Chapter 201

Risking his life to steal the Supreme Demon out of hell, and now going so far as to become an enemy of the entire underworld, just to be reborn as a human?!

Because of the lack of Yin and Yang harmony, Yin cultivation is indeed more rugged than Yang cultivation, but with Jiang Qu Lian's several hundred years of cultivation, how many people on earth can be compared to him? Reincarnating as a human means he has to give up all of his cultivation, power and status in Jiuyou, and turn into a toothless baby, starting from scratch again. Plus, natural talent cannot be chosen at all, and he may have roots that are so poor that he has no immortal fate. This is the worst choice no matter how one looks at it.

"Do you believe him?" Xie Bi An frowned deeply.

"At first, I did not believe it, but that's what he said. Later, knowing that he came to earth so frequently, I guessed that maybe it was for someone."

"For 'someone'?"

Fan Wu She mocked, "You don't believe that a person dares to become an enemy of the Way of Heaven for the sake of another person, do you?"

"..."

"You naturally don't believe it." Fan Wu She turned his face away. The chamber of his heart throbbed with pain, and his voice was cold, "Who has really been in your heart?"

Xie Bi An felt ridiculous, but he could not laugh: "Now that your plan has failed, master did not use the Eastern Emperor Bell up until his death, what else do you want?"

"The Eastern Emperor Bell is not anyone's exclusive magical treasure. Just because Zhong Kui is dead, it doesn't mean that there is no one else who can control the Eastern Emperor Bell."

"Who?"

Fan Wu She did not answer, instead he said, "No one can stop me from getting back the Xuanyuan Heavenly Secret Talisman."

"What about after getting the Heavenly Secret Talisman?"

Fan Wu She was silent.

"You said you don't want my core, so what exactly do you want to do by keeping me here?"

"You are mine, so naturally you have to be with me." Fan Wu She said without changing his expression.

Xie Bi An's pupils were cold: "Get out."

"This is my bedroom, I won't go out, and you can't go out either."

Xie Bi An's body leaned back defensively, even though there was no one going near him.

Fan Wu She hesitated for a moment and still walked over, but Xie Bi An immediately retreated.

"... Senior brother."

"Don't call me 'senior brother'." Xie Bi An said viciously.

"I'm going to say it no matter what."

"You don't deserve it."

Fan Wu She looked astonished and whispered, "You like me, right? You said it yourself."

"That was just a hoax. The person I like does not exist." Xie Bi An's eyes reddened as he remembered the past two years.

"Does, not, exist." Fan Wu She revealed a miserable smile, "Back then you said Xiao Jiu did not exist, now you say Fan Wu She does not exist. You can always easily erase my existence."

"You are the one who erased them." Xie Bi An lowered his head, desolated to the extreme, "It was you."

Fan Wu She dragged Xie Bi An into his arms.

"Let go of me!" Xie Bi An growled and struggled, but was held in a deadly grip by two iron arms.

"I miss you so much." Fan Wu She drew a breath and said, almost gritting his teeth, "I think about you every day, the same as the previous life, the same as those hundred years. I really hate that I just can't let go of you."

Xie Bi An's eyes stared vacantly at the black and red stone wall.

"If only you hadn't remembered. It would have been better if you hadn't remembered." Fan Wu She murmured and repeated these words. His warm cheek was pressed against Xie Bi An's, feeding his soul with every ounce of warmth he drew from the other's skin.

The two hearts seem to be able to perceive each other through the clothes, through the flesh, and through the ribs, beating repeatedly and continuously. Like a back and forth conversation, telling their feelings silently, which were far more honest than the lips and tongue, but no one dared to open their heart to reveal their shining hearts of this moment.

Fan Wu She let go of Xie Bi An and left with quick steps.

As if his energy had been withdrawn from his body, Xie Bi An staggered and sat down. His eyes were hot. He felt sad, and a sharp pain kept coming from his temple.

