Knock. Knock. Knock.
Fa Yue carefully knocks on the ice door, afraid of breaking it. But when his fingers touched the door made of ice, he could sense a strong aura of Ice. He realized that even if he punched the door with his full strength it would even break under his attack. That's how much pure energy Fa Yue could feel towards the Ice Mansion.
After the third knock of Fa Yue, the main door of the mansion slowly opens revealing a man in ancient clothes worn by shamans in Old times. This man has a raging red-orange long hair as if his hair is the sun himself. A strong essence of fire and light was coming from him. It was Zhi Yang in his human form.
Zhi Yang, who had longed to await his arrival, said, "You're here. Come in. Master said you can wait in the living for a bit."
Stunned with the unexpected, "Um. Thank you." said Fa Yue as he went inside the mansion and silently followed Zhi Yang towards the receiving area.
Arriving at the living room, Fa Yue is now able to see clearly the interior of this room he had seen from the outside. As he expected, the temperature in this place had steadily warmed him up. His hidden wings which were slightly iced due to him flying around just now had started to melt and resume their normality.
He felt his fatigue fading with that accumulated cold air in his whole body and felt relaxed the moment he took his seat on one of the soft couches available inside the reception room. Zhi Yue had also served some coffee for him.
Zhu Yang took his cup of coffee and said, "Please… The lord still has something to do. Do wait here for a while."
Lots of thoughts scramble in his mind but the undeniable hidden aura coming from within the mansion cannot be ignored. This pure aura with divinity is something he had only felt towards his King, Yan Lou. As someone from the race that was born with divinity, there is no way he could ignore such pure energy.
"Oh," he took the served cup with trembling hands that looked so comical as he wasn't even looking at the cup in his hands but kept on glancing in the direction of the kitchen where Hei Anjing is.
Zhi Yang was silently observing him from the opposite seat. Based on his reactions he could see that this fallen in front of him could be something no ordinary being could see.
"Don't be nervous. Lord Hei doesn't care about strangers at all," said Zhi Yang.
Fa Yue flinched and moved his hand from the kitchen to the man in front of him. He had unconsciously ignored Zhi Yang's presence because of Hei Anjing's aura. But now that he is looking at him he could perceive that Zhi Yang is no ordinary person at all. He couldn't see through his race and the aura of his soul is a lot stronger than his.
"Y-You… You are not… From the Managerial Society aren't you?" asked Fa Yue in shock.
Zhi Yang didn't answer right away and enjoyed the cup of coffee in his hands.
Silence~ It took a while before Zhi Yang responded to Fa Yue's question. After taking a few sips of his coffee, he wasn't even in a hurry to give an answer.
"I am here to serve and protect, Lord Hei. Nothing more and nothing less," said Zhi Yang. "No need to report to the Heavenly Laws or your King. They already knew of our existence."
Fa Yue was panicked by what he heard. Just this is enough to tell him that Zhi Yang is indeed an individual that does not have any connection with the Abyssal World yet has control over this world.
Zhi Yang continues to say, "There is no need for you to think much. We do not plan on destroying or permanently harming anything in this world. Lord Hei just wanted to have fun with his husband. As for who his husband is… You would now in the future."
"Husband?"
"Yes, they've been married for a few lifetimes."
The fallen had shut his mouth and silently thought of things deeply. His mind is in chaos and there was no one there to clarify things with.
Thoughts of Fa Yue, 'Since this man says that the king already knew I should check it with King Yan after I finished my duties here. No wonder the Heavenly Laws tasked me to just check and not eliminate the source of the sudden tremor in Diyu. He had longed already to know the existence of these people. Better not to get involved.'
The two had waited patiently in the living room for Hei Anjing to be done with cooking in the kitchen.
—
Inside the kitchen.
Hei Anjing was happily humming as he cooks all the favorites that his husband loves to eat. He had after all promised to cook him a full course meal the next time they met. After packing the small feast in that large layer of luxurious bento boxes. He waves his hand and places it within a space that stops time to keep it fresh and warm until he brings it out once again.
After finishing and cleaning up everything, Hei Anjing was thinking of leaving the kitchen to see the guest. He had left Zhi Yang to accompany the guest while he was not around. He heads to the living after cleansing himself up with a talisman.
Hei Anjing murmured, "The meals should be enough. I should put some desserts in the fridge as well."
He heads to the refrigerator and opens the double door revealing various kinds of sweets and desserts of all kinds. There are eclairs, donuts, cupcakes, chocolates, cake, and more. He took out a few strawberry shortcakes and tiramisu cakes for him and his husband, then once again hid them in the space to keep them in perfect condition.
"That should be enough~"
After completing his preparations, Hei Anjing went to the living room and met the guest. He was wearing loose white long sleeves that revealed his collar bones and thin neck. The black and red fire-like imprint on his white skin made him look even fairer and alluring.
Hei Anjing said as he arrived, "Did you wait too long~" his phoenix-shaped eyes squinted as he smiled with slyness. He looks so seductive and no one could deny his divine beauty at all.
To the eyes of Fa Yue who is from a race that is prominent with the skill of seduction, Hei Anjing's exquisite appearance rendered him dumbfounded. The Demons and fallen love gorgeous things and people the most. He felt his heart leap inside his chest upon seeing Hei Anjing.
THUMP!
THUMP!
THUMP!
The cup he was holding fell as he stared at Hei Anjing with a love-struck gaze. For a former angel, he is one to love divinity, and as a fallen angel, he learns to love beauty. For Hei Anjing who is an embodiment of beauty and divinity, he is Fa Yue's ideal type. Someone who is elegant yet cruel. He had fallen at first sight upon seeing Hei Anjing for the first time.
