The two of them were silent at first after they left the Underworld. Meng Po's words became a knot in their hearts. Even though they had different thoughts, they were both thinking of the same man.
During break time, Xie Bi An gnawed
on the meat bun in his hand and glanced at Fan Wu She, who did not say
anything. After a long time, he said, "Wu She, why didn't you say anything
along the way?"
Fan Wu She raised his eyes slightly
and smiled lightly, "Aren't you also the same? What are you thinking
about?"
"I'm thinking about so many things." Xie Bi An paused, "I'm thinking about that secret passage Jiang Qu Lian left. Should we tell Official Lord Cui first, even if we leave a note?"
"It's better for Master to decide this matter. Jiang Qu Lian is the Ghost King, his power in Jiuyou should not be underestimated. If we act recklessly and provoke him to take desperate action, there is no telling what effect it will have on Jiuyou, or even on earth."
"Sigh, that's true. I'm just worried. What if he finds out when he gets back and destroys the evidence?"
"The underground palace has been
destroyed by us like that. It's only a matter of time before he finds out, but
that secret passage, however, is not that easy to block."
Xie Bi An nodded, "Jiang Qu Lian will most likely be able to guess that we did it. By then ..."
"It doesn't have to be by then. Jiang Qu Lian stole master's magical treasure. As a prison warden and secretly leaving a secret passage to Hell, that's already enough for us to have irreconcilable differences with him."
"Yes, let's go to Great Emperor
Ji Kang and complain to him, so that Official Lord Cui can punish him with the
laws of the underworld."
The sound of horses' hooves was heard
from far to near on the official road, and someone shouted "Let's fight
the demonic woman together".
The two were eating and resting halfway up the mountain. When they heard the sound and looked down. With their enhanced vision and hearing, they saw a group of people rushing.
"This time, the Immortal
Alliance is besieging Qi Meng Sheng with Heaven Master Zhong and Alliance Master Li. We probably will never see such a battle again in our
lifetime."
"Yeah, Alliance Master Li called on all the heroes to gather at Shen Nong Ding to fight against the demonic woman. What a spectacle this is. I wonder if the major sects' crusade against the Supreme Demon in Zhangyang a hundred years ago was as big as today's spectacle."
"The demonic woman is no match for the Supreme Demon. With a single military talisman in his hand, the Supreme Demon summoned thousands of Yin soldiers and stirred up the human and ghost realms. Without Heaven Master Zhong's Eastern Emperor's Bell, the hole in the Fengdu boundary could not even be blocked now. Qi Meng Sheng is nothing. With only those bunch of pussies and the two second-rankings, who behave neither like a man or woman, from the Cangyu Sect under her, how can she be a match for our Immortal Alliance?"
Vulgar laughter erupted from the
crowd.
"Everyone ah, take advantage of
this siege and destroy the Cangyu Sect. We will inevitably get a few ice
crystals, which are great goodies."
"Yeah, yeah, we must get the ice
crystals this time."
Xie Bi An frowned as he listened. Looking
at this group of people, some of them probably are not even cultivators. They just
want to rush to Kunlun to loot a burning house*. Li Bu Yu’s order to the
alliance had indeed brought in heroes from all four directions, but many of
them had come to fish in troubled waters*.
"This group of people will only
be sent to their deaths if they go." Fan Wu She said with despise.
Xie Bi An shook his head, "Let's
hope they won’t be more of a hindrance than a help."
The two of them flew with their
swords around the clock and arrived at Shazhou the next night.
The last time they had come to Shazhou, they had traveled with their master and even met Lan Chui Han. No one had expected that so much would happen in Kunlun. That Lan Chui Han would be captured and injured, that master would surrender his Qingfeng Sword, and he would learn that he was the reincarnation of Emperor Kong Hua. Everything seems to be being manipulated by an invisible hand of fate. Those characters who stirred up the storm a hundred years ago are once again reunited. Is this just a coincidence?
This feeling of walking step by step into a conspiracy is always following Xie Bi An, especially when he learned that his golden core is being coveted by everyone. He knows he should hide in the underworld and not come out, avoiding the limelight to protect himself, but he cannot do it because there are people he wants to protect more than himself.
The two of them spent the night in an
inn in Shazhou, preparing to leave the Pass early tomorrow morning and travel
across the snowy plains of Kunlun.
