Duan Anluo, the founder of the Xuanmen sect and a peerless genius in the Xuanxue world, renowned at sixteen, mysteriously vanished at twenty-three, his fate unknown.
Five hundred years later,...
Chapter 95 It’s all Si Cang’s fault for being shameless!
This kiss was not a brief touch that was quick and easy. For a moment, both of them had irregular breathing.
I used to be pure and simple, but it was simply because I hadn’t met the right person.
Duan Anluo was almost suffocated by the kiss, and Si Cang used all his self-control to barely stop.
He gently stroked Duan Anluo's hot cheek, and his fingertips finally landed on the small mole at the end of the eye, which was like bright red cinnabar, with an alluring and captivating charm.
The hot kiss fell again, spreading from the corners of the eyes to the neck, and the palm of the hand pressed against the waist, touching every inch of skin was like a prairie fire, spreading heat.
The situation suddenly got out of control, and Duan Anluo urgently called a halt: "Si Cang!"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that her clear voice was tinged with lust and a bit hoarse.
The arm around his waist suddenly tightened, pressing him tightly against her chest. They were so close to each other that they could hear each other's heartbeats and feel each other's body reactions.
Duan Anluo's face was red as if blood was dripping out, "You, you are not okay?"
Si Cang took a deep breath and buried his face in Duan Anluo's neck and shoulders, trying to calm the surging desire. He asked dissatisfiedly: "Sleeping in the same bed with me every day, do you really think there is something wrong with me?"
Duan Anluo tried hard to regain his composure and casually said, "It's okay if we sleep separately."
Si Cang paused, then angrily pressed Duan Anluo onto the sofa behind him. How dare he utter the word "break up"?!
…
In the afternoon, when Duan Anluo arrived at the guild, he didn't dare go to the president's office. He went directly to Si Cang's lounge like a frightened ostrich.
Assistant Fang came over with a pile of documents and teased as soon as he entered, "Captain Si was worried you might faint again, so he asked me to come and look after you. Are you still not well?"
He slammed the documents on the table, looked up, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with your mouth? Did you eat spicy food behind my back?"
After a pause, he asked again: "What's wrong with your neck?"
Duan Anluo subconsciously reached out to cover his mouth, his heart pounding. Because of his thoughtless words, the situation got out of control.
He hadn't expected Si Cang to react so strongly. He simply... wanted to eat him. He himself, too, had no self-control at all. He was truly insane!
Fortunately, she remembered his words "No breaking the rules before marriage" and braked in time, but she didn't brake much. Si Cang was simply a wolf. When she thought of the other's eyes, Duan Anluo's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
Duan Anluo subconsciously clenched his fist, then suddenly loosened it, his fingertips trembling. He subconsciously clenched it again, pretending to be calm: "It was a mosquito bite."
Assistant Fang paused, then suddenly realized what was happening. His eyes instantly became ambiguous. "Oh, I understand."
Duan Anluo said angrily: "You know shit!"
Assistant Fang grinned, "Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder Captain Si is in such a good mood, it's scary."
Duan Anluo raised his eyes and calmly watched the other person winking and teasing. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll curse you to have food allergies and give you diarrhea no matter what you eat."
"No, you're too cruel!" Assistant Fang quickly admitted his mistake, "I was just talking nonsense. I was wrong."
Duan Anluo turned his head away, ignoring him and instead found the small sunflower, asking it to help remove the red marks on his neck. He had to go home tomorrow, and this thing could easily lead to misunderstandings.
After not seeing it for a while, the little sunflower's flower disk has obviously grown bigger, and the roots have become much thicker, and can now firmly grasp the ground.
Duan Anluo gently touched its flower disk and whispered, "Have you grown up?"
Assistant Fang put down his things and went to the lounge next door to order two cups of coffee.
Only high-ranking officials can come to this floor, and the service facilities are very good. When he came back with two cups of coffee, he noticed at a glance that the mark on Duan Anluo's neck had become lighter. He was holding a ball that he couldn't see in his hands and talking in a mysterious manner.
He handed a cup of coffee to Duan Anluo, leaned closer and asked curiously, "Let me see, what is it?"
Duan Anluo glanced at him. It seemed that such an ordinary person without any spiritual power could enter this department. Assistant Fang was indeed extraordinary. He was worthy of being the descendant of that man and had a good brain inherited from his ancestors.
