starchild escapes arranged marriage
Chapter 5: Frightening Girlfriends
There were countless of stars revolving in front of Yun Xi.
A dream, yes, it must be a dream!
Yun Xi was unable to imagine how crazy one would be to have four girlfriends at such a level!
Unfortunately, no matter how much you hide, what is to come will come.
Mei’er clearly didn’t understand Yun Xi’s current state. Thus, she was brimming with enthusiasm to tell Yun Xi more of the truth that he did not wish to know about.
“Master is not human, rather, master is a special child of the stars.”
“At every death, master will be reborn of the stars again, just like now.”
“Master has doubted his past, right?”
“Actually, master has no parents.” (TL: she really knows how to read the mood....)
Yun Xi blankly stared, if this was a dream, it was all too much of a coincidence.
How would this golden-eared star spirit know such secrets?
Wait. If so, could the rumours he always heard be true?
“I don’t have parents?” He was unable to accept this; Is it because what you think is what you dream?
His parents obviously doted on him a lot, considering him as the world’s greatest treasure.
“That’s right, master has no parents because you were born from the sea of stars.”
“Everytime you die, you will be reborn in some corner of the star sea soon after. Afterwards, when you are 18 years old, you will automatically get your memories back, your past.” Mei’er did not know why Yun Xi was so shocked, it was just a simple fact.
“I... am not father and mother’s child...” Yun Xi was somewhat absent-minded.
In fact, he had already figured it out earlier, but he just didn’t want to admit it.
According to his age, 16 years ago, his mother was already 50 years old. At her age, being pregnant was impossible.
But, he pretended not to know, as mother and father never brought it up.
He subconsciously evaded to face the truth he didn’t want to accept.
Yes... according to common sense, mother being at 50 years of age could not have been pregnant.
“Starchild... refers to me...” Yun Xi lifted up his head to see the surrounding sun, moon, and stars – the countless starlight.
That was the truth of the world, the blessing of the sea of stars towards him.
“In that case, why am I here? Why are you here?” After experiencing great difficulty in accepting his identity, an even bigger puzzle began to arise in Yun Xi’s mind.
Just now, did he hear muttering from among the stars?
If it was like Mei’er said, he was supposed to awaken at 18. But, it was still 2 years till he has the ability to awaken.
Danger... from where?
“After master died the last time, I was entrusted to the stars.”
“Originally, it should have been at the age of 18 that master would come around, but because master is about to encounter a dangerous threat, the awakening happened earlier.”
“Of course, the other reason is because master chose Mei’er. Thank you, master. I will do my best to make you rapidly stronger.”
Mei’er was brimming with confidence, as she puffed out her little chest with a loveable expression as if she was saying “Leave it all to me”.
Mortal danger, Yun Xi has heard that more than once and didn’t have a good premonition about it.
“Who is a mortal danger to me? I have not even died once.” Yun Xi had a hunch, that once he found the answer, his life would be completely different.
Even the stars issued an early warning and sent over the three spirits. What kind of crisis would make even the stars hurry so much... Ah!
“Master, your enemies are many, but the important thing is that you have just seen four. Has master heard of their God names?”
Oh my goodness, the name of God! Yun Xi had a crazy hunch.
“The first overlord is the master of star dragons, of the god domain of giant dragons. Known as the dragon of order and the mother of space and time. She was the Supreme Dragon Goddess, the symbol of birth, life, and death.”
“The second overlord didn’t have a name. She was the goddess of chaos and the symbol of the source of pain, living in the deepest part of the abyss – the World of Ghosts.”
“The third overlord was the great-old one of chaos, she was the indescribable terror, the avatar of old chaos, and the master of the sea of hell.”
“The fourth overlord was the master of endless domains, the owner of the market of gods and demons, the creator, and the god above gods.”
“Although there were a lot of inconveniences, the four spared nothing to chase and kill you.”
Yun Xi felt like that perhaps he would die easier this time?
The Supreme Dragon God, the God of Chaos, the God of Old, and the God above Gods.
His four ex-girlfriends, who were so terrifying and powerful enough to annihilate the stars and reverse time.
Ok, Yun Xi once heard about two of them.
She was the God above Gods, the supreme master of the entire western god domains. She was master of hundreds of billions of god domains. The absolute and unique master of the western god domains.
As for the Supreme Dragon God, he knew she was the king of the north dragon god domains. The power of dragons was so strong, that even the people in such a remote eastern region – The White Lotus Sword Domain – had also heard about them.
As for the other two overlords, Yun Xi had never heard of them. However, since they could be compared with the Supreme Dragon God and the God above Gods, they should also be at the same level.
Just now, the spirit Mei’er told him that four overlords went to kill him at the same time... what a joke!
“This... is not a joke, right?”
“The son of the stars, what kind of crime was committed to have provoked the four overlords to kill me?” Even though he is bathing within the star’s radiance, Yun Xi still couldn’t fully remember, it was like a white piece of blank paper.
So, he didn’t know what he did to have angered the four overlords to kill him
“This... Mei’er also doesn’t know.” Mei’er looked at Yun Xi with eyes of innocence, letting Yun Xi see the answer:
“It seemed that in the past, master refused to marry them and caused them to be angry.”
“In other words, they are master’s ex-girlfriends.”
“So, they are out to kill you. Every time they find a trace of your presence, they will not let you escape.”
“What!” Yun Xi’s shout made the stars tremble twice.
To refuse their marriage proposal... just because of that!
How crazy and daring was his past self, to have provoked four overlords?!
It was like the old saying, “You wouldn’t die if you didn’t do the wrong thing!”
Yun Xi finally knew why the stars came to warn him so early.
His four ex-girlfriends, if any one of them found him, it would spell no escape for him.
No wonder the stars woke him up two years ahead of time... if he was caught, he would absolutely die!
