Chapter 40 – Sword’s Spirit

       In the pitch-black abandoned building, Xiang Wenxi walked slowly forward. There was a window ahead, and light was seeping in from outside. He ran a few steps in that direction, and suddenly, a massive black wolf appeared at the window, swiftly leaping inside.

       “Ling Xiao!” Xiang Wenxi quickly ran in the direction of the black wolf.

       The black wolf landed on the ground and took several steps forward.

       Xiang Wenxi found that he was injured. The fur on his front legs was split, and blood was dripping down.

       “Are you injured?” Xiang Wenxi asked.

       The black wolf transformed into a human, covered one of his arms, and said, “That old demon, I haven’t seen it for hundreds of years, yet he is getting more and more scary.”

       Xiang Wenxi stepped forward, stretched out his hand to support him, and asked anxiously, “Does that mean we can’t go back to the bar?”

       Ling Xiao did not answer him but asked, “Where is Chunjun?”

       “That idiot ran away by himself,” Xiang Wenxi said, “Anyway, there’s no way out of this building. I–” Before he could finish his words, he suddenly paused.

       Ling Xiao looked at him, “What?”

       Xiang Wenxi hesitated for a moment and said, “He broke away from my illusion. It shouldn’t be. This whole building is controlled by my illusion.”

       Ling Xiao said coldly, “Where is he now?”

       Xiang Wenxi shook his head, “I don’t know, but he probably didn’t leave this building.”

       “Go find him,” Ling Xiao said.

       Xiang Wenxi grabbed Ling Xiao’s arm, “How can you be sure that he must be Chunjun? What part of him looks like ChunJun?”

       Ling Xiao said, “If that wasn’t the case, why do you think I was injured like this by Demon Zhen? Chunjun has been with Demon Zhen for thousands of years. If he wasn’t it, I really can’t figure out who else he could be.”

       Xiang Wenxi let out a ‘hmph’ sound, “Then, let’s split up. One goes up; the other goes down. We’ll search floor by floor.”

       When they separated, Xiang Wenxi muttered again, “So what if we find him? Chunjun is not yours anyway.”

       Ling Xiao gave him a cold look and said nothing.

       At this time, Song Jun was running forward aimlessly. He still remembered the face of the middle-aged man he saw just now, with the corners of his mouth grinning upward in a strange arc and repeating those words, “It’s so dark. How did you find your way up? Aren’t you afraid?”

       He was really scared and couldn’t think carefully at all. He turned around and ran back. He wanted to find Xiang Wenxi. He didn’t want to stay in this haunted place alone.

       When he first started running, he heard footsteps chasing him from behind. The middle-aged man’s flashlight waved vigorously and shouted to him, “It’s so dark. Aren’t you afraid?”

       Song Jun’s scalp was tingling; he had no idea which direction he was running or what the surroundings around him were like. Gradually, both the beam of his flashlight and the sound of footsteps disappeared. All that remained was darkness and deadly silence.

       All he could hear was his own heavy breathing and messy footsteps.

       No matter how big this shopping mall was, he should have reached the wall after running such a long distance, but he never encountered any obstacles. Maybe he was not running straight at all but running in a weird arc, avoiding all walls.

       Song Jun stopped. He just felt scared and wanted to leave this place.

       After he stopped, his breathing slowly recovered, and the surroundings became dead silent again. At this time, he heard a sound, which sounded like something dragging on the ground.

       The sound was far away at first, then gradually got closer.

       Have you seen The Grudge1Ju-On movie? When the female ghost inside was crawling on the ground, her clothes rubbed against the floor, making such a sound. Song Jun had pathetically seen it too, and in the darkness, he couldn’t stop himself from imagining things.

       He felt like he should hide, but he didn’t know where to go. He struggled to discern the direction of the sound in the darkness and then moved in the opposite direction. He didn’t even dare to run, as if the moment he did, that thing would swiftly catch up to him.

       He walked forward slowly, not too far away, when he suddenly felt that he had hit something.

       That looked like a person.

       At this moment, a light suddenly lit up in front of him. It was the light of a flashlight. The middle-aged man shined the flashlight in the sky and said, “I found you. Why are you running around? It’s so dark. Aren’t you afraid?”

       Song Jun screamed and pushed him away with all his strength. When he ran forward, he missed his footing, and he rolled forward and fell.

       It turned out that there was an elevator in the shopping mall in front of him. The middle-aged man blocked it, and he couldn’t see anything. He rushed over, stepped on the elevator, and fell down.

       Song Jun rolled all the way to the bottom of the elevator, landing in a dishevelled state. At that moment, he almost lost consciousness. He struggled to crawl a few steps forward and saw someone standing in front of him. He instantly trembled with fear.

       But he didn’t expect that man to squat down in front of him and call him, “Chunjun.”

       Who is Chunjun? Song Jun had no idea what he was talking about. His head was throbbing, and as he reached to touch it, he felt a sticky sensation on his hand. Soon after, he lost consciousness.

       When he woke up again, Song Jun found himself lying on a soft big bed, with a small lamp on the bedside, emitting soft light. The surroundings were warm and comfortable, which made him want to go back to sleep again.

       Until he heard two people talking.

       Xiang Wenxi said, “If Demon Zhen knew that Chunjun was injured like this, he would definitely not let me go.”

       Ling Xiao’s voice was still cold, “Don’t you know that the building is unclean?”

       Xiang Wenxi was a little unhappy, “How do I know? You asked me to take him to escape. Did you give me time to think about it carefully? How do I know where to escape?”

       Ling Xiao said nothing.

       Xiang Wenxi asked curiously, “I heard that when Ou Yezi2Ou Yezi was a legendary master of sword-making in the Spring and Autumn period. According to Yuejueshu, he forged five treasured swords for Gan Jiang and King Zhao of Chu, named, respectively, Zhanlu, Juque, Shengxie, Yuchang and Chunjun. cast Chunjun, he sacrificed the human soul of the most vicious person in the world as the sword’s spirit. Later, although Chunjun was sealed due to its overwhelming murderous intent, Chunjun’s spirit shouldn’t be like Song Jun, right?”

       After a moment of silence, Ling Xiao said to Xiang Wenxi, “I don’t know either.”

       Xiang Wenxi said, “Could it be that you are all mistaken?”

       Ling Xiao didn’t speak this time.

       But even if they made a mistake, Demon Zhen shouldn’t have made a mistake, right?

       Chunjun? Song Jun had listened to them talking about this name all night, and now he understood that they were probably talking about himself and Demon Zhen. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but he couldn’t recall it for a while.

       He tried to think hard, but his mind went blank, and he could not recall any memory of these two names.

       Song Jun sat up and realised that he had a severe headache at this time. He reached out and touched his forehead and found that there was a circle of gauze wrapped around his forehead. He remembered that he was in an abandoned shopping mall and rolled off the closed elevator. When he fell down, his head must have been injured at that time.

       He wanted to get out of bed, but the sound alerted Xiang Wenxi and Ling Xiao, who walked in from outside.

       Xiang Wenxi said, “Are you awake?”

       Song Jun raised his hands to cover his head and asked, “Where is this?”

       Ling Xiao said, “My home.”

       Song Jun looked around and then asked, “Can I go back to campus?”

       Ling Xiao did not answer him, but Xiang Wenxi said, “You’re here now, so don’t even think about leaving!”

       Song Jun was stunned by what he said.

       Xiang Wenxi said, “ChunJun is much more precious than Thousand Years Lamp.”

       Song Jun said, “I really don’t know what you are talking about. I am not Chunjun.”

       Ling Xiao looked at him and suddenly walked towards him, standing in front of him with his arms folded, “We have met before, do you still remember me?”

       Song Jun raised his head to look at Ling Xiao carefully and shook his head, “I’ve never seen you before.”

       Ling Xiao was silent for a moment and then asked, “Demon Zhen—”

       “Xia Hongshen,” Xiang Wenxi interrupted him and changed his name to something Song Jun could understand.

       “Senior Brother Xia? What about him?” Song Jun asked.

       “Do you remember him?” Xiang Wenxi asked.

       Song Jun looked at them strangely, “Of course I remember. He is my senior brother.”

       Xiang Wenxi stomped on the edge of the bed, “Cut the crap. I’m asking if you have any impression of him in the past?”

       Song Jun hesitated for a while but still shook his head, “I only met him after I came to school. I didn’t know him before.” He knew that Xiang Wenxi was a fox demon, so this Ling Xiao must not be an ordinary person, so he continued, “I know he seems to be a deity in the sky, looking for Thousand Years Lamp. If he finds it, he will go back.”

       The reason why Song Jun deliberately revealed Xia Hongshen’s identity was because he hoped to use Xia Hongshen’s identity to scare them.

       Xiang Wenxi heard what Song Jun said and saw that his expression didn’t seem to be deliberately faking, so he turned to look at Ling Xiao strangely.

       Ling Xiao also had a complicated expression and didn’t know what he was thinking.

       Gilded phoenix wings[/mfn]Fengliu, Feng Junyuan[/mfn], Dragon Tip Whip3Longshao, Long Xing, and Crescent Moon Bell4Yueya, Xi Anling, these were all treasures that Demon Zhen had around him. In the past, before Demon Zhen became immortal, he travelled around the mountains and rivers of the mainland, searching for divine artefacts and treasures.

       Different from Chunjun, these three weapons did not have weapon spirits when Demon Zhen first obtained them. Instead, he personally found human souls in the world that were compatible with the weapons, opened the refining furnace, and used the human souls to refine the weapons again.

       In the past, Demon Zhen was the most powerful demonic beast that threatened the three realms. Born with the creation of the world, it was immortal and resembled a black panther with fangs feeding on the souls of ghosts.

       The previous owner of the Chunjun was a general. He once held the Chunjun in his hand and killed countless enemies on the battlefield. Chunjun was stained red with blood and could not be washed away for a while. Before the general died, he sealed Chunjun with his own hands just because Chunjun’s murderous aura was too much, and he felt that he could not control it.

       After that, the person who lifted the seal for Chunjun and took out Chunjun was Demon Zhen in human form.

       Demon Zhen did not kill people. He just liked to collect divine weapons and artefacts. Chunjun was the first weapon that stayed with him. Later, when Demon Zhen obtained Gilded Phoenix Wings, Dragon Tip Whip and Crescent Moon Bell, he captured human beings for sacrifice, and Chunjun was also with them.

       How could such Chunjun have no memory of Demon Zhen?

       Ling Xiao couldn’t help but start to doubt.

Chapter 21 – Master

       Zhuo Yue, tormented by fear for so long, was now near collapse. He leaned quietly against Fang Mingyan’s shoulder with half-closed eyes, like a beautiful and obedient doll. Fang Mingyan carried him into the bathroom and placed him on a specially arranged chair. After removing his shirt, he gently stroked his cheek and asked, “Can you stand up?”

       Zhuo Yue stood up with some difficulty. Fang Mingyan held his waist and unfastened his belt with one hand. After taking off his outer pants, he stiffly held down the other person’s hand that touched the underwear. Their gazes overlapped, and there was an obvious warning in the man’s dark eyes. He lowered his head, awkwardly dropped his hands to his side, and said softly, “I’m not used to it…”

       “Start getting used to it from now on.” Fang Mingyan’s hand hooked the edge of the underwear along the waistline and pulled it down little by little.

       The slowed-down movement was clearly intentional. Zhuo Yue’s face felt hot, and his body moved back unconsciously. At this time, the man tightened the other arm around him and put a slight force on his hand on his lower back, forcing this shy body to get closer to him.

