Seeing that Jasmine was in deep thought, Yun Che suggested: "How about I call his intent? It should still be able to talk. If he wants to come back to life, I'll resurrect him."
"... Alright." After a small pause, Jasmine nodded.
Yun Che looked back at the ring and sent his divine intent inside, causing it to react instantly. It started to shine in golden light before small golden particles left it and a projection of a young man appeared out of it.
"Hm?" The young man looked confused, looking around himself before his eyes landed on Jasmine and Caizhi.
"Tong'er, Caizhi…"
"Brother…"
Jasmine and Caizhi's eyes instantly turned red, covered in a layer of tears.
The young man looked towards Caizhi and sighed.
"It seems that you did inherit the legacy of Heavenly Wolf…" He looked angrily as he tightened his hands into a fist. "I had thought that after my death, that man would give up. But it seems that I was wrong."
"Brother, what do you mean?" Jasmine looked confused.
Xizu remained silent for a while before he asked.
"Do you know about the forbidden ceremony to make a True God?"
Jasmine nodded.
It was one of the reasons why she ran away from her home Star Realm, in search of strength. And also the reason why she returned home, in fear that Caizhi might be used as her replacement.
If she hadn't met Yun Che, she would have sacrificed herself if that meant saving Caizhi.
But due to the existence of Yun Che, she didn't have to fear that any longer.
Remembering it, Jasmine looked towards Yun Che with a loving warm gaze. If not for him, she might have been waiting to be sacrificed.
"Then, do you know it requires more than one Star God to be sacrificed?"
"What?"
Jasmine looked stunned.
"That's right. If it required only a single blood relative, that man would have completed the ceremony by now. The reason why he couldn't do it was because among his children, only I inherited the legacy of a Star God. But since the ceremony required a blood relative Star God, that man simply couldn't finish it with just me."
Xizu explained with anger.
"That was one of the reasons why I left Star God Realm. I had thought that if I left home, that man would give up sooner or later. But then you inherited the legacy of the Heavenly Slaughter God, fulfilling the requirement of two blood relatives. With that, I had no other choice but to kill myself. With me dead, he won't be able to complete the ceremony once again. But it seems that heaven didn't want to let us go, and Caizhi inherited the legacy of the Heavenly Wolf. Now that you both have become Star Gods, I'm afraid…"
Jasmine and Caizhi's eyes widened.
All this time, they had thought that their brother was killed because of Qianye Ying'er. That's why the sisters hated her to the bone.
If Xizu killed himself, didn't that mean Qianye Ying'er was simply innocent?
No, Jasmine nor Caizhi believed that.
The word innocent didn't suit Qianye Ying'er.
"Interesting… A ceremony to make True Gods? How laughable. If it was that easy, there would have been True Gods roaming the God Realm today."
"You… Goddess Ying'er?" Xizu looked towards the speaker and his eyes widened before a smile appeared on his face. "You are still as beautiful as always."
"Stop it." A disgusted expression appeared on Ying'er's face hearing Xizu's praise. "A dead man is no use to me. I don't need your flattery."
Jasmine and Caizhi glared towards Ying'er while Xizu chuckled.
"You haven't changed a bit."
"You are wrong, I have changed, a lot in fact."
"Oh?" Xizu looked at her with interest, wondering what change she was talking about.
"You see, I have become a married woman now."
"...What?" Xizu looked at the smirking Ying'er with a dumbfounded expression.
Married woman? Qianye Ying'er, one of the most feared women of the God Realm, the man hater, became a married woman?
Xizu wondered if he was hearing things, because he could not imagine Qianye Ying'er ever being married.
The concept alone sounded absurd in his mind.
"Yun Che, you married her before me?" Jasmine glared toward Yun Che, who made an innocent expression.
'I am just a bystander, why are you pointing guns at me? This woman… She really knows how to flame a situation. It was supposed to be a happy family reunion, not an interrogation of innocent pure me!'
"Why are you surprised, Princess Tong? Isn't it normal that he would want to marry the most beautiful woman of the Primal Chaos first rather than you, who only knows how to kill? Men don't like violent women, more so when they said violent women rather kill to solve the problem than to use her brains."
'Well, killing to solve the problem does sound like an easy way out…'
Jasmine gritted her teeth, and her glare intensified.
"Ahem. She is lying. Of course, I will marry my little master first."
Jasmine narrowed her eyes.
"Is that true?"
"Hundred percent."
"Heh." Jasmine smirked and looked toward Qianye Ying'er, who narrowed her eyes in displeasure.
"Humph."
"You are…" Xizu looked toward Yun Che with unhidden interest.
"Hello, I'm Yun Che. It's nice to meet you, brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law… you say?"
Xizu's eyes widened before he looked toward Jasmine, whose face was slightly red due to embarrassment.
A look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
He looked toward Ying'er and then back at Yun Che, a look of amazement appeared over his face.
"You must be talented beyond heaven to be able to make not only Tong'er, but even Goddess Ying'er fall in love with you."
"Hm?" Yun Che raised a brow. "You aren't jealous?"
"Why would I be?"
"Well… you know… she was your crush, and she is your sister…"
Xizu chuckled and shook his head.
"I'm dead already. Seeing Tong'er like this, I can at least be assured that she is happy with you. If she is happy, I will never get between her happiness. As for Goddess Ying'er… She didn't choose me; it's as simple as that. I'm a dead man. It would be highly shameful for me to hold a grudge against you for something like that."
"Hmmm." Yun Che pursed his lips and stared at Xizu.
His expression of Xizu improved a lot.
He thought he wasn't a bad dude.
He sounded like a good pal to have by your side.
"But, if there is something, then I indeed have a request for you." Xizu looked toward Yun Che with genuine feelings before he bowed. "Since Goddess Ying'er chose you, you must not be a normal man. So I ask you to protect my sisters. I know it's shameful of me to ask such a request even though I am dead and cannot repay you with anything, but I still—"
"No, it's alright." Yun Che cut him off and smiled. "Your sisters as payment are more than enough."
"Yun Che!"
"Ahem, I'm joking Jasmine. Of course, you are my lover. I would never let anything happen to you."
Jasmine narrowed her eyes.
"For some reason, this princess has a hard time believing you."
"How could?! I would never ask for a woman as compensation!"
Yun Che replied with an utmost serious expression.
"Unless that woman is beautiful beyond words and someone that makes me feel tingly—"
He jumped away from his position as another crimson beam flashed past him.
What can he say? He was an honest man.