Duan Anluo temporarily opened his third eye so that he could see these spirits. "Look at these mild things. It won't affect your fortune, but try not to come into contact with scary ghosts. It's not good for you."
Assistant Fang smiled and said, "I work here, who can come in and scare me?"
He held the little sunflower carefully, his eyes shining: "How cute! Can it survive if planted in a pen holder?"
"If you like it, you can keep it here for a few days. Don't worry about anything. It will bask in the sun and find water to drink by itself." Duan Anluo picked up the coffee and took a sip, but suddenly frowned and spit it all into the trash can with a "puff".
Assistant Fang asked disdainfully, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's so unpalatable!" Duan Anluo frowned with a look of disgust.
Assistant Fang also had a look of disgust on his face, "You're just not used to drinking, you antique."
Duan Anluo took out a gold bar and asked, "Isn't the antique good?"
Assistant Fang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, you keep it for yourself. I don't want it."
Duan Anluo stuffed it into his pocket and said, "I told you I'd give you one, take it."
Assistant Fang stuffed it back and said, "I'll take it if you buy food. This thing is too expensive. I don't want it."
"Really? There's no regret medicine."
"No, I said no, so I don't want it." Assistant Fang held the little sunflower's face and twisted it around. "Next time, give it to me, get me a cheaper one."
Duan Anluo could only put it back in his pocket. Forget it, he took it back and hid it.
After a while, there was a noise outside, and Bai Ziyue walked in: "Hey~ Brother Duan is here? Where's the boss?"
Assistant Fang: "I'm in a meeting."
Ling Feng arrived shortly after, nodded to Duan Anluo, and asked, "Where's the captain?"
Assistant Fang: "I'm in a meeting."
Not long after, the monk stood at the door and asked, "Is the captain not here?"
Assistant Fang put his hands on his hips in annoyance and said, "Are you all here to look for the parents? He's in a meeting, he's not here!"
Duan Anluo smiled and said, "He's free tonight. How about you all go to his house for dinner tonight?"
Bai Ziyue said happily, "Sure."
Ling Feng and Mo Yan looked at him speechlessly. What was so good about it? The old man's house was so deserted, there was no stove or furnace, and you had to boil water for instant noodles yourself. What would they eat at his house?
Bai Ziyue said with a smile: "Brother Duan, the dish you ordered last time was good. The beef stew, you need two servings, otherwise it won't be enough."
Duan Anluo smiled and agreed: "Okay, I want two servings, and one of them is just for you, so you can eat your fill."
Ling Feng and the monk then realized that Bai Ziyue had eaten alone when they were unaware.
Looking at the expression in Duan Anluo's eyes, the two of them exchanged a glance. It had been a while since they'd been there, so it would be okay to go over and sit for a while. That is, will they really not be kicked out by the boss?
When Si Cang finished his work, it was already dark. He came to pick up Duan Anluo and found that Duan Anluo was surrounded by three annoying people. The three of them were playing games with Duan Anluo, and there was another person who was scolding them for being unkind while working.
Si Cang thought he had walked into the wrong lounge, but after confirming that it was his room, he asked, "Why are you all here?"
"I'm looking for you, but you're not here. Wait until we finish this game," Bai Ziyue looked up at Si Cang, "let's all go to your house for dinner. Brother Duan has already ordered the food."
Si Cang: “…”
There will be more and more strange things in the house.
Bai Ziyue reminded Duan Anluo: "Brother, come quickly, this pile is all yours, take whatever you want."
Duan Anluo kept his head down and didn't say anything, his cheeks flushed.
Si Cang sat down next to Duan Anluo, leaning against him, and looked at the little Taoist priest on the phone who was wearing a set of legendary top-level equipment but couldn't use any skills accurately, and chuckled.
Duan Anluo glared at him in dissatisfaction, "What are you laughing at? This is my first time playing, it won't be normal."
Si Cang followed his words and said, "Yes, it's normal."
His eyes fell on Duan Anluo's collarbone. It was gone so quickly?
Seeing the little sunflower lying on Assistant Fang's head, Si Cang made a "tsk" sound. There were more and more strange things around Duan Anluo.
When the others heard him laugh, they all turned their attention to him, their eyes full of shock.
Is the boss possessed by something dirty?
