Chapter 107 A Place of Peace of Mind "How could I bear to leave you."...
The morning light pours down, bringing a brightness full of hope even in this magical world.
Gu Congxing was sitting in front of the mirror wearing a long robe, and her waterfall-like black hair was held in Zhong Ming's hand.
Zhong Ming combed his long hair from top to bottom with a rhino horn comb. His movements were slow and meticulous, as if he could do this all day long without getting tired of it.
Gu Congxing looked at the corners of his lips raised through the bronze mirror, and suddenly thought of these big hands that had the power of life and death, which were only so gentle when they were in front of him.
Although, not on the bed...
No! What are you thinking!
Gu Congxing shook his head slightly, and then heard someone behind him ask, "Brother, did I hurt you?"
"No!" Gu Congxing responded immediately. "By the way...how are your injuries?"
"The heart-eating poison has been cured. I've already used the healing elixir. It's nothing serious. I just need to recuperate for a while and I'll be fully recovered."
Zhong Ming's voice was soft. He stopped combing his hair and moved his fingers nimbly to tie a half bun for him and fastened a scarlet headband.
"Alright. Brother, are you satisfied with this?"
Gu Congxing glanced around and said, "This is my first time tying my hair like this, and it suits me perfectly. Junior brother, you're truly ingenious. Not only can you brew spirit wine and weave bracelets, but you can also braid hair."
Zhong Ming bent down and entered the camera with him.
"For my brother, I would do anything."
Gu Congxing smiled again and raised his arm to rub his head.
Zhong Ming rubbed his hand with a smile on his face, like a sated beast.
He grabbed the hand that was ruffling his hair, rubbed it against his face, and then kissed the palm of his hand with his lips.
"Brother, I feel like I'm...closer to you."
"What are you talking about?"
"Although I was able to hug my senior brother a few days ago, even with our skin touching, I always felt like there was a thick wall between us... I even felt that my senior brother was very far away from me and would disappear again at any time."
His eyes were lowered, and his eyelashes cast a shadow.
"But now, I can finally really touch you."
Gu Congxing was moved when he heard what he said.
He actually felt the same way.
Although he and his junior brother were almost inseparable before, he could never guess what he was thinking or what he really wanted.
It is right in front of me, yet it seems so far away.
"...This is because you took off your disguise in front of me, and I won't think twice when I'm around you."
It seems that the quarrel was of some use.
Gu Congxing patted Zhong Ming's face lightly: "From now on, don't hide anything from me anymore."
The Demon Lord sat beside him and said obediently, "Of course! My most shameful side has been seen by my senior brother. It's useless to pretend anymore."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then Zhong Ming summoned the spiritual fruit wine for them to drink together.
Gu Congxing also took out some mung bean pastries and osmanthus cakes from his storage ring, and the two of them finished both plates of snacks while drinking together.
"Speaking of which, are you going to continue hunting down Lin Ya?" Gu Congxing said while drinking fruit wine.
"Since that guy is colluding with the Apocalypse Sect, he must be out of the Demon Realm now." Zhong Ming played with the porcelain cup in his hand. "Let's go back to the Demon Palace first. His trusted subordinates may have some clues."
Gu Congxing nodded.
Zhong Ming supported his head and said slowly:
"Speaking of which, although I suspected it was him, I was never sure... I originally thought that if after this investigation I found out he wasn't a spy, then I could return the position of Demon Lord to him. After all, I stole it from his father."
Gu Congxing listened to him silently, and suddenly thought that all the demons in the Demon Palace were terrified of Zhong Ming, and only Lin Ya got along with him normally.
It seems that Lin Ya is the only confidant of this Demon Lord.
Thinking about it this way, Junior Brother not only has to fight internal and external troubles in the Demon Realm, but also has to be wary of spies lurking around him. Although he looks awe-inspiring and intimidating, he is actually under attack from all sides.
It is true that I was alone from beginning to end.
Gu Congxing's eyes moved slightly, and she held his hand on the table.
Zhong Ming raised his eyebrows slightly: "Senior Brother?"
"...If I really give him the position of Demon Lord, what will you do?"
Zhong Ming stroked his hand, and their fingers were interlocked.
"Brother, do you still remember the question you asked me at Meixianglou?"
