Heavenly Star

When Ye Wuchen left, Shui Mengchan suddenly stood. At the same time, two black shadows appeared at her side, their faces looked terrified.

“Princess, could they really be…” Lei and Yun’s faces somehow turned paler. The seven of them under Shui Mengchan were orphans who depended on each other for support which had been formed over a long period of time. The news of the deaths of Feng, Hua, Xue, and Yue were the same as seeing thunder from a clear sky.

“You should go to the Devil’s Trap Pagoda to investigate at once… Remember to never go inside the Devil’s Trap Pagoda.” Shui Mengchan said, forcing herself to remain calm.

“Yes!” Lei and Yun responded before they left with their hearts as anxious as flames.

Ye Wuchen led Ning Xue to wander around the streets for two loops. He bought some pairs of princess shoes for Tong Xin, as well as undergarments, socks, and the like. Of course, their colors were pure black. The powers that Tong Xin possessed were darkness and death, the relative opposite of light and vitality. The moment that the surprising thought came to his mind, he started to observe Ning Xue, but he was not able to feel the presence of any power at all. She was just like an ordinary young lady.

At this time, the pitiful Ye Qi, who had no idea that Ye Wuchen had left, came knocking on the door of Ye Wuchen’s room.

“Young master, madame asks that you see her.”

For quite a while, there was no response. Ye Qi knocked once again, and said, “Young master, madame wants to discuss something with you.”

Tong Xin was comfortably soaking in the warm water. Eventually, her gaze grew cold and she abruptly released an intangible air of death.

Suddenly, Ye Qi felt like he was falling into a freezingly cold ice cave, he felt cold from his skin to his internal organs. Vaguely, he felt a bloody pair of eyes staring at him from an unknown corner that brought him a kind of terrible fear of death.

Ye Qi’s whole body tremble before he softly collapsed to the floor, then retreated back, crawling away like a crazy person. When he finally reached the distance of around ten meters, the terrible feeling suddenly disappeared. Ye Qi’s went pale as he was lying on the floor panting and heart beating like a drum, as if he had just had a nightmare.

Ye Qi became seriously ill for the next three days because of this.

The culprit was Tong Xin, who was now using her naughty fingers to draw lines on the water’s surface. Her face had an innocent smile which would charm ordinary people and her eyes look very pure and sinless. At this moment, anyone who saw her would not believe that she was the frightening Cursed Woman that the entire continent feared.

When Ye Wuchen and Ning Xue returned, Ye Qi was still lying on the floor half-dead with his face awfully pale and white. At first, Ye Wuchen was shocked, but somehow realized what might have happened. He had no choice but to ask Ye Ba to help Ye Qi up to go rest. From Ye Wuchen’s mental toughness during the time when those eyes bore into his back, he had felt unimaginable fear, so Ye Qi would have been worse off

Among the people of Heavenly Star, no one had a more murderous spirit than Tong Xin, because nobody had killed more people than she did.

And from now on Tong Xin, the Cursed Woman, remained beside Ye Wuchen, becoming his protection like a sharp blade. Even if this cursed daughter of god remembered her past, she would never leave Ye Wuchen, a man whose marks were sealed in the deepest part of her soul.

…………………………

Meng Yan Lou.

Lei and Yun, who had gone out now came back full of tears. With mournful and trembling voices, they narrated what they had found to Shui Mengchan.

The ground was full of bloodstains, Tao BaiBai’s weapon, swords that belonged to the Southern Empire, as well as that incredibly deep hole—all proved that Ye Wuchen did not lie. Whether it was Tao BaiBai or the four women, Feng, Hua, Xue, and Yue, they were all dead.

“Is it really that extreme?”

“Yes… Judging from the soil, it seems like the hole was formed not long ago. Furthermore, it is deep enough that we cannot see its bottom. That much damage could only be achieved by our clan leader. Using such an attack, killing Tao BaiBai would have been a very easy task.” Lei said as she tried very hard to hold back her tears. For them to lose four sisters in one incident, hers and Yun’s emotions were uncontrollable.

“Princess, I suspect that Ye Wuchen must have used the enchanted device to kill them together with Tao BaiBai! Why else can’t we find their corpses? Ye Wuchen said he had buried their corpses together… Maybe that was just a cover up!” Yun said with gritted teeth. They believed the existence of the “enchanted device” as Ye Wuchen had described, because aside from this explanation, they could not believe that Ye Wuchen had other ways to create such terrible damage. To the person who had killed Feng, Hua, Xue, and Yue, they hated him to their bones!

Shui Mengchan was silent, but she shook her head, “Why would he do such thing that was not beneficial to him? He is wise. Moreover, he didn’t have any conflicts with our Southern Empire, so he is unlikely to do such thing to start a feud with us.”

She did not say that even if he was the one who did it, for the sake of the Sword of Southern Empire, they would regard it as if they knew nothing. The Southern Empire Clan was willing to give up everything but the Southern Empire Sword. They did not fear any threat that was brought upon them, yet any threat against the Sword of the Southern Empire was the only exception.

