Chapter 100: Dragon Taming Vines entwined him, and he was tied tightly to the bed...
"Long time no see, Brother."
Zhong Ming said this, took another step forward, and slowly raised his arm.
"I miss you so much--"
Gu Congxing looked at the hand he stretched out to him, and suddenly Jiuying's scream appeared in his mind. He felt a chill on his back and subconsciously took a few steps back.
The slender, pale hand suddenly froze in mid-air, trembling almost imperceptibly.
“Senior Brother, you…?”
Zhong Ming stared straight at Gu Congxing, with disbelief and astonishment appearing in his dark golden eyes.
Although he already had a mature face, Gu Congxing seemed to see... grievance on his face again.
However, that fragile look seemed to be fleeting. Zhong Ming withdrew his hand, stood there with his head lowered and fell into silence.
Gu Congxing looked at the figure in front of him, his mind in a mess.
This reunion was so unexpected that he didn't know what to say at this moment. He thought that maybe he should just step on his sword and leave now.
But why do my feet feel so heavy? Why can't I take my eyes off that gloomy face?
Reason told him that he should set off now, but his mind suddenly recalled that many years ago in the cave of Zhuoguang Peak, he had hugged the man in front of him and said to him -
"Don't be afraid, Zhong Ming."
"I'll always be there for you."
Gu Congxing felt like two villains were fighting each other in his heart. He thought for a long time and said slowly, "Junior brother... huh!?"
Zhong Ming suddenly looked up and was already in front of him in the blink of an eye!
"bell--"
There was a jingling sound in his ears, and before Gu Congxing could react, his shoulders were tightly grabbed!
Zhong Ming was now more than a head taller than him, and his shoulders were even broader. When he stood face to face with him, he fell into a thick shadow.
"Senior Brother! Senior Brother!"
His calmness and composure were suddenly shattered. His eyes almost pierced through Gu Congxing, and his tone was urgent and frantic: "Is this a dream? Is this really Senior Brother?"
"If this is a dream, why is it so warm!?"
"If that's true, why would Senior Brother dislike me or be afraid of me——!"
His hands were getting tighter and tighter, almost as if he was going to pin Gu Congxing in his arms.
Waves of pain came from his shoulders, and suffocating pressure came down. Gu Congxing gritted his teeth and suddenly released intense spiritual power!
"boom--!"
The golden spiritual power exploded like a blade, instantly knocking Zhong Ming back several steps!
A layer of anger covered Gu Congxing's face. He was about to speak to ask him to calm down, but suddenly his eyes met Zhong Ming's.
Zhong Ming stood there in a daze. Although he had been attacked, he showed no anger at all. Instead, his eyes brightened a little, making him look more like a carnivorous animal in the night.
He looked happy and excited.
"Brother, it's you." His voice was very low, like a whisper.
“Your Majesty—!”
The demon guards around heard the noise and rushed over, surrounding the place.
"A human monk has trespassed! Come on, take him down!" A guard leader shouted and was about to rush towards Gu Congxing, but a dragon blood vine suddenly emerged from under his feet and knocked him away!
"roll!"
Zhong Ming's face was gloomy, and the murderous aura on his body was even more intense.
"I will capture this person myself."
“?! Zhong Ming——!”
When Gu Congxing heard this, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief!
“Swish——”
Dragon blood vines broke out of the ground around him and immediately wrapped around him.
Gu Congxing gritted his teeth. He wanted to summon the Whale-Slaying Sword to chop the vine into pieces, but suddenly he remembered that the same-root ring that his junior brother had given him was from this dragon blood vine.
After just a moment of hesitation, the thick vines climbed up.
But they were clearly moving very fast, and when they touched Gu Congxing, they quietly retracted their spikes.
Not only that, their movements when wrapping around Gu Congxing could be described as extremely cautious. They put circles around him, but did not dare to tighten them at all, and even rubbed him affectionately.
Gu Congxing's eyes suddenly moved, and the surging spiritual power gradually subsided.