——Then, little junior brother, where will your final destination be?
Gu Congxing nodded silently.
Zhong Ming raised the corners of his lips and smiled brightly.
"There has always been only one place for me to belong, and that is by your side, Senior Brother."
"Besides you, Zhong Ming has nothing else to ask for in this life."
Something in his heart suddenly trembled, Gu Congxing immediately withdrew his gaze and stood up suddenly.
"Ahem, ahem... I suddenly remembered that I left something in the room. I'll go get it. You, you just wait here."
Zhong Ming nodded with a smile.
Gu Congxing's figure quickly disappeared at the door, with a noticeable red flush on the tips of his ears.
It's really cute.
Zhong Ming raised the corner of his lips slightly, and was about to drink the spiritual wine, but he found that the communication symbol in his arms was getting hot.
"Hey, is your Excellency still alive?"
There was an obvious sense of gloating in Kuang Ye's voice.
"If you have to fart, do it quickly." Zhong Ming responded indifferently.
"Tsk tsk, Your Excellency is really impatient... I recently got a batch of gadgets made with Immortal Binding Ropes. They are particularly useful for cultivators. The taste is so ecstatic."
Zhong Ming's brows furrowed slightly as he heard Kuang Ye continue, "I originally wanted to put it directly into the 'birdcage' as usual, but since the owner is by your side, wouldn't it be better to offer it directly?"
The birdcage is the secret room in Meixiang Tower that is filled with bed items.
From the outside, it looks like a lewd place, but in fact it is covered with various barriers. Once a cultivator enters it, no matter how high his cultivation level is, it will be difficult for him to escape, and he will be cut off from the outside world and no one can find him.
Zhong Ming tapped the table with his index finger and glanced at the celadon bowls and plates that Gu Congxing summoned.
My senior brother had been sitting here a moment ago, relaxed as he drank tea and ate with me, chatting and laughing happily.
"No, I don't need that."
Zhong Ming's eyes were sharp and his voice was deep.
"Also, destroy the birdcage. Don't leave any trace of it."
"Ah?!" Kuang Ye immediately said dissatisfiedly, "That's a waste of natural resources——"
Before he could finish, Zhong Ming had already ended the communication.
That's right, he doesn't need a birdcage.
He had indeed wanted to lock his senior brother in a secret place where only he could see and hear him. His senior brother would only see him and not think of anyone else.
But he no longer needs it now.
Knowing that my senior brother also has me in his heart can bring me supreme happiness.
There is no need to keep your brother by your side, but you must never break his wings.
"Because I will always be by your side..."
This is my only home.
***
The next day, the two returned to the Demon Palace, and Zhong Ming began to investigate Lin Ya's former subordinates. For a moment, everyone in the Demon Palace was in danger, fearing that they would be the next to be captured and taken to the dungeon.
Seeing that he looked confident, Gu Congxing knew that he had already made a plan and did not need his help.
"Junior Brother, do you know where near the Demon Palace is best for training?"
The Demon Lord was lying on his lap with a comfortable look on his face, and Gu Congxing rubbed his head hard.
"Hmm... There's a cave behind the Demon Palace that looks like an ancient relic. Although its spiritual energy isn't as abundant as the immortal gate's, it's rarely visited, so the spiritual energy is very pure. I think it's quite effective for cultivation."
Zhong Ming half-closed his eyes and said in a leisurely voice: "Brother, how long do you plan to practice?"
"I don't know, but I hope I can break through successfully." After the previous battle with Lin Ya, he not only knew the limitations of his own strength, but also gained new insights.
Maybe it can achieve out-of-body experience.
"I understand. Then I must take advantage of my senior brother's training time to thoroughly clean up the demon clan."
Zhong Ming suddenly sat up, looked at Gu Congxing for a moment, and summoned a magical weapon emitting golden light from the storage ring.
"Golden Jade Clothes?!" Gu Congxing was surprised.
Zhong Mingle draped the golden jade robe on him with a gentle voice, looked at him carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.
Without waiting for Gu Congxing's response, he summoned the Qingyang Pure Spirit Amber and stuffed it into Gu Congxing's hand.
Seeing him like this, Gu Congxing looked worried: "You, why are you suddenly..."
