489: It takes four minutes of eye contact to fall in love

It takes four minutes of eye contact to fall in love

".... Hahaha," was the resounding laughter echoing in the air sending chills down everyone's spines. The equation among the Nocru is simple. Bully the weak and fear the strong. 0

The moment this great Lord stepped into the main hall a deafening silence spread all over with one being afraid to cough and draw attention to themselves.

It was at this moment that Qilin Hao realised she had miscalculated. She had thought that getting the other Nocru on her son's side they would stand together against the celestials but judging from their reactions now he could tell they were cowering in the face of the enemy no matter how hard they tried to hide it.

Who could blame them? This man was like a predator at the top of the food chain-breaking through hierarchy and causing chaos. He was a calm version of Carnage descending upon someone else's territory. Because of his unfathomable strength, he could even take over foreign lands without any resistance.

Out of the many Ji Yao and Rui Fei were the only ones who dared look him straight in the eye. Most averted their gazes and others checked the windows and doors for possible escape routes lest things go south. The rest were drooping their heads like pups being reprimanded for chewing the couch.

Of the two glaring at this great Lord one worried about his territory being taken away while the other worried his boyfriend will get snatched away. One can easily tell who was thinking what.

Ji Yao felt threatened which was exacerbated by the fact that he had bore the brunt of this great Lord's formidable power. It's not that he was worried about losing his life.

It was more like he was afraid of having the inability to protect his loved ones. He was afraid that his loved ones would put themselves in the line of fire just so that they could protect him and that he won't be able to protect them from the demon dressed in white.

Rui Fei on the other hand was afraid this fox spirit with a face that could have people kowtowing at his feet and serving him wholeheartedly would snatch his man away. His argument was justifiable considering the fact that the fox demon was staring at Ji Yao as though eyeing delicious prey.

'Ah ah ah ah ah ah! Don't you know four minutes of eye contact can have strangers falling in love?!' he thought before tugging at the corner of Ji Yao's clothes chanting, 'don't look at him. Baby, don't look at him.'

But Ji Yao couldn't hear him. He kept glaring at this demon in a twisted version of a staredown contest and from the looks of it none of them planned to back down.

Desperate Rui Fei placed his hand over Ji Yao's eyes preventing him from looking any further. Ji Yao wasn't upset. In fact, he gently took Rui Fei's hand down and began to playfully massage it with tender care. From behind him, he could smell the strong stench of vinegar spilling all over.

The Lord of Celestials' laughter died down as his eyes stared deep into Ji Yao's as he said, "Combine two worlds. Indeed you aren't mature enough to wield such power."

Ji Yao just stared at him without saying a word. He was watching him vigilantly like a starving dog having gotten a bone after having nothing to eat for days. "Tsk, how childish. Typical of a Qilin," said the Lord of Celestials in a disgruntled tone.

The Celestials standing near their lord were startled hearing his tone. Their elegant soft-spoken Lord could also have such a temper? It was true. This place was indeed poisonous corrupting people's good nature. It was like an evil vine sprout forth from the soil and attached itself to the Lord turning him into a vile creature like a dark elf.

Ji Yao wasn't offended. He was just waiting for him to make his first move. Whatever happens, he would do whatever it takes to protect Rui Fei.

Seeing this stubborn appearance the Lord of Celestials sighed before snapping his fingers. Talking it out would be a waste of his energy. It would be better if he showed Ji Yao the consequences of his actions.

Thus at the snap of his finger, he drew Ji Yao into a divine space. His entire body vanished under everyone's noses and when he opened his eyes he was standing in a vast emptiness with no signs of life.

Confused Ji Yao felt around for his sword but found nothing. An inexplicable sense of danger arose in him as he vigilantly stood rooted on the spot while engaging his aether ready for anything.

A soft voice suddenly whispered into his ear from behind and swiftly shifted his body away while launching an attack. But the raging flames shooting out of his body suddenly changed into confetti sprinkling down before vanishing into thin air.

"Your power is useless here so don't bother trying it," said the man as a kang table with a steaming pot of tea and teacups materialized in front of his very eyes. As he walked over two cushions appeared as a final touch to this inviting warmth.

The Lord of the Celestials sat down and stretched out his hand inviting him to sit down but Ji Yao didn't accept his invitation. He simply wanted to get this conversation over and done with so he can go back to his lover who most definitely is throwing a fuss as we speak.

After having poured out some tea into both teacups the Lord of the Celestials looked up only to find Ji Yao stupidly standing there. "Oh, I forgot," he said as he waved his hand and a plate of familiar sugary cakes appeared, "you Qilin prefer sweet things, right? Come sit. They taste exactly as Rui Fei makes them.

Ji Yao clenched his fists and took a step forward while saying, "Don't you dare mention his name." That's his sweet little cub and he didn't want his name coming out of this man's mouth.

"Aha..... are you jealous? Do you think I am going to rob him away from you? If I really wanted him I would have taken him away from you a long time ago. I am the Lord of the Celestials, who can't I have?"

Hearing this Ji Yao was like an exploded tanker filled with vinegar spilling all over the highway on a hot sunny day. The intense pungent smell of vinegar made one choke from it. His clenched fist burst into flames as he gritted his teeth in anger.

"Don't get me wrong. He is quite interesting and all but I am more interested in you than him... If you want to leave this place then you better sit down. I am not the one anxious to go back which means I have all the time in the world," he explained before elegantly lifting the cup of tea and taking a sip his face concealed behind his sleeve.