       “From the moment the contract is signed, you no longer belong to yourself.” Fang Mingyan’s timbre was as low as the wind that swept across the sea. “Your body, your actions, all your attention and emotions belong to me. Bringing me joy is your only purpose for existence, and obeying my orders is the only thing you need to do.”

       “You said that this kind of game…should be voluntary.” Zhuo Yue said awkwardly.

       “You just voluntarily agreed to the master-slave contract I proposed.” The man let go and let his underwear, which had reached his thighs, fall to the ground and then turned on the shower head.

       Being tied up and tortured in that way can be considered voluntary consent?

       There was a powerless bitter smile on Zhuo Yue’s lips. Dense water droplets poured down like heavy rain, moistening Zhuo Yue’s hair and body, and the fine water droplets stuck to the slightly drooping eyelashes. His voice was barely audible over the sound of water, “Aren’t you afraid… that I will sue you?”

       “That’s for when you can get out of here, and as for now…” The man paused, frowned and said in a deep voice, “You must abide by my game rules. I usually don’t have much patience when it comes to teaching novices, so you’d better learn as soon as you can, otherwise I will use some special methods to help you improve your memory, like putting you back in a cage full of cameras.” He looked at the terrified Zhuo Yue and continued, “The first thing that needs to be adjusted is how you address me. You will always call me ‘Master’ and use honorifics when you are not specifically asked to do so. In the presence of a third person, I allow you to call me ‘Sir’. When I call your name, it signifies that I grant you an equal status. Do you understand?”

       Zhuo Yue tightened his lip lines and nodded in embarrassment.

       There was a coolness in Fang Mingyan’s gaze, and he looked at him without making a sound.

       Zhuo Yue was stunned by the sight; his face flushed, and he whispered, “Understood…” and then moved his lips but made no sound.

       “Can’t bring yourself to say it, huh?” The man suddenly grabbed his arm and pressed him against the bathroom wall. Before Zhuo Yue could react, that hand had already grasped the delicate shaft between his legs. Zhuo Yue gasped unexpectedly. In terms of strength, he was completely at a disadvantage. He was imprisoned between the wall and the body by the other party. His back was pressed against the cold and wet tiles. His body could not help but shrink, and he uttered a cry of mercy, “Don’t…”

       Such terminology obviously does not comply with Fang Mingyan’s language standards. He narrowed his eyes slightly, closed his palms, and used his strength punitively.

       “Ah──” Zhuo Yue trembled in pain and instinctively wanted to push him away, but the prospect of a more painful punishment sent shivers down his spine. The one inflicting pain upon him asserted dominance with a firm attitude, leaving him no room for refusal.

       “You can try your best to run away, resist, or not cooperate, if you are not afraid of pain.” The man said coldly.

       “Why are you doing this to me…” Zhuo Yue looked at Fang Mingyan sadly. Before he finished speaking, the strength on that hand became a little stronger, making him gasp in pain.

       “Slave, I just taught you how to talk to me.”

       There was a thin layer of mist in his eyes, and he tremblingly uttered the word that he was ashamed to say with a cry, “…Master.”

       The man released him and said, “Repeat.”

       “…Master.”

       “Repeat again.”

       “Master.” Tears welled up in his eyes, mixing with the water drops that wet him like raindrops. At this moment, Zhuo Yue had nothing; even the clothes he used to cover his body had been stripped off like a soulless doll waiting to be manipulated by the person holding the strings.

       Fang Mingyan reached out and raised his face slightly, letting him look at him. The moment the man’s hand touched his body, one could clearly feel the sudden tension in his body. This was a reaction of resistance and the reason Zhuo Yue didn’t hide was because he was afraid.

       Afraid of the room with the camera, afraid of pain, afraid of punishment, afraid of  his own self in front of the man.

       There was an inexplicable suffocation surged in the man’s heart, but his face remained calm and expressionless. “The second rule is to answer my questions truthfully. I need to understand your condition, so you are not allowed to hide anything from me. When you answer, you must look at me and make your statement as clearly as possible. Do you understand?”

       “…Understood, Master.” He said these few words in an awkward manner.

       Either obey or be punished. As a Dom, Fang Mingyan used such a cold and rough method to set rules for him, forcing him to recognise his absolute authority. This rule was deeply imprinted in Zhuo Yue’s heart, making him obediently hand over his autonomy to the other party little by little.

       “The third rule is that I have one-way sole ownership of you, and all your rights come from my giving.” Fang Mingyan’s hand gently teased the genitals between his legs, arousing his instinctive stiffness. “Everything about you belongs to me, including your body.” His fingertips caressed the top of Zhuo Yue’s genitals, causing him to tremble. “It is my freedom to decide how to use it, and you do not have the right to refuse. You are not to let anyone touch you without my permission, and you’re also not allowed to masturbate. Understood?”

       After hearing the words ‘no masturbation’, Zhuo Yue’s face suddenly turned red as he recalled the time when he was caught. He responded in a very soft voice, “…Understood, Master.”

       “Very good.” The man took off his soaked clothes, revealing his muscular body. The two of them were naked, facing each other in the thick wet hot air. Zhuo Yue’s breathing was stagnant. He didn’t know where to look and turned his eyes to one side in embarrassment.

       After the command, ‘No movement allowed’, Fang Mingyan began to give him a bath.

       This was the first time since his mother passed away that someone else had done this for him. The memories of his childhood were fuzzy, and now that another man was doing it for him, it was so awkward that he was at a loss for words.

       To his surprise, Fang Mingyan’s movements were gentle and meticulous, unlike his coldness when giving orders. There was no erotic element in touching or caressing, and his attitude was as serious as carving a precious handicraft. When rinsing his hair, he even thoughtfully covers the foam that runs down above his eyes.

       The light fragrance of the shower gel lingered in his nose, and his anxiety was washed away bit by bit by the water of just the right temperature, and his body gradually relaxed from the initial stiffness. He stood quietly with a slight blush on his face, letting the other person’s hands roam around his body, touching every part of his body. When the man’s fingers slowly slid along his spine into the crevice between his buttocks, Zhuo Yue could not help but tremble slightly.

       A secret and vulnerable part of him was unreservedly examined and touched by another man with nothing to hide.

       Along with the shame, there was also a sense of belonging, as if this body really belonged to the man in front of him.

       After washing, Fang Mingyan wiped the water off his body and gave the order.

       “Go wait outside.”

       Just outside the bathroom was the master bedroom. Although Zhuo Yue had lived here for a while, this was the first time he had entered the man’s bedroom.

       The slightly dull light grey tone was neutralised by the white fabric. The overhead lamp had a branch-like design, casting a fluorescent glow throughout the room. Zhuo Yue looked around, and his gaze settled on the standing birch wood coat rack. Two identical silk robes hung there. Feeling awkward being naked, he hesitated for a moment before picking one of them and putting it on.

       There were several photos on the side cabinet, including group photos and landscapes. In one of them, Fang Mingyan was wearing a black formal suit, holding a silver trophy in his hand, and an uninhibited smile on his handsome face. This photo was probably taken when he received the award for Asia’s Best New Director Award. His black eyes were shining with pride.

       Zhuo Yue was looking at the photo when there was a noise behind him. He put the photo down and turned around to meet the man’s cold gaze. This gaze made him very uneasy, and he stood in place at a loss for words.

       “Did I give you an order to get dressed?” Fang Mingyan put on another nightgown and asked in a cold tone.

       “Because there are two hanging items, I thought…”

       “The question I just asked was, ‘Did I give you an order to get dressed?'” The repetition made him feel even more oppressed. Zhuo Yue froze and said, “No…”

       “Take it off.”

      Zhuo Yue pursed his lips, took off his clothes, and hung them back up.

      Fang Mingyan sat down on the single sofa and said, “Face me and kneel down.”


Notes:
So, there was a note from the end of season 1 where the author said they were making some changes about the character and also some lines in the novel. It turns out that it’s the note for season 2, not season 1. I noticed there are several differences from the aggregator, and I mixed it here and there only to realise some changes were necessary because the action in the next chapter will explain it better
Just like in this chapter, Fang Mingyan is already holding a whip but then in the next chapter he was just taking a whip. I decided to erase it to avoid confusion

Chapter 16

       After Pei Qing laughed, he kept the bottle of beer and drank it.

       Zhan Weiyang held the bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other and concentrated on eating.

       Qin Yishan occasionally asked Zhan Weiyang two questions. After Zhan Weiyang answered diligently, she spent most of the time chatting with Pei Qing.

       Zhan Weiyang heard Qin Yishan ask Pei Qing, “Do you have a girlfriend?”

       Pei Qing said, “No.”

       Qin Yishan asked: “You didn’t date in college? You should be quite popular with girls, right?”

       Pei Qing said, “I haven’t met the right one.”

       Qin Yishan said with a half-smile, “So, ‘the right one’ is just a metaphysics, something you can use to reject anyone you’re not satisfied with.”

       “No,” Pei Qing said, “I haven’t met someone suitable yet. I have high spiritual requirements and pursue some illusory things. If I don’t like it, it’s not suitable. If it’s not suitable, I won’t accept it.”

       Qin Yishan folded her arms on the table, leaned her upper body slightly forward, and asked Pei Qing, “Will you exclude me from being suitable if I am older than you?”

       Pei Qing stroked the fog on the surface of the beer bottle with her fingers and said, “No, suitableness is not a range, it’s just a feeling.”

       Qin Yishan sighed with a somewhat exaggerated sigh, “Then it would be better to make a list of ranges.”

       Pei Qing smiled.

       Zhan Weiyang felt like he understood what they were talking about, but not entirely. However, he learned that Pei Qing didn’t have a girlfriend. That was quite strange. Zhan Weiyang realised he had never really thought about whether Pei Qing had a girlfriend or not. Subconsciously, he always assumed Pei Qing didn’t have one, just like Zhan Weiguang didn’t have one, and he himself didn’t have one.

       He was almost full, put down his chopsticks, stood up politely and said, “I want to go to the bathroom.”

       Pei Qing stood up to let him go and asked, “Can you find it?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked up and saw the sign for the bathroom, nodded and walked over there.

       The restroom in the restaurant was small and shared by men and women. He walked to the door and knocked on the door. After making sure that no one was inside, he reached out, turned the handle and entered, then locked the door.

       After he finished peeing and went back, Zhan Weiyang approached the table where they were sitting from behind Qin Yishan and heard her say to Pei Qing, “Your younger cousin doesn’t look like a high school student, more like a child.”

       Pei Qing heard this and said, “Yes, how cute.” After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Zhan Weiyang, waving to him, “Yangyang, come back and sit down.”

       Zhan Weiyang walked back to his seat and sat down, but he didn’t touch the chopsticks again. He was already full and was waiting for Pei Qing and the beautiful sister to ask him to leave together.

       After almost two minutes, Pei Qing noticed that Zhan Weiyang had not moved his chopsticks and asked him, “Are you full?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded, “I’m full.”

       Pei Qing said, “Wait for us a little longer.”

       Qin Yishan then said, “Since we are all full, let’s go.”

       They came out of the restaurant, and Pei Qing said that he would accompany Qin Yishan back.

       Qin Yishan refused and said, “It’s my turn to take you back. You two are still students.” She was very determined and took the initiative to take a taxi, making sure to take Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang back first.

       Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang sat in the back seat, and Qin Yishan sat alone in the passenger seat. No one spoke much on the way until the taxi stopped at the entrance of Zhan Weiyang’s neighbourhood.

       Qin Yishan got out of the car with them and said to Pei Qing, “See you tomorrow.”

       Pei Qing nodded, “Be safe on your own.”

       Qin Yishan smiled and said, “I’ll call you when I arrive later.”

