Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Cunning Gay
Ye Nanque watched Jiang Caiyu pinch Mu Jiulin's chin and force the potion into his mouth. Mu Jiulin pretended to resist, but actually drank it obediently.
Ye Nanque was anxious and angry, staring blankly but unable to do anything.
Mu Jiulin asked Jiang Caiyu: "What is this?"
Jiang Caiyu: "Made from rotten grass, demonic medicine, disgusting taste."
Mu Jiulin: "How dare you treat me like this."
Enough, Mu Jiulin, your acting is really fake. What good is there in forcing Jiang Caiyu to abuse him all day long? Ye Nanque couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure it out.
Jiang Caiyu frowned, turned around and left the Demon Prison.
As soon as Jiang Caiyu left, Mu Jiulin stopped acting and stayed alone in the darkness quietly for a long time.
Ye Nanque sighed, walked up to him, cupped his face with his hands, and asked, "Junior Brother Mu, are you crazy? You made up such a big lie and told it to Jiang Caiyu. What are you going to do?"
Mu Jiulin moved, and Ye Nanque was so scared that he quickly withdrew his hand and waved it in front of his eyes to make sure that Mu Jiulin really couldn't see him.
Mu Jiulin suddenly couldn't help but call out "Senior Brother".
Ye Nanque also responded to him and said, "I'm here."
Mu Jiulin: "Brother, I miss you so much..."
Ye Nanque touched his head, and after a long pause, he replied softly, "I know."
Mu Jiulin's face twisted, veins bulging, and he looked terrifying. Ye Nanque knew it was a foul feeling coming on; the pain of his internal organs rotting was undoubtedly unbearable. Unexpectedly, Mu Jiulin laughed out loud in the midst of the pain, though there was a hint of madness in that laugh.
"Senior brother, senior brother..." He called Ye Nanque over and over again, as if Ye Nanque was his painkiller. He would call out once when in pain, and twice when in pain, and the medicine would work.
"...I really want to see my senior brother soon..."
Ye Nanque: "Goodbye, living a good life is better than anything else."
Mu Jiulin pursed his lips and swallowed a bunch of blood foam: "Wait for me... wait until I have redeemed my sins, then I will come to see Brother."
Ye Nanque was stunned.
A thought crossed his mind, and the doubts he had been holding for days finally seemed to have found an explanation. Mu Jiulin was willing to be imprisoned here, deliberately angering Jiang Caiyu and leading her to torture him. Was it because he felt... guilty, and therefore deserved this punishment?
Ye Nanque was upset and wanted to slap Mu Jiulin to wake him up.
What's the point of atonement? This is just a third-rate fiction world, why bother with all this high-end stuff! Isn't it better for him to just be the hero?
Mu Jiulin, damn it! Mu Jiulin! This kid is going to piss him off to death!
Ye Nanque ran wildly on the spot for a while, severely criticizing Mu Jiulin's narrow-mindedness, and spoke until his mouth was dry. But after calming down, he walked up to Mu Jiulin, hugged Mu Jiulin who was suffering with red eyes: "You, how can I..."
System: [Everyone only has those hands, and even a hug wouldn't let you possess them...]
Ye Nanque: […Why is there a song suddenly playing?]
System: [Looking at this scene, I feel like I should help you with the background music. It would add some atmosphere so I can get into the mood.]
Ye Nanque: […You really don’t wrong yourself at all.]
Worried that Jiang Caiyu might do something again, Ye Nanque kept an eye on him as soon as he came out of the Demon Prison, and sure enough, he was in the Lingquan Room.
Ye Nanque's body was half soaked in the spiritual spring. He was a little uncomfortable looking at himself from a third-person perspective a few days ago, but now he has gotten used to it. However, this does not mean that he can calmly watch Jiang Caiyu soaking in the spiritual spring with him, and so close to him.
Jiang Caiyu never went into the water when she came to see him before, so why did she come in with the water today?
Jiang Caiyu crossed the water to his side, sat down beside him, leaned on a piece of jade, supported her forehead with one hand, and half closed her eyes.
The water vapor from the spiritual spring quickly condensed on his eyelashes, crystal clear. Although Jiang Caiyu had no expression at all, it was because he had no expression at all that Ye Nanque could feel with certainty that Jiang Caiyu was now completely relaxed.
It's so relaxing to soak in a hot spring with a corpse.
Ye Nanque: [Teacher, our Caiyu seems to have gone crazy.]