One "senior brother" evoked unending memories for him. His heart had already fallen and moved by love. He felt happy and sweet because he thought of that person, and because of the physical touch which made him lose himself in passionate love. All that they experienced between them have left a mark on him from the inside out that could never be erased.

In his previous life, towards Zong Zi Xiao he only had the fear of being forced and the shame of going against virtue, even though his body had been taught* to have no choice but to submit, but there was not a moment when his heart was not resisting. But in this life ... in this life Zong Zi Xiao approached him with a shell that left him defenseless, taking advantage of the knowledge of him and played with his feelings in the palm of his hand. When he offered up his trust and heart without retention, he then realized it was a complete scam.

He was resentful and angry, but he also liked someone he should not have liked at all.

After sitting rigidly in pain and distress for a long time, a flash of light suddenly flashed through Xie Bi An’s mind, and he caught it just in time. He knew why this rocky soil looked familiar, and he knew where he was now --- Fumenghui.

----

Jiang Qu Lian picking Fumenghui as a hiding place was a move that was both dangerous and good. Official Lord Cui had sent countless Yin servants to look for them, but they were only 20 to 30 miles away from Fengdu City, and Fumenghui has crooks mixed together with honest folk, and was known as a lawless place in Jiuzhou continent, where no power would enter casually. To find a person here at this place is simply as difficult as ascending to heaven.

It was hard for Cui Jue to think that Jiang Qu Lian and Fan Wu She would be hiding under his nose.**

Xie Bi An knew that there were many Yin servants patrolling in Fumenghui, but he couldn't sense any of them, so he was obviously sealed in a boundary. Without Wuqiongbi, he couldn't contact the Yin servants.

What about Day Patrol and Night Patrol? Can they find Jiang Qu Lian?

Xie Bi An also tried to escape, but it’s naturally in vain. Comparing this situation to the time in Chidi City now, he didn’t know which is more dangerous.

Fan Wu She, who hadn't shown up for a few days, arrived at the sound of the noise. He glanced at the wreckage in the house: "You can't escape. Don't waste your energy."

"Is this Fumenghui?" Xie Bi An panted and stared at him.

"Yes."

"What are you guys plotting and why do we have to hide here?"

Fan Wu She said expressionlessly, "I injured my chakra in Chidi City and had been recuperating here previously. The more dangerous the place is, the safer it is, and most importantly, this place is close to the Yin Yang Monument."

"What do you want to do? You guys want to go back to the Underworld?"

"Nonsense. If we don't go back to the Underworld, how can we get the Heavenly Secret Talisman?" Fan Wu She slowly approached Xie Bi An, "When the time comes, I need you to guide me."

Xie Bi An clenched his fist, "I won't guide you!"

"You have no choice." Fan Wu She stood in front of Xie Bi An and gently clamped his chin, "When I get the Heavenly Secret Talisman, no one in this world would dare to be my enemy."

Xie Bi An grasped that hand and opened it.

Fan Wu She’s gaze sank. He grabbed Xie Bi An’s shoulders and pressed him against the wall. His powerful thighs squeezed between Xie Bi An’s legs, making him unable to escape anywhere.

There is a hint of panic hidden in Xie Bi An’s eyes that were forced to be calm.

"When I was your junior brother, I still had to cajole you for a kiss, but you would kiss me willingly, and I was willing to play along with you." Fan Wu She slowly brushed his thumb over Xie Bi An’s lower lip. A layer of delicate feathered eyelashes blocking his gloomy gaze, but the chilling breath still leaked out from his mouth, “Just that I don’t feel satisfied enough. I spent so much effort, and only fucked you once. I was even scared of hurting you, scared of frightening you, which wasn’t really enjoyable. If I could be like last time, stripping off your clothes whenever and wherever, fucking you however I want, letting your lower body sucking my baby when you’re eating, sleeping and meeting people, wouldn’t that be delightful?"

Xie Bi An's face instantly went pale. How was his body humiliated and dallied with last time, he had never forgotten any of the scenes. He knew that this person in front of him could do what he said, no matter how crazy and absurd things ...