       Pei Qing said, “Okay.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Take care, Yishan jie.”

       Qin Yishan said to Zhan Weiyang, “Okay, goodbye Yangyang.” She waved her hand, turned around, got into the taxi, and asked the driver to drive.

       Zhan Weiyang turned to look at Pei Qing and said, “I think this sister is very good.”

       Pei Qing laughed and said, “Really?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded.

       Pei Qing patted him on the back and said, “Let’s go back.”

       The two of them walked towards the neighbourhood. Pei Qing was half a step behind Zhan Weiyang. Looking at his back, he suddenly asked, “You didn’t bring back your schoolbags today? Are you not going to study in the evening?”

       School bag?

       Zhan Weiyang stopped in confusion. Where is his schoolbag? I’m finished! Zhan Weiyang was so panicked that he almost spun around in circles. He had forgotten about Chen Youyou. His schoolbag was still on the seat opposite Chen Youyou in the restaurant where Xie Ling worked!

       His face turned pale, even the dim light at the entrance of the residential area made everything clear. He hastily reached out to grab his phone, only to remember abruptly that he had turned it to silent during class and later absent-mindedly stuffed it into his backpack at the restaurant. It must be lying quietly inside now.

       Pei Qing asked, “What’s wrong?”

       Zhan Weiyang grabbed Pei Qing’s arm and was so anxious that he almost cried, “I forgot about Youyou.”

       “That classmate of yours?” Pei Qing asked.

       Zhan Weiyang nodded.

       “He didn’t call you?”

       “My cell phone is in my schoolbag, and it’s there with him.”

       Pei Qing asked, “Do you remember the phone number?”

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head.

       Pei Qing asked again, “Do you know where he is?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded.

       Pei Qing said, “Let’s go find him.”

       They took another taxi, and as soon as Zhan Weiyang got in the car, he hurriedly said, “Sir, we are going to Food Joy Fast Food.”

       The driver said lazily, “Where is this Food Joy Fast Food?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Jinfeng Road.”

       The driver pressed the meter and drove out, “Then give me directions when we get to Jinfeng Road.”

       Zhan Weiyang’s heart was so anxious that he clenched his hands into fists and kept banging his left and right hands against each other. He cautiously leaned over and urged the driver, “Can you go a little faster?”

       The driver said, “It’ll be quick, little buddy.”

       Zhan Weiyang then leaned back on the chair and stared straight ahead.

       Pei Qing noticed that the force of their fist bump was strong, and their joints even made a sound upon impact, which must have been painful. Unable to resist, he reached out and pressed his hand on Zhan Weiyang’s hand, saying, “Don’t worry, Chen Youyou is a high school student now, not an elementary school student.” When Pei Qing was in high school, he spent almost half of his time living alone.

       Zhan Weiyang stopped his somewhat nervous movements and said, “He’s going to be angry.”

       Pei Qing said, “When you said you were looking for a classmate, it was Chen Youyou?”

       Zhan Weiyang was stunned for a moment, then lied guiltily, “Yes.”

       Pei Qing said, “But when you saw me, you forgot about the appointment with your classmate?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Ah…”

       Pei Qing said to him, “Apologize properly later.” Actually, he was more worried that Chen Youyou had gone back, and Zhan Weiyang didn’t remember Chen Youyou’s phone number. Then they would have to make a trip to Chen Youyou’s house to make sure that he had arrived home safely.

       At that moment, Pei Qing suddenly thought: I wonder if Zhan Pengcheng has ever been tired of his life?

       The car stopped at the entrance of the Food Joy Fast Food restaurant. As Pei Qing paid the driver, Zhan Weiyang hurriedly got out of the car. He first looked into the fast food restaurant and saw that the seat they had just been sitting in was no longer occupied.

       In fact, the fast food restaurant was about to close. Although the lights were still on, there were no customers at the table, and only a few waiters were cleaning.

       Pei Qing suddenly pulled Zhan Weiyang’s arm and pointed across the street.

       Zhan Weiyang turned around and saw Chen Youyou squatting across the street and looking here. There was a schoolbag at his feet, which was Zhan Weiyang’s schoolbag.

       “Youyou!” Zhan Weiyang shouted as he ran towards Chen Youyou.

       Chen Youyou had a stern expression. When Zhan Weiyang ran up to him, he stood up, grabbed his schoolbag and threw it on Zhan Weiyang. Unable to restrain his anger, he asked, “You… Where, have you, been?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t know how to explain, he said, “I’m sorry.”

       Chen Youyou said, “I called, ten, or dozen times. But you, didn’t answer!”

       Zhan Weiyang hugged his schoolbag, lowered his head and said sadly, “My mobile phone is in my schoolbag.”

       Chen Youyou shouted, “I’m, going to explode!”

       A couple nearby were cuddling together and passed by them. Suddenly, they heard a roar, and they were so frightened that they walked around in a semicircle and away from them.

       Zhan Weiyang held his schoolbag in his right hand and pulled Chen Youyou’s sleeve with his left hand, pleading, “Don’t explode.”

       Chen Youyou was so angry that he couldn’t breathe properly, and his thin chest heaved hard.

       Pei Qing stayed across the street without passing by, watching them from a distance, waiting for them to speak between themselves.

       The nearby fast food restaurant turned off the lights, and Xie Ling walked out of it. When passing by Pei Qing, he stopped, glanced across the street, and then walked across the street.

       Xie Ling stopped in front of Chen Youyou and Zhan Weiyang and said to Chen Youyou in a cold tone, “Crazy, don’t follow me.” After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for their reaction.

       Chen Youyou and Zhan Weiyang were both stunned. After a while, Chen Youyou shouted, “Just. Go. Die!”


Notes:
Lmaooo, I actually was wondering where Youyou is or will he just magically disappear and everything fades to tomorrow
Apparently he really got left behind, lololol

Chapter 15

       The woman next to Pei Qing looked to be in her twenties, wearing a blouse and a skirt, with long curly hair. She was very beautiful.

       Zhan Weiyang kept staring at the woman, wondering who she was.

       Pei Qing noticed Zhan Weiyang’s gaze and said to him, “This is the sister of the company where I am interning. Her name is Qin Yishan. You can call her Shan jie.”

       Qin Yishan smiled and said, “He can call me jiejie, but you don’t have to.”

       Pei Qing smiled and said nothing.

       Zhan Weiyang was still staring at Qin Yishan in a daze.

       At this time, the traffic light at the intersection had turned green, and Pei Qing said, “Let’s cross the street first.” When he was about to walk forward, he saw that Zhan Weiyang was not moving, so he reached out, grabbed his wrist, and led him across the street before letting go.

       They walked across the street and stopped again.

       Pei Qing asked Zhan Weiyang, “Why are you here?”

       Zhan Weiyang was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said, “I’m here to find my classmates.”

       Pei Qing asked him again, “Did you find them?”

       Zhan Weiyang thought that he had already met Xie Ling, so he said, “Yes.”

       Pei Qing said, “Have you eaten?”

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head.

       Pei Qing said, “We are getting ready to have dinner. Let’s go together.”

       Qin Yishan stood by the side with her arms crossed in front of her chest. Her gaze shifted between Pei Qing’s face and Zhan Weiyang’s face. A faint smile lingered on her own face throughout.

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t think much, nodded, and said, “Okay.”

       Pei Qing then turned to Qin Yishan, “Where is the restaurant you mentioned?”

       Qin Yishan looked forward and said, “We’re almost there.”

       The three of them walked forward side by side. Zhan Weiyang felt a little awkward walking beside Pei Qing.

       Qin Yishan asked Pei Qing as she walked, “You said your family isn’t from here, right? Then how come you have a younger brother here?”

       Pei Qing said, “This is my younger cousin, Zhan Weiyang.”

       Qin Yishan glanced at Zhan Weiyang, who was walking on the other side of Pei Qing, and said, “Younger cousin, no wonder you don’t look alike.” She looked at Zhan Weiyang’s school uniform and asked, “High school student?”

       Pei Qing responded, “Second year in high school.”

       Qin Yishan smiled at Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiyang wasn’t actually very happy, but he still smiled back at Qin Yishan out of politeness.

       Qin Yishan took them to a restaurant specialising in beef. When they entered, there was an empty booth by the window. Pei Qing asked Zhan Weiyang to sit inside, and he sat beside him. Qin Yishan sat opposite them and waved for the waiter to come and take their order.

       When the menu was brought, Qin Yishan took it and handed it to Zhan Weiyang, saying, “Younger cousin, you can order whatever you want. Jiejie will treat you to dinner today.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at the menu in front of him and felt momentarily at a loss.

       Pei Qing lowered his head, approached Zhan Weiyang and said softly, “Just order it, I’ll treat you.”

       When Qin Yishan heard this, she immediately said, “That won’t do, we agreed that it’s jiejie’s treat.”

       Pei Qing said, “Didn’t you say that I don’t have to call you jiejie?”

       Zhan Weiyang couldn’t help but look up at Qin Yishan and saw her looking directly at Pei Qing with a completely different smile on her face, which Zhan Weiyang couldn’t describe. He reached out and pushed the menu in front of Pei Qing and said, “I don’t know what to order.”

       Pei Qing took it and handed it back to Qin Yishan, saying, “It’s better if you do it.”

       Qin Yishan no longer refused this time and familiarly ordered three dishes and a soup, handed the menu back to the waiter, and then said, “This restaurant really tastes good.”

       Pei Qing nodded, “What you recommended must be good.”

       Tonight, Pei Qing was working overtime for a while at the company where he was interning. When it was about to end, Qin Yishan, who worked in the company, took the initiative to invite him to have dinner. The two of them had some contact at work, but not much. Pei Qing was a little surprised but didn’t refuse.

       This restaurant was also Qin Yishan’s suggestion. It was not far from their company. It took the two of them less than twenty minutes to walk from the company. If they hadn’t met Zhan Weiyang on the way, it would have been faster.

       The restaurant’s business was so good, but the food service seemed a bit slow.

       While waiting for the food to be served, Pei Qing had been chatting with Qin Yishan, and the two of them were talking about things related to their work. Because Pei Qing was only a senior in college, Qin Yishan also gave him a lot of career advice about his future.

       “Are you planning to go to graduate school?” Qin Yishan asked Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing replied, “I’m considering it.”

       Zhan Weiyang could understand at most a third of what the two of them were talking about. He had been sitting quietly. At first, he was listening to their conversation and watching them, but later, he was shaking his legs restlessly.

       Pei Qing stretched out a hand under the dining table to hold down Zhan Weiyang’s shaking legs, looked at him, and asked, “Are you hungry?”

       Zhan Weiyang was actually hungry, but he shook his head and said, “Not hungry.”

       Pei Qing’s hand did not move away from his leg. Through the thin layer of school uniform pants, Zhan Weiyang felt the warmth and pressure of his palm. When Zhan Weiyang couldn’t help but fidget again, Pei Qing’s fingers even tightened inward, giving him a little pinch.

       Zhan Weiyang felt itchy from being pinched by him and did not dare to move.

       Pei Qing called the waiter and asked her how long the food would have to wait. When the answer was a little perfunctory, she asked the waiter if there were any snacks that could be served immediately.

       The waiter said there was Ice Jelly1Bingfen, also called ice jelly, is a Chinese dessert native to Southwest China in provinces such as Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan. It is served as a bowl of iced transparent jelly, made from the seeds of the Nicandra physalodes plant, along with toppings like haw flakes and wolfberries.

       Pei Qing looked at Qin Yishan, “Yishan jie, do you want it?”

       Qin Yishan said, “I don’t eat cold food.”

       Pei Qing said to the waiter, “I want a bowl.”

