Chapter 749: 14.25 Last Violet Star – A monster in human skin.

As soon as Hei Anjing appeared the children immediately recognized him. Even though his face was covered in a veil, those who can see his eyes can never deny his gorgeousness.

Though the wooden watering pot in his hand looks out of place, Yun Anjie and the rest of the disciples would never mistake Hei Anjing for other people. After all, he possesses a very rare demeanor of indifference and a dangerous aura at the same time elegance and grace.

“Disciples of Lan Zhuayun Sect greets Senior Hei!” collectively said the disciples of the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect.

Hei Anjing moves his eyes and glances at them. He took his usual seat as he observed the closed ice lotus flower on his miniature pond before moving his eyes back to the group of children not far from him. His silver irises were calm and detached yet there is a slight gentleness when looking at these children. Even though his face shows no expression, this reaction alone shows he likes children quite a lot. He didn’t choose to ignore them like the other people whom he met.

“It’s you guys. So your senior arrived on time to save you?” said Hei Anjing.

Yun Anjie cupped his hands and said, “Yes. Thanks to the barrier Senior Hei had left to keep us protected, Chun Hongyun-Jun successfully saved us and the town. We thanked the Senior for the help.”

“Hm. No worries. I was just bored and happened to pass by. So the child has officially joined you?” asked Hei Anjing as he looked at Du Sang for a few seconds before returning his eyes to the book with the title of Introduction for Elementary Level Spiritual Planting.

Du Sang who was mentioned stepped forward and cupped his hands before Hei Anjing. Before answering his informal question.

“Answering Senior Hei’s question, this disciple had officially become a disciple in name of the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect. Thanking Senior for saving us in that town.”

“Is that so? But it wasn’t me who saved you though, your mother, she was the one who jumped in to take your place and took over the bad karma you had accumulated in that house. Do not waste her efforts and live your life in happiness like what your mother wanted you to have,” said Hei Anjing.

Du Sang couldn’t control his tears as he recalled his mother’s sacrifice and last goodbye. He knew that his mother had paid too much just to give him a second chance in this life.

“Yes. This disciple would keep Senior Hei’s word into heart,” said Du Sang as Yun Fan helped him wipe his tears as he rejoined the group.

Hei Anjing didn’t want to recognize the presence of the other two people not included in the group led by Yun Anjie. But the blue robes and waves pattern on Bai Qiyin’s clothes caught his attention.

‘This is the robe in that memory. Is this man connected to that Sect from my past life.’

After observing the blur robe and exquisite waves design on Bai Qiyin’s clothes, Hei Anjing decided to meet the eyes of the owner of the robe. What he didn’t expect was for that young man with sharp features and cold contours to suddenly look at him with sapphire irises covered in tears. At this moment, Bai Qiyin doesn’t look like the cold Prince of the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect.

Instead, he looks like a bullied young man yearning for his elder brother’s kindness and smile. There’s a nostalgia within those deep blue eyes staring at Hei Anjing intently as if he would disappear before his sight as he blink even once.

Bewildered, Hei Anjing asked the crying young man in blue robes. His face remains devoid of emotions but his tone was a bit tinted with slight worry that even he himself didn’t notice.

“Hm? Why are you crying? Are you hurting somewhere? Come, let me check if I can heal you of your injuries,” said Hei Anjing as he placed the wooden watering pot and book on the stone table not far from him. He then stares at Bai Qiyin.

Bai Qiyin on the other hand had mixed a scene of the past with the present. In his line of sight, he can see his Senior Brother, Bai Wuan smiling at him teasingly while looking worried at him but obviously the one in front of him had no expression on his face at all. He could no longer hold back his tears and yearning as he ran towards Hei Anjing and kneeled before him as he hugged his waist.

He had always hugged his elder brother like this when they were children. In front of his Senior Brother, Bai Qiyin was never the Prince of Ice everyone from the cultivation circle knows. He is just a spoiled younger brother that his Senior brother pampers.

(QAQ)(QAQ)(QAQ)

“Wuwu~ Gege~… It’s really you. You come back. Yun Jieye wasn’t lying at all. You’ve really resurrected from the dead. Waa~” said Bai Qiyin while still hugging Hei Anjing.

Meanwhile, Hei Anjing himself and the young disciples who came with Sect Master Bai were all dumbfounded. They’ve never expected this side of Sect Master Bai. Because to them, Bai Qiyin is a prince whose attitude and demeanor were even colder than the glaciers of the snowy mountain peaks. Prickly personality, grumpy and cold-hearted. Seeing this new side of Sect Master Bai rendered them speechless in shock.

“Ah! You mortal! What are you doing to my lord!? Let go! Let go this instant!” said Zhi Yue.

At this moment, Zhi Yue who was preparing his lord’s snacks and tea was startled by the scene of his master being hugged by someone other than the Lord God. He started pulling Bai Qiyin away only for the latter to tighten his hug around his brother’s waist.

Bai Qiyin responded, “No! This is my brother. My Shixiong! I won’t let go!!!”

“You!! Don’t hug the lord like that!? Are you a child!?” complained Zhi Yue.

Hei Anjing could feel his head throbbing at this scene but as always his face shows no expression. It wasn’t that he didn’t have any emotions but the curse of his bloodline sealed off all of his emotions and his face became rigid as if he was emotionless.

