[Chapter 20 - Quickly send the Xue Liu Li away!] Seen naked once again!
Once the phrase "Inseparable injustices across seven generations" rang out, silence immediately descended upon the scene.
However, Shen Qian Ling was actually forced to be quiet. If his mute pressure point wasn"t pressed, he wouldn"t have been able to hold it in and would have laughed facing the sky for a long time, with tears in his eyes, hugging Yao Qian enthusiastically too.
I won"t be able to return such a huge favor, this brother, you"re truly a good man.
"Inseparable injustices across seven generations?" Qin Shao Yu raised an eyebrow. "Which seven generations, talk about them."
Shen Qian Ling also curiously perked up his ears.
"In the first generation, sect leader was an immortal of the heavens." Yao Qian spoke frankly but fluently, "Handsome and confident, a dignified appearance, outstanding looks, appearance without peer, dazzling and splendid, valiant and formidable, flush and affluent, glowing with health and vigor."
Shen Qian Ling looked at him in admiration; this bootlicking had truly reached a new level.
"What about him?" Qin Shao Yu bent his finger, and knocked Shen Qian Ling"s head.
How can one"s head be just knocked on like this, Shen Xiao Shou complained internally.
"Young master Shen was... was... actually...." Yao Qian"s face looked awkward.
Is what, say it quickly. Shen Qian Ling was in anguish; the one who is slow will become a eunuch.
"Say it." Qin Shao Yu said.
Yao Qian took a deep breath, "Young master Shen was a....fox demon from the heavenly mountains of the southern seas."
Shen Qian Ling: "......."
Can"t you also a.s.sign me the role of an immortal.
"And?" Qin Shao Yu continued asking without blinking an eyelid.
"The paths for immortals and demons diverge. The immortal caused calamity in the heavens for the fox demon, all done in order to stay together, but unexpectedly fell into the fox demon"s trap in the end, leading to havoc in the human realm, and terrible times for the people." Yao Qian said, "The Celestial Emperor became enraged after finding out about this, and thus cast the immortal and fox demon down back to the reincarnation cycle, such that they would love each other in every life and yet cannot stay together. This has been repeated for six lifetimes. The Mandate of Heaven cannot be disobeyed; I hope that sect leader would reconsider."
It"s really too moving. Inside, Shen Qian Ling clapped with all his might. Although the plot is somewhat stereotypical, it"s totally alright, what"s important is that it"s useful.
"So according to you, he used me in a past life?" Qin Shao Yu pulled on Shen Xiao Shou"s ear.
Countless swear words instantly rose inside Shen Qian Ling.
Yao Qian nodded. "Exactly."
Then, Shen Qian Ling"s tears just fell down like this rapidly; his cheeks were basically streaming with tears.
"Ah ya." Fan Yan was greatly startled, "Why did fu-ren cry suddenly?"
Hua Tang guessed, "Could it be that he felt that he has failed sect leader in his past life, and can"t get over it?"
Shen Qian Ling"s tears continued to fall silently like rain. A small pale face, remarkably like a beauty who makes one wants to pamper him, even the heart of a bystander would be heartbroken at this, it was really, really delicate. But in fact, at that moment, at that time, he was currently trampling on Qin Shao Yu frantically in his mind: If you have nothing to do then don"t just poke me anyhow, what kind of weird pressure point is this? I"m clearly overjoyed and didn"t want to cry....and you"re still poking, if you poke once more I"ll break off ties with you!
"Fu-ren need not be this way." Hua Tang couldn"t bear it, thus consoled gently, "For the matters of the past life, what"s done is done; it will be alright if you are good to sect leader in this life."
"That"s right, don"t cry anymore." Fan Yan also spoke up and consoled him.
The main culprit Yao Qian remained silent, obviously insistent on "inseparable injustices across seven generations."
"Don"t ever bring up this matter again." Qin Shao Yu carried Shen Qian Ling and stood up, "As for the rest of the sect matters, they will be left for discussion tomorrow."
Yao Qian opened his mouth, wanting to say something else, but was coldly glared at by Qin Shao Yu, and could only tactfully close his mouth again.
"Sect leader and fu-ren are truly in love." After the two of them left, Hua Tang said, "Looks like we will have to recognize him even if we don"t want to."
