Chapter 243 Red Kite Seeks Jade (Seventeen)
As darkness fell outside the window, the lanterns hanging outside the door spontaneously combusted without a flame. The dim blue light shone through the white paper covering the walls and onto the mottled surface, as if carrying a chilling cold.
Inside the room, Wei Feng placed luminous pearls in the four corners. The soft, bright light from the pearls dispelled the pervasive dampness and cold. He turned around and saw Jiang Gu meditating.
"Master." Wei Feng leaned in and put his arm around his waist.
This guy used too much force and pinned Jiang Gu down on the bed. Jiang Gu's primordial spirit returned to its place from his sea of consciousness, and he was a moment too late. The guy wrapped his whole body around him, his silver-blue mermaid tail shimmering in the light of the luminous pearl, and his long silver hair cascading down his bare shoulders and back, making him look like a bright and alluring demon.
"Get up." Jiang Gu met his burning gaze, but his voice was extremely cold.
Wei Feng didn't care. He pressed the man down beneath him, his sharp fangs brushing against his neck, his forked tongue licking his earlobe, and he whimpered, "Master, please help me."
He didn't think there was anything wrong with it, nor did he feel any shame. He grabbed Jiang Gu's hand and pressed it onto the most beautiful shark scale. The smooth, cool touch made Jiang Gu subconsciously want to pull his hand back, but Wei Feng wouldn't allow it.
"It hurts." Wei Feng obediently licked the corner of his mouth, his tail fin shimmering and incredibly beautiful against his calf.
Jiang Gu raised his hand and covered the back of his neck. The mermaid's damp, cold, and slightly fishy scent wafted over him, and he shut down all those coquettish yet annoying voices.
The lanterns outside swayed in the cold wind, the willow branches swayed, and the noise gradually came from the street.
Wei Feng lay on top of Jiang Gu, a thin layer of sweat appearing on his nose. His webbed fingers gripped Jiang Gu's wrist tightly. He lowered his head to lick it, only to be slapped on the forehead by Jiang Gu.
Wei Feng raised her head with a wronged expression, her eyes gleaming with a seductive red, staring intently at Jiang Gu.
Jiang Gu's expression was indifferent, his shoulders and neck were covered with fine hickeys, but the merman who kissed him was not gentle, some of them even bleed, and many luminous pearls rolled down his snow-white clothes, making the wounds look particularly tragic.
Wei Feng's fangs itched as he looked down to bite Jiang Gu's belt, only to have a slender hand grab his neck.
"No need," Jiang Gu thought it was unnecessary.
Wei Feng looked at him, and small, round luminous pearls fell down his cheeks with a clatter, hitting Jiang Gu in his arms. He looked somewhat hurt: "Master, do you think I'm dirty?"
This was completely absurd. Jiang Gu rarely felt wronged like this, so he paused for a moment before saying, "No."
Wei Feng cautiously smiled at him, but his actions were without hesitation. Taking advantage of the merman's smooth skin, he broke free from his hand and roughly bit off his belt.
Jiang Gu's expression went blank for a moment, then the enormous wings enveloped him, plunging him into darkness.
...
When Wei Feng was kicked down, he rolled twice on the ground and almost vomited blood.
A feather drifted down and landed on the tip of his nose.
Wei Feng removed the feather and got up from the ground, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Master, did I bite you too hard?"
Jiang Gu sat on the bed with a dark face, his voice so cold it could freeze a person: "Wei Linming."
Wei Feng shivered, then knelt down decisively beside the bed, lowered his head, and whispered, "Master, I was wrong, please don't be angry."
He should have used his hand first; it might have been too indecent for Jiang Gu, but he would have done it again next time.
After a long silence, Wei Feng cautiously raised his head and tugged at his sleeve: "Master?"
Jiang Gu rarely encountered a situation that could confuse him. The strange and eerie pleasure he had just experienced made him want to kill someone. When he heard Wei Feng shout, he looked up and saw the stains left on Wei Feng's lips. The guy even deliberately licked them and gave him a bright and innocent smile.
Jiang Gu's face darkened, but he hadn't refused earlier, which was what angered him—Wei Feng was being unreasonable, and he hadn't even pushed him away.
Wei Feng blinked and asked bluntly, "Master, do you still want it?"
