This Crayfish Is Not Edible - Chapter 230

All of a sudden, the Grey wolf’s bones cracked.

“What is going one?” Felia shouted.

Long Ki laughed. “He is changing…he is changing back,”

Slowly but surely, Raijin’s human form was returning. His fluffy tail retracted to form a small spine. His snout snapped back into his nose and mouth and all his hair. It just disappeared.

Raijin stood naked, blinking at them. “Im back?” he glanced down at his hands again. Felia in his arms glanced up and softly kissed his cheeks. “Yes, you are…you are back! Oh, I was so worried. Raijin, I won’t leave you ever again, I promise.” She cried, hugging him tightly.

“ow,” he softly groaned.

“What is wrong?” Felia pulled him farther and peered at him. His stomach was badly wounded and was bleeding profusely. “Oh my god, what to do? You need medicine. I will bring you medicine,” she shouted frantically.

Raijin stopped her and pulled her closer. “Don’t bother, it will heal in a while,” he mumbled, breathing in her scent. But something was missing. It was as if her scent was disappearing. With a frown, he softly nuzzled against her neck, rubbing his scent on her. “I dint think I would survive,” he whispered.

It felt surreal. He had lost his consciousness and to wake up human again. ‘The last I remember, I saw my master!’ he glanced around frantically. An equally naked Long Ki stood in front with tears running down his cheeks.

“Master?”

“Raijin!!!” Long Ki cried and rushed over to him with his hands outstretched.

All of a sudden, Felia stood up and pushed him away. “You pervert. Are you trying to molest my puppy? Wear something, you idiot,” she shouted with a gold face. She frantically pulled her outer coat and tied it around Raijin’s waist. “No one is allowed to see you naked. Especially not that pervert,” she declared with a glare.

Raijin swiftly cupped her eye and pulled her back to his chest. “Yes master, she is right. Please wear some clothes. There is an unmarried woman in front of you,” he said with a wooden look on his face.

Long Ki’s eyelid twitched. “Raijin! I’m hurt,” he whispered softly and wiped his tears. “You also hate me now. I’m so hurt,” he cried and ran over to the ghoul. He dramatically leaned on his shoulders and cried loudly.

The ghoul froze. He tried shrugging his shoulders, but the nudist was sticking to him like glue. He warily glanced at Long Aotian. ‘Master, help me! I’m being violated!’ he expressed with his eyes.

Sensing his emotions, Long Aotian sighed. He walked over to them and pulled his silly brother by his shoulders. He draped a coat over him and tied another on his hips, hiding his dangling bits. “Why are you acting like a child, Long Ki, have some decency,” he whispered with a disappointed look.

Long Kit eared up even more. “Even you are cussing me. I want to go home. Only my wifey won’t scold me,” he dejectedly said.

Long Aotian rolled his eyes and glanced at Felia. “You, how did you get here? Wasn’t Xia supposed to be with you?”

Felia pulled her head away from Raijin’s chest and peered at him confusedly. “He left before us. He was supposed to be here,” she glanced around worriedly. All she saw was multiple golden robed men collapsed on the ground. Some were groaning in pain and some were completely knocked out. “Where is he by the way?” she mumbled softly.

Long Aotian formed. “What do you mean, ‘where is he?’ He is supposed to be here, but I don’t see him anywhere. Tell me what happened when you guys left the palace,”

“I was trapped in my room by those despicable men. Xia and my brother came to my rescue. After which we left the palace because Xia was too worried about abbot you. He dropped us in a safe spot and rushed over here.” Felia narrated with a worried look. Her eyes roamed all over, but she could not see the stunningly gold clothed figure anywhere.

“Where is your brother?” Aotian vigilantly whispered.

“He is in a safe spot. After Xia left us, we were attacked by some bloody disloyal crooks. I took care of them and hid my brother in a safe palace,” Felia recounted.

Long Aotian frowned even more. He rushed around trying to find traces of his lover. “Xia! Xia, where are you, love? Xia baby!” he shouted aloud.

But there was no answer to his calls.

Watching his actions, Long Ki frowned as well. “Who is Xia?” he whispered to the ghoul next to him.

“He is highnesses Lover,” he said without any expression.

Long Ki’s head snapped his way. “He has a LOVER!! How did this happen?”

