Chapter 1236: 18.74 First Grey Star - After the dinner.

After his wife and kids left, Ye Jieye's expression changed. Although Heavenly Guardian Mu Zang was present, there were two more people that he did not get along with this time. It is okay that his wife had forgiven them; he will stick to his word because Mo Xuejing had also forgiven them, but their relationship could not go back to how it was before.

Mu Zang felt helpless, seeing his grandson in this way; they can try to get along as before, but the trust they had previously placed in each other has been spent; they will only become acquaintances, not a family, whose trust is derived from their bloodline and how they treat each other; Ye Jieye is not the original Ye Jieye.

The original ending for this family is so tragic that, in the end, even Mo Xuejing plots against the protagonists and gets himself killed in the place where Ye Jieye was buried. At least in death, they are together. Furthermore, in the original plot, due to the interference of these two old men, he not only died in the hands of his beloved but also failed to protect his children.

Seeing the awkwardness between Heavenly Guardian Lu Wangle, Heavenly Guardian Mo, and Ye Jieye, Mu Zang chose to be the first one to speak.

Heavenly Guardian Mu Zang asked, "Xiao Ye, how is your investigation into that Tower of God?"

"It's an evil god, as you have said. At this moment, he seems to be unable to leave that tower, but once his heir gets his wish granted, he should be able to come out," Ye Jieye said. "Also, I took this from him."

An orb of black appeared in Ye Jieye's palms and flicked towards Mu Zang's throat, which startled everyone, especially the target.

Lu Wangle said, "Xiao Ye, what did you do to your Grandpa Mu?"

"He returned his voice. He should be able to return to normal now," Ye Jieye said.

After saying those words, Mu Zang quickly pulled off the scarf around his neck, and then something unexpected happened: the device that was attached to his throat fell off of his neck by itself, and the wound it had caused underwent immediate healing in front of everyone's eyes. Mu Zang was then aware of the changes that had occurred in his body.

He slowly opened his mouth to say, "A-Ah... Ahh. Can you hear me?" Mu Zang asked with his real voice.

The other Heavenly Guardians in the region were astonished to see such a miracle and were equally confused and delighted for Mu Zang.

Ye Jieye said, "Gramps, get used to it slowly or you might hurt your throat. Though it heals the surface, it is still better to call a healer to cure your throat completely. Isn't Guang here? Just ask him to ask for healing."

"Xiao Ye, grandpa is happy. Thank you so much!" Heavenly Guardian Mu Zang said as he hugged his grandson. Then he recalled that all wishes from that evil god had to be exchanged for something. "Wait a minute, what did you exchange with to get back this old man's voice?! There is no way he could give it back for no reason."

"In exchange for me not destroying the tower and him wasting his energy to rebuild it, he can only give it to me. (I took it back without him knowing anyway.)" Ye Jieye said.

Heavenly Guardian Mu Zang asked, "Would he retaliate?"

"No. He won't touch our family anymore. Don't worry about him," Ye Jieye said. He had no plans to share the details of what happened to the tower.

Heavenly Guardian Mo Xinyue asked, "I heard you are going to the Aurora Glaciers to hunt. What are you going to look for there? Let the people of my clan do it. They are more resilient to cold and can move faster in that place."

"Anxia is born with the same physique as his dad. She is still young, but her physique has made some advances in awakening on its own. We need Hellish Strawberry of at least a legendary grade to help her awakening," Ye Jieye explained. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Mo Xinyue and Lu Wangle exclaimed. "What did you say?"

"A special physique awakening?! That little princess is still too young. How can that happen?" Mo Xinyue said.

Lu Wangle, on the other hand, didn't look surprised; instead, he looked at his grandson. It seems that, at such a young age, this old man had seen it before.

Sigh~

"That little girl is truly your daughter, not only having a special physique but also awakening early," Lu Wangle said.

Mu Zang recalled, "Xiao Ye also awakens at such a young age. But he is also born with a special body, so it didn't affect him much. Anxia is too young and a girl, so her body wouldn't be able to cope with her awakening, especially if it was a frost. Have you been suppressing her physical health ever since she was born?"

"Yes, it was still okay before, as it can be suppressed with a Lava Apple, but everybody is becoming immune to the effect of the Lava Apples. Right now, I'm suppressing it with my fire of life," Ye Jieye said.

Heavenly Guardian Lu Wangle said, "I will send people to go hunting with you. It's better for more people to find what you want. Command them as you will. If not, just send Lu Shang or Lu Ming to do it."

"I will also send all my free clansmen as well. They will guide you on the way. In Aurora Glaciers, they can be your greatest guide," Mo Xinyue said.

Heavenly Guardian Mu Zang said, "Can we just go in as well?"

"Zang, unlike your Death Forest, the guardian of my danger zone isn't as simple as your turtle and nightmare beast. It's cranky and conceited. It can allow anyone weaker than him to enter his domain, but if a Heavenly Guardian entered there, he would definitely appear himself," Heavenly Guardian Mo Xinyue said.

