Chapter 31: Unsheathed (Twenty-four, Twenty-five)



(XXIV)

Qu Lian just let it slip by accident before, but he never thought that he and Yan Changge would have further progress. In his opinion, Yan Changge is a traditional and stable person, such a person will eventually choose to carry on the family line.

China allowed same-sex marriage more than 50 years ago, and people have accepted same-sex marriage groups. But accepting others does not mean accepting these things happening to your own relatives, especially for big families and martial arts families, all martial arts secrets will be passed down to their own descendants, so they will not allow a homosexual to appear in their family. Even if there is a homosexual, it must be hidden.

If this is true for traditional martial artists, then Yan Changge, a hermit of ancient martial arts, must be even more so. Yan Changge might not even know about the things between men, and is still waiting to meet and get to know a woman. Therefore, Qu Lian never thought of mentioning these things, and at most he would take advantage of them on a daily basis.

However, once you like someone, you will inevitably desire them, which is something that no one can control. Qu Lian was so physically restricted that he never fell in love with anyone. Yan Changge was the first person he was interested in, so he was too eager and finally let the cat out of the bag.

Qu Lian was full of annoyance in the car. He was afraid that Yan Changge would stay away from him after this incident. The two of them would become unfamiliar and distant, without the intimacy they had in the past. When Yan Changge came to talk to him, Qu Lian was so nervous that his hands were shaking, fearing that Yan Changge would say something like "It's better for us to keep a little distance from each other in the future."

However, he never expected that Yan Changge did not avoid him, but accepted it instead!

Did you just accept it so easily? Qu Lian stared at Yan Changge blankly. Seeing this man sitting next to him, he said sincerely, "I don't really understand these things. If you need me to do something or how to respond to you, please tell me directly. I will do whatever I can."

Did he get a lover who obeyed his every word? Qu Lian was a little dazed, and didn't think there was anything to be happy about in such a responsible relationship, but... he was happy.

No matter whether he loves you or not, just get it first!

So Qu Lian licked his lips and said, "Then... kiss me first?"

"Okay." Yan Changge said with a smile.

He leaned over Qu Lian and gave her a light kiss on the forehead, just a simple touch like a dragonfly touching the water. Qu Lian only felt a chill on his forehead and the touch disappeared.

"Too plain!" Qu Lian said this, but his heart was beating very fast, and then he pointed to his cheek.

Yan Changge lowered his head and gently rubbed Qu Lian's cheek.

This was not a kiss between lovers, it was just coaxing a child. But Qu Lian was aroused by this simple touch, and he touched his lips again.

Yan Changge came over and pressed his cold lips against Qu Lian's. There was almost no warmth in his body, only coldness and sword spirit. It was difficult for ordinary people to get close to Yan Changge. However, perhaps love is the passion that can melt some of the ice. Qu Lian didn't feel his coldness and when he was pressed against her, she hugged Yan Changge tightly.

He bit Yan Changge's lips to prevent him from touching them again and leaving. At the same time, he licked them with the tip of his tongue, enjoying this intimate kiss with Yan Changge.

Yan Changge had always been cold, and he had always been imitating others. It was not until now that he realized how warm the human body was, how addictive a hug was, and how intimate a kiss was. Their auras merged, and they seemed to become one.

If I listened to my lover at first, then I became addicted to this behavior and couldn't control myself and continued to do it.

Yan Changge is the best student in the world, with the ability to remember everything he has seen and apply it to other situations. After Qu Lian did it only once, he immediately learned it, and took the initiative to kiss Qu Lian until he was dizzy and lost. His strong arms tightly held Qu Lian's waist, making it impossible for him to escape. Qu Lian was kissed so hard that he could only lean on Yan Changge's arms to support himself.

"Gasps... I can't breathe..." Qu Lian was really short of oxygen. He started to struggle in Yan Changge's arms and finally got free. He gasped for air, "Your lung capacity is too big!"

"You still lack exercise." Yan Changge said with a smile, and then gently rubbed Qu Lian's hair.

Yan Changge's lips were very thin and usually pale, giving him a ruthless look. After this kiss, his lips became bright red and seemed thicker, making this man with a perfect face even more handsome and charming. Qu Lian stared at him for a while and felt his heart beating violently, so he grabbed Yan Changge's waist with his claws and said, "I don't care. Since you are a responsible person, you should be responsible to the end."

