Chapter 72: Spirit Sword Meets the Demon King “I kissed you, touched you, naturally…

Like a long-dry desert suddenly welcoming a downpour, Si Junjian just gave a light kiss at first, then began to suck.

In Gu Congxing's vision, Si Junjian had his eyes closed, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and he looked extremely nervous.

His kiss was completely unskillful, relying solely on instinct.

“Hmm…!”

Si Junjian actually bit him lightly, and as soon as Gu Congxing opened his lips, his tongue took advantage of the opportunity to enter.

Entanglement, licking, chasing.

As if playing with him, Si Junjian's tongue skillfully explored his mouth.

"Si, um!"

Hearing Gu Congxing's voice, Si Junjian opened his eyes slightly.

Those red eyes were darker than before, and looked even more eerie in this place where there were many monsters.

But his expression was still pious and nervous.

Seeing a hint of pleading in his cautious eyes, Gu Congxing's heart trembled and he slowly closed his eyes.

Si Junjian kissed her passionately while holding the person in his arms tightly.

It's his, it's his...

Gu Congxing and his name were clearly written on that piece of red paper.

Obviously, he was the one chosen by the Gu family, the one who would accompany Gu Congxing in the future...

"Ugh... cough, cough!"

Gu Congxing felt that Si Junjian had transformed into a monster, as if he wanted to tear him apart and swallow him into his stomach, without giving him even a chance to breathe.

He was practically suffocating.

But at this moment, Si Junjian finally opened his mouth.

He licked the corners of his lips like a big cat, his eyes narrowed in satisfaction.

Before Gu Congxing could say anything, he lowered his head and rubbed and nuzzled his neck.

"Hey, Si Junjian..."

Gu Congxing was completely helpless against Si Junjian's unprecedented series of behaviors. He was about to push the man away, but he could already feel the regular breathing sound beside his neck.

Fell asleep?

Gu Congxing stroked his forehead and held the man tightly.

...At least, take it to the Demon Palace first.

He supported Si Junjian and walked towards the Demon Palace step by step.

It’s also quite heavy.

“Swish——”

A morning breeze blew by, and Gu Congxing turned his head to look. Above the dark sea, a huge red sun had risen completely, and the waves were surging for thousands of miles, sending sparkling bright light.

Gu Congxing stared at the scene in front of him without blinking, and held Si Junjian's hand even tighter.

***

Head, dizzy.

Si Junjian put his hands on his eyes and slowly opened them.

What he saw was a dome made of dark black stone, not his own cave in the Tianlin Sect.

Why am I here?

By the way, this is... the demon realm!

When Si Junjian thought of this, he sat up suddenly.

"Hey, you awake?"

A teasing voice was heard, and Si Junjian looked up and saw Gu Congxing standing not far away, leaning against the wall.

He had changed into his usual silver-white robe, tilted his head and smiled, "Your alcohol tolerance is really poor. You actually fell asleep for so long."

"I...?" Si Junjian rubbed his head, thought for a moment and then said slowly, "Yes, I drank quite a lot of wine..."

The flower fairies and the piano fairies kept handing him new wine, and he really drank a lot.

He shook his head, his brows slightly furrowed.

"What did I do yesterday after drinking? Why is my memory so confused?"

Gu Congxing raised his eyebrows when he heard this and walked to his side.

He bent down slightly and leaned over to look at Si Junjian on the bed.

"Don't remember?" He grinned. "At this distance, will you remember anything?"

He smelled the familiar scent of Yue Lin again. Si Junjian looked at the red mole on the eyelashes of the person in front of him, and some strange and charming images suddenly emerged in his mind.

A burning bonfire, the dancing of demons, nine-petaled flames in the black sky, and the red shark veil swaying with the singing...

And soft, warm lips...

“!!!”

Si Junjian's face suddenly turned red!

“I, I—”

He jumped up from the bed and ran out of the room!

“Ahhhhhhhh!!”

A burst of fire suddenly erupted outside the demon palace, attracting a group of monsters to look.

Gu Congxing folded his arms and looked at the "arsonist", blinking in surprise.

“Puff.”

He had already laughed.

"Oh my, young man, you are so hot-tempered~"

A sour voice came to his ears, and Gu Congxing took a step to the side, looking at the gorgeous male demon who suddenly appeared.

She was still holding the guqin, and her hair was still as long as a waterfall, but she was wearing men's clothes, and even her face looked tougher.

"...Yin Hou?"

Gu Congxing spoke uncertainly.

The charming man turned around and smiled at Gu Congxing.

It turned out to be the same person.

"You can switch between male and female forms freely?"

