☆ Chapter 62, Singles' Day (Second Update)
Tianlangjun and Zhuzhilang were frozen from their ankles to their heads, two ice sculptures surrounded by black mist standing in the center. Luo Binghe stepped into the hall, wisps of icy white mist climbing up his black boots, only to be mercilessly crushed. He slapped each of the two ice sculptures, and winding cracks appeared on the solid ice.
Shen Qingqiu leaned against the stone wall and said, "It's no use. The crystal ice that has already formed is not so easy to break, and you can't hurt them inside by attacking like this. It's better to seize the opportunity and escape from the Holy Tomb while they are sealed off."
Luo Binghe suddenly turned around and walked towards him again.
Upon seeing Luo Binghe, Shen Qingqiu was both surprised and delighted. She had originally planned to go back to the stone coffin to pick him up, but unexpectedly, he woke up on his own. Just as she was about to ask him how he was feeling, she found that Luo Binghe seemed to be in a very bad mood.
Luo Binghe said sternly, "Didn't I tell you not to go with them?!"
This sentence was almost shouted. Shen Qingqiu was already dizzy, and the shout made his eardrums ache. It was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on his head. He was stunned for a moment, and then a nameless anger suddenly rose up in his heart.
He said curtly, "Are you alright?"
Luo Binghe's tone remained unfriendly: "What's so good about it?"
Judging from his strong voice, he's probably recovered.
Since that's the case, it can be considered as repaying Luo Binghe's favor in some way. At least, he's not completely a scumbag.
Shen Qingqiu nodded: "Alright then." He turned around and walked away haphazardly in one direction.
Actually, he didn't know where to go either. To get out of the Holy Tomb, he needed the Heart Demon Sword and Luo Binghe; both were indispensable. Without either one, he would just be wandering aimlessly inside the Holy Tomb. However, after dragging the person along for so long, only to be yelled at in the end, there was no point in staying there sullenly.
He hadn't walked far when a dying candle suddenly lit up beside the stone path, its dim light illuminating half of his profile.
Luo Binghe suddenly reached out and grabbed him: "...You're crying?"
Shen Qingqiu was taken aback upon hearing this.
Did he cry?
Did he cry?
How could he possibly be crying?!
Shen Qingqiu raised her left hand to wipe her cheek. This intact hand had been tightly holding Luo Binghe, and now it finally had a chance to do something else. Touching her face, she thought, "Damn, it's really wet! How disgusting!"
Shen Qingqiu suddenly remembered that these were tears that came from the pain when she pulled off the love threads that had grown from the broken skin on her leg.
It looks terrible.
The anger in Luo Binghe's voice had vanished without a trace. He said blankly, "So, it wasn't a lie that I vaguely heard Master crying back then?"
Shen Qingqiu was a little embarrassed and angry: "Why are you crying? Don't you know!" After saying that, he turned and left, and Luo Binghe quickly hugged him from behind.
Unfortunately, he happened to grab Shen Qingqiu's right arm, where the threads of love were deeply embedded. Shen Qingqiu suppressed a scream but still let out a muffled groan. Luo Binghe immediately let go, holding only his left hand, and examined him by the candlelight.
The more they examined him, the more horrified they became. There was hardly a recognizable spot on Shen Qingqiu's body; wounds and blood were a gruesome mess, truly a pitiful sight.
Luo Binghe remembered that Shen Qingqiu was completely unharmed before he fell unconscious. His voice trembled: "All of this... was for... me?"
Shen Qingqiu was about to vomit blood. What else could he do?
He couldn't bring himself to say such things, as if it were a grand display of gratitude, so he simply uttered two words: "Let go!"
Luo Binghe's expression changed instantly, and he softened: "I won't let go. Master, please don't be angry, I was wrong."
He said this many times!
Shen Qingqiu waved his hand away. Hurry up and get out of here! The blind corpses are surrounding us; what kind of appearance is this, blocking our way?