Late at night, Xie Bi An was nestled
in Fan Wu She's arms, unable to close his eyes for a long time.
The hand around his waist suddenly
tightened, bringing his back closer to the warmth of Fan Wu She's chest. The
hand was as strong as ever, and that chest grew wider and thicker, so that it
could envelop him entirely.
In the blink of an eye, it had been
almost two years since Fan Wu She had come to his side. The boy who had been so
young had now taken on the appearance of a man, even taller than him when standing
up straight. Most importantly, his junior brother is extremely dependable and
has brought him out of danger countless times. With this in mind, he took the
hand that was wrapped around his waist and intertwined his fingers with it.
"Can't sleep?" Fan Wu She whispered, his hot breath spraying lightly on Xie Bi An's neck.
"Mmm." Xie Bi An knew that not only could he not sleep, he also didn't dare to sleep. Ever since he woke up from that dream of his past life, he was afraid that if he fell asleep he would go back to a hundred years ago again. No matter how many times he recited the Pure Mind Technique, those vivid memories would not disappear, and the feeling of being violated by Zong Zi Xiao could come and attack him at any time. He could suppress it when he was awake, but once he fell asleep, the memory fragments will act randomly without purpose, as if they were itching to take over his entire territory.
"Is it you don’t dare to sleep?"
Xie Bi An was silent for a moment, turned around, and faced Fan Wu She. He nodded gently, and then lowered his eyes, letting his long eyelashes cast shadows on his face, speaking silently of his worries.
In Fan Wu She's eyes, this look was
only pitiful. He did not hesitate to take Xie Bi An’s lips, kissing them tenderly
and unsparingly, sucking on the soft lips and teasing the tip of the wet
tongue, a kiss so tender that both of them were moved.
"Okay, okay." Xie Bi An
gently pushed Fan Wu She away and whispered, "I can't breathe
anymore."
Fan Wu She sipped his slightly red
and swollen lips, "Senior brother, I like kissing you so much. Your taste
is sweet."
"Nonsense." Xie Bi An's
face heated up, "No one is sweet."
"Yes. You are." Fan Wu
She's hand stroked down Xie Bi An's back all the way to his hip line, finally
boldly caressing the gathered mound of his buttocks as he licked Xie Bi An's
lips and chin, "The rest of senior brother’s body must be sweet too, I
want to taste it so badly."
"Why do you think about this all
day long?" Xie Bi An was so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to hide
or not, but he was trapped in Fan Wu She’s arms.
"Because you're in front of me
all the time." Fan Wu She bit Xie Bi An's collarbone, "When will
senior brother be my man?"
Xie Bi An held Fan Wu She's head and forced him to lift it up, saying somewhat shyly but very seriously, "Wu She, senior brother likes you, and such things are not worth being pretentious about. It's just that I am hung up on master and am not in such a mood."
Fan Wu She looked deeply into Xie Bi
An's eyes, "I know why you don't dare to sleep, you are afraid that once
you close your eyes, you will become Zong Zi Heng, right?"
Xie Bi An nodded gloomily.
"You're afraid of seeing Zong Zi
Xiao in your dreams, carrying my face."
Xie Bi An nodded again.
Fan Wu She gently lifted his chin:
"Let me make a deeper impression on you, so that your body and heart will
only remember me, okay?"
"..."
"I want you to actually
experience it, the pleasure I give you, and you will only remember me."
Fan Wu She flipped over and pressed on Xie Bi An, his gaze like a torch, "Senior
brother, you will only remember me, okay?"
"I ..."
Fan Wu She kissed his lips again.

The boundary between the ghost and human worlds being mentioned here just reminded me that I thought the shady guy who was supposedly a fortune teller only wanted ZZH to die, thus sending him to the underworld where he could be besieged by the ghosts. But it could also have been because they saw the relationship between ZZH and ZZX and guessed that ZZX would go mad and try to get ZZH's soul back from the underworld, thus breaking the seal between the two worlds. So they wanted the soul of ZZH and the boundary between worlds to be broken.
ReplyDeleteSince I assume now that person might have been this JQL, seeing how he also had a path to hell under his bedroom, it is obvious what his goal was - unifying the two worlds and reigning over them, even ascending.
