Senior Brother, We Should Take Shelter From the RainThe spiritual energy of Eight Winds Cliff was dense. Even while flying through the air it made you feel good.
From the unoccupied valley came the occasional cry or roar demon beasts, but other than that it was quiet.
That evening, a fine drizzle was falling.
The ten of them descended from the sky and attempted to find a cave to rest in.
There would be no moon tonight.
Jun YanZhi silently looked at the sky.
The horrific circ.u.mstances of the tragic deaths of the Water Moon Palace disciples left Li Shu and Gu JinPing in shock, saying: “They were being controlled by something, like a demon.”
Mo ShaoYan took a bite of the traveling rations he brought out: “What kind of thing could control someone’s mind like that?”
He Ling said coldly: “Devil cultivation, demon cultivation, medicinal pills, poison gas.”
Liu QianMo said softly: “Your explanation is too simple. Whether it is devil or demon cultivation, unless it is an innate ability, it requires an extremely high cultivation to control minds.”
Peng Shao said: “Yes, this time I’m afraid it was probably poison gas. For example, they possibly triggered something that set it off.”
Gu JinPing asked: “What kind of devil and demon cultivation has the ability to control people’s minds?”
In the very dark cave, Jun YanZhi bowed his head.
Liu QianMo said slowly: “For devil cultivators, the practice of killing to increase their cultivation has been going on since ancient times and has happened many times. At those times thousands of people would perish and the world became a h.e.l.l. The blood is absorbed by the devil cultivator and used to increase their devil skills.”
“It’s already been thousands of years since the last time it happened,” said Gui XinBi. “The innate ability to control a person’s mind, in the last dozen years, there’s only been a single person. At that time I was just beginning to cultivate and I heard people discuss it several times.”
“Heng Yuan Palace.” said He Ling.
Liu QianMo said softly: “Four hundred and sixty-seven people from the palace lord to the lowest servant, without exception, all murdered each other. The culprit, the son of the lord, who was not yet ten years old, died in the confusion.”
Li Shu said: “Well, I heard that the child innately held devil energy, that he could transform his body, and that in his infancy he caused to men to turn against each other and cause serious injuries.”
“Such a child should have been killed at birth. Did that Heng Yuan Palace lord not have enough determination?”
“Your own child, how could you turn your hand against him?”
Jun YanZhi said mildly: “Continue with your conversation. I feel stuffy. I’m going for a stroll.”
After that, he went out.
Wen Jing got up from the ground and ran after him. “Wait for me, Senior Brother Jun.”
Gui XinBi curled his lip and said: “Senior Brother Jun, Senior Brother Jun, does he have eyes for anyone else?”
Mo ShaoYan said slowly: “Senior Brother Gui, are you jealous?”
Gui XinBi said coldly: “Jealous, me? That boy is so stupid that I only feel bad for Senior Brother Jun.”
Outside the cave.
One after the other, the two walked a few feet in the drizzle. It was pitch black all around them. Jun YanZhi said mildly: “Junior Brother Lu, it’s dark, you should return to the cave. I sometimes like to take time to be alone.”
Wen Jing whispered: “I won’t bother you. I’ll just stay here beside you.”
He had no choice but to come out tonight.
It was tonight that Jun YanZhi would be separated from the group. Alone on the road, he would meet Ji KeQing a few days later.
Given that no feelings had been established with the female protagonist, it was unknown what kind of scenario would come about. It was vital that Wen Jing follow him.
The surroundings were quiet. Jun YanZhi was walking slowly but then suddenly stopped.
Following behind him, Wen Jing unexpectedly hit a solid back. Nose sore from the blow, his eyes watered a little.
“Senior Brother……”
Jun YanZhi said in a husky voice: “Junior brother, I’m feeling a little dizzy, could you lend me a hand?” His voice was very soft but somewhat different than normal.
Wen Jing froze slightly and said hurriedly: “Are you feeling unwell? Let’s go back to the cave and rest.”
The man in front stood still in the rain and didn’t speak.
Somewhat anxious, Wen Jing gathered a ball of spiritual energy in his hands in order to slightly illuminate his surroundings.
He took Jun YanZhi’s ice-cold hand and coaxed him along while slowly walking: “We don’t have to return to the cave. Let’s go find shelter from the rain……”
Jun YanZhi gently kneaded the boy’s warm fingers.
“Ah, there’s a small cave up ahead senior brother……”
“Good……”
At his side, Wen Jing shook Jun YanZhi’s hand and continued to lead him on: “We’ll have our own cave so we don’t have to crowd together with everyone else. Smile senior brother.”
Jun YanZhi was dragged into the cave. It was very shallow, barely wide enough to hold two individuals if they crowded together.
Pressed against his side, Wen Jing sat down next to Jun YanZhi and fidgeted awkwardly. He frowned and said: “Senior brother, are you uncomfortable? We can find another cave.”
“No need.”
Jun YanZhi’s face was a little pale. To Wen Jing, his eyes seemed to hold a trace of almost unnoticeable fear.