Fa Yue placed the cup on the table and kneeled like a knight in front of Hei Anjing.
In the end, he acted instinctively as a demon pretending to be a noble suitor, "Gorgeous, It is my pleasure to meet you. I am Fa Yue. You can call me Yue'er or A'Yue. I'm at your service," said Fa Yue. He held his right hand and was about to kiss it when Hei Anjing shook his hand away and with a dark face he slapped him directly on his face and the latter flew away.
SLAPPED!
System Yang's thoughts outspoken, "Lunatic!"
Zhi Yang and Hei Anjing did not expect this one from the fallen race to react like this. Though Hei Anjing is used to people liking him one-sidedly, no one really dared to confess and act openly like that at him as this Fallen had just done.
"Daring! Who are you to touch this lord? Hmp!" said Hei Anjing his disgust flashes from within his eyes as he look down on the stupid demon he just slapped.
Hei Anjing's eyes turned cold and his smile faded. Zhi Yang had helped his master pour some alcohol into his hand to disinfect the hand Fa Yue had held just now. Zhi Yang keeps giving Fa Yue a helpless expression and pitiful gaze.
But Fa Yue didn't get disheartened and instead his eyes glow even brighter. It seems this fallen had some masochistic tendencies, especially for extreme beauty like Hei Anjing. He instantly crawls towards Hei Anjing like a dog wanting to hug his thighs.
But before he could even approach Hei Anjing, Zhi Yang had stomped on Fa Yue's back and directly pinned him on the ground but as if a crazed fan he kept waving his hands towards him.
"My dear queen~ please give this slave your humble name~ Ah! Let me go. I want to serve my queen!" said Fa Yue.
Zhi Yang said, "This mental! Is Lord Hei someone you can touch! I will beat you up!"
System Yang did as he said and truly beat the perverted black angel half dead but for some reason, this pervert was smiling even more as he got beaten up. His serious yey careful demeanor from before is completely gone.
Fa Yue while curling under the kicks of Zhi Yang his face was full of purple patches and bumps but he had an ecstatic grin on his lips.
Murmuring, "Ah~ more… This is great. You are great. It is better if it is the queen who was stomping on me~," said Fa Yue.
Hei Anjing did as wished but didn't stomp on him and instead kicked him out of the house even destroying the ice wall in progress.
"AHHH~ THIS IS NICE~ More~"
Hei Anjing's face remained cold while Zhi Yang had long covered his forehead in embarrassment and bad mood. He never would expect that the guest he had personally let inside the home happens to be a masochist pervert who wants to be beaten up by his master.
Zhi Yang said, "Master, I'm sorry. I didn't expect that… To end like that.
"It's fine. Leave him. I can exercise myself by beating him up on the way. Did you get the stamps?" said Hei Anjing.
Zhi Yang pulled a small box with an arranged 18 stamps inside from his back. He had taken this. Secretly when he was stomping and beating up Fa Yue just now.
Hei Anjing said, "That's also good. Leave that maniac there and get the dogs. Do you know where my husband is?"
"Master, I've checked. Lord Ye is currently at the 18th layer. He might be sleeping as he did not react lately. According to Yue'er he hadn't woken up yet. Must be because Lord Ye's soul is starting to dominate the vessel." said Zhi Yang.
SNAP!
Hei Anjing snapped his fingers and the ice mountain melted while all other furniture was recalled in his storage tool. The two divine beasts, Snowy and Blacky, approached them. They instantly lowered their heads in the presence of Hei Anjing, letting him pat their heads.
Snowy stooped down for a moment and knew his master wanted to ride on his back. Zhi Yang on the other hand had ridden on the back of Blacky.
Zhi Yang glances at the unconscious pervert, Fa Yue, buried in snow.
"Master, what should we do with that?"
"Leave it. Someone would pick that up later. Point the way to the 11th layer. We need to reach the 18th layer to see my man." replied Hei Anjing as he urged Snowy to run off.
Zhi Yang gave Fa Yue a cold glance before patting on Blacky to follow their master. The two of them really left Fa Yue fainted in the snow.
A few hours later, the two demon followers finally found their lord. Except for his butt pointing in the sky, most of his body was buried under the snow. By the time Fa Yue had woken up, he started sneezing while trembling in frostiness. He wasn't cold-proof after all if not because he is quite a strong demon from the fallen race he would have longed to turn into an ice statue in the middle of the Icy Hell.
Achoo~ achoo!!!
Sniff!
"Eh? W-where is… M-my d-dearest… queen? Achoo!" asked Fa Yue as he looks around
His two demon followers were looking at their lord bewildered, not understanding his words.
"My lord, what are you talking about? There was no one here when we arrived?"
"That's right, lord. You were all alone here."
With a frown and dangling snot from his snow, he looks a bit confused as if he had just woken up from his dream. For an extreme beauty like Hei Anjing, no one would believe he existed unless one saw him personally.
Fa Yue mumbled, "Did I dream about it? Impossible!"
"My lord, have you finished your business? Our task has been completed."
"Have you met Player Hei? Lord?"
Suddenly Fa Yue passed all the pockets on him and felt that his stamp collection was gone. Once Player Hei was again mentioned, he realized that he was not dreaming and truly met the person of his dreams.
"Hahahah~ he is real! My queen is real!!!" Exclaimed Fa Yue while laughing so happily.. While his servants were looking at him as if he had lost his mind and had gone completely crazy because of the cold.
