Chapter 714: 13.15 – Missed Star – World Hopper

On his way back, Mo Feng was talking to his system once he separated from his team. His calm and jolly impression turned serious and cold.

“System, did the world plot change? If it is not the Protagonist Shou who was engaged with the Protagonist Gong then who was it?” asked Feng Mo to his system.

[Host, it seems that the foreign soul’s role was diverted because he fell in love at first sight with Ye Qiu from his Team Autumn Dragon.]

Feng Mo asked, “Ye Qiu? Who is this person?”

[Ye Qiu is just a fake identity used by this person. This is the identity used by the Main Villain Ye Qiuji to bully the Protagonist Shou, but System doesn’t know why the foreign soul fell in love with the Main Villain instead of his destined one.]

“The Main Villain? Can you check if this Main Villain is an outsider like me?”

[That is impossible. Only the Host must check it on their own. Because like the Host once an outsider enters a body, everything about that body will be converted to merge with your own soul and the Heavenly Laws will accept your existence as that character like it was your own. Which makes it impossible for this system to check if a character was possessed by an outsider soul like the host. Moreover, upon checking this world database, it seems that Ye Qiuji didn’t only bully the Protagonist Shou because of his little brother but also because he is secretly in love with the Protagonist Gong. If the foreign soul used the Protagonist Gong’s soul to show he likes the Villain, then it’s understandable that the Villain will fall in love with the Gong as well.]

.....

Feng Mo said. “No wonder the Villain hates the Protagonist Shou so much. It is because he felt that his beloved was stolen. Doesn’t this mean that if I want to eliminate the current protagonist gong, the villain will also become my enemy? So that’s the reason for those abundant rewards. I need to eliminate two main castings for the world. The Protagonist and the Antagonist. This is harder than I thought.”

Feng Mo continued to talk to his system without knowing that the moment he arrived at the company Ye Qiuji already knew about his identity as an outsider. Once Ye Qiuji learned from his System, Yue, about this outsider’s task of wanting to eliminate his lover, he hands long decided to destroy this person of his everything. Yue immediately informed his host about this Feng Mo.

[Host, what should we do about this outsider?]

Ye Qiuji responded, ‘Yue, I wish to redeem a Soul Protecting Artifacts from the Mall. A bounded one for me and my husband. Make it in a tattoo form. I want the one I can customize.’

[I’ve found one Host. It’s a Soul Marriage Imprint Defensive Artifact: Soul Motif [Divine Couple Artifact]. You can customize the design in your head and only have to kiss a part of your husband’s body to leave the imprint but the cost to redeem this artifact is a bit expensive. It needed 6 redeeming tickets to avail. Accepting to redeem this item means that the Host won’t be able to redeem any items in the next world. Does the Host still wish to exchange this Divine Artifact?]

Even thinking twice, Ye Qiuji accepted this condition. It is better to redeem a Holy Artifact that could protect his husband’s soul than redeem useless items he didn’t need much.

‘Yue, is this artifact usable by a fragmented soul?’

[Yes! This Artifact will be bound to the original whole soul which is why all fragmented souls of the original soul will be able to use this Artifact.]

‘I want to redeem this item. At the same time, I want you to add within this world database about this Soul Artifact being owned and bound to me. So, it will be easier for me to fool this world’s people of this artifact’s existence. Yue.’

[Soul Motif [Divine Couple Artifact] redeemed. Host will now be unable to redeem any more Items from the System Mall for this world and the next world. Thank you for your help. As for the Host request, it has been approved. Soul Motif existence was made known as your Soul Artifact.]

Upon receiving the Divine Artifact in his mind after deciding on the design of the artifact he looked at his husband who was hugging him from behind. Once he faced Long Xie, a small smile sprouted from the corner of his thin lips looking at him tenderly as always.

Kissing his forehead, “Is something wrong, love?” asked Long Xie.

Ye Qiuji rotated his body and faced his husband. With his arms wrapped around Long Xie’s neck and his husband’s arms around his waist, Qiuji sat peacefully on his husband’s lap.

“A’Xie, I forgot to give you my engagement token. I will give it to you now, okay? Please close your eyes.” said Ye Qiuji with a sweet smile on his cerise lips.

After asking questions Long Xie closed his eyes as his wife wanted. After waiting for a few seconds he felt something soft as marshmallows land at the corner of his right eye. He felt slight itchiness and pain under his right eye. Twitching his right eyelid instinctively, Long Xie waited for the soft lips on his eyes to leave. Once Ye Qiuji’s lips are left, one can see a simple teardrop motif under the right eye of Long Xie and it has a silver color that matches the moonlight. Once Long Xie opened his eyes, he could see the same motif under Qiuji’s left eye. An identical silvery sole teardrop silhouette.

Seeing the result of his work, Qiuji gently caresses the silver motif under his husband’s eyes. Long Xie also notices the ones under his wife’s left eye. “Hm, not bad.” Whispered Ye Qiuji.

Long Xie caressed the same teardrop under his wife’s eyes. “What is this?” he asked.

“It’s my Soul Defensive Artifact. Soul Motif bounded within my soul and now, I share its uses with you. With this even in our next life, you will be able to find me, and I’ll be able to find you as well.” replied Qiuji as he pecks his husband’s lips while behind Qiuji, Long Xie heard Tang Ruan exclaim in astonishment.

“A-Autumn... t-that!? Isn’t that your soul-bound defensive Artifact!?” yelled Tang Ruan.

