Afterlife Department

In a large villa, only three people are living inside, making it looked desolate. "How is he?" Hao Baiyun asked.

"The Gu family's butler had taken care of the little master. He said that the little master is sleeping with… him, now." Fei Xuli said.

"The Gu family has only him as their son, but he had cut off his connection with his family." Hao Baiyun said. He is referring to Gu Xingfeng. Gu Xingfeng's parents, being worried for their son, had sent their family's butler to take care of him, thus the butler can be trusted not to speak of Tian Tian's existence.

Fei Xuli frowned. "If not only for the second master…" he gritted his teeth in anger. The second master he is referring is Hao Baiyun's uncle.. "Little master Tian can openly be acknowledged by the family – " he said.

Hao Baiyun cut him off. "Not only him." He said. "As long as the dangers directed at the family aren't eliminated, Tian Tian wouldn't be safe." He sighed. "It's better for him to stay with… his father." He softly said.

"Young master…" Fei Xuli called before he lowered his head. Jing Yu just silently listened to them.

Hao Baiyun didn't speak more. His uncle – Hao Ming, is the one who wanted to harm his mother – Hao Ying, and his mother's twin sister – Hao Ning. The Hao family knows about this, but in order to preserve their image, they didn't send out the news. Hao Ming wanted to kill his sisters – especially his aunt, the nine-tailed fox, in order for the family to regard him the highest. However, Hao Ning realized his evil scheme and lured Hao Ming away, thus Hao Ying was safe and only Hao Ning was harmed by Hao Ming. The Hao family immediately sent Hao Ming away. They asked him where is Hao Ning, but he didn't answer, thus he is locked by the family, never to see the light again.

However, Hao Ming's wife and children are still there and they plead for the old master. The old master, after becoming so old, finally relented before his death and freed Hao Ming. He asked for Hao Ming to tell him where Hao Ning is, only for Hao Ming to laugh like a madman and told them Hao Ning had died. The old master died full of regrets and ordered to lock Hao Ming but leave his family. They locked Hao Ming again, but his family continued to scheme. They are bitter of the fact they aren't nine-tailed. The one who had the most resentment is Hao Ming's eldest son. He resented Hao Baiyun the most, since Hao Baiyun was the one who inherited the family instead of him after Hao Baiyun's father died, and Hao Baiyun carried their family's name.

Hao Baiyun's accident before that led him to have a child with Gu Xingfeng is because of this cousin of his. Fortunately, the news of Hao Baiyun being raped after having fed of aphrodisiac didn't spread. His maternity with Tian Tian was guised as him recuperating from the drugs fed to him. Hao Baiyun's cousin was then sent to where Hao Ming was locked up. Due to that, Hao Ming's remaining family temporarily retreated. But, they still continued to scheme.

Gu Xingfeng…. Hao Baiyun called the man's name in his mind. He closed his eyes as he remembered the man's face, and his touch…

Fei Xuli and Jing Yu stared at Hao Baiyun with wide eyes when they saw Hao Baiyun's tails started to appear. They immediately left the room and tightly closed the doors and windows.

"Shall we call Gu Xingfeng?" Jing Yu finally spoke.

Fei Xuli is anxious. Hao Baiyun is in a rut. "Call." He finally said.

Jing Yu immediately calld Gu Xingfeng while Fei Xuli looked at the monitor. Hao Baiyun was wriggling on the floor while panting. His tails cannot be seen in the monitor, but Fei Xuli is a yao thus he can see that Hao Baiyun's fourth tail has already appeared. "Tell him to go faster! Just leave the little master to us!" he felt irritated.

Jing Yu immediately relayed the message to Gu Xingfeng who was awoken. "Faster." He said before he hung up.

When Hao Baiyun's sixth tail appeared, Gu Xingfeng finally arrived. Jing Yu immediately took Tian Tian from Gu Xingfeng and before Gu Xingfeng could react, Fei Xuli pulled him. He opened the door and pushed him inside. Then, he locked Gu Xingfeng and Hao Baiyun inside.

"Let me hold him, too." Fei Xuli told Jing Yu as he reached for Tian Tian. The three of them left without caring what will happen to Gu Xingfeng and Hao Baiyun.

