After Admitting The Wrong God They Regret It - Chapter 33

Yuanyuan’s actions were swift. With someone still in his arms, he quickly departed from that area.

 

Xinghui felt light as a feather in his embrace, his face slightly downturned. From Yuanyuan’s perspective, he could only see the soft hair at the top of Xinghui’s head swaying with his movements.

 

At this moment, there was no trace of hostility.

 

But looking at Xinghui’s appearance, was he… sad?

 

Just because of that scoundrel from the Upper Star System?

 

If there wasn’t a bit of urgency, he would have given him a few more hits.

 

Was that thing really worth feeling sad over?

 

Lacking in backbone.

 

Yuanyuan’s lips tightened into a straight line, his reddish eyes scanning the surrounding branches and leaves.

 

He couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

 

This godforsaken place, there were plenty of trees, but all you could see was greenery. Not a single flower or gentle creature in sight.

 

He couldn’t keep consoling him by stroking his wings or horns, could he?

 

Unreasonable.

 

Yuanyuan thought, his expression flickering.

 

Just then, Xinghui gently exhaled and raised his head from Yuanyuan’s embrace, observing the surrounding spiritual energy.

 

“Where are we?”

 

“We’ll meet up with our people in a moment.”

 

At least Xinghui’s voice didn’t sound off.

 

Yuanyuan continued, “I’ve already given him a beating, and yet he still listens to you and follows along. Why the long face?”

 

Who had a long face?

 

Xinghui raised his head inexplicably.

 

“I just feel that it was a waste to bring him along when we didn’t have much energy ore to begin with.”

 

Xinghui tightened the cloth bag containing the energy ore once again.

 

After passing through a small area ahead, they would return to where the other demon clan members were waiting. Yuanyuan’s movements slowed down a bit. At this moment, he stared at the lazy swaying hair of Xinghui and casually spoke.

 

“The group from the Alliance, except for the leader, isn’t worth much. They’re not an elite force, and they probably came so quickly because they were nearby and heard the news. So, we don’t need to rush.”

 

For someone like Yuanyuan, who believed in an eye for an eye, although causing trouble for the Chairman of the Alliance would lead to some trouble later, there was no doubt that dealing with this group of people, putting the head of that Chairman who didn’t regard others highly into the mud, was what he wanted to do most.

 

But the mad dog was held back by a leash, firmly restrained in place.

 

“They have too many people, and their weapons are unknown. This was my decision. Since you’re with me, I have to ensure your safety.”

 

Xinghui’s voice was cool.

 

Even now, it didn’t reveal any emotional fluctuations.

 

But for Yuanyuan, Xinghui’s current tone was already considered unusually gentle, and not to mention the meaning behind his words.

 

Yuanyuan glanced at the small god in his arms with rare appreciation.

 

Growing up, he had never heard anyone say they would protect him.

 

Especially not during their escape, when Xinghui said it.

 

This was even more intriguing to him than Xinghui’s fondness for stroking his horns or wings.

 

***

 

The two returned to the rendezvous point without delay, guessing that the other side would also come looking for them.

 

The group of demon clan members moved quickly once again and arrived near the target location before nightfall.

 

From where they were stationed, they could see the situation of the three mountain ranges. Occasionally, there would be the roar of violent star beasts in their ears, and occasionally, demon clan members would leave, only to return bathed in blood.

 

Meanwhile, Xinghui sat quietly on a large rock cushioned with a mat as the sky gradually darkened, observing his surroundings calmly.

 

There was a slight chill under his buttocks.

 

The spiritual energy around him belonged to the demon clan.

 

Xinghui licked his lips, still tasting the sweet residue of nutrient fluid. He reflected on the events of the day.

 

He let out a soft hum from his throat.

 

There seemed to be no problems in front of him, and his tentative release of spiritual energy also received no response.

 

And Mo Juzhe unexpectedly appeared in this place.

 

Xinghui couldn’t help but reconsider whether he was just too unlucky.

 

Originally, the plan for a secret infiltration had to be accelerated after being discovered by Mo Juzhe. After all, Mo Juzhe’s knowledge meant that Yuanchun knew, and that meant both Yuejian and Abyss were also aware.

 

Abyss’s strand of consciousness could ignore time and space. As long as she detected it, she could come directly from Brilliant Star to here.