"That's right." Yin Hou picked up a bunch of hair and twirled it around his fingertips. "Well, even powerful demons like us in the Out-of-Body Stage can do this. It's a pity that those idiots can't experience the beauty of a woman."

...No wonder the clothes given to me yesterday looked androgynous.

Gu Congxing silently complained in his heart.

Yin Hou propped up his head and looked out the window, revealing a somewhat distressed expression.

"Even though he is that master's child, I cannot let him burn down my palace."

As he spoke, he extended his hand to Gu Congxing.

The big demon in gorgeous clothes winked at him and smiled seductively.

"Little Immortal Lord, come with me to catch him?"

Gu Congxing raised his eyebrows in surprise. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard an angry shout.

"Hey! Yin Hou——!"

"Oh my." Yin Hou looked at Si Junjian who ran in angrily, raised his sleeves to cover his face, and his pair of purple eyes curved.

"What a shame~"

Si Junjian stood beside Gu Congxing, blocking him with one hand.

"Hmph." He frowned and looked at Yin Hou, his voice returning to its usual coldness. "Don't do unnecessary things. You said you would take us to find Hua Yi after the banquet."

"That's true, but the Thousand Spirits Banquet hasn't ended yet... Oh, I was just kidding."

Yin Hou looked at Si Junjian, whose expression was becoming more and more gloomy, and his smile became more brilliant.

"Then you two, please prepare for a moment and follow me. I'll be waiting for you in front of the Demon Palace."

Yin Hou slowly walked away, leaving only Gu Congxing and Si Junjian in the room.

Gu Congxing looked at Si Junjian's back and found that the white neck was gradually turning red.

Really, idiot.

Thinking of this, he wanted to tell some jokes to pass over what happened yesterday, but Gu Congxing couldn't say anything.

A delicate silence flowed between the two.

"Yesterday, I was indeed drunk..."

Si Junjian spoke first.

He turned around, and sure enough, his face was flushed again, like a rising fire cloud.

He gritted his teeth, turned his eyes, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he looked straight into Gu Congxing's eyes.

"But I'm not going to use drunkenness as an excuse to get away with that."

His eyes were bright.

"Gu Congxing, my background is a mystery, my future is uncertain, and I can't promise you anything. But..."

"I will be responsible for you!!"

Gu Congxing froze in place upon hearing that, his dark eyes suddenly widening.

He opened his lips, wanting to say something, but no sound came out, and his fair face became redder and redder.

The two looked at each other, and it was Gu Congxing who looked away first.

"What do you mean by responsible... You don't need to—"

"I kissed you and touched you, so I must be responsible for you!"

Gu Congxing staggered when he heard this.

What lewd talk!

"Wait, don't make it sound so ambiguous!! It was just a kiss!"

Upon hearing this, Si Junjian's aura suddenly changed and his brows slowly frowned.

Gu Congxing noticed his change and thought to himself that something was wrong.

Si Junjian's tone dropped as expected: "...It's just a kiss?"

Seeing Gu Congxing looking away, he took another step closer.

"Could it be that this isn't your first kiss?"

His gorgeous face was covered with dark clouds, and his originally clear red eyes became even darker.

"Who is it?" Seeing that Gu Congxing didn't answer, he thought for a moment and said, "I know, it's that hypocrite Lan Jue--"

"Big Brother is not a hypocrite!" Gu Congxing retorted subconsciously, "He is clearly a true gentleman, as everyone can see..."

But as soon as he said this, he saw a strange feeling flash across the eyes of the person opposite him.

Like being lost, like being hurt.

He clearly still looked strong, but his brows drooped a little bit and his hands clenched gradually.

It's like a wild cat that bares its fangs and claws at people, but tucks its tail and trembles alone when it is alone.

Gu Congxing's unspoken defense words gradually melted away in his throat.

"Si Jun Sword..."

He reached out to grab Si Junjian's arm, but the man turned away.

Si Junjian lowered his voice and lowered his head slightly.

"...I've known this for a long time. In your heart, your master is always closer to you. No one else can compare."

The scenes of Lan Jue and Gu Congxing getting along in the bipolar magic realm flashed through his mind again and again. Si Junjian's clenched fists trembled, and after a moment they slowly loosened.

"I was just too talkative... Let's go, Yin Hou is still waiting outside."

He said this and stepped out first without waiting for Gu Congxing's response.

Gu Congxing looked at his back, stood there silently for a long time, and then walked out of the house.

"You two, are finally here?"

Yin Hou still had a charming smile on his face, but when his eyes swept over the two of them, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Oh? Looks like there's something wrong?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Si Junjian said in a bad tone, rubbing the head of the silver wolf monster beside him, "Let's go, don't delay any longer."

