Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Token of Love
Ruan Mingyu originally thought that Song Chenxi would take her back to her home in a small town far away on the border, but unexpectedly he ran in a completely opposite direction.
"Wait, this doesn't seem like the way back for Ruan Mingyu and the others!" Ruan Mingyu grabbed his shoulder and motioned him to stop.
Song Chenxi, however, marched forward like a deaf person, hearing nothing. He wielded his sword so quickly that Ruan Mingyu couldn't even see the scenery below. The speed was so great that he felt dizzy. When he regained consciousness, he realized he had arrived in a place he had never been before.
The scenery here is very beautiful, with mountains and rivers of the same color, emerald green and clear waves, intoxicating the mind.
Ruan Mingyu didn't have the leisure to appreciate the scenery. He asked Song Chenxi cautiously, "Why did you bring me here?"
Song Chenxi held his hand and said solemnly, "I wish to become your Taoist partner. We will sleep together in life and study together in death, forever and ever."
Ruan Mingyu pulled his hand away: "Why don't I understand what you are saying?"
"Didn't you agree to it so readily? Why can't you do it with me?" Song Chenxi smiled sinisterly. He stared at Ruan Mingyu intently, his eyes filled with deep desire. "I'm giving you two choices: marry me voluntarily, or be forced to marry me."
Ruan Mingyu took a few steps back, his steps stumbling a little: "Is there no other choice?"
"No."
Ruan Mingyu instinctively wanted to run: "Let me think about it carefully."
Song Chenxi grabbed him.
"Or you would rather marry Shen Yanyuan. Do you want me to send you back now so that you can continue to marry him?" Song Chenxi said with a sneer.
Ruan Mingyu didn't expect that he was still angry with him, and said, "Please forgive me!"
Song Chenxi pinched his chin and said, "Stop trying to evade me. Answer this question."
Song Chenxi looked like he might go crazy at any moment. If Ruan Mingyu refused, he might tear her to pieces.
He said stubbornly, "I agree, just don't be so angry."
"Just agreeing isn't enough. I know exactly what kind of person you are." With his response, Song Chenxi calmed down a bit. He said, "Just repeat what I say later."
"What... are you going to do?" Ruan Mingyu saw that he looked very serious, and it seemed to be a very important matter.
Song Chenxi: "Make a pact."
"..." Ruan Mingyu was in tears. He was really in trouble now.
Ruan Mingyu was forced to read the Taoist Companion Contract with him under his tyranny, but he was only half-hearted in cultivating immortals and was not serious about it.
So after they finished reading the contract, Song Chenxi sensed something was wrong.
"Did you pronounce a few spells wrong just now?"
Ruan Mingyu laughed twice: "Really? I don't remember."
Song Chenxi pinched his face: "You really can't make me feel at ease no matter what you do."
Song Chenxi thought there was nothing wrong with this action, but after a while, he saw faint flashes of lightning in the sky.
His expression changed, and he suddenly thought of something. He lowered his head and kissed Ruan Mingyu again. Just when they touched their lips lightly, suddenly there was a flash of lightning, and a bolt of lightning came straight towards Song Chenxi.
Logically speaking, after the two of them signed the master-disciple contract, if the disciple was not filial to the master, Ruan Mingyu would be punished by heaven.
"Very good..." Song Chenxi said through gritted teeth, "I asked you to become my Taoist partner, but you ended up signing a master-disciple contract with me. Ruan Mingyu, you are really good."
Ruan Mingyu: "Is there a possibility that this is God's will..." He asked weakly: "Who is the master and who is the disciple?"
Song Chenxi didn't reply.
Then this contract obviously regards him as the master. Ruan Mingyu thought that there is always a way out. Now Song Chenxi can't do anything to him, right?
Unexpectedly, there was nothing in this world that Song Chenxi couldn't do. He pushed him against a tree and kissed him hard, regardless of how loud the thunder was.
