I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 396: 9.15 Second Blue Star - Ghost Bride

What happened a few minutes ago before Xue Hua completely woke up.

Ghost King Xie Mo was about to bestow a deadly curse on Lou Lan as punishment for breaking their servile contract. Between him, the ghost king and this young manʼs Lou Clan but his attention moved when a glowing golden orb entered the empty vessel of that beaten man. It was only for a split moment, but he indeed saw a completely gold-colored soul.

The purity and strength of that soul were above his by few levels. Itʼs even stronger than his fox demigod friend, white gold soul. His attention was completely captured that he even subconsciously ignored the group of rude children just now but despite the others leaving, the figure on the splattered on the cold floor didnʼt move and just closed his eyes for a few moments after groaning in pain once. He waited. 

Waiting for a whole minute he watched him move and sat up while started stretching here and there. The Ghost King could even hear his joints clicking from stiffness. Xie Mo or Ye Xiajie couldnʼt understand why he couldnʼt remove his eyes from this childʼs figure. Observing him truly he couldnʼt see any hints of qi, like a waste he is supposed to be, but this boyʼs aura completely changes from a weakling beaten his whole life to a cold, indifferent persona. When those pairs of golden eyes wandered around the room and fell on him, Xie Mo could feel vague attraction which he couldnʼt understand why making him frown.

He could feel that this ladʼs eyes lingered on him secretly peeping on him but acting like he couldnʼt see him. This Ghost King was sure of two things. This young man can see him, and he is not the original soul of the vessel before him.

”Wife?” murmured Ye Xiajie but the young man didnʼt respond at all. 

When Xue Hua saw that this Ghost King decided to not make any move, he decided to leave the mansion first to take a bath. Once he stood up, the Ghost King flicked his fingers once and all the candles within the dark mansion lit up. All the candles inside the place suddenly got lit but despite such supernatural Xue Hua ignored everything preparing to leave the mansion. The Ghost King frowned when he saw the young man he was a bit interested in, wanting to leave. With a wave of his hand the Mansion gates and entrance closed with a bang, Xie Mo is not willing to let Xue Hua leave.

The Ghost King spoke, ”You cannot leave!” his words echoed within the mansion. Xie Mo knew that the boy could hear him, but he couldnʼt understand why he was ignoring him. ”Why are you ignoring me?” he asked.

It took a while before the boy decided to give him an answer. His tone is sarcastic as if telling him why he is even asking. ”Heh, ~ didnʼt you ignore me when they threw me on the floor looking like a rag? Hum~” replied Xue Hua.

The Ghost King left his throne after feeling uncomfortable that the young man was talking to him but not looking at him. Adding the sarcastic tone in his voice, he felt unease. Once he stood behind the lad he pulled his arm and twisted him, forcing him to face him. Only to see those alluring golden irises that stare at him indolently and apathetic making his heart restless and nervous.

These eyes overlap with the ones in his nightmare. Ever since he woke up in this world, he had always dreamed of his Hei Anjing not forgiving him. Those tender yet playful eyes would always stare at him full of affection suddenly fading with only coldness and hatred in his eyes.

This is Ye Xiajieʼs usual nightmare. After all, he and his wife parted in a bad way in the last world. He knew that his wife was still angry at him but at the same time had no memories of him.

As if afraid of angering the young man, observing him closely he could see that this child has phoenix-shaped eyes, a small nose, and plump red lips. The traces of blood on his exquisite features made him even more enchanting with his cold and perilous aura made him look like a little devil. The Ghost King saw the warning within those golden eyes and took a step back.

The Ghost King gave him an answer. ”Iʼve never ignored you. The one before on the ground is… not you. Iʼve been watching you the whole time even when… you woke up.” Said Xie Mo.

Xue Hua squinted his eyes closely observing this Ghost King before him. Lingering on the thoughts that this little ghost might be the husband that was shown in his dreams but he didnʼt notice that this manʼs expressions at the moment soften his aura a bit around him then when he remembered that this manʼs chosen Ghost Bride is that scum shou according to the memories or plot that the glowing ball gave him once again made him angry

”Hmp! I donʼt understand what you mean. Anyway, Iʼm going home.” Said Xue Hua and felt that he was pulled over and his waist was grabbed from behind.

Ye Xiajie spoke, ”No. no. You canʼt leave! You are my bride. You can only stay by my side. I wonʼt allow you to escape. Mine. Mine. You are my bride.” He tightly hugged him from behind fearing his departure.

Xue Hua could feel the familiar sense of obsession and possessiveness within those cold arms that cage him from behind. Even without checking twice, he knew that this Ghost King is the same man in those prophetic dreams of him but Xue Hua didnʼt want to spoil him as he still indeed just watched him in pain just now which pissed him off. Somewhere deep inside his heart, he felt something that he couldnʼt understand. He somewhat feels that he likes this person but at the same time hates him. But as far as he could remember, this is supposed to be his first time meeting this man.

