Number One Ugly Husband

12. I Remember It

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

“They all say that you have no superpower at all.” Covering Bao Ye’s face with a white handkerchief, Dongling Ce pushed him away, “But what I saw is that not only you own the superpower, but also that is even stronger than your big brother, which is enough to enter the Middle World.”

“The Middle World…” His words reminded Bao Ye about his slain buddies.

He lived in the Middle World in the past since he was a semi-god. When his foster father passed away, the top god in Top World felt so pity about him that the god assigned him the position of an advanced official in the Ministry of Gods Affairs for the sake that he owned half pure blood of pure god.

 

Built twenty-five years ago, the Ministry was in charge of the special cases in the Middle and Lower World, and possessed extremely high position in these two worlds. Although the officials in the ministry were all semi-gods, even those leaders in the Middle and Lower World should give face to them, even the normal gods in the Top World dared not to fall foul with them due to the status of the ministry. Thus, the ministry had become the semi-gods’ ideal workplace, and the competition of getting enrolled into the ministry was heated all the time.

However, all these were superficial.

Bao Ye suddenly clenched his fists. The cracking sound of the friction between bones was like making a complaint for him.

He had thought the Ministry a perfect place to work in and the semi-gods’ best destination, but now he knew that he was totally and ridiculously wrong.

The top gods built the Ministry filled with semi-gods only to absorb the superpower of them. The top gods needed more power to promote themselves, but the whole world was in desperate shortage of spiritual power. Hence they put up with a cruel plan: promoting the semi-gods power first, then killing them and absorbing their power.

This was the reason why Bao Ye’s buddies and subordinates were slain by the top gods.

At the time, he was out of the ministry for a special mission.

The top gods suddenly assembled all semi-gods who were at the ministry to join an urgent confidential meeting, which was strictly forbidden to be told to anyone. But his loyal subordinate stealthily told him about it. Curious about the meeting, Bao Ye asked him to open the Stone of mystery light secretly.

The Stone of Mystery Light was like a camera, which delivered the scene and voices of the meeting. After Bao Ye entered the Ministry, he told some trustworthy guys to embed the stone in their semi-gods marks, thus nobody would notice its presence.

Bao Ye never thought this confidential meeting turned out to be a massacre.

When the semi-gods were all gathered, the top gods immediately opened the formation to trap all of them, then extracted and absorbed their power to improve their own to their hearts’ content like enjoying delicacies.

While the semi-gods were suffering extreme pain. They fell down on the floor, twisting and screaming, some were even dried by the power extraction.

The screaming of his subordinates reddened Bao Ye’s eyes. He could hardly believe what he saw, and the “mercy” top gods would have such a ruthless side.

His first thought was to go back and save them, but his subordinates stopped him. After all, they were not the rival of the top gods, going back meant death.

After that, to conceal their own crime, the top gods announced that all the dead semi-gods were killed during the mission, and the Top World granted them the title of gods. Then a new round of massive enrollment started.

Bao Ye watched his buddies and subordinates’ die like that, the rage burned in his heart, but due to the power disparity, he could hardly win. Thus he came up with the idea of time traveling back to change the history.

Feeling his unusual behavior, Dongling Ce removed the white handkerchief on his face quickly, only to see that he was glaring at the sky with reddened eyes.

“You…”

Bao Ye pulled his sight back to him and spoke with a low and hoarse voice, “I remember it…”

Dongling Ce was curious, “Remember what?”

But Bao Ye didn’t answer his question. Hearing the sound of flushing water from the bathroom, he walked in and stopped before the door of the bathroom, and then watched into the bathroom with his X-ray vision.

Jin Lingrui was standing there with his back against him, the water poured down from the sprayer-head, passing through his head and strong body, which made a seductive scene.

But Bao Ye’s eyes were even redder with blood of hatred.

No wonder why he thought this name so familiar when he heard Lao Liu and other slaves talking about him. The creator of the Ministry of God Affairs was called Jin Lingrui.

If there was not him who built that bullshit ministry, his buddies would all survive. Thus, if he killed Jin Lingrui now, his buddies’ fate may be changed totally.

As Bao Ye was concentrating his superpower towards the bathroom, suddenly, he was caught by a hand. The hand pulled him out of Jin’s room and took him to the river bank where nobody stayed.

Dongling Ce narrowed his eyes, “You want to kill your big brother?”

This man was so weird. He behaved normal before, but the next second he suddenly tried to kill Jin Lingrui.

On hearing those words “Kill your big brother”, Bao Ye’s heart was squeezed heavily, which recalled his consciousness back.

When he recalled the bloody scene how his buddies got slain, he could never stay calm and be rational. But when he chilled out, he realized that this Jin Lingrui might not the Ministry’s creator. They may share the same name or same pronunciation of different names. All in all, he had never seen the creator by himself, he just overheard the name through the chatting of those gods.

Bao Ye exhaled a long breath. Thanks to this psychopath, otherwise he might have killed an innocent person.

Now there was one more reason for him to stay: to find out the creator of the Ministry and kill him/her. Thus the future would be totally changed, and he did not need to time travel back before the slaughter and face a crowd of top gods by himself alone.

 

Bao Ye thoroughly restored his calmness now. He said nothing and just walked away before Dongling Ce. He went to the dormitory of top slaves in the East District, stole the mat and quilt of others and returned to the slave hut.

Since he had decided to stay here for a long time, he should sleep on a softer bed with a clean quilt.

After making the bed and covering it with camouflage spell, Bao Ye lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

While on the other side, since Dongling Ce saw that Bao Ye wouldn’t kill his big brother, he returned to Jin Lingrui’s room. He hid himself with the invisibility arts, stood at the bathroom door, and watched his red string bracelet.

At that moment, the door opened. Jin Lingrui walked out rubbing his wet hair. Like he noticed that someone was standing at the door staring at him, he turned around suddenly, stared sharply at the direction where Dongling Ce was standing.

But he saw nobody. His eyes patrolled the room. The layout was simple and clear, leaving no space for anyone to hide. He still felt the sight following him. But he deemed the sight as free from bad intentions, he turned around and walked to his bedroom.

Standing at the door of Jing Lingrui’s bedroom, Dongling Ce watched his bracelet radiating a pink glow. “It should be right this time.”

He stayed there for a moment, and left after confirming the glow of the bracelet did not dim for quite a while.