But for some reason at this moment, his expressionless face made some changes. It wasn’t a change that was big enough for others to notice right away. But for Zhi Yue who had been by his side all the time or for Bai Qiyin who noticed some similarities from his memories, even that small crease between his eyebrows is very obvious in their eyes.

Eyes marred with worry and helpless doting, this had always been Bai Wuan’s reaction to Bai Qiyin’s crying.

Hei Anjing slightly raised his hand in Zhi Yue’s direction gesturing for him to stop pulling Bai Qiyin away from him. The latter understood immediately and bowed his head in acceptance. Meanwhile, he softly pats Bai Qiyin’s back as if soothing him from his crying.

“Don’t cry. Aren’t you supposed to be an adult? There are still children younger than you here. Also, you must have made a mistake, I am not your Senior Brother and this is our first meeting. My courtesy name is Hei Wuan. My birth name is…”

“Anjing… Your real name is Hei Anjing. I know… Gege, I already know your name. You’ve already told me a long time ago. But… Do you remember my name?” asked Bai Qiyin as he raised his head to look at his Senior Brother who had been supposed to be dead more than ten years ago.

But when he hugged him, he heard his heartbeat, he felt his warmth yet slightly cold skin as well as the familiar scent of sweetness mixed with flowery and minty snow scent. He would never forget this fragrance. This is his brother’s scent from his childhood.

Hei Anjing thinks for a bit. He had seen quite a number of memories of his past life in this world. Though it felt unreal at first, the Senior Brother in that memory is indeed him. He recalled a short and vague memory of him called a weird nickname.

“Xiao Piqi Baozao? (Little Grumpy)” calls Hei Anjing with an unsure tone.

(O*O)(O^O)(O*O)

But Bai Qiyin upon hearing that couldn’t help but pout like the young boy in Hei Anjing’s memory.

“Who are you calling little grumpy!? You are a little grumpy! Your whole family is a little grumpy!” retorted Bai Qiyin.

Zhi Yue let out a chuckle upon hearing Sect Master Bai’s complaint.

Hei Anjing commented, “If I am indeed your Shixiong doesn’t that mean we are family? Calling me grumpy means you agree that you are one yourself.”

Pfft!

Bai Qiyin glared at Zhi Yue and said, “Don’t laugh!”

Cough!

Zhi Yue, pretending he didn’t hear the complaints, resumes his original duty of serving tea to his Lord.

“Lord Hei, I have prepared a cafe au lait for today’s drink and some ham and cheese scones for your afternoon snacks,” said Zhi Yue.

Hei Anjing said, “Un. Prepare some for the rest of the guests as well. While you’re at it, clean up the bug. It’s affecting my mood.”

The last sentence was spoken with a cold tone as his lord glanced coldly at the lone disciple in a dark green robe. Hei Anjing stares at it like he is looking at some kind of bug, completely disinterested yet a bit annoyed. Though none of this emotion affected in black face.

Zhi Yue responded calmly as he already noticed that one of the young disciples was never human in the first place. He is just a monster wearing human skin over his disgusting self.

Bai Qiyin and the disciples of the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect were stunned. But as a senior cultivator, Bai Qiyin reacted fast and swiftly appeared the children pushing them nearer to where Hei Anjing is seated. It was a habit to stand near his Shixiong when facing unknown enemies.

Sect Master Bai asked, “Gege, is he a monster in human skin?”

Hei Anjing was a bit speechless hearing how flawless Bai Qiyin called him Brother but for some reason, he doesn’t dislike it or made him feel uncomfortable. It was more natural to his ears than hearing Lu Er act like a small sly fox before him.

Hei Anjing responded, “It’s an Abyssal Inferno spider. It lives in the crevice of the Inferno cliffs. Its strength ranges from the 9th Foundation Establishment Stage to Early Golden Core Stage. Its favorite food is human flesh and blood, especially those who practice cultivation.” He slowly sips his drink utterly disdainful of the bug in his line of sight.

Upon hearing Senior Hei’s explanation Yun Anjie and the rest of the young disciples felt terrified while looking at the monster wearing Senior Brother Lu Ke’s appearance. Even them heard about the Infernal Realm or the so-called Land of Death, which is the territory of the Devil Race. There are some frightening monsters that live in that place as well. The Abyssal Inferno Spider. It is one of the most dangerous creatures in the land of death. It is infamous for its intelligence, morphing ability, and ability to speak human language.

Seeing the terrified reactions from the prey, Senior Brother Lu Ke, or the Abyssal Inferno Spider under that human skin clapped his hands as a human does.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

The Abyssal Inferno Spider spoke, “Amazing~ this is the first time I’ve met a human who is able to see through the disguise of my race.”

While Lu Ke was speaking, the human skin all over his body started to tremble, then it started to tear. A strong scent of blood spread in the area as a huge black spider with multiple legs and orange eyes appeared after the skin of Senior Brother Lu Ke was torn to pieces.

“I haven’t seen your full face yet but I know that you are an extremely beautiful man despite being a mortal. Don’t worry~ after eating your insides I will definitely keep your skin fresh and use it as my own. Hehehe~” said the Abyssal Inferno Spider who suddenly appeared before them.Please visit FreeAllNovelFull.com

Zhi Yue mumbled, “This bug is dreaming ba~”

His size was at least as large as a single-floor house. The hairy legs of the spider were so hideous to look at, especially the sharp teeth and drools made of acid falling down from its mouth.

The Abyssal Inferno Spider said, “As for the rest, they can become my dinner and reserve rations! Hehehe~”
