Chapter 55 (First Update) [VIP]
Yin Chu Jiu and Yue Ling were assigned to rooms together. Since they were close, the subordinate who made the reservation knew what to do. However, Yin Chu Jiu's reaction to such a sensible subordinate differed from Yue Ling's, who was clearly satisfied.
Has everyone already found out about his relationship with Yue Ling?
Yin Chu Jiu blushed slightly. In his view, dating and coming out in public were two different concepts.
Yue Ling entered the room, put their luggage in the inn, and turned around to find the boy standing at the door, looking somewhat uneasy. He made the bed, walked over, and before the boy could react, lifted his chin to taste that touch of red.
"hiss--!"
Yin Chu Jiu's eyes widened suddenly. If it wasn't an illusion, he heard many people gasp the moment Yue Ling kissed him.
...If their previous interactions only vaguely indicated to those people that his relationship with Yue Ling was special, then Yue Ling's action was telling them—hey, our relationship is really special.
Influenced by modern societal norms, Yin Chu Jiu subconsciously tried to push Yue Ling away, but the boy's movements were forceful. Having recovered much of his energy, the boy possessed astonishing strength, and once he captured Yue Ling, he was unable to move.
Realizing this fact, Yin Chu Jiu remained silent for a while, then decided to give up resisting. Her body went limp, and she began to cooperate with Yue Ling's movements.
Anyway, that's how things were between him and Yue Ling, so it doesn't matter if others find out.
Noticing that the boy in his arms was no longer resisting, Yue Ling narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. Just as he was about to continue violating him, he raised his hand and slammed the door shut, trapping the boy's increasingly alluring expression inside so that no one could see it.
After the kiss ended, he took his most cherished treasure into their private space.
One day, everyone will know about their relationship.
Therefore, even if Yin Chu Jiu is not used to it, he will look for time, opportunities, and everything he can use to announce their relationship to everyone.
Feeling the arms around his waist tightening, Yin Chu Jiu obediently sat down on the stool beside the table. He seemed to understand Yue Ling's meaning. Yue Ling was uneasy; he lacked security, so once he got what he wanted most, he would tell everyone—this is his, and no one is allowed to take it from him.
On a deeper level, it could also be telling him: You promised to be with me, so you can't go back on your word.
—It cut off all his escape routes.
However… looking at Yue Ling, who was half-closing his eyes and looking extremely satisfied, Yin Chu Jiu couldn’t help but think to himself that he didn’t know that once he decided to be with him, he had no way out.
Yue Ling's kiss with Yin Chu Jiu in front of everyone caused a huge uproar in Mo Ling's group. Well, not exactly a huge uproar, but everyone knew that the two of them were a couple.
There are men in relationships on the Fantasy Demon Continent, but they are the first couple to be so open and undisguised. Heterosexuality is the mainstream, while homosexuality is a minority.
When they went to the lobby for lunch in the afternoon, Yin Chu Jiu was honored to receive their subtle scrutinizing gazes. At first, he felt a little uncomfortable, but after being stared at for a while, he became more at ease. Yue Ling was not as awkward as Yin Chu Jiu; in fact, when those people looked over, he would put his arm around Yin Chu Jiu's shoulder and sit with him more intimately.
Mo Ling, Zi Zhuo, and Hei Mao sat at the same table as the two of them. Seeing their intimate actions, Zi Zhuo and Hei Mao didn't seem to notice anything, but Mo Ling lowered his eyes.
He should take action. He shouldn't let Yin Chu Jiu and Yue Ling continue like this. How could Yue Ling... fall in love with Yin Chu Jiu?
This shouldn't be the case.
After a difficult dinner, everyone dispersed to their rooms to rest, knowing they had to get up early the next morning to set off. As Yue Ling had promised, the carriage was no longer needed; two horses were brought in instead. They even went to see if the horses were good and if they liked them.
Back in his room, Yin Chu Jiu collapsed onto the bed, exhausted. A lot had happened that day, and he was a bit sleepy. Yue Ling was still awake, reviewing Mo Ling's power deployment and his arrangements for the team members.
