I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 704: 13.5 - Missed Star - Elimination Stage Ending

Inside the car, Ye Qiuji who was bundled up in a wool blanket is currently seated on Long Xieʼs lap using the latterʼs shoulder asleep. With his arms around the sleeping figure and hearing his breathing near his ears, Long Xie smiled in gratification. Heʼs in a hover car in unman and he was intending to bring him home. He left He Yuu to be with his fiancée, Tang Ruan to handle the children.

After checking through the records Long Xie knew that the pair of youngsters they met in the field were Ye Qiujiʼs little brother, Ye Wusheng, and his little brother that looks like a rabbit, Tu Zise. As soon as they arrived, Long Xie carried Ye Qiuji back to his room, then he cleaned up fast before laying next to him. He naturally pulled him over in his embrace then he saw Ye Qiuji instinctively wrap his hands around his waist as he did it a million times.

Seeing such a sweet gesture, Long Xie wrapped his arms around the formerʼs waist while thinking how much he should prepare to propose to the Regal Ye Clan to take the hand of their General. He is even willing to put Dragon Cosmos as his dowry as well, giving everything to his wife to own. He even sent a message to He Yuuʼs terminal to inform the Ye Family about his proposal ahead of time.

Once theyʼve agreed he will immediately prepare for the engagement ceremony and talk about their wedding when his wife agrees to it. After deciding that he closed his eyes to have his first relaxing sleep in his whole lifetime.

While the couple is happily spending their time together the Ye Family was in chaos instead. Tang Ruan and He Yuu brought the kids home and immediately the Ye Old Couple informed them about the love affair between Ye Qiuji and Long Xie. Once the old couple heard that their eldestʼs suitor is none other than the famous Long Huangdi, their eyes widened in shock.

Moreover, a few secretly taken pictures using He Yuuʼs terminal were shown before them as proof. They have never seen their eldest son letting other people enter his personal space at such a close distance. Even letting the latter carry him like a woman in his embrace. But unknowingly within their hearts, the photos of Ye Qiuji and Long Xieʼs loving photos looked perfect in their eyes not knowing why.

These two old same-sex couples could see in the photos that Long Xieʼs eyes tend to become tender and caring when looking at their eldest son. The same thing can be noticed within their sonʼs eyes which were usually distant and mischievous only when looking at Long Xie that Ye Qiujiʼs eyes become soft and loving. The two looked like old married couples instead.

Ye Father asked, ”Are these photos real? Not a counterfeit?”

Tang Ruan replied, ”Uncle Ye, I swear that all those photos were real!”

”Hm? They looked like theyʼd known each other for a long time. Are you sure this is the first time theyʼve met, Ruʼer, AʼHe?” asked Ye Daddy.

Tang Ruan and He Yuu looked at one another before answering. ”Not sure. If theyʼve met secretly before without informing even us then, itʼs only them who knows.”

Ye Daddy asked, ”Whatʼs their current relationship then?”

”Lovers? They seem to be one.” Tang Ruan answered.

Ye Father. ”Let them be since they are already in a relationship. Donʼt tell me Long Huangdi[1] will ask my sonʼs hand for marriage, wonʼt you? Hahaha”

Once he said that He Yuu who just received a personal message from his boss could only smile bitterly when he heard what Ye Father just joked around with. Noticing his loverʼs weird expression, he knew that something was up this time.

Tang Ruan asked, ”What is it AʼYuu?”

”Uncle Ye it seems youʼve hit the jackpot this time. Boss Long just sent me a message to inform you that he wishes to propose to Ye Qiuji, asking for his hand for marriage. He even said he is willing to put Dragon Cosmos under Ye Qiujiʼs name for dowry.” Said He Yuu.

SILENCE~

The three on the other hand were stunned by what theyʼd just heard. Dragon Cosmos. What Dragon Cosmos? There is only one Dragon Cosmos in the whole universe. It is a small star that rivalʼs their Ye Familyʼs Autumn Cosmos. Having Dragon Cosmos in possession means that you have the worldʼs strongest military power.

Something that rivals the imperial clanʼs authority over the whole world while this Imperial Clanʼs power was held in charge by their eldest son as he controls the Royal family in the shadows. If Long Xie really gives Dragon Cosmos to their eldest son as a dowry wouldnʼt that mean that Ye Clan controls the whole world!?

Ye Father murmured in disbelief, ”Propose? Dowry? Dragon Cosmos?” he fainted after saying all those things.

Ye Daddy screamed as he saw his husband lose consciousness, ”Darling!?”

Once again chaos fell within the Ye Clan.

When morning arrived, Long Xie brought Ye Qiuji to the company pretending to be a husband accompanying his wife to play around. Tang Ruan and He Yuu join their boss to play around as well. The four of them used fake identities to play as trainees.

Theyʼve also altered their names. Long Xie used Xie Long while He Yuu used Tang Yuu taking his wifeʼs name. Snowflakes Entertainment Company knew about their real identities and knew that this group of monsters was only joining to play around. Once this group of four entered their designated room the instructor inside froze for a moment when he saw this group of beautiful and handsome people.

He fell in trance for a minute but seeing the interaction within the group he could see that the silver-haired goddess who ranked first in the qualifying match is a lover of the tall handsome and obsidian-colored-haired man with captivating features. The cool dark-skinned beauty seems to be lovers with the silly-looking blonde handsome man.

