808 14.84 Last Violet Star – Imperial Palace (1)
The Crown Prince and his black serpent had an intensive talk. The black mamba was left with the unavoidable impression that he is hearing things after listening to what Hong Longqing had stated.
He ultimately chose to stop thinking and accept the words of the human prince in front of him.
First experiencing joy, the black mamba couldn’t help but grin at the naive and innocent crown prince in front of him. Although he was already attractive, he used to be expressionless the majority of the time. He seems calm and slightly icy, yet when he smiles, a mysterious elegance emanates from him. His seductive demonic beast spirit made him even more alluring.
At such a sight, the Crown Prince immediately flushed. He couldn’t help but feel his heart racing furiously when he saw his brother and devilishly attractive friend smiling like this.
Hmp!
Hong Longqing said, “Don’t smile like that; you look like a vixen!”
The black mamba laughed at him after hearing his coquettish whine and seeing his flushed face.
The black mamba said, “Call me Heilan. That’s my original name.”
“Heilan. Heilan? What a wonderful name! Then Lan-ge what do we do?” The crown prince said, “What should we do? Aren’t you a high-ranking demon at least in the Soul Transformation Stage? I don’t think my father can fight him alone.”
.....
The Black Mamba, “You can only ask for help,” Heilan advised. “That human who fought with Lord Tanlan is quite strong himself and he is also the one who left with that immortal from before. They might be together. Let’s inform them right away. An immortal might be able to come over faster than others. They are our only chance of survival!”
“So let’s get in touch with the Lan Zhuayan Sect and ask to talk with Chun Hongyun-Jun,” Hong Longqing remarked.
When the person known as Chun Hongyun-Jun arrived, Heilan commanded, “Let me talk to him. If I show him my genuine appearance, he will trust our words.”
The Crown Prince questioned, “But that would put you in danger, Lan-ge!”
“It’s alright,” Heilan pats his head and says with a smile, “Since I’ve chosen to stay by your side, I cannot continue hiding. After all, it was impossible to conceal my existence in front of an immortal. There is already one from that side.”
“Don’t worry, Lan-ge. I will definitely protect you,” promised the Crown Prince.
—
At the Lan Zhuayun Sect, Crimson Cloud Peak.
The Crown Prince had asked to speak with the Master of the Crimson Cloud Peak, who is Chun Hongyun-Jun, according to a disciple from the main peak who had come to the courtyard of Chun Hongyun-Jun with a communication crystal. The elders gave their approval without raising many concerns since they were preoccupied with organizing the Dao Ceremony and the Exchange Study for Chun Hongyun-Jun and Mo Bing Jingling-Jun of their Sect. They were so busy that simple things like this were approved as soon as possible.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
“Hm. Speak,” said Xia Jieye.
When the door was opened, Chun Hongyun-Jun greeted the disciple without emotion. Unconsciously startled by his presence, the disciple quickly relaxed when he noticed Senior Hei smiling from behind Chun Hongyun-Jun.
A disciple reported, “A request for communication from the Imperial Palace had arrived. The other side wanted to speak with Chun Hongyun-Jun.”
“Who is it?” asked Xia Jieye nonchalantly.
The disciple answered, “The Imperial Crown Prince, Hong Longqing.”
With a sly smile, Hei Anjing grabbed the communication crystal from the disciple out of curiosity and thanked him for his diligence. “Thanks for the hard work.”
When Senior Hei smiled at the disciple, the disciple blushed and shook his head in shame. His face was scarlet. Few people could maintain calmness in the presence of their Senior Hei’s unmatched beauty.
The disciple said, “No. No hard labor. This disciple is happy to serve the seniors.”
Speaking while glaring at the young man who was conversing with his wife, Chun Hongyun-Jun doesn’t look friendly. The door was shut in front of the young disciple’s face after saying “You may leave,” leaving him speechless in front of Chun Hongyun-Jun’s courtyard. He couldn’t believe that their Chun Hongyun-Jun, who had a dead fish’s face and eyes, would be so offensive toward the people who stare at his own Dai Companion.
“I feel so jealous that Chun Hongyun-Jun can live with someone like Senior Hei,” the disciple thought as he made his way down the mountain, “Maybe I should also seek a dao companion.”
On the other hand, Hei Anjing was carried in by his jealous husband. He couldn’t help but laugh seeing his love’s dark face.
chuckles~
Hei Anjing spoke, “My love, do you get jealous of children now?”
“Yes. except for our son, I could hardly allow other men to look at you like that. You are mine, Jing’er,” said Xia Jieye.
Hei Anjing kissed his husband’s chin and said, “I’m all yours, my love.”
When the communication crystal was triggered, Chun Hongyun-Jun spotted an image of the Crown Prince sitting on the other side with a guy they had never seen before coming from the crystal. The man standing next to the crown prince wasn’t even a human, as Xia Jieye and Hei Anjing discovered when they looked into the man’s slit eyes. But neither of the two couples made any mention of him.
They were unaware that Heilan on the other side had also been stunned by the presence of Chun Hongyun-Jun, a supposed to be a renowned cultivator of righteousness. He felt as though he had already seen his face in someplace and was uneasy when he saw those crimson eyes, which are somewhat similar to his but not exactly.
Chun Hongyun-Jun said, “What do you need?” The two men on the other side were astounded by his direct question.
“...”
Pfft!
Hei Anjing murmured as he squeezed his lover’s waist from the side, “Okay. Don’t be afraid. My love isn’t as terrifying as he seems. Just get accustomed to his chilly face and you would feel that it’s normal,” only to be yanked away by Xia Jieye, who had him sit in front of him and on his lap.
