Chapter 99: Warm and Daily Life (Part 3) Arriving at the bookstore, as...

When they arrived at the bookstore, just like before, Li Youyang read books while Bei Liyuan was responsible for finding books for customers and collecting money.

By evening, there were no more guests. Bei Liyuan asked, "Master, shall we go home?"

Li Youyang coughed twice to cover up: "Um...well, wait until I finish reading it."

Bei Liyuan naturally saw what Li Youyang meant, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he approached casually and said, "Okay, then I'll clean it up."

Li Youyang hummed, "It might take me a long time. You can go back after you finish packing."

Bei Liyuan agreed verbally, but in reality he was getting closer and closer to Li Youyang. When they were about the same distance, he suddenly moved, holding him in his arms, and said softly, "It won't happen tonight. Trust me."

Li Youyang didn't believe it at all. This person had never told the truth about this matter.

Bei Liyuan picked up Li Youyang and said softly, "Let's go home."

As a result, Li Youyang was tortured again that night, but only three times, and it was indeed not as crazy as yesterday. Bei Liyuan was considered to have restrained himself a lot.

The next three months were like this. Bei Liyuan was very restrained, occasionally asking for one or two more times, and his movements would be a little more intense. Li Youyang gradually let down his guard.

Two years later, Li Youyang tossed and turned all night. After taking a bath, he did not wake up until noon. Bei Liyuan prepared the meal. Li Youyang got up, washed, and then accompanied Bei Liyuan for dinner.

After Bei Liyuan finished eating, he supported his head with one hand and looked at Li Youyang with a smile.

Li Youyang frowned: "What are you grinning about?"

Bei Liyuan said softly: "Nothing."

I thought to myself, the frog is still being boiled in warm water, and my master didn't even notice it.

But the next moment, Li Youyang muttered softly, "Li Yuan doesn't seem to be as strong as before recently. Should I buy him some nourishment?"

Bei Liyuan's laughter faltered instantly. Did he...did he regress?! No, right? No, no, the other party would definitely be the one to sense this kind of thing. No, I need to exercise. Or maybe drink some deer blood?

Li Youyang raised the corner of his lips invisibly. Boiling a frog in warm water, did he really think he was stupid? It was just his own will.

Then, that day, Bei Liyuan searched for some rare books and studied them carefully. That night, he tried many methods on Li Youyang, until Li Youyang finally got out of bed, holding his waist and saying, "It's not working. We'll fight again tomorrow."

Bei Liyuan curled his lips, pulled the man back to the bed, leaned over and whispered seductively in his ear: "Wasn't it Master who disliked his disciple first? Why are you the one who's scared now?"

Li Youyang hurriedly said: "I said this on purpose during the day. I just wanted to tease you."

"Oh? Really?"

"Yes, it is true."

"Then, Master, is my work good? Are you satisfied?"

"Life is good, satisfied, very satisfied, extremely satisfied."

"Since Master is satisfied, why are you running? Keep going."

"Don't... I admit my mistake, I'm a coward, can you please forgive me this time? My old waist really can't take it anymore."

Bei Liyuan smiled, and Li Youyang thought he had given up, but the next moment he whispered hoarsely in his ear, "Sorry, Master, I can't forgive you at all!"

"Beiliyuan! Give me... well..."

…

An hour later, Li Youyang finally managed to catch his breath. Furious and weak, he threatened, "Bei Liyuan, if you dare come again, you won't be able to sleep with me for three months!"

Bei Liyuan looked at Li Youyang passionately, with a hint of amusement on the corner of his lips: "Master, are you threatening me?"

Li Youyang subconsciously wanted to run, but Bei Liyuan got him in first and said, "Three months? Then I'll keep Master out of bed for three months. See how you're going to stop me."

"Beili... Ugh!"

Li Youyang's angry voice was swallowed by Bei Liyuan...

Half an hour later, Li Youyang begged for mercy: "No, Li Yuan, I was wrong. I admit my mistake. I will never make such a joke again. You are the best, you are the most powerful. Please forgive me this time, okay?"

Bei Liyuan held Li Youyang's waist and said in a difficult tone: "But, I have only tried one-third of this booklet. The remaining two-thirds..."

"Try slowly, try slowly...you will eventually finish it."

