Chapter 3

Although the emperor had ordered to seal off the news of Ximen Yu raping Long Ling’er, nevertheless this news still leaked out, and was spread to whole Tenglong city. Furthermore this news simulated the wrath of many peoples, and many common peoples already jointly made the petition demanding the severe punishment. And Emperor Long Zhan had declared a punishment of dead sentence. Many people had already predicted the end of the Ximen Yu, as raping a princess was a great crime enough to get extermination of an entire family. But Ximen clan was largest clan in the entire Kuang Long Empire, and its influence was also not that simple. Even if Long Zhan can’t move against this clan, nevertheless there was no chance for Ximen Yu to successfully escape from his fate.

“Lord, I beseech you, please save Yu’er, he is our only son!” With a tears flowing out of her eyes, Dong Fangwan was begging Ximen Nu.

“Save, how should I save? If not for your pampering, how could this unfilial son fell into this wretched situation, and even more almost implicated our clan.” Ximen Nu shook off the hands of Dong Fangwan and roared. A tiger, though cruel, will not devour its cub, even though Ximen Yu was bad, but he was still his son, so he also never wish to see his son beheaded before his own eyes.

“It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have pampered him. Lord please save him, he is not even 18 years old.” Dong Fangwan wept, and now she was really regretting. If she had known earlier that it would turned out this way…….she would not have intervened when his father was strict towards him. All this had happened because she loves her son too much.

“Ai, how can I also have the heart to watch Yu’er die? But the emperor doesn’t want to meet me, so I don’t have any measures.” Ximen Nu sighed, and all of a sudden, he seemed a lot older.

“Then how about we rescue him and send him off never to come back again.” The eyes of Dong Fangwan lit up, as if she had seen a bit of hope.

The expression of Ximen Nu changed irregularly, depending on the power of Ximen clan, it was not that difficult to rescue his son, but just like a tall tree catches the wind, Ximen clan was always subjected to the suspicion and jealousy of the emperor, and Ximen Nu was afraid that the emperor would use this as an excuse and try to weaken Ximen clan.

“So be it, I hope he learnt his lesson this time and realize his error and show some repentance.” Ximen Nu decided to save his son, after all he was his own flesh and blood.

“Many thanks lord, Yu’er he will definitely change.” Dong Fangwan released a sigh of relief. Although she may never see her son in this lifetime, but at least his life was saved.

………………………..

Don’t know how long time had passed, but the limp and numb sensation on Long Yi’s body completely disappeared. Then he woke up from his pleasant and romantic dream of that night.

“How can it be like this?” Lang Yi exaggeratedly slapped his face, and with his both hands he casually touched the metal wall, and unexpectedly discovered that the electric current was already disappeared.

“Don’t tell me……..don’t tell me, I absorbed it all? Fantastic.” Long Yi muttered while watching his both hands. With the exception of white and delicate skin, he didn’t see anything particular. But he had absorbed electric current was certainly a fact.

He didn’t know whether he could use that absorbed electric current as an attack or not, so thinking about it he raised his hand at once. Zi la, a thumb sized lightning was released from his palm, and it leave behind a shallow mark at the metal wall.

Seeing this, Long Yi somersaulted it excitement. And he again wanted to release lightning from his both palms, however this time nothing came out from his palms.

Long Yi was puzzled and stubbornly think deeply about how to release the lightning? After the while, finally he sensed a kind of resonance within his body. ‘Could it be these are electric current? Do they really have life?’

Long Yi calm down his mind, and slowly recall the electric current within his body for a long period of time, now all that was left was to obtain that life-force. Suddenly all over the body, he felt limp and numb, and Long Yi sensed the existence of electric partials. Then he immediately waved his hand, ‘zi la’ a thick lightning was released. ‘This sensation is…………so damn cool.’

Just when he was still thinking to do more research, he heard ‘kacha kacha’ metal friction sound from outside the prison. This sound was just like a sound made when someone walks while wearing a metal armor.

“Eh, the electric spirit stone is opened? It will save our time.” A low-spirited voice came from outside the door.

After some few noises, the metal door slowly opened. And a group of soldiers wearing a thick armor emerged before the eyes of Long Yi. They had a dense murderous aura surrounding them, only the person who had experienced countless battlefield and survived, have this aura. And they looked very strong, so seeing them, Long Yi couldn’t help but became alert.

“Young master Ximen, we got the order from the master of Ximen clan, so please come with us.” The leader suddenly revealed a metal plate, this plate was used for the identification in the Cang Lan continent. And above the plate, a large character of Ximen was written in a flamboyant style of calligraphy. Even though his words were respectful, however his gaze was clearly filled with disdain.

