Otherworldly Evil Monarch

Jun Mo Xie was waiting for Chu Qi Hun’s apprentice ever since he left. He was looking forwards to this guy: he only experienced one assassination in this life; it was the quick battle outside the royal palace!

Since then, the assassin was never heard of again. There was no messages or signs, he had completely disappeared. Even if Jun Mo Xie was always concerned about the identity of the assassin, he could not find a head start for the investigations. He turned out to be Chu Qi Hun’s apprentice. Thinking of that fellow’s body movements and swordsmanship which were extremely good by then, Jun Mo Xie was sure that with proper development, he could achieve greater heights than even Chu Qi Hun himself!

So, Jun Mo Xie was really anticipating the arrival!

In short term, there wasn’t anything particular to handle. So the most crucial thing now was to train the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer. Under the effects of the elixir and pills which were maximized under the exceptionally harsh training of Ying Pu Kong and Feng Juan Yun, the three hundred men of the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer had their skills advanced like rockets. Many of them had been promoted to the highest rank of the Earth Xuan. Only one step further, they would be able to take the pills made by Jun Mo Xie again and have another great leap forward.

By then, Jun Family’s power would be formidable!

And everything would be ready!

Originally, this sort of harsh and punishing training was not a proper path to take despite its miraculous effects in developing the body’s potentials. This sort of training was like drinking poison to quench thirst. With their extremely fast improvements, members of the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer would not be able to beef up any further, and they may even experience sudden death due to the loss of life power within them because of training beyond their limits.

However, with the endless prescriptions from Jun Mo Xie and all the precious ingredients, they did not have to worry about these at all. With all the elixir and some proper treatment, it would take only a few days at most before they could recover from any sort of burn out. When they regain their health, they might even become fitter. Eventually, all the members had become used to this sort of punishing training.

This harsh training was the only exception to the peaceful and cozy atmosphere in the Jun Family.

In the following days, Jun Mo Xie also tried to relax and enjoy the peace, so that he could remember the unforgettable days in the future.

Because by the time the battle started, it would become very difficult to find such peaceful days anymore!

All their intelligence came in like the drifting snow outside, all delivering the same message: the whereabouts of the Blood Sword Hall could not be found.

The most terrorizing assassin group, the Blood Sword Hall, seemed to have disappeared from this world overnight. No trace could be found!

Not a single bit of trace was left. This was really unusual for a terrorist group that had made itself really famous!

But it was acceptable for Jun Mo Xie. With the rise of the Jun Family, the opponent, a surely firm figure, would not hesitate to let go of this organization. It would in fact be weirder if traces of the Blood Sword Hall could still be found!

These few days, Jun Mo Xie would climb to the top of towers and stare at the royal palace in the distance!

He was sure that the man in the palace knew everything!

He overcame many impulses to dash into the palace and use the Soul Sedating Technique to force out the truth from the man!

It could be done, but… if it was done like that, it would be too easy for the man!

How was his life alone enough to pay for the hatred of the Jun Family?

There are many things in this world that are worse than dying. I hope you will use the rest of your life to slowly experience it!

Exceptionally peaceful days always marked the eminence of a great conflict.

One day, wearing light clothes, Jun Mo Xie gently took the snowy path down to the small courtyard where Guan Qing Han lived alone. The snowy white was without any taint and it looked like everything was wearing white; Jun Mo Xie was wearing a light green robe, collared with snow-white fox fur which perfectly lined his handsome face. His lips were red and teeth white, his eyebrows were like a sword with a glittering glare. What a beautiful young man!

Of course, it would be better if there wasn’t the tint of evil on his face…

The young master Jun walked up slowly with soft foot steps. It was like he was being carried by the wind and sitting on the crescent moon, without having to step on the ground with his own feet.

The four ladies who were having a little conversation beneath the pavilion were stunned by his approach. Dongfang Wen Xin looked proud. That’s my son! How presentable!

Dugu Xiao Yi cried out loud and said with a laugh, “Mo Xie, you look so good!”

