Qu Lian had never expected that Yan Changge would be so open about their plans. In fact, such things did not need to be reported. Nowadays, things between men and women, and between men, were not worth mentioning. Even pregnancy and childbirth could lead to a breakup. Having a wedding night without a wedding ceremony was simply a small matter. If Yan Changge had not insisted on making their relationship public to his family before having a wedding night, Qu Lian would have probably solved the issues that they had been waiting to resolve in the car with Yan Changge on the way back from the disaster area.

Ever since Yan Changge started speaking, Qu Lian had been in a state of shock and unable to think. It was not until Qu Feng bravely, strongly, and loudly shouted out his true thoughts that Qu Lian came to his senses.

After taking a quick look at his aunt and cousin who were standing there like dumbfounded children, Qu Lian hastily tugged at Ning Buzhe's sleeve.

Ning Buzhe: "..."

There's no point in pulling him. It's not you who disagrees, but your uncle does.

However, when Qu Lian looked at his elder brother with pleading eyes, Ning Buzhe suddenly felt a desire to protect him. He always unconsciously wanted to take care of Qu Lian, and this feeling from the bottom of his heart was the reason why Ning Buzhe was sure that he was really a member of the Qu family.

No matter what kind of paternity test or evidence analysis, it cannot compare to his feelings.

That is an emotion that comes from the depths of memory and blood, something that cannot be erased by any means in any era. It is an instinct that Qu Lian has had since birth.

He is my brother, I can't bear to see him suffer, I want to make him happy.

So Ning Buzhe walked towards his aunt without letting his reason control him, and said beside her: "Although Yan Changge is very arrogant, he is still very respectful to us. Xiaolian has lived with him for more than half a year. If he really wanted to do something, he would have done it long ago. He was able to tell us so straightforwardly, obviously because he didn't want Xiaolian to be bullied for no reason. From this point of view, he is a very traditional person who values ​​his family."

"Well..." The aunt said with difficulty, "Now that you put it, it seems to be true..."

Hearing that his aunt had somewhat relented, Qu Lian quickly said, "Yes, yes, you don't know how much I want to be with him, but he's an old-fashioned guy who insists that he won't have sex with anyone without the approval of his elders. He's quite capable, so I can't force him, otherwise I wouldn't have been so frustrated that I would have decided to give him a legitimate status."

Everyone: “…”

In order to be with Yan Changge openly, Qu Lian is now trying desperately to discredit himself.

"Don't say anything," Qu Feng waved his hands and said, "I can't agree to the whole family staying together for the New Year. It's one thing to reluctantly agree to you being together, but the bridal chamber is another. Xiaolian, you will live with your uncle from today on, and Yan Changge can live wherever he wants. When the wedding ceremony is officially held, we can talk about the bridal chamber. I am a conservative and traditional person, and I am not sensitive to premarital sex."

Ning Buzhe couldn't help but glance at Qu Feng. His uncle really deserved to be the chairman. He was able to say these words in front of Yan Changge's murderous aura. He was truly a man who could do great things.

Qu Lian wanted to ask Qu Feng for help, but was grabbed by Yan Changge. The sword remained calm and he said politely to his uncle, "Since the elders say so, it is impossible for Yan to go against their wishes."

When Qu Lian heard this, he became anxious. He had been suffocating for so many years and was about to die. Why was he still waiting?

Yan Changge squeezed his palm, signaling him to be patient, and continued, "But this dual cultivation matter will also be delayed. Uncle should know that Qu Lian was injured by the killer's internal force twenty-one years ago, and his health has been poor since then. Eleven years ago, he soaked in ice water for several hours in the cold winter, and his foundation is very poor. In recent years, you should have taken Qu Lian to see many famous doctors. This disease that has been inflicted since childhood cannot be cured. Now that he is young, Qu Lian seems to be fine, but after he is over thirty, his health will get worse and worse, and I am afraid he may die suddenly at any time."

Qu Feng was silent for a moment. This was why his family doted on Qu Lian so much. This child might not live to be 35 years old. They hoped that he would be happy every day he lived. After Ning Buzhe heard what Yan Changge said and saw the expressions of the Qu family members confirming this, he felt uncomfortable as if his heart was blocked. That was his younger brother!