Jiang Gu laughed angrily: "You—"
Knock knock knock.
A knock sounded at the right time, followed by Feng Wuyou's voice: "Brother Jiang, the ghost market in the city is open. Would you like to go and have a look?"
Wei Feng had somehow gotten close to him again, wrapping his arms around his neck and kissing his ear, his voice seductive and deep: "Master, let's not go, okay? We'll just stay in the room, just the two of us."
Jiang Gu subconsciously supported his lower back, his gaze momentarily unfocused. He was almost about to agree when Wei Feng secretly curled the corners of his mouth, but then he heard Jiang Gu's icy voice: "Alright, we'll be right there."
Wei Feng was stunned for a moment before Jiang Gu tore him off.
He stubbornly tried to stick out his tail again, but Jiang Gu grabbed the tip of his tail and pinned it against the bedpost. Jiang Gu stared at him coldly, his voice carrying a hint of warning: "Wei Linming, that's enough."
He released his grip, and Wei Feng huffed and flicked his tail, transforming back into human form. As Jiang Gu searched for his belt, Wei Feng proudly presented him with a belt made from his own shark scales: "Master, use this."
Jiang Gu glanced at him expressionlessly and took it.
As soon as Jiang Gu stepped out, Chan Lin, who was behind Feng Wuyou, suddenly took a big step back, his eyes wide with shock: "Brother Jiang, did a seductive ghost enter your room? What terrifying bewitching magic!"
"The Enchanting Technique?" Jiang Gu's eyebrows twitched slightly.
“Some demons sometimes force their partners into heat to attract mates, bewitching their minds. However, each race has its own methods, but none of them are particularly honorable. Some demons also use seduction techniques to seduce and arouse. The beautiful demons on the fifth floor of our Seven Star Tower all know how to do it…” Chan Lin clicked his tongue in amazement, “But this is the first time I’ve seen such a powerful seduction technique. It must be so intoxicating that people lose their senses day and night. Brother Jiang, you actually resisted…”
Feng Wuyou, standing beside him, frantically winked at him, signaling him to shut up. Chan Lin tilted his head in confusion: "Am I wrong?"
Wei Feng looked at Chan Lin as if he were looking at a dead toad, and Feng Wuyou raised his hand to cover his eyes.
Jiang Gu glanced at Wei Feng indifferently.
Wei Feng's murderous intent vanished instantly, and he smiled obediently.
He used his seductive arts on Jiang Gu day and night for several days in a row, using all his skills to finally get him onto the bed. Even so, Jiang Gu did not fall completely in love, which shows that his Dao heart and will are extremely strong.
Fortunately, Jiang Gu did not hold it against him.
The city of Red Cloud at night is completely different from the daytime. The once deserted streets are now bustling with activity. These ghost cultivators come from all different races, but without exception, they are all surrounded by extremely heavy Yin energy. Many souls that have not yet formed a physical body float in the air, and many little ghosts are running around chattering. Under the eerie blue lights, the bright red banners stretch out in a long line and flutter in the wind, looking from afar like a large patch of blood-red clouds.
Feng Wuyou was very curious about the things in the ghost market and kept pulling Chanlin to stop. Chanlin miserably took out his money bag to pay, and every time he took out a spirit stone, it felt like cutting off a piece of his flesh. Especially when he saw that the spirit stones were exchanged for some random, worthless things, he wished he could gouge out his own eyes.
Wei Feng followed behind Jiang Gu, wanting to explain, but he was always interrupted by shouts from the side. Several times he tried to take Jiang Gu's hand, but Jiang Gu subtly dodged him.
He rubbed his nose dejectedly, then his eyes lit up when he noticed something on a nearby stall.
Jiang Gu had just paid the spirit stones and received a Soul-Suppressing Pearl when he turned around and saw Wei Feng walking over excitedly, stopping in front of him and grinning foolishly.
Jiang Gu looked at him expressionlessly.
Wei Feng stretched out a hand, and in his palm sat a small skeleton about two inches tall. Wei Feng blew a breath of spiritual energy at it, and the little skeleton grew flesh and red clothes. Its features were exactly the same as Wei Feng's, except that it had a pair of white beast ears on its head and a big, fluffy white tail behind it. It shook vigorously at Jiang Gu, and then bowed repeatedly to Jiang Gu in Wei Feng's palm, covered its face and cried softly. Its tail and ears drooped down, and its eyes peeked at Jiang Gu through its fingers, just like a miniature version of Wei Feng.