“Long back. I don’t know how long,” the ghoul whispered with a small smile.

Long Ki whistled out loud. “Wow, did not expect my stoic brother will have a lover. Do you know when he was young he always had this sour look on his face. Even if you pinch him or bite him, he will not express anything. He had no expressions. Now…he looks like he is more animated than before. I guess he really is in love with that girl,” he said, holding his left hand carefully.

“Its love that transcends time,” the ghoul added softly. He did not bother correcting the gender of Master Xia because it took a lot of effort to talk with his jaw. It was almost on the verge of falling. ‘I need to get it crafted again!’ by chance he glanced at Long Ki blue hands. “What is wrong with your hands? It’s blue,” he whispered with a frown.

“Oh, this….my blood circulation is being cut off. Mostly I will lose my hand in a day or so,” he whispered casually. In fact, he had already gotten used to the idea of losing his hand. Long Ki carefully glanced at the ring on his finger. “I’m ready to lose it,”

The ghoul nodded, but all of a sudden he gripped his hands tightly and pulled it close to his face. “You have the ancient dragon ring!!!”

“Yeah, it was my ancestor’s ring. My mum put it on me and my fiancé’s fingers. This bloody thing can’t even be removed,” he sadly said, caressing the golden jewel on it.

“But it can be removed,” The ghoul shouted out loud.

“Huh?”

“Yes, it can be removed. All you have to do is drip a drop of your blood and whispered your lover’s name. If that person loves you truly it will unlock itself,”

With eyes wide, Long Ki glanced at him then at the ring. ‘Is this guy telling the truth? How does his know about my secret ancestral ring? Only royal members know about this.’

“Who did you say you were?” he cautiously whispered.

“Oh me, I’m Pan mu, a loyal servant of his highness Long Aotian,” he bowed respectfully.

“My brother’s servant? But I’ve never seen you in heaven,” Long KI whispered doubtfully.

The ghoul sighed. “Young master, I know you don’t believe me. But try what my method. That way you won’t lose your arm,” he said and walked over to Long Aotian to assist his search.

Standing still, Long Ki thoughtfully glanced at his ring. ‘Will it work? It’s worth a try,’ taking a deep breath he dripped his blood on it and whispered, “I love Yukiya,”

The gold jewel on the ring glowed slightly and snapped in half. It slipped from his finger and fell to the ground.

Stunned, Long Ki peered at it, then at his hands. The blue had receded and his hands were completely normal again. “I’m free. Yeaaa, I’m free,” he shouted in glee. He lovingly picked up the ring and carefully stored it in his space ring. This was their engagement ring after all, he did not want to lose it.

He dashed over to the ghoul and held him by his shoulders. “Thank you, how….how did you know of this?” he whispered.

Long Aotian, who was by his side, glanced at him with an impatient look. “Because he is a ten thousand years old ghoul,” he said swiftly and pulled the ghoul from his hands. He then proceeded to run thought all the alley ways and started searching for Xia along with him. At first he was casually searching, but after a while a weird fear originated in his heart. With a heavy heart, he started searching thoroughly.

“Xia is not anywhere nearby. There is not even a scent left on him,” he said worriedly gazing at his brother.

Felia from the side rushed over to him and held her hand out. “He was wearing some perfume for his performance. I hugged Xia there might be some scent left on me.”

Aotian sniffed her hands, but there was actually no scent on it. “There is no scent on you. Why?”

“What?” Felia sniffed her own hand. “There is no scent!”

Long Ki also helped sniff her, but there was no residue of scent on her. Even Raijin’s scent was erased.

“Something is wrong. You said he was wearing a weird perfume, right? Someone might have tampered with it.” Long Aotian anxiously bit his nails.

“Calm down, we will find him soon,” Long Ki patted his trembling shoulders softly.

While they were frantically searching for Xia, there was another crisis in Yukiya’s side.

“No, this can’t be. It can’t happen,” Yukiya carefully held the broken ring in her trembling palm.

Just two minutes ago she was swimming around with her little egg when all of a sudden her ring snapped off of her fingers.

Long Ki had long told him a story about his ancestors. The ring was their symbol of love. It can only be broken when one of the partners was dead.

“This can’t be.. Ki can’t be dead!” she shook her head in disbelief.
