Chapter 102

Ji Mingqing felt as if he was hallucinating, or perhaps there was something wrong with his comprehension. His lips moved, then he took back the words he was about to say. He froze there, bewildered.

Bai Cangze seemed to have lost his patience. He exerted force with his hands again, as if anxious for Ji Mingqing's answer. But the next second he heard Ji Mingqing's muffled groan in his ears.

"Sorry." Bai Cangze quickly let go of his hand. Ji Mingqing seized the opportunity and immediately pushed Bai Cangze away with both hands.

He turned around. Bai Cangze couldn't see his expression, but only heard the voice coming from Ji Mingqing's side.

"You have work to do. If you don't have anything else, don't waste your time here with me." Ji Mingqing was a little flustered. He wanted to return the necklace, but he was afraid of irritating Bai Cangze and afraid that Bai Cangze would say something that he couldn't understand.

"My mom is upstairs enjoying the hot springs. I'm going up first. We can talk later if there's anything else."

After Ji Mingqing finished speaking, he was about to run away, but was grabbed by Bai Cangze. Before Ji Mingqing could react, he felt that he was back in that somewhat restrictive space.

"What do you mean?" Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing and frowned. "Don't you like it?"

Ji Mingqing was about to cry. He felt that he had not misunderstood, but Bai Cangze's behavior was really unbearable for him.

"What do you mean by like or dislike? What did you say? I don't understand." Ji Mingqing felt like he was about to suffocate. All he could think about now was leaving here, leaving the place where Bai Cangze was.

Bai Cangze was slightly stunned, then he hugged Ji Mingqing in his arms and put his head on his shoulders. The next moment, Ji Mingqing felt his body floating in the air, and he subconsciously grabbed Bai Cangze's clothes tightly.

Within a minute, Ji Mingqing felt his feet land on solid ground. Bai Cangze also loosened his hands at this moment, giving Ji Mingqing a chance to catch his breath.

"If you have something to say, can you just say it right now? Why did you bring me here..." Ji Mingqing waved his hand, pushed Bai Cangze out, turned around and was about to leave, but when he saw the scenery in front of him, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"This is where I was born. This is the scene I saw when I opened my eyes." Bai Cangze took Ji Mingqing's hand and walked forward.

At this time, two people were standing at the entrance of a cave. Bai Cangze took Ji Mingqian and walked into the cave. As they walked, he introduced Ji Mingqing to him.

"I was born without a father or a mother, a divine beast formed from the combination of chaos and immortal energy during the early days of chaos. When I first became conscious, my first test was to break free from the eggshell."

The cave was not deep. Bai Cangze pulled Ji Mingqing to a platform similar to an altar. At this time, there were six fluorescent, round, egg-like objects placed flat on the platform.

"These are all..." Ji Mingqing also had his own guesses, but he was a little bit unbelievable.

Bai Cangze nodded and said, "These are all creatures that were chosen and created by Heaven along with me. The difference between them is that I successfully broke free from the shackles that bound me, while they all failed."

Ji Mingqing looked at the altar in front of him, which was neatly arranged and obviously maintained, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"The jade on your body is the remains of the cage that once bound me, but from which I later broke free. It is the first trophy of my life."

Being able to describe the eggshell that gave birth to him as a cage, and then looking at the seven eggs nearby where only one survived, this was an astonishing elimination rate. Ji Mingqing could hardly imagine what kind of trial he had encountered in the eggshell.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Bai Cangze suggested.

Ji Mingqing looked at Bai Cangze and then at the egg on the altar, then nodded hesitantly, "Let's leave here."

After turning around, Bai Cangze readily took Ji Mingqing's hand. Only then did Ji Mingqing realize how incongruous this action was.

"Let's talk it over nicely." Stop touching me!

Ji Mingqing tried hard to break free from Bai Cangze, but Bai Cangze was like a chain, locking Ji Mingqing in his palm.

At this time, the two had reached the edge of the cave. Bai Cangze let go of Ji Mingqing. Just as Ji Mingqing was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he felt Bai Cangze's hand around his waist again. Before Ji Mingqing could react, the two of them gracefully descended from the cave entrance.

Ji Mingqing let out a light cry, and the two of them fell to the ground. Bai Cangze let go of his hand. This time he did not cling to Ji Mingqing as domineeringly as before.

"I have lived here for thousands of years. During this time, I always thought that I was the only living creature in the world, and all I could do was practice." Bai Cangze's eyes looked into the distance, as if with some nostalgia.

"It wasn't until I cultivated to the point where I had the ability to break through space that I realized there wasn't just me in this world. There were other people, other immortal beasts and demonic cultivators, and all sorts of small worlds."