Heavenly Guardian Lu Wangle said, "You still haven't tamed that thing! How useless!"

"As if you tamed yours, you old bastard!" Mo Xinyue said.

Lu Wangle said, "If I'm old and a bastard, you guys are one too!"

"Hehe~ mine is tamed by Xiao Ye already! Behold! The nightmare beast of the Death Forest!" Mu Zang grabbed a black fur ball from his sleeves and showed it to Lu Wangle and Mo Xinyue.

They looked at the back fur ball with eyes and wings, looking like a cuddly little monster. Ye Jieye, upon seeing this group of old men who had nothing to ask him anymore, left the hall in silence. As for the old men, they played with the sleeping nightmare beast. Squishing, pulling, and bouncing it like a ball.

It had been playing with its little masters all day but was suddenly awakened by these three old men.

Lu Wangle said, "Is this really the Guardian of the Death Forest and not that huge turtle of yours?"

"Xiao Ye said so. The turtle is too mild-tempered compared to this one. Don't look down on it. It's too powerful when it transforms into all kinds of shapes," Mu Zang explained.

Mo Xinyue poked the black ball and asked, "Can it transform? Let's ask it to transform for us. Wake up, little one~"

"Wake up, you sleepyhead! Let this old man see what you can do!" Lu Wangle said.

Mu Zang, on the other hand, had spent a long time hiding out in the hall corner, where he had seen firsthand how grumpy that little thing gets when poked and played with by people other than his grandsons and great-grandchildren, and how one night when Doctor Guang stepped on it by mistake, it destroyed his clinic and became a monstrous monster.

{Urgh~ you old things are annoying! Ahh!!!}

ROOOAAARRR!!!

That evening, a massive Tyrannosaurus Rex materialized in the Mo Clan's dining hall, destroying the entire structure and engaging Heavenly Guardians Lu Wangle and Mo Xinyue in a nightlong battle that left Mu Zang watching in the dark as the two elderly fools were thrashed around and even trodden on by the enraged Nightmare Beast.

The Mo Clan clansmen saw a sleeping giant dinosaur in the place where their dining hall used to be, but more importantly, it was sitting on top of two Heavenly Guardians, Lu Wangle and Mo Xinyue. Fortunately, no one was killed, as Ye Jieye set up a noise-canceling barrier that locked in all the commotion in the dining hall that night.

Heavenly Guardian Mu Zang was at the side, laughing his ass out at these two old fools. He said, "Who told you to wake it up? Hahaha~"

Heavenly Guardians Lu Wangle and Mo Xinyue said, "Stop laughing and pull us out!"

The word had reached the palace that Ye Jieye and Mo Xuejing had arrived in the capital with their children, but King Xingyun had not had time to greet them; the Noble Factions had been pressing hard against them the entire while, and now that his elder brother is asking him to abdicate early so that the third prince can assume the throne—the third prince is still too young—the conflict between the brothers cannot be resolved.

But this equilibrium will eventually be upset; the Gu Clan, on the other hand, backed the King's Faction and helped hold back the other clans; as for the Yi Clan, Prime Minister Fu Zin personally made a move against them, which put the situation in stalemate. King Xingyun did not want the two brothers to fight to death over the throne.

He and Fu Zin could only work hard to suppress the noble faction with all of their might.

In the palace...

The prime minister was hard at work beside King Xingyun, who was buried in work; together, they had been compiling all the facts regarding the Tower of God and the Second Prince.

King Xingyun asked, "A'Zin, what do you think we should do with the second prince? My elder brother is more inclined to let his youngest son inherit his throne than his eldest son."

"The brothers fighting for the throne, we have nothing to do. Sooner or later, this deadlock would be broken. It is inevitable and something we cannot control," Prime Minister Fu Zin said.

King Xingyun said, "Are you talking about the ruins of time?"

"Yes. After all, that's the only time the two of them can make contributions. The King's Faction will be in disadvantage at that time. Because the other Heavenly Guardians would definitely side with us, but with the common people. Moreover, we don't even know what would come out of that place. We must make preparations to permanently lock it up.

But if that happens, there will no longer be any Heavenly Guardians in existence."

Mu Zang, Mo Xinyue, and Lu Wangle were related to my family; if the crown decided to seal the dungeon completely, they would undoubtedly band together. Fu Zin's words were obliquely implying that the moment they choose to permanently seal the dungeon, those whose families were trapped inside can never become their friends or allies anymore.

Thinking of this, King Xingyun made a decision: "I will go into the Ruins of Time when it opens. I will try my best to bring out their family. This is my responsibility as a king and my repayment for my sins."

"You... Sigh~ okay, then I will go with you," Fu Zin said. "There is no way I'm going to let go in there alone. Don't make me become insane like Mu Zang. Unlike him, except for you, I have no other attachment in this world. If you are gone, do you think I will still care about this damned kingdom?"

"A'Zin, I'm sorry for making you suffer all this time. Next time, let's just go together," King Xingyun said as he hugged his lover.

Fu Zin hugged him back and said, "Okay. Together until the end."