Yin Hou was not annoyed at all. Instead, he happily raised his sleeves, flew the guqin into the air, and sat on it.

"Those two, please follow me closely."

Yin Hou's sleeves fluttered as he came out. Si Junjian was already sitting astride Tiao Tiao, and he did not call him to come forward as usual.

Gu Congxing's eyes moved, and he silently summoned the Whale Slaying Sword—

“Ahhh~”

Tiaotiao had come up to him without him noticing and nudged his head.

"Tiao Tiao..." Gu Congxing looked at Si Junjian and saw that the man was still looking at him without saying a word, but he did not let Tiao Tiao leave.

Gu Congxing paused for only a moment, then stepped forward and sat on it.

“Ouch—”

The silver wolf monster let out a long howl and followed Yin Hou's figure.

About half an hour later, everyone arrived at their destination.

This place is located in the heart of Youdu Mountain. A dark and magnificent hall stands in the middle of it. Outside the hall, there are also burly demons wearing armor serving as guards.

Serious and silent.

Gu Congxing and Si Junjian both looked slightly restrained.

Yin Hou, however, continued to smile casually, his tone relaxed: "This is the palace of the Lord of Hell. Oh, it seems some of you still call him the Greatest Demon, the Demon Lord?"

"Hua Yi is right here. She only arrived half a month earlier than you. Well, don't worry. Although Mingjun looks fierce, he is actually—"

He paused at this point, looked away and said, "It seems he's actually quite fierce, haha..."

Si Junjian held his forehead helplessly.

"Anyway, let's go in first."

Yin Hou took the lead and walked towards the palace, followed closely by Si Junjian and Gu Congxing.

The guarding demons all looked over, but did not move.

Is it because of the guidance of sound?

Gu Congxing was thinking in his heart.

I had heard before that the demon clan was not as brutal and cruel as the demon clan. The five major demons were powerful and unpredictable, but the King of Hell who guarded the Western Wilderness had never caused any unrest.

Perhaps, there is room for peaceful coexistence between the demon race and the human race.

“Click—”

The heavy black iron door was pushed open, revealing an empty palace.

On the huge throne was a tall man covered in black armor, his entire body shrouded in solemn shadows.

Beside him, a female cultivator in a red Taoist robe stood tall and proud, holding a whisk. When she looked over here, she suddenly took a step forward and exclaimed:

"Xiao Si?!"

"Sister Hua Yi!"

Si Junjian stepped forward quickly, carefully scanning Hua Yi's body, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was fine.

"Sister Hua Yi, why are you here?"

Fairy Hua Yi had her long hair tied up high, looking quite heroic and beautiful. She rubbed Si Junjian's head with a happy expression, but her tone was a little angry.

"I'm here to hunt down a wanted criminal. I ran into the Lord of Hell along the way, so I asked him for some clues. But why are you here? Do you still want to be Tianlin's first disciple?"

Si Junjian's expression brightened when she said this.

He raised his lips and said, "I'm here to ask for some clues, but I'm asking you for them."

"……I?"

Hua Yi thought for a moment, then her eyes fell on Gu Congxing and Yin Hou.

"you……"

"Fairy Huayi." Gu Congxing clasped his fists towards her and said, "I am Gu Congxing, a disciple of the Qingxuan Sword Sect and the Gu family."

Yin Hou still had a charming smile on his face and winked at her.

Hua Yi nodded slightly, then turned to Si Junjian and asked, "It seems you came here with a companion. So, what do you want to know?"

Si Junjian lowered his eyes slightly, and after a moment, he looked at Hua Yi resolutely.

"Sister Hua Yi, do you know the truth about my life?"

Hua Yi was surprised when she heard this, and her beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

She was silent for a moment and sighed softly.

"It seems that you know something, so you come to ask me." She stroked Xiaoba, but her eyes were looking at the throne.

"But he knows more about your background than I do."

Lord of the Underworld?

Si Junjian and Gu Congxing both looked at the Demon King who remained silent the entire time.

The Lord of Hell wore black armor, revealing only the lower half of his face with a distinct jaw.

Hearing this, he stood up and transformed his body shape with a slight movement of his demonic power.

It was actually half man, half horse.

"Tatta, tatta..."

The burly centaur walked slowly in front of Si Junjian, casting a large and thick shadow.

Gu Congxing frowned and stepped forward, but was stopped by Si Junjian.

He raised his head and looked at the Lord of Hell, while his other hand silently reached out for the Lotus Bone Bow.

And at this moment, the majestic and silent King of Hell suddenly half-knelt on the ground!

Si Junjian:?!

He took a step back, but heard the Demon King, who was buried in his clothes, speak in a deep voice.

"I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"——Your Highness the Holy Son!"
