Chapter 168: An Explanation

“Wait a minute, calm down!”

Yao Si’s heart sank, but it was too late to stop him. Lin Long dashed toward Mu Xuan without any regard, unleashing his attack. A white glow filled their vision, sending tremors through the entire space.

Yao Si had assumed before that Lin Long was a first generation bloodling, but now that she had learned that he was an ancestor, she started to worry for Mu Xuan. Moreover, Lin Long was mad from fury. If he wasn’t careful…

Thump!

Suddenly, with a kick from Mu Xuan, a certain someone went flying like a shooting star…

“…”

Yao Si swallowed her words silently.

Alright! As proven, dad will always be dad. 

╮(╯▽╰)╭

How did it look like Mu Xuan was losing? He definitely had the upper hand, taking full control in less than five minutes. Rather than calling it a match between two equally matched ancestors, she should call it a beating from Mu Xuan.

Too… brutal!  Yao Si shielded her eyes silently, having an urge to lit Lin Long a candle.

“It’s impossible, how can I lose to you?! F*ck! Are you a f*cking pervert? How can you have such a strong force?

“Aw… F**k, f*ck, f*ck! Are you bullying a single dog now? Are you looking down on me? Wait a minute! Not the face… Aw! F*ck… I won’t forgive you heterosexual couple!

“Awwwww… It hurts, hurts, hurts…”

The air was filled with a certain someone’s anger-filled grievances, a hint of helplessness and ugly sobbing.

-_-|||

Ten minutes later…

They finally came to a stop, each of them taking up a side. It was as though an entire universe separated them.

“You-you guys!” Lin Long panted, trembling uncontrollably. He seemed to be in a confusion from pain and anger, even his intense healing powers unable to save his badly bruised face. He glared at Mu Xuan in fury before turning his death stare over to Yao Si. “I’m going to blame it on my bloody luck!”

In a flash, he disappeared.

Mu Xuan didn’t persist with a chase. Instead, he appeared in front of Yao Si with anger still tainting his features. He reached out, pulling her into his embrace before heaving a sigh of relief, caressing her head in comfort. “Good girl, everything is alright.”

“…” But there wasn’t anything wrong…

“Let’s go home.”

“You aren’t chasing after him?” Yao Si asked. It was totally unlike Mu Xuan’s style.

His face sank. He seemed to have sensed something as he spoke resolutely. “He isn’t the same as us, I… can’t kill him.”

“…”

Without explaining, he opened a space portal back to the Red Planet.

–

Once they reached home, Yao Si reported her suspicions and everything that had happened. Even though Lin Long had done a lot, he didn’t seem to be doing anything against the bloodlings or anything bad at all.

She talked most about his identity…

In the beginning, he had mentioned that the bloodlings originated from ‘the old man’ and he seemed to have converted a whole lot of earthlings. He also mentioned that he was the only ancestor left in the Galaxy.

He had later mentioned about his race, if it could be called a race. There had to be more than two people for that, and he was definitely not referring to the bloodlings that existed today. Where were the others then?

Next was his attitude toward Mu Xuan. Initially, he had treated the bloodlings with disdain and repulsion, adamant that they were created by his ancestor friend, so he had even refused to acknowledge their identity. But he remained insistent on Mu Xuan’s pure breed status! Even though Mu Xuan had awaken the ancestral bloodline, he was originally an earthling as well.

Lin Long had also used the term ‘this world’. Initially Yao Si had assumed that it was another name for the Galaxy, but from the conversations, it didn’t seem as such. He seemed to have completely removed himself from the scope, but if he didn’t belong to this world… where was he from?

If everything was true, a bold suspicion started to form within Yao Si. If it could be confirmed, perhaps Lin Long’s real motives could be figured out.

“His bloodline is a little odd.” Mu Xuan seemed to have thought of something. “I can’t feel any connection with him.” That was the reason he couldn’t kill him. Even though Lin Long had been attacked by another bloodling, he was still able to self-heal. “Maybe his ancestor claim is true.”

The corners of Yao Si’s lips twitched as she was reminded of the two ancestors’ ridiculous names.

“I’m afraid he’s the only one with the answers.” Mu Xuan frowned. “It won’t be easy for us to investigate by ourselves.”

“Why don’t we… ask him,” Yao Si suggested.

“…” Mu Xuan.

Yao Si’s assumption was simple. Even though Lin Long was mysterious, wasn’t there a portal to his nest in the heart of the Red Planet? The other bloodlings weren’t able to enter, but that didn’t mean that Mu Xuan would be held outside as well. Besides, three days had passed since they had fought, the king beasts was killed, and blue planet was destroyed. Regardless of how angry he was, he should have calmed down… Probably?

As for that incident, even though it was Mu Xuan who had killed the king beast and coincidentally slashed the blue planet apart, Yao Si couldn’t help the guilt that rose within her.

Previously, once they met with a disagreement, they would fight to their deaths. But as a weakling with level zero ability, there was no way Yao Si could stop anyone.

Initially, Mu Xuan was against the idea of walking into the lion’s den, but after she assured him continuously that nothing bad was going to happen and mentioned her special identity as a contractor, he garnered up an incredulous amount of tolerance before agreeing to give it a shot.

As expected, the blood fog that kept everyone away had no effect on Mu Xuan. They managed to enter successfully, and in a short while, they arrived at the house she had stayed in for about three days.

Yao Si had thought that they would need some time to find Lin Long, but he had no intention of hiding. The instant they arrived and lifted their heads, the sight of him splayed on a couch like a dead fish came into full view.

“What do you guys what?” He glanced at them, his body lifeless on the couch, showing no intention of being about to stand up. “What is it? Is beating me once not satisfying enough, or you want to be an eyesore?”

“…” Mu Xuan who had been in high alert and prepared to attack at any moment.

The ancestor wasn’t what they had expected.

“Are you here to laugh at me?” Lin Long asked then. “Are you happy now that I can’t go back?”

“Go back?” Yao Si exclaimed. “Where do you want to go?”

“Don’t you know?!” Lin Long bolted upright while looking at them. “Then why the f*ck would you kill my king beast?”

Er…

“You kidnapped my young cub,” Mu Xuan replied coldly.

“Do you f*cking think I liked keeping your contractor!” Lin Long exploded and pointed at Yao Si before starting on a series of complaints. “She’s arrogant, a picky eater, and f*cking made me download Danmei novels for her every single day while forcing me to evaluate which one is better. I’m a perfectly straight guy, so how would I know? Take her away! I never want to see her again!”

Er…