"Thinking back to that thousand years of loneliness, I suddenly find it a little unbearable." At this point, Bai Cangze's tone was a little low. He murmured, "If you were able to cultivate to the Golden Immortal level in a thousand years, but you couldn't communicate with anyone, and your only hope was that those six companions who might never wake up would have the slightest chance of waking up, do you think you could accept it?"

Ji Mingqing looked at Bai Cangze. He rarely saw Bai Cangze show such an expression. In his heart, Bai Cangze had always been strong and fearless. No matter what happened in front of him, he could easily solve it.

Even when Bai Cangze was still in his cub form, Ji Mingqing felt that Bai Cangze was unusually reliable, even more useful than himself as an adult.

So it has to be said that Ji Mingqing, who was still angry in his heart just now, had to soften his attitude after seeing Bai Sanghe's expression at this time.

But at this moment, Ji Mingqing suddenly had an idea. He raised his head and looked at Bai Cangze, and asked softly, "Who taught you this move?"

Bai Cangze hadn't expected Ji Mingqing to play by his own rules. He blinked, his chest rising and falling slightly at Ji Mingqing's unexpected action. "What are you talking about? What's your plan?"

After seeing Bai Cangze's somewhat flustered reaction, Ji Mingqing became more certain.

"Who taught you to act pitiful?" Ji Mingqing took the initiative to take a step forward, while Bai Cangze took half a step back in panic, but was rescued by Ji Mingqing.

The identities of the two people were immediately reversed.

"I'll ask you again, if you lie I'll ignore you." Ji Mingqing said with a serious expression, "Who taught you to act pitiful?"

Bai Cangze opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

"No one taught me." Bai Cangze was like a deflated ball at this moment. He didn't speak with the confidence as before, and even his emotions were pitiful.

"I learned it from books." Bai Cangze finally confessed. He turned his head away embarrassedly. At this moment, he couldn't look directly into Jin Mingxing's eyes.

The book clearly says that showing a different image of yourself in front of the person you like will get their attention. Gentle people will become domineering, happy people will become sad, and strong people will show weakness.

Bai Cangze is such a powerful person, so naturally he would choose to show weakness.

But how could Ji Mingqing see through him at once? Was it because his acting was bad? He had been rehearsing for days!

Bai Cangze secretly groaned in his heart, and at this time, Ji Mingqing, looking at Bai Cangze's rare embarrassment, couldn't help laughing out loud.

"It seems you have been preparing for this these days!" Ji Mingqing laughed after regaining the initiative, and Bai Cangze became even more annoyed and angry after hearing his laughter.

But he would not be angry with Ji Mingqing, so he could only be secretly angry at himself, angry at how Ji Mingqing could see through him so easily.

At this time, Bai Cangze's rhythm had been completely disrupted, and was replaced by Ji Mingqing's rhythm.

Ji Mingqing looked at Bai Cangze who didn't dare to look him in the eye, smiled quietly, then turned Bai Cangze's face and forced him to look at him.

"What method do you think would be appropriate for me if I met someone I liked?"

After hearing Ji Mingqing's words, Bai Cangze did not answer, but asked in return: "Do you have someone you like?"

Ji Mingqing neither nodded nor shook his head. He just looked at Bai Cangze and said, "I asked the question first, so polite people should answer it first."

Bai Cangze thought about it, his expression conflicted, and then said truthfully, "I don't know."

Ji Mingqing tilted his head in confusion, "How could you not know? Haven't you read a lot of books?"

"But the book doesn't say how someone like you should attract someone you like. You're already very likable."

After hearing Bai Cangze's words, Ji Mingqing couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You like me, right?"

Ji Mingqing was straightforward. He looked up at Bai Cangze and asked fearlessly, "I'll give you one chance."

Bai Cangze was suddenly at a loss. He felt that all the things he had prepared before were useless at this moment. He had memorized all the sweet words and various flirting methods in those books.

But at this moment he couldn't remember a single word, the only thing left in his mind was the question Ji Mingqing had just asked him.

"You like me, don't you?"

It was an affirmative sentence, not a question. Bai Cangze realized that he had been exposed. He had hidden it so well before, but all his efforts were wasted in the failed operation just now.

"Yes, you are right." Bai Cangze nodded and admitted his feelings, but Ji Mingqing was not satisfied with Bai Cangze's answer.

"Which of what I said is right? I said a lot just now." Ji Mingqing looked straight into Bai Cangze's eyes. Bai Cangze was completely defeated by such a look.

"I like you, this is true."

The awkward kitten finally revealed his true feelings, and at this moment the "culprit" showed a smug smile in front of the kitten.