“Lei, Yun, quickly bring thjs news to my brother. Tell him everything and advise him to eliminate the entire Thousand Murders Pavilion and not to leave a single soul alive as soon as possible.”

The words full of hatred that blurted out from the mouth of this dream-like lady still sounded as gentle as the wind. Only, the wind was now full of bone-chilling coldness.

“Yes!”

Although the two, Lei and Yun, wanted to personally eliminate the Thousand Murders Pavilion to avenge their sisters, they had to restrain themselves. There was nothing more important than protecting and assisting their princess.

Seven days later, the news of how the Thousand Murders Pavilion had been eliminated without any trace circulated around the entire Tian Long Nation. For a moment, continent had been stirred emotionally. They tried to guess who among the powerful individuals could have the might to do it.

In this way, Ye Wuchen used the Sword of the Southern Empire as a bait for the Southern Empire Clan to eliminate the Thousand Murders Pavilion, the ones who had the greatest desire to take his life, with ease.

As for Long Yin… Ye Wuchen was not a person who easily forgets, more so an enemy who had almost taken his life. For the time being, he would not kill him yet, because if the Emperor died, the Gale Nation would launch their invasion during a time when Tian Long had no leader. The peace that he had earnestly hoped for would thereupon be broken, and that was the outcome he refused to let happen. But it was only for now that the Emperor cannot be killed, and he did not mind reaping some of the benefits he could get for the meantime.

…………………………

In the Ye Residence, lights were brightly lit.

Helping Ning Xue with her bath every night before they slept became a daily habit for Ye Wuchen. This was also the most enjoyable thing they did everyday. Ning Xue’s body had never given rise to his lustful desires, only adoration. When he gently caressed and stroked her body, it was just like caressing his most valuable and most inseparable possession. This kind of feeling was unlike the love for one’s family or the romantic love, it was the kind of love that was created by thoughts and souls, a mutual attachment that never faded.

It was during the time that Ning Xue had been helpless and rejected by everybody that Ye Wuchen held her hands. He had told her then that he would protect her forever.

And the moment that Ye Wuchen’s life hung by a thread, it was Ning Xue who risked her life to save his.

But facing Tong Xin have him a totally a different feeling.

Ning Xue was gently stripped naked and carried to the bathtub, but Tong Xin… her eyes burst with excitement as she took off her dress while Ye Wuchen stood stupefied. Then, with a jump, and a plop she also went inside the bathtub. She looked at Ye Wuchen with her face full of smiles, completely unaware that her body affected him greatly. After her soak in the warm water this afternoon, she began to like this feeling.

Ye Wuchen used all his will to shift his gaze, covering his nose as he turned around. The moment he saw Tong Xin’s body, a strong smell of blood quickly rushed to his nose, and the smell had penetrated through his body. Even when Hua Shuirou’s soft breasts were exposed in front of him, his reaction then was not as strong as this one.

She did not only have a murderous spirit, but she possessed very deadly charms. Ye Wuchen did not believe that any man would be able to resist her charm when she grew older

“Xue-er, go help your sister first… After washing, help her with her clothes, then you call me.” Ye Wuchen quickly stepped out of the room and went out to get some air.

Ye Ning Xue made a sound of agreement though she did not completely understand. She held up a pail of water, smiled and said, “Sister Tong Xin, brother wants me to help you take a bath.”

The bath tub is quite big, and two fragile young ladies inside had enough space to spare without feeling the slightest degree of being crowded. Ning Xue’s bosom slightly protruded, but Tong Xin’s was already an appropriate size. In the midst of her snowy white skin, two pearly white, well-rounded breasts were soft and delicate like the springtime bamboo shoots, so beautiful that they could cause one to lose their breath. Her skin was dazzling white in contrast to her black hair, almost as snowy white as Ning Xue’s.

Cool night wind blew towards Ye Wuchen. Eventually, the flow of heat from his lower abdomen started to fade. Ning Xue’s laughter and the sound of the two ladies splashing water resounded in his ears. He laughed too, and thought that if others were to hear this, they would think that his reputation of being a pedophile was true.

He lifted his head to look at the sky where a slanted half-moon was suspended high up. After a few days, it would be a full moon again. Would his nightmares return?

Today was the tenth day since his arrival to Tian Long City. Within these ten days, a lot of things had happened, but few were of his doing. A great deal of them were things that had to do with his identity as a child of the Ye Family. After a few days, he could finally start to gear up for the destiny that righteously belonged to him.

“Brother, I’m done bathing sister Tong Xin!”

Not knowing how much time had passed, Ning Xue’s voice sounded from inside the room. She used the method of bathing that Ye Wuchen had used on her, gently caressing and stroking the body over and over. She was rejoicing with gurgling laughter, like she was fondling a very cute porcelain doll.

Ye Wuchen pushed the door open and entered to find Tong Xin in her black dress; he heaved a sigh of relief. Although Tong Xin’s was certainly more than twenty years old, if his guess was true, her age would have exceeded a hundred years. Physically she looked like she was just a little over ten years old and if he really could not control himself and ruined this young lady… he wouldl not be able to carry that sinful feeling with him.
