“But you also didn’t say that you will not marry me. If… if you don’t want to do it now, I can wait, seven… ten days. I can wait though.” Zhuge Xiaoyu said acting coquettishly. Her childish voice caused goosebumps to form all over Ye Wuchen’s body.
Ye Wuchen sighed helplessly… The thickness of this silly girl’s face was beyond the norm. Apparently, he needed to use tricky moves now.
“Xiaoyu, how old are you now?” Ye Wuchen asked.
“I am 17 this year, the same as you.” said Zhuge Xiaoyu as she blinked.
“17 years old? I don’t believe you.” Ye Wuchen shook his head.
“I’m really 17 years old, if you don’t believe me, you can ask my daddy.”
“Are you really 17? It is reasonable to say that for young woman of 17, they are likely to be fully maturre… En, not only very mature, the shape should be very well too. I wonder what it must feel like if touched by hands?” Ye Wuchen mumbled to himself. His arm which had been wrapped around in her bosom started to rub against the soft protruding lump on her chest and seemed to be appreciating its shape and sensation.
Zhuge Xiaoyu got startled for a moment, then with shout, as if she were hit with an electric shock she jumped aside, both arms subconsciously covering the front of her chest. The shyness she pretended to have with great difficulty quickly vanished, and her charming face was reddish like blood. “You-you-you are taking advantage of me, humph!”
She stamped her feet and departed running.
When she was past the main gate of the Ye residence, Ye Wuchen seemed pleased with himself as he laughed. No matter how she pretended not to mind, that slight trembling generated by extreme nervousness was surely not fake. Judging by that, she was sure to be just some spoiled little brat who had never get close to a man before… She probably only dared to go as far as to hang around with a man.
He lifted his head to see that the sun had already set and the sky was beginning to be covered by the darkness. Behind the clouds as light as soft mists, reflected a faint shadow of the moon… A full moon.
On the night of the full moon a month ago, he had narrowly escaped death. This time, can his two layers of spells be able to resist the slight agitation of those ten layers of terrible air that were like some wild ferocious beast?
The sky gradually darkened. Ye Wuchen did not go anywhere else, and just sat there looking at Ning Xue and Tong Xin as they played. His face had a smile, but his heartbeats were getting faster and faster. His heart had a layer of depressing shadow… He obviously knew that this was a sign that bad luck was coming. At the same time a month ago, he had the same feeling.
The darkness had arrived while the clouds cleared out as the moon appeared. The moonlight was especially bright tonight, unable to be driven out by the darkness. The full moon shone so bright that it lit the whole earth.
In an instant, Ye Wuchen felt like he was having his heart pierced by a thousand arrows as inside his body, the ten layers of energy woke up simultaneously. Their agitation was as if it was going to rip apart his limbs and internal organs, the tremendous pain drowned out his thoughts.
Ye Wuchen’s face turned pale, cold sweat dripped down from his forehead, but he stubbornly did not make a sound. Rather, during the pain, he was doing his utmost to press on his consciousness to guide all of his powers to protect his body, restoring his internal organs which were starting to suffer damages.
The pain this time was more bearable than the previous time. At least he did not collapse after a few attempts to painfully resist it, but this degree of pain was still beyond imagination of ordinary people. Ning Xue and Tong Xin, who were occupied by their noisy amusement, did not seem to notice any peculiarity while he was making supreme efforts to endure the pain.
This kind of pain was quite familiar… This familiarity was not due to his one prior experience. He firmly believed that this was something more cruel and painful and that he had surely experienced this numerous times before. He does not only ponder in silence about who he really was, why was he here, what his previous experiences were.
All of his powers were gathered to protect his body. The pain persisted for more than ten seconds then those ten layers of agitated terrible energy suddenly went completely still without any indication. Ye Wuchen’s power quickly rushed forth to restore his slightly damaged organs. The pain had also started to decrease, until it completely vanished.
“What’s going on?” Ye Wuchen was frightened as he covered his chest. For the period of more than ten seconds, the clothes on that spot were wet because of the cold sweat.
“My child… Can you hear my voice…”
From deep within his mind, a very soft voice echoed, hard to be heard clearly, it woke Ye Wuchen who was deep in contemplation.
“Who are you?” He concentrated his mind, both eyes closed. Using his own thoughts to respond, he could feel that the source of the voice was actually the energy that had been agitated and had gone dormant few moments ago. The other side did not know where it was located, but spoke to him by means of this energy despite being separated by the distance.
A moment of silence from the other side passed before it laughed gratifyingly, “Hehehehe, looks like I have succeeded. I have wasted ten whole years to find your location, then woke you up. Now, by means of the energy that remained inside your body, I have finally found you.”
