Chapter 155 - 153. What?! II

Third person POV

After a moment of silence, Hong er spoke with her cheerful voice.

Hong er: "Let's talk inside, Meiyun, Huayun, follow inside."

The Yun sisters: "Ye-yes, Your Majesty Empress."

Xue Lang's mouth was wide open as he was still in shock. Meiyun nudged his shoulder from his behind and mouthed.

Meiyun: "Greeting."

She glanced to Weisheng. Xue Lang quickly bowed to Weisheng after realizing his mistake.

Xue Lang: "Gre-greetings to Your Majesty Emperor."

Weisheng: "Hm."

Weisheng coldly hummed and turned around to take a seat in a round table. Hong er sat in front of Weisheng and Xue Lang between them. Xue Lang was trembling under Weisheng's intense gaze, it didn't have any killing intention in his gaze but the pressure was oppressing Xue Lang's gut to its tiniest.

Hong er patted Weisheng's hand reassured him.

Hong er: "Sheng ge, I have reasons for this. Could you please hear me out?"

Weisheng: "En."

Then Hong er held Xue Lang's hand to calm him down.

Hong er: "Don't be afraid, His Majesty Emperor isn't angry or anything. This is just his usual expression. And maybe my words might hurt your feelings a little bit but I don't want to hide anything from you, my dear."

Xue Lang innocently stared at Hong er and nodded his head.

Hong er: "Now, I will get straight to the point. Sheng ge, you are aware of the case don't you?"

Weisheng: "En."

Hong er: "Xue Lang is one of the victims. He didn't have home to go back to and didn't have any relatives which will be easier for us to adopt him. But that is not my only reason. Of course everyone know about his rare hair and eye color right?"

Everyone including Xue Lang nodded their head.

Hong er: "It seems like there is something more than that."

Weisheng: "What is it?"

Hong er: "I suspected that Xue Lang is immune to any spell without him even realizing."

Xue Lang was surprised by his hidden skill.

Weisheng: "Why did you say so?"

Hong er: "When I asked him about his origin, I found out that he could breakthrough a magic barrier."

Weisheng: "Can we test it out?"

Hong er turned her head to Xue Lang and asked with a guilty face.

Hong er: "Do you mind if we test a few things on you?"

Xue Lang: "I-I don't mind. The pleasure would be mine if I can be any use to everybody."

Weisheng unnoticeably nodded his head in agreement to what Xue Lang said. Hong er brought Xue Lang to the middle of the room and everyone took a few step away from Xue Lang.

Hong er: "If you hear a finger snapping sound, walk towards the source of the sound. Do you understand?"

Xue Lang: "Yes."

Even though Xue Lang didn't quite get what they were going to do to him, he focused on what Hong er said to him and his face turned serious.

Hong er whispered a few words to Weisheng and the Yun sisters and they circled Xue Lang as she ordered. They hid their hand behind their back and each of them casted an invisible magic barrier around Xue Lang. And now there were 4 layers of magic barriers that supposedly locked Xue Lang inside.

Then a finger snapping sound could be heard. Xue Lang tuned his body around and walked towards the indifferent Huayun. All of their eyes widened seeing Xue Lang leisurely walked through their barriers.

Even the indifferent Weisheng was impressed by Xue Lang. He whispered a few words to Hong er and Hong er nodded her head.

Hong er: "Xue Lang, let's move on to the next test."

They purposely didn't tell Xue Lang what they did to him. Xue Lang went to Hong er's side and listened to her instruction carefully.

Hong er: "This time you will stand here and listen to their conversation. Then you have to tell me the content of their conversation, ok?"

Xue Lang: "En."

The Yun sisters turned around and their back was facing them. They casted a soundproof barrier around them and started to talk. Xue Lang looked fixedly on them as his ears caught every words they said. Then the Yun sisters turned around after they finished with their talk.

All of their attention was on Xue Lang.

Xue Lang: "Meiyun Jiejie was talking about how beautiful is Her Majesty Empress and Huayun Jiejie said that she agreed with Meiyun Jiejie."

Hong er: "Is that true?"

Hong er asked the Yun sisters and they nodded their head in astonishment. A wide smile spread out on Hong er's face, she easily lifted Xue Lang and throw him in the air.

Hong er: "My! Isn't my son so cool? Hahaha~"

She spun Xue Lang around and laughed heartily. The Yun sisters clapped their hand like a seal while Weisheng internally smiling.

Xue Lang: 'Wha-what is happening?'

Seeing his confused face, Hong er chuckled and explained to him.

Hong er: "We have tested and you truly are immune to spells."

Xue Lang: "But I haven't started the test yet."

Hong er: "No, you have passed all of tests. The first test is we casted 4 layers of magic barrier that prevents one to escape from the barrier but you just walked through it like nothing."

Xue Lang: "Bu-but there is nothing."

Hong er: "Hohoho~ That is our invention. The magic barrier you saw in your village is visible right?"

Xue Lang: "En."

Hong er: "We found a way to make the magic barrier invisible so the enemy won't notice that they were caught by us. You got it?"

Xue Lang: "Oohh~ Uhm!"

Xue Lang nodded enthusiastically.

Hong er: " And the second test is you could hear their conversation even with a soundproof barrier around them."

Xue Lang: "Eh?! Your Majesty Emperor and Empress couldn't hear them?"

Hong er: "Nope!"

Xue Lang: "Even though Your Majesties are so strong?"

Hong er: "Yup!"

Xue Lang's face was filled with disbelief. He could do something that even the strongest human couldn't do? Isn't that amazing?

Then Hong er turned to Weisheng and spoke in a firm voice.

Hong re: "As Sheng ge can see, he is a really special existence. I purposely adopt him as our son so no one dares to touch him and uses him for their own purpose."

Weisheng: "I understand."

Weisheng took Hong er's hand and gently rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb.

Hong er: "Xue Lang."

Hong er called his name gently.

Hong er: "We do this not because we want to use your skill. It is because we want to protect you from those bad guys. I know the fear in your heart, I understand it. Being terrorized every second of our life because of our special power, I hate those times.

Therefore, right here and right now. I want to ask your opinion. If you want to follow us and become my son, we will welcome you with open hand and protect you with all cost. But if you desire to live freely, we can't hold you but we will still protect you from afar.

What do you think?"

Hong er took his hand with her other empty hand and smiled tenderly. Xue Lang looked up to them and almost cried. Hong er's smile and Weisheng's gentle eyes but intimidating expression made him feels like he has a family.

Why would he reject Hong er's offer when he can get a full set of loving family and a home to go back to. He smiled joyfully with crystal clear tears in the corner of his eyes.

Xue Lang: "Imperial father, Imperial mother, please take care of me from now on."

Weisheng: "En."

Hong er: "Of course, my dear."