Luo Binghe was sent away, but he clung to her like a piece of chewing gum, impossible to shake off: "Why don't you hit me, Master? How about another beating to vent your anger?"
Someone come quick! There's a masochist here! Someone, come and lock him up!
He walked swiftly, and the two walked the entire way, with Luo Binghe clinging to him the whole time. Shen Qingqiu was already familiar with Luo Binghe's tactics, knowing that he only responded to gentle persuasion and not force. After much pleading, Shen Qingqiu said helplessly, "...You're always like this, crying and apologizing, stubbornly refusing to change. What's the use?"
Luo Binghe almost sobbed as she spoke to him: "I'll change, okay? Please don't abandon me, Master."
Seeing his pathetic state, if it weren't for the bump on the back of his head that Shen Qingqiu had bumped into, she would have loved to slap him on the head a few times. His parenting methods weren't wrong, were they? How did he end up with such a crybaby? The troublemaker Luo Binghe likes to cling to his master's clothes and whine; what kind of image does that have? Who the hell would believe it?!
Even Ning Yingying doesn't cry as much as him!
Shen Qingqiu couldn't take it anymore: "Who abandoned you? Huh?"
Luo Binghe said, "When I fainted, I was still somewhat conscious, desperately trying to wake up. But when I finally woke up, I found myself lying in a coffin, and my master was nowhere to be found. I was so angry that I thought I had been abandoned again, that my master would rather go with them than care about me..."
Waking up to find oneself abandoned all alone in a coffin was certainly not a pleasant experience. Shen Qingqiu coughed guiltily.
Luo Binghe continued, "I didn't mean to just now. I don't know why, even though I didn't want to do that, didn't want to say those kinds of things, I just couldn't control myself in front of Master. I know it's ugly and shameful, but Master, you never abandoned me, you've always been protecting me. This isn't a dream, I'm so happy..."
Who is more embarrassing and shameful?
It's not a pretty sight to see two grown men huddled together, wiping their noses and tears, you know?
Perhaps because he was too happy, he couldn't utter any more elaborate words, only repeating the simple words "happy" and "joyful." Shen Qingqiu's face twitched twice, he rubbed his temples, and let out a deep sigh.
Forget it. This isn't the first time. Even the Nightmare said that this kid is just like that—cool, arrogant, and incredibly cunning in front of you, but behind your back he might be crying and twisting his handkerchief. Why bother arguing with him?
Then again, I'm pretty bored myself. There was nothing to be angry about in such a small misunderstanding, yet I got angry for no reason. I'm no different from that unlucky kid from SJB.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "So you're really alright now, right?"
Luo Binghe nodded immediately: "It's alright."
"You had such a high fever just now, but you're perfectly fine now?" Shen Qingqiu was very skeptical and placed her hand on his forehead. Sure enough, it was cool and smooth. Shen Qingqiu tried to pull her hand away, but Luo Binghe's hand covered it, pressing it down to prevent her from pulling away. His eyes, clasped together, were bright and sparkling.
That expression was so familiar. Wasn't that the same expression of the model sheep who used to bleat and graze with him every day on Qingjing Peak?
Shen Qingqiu felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze, but she couldn't forcefully pull away.
Doing this when others are having a great time is like slapping them in the face.
He said, "Are you really alright? Not dizzy at all? Your spiritual energy and demonic energy aren't malfunctioning?"
Luo Binghe said, "It's very effective. Extremely effective. More effective than ever before."
As they spoke, they arrived at a tomb chamber due east. Luo Binghe drew his sword and slashed diagonally, carving a dark spatial rift in the screen wall.
His broken arm miraculously grew back, his leg was no longer lame, the blood on his face was wiped clean, and the unruly inner demon sword was also subdued.
Shen Qingqiu didn't want to say anything more. He made a "let's go, let's go" gesture and was the first to pass through the rift.
The light outside the mausoleum was bright, and Luo Binghe reached out to help Shen Qingqiu.
