Chapter 71

For a cultivator, ten or a hundred years would pass in the blink of an eye. Lu Shenxing could not concentrate on cultivation without distractions, so the time passed particularly long and boring.

Ning Que didn't feel it. He was very busy every day, trying his best to satisfy Lu Shenxing. Except for the two words "going out" which were taboo and he would lose his mind when they were mentioned, he was gentle and considerate at other times and would respond to any requests.

There is no point in arguing. Lu Shenxing gets angry and Ning Que endures it. What happens next will be the same.

Once, when Lu Shenxing tried to open the barrier, Ning Que's face turned pale and he vomited blood. Only then did he realize that this room was a part of Ning Que, and it was obvious that he was gambling with his life.

Since the hard way didn't work, Lu Shenxing used the soft way. When he sent Ning Que to the sky, he kissed the other's slightly open moist lips and gave him a gentle and lingering deep kiss.

"Brother, beauty is useless to me." Ning Que put his hand around Lu Shenxing's neck, stroking his sweaty hair with his fingers, and kissed his chin lightly, with a look of deep affection in the corners of his eyes.

The corner of Lu Shenxing's mouth twitched, and he released the final blow that he had been accumulating for a long time.

Ning Que snorted softly and hugged Lu Shenxing tremblingly.

Retreating to the door, Lu Shenxing wiped off the things he brought out from inside, turned over and lay down on the side, his strong chest heaving up and down, and his whole body was covered in sweat.

Ning Que was still not satisfied and lay there eating beans.

Seeing that he was eating with gusto, Lu Shenxing held Ning Que's head and said, "What's so good about beans? They're not nutritious. Go eat cucumber instead."

Ning Que raised his eyelids and put on a puzzled expression, "What nutritional value does cucumber have?"

"Juicy and sweet." Lu Shenxing gave two words.

“…”

Ning Que loved to bathe him the most, carefully and meticulously, from the hair to the toes, as if he was doing something sacred.

"You seem to have lost weight."

The half-dead Lu Shenxing ignored him. He was surprised that he was not skinny.

Ning Que used a wet cloth to wipe from the back of Lu Shenxing's neck down his spine. Seeing the falling water droplets, he couldn't help but lean over and lick them. "Big Brother, are you asleep?"

Lu Shenxing lay on the edge of the bathtub, his arms folded, looking weak and exhausted. "Asleep."

Ning Que wiped it again with a dry cloth, "Big Brother, why are you so depressed?"

Lu Shenxing said sarcastically, "Your senior brother is dying."

Ning Que sighed, "Are you blaming me?"

Lu Shenxing sneered, "What would you think if I locked you up in such a dark place without sunlight?"

Ning Que's lips curled up, "I'd be very happy."

Lu Shenxing, “…”

After taking a shower, Lu Shenxing revealed his true form and lay on the ground. Ning Que lay on his back. Lu Shenxing pushed him away, but Ning Que hugged his neck, opened his fingers, and grabbed the still slightly damp sideburns in his palm.

Not everyone can sacrifice their freedom for love. Lu Shenxing hates being controlled by others, and his tolerance and pampering of Ning Que are unprecedented.

A person's patience is limited after all. When it reached that critical point, Lu Shenxing became anxious and bad-tempered. He was distracted during his practice and almost had his inner elixir exploded.

Ning Que frowned, vaguely knowing the reason, but pretended not to know.

"Ning Que, I admit that I like you very much." Lu Shenxing's voice was low, and he stated a fact sternly, "But if you continue like this, my feelings for you will disappear completely."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

The joy in Ning Que's eyes gradually faded, and he shook his head blankly.

"You understand." Lu Shenxing brushed aside a strand of hair from Ning Que's forehead and placed his lips on hers, giving her a gentle kiss. "I don't want to get tired of you one day."

Ning Que left, and Lu Shenxing stayed alone in the room, regardless of the time of day or night. Without a voice speaking in his ear, he felt even lonelier.

After a few days, Ning Que appeared. He didn't look well, but there was a light in his eyes. "Brother, don't you want to go out?"

Lu Shenxing raised his eyebrows imperceptibly. Just a few words from him made Ning Que give up his obsession and gain enlightenment?

Ning Que caressed Lu Shenxing's face and said, "The peach blossoms are about to bloom. Let's go for a walk in the human world."

Staring into Ning Que's eyes, trying to find some clues, Lu Shenxing had a bad feeling that it couldn't be that easy.

"when?"

"immediately."

After kissing Lu Shenxing's lips, Ning Que opened the bottle. A small insect crawled into his arm, and a tiny red dot appeared on his fair skin.

Lu Shenxing could almost see the worm wriggling in Ning Que's flesh and blood. Rather than being horrified, he felt more disgusted.

The veins on his arms bulged, Ning Que's face gradually twisted, beads of sweat dripped from the wings of his nose, the blood color on his face faded little by little, and his determined eyes never left Lu Shenxing.

After a moment, Ning Que swallowed the blood oozing from his mouth, took out another small insect, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips. "Brother, it's your turn. Let this insect enter your soul, and I will take you out."