Fan Wu She lowered his head, and kissed Xie Bi An very tenderly: "Right now, my wisdom is not being eroded by Yin energy. I want you, but I can restrain myself. If you are smart, then don’t provoke me."

Xie Bi An's shoulders slumped senselessly. He knew what the consequences of resisting this person were. He had already learned countless lessons in his previous life. It was the face in front of him that was full of teenage spirit. It was the gentle consideration that he had once received from Fan Wu She that made him ignore the soul wrapped under this skin that belonged to Zong Zi Xiao.

The sudden quietness of Xie Bi An made Fan Wu She frown. He should be satisfied with this tameness, but when he saw the look of Zong Zi Heng from Xie Bi An's face as well, his heart only had endless sadness. All the lust that had risen a moment before had vanished.

A thin layer of pain surfaced on Fan Wu She's face as he whispered, "Don't show this expression. I won't treat you like I did before, as long as you don't anger me."

"What are you going to do, lock me up for life?" Xie Bi An said calmly.

"Wait until I get the Heavenly Secret Talisman and all of Jiuzhou will be in my palm. I won't lock you up, and you won't be able to escape." Fan Wu She smoothed Xie Bi An's black hair, "Whether you resent me or hate me, you can't leave me. We are destined to be entangled for life."

"What if I said I would kill you to avenge my master's death?" Xie Bi An's gaze condensed, "You still dare to keep me around?"

Fan Wu She's hand paused, "Why didn't you find the opportunity to kill me in your previous life?"

Xie Bi An looked at him motionlessly.

"It's that you didn't dare, because you knew that once you failed, you couldn’t bear the consequences." Fan Wu She said with a fake smile, "So the answer is, I dare. Even if I die ten thousand times, I still want to crawl out of hell and keep you by my side."

Xie Bi An silently lowered his eyes, and his eyes were full of deep pain.

Why didn’t he find the opportunity to kill him in the previous life? Of course it’s not because he didn't dare, but because he couldn't do it. If he could be unsympathetic and ready to punish his own family member if justice demands it, just like how the rumors spread in the world, would everything be different today?

Perhaps not, because as Fan Wu She said, he will return from hell.

----

That night, the two of them shared the same bed. Just like before, Fan Wu She did not do anything extra except hugging Xie Bi An, just that the two of them had their own thoughts, and neither could fall asleep.

Xie Bi An knew what Fan Wu She and Jiang Qu Lian were plotting. The ultimate goal is to get the Xuanyuan Heavenly Secret Talisman, but to get the Heavenly Secret Talisman, there are two very difficult hurdles to overcome. The first is to return to the Underworld safely. The second is to move the Eastern Emperor Bell. Both of these sound like a fantasy story.

Returning to the underworld is not difficult. The difficulty was avoiding the inescapable net laid by Cui Jue, and the East Emperor Bell. After Zhong Kui’s death, who else in this world can control this ancient divine treasure?

Looking back, to liberate the Heavenly Secret Talisman from the suppression of the Eastern Emperor Bell, Jiang Qu Lian's plan was the only viable one. Zhong Kui would never use the Eastern Emperor Bell for the sake of his own life or death, but if it was to save the world, to sacrifice everything, the end would be such an end.

Xie Bi An couldn't think of anything else they could do, but seeing that Fan Wu She didn't have the slightest intention of backing down, he became more worried that Jiang Qu Lian would have unexpected tricks.

On this day, not long after Fan Wu She left, Jiang Qu Lian appeared.

Ever since Xie Bi An was imprisoned here, he had not seen Jiang Qu Lian again, and he did not hide his hatred and killing intent towards the eerie and evil ghost king in red.

Jiang Qu Lian leaned on the wall with his arms crossed. Those red clothes were like blood dripping out of the black and red rocky soil.

There are too many mysterious theories about the cause of Fumenghui. The most widely circulated is that it was the result of the solidification of thousands of Yin soldiers in the Fengdu great battle, but the Yin soldiers are all undead, so how could they solidify into a mountain rock? But the black soil mixed with red, it’s no doubt it's the color of blood. This place is concentrated with Yin energy. Even the Chunyang Sect’s people will feel uncomfortable when they come here.