Ruan Mingyu put his hand between them and said, "Brother, although I want to make peace with you, this lightning strike is so strong. If we continue, you might get hurt. Let's just be quiet for a while."
Besides, isn't it against the moral code for a disciple to kiss his master? No wonder the thunder crackled like dumplings falling from the sky. Ruan Mingyu couldn't help but jump in shock.
Song Chenxi smiled and said, "I'm not afraid, so why are you afraid? Right? My good master."
Ruan Mingyu: “…”
"That was purely an accident." He was the master and Song Chenxi was the disciple, so the disciple should always listen to the master.
Ruan Mingyu, having gained an advantage, acted docilely and said, "Now, Master orders you to let me go."
Song Chenxi: "Stop pretending, you're just trying to show off. Ruan Mingyu, you have such a powerful authority!"
Ruan Mingyu: "I have no choice."
However, Song Chenxi was born with a rebellious nature, and he pressed him against the tree even harder, kissing him passionately. The thunder and lightning in the sky grew increasingly intense, covering the entire sky like the sun. The clear sky just a moment ago was now covered in dark clouds.
Looking at the lightning so close, Ruan Mingyu's eyes widened with fear. He tried to push Song Chenxi away, but Song Chenxi didn't move.
He hummed twice, patted Song Chenxi on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, please let me go quickly! The thunder is about to strike! Such a strong thunder will kill people!"
"With me here, what are you afraid of?"
Song Chenxi's voice was hoarse from the exertion, and his breath splattered on Ruan Mingyu's face, making his ears feel strangely warm. Song Chenxi pressed his fingers against the back of his neck, looking down at him and smiling. That smile was incredibly ambiguous, as if they had an inexplicable relationship.
Ruan Mingyu pointed behind him and stammered, "Thunder... is striking..."
Song Chenxi seemed to be unafraid of the thunder and lowered her head to suck his lips.
Seeing the lightning approaching, he freed one hand and formed a barrier around them, isolating all the lightning bolts outside.
Although the thunder didn't strike him, the sound still reached his ears. Ruan Mingyu's scalp was tingling from the loud noise, and even the kiss was half-hearted. Song Chenxi was not happy about it, and he lowered his voice and said, "Focus."
Ruan Mingyu: "Brother, with such a huge thunder, you still want me to concentrate? I'm lucky I didn't get scared to death!"
Song Chenxi: "Coward." He said this, but let him go the next moment.
Ruan Mingyu's legs were a little weak, so Song Chenxi took his arm and helped him into a bamboo house.
Song Chenxi said, "When I went down the mountain to practice cultivation, I found this place, and I have been thinking about living here in seclusion one day."
Ruan Mingyu took over his words very forcefully: "So what do you think now?"
Song Chenxi said seriously, "I want to live in seclusion with you."
Ruan Mingyu paused and said, "What's so good about living in seclusion? I just like the hustle and bustle."
"That's right. You keep your mouth shut every day. If no one talks to you, you don't know how bored you would be." Song Chenxi said.
Ruan Mingyu: "Actually, it's not that I can be alone. It would be even better if someone were to accompany me."
Song Chenxi leaned against the door, looked at the sky outside and said, "The Seven Star Sect is looking for us everywhere now, so we should not take the risk of going out. It's not too late to stay here and hide for a while before going back."
Ruan Mingyu wondered if Song Chenxi had changed his personality. Wasn't he fearless before?
He shook his head: "No, you have to listen to me now. I finally got the Binglin Flower. Now let's go back to the border town."
Song Chenxi nodded with a faint smile, and he actually activated the teleportation array, which took him back to his home in the small border town.
How could he be so easily persuaded? Could it be that the master-disciple contract between them had come into effect?
After arriving home, Ruan Mingyu sat on a chair, crossed his legs, and said, "Don't be idle. Go cook me two dishes. And a plate of peanuts."
Song Chenxi didn't waste any time talking to him and actually went to the kitchen to start cooking. Ruan Mingyu watched him busying around in the kitchen and said with his chin propped up: "Song Chenxi, I never thought you would end up like this."
