"Yes, Yu Long."
"You're going-! No, you must become this world's savior!"
A complete silence struck the throne room as Yu Long casually stood there, unfazed by Ye Xiu's words. His expression shows nothing but complete calmness.
Yu Long gazed at Ye Xiu and chuckled, "The world's savior? That sounds funny to me."
After all, Yu Long has saved the world once.
And now someone told him he must save another.
The life of a savior is painful and filled with loneliness.If Yu Long or Kurogami Hayate didn't have loving companions on his lone wolf journey, he might have become a completely different person.
He hoped that would never happen.
After thinking about it briefly, Yu Long gazed at them and smiled, "Sorry, but I refuse."
"W-What?" Ye Xiu and the other rulers were speechless.
Aren't youth supposed to be hot-blooded and enthusiastic?
Who wouldn't accept such a role to be a savior?
Well, Yu Long did.
Yu Long shook his head gently and questioned this instead, "What's good about becoming a savior? I can't live peacefully because the fate of this world will be on my fucking shoulders."
"I have so many women on my hands already. Do you think I have enough time to be a savior?"
Ye Xiu and other rulers' mouths twitched in disbelief.
"So you think women are more important than the world?" A feminine voice retorted.
"Yu Long, you can't be like this. Please think of the bigger picture."
Yu Long gazed at the fifth throne and spotted a dignified-looking woman wearing a blue imperial dress. She has long yet silky black hair and deep purple eyes.
"And you're?" Yu Long acts carefreely.
The woman in blue smiled, "My title is the Sea Queen, but you can refer to me as Ye Shenyi or Ancestor Shengyi."
"Well, you see, Ancestor Shenyi." Yu Long crossed his arms imposingly.
"Not any woman is more important than the world."
"MY WOMAN is more important than the world!"
His voice boomed in the room.
Feng Xue'er and Yuyan froze on the spot.
"Big Brother..."
"Master..."
They looked at Yu Long and couldn't help but feel touched. Their eyes moistened slightly.
Even though Yu Long hasn't taken them, they have opened their hearts for him. Yuyan has been on Yu Long's side for years, while Feng Xue'er finally bloomed her feelings at this very moment.
"B-But do you have the power to do so?" Another ruler asked. Yu Long couldn't see the appearance, but it was the sixth ruler.
"Again, you're?" Yu Long couldn't help but ask.
Aih, these predecessors are just spouting nonsense without introducing themselves.
"Actually, fuck it. Can you guys introduce yourself one by one?"
Yu Long could see their mouths visibly twitching. Of course, the seventh ruler is different, as his golden eyes twitched under that hood.
"We can skip Ancestor Xiu and Ancestor Shenyi."
"Oh, Grandpa Sanshan also."
"That's rude!" Xu Sanshan complained and swayed his fist at him. "Don't you want to know your grandpa's awesome title?"
Yu Long ignored Xu Sanshan and stared at the second throne, "Please."
The one who sits on the second throne is a woman in a loose sleeping robe. She had messy silver hair but still looked beautiful with those piercing ruby eyes and femme fatale face.
Yawn~!
"Sleepy Queen, Ye Zhuqing."
"Unless you want to discuss arrays, don't wake me up." After saying that, she fell asleep on her throne.
'Well, that's an interesting start.' Yu Long thought to himself.
Shortly after, a calm-looking man appeared on the third throne and lit a tobacco to smoke. He wears a thin bathing robe and short black pants, showing no traits of nobility. Well, his eyes are dim golden.
"Medicine King, Ye Yaozi." He smoked his tobacco.
"Nice to meet you, little dragon. I heard you are very skilled in alchemy and medicine."
"Let's talk some more later."
"You should really stop smoking, pop. It's not good for your health." The fourth ruler sighed. It was a muscular woman in a tight yukata, wearing a head jewel instead of a crown.
Even though the fourth ruler isn't that attractive, she has this warm aura around her. Yup, something anyone wouldn't expect from a devil's bloodline inheritor.
The fourth ruler glanced at Yu Long and smiled, "Queen of Combat, Ye Zun'er."
"I hope you consider becoming the savior, Yu Long. It means a lot to our lineage."
Yu Long shrugged, "Let's not talk about that for now."
