Snowy Night (Extra Chapter)
"My master..." I didn't understand why he insisted on seeing my master's bamboo hut and alchemy room. Finally, after I tried to hide it from him a hundred times, he dragged me to the ice pool where my master slept. The ice pool was bottomless, and I didn't know how many wronged souls were in it. In the years I knew of, no less than a dozen lives had been lost there.
"Fei'er..." Ming stood beside me, holding me tightly. His heartache reached me too. "If I had known, I would never have abandoned you back then... I thought you could wait for me to come get you. I'm sorry." His voice was filled with pain.
"You've had a tough time too. I'm fine," I said casually. "Thinking about it, we're really destined to be together. It turns out we've never been far apart, and we've even suffered together." I wanted to comfort him.
"Fei'er, from now on I'm here, you won't suffer anymore. Even if you do suffer, I'll bear it all by myself."
"Ming." I hugged him. Silly boy, what are you talking about? Seeing you suffer makes me even more heartbroken than you are. The pain in my heart is many times worse than the physical pain. If I could, I would take your place. But I won't say that aloud, lest you get angry and drag me to bed again, forcing me to swear an oath while I'm not fully conscious.
"Let's go." I tugged at his sleeve. "I'm hungry, I want to eat."
"Okay." He pinched my nose and pulled me away. "Don't come here again, it's so deserted."
"Mm." I smiled.
He didn't know that I secretly sprinkled the poison, and once we left, this place would turn into a sea of fire. Even the entrance to the ice pool was sealed with meth; no one could enter again. Master, you said that if I were to fall into such a state, this place would be my refuge. I will never have that day, because I believe in Ming's sincerity and true feelings. Therefore, I will destroy this place, destroy this place that gave me all my skills but also made me unable to trust true feelings. It's also a way of erasing the fear and painful memories in my heart. Master, actually, I still want to thank you for saving my life. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be me suffering now. If Ming finds out I'm really dead, I don't know what he will become. But I know that's definitely not what I want to see. Ruoyao said that without me, he is not him. And what about me? Without him, I am not who I am now.
"What's wrong? You look so serious. Is something bothering you?"
I shook my head, looking out the window at the snow-covered ground and the fiery red plum blossoms. He had found it especially for me, saying it was to bring some warmth to my heart in the dead of winter. "I'm thinking about Fei Yu..."
Before I could finish speaking, he frowned and said, "Don't think about it."
"..." I looked up at him, as if looking at an immature child. "Why are you still jealous of Fei Yu?"
"Hmph. I was already worried enough that he was a girl, afraid you only liked girls. Now that I know you like men, I have to be even more wary of him, because he's a boy too." What kind of reason is that? You have to be wary of any boy? What am I? Do you think I'm a womanizer? Someone who specifically targets boys?
"Just thinking about it. Besides, Fei Yu is already married," I complained.
"Then why don't you marry me?" the person opposite complained, seemingly aggrieved.
"Why should I get married?" I almost gritted my teeth. I angrily smashed a pair of chopsticks in my hand. Several terrified maids dared not approach from afar. He used the excuse that I only liked boys to replace everyone around me with girls, making things incredibly inconvenient.
"I'm a man." I squeezed out these words through gritted teeth. Even if you pin me down in bed, I'm still a real man. How can I get married? I'm not like Fei Yu, that idiot who got tricked into marriage without even realizing the situation.
"Sigh~, I still want to see you in your wedding dress and phoenix crown, it must be so exciting." He muttered to himself.
The chopsticks in my hand turned to dust. I sneered.
"Fei'er, marry me just once, okay?" But he was lost in his fantasies, like a madman. What did he mean by "marry me once"? Did he expect me to marry him several times? I stretched out my smooth palm and blew the powder from the chopsticks away with a "whoosh," covering his eyes and making him cough twice, unable to utter any more infuriating words. Hehe, I'm in a great mood.
"I like snowy scenes in winter, but I don't like the cold," I muttered to myself. Leaning against the bed, I watched the sparrows in the yard chirping and enjoying the food I had prepared for them. This house was just right, facing the yard directly. The roof was high, allowing me to see the bright moon and the snow-covered ground, so I especially liked to stay in bed in winter, doing nothing but staying in bed, half-asleep and half-awake, looking out at the yard through the window.
