Chapter 37
"Mr. Tang?"
"Tang An!!"
"What's going on... are you possessed? Wake up!"
The chaotic shouts were blurred as if through a layer of water curtain.
Consciousness was pulled back into the body in an instant.
Gu An suddenly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a completely unfamiliar courtyard.
Next to the steaming copper pot, three faces with different expressions were staring at him.
He raised his hand almost instinctively, slightly spreading his five fingers, subconsciously trying to mobilize his spiritual power to protect his body.
"Huh... come back to your senses, come back to your senses!!" A boy of about sixteen or seventeen suddenly grabbed his shoulders and shook him with considerable force.
Gu An's gaze passed over the boy's anxious face, but met another pair of gazes.
He was a man with some suspicious red oil sauce on the corner of his mouth, leaning lazily on the back of a chair, but his eyes were as clear as a newborn baby, bottomless and calm.
Gu An's heart trembled, alarm bells rang, and he immediately began to assess the other party's level of cultivation.
"...What happened to you just now?"
At least the conclusion of Yuanying Great Perfection was about to emerge from his mind when a familiar male voice attracted Gu An's attention.
"Tang An?"
Gu An looked over in the direction of the voice and saw a face that looked exactly like Shen Qi's, except that the expression on his face showed a worry that the other person had never had for him before.
"Why are you here?" Gu An's voice contained a hint of subtle surprise.
He clearly remembered that the last time Chen Qi tried to escape, he and Su Chengyue jointly suppressed him in the forbidden area in the back mountain and set up many restrictions.
Since then, Shen Qi has never appeared in front of him again, as if he had accepted his fate, and he either sleeps or strolls around in silence all day long.
How could he possibly break through the restrictions and appear here? And with such an expression?
Shen Qi was confused by his question: "I have been here all the time?"
Gu An frowned, and was about to ask further questions when the man with sauce on the corner of his mouth suddenly spoke. His voice changed from his previous lazy tone to an unprecedented solemnity: "Shen Qi, stay away from him."
He even picked up the long-handled colander used to scoop meat from the pot, like holding some kind of magical weapon, with the sharp tip of the spoon pointing directly at Gu An's eyebrows, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
"You're not Tang An. Tell me, who are you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the courtyard froze instantly.
Bu Suanzi gasped and rushed behind He Miao, only sticking out half of his head, his face full of horror.
Shen Qi also subconsciously took a step back and looked at the other party in surprise and doubt: "Where is Tang An? What did you do to him?"
"Tang An..."
Gu An chewed the name softly, and instantly recalled the frail young man who had frequently appeared in the depths of his consciousness during his recent meditation, and who was like his reflection in a mirror.
He lowered his eyelashes slightly to hide the thoughts surging in his eyes. After a moment, the corners of his lips slowly raised up in a cold arc.
"So that's how it is."
With this whisper, the clear and gentle temperament that originally belonged to Tang An suddenly disappeared. The moment Gu An raised his eyes, the cold and murderous aura that belonged only to the Ninth Heaven Immortal King who practiced the ruthless way came over him.
He casually pinched the unfamiliar hand, his knuckles making a slight crackling sound, his tone filled with undisguised disgust: "This body is frail and devoid of spiritual energy. Even if this ant-like body survives, it won't last more than a hundred years."
This condescending and cold tone made Shen Qi subconsciously look at the master and apprentice: "It seems like they are acquaintances."
Bu Suanzi trembled as he pulled out his phone. The screen displayed 110: "Only the police can save us now."
He Miao glared at his disappointing disciple: "Don't you really believe in me?"
Bu Suanzi nodded and said, "Ever since you lost me 53 times when I was a child, I have given up hope on you."
He Miao: “…”
Gu An looked at the three people in front of him who were huddled together and whispering, completely ignoring his presence, and a feeling of being offended instantly rushed into his heart.
He walked in front of Shen Qi with an expressionless face: "Explain it to me."
After Shen Qi guessed the identity of the person, he felt rather embarrassed: "Gu An? Is it really you? Why did you come here too?"
Gu An did not answer, but looked down at Shen Qi with his emotionless eyes.
Although he was half a head shorter than the other person at the moment.
Shen Qi covered his face with his hands in pain. For the first time, he experienced what it meant to have a head as big as a bucket.
At the same time, in another time and space.
