The mechanical sounds rings saying,
[Transfer Complete!]
System Yue had successfully pulled the Lord God and Warden Lou to the world where the host had entered. They've split on the way as the vessel that could house Warden's Lou Wuye's soul is not on the same location as his lord's vessel.
Once Ye Xiajie opens his eyes, those dark orbs state in dazed with iciness as his droopy hooded shaped eyes slightly squinted as his sight adjusted. His eyes flickered as he looked around once.
At some old yet ancient styled mansion which the others deemed as a haunted house. There are some webs at the ceiling corners full of spiders. Thick clouds of dust cover the whole interior despite its solemn old design. This huge room is a throne room renovated to be an altar. Black candles and weird cult-like formations made with red ink that seems like blood can be found on the ground. This doesn't look like a place for a human to live.
After spending time with his wife who had a love for cleanliness, Ye Xiajie couldn't accept this kind of trashy room. With a single wave of his hands every dust and disgusting thing disappears. As if the place was cleaned down to every corner, the room starts to sparkle a bit in cleanliness.
Then Ye Xiajie noticed his translucent vessel. Instead of calling this a vessel, it is more like an identity at all. He doesn't have any solid body at this moment that only his real soul can be seen. Wearing pure black robes with white inner clothing, a single jade hangs on his waist. His long yet silky black hair is undone behind his back flowing freely.
He motioned his seated self on the throne at the center and hovered in the air. Yes, he was floating. He doesn't have any physical body and was only a mere soul despite that the evil qi surrounding can even frighten those demons in hell.
Most ghosts and spirits were terrified of him. He could still feel their trembling souls hiding far away from him while trying to sneak a peek. Ye Xiajie knew that he had turned into some ghost. Not an ordinary spirit but one with the highest cultivation in this world. His identity this time is a Ghost King with his real appearance for the first time.
A small moon hovers around him, following silently. Except for the announcement of their arrival in the world, System Yue hadn't spoken another word. He seems to be busying himself with searching around the world for his possible host's vessel. He immediately found Warden Lou's soul and learned his identity but when he tried to look for Prisoner Yun Ming and his host, Hei Anjing. Nothing on his database pops up.
[Why is there nothing!? Not even a wisp of their soul presences! I was able to find Warden Lou right away but I cannot even detect the host's soul at all.]
Ye Xiajie heard his subordinate's mumbling and cleared his confusion on his head.
"You wouldn't be able to find them with normal means. Hei Jue had given them artifacts that hide the soul itself," said Ye Xiajie.
[Then... How can we find them, my Lord? I've also remembered that the Hosts had no memories in this world. But even that is temporary. If we couldn't find him before his memories returned then... Lord Hei would run away again.]
Ye Xiajie frowned for a bit and saw his reflection in the mirror. A slight change in his emotion causes the mirror to break without him touching it. The loud sounds of glasses cracking resound in that quiet hall. It made the atmosphere inside the place even more tense and frightening for those weaker spirits lingering in the area.
CRACKS~
Ye Xiajie controls his emotions, afraid he might lose control and accidentally destroy the world where his wife is. He could still remember blood tears that trickled down from Hei Anjing's eyes when he had witnessed that fake death of his.
He didn't realize how much had been hurting his beloved all this time. In their relationship, his wife had always been holding on to the short straw and had always forgiven him all the time. He almost took it for granted that his lover would always forgive him no matter what he does. They are both new to love and they have each other as first love. Though they've been together for more than a few words, they would suddenly become a love expert who had been in many relationships.
But the two were proud of their love as they were sure that they would only be able to love each other forever until the end. They only need to strengthen the foundation of their relationship. To stabilize the trust between them, honestly share each other's feelings, keeping no secrets in between them and not hurting each other at all. There are so many things to be kept in mind when it comes to love but all it needs to be fulfilled to have everlasting affection.
Ye Xiajie went back to his throne and sat back. His majestic aura matches his current standing as the strongest ghost king in this world. He is like a bug that even the protagonists are not able to kill.
"13th, I want a rundown of this world plot."
[World Plot:The Sole Scion of Lou Clan, Lou Lan, this world's Protagonist Shou was born with strong spiritual Qi despite not having the talent of sight to see spiritual beings. Because of his latent talent and pure bloodline, Lou Clan deemed him as their Scion. But the Lou Clan made a promise with the Ghost King of Hell, Xie Mo. The promise is to give him a Ghost Bride with the strongest talent of sight and spiritual qi in exchange for their clan's protection.
