I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot-Chapter 415 - 9.34 Second Blue Star - Runaway Lou Lan
After Feng Houye sent his descendants away he was forced to stay in the Lou Clan as Ye Gui's source of life force. He couldn't decline as that monster put something in his soul which prevented him from leaving this land. Moreover, every time he asks for help his mouth would be shut to prevent him from speaking another word. He can only continue to live as Ye Gui's food until some other gods get interested in the things in the mortal realm.
Thankfully, he had told his friend about his move of descending to the human world and promised him to be back in a month. He only needs to bear this for one month. But what he didn't know is that Ye Gui is not going to allow him to leave this place alive. Once he had stolen his Godhead, he would immediately kill him.
The Feng Clan left the Lou Mansion without them knowing what happened to their ancestor. After returning home, the tricked Feng Hou did as he was told to. He used his name and position as the Heir of the Feng Clan to ask the police to put Lou Lan's photos as wanted.
Of course, he knew that Lou Lan was not an ordinary person, that's why he also posted a mission in the Metaphysics Society with a reward of 10 Million if knew where he was. Once captured and surrendered to the Feng Clan the reward would be 50 million. Feng Hou is obviously doing this because he thought it would make Xue Hua happy.
Little did he know that the Lou Clan was only making use of his Feng family. Sly foxes like his grandfather and father noticed the plan of Lou Ming by trying to use their Clan's power and influence to catch a convict but they didn't say a thing as they knew that once Lou Lan was captured. They could use him first to exchange with the possesser of the golden soul before informing the other clans.
Each clan was scheming with each other, they used one another to reach their own goals. They didn't know that the Ghost King had never been obsessed with Lou Lan as his bride. With the soul in Xie Mo replaced by Ye Xiajie and Xue Hua being the vessel of Hei Anjing, there is no way in hell he would give him up for another. They were just wasting their time scheming useless things.

Somewhere in the back alleys within the city.
Lou Lan was shocked to see his picture all over the city, even in a small convenience store there are wanted photos of him everywhere. He can only use illusion spells whenever he gets out. But what he didn't expect is that even the hidden society that focused on metaphysics and made of people called Celestial Masters had all taken the mission with him as a target.
Late at night when he was about to buy some dinner in a convenience store near his newly rented apartment a few Celestial Masters tried to capture him. Though he had successfully escaped he almost lost an arm just to end those guys.
He might not be as powerful as Xue Yan but when it comes to cursing he is still quite powerful. Though he had to sacrifice an arm it is still worth it just to save his life.
Lou Lan is now in his small hidden apartment within the city. It wasn't that luxurious compared to his life in the Lou clan. The apartment is more like just a single room with an attached bathroom. The room size is only enough for his bed and there is only a few meters away from the bathroom itself.
Since Lou Lan ran away from home, he didn't take the card his family had given to him. He could only sell a few of his things and pawn a few accessories he has but it wasn't enough for him to buy a house or a condo. Not only he couldn't find a way to apply for a job as a former spoiled young master, but he also doesn't know what to do with anything. Now that he is even a wanted person he could no longer show his face anywhere at all.
His life becomes so miserable and blames everything on his half-siblings, Xue Hua and Xue Yan. He hated him so much. Treating his wounded arm in the dark, his eyes were full of hatred and malice.
Lou Lan murmured, "My life shouldn't be like this. I'm supposed to be the Ghost King's bride, not that substitute! That man is mine. That expensive car, that luxurious life, and that affectionate love. All of it! Those are mine. Xue Hua stole it from me. As long as the Ghost King saw me. He would definitely choose me over that slut!"
Lou Lan since he became wanted had to sneak into school before the sun rises. He wanted to see what life Xue Hua has. After seeing him happy even though he and his elder brother got disowned by the clan, Lou Lan could not understand why he is still carefree like before.
It was only until he saw the photo of Xue Yan in the newspaper for completing a case and won it completely that he had realized that this person is by that slut's side. Xue Yan is also his elder brother though only half of their blood is the same, he is still connected to him no matter what.
Lou Lan was never interested in this elder brother of his. After he and Xue Hua left the clan, his focus was mostly on Xue Hua. They went to the same school. He never expected that silent elder brother of theirs to be so smart to become one of the most powerful lawyers within the city.
Seeing Xue Yan wearing a customized suit that is priced a hundred times more expensive than his small apartment, Lou Lan finally found a breakthrough in how to survive in his current predicament. At this moment he remembered this elder brother of his again.