Their journey today has not been smooth sailing; they encountered an attack from the Scorpion Palace along the way.
Those men in black lay in ambush on the road, ready to attack them—even after Yue Ling and his men attacked Scorpion Palace, they did not give up the idea of attacking them.
Yin Chu Jiu couldn't understand why the Scorpion Palace kept attacking Yue Ling. The elders who had memories knew that they couldn't kill Yue Ling, and such attacks would only be a waste of effort.
However, that's just how people are; it's impossible for them to fully understand another person's thoughts. They are all independent individuals with their own ideas, so it's understandable that he didn't understand the Scorpion Palace's plans. With these thoughts in mind, Yin Chu Jiu drifted off to sleep, but he wasn't awake for long before being woken up.
He opened his eyes groggily, thinking it was Yue Ling, but after seeing the figure in front of him clearly, he realized it wasn't Yue Ling.
Mo Ling bent slightly and asked, "Yin Chu Jiu, are you awake?"
"Mo Ling?" Yin Chu Jiu was somewhat surprised. He looked around the room, but Yue Ling was not there.
"Yes, it's me." Mo Ling straightened up and said to Yin Chu Jiu in astonishment, "Please get ready, I have something to tell you."
Yin Chu Jiu wanted to ask him if he had anything to say to him, but before he could speak, Mo Ling turned and walked out the door. He had no choice but to follow him quickly, panting slightly as he said, "Wait, I'll go find Yue Ling first and say hello to him."
Yue Ling had disappeared, and if he returned and found him not in the room, he would be worried. Thinking of this, Yin Chu Jiu wanted to go back and leave a note, but Mo Ling stopped her, "No need, he has his own things to do."
His movements were somewhat forceful, and Yin Chu Jiu was stunned for a moment before realizing that Mo Ling's expression was very cold.
Ignoring Yin Chu Jiu's astonishment, Mo Ling grabbed his arm and left the room. Yin Chu Jiu was no match for Mo Ling's strength, nor was he as strong, so he was pulled to another quiet room in the inn with almost no effort from Mo Ling.
Once inside the room, Mo Ling closed the door.
Yin Chu Jiu took two steps back. He understood what was going on. "You deliberately sent Yue Ling away and brought me here."
Seemingly unsurprised that Yin Chu Jiu had figured it out, Mo Ling nodded without surprise, "Yes."
"Why?" Yin Chu Jiu frowned, his expression somewhat unpleasant. He paused, then hesitated before saying, "You still hate me?" He couldn't think of any other reason besides that.
Mo Ling shook his head. "No."
"no?"
"Um."
If not this, what other reason could it be? Yin Chu Jiu stared at the tall young man standing at the door, unable to understand why he was doing this. However, while he was sizing up the young man opposite him, the young man was also sizing him up. His gaze was filled with doubt, as if something was troubling him, something he found difficult to understand.
He took a step forward and said, "Why did you approach the Lord?" "Lord" was the common way Yue Ling's subordinates addressed him.
Yin Chu Jiu didn't expect Mo Ling to ask this question. He lowered his eyes and gave the answer he had given many times before, "Because this is what I owe him."
"Then why..." Mo Ling looked even more puzzled. He asked again, "Then why did you want the Lord to fall in love with you?"
"What?"
"Leave the lord, don't stay by his side." Ignoring Yin Chu Jiu's doubts, Mo Ling said directly.
Yin Chu Jiu stared in astonishment, her mouth slightly agape. She couldn't understand what Mo Ling meant by leaving Yue Ling.
"Why? Are you afraid that Yue Ling will regret being with me after she regains her memories?" Yin Chu Jiu guessed.
Mo Ling frowned. "No."
"You think I'm not good enough for Yue Ling?"
"no."
"You think that since Yue Ling and I are both men, we can't be together."
"no."
It's nothing at all, so why is that?
His astonished expression was so obvious that Mo Ling was about to explain when, at that moment, a voice calling Yin Chu Jiu's name came from a room in the distance. It was Yue Ling.
The sound was getting closer and closer; it seemed they were almost there.