       The waiter turned and left and quickly brought them a bowl of brown sugar Ice Jelly and placed it on the table. Pei Qing released the hand holding Zhan Weiyang’s thigh and lifted it up to hold the small spoon in the bowl, stirred the brown sugar liquid that was covered on top of the Ice Jelly before pushing the whole bowl in front of Zhan Weiyang and said, “You eat first. “

       Zhan Weiyang lowered his head, took a spoon and took a spoonful of Ice Jelly, and put it into his mouth. He felt that the Ice Jelly was sweet, and he felt less anxious instantly. He turned his head and looked up at Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing was also looking at him, and after meeting his gaze, he smiled at him.

       Zhan Weiyang then also smiled, lowered his eyes and continued to eat the Ice Jelly.

       Qin Yishan supported her chin with one hand and looked at them for a long time before saying, “You take good care of your younger cousin.”

       Pei Qing said, “I am now living in their home. My uncle and grandma take good care of me. It is my duty to take care of him.”

       Strictly speaking, Zhan Weiyang’s grandmother was Pei Qing’s grandmother, but in the end, there was no blood relationship. After Pei Qing came here, he had been calling Zhan Weiyang’s grandmother, Grandma, and no one thought there was anything inappropriate.

       Qin Yishan didn’t know about Pei Qing’s relationship with the Zhan family, so naturally she thought nothing was wrong. She just looked at Pei Qing with a smile and said, “Your character is much more mature than your actual age.”

       Pei Qing smiled and said, “Maybe I just look older.”

       “I’m talking about personality, not appearance,” Qin Yishan said, “When you first came to our company as an intern, I felt that you were calmer than other college students. Nowadays, many men are still like children after they graduate from college and work. You… On the contrary, are still a student but feel more stable and reliable than them.”

       Pei Qing laughed, lowered his head, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and put them down gently without saying anything else.

       At this time, the waiter finally brought the dishes.

       Qin Yishan asked Pei Qing, “Want to drink some beer?”

       Pei Qing said, “Do you want to drink? If you want to drink, I can accompany you.”

       Qin Yishan shook her head, “I don’t drink.”

       Pei Qing said, “Then I won’t drink either.”

       Hearing this, Qin Yishan said, “Drink some. This kind of weather is suitable for a bottle of beer.”

       Pei Qing seemed to hesitate for a moment, then raised his hand and asked the waiter to open a bottle of beer and bring it over.

       The beer was frozen, and the glass bottle was covered with a layer of white mist.

       Zhan Weiyang had just finished eating the Ice Jelly and saw the mist on the wine bottle. He couldn’t help but stretch out his finger to wipe it.

       Pei Qing reached out to pick up the wine bottle and put it on Zhan Weiyang’s face.

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Oh!” and hurriedly ducked to the side with his neck scrunched up. When he couldn’t hide away, he raised his hands to cover his face.

       Pei Qing asked him, “Want to drink?”

       Zhan Weiyang covered his face, which was red from the cold, and nodded.

       Pei Qing stretched out the mouth of the beer bottle in front of him. He really thought that Pei Qing wanted him to drink, so he leaned over and as soon as his lips touched the mouth of the bottle, Pei Qing took the bottle away and said, “I just remembered. You are still a high school student, you can’t drink.”

       Zhan Weiyang wanted to say that he had actually drunk with Chen Youyou, but he was afraid that Pei Qing would be angry if he found out, so he said, “I just remembered too.”

       Pei Qing immediately looked at him and smiled.

Chapter 41 – Homeward Journey (2)

       There has never been a day as lively as today on All Universe 818. The forum is dominated by a big red headline, ‘Live Broadcast! Imperial Wedding! Grand Celebration! Unparalleled! Invincible True Love!’.

       There was a lot of excitement in the palace. Ba Jin directed more than a dozen butlers to prepare things for the wedding, including sceptres, swords, crowns, royal family cloaks… Fortunately, Duke Arthur sent his team of butlers, and Ke Qing was currently helping everyone lay out the carpets.

       When Shen Zhuofan arrived, Qin Yun was struggling with the outfit in the master bedroom. He had put on his shirt and trousers and was busy tying his bow tie halfway through putting on his vest. His hair was too messy, and there was no time to style it. He only wore one sock, and he didn’t know where the other had gone… He was on the verge of tears when he saw Shen Zhuofan.

       “Come and help me get it! Armbands! And tie clips…” Qin Yun started to look for socks, “Where are my shoes?!”

       Shen Zhuofan was speechless, “…You don’t look like you are getting married…”

       Qin Yun finally dug out his shoes from under the bed and complained, “I told Xi Zhao last night to ask him to wait a few more days, but he refused!” The Queen-to-be held the shoes and climbed out of bed, saying, “I didn’t sleep well all night! I’m so nervous that I feel like peeing every moment…”

       “…” Shen Zhuofan rolled his eyes and said, “Sit down, and I’ll help you comb your hair first.”

       Qin Yun quickly agreed, “Okay!”

 

       Moschery came in while he was halfway through combing his hair. He was dressed in the highest-grade commander uniform, a black high-collared military suit. He wore the Emperor’s Medal on his chest, and a heavy crimson royal cloak hung straight down to the ground from his back.

       Shen Zhuofan looked at Qin Yun with an expression of ‘look how reliable your husband is’. He stood up and saluted the Emperor respectfully, “Your Majesty.”

       Moschery nodded slightly and looked at his guide, “Can you wear it?”

       Qin Yun awkwardly said, “Just so-so…?”

       Shen Zhuofan couldn’t help but laugh. He neatly combed Qin Yun’s hair and said cheerfully, “I’m going to work in the front. Your Majesty will do the rest for you.”

       “…” Qin Yun watched helplessly as he abandoned him. In desperation, he could only stare at Moschery innocently.

       His Majesty the Emperor raised his eyebrows. He slowly took off his gloves and took a few steps forward to help Qin Yun stand up.

 

       Vest, bow tie, bow tie pendant… Moschery’s fingers carefully pressed Qin Yun’s front. He lowered his head with a serious and meticulous expression.

       Qin Yun watched the Emperor kneel down on one knee, put his cloak on the ground, lift up one foot and put on a sock, then the other, and finally put on military boots and tie the shoelaces.

       “Come.” Moschery stood up, opened his white military jacket and motioned for Qin Yun to reach out.

       “…” Qin Yun was too cautious to move and allowed the other party to adjust his belt, put on his sword and put on the medal. Moschery took the royal family’s cloak that was placed on the tray, shook it off and put it on the back of his guide.

       “Don’t be nervous.” Moschery lowered his head and kissed Qin Yun’s lips. He gently pressed his forehead against his, “I’m by your side.”

       Qin Yun opened his mouth, “I’m afraid of what will happen if I tremble when I put the ring on…how many people will see it?”

       His Majesty the Emperor’s expression was a little subtle, “A live broadcast… can probably be seen by the whole universe.”

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       Ba Jin knocked on the door a few times to urge the two of them. Qin Yun was still struggling with the issue of ‘the whole universe could see it’. He checked his appearance one last time and muttered, “If so many people are watching, what if I get nervous and trip? Will the Cabinet cause trouble? Should I carry a high-energy cannon just in case…”

       “…” Moschery stroked his forehead patiently. He felt that even without the guide, his mania would be cured a little bit every day, “I will support you and prevent you from falling. Skarter already has his eye on the Cabinet, so there won’t be any trouble. As for the issue of so many people watching…”

       A gentle smile appeared on the Emperor’s face, “I don’t think that is a problem at all. At the very least, so many people have seen that you married me, and it won’t be easy to get a divorce even if you want to in the future.”

       “…” Qin Yun curled his lips disdainfully, “That makes two of us…don’t even think about finding a mistress in the future.”

       Moschery: “…”

 

       The doors from the bedroom to the main hall slowly opened one after another. Ba Jin bowed respectfully and saluted. The Emperor held Qin Yun’s lower back and stepped on the red carpet that was spread all the way to the door.

       The morning light shines brightly into the terrace in mid-air, and Moschery’s rhinestone-covered aircraft leads the Royal Guards into the sky.

       The salute was fired, and the sunlight fireworks bloomed brightly in the air.

       Qin Yun turned to look at Moschery beside him. His Majesty the Emperor took the ring box from Ba Jin and spread his palm towards his guide.

 

       The platinum ring was smoothly inserted into Qin Yun’s ring finger. Qin Yun took a deep breath and held Moschery’s hand…

       “…” Qin Yun was about to cry without tears. He couldn’t stop shaking. He tried putting the ring on the Emperor several times but failed. The Emperor’s face darkened, and finally unable to bear it, he snatched the ring and put it on his own finger.

       “Trash!” Moschery said bitterly. He couldn’t help but pinched Qin Yun’s neck, pressed the back of his head and blocked his mouth.

       Tristana took the lead and whistled cheerfully under the balcony, “This is a global live broadcast, Your Majesty! Don’t let Her Royal Highness the Queen get off the stage!”

       Qin Yun’s face turned red. Moschery took a while before letting him go, his thumb deliberately or unintentionally wiping the water stains at the corner of his lips, “Klaas’ Bonding Heat potion has been developed.” His Majesty the Emperor suddenly said. His gaze, staring at Qin Yun, was a little dark, and his voice was low. He said, “We can try it tonight.”

       Qin Yun: “…”

 

       The evening banquet was attended only by close friends and family of Qin Yun and the Emperor. Moschery found them too noisy and wore a displeased expression all night. Arthur held a wine glass and teased him, “Don’t be too impatient. Starting tomorrow, you can take a long honeymoon. You have plenty of time to enjoy yourselves.”

       The Emperor thought thoughtfully, “Do you still have the pheromone suppressant?”

       “Yes.” Arthur said frivolously, “What’s wrong?”

       Moschery, “I’ll trade you a Bonding Heat potion, and you give me all the pheromone suppressant potions you have.”

       Arthur was silent, “How many times do you plan to do it tonight?”

       Moschery did not answer directly. He said impatiently, “It’s always good to be more prepared. I can’t hurt him…” After a pause, the Emperor looked a little embarrassed, “And I’m also afraid that I can’t control myself.”

       “…” Arthur understood very well. He patted Moschery’s shoulder sympathetically, “I understand. It’s been really hard on you after being a virgin for so many years.”

       Moschery: “…”

 

       Qin Yun drank a little too much, and his hair, which had been combed during the day, was messed up. His bangs were stuck to his forehead. The smell of alcohol was a little on his face, and he looked at Moschery with bright eyes and smiled.

       “What are you talking about to Duke Garcia?” Qin Yun untied his tie and opened his collar a little, “I just logged in to All Universe 818. The videos and photos were pretty good… It’s just that I looked a bit silly. I was so nervous that I forgot to smile. ”

       Moschery narrowed his eyes and lingered near his exposed collarbone, “You don’t have to smile at others…” The Emperor couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to help him fasten the button again and said solemnly, “Take it off when you get back.”

       Qin Yun craned his neck and muttered something that Moschery didn’t hear clearly.

 

       Everyone at the dinner table had long lost their usual seriousness and restraint.

       Shen Zhuofan was already sleepy, half-dozing in Arthur’s arms. Skarter, having taken off his military uniform, propped up his head and gazed affectionately at Lin Dongliang, who was peeling shrimp for him. Only Tristana remained energetic, challenging Chen Xiao to a drinking game with clenched fists…

       “I never thought we were really married.” Qin Yun sighed. He stretched out his hand to shake the ring on his ring finger, but the Emperor held it in his palm mid-air.

       Moschery clasped his fingers with him and said in a disdainful tone, “What else can we do if we don’t get married? I told you I would give you half of the sovereignty of this country.”