Do you want to perform a ritual to help the deceased?
The boss in the game had a very high IQ. When he noticed that they were not moving, he immediately used a big move. Countless undead rushed out of the cave and ate them - the game failed!
Duan Anluo couldn't even use this skill accurately, so he was destined to be eaten.
Duan Anluo said angrily: "It's all your fault, you're causing trouble!"
Si Cang looked innocent. He didn't do anything. These four people were so stupid.
Under Duan Anluo's gaze, he didn't dare to say anything.
"Okay, let's go home." Si Cang took Duan Anluo's hand and stood up, his face gentle for once. "Assistant Fang, are you going with us? Let's do it tomorrow."
Assistant Fang stood up flattered and almost shouted: Thank you, Lord.
After being disturbed by this, Duan Anluo's awkward feeling was diluted a lot, "Don't pull me, I know the way."
Si Cang loosened his hand and instead grabbed the corner of Duan Anluo's clothes, gently pulling it down, silently trying to please him.
Duan Anluo couldn't hold it in anymore and was amused. He pushed Si Cang in front of him, saying he disliked him but still pushing him out with a smile on his face, "Hurry up and look forward, you're so annoying!"
Duan Anluo shook his head violently. He didn't blame himself for not being able to control himself, but blamed Si Cang for being shameless! He was actually tugging at his clothes and acting like a spoiled child. Shameless! He had no moral bottom line! He couldn't stand it!
When there were many people around at night, all the ambiguity was diluted. Duan Anluo took advantage of Si Cang being downstairs, secretly went upstairs, and threw all his quilts and pillows back into his original bedroom.
You have to live separately, otherwise something bad may happen.
After everyone left, Si Cang went upstairs and found that Duan Anluo had locked the door.
Si Cang saw all of Duan Anluo's little movements, but he did not stop him and pretended not to see them.
Si Cang leaned against the door frame, one hand in his pocket, and asked slowly, "Aren't you going to take responsibility?"
Duan Anluo was stunned. Responsible? No, he didn't get any advantage.
Si Cang asked, "Duan Anluo, you've touched everything you should have touched. You don't want to take responsibility, do you?"
"...I, you..." Duan Anluo choked. Was he being forced into marriage?
Si Cang's voice was deep and full of laughter: "I don't need you to go through the formalities of marriage and formalities, or go through a sedan chair carried by eight people. I will marry you with all the wealth of the Si family. Do you want it?"
Duan Anluo's heart skipped a beat and he quickly opened the door. "Are you sure? Marriage is such a big deal, are you really not going to think about it again?"
Si Cang's lips curled up, "What are you considering?"
Duan Anluo said seriously: "I am not the eldest son in the family. I don't know how to manage the family business, and I don't know how to do business. I am alone and I take things as they come. I don't want to have a big future. I just want to live..." Duan Anluo wanted to say "It's okay to die", but suddenly stopped and couldn't say the words.
He didn't know when it started, but he changed his mind. He used to think that living was enough, and dying was fine, and he could be buried wherever he died. Now he didn't want to die. On the contrary, since he had finally lived, he just wanted to live well and happily.
Si Cang looked into his eyes, "What do I need those things for? What I want is... I'm marrying you, not your status. In my eyes, your abilities are unmatched. Those so-called geniuses can't compare to you just by lifting a finger. What else do I have to consider?"
Duan Anluo pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth unable to suppress their upward curling, "I want it! I'll urge my eldest brother to get married when I get back."
"…What does this have to do with your elder brother?"
Duan Anluo's eyes curved with a smile, "There's an order of seniority. He's not married yet, and if I get married before him, it would be an offense to my brother and the etiquette. He must get married first."
Si Cang was speechless as Duan Anjian was choking him again.
The next day, Duan Anluo returned home, and the first thing he asked was, "Where's my big brother?"
Lin Wanqiu said, "Your elder brother won't be back until tonight."
Duan Anluo asked, "When will he get married? If that doesn't work out, I'll draw a portrait and ask him to find me a sister-in-law based on that look."
Si Cang patted Duan Anluo's hand and told him not to worry. They still had a long time to live together, and Duan Anluo couldn't run away.
Duan Anluo thought Si Cang was "pressuring me to get married" and said, "Tell him to find one quickly, I'm anxious."
