Chapter 282 - 8.9 First Blue Star - Mania
With their boat suddenly upturned by the huge waves caused by something huge falling directly into the river, all three of them had fallen into the water as well. Bai Yuyan and Feng Wu reacted immediately and saved the almost drowning Feng Jing and pulled him out of the water.
Once they've reached the river edge, the three of them are all soaking wet and Feng Jing is coughing badly as he almost drowned.
Cough! Cough. Cough.
"My lord, are you alright?" asked Feng Wu worriedly.
Bai Yuyan couldn't hold back a curse and showed his real personality, "Fuck! What the hell just fell? Are you alright, Jing?" he was patting Feng Jing's back to help him cough out the water he accidentally drank.
In his mind, he is asking his quantum beast what happened.
'Stella! What happened!? Something falls from the outer space!?'
Stella: [Master it's a broken mecha. Some pursuers are trying to kill the operator of that mecha. Master should run back to Feng Mansion and ask for help. The pursuers are professional assassins of this world. They would definitely kill you guys as well!]
Yue: [Host. This place is dangerous! There are incoming intruders. If you are going to play as a weak person you should run back to the mansion and call for help.]
Feng Jing responded in his mind, "I know. Let's wait for a bit."
After stopping his coughing tiff Feng Wu helped Feng Jing to stand up and dry their clothes with his fire fox's foxfire. In just a few minutes their clothes had totally dried up the same as before. Then they've started staring at the broken black mecha in the middle of the lake.
The lake's depth isn't that deep and only half of the mecha was hidden under the water. Few broken parts of the mech fell piece by piece at the lake creating ripples at the surface of the water.
Bai Yuyan murmured, "This pure black mecha seems familiar... Just where have I seen this before?"
"You've seen it before? Where?" asked Feng Wu.
"I'm trying to recall where I've seen this before... Hm~"
While Bai Yuyan and Feng Wu were having a conversation about the sudden appearance of that black mecha, Feng Jing was at the edge of the river, staring at his own reflection.
[Host something is coming up from the water! Be careful!]
As soon as System Yue completed his words, a human figure jumped out of the water. This man's figure is trained to perfection. He wasn't completely muscular but his muscles were in perfect shape. His physique is full of vigor and can be equated to the body of greek gods.
His obsidian hair glows under the shade of moonlight, features were sharp and captivating but unfortunately his eyes were reddened and full of madness as if he had gone crazy. The moment this person jumps out of the water his leering eyes focus on Feng Jing alone.
Jumping at the terrified young man, this person tries to capture Feng Jing.
Feng Jing, "A-Ahh.... AHHH! Save me." he screamed.
Bai Yuyan and Feng Wu notice that the madman is trying to target Feng Jing who looks the weakest among them. They've both summoned their quantum beast respectively. A firefox and black leopard materialized in thin air trying to move the man who was about to attack Feng Jing.
Feng Wu, "Xiao Hu, Go!"
"Stella, kick that man off, Jing!"
They commanded both at the same time. But before they could even reach that madman, he suddenly moves his crimson eyes on them giving them a fierce gaze. At the same time, a huge black dragon whose eyes are full of madness like its master had. It slapped away the two quantum beasts effortlessly.
"A black dragon!?" exclaimed both Bai Yuyan and Feng Wu.
The backlash of their quantum beasts being forced to dematerialize made Bai Yuyan and Feng Wu puke blood. The difference in strength is too much that even being one of the protagonists of the world, Bai Yuyan is helpless towards this monstrous person.
Before he blacks out, Bai Yuyan finally recognizes who the madman is.
"Pitch black hair and... eyes like obsidian gems. I see... It's Marshal... Altair Sirius. So this is... His mania..." murmured Bai Yuyan as he fainted.
Meanwhile, Feng Wu who was suffering the same backlash as Bai Yuyan used his remaining consciousness to light a flare. This will signify an emergency situation on their side. Since they are just in the backyard of the Feng Mansion, the other family members would definitely see it.
BOOM! In the sky, a phoenix crest fireworks appeared.
Feng Wu muttered, "L-Lord... Hei..." then he fainted.
On the other hand at the riverside, the moment Feng Jing noticed that Bai Yuyan had fainted, his innocent facade had faded completely. There is only coldness and indifference imprinted on his face. He was staring back at this crazy man who lost his mind due to mania.
Feng Jing, "This is mania ha~ isn't it close to the so-called inner demons in the cultivation world."
[Host this person is Altair Sirius. He is the youngest Marshal in the Federation. Boss of the Fallen Gods Unit and the owner of the Dragon King as a quantum beast.]
"The short-lived guy in the plot. So, is he my husband or not?" asked Feng Jing.
[This... Since the Lord God's soul had been asleep it is close to impossible for this system to recognize him. Like in the last world, Yue wasn't able to help the host look for the Lord God because his soul fragments had a weaker connection to him when he sleeps. Please check it yourself, host!]
"Tsk! Fine. I'll check it myself." said Feng Jing.
Marshal Altair in his mania would attack anyone he sees as he did with Bai Yuyan and Feng Wu but for some reason despite losing his reason seeing Feng Jing in front of him, Neither Sirius nor Cielo is willing to harm him. They were staring at Feng Jing with full madness in their eyes yet there is also gentleness from it. It was unknown what this madman truly was thinking about.