"But Master wants me to stay out of bed for three months?"

"No, no, you can go up, you can go up!"

Bei Liyuan curled his lips and then let go of the person: "Master, wait, I'll go get some water."

After Bei Liyuan came back from fetching water, he didn't see Li Youyang. He hurriedly released his spiritual energy to look for him, and then he was kicked hard in the back and fell directly into the bathtub.

"Master, if you have something to say, please speak nicely. If you have something to say, please speak nicely."

Li Youyang didn't say anything at all, and just beat him up!

From then on, Li Youyang would teach Bei Liyuan tricks every day, and every day he would torment Bei Liyuan until he was completely exhausted and had to crawl back to sleep.

Bei Liyuan also wanted to turn the tables, but firstly, he was reluctant to actually do it, and secondly, he was indeed no match for Li Youyang at the moment, so he could only be beaten.

After beating him for three months, Bei Liyuan got up almost subconsciously at the crowing of the cock, but he didn't see Li Youyang. He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go back to sleep when he heard Li Youyang's cold voice: "Master said you can't go to bed for three months, so I will keep you out of bed for three months, not a single day less. With this lesson, let's see if you dare to mess around again."

Bei Liyuan hurriedly stood up and walked to Li Youyang's side, saying softly, "Master, you've been beating me for three months now. Has your anger subsided?"

Li Youyang was silent.

"I've been a vegetarian for three months. Master, could you give me some meat tonight?"

Li Youyang remained silent.

That night, Bei Liyuan finally climbed onto Li Youyang's bed, but he was not going to change his bad habits at all. He had to vent all the anger he had accumulated for three months at once. Apart from getting beaten, he had been busy during these three months. He had memorized the picture album thoroughly and was just waiting for the opportunity to master it.

For three days and three nights, Li Youyang begged for mercy countless times, but Bei Liyuan pretended not to hear him at all. He tried four-fifths of the way through the picture album before finally letting him go.

Then he was beaten again.

Bei Liyuan did feel a little regretful the first time, but this trick was completely useless later. After being beaten by Li Youyang, he had no psychological burden at all and simply threw restraint behind his mind. Once he got the chance to catch Li Youyang, he would never let go and tried one picture album after another!

The pain is real pain, and the happiness is also real happiness. It should be said to be bliss, the ultimate happiness!

A year passed like this between the two of them. Li Youyang discovered that Bei Liyuan became more and more excited as they fought, so he took the initiative to ask for peace. Bei Liyuan agreed immediately. He said nice things with his mouth, but in bed he changed into a completely different face, with all kinds of moves and was extremely fierce.

Gradually, Li Youyang became too lazy to do it anymore. It was useless anyway, so he felt like accepting his fate. Besides, he was happy about this kind of thing. However, he woke up with a sore back the next day, so he still had to exercise to replenish his body.

On this day, Bei Liyuan got a new booklet. When he tried it with Li Youyang in the evening, he was surprised to find that Li Youyang actually began to cooperate with him actively, which made him very happy.

This night, the two of them enjoyed a new level of happiness.

After finishing, Bei Liyuan hugged Li Youyang and said emotionally: "Master, I really want to keep going like this."

Li Youyang touched his black hair, turned around and kissed his lips gently: "Me too, I like days like this."

Bei Liyuan suddenly smiled foolishly.

"why are you laughing?"

Bei Liyuan said softly, "It's just that when I think about how Master was originally an immortal who lived in seclusion from the mundane world, yet I tricked him into coming to the mortal world by all means, I feel like I've taken too much advantage of him, and I also feel like Master has been wronged."

Li Youyang was silent.

"Master, why aren't you talking?"

"I was thinking that after hearing you say that, I seem to be at a disadvantage."

"Really?"

Bei Liyuan narrowed his eyes dangerously: "It seems that I am still... um"

Li Youyang swallowed the rest of his words. After a lingering kiss, Li Youyang let him go. "You didn't trick me into the mortal world. You brought me into the human world. You showed me the prosperity of the world, let me experience all the beauty of the world, and let me feel the joy of life. You painted a colorful scene on my originally boring white paper. You brought color and vitality to my life, and let me truly live it once."