"Inseparable injustices across seven generations, and he can just marry him if he says so?" Yao Qian said irately, "Just how many beautiful women are waiting to get married to sect leader? Why is he so adamant on him."
"Are your visions accurate?" Fan Yan jabbed Yao Qian, "Don"t spoil the fate of the marriage between sect leader and fu-ren."
"Hmph." Yao Qian glared at him, and left slowly with his head held high. Obviously he couldn"t care less to be bothered about him.
The corner of Fan Yan"s mouth twitched. To be able to maintain this kind of rotten personality for so many years, it"s also not an easy feat.
And in the bedroom, Shen Qian Ling was currently straddling Qin Shao Yu"s body, hitting him ferociously, showing his true colours.
"Your tears haven"t been wiped clean yet." Sect leader Qin spoke while lying on the bed, slowly adding oil to the fire.
"And you still dare to speak." Shen Qian Ling grabbed onto his collar and shook him, "You, this despicable, shameless man."
"There"s no other way." Qin Shao Yu looked totally innocent, "Or else you wouldn"t have cried."
"Why should I cry for no reason?" Shen Qian Ling pulled his face in opposite directions.
Qin Shao Yu said distortedly, "To show that we are affectionate."
"Affectionate your a.s.s." Shen Qian Ling was angry.
"If we weren"t more affectionate, it"s very likely that people in the Dominion of Shadow Chasers will harbor ill feelings towards you; it will affect our future marriage." Qin Shao Yu pinched his arm, "Alright, stop it now, come down."
"No." Shen Qian Ling continued to straddle on top of his stomach, "Didn"t you hear, we have inseparable injustices across seven generations. Why even marry when there"s inseparable injustices across seven generations." It"s best to break up while it"s still early, it"s good for you, good for me, good for everyone.
"You even believe in this sort of communication with spirits?" Qin Shao Yu"s tone was full of disdain.
Shen Qian Ling was rendered speechless; don"t look at me like I"m an idiot! You don"t even know the shape of the earth, and you still have the gall to look down on me?
"Rest early." Qin Shao Yu pulled him down, "We still have to hurry on the road tomorrow."
Shen Qian Ling sat on the bed, cross legged. He was still extremely unhappy.
Qin Shao Yu didn"t tease him any further either, opening the door and calling for the servant to bring in two tubs of water for bathing.
......
"We are bathing together?" Shen Qian Ling went on guard.
"Of course not." Qin Shao Yu removed his outer robe. "There"s clearly two buckets."
So what if there"s two buckets, they are clearly placed so close to each other, it"s practically taking a bath as a couple. As Shen Qian Ling was still thinking if he should use a screen to block it off, Qin Shao Yu had already removed his clothes and stepped into the water.
Do you have to be so fast, Shen Xiao Shou pouted. He did sweat somewhat after rushing on the road for a day, so he wouldn’t be able to sleep if he didn’t bathe...actually everyone here are all men, there was nothing to be affected about anyway. Shen Qian Ling consoled himself as he tested the water temperature with his hand. After turning around and stripping down to his shorts, he stepped on the wooden stool and into the bathtub.
"Pfft." Qin Shao Yu laughed, "Embarra.s.sed?"
Shen Qian Ling grumbled a bit, then removed his shorts in the water, hanging it, dripping wet, by the edge of the tub.
"Why are you so thin." Qin Shao Yu reached out his hand, pinching his shoulder.
Don"t touch me for no reason. Shen Qian Ling slapped his hand away, saying fiercely, "Get further away from me." If you like meat, why don"t you go and find a fatty, I practically can"t wish for more than this.
As he was worried that Qin Shao Yu would suddenly show his carnal side, Shen Qian Ling finished his bath using the fastest speed in his life. He reached out his hand towards his inner robe on the shelf, wanting to pull it down, but suddenly felt something cold on his arm. A big snake with alternating black and white stripes dropped down noisily from the shelf, and just happened to land on his body.
"Ah!" Shen Qian Ling immediately shrieked loudly, practically frightened out of his own mind.
Qin Shao Yu was initially putting on his clothes. Upon seeing the scene, his face immediately changed. He lifted up a fast stream of water with a wave of his hand, hitting that venomous snake away from Shen Qian Ling"s body.