Wen Jing quickly said: “We don’t have to move. We can stay and sleep here tonight.” Saying this, he felt uncomfortable. He couldn’t help twisting his body as he looked for a more comfortable position.
Jun YanZhi pulled his wrist. Settling him between his legs, he embraced him from behind.
With both individuals in the same place, the cave immediately felt much more s.p.a.cious. Wen Jing reclined in the warm and soft embrace. Compared to the hard and cold limestone this was much more comfortable. He couldn’t help saying: “Ah, this is the best.”
Jun YanZhi quietly rested his chin on Wen Jing’s shoulder.
“Senior brother, what’s wrong? Do you have something on your mind?”
“No. Rainy days put me in a bad mood.” His voice was soft.
“Oh……so……what does senior brother want to do?”
“Don’t want to do anything. Just want to peacefully stay here.”
“Oh……ok……”
The two people nestled in silence. Feeling more and more comfortable, Wen Jing gently turned to rest on his side: “Senior brother, originally I told you to rest against me but now I’m the one resting on you.”
“Who rests against whom, it’s all the same.” Jun YanZhi’s chin that was on his shoulder gently rubbed back and forth. He sighed and his breath brushed against Wen Jing’s face.
Wen Jing began to feel a little drowsy and he rubbed his eyes: “Senior brother, I’m a little sleepy.”
“Then sleep.”
“Senior brother, don’t be unhappy……” His heavy eyelids closed and his head dropped onto Jun YanZhi’s chest.
“If you always stay with me, then I won’t be unhappy.” His voice was still soft but mixed in was a touch of an unknown emotion.
Wen Jing finally slowly lost consciousness: “Mm…… I’ve always been with you……” ¹
Finally, his mind slid into darkness as he fell into a deep sleep.
The boy’s body was warm and cozy, like a small flame. Jun YanZhi tightened his arms around him. Stroking Wen Jing’s slender neck he lightly pressed his lips against it.
Smooth and warm, just like he had imagined.
Exploring with his tongue, he licked and sucked, leaving behind a string of marks.
The tip of his tongue tingled. It was addicting. Jun YanZhi slowly put more force as he kissed and sucked and his eyes gradually darkened.
He wanted this boy to never leave him.
Every day he will exhale his breath on him. In a month Lu Jing will be desperately in love with him, devoted for the rest of his life, with no thoughts of betrayal.
Jun YanZhi lifted Wen Jing’s head. In the dark, he sought his lips.
The small moist mouth was slightly open and unresisting. Jun YanZhi easily slipped his tongue in to explore. Taking the opportunity to gently turn Wen Jing’s body, he absorbed the warmth of his mouth.
The boy was deeply asleep, utterly unconscious.
Within Jun YanZhi’s mouth, a rush of breath surged. Containing it within, he dared not release it.
Over ten years ago on that night, he didn’t remember anything clearly. He only remembered chaotic screams and cries, blood everywhere, and his mother pushing him away so that he could escape. When he awoke, he found he had been unconscious in a forest at the base of the Xun Yang mountain range.
Then he heard the news that his whole family had been destroyed and that the murderer was himself.
He had been so terrified he couldn’t sleep at night. He could only desperately search his memories but was unable to remember anything.
He didn’t know if he was or wasn’t a murderer, but the young man in his arms could never know.
Jun YanZhi sucked at Wen Jing’s soft lips and slowly released the breath held in his mouth. Once a day, a month later, Lu Jing will always be his.
Wen Jing frowned and mumbled: “Feel sick……”
Jun YanZhi restrained his breath, feeling bewildered.
What should he do?
He didn’t want to make him a puppet, but he feared that he would be betrayed one day.
Would he also one day feel that a person like himself should have been strangled at birth? He had originally intended to never get close to anyone else for the rest of his life, but this boy desperately wormed his way in. Without any awareness, like a fool, he tried to make him happy.
Didn’t he know what kind of man he was? This idiot!
“Hurts……” He pulled Wen Jing’s head back and Jun YanZhi sucked hard on his neck.
Want to run now?
Jun YanZhi pressed him to the ground and dipped his hands into his clothes to explore, feeling the soft tender skin of his flesh.
Wen Jing squirmed in discomfort, unconsciously muttering: “Ah……aches……”
Jun YanZhi pursed his lips. Subconsciously restraining himself, he sat up again with him in his arms. He bowed his head and slowly pulled Wen Jing’s clothes together, whispering: “Junior brother, I’ll trust you this time, but you must never betray me, alright?”
The boy didn’t answer. Well-behaved, he laid still in his arms.
Jun YanZhi stroked his head: “Sleep.”
Wen Jing hugged his waist, his expression relaxing as he became still again.
The author has something to say:
Today’s chapter, I’m afraid many people will have a bad impression.
But he is originally black…… I can only guarantee he will never force the small shou.
Translators notes:
1. It’s unclear to me whether he says this or if he means that going forward he’ll stay with him. There’s one part of speech that means “an ongoing action” so I took the more fun meaning. *shrug*
Uh…. got a face full of plot there. Did anyone notice he’d been doing some fantasizing? Lol.