The instructor said, ”Okay, weʼre all here. Now this will be your team. How about first choosing someone for the C-Position.” When they heard the man looking for the C-Position they all looked at the silver-haired man in their group.

Long Xie pats his sweetheartʼs head, ”Qiuʼer, take the position Iʼll protect you from the back.”

”Okay. Protect me well, AʼXie.” Replied Ye Qiuji as he smiled at his husband.

Within the bright and sunny training room, the specially invited instructor took out a small notebook and began to record the contestantʼs qualifications one by one. Hearing their accomplishments, he was in disbelief and dragged a staff within the company to clarify a few things with regards to this group of attractive trainees.

When he listed their qualifications, he was dumbstruck as to why this group is still trainees when their accomplishment was beyond normal. The one who took the C-Position which is the silver hair goddess was ranked first at the last qualifying competition and got 113 kills in an hour and took a nap the rest of the game.

The Cool beauty ranked second with 100 kills and has played the role of support and scout. The frivolous-looking noble prince with blonde hair has an assault position with a full A-Class Physique while the black-haired boss is an all-rounder who has an A+ Class Physique and shooting accuracy of 100% in both categories.

The instructor gave them a double look before seriously commenting, ”Why donʼt you play on professional grounds instead?”

Ye Qiuji gave him a mischievous smile but still answered honestly, ”Iʼm lazy.”

”I only came to babysit him,” said Tang Ruan who pointed at Ye Qiuji.

Long Xie spoke, ”Accompanying my wife.” Looked at Ye Qiuji who held his hands.

”Same as above.” Replied as he held Tang Ruanʼs shoulders with a wide grin on his face.

Their answers left the instructor dumbfounded then looked at the silver goddess who seems to be the reason why this elite team exists. He could only sigh in defeat as looking at the smiling face of their C-Position that he is indeed lazy by nature and playing professionally will be impossible. Ye Qiujiʼs name now has the letter C in front of it. the screen flashed and then switched to the display they had drawn for the next match, the wild desert.

Instructor explained. ”The second evaluation match will last for a total of seven minutes. It is held within a holographic simulation environment where the desert surface is. Yes, when the time comes there will be six fans blowing hot air at you. Remember to bring an ice pack before going in to minimize heat stroke. Your enemies are giant lizards that are approximately half as tall as humans. Note there will be a limited number of weapons to choose from: cold steel weapons are basically optional. There will be three waves of giant lizard attacks over the seven minutes and those who fail to defend themselves will be eliminated.”

He Yuu retorted, ”Isnʼt this basically a tower defense with a small group?”

The instructor responded, ”Yes. You can see it as that.”

Ye Qiuji innocently asked, ”Isnʼt it faster to jump in the middle of the lizards and eliminate them as a group? ”

”Indeed, but will you want to be covered in carcasses after killing the herd?” asked Tang Ruan.

Long Xie commented honestly, ”Qiuʼer I heard lizardʼs blood is gooey.”

Ye Qiuji who is a bit mysophobic paled. ”R-Really? AʼXie, I donʼt want to be in C-Position anymore!” said Ye Qiuji who immediately passed the C-position to his husband without hesitation.

”Sigh~ Okay.” Long Xie received it as he knew his wife would do that.

Tang Ruan commented, ”Autumn youʼre still mysophobic as always. What will you do if youʼre thrown in a desert?”

Ye Qiuji, ”Find an oasis.”

Tang Ruan, ”Underground?”

Ye Qiuji, ”Look for a water vein.”

Tang Ruan, ”In Arctic Lands?”

Ye Qiuji, ”AʼXie will find a way to heat my water.”

”Do you think itʼs easy to look at a heat source in Arctic Lands?” retorted Tang Ruan.

”Donʼt worry, Qiuʼer. I will find a way for you to clean yourself. No matter which places we are.” said Long Xie. Ye Qiuji happily hugged him when he heard that.

Seeing the main couple feeding the audience with dog food once again, Tang Ruan couldnʼt be helped by saying, ”Idiot Couple.” Beside him, He Yuu and the instructor nodded their heads in agreement.

”Cough! …Okay, let me continue with the explanation. If the lizard gets close to you, a small number of points will be deducted. If no points are deducted you get a B grade guaranteed. A brilliant performance may result in an A or S grade rating. Remember, your initial trainee rating will determine the frequency of your appearance during the shows and later matched. Of course, exceptions might be made. Yes, there is no problem in receiving exceptions with your features. Change your clothes and letʼs begin after.” Said the instructor.

The group left to change their clothes to uniformed black outfits and their faces were painted with totems representing the splendor of the desert. The lovers received a couple motifs of opposite colors. The originally phoenix-shaped eyes of Ye Qiuji were drawn out with long slender lines. The stroke on the left side is a black painted motif of a desert snake.

Long Xie received the same motif as Ye Qiuji but dyed silver. The other couple got a scorpion design of the opposite color on their hands instead. Once the practice evaluation was finished the instructor was speechless and was about to go crazy.

He runs out of the room and they can hear him shouting the words ʼWhy are they trainees and not playing professionally instead!?ʼ but the couple ignored it and asked around if they were free now that the instructor had taken his leave. Once they got the okay sign the group left the building to go on a group date at the nearby café.