From the memory, Long Yi knew that this was supreme command plate of Ximen clan, also only the clan master have the authority to use this plate. It seems the father of Ximen Yu had send them here to save his son, but it was unlikely for him to know that the soul of his son was already annihilated at an earlier time.

With regards to the disdain in the eyes of his leader, Long Yi also didn’t cared, since the target of that disdain was that damned Ximen Yu. He put on the armor which was exactly same as those armors worn by those soldiers, then he mixed together with these soldiers and followed them. Till now he didn’t know the scale of this prison. This prison was built underground, and it contained many prison cells, and the end of the length and breadth of this prison couldn’t be seen. But there was only 5 special prison cells that was similar to the prison cell where he was locked up. It can be assumed that these cells were only for the terrifying criminals with powerful destructive power. He had never expected he was also locked up inside this special prison cell by luck.

Finally they arrived at surface of the earth, Long Yi blatantly followed the group of soldier outside town. With regards to Tenglong city, although he had the memory of Ximen Yu, nevertheless he was very impressed inside his heart after personally seeing it. This city was flourishing, the buildings resembled the buildings from the Chinese Tang dynasty. The construction was imposing but at the same time it was delicate.

After a long way out of the city gate, the team leader waved his hand and signaled to stop. Then he turned towards Long Yi and said, “Young master Ximen, clan master and madam are waiting for you in the front. Please go ahead yourself.”

Long Yi nodded his head and walked towards the direction he pointed. After a short while, he caught the sight of a pavilion. Within that pavilion, there were 4 peoples. One of them was a majestic middle aged man wearing a purple colored fur robe, and his beard was fluttering in the air; another one was extremely beautiful and elegant woman with a beautiful smile on her face; another one was an aspiring youth general wearing a black armor with dashing eyebrows; and finally a young beautiful woman wearing a pure white robe. She looked like a goddess herself.

That must be his parents, brother and sister. Unconsciously his steps slowed down, as he didn’t know how to face them. They were the important parents and siblings of this body, but they were complete stranger for Long Yi.

“Evil creature, still dilly-dallying and not hurrying over here?” Seeing Long Yi who was walking sluggishly, Ximen Nu could help but shouted angrily.

Long Yi secretly sighed, since things have already reached this stage, he had no choice but to pretend to be Ximen Yu. Out of nowhere he got parents and siblings, so as an orphan child, Long Yi felt awkward inside his heart.

He quickly walk into the pavilion, then he took off his helmet and towards Ximen Nu and Dong Fangwan performed a courtesy. As he was in the prison for several days, he had no chance to wash and dress, so his hair was in a mess as well as his face was full of stains or spots. Seeing this appearance of her son, immediately the tears gushed out from the eyes of Dong Fangwan.

“You dumb idiot, I hope you learn the lesson this time. Don’t be this bold and act foolishly or recklessly again next time. You really suffered this past few days.” Dong Fangwen stand on her tiptoes and used the sleeves of her garment and rub the face of Long Yi, and her tearful eyes were full of thick affection.

As if he was struck by the lightning, he was dazed and stood there motionless. From childhood he was always alone, and was the knife of the nation for many years. Every time he suffer from the injury, he had no other choice but to stay quiet and hide in a dark place. There was no other human who showed this much loving care towards him.

“Mother.” Long Yi was emotionally touched and said in a deep voice. Is this the affection of blood relative which many people often speak about? As expected it really make people warm in their heart.

“Well, you mother and son don’t dawdle. We don’t have much time. Yu’er come here.” Ximen Nu somewhat impatiently said.

Long Yi walked in front of Ximen Nu and said, “Is there anything to say, Father?”

Ximen Nu took out a sheet of amethyst card and hand it over to Long Yi and said resolutely, “This is your new proof of identity. Inside this card there are 10,000 amethyst coins. If you properly economize, then it will be enough for you for your lifetime.”

“Thank you father.” Long Yi took the amethyst card. He knew that this was the commonly used identity card of Cang Lan continent, and in addition it was also a bank card. 10,000 amethyst coins was a large amount of wealth, calculated as 1 amethyst coin is equal to 1000 gold coins, 1 gold coin is equal to 1000 silver coins, and 1 silver coins is equal to 1000 copper coins. And average income of a moderate family was just 10 gold coins per year. From this you can as well imagine the worth of 10,000 amethyst coins.

Then Ximen Nu took off a simple and unadorned ring from his finger, which he had worn for a long period of time. Then he grab the left hand of Long Yi and put on this ring in his ring finger.