       Qin Yun laughed and said half-jokingly, “What else can you give me besides this?”

       “I can give you a lot more.” Moschery took his hand and placed it near his heart. He looked into Qin Yun’s eyes and said slowly, “All my love and all my life.”

       Qin Yun was speechless for a long time. He only felt that his hand seemed to be able to touch Moschery’s fiery beating heart. The temperature was so hot that it seemed to burn the palm of his hand.

Chapter 39 – Chunjun

       The inhumane abuse on the stage continued, and Song Jun was horrified. He stood up again and tried to stop them but was knocked to the ground again by Ling Xiao.

       Ling Xiao stepped on Song Jun’s chest with the hard soles of his leather boots and asked the question again, “Are you really Chunjun?”

       Song Jun said, “What Chunjun?! I don’t know what you are talking about!”

       Ling Xiao stretched out a hand to raise Song Jun’s face, looked at it carefully for a moment, and said, “He is very similar to Chunjun.”

       At this time, the tall man who brought Song Jun in came over and said, “Ling Xiao, you can see clearly. This man is really Chunjun, and I have seen him with Demon Zhen with my own eyes, and now Fengliu1Feng Junyuan and Longshao2Long Xing and Yueya[/mfn]Xi Anling[/mfn] have appeared, and the person next to that old demon can only be Chunjun.”

       Ling Xiao’s expression was icy cold, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a while, he said, “Do you understand any of what I just said?”

       The man was stunned when he heard this.

       Ling Xiao said, “I have never seen Chunjun show such pure and kind eyes. How could the former best killing sword in the world become like this?”

       Song Jun still didn’t understand what they were talking about. He turned his head with difficulty and looked at the stage. The young man had been whipped to the point of dying. Song Jun has heard of this kind of punishment in ancient times. People who have been flogged may or may not die, but he always believed that it was caused by wound infection due to a lack of medical conditions in ancient times. But today, he might have to see how a person was beaten to death with a whip.

       The boy was lying on the stage at this time, and the clothes on his back had become tattered, and the flesh and blood oozing out of it could be seen. Although his mouth was blocked, Song Jun could still hear his ragged gasps. There was a wheezing sound, and the rhythm of the breathing began to become slower and slower.

       The audience in the bar was very excited. At first, they were attracted by the commotion in Song Jun’s direction. Later, when they saw Ling Xiao catching the person, they all turned their attention back to the stage. At this time, some people were even whistling and cheering, and some shouted, “Kill him!”

       Song Jun looked back at Ling Xiao and said, “He is really going to die.”

       Ling Xiao said to him, “So what if he dies? You have been stained with the blood of so many people. Why are you so pretentious now? Is it possible that by ascending with Demon Zhen, you can really develop a bodhisattva heart?” Ling Xiao laughed out loud, “What a joke!”

       Song Jun looked confused. He had no idea what Ling Xiao was talking about, but he vaguely felt that it had something to do with him.

       At this time, the boy was grabbed by his legs and dragged towards the backstage.

       The stage lights were turned off and replaced with soft music, restoring the original atmosphere.

       Song Jun wondered if there was a way for him to escape after witnessing all this. Could he call the police? Would Xia Hongshen come to him if he found out that he was missing? Was there any way Long Xing could find out his whereabouts?

       While he was thinking anxiously, Ling Xiao grabbed him and threw him on the sofa next to him.

       Song Jun struggled to stand up when he suddenly saw the dying boy who had been whipped on the stage walking out from the backstage. He had changed into a set of clothes, and his whole body looked intact, without any trace of injury.

       Seeing his appearance, Song Jun was stunned.

       The young man also noticed Song Jun looking at him and walked towards this direction. Suddenly, he transformed into a golden fox and rushed towards Song Jun, wanting to bite him.

       As a result, Ling Xiao grabbed the back of its neck, threw it aside, and hit the drum kit next to the stage hard.

       The little fox turned over and stood up, baring his teeth.

       Ling Xiao shouted, “If you make trouble again, get out.”

       The little fox glanced at Ling Xiao, finally restrained his claws, and sat down to stare at Song Jun.

       Song Jun’s face turned pale with fright because he had seen Xiang Wenshi before, but now he finally reacted quickly and said, “A demon?”

       “Are you afraid of demons?” Ling Xiao sneered, “You have been with that old Demon Zhen for so long, and you are still afraid of demons?”

       Song Jun still shook his head, “I don’t understand what you are talking about?”

       Ling Xiao was about to speak when suddenly, the little fox sitting on the ground said, “He killed my brother!”

       Song Jun looked at the little fox. Although he knew he was a demon, he couldn’t help but ask in surprise, “He was clearly beaten up just now…”

       “It’s just an illusion,” Ling Xiao explained, “Xiang Wenxi doesn’t have any other abilities. He’s just good at illusion.”

       Song Jun looked at the little fox named Xiang Wenxi and asked, “Are you Teacher Xiang’s younger brother?”

       Ling Xiao snorted coldly, seeming to be very disdainful of Xiang Wenshi.

       Song Jun thought of another thing, “So you stole my mobile phone? You wanted to steal pieces of Thousand Years Lamp?”

       Before Ling Xiao could speak this time, he suddenly heard a fierce banging sound coming from the door of the bar.

       The originally noisy environment in the bar immediately became quiet. The guests all stood up and looked towards the door of the bar. Then they heard another noise, and it turned out that someone was banging on the door outside.

       Ling Xiao said, “Demon Zhen.”

       The whole bar suddenly became commotion because of these two words.

       Ling Xiao grabbed Song Jun and threw him at the little fox, saying, “Take him first!”

       The little fox grew taller and bigger than a person. It used its tail to wrap up Song Jun on its back like Xiang Wenshi had done before and ran towards the back of the stage.

       Song Jun only felt that the scenery in front of him was changing rapidly. He couldn’t see anything clearly at all. He only felt that the fur under his body was soft. He was being carried by this golden fox, and he didn’t know where he was running.

       After an unknown amount of time, the little fox stopped, slowly walked forward a few steps, loosened its tail, and let Song Jun roll to the ground.

       Song Jun’s stomach jolted, and he almost vomited.

       The little fox also turned into a human form. He reached out and grabbed a handful of shaggy golden hair on his head and pulled out the pendant around his neck from his collar. Song Jun saw that it was clearly a piece of Thousand Years Lamp, which had been used as a mobile phone chain before on his phone.

       “Where is this?” Song Jun asked, stroking his chest.

       Xiang Wenxi said, “This is an abandoned building in the north of the city, fenced off and waiting for demolition.”

       Song Jun stood up and found that the surrounding area was pitch black. It looked like an abandoned building, and the entire floor was very open. It might have been a large shopping mall or supermarket in the past.

       Until now, Song Jun didn’t know much about what happened except that the boy in front of him was a fox demon. He didn’t even know why he escaped with him.

       The surroundings were dark and terrifying.

       He asked Xiang Wenxi, “Why do we come here?”

       Xiang Wenxi stood quietly and said, “Waiting here for Ling Xiao to come over.”

       Song Jun was not willing to stay here and wait for Ling Xiao to come over. Because the surrounding was a completely closed environment, there was no light at all. He didn’t even know which direction to go.

       But he still tried to take a step and then heard Xiang Wenxi say, “Don’t move recklessly, or you might get trapped in my illusion.”

       “What illusion?” Despite asking, Song Jun still tried to take a step forward.

       At this time, he saw light coming from a distance.

       “Who is it?” Someone asked loudly from a distance while walking in the direction with a flashlight.

       Song Jun looked back at Xiang Wenxi and saw that Xiang Wenxi had not moved, so he took two steps in the direction of that person and asked, “Who are you?”

       The man walked closer and closer with a flashlight. Song Jun finally saw his appearance clearly. He was a simple middle-aged man. The man said, “I’m the gatekeeper. Who are you? This building is scheduled for demolition. Why did you come in? There’s nothing here!”

       Song Jun breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I’m sorry, I’m going out right now.”

       “Tsk!” the middle-aged man said, “I don’t know how you sneaked up here. Young people nowadays really think there is nothing here. What is there to do? Come on, follow me out!”

       Of course Song Jun would like someone to take him out.

       Looking back, Song Jun wanted to find Xiang Wenxi but found that he had disappeared.

       The middle-aged man urged him, “Let’s go quickly.”

       Song Jun hesitated, and asked the man, “Uncle, did you just see a young man with me?”

       When the middle-aged man heard this, he said, “Where is the young man? I only see you.”

       Song Jun said, “The one standing next to me.”

       The middle-aged man held up a flashlight and waved around, “There’s no one around. Don’t scare people by telling nonsense at night. I saw you were alone from the beginning to the end.”

       Xiang Wenxi was a demon, and Song Jun had not forgotten it. Compared with the demon, Song Jun felt that the uncle in front of him was more reliable. After hearing the middle-aged man’s urging again, Song Jun followed him forward.

       When they were far away, Xiang Wenxi appeared on the spot, looked at the direction Song Jun left and said, “I told you not to walk around casually.”

       Whether it was a supermarket or a shopping mall, it was surrounded by a completely closed environment. It was already night, and the lights from outside couldn’t penetrate at all.

       The road Song Jun could see was illuminated by the middle-aged people next to him holding flashlights.

       He didn’t know which direction they were walking in, but large shopping malls like this usually only had elevators, and the stairs were often in the corners of the shopping mall, making them not easy to find. The old shopping mall had a power outage, so of course, it was impossible to take the elevator downstairs. Maybe they could go down from the stopped elevator, but he didn’t know if it had been demolished, so the middle-aged man around him probably took him to the stairs to find the safe passage.

       “It’s so dark. How did you find your way up?” the middle-aged person asked. “Aren’t you afraid?”

       Song Jun didn’t know how to answer, so he had to say, “I originally had a flashlight, but it ran out of power just now.”

       The middle-aged man responded, “Oh… What’s so fun about this? You’re still a student, right? A middle school student?”

       “No, I’m a college student,” Song Jun was embarrassed to say that he was a graduate student.

       As the middle-aged man walked, the flashlight in his hand swayed up and down according to his walking posture. Song Jun could not see in the distance. He could only see the road ahead, which was full of dust and waste.

       The two people walked to a wooden door. If they expected correctly, there should be a safe passage behind this fire door.

       Song Jun was half a step behind the middle-aged man, and he waited for the middle-aged man to open the door.

       At this time, the middle-aged man said again, “It’s so dark. How did you find your way up? Aren’t you afraid?”

       Song Jun was about to answer him when he suddenly realised that this middle-aged man had only asked this question once before, and the content of the question was exactly the same as his previous question.

       After hesitating for a moment, Song Jun said, “My flashlight is out of power.”

       Then, he heard the middle-aged man say, “Oh… What’s so fun about this? You’re still a student, right? A middle school student?”

       After hearing these words, Song Jun’s arms were instantly covered with goosebumps. He slowly raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man’s face.

Chapter 40 – Homeward Journey (1)

       Qin Yun was not in a relaxed mood on the way back. He communicated with Lin Dongliang via video once, and the other party comforted him.

       “Don’t worry, even a god-level person can’t easily guide His Majesty.” The Secretary of State said with a gentle smile, “Although the other party wanted to, they didn’t succeed after all.”

       Qin Yun couldn’t help but ask, “His Majesty… Is he okay?”

       Lin Dongliang hesitated for a while before replying, “It’s okay; Kyle’s mental power is not strong enough to harm His Majesty.”

       Qin Yun frowned. He always felt that the other party seemed to be hiding something from him, but he couldn’t find the reason to pry. He could only repeat it again, “I will be there tomorrow afternoon; don’t forget to tell him.”

