Chapter 77 Fertile Fusion I want to sleep with you and enjoy the pleasures of fertility. ...

"Why did you come over so suddenly? I thought you were already asleep." As soon as Shen Jiuxu stepped out the door, he turned to Jiang Yu and asked in a low voice. His expression looked very serious, with a meticulous focus, as if talking to Jiang Yu was the most important thing to him right now.

"How can I sleep if my beloved doesn't come back?"

Jiang Yu smiled and reached out to grab Shen Jiuxu's smooth hair. The flowing blue hair ribbon was something they had bought together yesterday when they went out together at Qingyun Ladder.

"I'll come back earlier next time."

Shen Jiuxu's ears turned red as he listened. He was suddenly relieved that it was already late at night and pitch black, so Jiang Yu should not be able to see his face.

You seem very hot.

Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow and reached out to touch his earlobe. Shen Jiuxu trembled, took a deep breath, and calmed down. "He's probably drunk."

"Even when drunk, she's still so well-behaved."

Shen Jiuxu lowered his eyes and refused to look at him. Jiang Yu's speaking skills seemed too good, and he couldn't handle them at all. It was only a day since they last met, but it felt like they had met all over again. He had the memories, but he still jumped into the pit called "Jiang Yu" without hesitation once again.

"Brother Jiang Yu, thank you for coming to see me today."

He deliberately lowered his voice, and Lian Quesheng, who was sneaking around beside the two, wished he had four ears so he could hear what they were saying.

It seems he really is a bit drunk.

Jiang Yu thought to himself, this title and these unusually formal words are only used when someone is not in a good state of mind. In that case, drinking a little alcohol is not such a bad thing.

"Hey, Jiang Yu, are you really going to let that arrogant Lian Feng off so easily?" Lian Quesheng finally seized the opportunity when the two of them fell silent.

“Jiu Xu is still young. The other two have been in Shen Wu Ke for a long time, and both the disciples and the people around them are more familiar with them.”

Jiang Yu explained, "Moreover, after today, there shouldn't be any more trouble in the short term. Everything will be settled after the succession ceremony in a few days."

“I thought you wouldn’t want him to be the sect leader.” Lian Quesheng stammered, a hint of hesitation on his face. “...After all, you want to travel around. If Jiuxu really becomes the sect leader, he’ll probably be stuck here.”

"and you--"

“I can manage on my own, and given Jiu Xu’s personality, he certainly won’t shirk the heavy responsibility entrusted to him by Master Baiyue.” Jiang Yu looked at the road beneath his feet, kicked the small pebble aside, and a strange emotion arose in his heart.

"Are you really sure?"

Lian Quesheng didn't believe it. Given how inseparable these two were, it would be quite a surprise if they were to actually separate!

"It's not like we're never going to see each other again, is it?"

Jiang Yu countered with a question. Shen Jiuxu, holding his hand, stared at the ground without moving, as if he hadn't heard anything. But a fleeting look of loneliness flashed in his eyes before disappearing in an instant.

Seeing how easily he spoke, Lian Quesheng knew something was amiss and said nothing more. "I'm going back now. I'm exhausted from traveling all day. We'll talk again tomorrow after Jiuxu sobers up."

"good."

He walked quickly, disappearing from Jiang Yu's sight in no time. The disciples were no longer on the empty road, leaving only him and Shen Jiuxu walking slowly.

"do you like me?"

Jiang Yu was taken aback when he suddenly heard Shen Jiuxu whisper. He thought he had misheard and was stunned for a moment. Then, feeling the warm, sticky sweat on his palm, he realized that the other person seemed to be trembling. He asked gently, "Why are you asking this?"

The wind rustled gently through the leaves on both sides of the tree.

"I..." Shen Jiuxu felt as if he were in a dream. Perhaps he had drunk too much alcohol. He felt unsteady and couldn't find a stable point of support.

"I like you."

Shen Jiuxu covered his face with his hands. He didn't dare to look into Jiang Yu's eyes, nor did he want to know what Jiang Yu's true feelings were towards his words. "Could you... could you let me... go out with you?"

He didn't want to stay alone in Shenwuke.

"I just want to stay by your side."

Shen Jiuxu felt both clear-headed and confused. He had heard what Lian Quesheng and Jiang Yu had said earlier, and the fear rising from the depths of his heart made him want to keep an eye on Jiang Yu all the time.

Keep an eye on him and don't let him leave.

He began to fear that after the succession ceremony, when he returned to Fuyou Palace, he would only find an empty bed and a cold room where he would be all alone. Shen Jiuxu had already foreseen his future from Jiang Yu's words: he was originally a tree, and only after meeting Jiang Yu did he gain a new life.

It's like new branches and leaves have sprouted, clinging tightly to the land that Jiang Yu can nourish.

"You...don't you want me anymore?"

Jiang Yu hadn't expected him to think so much, nor had he expected the party to have such a big impact on him. This was the first time the usually calm and reserved person had shown such emotions in front of him.

"No."

He answered quickly, afraid that Shen Jiuxu's overactive imagination would turn him into a tearful tree in the next second.

"...I was just talking nonsense to Lian Quesheng."

“Aren’t we Daoist partners? We’re bound to stay together.” Jiang Yu pried Shen Jiuxu’s hand away, placed it in her palm, and then gently kissed the corner of his lips with her foot.