"Of course." Yan Changge whispered, his voice magnetic and low, very sexy, "Is there anything else we should do?"

"Do it, of course we have to do it!" Qu Lian said firmly.

No matter whether he has true feelings or not, he will miss the chance once he fails, so he must do it to the end.

"Then what should we do?" Yan Changge asked.

Qu Lian immediately dragged Yan Changge to the bedroom, opened his notebook, clicked on the various movies he had recently collected, and watched them with Yan Changge. Qu Lian used some tricks here. He didn't go directly on his own but watched the movie, just to see Yan Changge's acceptance. After all, this is different from kissing. What if Yan Changge feels disgusted? Then he may not be able to bear it!

After reading for a while and seeing the two protagonists officially start, Yan Changge reached out and closed the notebook. Qu Lian had been observing him, and seeing him do this, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"No." As expected, I heard Yan Changge say this.

Qu Lian nodded and said, "Well, I know it's hard for straight men to accept these things. It's okay, I..."

"You can't," Yan Changge interrupted Qu Lian, "You just replenished your Yang Qi, and your body is barely normal. You must cultivate your body and take good care of your body. How can you move your Yang Qi so quickly? Next, you should eat more tonic food and slowly adjust your body. I have wanted to tell you this for a long time. You lose Yang every morning. If you continue like this, you will become physically weak sooner or later. Before, we were just an ordinary relationship, and it was not convenient for me to control you. Now that we are the closest people, I must strictly control these. From today on, we will sleep together every night, and I will supervise you every morning."

Qu Lian: “…”

"I know you are in pain," Yan Changge said gently after being stern. He hugged Qu Lian, who looked dazed, and said, "But please be patient. You still have decades to live, and you can't let your body be damaged so early. I will slowly take care of your body in the future. Sooner or later, you will be able to be like a normal person and practice martial arts to inherit the Qu family's martial arts."

Qu Lian looked hopeless and said, "Then how long do I have to wait for the treatment?"

Yan Changge calculated and said, "It won't take too long. Five to ten years will be enough."

Qu Lian: “…”

"What's wrong?" Yan Changge pinched his face and asked.

Qu Lian: "Don't pay attention to me, I want to be quiet, and don't ask me who Jingjing is."

After saying that, he rolled onto the bed, silently lying down with his back to Yan Changge, not wanting to say a word.

Five to ten years, even the right to have sex every morning was taken away, and he felt that he would be suffocated to death if he didn't have to wait five years.

When Yan Changge saw Qu Lian, he also got on the bed and held her from behind. Qu Lian shuddered in her heart, but she didn't want to turn back at all. What's the use of having a boyfriend who can't be used!

Wait, it seems like I’m the one who can’t be used... Qu Lian froze for a moment, and silently took back what he had just thought in his heart. A boyfriend who is useless can still be loved!

It's fine to be purely Platonic in the future...

After all, they went out for horse riding today, so Qu Lian was a little tired. He lay quietly for a while and soon fell asleep. Yan Changge hugged him for a while, and when he saw that it was almost time for dinner, he quietly got up and went out to buy food. Today was the first day of their love, and Yan Changge flipped through his phone and saw that he wanted to cook for his lover himself, which caught his appetite.

Qu Lian was in a bad mood today. I failed to meet his requirements, so I still had to perform well.

So Yan Changge bought some rice and vegetables at a nearby supermarket, and looked up how to use various brands of electrical appliances online. He found a lot of recipes and learned how to cook them.

Qu Lian was awakened by the aroma. Yan Changge put the food on the table in his bedroom. The aroma filled his nose. He had not eaten much at noon, and now he could not help it. His nose twitched a few times and he woke up. Seeing the rich and beautiful food on the table, he picked up the chopsticks and took a bite and praised: "It's delicious! Where did you buy it?"

"I searched for recipes and watched videos online and made it myself." Yan Changge said.

Qu Lian: “…”

He took another bite and found it even better than the food in the restaurant, homely and affordable. He couldn't help but ask again, "Did you often cook in your sect?"