Han Yan Meng turned her head and it caught her attention as well. Funnily, she said pretending to be old, “Sister-in-law, your son really looks good.” Her sister Han Yan Yao was in love with Jun Wu Yi, so she happily called Dongfang Wen Xin “sister-in-law” just like how Jun Wu Yi would. But she was only seventeen and it was really a hilarious scene!

Only Guan Qing Han was still looking down at a piece of paper with a frown. With a pen in her hand, she was writing something, but now she was staring at the paper, as if pondering and did not even realize Jun Mo Xie’s arrival.

Jun Mo Xie walked up and peered at the paper covered in notes. She was composing.

“What song is this?” Jun Mo Xie asked.

“Sister Qing Han was always talking with mother recently and she kept on hearing the love story of mother and father. She was really touched so decided to compose a piece to commemorate this pure love. It was just completed and she played it once. It sounded so touching, but something sounded wrong, so she is making some changes.”

Dugu Xiao Yi said smilingly. She was looking especially adorable with her yellow shirt, small outfit, and two small white cotton ball sewn onto her boots.

“Oh? Let me have a look,” Jun Mo Xie stood there properly and looked.

“You know about music?” The ladies found it rather unbelievable.

“Just a little but,” Jun Mo Xie said humbly as he rubbed his nose. He looked at the piece and hummed along. Soon he shook his head, “No, this song is too saddening. The love between father and mother was full of heroism. Although they are now parted by life and death, their love would continue forever, unstopped by any obstacles; this is a beautiful love story, not a mundane one. Your piece might be able to touch others, but it hardly shows the admirable pure love. This will not resonate with people and that’s its biggest weakness.”

Guan Qing Han said half-stunned, “I know that, but as I tried to change it, I simply could not capture the idea behind it, and it only gets worse under my change…”

Jun Mo Xie thought for a while staring at the sky before saying, “Let me try!” And kept the paper before Guan Qing Han before laying out a fresh sheet. Taking the pen from her hand, he stood by the table and closed his eyes to think like an old monk.

Dongfang Wen Xin could not resist laughing. She thought her son was trying to show off. Dugu Xiao Yi and Han Yan Meng were also looking at Jun Mo Xie, waiting for him to fail in showing off.

Only Guan Qing Han knew that Jun Mo Xie really knew about music and did have some expertise. She was serious and anticipated.

After a while, Jun Mo Xie let out a gasp and quickly wrote down the musical symbols for this world which carried the music from another world.

He was not stuck in the process and went straight away for completion!

Guan Qing Han took the piece and was ecstatic and in disbelief as she hummed for a few seconds. She started to carefully ponder. After some time, she placed a jade flute to her lips as she continued to stare at the piece of paper. The flute started to vibrate slightly and the music began flowing out. The pitch was low, and the music flowed smoothly. The whole piece defined and explained love while showing sadness and helplessness, and the endless desire for such love…

It was like a dream! One that people desired, real and even surreal.

Jun Mo Xie closed his eyes and kept beat with his hand on his lap. He was enjoying this piece of music, which was once so familiar to him. The ladies were first surprised but later completely indulged in the notes. Such beautiful melody had made its debut in this world…

There was an end to even the best music. As it ended, Guan Qing Han stood their motionlessly and looked at the “composer” Jun Mo Xie with great surprise. Although she knew that he knew about music, but she did not know that such beautiful music could be produced by him with such ease.

“That sounds nice…” Dugu Xiao Yi opened her eyes and looked like she did not have enough. “I have never heard such touching music; how nice it would be if it had lyrics.”

Jun Mo Xie smiled and wrote down the lyrics in one shot with the pen and said, “Let’s just call it the Song of No Regrets!” But he sighed in melancholy. There wasn’t Plum Blossom Melody In Three Variations ¹ in this world!’

The four ladies crowded over and read the lyrics.

There is almost always unreasonable and crazy love in this world,

but don’t say they are too crazy;

if not for the freezing cold that goes through your bones,

how will the plum blossom become so fragrant;

Let me ask what is love and affection,

that thing that lets people vow to be together no matter live or dead;

Let us see all the stories in this world,

the most captivating would be the one about Wu Hui and Wen Xin…