How could I leave you alone?

He began to reflect on himself. Wasn't he just the leader of Shen Wuke Sect? Was he really afraid of this? Besides, what kind of sect leader would do everything personally? There must be other elders helping him!

Jiang Yu reflected on himself for a while, then suddenly said, "I'm sorry."

Shen Jiuxu was a little stunned by his action. He looked puzzled. "Why did you bring this up?"

"I won't abandon you."

Jiang Yu said decisively, then pulled Shen Jiuxu away, "We'll stay in Shenwuke for a while before we go out, okay?"

"……good."

Although Shen Jiuxu didn't know why he suddenly changed his mind, his unease lessened considerably. He rested his head on Jiang Yu's shoulder and asked, "Why are there two moons in the sky?"

"ah?"

"You're drunk."

Jiang Yu remained calm as he pulled a heavy-hearted drunkard away. Shen Jiuxu kept talking beside him without stopping, "Brother Jiang Yu, you...you smell so good."

"It's because you smell good."

Jiang Yu sometimes really wondered if Shen Jiuxu was a fragrance emanation; how could a grown man smell so good?

"Brother Jiang Yu, do you... like me?"

"like."

"Brother Jiang Yu—"

"Um?"

"Jiang Yu—" Jiang Yu turned his head to look at Shen Jiuxu, only to find that the man had already fallen asleep leaning against him. It seemed that he should drink less alcohol in the future.

He really couldn't handle it.

Jiang Yu reached out, and Xian Chen smoothly emerged. He glanced at Shen Jiuxu on his back, his sword flashing with disdain. How could someone become like this after drinking a little wine!

If it were the animal, it certainly wouldn't let its owner carry it.

But the truth is, Jiang Yu didn't care what Xian Chen was thinking. He originally wanted to fly back on his sword, but he suddenly changed his mind after Xian Chen came out.

Xian Chen watched in bewilderment as he walked past her, carrying Shen Jiuxu on his back, step by step, back home!

Xian Chen: ?

Do people nowadays choose to exhaust themselves? Then should it just go back to the bottom of the drawer? Anyway, it's not needed here.

"Brother Jiang Yu—"

After getting drunk, Shen Jiuxu seemed to have lost his mind. He kept calling out Jiang Yu's name, and Jiang Yu, who wasn't usually patient, kept responding to him.

Although he knew that Shen Jiuxu couldn't hear him at all, he still did it.

The next morning, Shen Jiuxu was awakened from his bed by the chirping of birds outside. He had a headache and slowly sat up, only to find that no one was beside him.

Jiang Yu isn't here!

He panicked and ran out without even putting on his shoes. The words "I can manage on my own" still echoed in his mind. Could Jiang Yu have already left?

He clearly promised himself he wouldn't leave.

He had promised himself, and Shen Jiuxu felt extremely sad. Even after living for so many years, he had never felt such a strong emotion.

"Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu—"

"Jiang Yu—"

Shen Jiuxu looked around, Jiang Yu's face appearing and disappearing in his mind again and again. He reached out to grab Jiang Yu's clothes, but in the end, his hands were empty.

"Jiang Yu—"

"I'm here."

He was suddenly hugged tightly, so tightly that the two strong arms made his shoulders ache. Jiang Yu reached out and poked Shen Jiuxu's face with his finger, "You're hugging me too tightly."

Will you leave?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu felt a pang of regret and sighed, "No."

He bit Shen Jiuxu's shoulder, and a slight stinging pain made Shen Jiuxu feel it.

Does it hurt?

Jiang Yu asked him, and Shen Jiuxu hesitated for a moment before saying, "It hurts."

"It hurts too, you're holding me too tight," Jiang Yu said irritably. "I'm here, I haven't left, I won't leave, and even if I do, I'll hold you back."

"You're taking me with you to the Nine Netherworlds."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think you can just go to a hellish place like the Nine Netherworlds?" Jiang Yu slapped him. "I don't want to go to a place like that with you."

"I think."

"Are you crazy?" Jiang Yu looked at his stubborn expression and said helplessly, "Nine Netherworlds is a place for the dead. I still want to live a good life!"

You must live well too.

He had barely finished speaking when he quickly added, as if afraid that Shen Jiuxu would overthink it, "I'll go with you to all the other places."

"OK?"

Shen Jiuxu's eyes were dark as he stared at Jiang Yu's face. Jiang Yu felt uneasy under his gaze and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Just as he was about to raise his hand, Shen Jiuxu pressed him down, pinning him against the wall before leaning down and kissing him. Jiang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that this was what it meant.

"Just say it if you want a kiss, don't beat around the bush," Jiang Yu said shamelessly. "Didn't I teach you before? Be decisive in doing things, like me. If I want to kiss you, I'll just kiss you directly."

"oh."

Shen Jiuxu nodded, indicating that he understood. He was a smart disciple who knew how to apply what he learned, and he was about to demonstrate his abilities to Jiang Yu.

"I want to sleep with you and enjoy the pleasures of love."

Jiang Yu was stunned by his shamelessness, but since he had already said it, he could only admit it with tears in his eyes. Like a hero cutting off his own arm, he resolutely said, "Fine."
