Reincarnated In A Shitty Love Game

213 chapter 20The portal this time was very wide and twisty. Long hugged Xia close, not letting him any further. The force of the travel was miniscule because the dragon had advanced a little. The demon lord, Hong Lian’s blood really helped him consolidate his cultivation, making him on the verge of ascending. But Long forcefully controlled his breakthrough because he did not want to leave Xia behind and ascent to the heaven realm.

Thinking of all this, Long glanced at Xia lovingly. ‘Before that I have to convince him to marry me..but how? Last time he did not answer me directly, but it looked like he was hesitating. What about now?” he glanced down at Xia. “Baby, look at me? How far have you imagined our future?”

“Eternity,” Xia whispered without any hesitation. All of a sudden the end of the spatial tunnel opened up, showing a vague figure of two people standing on the other side. Xia gulped nervously. “Long...I’m scared,”

“Don’t be. I’ll be there right next to you. Besides, I should be the one sacred out of my pants,” Long mumbled.

Xia tilted his head confusedly. “why?”

“because you are his son. And he is my father-in-law, the great demon King. If he is cross with me even slightly, he can just eradicate me completely,” Long said as a matter of fact. But he did not fear the demon too much. Because the one time he meet the demon king, he looked like he was accepting his presence in Xia’s life.

The portal spat them out to the world of void, revealing the two people waiting for them.

Lian Hua anxiously glanced into the opening. When he saw the two were close, he reached out and pulled Xia and Long out gently. “Are you both hurt anywhere?” he anxiously peered at them up and down. Only after he checked them thoroughly did he let out a breath of relief. “Thank god, you reached the world Bao was in otherwise it would have been impossible to find you both,”

Xia nervously glanced at him. The masked man was talking anxiously but through his ringing ears Xia was not able to hear anything. All he could think of was...…. this man was his father. His own flesh and blood. Meeting him finally, Xia felt a sense of joy and worry at the same time.

.....

“Xia! Xia, do you hear me?” Lian hua anxiously whispered.

This snapped Xia out of his thoughts. “Y—yes...”

“Are you hurt anywhere?” the demon King whispered gently.

With a shy smile, Xia shook his head. He hid behind long’s broad back and glanced at him.

Felling his nervousness, Long answered for him. “We are good. The realm was not that bad as we thought. It was a good experience,” he said, putting his hands in his coat pocket. Inside he felt a weird pouch there. he pulled it out to find a brown envelop. “oh Bao must have slipped it when he hugged me goodbye,” he said and handed it to Xia.

Xia picked it up and opened it in front of Lian Hua’s sight. It only had a piece of paper. It was a picture of them wearing red clothes during the valentine’s day. “Oh my, this is spectacular,” he whispered in awe.

Lian Hua noticed this from the side. He peeked in and saw a glimpse of the small painting. His son was hugging the stupid dragon with a wide grin on his face. ‘looks like their relationship has progressed to far. Sigh, these two...what shall I do with them?’

“Mister....can I ask you a question?” a hesitant voice whispered.

“Yes,” he glanced expectantly at his son.

“ummm....why do you wear a mask?” he whispered softly peeking out from behind Long.

Lian Hua subconsciously touched his mask. This mask was his wife’s first gift. Long ago when they were first married, they used to travel the human world happily. But he would always get interrupted by Human woman who wished to marry him. His wife finally got fed up and gifted him a mask. This mask not only hid his cultivation, it also hid his otherworldly beauty.

He shyly scratched the mask and whispered, “My wife gifted it to me.... in never let strangers look at my face,” he mumbled awkwardly.

Xia listened with rapt attention. He really was curious about his birth mother as well. All he had heard was that she was a crayfish, and that she died before he was born. But listening to his father talk so fondly about his mother Xia too had the urge to get to know more. So he mumbled, “Was she beautiful? Did you love each other?”

“Your mother...no, my wife...she was the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met,” Lian Hua whispered with a fond look on his face. He could help but remember his lovely wife. How she used to frown eating sour food? How she used to smirk at the rain..... How she used to swim around in the wide ocean.....

He missed her a lot.

All he could do was remember her through these lovely memories. “We loved each other a lot. Our love....it transcends time and space. I love her more than anything in this world,”

Listening to him reminiscent about his love, Xia’s eyes started tearing up subconsciously. ‘I wish I had known her!’ he thought, blinking away his tears. “That sounds lovely,” he whispered, stepping forward.

Lian hua smirked widely. “Yes, yes, she really was...”

“um guys we could stand here and reminiscent all you want, but this place looks too unstable,” the ghoul standing in the corner reminded them kindly.

“Yes, we should make a move,” Long too sensed the unstable environment around him. The few days ago when they passed through this world, it looked more stable than this. He did not know what happened for it to degrade to this level. Walking forward, he let Xia and the demon king talk with each other privately. The ghoul walked up to him and bowed deeply. “Your highness, sorry for the delay. We had opened and checked many portals here, yet still failed to locate you. I’m sorry for my incompetence.”

‘that explains the unstable space,’ Long awkwardly nodded. “Umm warrior general, you do know that I’m not Wei Long right? I’m Long Aotian.. The second prince of heavenly empire ruled by Long Kilian.” he said, patting the man’s shoulders. He was able to sniff this ghoul from a distance. He was very thankful for this person’s help but he felt too awkward when knowing that he was helping them because of Wei Long.

The ghoul tilted his head confusedly. “You are Wei Long but you are also Long Aotian. Both are same to me. I was born to serve you in every form you take your highness. You will always be my priority,” he said respectably, bowing to him.

Long could not convince him further, so he accepted this ‘small tail’ on their journey. As they were walking around, he leaned closer to him and whispered, “hey curious question? Aren’t you a heavenly general that is cross with the demons, why are you travelling with the demon King?”

“I waged my forces against one and lost as well. But this demon is your father-in-law how could I hate him your majesty? Plus, he made a deal with me to work together to protect you from the dark,” The ghoul said cheerfully.

‘looks like my father-in-law likes me,’ Long chuckled out loud. “That sounds reasonable. Let me guess something else, We found you in that butterfly cave so you were killed by Icarus, right?”

“I guess so. Actually my squad and I was send down to those caves in search of a heavenly weapon by your uncle. But unfortunately we met an angry demon. Now that I think about it, we were cheated by the heavenly Long clan, ‘sigh’ it all in the long past ye!” The ghoul sighed. “Now tell me, who and all are there in the dragon clan?”

“There is my father, Long Killian, he married my mother Qing ting. She is a human cultivator.”

“Wait.... I know him, your father. He was just a young hatchling when the war happened. Wahhh time passed away so quickly,” the ghoul interrupted.

“And there is me, Long Aotian and my elder brother Long Ki. My old grand uncle Long Huitian.” Long said calmly.

“That’s all? What about the others branch families?” the ghoul said with a frown.

Long glanced at him confusedly. “We don’t have any branch family....it’s just us five,”

The ghoul frowned even more. He glanced back at the demon kind and shouted out loud. “Hey, do you know what happened to the branch Long family?”

Lian Hus’s eyes went wide. “What branch family? I don’t know any branch family.” He said with shifty eyes.

“Are you sure you don’t know? As far as I could remember, you were the leader in attacking the heaven realm you should have known about their fate,”

Lian Hua bit his lips anxiously. Wordily glancing down at his son, he sighed. “I—I killed them,” he admitted softly

“All of them?” Long gasped out loud.

“All of them..”

“Why?” The ghoul interrupted him this time.

“They killed my wife and son,”