Bei Liyuan looked at Li Youyang with a gentle expression, "How foolish! It was you who pulled me out of purgatory, but I lured you down from the altar."

…

"I haven't been to the bookstore in such a long time. It must be covered in dust. I wonder what's become of the books inside. Are they getting damp or being eaten by insects?"

"No matter what, I have to take it out and let it air in the sun."

When they were almost at the bookstore, they both stopped at the same time and tried to run quickly, but they were still a step too late and were blocked by Fu Guangjun.

"You're going to lose everything running a bookshop like this sooner or later. I originally thought I'd wait a few days for you to come over, but now it's been a year. Finally, you're here, but you're running away without a word. After all, we're considered special old friends, aren't we?"

Bei Liyuan crossed his arms: "An old friend who caused Master's death twice is of course special."

Fu Guangjun smiled and said, "So I came to atone for my sins."

"Don't... My master and I are living a peaceful life now, and I don't want to get involved with a big shot like you."

Fu Guangjun looked at Li Youyang and said, "What do you say? After so many years of good life, isn't it time to do some work?"

Li Youyang said coldly, "I already said that I would retire from the world of cultivation. The affairs of the cultivation world have nothing to do with me anymore. Li Yuan, let's go."

Fu Guangjun clenched his fist and smiled. "You can hide, but Li Youyang, after a thousand years of companionship, I know you too well. Your personality means you can't really ignore the world. I'm looking for you only to tell you one thing. Divine Master Lingye said that in Divine Master Yuchen's soul illusion, he saw the leader of the Red Fire Clan who has found a way to re-enter the Kyushu Continent. He may return to the world soon. I won't force you to return, but it depends on your own wishes. I have said this and will not bother you any more. If you decide to return, you can come to the Demon Clan to find me."

After Fu Guangjun left, Bei Liyuan stretched and said, "We are here only when Jiuzhou is here. It seems that these leisurely days are over."

Li Youyang's face was filled with displeasure. "They're just as unpleasant as before. Why are they telling us this? If the Red Fire Clan descended upon Jiuzhou, would we be able to see it? Would we be able to remain unscathed? The Red Fire Clan hasn't descended yet, and we can't stop them. Yet they insist on telling us they're coming so we can start fighting amongst ourselves today."

Bei Liyuan smiled and agreed, "Indeed, I am even less likable than before."

In the Hongyun Teahouse, the storyteller stopped abruptly at the crucial point: "To know what happens next, please listen to the next chapter."

"It's always like this, keeping people on edge at the critical moment."

"If not, who will come to listen next time? Let's go and come back tomorrow."

"This storyteller is not only good-looking, but also tells wonderful stories. I wonder if he's married?"

"Why is Young Master Sun feeling amorous again?"

"Get out of here."

When most of the people had left, the storyteller approached the man in white sitting in the first row and said, "Master, I've counted the number of people here today. There are fifty-three of them in total. As we agreed before, we'll have six sessions tonight."

Li Youyang frowned: "Round it off, five times."

Bei Liyuan curled his lips: "Rounding it off, that should be ten times!"

Li Youyang glared at Bei Liyuan, who smiled indulgently, "Five times, okay, five times."

"Long time no see, Xihe."

Li Youyang turned around and the God of Chenyu came over.

Bei Liyuan's eyes darkened slightly. Not to mention that this person was his love rival, it was impossible for the God Chenyu himself to appear here.

"Why, after not seeing you for so many years, you don't recognize me? Even though countless years have passed, we still look the same. How could we not recognize each other?"

Li Youyang said coldly, "Who are you? I have never seen you before."

Bei Liyuan was stunned for a moment, then he understood Li Youyang's idea and pretended not to know it.

The God of Chenyu sat down next to Li Youyang and asked, "Xihe, are you kidding me?"

"You have mistaken me for someone else. I am not Xihe. My name is Li Youyang."

Lord Yuchen looked at Li Youyang carefully. He looked exactly like Xihe, but his aura was indeed different. However, this person did have Xihe's spiritual aura. Could it be a reincarnation?

Li Youyang stood up and said, "Li Yuan, let's go."

When they reached the door, Yu Chen said coldly, "Wait."