       Lin Dongliang smiled and replied, “Alright.” He waited until the other party turned off the video before turning around.

       Moschery leaned against the bed with a pale face. Unlike the guide, the sentinel did not have strong mental power. Although the barriers erected by their consciousness cloud could defend against the guide’s mental attacks to a certain extent, it was simply torture to the brain when encountering the same level.

       “He will arrive tomorrow afternoon.” Lin Dongliang looked at the Emperor worriedly, “Your consciousness cloud has been severely damaged… It is impossible for Qin Yun not to notice it.”

       “It doesn’t matter.” Moschery said calmly, “He can’t see Zhongyan. As for me… I can ask a makeup artist to cover.”

       Lin Dongliang disagreed. He had witnessed a head-on confrontation between one god-level and another today. Although Kyle was forced to have a mental breakdown in the end, Moschery was not much better. His consciousness barrier was riddled with holes, and he almost came close to having mania several times.

 

       The Emperor took Zhongyan back into the realm of consciousness. The dragon’s wings were covered with scars. It carefully wrapped its tail around itself, turned its head, and licked the blood on its wings.

       Even if Lin Dongliang couldn’t see it, he still knew that the Emperor’s spiritual link was injured. Although the god-level had strong self-healing ability, the pain he suffered was still the same.

       “I will pick him up at the port tomorrow.” Moschery seemed to have thought of something, with a slight smile on his face, “Fortunately, the wedding is almost ready.”

 

       The Crested Ibis arrived at the port at noon the next day. Before Qin Yun landed, he saw the royal escort waiting below. Moschery stood in front, his scarlet cloak behind him, flying up and down by the air current.

       The Emperor smiled when he saw him.

       Qin Yun couldn’t wait for the cabin door to be fully opened and jumped down. Moschery opened his arms and took him firmly into his arms. The two hugged him for a long time until Bixi, who was following Qin Yun, couldn’t help but say, “Alright, although a short parting is better than a honeymoon, at least pay attention to the occasion.”

       “Hey.” Qin Yun let go of Moschery with some embarrassment but did not let go of the Emperor’s hand, “This is Bixi.” He introduced her to Moschery, “The first representative of Averio Academy.”

       Bixi curtsied gracefully and looked at her prospective son-in-law, “Nice to meet you, Your Majesty.”

       “Welcome to our wedding.” Moschery bent down slightly, took Bixi’s hand and kissed the back of her hand, “You are younger and more beautiful than I imagined.”

       Bixi smiled with wrinkles almost appearing at the corners of her eyes, “Little Rainbow Dash is indeed right, Your Majesty; you have such a sweet mouth.”

       Qin Yun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He carefully looked at Moschery’s face. Although he didn’t find anything unusual, he still felt a little strange…

       The Emperor had not yet reacted when his chin was held. Qin Yun was so close to him that he almost touched the tip of his nose. The other person frowned and stared at his face.

       “Are you wearing makeup?” Qin Yun asked uncertainly, “Why is your skin colour so unnatural?”

       “…” Moschery replied by biting the other directly on the mouth.

 

       When he encountered the Olympus men at the entrance of the palace, Moschery’s expression was so gloomy. He didn’t expect that Kyle would recover quickly and still have the strength to cause trouble.

       The god-level guide’s face was almost translucently pale. Standing there with a somewhat delicate appearance, he seemed a bit pitiful. When he saw Qin Yun’s face, he clearly paused for a moment. However, upon realising that the other was just an ordinary person, he immediately calmed down.

       Moschery knew something was wrong when he saw Kyle’s normal eye slowly turn golden. He shouted anxiously, “Qin Yun!” Before he could take action, the other party stepped in front of him.

       Kyle said in surprise, “How did you…” But before he could finish his words, Qin Yun punched him in the face and knocked him to the ground.

       Moschery: “…”

       Qin Yun flicked his wrist, looking down at the guide who was lying on the ground unable to get up for a long time, and said coldly, “I heard that you want to divert my sentinel?”

       Kyle: “…”

       Qin Yun: “Do you know that you can’t touch other people’s things casually?” He turned to Tristana and told Tristana, “Bring the high-energy cannon.”

       Kyle watched with horror as the other party easily carried the huge cannon barrel, and Qin Yun pressed the muzzle heavily against the god-level guide’s head.

       “Get out of here right away.” Qin Yun lowered his head and said coldly, “Or else, I’ll kill you right now.”

 

       Old Butler Ba Jin saw off the Olympus ship with a smile on his face, but as soon as he returned to the palace, he found the queen-to-be with his arms folded and staring at His Majesty with a serious expression.

       “Why didn’t you tell me you were injured?” Qin Yun frowned. His high-energy cannon was placed at his feet, which made Ba Jin couldn’t help but look over.

       Moschery had an unpleasant look on his face. It was probably the first time in his life that the Emperor looked so embarrassed. He said harshly, “It’s just a minor injury…it will be fine in a few days.”

       Qin Yun sighed, “The wedding will be held after you recover from your injury.” He turned around and stopped looking at Moschery, “I will sleep by myself tonight.” After that, he picked up the high-energy cannon and went to the guest room alone.

       “…” The Emperor stared at Qin Yun’s back in shock. He turned his head in disbelief and asked Ba Jin, “Is he… angry with me?”

       Ba Jin asked, “I think… so?”

       Moschery: “…How dare he be angry with me?!”

       Ba Jin shrugged.

       The Emperor let out a displeased “Ha”, turned around and left with an ugly expression on his face, only to step back after a few steps and grunted awkwardly, “Young ladies just have a bad temper…forget it, I’ll go and coax him!” “

       Ba Jin: “…”

 

       Qin Yun looked at His Majesty the Emperor standing at the door of the guest room with no intention of getting out of the way. He leaned against the door with his arms folded and said calmly, “Do you know what you did wrong?”

       Of course Moschery didn’t feel that he was at fault. He hesitated for a long time with a stiff face and didn’t know what to say.

       “Even if I lose my guide ability, I am not useless at all.” Qin took a deep breath, “You are not the only one who wants to protect me.” He closed his eyes and said slowly, “I also want to be the one you rely on.”

       Moschery opened his mouth, and he said impatiently, “Then let’s get married right away; no need for delays.”

       Qin Yun tilted her head and looked at him.

       “Let’s get married.” The Emperor promised with all his might, “I will rely on you.”

       Qin Yun made a ‘pfft’ sound, “Do you know what I mean by relying on?”

       “I understand.” Moschery looked at him seriously, “I will believe you, respect you, cherish you…and love you for the rest of my life.”

       “…” Qin Yun held his forehead helplessly, “That’s not relying on… you are confessing. It’s too foul.”

       Moschery didn’t defend himself. He suddenly stepped forward to hold the door, lowered his head and kissed Qin Yun’s lips. The latter finally couldn’t help but stretch out his hands and wrap his arms around the Emperor’s neck.

       “Let’s get married tomorrow.” His Majesty the Emperor muttered vaguely, “I’ll help you try the dress to see if it fits you later.”

       Qin Yun was in a daze after being kissed, “How can I try it…”

       “I’ll help you try it on.” Moschery raised his head and stared into Qin Yun’s eyes, “I will be responsible for helping you put it on and then take it off.”

       Qin Yun: “…”

Chapter 38 – The Bar

       Xia Hongshen clearly didn’t seem too concerned about the fact that Song Jun had lost the fragment of the Thousand Years Lamp he had worked hard to collect.

       Song Jun, however, was quite bothered by this because the item was lost while in his possession. Moreover, he noticed that lately, Xia Hongshen’s interests had changed into dilly-dallying with him. Song Jun felt very puzzled by this behaviour, as their relationship wasn’t like that. The constant hugging and touching felt almost like a form of harassment.

       Since Xia Hongshen didn’t seem to care, Song Jun thought of someone—Long Xing.

       Long Xing was a policeman, so finding a thief who stole mobile phones would not be a big problem.

       Song Jun gave Long Xing a call for this purpose. Long Xing asked him in detail the brand and model of his mobile phone, where he lost it, and who might have stolen it.

       Hearing his careful question, Song Jun also recalled the incident carefully, and suddenly, he remembered the young man who passed by him.

       Song Jun said, “When I was going out, a boy bumped into me. I don’t know if it was to steal my mobile phone.”

       Long Xing then asked him to recall the boy’s appearance and clothing.

       Song Jun thought for a while and told Long Xing everything he could recall. Long Xing then told him that he would check it out and asked him to just wait for the news.

       Two days later, Long Xing came to the Forensic Medicine building and told Song Jun that he had discovered something strange.

       “What?” Song Jun asked.

       Long Xing said, “I’ve asked quite a few people, but it seems that no one at the campus saw anyone matching the description of the young person you mentioned that day. I even checked the surveillance camera at the intersection ahead during the time you specified, and there was no young person with the characteristics you described passing through there.”

       Song Jun was a little disappointed.

       Long Xing said to him, “Let me check again. Most of these thieves are habitual thieves, and I’m sure they’ll do it again.”

       Song Jun thanked him and then said, “My mobile phone is actually not important. The important thing is that it has Senior Brother Xia’s Thousand Years Lamp fragments on it.”

       “Oh?” Long Xing was also a little surprised when he heard this, “Have you ever thought that that person might not have come to steal your phone but came for the Thousand Years Lamp?”

       Song Jun looked at him and suddenly felt a little terrified for some reason. If they were there for Thousand Years Lamp, then that person probably was not an ordinary person, and he didn’t know what kind of weird stuff it was.

       The place where the two met was in Xia Hongshen’s office. While they were talking, Xia Hongshen suddenly came in from outside.

       Today, there was a case for autopsy on the first floor. He didn’t take off his white coat, and there was still a trace of blood. When he walked in and saw Song Jun, he came over and hugged him.

       Song Jun was startled and disliked the fact that he was dirty, so he quickly wanted to push him away.

       When Long Xing saw Xia Hongshen, he happily shouted, “Teacher Xia!”

       Xia Hongshen reached out and touched Long Xing’s head and then continued to hold Song Jun, rubbing his face against the top of his head.

       Song Jun pushed him away with great strength and said, “I’m leaving first!” Then he ran out of Xia Hongshen’s office with a red face.

       Upon returning to the dormitory, Song Jun had no choice but to take off all his clothes and change. He thought to himself since it was Xia Hongshen’s stuff anyway, so he wasn’t in a hurry. He couldn’t figure out why he was in such a hurry, so he decided not to bother about it and let things be.

       However, losing a mobile phone was always a troublesome thing. After changing clothes, Song Jun sat in front of the computer, searching for a new mobile phone.

       In the evening, Song Jun went to the supermarket near the campus alone.

       He stood in front of the pet supplies counter, and Song Jun was in a daze. The little black cat seemed to have not come to him for a long time, and he didn’t know what it was doing…

       Song Jun picked up a bag of cat food, but he put it back afterwards. When he turned around, he saw the boy with curly yellow hair and fair skin again.

       The boy was carrying a backpack and seemed to be visiting the supermarket.

       As soon as he saw him, Song Jun followed him subconsciously. When he got closer, he stopped again, thinking that even if he rushed over, that guy probably wouldn’t admit that he had stolen his mobile phone.

       Song Jun kept chasing him after paying the bill and walking out of the supermarket. He didn’t expect to be able to stop him but just wanted to follow the man to see if he went back to campus. As long as he knew which dormitory he lived in, he could stop, tell Long Xing the situation and let Long Xing investigate.

       The young man didn’t seem to notice anyone following him. He came out of the supermarket and walked in the direction of the campus.