"My master has a set of dual cultivation and mutual supplementation mental method. After confirming my relationship with Qu Lian a few days ago, I taught him to practice the basic breathing method. I plan to use this mental method to regulate Qu Lian's body after he has laid a good foundation. Qu Lian is inadequate in innate true energy, so medicine is naturally ineffective. But if I use my essence, I can slowly replenish his innate true energy and let him slowly become the same as ordinary people. After time, I can open up his Ren and Du meridians, and Qu Lian can practice martial arts. But this process is very slow, and it will take at least three to five years to see results. After the age of thirty, the body will go downhill and there will be no way to do anything. After the New Year, Qu Lian will be twenty-six years old, and there are only four years left to reach thirty. Time waits for no one, and I was impatient and did not consider the feelings of the elders." Yan Changge continued to explain.

"Dual cultivation means..." Qu Feng asked with difficulty.

"That's exactly what you're thinking, uncle," Yan Changge replied, "and that's also a Taoist saying. Taoism emphasizes the harmony of yin and yang, which can also be understood as the old and the new. The last moment of the old year is yin, and the first moment of the new year is yang. The transition from the old to the new is the best time for treatment, and you must choose a good time for the first dual cultivation. I hope uncle will agree to this. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you'll have to wait another year, alas..."

Yan Changge shook his head and let out a long sigh.

Qu Feng: “…”

He doubted the truth of what Yan Changge said, but he didn't want to joke about Qu Lian's health. For a moment, he was filled with entanglements and contradictions, and he really didn't know what to do.

In the end, it was the eldest aunt who was more straightforward. She patted Qu Feng on the back and said, "Why do you care so much about young people's affairs! Even if they didn't ask for your consent and didn't come here tonight to celebrate the New Year, and secretly did the thing, could you wait until the matter was over before disagreeing? They could tell us first. The children still have a lot of thoughts."

The aunt spoke frankly, but Qu Lian could tell that she was speaking through gritted teeth.

"Chang Ge... your name sounds so familiar," the aunt said to Yan Chang Ge, "What we are most concerned about is the same, that is Xiao Lian's health. Since you said time waits for no one, then hurry upstairs, the guest room has been prepared for you, Xiao Lian (secretly gritting her teeth)... I will leave it to you."

Yan Changge smiled faintly, held Qu Lian's hand and said to his aunt: "Don't worry, aunt, my skills have improved recently, maybe I can make Xiao Lian recover within a year or two."

"Okay, you guys go up." The aunt waved her hand lightly, but her heart was bleeding.

Just like that, he personally gave away his most precious child, Xiao Lian...

Yan Changge bowed deeply to his family, then took Qu Lian's hand and went upstairs. Halfway through the walk, Qu Lian said, "Do you know where my room is? Come, I'll lead the way."

After saying that, he trotted over and dragged Yan Changge towards his room. He looked even more anxious than Yan Changge.

The Qu family: “…”

Qu Lian's room was very neat and tidy, with a complete bedroom and bathroom, and good soundproofing. The room was always cleaned, and the bed sheets were all new. It seemed that Qu Feng's family had been waiting for Qu Lian to move in.

As soon as the door was closed, Qu Lian pushed Yan Changge against the wall and kissed him hard on the lips, as if he wanted to kiss all his passionate feelings into Yan Changge's heart. He really liked this man... and this sword.

The two kissed passionately for a long time. At the beginning, Qu Lian took the lead passionately, but later he could not match Yan Changge's lung capacity that did not require breathing. Yan Changge soon took the initiative and kissed Qu Lian until he was dizzy. After a while, he sank into the mattress.

"Wait, wait!" Qu Lian suddenly thought of something in a daze. He pushed Yan Changge away and checked the time on his phone. It was 17:23 in the afternoon.

Qu Lian: “…”

"What's wrong?" Yan Changge asked.

"Don't you think this time is a bit early?" Qu Lian asked, "I think we should start at 11pm."

