Chapter 1920: 24.181 Sixth Violet Star - Visiting the Mine
The God of Destruction and the Sovereign God of Void and Darkness accompanied Nangong Rui back to his home. The family of Nangong Rui had long detached themselves from the main family. The reason was because they found out that Nangong Rui’s mother had an elven bloodline. In short, she isn’t a pure human.
Most noble clans, regardless of whether they are pro-noble or neutral, had some hatred towards those who are mixed, especially the oldest in the clan. Unfortunately, for the Nangong Clan, Nangong Rui’s mother is also from a wealthy family and never needed their support.
When they arrived at the gates of Nangong Rui’s house, they saw a servant of Nangong Clan’s family branch and the current human marshal, Mu Liao being sent out of the house by Nangong Rui’s parents.
They heard Nangong Rui’s mother shouting, "How many times do I need to tell you!? We are not selling the mines. That’s something his maternal grandfather gave to my son as a gift."
"Moreover, we are no longer a part of the main family. A mere servant dares to speak to us like this! You will not be welcomed in this mansion again," said Nangong Rui’s father.
The servant of the main branch of the Nangong Clan had a red face in embarrassment and anger. He threatened the couple.
"I was told that the alliance is in need of that jade in mine which is enough to be used as materials for the new weapon the military is able to release. Do you want to go against the Alliance!?"
The parents of Nangong Rui glance at Mu Liao who looks like he didn’t want to give up asking for that mine. He had bought a lot of jade from there and it was used as initial materials for the new weapon. After learning that the jade ore is extremely useful to create the new bullets he asked the main family of the Nangong Clan to act as a middle man for him. Thinking that since they are family they can help him meet the couple.
Mu Liao didn’t expect that the relationship between this family and the main branch of Nangong Clan was the worst there is. He regrets asking for the help of the main branch.
Marshal Mu said, "Butler, we should get going. Since they didn’t agree. No need to force them. There might be another source area as long as we find it there is no need to bother Mr and Mrs Nangong. But please until we find a new source let the military continue buying the jade ore."
Sigh~
"Of course, as long as it wasn’t the mine you wanted to buy, selling the other items is possible," Nangong Rui’s mother said.
Mu Liao responded, "Thank you, Mrs. Nangong. We shall excuse ourselves now." He pulled the person from the main branch towards the exit. As if afraid that this person would cause a big misunderstanding.
They bumped into Nangong Rui and the two princes from the Beastmen Race at the gates. Everyone looked surprised as they saw these children. Even the Marshal seems to be shocked.
Marsal Mu Liao said, "Classes are done today? Have a nice rest."
"Tsk! A group of mixbloods. Disgusting!" Whispered the servant from the Nangong Clan’s main branch.
These words might not reach the ears of Nangong Rui who is a human but to the God of Destruction and his beloved in their beastmen body heard it too well. Hei Anjing curled his lips in amusement while a frown appeared on Ye Xiajie’s face. As for Mu Liao who was beside the servant, he also frowned as if offended by the man’s words as well.
The Sovereign God of Void and Darkness threw a Phoenix flame towards the servants and he started screaming in fear. This is a flame that purifies the filth. This includes a human’s malice, greed and all kinds of negativity in existence.
ARGH~
"M-MARSHAL! S-SAVE ME!!! IT HURTS!!! IT BURNS," screamed the servant from the main family’s Nangong Clan.
Marshal Mu Liao looked at Ye Xiajie who looked nonchalant with what he did.
Hei Anjing sneered and said, "Since you cannot hold on your tongue, experience what it’s like to be burned for a few days. Don’t worry that flame will not kill you nor would burn anything else and will just let you feel pain. The more bad thoughts you have the hotter the flame will be~. Aren’t you going to have a fun few days~."
The God of Destruction leans to meet the eyes of the servant who was horrified seeing the endless darkness within those eyes. The servant screamed and fainted. Even after losing consciousness the man still twitches in pain.
Marshal Mu asked, "This flame will not take his life or body?"
"Yes. It will keep burning for a week. If it doesn’t fade out then come to me to complain," said Ye Xiajie. He showed such a powerful stance that left the others speechless. It just shows that he fears no one, not even this marshal.
The God of Destruction said, "Let’s go." Before the three walked away, he meaningfully smiled at the human marshal which startled the latter.
The human marshal watches the children walk away and only when they meet the couple from before and disappear in the mansion that his face turns so cold as he looks down on the servant who fainted on the ground. He even lightly kicks him.
Mu Liao utters, "Useless bastard!"
After asking someone to send the servant back to the Nangong Clan, Mu Liao left and returned to the military compound.
On the other hand, inside the mansion, Nangong Rui is introducing Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie to his parents. The parents of Nangong Rui were grateful towards Hei Anjing who helped him with awakening his Elemental King. Even Mrs. Nangong didn’t know a way to do such a thing but she had found some old book in her clan about spirit awakening and taming.
According to it, it requires a large source of qi to hatch an elemental egg. For elves who were born with affinity to nature this is not a problem but human affinity to nature depends on fate. If you were born talented then it’s no problem but Nangong Rui and his family were ordinary people. They would have lived as ordinary humans if Nangong Rui didn’t meet his seniors.
Mrs. Nangong said, "You must be Prince Hei. Thank you for helping our son."
"We knew it’s hard for ordinary people to hatch an elemental egg even if we knew we might not be able to help our son. So we want to express our gratitude to you. You may request anything within our means," Mr. Nangong said.
The God of Destruction said, "Please don’t overthink. I only help him because I happen to be there. As for the payment, I had told your son what I wanted."
The old couple looked at his son and Nangong Rui had no other choice but to answer.
He said, "The senior said he wanted to come to my jade mine and check something. I’ve already agreed so..."
As expected his parents frowned and didn’t expect that it had something to do with their son’s jade mine again.
Mr. Nangong said, "It’s that mine again. Is there something wrong with it?"
"Prince Hei, do you know what’s wrong with that place? Is it something serious that you would come here yourself?" Mrs. Nangong asked. It seems that this lady is intelligent enough to know that something is wrong with mine for people to be interested in it.
The God of Destruction said, "Worry not. I’m not sure yet. That’s why I need to check on it."
"We will send you there," Mr. Nangong said.
Ye Xiajie responded, "Thank you."
With two adults accompanying them, the three children who went with them as well. They took a ride and reached the jade mine under Nangong Rui’s name. The caretaker of the mine was shocked to see them coming. There is even a hint of anxiousness in him when seeing them.
The caretaker asked, "Lord, Madam, Young Lord, why have you come?"
The wording of this caretaker made Mr. Nangong and Mrs. Nangong furious. He is asking the owner of the place such a question who he is trying to offend.
Mrs. Nangong below, "Are you asking us, the owner of this place, why we are here? Are you serious about acting dumb!?"
"Honey, calm down. Let me talk," said Mr. Nangong.
The caretaker finally realized that he had asked the wrong question and felt even nervous that he was covered in sweat. The God of Destruction was observing the mana ever since they had arrived. He looked so relaxed as if being backed by someone powerful. Maybe because the left unattended that this caretaker forgot who his real master is.
Hei Anjing approached the caretaker of the mine and took him off guard. He asked, "Who is your backer?"