Come to think of it, it's been a long time since they've had such a normal interaction.
Shen Qingqiu sighed inwardly, then couldn't help but glance at Luo Binghe. Seeing how refreshed he looked, it seemed he truly was "very clever."
He was so worried about messing with the male lead again, he risked his life to protect him, but the guy was perfectly fine, fast asleep – probably just recharging his cheat code! [Manual goodbye]
Just as he was feeling down, Luo Binghe suddenly said, "However, apart from hearing Master crying..."
Shen Qingqiu asked, "Who is crying?"
Luo Binghe immediately changed his tune: "Besides hearing someone crying, I also had a strange feeling."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqiu became a little worried again. So there really are aftereffects? He pondered, "What do you feel?"
Luo Binghe shook his head: "...I can't explain it."
Shen Qingqiu: "Does it hurt?"
Luo Binghe said, "It doesn't hurt, it's very..."
Before he could finish speaking, a look of confusion crossed his face as he looked down.
Shen Qingqiu's face immediately fell. This time, she really wanted to slap him back to the Holy Mausoleum.
Hello Tianzhu, goodbye Tianzhu!
The topic didn't last and ended there.
Tianlangjun's voice, like a persistent ghost, followed: "Peak Master Shen, why are you in such a hurry to leave? You two have practically turned our clan's sacred land upside down. If you just leave like this, it wouldn't be right if you didn't leave something behind, would it?"
He didn't utter a single word, yet his voice drew ever closer. Before long, they were in sight. Shen Qingqiu rolled her eyes, utterly exhausted. However, the fact that the Mobei clan's ice magic, honed over centuries within the tomb, could hold these two until they emerged from the sacred mausoleum was quite commendable.
Luo Binghe was already displeased that he hadn't been able to blast them into dust, but now that they had delivered themselves to him, he was actually pleased. He cracked his knuckles, stared at Zhuzhilang, and said in a gloomy tone, "You actually dared to feed my master blood."
Zhu Zhilang glanced at Shen Qingqiu, his face showing shame. Tianlangjun said, "Don't say that with that expression. Didn't you feed him blood? Otherwise, whose is the other blood gu within Shen Feng's body?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Binghe froze and clenched his fists.
Shen Qingqiu merely raised the hand holding the Xiuya Sword, and Luo Binghe immediately whispered, "Master, there's no need to intervene. I am enough."
They started fighting without warning!
Three black pillars of energy surged and churned into the sky like a storm. As Shen Qingqiu watched the battle from the sidelines, he realized more and more deeply that demons and humans were indeed different races.
The difference in destructive power is enormous!
And indeed, Luo Binghe has leveled up. He really renewed his cheat code! Just over an hour ago he was getting brutally beaten and unable to fight back, but now it seems the protagonist's halo still firmly shines over Luo Binghe!
As they watched the battle, a crimson bone eagle circled overhead, lowering its wings and searching for an opportunity to join the fray. Luo Binghe, fighting two opponents at once, seemed oblivious to the obviously hostile bone eagle. Shen Qingqiu, however, saw it clearly and was about to warn it when the bone eagle suddenly swooped down, swooping down towards Luo Binghe's head.
A sneak attack?
Shen Qingqiu held the Xiuya Sword upside down in his hand, squinted, aimed, and hurled it at the sword.
The snow-white sword blade, like an arrow, pierced through the bone eagle with lightning speed.
Before he could even catch his breath, the bone eagle's body didn't fall; instead, it disintegrated into thousands of droplets and flew towards Shen Qingqiu.
Suddenly, Tianlang Jun stopped fighting, jumped out of the battle, and laughed. Seeing the blood droplets scattering in the air, Luo Binghe's face flashed with panic.
Shen Qingqiu suddenly realized that this bone eagle was actually formed from Tianlang Jun's own blood. He deliberately let the bone eagle ambush Luo Binghe to lure him into shooting it down!