Ye Wuchen felt like he was like being struck by the thunder as his whole body trembled violently.
“Wake up… You have been asleep for so long… Wake up now…”
Within his mind was the first voice that he had heard in this world. That voice was the one which had woken him up from his ten years of sleep. The voice had lingered in his mind over and over again. The owner of this voice might know of his past and the reason why he existed here.
“So you are the one who had woken me up before? Who are you? The energy inside my body… are you the one who left it here?”
Ye Wuchen, who was always calm, had asked these three questions in succession. His heart was obviously confused.
“That was indeed the energy that I left it inside your body. At first, it was meant to protect you, yet now it has the unexpected tendency to snatch away your life at any time.”
“The space is so wide, the world is not the only one, primal chaos is not the only one. At that time, I had exhausted all my powers just to find you and wake you up. My powers have since then recovered but within these three years, I can only make a connection with you during full moons. The night of the full moon is the most active time for the air of primal chaos and also the time when you and I are the strongest. The upheaval of the energy inside your body is because of this reason.”
“What are you talking about? I don’t completely understand… Tell me first, who are you?” Ye Wuchen said with knitted brows.
“Apparently, you have lost your memory of the past. She was indeed right… That time, you were just seven years old, so the primal chaos hasn’t fully formed, yet it triggered the primal chaos spell that could only be unleashed by the body of one with primal chaos. Its devouring energy caused you to lose all your memories, then you sank into a dormant state. Although you remembered the complete details of some things, you forgot your own life.”
“!!”
“My time is very limited. To speed up the recovery of my powers, I will not contact you anymore. You must remember, our energy all originated from primal chaos, so as long as the power is sufficient, you are able to fit in, break down, restore, and destroy everything. If your power becomes stronger, it will connect closely with the energy I left inside your body. I can only help you this one time, and I cannot help your forever… What you should do to help yourself is to quickly get stronger. The day your powers reached the seventh level, you will find everything…”
Ye Wuchen did not forget the special property of this odd energy that he possessed. When he used his blood to confirm his relationship with the Ye Family, he had relied on the harmonization of his powers. The blood which was infused with the his powers was able to merge with any other kind of blood.
The voice started to become weaker and softer, as if it would disappear at any time. Ye Wuchen said urgently, “You haven’t told me who you are yet? Why am I here?”
“……”
The strange feeling had completely disappeared. Ye Wuchen heaved a long sigh of relief and opened his eyes wide . That person was already gone.
His voice was amiable, calm, and very young. The owner of that voice must be several years older than him. His every word had been able to stir up the heartstrings that were in the deepest part of his heart. That kind of feeling was so subtle and so warm. Ye Wuchen would firmly remember every statement that person said in his heart. Sitting there on the spot, he calmly thought over the words.
Body of primal chaos… Air of primal chaos… Spell of primal chaos…
That person was the owner of the terrible energy inside his body… Just as Nan-er had mentioned, it was actually strength more powerful than the Southern and Northern Empires.
His own powers were similar to it. Coming from the primal chaos, could it be…
He stood up, a hand reaching for Ning Xue, he smiled and said, “Come, let’s take a bath. Today we will sleep early.”
Arriving at Heavenly Star Continent, after all this time, he had finally received some information concerning his past. The statements from that person had clearly told him that this fuzzy feeling was not anything malicious… The moment his powers reached its highest point would be the time that he would remember his past.
For the whole night, he could not sleep. He used the entire night time structuring numerous types of possibilities.
The next day when the sky was still dark, he arrived at the imperial palace, making a request to Long Yin. Since Long Yin had said that he may request whatever he needed, how could he let this chance slip by?
“I need a sword, Your Majesty. Can you allow me to choose one from your treasure storehouse?”
The treasure storehouse was one of the most important places in the Tian Long Imperial Palace. Inside, it contained so many priceless and rare treasures; there was no lack of amazing weapons that any ordinary person dreamt of.
Long Yin slightly knitted his brows and agreed with a nod, “Okay, I will make an exception and let you enter this treasure storehouse just once. You may choose any weapon you like, but you should remember that the treasure storehouse is where all the rare treasures that my Tian Long royal family has collected for years. You can only choose one, and also only choose once. I have already made a great exception to allow you to enter, but I will not let you enter the second time.”
“Wuchen understands. Thank you, Your Majesty.”
“Elder Li, bring him there.”
An aged figure appeared in front Ye Wuchen like mist. Hanging his head down, he said, “Come with me.”
The existence of this treasure storehouse was not a secret. Ye Wuchen had heard it from Ye Wei, but its level of security was so tight that it caused people’s hair to stand on end. With the old man walking ahead, who used different complicated techniques to open the six doors and several mechanisms, they finally arrived inside the legendary treasure storehouse.