The destined Ghost Bride to be is Lou Lan as he was the one born with the powerful spiritual qi in the clan, but the elders of the clan are not willing to sacrifice him. Instead chose a useless illegitimate child without any hints of Qi or talents. Not thinking about the consequences of angering a Strongest Ghost King that lived a Millenia.
Moreover, they've sent him a dying bride. Once the Ghost king noticed that his Sacrificial Bride is nothing but a waste, his anger flared and cast a deadly curse at the most important figure of the Lou Clan which is Lou Lan. The Ghost King ignored the dying figure of his sacrificial bride which is the end of the substitute bride.
In the end, the Protagonist Shou meets his destined Savior, the Strongest Shaman, Feng Xin, who moves the curse to someone else which saves Lou Lan's life. This Shaman was born with Heavenly sight. He can see through souls. Golden color souls were considered the purest soul that can exist.
He saw hints of golden wisp around Lou Lan's soul and deemed him as the purest soul on earth which in the end falling in love with each other. After defeating the Villain which is the Ghost King, Xie Mo, with the help of the Second Male Lead, a Fox Demigod who adores the Protagonist Shou, they were able to successfully seal the Strongest Ghost King.]
Ye Xiajie spoke, "That Ghost King named Xie Mo. Is it my current identity?"
[Y-Yes, my lord.]
With a cold face, Ye Xiajie asked, "You found me an identity that needs to get married!? What would you do if that substitute bride didn't happen to house the soul of my wife? Answer me, Executioner 13?"
The frosty and fierce voice of Ye Xiajie can be heard echoing in the wide hall. After the in rage Ghost, King finished speaking that a deafening silence can be heard in the area. Even the small sound of a needle falling can be heard at this moment.
[My Lord, I have chosen your vessel that would greatly match the other vessel my host had before. Most of the host vessels in the other worlds were either cannon fodder or a villain. I took the highest probability that would make the Lord's vessel to match these criteria!]
System Yue who heard his lord call his title with a scary tone could only voice his reason for choosing the current identity of his lord. As expected once Ye Xiajie learned the reasonable excuse of his subordinate for his current vessel that the dark aura surrounding him suddenly fades.
Accepting the excuse System Yue had spoken, Ye Xiajie calmly reacted. "List down all main characters and supporting ones, even the cannon fodders, and mobs that get involved with the protagonists. I want you and Lou Wuye to check them one by one to see which one might house the soul of my beloved." commanded the Lord God of the Nether System.
[As you've wished, My Lord.]
"Make sure to report right away if you feel that it might be Jing'er or not. A bit of similarity to my wife's temperament, immediately report it to me. I shall check each of them myself. For now, leave. This Lord wants to be alone for now." said Ye Xiajie.
[This subordinate will follow your orders!]
After saying those words, System Yue had disappeared from within the room. All the weak ghosts had all run out the moment they heard the king wanted to be alone. He erected a protective barrier around the hall, before closing his eyes in meditation. He wanted to see more of the memories of that past he currently doesn't have. The younger version of his wife is something he had seen for the first time.
As he kept watching, Ye Xiajie could no longer stop wanting to see more. Without his full memories intact the only version he knew about his wife are those fake faces that his vessel had held. He had yet to see his wife's real appearance except for that video in the last world.
Like a drug bewitching him to fall, that short seconds of recording had already become an everlasting memory in his head. He couldn't even forget about it even if he wanted to.
The last time they were together was full of bitterness. He wasn't even able to see him leave. That last visage of his Jing'er full of sadness and pain made him suffer in remorse. Instead of just mere heartache, an indescribable emotion was gnawing in his heart. The fear of emptiness shook his soul, he had been missing his wife in those 500 years he had spent in the last world because he couldn't leave.
That was the first time his wife had taken any action against him and sent him away, even imprisoning him in that world because he didn't want to see him at all. Knowing that it was entirely his own fault, he couldn't even blame his Jing'er.
Slowly closing his eyes to hide those obsidian eyes, Ye Xiajie mumbles, "At least in my dreams I can see you., Baby~"
