“It should be over there.” Lian Yu pointed toward the heart of the stream. “I can feel it, Xi Mu’s heart should be over there.”

“Let’s go! We’ll swim over!” Yao Si dived into the stream with her breath held. However, the water flow passed her body instead, forming a bubble around her.

She almost forgot about the water avoiding pearl the tiny merman had forced upon her. She reached out to pull Lian Yu into the bubble before heading toward the green seedling.

“It’s there! Xi Mu…” Lian Yu exclaimed, preparing to swim over.

“Wait a minute!” Yao Si’s heart clenched, and she pulled Lian Yu back to her side. “There’s someone there!”

Lian Yu stilled, taking a closer look. There was really someone beside the tiny seedling. He had light blue clothes and seemed to be one with the water, which made it hard to spot him.

That man had to have noticed them for he turned to face them. Even though he wasn’t far, Yao Si wasn’t able to distinguish his features. Was it mental strength?

“Were you the one who threw this here?” he asked. Even though they were submerged in the water, Yao Si could hear him clearly, his voice deep and chilling. Suddenly, he reached out toward the seedling.

“What are you doing?” Lian Yu asked frantically, dashing out of the bubble. “Return my brother.… Argh! ”

Before she could finish her sentence, she choked on the water. The corner’s of Yao Si’s mouth twitched, and she pulled the queen back into the bubble. Don’t you know that we’re underwater?

“Brother?” He scoffed. “You lowly races that dare to dirty my water, you deserve to be punished.” He suddenly reached forward to pinch the seedling in his hands tightly.

The seedling started to twitch. It was felt by the gigantic tree, and a painful shriek pierced through the water.

That man was really going to kill the jade tree!

“Little Mu!” Lian Yu’s eyes went wide. Without caring about getting soaked, she spread her wings out, summoning up thousands of veins, and dashed forward without regard for anything.

Yao Si started to panic, summoning up a fire ability to help.

But it was useless. The man seemed to be surrounded by a protective barrier which prevented the ability from coming close to him.

“You’re a bloodling?” His gaze turned cold, and he released the seedling to turn toward her.

The moment he lay eyes on Yao Si, a chill ran through her, and even her bones filled with a chilling frost. She took a step backwards, a horrifying fear running through her. The man was… dangerous.

“As compared to these lowly races, your blood is a little thicker.” His sinister voice rang out, and the next instant he was behind her. “But lowly races are still lowly. You don’t deserve to be a bloodling.”

“Sisi!” Lian Yu screamed.

Before Yao Si could even turn around, she felt a menacing cold force pressure her as a white light zoomed toward her back. It wasn’t a foreign sight, since she had seen it multiple times on Mu Xuan during his fight with Li Zheng that had caused the destruction of multiple planets.

When the exact same ray ran got close to her, her mind blanked out.

Suddenly, a red light flashed and a crimson wall surrounded her whole, blocking the white ray. A force tightened around Yao Si’s waist, pulling her into a familiar embrace.

“Sisi?” A frantic caress wandered around her face, anxiously checking on her. “Be good now, breathe!”

“Mu… Xuan?” Yao Si finally reacted, taking in a deep breath before starting to gasp for air, her body starting to tremble uncontrollably. It was the first time that she had had such a close encounter with death. Even when Li Zheng had stabbed her in the chest, it hadn’t been so painfully real. The ray seemed like a force that she had no defense against.

She tightened her grip on his clothes. “Mu Xuan, Mu Xuan…”

“Don’t be scared, I’m here. Don’t be scared!” He hugged her tighter, repeatedly reassuring her, and gradually, the fear within her started to calm.

“Heh, another one.” The person didn’t panic at his missed attempt, disregarding the both of them. As he smirked, disdain entered his gaze. “You so-called bloodlings are indeed the most hate deserving in the world…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Mu Xuan frowned, and a terrifyign pressure fell onto the man. It was so great that even the Rainbow Pond started to bloat up.

Hundreds of rays appeared, forming a tightly knitted light web that flew toward the man.

“This is…” The disdain on the man’s face froze, his eyes widening as he turned toward Mu Xuan. “You are a pure bloodling.”

The moment he said that, the rays reached him, and the entire planet shook from a loud eruption. Mu Xuan held onto Yao Si, and the next moment they were in outer space.

Due to the rays, the entire Heavenly Planet was lacerated into pieces which went flying in all directions. Yao Si knew Mu Xuan’s power… but she had an urge to weep. Hadn’t she told him not to take revenge on the whole society even if he was angry?

“The people on the planet?”

“They are fine,” Mu Xuan replied immediately as though having awaited her question.

Yao Si stilled, taking a closer look. Multiple bubbles were floating upwards from the planet with people who had been in the fog. Lian Yu had to have evacuated most so there weren’t many left. Mu Xuan opened up a portal, sending all of them to the nearest planet.

Suddenly, a man drenched in blood came flying out from the planet.

F*ck, that pervert is still alive!

“Pure bloodling, there is actually a pure bloodling in this world.” As opposed to his previous sinister aura, the man seemed excited. His gaze fixed on Mu Xuan. “Come with me, I will show you what a real bloodling is.”

Real bloodling?

What did that mean? Were there still fake bloodlings?

Mu Xuan frowned deeply, completely disregarding his words. “Since you dared to threaten my cub, you aren’t going anywhere!” He raised his hands once more to summon the light rays.

“Cub? Wait—” The man stilled, but before he could finish his sentence, Mu Xuan had already released his attack. The man scooted to the side, barely avoiding it. “You!” He seemed enraged as he turned to glare at Yao Si, then instantly understood the situation and smirked. “I never expected a pure bloodling to fall to such a state. You’re with a bastard now?”

“…” Who you’re calling a bastard?

“Forget it, there is no rush.” The man smirked before turning to look at Yao Si. He started to dissipate, becoming fainter and fainter. “One day, you’ll come begging for me.”

Mu Xuan’s hands tightened to attack once more, but the man was gone already.

A bad feeling started to form within Yao Si.

“Mu Xuan, is he perhaps a…”

“Bloodling,” he replied confidently. “First generation.”

“…”