Or that, they left since they know what will happen next. Gu Xingfeng sighed before he turned to Hao Baiyun who was panting on the floor. His body was bathed in sweat. He's really beautiful. He thought in his heart as he looked at Hao Baiyun's six tails.

Hao Baiyun smelled Gu Xingfeng's scent and he immeidtaely pounced on him. Gu Xingfeng opened his arms and hugged Hao Baiyun tight. He groaned when Hao Baiyun grinded his body against him. A fox can only have one mate, especially the nine-tailed fox. The nine-tailed fox can never change his mate, even if his mate had died.

"Xiao Yun…" he called when Hao Baiyun bit his shoulder and it bled. Then, he gasped when Hao Baiyun licked the blood, together with his wound. "Even if you only need me for convenience, I'll accept." He said as he caressed Hao Baiyun's face and softly kissed him. He carried him in his arms, and the dazed Hao Baiyun wrapped his arms around his neck in response, not breaking their kiss.

Gu Xingfeng carried Hao Baiyun to the bathroom and the water from the shower splashed on them. But, it didn't dampen their desire towards each other. They tore each other's clothes and, after the foreplay, Gu Xingfeng entered Hao Baiyun, deeply hitting the spot which made Hao Baiyun's body numb and he came. However, it wasn't the end since Gu Xingfeng immediately thrusted in and out of him and, after some time, came inside him.

"Haaa…" Hao Baiyun gasped in satisfaction. His nine tails were all out and cushioning him back from the cold wall. He groaned in pleasure when his body rocked from Gu Xingfeng's thrusting, and his back grinded against his tails. "Gu Xingfeng – " he called as he cupped Gu Xingfeng's face.

Gu Xingfeng also stared at him. Deep emotions in their eyes and they kissed. Gu Xingfeng then carried Hao Baiyun to his bed and they started again.

Meanwhile, Fei Xuli and Jing Yu peacefully slept with Tian Tian in the middle of them.

On the other side of the world, Huo Ling's forehead was knotted. "Albert and Gilbert aren't here. As well as Ronald and Michel." He said.

"They're missing?" Yi Bing said as he walked towards Huo Ling after he saw him went out of the hall with a frowning expression. He let him look for his friends alone but kept him within his sight.

"Yes." Huo Ling sighed and looked at the vast sea.

Yi Bing noticed what he is thinking. "Maybe the ship hasn't found their soul yet." He comforted him.

"En." Huo Ling just said.

Yi Bing didn't speak again. Since they have talked about the evil yao earlier. The evil yao not only committed sins, but also can devour another yao – as well as humans, to increase their strength. Of course, eating a yao or a human has a repercussion. Their life will decrease for every life their devoured. Thus, Huo Ling is worried if an evil yao had eaten Albert, Gerald, Ronald and Michel when he hasn't seen any of them in the ship.

However, Yi Bing was thinking of something. It couldn't be… a Soul Eater again? He thought and his eyes narrowed. The Soul Eaters were already suppressed before. However, it isn't strange for him to meet another one since there might have some Soul Eaters that escaped the grim reapers' clutches. Of course, he wouldn't tell this to Huo Ling since one, it isn't necessary for Huo Ling to know about the Soul Eaters and two, he didn't want to add to Huo Ling's worries.

"… Huo Ling?" a voice called behind them. The voice was hesitating, and is also unsure.

Yi Bing and Huo Ling turned. Huo Ling was puzzled, but Yi Bing was surprised. "You know me?" Huo Ling asked as he looked at a man wearing a black suit similar to Yi Bing. The only difference between him and Yi Bing is that the man is wearing a yellow necktie while Yi Bing wore a blue one.

"San Di." Yi Bing called Di San after he recovered from his surprise.

"Yi Bing." Di San called as he turned to Yi Bing. Then, he glanced back at Huo Ling. He, Feng Er, Si Shui and Liu Lin were inside one of the cabins of the ghost ship when he went out and saw Huo Ling passing by. He felt he was familiar, and finally decided to follow him. He wasn't sure if it was Huo Ling, since his appearance slightly changed.
