Chapter 44
Mu Xize couldn't stand the two of them being so lovey-dovey anymore, so he said, "Please consider the feelings of this old man. If you're going to discuss a plan, then discuss it properly. Stop with the lovey-dovey talk."
Upon hearing Mu Xize's words, Shi Anxu blushed and immediately released his grip on Mu Qingzhou, obediently stepping aside.
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. Based on your findings, it seems that Jiang Linyu colluded with demonic cultivators to frame you. Now, all the major sects are convinced that you were behind this, and it won't be easy to clear your name," Mu Xize said.
“That’s right. They won’t listen to our explanations at all, and they won’t even give us time to investigate. I couldn’t think of any way to resolve this at the time,” Shi Anxu nodded and said.
“It’s time to settle my score with him. Since he enjoys seeing me lose and wants to outdo me, let him have his way,” Mu Qingzhou said.
Shi Anxu immediately understood Mu Qingzhou's meaning and said, "Junior brother, you mean..."
Mu Qingzhou nodded and said, "We need to obtain the cultivation technique that Jiang Linyu is using to replace ours, and have our master's wife research a way to minimize the harm to the victims. Then we'll show ourselves to help them. Let those who want to curse us curse at us. Jiang Linyu will definitely come to watch the show. I just need to set up the Mantra Array and wait for him to step on it."
Mu Xize disagreed with Mu Qingzhou's statement: "When An Xu first met him, he was already possessed by demons. There was no way he couldn't see through the True Word Formation you set up."
Mu Qingzhou said, "Master's wife, there's no need to worry. As you know, Master usually likes to study these kinds of formations. Coincidentally, he taught me a formation that only appears when a person enters it."
Upon hearing the word "Master," Mu Xize's eyes dimmed for a moment. "Your Master never expected that his tinkering with these things would be of such great help to his disciples after his death."
Shi Anxu realized that Mu Qingzhou had touched on Mu Xize's painful memories. He glared at Mu Qingzhou and said, "Master's wife... Master would be very gratified to see your peaceful and tranquil life now. Please don't say those things again. It is Master's wish that you die peacefully in your old age."
Mu Xize was supposed to be dead, but unexpectedly, Su Qinyi's remaining wisp of soul continued to follow him.
Even without his memory, he still selflessly used his last remaining wisp of soul to save himself.
His thoughts of death have been dispelled by this incident, so what reason does he have to give up this body that Su Qinyi has given up even the last glimmer of hope for?
He wiped away the tears that had involuntarily streamed down his cheeks and forced a smile. "Don't worry, I... have no intention of dying anymore. The plan is set. I'll just wait for you to bring back the fake cultivation technique. Hmm, I still have a lot of medicinal herbs to process, so I'll be going now."
Watching Mu Xize's departing figure, Shi Anxu asked Mu Qingzhou, "Would you, like your master, willingly sacrifice yourself for the sake of all living beings?"
Mu Qingzhou embraced Shi Anxu from behind, kissed Shi Anxu's cheek, and said, "No, I'm greedy. I can't bear to part with my senior brother. Saving the world doesn't necessarily have to be me. Even without me, there will be thousands upon thousands of cultivators like Master who will follow in our footsteps."
Shi Anxu gently patted Mu Qingzhou's head, who was still kissing her cheek, and asked, "If Senior Brother wants to save the world, will you stay with me?"
Mu Qingzhou took the opportunity to kiss Shi Anxu's injured body again and replied, "Whatever you do, senior brother, whether it's good or bad, I will be with you."
Shi Anxu's lips curved into a wider smile as he said, "Your words are enough."
The two returned to the house together, and Mu Qingzhou led Shi Anxu towards the bed.
Shi Anxu stared wide-eyed as Mu Qingzhou led her to the bed.
Then Mu Qingzhou tried to undress Shi Anxu, but Shi Anxu immediately slapped Mu Qingzhou's hands away and said, "It's still daylight, and we haven't even discussed how to get the fake cultivation technique yet."
Mu Qingzhou's eyes were bright as she blinked at Shi Anxu. "Does Senior Brother mean it can be done in the evening? Then let's discuss how to get the fake cultivation technique now."
Shi Anxu never expected that his words would lead him into another trap.
What else could he do? He could only endure it.
"What leads do you have regarding obtaining the fake cultivation technique?" Shi Anxu asked, getting back to the main point.
“Given Jiang Linyu’s personality, the fake cultivation technique should be in his hands. We can use the magic weapon that Master left for Senior Brother to sneak in and steal it,” Mu Qingzhou replied.
Upon hearing Mu Qingzhou's answer, Shi Anxu was dumbfounded. He thought there would be a brilliant plan, but it turned out to be so simple and crude.
"Are you sure Jiang Linyu won't find out if we just sneak in and steal it?" Shi Anxu asked incredulously.
"Of course we won't just go in and steal it. There are two of us, so one of us has to distract Jiang Linyu," Mu Qingzhou replied.
"Then... I'll go..." steal the fake cultivation technique.
"I'll lure Jiang Linyu away, Senior Brother, you go and steal the fake cultivation technique."
Before Shi Anxu could finish speaking, Mu Qingzhou interrupted him.
"good."
After discussing the fake cultivation technique, the timing was perfect; it was already getting dark.
Mu Qingzhou had already been holding back a lot while discussing the fake cultivation technique, but now that it was dark, he couldn't hold back any longer and pressed himself against Shi Anxu.