When the morning arrives the next day...
Xue Yan would always come to his office for work. This is a personal office he bought for him and Ou Ya who works as lawyers. This is where they've received their clients. They've just returned from the court after finalizing the results of the last case.
Ou Ya's tired voice can be heard even beyond the door of the office.
"Ah~ that's so tiring~ didn't we already win the case!? Can't they at least clean up the aftermath? What is even wrong with putting trash in his place? They were all afraid just because the one behind that rapist is a wealthy family!" complains Ou Ya.
Xue Yan is as silent as ever and Ou Ya is already used to speaking alone during their conservations. To continue to talk as if his words were endless.
Ou Ya, "By the way, Xiao Ye knew about the marriage of Huahua."
Xue Yan paused for a moment and didn't directly open the door. He turned around and spoke.
"What did he say?" he asked.
The three of them knew ever since they were children. But Xue Yan had only helped them to make sure that his and Lord Hei's disowning wouldn't cause too many prying eyes.
Nethergod Lord An and his wife, Hei Jue, had asked him to look after Lord Hei. They only wanted him to hide Lord Hei while he still hasn't completely awakened in this world. But living as Xue Hua means they would have to follow the plot and thus he pulled Ou Ya and Lou Ye with them when they took their leave.
According to the world plot he received from his own system. Lou Ye and Ou Ya were supporting characters to make this world plot move. He took them away to destroy the whole plot and at the same time hide with them so Lord God Ye and the rest cannot find them so easily. But who would think that an unawakened Lord Hei would fall to the traps of the plot and still meet the ghost king?
Though he had already guessed that the vessel, the Lord God of Nether might either be the Villain which is the ghost king, or the protagonist going himself, which is Feng Hou. Xue Yan also knows that the Villain cannot leave the Ancient Palace unless he gets married which is why Lord Hei's vessel Xue Hua who is destined to be the substitute bride was hidden by him. He even changes their names to Xue from Lou.
But unfortunately, the world plot can never be broken by him alone. He doesn't have the authority and freedom that Lord Hei has. In the end, they still got involved and the latter was caught.
Ou Ya and Lou Ye these two former tragic characters were now completely detached from the plot as their path of life had diverted completely. Though they still hate Lou Lan, for a person who runs away from the Clan after killing his clan elders, his life is miserable as it is. He was sure that one is going to scheme against Lord Hei and will end up dead as a result.
Lou Ye is a person of few words. This was also the cause of his downfall in the original plot. When Lou Lan had schemed him over, he had no way to tell his side as he didn't know the right way to speak forward and made sure to let the audience lean to his side. This is why he ended up dead in the original plot.
But the current Ou Ya and Lou Ye are different. Though they don't get along after leaving the clan and only have each other, they get closer. With Ou Ya being a blabbermouth Lou Ye finally got used to normal conversation and these two got along too well.
It was just that Lou Ye was closer to Xue Hua than the two of them. After all, within that devious clan, only this Xue Hua treated Lou Ye as a person. He admires and treats Xue Hua as his real brother. So when he became the Young Master of his sect the first thing he did was to put him and Xue Hua under his protection. It was also because of this that the Lou Clan was reluctant to completely fall out with him.
Lou Ye is after all the Young Lord of his Sect. His authority is only third after the Clan Leader and the Clan Elders.
Ou Ya answered Xue Yan's question about Lou Ye's reaction. "Don't worry he is fine. He just wondered why he didn't get invited to Huahua's marriage. I've also explained why and he said he understands that's all. He actually wanted to meet you both."
"I will ask when? I will call you once they've agreed," said Xue Yan.
Ou Ya smiled in a good mood, "Sure~ we'll wait for it~" then he noticed Xue Yan suddenly halted when he was about to open the door. Seeing the sudden change of expression on his friend he knew that something was up again.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Xue Yan replied, "We have an uninvited guest. Someone that is not welcomed. Get some protective items ready especially against curses."
Hearing this Ou Ya's face turned unfriendly and disdainful as he already guessed who was the person inside their office.
"Heh~ he even broke through our office. I can call the guards now right?" said Ou Ya.
Xue Yan frowned, "I think he killed the guards. Let's inform the police to come over. I will buy them some time."
Behind him, Ou Ya had already pulled out his phone and called for the police as he was asked to.
