I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1248: 18.86 First Grey Star - Protector Beast, Yin-Yang Snake

The Messenger from the Palace, having been warned by the alluring man in front of them, allowed the Elder of Mo to initiate contact, not only out of deference to an elder but also because he was aware that this man might be regarded as a relative of Lord Mo Xuejing.

Mo Xuejing asked, "Elder, please say. What happened back to the capital?"

"Yes, Heir. Approximately 15 hours ago, the Barbarian Tribe appeared in the Capital City. They started attacking the big and small clans under the orders of Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun. Our Mo and Lu Clan were also attacked by them," the Elder of Mo Clan reported.

Mo Xuejing mumbled, "Barbarian Clan. Why would a warrior clan attack the capital? Did Heavenly Guardian Yi make a deal with him? Anything else?"

This time the one in the palace spoke, "Answering the Young Lord Mo, the king had been replaced by our current King Wang Xingmo. The former King Wang Xingyun had been forced to be surrendered by the Crown Prince. He and the Prime Minister escaped, and no one knows what their ending is. This little one is here to invite the heirs to return. The capital is in chaos."

"Returning is no problem." Ye Jieye looked at the Elder from Mo Clan and said, "How long can you wait? I will grab what we need myself and go back as soon as possible."

"Lord Ye, please take your time. Maybe the chaos in the capital has been concluded at this moment. But we still need to return," the Mo Elder replied.

Ye Jieye looked at his wife and said, "Wife, I have no time to play with that thing hiding in the glaciers. But I promise not to kill it, but time is running out. I will have to use brute force now."

"Hm, I understand. Anxia is our priority. So as long as it's not dead, anything is alright. Do as you must, A'Ye," Mo Xuejing said.

Ye Jieye gave his wife a forehead kiss and smiled. "I will leave the people here for you to handle. Ask them to prepare to return. I will be back for at most half an hour."

"Be careful. You can take your time, A'Ye," Mo Xuejing said.

When they all came out of the tent, Lu Shang and Leica were standing with everyone from the two clans. It seems that Lu Shang had recalled everyone ahead of time.

Lu Shang and Leica approached them. "My Lord, what are your next orders?"

"Pack up. Treat the injured and summon your beasts. In half an hour, we are going to return to the capital as soon as possible," Ye Jieye commanded.

Lu Shang saluted as he received his orders. "Yes, my lord!"

"A'Mo, you can explain things to them. I will be back soon," Ye Jieye said as he disappeared towards the glaciers.

After a short while, they were startled by a deafening monster shriek that lasted only a few seconds before it vanished and was followed by a rumbling sound on the ground, suggesting that something large had fallen.

Mo Xuejing worriedly ordered a small group under the leadership of Lu Shang to investigate, while he stayed behind to guard the camp and informed the other members of the group of what was happening in the capital.

The scream was coming from the edge of the Aurora Glacier itself, and Lu Shang, Leica, Lu Ming, and Mo Yuhan were heading in that direction. When they got close to the region, the snow accumulation was a hundred times thicker, reaching a height higher than an adult human.

Lu Ming said, "Big brother, let me melt it!"

"No. Don't use fire. This white thing isn't all snow," Leica said as he observed the snow hill's shape intently.

Bewildered, Mo Yuhan asked, "Why, Brother Leica?"

"This is a living thing," Leica said.

"WHAT!?" exclaimed Mo Yuhan and Lu Ming.

When all the accumulated snow was gone, they finally identified the type of creature it was: a massive white snake monster. Leica checked with his eyes and discovered that this enormous snake had a bit of divinity similar to the Nightmare Beast from the Death Forest. Lu Shang also noticed the shape of the snow hill and scowled.

He carefully controlled the wind to remove the snow that was gathering in front of them. Suddenly, a glittering white scale appeared before their eyes. It is a huge scale, but not that of a fish.

Lu Ming screamed in shock. "What a huge snake!? How can it grow this big?"

"This... This... Isn't this the Aurora Glacier's protector beast?!" Mo Yuhan exclaimed as he recognized it.

Lu Ming said, "Protector Beast. Doesn't this mean it's your grandfather's mount?"

"Well, yes and no. It is indeed the Protector Beast of the Aurora Glaciers, but it doesn't listen to the ancestor. It is so conceited that it doesn't want to listen to anyone. But this place is its house, so it still protects this place. What should we do? Is it dead?" Mo Yuhan said.

Lu Shang said, "It's alive but unconscious. It just got beat up and tied into a knot."

"Lord Ye must have done it. This one must have stopped him from going in, and he beat it up. Weirdly, he didn't kill it though. Maybe Lord Mo asked him not to," Leica said.

Lu Shang observed a subterranean cave that was clearly man-made as if someone had punched a hole through the ice mountains; it is plain who might have accomplished such a feat.

"Let's go back and report. Since this thing is alive, let's leave it be. If it woke up, it would definitely be enraged," Lu Shang said.

Mo Yuhan said, "Wait. I want to take pictures with it. Ming, help me take pictures."

"What the... fine. Take one for me too," Lu Ming said as the two young men enjoyed taking pictures of such a god-grade being. Even though it's knocked out, it is still a mythical being, and gaining pictures of it is not lost.