Feng Jing who was staring back at the mad Marshal narrowly squinted his eyes as he also noticed that movement from him.
"He didn't want to hurt me, is that it? But why would he think so?" murmured Feng Jing as he tried to back away from him.
When the marshal suffering from mania saw him leaving, he thought that the latter would immediately try to capture only to see the marshal and the dragon staring at him with red eyes yet tears strolling down on his face. He looks like an abandoned puppy.
[H-Host... Is he... the Lord God?]
System Yue thought that the Marshal's attachment and reaction towards his host is a bit too similar to his Lord God.
At this time even Feng Jing had a frown on his face, he couldn't be intimate with a man he was not sure that the latter possessed his husband's soul.
Feng Jing asked, "Yue, how to cure his mania?"
[About this the least intimate touch the host could do is bump your forehead to each other and spread your spirit qi in his consciousness to purify the taint. But it's still sharing qi so it's like...]
"Dual Cultivation." Feng Jing completed his system words while gritting his teeth. "Fuck! Why is there no scent!? I am not even sure if this bastard is my husband and to cure him I need to share my spirit qi. I only do that with A'Xia! What's with this perverted world!?" shrieked Feng Jing as he was truly reluctant in being intimate with a man different from his husband. He feels extremely disgusted.
While hesitating, the madness of Marshal Sirius qi is about to explode. He already started inflicting self harm on himself and started biting his own. Seeing this Feng Jing stopped hesitating.
"Dammit! If you happen to become not my husband I will kill you with my own hands!" screamed Feng Jing in annoyance as he approached the maniac, Marshal Sirius.
As expected, the Marshal tried to step away from Feng Jing who was getting closer to him as if afraid to harm him. Feng Jing could already see the huge dragon floating behind the marshal biting its own tail and looking like an ouroboros in the myth.
Feng Jing shouted, "Yue what to do with the huge worm?"
[H-Host it's not a worm~]
"Whatever to me dragons are worms. Phoenixes are chickens, tigers are kittens."
[Master needs to summon your egg and as you heal the marshal. Your egg would do the same to the dragon.]
"If this worm breaks my egg I'm going to grill it!" said Feng Jing and with a wave of his hand a huge egg of the same size as the black dragon appeared. Followed by it is the strong scent of Feng Jing's pheromones.
The seductive scent of sweetness and peppermint scatters in the area.
As soon as his pheromones had spread in the area, the black dragon and the marshal started acting like hungry beasts. One pounced on the egg and encircled the egg with its bloody body while the marshal pulled Feng Jing in a tight hug while sniffing on his scent.
With the marshal leaning on the tree, Feng Jing is seated on his lap facing him. Then as if welcoming him, the scent of Marshal Sirius as Sentinel had finally appeared. Feng Jing was startled at first but with this fragrance, all his hesitation and disgust had faded.
The familiar aroma that calmed down Feng Jing is the scent of rust and iron mixed with a deep, woody scent and floral, rich, balsamic, soft, and sweet accents.
Feng Jing, "Tsk! So it was really you... Making me worry for nothing! Hmp!" he murmured as all his worries flew off.
He hugged the marshal back which startled the latter and hugged him even tighter. Feng Jing's legs were wrapped around Marshal Sirius' waist as their foreheads touched with almost no space in between them. Just one inch more and their lips would touch but right now both their eyes were close focusing on cleansing the madness in the Marshal's mind.
On the other hand, a few moments before this situation. In the mansion of Feng, the Phoenix Family were welcoming incoming special guests one at a time. At first, the family was looking for their missing youngest.
Navi Luna asked her eldest son, "Yang Darling have you seen your baby brother? He is not in his room."
"Just a while ago Bai Yuyan and Feng Wu grabbed some food in the kitchen. They said they are going to watch the moon at the river in the backyard," replied Feng Yang.
Navi Luna, "At the backyard, then leave them be but remember to send someone when it's time for dinner." she said.
Feng Ren, "Madam, This Ren will personally bring back the youngest master before dinner."
"Good."
All of a sudden Aide Feng Yae had come running towards her master with a huge smile on her face.
"Mistress! Mistress! The Crown Princess and Crown Prince had come to visit!" said Aide Yae.
Mrs. Feng and Feng Yang were delighted with this news.
"Where are they?" asked Mrs. Feng.
Aide Yae politely replied, "At the entrance but... there is another pair of special guests. I wish for the Mistress to come over with the Master."
Feng Yang frowned for a moment, "Who was it?"
"It's the Altair Family Leaders. General Altair and his wife," answered Aide Yae.
The answer stunned both Navi Luna and Feng Yang. Though the Altair family and the Phoenix family look close in public it is only due to the business the families have between each other.
Luna and Yang decided to call the seniors and the master of the house.
Navi Luna, "Yang, please escort our guests to the living room. I'm going to call for your father and grandfathers."
"I understand, Mom. Leave it to me," said Feng Yang as he nodded his head. He then looked at his aide, Feng Ren, and ordered him, "Ren, please bring back my younger brother. Tell him our sister and Brother Zenith came to visit."
Feng Ren bowed his head as he accepted his orders.
"As you order, Lord Yang!" Then he disappeared.
Navi Luna left to call her husband and parents. Feng Yang went to the entrance with the other aides and welcomed the guests.
This all happened before the mecha of Marshal Sirius had fallen on the territory of the Phoenix Family.