Ye Qiuji nonchalantly replied. “The Soul Motif. Yes. I shared it with A’Xie.”

This time not only Tang Ruan showed his shock. Even Long Xie and He Yuu were rendered speechless. They knew that General Autumn had a Soul Defensive Artifact. It is because of this that General Autumn’s existence is almost equal to a God because with this artifact his soul cannot be harmed no matter what. Adding up his unique 3S Physique, he is almost immortal. Now Ye Qiuji shared this Artifact bound within his soul with Long Xie. Sharing this Soul Artifact means that in this world, the only person that will be able to destroy his soul will only be Long Xie who shared the same artifact bound within their souls. When one of them dies, the other will soon follow. Soul Motif. This is a Soul Divine Artifact that can be shared with only one person and Qiuji chose Long Xie as that only special person.

“God! Your Highness, are you for real!?” asked He Yuu, shocked.

Ye Qiuji smiled, “Of course!”

Tang Ruan, “...”

“No worries~ isn’t it easier to point out who will be the culprit if I happened to die?” said Ye Qiuji with a mischievous smile on his face.

WHOA~

Suddenly he felt his body leaving the ground, his husband carried him in his arms leaving him bewildered while he got pulled inside their bedroom. Leaving the other couple in the living room alone. Inside their bedroom, Ye Qiuji felt himself being pressed on the bed by his husband more like he was being hugged while under him but Long Xie’s current state isn’t normal as Ye Xiajie took over the control of the body. Ye Qiuji noticed the changes instantly.

Ye Qiuji smiles as he pats his husband’s head, “Hm~ you came out, A’Xia.”

“Jing’er... if you can retract the soul artifact please do so.” Said Ye Xiajie.

Confused, Ye Qiuji asked, “Why?”

“...I’m afraid... extremely afraid that I might harm you...” replied Ye Xiajie.

“Why would you hurt me?” asked Ye Qiuji.

Ye Qiuji said, “We’re only a fragment soul. The dormant original soul is renowned as someone cold-hearted and cruel. I’m afraid that once all fragments return as a whole, he will harm Jing’er.”

“Don’t worry. You won’t... I believe that he won’t after all both of you were originally one. There is no way he will be able to harm me. After all, he is you, A’Xia.” Ye Qiuji said as he noticed his husband looking at him.

His formerly crimson eyes as Long Xie turned completely dark with endless galaxies and stars within. This is the fascinating sight Hei Anjing loves about his husband.

“Moreover, with that artifact, you should be able to come out freely anytime you want, though you still need to disguise your eyes to avoid others.”

“This is a Divine Tier Soul Artifact. There is no way you can get this without anything in exchange. Jing’er what did your system exchange it with?” asked Ye Xiajie even forgetting the fact that he had a slip of the tongue as he seems to know the existence of his system though Ye Qiuji decided to turn a deaf ear about it.

Ye Qiuji answered. “Every time I enter the world, I am allowed to redeem 3 items in the system mall. To redeem a Divine object, I’ve exchanged 6 redeeming tickets. In the next world, I won’t be able to redeem anything from the mall. That’s all.”

After hearing the explanation from his wife, Ye Xiajie knew that his state in the next world will be dangerous. Not only were the worlds getting higher and more dangerous, but losing the opportunity for the system mall which allows his wife to redeem anything from weapons to pills in case of emergency is like losing his external help. Ye Xiajie’s expression couldn’t help but turn dark upon realizing that.

Ye Xiajie said, “I will try to wake up earlier in the next world. So, I’ll be able to protect you ahead of time.” As he moves to kiss his lover.

It was dusk when all the players were gathered for their new schedule before the Second Elimination Match. The twin towers cast long shadows beneath the setting sun. In the open area where players usually walked and chatted, there was staff directing robots to mark the ground with chalk.

“Oh, this is your position for the shooting of the music video. Aside from Little Autumn and Dragon God (Xie Long’s player name) pair as well as Little Ruru and Prince (He Yuu’s player name) who will do a couple of segments. The rest will have to dance as a group.” Lady Examiner Xiang said with a huge smile on her face.

The players were wearing bitter smiles on their faces once they heard about that. They had never expected to be asked to dance on stage though they’d expected advertisement. As for what the Team Autumn Dragon is doing, a couple of segments aren’t surprising as their fan base longed to recognize these two couples and their advertisement jobs were even heavier than theirs.

Lou Ye reacted upon seeing their schedule. “What kind of schedule is this? 30 hours of basic firearms training. 2 hours of divination?”

On the other hand, his other teammates were looking at the sponsor banner looking for clues about the next field content. Their sponsor had already been posted on the bulletin board and there was also a clue here for the second elimination match.

‘Finding you, sheltering you, and crowning you is all part of your distant past, your recent past, and your future. It is also your sincerity, your bonds, your hopes, and your fears... it’s the unveiling of your destiny. -Star-reading Tower.’

Lin Lan asked, “What crowning? What unveiled destiny? Little Wu, did you figure it out yet?”

Ye Wusheng honestly answered, “No Idea.”

“I think this must have something to do with foretelling, A’Wu?” said Tu Zise.

“Foretelling? You mean something like star reading?” said Mo Feng.

Lin Lan said, “Foretelling and Star Gazing is not a bad idea.”

Suddenly just beside them, they heard a playful voice adding himself to their conversation. It was Ye Qiuji.

“Not a bad idea but that is only a part of it,” said Ye Qiuji.

Team Silent Night greeted him once they noticed it was their senior.

“Greetings to Senior Autumn.”