"Never cooked before." Yan Changge said. He was a magic weapon that could be used on the battlefield, not a kitchen knife in the hands of a soldier. How could he cook before? Now he only cooked when taking care of his lover.

Qu Lian: "... Is this your first time cooking? Is it so delicious?"

Yan Changge nodded and said, "It's not that difficult to learn. It's taught very clearly online, and there are videos. Just imitate the movements and do it once."

Qu Lian: “Haha.”

Yan Changge's words would probably offend all the chefs in the world. They worked hard to attend classes in chef schools, and then learn from masters. It took them several years to make the taste that he made just by watching once. If any chef knew, they would be furious. Qu Lian thought of Yan Changge's strong learning ability, who started doing college entrance examination simulations after only two weeks of study. He felt that some people were born to attract hatred. If such a tyrant was dragged out, he would be beaten by all the students.

Although Yan Changge was a bit of a hater, the food was still very delicious. After Qu Lian finished his meal, he held his swollen stomach and sat next to Yan Changge. He felt better and said, "You must take good care of my body and strive to achieve harmony in life as soon as possible."

Yan Changge didn't quite understand what "Life Harmony" meant, but he roughly understood what Qu Lian meant, so he said gently: "I will try my best to find a way."

"That's good," Qu Lian said, leaning his head on Yan Changge's shoulder, "It's just five or ten years. I've already waited for ten years since I was fifteen, so it doesn't matter if I wait another ten years."

He was so obedient that Yan Changge felt that his sword's heart was getting unstable, as if it was going through the process of melting from black iron to molten iron again. The only thing that could melt this black iron from outer space, besides the passion in the human heart, was the most passionate emotion in the world. Perhaps because he was forged from human flesh and blood, he understood human emotions better than other swords from the moment he was formed.

Allowing his heart to soften, Yan Changge moved over and gently kissed Qu Lian on the lips, letting the strange heat burn on his sword and spreading throughout his body.

(XXV)

After the horse farm, Qu Lian stayed at home for a few days. Yan Changge would prepare medicinal food for him every day, which was quite delicious compared to the popular medicinal food nowadays.

Since falling in love, Qu Lian started to hold it in every morning, then take the three dogs and one cat out for a walk, race with the bald husky who had grown fur, run until he was out of breath, go home to take a shower, and eat breakfast made by Yan Changge. In the morning, watch Yan Changge beat up the students who had studied hard for twelve years, eat lunch at noon, and continue to watch Yan Changge beat up in the afternoon. In the evening, do some intimate things between couples (not too intimate, just thinking about it makes me sad), and be forced to go to bed at nine o'clock, because you have to take care of your health.

During the day, when Yan Changge was doing his homework, Qu Lian would open his phone and check Weibo. Sure enough, the video of Yan Changge flying to save people at the racecourse became popular again, and it was even more popular than the last video of the flying police. This was probably due to Shang Huaiyuan's influence. Many big Vs forwarded this video, and Yan Changge's Weibo fans increased to more than one million. This is before he officially debuted. Once he officially appears in front of the public, this number will probably be even more terrifying.

After doing the questions for a few days, Yan Changge felt that he was ready to take the college entrance examination, so he stopped studying and planned to go out to do good deeds. He was very lazy these days. Apart from the merits he got after saving Qu Lian at the horse farm that day, he had nothing else. Fortunately, he absorbed a lot of electricity last time to maintain his human form, and the merits were not wasted.

Yan Changge counted the days and estimated that the official ID card should be issued, so he went to the Lincheng Police Station to get it. Looking at the flat-headed self on the ID card, Yan Changge realized that he was now an official resident of China.

"With my ID, I can sign up for a driver's license test," Yan Changge said to Qu Lian, "Then I can drive you every time you go out."

Qu Lian was delighted, but said, "I like being your driver, but getting a driver's license is good. It's a must-have skill for modern people."

The two smiled at each other, and the young clerk at the ID card office felt that he was flashed with pink bubbles. When Yan Changge first came to the business hall, it was this young clerk who helped him register as a Guwu hermit. At that time, the young clerk was impressed by Yan Changge's handsomeness, but it was a pity that they didn't have the chance to meet each other in the future. Who knew that before she made a move, this high-quality man was taken by someone else.