“He said he knows he was wrong, Master.” Wei Feng handed the little figure to him and said with a smile, “Master, don’t be angry.”
Jiang Gu raised an eyebrow. Just as he raised his hand, a black shadow suddenly darted out from his sleeve. Before the two could react, it bit off the head of the little figure sitting in Wei Feng's palm, then grabbed the body and swallowed it in a few bites, the bones crunching in its mouth.
Just as Wei Feng was about to grab it, his other hand was faster, blocking the man-eating little monster. The little black ball flapped its wings, stuck out its tongue at Wei Feng, and then strained its muscles, producing a pair of ears emitting black smoke on its head and a fluffy black tail behind it. It hugged Jiang Gu's hand and rubbed against it vigorously, even letting out a burp.
"Tsk." Wei Feng gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "Master, this little primordial spirit is still alive?"
“It’s been resting in the Purple Mansion, so it must be hungry.” Jiang Gu casually touched the little primordial spirit’s newly grown ears, and then pinched its tail and little wings. The little black primordial spirit shamelessly opened its belly for him to touch.
Judging by its skill level, Jiang Gu must have played with it a lot.
Wei Feng's eyes turned red with jealousy. This broken primordial spirit was separated from him when his cultivation was not yet proficient. Although it contained his subconscious, it had long been out of his control due to the long separation. It might even develop its own consciousness in the future... And for so many years since he and Jiang Gu were separated, this little thing had always stayed by Jiang Gu's side. He was trying to coax Jiang Gu, but it ended up benefiting from it. It was simply outrageous.
This small wisp of primordial spirit rarely comes out, so Jiang Gu let it stay outside. It must have sensed the killing intent of its main body towards him, as it obediently sat on Jiang Gu's shoulder, holding onto a strand of his hair to keep itself in place, and happily pointed out the red ribbons in the sky to Jiang Gu.
Jiang Gu smiled and said, "It looks good."
Wei Feng followed behind, his teeth practically grinding to powder, and called out in a low voice, "Master..."
Jiang Gu turned around and glanced at him indifferently: "What is it?"
There was no smile, and his tone wasn't as gentle. Wei Feng's eyes dimmed slightly, and he stared at him, his eyes reddening.
Jiang Gu didn't want to pay attention to him, but then he saw this bastard start to shed tears. The street was bustling with people, and many people were giving him strange looks and whispering among themselves.
"Oh dear, has she run into a heartless man?"
"Tsk, she's crying so pitifully. I feel sorry for her even if he doesn't care."
"He looks so handsome when he cries..."
"Are you out of your mind? The city lord said they are members of the Half-Immortal Clan. You're asking for trouble. Get out of here!"
Jiang Gu frowned, casually conjured a sleight of hand to block Wei Feng's face, cutting off the prying eyes, and pulled him forward.
Wei Feng looked down at their clasped hands, and subtly curled the corners of his mouth, but his voice was as pitiful as could be: "Master, please don't be angry with me. We have already become Daoist partners. I have almost been struck dead by heavenly lightning these past few years, and my Daoist heart of the six desires is almost broken. I finally saw you, and I just couldn't help myself... I don't cultivate the Dao of abstinence. Master, please have pity on me."
His tone was extremely humble, yet the content he said was entirely self-righteous.
Jiang Gu almost laughed out of anger: "I taught you martial arts techniques—"
Wei Feng's tears fell onto the back of his hand.
Jiang Gu was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Don't cry."
It would have been better if he hadn't tried to comfort Wei Feng; the more he tried, the more Wei Feng cried, like beads falling from a broken string. Jiang Gu rarely saw him cry like this anymore, and he sighed almost imperceptibly, "Fine."
"Really?" Wei Feng's eyes lit up.
Jiang Gu placed the Soul-Suppressing Pearl in his lapel and said calmly, "Even a three-year-old child wouldn't cry like this."
Wei Feng grinned, seemingly unintentionally brushing away the little spirit sitting on his shoulder, and then put his arm around his shoulder.