The two ignored him. Yu Chen's eyes darkened as a killing array attacked them. Bei Liyuan waved his sleeves to dispel the killing array, turned around and looked at Yu Chen Divine Master coldly: "We are strangers to you, Your Excellency. It is really rude of you to be so rude."

Yuchen Divine Venerable sneered and looked at Li Youyang: "Xihe, I was imprisoned for you back then, and I escaped with untold hardships. But you are paired with someone else. How can I accept this?"

Bei Liyuan said coldly: "My master's name is Li Youyang, not the Xihe you are talking about. If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being merciless."

Yuchen Divine Venerable's eyes darkened. "He was originally my Taoist partner. You stole my love and took advantage of him. I want to see how ruthless you are."

Bei Liyuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Nonsense, incomprehensible."

Li Youyang said coldly, "I really don't know you, please don't bother me."

"Xihe!"

There was no emotion in Li Youyang's eyes.

Yu Chen sighed deeply. "Back then, foreigners invaded the Jiuzhou Continent. You and I fought side by side to stop the disaster. I sacrificed my life to save you and pushed the foreign leader, Qiongcang, back to the gate, while you sealed the gate. Perhaps you were also seriously injured and entered the reincarnation cycle, so you didn't recognize me. But you and I were already Taoist companions at that time..."

Bei Liyuan swung out with his sword, and Yu Chen met it with his sword, and then both sides took a step back.

Bei Liyuan was about to move again, but Li Youyang stopped him. "What is your purpose in doing this? If you want to cheat us out of money, we are both very poor and have to rely on storytelling to make a living. If you want to kidnap us, then you can leave. We never interact with outsiders, and there is no way we will leave with you just because of a few words."

Yuchen: ???

Li Youyang continued, "Your Excellency has all the necessary limbs and a high level of cultivation. There's really no need for you to engage in such an unethical business. You should find a decent job."

Yuchen: ...

"Li Yuan, let's go."

Yu Chen was annoyed, and he dodged to block their way and said solemnly: "Xihe!"

Li Youyang sighed helplessly, "Li Yuan, give this young man two pieces of silver. It's really not easy to get entangled like this."

It's really hard to describe how Master wants to play a trick on someone! Bei Liyuan's lips could hardly be suppressed. He thought carefully about the sad things in the past, then suppressed it and took out two pieces of silver and handed them to Yuchen.

'Yu Chen' took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and his hands trembled slightly with anger. He originally wanted to use Yu Chen's body to disturb Xihe, and let Xihe introduce his heroic identity to the world, and then control the monks of Jiuzhou and invade Jiuzhou faster. But he never expected that Xihe would not recognize Yu Chen at all after reincarnation.

Since the other party didn't recognize him, there was no point in pretending anymore. Fortunately, he stopped pretending: "Xihe... No, your name is Li Youyang now. Listen carefully, I am Ming Qiong Cang, the leader of the Red Fire Clan. If you know what's good for you, you will submit to me..."

Li Youyang looked at Bei Liyuan: "Have you heard of the Red Fire Clan?"

Bei Liyuan shook his head: "I have heard of the demon tribe and the devil tribe, but I have never heard of the Red Fire Tribe. It seems that there is no such tribe in our Jiuzhou Continent."

Li Youyang uttered a meaningful "oh" and looked at the sky with a pitiful look in his eyes: "Li Yuan, give him some more change. He's so young, and he's already going crazy."

Bei Liyuan echoed, "How pitiful! Master, do you think ten taels is enough?"

"We won't go over it if we're a spendthrift. Five taels is more than enough."

Qiongcang's face immediately changed several colors, and finally he turned and left with a muffled groan.

After Qiongcang walked away, Beiliyuan could no longer hold back his laughter.

Li Youyang looked at him coldly, and Bei Liyuan tried to hold it back, but the next moment Li Youyang couldn't help laughing, and Bei Liyuan also laughed when he saw this.

After laughing, Li Youyang said seriously, "Since Qiongcang has arrived, it means that other cultivators of the Red Fire Clan will also invade one after another. Since Qiongcang has set his sights on Yuchen, I can't get through here, so I must go find Lingye. I will send a message to Lingye to warn him, and you send a message to Fuguang Jun to have them prepare."

Bei Liyuan nodded: "Okay."

