Chapter 54 (First Update) [VIP]
Yin Chu Jiu's injuries took five days to heal, and together with the two days he was unconscious, it took almost a week in total.
Once their injuries healed, they decided to set off. The arranged troops were ready, and after Yin Chu Jiu and Yue Ling came out, they drove the carriage away with a rumble.
Mo Ling followed, his horse beside Zi Zhuo. Zi Zhuo furtively glanced at Mo Ling beside him, his expression somewhat conflicted. He couldn't believe that someone with Mo Ling's personality was also his companion.
But thinking about it again, it's quite possible. After all... Zi Zhuo looked at the black cat beside her, who was eating jerky non-stop, and suddenly felt a sense of desolation. If even a black cat could be their companion, then it wouldn't be too strange if Mo Ling was their companion as well.
Yin Chu Jiu lowered the carriage curtain and asked Yue Ling beside her, "Have you told Zi Zhuo about Mo Ling's identity yet?" The young man was right next to her; the two of them were in a carriage, not on horseback.
According to Yue Ling, although Chu Jiu's injury has healed, there may be aftereffects, so this time he and I will ride in a carriage while you ride horses.
So, while everyone else (including the girl with the black cat) rode horses, Yin Chu Jiu and Yue Ling rode in a carriage.
But in reality, the boy who was worried about the aftereffects of his actions leaned on his shoulder, wrapped his arms around his waist, and hugged him very possessively.
He just wanted to find an opportunity to be alone with him.
Yin Chu Jiu turned her head slightly and could see the boy's handsome profile. His eyes were closed, and his long eyelashes drooped down, appearing particularly thick, perhaps due to the light and shadow, casting a beautiful shadow under his eyes.
"Hmm." Yue Ling nodded lazily, nuzzling against Yin Chu Jiu's cheek with his fluffy head. "When Mo Ling said he wanted to come with us, Zi Zhuo was very confused. So I told him about Mo Ling's identity, and he found out."
Yin Chu Jiu nodded knowingly, which explained why Zi Zhuo's expression had been so strange earlier; he had indeed found out.
It's good that he knows, because that way Zi Zhuo won't be on guard. Don't let Zi Zhuo's carefree attitude fool you; he's actually quite wary. Along the way, they did encounter people in trouble, but just like when the black cat appeared, he ignored them.
If Yin Chu Jiu hadn't told him that the black cat was their companion, perhaps the black cat wouldn't be in their group now.
With Mo Ling around, their journey should be much smoother; at least they won't be caught off guard by the men in black again, leaving them powerless to resist. It's said that Mo Ling has also brought along a teleportation array master he recruited, who can immediately detect and eliminate any hidden teleportation arrays.
Yin Chu Jiu thought about many things when suddenly his neck tickled, as if someone was gently kissing him—not just like, but really. He reached out and stopped the boy's lips from kissing him again, moving away slightly.
Yue Ling moved with him, then raised her eyelids, her beautiful eyes staring at him with a hint of doubt, as if asking why he wouldn't be allowed to kiss her. Faced with the boy's direct gaze, Yin Chu Jiu blushed slightly at the base of her ears.
"We're on our way." After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke up to remind the boy.
Yue Ling raised her eyebrows but didn't answer, as if to say, "I know, but what does this have to do with us?"
Yin Chu Jiu's ears turned even redder. He pointed outside the carriage and said in a low voice, "Zi Zhuo and Mo Ling Black Cat are both here. They are riding horses, while we are in a carriage."
What he didn't finish saying was that if it were just a proper carriage ride, it wouldn't be a problem, but when others were seriously traveling, and they were doing this and that in the carriage, he always felt an indescribable sense of guilt.
"Pfft!" Yue Ling suddenly chuckled softly. He pinched Yin Chu Jiu's bright red earlobe with two fingers and deliberately lowered his voice, saying, "You don't like it?"