"I will deal with this man myself, and you all stay outside." Zhong Ming swept his eyes over, and the guards were all silent, and had no choice but to bow their heads and agree.
Gu Congxing was led inside by him, around the winding corridor, and into the bedroom.
“Swish!”
The entangled person was placed on the soft bed, and the vines were removed little by little.
Gu Congxing was about to sit up when he found that his feet were still tied up and fixed to the bedpost.
The tall, dark figure slowly approached him, grabbed his hands, and threw him down on the couch!
The thick raven-colored curly hair hung down, as if imprisoning the person under her.
"Brother...don't run! Don't leave me! Don't run—"
Gu Congxing frowned: "Zhong Ming, calm down!"
“Senior Brother, Senior Brother——!”
He looked like a madman, and he actually lowered his head and bit the white neck flesh, sucking and licking!
Numbness and pain ran through his whole body, Gu Congxing's face suddenly turned red, and his spiritual power surged!
“! You bastard! Shut up—!”
Swish——!
The unreserved spiritual wave attacked again, pushing the person away completely!
Gu Congxing stood up in an instant and pressed on Zhong Ming at lightning speed, pressing his knees against his chest and holding his arms with his hands.
"Zhong Ming, what are you crazy about?!"
He clenched Zhong Ming's wrists and burst out with the words he had wanted to say for a long time:
"Did becoming a Demon Lord ruin your brain? How could you become so cruel and disobey me?!"
Zhong Ming raised his head and stared at him, his expression somewhat blank.
"You've become quite capable! You released the demonic dragon captured by our master and started fighting with the demons everywhere. Now you dare to capture me and attack me?"
He was suddenly filled with anger. Even though the boy under him was no longer the skinny boy he used to be, he still scolded him as usual.
"Zhong Ming, why are you like this?! What do you think of me?"
This sentence was simply roared out.
After he finished speaking, he didn't continue, but his chest was still rising and falling with his heavy breathing.
Zhong Ming still stared at him with his eyes wide open, as if he was stunned and did not move.
Did I say something too harsh?
Gu Congxing's heart sank slightly. Just as he was thinking about how to make amends, he saw Zhong Ming slowly smile.
???
He blinked in disbelief, only to see the person beneath him regain his blank, dazed expression, as if the smile just now was just an illusion.
The next moment, Zhong Ming frowned slightly, and tears welled up in his golden eyes.
Gu Congxing's heart trembled suddenly.
But the hurt and grievance on Zhong Ming's face could no longer be hidden. He blinked slowly, and tears gushed out like a burst dam.
"Brother, I know I'm not a good person, but I'm completely sincere to you! If you don't believe me, just cut it open and see for yourself!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Gu Congxing was shocked and angry.
"That's how it is! This life was given by you. If you want it, you can take it anytime! Outsiders say that I am an unforgivable devil, I admit it! Brother, if you want to punish evil and eliminate evil, my head of the Demon Lord will be your best way to make a name for yourself!"
He raised his head with a look of unyielding determination.
Gu Congxing looked at him and couldn't help but let go of his hands.
But the next moment, Ming turned around and sat up, stabbing his chest with his sharp claws!
"Zhong Ming!"
Gu Congxing shouted loudly and raised his hand towards him——
Zhong Ming's eyes moved slightly, he closed his eyes and gave a self-deprecating smile.
Are you going to use your spiritual power to push me away again?
But he didn't feel the impact of spiritual power.
On the contrary, it has a dreamy soft touch.
——He was hugged.
The soft and warm embrace, no different from before, seemed to bring him back to seven years ago.
Gu Congxing's soft sigh sounded in his ears, carrying with it a moist and hot breath.
"…I'm sorry, I was too harsh just now."
"What others say about you is their business. I've been with you for so long, don't you have a sense of justice in your heart? Stop saying things like pledging allegiance and putting you and me on opposite sides."
