THNWO 104

Chapter 104

After Li Zhu finished speaking he saw his father turning his face away, he felt anxious.

To be honest, apart from his father as a competitor, no one else was worthy of his consideration. Take that little flirtatious girl from Fengyue An for example; she’s a eunuch, and only a fool like Fang Chaozhou would choose her.

“Dad, for so many years, I’ve only liked Fang Chaozhou. Can’t you just let him be with me? If it weren’t for me getting to know him back then, would you even know him now? In the end, it was you, Dad, who forcefully took him away. Now you should give him back to me.” Li Zhu knew he couldn’t beat his father, so he had to try a softer approach.

Hearing this, Li Yiyue couldn’t help but sneer, “Back then, I let you choose, who did you choose? Have you forgotten?”

Stung by these words, Li Zhu’s face became unpleasant. He wanted to say something more but saw Li Yiyue had already summoned his mount, the Flying Cloud Beast.

“Dad, where are you going?” Li Zhu hurriedly asked.

In the midst of the conversation, Li Yiyue had already mounted the flying cloud Beast. He glanced indifferently at Li Zhu. “I’ll go ahead; you bring everyone from the sect and follow behind.”

Fang Chaozhou’s heart skipped a beat. Why did Xue Danrong ask like this? Did he expose something?

“Nowhere… I didn’t come from anywhere. I… came from the sect.”

Xue Danrong pursed his lips, creating a faint, pale mark resembling folded peach petals. “You never use this fragrance. Who is it?”

Immediately, Fang Chaozhou lifted his sleeve to sniff but detected no scent.

He stole a glance at Xue Danrong, noticing his displeasure. Contemplating, he said, “The sect is crowded; maybe I picked up something.”

Before he could finish, he found it hard to continue. Xue Danrong’s expression had turned terrifying; his phoenix eyes harbored a beast that seemed ready to emerge, swallowing him whole.

Fang Chaozhou closed his mouth, sneakily patted Xue Danrong’s back, just like stroking fur. After a few strokes, the beast in Xue Danrong’s eyes retreated.

Seeing Xue Danrong’s eased expression, Fang Chaozhou breathed a sigh of relief, changing the subject and asking about other matters. “You mentioned transcending tribulation. Have you crossed the thunder tribulation?”

During these days, he hadn’t heard any thunder.

“Not yet, but soon,” Xue Danrong replied. While speaking, he leaned closer to Fang Chaozhou’s neck, and as he did, his eyebrows furrowed.

There was a strange scent here.

This scent disgusted him.

Fang Chaozhou, oblivious to Xue Danrong’s actions, was focused on figuring out what to say next. He was planning to leave Tian shui Sect but couldn’t tell Xue Danrong directly.

As he contemplated, he felt a damp sensation on his neck.

Fang Chaozhou couldn’t help but cover that area of skin with his hand, and his face turned red. “It’s broad daylight; what are you doing?”

The accused person, with a calm expression, said, “I don’t like the scent on you right now.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Chaozhou felt his previous speculation was likely accurate.

Xue Danrong probably knew that the outer disciple “Fang Zhuo” was the one forcing him into dual cultivation, hence the deliberate actions in the classroom. Hugging him, making him peel chestnuts as punishment, and later being taken to Zhichun Island after getting drunk…

The pervert he encountered during his last bath was likely this guy.

But Xue Danrong probably didn’t know he was Fang Chaozhou. If he did, he would have surely informed the sect that he hadn’t died and had returned.

Never did he expect that, through dual cultivation, he managed to seduce the world’s most beautiful man. Not only did Xue Danrong not hold a grudge for the “poison” he administered, but he also clung to him now.

Fang Chaozhou’s emotions were complicated at the moment; he felt a bit angry. Angry that Xue Danrong could forget him so easily and develop feelings for someone else. Yet, he lacked the confidence to be angry since there seemed to be some unclear relationships on his part as well.

“Do you still remember the deceased Fang Chaozhou?” Fang Chaozhou couldn’t help but ask Xue Danrong, scrutinizing his reactions.

When Xue Danrong heard the question, his expression was much calmer than Fang Chaozhou had anticipated. He simply tightened the grip around Fang Chaozhou’s waist and murmured a low “mm.”

Fang Chaozhou’s heart instantly cooled halfway. It seemed that Xue Danrong now preferred “Fang Zhuo” and not “Fang Chaozhou.” Well, in Xue Danrong’s eyes, he had been dead for five years. Who would keep thinking about someone who had been dead for so long?

Even if their original feelings were deep, time had worn them down, not to mention the possibility that his previous relationship with Xue Danrong might not have been profound.

“What kind of person is Fang Chaozhou? I heard he has some ambiguous relationships with several men.” Fang Chaozhou probed again.

As soon as these words came out, he felt a noticeable chill in the air. The person holding him didn’t say anything, but Fang Chaozhou could sense that Xue Danrong was angry, most likely because of his previous words.

Was this an implicit admission?

Did he really have more than one lover, and how could he have the face to retaliate against Xue Danrong?

