Chapter 459 “An Unexpected Encounter Again”
“Yin Jiu, are you an enemy or friend? If you are an enemy then even if you are Feng Shen’s brother, I will still fight you.” Ye Ling Yue’s remark instantly causes the mood in the room to freeze up.
This lassie from the Ye family sure is brave for being so young, Yin Jiu reveals a wry smile, intrigued by the courage in his brother’s future prospect.
“Miss, you mustn’t misunderstand. I can’t make any claim for other things, but at least in regard to this black fog I am on the same camp as you. Don’t forget, this Underground City #9 is also located in the Northwestern Plains. If the residents are in trouble then that wouldn’t be good for business.”
In order to prevent the black fog from affecting this Underground City #9, Yin Jiu had to set up a barrier around the settlement and even had to relocate on more than one occasion. To be clear, these are all laborious tasks, meaning it’s a chore in itself for a lazy person like him.
“If you know the cause of the black fog then does that mean you went into the Black Valley?!” Ling Yue was shocked because she had never told anyone about that thing inside the depths of the forest.
“Miss Ling Yue, the truth is this is actually the second time we met. I’m sure you have also seen the Demon Eye inside the Black Valley right?” Turns out the one from back then was none other than this man, just that he never made a formal greeting during their last encounter.
But that’s not what caught Ling Yue off guard though, it’s the fact that he knows the origin of that eyeball and could even name it!
If Qiu Tian was still in her perfect state then naturally the carnivorous plant would divulge these key pieces of information. Sadly, with the plant’s current form, not only could she not confront such a monster, her memories were also a total mess. That’s why Qiu Tian would urge Ling Yue to leave, she only had a hunch it’s dangerous and nothing more.
“And what exactly is this Demon Eye that you speak of?” Dignified in her expression, she needs to know.
“The Demon Eye is the eye of the ancient Demon Ancestor. In times so old that you couldn’t even begin to fathom, the Demons, Celestials and mortals were one and the same. But because of the Demon Ancestor’s hunger for power, all three forces had to join hands to destroy him, tearing his physical body from limb to limb in order to prevent a resurrection. The Demon Eye that you saw is just a piece of him, there are many more scattered across the lands.”
Regarding this piece history, not many out there even knows about it anymore, and those that do only know bits and pieces at most.
“From what you saying is that North Qing has the mean to reseal the Demon Eye?” Ling Yue got the aching suspicion that the Underground Palace has some sort of connection to this but couldn’t quite say where.
“Before we begin discussing the matter of sealing the Demon Eye, Miss, I first need you to go meet another person first. He’s too troublesome that even I can’t handle him.” Making a cough to clear his voice, Yin Jiu spreads his hands apart like he’s utterly helpless here.
As it turns out, the one raising up a ruckus was an old acquaintance of hers. Therefore, when Ling Yue arrived on scene, the girl almost wanted to face palm herself. It’s because the one fighting with a bunch of Reapers were none other than Bo Qing, the one person she didn’t want to deal with right now.
Several days ago back when they first learned of Yin Jiu taking away their friend for treatment, the group naturally felt somewhat relieved it’s not for some sort of severe punishment. However, when Bo Qing learned of Red Thirteen’s disfigured appearance, the lad immediately stormed out of the residence and even lectured Yin Jiu on not properly disciplining his subordinates.
But who’s Yin Jiu? He’s the ruler of this Underground City, there’s no way a smiling tiger would just take it. As such, the City Lord did what he knew best and expelled the unruly lad out of his turf the Underground City, hence the reason why the fight ensued.
“Bo Qing? What are you doing here?”
Due to the heat of the battle, Bo Qing had to take a second to turn his head around and locate that voice. But when he did, the unforgettable smile instantly captures that face like its glowing.
“Thirteen, it really is you! I knew it, I knew you couldn’t have died so easily!” As someone who wasn’t keen on hiding their emotions, the lad’s joy could easily be read on that face, which was instantly materialized into a heartfelt hug.
Due to how fast the lad moved there, even Yin Jiu was taken aback by him.
“You are so ugly like this. It’s like a dumpling!”
Originally Ling Yue actually felt somewhat touched by Bo Qing’s care and intimacy; however, that instantly shattered upon hearing the word “dumpling” from that careless mouth. A thousand angry beasts were roaring within her, evident of how enraged she was over the description.
You are the dumpling, your whole family is a dumpling!
“Its okay, I won’t dislike you just because you became like that. It’s all that hateful Yin Jiu’s fault for not disciplining his subordinates properly. No wait, it’s that bastard Wu Chong’s fault actually. You obviously didn’t die yet he lied to me about it. What’s more, he even had the nerve to stash you away in this Underground City #9.”
Just thinking back to how much he endured and suffered during this period was hard enough, but that doesn’t matter anymore, he has his Thirteen now. Regardless of that dumpling appearance, he would accept it all!
What kind of situation is this? Yin Jiu was blinking his eyes in confusion.