       Song Jun followed him at a close distance. One after another, they walked to the street at the south gate of the campus. This street was very lively every night. In addition to many restaurants, there were also a lot of bars and pubs, and the milk tea shop where Song Jun works was also on this street.

       Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the campus gate, Song Jun could confirm that the boy was a student of the campus, but he saw him standing at the door of the public toilet on the right side of the street and stopped.

       The boy looked up at the public toilet door for a while. Just when Song Jun thought he was going in, he walked into a small alley next to the public toilet.

       It was a dead end.

       Song Jun passes this street almost every day. He didn’t need to confirm it at all. He could definitely say that there was no road in that alley; it was just a dead end between the public toilet and a barber shop next to it.

       There were no lights in the alley, but it was not completely dark because there were tall street lights next to it.

       He cautiously leaned closer to take a look but found that there was no sign of the young man in the alley. The boy disappeared in this roadless alley.

       Unable to resist, Song Jun took a few steps towards the inside, wondering if the young man had noticed being followed and had jumped over the wall to enter the school directly from there. Suddenly, he noticed an iron gate at the end of the alley.”

       Was there ever a gate here? Song Jun found that he really couldn’t remember clearly.

       He stood there blankly for a while and made up his mind to turn around and leave immediately, but before he could leave, a tall man suddenly appeared behind him, put a hand on his shoulder and said, “What? Do you want to go in, classmate? Come with me.”

       Song Jun said, “I don’t…”

       The man’s hands were very strong, and he obviously didn’t listen to what Song Jun had to say. He only said two words, and the person already pulled him behind the iron gate.

       Inside the iron gate was a bar.

       It looked like a very ordinary bar, with people drinking and chatting. But it didn’t look like the bars that appeared around the campus because the people here didn’t look like students.

       There were a lot of people in the bar, and Song Jun felt less scared after he came in because, with so many people, there wouldn’t be any demons suddenly appearing.

       He turned to look at the man next to him and found that he was very tall, probably close to two meters tall, and very strong.

       The man smiled at him and patted his back, almost knocking him down.

       Many people in the bar looked in this direction and seemed a little surprised to see Song Jun. Some people asked, “Who is he? How did he get in?”

       The tall man said, “I brought him here.”

       Many gazes were directed in this direction. The man took Song Jun’s hand and walked forward, saying, “Where is Ling Xiao?”

       The bartender in front of the bar said, “There’s a show tonight. The boss is in the back explaining things.”

       The man smiled and said, “That’s great.” He grabbed Song Jun’s hand and walked to the table on the side to sit down. “Stay and watch the show.”

       Song Jun’s arm felt hurt from being pulled by him. At this time, he finally had the opportunity to ask, “Who are you? What on earth is this place?”

       The man crossed his legs, hugged his right knee with both hands and said to him, “The Bar.”

       Song Jun stood up, “I’m leaving.”

       But the man pulled him hard and said, “Sit down and watch the show.”

       Seeing the tension in the man’s muscular arms and the absence of a smile on his face, Song Jun felt a bit nervous. The man’s countenance appeared dark and serious. Suddenly, Song Jun turned his head and glanced at the bar once again.

       The bar still looked nothing special, with a small stage in the middle. At this time, all the guests’ attention fell on the stage in the middle, but at the same time, many people were paying attention to him.

       He felt like this was a small bar where the guests were all familiar with each other, but he was a stranger who had barged in for no reason, and everyone was wary of him.

       The performance was about to start. Song Jun didn’t know what kind of performance it would be, but he suddenly felt a little excited at this time.

       Before the performance officially started, a waiter came to Song Jun’s table. While looking at Song Jun, he whispered something in the man’s ear. The man waved his hand and said, “It’s okay, call Ling Xiao to come over later, he knows.”

       The waiter said nothing more, apologised and left.

       Song Jun asked softly at this time, “What kind of performance is it?”

       The man said to him, “Murder.”

       Song Jun was stunned when he heard this.

       At this time, the spotlight on the stage lit up, and the performance officially began. Song Jun saw a young man being pushed out of the stage with his eyes covered, his mouth gagged, and his hands and feet bound.

       The person was clearly the boy with yellow curly hair from before.

       Song Jun stood up in surprise and was pulled to sit down by the man next to him.

       Unable to calm down, he asked, “You want to kill him?”

       The man said, “I’m just watching the show, why are you so anxious!”

       Next, Song Jun saw another man go up to the stage. The man held a whip in his hand and slapped the boy hard on the face.

       Immediately, blood flowed from the young man’s face.

       Immediately afterwards, the whip in the man’s hand struck the young man’s body one after another. The young man groaned miserably, and soon, blood seeped out all over his body.

       Song Jun looked at this scene in disbelief, his hands trembling a little. He simply couldn’t believe that there was such a terrible and dehumanising performance just outside the campus separated by a wall. No. How could this called a performance? This was a massacre.

       He stood up again, and the man reached out to pull him. He grabbed the man’s arm and bit him hard.

       The man waved his hand, and Song Jun was pushed away by a strong force, and his body knocked over a table next door. Ignoring the pain and the commotion, he got up from the ground and rushed towards the stage. He wanted to stop the cruel performance from continuing.

       However, he still failed to go up. When he first stepped onto the stairs, he was stopped by a man. The man was wearing black clothes and pants, with strong features and a scar diagonally across one cheek.

       Song Jun was hugged directly by him, and he looked at each other face to face. He heard the man’s deep voice and asked doubtfully, “Chunjun?”

       The moment he heard these two words, Song Jun felt as if his head had been hit hard by something. Something surged up, but he couldn’t catch anything.

       However, the man immediately threw him away and said, “You are not Chunjun. How could Chunjun be like this?”

       Song Jun fell heavily to the ground.

       At this time, the man who brought Song Jun in came over and shouted, “Ling Xiao.”

       Ling Xiao, the man in black, looked towards him.

       The tall man leaned into his ear and said something unknown.

       Ling Xiao’s cold face showed a slightly surprised look, and then he looked at Song Jun and said, “Are you really Chunjun?”

Chapter 20 – Confinement

       When Lin Hui noticed that Zhuo Yue’s hand holding the cup was trembling unconsciously, he finally couldn’t bear it anymore and dialled Fang Mingyan’s number.

       The drama of the TV series finally came to an end, and Lin Hui drove him back to his apartment.

       Zhuo Yue leaned in the back seat in a daze; his head was groggy and exhausted even though he was resting. It wasn’t until the car left the city centre that he noticed something wrong with the route and asked, “Where are we going?”

       Lin Hui spoke hesitantly, “Chairman Fang said he wanted to see you.”

       Zhuo Yue froze and frowned, “Did you tell him about me taking some medicine?”

       “Ge, I can’t see you going on like this.” Lin Hui gritted his teeth helplessly, “Those medicines are bad for your health, you can’t take them anymore.”

       The person in the back seat was quiet for a long time and said softly, “He can’t help me.”

       When Zhuo Yue stepped into Hanguan No. 15, Fang Mingyan frowned slightly.

       He had lost weight all over; the flesh he had gained at this place was all gone, his chin sharpened, his face devoid of any colour, and the vitality in his black eyes was gone entirely, leaving them empty and lifeless.

       “Chairman Fang.” Lin Hui greeted in a low voice.

       “I’ll give you a week’s leave.” Fang Mingyan, who was wearing a loose-knitted sweater, put down the stack of documents in his hand and said, “He has been staying at my place recently. I have already asked Shen Luo to cancel all his recent schedules. Please go and verify.”

       Lin Hui responded, secretly looking at the face of the person next to him and whispering, “Ge, I’m leaving first.”

       Zhuo Yue did not respond and just stood quietly. After Lin Hui left, he looked at the man in front of him and said, “There is nothing wrong with my body.”

       “It’s not up to you to decide.”

       “It’s not up to you to decide either.” Zhuo Yue frowned, “You have no right to cancel my schedule without permission.”

       Fang Mingyan looked at him calmly, “The contract you signed stated that the company designated all your activities. As the current president of the company, I don’t think I don’t have that right.”

       “That doesn’t make…any sense at all!”

       “Whether it makes sense or not, you have no right to object. From today on, you will be under my direct control. The company will not arrange any itinerary for you without my permission.” Fang Mingyan’s uncompromising attitude left no room for negotiation.

       “It took a lot of effort for me to gain my current popularity. What’s the difference between doing this and ruining me?” He gritted his teeth and asked.

       There was a joking smile in the man’s dark eyes, “It doesn’t need to be so complicated to destroy you. I just need to find a doctor to issue a mental evaluation of you. An artist with psychological issues, dependent on addictive drugs to control his emotions—who else do you think would be willing to film with you?”

       Zhuo Yue’s heart trembled, and there was a bit of panic in his eyes.

       “In the next period of time, I will handle your problems my way. During this process, I need your absolute cooperation.” Fang Mingyan said slowly, “I will no longer treat you with the courtesy of a landlord treating a tenant. I am your master, in control of you, and you, as my sub, are at my disposal.”

       As Zhuo Yue’s mind flashed with the image of Nick crying out in climax, his face suddenly flushed red. He muttered ‘boring’ under his breath and turned to leave. The door wasn’t locked, but just five minutes after he pushed it open, he was intercepted by two tall security guards and forcefully escorted back in front of the man.

       The two of them bowed and said, “Mr Ming, according to your request for full-day perimeter surveillance and repatriation services, we have returned your guest.”

       “Quite efficient.” The man said with a leisurely smile, “It seems that this guest has been leaving without permission quite frequently recently.”

       “We will focus on surveillance and assign special personnel to patrol outside your residence.” After saying this, the two of them nodded and left without saying a single unnecessary word. They were very well-trained.

       Fang Mingyan looked at him calmly, “Are you going to cooperate, or are you going to continue to resist?”

       “I’m not interested in playing that ridiculous game.” As soon as Zhuo Yue finished speaking, the man grabbed his wrist and pulled him straight upstairs. The other party’s strength was astonishing, and his resistance was completely futile. He was clumsily dragged up to the fourth floor and then had his arms locked into handcuffs hanging from the beam while his legs were bound to the semi-circular steel ring set into the floor.

       He roared angrily, “Fang Mingyan! Are you crazy? This is illegal detention!”

       The man approached slowly, standing before him. There was still a cynical smile playing at the corner of his lips, but his eyes, as deep as the night, held no trace of amusement, emitting a solemn and chilling aura.

       He didn’t care about the charge of ‘illegal detention’ at all, but he really wanted to lock him up here.

       Zhuo Yue, who was restrained by the shackles, felt cold all over, and there was a hint of compromise in his tone, “…let me go, I will go to the hospital and stop taking the medicine.” Seeing that the other party was unmoved, he gritted his teeth and said, “Even if you lock me here and give me hundreds of lashes, I won’t comply.”

       “You don’t necessarily need to use a whip to make people obey.” Fang Mingyan said calmly, “I have many faster ways to make you obey my rules. Today we will try the fastest one.” With that, he turned and walked to the side of the door. Something was covered with cloth, with only a triangular frame visible underneath the fabric.

       Zhuo Yue looked at the outline of the thing and intuitively had a bad feeling in his heart. He shook his head hastily and said, “Don’t…”

       However, the moment he made the sound, the man had already raised his hand and pulled off the grey velvet fabric covering it.

       A camera with a dark lens was pointed squarely at him.

       His blood seemed to solidify.

       It felt like a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured directly over him in the midst of winter. His body was frozen stiff by the irresistible cold, devoid of sensation. His breathing became heavier and heavier, and his neck felt as if someone had choked him, making him unable to breathe. That dark lens was entangled with his nightmares, wielding a blade of torment and burying his deepest fears within him. The continuous suppression and excessive medication hadn’t made it disappear; instead, the madness grew and spread wildly, entangling him tightly and dragging him deeper into darkness.