Tang An, whose body was shaky, was hit by a powerful big blow and staggered, almost spinning 360 degrees on the spot.
The burning pain in my cheeks instantly dispelled all dizziness.
"My Lord, please respect yourself." Chi Ying said with disdain. He extended a finger and placed it precisely against the man's forehead as he approached. His tone was cold and distant. "I am a married man. My husband is very jealous. If he knew that I had been flirting with another man during my absence... I'm afraid my hard-earned consort rights would be gone."
Tang An, who was dizzy but unable to faint, could only see stars: "..."
You are out now, you bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tang An was so angry that he bit the extremely rude finger without thinking.
Chi Ying cried out in pain, his brows furrowed.
He was already annoyed when he ran into Gu An, and now seeing that not only did the other party fail in his attempt to throw himself into his arms, but also bit his fingers like a mad dog, his last bit of patience was completely exhausted.
He grabbed Gu An's long hair with his backhand and pulled it back hard.
"Ugh——" The severe pain from his scalp made Tang An completely awake in an instant.
Chi Ying said mercilessly: "If you are sick, go get treatment, don't act crazy here."
Tang An also got angry, raised both hands, and scratched the man's face: "Chi Ying, let me go!!!"
Chi Ying's movements suddenly froze, and the grip on her hair loosened a little. She stared at the person in front of her in disbelief, "Say that again?!"
Tang An's eyes turned red with anger, and he shouted without hesitation: "I said I'm your wife!!!"
This extremely modern word exploded in Chi Ying's mind like thunder.
He suddenly let go of his hand as if he was scalded, widened his eyes, and carefully scanned the face of Gu An in front of him inch by inch, then looked down at his hands that were holding his hair, and his voice was trembling with almost broken caution and disbelief.
"Tang An?!"
Tang An's eyes were red, and he stared at him with all his strength: "Otherwise!! Who else would call you a bitch like that!!!"
Chi Yingxiang was stunned by the huge surprise, and became flustered the next second.
He hurriedly pulled Tang An up from the ground, clumsily and anxiously brushing off the dust and grass debris on his moon-white robe, and spoke incoherently: "You, you, you... why are you here??? It's impossible... Am I hallucinating because I missed you so much??? How could you..."
Chi Ying looked Tang An up and down: "Why are you here dressed like this?!"
Tang An raised her face and let him do what he wanted. The grievances and fears that had been pent up for two days suddenly surged up her throat, and her voice became hoarse and choked with sobs. "Why can't I come? Is it illegal for me to come and look for my missing husband?"
Chi Ying held Tang An's cheeks with trembling hands. His fingertips were cold, but his eyes were surprisingly hot. "Is it really you, baby? Isn't it that old bastard Gu An who's playing some kind of magic trick on me again?"
Frightened, Chi Ying asked tentatively, "When was New China founded?"
Tang An was annoyed: "October 1, 1949!"
Ji Young: "The first line of the national anthem?"
Tang An: "Rise up, those who refuse to be slaves."
Chi Ying quickly asked: "A landmark event in the upheaval in Eastern Europe?"
Tang An replied immediately: "The Soviet Union collapsed!"
Chi Ying lowered his voice, full of infinite anticipation: "Then... do you miss Chi Ying?"
Tang An blurted out: "I want to..."
As soon as he said this, he realized that he had been tricked. He immediately became angry and glared at Chi Ying fiercely.
However, this familiar anger completely shattered Chi Ying's last bit of doubt.
The handsome face that was originally full of vigilance and alienation suddenly melted like a glacier, and a bright smile that Tang An was very familiar with bloomed.
“…Wife!!!”
Chi Ying was so overjoyed at having regained what he had lost that he could no longer contain himself. He stretched out his arms and hugged Tang An tightly.
The hug was so strong that it seemed to penetrate into the bones and blood, and it almost made Tang An unable to breathe.
The tiny snowflakes in the sky fell silently, gently covering the two people hugging each other. From a distance, it looked like they were covered with a hazy milky white halo.
The surroundings were completely silent, with only the faint sound of wind and snow passing through the treetops, and the violent beating of their heartbeats in their chests, which eventually gradually overlapped.
Bang, bang...
Chi Ying buried her face deeply in Tang An's neck, which had a faint cold fragrance, and breathed greedily. Her voice was muffled, with a heavy nasal tone and unspeakable longing.