"What do you want to do?" Xie Bi An said in a cold voice.

"To ask you some questions."

"You think I will answer your questions?"

"If you answer well, I can tell you about Zhong Kui’s situation."

Xie Bi An fiercely clenched his fist, and his gaze grew colder.

"Lan Zhong Ming, the old pavilion master of Xianyue Pavilion, used to be your adopted son, right? Whose bloodline is he really from?"

Xie Bi An was stunned. He thought Jiang Qu Lian would ask about the Eastern Emperor Bell. In fact, he knew very little about the Eastern Emperor Bell, but whatever he knew he could not tell Jiang Qu Lian, but he never expected Jiang Qu Lian to ask a question that seemed unrelated to him.

Why would he ask about Zhong Ming's birth origins?

The expression on Jiang Qu Lian’s face was incomprehensible: "He is not your son, right? You have not conferred a queen or a concubine, and with your character, it is not like you to have any love affair."

"Why do you ask about him? How do you know he's my adopted son?"

"You secretly raised him in the palace back then. Few people knew about this ‘prince’. Later you sent him out of the palace, and gave him your Junlan sword. I investigated for a long time based on some clues, and only then did I roughly understand your relationship with him." Jiang Qu Lian stared straight at Xie Bi An, "Say, whose bloodline does he belong to?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"You don't need to know."

"If you don't tell me, then don't think I'll tell you either."

Jiang Qu Lian raised his eyebrows, "Impermanence, you've been like this since you were a child, looking gentle and well-behaved, yet stubborn as hell. Obviously you’re afraid of me, yet you still pretend you’re not, and you still think you're really an underworld general who can be no match for me? Always so unadaptable to current circumstances."

"I might have been a little afraid of you last time." Xie Bi An looked at Jiang Qu Lian. His eyes were showing a cold aura, "Now I just want to make your soul scatter."

Jiang Qu Lian sneered twice: "You better have that ability. I advise you to answer honestly, otherwise your master, who has just been reincarnated, still a baby in swaddling clothes ..."

Xie Bi An glared up fiercely, "You dare!"

"Answer my question."

Xie Bi An pursed his lips, "Huaying Sect. Ever heard of it?"

"Seems like I've heard of it."

"Huaying Sect was also once a famous sect in the immortal cultivation world. Back then, it was exterminated by the Wuyun Sect. Zhong Ming was the son of Huaying Sect's young master Hua Jun Cheng."

"Why did you adopt his son?"

Xie Bi An’s heart sank as he thought of someone: "I had a ... friendship with Hua Jun Cheng's sister."

"Where is the Huaying Sect located?"

"Jiangnan." Xie Bi An asked, "What do you really want to do? What is your relationship with Zhong Ming?"

Jiang Qu Lian did not answer. He just slightly droops his head in thought, muttering under his breath, "No wonder it is impossible to trace the roots."

"Jiang Qu Lian! You said my master has been reincarnated, is that true or not?"

Jiang Qu Lian raised his eyes to look at Xie Bi An: "Of course it's true. He should have reincarnated in a good family."

Xie Bi An was sad and dejected. He thought that with Zhong Kui's optimistic character, he would not let go of his cultivation. Those who stay in the underworld to cultivate will definitely go to reincarnation, but he still has the delusion that he can see his master one last time.

Jiang Qu Lian got the answer he wanted and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Xie Bi An again.

"What exactly did you want to do when you inquired about the Lan family? What has Zhong Ming's bloodline got to do with you?”

"It has nothing to do with you either."

At this time, a sudden tremor came from inside the stone room. Not violent but unusual. It should be something moving in the mountain.

In Fumenghui, combat fights are common, but Jiang Qu Lian is being chased by the underworld's inescapable net, so he became alerted immediately.

**Indeed, the most dangerous place is the safest place. My mum loved to rummage over my stuff when I was young, so I pasted my failed exam papers under my table haaa~
