Chapter 64: A Secret Rendezvous
Shen Qingqiu thought he had misheard: "What did you say?"
Tianlangjun patiently repeated, "I asked Peak Master Shen, have you and Luo Binghe ever practiced dual cultivation?"
Shen Qingqiu's face twitched a few times. Tianlangjun said, "Does Peak Master Shen still not understand what I mean by dual cultivation? It means..."
Shen Qingqiu: "That's enough."
Have you no shame?!
Shen Qingqiu forced herself to remain calm, "Why do you think I cultivated with him?"
Tianlangjun said, "To be honest, I have always longed for the folk culture and customs of the human world."
Shen Qingqiu: "So?"
What does yearning for the customs and culture of the human world have to do with this question?
Tianlang Jun stretched out a finger, shook it twice, and softly hummed a beautiful and gentle tune.
Shen Qingqiu was initially expressionless, but the more Tianlang Jun snorted, the less he could maintain his aloof demeanor.
I! Go! Mud! Coal! Spring! Mountain! Hate!
How come it's already popular in the demon realm?!
Tianlang hummed two whole verses, completely satisfied and still wanting more: "Only the human realm, a land of outstanding people and abundant resources, could give birth to such a masterpiece. It's truly wonderful, especially the way it leaves a hook at the end, making it impossible to put down and leaving one full of anticipation for the next installment."
Oh, the grasslands are here, and it's even a serialized story?!
Shen Qingqiu: "...Wait. When we first met at the Holy Mausoleum, you said 'I've heard so much about you.'"
Could it be this "long-time admirer"? The "long-time admirer" in the little yellow song?
Tianlang Jun said happily, "That's exactly what 'I've long admired you' means."
System: [Exchange interests with the BOSS, making the villain's image more three-dimensional, and increasing his cool factor by 150!]
What a ridiculous hobby!
The two were staring at each other when the dark-skinned demon girl who had cared for Shen Qingqiu until he woke up came running down below, as joyful as an antelope. Shen Qingqiu looked closely and realized she really did have antelope legs. The girl hopped and skipped, looking up and asking loudly, "Your Majesty! Isn't our new place wonderful?"
Tianlang Jun smiled and waved his hand back at her: "That would be excellent, of course."
The girl, with an innocent air, asked, "Is there a lot of water?"
Tianlangjun said, "Rivers and mountains are found all over the world."
The girl cheered and leaped into the distance. Shen Qingqiu watched her retreating figure, something seemed amiss: "Where are you going to move them?"
Tianlangjun said leisurely, "Peak Master Shen has already made up his mind, so why ask a question he already knows the answer to?"
Rivers and mountains are not typical terrain for demons.
"A good place" undoubtedly refers to the human realm. Shen Qingqiu said, "Judging by the numbers, more than 20% of the demons in the Southern Frontier are probably gathered in this group. Do you think the cultivation world wouldn't notice such a massive force crossing the border?"
Tianlangjun said, "Who said we have to cross the border?" He straightened up and laughed, "What do you think I want this sword for?"
Shen Qingqiu felt that he couldn't guess the male lead's thoughts, nor could he guess the male lead's father's thoughts, so he simply stopped guessing and asked directly this time: "You want to use the Heart Demon Sword to cut a rift between the two realms?"
Tianlangjun added, "To be precise, it's about merging the two realms."
Merge the human realm and the demon realm!
Isn't that just like crushing and kneading another dimension into a ball?
Shen Qingqiu did not find this idea absurd. On the contrary, he was certain that as long as he had the Heart Demon Sword, he could definitely accomplish this seemingly ridiculous idea.
Because this is based on the original text!
The merging of the two realms was a heinous act that Luo Binghe did in order to completely unify the Demon Realm and the Cultivation Realm near the end of the original novel.
Shen Qingqiu had always thought that the character "Luo Binghe" from the original novel was the one he was most familiar with. But now, thinking back, he felt that the character was very distant from him and quite unfamiliar.
That "Luo Binghe" was completely unconcerned about the devastating consequences of doing so. His reasoning was that the separation of the two realms was detrimental to governance, and the resources were unbalanced. His demon wives and underlings were constantly arguing and bothering him, so he simply merged them for easier management.
Shen Qingqiu said in a deep voice, "...This is the 'gift' you want to give? Isn't that a bit too malicious?"
Tianlang-jun stroked his chin and said gently, "I really have no ill intentions. I love the human realm, and it has always been my wish to facilitate closer exchanges between the two races."
Shen Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and said, "Is Tianlang Jun really not aware of this, or is he simply indifferent? Demons can adapt to the human realm, but how many non-cultivators among the human race can adapt to the demon realm? In other words," he selectively emphasized his words, "even if you 'like' people, can you guarantee that all demons will like you? The two realms have been separated since ancient times, and there have been countless conflicts even in this state. If we were to merge rashly, there would be no hope of a peaceful day."
