Before Qin Yan woke up in the morning, Fu Changling quickly turned back into the calico cat, stretched out his paws and placed them on Qin Yan's arm, pretending to be asleep.
Qin Yan glanced down at the calico cat sleeping arrogantly. His expression remained unchanged. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yun Yu's voice from outside: "Brother, I suddenly remembered something... Alas?"
Yun Yu paused, looking at the three flowers pressing against Qin Yan's sleeve, and asked curiously, "Where did such an ugly cat come from?"
The fairyland is full of spiritual energy, even a blade of grass grows straight and green, not to mention cats and other spiritual animals, each one more beautiful than the other. Where did this calico domestic cat come from in the human world?
Fu Changling was so angry when he heard this that his feet twitched. Qin Yan glanced at Fu Changling, picked him up, and placed him on his knees. He asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Fu Changling lay on Qin Yan's thighs, feeling so happy that he couldn't help stepping on his thighs with his feet. Yun Yu stared at the cat, feeling that there was something indescribably weird about it.
Seeing that Yun Yu had been silent for a long time, Qin Yan couldn't help but ask again: "Yun Yu?"
"Oh, Senior Brother," Yun Yu found a place to sit down. He thought for a moment before finally saying, "I just came to ask, are you and Chang Ling... okay?"
"What's wrong with that?"
Qin Yan's eyes were filled with confusion when he heard this question. Yun Yu forced a smile and said, "Brother, I came to the Immortal Realm a hundred years earlier than you and accompanied him for a while. There were some things he couldn't say, so I just watched from the side. In fact, Chang Ling has always been paying attention to you and has always been with you, but he is too cautious with you. He wants to give you everything good."
"I know."
Qin Yan interrupted him: "So?"
"So..." Yun Yu sighed, "He's always a little reserved around you. I noticed it when we were drinking a few days ago. The way he treats you is not like that of an ordinary couple. He's even more respectful than when we were in Hongmeng Heavenly Palace, afraid that anything bad might happen to you. So when I got home, I discussed it with Senior Sister, Ming Yan, and some friends. We think you need some time to recover."
"Recovery period?"
Qin Yan frowned: "What is this?"
Yun Yu pulled out a scroll from his hand and said, "Brother, the relationship between Taoist couples is important to cultivate. We have given you a plan. Please take a look at it."
As he spoke, Yun Yu handed the scroll to Qin Yan. Qin Yan opened the scroll and saw the words written on it:
Task 1: Appreciating Peach Blossoms - Holding Hands
Task 2: Planting Spiritual Herbs Together - Kissing Face
Task 3: Enjoying the Moon Together - Kissing
Mission 4: Boating in the Lake - Stripping
Mission 5: Taoist Companion Ceremony - Life Fusion
Qin Yan frowned, and Yun Yu felt a little panicked. He couldn't help but start scolding Shangguan Mingyan and Siming Xingjun and his gang. No one was willing to come and forced him to come. Now, what would he do if Qin Yan was unhappy and drew his sword to chop him?
Moreover, when he said this to Qin Yan, who was an immortal in the Hongmeng Heavenly Palace and was untainted by the mundane world, he himself felt that he was dirty, filthy, and vulgar.
He was so embarrassed that he could dig a Dao Palace with his toes. He lowered his head and said nothing. Qin Yan paused for a long time and then slowly said, "Why are you giving me these?"
"Well, everyone says that you two have had a hard time." Yun Yu held on to his scalp. "It seems that there are always these things. If not, what's the difference between you and your fellow apprentices? Changling... Changling is also a normal man. If I don't take the initiative to remind you, I'm afraid you two will not get along in the future..."
Qin Yan thought silently for a while, then asked, "Why did you tell me?"
Yun Yu could answer this question. He sighed, "Brother, you don't know how much Chang Ling cherishes you. If you don't ask, Chang Ling won't dare to do these things."
Qin Yan raised his hand and gently put the scroll aside. He didn't say whether he agreed or not, but said calmly, "I understand."
Yun Yu and Qin Yan talked about Fu Changling's daily life for a while, and then he said goodbye and left.