"I miss you so much……"
"I miss you so much..."
"Every day, every night, I dream of you..."
Tang An also hugged him back tightly, his hands tightly grasping the clothes on his back, as if grasping a lost treasure, buried his face in his strong shoulders, and said "hmm" softly.
"Me too." His voice was choked with sobs. "You disappeared for the past two days, and I almost went crazy."
Upon hearing this, Chi Ying's body suddenly stiffened.
Tang An also noticed something strange.
The two of them let go of each other almost at the same time, put some distance between them, and looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and confusion.
Tang An frowned. "A year? You said you've been here for more than a year?"
Chi Ying also looked incredulous: "Only two days? You mean it's only been two days since I fainted?"
The two fell silent again, the impact of the information gap made them both a little confused.
Chi Ying's expression instantly fell, filled with an indescribable grief and indignation. "...I've been living in dire straits this past year, and I only spent a weekend with you?"
Tang An also calmed down and reached out to pat Chi Ying on the head. "I understand. As the ancients said, 'A day in the cave is a thousand years in the outside world.' It's just that the speed of time is different. The ratio of 1:178 is still reasonable."
He forced himself to suppress the shock in his heart.
"Let's put the timing aside. The most important thing now is that we quickly reconcile the information between the two sides."
Chi Ying was still immersed in the tragic feeling of "I've suffered in vain this year" and said listlessly, "Here? What else can I do? I fainted and woke up to find that I had traveled through time, to a world of immortal cultivation... The most outrageous thing is that there's a guy here who looks exactly like you, named Gu An. Oh, and there's also someone who looks exactly like your Bai Yueguang, Su, named Su Chengyue. These two little bastards are always trying to team up to mess with me. It's simply..."
"Master?"
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Su Chengyue's clear voice, with just the right amount of respect, sounded not far away.
He had come to deliver medicine on his master's orders, but from afar he saw his aloof and detached master and the imprisoned evil dragon, Chen Qi, hugging each other tightly in the snow, oblivious to the surroundings?!
Su Chengyue's expression changed several times in an instant. The white jade medicine bottle in his hand made a crack with a click.
Tang An, who had just finished listening to Chi Ying's accusation, couldn't help but blurt out "Fuck you!" after seeing the man's face clearly.
They are exactly the same! Even their temperament is exactly the same!!!
Su Chengyue quickly stepped forward and bowed to Tang An, her posture impeccable. "Master, I have brought the elixir you ordered."
He turned his gaze towards Chi Ying, questioning and cold, "I just want to ask, Master, why is this guy here? And..."
Su Chengyue didn't finish what she was saying, but her eyes were enough to tell it all.
“Puff.”
Tang An looked at the face that looked very similar to Su He, listened to his flowery words, and combined with Chi Ying's previous complaints, he couldn't help but almost laughed out loud, and quickly covered his mouth with his hands.
Chi Ying, who was standing nearby, quickly leaned over to Tang An's ear and warned him in a whisper, "Grandfather! Hold it in! This kid isn't the pretentious Su He you know! In terms of heart, cruelty, insidiousness, and cunningness, he's number one and no one dares to rank second!!"
Su Chengyue, who was forced to watch the two people's little movements, said: "..."
I'm not deaf.
Seeing Chi Ying's troubled expression, Tang An took a few deep breaths, forced back his smile, lowered his hand, tried to put on a straight face, and imitated the tone of the ancient costume dramas in his memory, waving his hand in a pretentious and majestic manner: "I know, I know. The medicine has been delivered. You may leave."
However, Su Chengyue remained motionless, stubbornly standing where she was, her eyes fixed on Tang An. Her tone was filled with concern and subtle inquiry, "Master, you specifically sent me a message asking me to fetch this Mind-Concentrating Pill to regulate your internal energy, but are you feeling unwell? I'm truly worried."
Tang An subconsciously looked at Chi Ying.
What should I do? How should I answer?
Chi Ying nodded at him and signaled with her eyes.
You can make it up yourself.
Tang An had no choice but to bite the bullet. He cleared his throat and said in a high-handed manner, "This is my personal matter, and it's none of your business. Now that the pills have been delivered, please withdraw immediately. I have something important to discuss with Chi... Chen Qi."
At the same time, the hand hidden in the wide sleeves secretly poked Chi Ying's waist.