He would have never expected that his dormant personality had been sleeping within him and only hints of their feelings can be felt by him. 

Xue Hua, ”Who the hell is your bride?! Itʼs obvious that you want to take Lou Lan as your Sacrificial Bride just now!”

”I donʼt. I wonʼt. I only want you. No one else. I choose you. You are my bride. Mine… Letʼs complete wedding ceremonies.” Whispered Xie Mo from behind then Xue Hua felt himself losing consciousness. He can only curse at him before he completely blackouts.

Xue Hua cursed. ”Bas…tard…”

---

That night Xue Hua fell into a deep sleep. Yet in dazed he heard a lively sound, approaching from afar. Gongs and drums clashing with noise played joyful music. The type of music playing during traditional wedding ceremonies sounded cheerful and lively. The song played until the doorway and then stopped. Xue Hua can sense his body lifted up gently and carefully as if completely afraid of hurting him. This familiar touch is obviously his husband.

Once he felt himself being out, Xue Hua forcibly removed the spell that prevented him from moving and opened his eyes. The moment the spell was broken his crimson orbs were revealed, startling everyone, especially the Ghost King who was half carrying him in his arms. He felt him stiffened for a moment and looked at him gloomily. Thereʼs a moment of silence within the room. Xue Hua first ignored his silly husband and gave the ghost servants that are supposed to help him prepare for a wedding a warning gaze.

Xue Hua didnʼt act like he couldnʼt see these ghosts at this point as he glared at the Ghost King the moment he opened his eyes.

”Out. Wait for your summon.” He ordered.

The words that came out of his mouth were natural like he had done it a thousand times. Feeling the cold and overbearing aura around him, the ghosts felt they were in front of another Ghost King whom they feared subconsciously. They lowered their heads in salute before going out of the room, even closing the room behind them.

Xue Hua then gave his husband a glare, ”Put me down now.”

The Ghost King reluctantly put him down on the soft chair under him as he kneeled beside him. Xie Mo could vaguely feel that his bride is pissed off with him and he knew that his wife in this world indeed could not remember him at all. When he checked on his soul while the latter was asleep he realized that the soul of Hei Anjing had weakened to the point that the latter couldnʼt even wake up his real soul in this world. He instinctively lowered his head dejectedly.

Seeing his husbandʼs worrisome figure, he gently used his hand and raised the ghost kingʼs head, forcing him to look at him properly. Though those scenes in the dreams are considered dreams, it still felt real as if that was reality itself and Xue Huaʼs feelings for this Ghost King were greatly affected. He doesnʼt hate him but there is a disappointment hidden in his heart which he couldnʼt explain. Since he couldnʼt understand Xue Hua choose to ignore it instead.

Xue Hua, ”First tell me your name. I am Xue Hua. You can call me all you want.”

”Iʼm named in this world as Xie Mo but my real name is Ye Xiajie. Huaʼer, donʼt get angry. Iʼm sorry.” Said the Ghost King. ”Please marry me.”

Slightly squinting his eyes when he heard the real name of this ghost king before him, Xue Ua knew that he is indeed the same man from those prophetic dreams he always has at night. Plus, didnʼt that glowing ball give him this worldʼs whole story though he never expected to be just mere cannon fodder. But this man and that ball gave him some hints.

It seems that his real identity is much more than he had expected it to be. He seems to be an outsider like these guys. He chooses the route that would give him the clearest answer and decides to marry this Ghost King. His prophetic dreams show his future. This man would still become his husband in the future and marrying him now ensured that.

”...Sure. But before that letʼs talk about something… after marriage, you must use a modern man form. Weʼre in the modern era. We canʼt even go out on dates if youʼre in ancient clothes.”

”I will become a modern man after marriage.”

”Second, never force me. If you do this again I donʼt mind letting you live in the living room all your life!” 

Nodding.

”Third, you listen to me. In this world, I am the only person you must spoil, care for, pamper and love. If you dare to like someone else I will kill that thing and you, next. No Harem! You can only love me!”

”I vowed. I wonʼt. Only you.”

Hearing his answer a true smile appeared on Xue Huaʼs face and kissed his husbandʼs forehead leaving him stunned before shooing him away to begin changing his clothes. 

”Go. Send the servants inside. We will continue the marriage. Out now!”

Ye Xiajie anxiously stood up intending to leave the room but hugged Xue Hua tightly once, kissing his hair before leaving the room sending the servants inside to serve his bride and continue their wedding. Xue Huaʼs youthful laughter resounds from behind him. Once the preparations of the bride were finished, Xue Hua entered the sedan wearing a crimson traditional wedding robe on his slender body. The Ancient wedding between Xue Hua and the Ghost King, Xie Mo, officially began.