Finally tied the game. It was his fault for scaring me like that just now!

"Okay, I understand."

After hearing Bai Cangze's answer, Ji Mingqing let go of his hand, nodded at Bai Cangze, then turned and was about to leave.

"The scenery here is nice, with flowers and trees. Are there fish over there?" Ji Mingqing pretended nothing had happened and chatted with Bai Cangze as usual.

Bai Cangze immediately grabbed Ji Mingqing's hand and pulled him to his side. "And then?"

The questions were nonsensical, but both of them understood them.

"What does the book teach you to do?" Ji Mingqing crossed his arms and looked at Bai Cangze as if he was not involved.

Bai Cangze immediately understood that Ji Mingqing was still angry with him. He was angry at him for bringing her here without any explanation. He was angry at him for putting so much pressure on Ji Mingqing. He was even angry at him for not speaking directly but playing tricks on him.

Bai Cangze lowered his head and pulled the person in front of him. He was a little embarrassed, but still apologized softly according to Ji Mingqing's wishes.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't thoughtful enough. I won't do it again."

Ji Mingqing raised an eyebrow, "Can you let go now?"

Bai Cangze was conflicted. He didn't want to let go. He was afraid that Ji Mingqing would refuse him after he let go. Although the two had nothing to do with each other, he just didn't want to leave Ji Mingqing.

"Let me think about it." Ji Mingqing raised his hand and gently pushed Bai Cangze's shoulder, "You have to let me think about it."

Bai Cangze was somewhat discouraged. He loosened his grip and said to Ji Mingqing in a tone that showed a hint of weakness, "When you have the answer, you must tell me as soon as possible."

Ji Mingqing looked at Bai Cangze with a smile, "Alright, let me think about it."

Seeing Bai Cangze's tangled and helpless look, Ji Mingqing's heart softened, and then he stretched out his hands in Bai Cangze's direction, "Okay, I've thought about it."

When Bai Cangze saw Ji Mingqing's actions, his eyes, which had been dim at first, suddenly lit up.

Without even thinking, he took a step forward and hugged Ji Mingqing in his arms.

"So this is the answer you gave me, right? The book says that even if you respond, there must be a definite answer. So, do you want to be with me?"

After mentioning the book, Ji Mingqing became furious again. He tried to push Bai Cangze away, but Bai Cangze held him tightly in his arms and refused to move.

"Can you please let go?" Ji Mingqing was a little impatient, and then he heard Bai Cangze say, "I asked the question first this time, and polite people should answer first."

Ji Mingqing: "..."

"Okay, let's give it a try, but we have to make it clear first. If we're not suitable for each other, we have to separate peacefully...hiss, be gentle!"

"We won't separate!" Bai Cangze said with a firm tone, as if he had determined something very important.

Ji Mingqing punched Bai Cangze's back hard, "Let go! Why are you holding me so tight? It hurts so much! Don't you know how strong you are?"

Bai Cangze realized it later and gently stroked Ji Mingqing's back. Then Ji Mingqing felt a pure fairy energy flowing along his back to his limbs and bones.

"The book says..." Bai Cangze spoke weakly when he saw Ji Mingqing no longer cried out in pain. Ji Mingqing immediately retorted.

"Books, books, books! Don't mention what you read in books. No one learns about love by reading books. What can books teach you?"

Bai Cangze lowered his head and took a step forward, looking like he had done something wrong. Seeing him like this, Ji Mingqing softened his tone, "When two people are together, they can't just follow the instructions in the book. This isn't like refining an elixir or a formation. Love is ever-changing. You have to rely on your own instincts. Do you understand?"

Bai Cangze nodded obediently, "I understand."

Ji Mingqing was satisfied. He gently asked, "So what do you want to do now?"

Bai Cangze looked into Ji Mingqing's eyes and asked sincerely, "So I should follow my inner thoughts and not follow what's in the book?"

"That's natural. Don't be so rigid. When it comes to love, you need to be flexible. For example, you just forced me to come here from the inn. That was wrong!"

Bai Cangze seemed lost in thought, while Ji Mingqing continued to chatter, "And do you know how scared you were just now? I thought something had gone wrong with your work, like some intractable problem in the Immortal Realm. I was starting to feel guilty about you delaying your work because you were accompanying me to the small world!"

Bai Cangze nodded and said, "Sorry, I won't do it again."

Ji Mingqing looked at Bai Cangze with satisfaction, his eyes slightly raised with some pride. Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing's expression and even felt that the immortal energy in his body was a little restless.

"Just do whatever you want now, don't follow the book!" Ji Mingqing said to Bai Cangze.

