Yuyan and Hei Yuhua finally got home. They got a message from the two who stayed behind to clean up after the mess they’ve both made.
Yun Jie’s message: [All clear, brother. A’Wei says to pass a message to the captain. He said Yi Rouya would come over as planned and a man named Ying Wu from Director Yu’s side would aide with the investigation.]
Hei Yuhua replied to Yun Jie asking them to come back avoiding the eyes of others. They are to take over the place of the dummies they’ve made to take their second identities.
Yun Jie: [Understood, Brother. What about Yi Rouya? Did he meet us at the condo building before? Would he remember us?]
Hei Yuhua replied, “Don’t worry. I had erased that part of his memory. Plus, he had been mentally tortured by me when he tried to take away my daughter. We would instinctively be frightened by my presence. Make preparations for taking over. We will resume the plan in two to three days.”
Yun Jie: [I’ll tell A’Wei and get ready.]
“Be careful and erase your traces on your way home,” said Hei Yuhua.
By the time the car stopped at the parking lot, Hei Yuhu woke up his husband. The whole building is theirs and no other person except for hidden guards can enter this building without their permission. Those who tried to do so would be killed on sight. This is why even the Red Poppy Syndicate considered this place a death zone for their spies.
As soon as they get back to their condo, Ye Yuyan lay on the bed dead asleep. The effect of wine on him is still so strong and had no other choice but to sleep. After putting his husband to rest, Hei Yuhua came to meet Prime Minister Ye, and his wife in the living room within his arms is the sleeping daughter of Hei Yuhua and Ye Yuyan. They need to go back to the Prime Minister’s place to continue hiding the existence of Ye Huahua from their enemies. Now that vacation is over they could no longer stay at this place.
Hei Yuhua looked tenderly at the figure of his sleeping daughter and gave her a kiss on her forehead. There’s a strong reluctance within those silver eyes.
Prime Minister Ye said, “Sigh~, Xiao Hua bear with it. After your mission is completed you can openly and freely live with Huahua and Yuyan.”
“I know Father Ye. Please look after her well,” said Hei Yuhua with a small smile on his face.
Prime Minister Ye promised, “I will protect her with my life. Don’t worry and focus on your mission. The sooner you complete the mission the better. Tell that stupid son of mine to don’t to get too deep in the role, the reality is different from plans.”
“I will pass your message on to him, Father Ye. I had someone clear up all traces on your way back. Please follow the route I’ve to send to you.” said Hei Yuhua.
Prime Minister Ye nodded his head while his wife approached Hei Yuhua and hugged him. With a comforting and encouraging pat on his back, Hei Yuhua heard his mother-in-law say,
“Everything will be okay. You and Yuyan should work together and trust each other. As long as you are together you would be okay no matter what happens. Be careful, our child.”
Hei Yuhua hugged her back and said, “We will, Mother Ye.”
Afterward, he sent them off to the parking lot.
Hei Yuhua whispered, “Yue, can you please escort them back to the Mansion safely?”
In his mind, System Yue’s voice responded, [I can. Leave it to me. I will personally erase their traces and cover up their traces. Don’t worry about Ye Huahua.]
“Thank you, Yue,” said Hei Yuhua.
When he got back to the bedroom, he saw Ye Yuyan awake.
Ye Yuyan asked, “They’ve gone back?”
“Yes. I’ve asked System Yue to help them on the way. Sorry, I made the decision myself.” said Hei Yuhua as he was suddenly pulled for a hug by Ye Yuyan.
Ye Yuyan hugged him tightly and leaned his head on his shoulder, obviously suffering from a hangover.
“It’s okay. Tonight was my mistake. It’s correct that you had father and the rest leave. Tomorrow, our plan will finally begin.” said Ye Yuyan while the arms holding Hei Yuhua get tighter. “Tomorrow, I would have to start wrong you again. Please don’t hate me, Yu’er.”
Hei Yuhua helplessly smiles and hugs him back.
“I wouldn’t hate you. In our past life, even after you accidentally shot me I’ve never hated you at all. That time my only regret is that I was unable to accompany you and Huahua in the end. But who would have thought... You would follow me in my death. Don’t be stupid next time. We owe our daughter in our past life and even in the present. We should strive to make her happy in this life.” said Hei Yuhua.
Ye Yuyan said, “After this mission is complete we can retire as planned and live together as a family. I promise this is the last time we would do something this dangerous. My job after that is to make you and Huahua happy.”
“I know. I believe you. For now, let’s do our best.” said Hei Yuhua. “I received a message from Yu Xi through Brother Wei. He would send Yi Rouya as planned. Stimulate him to make contact with the Syndicate as before. He also sends an assistant to bridge to your headquarters. If you trust him then I will also give him the privilege to enter Aster with an identity as an Informant. I can’t ask A’Jie to gather information for us as he would be moving together with us.”
“Who did Yu Xi sent?” asked Ye Yuyan.
Hei Yuhua replied, “A young man called Ying Wu.”
“I see. He is Yu Xi’s confidant. He is trustworthy as long as Yu Xi is involved,” said Yu Yuyan.
Hei Yuhua said, “I know. It’s just that his name sounded familiar. I just can’t recall where I had... Umff! Don’t push me!”
Ye Yuyan pushed his mate onto the bed with a teasing smile and said, “My wife, since you’ll need to leave at dawn tonight. At least wait for me to fall asleep. I can’t sleep without hugging you.”
“Sigh~ fine,” said Hei Yuhua as he let the big sticky man hug him in his sleep. It is just for a few hours anyway before they separate. He needs to leave and use his second identity as the youngest serial killer after tonight.
