Chapter 409 - 9.28 Second Blue Star - Who Are You?
Xue Hua only went to the school when he saw his husband's car had left for the road. As soon as the car had left some classmates of Xue Hua jumped on him with their faces full of grins. There's a hint of teasing within those glowing eyes. Especially the girls who love boys' love scenes like this one.
"Wow~ Our school's Male God suddenly disappeared for almost a week only to return it another Handsome man with him~"
"Xuexue you've kissed just now. You called him Fujun and he called you Qizi, is he your real husband for real?"
"Did you get married to him that's why you took an absence that long!?"
"Amazing~ One is beautiful while the other is handsome. A gentle beauty uke with his cold yet henpecked handsome husband!" Drools* Drools* Drools*
"When did you get married? What is his name? How did you meet?"
Being bombarded but countless questions about his relationship with his husband made his face crimson in embarrassment. He is still a young man who had experienced love for the first at least not based on his real yet hidden identity. Since he has no memories as Hei Anjing, this Xue Hua is no different from another person. Because of that he couldn't control his expression and would be showier with regards to his feelings than the real Hei Anjing.
With a sweet smile on his face, he listened to his classmate gossiping about his married life, he felt shy yet proud to be married to someone like Xie Mo.
Xue Hue whose cheeks were blushing like a red tomato said, "E-Enough. I will tell you in class. So...bye~" He ran off leaving a group of stunned students who didn't expect their usually cool and gentle Male God to leave them behind just to hide his shyness.
They couldn't hold back a laugh and run after Xue Hua.
"Xuexue, Wait for us you haven't told us a thing!"
"Capture him and make him confess everything!"
"Hey! Wait for me! I want some gossips too~"
In some hidden corner, Lou Lan glared at Xue Hua the moment he appeared in the school gates until he disappeared to run inside the school building. If a glare could kill no one knows how many times Zue Hua had died under Lou Lan's eyes. Somewhere within the shadows, an invisible being watches the scene between the Ghost King and his consort, he just stares as his crimson butterfly follows after the embarrassed Xue Hua.
His murmurs can either be heard or not and said, "This one is different from the one in my memories. He doesn't have that much of emotions on him except towards us. A fake or..." his words were suddenly cut off when he saw Xue Hua whose shy expression suddenly fades and looks back towards his directions.
Within those gold orbs were glints of silver that no one would notice unless one would stare at those eyes longer but the charm this young man possessed is beyond normal and no ordinary existence can stare at the depths of those eyes and see what was hidden in it.
Under the facade of that gentle appearance is an unknown danger that is carefully hidden within those golden orbs. What's more surprising is that Xue Hua would smile sweetly towards him out of nowhere and before he could reach the latter was long gone.
"Hm~ we should see each other soon~ hahaha~"
Only then does the hidden being finally take his leave. Xue Hua who had Hei Anjing's soul temporarily awakened stood in some desolated corner in the hallway after looking out of the school building's window stared down at his slightly trembling hands.
"Not yet. Not enough qi to keep me awake." Murmured Hei Anjing his eyes at the moment were silver once he blinked. The coldness around himself had disappeared, replaced with the innocence of a young man in his age.
Xue Hua blinked his eyes and looked around with a bit of confusion in his eyes, "How did I get here? Aren't I supposed to be on my way to class?"
Familiar voices of his classmates were heard from the hallway and Xue Hua poke his head in the corner he woke up and was spotted right away.
"There he is! Get him!"
"Xuexue it is unfair to keep it to yourself! Spill the beans, how did you meet such a hottie!"
"You and your husband have the best quality ba~ can you give me a couple of pics?"
Xue Hua said, "No, Fujun is only mine!" he suddenly declared which caused sudden quietness in the hall. This silence was instantly broken by someone who couldn't hold back his laughter. They were only teasing Xue Hua but never expected this Male God's reaction to being this cute. They couldn't help but cuddle this adorable person.
"Okay~ he's yours. No one is taking him from you~"
"Cutie~ I don't want the couple picture anymore. Just give this elder sister a pout. Come on~"
"Who is a cutie!? This Xue Hua is a man!" exclaimed Xue Hua but everyone just felt he was trying to be cute towards them and tease him more. They only stopped the commotion when the teachers arrived to break up the crowd.
"What are you brats still doing here? Go back to class and wait for your teachers!" said the old dean.
The student collectively answered, "Yes, Dean!"
Once the students had dispersed, Xue Hua finally let out a breath of relief. When he turned around he saw the old dean smiling at him.
Xue Hua flinched for a moment before asking, "I-Is there something wrong, dean?"
"Hoho~ Nothing dear. This old man just thought that our little genius had indeed married a good man. Your husband's subordinate called the other day when your absence had taken too long. He explained the reason and the school understood but your husband is too amazing as an apology he bought the empty lot next to our school and donated it to the school. Now we are planning on making another school building in that land. The money for the building's expenses was paid by your husband as well. He is indeed a good man."
"Eh? What!?" asked Xue Hua in disbelief.
DING. DONG. DING
Once again the conversation was suddenly cut off as the bells started ringing. This signifies the start of the first class.