Hei Anjing willingly let the man hug him despite the fact that two strong arms were around his waist against his will. The crown prince and his black snake were left dumbfounded by such a blatant display of possessiveness.
“Speak if you need anything. Shut up, if you have nothing to say,” said Chun Hongyun-Jun.
They were used to the silent, emotionless demeanor of the reputed Chun Hongyun-Jun, but the guy in front of them is very different. He not only expresses his hate for the other in no uncertain terms, but he also openly displays his possessiveness. No matter who the individual was, he would stare at anyone who tried to approach his Dai Companion.
Hong Longqing mustered the strength to say, [Please help us! A high-ranked devil and his vessel had appeared in the Imperial Palace. We know we can’t win, so all we can do is ask for assistance.]
Hei Anjing questioned, “Who informed you that it was a true high-ranking devil, the little flood dragon beast beside you?”
Incredulous, the crown prince asked Heilan, who was seated next to him, [Lan-ge you’re a flood dragon?]
[My blood is mixed, and I’m unsure if my current condition will allow me to awaken my dragon blood. Furthermore,] Heilan added, [Even if I had dragon blood, it’s too thin to be termed dragon blood.]
“To awaken it he requires a lot of wealth and merit; alternatively, he can accumulate faith; as the next Emperor you can help him with accumulating faith; simply utilize him as a divine beast or an auspicious creature,” Xia Jieye said, looking entirely at his wife while ignoring the rest.
The Crown Prince was somewhat perplexed since, as Chun Hongyun-Jun had indicated, he didn’t know how he would be able to assist his buddy in awakening his dragon bloodline. Hei Anjing also contributes, acting oblivious to Hong Longqing’s confusion.
“It must be him, the former Sect head of the Jin Tiangui Sect and a wanted felon on the run, according to the high-ranking fiend you’ve stated,” said Mo Bing Jingling-Jun.
[Jin Huayu!!!] the crown prince screamed in shock.
Hei Anjing says, “He is much stronger than the first one I’ve captured previously, so be careful; he has two demons in his body.”
[Is he coming to assist my brother’s escape?] Hong Longqing questioned.
“No, the demons accompanying him must be prepared to gather the five lineages that can be utilized as a key to dismantling the barrier enclosing the Mortal Realm. If he appears before you, you must be his target,” stated Mo Bing Jingling-Jun.
[Me?] the Crown Prince said. [In the castle, there are far too many princes and princesses. Why pick on me?]
“Maybe he dislikes you,” Xia Jieye stated.
Hong Longqing pondered what had transpired between him and Sect Master Jin for a while. He could still clearly remember how he had publicly shown his contempt for an unwanted child-like Sect Master Jin. All of his illegitimate siblings lived in the Imperial Palace before him, and he despises them all to the core. They have all sorts of irritating thoughts racing through their brains, are greedy, and are full of poor ideas. Even their intention to have him removed from his role as Crown Prince is openly expressed.
The Crown Prince mumbles, [He indeed hates me a lot. Well I don’t like him either.]
Hei Anjing said, “If you’re frightened, remain with your father. Also, if he asks about your friend, just say I approved it and it’s okay to keep it. We will be there as quickly as possible. Later, make sure your blood isn’t stolen by him.”
[Oka–....!!!]
Before the Crown Prince and Heilan could finish speaking, Chun Hongyun-Jun shut off connection with them. The moment the call was disconnected, the communication crystal became black.
“They shut off the communication, what do we do now?” questioned Hong Longqing.
Heilan reverted to his little black snake form and wrapped himself around the crown prince’s wrist, saying, “For now... Let’s go meet your father.”
“Are we going like this?” the Crown Prince questioned.
Hiss~ hiss~ (Go like this.)
Sigh~
“Okay. Let’s go. Imperial Father wouldn’t touch you if I mentioned Lord Hei,” said Hong Longqing.
Hiss~ hiss~ Hiss~ (Be careful. Avoid that servant)
“Un!”
However, as soon as Hong Longqing left his chamber, an old steward named Sun and another servant with a recognizable face greeted him. He had previously seen this man in his courtyard, but for some reason, he sensed something wasn’t right with him.
‘That’s the man from before,’ Heilan’s words ring in his head. ‘He’s got a human skin mask on. This face’s original owner must be deceased. Be composed and behave normally. A’Qing, don’t let him realize that you’re acting differently!’
“Grandpa Sun, I shall return late today. I need to speak with my Imperial Father concerning the trip to Lan Zhuayun Sect for Exchange Studies. Dinner can be prepared when I return.” The Crown Prince maintained his composure.
Steward Sun bowed his head to his master and replied, “As you wish, Your Highness!”
Hong Longqing gives them a quick glance and shakes his head before leaving. His heartbeat sounds like a booming drum, despite the fact that his steps appear to be normal. His robe’s long sleeves, which concealed his hands, were even quivering. This was enough to show his control over his reactions. He tries his best to hold back his fear. He made every effort to avoid catching Jin Baihua’s eyes, who was hiding behind a different face.
Jin Baihua’s narrow eyes and crimson flashes appear inside them as he notices the Crown Prince’s back becoming smaller.
Jin Baihua muttered, “Tonight. The Crown Prince of the Hong Dynasty will be no more. Hehe.”
A few moments ago, Jin Baihua, who was assuming a different appearance, used this opportunity to exert control over every servant in the Crown Prince’s courtyard while Hong Longqing and Heilan shut themselves in the chamber. He hypnotized them and even the covert guards that watch over the royal highness. weren’t spread. Moreover, he had intended to assassinate the Crown Prince tonight. Unbeknownst to Jin Baihua, Hong Longqing had no intention of returning to his own residence while Jin Baihua was still there.