Yue Ling, who was too concerned about Yin Chu Jiu, didn't find Zhen Bao, who should have been in his room, after returning home, so he immediately went out to look for him.
Frowning, Mo Ling had no choice but to give up this opportunity, hastily leaving behind the words, "The lord cannot like you, and you cannot like the lord either," before turning and leaving.
Why? What does it mean that he can't like Yue Ling, and what does it mean that Yue Ling can't like him? They both like each other, so why can't they like each other? Can there be other restrictions on liking someone? Is it necessary to stipulate that one can like someone and one cannot like someone?
Yin Chu Jiu's head was throbbing from Mo Ling's nonsensical words, and a faint anger was rising in her heart.
The matter of liking someone is only between him and Yue Ling, and has nothing to do with anyone else.
No one can decide whether he and Yue Ling can like each other.
If he wasn't worried that Yue Ling would regret being with him after regaining her memories, then what reason would Mo Ling have to stop his relationship with Yue Ling?
Mo Ling had no idea what he and Yue Ling had gone through together, nor did he know what decisions he had made, or why he was allowed to leave Yue Ling.
Yin Chu Jiu wanted to talk to Mo Ling, but before he could do anything, Mo Ling opened the door, and at the same time, Yue Ling appeared there.
Not only that, but he also had a young girl by his side.
The girl was stunningly beautiful, following closely behind Yue Ling. Her bright eyes were filled with Yue Ling's image, and she looked shy.
That is...
"Yue Ling, this is a girl from our organization. She's quite capable. Please let her stay by your side to take care of you." Mo Ling walked up to Yue Ling and said respectfully, "Her name is Yun Miao. You can tell her anything you need."
Yin Chu Jiu stared blankly at the girl, her mind subconsciously reciting the girl's information.
Yun Miao, Yue Ling's admirer, was a girl Yue Ling rescued from a small family during his revenge. She eventually followed Yue Ling into the Lingyue Palace and became a member of the palace, making her a loyal supporter of Yue Ling.
In male-oriented fantasy novels, female characters are never in short supply. Naturally, the novel "The Great Sage of Illusions" is no exception.
Yue Ling, as a male protagonist in a male-oriented novel, and one who is also very handsome, naturally had many scenes arranged for him to meet beautiful women by Yin Chu Jiu. Although the male protagonist, who was already cold-hearted at the time, was not moved, it did not mean that no woman was moved by him.
As mentioned earlier, the heartless and desireless male protagonist broke the hearts of many women, one of whom was Yun Miao.
Unlike the black cat's identity within Lingyue Palace, Yunmiao is a genuine perk for the male protagonist and the readers. Besides Yunmiao, there are several other female characters who are all deeply in love with the male protagonist but are rejected by him.
What does Mo Ling mean by having Yun Miao serve Yue Ling? Does he want Yue Ling to fall in love with someone else?
While recalling Yunmiao's information, this thought suddenly popped into Yin Chu Jiu's mind, and she almost laughed out of anger.
Absurd, utterly absurd.
What is Mo Ling thinking? What is he doing?
"Chu Jiu, come here."
As Yin Chu Jiu was thinking, he suddenly heard the boy calling him. He snapped out of his reverie and walked over with mixed feelings.
As he walked, he kept looking at Yun Miao. Yun Miao was not yet fully grown, but her small, delicate face, big, round eyes, and rosy lips already hinted at her future stunning beauty.
Mo Ling is truly ruthless. Not only did he come to warn him, but he also arranged a competitor for him so quickly. Yin Chu Jiu felt a pang of sadness, and her mouth even seemed to taste bitter.
Just then, his hand was suddenly tightened, grabbed forcefully, and pulled aside. Yin Chu Jiu cried out in pain. He looked up and met Yue Ling's cold and gloomy eyes. The boy's face was expressionless, but his eyes were unfathomable.
"Is she really that pretty? You can't take your eyes off her like that?" Yue Ling's joy vanished instantly. She pulled the boy into her arms, pinched his cheeks, and wouldn't let him look at the girl. "Come here, don't look at her."