"It doesn't matter," Yan Changge said confidently, "I can take as long as I want."

Qu Lian: "...I can't, I'm just an ordinary person, thank you."

Yan Changge stood up helplessly, felt Qu Lian's pulse, and frowned, saying, "Although sharing your merits with me will help your body, it has not yet fully recovered. In this case, it will only take three to five minutes... 11 o'clock is probably too early, so we can start at 11:55."

Qu Lian: "...Although I know I'm useless, I'm not that useless."

"Before that, you'd better regulate your breathing. Didn't I teach you the inner energy method to warm up your body? You can circulate it for a few times first, and when your body has adapted, I will replenish your yang energy, and you will feel much better."

"So is it true what you said before that dual cultivation can cure diseases?" Qu Lian asked.

"Of course it's true," Yan Changge nodded, "but it doesn't apply to you and me. Dual cultivation is different from ordinary cultivation. The true essence exchanged is the original true essence. I am in the form of evil spirit, and the original true essence in my body is all evil spirit. This kind of negative energy is unbearable for ordinary people. If you accept my evil spirit, I'm afraid you will take the path of cultivating magic in the future, which is not acceptable. If you want to truly practice dual cultivation, only when my accumulated merits are enough to wash the marrow with the Yijing, completely offset the evil spirit in your body, and make the energy entering your body all positive energy, will it be truly effective. Before that, you and I can only act like ordinary people."

"How long will it take?"

Yan Changge calculated for a while before saying, "I am using the evil spirit accumulated over two thousand years... Even if I have great merits, it will take me several hundred years..."

"What about my body you mentioned before..." Qu Lian asked a little worriedly. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that he would not be able to be with Yan Changge after he died.

"Fool," Yan Changge rubbed his hair and said, "You and I have long ago signed a symbiotic contract. If you live, I live. If you die, I die. I will always be with you. I have been taking care of your body. You have merits to protect you. You have long been an extraordinary body. You can live with me for as many years as you want."

Qu Lian heaved a sigh of relief, but soon his heart began to tighten again: "It only took five minutes for the extraordinary body?"

"For those who are strong, it can take half an hour to an hour. It has nothing to do with life span. It depends mainly on the yang energy."

Qu Lian: “…”

Seeing that there was no hope, he had no choice but to sit cross-legged and meditate, and began to practice according to Yan Changge's teachings. Otherwise, Yan Changge would not respond for several hours, but he would be gone, which would be totally uncoordinated.

Seeing that Qu Lian had already entered into a state of meditation, Yan Changge felt relieved, opened the door, and whispered to the four people who were milling around the door, "Qu Lian has already entered into a state of meditation, don't disturb him."

"Entering a state of meditation?" Ning Buzhe saw Qu Lian sitting cross-legged through the crack in the door and asked in a low voice, "What new tricks are you using?"

"Qu Lian is not in good health. He had sex without preparation. The excessive yang energy will make him weak and unable to be replenished, which will cause damage to his body. He should regulate his breathing first and have some true energy in his body, so that he can recover slowly." Yan Changge walked out, closed the door, and said to everyone with a forbearing look on his face.

The two of them rushed upstairs to make peace, but in the end they ended up practicing meditation. No one expected this development. As a man, he naturally understands men best. The dissatisfaction in Qu Rui's eyes finally turned into sympathy. He boldly patted Yan Changge on the shoulder and said with an "I understand" expression: "You've worked hard."

Yan Changge smiled implicitly: "For Qu Lian's health, everything is worth it."

He glanced at the eavesdropping family members and said frankly, "Qu Lian will not wake up until midnight at the earliest. There are still several hours left. It is not a good idea for you to keep guarding outside the door. How about I wait until Qu Lian's trance is over and then call you upstairs?"

Yan Changge said with an expression of "I welcome you to eavesdrop, anyway, I'm not the one who is angry", fully demonstrating his magnanimity and wisdom in front of the Qu family.

Four people: “…”

"Hmph!" Qu Feng snorted angrily and went downstairs first. As soon as he left, the others also had the stairs and followed him out. Yan Changge stood on the upper floor, looking down at them with an unfathomable smile.