The Old Dean said, "Oh it's time for class. Hurry along and go to your room. Hum~"
This old educator's mood is at best today that he started humming happily with his hands on his back as he walks away. Leaving the bewildered Xue Hua who attended his class dazed.

Meanwhile in front of the gate just before Lou Clan's Mansion, a luxurious white sedan escorted by a group of the black sedan stopped.
Countless bodyguards wearing semi-modern and ancient clothes in uniformed design style came out of the black cars and surrounded the white car in all angles. Among those men, an old man in a tunic with a profound aura surrounding him approached the white car. The aura around this old man isn't simple at all.
Those who knew things about cultivation could feel that despite his age this old man is stronger than a muscled man in younger age. He is obviously a martial artist that works for the Feng Clan.
The old man opened the door and slightly lowered his head and spoke to the ones inside the white sedan.
"My Lord, Masters and Young Lord Feng. We had arrived at the Lou Clan's Mansion."
As soon as these words were said, a few people came out of the car. The first one to disembark is a handsome man with long crimson hair, but it wasn't the same shade as that of blood but instead, it had hints of orange mixed with red. It had the same shade as the sunset. His features were first class and like Hei Anjing's eyes this person has phoenix-shaped eyes hidden within is a red-gold iris that makes him even more inhuman.
But unlike Hei Anjing's phoenix-shaped eyes which exclude the coldness and elegance of snow-capped mountains which makes him unapproachable and unattainable, this scarlet golden-eyed man emits majestic as a king. His eyes were like staring at his servants that he deemed to serve him as his majesty.
Wearing an ancient robe on him, he looks like those immortals in the legend. A god-like man whose existence itself is considered as a miracle.
This person is the ancestor of the Feng Clan. A purebred Phoenix whose cultivation attainment had reached Godhood allowing him to have a human body. His name is Feng Houye.
Following him is the Old Master of Feng, Feng Shi, and his son, the current master, and father of the protagonist gong, Feng Ku. Last but not the least, this world's most beloved son of heavens. The Protagonist Gong who had the role of the youngest yet strongest shaman in this world, Feng Hou.
Lord Feng or Feng Hou looked around the territory owned by the Lou Clan but he wasn't admiring the scenery that the sight beholds. Instead, his eyes could see a different kind of image from the trees of wisterias scattered around the place spreading the scent of floral and nature in the area.
What Lord Feng could see is a dark qi that spreads in this whole territory covering the Lou Mansion and prevents anything or anyone from seeing through what was hidden inside.
Those phoenix-shaped eyes of Feng Hou narrowed when he witnessed such a thing. He is an ascended God himself though he had descended in this mortal plane once again his capabilities are still that of a Deity. For this black aura to prevent him to see what's in this Lou Lan meant that there is another deity living in this place and this unknown entity is an Evil being with a God Cultivation stage.
A serious expression appeared on Feng Houye's handsome face and said, "You told me that the Lou Clan serves the Ghost King, Xie Mo, right?"
"Yes, Lord Feng. This clan had signed a master-servant contract in exchange for power. They had also made a promise to let one of their descendants as the Ghost King's Consort which ended up making that pure golden soul marry him instead of the Lou Clan's Scion, Lou Lan," answered Feng Ku.
Feng Houye, "It seems this Clan had two sources of power then. After breaking their connection with Xie Mo, they seemed to have found another patron to serve. But this one is pure evil yet stronger than Xie Mo or me. We are retreating!" he said as he wanted to take his leave from this place only for the darkness to suddenly descend above them.
In an instant, they were imprisoned in a black dome with no entrance nor an exit. The darkness had surrounded their entourage and couldn't see anything around them. The bodyguards that came with the Feng Clan were all trained Celestial Masters, though they weren't on the same level as Master Xie Yi and Master Shen Ling. They were still professionals. Pulling out a personally made talisman from their pockets they've made a temporary light source around them.
But it was no use as this darkness had no beginning nor an end, it was the abyss itself.
Feng Ku asked, "Just where the hell are we? There is nothing in all directions, only darkness."
"Quiet, Ku." reprimands Feng Shi to his son. Then turned his head towards their ancestor and politely asked, "Pardon me for this rudeness but this one wants to ask a question. Does Lord Feng know where they are?"
Feng Houye, the Phoenix God from the upper realm looks around in the darkness but still couldn't point out where the owner of this space is.
Feng Houye answered, "This is a God's Domain. All those who had reached enlightenment and got the strength of the deity would possess a domain in accordance with the main element they have. Just by looking at this domain, the owner of this might have specialized in Dark Elements."
He was patiently explaining to his descendants what kind of space they were in when they suddenly heard peals of laughter from an unknown direction.
Hahahaha~
Everyone had heightened their guards and pulled out their weapons though most of them are afraid they could still somewhat calm down with Feng Houye by their side as a backer. But what they didn't know was that Houye himself was at loss, because inside this domain he couldn't feel any qi in his body at all as if he had become a weak human who had no capabilities of cultivation.
Feng Houye asked, "Who are you?"