System: [At this point, I wouldn't be shocked no matter how messed up the world becomes.]
Jiang Caiyu had only been soaking for a short while when she was called out by a disciple, who said that the Medicine Immortal from the Holy Medical Sect was coming to visit.
Jiang Caiyu slowly opened his eyes, his clear eyes seemed to be unable to tolerate any distracting thoughts. He raised his hand to adjust Ye Nanque's hairband and said softly, "Master will come to accompany you later."
Yan Xichuang came to see Mu Jiulin, and Jiang Caiyu knew it very well. Of course, it was impossible for him to really let Yan Xichuang see Mu Jiulin. However, given Yan Xichuang's love for Mu Jiulin, he probably had to go through some trouble.
Yan Xichuang brought a lot of tonics, and the first question he asked was about Mu Jiulin.
Jiang Caiyu said calmly, "His heart meridians are damaged, and he is currently recuperating in seclusion and not seeing anyone."
According to his original thought, Yan Xichuang would not be fooled so easily, but Yan Xichuang just pondered for a moment and said, "I guess so."
She looked around and said, "Jiang Caiyu, can I have a moment to talk?"
Jiang Caiyu dismissed his attendants, and Yan Xichuang spoke again: "That child looks very similar to my junior fellow apprentice."
Jiang Caiyu: "He looks like his mother. As for Brother Mu, he is only 30% similar."
Yan Xi Chuang: "That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm saying is that he and my junior brother are both romantic."
"A lover?" Jiang Caiyu tilted her ear, not knowing why Yan Xichuang said that.
Yan Xi Chuang: "You don't know? By the way, your Yu Jian Sect has a lot of rules. I guess they're hiding it from you because they're afraid of being punished by you. Originally, I didn't want to get involved in the private affairs of a junior, but now I'm really worried that he might do something extreme. When I was in the Wu Sect, I discovered that Jiulin and Xiao Nanque had a special relationship."
Jiang Caiyu: "Is the relationship unusual?"
Yan Xichuang lost her patience at his ambiguous attitude. "What's wrong with you today? Why do you only know how to repeat what I say? If Mu Jiulin's soul is lost, does that mean yours is lost too? Okay, let me explain it clearly. They are in love with each other and have secretly decided to spend their lives together. Do you understand?"
Jiang Caiyu seemed to have been acupunctured, unable to move or speak.
Yan Xichuang understood him very well: "I know that you are probably unhappy that my two disciples did such a thing under your nose, but now is not the time to be unhappy. Xiao Nanque is dead, and I am afraid that Jiulin..."
Jiang Caiyu: "Evidence."
Yan Xi Chuang: "Hmm? What evidence?"
Jiang Caiyu: "You said they were in love with each other, where's the evidence?"
Yan Xi Chuang: "I don't know if you still remember, but I once gave Jiulin a bottle of elixir for joint cultivation, called "Duqing". If two people are in tune with each other, after taking it, something like a red thread will entwine their fingertips. Especially... when love is deep, the red thread will make them inseparable. When Wu Zong was attacking Pei Feng, I accidentally saw that the two of them were connected by "Duqing" between their fingers."
Ye Nanque felt a little ashamed for some reason while listening to this. Du Qing was actually used in this way. Maybe Mu Jiulin didn't understand it very well at the time. By accident, the two of them actually used such a thing.
Yan Xi Chuang continued, "But your reaction is really slow. These two children are under your nose every day, and you didn't notice anything? The way Jiulin looks at him is so obvious that even someone who has only met him once can sense something..."
Before she could finish her words, the teacup in Jiang Caiyu's hand broke.
Yan Xi Chuang paused. "Don't be angry now. It's already this time. One of them is dead, and the other has a damaged heart. Sigh... I came here mainly to remind you to keep an eye on Jiulin and don't let him do anything stupid."
Jiang Caiyu said calmly: "He killed him."
Yan Xi Chuang sighed softly. "Yes, maybe not. Maybe... The situation forced us to do it. Even if we were given it, there would be no perfect solution. Even after all these years, there are some things, some truths, that we can never see clearly. In this kind of thing, who knows the truth except them? That day, the sky was overcast. They said and did everything in the sky. My old eyes are blurry and I didn't see a thing. But I remember clearly the sight of him walking towards me, holding Ye Nanque, like a walking corpse. I can't help but feel uneasy. Forget it, after all I've said, I don't think you understand. You live on the Tai Shang Wang Qing Dan. How can you understand the love of these hot-blooded children?"