Bai Cangze nodded obediently, then took a step forward, put his left arm around Ji Mingqing's waist, pressed the back of Ji Mingqing's head with his right hand, and in the face of Ji Mingqing's surprised expression, pressed his lips against Ji Mingqing's lips.

Bai Cangze's kiss was completely unstructured. At first, he just gently rubbed Ji Mingqing's lips, rubbing them back and forth. Just when Ji Mingqing wanted to open his mouth to scold him and tell him to back off, Bai Cangze, acting on instinct, held Ji Mingqing's lips hostage and rushed forward, not giving him a chance to close them.

Ji Mingqing was filled with confusion. Hadn't he told Bai Cangze not to follow the instructions in the book? That unreliable book must have taught that two people should kiss as soon as they were together. Damn that man, saying he'd obey one second and breaking his promise the next.

Ji Mingqing was immediately filled with anger. After all, he was a Golden Immortal now, and he would definitely not be as weak and powerless as before. He raised his head and responded to Bai Cangze with force.

How could a man who grew up in the age of modern information explosion lose to an old antique! Ji Mingqing just couldn't believe it. If he couldn't make Bai Cangze dizzy and weak in the knees, he would be sorry for all the love movies he had watched.

It’s a pity that although the idea was good, some mistakes still occurred in practice.

Ji Mingqing corrected some of Bai Cangze's practical mistakes, but Bai Cangze became even more excited because of this. The Lord of the Immortal Realm, who had always been calm and self-controlled, at this moment broke out the beast side of his nature.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Mingqing finally couldn't resist Bai Cangze's beastly behavior. He pushed Bai Cangze's shoulder and struggled weakly, "No, let me go."

But how could Bai Cangze, who had just tasted the sweetness, let him succeed so easily? When he felt that Ji Mingqing was completely exhausted and his body was beginning to fall, he picked up Ji Mingqing and let his legs wrap around his waist.

After feeling Bai Cangze's movements, Ji Mingqing was really speechless. With such a big movement, Bai Cangze didn't even leave his position. I don't know how he did it.

Although Bai Cangze was still excited, Ji Mingqing was already exhausted. He quickly showed weakness and said, "Let go, quickly!"

I thought that my verbal rejection would make Bai Cangze restrain himself, but I didn't realize that this weak voice sounded more like coquettish words to Bai Cangze.

Seeing the even more excited Bai Songze, Ji Mingqing was really a little scared. He pushed Bai Cangze's shoulder and took the opportunity to catch his breath to give him an ultimatum: "Do you still want to have a next time?"

After hearing this, Bai Cangze's body stiffened and he reluctantly left Ji Mingqing's lips. After leaving, the expression he looked at Ji Mingqing was still full of dissatisfaction and resentment.

Ji Mingqing was so angry that he almost laughed, "Put me down quickly!"

Bai Cangze looked around, then carried Ji Mingqing and walked towards a huge rock. Before Ji Mingqing could continue to scold him, Bai Cangze sat down on the rock. The two of them then sat on Bai Cangze face to face, which was even more ambiguous than before.

Ji Mingqing quickly practiced his magic, and after recovering some strength, he pushed Bai Cangze's chest again.

"Put me down quickly. Didn't I just tell you not to follow the routine in the book? You just ignored my words!" Ji Mingqing was so angry that he almost died.

Bai Shengze didn't know what Ji Mingqing was angry about, "I really didn't follow the routine in the book anymore."

Ji Mingqing raised his head, "Impossible, how does your book teach what two people should do after they get together?"

"The book says that when two people get together, they should take things step by step, starting with going out together. It should take at least a year before they can hold hands with each other's consent."

"But you just taught me to follow my heart. I don't want to wait a year to hold your hand. I want to kiss you right away. Is that wrong?"

Ji Mingqing opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. This time he was really shooting himself in the foot. If he had known earlier, he would have asked what was written in the book!

Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing in silence, and was about to move forward and continue to do what he instinctively did. Ji Mingqing quickly turned his head to avoid Bai Cangze's action.

Bai Cangze frowned, but still asked considerately, "Do you think I need to improve in any way? I haven't put the methods mentioned in the book into practice yet, and the book says to do more..."

"Alright, alright!" Ji Mingqing got a headache just hearing about books. He quickly jumped off Bai Cangze's body. "You kissed me so hard that I almost couldn't breathe. You have to let me rest for a while."

It turned out to be because of this. Bai Cangze's expression relaxed slightly. "How long do you need to rest?"

Ji Mingqing: "..."

Are you a beast!

The author has something to say:

Boo boo!

Kiss me hard!