After the four people left and he was too embarrassed to climb upstairs again, Yan Changge walked into the room with peace of mind and looked at Qu Lian who was regulating his breathing.

He moved over gently and sat beside Qu Lian, so quietly that even the mattress did not move. Yan Changge stared at Qu Lian intently, his peach blossom eyes that were always full of charm were now tightly closed, highlighting his long eyelashes. Yan Changge reached out and lightly touched his eyelashes, feeling his heart, which could beat automatically without the need to use his true energy after the heavenly tribulation, beat even harder.

It was beautiful no matter how I looked at it. I couldn't bear to look away. The more I looked at it, the faster my heart beat, as if it would exceed my capacity if it continued to beat like this. Even so, I still wanted to look at it, as if I would never get tired of it even if I looked at it for thousands of years.

This is the true human body after transformation, with seven emotions and six desires, which will breed the formless inner demon. The so-called cultivator is to experience the seven emotions and six desires, and then cut off all emotions and love, so that he can achieve great enlightenment and achieve the right result.

But what did he want that positive result for? Compared to the indifference and ruthlessness of eternity, Yan Changge preferred the splendor of a moment.

Qu Lian didn't know how long he had been in meditation. When he opened his eyes, there was a warm light on in the bedroom and it was pitch black outside. Yan Changge was standing beside him, looking at him intently. They were so close that if he moved the slightest, their lips would touch.

But Qu Lian did not move. He just looked at Yan Changge quietly. In those eyes, he saw himself. His heart and eyes were filled with himself.

"What time is it?" Qu Lian asked. The air brought by his breath blew on Yan Changge's lips, as if inviting a kiss.

After hearing his question, Yan Changge moved. He held Qu Lian's hand and replied, "11:10."

"It's not twelve o'clock yet." Qu Lian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sheepishly, "But it will be soon. There's not much time left."

I didn't feel embarrassed when I was seducing Yan Changge before, but when it came to the formal occasion, I felt a little nervous.

Yan Changge walked over and kissed Qu Lian lightly on the cheek, followed by a series of intensive kisses, as if he wanted to possess him completely.

Qu Lian was very nervous. He was not as proactive as before. Instead, he leaned in Yan Changge's arms, letting him do whatever he wanted. He would tremble slightly from time to time, and it was unclear whether he was afraid or excited.

"Don't be afraid," Yan Changge said, "After you and I signed the symbiotic contract, we are one. You won't be hurt by me."

"I'm not afraid," Qu Lian shook his head and held Yan Changge's hand tightly, "I'm just very happy."

I'm so happy to meet you and so happy to fall in love with you.

Since he met Yan Changge, his fate, which was originally full of thorns, was cleared by an indestructible sword, and a bright and wide road was opened up. The sword was in front of him, clearing the way for him, fearing that he would be hurt in the slightest.

With such a precious sword protecting him, how could he be afraid?

Hearing that he was not afraid, Yan Changge kissed Qu Lian's forehead encouragingly and said in a hoarse voice: "Then be my scabbard. It belongs only to me and will never leave my scabbard again."

Qu Lian: “…”

No, no, no, he doesn't really like this positioning.

"A sword must eventually be sheathed. No matter how famous the sword is, without a sheath, it will only be a deadly sword that hurts others and itself. Be my sheath, seal me and protect me." Yan Changge kissed Qu Lian's ear, waiting for him to nod.

Qu Lian was reluctant to agree, but Yan Changge's hoarse voice was so charming that he couldn't help but nodded.

The moment he nodded, the sword was sheathed.

The author has something to say: Qu Lian: From 4pm to 11pm, that’s seven hours, Yan Changge, you won’t be soft, right?

Yan Changge: I am the best magic weapon in the world, indestructible. The hardest diamond in the world cannot compare to my hardness, so how can I be soft?

Qu Lian: …

Yan Changge shook his body and changed back to his original form: If you don’t believe me, touch it. Although it’s a little bent, it’s still a solid sword!

Qu Lian: …