"Sixth Ancestor, please."
Sitting on the sixth throne is actually a young lady in a white dress. She styled her brown hair in twin tails and had nervous green eyes, which made her look very meek.
"Rong'er, you're making his meeting longer than it should. Also, you're the one who questioned him earlier." Ancestor Shenyi called her out gently.
"S-Sorry!" The sixth ruler covered her face with her hands.
"You shouldn't respond to me."
"Yes, mother!"
Ancestor Shenyi facepalmed and sighed helplessly, "I don't know what to do with you."
The sixth ruler looked at Yu Long and stuttered, "S-S-Serpent Queen, Ye Wanrong."
"Well..." The seventh ruler had a goofy smile on his face. He's a middle-aged man with a muscular build and a majestic-looking white beard.
"My title is Mountain King. As for the name, it's Ye Tiannan."
"I'm your great-grandfather, Yu Long."
"I know, literally eight of you are related to me." Yu Long said as a matter of fact.
"I can't comment on that." Ye Tiannan and the previous rulers shook their heads.
"Me next! Yu Long, I'm next!" Xu Sanshan stubbornly raised his arm.
"Go on..." Yu Long couldn't do anything with this grandpa of his.
Xu Shanshan, or what we should call Ye Sanshan, smugly lifted his nose and introduced himself, "Remember your grandpa's title well, Yu Long."
"My title is King of Ironblood!"
"Very cool, isn't it?"
Yu Long stared at the empty ninth throne and commented, "So, I assume that throne is for my mother."
"Yes." Ye Sanshan nodded his head.
"We haven't decided on a title yet, and I didn't want to drag her into this side of the world previously..."
"Well, it was too late now."
"I can't blame her for birthing a heavenly demon like you."
"You know you're calling your grandson a demon, right?" Yu Long snorted at him.
"Because you're one, Yu Long."
"But wouldn't that make you a greater demon?"
"That is..."
"Damn it, you're playing rhetorical questions on me!"
Yu Long chuckled, "I didn't."
"But we probably should call my mother in this conversation."
"She's part of the Eternal Night Royal Family and the 9th generation ruler, though my grandpa oversaw everything until now."
The ancestors glanced at each other before nodding their heads.
Ye Xiu created a portal on the ninth throne, "Very well, Little Xin is indeed part of our family, and she deserved to know more about the truth."
After a few seconds, everyone could see Yu Xin entering the throne room with a puzzled look. She has an unfinished cup of tea in her right hand.
"This... Where am I?" She murmured in confusion.
"Father?"
"Yu Long?"
"What are you guys doing here?"
Ye Xiu coughed and explained, "Little Xin, you're currently inside the Eternal Night Royal Family's Ancestral Clan."
"I'm summoning here through our bloodline link and discussing Yu Long's future."
"Please sit down on your throne."
"My throne?" Yu Xin glanced at the grandiose-looking rock throne behind her. "Also, what do you mean by Yu Long's future, err..."
"I'm Ancestor Ye Xiu."
"Ancestor, what do you mean by discussing Yu Long's future?" She huffed slightly.
"Yu Long is an adult."
"He has matured enough to decide everything on his own."
"On top of that, I don't think we need to lecture him about anything except for living a good life."
"Do you even know just how hard he had been to himself? My daughter-in-law has sent me several letters, saying Yu Long barely rested due to constant work."
"But the world is at stake..." Ye Xiu emphasized again.
"We could only rely on Yu Long to solve it."
"Well, Yu Long must marry first and give me grandbabies to hold..." Yu Xin countered casually.
"..." Everyone.
Yu Xin peeked at the beautiful girl beside Yu Long, which caused her eyes to light up like a lightbulb. "Oh, my. Are you perhaps Feng Xue'er?"
"Y-Yes, ma'am." Feng Xue'er was nervous.
She didn't expect to meet Yu Long's mother this soon.
Yu Xin waved her hand, "Don't be too formal. You can call me a mother or mother-in-law, though I prefer the former."
"T-Then, mother..." Feng Xue'er incited a motherly feeling in Yu Xin.
"Such a nice girl." Yu Xin nodded in satisfaction.
"Yu Long, marry her!"
"..." Yu Long.