Song Chenxi brought the dish to him, and Ruan Mingyu ate it with relish. It tasted really good.
Song Chenxi picked up the chopsticks to feed him, but Ruan Mingyu waved his hand and said, "I'll do it myself."
Song Chenxi burst out laughing: "Do you really think of yourself as a master?"
Ruan Mingyu started to tease Qiao: "This is your attitude towards Master. Call me Master and let me hear it."
Song Chenxi pinched his chin and said, "I forgot to tell you that the difference between you and me in cultivation is too great. You can't order me around."
Ruan Mingyu: "What about you just now?"
Song Chenxi: "You are my Taoist partner, so I will naturally listen to you."
Ruan Mingyu: “…”
Ruan Mingyu didn't want to say anything more to him and went back to start refining the elixir.
As soon as he started refining the elixir, he became furious, lost all emotion, and was desperate.
Song Chenxi was unhappy. After he locked himself in the room for three months to practice alchemy, Song Chenxi finally kicked open the door and carried him out.
Ruan Mingyu: "Hey, why are you interrupting me? This will slow down the progress of alchemy. At this rate, give me another three months and the medicine will be ready."
Song Chenxi: "Another three months? Do you want me to be a widow?"
No, does he know what he said? Is this how "being a widow" is used?
He said something surprising, saying that he was not so eager to make the elixir now.
"Come walk with me." Song Chenxi said.
As they walked, Song Chenxi held his hand and the two of them strolled leisurely in the courtyard. In fact, Song Chenxi didn't need him to do anything. As long as he stayed by her side, she felt very happy and satisfied.
When Ayihan from next door learned they had returned, he came to see them with a large bag of things. Seeing them holding hands, he smiled and said, "You two brothers have such a good relationship."
Ruan Mingyu quickly withdrew his hand.
Song Chenxi smiled and said, "We have a very good relationship."
Ayihan didn't want to disturb them, so he put down his things and left.
Song Chenxi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did I give you a jade pendant?"
Ruan Mingyu didn't dare to take out the jade pendant and wear it, for fear of knocking it. Besides, the thing had already been broken once before, and if it was knocked again, it would probably be gone.
Ruan Mingyu: "You want to go back? No way."
Song Chenxi said, "My mother gave it to me and told me to give it to my wife in the future."
"Since that time..."
Song Chenxi looked at him with a smile: "Didn't I make it very clear in my letter? Didn't you read it?"
Ruan Mingyu really didn't know what was written in the letter. He had even blown up the house while refining the elixir, so he was lucky to have the jade pendant still there.
Ruan Mingyu said guiltily, "It's been so long, it's normal that I can't remember clearly."
Song Chenxi: "You definitely didn't see it. I know what you were thinking when I saw your expression."
Ruan Mingyu said stubbornly, "It's just been too long, I forgot."
Song Chenxi sneered: "Ruan Mingyu, do you take me seriously?"
Ruan Mingyu immediately explained to him that he had indeed received the letter that year, but before he could open it, it was blown away by the alchemy furnace. Song Chenxi's expression looked a little better, but it was still sarcastic.
"It doesn't matter if you didn't see it. It didn't catch your eye."
Ruan Mingyu couldn't help but ask, "What did you write? Can you tell me now, brother?"
Song Chenxi waved to him, motioning him to come closer and listen. Ruan Mingyu obediently leaned over.
Song Chenxi curled his lips and whispered in his ear, "I won't tell you."
Ruan Mingyu: “…”
I'm sick, really sick!
Speaking of this, Ruan Mingyu remembered what he had found in the room. He handed the jade seal to Song Chenxi: "Here, here you go. You just lied to me, but I, as a great man, do not hold grudges against a small man. As a master, I will not hold grudges against you, my disciple. See? This is called repaying evil with kindness."
Song Chenxi took it and looked at the words printed underneath. He couldn't help but smile: "Is this considered a token of our...love?"