 

He had to give himself no more than two days. If he couldn’t find it by then, he would leave as soon as possible. If he returned to the Desolate Star System, Abyss’s influence on the demon clan could be disregarded.

 

Although he really wanted to find a dark place to sit down and sort out his thoughts, and figure out why he suddenly encountered Mo Juzhe on Tree Spirit Star, Xinghui knew that time was of the essence. Every tiny clue could allow them to verify whether the object here was indeed a fragment of a god.

 

The little god widened his empty black eyes, and his fine hair fell softly on his face as he stared earnestly towards the direction of the three mountain ranges.

 

Suddenly, a breeze blew by.

 

Xinghui turned his head and saw Yuanyuan had already climbed up from behind the rock and was now sitting beside him.

 

Yuanyuan’s body blocked most of the wind.

 

“Earlier, our route was traced. It was the Little Tree Spirit Clan who led the way.”

 

Yuanyuan smirked, his demeanor refined yet fake, filled with sarcasm.

 

“You see, when it comes to deceitfulness and cunning hypocrisy, I dare not compete with them.”

 

Despite having just saved the other’s brother, Xinghui returned feeling somewhat drained. But some people could turn around and betray their lifesavers, and even join forces with the scoundrels from Brilliant Star, believing that it was all thanks to the energy stones and that Xinghui was deceiving him as a false god, while his brother was saved by that damned god from Brilliant Star.

 

Yuanyuan couldn’t help but laugh at the time, only four words gnashing through his teeth.

 

“What a despicable thing!”

 

Xinghui wasn’t particularly surprised by this.

 

“Yuejian is a plant-based esper. Any plant he nurtures, including items imbued with his spiritual energy, will soothe people’s emotions and weaken genetic diseases. The effect is very significant. I could already guess the subsequent developments when Mo Juzhe appeared.”

 

Not to mention that the Tree Spirit Clan was already seeking refuge with  Brilliant Star. Many people from the lower star systems had no dignity in order to survive; what they needed was simply to survive.

 

And he couldn’t make any promises, nor could he explain what his spiritual power could bring to them.

 

Moreover, when others see greater benefits and decide not to trust you, no matter how many explanations you give, it’s useless. Doors and windows that won’t open for you will never open.

 

So, he had to rely on himself more than ever!

 

The little god clenched his fist, cheering himself on silently.

 

Yuanyuan squinted his own reddish eyes even more at this implication. How did it seem like his own god was accustomed to being bullied by that scoundrel god?

 

Hadn’t this happened more than once or twice?

 

“But speaking of which, even if I knew that Mo Juzhe was coming, I think I would still go.”

 

Xinghui had been staring at the direction of the mountains while speaking to Yuanyuan.

 

The young man’s softly contoured side face carried a hint of determination at this moment.

 

“I always have to know what I’m facing, and who the real enemy is. I have a bottom line to uphold. But if I knew, I might go faster, try not to run into them.”

 

He didn’t need the trust of these people. He just had to deal with the aftermath of the storms he encountered as best as he could.

 

The responsibility of a god was as important as the dignity of a god!

 

Perhaps it was Yuanyuan’s obedience and support that had eased Xinghui’s emotional restraint, coupled with his recent interactions with the demon clan, which made Xinghui realize that the demon clan wasn’t a race that fed on gods. His tone was unusually relaxed, like the relaxation one felt when covering themselves with a blanket during uneasy times.

 

Finally turning his head to look at Yuanyuan, Xinghui said seriously.

 

“Mo Juzhe is not a good person. Also, I didn’t have the chance to tell you earlier, but your hit was good.”

 

So good that Xinghui wanted to applaud vigorously.

 

Yuanyuan, for the first time, met Xinghui’s empty yet beautiful eyes in confusion. Thanks to the demon clan’s excellent night vision, he could clearly see Xinghui’s face and expression.

 

How could someone be so serious and earnest when praising someone for hitting someone else? It was like he was delivering some scholarly research paper or something?

 

And when he said this, it was as if his entire being was glowing—

 

Huh?

 

Glowing?

 

Realizing that this wasn’t just his imagination, but that Xinghui was actually glowing, Yuanyuan suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the mountains, and Xinghui also noticed something was amiss and turned to look.

 

In the center of the three mountain ranges, a warm white light was constantly flickering from weak to strong, as if calling out for something.