The little spirit was so angry that smoke was coming out of its head. It flapped its wings and tried to get closer to Jiang Gu, but Wei Feng turned around and threatened it. It was so frightened that two lines of tears came out, which Jiang Gu then tucked into his sleeve.
There were many magical artifacts for suppressing souls in the ghost market. Jiang Gu picked out a few more, then glanced at the ghost cultivator selling flowers nearby and asked casually, "When you came out of Fujie City, Ji Jingchen didn't chase after you?"
“I used the Nirvana Technique to completely conceal my aura, so she couldn’t detect my presence,” Wei Feng said calmly.
"Really?" Jiang Gu turned to look at him. "Do you still have the Mirror Flower Scroll?"
"I was struck by lightning at the time, and the Mirror Flower Scroll was also destroyed. I originally wanted to use this opportunity to investigate the Seeking Green race," Wei Feng said with a smile. "Master, why did you suddenly ask about these things?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that the blood talisman looked familiar during the day," Jiang Gu said.
"That blood talisman—" Wei Feng's words trailed off, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, "What blood talisman?"
Jiang Gu gave him a cryptic look and continued walking.
"Brother Wei, why are you stopping?" Feng Wuyou pulled Chanlin past him. "There are still many good things ahead. I heard that there are ghost cultivators from the Vine Demon Clan selling pills. Their pills are top-notch, Brother Wei?"
Wei Feng's mind raced with countless guesses as he stared at Feng Wuyou with a sinister gaze: "What did you and Jiang Gu talk about?"
Feng Wuyou was completely baffled: "Huh? I've talked to Brother Jiang about so many things, which one are you referring to?"
"Since you are the Forget-Worry Beast, you should obediently summon your fortune and mind your own business." Wei Feng's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Otherwise, I will shatter your fortune pill."
Feng Wuyou was stunned. Wei Feng turned and left, and then Chan Lin came up to him. "Holy crap, what did this lump of mud say to you? Why does he look so ferocious?"
Feng Wuyou narrowed his eyes and asked Chanlin, "Did I tell Jiang Gu that Wei Feng's luck is extremely bad?"
Chanlin nodded: "I already said that."
"Did I tell Jiang Gu that Wei Feng is a half-immortal and can't ascend at all?" Feng Wuyou asked.
Chanlin nodded again: "I already said that."
Feng Wuyou breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "That scared me to death."
"Stop dawdling, come with me to the vine demon ahead and pick out a couple of pills. Help me find some high-quality ones, and I'll give you one." Chanlin pulled him forward.
Feng Wuyou immediately forgot Wei Feng's threats.
Jiang Gu knew that Wei Feng was hiding something, but he didn't want to push him too hard. After all, Wei Feng was no longer a teenager; he was a mature adult now, and it was fine for him to have his own secrets. Jiang Gu should be an enlightened mentor.
He frowned, trying to convince himself, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Wei Feng chewing something with his cheeks puffed out.
"Hungry?" Jiang Gu asked, somewhat puzzled.
Wei Feng nodded, chewing his food with a crunching sound. Jiang Gu felt the scene was somewhat familiar, then suddenly realized what was happening and his gaze sharpened: "Spit it out."
Wei Feng shook his head and took two steps back, trying desperately to swallow, but it was difficult. Seeing this, Jiang Gu immediately made a move, but Wei Feng nimbly dodged his hand and leaped onto the red silk banner, causing a commotion in the street.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Gu had exchanged dozens of blows with him, forcing him to the rooftop and decisively cutting off all his escape routes. When Wei Feng saw this, he tried to turn into mist, but Jiang Gu grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back, causing him to stagger half a step in pain. Then, Jiang Gu stepped on his knees and made him kneel on the rooftop.
Jiang Gu grabbed his chin and shoved it hard against his throat, forcing Wei Feng to tilt his head back and open his mouth. Jiang Gu pulled out a barely alive little primordial spirit from his mouth. Half of its body had already been chewed up and swallowed, while the other half, covered in Wei Feng's highly corrosive saliva, curled up in Jiang Gu's palm, trembling and too weak to even cry.
"Tsk." Wei Feng licked his sharp canines, unconvinced.
Jiang Gu nearly kicked him off the roof.
He's mature my ass!