Mo Yuhan said, "I'm going to brag about it for a long time. Hehe~. Let's show it to my cousin too."

"Let's go. A'Shang has taken off already," Leica said.

After the four of them made their way back to the camp, they told Mo Xuejing what they had found. Mo Xuejing was a little overjoyed to learn that his grandfather's protector beast had been not only defeated but also bound into a knot.

Sigh~

Mo Xuejing said, "I told him not to overdo it."

The others from the two clans were startled themselves as they encircled Lu Ming and Mo Yuhan, demanding the images they had just taken. As for the Mo Elder, he fainted watching their clan's guardian beast played like a toy by Satan. The Palace Messenger began questioning his life as well.

However, Ye Jieye never imagined that he would find himself in a world made of lava when he descended into the depths of the Aurora Glaciers.

It appears that beneath the thick layer of ice, there is an active volcano that has frozen over time, and if a member of the Mo Clan were to fall into it, they would probably die instantly because the fire elements here are too strong, even for the Lu Clan, who is supposed to be loved by the fire.

However, Ye Jieye finds that this region is cool and comfortable; he glances around and uses his hand to test the lava's purity. The lava does not burn his hands when he touches it. Instead, it feels like ordinary water.

"Not bad. This place can greatly help one ability to increase fire. Xiao Xia will like this place. My daughter is a wielder of both ice and fire elements after all. I should hire and find that strawberry to help my daughter fully awake in her cute body." Ye Jieye mumbled as he spread his divine consciousness looking for a strawberry plant within the world of lava.

When Ye Jieye opened his eyes, a smirk appeared at the corner of his lips, as if he had found something hidden in his secret land.

"Oh~ no wonder that stupid white worm is trying so hard to prevent me from coming over. There's something in here that can help it transcend. Unfortunately, it is now mine."

Ye Jieye descended farther into the lava and discovered a golden lava pond in the deepest part of it. In the center of the pond, surrounded by a cluster of demigod-grade Hellish strawberries, was a Lava Flame Lotus that is currently closed and has not bloomed; it is a sight to behold, but it is only a decoration for the eyes of an evil god like Ye Jieye.

"Not bad. Maybe my wife would love this. There are extras anyway, give the rest to my wife," Ye Jieye said as he stepped on the lava's surface, only to notice a hiding figure under the lava peering at him. It's another god-grade snake, but a black one.

"Oh~ so that one outside is not a white snake but a Yin Flood Snake. The Yang Flood Snake is hiding here. One guards the door and one guards the treasure. Unfortunately, this lotus and strawberry isn't enough to help you ascend," Ye Jieye said.

Under the lava, a huge black snake attacked Ye Jieye, intending to devour him in one bite. However, the creature in front of him is not human, but rather an evil god using a human vessel. Ye Jieye gave it a mocking look and kicked down, sending the enormous black snake tumbling back to the pond's floor, severely injured.

Ye Jieye said, "For a worm, you don't know your place. Either way, since you are a pair with that other worm outside, I shall spare you. I need this lotus flower and strawberries, so I will take them away. In exchange..."

He rolled his sleeves up and found himself holding a sleeping black dragon around his wrist. The dragon's master poked Roi, who was sound asleep, and drew two drips of its blood.

Roi, who was sleeping, suddenly groaned as if suffering from a nightmare. Ye Jieye pats it back to sleep and whispers, "I will have to feed you good food later. Give this lord two drops of blood."

Ye Jieye left these two drops of dragon blood in exchange for what he had taken away. Seeing this, the black snake looked at him in silence.

"This is better for you two, right? Mere and become a real flood dragon. While you are at it, protect the owner of this place for me until his death. Do you accept this deal?"

HISS~

"Good. I'll leave this here. On my way, I will throw your partner inside as well. Cultivate together. That's faster."

Ye Jieye took great care to carefully replant the plants he had dug up in the small world he and his wife own, leaving only a few garnet-colored, demigod-grade hellish strawberries in his hand before leaving the underground world.

Back on the surface, he kicked down the unconscious white snake inside the hole he had made, covered it with ice and snow, and flew back to where his wife was, giving him the strawberries he had picked up for himself to keep. Ye Jieye also noticed that everyone was staring at him, admiring and scared at the same time.

Ye Jieye asked, "What's wrong? Do I look dirty somewhere?"

"No, Big Brother Ye, you look as handsome as always. Can you please give me one strawberry?" Lu Ming flattered his cousin, who only responded with a raised one-side eyebrow.

"Hm. Don't flatter me. If you want one, ask your sister-in-law for it," Ye Jieye said.

With puppy eyes, Lu Ming gave one to Mo Xuejing and gave another to Mo Yuhan, but this time it was an ice element one. Hellish Strawberry came in two varieties: the garnet one was filled with fire energy, and the onyx one was filled with ice energy; Ye Jieye picked them both up, and they were both Demigod-grade. He gave the two brazen boys one each, matching their elements.

Mo Xuejing said, "Only one each. The rest is for your nieces!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law (cousin)!" Lu Ming and Mo Yuhan said together.

Ye Jieye said, "Okay, enough nonsense. Let's return to the capital!"