This courtyard was also specially built for me by him. Back when he became the master of the Underworld Palace, he started construction and built this unique courtyard, which he named Feitian Haiya. This bedroom was also specially built for me. He said that the place where I used to live in the Mo family was too cramped and boring, so the house is exquisite, and even the courtyard is particularly interesting, so it is never boring.
In spring, there are many vibrant flowers, especially peonies, all of the same variety as those on the hill behind the Mo family's house, to give me a sense of home. In summer, there are roses, and the pond is filled with red, black, and yellow carp. Various lanterns hang on the artificial hill, reminding me of the temple fairs in my hometown. In autumn, there are wild oranges, hanging plump and juicy on the trees, looking very tempting. However, he doesn't allow anyone to pick them, saying that empty oranges aren't as attractive as a tree full of fruit. In autumn, the yard is also home to some small animals. I don't like cats and dogs, so he keeps tigers and deer, although I don't understand why his tiger doesn't eat his deer. But it does look quite amusing. In winter, there are only plum blossoms and pine trees. Daffodils are kept inside the house. The spoiled tiger sometimes lazily comes out to tease sparrows and chase wild foxes, but the rest of the time it goes back to its den to sleep soundly, even more so than I do. There's a waterfall on the hill behind this courtyard, and the place has been transformed to resemble the place where I used to like reading, except that the waterfall looks quite fierce.
When I first moved here, I found it very difficult to adjust. I wasn't used to the comfortable environment and the life of being waited on hand and foot, especially with people constantly doting on me and making me too lazy. It's better now, at least he converted the room next door into a medicine-making room for me, so I'm not so bored. I've also moved my master's books here, so I can read them when I have time. However, this kind of life can make one lose ambition, I always complain about that.
"Fine, I can just dump the work on them anyway. Where do you want to go?" Poor kids, don't blame me for being heartless, I just really love to play. Since he and I can't have children, he's been raising a bunch of orphans as his successors. They're all teenagers, and they seem very strong and capable. Several pairs, in particular, seem to have a very good relationship, almost like a couple. However, the boys he chooses are all very strong, because he says he's afraid I'll fall for them, so he doesn't look for someone like Fei Yu. -_-|| In his eyes, I'm just a pervert, only targeting people like Fei Yu. And then there's someone like Ruo Yao, he went on to complain that my relationship with Ruo Yao is too close. -_-||| Ruo Yao, I'm sorry, your reputation is ruined by him, not mine.
“The Four Seas. I haven’t been there yet,” I said.
"Although it's a bit far, it's still possible. I've met the Dragon Palace Master of the Four Seas," he continued. There seemed to be some hidden reason.
"That's good." I said, seeing his troubled expression.
"but..."
"What's wrong?"
"When I was young and vigorous, I traveled all over the country. Back then, I was young, and a man who wasn't a bit of a playboy was a wasted youth, so... I was a boy back then... so... I had physical needs... and, whether you were there or not... so..."
"Get to the point!" I almost shouted.
"I had a relationship with her..." he stammered.
I raised an eyebrow. "How old were you back then?" I asked sarcastically. It wasn't jealousy, just discomfort.
"16." He answered honestly.
How close are you and her?
"..." I don't want to answer.
"Speak!" I roared in fury.
"We slept together... Hey, Fei'er, listen to me, I didn't mean to..." She rattled off a whole bunch of things behind me, some true, some false. Half an hour later.
"Finished?" I drank my tea while he stood; I sat while he stood. I looked at him, but he didn't look at me.
"Fei'er, don't be angry. I hadn't met you back then, so I didn't..."
"I'm not going to Sihai anymore, I'm going to find Ruoyao." I made the decision immediately.
"Okay, I'll go and go make the preparations."
Heh heh, he'd rather travel the world with me than let me go home to see Fei Yu, or even see Ruo Yao. Even when I call to visit, he's so cold. I usually can't argue with him; the result of our arguments is being dragged to bed and completely drained, leaving me no strength to resist. Today, seeing he's in the wrong, I took the opportunity to bring it up, heh heh, I'm not really angry. If I'd known he did so many bad things when he was younger, I would have collected them all to make him feel guilty. Okay, after seeing Ruo Yao, I'll take this opportunity to detour and see Fei Yu and my second brother.