…

On Mount Jiuhua, after receiving Li Youyang's letter, Lord Lingye's eyes darkened. "Yuchen, he's finally here. I must take your body back and kill him with my own hands to avenge you."

The next day, Qiong Cang came to Jiuhua Mountain: "Ling Ye, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you okay?"

Ling Ye Divine Master pretended to be shocked: "Yu Chen? Is it really you?"

Qiong Cang nodded: "I went to look for Xihe, but he didn't recognize me. Do you know what happened?"

Ling Ye said coldly, "You truly have deep affection for him. Back then, I thought you were dead, so I started hunting him down. He was filled with guilt, so I killed him. It's normal for him not to recognize you in this reincarnation."

Chasing and killing, Qiong Cang caught the key point in his eyes, the corners of his lips curled up, and he continued: "The three of us have been friends for many years, and we don't blame him for what happened back then. You..."

"You are blaming me. I avenged you, but you blame me!"

Qiong Cang sighed, "Forget it. Now that it's over, there's no point in pursuing it. Ling Ye, Qiong Cang will soon return to Jiuzhou. I've gotten to know the Red Fire Clan very well over the years. Could you introduce me to the others and let me lead them in resisting the Red Fire Clan?"

Ling Ye sneered, "Back then, we fought the calamity for these people. I'm the only one left out of the three of us. Now that you've returned, how could I let you take risks again? Just stay here. What does the survival of Jiuzhou have to do with us?"

Sky: ???

What's going on with these two people? One has lost his memory and doesn't recognize me, while the other one is just giving up and doesn't want to care about the life and death of Jiuzhou Continent anymore: "Ling Ye, that's not what I said..."

Ling Ye interrupted directly: "If you want to persuade me to deal with this mess, then leave. I will not care about it anymore. If you think it through, then stay here with me. Even if the sky falls, I will protect you."

Qiongcang was so angry that his fingertips trembled slightly, but the passage has not been officially opened yet, and only a small number of cultivators from the Red Fire Clan have come with him. He must use Yuchen's identity to cast the Soul-Clamping Curse on the cultivators from Jiuzhou. There is no chance on Xihe's side. Although it is difficult on Lingye's side, there is still some hope, so he chose to stay.

…

Upon receiving the news, Fuguang Jun, the demon clan, immediately sought out Jiuying and Yaosheng to discuss countermeasures. Ultimately, the two sides established three lines of defense. With Fuguang Mountain as the center, each additional line of defense extended outward for every thousand miles. Cultivators below the Golden Immortal level and ordinary people moved to the innermost line of defense. Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals operated within the second line of defense, while Daluo Golden Immortals and above were responsible for guarding the third line of defense. Furthermore, a cultivator above the rank of Half-Saint was required to man the third line of defense every thousand miles. If they could no longer withstand the pressure, they would retreat.

After deciding on a countermeasure, the three tribes began to act. The Red Fire Tribe discovered the abnormality and wanted to report it to Qiong Cang, but Qiong Cang was in Jiuhua Mountain, so they couldn't pass on the information at all. Without orders, they couldn't respond.

Ten days later, the personnel of the three tribes had been transferred and began to discuss the specific defense strategies for each line of defense. Finally, it was decided to establish a large protective formation first, and start from the first line of defense.

A month later, the first line of defense was completed, and then the construction of the second line began. Two months later, the second line was completed, and finally the third and outermost line was built.

…

Qiongcang has lived on Mount Jiuhua for nearly four months, but Lingye just drinks tea and feeds fish every day, and has no intention of coming out. Qiongcang can't sit still anymore, and finally can't help but find Lingye to persuade him earnestly, but he almost talked his mouth off, but Lingye just didn't move and insisted on not going.

Qiong Cang had already seen clearly that no matter how much he said, it would be useless. If he had known this would happen, why would he have gone to so much trouble to occupy this body? Not to mention the risk of awakening the soul consciousness in this body, his own cultivation was also suppressed. It was simply not worth it.

Forget it, I'd better go down the mountain and find a way to open the passage as soon as possible to let the Red Fire Clan army in. But it's impossible to rule the Kyushu continent without bloodshed, so some damage is acceptable.

Moreover, Xihe and Lingye’s current status is not a bad thing for the Chihuo Clan. If they don’t take charge, the process will be relatively simple.