With a sudden burst of color, Yin Chu Jiu's face turned completely red. At this moment, he understood perfectly well that Yue Ling actually knew everything, but he pretended not to and deliberately asked him questions.
Yue Ling's smile deepened, and this time he bit her bright red earlobe, whispering even more intimately, "You really don't like it?"
Yin Chu Jiu hesitated and didn't speak. Yue Ling made a move to leave, so he quickly grabbed Yue Ling's sleeve and said as if he was going to throw caution to the wind, "I like it."
It was truly utterly shameful.
Perhaps because they had suppressed their feelings for too long, once their hearts were connected, they longed to be together all the time. Even with a strong sense of guilt, he still wanted to be with him.
Yin Chu Jiu was too ashamed to look Yue Ling in the eye, unaware that Yue Ling's gaze had darkened the moment he uttered those words, becoming deep and frightening. Then, he pounced on the boy, pinning his flushed face beneath him, and kissed his rosy lips, saying in a hoarse voice, "I like it too."
He thought that if Yin Chu Jiu didn't keep him, he would definitely show him what he was capable of.
Mo Ling's forces were based in a mountain villa not far from Moon Town, a distance of two daylights. Compared to their previous journeys that often took half a month, this time was not long. Furthermore, with many skilled individuals protecting them, the atmosphere on this trip was much more relaxed than before.
When it was time, everyone still had the mood to stop and rest. Yin Chu Jiu and Yue Ling got out of the car and took the opportunity to get some fresh air. At the same time, Yin Chu Jiu also planned to cook a meal for Yue Ling.
Ever since his cooking caught the black cat's attention, Yue Ling forbade him from cooking. But over the years, Yin Chu Jiu had taken care of Yue Ling, almost instinctively. Now that their relationship had changed, he wanted to do something to express his feelings.
This time, however, he was smarter. He only started cooking while the black cat went to check on the guards who had come with them. The girl was on the other side, and they were on this side, so they wouldn't attract attention. In fact, that was exactly the case; only Zi Zhuo and Mo Ling were there.
Zi Zhuo was impatient with the guards, and they weren't familiar with them anyway. As for Mo Ling, he habitually followed Yue Ling; to him, Yue Ling was the most important person.
With two more people, Yin Chu Jiu had to cook for two more people, but fortunately he was used to it and didn't find it troublesome.
On the contrary, Yue Ling was very unhappy. He stared at Zi Zhuo and Mo Ling with dark eyes. Zi Zhuo pretended not to see it, but Mo Ling was sensible. He took out a portion of dry food from his pocket and shared some with Zi Zhuo.
When the meal was finally ready, Yin Chu Jiu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw Mo Ling and Zi Zhuo eating their dry rations with a pitiful expression. He nudged the culprit, Yue Ling, who looked over and blinked his extremely handsome eyes, appearing utterly innocent.
Yin Chu Jiu: "..."
Yue Ling frowned, looked at the two people beside her, and with a somewhat emotional expression, shared some food with them.
Seeing this, Yin Chu Jiu was finally less embarrassed.
Zi Zhuo ate, grinning like a cat, his eyes practically disappearing from his face. Mo Ling nodded at him, a silent thank you. Yin Chu Jiu waved her hands repeatedly before starting to eat.
Finally, the meal was successfully finished. After finishing, the black cat girl came over. She stared at the bowl that was empty of food and nibbled on the jerky with a wronged expression.
After finishing their meal, the group set off again. Yin Chu Jiu rode in the carriage as usual, while Yue Ling rode with Mo Ling Zi Zhuo and the others for a while before returning to the carriage. As soon as Yue Ling returned, Yin Chu Jiu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
If Yue Ling keeps riding outside, he really can't stand being alone in the carriage. Once they reach Moon Town, they should put the carriage down and ride with Mo Ling and the others. It's too embarrassing for just the two of them in the carriage.