“Father, isn’t this space ring you are giving to second younger brother really important to you?” Seeing the space ring which he had coveted for a long period of time was given to this trash, Ximen Tian immediately felt unfair inside his heart. Although space ring was precious, but with the financial resources of Ximen clan, buying a couple of space ring was still not a single hair out of nine oxen. The main issue was the ring on the hand of Ximen Nu was not an ordinary space ring, as its storage capacity was ultra large beyond comparable with other similar storage rings, and even more it can increase douqi by 30%. It was a priceless item.

Ximen Nu glared at Ximen Tian but said nothing to him, rather said to Ximen Yu, “I have stored things inside this ring that you may find useful. I hope you look out for yourself. It’s already getting late, so set out on your journey.”

“Second younger brother, take care of yourself. Without the shelter of the clan, for everything, you better think thrice before you act.” Ximen Tian patted on the shoulder of Long Yi. He had an excited expression as if he cannot bared to wait any longer from Long Yi to go. Actually inside his heart, he was eagerly looking forward for this day. For so many years, although he was regarded as a eldest son of Ximen clan, and from childhood was known a genius, but he always felt that, his father cared more towards this stubborn and stupid second younger brother. Now this idiot would be gone, he also felt ease in his heart. And he felt like the seat of clan master is already in his hands.

“Second elder brother, take care throughout the journey.” Ximen Wuhen indifferently said. With regards to this second elder brother, she didn’t have a single bit of sentiment, even to the extent that, it could be said she extremely detest him. Within her heart, Ximen Yu was undoubtedly a beast, she would never forget that night of 2 years ago. This so-called elder brother intrude her room while he was drunk, and threw himself on her while she was sleeping, and shout loudly about the dirty matters. If it were not for her attending female catching him, her purity would have been destroyed by him.

Seeing the excited expression on the face elder brother and indifference looks on younger sister, Long Yi felt unhappy inside his heart, but even after that he made his move. He stepped forward with a large strides and gave a bear hug to Ximan Tian, and using the internal force in his palms he patted the back of Ximen Tian and said, “Elder brother, second younger brother is incompetent, and hereafter Ximen clan will depend on you. Please take good care of father and mother.”

From this hug of Long Yi, Ximen Tian felt his blood and vital breath roll over and over, and he also felt that the air within his lungs were being squeezed out. Then a round of burning pain spread all around her body, and his face changed into color of pig liver. Also in front of his father, he didn’t dared to use his douqi to let loose himself from this definitely not with the best intention hug of his second younger brother.

After a while he released Ximen Tian, and Long Yi again as sudden as a flash of lightning hugged Ximen Wuhen. Then he pinched her fragrant perk buttocks without letting anyone see his deed as he quickly let her go.

“Father, mother, I’m leaving.” Long Yi waved his hand. Then he turned around and started to run quickly towards his unknown journey.

The beautiful face of Ximen Wuhen became sometime red and sometime white, and used her oppressive vision to stare at gradually getting further back of Long Yi and firmly thought in her heart, “Don’t let me see you again, don’t ever let me see you again, otherwise…”

Long Yi ran wildly all the way, thinking about his own behavior towards Ximen Wuhen just a moment ago, he couldn’t help but become somewhat puzzled.

Don’t tell me this is the residual problem of the Ximen Yu’s soul? Long Yi thus thought, but very quickly his attention diverted towards the space ring in his left hand, from the memory of Ximen Yu, he knew how much valuable this ring was. It can amplify the douqi by 30%, tsk, with this he can challenge the person who is a rank higher than him. It seems Ximen Nu was also very concerned about this worthless son.

Seeing the things inside this ring, Long Yi couldn’t help but inwardly became speechless. In the first square there were several big bookshelf, and above it there was a pile up of every kind of books. Among them vast majority were magic, douqi and so on books. Second square was filled up with various kinds of ore materials. Third square was filled with every kind of articles necessary for living, actually it contained even bed, seems like it was the bed from his bedroom. In addition there was still two empty squares, these five squares added together have 100 cubic meter space inside it. It was simply the too extravagant, because the average space rings have only 2 or 3 cubic meter of space inside it, even the highest ranking space ring have barely 10 cubic meter space inside it.

“Wealthy families is certainly different, even running away is this comfortable.” Long Yi whispered, and suddenly recalled the time when the younger brother of Long Zu and in addition Japanese organization had chased him to kill for 100 days and night, that was really miserable. He felt that the experience of these few days were simply a dream, first he was struck by lightning and sent to this another world, then his soul was attached to the body and after that he raped a princess. This was simply too unfathomable.