Yue Ling's grip was incredibly strong; he had never grabbed him so tightly before, and it hurt Yin Chu Jiu a little. However, Yue Ling didn't let go. Instead, he coldly looked at the girl standing beside him, his voice chillingly deep, "Get out of here!"
Yun Miao was startled, her body trembled, and her face turned pale. She glanced at Mo Ling in a panic, and only after seeing him nod did she leave.
After Yun Miao left, Yue Ling was still not satisfied. He said in a deep voice, "She's just a maid who serves you. Her face is small and thin, her body is as weak as a chick, and her face is as white as a ghost. What's so good about that kind of woman? Is she as good-looking as me? Is she as good-looking as me? Who gave you permission to look at her!"
To be fair, Yun Miao is very beautiful, but when it comes to Yue Ling, she seems so ugly that she can't even look at her.
After Yun Miao left, Yin Chu Jiu finally came to his senses from the pain. He followed Yue Ling's words to sort out the current situation and was somewhat surprised to realize that Yue Ling had misunderstood that he was interested in Yun Miao, and that's why the boy got angry.
Having understood Yue Ling's meaning, Yin Chu Jiu almost laughed.
Yin Chu Jiu, who had just been jealous as well, blinked and obediently leaned against Yue Ling, quickly declaring her loyalty, "No, I don't like her. She's not as pretty as you, nor as capable. I don't like her at all." After a pause, he gritted his teeth and continued, "I think she's only with you because she's by your side. I'm afraid you'll like her."
So, we're both jealous of each other.
Yin Chu Jiu spoke bluntly, and Yue Ling, not being stupid, understood what he meant after a moment's thought. Having grasped Yin Chu Jiu's meaning, Yue Ling paused, his eyes widening slightly; he looked quite astonished.
This...this is the first time Yin Chu Jiu has said he's jealous, and it's also the first time Yin Chu Jiu has shown that she cares about him.
A blush appeared on Yue Ling's face, which was very noticeable on his fair skin, making him look even more handsome.
Yue Ling, who often teases Yin Chu Jiu, is surprisingly innocent in some ways.
After a while, Yue Ling hurriedly released Yin Chu Jiu's wrist, frowned and stared at the hand that he had gripped so tightly that it was bruised and purple, and said in a deep voice, "I hit you a little too hard, does it hurt?"
Yin Chu Jiu shook her head and smiled slightly, "It doesn't hurt."
“That girl is a maid who serves others. Mo Ling said that they both have no one to serve them, so he asked me to choose someone. I didn’t want you to tidy up the room and the others by yourself, so I just picked someone randomly.” Yue Ling hugged Yin Chu Jiu, resting his forehead on his shoulder, and said with some self-reproach, “I won’t choose anymore, it’ll just be the two of us.”
He had intended to follow Mo Ling's advice and choose someone to serve her so that Yin Chu Jiu wouldn't be so tired. He shouldn't have thought that way; they didn't need anyone else, just the two of them were enough.
Everyone else is superfluous.
Yin Chu Jiu hugged Yue Ling back and said, "Yeah, it's just the two of us, and I'm not tired."
It turns out that Mo Ling used this excuse to send Yue Ling away. He knew that Yue Ling cared about him a lot, so he used this excuse to get him to leave.
Mo Ling was still standing to the side. Yue Ling released Yin Chu Jiu and frowned slightly as she said to him, "Thank you for your kindness, but we don't need those girls."
Yue Ling's straightforward refusal surprised Mo Ling. He paused for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Perhaps Mo Ling had some reasons for doing this, but Yin Chu Jiu couldn't understand them.
After this incident, Yin Chu Jiu stayed by Yue Ling's side, and their relationship improved somewhat because of Yun Miao's appearance.
He thought Mo Ling should give up, but the next day, a handsome young man appeared at their door.
If a girl doesn't need it, then a boy should be fine, right?
Yin Chu Jiu, having grasped Mo Ling's subtext: "..."
Author's Note:
Mo Ling wants to separate Yue Ling and Yin Chu Jiu (he won't use forceful methods), but the author's main purpose is still to promote their relationship. Incidentally, cough cough, I'll also mention the jealousy trope I've been swooning over for a while~