Yin Chu Jiu tugged at Yue Ling's sleeve and told him his plans. As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Ling frowned. Unlike before, when he was always so deep and serious, he was now becoming more and more adept at expressing his opinions. When he was happy, he would chuckle, and his eyes would light up with joy; when he was unhappy, he would frown, making him seem difficult to get along with.
Without delving into his other personality traits, Yue Ling now seems more and more like an ordinary person. Yin Chu Jiu knows that Yue Ling's personality is naturally different from what he appears to be, but he is happy to see Yue Ling's 'simple emotions'.
He also found a way to deal with Yue Ling.
"Yue Ling, after thinking it over, I still feel it's not quite right for the two of us to sit in the carriage." Yin Chu Jiu blinked and said in a conciliatory tone, "I also want to spend more time with you, but this situation really isn't suitable."
"If we ride horses, we'll definitely spend less time on the road than we originally planned. Once we get back from Moon Forest, we can spend time together however we want."
Yue Ling lowered his eyes, remaining silent and unresponsive, his face expressionless, making it impossible to discern his thoughts. Yin Chu Jiu gritted her teeth, pinched Yue Ling's chin, gently lifted it, and kissed him.
This was the first time he had taken the initiative to kiss Yue Ling. All the previous intimacy had been obtained by Yue Ling through coercion, stolen kisses, or seduction. The first time he took the initiative, he closed his eyes slightly, his eyelashes trembling with nervousness. The moment he kissed her, Yue Ling lifted her eyelids, her dark eyes filled with astonishment, followed by a smile of enjoyment.
Yin Chu Jiu's kiss was shy. Before Yue Ling, he had never been in a relationship, nor had he ever been so intimate with anyone, whether male or female. Even though he had been quite intimate with Yue Ling, his actions were still awkward.
He would only give dry kisses on the lips, neither licking nor biting. But even this inexperience made Yue Ling take a deep breath.
After a long while, the kiss ended, and Yin Chu Jiu took a step back. Yue Ling wouldn't let him go back, so she grabbed his waist and said with a mix of force and seduction, "If you want me to say yes, then kiss me again."
Yin Chu Jiu's face immediately turned even redder.
"You have to lick it first, then stick out your tongue." Yue Ling instructed Yin Chu Jiu in a teacher's manner, "We've been intimate so many times, how come you don't know how?" He seized the opportunity to tease Yin Chu Jiu relentlessly.
Yin Chu Jiu had only taken the initiative this once, and he was already extremely ashamed. He never expected that Yue Ling would actually tease him. As he listened to Yue Ling's increasingly shameless words, his face flushed red, a surge of fighting spirit suddenly rose within him.
Staring at Yue Ling's smiling face, he put his arm around his waist and lowered his head. Following Yue Ling's instructions, he inserted his tongue into Yue Ling's mouth, and then, as Yue Ling had done before, he found his tongue and entwined it, and even gently swept it around the root of his tongue and his teeth, bringing waves of tingling numbness.
Yin Chu Jiu's sudden action caused Yue Ling to open his eyes wide in surprise. Yin Chu Jiu felt a little smug about Yue Ling's reaction—after all, he was a man.
Yin Chu Jiu became increasingly proactive in her attacks. Yue Ling, feeling the passionate tongue in her mouth, closed her eyes in satisfaction, like a wild beast waiting for its prey to come to it. Being proactive and being passive definitely felt different.
While Yin Chu Jiu was catching his breath, Yue Ling kissed his lips and said in a low, husky voice, "Give me another kiss, and we'll change horses when we get to Moon Town."
The two were fooling around in the carriage, and no matter how careful they were, they couldn't help but make some noise. The two people outside were both quite skilled, and the cultivator with the most acute senses heard the faint sound of water splashing and couldn't help but sigh: "The world is going to the dogs."
They're all still riding horses outside. Could the two of them in the carriage inside please tone it down a bit?
