Chapter 178 - Technical Excellence
He tilted his head slightly, and took the initiative to peck the slightly cool lips lightly, his voice hoarse with passion and a smile: "Brother...you are...skilled? Will you...do it again next time?"
Chu Linyuan's breathing suddenly became heavier.
He suddenly tightened his arms around Xie Zhao's waist, pressing him closer into his arms, his cold eyes fixed on him, revealing his undisguised desire and declaration.
He didn't answer whether it was a tune or not, but lowered his head and sealed it with a kiss again.
This time, it's no longer a question.
The wind from the top of the tower blows gently, carrying the warmth of the heart lamp.
Below the square, Su Tang's Star Attraction Order once again lit up with soft starlight.
A small and exquisite amulet, as if woven from starlight, slowly condensed above the token.
In the center of the amulet, a miniature star map slowly rotates, exuding an aura of tranquility and protection.
Mo Chen's gentle, smiling voice seemed to transcend time and space, resounding directly into Su Tang's mind through the Star Attraction Order: "My friend, the abyss is filled with evil spirits. This Starlight Amulet can ward off some of the cold invasion. Also... that scene just now was quite interesting. There's also an observatory at the Falling Star Sea, and the view... might be as good as the one at the top of the tower."
Su Tang held the Star Attraction Order in her hand and looked at the exquisite star amulet. Her face instantly turned red like a ripe fruit.
She quickly drew the amulet's shadow into her storage bag and stammered back to the Star Induction Order, "Senior Mo... Mo Chen! You... you're watching the live broadcast too?! The observatory... is pretty good... pretty good..."
The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, and finally she almost buried her head in her knees, leaving only her red ears exposed to the air.
The wind at the top of the tower carried the unique coolness of the edge of the abyss, but it could not blow away the hot breath between the two figures pressed tightly together on the platform.
Chu Linyuan slowly stepped back a little, his forehead still against Xie Zhao's forehead, his cold nose rubbing against the other's equally hot nose, their breaths blending together, carrying a scorching temperature.
His fingertips still lingered on Xie Zhao's lips, which were kissed until they were rosy and moist. His movements were slow and focused, as if he was describing a treasure that had been lost and found again.
Those bottomless, cold eyes clearly reflected Xie Zhao's agitated and misty face, which was surging with lingering desire and a deeper, almost drowning concentration.
"Brother..." Xie Zhao's voice was hoarse with passion and a hint of smile. His peach blossom eyes sparkled with water. He raised his head and pecked the slightly cool lips again. "Have you finished fine-tuning the talisman array? The effect... Junior Brother, am I satisfied with it?"
Chu Linyuan's breathing suddenly became heavier, and the arm around Xie Zhao's waist suddenly tightened, pressing him closer to his arms. His cold eyes were fixed on him, with an undisguised declaration in them.
He did not answer the teasing question, but lowered his head and sealed it with a kiss again.
This time, it was no longer a test or a plunder, but an unquestionable lingering feeling that confirmed belonging.
The light of the heart lamp gently enveloped them, casting two intertwined figures on the cold platform at the top of the tower, stretching them out and making them intimate.
It was not until the heavy footsteps of Tie Niu carrying star-patterned iron and Su Tang's deliberately raised voice of "Family members! Review of this year's best CP scenes in the Abyss! Reward to unlock high-definition and uncensored content!" came from the bottom of the square that the two separated with unsteady breath.
Chu Linyuan's ears were still slightly red, but he no longer tried to hide it as hastily as he did at the beginning.
He bent down very naturally, picked up the ill-fated Jinghong talisman pen that had rolled to his feet for the third time, and put it back into Xie Zhao's hand.
As he moved, his cold fingers accidentally brushed against Xie Zhao's warm palm, causing a slight shudder.
"Noisy..." The cold words, with a strong hoarseness, hit Xie Zhao's ears, but it was no longer a rebuke, but rather some kind of intimate complaint.
Xie Zhao held the talisman pen that he had lost and found again, feeling the cool touch lingering on his palm, his peach blossom eyes filled with stars of success and great satisfaction.
He grabbed Chu Linyuan's hand before he could retract it, interlocked his fingers, and forcefully squeezed his fingertips into the gaps between the other's fingers, holding it tightly.
"Brother, do you think it's too noisy down there?" He smiled like a cat that had successfully stolen some fish, shaking their clasped hands. "Then let's go down... and find them something noisier to do? It's almost New Year's, and the Abyss needs some festive atmosphere, right?"
A few days later, it was the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month.
The Immortal-killing Square has completely changed its appearance.
With the warm nourishment of Chu Linyuan's icy evil spirit and the blessing of Xie Zhao's sleepless runes, the second floor of the Talisman Array Tower has been completed.
The tower is covered with ferocious armor interwoven with red and dark gold, exuding a restrained fierce aura. The Guixu Heart Lamp on the top of the tower emits a constant, soft and warm light, like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea.
The tower was covered with pale golden talisman vines that Xie Zhao had outlined with Chenji Star Sand. At this moment, under Xie Zhao's control, the vines' talisman light flowed continuously, condensing into countless small and exquisite golden rune lanterns, which were suspended around the tower and illuminated the square.
In the center of the square, a huge bonfire was burning. The Abyss Rhino contributed by Tie Niu was placed on a special grill. The fat dripped into the fire, making a sizzling sound. Mixed with Luo Hongyi's special "Star Tear Pepper Salt" and "Nine Nether Herb" powder, the domineering and strong meat aroma dispelled all the cold and sulfur smell of the abyss.
"Left! The lantern on the left is crooked! Second Brother! Make it higher!" Su Tang ran around the square holding the photo stone, directing the suspended talisman lantern to adjust its position, her little face flushed with excitement.