Tianlangjun said helplessly, "Chenfeng Master is indeed someone from one of the four major sects; they all have the same way. I didn't want to rush things either. But now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to go all in and merge them first. We'll take it slow; things will eventually work out."
Even the most serious matters are described as "hasty" in his words. The logic behind the last sentence is essentially the same as the act of [illegible]: if you keep doing it, the target will eventually cooperate; just do it first and worry about the consequences later.
Shen Qingqiu couldn't help but ask, "You and Su Xiyan... could it be that it's all just for 'close exchanges between the two races'?"
Tianlang sighed softly, "Xiyan. Of course she was wonderful. I loved her." He then changed the subject, spreading his hands, "But she's dead."
Because you're dead, you have no regrets?
Ultimately, the demons' affection is far too cold-hearted.
He treated the women he loved with indifferently, so naturally he wouldn't treat his own son much better. Shen Qingqiu remained silent for a moment, then asked, "What exactly is your opinion of Luo Binghe?"
Although Luo Binghe never mentioned it, Shen Qingqiu knew that he still harbored illusions about his biological parents.
He only knew that he was born to a woman from a prestigious family and a nobleman with the bloodline of a celestial demon, but he didn't know who those two people were or what their names were.
He had always secretly imagined how good his parents would be to him if they were still alive. But if Luo Binghe knew that his biological father was like this, those imaginings would truly be nothing but laughable fantasies.
Tianlangjun glanced at him: "Feeling sorry for him?"
Shen Qingqiu snorted.
It's true that all bosses are delusional; it's just the way things are. But Tianlang-jun's situation is a bit special. He used to be a delusional version of naive idealism, always believing he could save the world and bring love and peace to both races. After being imprisoned under Bailu Mountain for so many years, he now harbors a delusional tinge tinged with unconscious malice.
We must tell Luo Binghe about Tianlang Jun's intentions so that he can find a way to send a message to the Cangqiong Mountain Sect and at least make preparations in advance.
As night fell, the large contingent, billowing with smoke and dust, stopped and set up camp on a vast plain.
Only a small number of humanoid demons actually need to set up camp. Beast-type demons can sleep anywhere under the open sky—in pits, treetops, or on the grass.
Shen Qingqiu's resting place was a comfortable and spacious white tent, simple on the outside but fully equipped inside. Zhuzhilang personally arranged everything before escorting him inside.
As soon as the demon girl who had followed him left, Shen Qingqiu couldn't wait to lie down on the bed, close his eyes, and fall asleep, waiting for Luo Binghe to come into his dreams.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Qingqiu suddenly felt the moonlight sway. When she opened her eyes, she saw Luo Binghe kneeling in front of the bed.
Shen Qingqiu had only said half a sentence, "Luo Binghe, listen to me..." when Luo Binghe pounced on him.
Shen Qingqiu was caught off guard and pinned back onto the bed, his mouth completely sealed shut by a warm, soft kiss. He couldn't even utter a sound, only able to glare helplessly, his face flushed with anger. Luo Binghe, oblivious to the danger, kissed him more and more intensely, until it turned into a ferocious, biting kiss.
Shen Qingqiu finally caught his breath and yelled, "Luo Binghe! ...What's wrong with you!"
He thought he was cursing, but when he uttered those few words, he was out of breath and it sounded more like a feigned anger. Luo Binghe said resentfully, "Continue with the part we didn't finish last time."
He dares to bring up the last time? He must have been out of his mind to not kick Luo Binghe away! Last time, Shen Qingqiu woke up just as their lips were about to touch. Mentioning it now makes his face burn. Luckily, the candle was out, or it would have been quite a sight.
Stop.
Shen Qingqiu suddenly realized that the scene around him was not the bamboo hut on Qingjing Peak.
So you're saying... I'm not dreaming?!
He sat up abruptly. Sure enough, he could still see the torchlight of the patrolling demon soldiers outside the tent, and he could also hear the howls of wolves, the bellows of cattle, and deliberately hushed reprimands.
Luo Binghe was standing in his tent, not in the dream realm; he himself had come.
That's incredibly audacious!
Shen Qingqiu was about to vomit blood: "Are you crazy! You come here all by yourself, and at least 20% of the demons in Southern Xinjiang are in this group, plus two demons of the same bloodline. If you're discovered, you're asking for death!"
While patting his back, Luo Binghe said, "Master, I can't openly snatch him away. I'm afraid he'll activate the blood gu in your body. But you can't just make me sit and wait. Master, please don't scold me. I really can't hold back anymore!"
Now that he no longer had the Demon Sword to use as a portal, crossing the Northern Frontier was at least a thousand miles away. Shen Qingqiu wanted to slap him on the back of the head, but considering the long journey, she had to think twice before doing so. Seeing him seize the opportunity and put one leg on the edge of the bed, she immediately adopted the authority of a master and sternly warned, "Have you forgotten that I haven't promised you anything yet?"