       Medicine…

       He needed the medicine; he wanted to escape, but at this moment, he could only be trapped in place, forced to face the dark lens, unable to do anything.

       “Let me go, let’s talk…” Zhuo Yue tried his best to calm down, but there was an uncontrollable tremor in his voice.

       “There is no need for us to talk before you agree to obey my rules.” The man turned on the camera, and the green indicator light appeared.

       The machine was turned on.

       Then, the electronic screen in front of Zhuo Yue also lit up, and what was displayed on it was a picture of him captured by the camera in real-time.

       “Do you like the way you are tied up?” Fang Mingyan raised the corners of his lips, “Besides that one, there’s a camera in each of the four corners of the room, and they’re all covered now. Until I hear the answers I want, I’ll activate one every twenty minutes.”

       Zhuo Yue turned pale and said intermittently, “You can’t do this… Fang Mingyan, you can’t do this…”

       “I’ll give you plenty of time to think it over without interruption. When you have an answer, you can call me at any time.” After saying that, he neatly left, leaving Zhuo Yue alone in the ‘cage’.

       The sky outside the window was hazy, and there were no lights on in the room, making the whole space look gloomy and dark.

       The camera was like a huge black eye socket that had been hollowed out, staring blankly at him, with a strange green light glowing from time to time. He closed his eyes and tried to hypnotise himself, but such self-deception didn’t work at all. Fear, like a swarm of tiny insects, emerged from the depths of his heart, gnawing away at his sanity, inching him closer to despair.

       The mental oppression brought about a chain reaction in the body, and as time passed, little by little, the trembling became more and more intense. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and his throat was filled with a bitter and sour taste. He began to retch, unexpected dizziness followed, and the image in front of his eyes appeared as a shaky shadow.

       “Fang Mingyan!” Zhuo Yue shouted the man’s name in a hoarse voice. When he saw him appearing in front of him again, he begged sadly, “I need to take medicine, give me medicine… I will die if this continues… “

       Fang Mingyan’s eyes were very indifferent. He spread his right hand, and there was a small white medicine bottle in his palm containing the pills that Zhuo Yue had been taking. “Want it?” he asked.

       Just like a thirsty traveller in the desert seeing a clear spring, Zhuo Yue looked at the medicine bottle with trembling eyes and nodded his head.

       The man unscrewed the cap and slowly tilted the bottle under Zhuo Yue’s gaze. The white pills fell to the ground one after another, making a slight sound. When the bottle was empty, he threw it on the ground, turned to the left corner, pulled off the covering, and started the second camera.

       Despair enveloped everything, and Zhuo Yue began to struggle like crazy.

       “Fang Mingyan! Believe it or not, I will kill you!” He screamed with red eyes and pulled the chain loudly. However, the special steel shackles were indestructible, and the thick soft rubber wrapped in the inner ring only added some faint red marks on his wrists and ankles. Lack of sleep and dependence on drugs nearly emptied his body. After struggling for a while, he lost strength and hung his head, breathing heavily.

       He didn’t dare to raise his eyes to look at the two machines. The fear he felt was like that of someone afraid of heights standing thousands of meters above ground, of someone afraid of snakes being wrapped by a python, of someone afraid of darkness walking in pitch-black night, or of someone afraid of ghosts passing through a vast graveyard. Every time he saw a camera, he felt like he was back in that moment of he was molested, plunged once again into that despair and helplessness.

       The quiet, enclosed space intensified these emotions.

       The nightmares were everywhere, like maggots attached to bones.

       Excessive fear finally crushed his spirit. He vomited uncontrollably, cursed, screamed, and laughed nervously, venting all his pent-up emotions like a true psycho. Finally, he burst into tears—like a trapped animal that had given up its struggle, trembling in a snare, sad and helpless.

       The light was fading, and in the dim room, he could vaguely make out the outline of the person in front of him through his tear-blurred eyes. He lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, “Please… let me go…”

       The man raised his chin, “I need an answer.”

       At this moment, Zhuo Yue was exhausted. He trembled and said, “I can do anything… please, let me go…”

       “Okay, the contract is established from now on.” Fang Mingyan unlocked his shackles. Due to his arms being suspended, Zhuo Yue couldn’t bend over, and there was a lot of vomit stuck to his lapel. However, the man seemed oblivious to it, holding him in his arms and carrying him away from that terrifying room.

       Many years later, Zhuo Yue still clearly remembers that evening.

       The man who held him in his arms said earnestly, “Zhuo Yue, I will make you feel better.”

Chapter 39 – The Bloom (3)

       Zhongyan didn’t have rhinestones on his body today, so he didn’t react for a long time when he was called upon. The dragon blinked, looked up at Moschery, and then turned his head to stare at Kyle.

       The guide smiled faintly at it. It was obvious that he could see it.

       “No need to feel offended,” Kyle’s smile was gentle; he had an East Asian face, but his hair was silver, “I’m just like you.”

       Zhongyan lay on the ground in a defensive posture and suddenly roared angrily when the other party’s guiding tendrils approached.

       The dragon spread its black wings fiercely, and the glass on all sides of the reception room was directly shaken by the airflow and shattered to the ground.

       “Don’t touch it with your dirty hands.” Moschery glanced coldly at the face of the other person who resembled Qin Yun and said with disgust, “Go back to where you came from and don’t let me see you again.”

       Kyle withdrew his guiding tendrils and raised his eyebrows without showing any embarrassment, “I didn’t mean anything else, Your Majesty. You are also born as a god-level. I think you also need…”

       Moschery interrupted him coldly, “I don’t need it.” He took off his military hat, and the dragon eyes behind the mask slowly became a straight line, “You are not a god-level at all.”

       “Just a defective product.” His Majesty the Emperor sneered mockingly, “You are not qualified to talk to me.”

 

       When she learned that Qin Yun was leaving, Bixi could not help but have words written all over her face, such as ‘paying more attention to a lover than his own mother’, ‘forgetting your mother when they have a wife’ and ‘I know you can’t help but be lustful, little seductress!”

       “…” Qin Yun handed over the invitation, “Will you go back with me to attend the wedding?”

       Bixi hummed. She opened the invitation and saw what Moschery had written, and her expression was surprised, “This is…”

       “Very romantic, isn’t it?” Qin Yun smiled stupidly and raked his hair, “His Majesty is very kind to me and is a sweet talker… Well, he is also virtuous.”

       “…” Bixi: “Isn’t this what you should do?”

       Qin Yun was stunned, “I do them too… I coax him when he is angry.” After a pause, he felt a little depressed, “Although sometimes he gets angry for no reason…”

       Bixi: “…With a husband as incomprehensible as you, I’m probably going to be irritable all the time.”

       Qin Yun: “??”

 

       Tristana was in a bad mood while video chatting with the Secretary of State. The female general wanted to poke his face with her finger, “You just let them stay like that?! Blow them away! How does that old song go again… I’ll send you away! A thousand miles away!1it’s actually Jay Chou’s Song-Faraway

       Lin Dongliang was helpless, “The peace treaty is still valid, and we have no right to intervene during a normal state visit.”

       “How is this normal?” Tristana gritted her teeth, “What do they want to do by sending a god-level person here?! Bullying our Qin Yun for not having the ability to guide?! That Kyle is a better Queen?! Oh my!”

       Lin Dongliang was amused by her, “Calm down… His Majesty certainly wouldn’t do anything to him.”

       Tristana crossed her arms and grunted.

       “Skarter has already gone to check.” Lin Dongliang said seriously, “Olympus has always been persistent in researching the gene cloning of god-level guides. It is the first time in so many years that a guide with a god-level gene fusion rate of more than 80% has appeared, which can be said to be a miracle.”

       Tristana frowned, “80%?! So high…”

       “That’s right.” Lin Dongliang nodded, “If Helu is still here, he may really become the Queen of the Empire. Unfortunately, it’s His Highness who is in power now.”

       Tristana remained silent. Everyone knew that Helu’s god-level gene fusion rate was only 65%. In recent decades, the god-level gene lineage of the Issa royal family has been degenerating. Generations of replication have caused the fusion rate of Sentinel to fluctuate below 80%, until Moschery’s birth.

       Although Helu was weak and incompetent, he was not stupid. He knew that the Cabinet’s political system was stubborn and conservative but unable to change, so he used the gene of the first-generation god-level sentinel to clone his son without telling everyone.

 

       “The only way to change powerful things is to be stronger than them.” Helu once said this while holding the young Moschery under the wisteria trellis. Even if the genes of the first-generation god-level sentinel were used, Because of his bloodline, Moschery still could not be 100% integrated.

       The gene backfired, causing one of Moschery’s eyes to turn into a ‘dragon’s eye’, and the lack of strength prevented his spiritual link from showing its full form in the quantum space. No one except himself and his father could see that hideous dragon.

       During his adolescent period, His Majesty was once resentful about his heritage, but as he grew older, he finally understood the meaning behind Helu’s words back then.

       His father may not have given him love, but in the end, he gave him the courage to love.

 

       “You are just a defective product whose fusion rate has just reached 80%.” Moschery took off half of the mask on his face and stared at Kyle coldly with his golden-red dragon eyes, “You don’t even have the so-called god-level spiritual link.”

       The smile on Kyle’s face gradually faded. As Moschery said, he could only integrate 80% of the god-level guide gene. Not only that, but the gene backfired and caused complete blindness in his right eye, with no pupil and only a golden white.

       But no matter what, he was the only guide in Olympus with a degree of integration above 50% in the past hundred years, and he was one of the few who has survived adulthood.

       “Your Majesty.” Kyle sighed. He imitated Moschery’s actions and removed the mask on his face, looking at him with his only visible eye, “But after all, you and I are equal. Only I can see your dragon, right?”

       “You don’t have a suitable guide by your side right now.” Kyle is confident that Moschery will accept him. After all, there were very few gods-level. “It’s impossible to have someone immune to your pheromones, and you wouldn’t want to be overwhelmed by mania one day, causing irreversible consequences, right?”

       “Ha.” Moschery’s face was full of sarcasm, “Then you try it.”

       “Look at your mental power.” His Majesty the Emperor stretched out a finger, tapped his temple, and said coldly, “Can you unblock my consciousness cloud?”

 

       Upon learning that Olympus had sent a god-level guide, Chen Xiao’s first reaction was, “It won’t be a 100% match, right? If the guide makes a move, and our Majesty responds… what if they publicly emit Bonding Heat?!”

       Qin Yun: “…”

       Tristana: “…I really want to take off my underwear and stuff it in your mouth!”

       Chen Xiao glared at her: “My worries are completely warranted, okay! Sentinel and guide were naturally attracted to each other from the beginning!”

       Tristana was about to curse him again when she heard a click. Qin Yun loaded a high-energy cannon and carried it on his shoulder with one hand.

       “…” Tristana hugged Chen Xiao and quickly stepped back a meter…

       “??” Qin Yun was confused, “I just plan to carry it to the spaceship… We’ll set off tonight, right?”

       “Yes, yes, yes!” The female general immediately threw her sentinel aside in disgust, and the latter leaned on Qin Yun’s shoulder with a look of overwhelming regret.

       “It’s too much…” Chen Xiao mockingly cried in a mournful tone, “I only just touched little canon girl’s hand a little… Wuwuwuwuwu!”

       Qin Yun said calmly, “It’s okay. When I get back, I will issue a decree to have you both in relationship.” After a pause, he looked at Chen Xiao with some uncertainty, “Does the Queen have this right?”

       Tristana: “…”
