夜色老司机极品盛宴

Chapter 613 - Devoured



Huo Ling opened his Death Note and saw the old man\'s biography was written in the Temporary Assignments section. "Hm? Why isn\'t he saying anything? Shouldn\'t he be able to see us, given that he is an exorcist?" he asked when he saw Mu Li just kneeling there.

"He passed out from stress." Yi Bing answered as he pulled Mu Li with the back of his collar and they saw that Mu Li\'s eyes are called.

"What a pitiful child." Huo Ling sighed as they placed Mu Li on the couch.

Earlier, they were wandering in the big S City to search for the possible hideout of the monsters when Huo Ling\'s Death Note vibrated and turned hot, thus they changed their direction and went here to ferry a soul who will be having a direct reincarnation.

"But, I didn\'t expect to meet Mu Li here…" Huo Ling muttered as he looked at Mu Li. Well, it shouldn\'t be said \'meet\' since Mu Li doesn\'t know him. "Since he is here, then Zhuo Xia should also be here." He said and opened his Death Note.

Since Mu Li and Zhuo Xia are both his permanent soul assignments, then he can look up their biographies in the other worlds. Of course, there is a restriction in this, too, for knowing too much can sometimes become bad. Huo Ling is just a junior grim reaper right now. Even if he has permanent soul assignments, he can only see the biographies of Mu Li and Zhuo Xia in the world where the three of them are currently present.

This is like what Yi Bing did when he stalked him before, without Huo Ling knowing it. But, of course, in Huo Ling\'s case, this was just a coincidence, since he knows that he can\'t open Mu Li\'s and Zhuo Xia\'s biographies if they won\'t be in the same world.

But now, the three of them are. As expected, Huo Ling also saw Zhuo Xia\'s biography, confirming that Zhuo Xia is also here. This is the advantage of crossing the Pathway of the Clouds together, since the possibility of being together in the same world in the next life would be higher.

"… eh?" Huo Ling muttered in surprise when he saw Zhuo Xia\'s biography.

"What happened?" Yi Bing asked and ignored the servants outside hanging white cloths all around the mansion for the mourning period.

"Nothing really happened. It is just…" Huo Ling answered. "Zhuo Xia, he is…!" he exclaimed as he showed the Death Note to Yi Bing.

"Oh?" Yi Bing\'s brows raised. "This is interesting..." he said and smiled.

"… don\'t be like that. I now feel worried about Mu Li and Zhuo Xia." Huo Ling sighed, feeling vexed.

Yi Bing looked at him. "Huo Ling…" he called.

Huo Ling raised his hand. "I know! Worrying is just one thing while meddling is another thing." He said as his face looked serious. "I won\'t do anything!" he told Yi Bing.

Yi Bing fell silent when he remembered that it was him who was meddling just earlier by telling Hao Baiyun about Huo Ling\'s life in this world. He sighed in defeat. "What will you do next?" he asked.

"Take him with us." Huo Ling answered.

Yi Bing didn\'t expect this. "… huh?" he muttered and blinked. "Huo Ling…" he called.

Huo Ling is angry again. So, Huo Ling should be doing this, taking Mu Li with them, so that Yi Bing won\'t have a chance to talk with him and make peace with him.

"Mu Li isn\'t qualified to attend his master\'s funeral." Huo Ling cut him off. "So, he will be leaving tonight. And he and his master\'s ties now ended after his master died. He, as an exorcist, now will become alone and be a drifting vagabond." He said. "Rather than let him go alone, we should take him with us since he will become useful." He explained.

Yi Bing. "…" you obviously sound fake. He thought, but he didn\'t say anything else and can only sigh in defeat. "Alright." he said and looked away with pursed lips.

Huo Ling held himself back not to scoff and he sneered. Then, he schooled his expression.

"Mnh…" Mu Li grunted as his eyelids twitched, indicating that he is about to wake up. "Shizun…" he called as a tear fell from his eyes. "Shizun…" he called. Obviously, he is dreaming of his master.