However...

Secretly glancing at Qu Lian's incredibly beautiful face, the young clerk silently gave them both a thumbs up in his heart. These two people standing together are really pleasing to the eyes!

Now that we are already at the police station, it would be best to say hello to Shen Yifei. After all, he is Yan Changge's future colleague.

Thanks to the video and official public statements, everyone in Lincheng Police Station knows Yan Changge. They know that he is a modern hero with great martial arts skills and a strong sense of justice, and they all understand that he is a good person. But after seeing Yan Changge, the police officers in Lincheng Police Station couldn't help but walk along the wall and didn't dare to get close to him. Yan Changge's aura was unstoppable.

"You're here." Shen Yifei saw the two of them and greeted them casually, but his expression was not good.

"You look... like you're in trouble?" Yan Changge asked.

There was a hint of dark energy between Shen Yifei's brows, and it was like dark clouds were gathering. He was afraid that there would be a bloody disaster in the near future.

"It's still about Wang Yanfeng's case!" Shen Yifei slammed the table in anger, "Wang Linzhi ran away!"

"Wang Yanfeng's adoptive mother? The main culprit in this case?" Yan Changge asked.

"That's right," now that the instructor's identity has been confirmed, Yan Changge can no longer be considered an outsider. When the training officially starts, Yan Changge may have to go to work with them, so Shen Yifei did not hide it. "Because this matter is still under investigation, everything is a unilateral accusation by Wang Yanfeng, and it cannot be used as a reason to detain people. After we detained Wang Linzhi and Chang Yixiu for 48 hours, the two were bailed out by their own lawyers. We deliberately found a master to secretly monitor them, but who knew that Wang Linzhi still ran away! Her martial arts are higher than expected, and the masters responsible for guarding her can't catch up with her at all! However, after knowing the news of Wang Linzhi's escape, we quickly found evidence that she was preparing to take people for Wang Yanfeng. Now she has been fully wanted in the country, and she can't escape from China even if she escapes. I don't know where she is hiding!"

"Where is Chang Yixiu?" Yan Changge asked again.

"This old fox is cautious in his work and has no involvement in this matter at all. Wang Yanfeng's accusation alone is not enough. What's more, he actually admitted openly that he had a relationship with Wang Yanfeng, but he actually accused Wang Yanfeng of using this relationship to absorb the yang energy in his body. Both parties have only verbal accusations and insufficient evidence, and they can't even file a case!" Shen Yifei slammed the table in anger.

"Are there any high-definition photos of Wang Linzhi and Chang Yixiu without makeup?" Yan Changge asked.

"Yes, we took a photo when we collected evidence before, but why do you want this?" Shen Yifei asked curiously.

"Let's see, maybe there are some clues." Yan Changge answered mysteriously.

Shen Yifei gave the order, and soon someone found several seven-inch high-definition photos for Yan Changge. These photos were well taken, capturing the facial features of the two people from various angles, allowing Yan Changge to see their faces clearly.

Yan Changge borrowed a pen and paper, sat in Shen Yifei's seat, and wrote and calculated on the photo. No one knew what he was doing. Shen Yifei couldn't understand, so he pulled a chair over and watched Yan Changge write those special symbols with Qu Lian. Shen Yifei vaguely knew that Yan Changge was writing some function symbols, but he had no idea what he was writing. He was too old to understand.

After calculating for more than half an hour, Yan Changge smiled and said, "I think I roughly know where Wang Linzhi is."

"How, how did you know?" Shen Yifei didn't believe it at all. If one could know where Wang Linzhi was by just looking at a photo, then what was the point of having the police? Why was there a nationwide manhunt? Why wouldn't everyone just go and look at the photo?

"Mathematics is indeed the foundation of all sciences," Yan Changge exclaimed, "I only know the basics of Feng Shui, but since I learned functional calculus and the calculation method of making assumptions first and then verifying them, my calculation skills have really improved by leaps and bounds. No wonder the great minds in ancient times knew everything about astronomy and geography. They must have learned the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art, and their math must have been top-notch! The reason why I only knew the basics before and didn't understand the essence is because I didn't learn math!"