He was drenched in a downpour of blood as soon as he discovered this.
Blood Burst Technique! Blood packs are only 2 cents each, buy one get two free, it's practically free!
Tianlang Jun smiled slightly, raised his hand, and made a loose grasping motion in the air. Shen Qingqiu immediately felt his heart skip a beat, as if he had really been grabbed by a hand and maliciously kneaded.
There was too much blood. Even though I kept my mouth tightly shut, a faint metallic taste still lingered in my mouth. It seems I still got infected.
Shen Qingqiu just chuckled.
Who else drinks the blood of the Heavenly Demon like Red Bull? Who else has drunk three streams of the blood of the Heavenly Demon?
Damn it, I'm done! I'm done, okay?!
Luo Binghe's eyes were red with anxiety, but Tianlang Jun's blood was in Shen Qingqiu's body, so he dared not act rashly for fear that Shen Qingqiu would suddenly activate the Blood Gu. He could only grit his teeth and say, "...Stop!"
Seeing Shen Qingqiu's face turn pale and then red, Zhuzhilang couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, please show mercy..."
Tianlang shrugged: "That depends on what the other kid does."
The three blood gu churned and fought fiercely within Shen Qingqiu's body. Luo Binghe's blood primarily protected Shen Qingqiu's internal organs and meridians, steadily suppressing Zhuzhilang's blood, while also struggling to contend with Tianlangjun's blood. Trying to do three things at once, and fighting two against one, inevitably left him constrained. Ironically, it was Tianlangjun's blood gu that could operate most freely and unrestrainedly, as it was completely without restraint.
He said to Luo Binghe, "Have you thought this through? If things continue like this, who will be the first to give out?"
Luo Binghe's eyes showed increasing anxiety and helplessness, and in the end, he backed down.
He said, "You go first!"
Without giving the younger generation any chance to understand, Tianlang Jun said instead, "You go first."
Luo Binghe immediately replied, "Okay."
Tianlang-jun smiled enigmatically: "As expected..."
He turned to look at Takeshiro: "What should I do? For some reason, seeing them makes me feel extremely uncomfortable."
Zhuzhilang nodded silently.
After many years, people outside the Cangqiong Mountain Sect finally felt the displeasure of the blind dog.
Shen Qingqiu considered himself unlucky, but he didn't expect others to suffer the same fate. He clutched his chest, trying his best to keep his expression unchanged: "Do whatever you want with me. As you said, I should be used to it after drinking it so many times. But if you want Luo Binghe's body, don't even think about it."
Shen Qingqiu hated nothing more than being used as a bargaining chip. If you wanted him to play such a hindrance role, you might as well have him die.
Luo Binghe was both angry and helpless: "Master..."
Shen Qingqiu said, "Shut up."
Tianlang asked in surprise, "Who said I wanted his physical body?"
Shen Qingqiu was speechless.
Tianlangjun said, "He is not as handsome as me, so why should I want his body?"
Who said you're more handsome than him?
Who stamped it?
Who said that? Who said that? Who said that?
"Flying to the Sky" is a novel written by the author himself. Luo Binghe is unparalleled in his ability to travel between heaven and earth, appealing to all ages. He's the number one handsome guy in the book, okay?
Do you dislike Luo Binghe because his bloodline isn't pure?!
Shen Qingqiu's face darkened: "...So what exactly do you want?"
Zhu Zhilang said, "What Your Majesty desires is that sword."
Tianlangjun said, "That's right. The gift I'm giving to the human realm can't be complete without that sword."
Ha, you want the male lead's cheat ability?
Just as Shen Qingqiu's mind was filled with thoughts of "wishful thinking" and "overestimating one's abilities," Luo Binghe raised his hand, and Zhuzhilang also raised his arm, completing the handover in an instant.
Swift and decisive, without any hesitation!
Shen Qingqiu was speechless.
You spendthrift brat! Aa ...
