Chapter 1718: 23.37 Second Grey Star - Day before the Competition.
With the explosion on the road flashing in the news this morning, almost all the children had run to the master's bedroom to look for their parents. Well, it was mostly Ye Qinjing wanting to check, Ye Jingxia wanting to see his parents who finished their usual evening exercise, and the twins wanting to play. An Zhe and Yun Luan, who are staying over, came too. The former joined the fun, and the latter had no choice after getting dragged by the group.
Knock. Knock.
Before the third knock is done, the door is pushed open by Ye Jingxia, with the twins running inside as they always do. The couple had enough fun last night after they got home. They completely forgot about the explosion and Lei Jun, who was imprisoned in the small house on their land.
"Dad! Father! It's morning! Breakfast is ready~," shouted Ye Jingxia, which was obviously intentional.
"Daddy! Papa!" The princess shouted as she ran and finally jumped on the bed.
The others followed inside with the rest. However, as if the couple knew that the children would attack them in the morning, Ye Xiajie had woken up ahead of time, cleaned up the room, and taken a bath with his wife. Except for the obvious hickeys on their necks, they look normal as usual. Seeing this, An Zhe and Ye Jingxia clicked their tongues as they failed to get to see what they wanted to see.
Tsk!
"They know us too well."
Bonk!
Ye Qinjing hit the back of these two who wanted to see something private between the couple and scolded them, "Just what do you guys want to see so early in the morning! Manners."
"Sorry," the two troublemakers apologized.
Yun Luan, on the other hand, was stunned. Unlike An Zhe, who used to live abroad, this is the first time he has seen a same-sex couple. Finally, realizing what An Zhe and Ye Jingxia wanted to see, his expressionless face turned a bit pinkish. Ye Qinjing and the rest noticed it and chuckled. It's been a while since they met someone with a pure mindset. At the very least, Yun Luan isn't like An Zhe, who is exposed to such intimate things.
An Zhe felt like teasing him and whispered, "Is my Luan'er a virgin?" What he received was a knuckle punch from the angry and embarrassed young man.
Ouch!
The other looked at him with a sneering smile. Their expressions were saying, 'You deserve that! '.
An Zhe , knowing that he overdid it, chased after Yun Luan, who had run away, while shouting, "Luan'er, I'm just joking. I'm sorry! Don't get angry!"
After the pair left, Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie carried the twins while pushing their other two sons out of the room.
"You brat! How can you even bring your grandpas over?" said Hei Anjing while pinching his second son's ears.
Ye Jingxia, with his ears pinched, said, "Owie~ I just want their relationship to progress. Obviously, Grandpa Hunluan is slow when it comes to feelings. It's better to open up his knowledge with same-sex love~"
"I think you only want to play tricks like your grandfather An," said Ye Xiajie.
Ye Qinjing asked, "Dad, were there fireworks during your date last night?"
"Yes, it was quite beautiful, but the aftermath was done well; no need to worry," said Hei Anjing to their eldest son, who was asking about the explosion that was reported on the morning news just now.
Seeing that his parents didn't seem to need his help, they all went down to join An Zhe and Yun Luan for breakfast before going to the private ice rink to continue their training for the city tournament for ice figure skating. There is only a month left for them to train. That night, before going to sleep, Ye Xiajie and Hei Anjing went to the warehouse to check on Lei Jun. However, when they got to the place, the child was already dead. There is only a pile of meat paste left of him. When they checked on the surveillance, they saw Lei Jun dazed for a moment and then start laughing like a madman. He suddenly blew up like a balloon and exploded, leaving only a pile of meat paste.
Seeing this surveillance made Hei Anjing so sure that Hunluan's soul fragment must have awakened his soul, and he is not willing to merge with the original. Or else why would he hide himself and use clones to control the plot of this world?
Hei Anjing's expression was serious after seeing the surveillance video.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Ye Xiajie asked.
Hei Anjing sighed and said, "If this continues, we might have to wake up the original soul of Hunluan. I don't dare to fight against his soul fragment because he knows me too well. He knows I can't harm him." I can't harm a family member.
"Don't worry. We can do it. But first, we need to upgrade this world, or it will be broken when an ancient god like him wakes up," said Ye Xiajie. He knew that the energy of an ancient god is purer than that of ordinary gods. Unless they wanted a global mutation to happen, it's better to be prepared.
Hei Anjing mumbles, "Killing him is impossible, but protecting the original is not a problem."

During the next day's training…
An Zhe and Yun Luan had mostly remembered the sequences that were played by them and replicated them. After practicing multiple times, a certain persona for each of them can be seen. One is a perfectionist, and the other is a beast who followed through on his instinct. Both characteristics fit Yun Luan and An Zhe well. After the long training, on the last day before they had to head to the city for the competition, the children requested the Black King and the White King for a dance as a pair.
Hei Anjing asked, "You want us to show you a sequence as a pair?"
"Yes, Dad. It's been a while since you and Father danced on ice during the training as you focused on us individually," said Ye Jingxia.
Ye Xiajie said, "There isn't a pair among you, so there is actually no need to watch a sequence between pairs."
"It's been a while. We just want to see Dad and Father's sequence before the tournament," Ye Qinjing said.
An Zhe, who knew that Yun Luan was interested in a sequence done as a pair, glanced at the one beside him and saw that he was anticipating the same thing. It can be said that the Black and White Kings are his favorite athletes. It was his desire to dance freely without any fear of death in this stage of ice.
He said, "Please show us a sequence. Just think of it as a way to reward us for our hard work and completion of training."
Hei Anjing asked Yun Luan, "What do you think, Luan'er?"
"I also want to see the coach dance as a pair," answered Yun Luan.
Hei Anjing said, "Alright, then let us change clothes. You guys wanted to see a serious dance, right?"
"Yes!"
The couple contacted the old butler to bring them the spare costume in the mansion for figure skating. The motif of the clothes is still black and white with a black and white angel design. Just seeing Hei Anjing wear a pure white fitting costume with glittering designs, plus his noble look. He looked like an archangel ruling all angels under his cold yet stern gaze.
On the other hand, Ye Xiajie is wearing a black, fitting costume that has a few thin pieces that show his abs and back. Looking like a seductive demon who wanted to drag the high angel down to hell with him. Even though he looked cold at the moment, they knew this image would be gone once the dance started.
Seeing this, the children all brought out a few drones and placed a lot of cameras around the ice stage. Once the two kings enter the ice rink, their dance shall begin. A fantasy-sounding music was played in the area; it was both holy and sinister, making it feel thrilling at the same time. The opening dance shows how the proud archangel met the devil for the first time. At this moment, Hei Anjing's temperament is unapproachable, cold, and ascetic, while Ye Xiajie is showing an evil yet alluring smirk at the corner of his lips, looking at the archangel as if he had found his prey.
This opening dance was mostly Hei Anjing avoiding the gestures of approach from Ye Xiajie, yet he couldn't move his gaze away from him. On the other hand, Ye Xiajie was chasing him fiercely, appearing from the front, then rejected, holding his hand from the side, but was avoided, and sneaking from the back, holding the waist of the archangel, yet was ignored. The dance was both seductive and full of balance, rejection, and acceptance.
The children at the side couldn't help but be amazed. This is only the opening dance; however, it vividly portrays their first meeting, the approach and rejection, and then finally helplessness. They can see the hidden attraction between the two men who are supposed to be from conflicting factions. One was born in the light, and the other was born in the darkness.