After he left, Qin Yan raised his hand and stroked the cat's soft fur. After a long time, he picked it up and faced it.
Qin Yan looked at Fu Changling. Fu Changling was a little nervous, worried that Qin Yan might recognize him. As a cat, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva. Qin Yan looked at him for a while, and finally spoke, saying, "He said you're ugly."
Fu Changling breathed a sigh of relief, revealed a pitiful expression and meowed.
Qin Yan nodded, put him back on his lap, patted his round cat head, and said gently: "It's okay, I think it looks good."
Fu Changling looked up at him and couldn't help wondering if he had realized that he was not just a simple cat?
In order to test Qin Yan, Fu Changling tentatively stretched out his claws and climbed up along his clothes.
Qin Yan didn't stop him.
Fu Changling became bolder and slipped through his clothes into his arms.
Qin Yan still ignored him. He even reached out his hand, lifted him up, and told him in a steady tone, "Don't fall."
Fu Changling: “!!!”
I feel like I can be a little more unrestrained.
Fu Changling fell asleep in Qin Yan's arms. When he woke up, he ran out again, then squatted outside the gate and sent a message to Qin Yan: "Brother, I have to prepare for the Taoist Couple Ceremony. I'm very busy recently. You don't have to worry when I'm not around."
Qin Yan seemed to hesitate for a long time, and finally replied: "I'm not worried."
Fu Changling squatted at the door, feeling a little sad. Qin Yan was indeed a man who had attained great enlightenment. He had reached the state where he was neither happy with things nor sad with himself. Fu Changling sighed, turned into a cat again, and walked into the room dejectedly.
Qin Yan glanced at him indifferently, and Fu Changling jumped onto his lap, snuggled into his arms, and rolled around and rubbed against him as hard as he could.
From then on, Fu Changling began to pretend to be a cat and prepare for the Taoist Couple Ceremony, and occasionally came back to check on Qin Yan's life.
When he came back to see Qin Yan, he tried hard to find something to say. Qin Yan was as calm as ever, but he would respond to every question with a "Yeah, oh, and then?"
Qin Yan was very cold to him, but very nice to the cat.
Not only did he cook and feed the ugly Fu Changling himself, he also slept with Fu Changling in his arms and chose a day to take Fu Changling outing.
He didn't even take the whisk in his hand, and carried Fu Changling steadily to the top of the mountain. Fu Changling was afraid that he was tired, so he jumped onto Qin Yan's shoulders and followed him to the top of the mountain.
Then he heard Qin Yan say, "Don't fall."
Then Qin Yan slowly drew his sword, and the sword energy swept from the top of the mountain to the bottom. Wherever the sword energy passed, the wind blew the flowers into bloom, and the whole mountain was covered with peach blossoms. The originally green mountain turned into the bright red color of peach blossoms in an instant.
Fu Changling was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Qin Yan reached out, grabbed his cat paw, and held it gently.
"Hold hands."
Qin Yan spoke softly.
Fu Changling stared blankly at the hand holding his cat's paw. The hand was as white as jade. When it touched his soft paw pad, he could even feel the calluses from sword practice.
Before Fu Changling had time to figure out what was happening, Qin Yan gently let go of his hand and took him down the mountain.
After getting down the mountain, Fu Changling finally reacted. He jumped off Qin Yan's shoulder and ran straight into the grove. Qin Yan didn't call him, as if he didn't care whether the cat came or went.
Qin Yan stood quietly on the path for a while, and just as he was about to leave, he heard a voice calling from behind: "Senior Brother."
Qin Yan turned his head and saw the young man in black clothes with golden patterns, holding a golden fan, under the peach blossoms. He remained expressionless. Fu Changling walked over with a smile, casually pulled Qin Yan along, and said softly, "The peach blossoms are in full bloom today. Would you mind if I took you to appreciate them, Senior Brother?"
Qin Yan's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "Okay."
At this point, the two of them seemed to have found some subtle way to get along with each other.
Most of the time, Fu Changling acted like a cat, accompanying him and being close to him.
Qin Yan followed Yun Yu's instructions and took Fu Changling to the yard to plant spiritual herbs. He then lifted the cat up, looked at it for a moment, and kissed its cheek.