Huo Ling felt his heart throbbed and ached, pitying this child. Mu Li is an orphan in this world so his master has become a father to him, and has become his only family in this world. He is really very pitiful.

"Shall we take him away now?" Yi Bing asked when he heard the incoming footsteps.

"En." Huo Ling answered in a soft tone as he picked up Mu Li. "Let\'s go." He said as he flew to the roof, carrying the sleeping Mu Li in his arms.

Yi Bing followed behind him, and they left without the servants noticing.

"Hm? Where did that young man go?" one of the servants asked when they didn\'t see Mu Li.

"Who knows? Maybe he has stolen some jewelries and ran away!" someone said. "Quickly, search the mansion! \'exorcists\'?! Ha!" that person sneered as he marched inside the old man\'s room.

The other servants are timid and remained silent as they followed behind him.

"Huh. The madam is truly ashamed of him… it was only the madam\'s last drop of kindness that he didn\'t send her father to a nursing home and let him stay in this mansion!" that person continued as he kicked the foot of the bed where the old man\'s corpse lied.

The other servants were frightened by this because they feared the dead for it might haunt them later in their sleep thus they took a step back in fear.

"What are you scared for?!" that person asked and glared at them. "Hurry up with the arrangement for the funeral! The sooner we are finished with this, the better! The madam has been planning to sell this mansion for a long time! Although old, it is sold to a high price because of its historical value!" he told them.

"Yes, yes!" the other servants answered and fled in all directions while that person took out his phone to call for the funeral service.

He didn\'t notice the black smoke behind him and is crawling to his feet.

Hao Baiyun\'s Villa, underground.

"This monster… it is definitely a foreign one, thus it is a monster." Lan Tian said.

"En." Zi Chen nodded in agreement. "But, how did it possess a domain ability?" he asked and frowned.

"Domain ability, like our qiankun pouch, naturally belongs to our country." Lan Tian said as his brows knitted.

"Say…" Gu Xingfeng spoke.

They looked at him.

"Does the Golden-Haired Monkey clan have a domain ability?" Gu Xingfeng asked as he looked at them.

Their expressions changed when they heard his question.

"They do?" Gu Xingfeng\'s face became serious.

"In the past, they did." Hao Baiyun answered as he entered the room. He just returned after Tian Tian and Tang Tang have fallen asleep. Zheng Jian and Jin Chulin are watching over them.

"Boss." Lan Tian and Zi Chen greeted and bowed.

"What do you mean?" Gu Xingfeng asked as he kissed his husband.

Hao Baiyun smiled. "Chief Gu, don\'t you already know what this implies?" he asked and winked at him.

Gu Xingfeng grinned at his husband\'s teasing. But, his heart feels anxious. "The Golden-Haired Monkeys that have been missing must have been devoured by these monsters?" he said.

"En." Hao Baiyun nodded as the smile on his face disappeared and he also became serious. "Do you know why the Golden-Haired Monkeys have golden hair?" he asked.

"… weren\'t that because they were born that way?" Gu Xingfeng asked. Even if he is now married to a yao, his knowledge about them is still limited.

Hao Baiyun shook his head. "No." he answered. "The Golden-Haired Monkey clan\'s powers lie on their hair." He said.

Gu Xingfeng was stunned. This is the first time that he heard that a yao\'s power is in their hair!

Hao Baiyun\'s brows raised. "What? Our fox clan\'s power lies on our tail, so what is wrong if the Golden-Haired Monkey clan\'s powers lie on their hair?!" he asked, feeling angry as he glared at his husband.

Gu Xingfeng immediately apologized. "No, no… I was wrong… I was just…" he muttered as he hugged Hao Baiyun to appease the other\'s anger.

Lan Tian and Zi Chen who are standing on the side coldly sweated. Just then, the door opened and two people appeared. One is tall while the other one is half a head shorter.

"Boss." They called.. They are Jing Yu and Fei Xuli.