The big snake slithered around dizzily on the ground. Shen Qian Ling"s face was as white as a sheet of paper. Qin Shao Yu leapt over, pulling an outer robe over and scooping him out of the bathtub, and sent out two daggers along the way, pinning the big snake to the ground.
"Sect leader." The people next door heard the commotion, and had gathered at the door.
"It"s nothing, all return to your rooms." Qin Shao Yu carried Shen Qian Ling back to the bed, pulling over his arm and examining it, "You weren"t bitten, don"t be scared."
Shen Qian Ling still hadn’t recovered, and was still shivering as he talked, "Why are there snakes everywhere?"
Qin Shao Yu didn"t reply.
The snake on the ground was still tossing and turning around, and was even hissing and sticking its tongue out. It was moving towards the wardrobe, letting the daggers pa.s.s through its body without any care. The blood flowing on the ground has turned into a river, leading to chills down one"s spine, along with terror and panic.
Qin Shao Yu covered Shen Qian Ling"s eyes with a single hand, and stared raptly and quietly at the snake.
The daggers were pulled out of the ground. The snake b.u.mped its head against the door of the wardrobe, seemingly looking for something.
"What"s in the cabinet?" Qin Shao Yu asked softly by his ear.
"....Just all my clothes and money." Shen Qian Ling had calmed down slightly.
"Other than these?" Qin Shao Yu continued asking.
"Nothing else." Shen Qian Ling shook his head, thought about it and spoke up again, "And the snow colored gla.s.s from before, as well as the Bi Lu Tong that mother gave me."
"Bi Lu Tong?" Qin Shao Yu asked.
"Yes, mother said that it"s a medicinal jade." Shen Qian Ling said, "It"s in the blue bundle."
Qin Shao Yu found a fish line dart from underneath the pillow. The dart flew over and threw open the cabinet door. After opening it he pulled it back, hooking onto the pouch that Shen Qian Ling mentioned.
"It"s this one." Shen Qian Ling took out the small box and opened it.
As expected, the snake changed its direction, and moved towards the bed.
Qin Shao Yu took the precious Bi Lu stone, examining it in his hands, and threw it into a big vase near the bedroom door.
The snake stopped in its tracks, swaying around dazedly, but didn"t follow it over, staying where it was and moving no more instead.
The snow colored gla.s.s was still in the box. Qin Shao Yu picked it up, and also threw it into the vase.
The snake immediately raised its head and stuck out its tongue, turning around and rushing directly for the vase.
Qin Shao Yu smirked, and went forward while carrying Shen Qian Ling, and sent the snake from the window to the outside with a kick. He picked up Bi Lu Tong from the vase, handing it back to Shen Qian Ling"s hands, "The medicinal jade must be kept close to your body, keep it safely."
"What does it have to do with snakes?" Shen Qian Ling was puzzled.
"Rumour has it that in ancient times there was an immortal physician, who had a fierce tiger by his side for many years." Qin Shao Yu said, "Bi Lu Tong is the eye of this divine tiger, it can cure every illness and subdue evil spirits. It"s just that the books have never mentioned that if it and the snow colored gla.s.s were to be placed together, they would have the ability to attract snakes."
Shen Qian Ling instantly felt that the medicinal jade in his hands was starting to feel scalding.
"It was unheard of for Sun-Moon Hamlet or Snowless Boundary to have a calamity of snakes happen upon them, so it should be fine if they"re not in contact with one another." Qin Shao Yu said, "There will be someone returning to the Dominion of Shadow Chasers tomorrow, I will simply get them bring the snow colored gla.s.s away."
Shen Qian Ling nodded, feeling that his heart was still beating rapidly.
"Let"s change rooms to sleep, the smell of blood is too strong here." Qin Shao Yu placed him on the bed, "I"m going to the wardrobe to take some clothes for you."
......
Take some clothes? Shen Xiao Shou froze, and finally realized that he was only hurriedly wrapped in a white inner robe by Qin Shao Yu, and it had long gotten wet and stuck to his body, and practically all of his b.u.t.t was also exposed outside. Even his little Ling was fairly discernible.
The face and ears of Shen Xiao Shou reddened, and he pulled over the blanket and wrapped himself in it.
He was once again seen naked.
This was truly terrible.