Shen Yifei: "..."

Qu Lian: “…”

Shen Yifei approached Qu Lian and asked in a low voice: "What is he saying? Why do I not understand a single word of what he said even though I have heard it before?"

Qu Lian looked at Shen Yifei and chuckled twice without answering, thinking to himself, if you don’t understand, how can a poor student like me understand what he is saying!

Fortunately, Yan Changge was a very patient person. He explained, "Just now, I used Wang Linzhi's facial features and the numbers I calculated in my mind, as well as the distance of the sun and the moon from the earth on the day she escaped, to make assumptions in the four directions of east, west, south, and north. Using the existing conditions, I assumed Wang Linzhi's chances of survival after escaping to these four directions. In the end, I calculated that her survival rate in the south was more than 90%. Since she escaped successfully, she must have fled to the south!"

Shen Yifei Qu Lian: "..."

"But the south is too vast, so further calculations are necessary. So I divided the south into twelve regions based on Wang Linzhi's birth year and month and her zodiac sign, and found that Mercury was closest to the earth on the day she escaped. Mercury is the ruling planet of Virgo, and the direction she escaped from is the lucky direction of Virgo, south-southwest, which is the westernmost of the twelve southern regions."

Shen Yifei: "..."

Qu Lian was better than Shen Yifei, and managed to stay sane and asked, "Why are you still studying constellations?"

"It's not the constellations," Yan Changge said. "After finishing the science questions these days, I studied the humanities and found that astronomy and geography are actually very similar to science. Many geographical features in ancient times were calculated based on mathematical algorithms, so I studied geography. I found that many principles of metaphysics come from the influence of astronomy and geography. It turns out that everything can be calculated through mathematics!"

Qu Lian: “Haha.”

Shen Yifei didn't understand what he was saying at all, so he took the map he drew and compared it with the map of Lincheng, dividing the south into twelve regions. According to the map drawn by Yan Changge, the southwest of the twelve directions was where Feng Village was located.

"It's Feng Village, Feng Village again?" Shen Yifei asked curiously, "Why did they flee to Feng Village last time when they rescued Wang Yanfeng, and now they are fleeing there again? Logically, they were caught in Feng Village last time, so the first place we should check this time should be Feng Village, why are they fleeing there?"

Yan Changge looked at the map of Feng Village. He was from there and was very familiar with it. He observed the longitude and latitude on the map, wrote them down on paper, and then wrote a bunch of mathematical symbols that no one could understand. After some calculations, Yan Changge frowned and said, "I know why."

"Why?" Shen Yifei asked anxiously.

"Because Feng Village is a place of evil for thousands of years." Yan Changge said solemnly, "Just as places where dragon veins gather are easily designated as capitals by the country, and places with good feng shui are easy to become big cities, evil places are also easy to gather some vicious and extremely evil people. Whether it's Wang Linzhi or Chang Yixiu, they are attracted by the evil aura of Feng Village and will definitely hide some secrets in Feng Village. If we go here, we will definitely find something."

And his Yan Chang Ge was also a fierce sword from Feng Village. But he didn't understand whether he made Feng Village a fierce place, or Feng Village a fierce place made him.

The author has something to say:

After Yan Changge fell in love with Qu Lian, he was filled with worries every day and was not happy at all.

Qu Lian: Chang Ge, why are you unhappy recently?

Yan Changge: Sigh

Qu Lian: Tell me what makes you unhappy and I will change it.

Yan Changge: Sigh

Qu Lian: Are you actually a straight man who can't accept me? That's okay. I can handle the breakup. It's not your fault.

Yan Changge: Sigh, I love you

Qu Lian: You are being so reluctant. I am not the kind of person who would be so shameless. Let’s break up! (Emma’s little theater has existed for so long, and I can finally say the words of breaking up directly!)

Yan Changge: It is because I love you that I feel sad and sigh.

Qu Lian: ...Why are you unhappy if you love me?

Yan Changge: I bent...

Qu Lian:?

Yan Changge (seriously): I bent

Qu Lian:?

Seeing that he still didn't understand, Yan Changge changed into his original form, turned around in the air, and said: "Can you help me see how my straight body has bent now? I'm so worried..."

Qu Lian: …