The clatter of hooves shifted from left to right as Mo Ling rode his horse from Zi Zhuo's left to her right, moving a little further away from the carriage. Before Zi Zhuo could ask Mo Ling why he did this, Mo Ling spoke up, asking, "Yue Ling and Yin Chu Jiu, what is their relationship?"
"What kind of relationship could it be? A couple, of course," Zi Zhuo sighed.
"Couple?"
“That’s right,” Zi Zhuo said. “When we weren’t together, he could restrain himself a bit, but now that we’re together, he’s so unrestrained and doesn’t even consider our feelings.”
Although Zi Zhuo appeared to be complaining, he was actually smiling. Others might not know, but he had witnessed the entire process of Yue Ling and Yin Chu Jiu getting together, so he could understand seeing Yue Ling and Yin Chu Jiu being so intimate.
He was a little worried that Mo Ling might have objections. Although Mo Ling was their future partner, they didn't really know each other very well yet.
So, to appease Mo Ling, he pretended to complain. Hopefully, Mo Ling would tolerate it because of his complaint. Once they arrived in Moon Town, he would subtly voice his opinion to Yue Ling.
"Yue Ling really likes Yin Chu Jiu?"
Of course, of course they like each other very much, otherwise they wouldn't have become a couple. Zi Zhuo was wondering what Mo Ling would say, but he didn't expect Mo Ling to ask such a question. The question seemed redundant, but when he turned his head to look, he found that Mo Ling's expression was serious. It seemed that he really was asking if Yue Ling and Yin Chu Jiu's relationship was that good.
Zi Zhuo: "..."
Since they were companions after all, Zi Zhuo felt obligated to educate him, so he said very seriously, "He really likes Yue Ling. He really likes Yin Chu Jiu. But..." He paused, then said with a little worry, "But I don't know if Yin Chu Jiu likes Yue Ling as much as he does."
Mo Ling moved even closer and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Back then..." Zi Zhuo recounted how Yue Ling pursued Yin Chu Jiu, but Yin Chu Jiu rejected him. He told the whole story truthfully, without any exaggeration, including how Yue Ling couldn't resist using drugs to extract information. However, when he got to that part, his voice was very low, so low that it was almost inaudible to outsiders. "Originally, I thought it would be a long time before Yue Ling got what he wanted, but this time Yin Chu Jiu was rescued, and maybe he also figured out some things, and that's how the two of them got together."
Mo Ling frowned, and Zi Zhuo continued, "So, Yin Chu Jiu probably also likes Yue Ling, but whether she likes him as much as Yue Ling, I don't know."
"Mo Ling, please try to understand Yue Ling and be more tolerant." Zi Zhuo felt that Mo Ling was at least reasonable, knowing to ask about these things, so he should understand that Yue Ling and Yin Chu Jiu had gone a bit too far. However, Mo Ling simply withdrew his gaze and looked ahead, seemingly lost in thought.
They arrived at Moon Town in the evening. Their men went to arrange inns, while Mo Ling and his group lagged behind.
The carriage stopped in front of the inn, and Yue Ling and Yin Chu Jiu got out. Outside, the two were not as intimate as inside the carriage, but they still seemed to have a good relationship.
Mo Ling also dismounted from his horse. He looked at the two people walking hand in hand into the inn, and his eyes darkened.
Author's Note:
Just like the title suggests, this chapter is sickeningly saccharine (* /ω＼*)
Just a little spoiler: some little angels asked why Mo Ling felt threatened when he saw Yin Chu Jiu and Yue Ling together. It's because he regained his memories and knew that this was an illusion, and that Yin Chu Jiu would return when the illusion ended (the main content can be found in the villain's dialogue when Yin Chu Jiu was kidnapped; Yin Chu Jiu herself didn't know this). Therefore, he didn't think it was good for Yue Ling and Yin Chu Jiu to be together; on the contrary, he felt it was very bad.