When Fu Changling's original body returned at night, he leaned forward and said with a smile, "Brother, it's been a long time since we last met. I'm sure you missed me. Give me a kiss?"
Qin Yan seemed to have no emotion, but he stood on tiptoe and kissed Fu Changling on the side of his face.
As he approached him, Fu Changling could vaguely hear Qin Yan's chaotic heartbeat. He raised his eyes to look at the young man in front of him. His kiss was a little cold. Fu Changling couldn't help but raise his hand to touch Qin Yan's lips, and said in a low voice: "Brother, do you want to appreciate the moon?"
Qin Yan's ears blushed.
He was the one who guided the previous steps, but when Fu Changling started to guide them, he felt a little flustered for some reason.
However, Fu Changling ignored him. He flicked his wide sleeves, and the surroundings instantly turned into high mountains with a bright moon in the sky. He hurriedly took a step forward. Qin Yan subconsciously stepped back, but Fu Changling did not give him a chance to retreat. He put his arms around his waist and lowered his head to kiss him.
Qin Yan shuddered slightly, his breathing becoming a little disordered. Fu Changling pressed him down into the sea of flowers. Under the bright moon, it was like a chaotic silk thread entering the sea, stirring up the world. At the end, he gently let go of Qin Yan. Qin Yan's lips were still wet, and his expression was a little dazed. Fu Changling stared at him for a moment, then brushed his lips with his fingertips and smiled softly: "Let's enjoy the bright moon together and kiss you."
Qin Yan seemed not surprised at all that Fu Changling knew what Yun Yu had said to him.
Come to think of it, he always knew but kept silent. If he really didn't know that the cat was him, why would he pick it up the moment he came out and not care about his whereabouts?
After all, he had been waiting for him for three thousand years. No matter how he expressed it, there was one thing that was never in doubt.
He has him in his heart.
Fu Changling leaned on his chest, listening to his heartbeat and breathing softly.
"Are you going to the lake again?"
Fu Changling looked up at him with a smile, and Qin Yan lowered his eyes to look at the young man lying in front of him. He had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of naked teasing in his eyes.
That meaning seemed to become real, clinging to his body inch by inch. Qin Yan couldn't help but hold on to the green grass on the ground and said in a hoarse voice, "Whatever you say."
Fu Changling chuckled, bent down to kiss him, and at the same time untied his belt.
He noticed Qin Yan's stiff body, and he comforted him vaguely: "Don't panic, I will make you feel comfortable today."
As he spoke, Qin Yan gasped and closed his eyes. Fu Changling looked up at him and said with a smile, "I'll wait for you at the Taoist Couple Ceremony."
Qin Yan remained silent. He watched with his eyes open as the clouds in the sky obscured the bright moon and then slowly drifted away. Birds chirped cheerfully around him, mingling with the chirping of cicadas, birdsong, and the sound of a distant stream.
"Brother," Fu Changling said hoarsely, "Call me."
"Chang...Changling."
Qin Yan's voice was a little childish.
Fu Changling smiled, kissed his forehead, and called him, "Be good, Yanming."
It was not until midnight that Fu Changling carried Qin Yan, who had fallen asleep, back home.
He cleaned him up and sat beside the bed looking at Qin Yan's sleeping face.
In fact, he knew that neither he nor Qin Yan had ever experienced other people in their lives.
When it comes to emotions, they are terribly lacking.
No one is born knowing how to love, and no one is born to adapt to love. It is just that two people who care about each other try to give each other all the good things they want to give, bit by bit, tentatively and clumsily.
He would also be nervous at first. After all, after three thousand years, he didn't know what kind of person Qin Yan had become, nor did he know how to get along with Qin Yan. He would like it more.
But now he discovered that he would be extra tolerant towards the person or anyone he cared about.
When Fu Changling thought about this, he felt as if his heart was filled. He leaned against Qin Yan, supported himself with his hands and looked at Qin Yan for a long time before he pulled him into his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Some things, once you get over that hurdle, will slide forward smoothly.
The time Fu Changling spent disguised as a cat became shorter and shorter, and the time he spent with Qin Yan became longer and longer.