Forget it. He decided not to admit he was Fang Chaozhou. It would be embarrassing to do so now. Let Xue Danrong continue thinking he was dead.

Today, he would leave this place and live in obscurity.

As this thought arose, he couldn’t help but glance at the person beside him. Xue Danrong was undeniably handsome, something Fang Chaozhou had always known. Up close, that face had no flaws; his skin was as fair as snow, and his features were delicately crafted, as if painted meticulously with a brush. The vermilion mole at the center of his brows resembled a red plum in the snowy field or a drop of blood on rice paper.

Vivid, striking crimson.

Because he would never see this face again, Fang Chaozhou thought to take a longer look today, so he could remember in the future. However, after staring for a short while, those phoenix eyes looked over, and almost simultaneously, his lips were kissed.

“No…” Fang Chaozhou struggled; he didn’t come to engage in dual cultivation with Xue Danrong.

But it seemed too late.

Being kissed until he was dizzy, Fang Chaozhou reluctantly gave in.

The last time, let it be the last time.

Fang Chaozhou believed it was the last time. More cooperative than usual, he refrained from calling it quits halfway through. This time, thinking he wouldn’t see Xue Danrong again, he didn’t ask for a break. However, this exposed his usual laziness. When he truly couldn’t endure it, Xue Danrong no longer believed him. Fang Chaozhou lay on Xue Danrong’s outer robe, biting his lip. Unable to resist any longer, he took out a fruit and put it in his mouth. The sweetness of the fruit couldn’t distract him. He resisted and resisted, but in the end, he couldn’t hold back the choked sobs, extremely aggrieved.

Even a piece of pork wouldn’t be gnawed on like this.

Fang Chaozhou lifted his head slightly, his legs retracted from being draped over Xue Danrong’s back to stepping on Xue Danrong’s shoulders. He wanted to kick the person away but was instead held by the ankle, feeling the familiar moisture.

Later on, Fang Chaozhou couldn’t even hum anymore. He nestled in the other’s arms, slightly sobered by the thunder, but just when he became a bit clear-headed, Xue Danrong pulled him back into the previous state.

The thunder above the Tian Shui Sect surprised everyone. Someone was undergoing tribulation, but it didn’t seem like an ordinary one.

The Elder of the Fourth Peak looked at the sky for a moment, then immediately flew into the air with his sword. Seeing the thundercloud above the Zhichun Island, he prepared to transmit a message to the Elder of the First Peak, Cheng Hongyi. After all, Cheng Hongyi was Xue Danrong’s master, and even though their relationship was strained in the past five years, a master still had to come and take a look when a direct disciple was undergoing tribulation.

Should they also inform Huali Mountain?

While the Fourth Elder was pondering, he suddenly noticed another thundercloud drifting towards Zhichun Island beside the large thundercloud. Compared to the big one, this thundercloud was more delicate but still far from ordinary.

What’s going on?

Throughout history, when cultivators underwent tribulation, there was always only one thundercloud for lightning strikes. Even with Xue Danrong’s extraordinary talent, it shouldn’t attract two thunderclouds?

The Fourth Elder was alarmed by the unusual sight, abandoning his dilemma and immediately transmitting a message to the expert on Huali Mountain.

Xue Danrong is the son of Master’s good friend. Although their relationship has soured over the years, with the possibility of being struck dead by two thunderclouds, the Fourth Elder decided to inform Master.

Even if someone really died, the Master could come and collect the body.

After transmitting the message, the Fourth Elder rushed to Zhichun Island. Due to the urgency, he flew there directly on his sword, intending to enter Zhichun Island directly. However, to his surprise, he was blocked by a barrier.

Fourth Elder: “…”

He couldn’t get in?

When did that kid Xue Danrong become so powerful? Mastered barrier techniques so well?

Unable to enter, the Fourth Elder could only wait on the spot. While waiting, he saw a chicken. The chicken also saw him and ran away.

Seeing the chicken about to flee, the Fourth Elder immediately set up a barrier, trapping the chicken. As the chicken bumped against the barrier, unable to break through, the Fourth Elder’s previous frustration diminished a bit. He turned around, walked over, and looked at the chicken on the ground, “Where did you come from? The spiritual pets registered on the mountain don’t include you.”

Before the chicken could reply, the Fourth Elder heard movement from behind. Turning around, he saw Cheng Hongyi approaching on his sword. Cheng Hongyi didn’t stop and flew towards Zhichun Island, but like him, he was also stopped by a barrier.

“Pfft.” The Fourth Elder laughed unceremoniously, “Your disciple has grown up. Even you, as his master, can’t enter his barrier.”

Cheng Hongyi, who had come in a hurry, now looked disgruntled at the sarcastic remark.

Seeing Cheng Hongyi’s expression, the Fourth Elder became even more complacent, “I think your disciple might be extraordinary in the future. Don’t be surprised if he surpasses even the master…”

Mid-sentence, he lifted his head.

The cry of the Golden Winged Bird echoed from the sky, and in a moment, a person descended on it.