Is it okay to say this?
Chi Ying grabbed his rebellious fingers with her backhand and squeezed them gently.
Stop making trouble.
Su Chengyue's gaze swept between the two of them vaguely, and finally stopped on Tang An's face, which was still cold but seemed a little different.
He was silent for a few breaths before lowering his eyes, hiding the emotions surging in them. He bowed and said, "...Yes, disciple obeys."
Su Chengyue paused and added, "I am waiting for your orders at Lanyue Pavilion. If Master feels unwell, please summon me. I hope Master will take care of his body."
After saying this, he looked at Chi Ying deeply, his eyes were icy cold, then he turned around, his figure flashed a few times, and disappeared in the vast snow curtain like a ghost, so fast that only a few afterimages were left.
"Wow……"
Tang An was stunned. The effect of shrinking the earth into an inch, which required expensive special effects in TV dramas, was now displayed so realistically before his eyes.
He couldn't help but grab Chi Ying's sleeve and exclaimed: "This is quite amazing!"
Hearing this, Chi Ying immediately became unhappy and raised his chin: "I'm better! Watch carefully!"
Before he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared around him, and Chi Ying's figure instantly disappeared from the spot. In her place, there appeared a giant dragon with a nimble figure and scales shining with silver luster.
The giant dragon let out a low roar, and its huge body flexibly rose into the air, flying up and down in the flying snow, circling around Tang Yan, and the swing of its tail brought up the biting wind and snow.
Tang An tilted his head back, completely stunned.
The dragon finished showing off, and with a flash of golden light, Chi Ying regained her human form and landed steadily in front of him, with an undisguised smug look on her face, her tail almost raised to the sky. "How is it? How is it? Is he handsome? Is your husband cool enough?"
Tang An: “…”
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chi Ying took another step closer, almost touching his ear, her warm breath spraying on the sensitive earlobe, and said in an ambiguous voice that only the two of them could hear: "And the dragon has two..."
Two...
What root????
Tang An's head buzzed and his cheeks instantly turned red like overcooked shrimp.
He turned around abruptly, covering his burning ears with his hands, and said angrily, "Chi Ying! Is this the time to discuss this kind of thing?!"
Chi Ying kept coming up to him, her big hands wrapped around his waist very naturally, and her fingertips gently scratched the sensitive side of his waist.
"Wife..." His voice was filled with deep grievance, his lips almost touching Tang An's earlobe, "I haven't had sex for a whole year. Do you know how I spent this year? The biggest exercise in bed every day was thinking about you doing it yourself..."
Chi Ying's hand slid down Tang An's waistline restlessly, and through the clothes, it stopped precisely at an extremely sensitive area, and gently stroked it with full of suggestive meaning.
"Don't you miss me?" he said in a hoarse voice.
Tang An felt weak all over from his touch, a familiar heat rising from his lower abdomen, his voice so dry that he could hardly speak: "I..."
I want it! Who wouldn’t want two? I want it like crazy!!!!
But his remaining rationality made him swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He grabbed Chi Ying's rebellious hand, his face flushed, but his momentum weakened by eight points as he accused: "You, your mind is full of this dirty garbage all day long, right?!"
He took a deep breath, trying to convince the other party with reason, and also to convince himself: "Besides, is this body yours now? It belongs to Shen Qi! And me..."
Tang An walked to the lakeside with thin ice, looked down at the face reflected in the water, and spoke with a complicated tone.
"The body I'm using now isn't my own, and we can't do anything with it."
"What if..."
Chi Ying walked behind him, the teasing and desire in her voice faded, and was stained with a layer of gloom that Tang An had never heard before.
"We can't go back?"
His hand gently lifted a strand of Tang An's inky long hair that fell behind her, and subconsciously put it to the tip of his nose to sniff it.
A clear, cool and somewhat alienated orchid fragrance instantly penetrated the nose.
This is the taste of Gu An.
Chi Ying's brows instantly tightened in disgust, as if he smelled something extremely disgusting. He immediately shook off the strand of hair, his tone full of undisguised disgust.
"Baby, can you take a shower later? Wash off this pickled smell."
Tang An: “???”
Chi Ying rested her chin on his shoulder again and said stubbornly, "I still prefer the smell of you."
Tang An: “…”
baffling.