"Love?" Jiang Caiyu held the word in her mouth and suddenly felt deafened.
He felt dizzy and tried to stand up, but he stumbled a bit. Yan Xichuang was quick to help him up. "Why do you look so exhausted?"
Jiang Caiyu grabbed her arm with his backhand, pressing her inch by inch, asking word by word: "What is love? I don't understand, tell me about it."
Yan Xi Chuang was helpless: "Good question, good question. Someone as unworldly as you is now starting to think about this question. However, I don't know how to explain it to you. Perhaps everyone has their own mysteries. You shouldn't ask me. To be honest, I have been in the world for many years and have not tasted the seven emotions and six desires. At best, I am better than you, a cold-hearted person. But I think that love is an innate nature, whether it is human or demon, even if I don't explain, sooner or later you will understand it yourself."
Jiang Caiyu stood still and took back the hand that was holding Yan Xichuang's arm: "Forgive me, I lost my composure."
Yan Xi Chuang: "It's rare to see you lose your composure, which is quite interesting. Please consider Jiulin for what I've entrusted to you today."
Jiang Caiyu: "Of course."
Yan Xi Chuang had no suspicion and said goodbye.
Ye Nanque looked at Jiang Caiyu and felt that he was more confused. During this period of time, Jiang Caiyu seemed to have become an increasingly inconsistent person. He had many questions but no answers. He was in an extremely chaotic state, but no one could help him. He was shrouded in a thick fog, and no one could pull him out.
By the way, their Yu Jian Sect really needs to pay more attention to mental health education.
In the following days, Jiang Caiyu was very motivated. He read books and flew to Zen Buddhism to attend lectures, even throwing Mu Jiulin aside.
He forgot about Mu Jiulin, and Ye Nanque at least breathed a sigh of relief.
As winter passed and spring came, when Jiang Caiyu was studying Zen Buddhism, a yellow butterfly landed on his fingertips, flapping its wings and ready to fly away.
He opened his eyes and saw that the winter had faded and spring buds had sprouted on the branches.
The moment the yellow butterfly flew up, he suddenly wanted to see Ye Nanque.
Then he stood up from among the hundred people seated.
Master Wuji asked, "Jiang Xianjun, have you found the answer?"
Jiang Caiyu said, "I'm going to see him."
Master Wuji said, "This is 'the present moment is the present moment,' the pure heart."
Jiang Caiyu continued walking and heard Master Wuji call him again: "Jiang Xianjun, it's not too late to turn back. Do not harbor any murderous thoughts."
Jiang Caiyu rushed all the way back to the Yu Jian Sect, opened the barrier of the Lingquan Room, and walked in. Ye Nanque was still the same as he had seen before. The Lingquan was not on Ye Nanque's chest, and the steaming heat seemed as if he still retained body temperature.
Jiang Caiyu said, "I'm back."
Jiang Caiyu said again: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Jiang Caiyu also said: "It turns out that my teacher is stupid and has poor understanding, so he realized it so late."
Ye Nanque didn't hear anything Jiang Caiyu said because he was chatting with Mu Jiulin in the Demon Prison.
To be precise, he was chatting unilaterally.
Ye Nanque said earnestly, "Brother, you're such a good fighter, I beg you to escape. It's rare that Jiang Caiyu doesn't have time to take care of you. You're tied up here every day and don't exercise. Sooner or later, your abdominal muscles will disappear. I really don't like people without abdominal muscles, even though I'm not gay."
"And why did you insist on following Jiang Caiyu and drinking that 'bad taste'? It'll rot your face, brother. You're such a good-looking guy. Putting aside your figure and face... I can't seem to put them aside. Let me clarify again, I'm not gay."
System: [Okay, okay, okay, I'll vouch for him. He's not gay. He simply likes your face, lusts after your body, is obsessed with your temperament, and finally falls for your charm.]
Ye Nanque: [What truth are you talking about?]
As he was speaking, he sensed Jiang Caiyu's presence. Ye Nanque was startled. Jiang Caiyu was back? So soon!
As soon as Jiang Caiyu came in, Mu Jiulin reacted, raised his eyelids to look at him, and said with a fake smile: "You are here, what did you bring this time?"
Jiang Caiyu said, "So you have feelings for Nanque."