He went to find a lot of wine from the immortal world and gave it to him. They drank together. At the end of the drinking, Fu Changling came up to him and told him: "Brother, there is a kind of wine in this world that only you can drink. Do you want to try it?"
Qin Yan raised his eyes, bewildered but with his usual composure: "What?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Changling took a sip of wine, moved forward, and passed it directly to Qin Yan.
Qin Yan opened his eyes suddenly, and in the time it took to take a sip of wine, the sword in Qin Yan's hand suddenly came out of its sheath. Fu Changling quickly retreated. He didn't expect Qin Yan to react so strongly, and hurriedly tried to explain: "Brother, this is not the first time, you shouldn't..."
"roll!"
He was greeted by a roar of sword energy, and Fu Changling was so scared that he quickly ran away.
He didn't dare go back to the Taoist palace that night. He sat on the steps at the entrance for a long time. When it was late at night, he thought about it for a long time, scratched his head, and turned into the calico cat again and jumped in.
When he went in, Qin Yan had already fallen asleep. Fu Changling carefully stepped on his clothes and entered his arms, then buried his cat face in his chest and rubbed it, then fell asleep happily.
He didn't know where he got the courage from, and he kept testing Qin Yan's bottom line, repeatedly jumping on the edge of Qin Yan's collapse.
Fu Yushu came over to look at them, took his son for a drink, and shared his experience with him: "When facing a sword cultivator like Qin Yan, just remember two things."
"Father, please speak."
"Let yourself go and cling to it."
Fu Yushu said, patting his chest proudly: "Father is very experienced."
"Fu Yushu."
Just as he finished speaking, Lin Chen's voice came from the door.
Fu Yushu hurriedly stood up, waved to Fu Changling, and said with a wink, "Let's go, don't talk nonsense."
But this could not change Fu Yushu's fate that night. It was said that he knelt at the gate of his own Taoist temple for the whole night.
Fu Yushu's words were rough, but they were indeed the facts.
Under Fu Changling's persistent temptation, Qin Yan also began to indulge him.
It was not easy to kiss him, but if he took a sip of wine before kissing him, Qin Yan wouldn't think it was a big deal.
It is extremely difficult to take off one of his clothes, so it is like stealing all his clothes while he is taking a shower. Then it would be acceptable to take him out wrapped in a bath towel.
The day before the Taoist Couple Ceremony, Qin Yan finally entered a state of resignation.
Anyway, he couldn't control Fu Changling, and what Fu Changling said was right.
The sword in his hand said no, but his body was very honest.
He couldn't resist the pleasure brought by Fu Changling, so he finally chose to give up the fight.
On the day of the Taoist Couple Ceremony, neither of them slept all night.
Fu Changling invited almost all the immortals in the fairy world, from small immortals to emperors. The banquet extended all the way from the Dongshan Taoist Palace, covering the entire mountain range.
Fu Changling didn't sleep that night. He didn't go to see Qin Yan according to the rules. He was worried all night whether something would happen or whether there would be any problems.
He suddenly realized that when losing becomes a habit, gaining will bring anxiety.
Because you don’t know when you will lose it, and you don’t know whether what you get is real or illusory.
He was in a trance until dawn, when his servants helped him put on his wedding clothes and walked to the altar.
Jiang Yebai was already standing on the altar. When Fu Changling walked up to him, he looked a little downcast. Jiang Yebai glanced at him calmly and said, "It's such a happy day. Who are you showing off to with such a sad face?"
"Let me show you." Fu Changling was immediately cheered up by Jiang Yebai's criticism. He would not let Jiang Yebai criticize him any more. He smiled brightly and said, "It's my wedding day. I'm sure Fellow Daoist Jiang is not happy. I can't be too happy, so as not to be too cruel to you."
"Why don't you call me Master?"
Jiang Yebai sneered, and Fu Changling was a little confused: "Have you taught me anything?"
"But there's no problem," Fu Changling raised his hand before Jiang Yebai could say anything, stopping him from saying, "You are Master A Yan. From now on, he and I are a family, and you are also my master."
"No need." Jiang Yebai said coldly, "I can't afford to have you as my disciple."
"If you have it, be proud of it."
