道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B4)

I'll Be Honest That's Some Weak and Unreliable Shred of Hope That You've Got

"...My main reason for calling you here is because I have two requests to make to you."

Without raising her head to look towards Ye Gui Feng the mother butterfly speaks.

"And they are?"

"I want you to send my eldest daughter off into reincarnation so that she may truly become a human in the future. I do not wish for her to continue to stay this way."

"How?"

"Is such a matter that difficult for the Prince of the Fourth Hell?"

The mentioning of this title causes Ye Gui Feng to widen his eyes.

"There is little need to be so surprised. We demon butterflies are lifeforms of the underworld after all."

This reason does indeed make sense but Ye Gui Feng felt like the mother butterfly knew more about him than what she might lead him to believe.

"I still don't have full control over reincarnation."

"Reincarnation is something that comes after death. Prior to death life must happen. Between life and death is reincarnation so to speak. To obtain control of reincarnation one must first control life and death. But you have touched upon a trace of reincarnation very recently."

"...So they really are..."

Recalling Yao Zhen Tian and Nie Yin Ye Gui Feng felt a series of complex emotions about all of this. In their future incarnations those two had been Xie Mo Xin and Wei Hailan.

"..."

Despite how complex all of this is it is actually so very simple when Ye Gui Feng pieces together the clues.

In the past Ye Gui Feng had been told by his master that he had seen the images of Yao Zhen Tian on a battlefield, the same battlefield that he had seen.

Through some strange method Xie Mo Xin had seen himself in his previous life and because the Yao family of the future had been deeply connected to the root of all demons some kind of karma had been created when Ye Gui Feng had been taken as his disciple.

Placing a hand to his chest Ye Gui Feng constricts his eyes. That messy knot that had been untied in his heart recently most likely means that that karma had been resolved as the final piece of the intricate puzzle had been put into place to create a perfect flowing cycle.

"I helped those two become a couple in one incarnation and I helped them again in another incarnation. That had been me paying my dues to them for their help."

A sense of clarity fills Ye Gui Feng's head as he ponders about how everything had moved and lead up to this point in time.

"..."

Looking thoughtful at her eldest daughter the mother butterfly waves a hand causing a new cocoon to wrap up the body of the Lady Butterfly of the Night before raising her head and looking towards Ye Gui Feng who had finished his reminiscence.

"You should have an object that will allow you to gain insight on the Authorities of life and death."

"..."

It took Ye Gui Feng a bit of time to realize what the mother butterfly had been referring to and upon realizing what it is he makes a strange expression.

"What's the other request that you wanted to make?"

"Kill Yue Xiao Yao."

The name of another Exalted Celestial who had been in the same league as Long Feng Zi.

Connecting the story about a certain fool named Shen Fu Zi to this request Ye Gui Feng frowns.

"...The creation of your bloodline was it for that purpose?"

"..."

Towards this question the mother butterfly ponders. At some point that may very well have been the case for her in the creation of her children. But due to the limitations that hold the practitioners of this world back she realized that it was a futile action.

Making it back to the Primordial Continent would have been impossible for the mother butterfly in her weakened state. Even if she did what good could she do against an Exalted Celestial?

"At some point in time that might have really been my thoughts behind their creation. But at this point I merely wish for them to live. I suppose calling you here today is my last shred of hope."

"I'll be honest that's some weak and unreliable shred of hope that you've got. In fact if I was this Yue Xiao Yao I would probably be laughing. You do know that with my current strength I am nothing but an ant in front of an Exalted Celestial right?"

Towards these words the mother butterfly does indeed find some truth to what Ye Gui Feng is saying as she laughs lightly.

"In time you will be strong enough to kill them so long as you do not fall."

Waving a hand the mother butterfly causes a jade slip to appear in the air and sends it to Ye Gui Feng who raises a hand and catches it.

"Huángquán Sān Niàn (黄泉三念 Translation: Three Wills of the Yellow Springs), this was that fool's cultivation method that lead him to obtain his Authorities of life, death, and reincarnation. It should support you in the creation of yours as well."

Accepting this meant that he is agreeing to the two requests of the mother butterfly which makes it so that Ye Gui Feng didn't feel like it is anything to get excited about.

Holding the jade slip in his hand Ye Gui Feng suddenly felt like it weights a lot more than it should with the amount of responsibilities that he would be forced to shoulder upon accepting it.

"*Sigh* there are no immortals within the mortal world. I suppose this means that even Exalted Celestials can be killed."

Eventually raising a sigh Ye Gui Feng clenches the jade slip and stores it away as an indication of him accepting the mother butterfly's two requests.

With a satisfied smile the mother butterfly pushes the cocoon to Ye Gui Feng to which he also stores away.

"Will that be all?"

Towards this question the mother butterfly nods and the giant butterfly along with this dark world vanishes.

"..."

Suddenly finding himself standing inside of the small cabin that he had walked into in the very beginning Ye Gui Feng looks around. At the center of this cabin there is only an opened cauldron with three incense sticks burning.

Clasping his hands together Ye Gui Feng gives a bow towards the cauldron before turning around and leaving.

"..."

Upon walking out of the cabin and closing the door Ye Gui Feng finds that the grand matriarch had already left as a light shower of rain falls from above.

Just as Ye Gui Feng is about to take a step forward however-

*Wuuuuuuuuuuu!!!* a howl of pain fills the skies and looking towards the direction that it had come from Ye Gui Feng can't help but twitch.

"...Did he... Really get castrated?"

Recalling that white wolf Ye Gui Feng looks in the directions of the misty valley for a few seconds before shaking his head with a sigh.

"Ai if one doesn't have the skills to manage a harem then they shouldn't think of making one in the first place. People like that deserve to get castrated."

Ye Gui Feng felt like having a single wife in life would already be more than enough to drive a man busy so he really didn't understand the lifestyle of a mortal emperor who has a flower garden.