"Brother, don't worry too much. It's just that the cave is filled with spiritual energy and is incompatible with this demonic realm. Even I have never set foot there. You are going in alone, so it is always better to have more protection."
There is no need to say much about the powerful body-protecting function of the Golden Jade Clothes. The Qingyang Pure Spirit Amber contains supreme vitality and is a treasure that is beneficial to cultivation.
Gu Congxing moved closer and looked Zhong Ming straight in the eye.
"You, you really won't do anything stupid while I'm training, right?"
"Of course not, brother. I'm sure of it."
Zhong Ming's dark golden eyes stared at him, moving closer to his face, their breaths blending together.
His voice was low and earnest.
"How could I bear to leave you?"
Before he finished speaking, he had already pressed his lips against Gu Congxing's and gave her a kiss.
"! You, please say this properly, why are you suddenly..."
Gu Congxing's face flushed suddenly, even his earlobes were tinged with red. Zhong Ming flirted with him for a while before the two of them left together.
The cave is not far from the Demon Palace, but its location is a bit remote.
Gu Congxing gave Zhong Ming some more instructions before stepping into the cave.
Abundant and pure spiritual power instantly surrounded him, which was completely different from the outside world where the spiritual power was thin and the demonic aura was strong. Gu Congxing felt like a traveler who had found an oasis. After checking and finding nothing unusual, he immediately immersed himself in it.
Zhong Ming stood silently outside the cave for a moment, and only after feeling the spiritual energy in the cave stabilized did he turn around and walk towards the palace.
It was worth it that he had gone to great lengths to snatch this ancient relic and spent several magic weapons to move it here.
The corners of the man's lips rose silently, and his golden eyes shone brightly.
"sieve--"
A strong wind blew, and demonic energy surged around him. Dragon horns suddenly emerged, and dragon blood vines broke out of the ground.
When he walked out of the Demon Palace, he had already become the Demon Lord who looked down upon everything.
The gold-plated black robe fluttered like iron. He stood on the top of the mountain in the strong wind, and the power of the devil fell heavily.
The dark mass of demons in front of him were all holding sharp weapons. When they saw him coming, they immediately took up a fighting stance.
Behind him, a group of demons, armed with weapons and armor, led by the half-tailed leopard demon, were ready for battle, waiting for Zhong Ming's order.
The two sides confronted each other, and the rebels accounted for nearly half of the total.
"A ghoul that devours human flesh, a glutton that refines living beings, a madman with a penchant for cruelty... Oh, I've been waiting for this day for so long. It's a wonder you were able to pretend for so many years."
His dark golden eyes swept over the fearful and ferocious demons below, Zhong Ming grinned, and suddenly drew out his sword!
"Today, I will catch you all in one fell swoop--!"
***
Let the Qi sink into Dantian, embrace the Yuan and keep the One.
The spiritual breath circulates in the spiritual veins for several cycles, and the five senses become clearer and the spiritual center becomes clearer.
Gu Congxing suddenly opened his eyes, and the golden spiritual power around him surged, almost reaching the level of leaving his body!
He stood up proudly and walked a few steps out of the cave.
I have been in seclusion for nearly ten days, and I don’t know how my junior brother is doing.
He should be waiting for me outside, right? Perhaps he has already been squatting outside the cave anxiously.
Gu Congxing didn't realize that the corners of his lips had risen silently, and his steps became lighter.
But when he stepped out of the cave, he did not see any figure.
It's completely empty.
And this... smell of blood that comes with the wind?!
Gu Congxing's face suddenly changed. He immediately summoned the Whale-Slaying Sword and rushed towards the Demon Palace!
This guy clearly said that he would never do anything stupid again!
The scene before him quickly shifted back, and Gu Congxing opened the palace door and immediately shouted, "Junior Brother——!"
In the empty temple, a person slowly turned around.
But that was not my junior brother.
Gu Congxing stopped in his tracks immediately and opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
How could he... be in the demonic realm? !
"You are indeed here."
The man was tall and muscular, wearing a long red robe that was as bright as flames. His raven hair was casually tied with a long red ribbon under his erect ears, which made him look even more beautiful and gorgeous.
Enchanting, powerful, and with bewitching power.
But the man's eyes were cold, and his voice seemed to be tempered by ice.
"Gu Congxing..."
"I finally found you—"