Luo Binghe argued confidently: "I said last time, Master, you either kill me or call out here, and those ugly monsters outside will swarm in. Since you didn't call out, it means you agreed to my request."
This shamelessness made Shen Qingqiu laugh in anger. Trying to play a choice game—either kill someone or get fucked—only an idiot would fall for it. Just choose the one that comes with it!
This must be corrected; this guy isn't just audacious, he's downright lustful.
Shen Qingqiu didn't want to kick him, afraid of making too much noise, so she kept pushing his head away, trying her best to maintain a serious expression: "When you came in, did you disturb anyone?"
The male protagonist moves freely amidst thousands of troops, is there any doubt about that? Luo Binghe said, "How could that be? If I want to come in, no one will see me. But there is one thing I need to worry about..."
Before he could explain what it was about, a clear cough came from outside the tent.
Zhu Zhilang's voice rang out: "Master Chen? Are you resting?"
Upon hearing the voice, Luo Binghe's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he coldly lunged forward. Shen Qingqiu quickly stopped him, her eyes stern, signaling him not to act rashly.
Luo Binghe was glared at by him, and for some reason, his cheeks flushed slightly. Shen Qingqiu didn't have time to complain about his masochistic tendencies. There were demonic beast soldiers patrolling outside the tent, and nowhere to hide inside. He lifted the blanket, and Luo Binghe understood, readily squeezing in.
Outside, Zhuzhilang muttered to himself, "Are they resting so early?"
Yes, so hurry up!
After a moment of silence outside the tent, Shen Qingqiu thought he had left and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Zhuzhilang said, "Then... I'll have to disturb you."
Why do you always come in, whether you're asleep or not?!
Then what's the point of asking?!
Luo Binghe poked his head out, both angry and suspicious: "What is this snake trying to do by coming in while Master is sleeping?"
Just stay out of the way, you brat!
Shen Qingqiu pressed his head back down, jumped off the bed, and shouted, "Don't come in!"
Zhu Zhilang indeed didn't come in, and asked in confusion, "So you didn't rest? Why didn't Master Chen answer just now?"
Shen Qingqiu said, "I'm sleepy and don't want to answer. Xizhilang, you can leave now."
Bamboo Branch was stunned: "Didn't we agree on this during the day?"
Die, die, die. It was indeed agreed during the day that Takeshiro would come tonight to remove the remaining threads of his affection!
Luo Binghe reappeared and quietly questioned, "What did we agree on?"
No sooner had Shen Qingqiu piled the second quilt on him and lowered the bed curtains than Zhuzhilang entered the tent.
He held the small golden censer in his hand, glancing sideways, and said, "I apologize for this late-night intrusion, Master Shen. However, if the lingering feelings are not completely eradicated, I fear there may be more trouble."
If he came in and then kicked him out, it would arouse too much suspicion. In any case, for some inexplicable reason, Takeshiro dared not look at him too much and could only try to be as careful as possible.
Shen Qingqiu stood in front of the bed curtains and smiled, "Understood, thank you for your trouble."
Zhu Zhilang said politely, "It's just my duty. Why doesn't Master Shen go to bed..." Before he could take a step, Shen Qingqiu stepped in front of him, grabbed his arm, and spun him around.
Only when Zhuzhilang turned away from the bed curtains did he say, "I'm not going to bed. I'll stay here."
Takeshiro was inexplicably dragged around by the arm and swayed, but he didn't dare to ask any questions. He just assumed it was a whim and asked good-naturedly, "Standing?"
Shen Qingqiu decisively replied, "Stand."
Bamboo Branch Boy: "Can Immortal Master Shen bear it?"
Behind him, Luo Binghe abruptly threw off the covers, his body radiating murderous intent, black mist erupting from him. Shen Qingqiu pretended not to see him, keeping his eyes straight ahead: "I'm used to it."
Zhu Zhilang nodded and turned to set up the golden censer on the small table. Taking this opportunity, Shen Qingqiu sent a palm strike at Luo Binghe from a distance, knocking him back into the quilt and quickly covering him up. When Zhu Zhilang turned around, everyone was already in their positions, and everything seemed normal.
Holding up the red-hot charcoal, he said, "Please, Master Shen, remove your outer garment."
Shen Qingqiu lowered his head and slowly began to untie his belt. He dared not untie it too quickly; if he really took it off, Luo Binghe would probably tear the bed apart and even break him apart.
His movements were incredibly slow. After waiting for a long time, Zhuzhilang finally couldn't help but glance at him and asked, "Immortal Master Chen, is it inconvenient with your fingers? Would you like me to help you?"
When Shen Qingqiu saw him raise his eyes, she quickly tugged at her clothes, and her outer garment slid off her shoulder.