Lin Wanqiu watched the little gestures between the two and instantly understood what they meant. She smiled and said, "Those etiquettes are a thing of the past. We don't need to care about them now. Your brother has his own plans. If he can't find the person he wants, he can be single for the rest of his life. You don't have to worry about him."
Duan Anluo shook his head seriously, "It's okay, I'll wait a little longer."
He may ignore other etiquette, but Duan Anluo cannot ignore his elder brother.
Si Cang comforted him, "It's okay, it's just a good opportunity for me to save more money."
Duan Anluo said apologetically, "I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."
Si Cang curled his lips, "I'm not wronged."
Lin Wanqiu was confused. What were these two kids talking about?
Si Cang had other things to do in the afternoon, so he returned to headquarters after lunch. According to the schedule, he wouldn't be able to pick up Duan Anluo that evening. After all, the journey wasn't short; it would take more than three hours to go there and back.
After Si Cang left, Duan Duohai saw that Duan Anluo had nothing to do and asked casually, "I heard that you like fishing now?"
Duan Anluo raised his eyes: "Who told you that?"
Duan Duohai was choked and said awkwardly, "I heard from your eldest brother that I bought a fishing rod. Do you want to go fishing with me?"
He actually wanted to ease the relationship with his son, but he didn't know how to start. He quietly asked his secretary to buy two sets of good fishing rods, hoping to find an opportunity to be alone with Duan Anluo.
"I know the owner of a fishing spot. There are fewer people there in the afternoon. Do you want to come with me?"
Duan Anluo was a little surprised: "Aren't you busy?"
"Not busy," Duan Duohai immediately replied, "I'm not busy."
Lin Wanqiu, who was watching beside her, couldn't stand it any longer and said helplessly to her husband, "You're such a weird person. Is it really that hard to just say you want to play with your son?"
Duan Anluo felt his heart soften when he saw his father's frustrated yet forced calm expression.
Looking at the corners of his eyes, the wrinkles are more obvious.
He had resentment before, but it was from his previous life.
I have complained enough and I am angry enough, but it is God's mercy that I can see him again.
Duan Anluo had been sulking for so long, and looking at his father's wrinkles and the few new white hairs on his forehead, his anger had almost disappeared.
He nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you."
Duan Duohai immediately smiled and quickly packed up his things and took his son out to play.
The driver on the road looked in the rearview mirror and said with emotion: "When the second young master was a child, he was very happy when he heard that he was going out to play."
Duan Anluo smiled but didn't respond. The two memories collided, and many past events had already become blurred. But he thought, back then, he must have been genuinely happy.
When they arrived at the fishing spot, the father and son sat down side by side and held up their fishing rods for a long time, but there was no movement.
Duan Anluo was not in a hurry, he just looked at the water quietly.
Xiaobai couldn't help but quietly go into the water, swam around a circle, and came back eager to try: "Hiss~ Do you want me to help you underwater?"
Duan Anluo pressed his finger lightly: "No need."
He didn't like eating fish anyway, so it didn't matter if he couldn't catch any. It was nice to just look at the scenery.
This fishing spot is nestled between the mountains and the water, with sluice gates on both sides and a river running through it. When there's a shortage of water, the gates can be opened to let water in, giving it a sense of being part aquaculture and part native. Furthermore, the mountains in the distance are beautiful, and sitting here is very relaxing.
Duan Duohai's side had no fish, and fishing required a combination of technique, line, and bait. He only cared about spending time with his son, so how could he understand these details?
Xiaobai hissed softly: But, there is something under the water.
"What?"
Xiaobai: Human fragments hiss~
Duan Anluo raised his eyebrows. He didn't see any negative aura. Could it be that she was like that female ghost, whose resentment was sucked away after being killed?
Tsk, it must be Old Duan’s bad luck.
"Can you hook it over?"
Xiaobai hissed: It’s too far, the fishhook can’t reach there.
Duan Anluo was silent for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he slowly said, "Go and drag it over here and hang it on my dad's hook."
Duan Duohai noticed the float being pulled down, and his eyes lit up: "Caught a fish?"
He tugged, but the rod in his hand suddenly sank. "It's so heavy, Luo Luo, it's a big fish!"
Duan Anluo threw down his fishing rod and clapped his hands like a seal: "Dad, you're awesome!"