"hehe."
Jiang Yebai wanted to say a few more words when he saw Yun Yu trotting up and excitedly said, "Big Brother is here, get ready quickly."
When Fu Changling heard this, his expression immediately became serious.
Jiang Yebai didn't continue arguing with Fu Changling. He stood in the main seat and looked into the distance.
As the sound of ritual music sounded, the phoenix led hundreds of birds to dance, and fish and insects sang together. Then a man in red clothes and a jade crown was seen walking up the steps.
"I'm not actually unhappy."
Jiang Yebai suddenly spoke, and Fu Changling refused to take his eyes off Qin Yan.
He watched the figure in front of him become clearer and clearer, as if the most beautiful gift God had given him was being untied, and his appearance began to be revealed bit by bit.
"Three thousand years, I figured it out."
"I hope he's doing well."
While the two were talking, Qin Yan had already arrived in front of Fu Changling.
They were both wearing the same clothes, except that the gold pattern embroidered on the corner of Fu Changling's clothes was the sun, while Qin Yan's was the moon.
Qin Yan saluted towards Jiang Yebai and said respectfully, "Master."
Jiang Yebai smiled. He had a lot to say, but it all disappeared at that moment.
It seems like the past is like smoke, disappearing in the wind.
They followed the rituals of the fairy world, with Jiang Yebai chanting the blessing, and then Qin Yan and Fu Changling each forced out a drop of blood, which fell into the wine glass.
After drinking the wedding wine containing each other's essence and blood, they will become Taoist companions and will stay together for the rest of their lives.
When Fu Changling and Qin Yan toasted each other, Fu Changling suddenly called out to him, "A Yan."
Qin Yan looked up at him and saw a smile in Fu Changling's eyes: "I'm asking you a truth, don't lie to me."
"Do I make you happy?"
Qin Yan stared at him quietly, his eyes covered with ice and snow, like a glacier cracking little by little, revealing the spring water welcoming the spring.
"Two lives and two worlds," Qin Yan smiled slowly, "Meeting you is the happiest thing for me."
After hearing these words, all my anxieties suddenly disappeared.
He knew that no matter whether the future was good or bad, Qin Yan would always be by his side.
"Brother," Fu Changling lowered his eyes and said softly, "I have many shortcomings. After we get married, I might make you angry and unhappy, but please don't hate me."
"I won't hate you."
Qin Yan didn't look at him, and his voice was very soft: "I like you, and I think everything about you is good."
Fu Changling was stunned for a moment. Qin Yan seemed to feel embarrassed. He pulled Fu Changling to raise his glass and asked him to drink the wine in one gulp.
The moment the wine was finished, the two names appeared side by side on the marriage tree.
Qin Yan, Fu Changling.
That night, Fu Changling played around with Qin Yan as he did before.
He was already familiar with everything about Qin Yan, and Qin Yan was used to him and let him do whatever he wanted.
When he was drowsy, Fu Changling covered his back and asked him in his ear, "Brother, do you like me no matter what I do?"
Qin Yan snorted lazily, and at that moment, Qin Yan couldn't help but grab the bed sheet tightly.
"Fu Changling." Qin Yan's voice trembled. Fu Changling pressed him down tightly, not allowing him to struggle at all.
"Don't you like me?" Fu Changling chuckled, "Brother, you will be punished for lying."
Qin Yan didn't say anything, he gritted his teeth.
When it was almost dawn, Fu Changling finally finished. The two of them lay on the bed. Qin Yan had no strength left. Fu Changling hugged him and said in a lazy voice: "Brother, do you still like me?"
This time, Qin Yan finally gave a positive answer: "I don't like it anymore, get out."
Fu Changling laughed out loud, and he nuzzled him and said happily, "I won't leave."
"I like you, I like you very much."
He liked Qin Yan, the Qin Yan who could get angry, happy, scold him and tell him to get lost, but also the Qin Yan who knew the truth and pretended to be ignorant and took him home disguised as a kitten to give him a kiss.
They will live forever.
You will live a long, stable and vibrant life.
Maybe we met and got to know each other in the stormy waves, but in the end we fell in love and got along with each other in the long run.