Indeed, Junior Brother was different. He was ferocious and cruel, showing no mercy to Jiuying. But from the moment he met me until now, he had never harbored the slightest malice towards me.
Even the dragon blood vine that bound him was handled with caution, and even the thorns were retracted.
Obviously, I was the one who hurt him, but when he looked at me, there was a deep sense of... guilt in his eyes.
With his ability, if he wanted to use force on me, why would this happen?
Thinking about it this way, he had two different expressions when facing me alone and when facing the demons. Could it be... that he was deliberately putting on a show in front of those demons?
This child has always been extremely thoughtful.
Gu Congxing hugged his arms tighter. The guy who always buried himself softly in his arms was now stiff all over. Gu Congxing frowned and smiled bitterly again.
"Junior brother, you must have suffered a lot over the years."
Zhong Ming's breathing was very light and he could hear it in his ears. Then he felt a dampness on his shoulder.
Unlike Lan Jue who shed tears silently, he was holding back his tears at first, but then he stopped suppressing his emotions and burst into tears as if to vent his emotions.
Gu Congxing secretly complained that he was already a grown man, but crying made him feel worse.
My arms can touch the slightly curly long hair, which feels very good.
In this way, it felt like I was holding a large dog. Even though it was so big, it would unconsciously pounce on its owner and hug and rub against him like it did when it was a puppy.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Zhong Ming's crying stopped abruptly. He sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "...Senior Brother?"
"Yeah." Gu Congxing still had a smile in his voice.
Zhong Ming loosened his arms, grasped his shoulders, and said angrily, "Okay, Senior Brother, you are actually laughing at me!"
"I don't."
"It's obvious! Why don't you admit it? Look at my Wuqingling Dragon Claw—"
Two evil claws attacked Gu Congxing's sensitive waist!
"Hahahahahahaha! Stop, stop scratching me. I admit it. Is it not okay if I admit it? Hahahaha—"
After playing around like this for a while, both of them were lying on the bed unknowingly, their bodies moving flexibly. Gu Congxing was tickled so hard that his whole body was trembling. He rolled to the side, and actually rolled to the side with Zhong Ming as well.
The two looked at each other, Zhong Ming stopped and looked at him with wide eyes.
His eyes are bright.
“Senior Brother, Senior Brother…”
He recited with a smile in his eyes, then moved closer little by little, put his long arms around her, and hugged Gu Congxing tightly in his arms.
He was like a beast whose fur had been stroked. He was holding Gu Congxing quietly at this moment, completely ignoring his own body that had grown a whole circle bigger, and just kept rubbing against him.
"Brother, look."
He spoke softly and actually tore open his clothes!
"Ahem! Speak properly, why are you taking off your clothes—huh?"
Above the plump chest muscles is a small golden bell, emitting a bright and spiritual light.
"It's the Fanyin Bell..." Gu Congxing blurted out.
"Yes, Brother. I have been wearing it all these years when you were away."
Zhong Ming lowered his head again and rubbed it against Gu Congxing's neck, his warm breath falling into the crook of his neck.
"The days when you were away were like a nightmare, like the most horrific illusion... I kept ringing the Brahma bell, hoping to break this illusion and return to the days when you were still by my side."
His voice was choked again.
"Brother, I really miss you."
"Junior Brother..."
Gu Congxing's expression was moved, and he couldn't help but stroke his slightly trembling back.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting..."
His voice was softer than he even realized.
Zhong Ming raised his head upon hearing the voice and looked into his eyes at him.
He seemed to be bewitched by the Yuelin fragrance of the person in front of him, and lowered his eyes and moved closer.
"Brother, I——"
At this moment, a burst of light burst out from Gu Congxing's clothes.
The lingering atmosphere was suddenly broken, and Zhong Ming's eyes dimmed.
Gu Congxing didn't notice the change in his expression, and had already taken out the rapidly flashing jade token -
"Cong Xing!! Are you safe? Where are you now? I'm going to find you, wait for me!"
It’s actually the eldest senior brother? !