Mu Jiulin's smile froze for only a second, and then he sneered in amusement: "Who lied to you? If I had feelings for him, why would I kill him?"
Jiang Caiyu continued to talk to herself: "You are using me to punish yourself. This way, you can feel at ease and happy."
Mu Jiulin sneered: "I don't know where you heard these rumors, but I think no one would love someone and then let him fall under his own sword."
Jiang Caiyu nodded: "I thought so too. I was almost deceived by you. How could I let you get what you want?"
He took out a burner of incense from his spirit bag, lit it, and a pleasant aroma came out.
Mu Jiulin asked: "What is this?"
Jiang Caiyu explained slowly and calmly, "Nan Que, you, and I went to the Xu family in Yangzhou together. Madam Xu lost her young son, and Brother Xu found the Soul-Snatching Incense for her to help her cleanse her past. The Wu Clan has been destroyed, and the Soul-Snatching Incense should have been extinct. Fortunately, Brother Xu still had some, and I asked for it."
Mu Jiulin's eyes darkened: "You want me to forget him?"
Jiang Caiyu: "You have a deep and cunning character. It's not hard to imagine how you deceived him in the first place. Every time I think of this, I feel even more hatred. You asked for torture just to comfort yourself, but it only fueled your arrogance and made you think you were a deeply infatuated lover. It's really disgusting. I think over and over again, I feel that you don't even deserve to have the memory of being with him. I was the one who brought you in, and the bad fate between you and him has long been established. Today, I should personally erase it. From now on, he is mine alone."
The aroma was so strong that it made people sleepy, and even Ye Nanque couldn't help yawning.
While Mu Jiulin was yawning, the iron chains on his body suddenly broke with a "bang". His clothes opened slightly, revealing his slightly decayed chest.
Jiang Caiyu: "I really can't hold you here. You're finally willing to show your true face."
Mu Jiulin flicked his finger and the incense burner was overturned.
He curled his lips and said, "Your analysis is so logical that I almost thought you were hiding under his and my bed."
Jiang Caiyu's brows tightened: "Dirty words."
"Dirty words?" Mu Jiulin laughed, "You don't know how happy I am. He likes it so much and clings to me tightly."
When it comes to understanding human nature, Mu Jiulin is far superior to Jiang Caiyu in this respect. Just based on what Jiang Caiyu said just now, he completely understood Jiang Caiyu's thoughts about Ye Nanque, even more clearly than Jiang Caiyu herself.
He specifically targeted Jiang Caiyu's sore spots.
Mu Jiulin: "You want me to forget? What do you want me to forget? Do you want me to forget the kiss he offered me, or do you want me to forget the three months we spent together in the wilderness? Strange, what identity do you have to make me forget him?"
Jiang Caiyu picked up Jianshan and stabbed him, but Mu Jiulin dodged and Ye Nanque, caught in the middle, shouted, "Don't hit me, don't hit me!"
At this moment, the system went online with a ding: [Headquarters delay resolved. User Benefit: Hosts can choose the book world they wish to be transported to from the following three options. 1. What my husband and I have to say...]
Ye Nanque: [Union.]
System: [Why are you interrupting me?]
Ye Nanque swallowed his saliva: [You are not allowed to hit me after I tell you.]
System: [You tell me, I promise not to hit you. /roll up your sleeves.jpg]
Ye Nanque: […I still want to complete quests in this world. It's all about reader satisfaction! I promise to satisfy them! Just teleport me back. I can't just watch them fight to the death!]
System: [Heh.]
System: [Sly fag.]
Ye Nanque: [...Okay, okay, whatever you say is right. As long as you send me back, you can say anything.]
System: [Wait a moment, let me see how to operate.]
Ye Nanque: [Are you...reliable?]
System: [Guaranteed to be reliable.]
As soon as the system finished speaking, Ye Nanque's eyes flashed with white light. He had just stood up when a hand came to support him. Jiang Caiyu squatted down and straightened his collar, saying to him, "Nanque, we're going to visit Mr. and Mrs. Mu Feng from the Painting Immortal Sect. They've welcomed a son, and today is their child's full-moon banquet. You must be polite and don't run around."
Ye Nanque: "..." Why is Jiang Caiyu squatting down to talk to him and still taller than him? This is unscientific.
He stretched out his chubby hands, lifted his fleshy legs, closed his eyes, and laughed angrily.
Ye Nanque: [Guaranteed to be reliable? Ha, are you really that reliable? What have you been doing here?]