Shi Anxu now realizes how ridiculous he was for trying to stall for time.
Since we've already delayed things so far, let's just go all the way and keep delaying.
"Junior brother, I think it's still a bit too early. It's not even completely dark yet."
"It's getting late, Senior Brother. It will be nighttime once it gets dark. I think it's still too late now."
After saying that, a barrage of kisses rained down on him, kissing his lips, nose, and eyes, leaving no one untouched.
Towards the end, Shi Anxu felt weak all over, and her eyes were moist with a slight redness.
Having already tasted the forbidden fruit, Mu Qingzhou could no longer resist and wanted to do it all again with Shi Anxu.
Shi Anxu saw through Mu Qingzhou's intention and said in a coquettish tone, "Junior brother, no."
Mu Qingzhou completely ignored what Shi Anxu was saying and continued to let Shi Anxu indulge in a life of drunkenness, dreaming, and death.
The next day, Shi Anxu woke up feeling like his back was about to give way, and it hurt whenever he moved.
Shi Anxu truly experienced what it meant to feel "great" and shouted all night long, until his voice was completely hoarse.
He glanced at the bed beside him; Mu Qingzhou had already gotten up and left.
Shi Anxu pounded the bed and cursed, "You heartless bastard! You ate and left without even staying to rub my back."
After he finished cursing, he supported his back, got out of bed, and poured himself some water.
However, he underestimated Mu Qingzhou's abilities; as soon as he got out of bed, his legs went weak and he fell backward.
In his terror, a strong arm wrapped around his waist, pulling him close to a hard chest.
Mu Qingzhou helped Shi Anxu sit back on the bed, went to pour a glass of water, handed it to Shi Anxu, and said, "Next time you want water, just call me."
Shi Anxu took the water and drank it in small sips, but he ignored Mu Qingzhou.
Mu Qingzhou knew his senior brother was angry, but he also thought his senior brother looked cute when he was angry.
He coaxed Shi Anxu, saying, "Senior brother, don't be angry. It will harm your health. Let me rub your back for you."
Mu Qingzhou's technique for massaging the waist was excellent; the pressure was just right.
Shi Anxu's aching back finally eased a bit, but he still didn't intend to pay any attention to Mu Qingzhou. If he didn't teach him a lesson, he wouldn't be able to get out of bed in the future.
Seeing that Shi Anxu was still ignoring him, Mu Qingzhou put on a pitiful look and asked, "Senior brother, you don't want me anymore now that we've just gotten together?"
Shi Anxu couldn't stand Mu Qingzhou's attitude any longer, and he said, "I can have whatever I want, but I want to make three rules with you."
Mu Qingzhou immediately replied, "Senior brother, please speak."
Shi Anxu stretched out his hand, making a "one" gesture, and said: "First, you are only allowed to do it three times a week; second, you must stop when I say stop; third, you cannot force me if I disagree."
Mu Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then said with a troubled expression, "I promise my senior brother."
"I've only agreed; whether I actually do it or not is up to me," Mu Qingzhou thought happily.
Seeing that Mu Qingzhou had agreed, Shi Anxu patted Mu Qingzhou's hand, which was still rubbing his waist, and said, "I'm hungry."
Mu Qingzhou immediately let go of Shi Anxu's hand that was still around his waist and walked out.
A few minutes later, he came in again with a bowl of porridge.
When Shi Anxu saw that it was just plain millet porridge, she kept her lips tightly closed and immediately lost her appetite.
Mu Qingzhou noticed Shi Anxu's resistance. He picked up the bowl, scooped up a spoonful, and fed it to Shi Anxu's lips, saying, "Senior brother, please be more particular now. It was rushed today, but I will make you different dishes next time."
Hearing Mu Qingzhou say this, Shi Anxu opened his tightly pursed lips and ate the millet porridge that Mu Qingzhou fed him.
Mu Qingzhou fed him the bowl of millet porridge spoonful by spoonful, and said, "If you are still feeling unwell, Senior Brother, please rest a little longer. I'll pack up these things first."
Shi Anxu nodded and lay back down on the couch to continue sleeping.
His previous injuries hadn't fully healed, and he was still somewhat weak. After lying down, it wasn't long before his even breathing could be heard.
Mu Qingzhou kissed Shi Anxu on the forehead before quietly closing the door and leaving.
Shi Anxu slept straight through until evening; he hadn't had such a comfortable sleep in a long time.
Mu Qingzhou was like a radar; as soon as Shi Anxu woke up, he smelled the aroma and brought in food.
Shi Anxu enjoyed Mu Qingzhou's care and lay comfortably on the couch.
After feeding Shi Anxu, Mu Qingzhou stared at him like he was looking at prey, his voice hoarse: "Senior brother, are you full?"
Shi Anxu comfortably rubbed her stomach, her voice languid: "Mmm, I'm full."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingzhou immediately put down her bowl and pounced on Shi Anxu, saying, "If Senior Brother is full, then it's my turn to eat."
Shi Anxu's eyes widened instantly, and his body reacted faster than his brain, turning over and running away.
Mu Qingzhou did the same thing, pulling his ankle back.
Shi Anxu hurriedly said, "Mu Qingzhou, we made a promise... um."
Mu Qingzhou kissed Shi Anxu's lips directly, silencing him before he could say anything.
