Fang Chaozhou glanced at his two junior brothers, and before he could open his mouth, someone stepped into the barrier.
The person walking in front is the eldest senior brother, and behind him is Xue Danrong. After the eldest senior brother came in, he looked at Fang Chaozhou with obvious disapproval in his eyes. This look immediately made Fang Chaozhou realize that his senior brother and Xue Danrong might have heard it.
He couldn't help but look at Xue Danrong.
Although Xue Danrong was wearing a veil, he felt that the other person was not in a good mood.
Junior Brothers He and Dai were instantly silenced, especially Junior Brother He, who quickly walked away from Fang Chaozhou. Fang Chaozhou was caught choreographing the scene, and inevitably felt guilty, but he didn't know how to deal with the situation, so he simply played the role of a coward and said something vaguely.
"I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep first."
He set up a small barrier for himself, hid himself inside it, took out a brocade quilt and spread it on the ground, then lay down with his back to the crowd.
He didn't feel sleepy at first, but after all, he had walked all day and stayed at home for many days. He hadn't been so tired for a long time, so he fell asleep unknowingly. When he woke up, he found someone was lying on top of him.
Fang Chaozhou was frightened and everything in front of him was dark. He thought it was a ghost and his instinctive reaction was to scream, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his lips were covered.
The hand covering his lips was very hot, and the heat spread from the palm to his face.
"Senior Brother." The low voice of the person who came made Fang Chaozhou react. In fact, even if the other party didn't speak, he would have reacted. After being frightened, he smelled the cold fragrance on the person who was pressing him.
When Fang Chaozhou found out that it was Xue Danrong, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and his tense body relaxed instantly. After relaxing, he realized something was wrong.
He...seems to be tied up.
To be precise, the upper body was tied up and the lower body was free.
Fang Chaozhou struggled and managed to free his hand from his lips. "What are you doing?"
He could only vaguely see Xue Danrong's outline, but couldn't make out his expression clearly.
"Brother, what do you think I am doing?" Xue Danrong said softly, "Brother Bai Ri didn't give me a chance to speak, so I can only do this. Tie him up so he won't hide from me."
After he finished speaking, Fang Chaozhou felt his lips being gently touched.
Xue Danrong was kissing him and even trying to force his teeth open.
But Fang Chaozhou knew that there were other people here, including his senior brother, and the noise would be too loud and they might be discovered, so he gritted his teeth. But when Xue Danrong became more and more ferocious, he really couldn't resist and couldn't help biting the other's tongue.
The tongue retracted, but the temperature of the whole body became lower.
Fang Chaozhou turned his face slightly, "Big Brother... and two Junior Brothers are here, you... you should not mess around, and... and we have nothing to do with each other."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xue Danrong's voice.
"Then let's go somewhere else. This is really not a good place to talk."
Fang Chaozhou didn't know where he was being taken. Xue Danrong grabbed him by the waist and carried him out of the barrier, with a shark band covering his eyes. Xue Danrong didn't let him see it.
"The obstruction energy is heavy at night. Brother, you have a wood spirit root, so I'm afraid your eyes will be hurt."
But he always felt that Xue Danrong was trying to trick him with this, "The obstruction was so severe at night, how could you see clearly?"
"I have a magical tool to clear obstacles." Xue Danrong replied.
"You asked the senior brother for it?"
Xue Danrong said: "No."
These two words made Fang Chaozhou stunned for a moment. Xue Danrong meant that he himself had a magical tool for clearing obstacles.
Fang Chaozhou finally felt that he was being let down. There seemed to be a tree behind him. He wanted to take off the shark band on his eyes, but his hands were tied. Now he could only move his legs, and his cultivation was also restrained by the immortal rope.
After clearing away the evil spirit, Xue Danrong's cultivation seemed to have reached a higher level. He didn't even know when Xue Danrong broke his barrier and tied him up with the immortal rope.
"Brother, why don't you ask me? You clearly have a magical tool to clear obstacles, but you still want to work with Senior Brother?" Xue Danrong's voice sounded particularly cold in the dark night. It was a coldness that Fang Chaozhou was familiar with, like the musical sound of jade colliding.
Fang Chaozhou pursed his lips and said, "Isn't it good to be on the same team with Senior Brother?"
"It's good, otherwise how could I listen to my senior brother's story about me? Senior brother, you haven't answered the questions they asked you. Tell me, who do I like?"
Fang Chaozhou shuddered violently, and he felt an extra hand on his belt.
"Brother, can't you answer?" Both Xue Danrong's voice and movements were slow and methodical. The sound of clothes rubbing against each other was infinitely amplified when Fang Chaozhou covered his eyes.
Many discordant things inevitably flashed through Fang Chaozhou's mind. This was the wilderness, and although the barrier energy was heavy, many people from their sect had come. In addition, there were also intelligent fairy grasses, fairy flowers, and monsters here. It would not be good to be encountered by them.
Besides, Xue Danrong refused to be his Taoist partner.
"If you can't answer this question, then I'll change to a simpler one. I have the same doubt as those two people. Someone spread a rumor that I like someone else. Does he like me?"
The belt fell to the ground.
Fang Chaozhou could not help but lean his body against the tree, "If you have anything to say, let's talk it over nicely. First, untie the immortal ropes on me and the shark band on my eyes."
He took a deep breath.
He gritted his teeth and changed his tone, "Xue Danrong, let me go. What kind of relationship do we have? Why do you let me be pressured like this? You think I'm easy to fool, right? You said you like me, so I have to pay attention to you. You said you don't want to be my Taoist partner, and you can just throw me aside without even informing me of what you're going to do."
The hand paused.
Fang Chaozhou knew that his behavior that day was very childish, but he really couldn't help it. That night he asked Xue Danrong why he said it was too early, but Xue Danrong didn't answer.
He thought that he and Xue Danrong loved each other and could tell each other anything. After he confessed his feelings, he would not hide anything from Xue Danrong. This was his principle, but Xue Danrong did not agree.
Although we know that the plot has deviated from the original, what if this line is twisted back?
Unlike Fang Chaozhou who was blindfolded, Xue Danrong used magic to freeze the night pearl lamp and suspended it in mid-air, enough to see the person in front of him clearly. The young man with his eyes covered had fair complexion, dark blue hair, and because he had just woken up, his long hair was a little messy and stuck to his face and neck. As he was tied up at the moment, he actually looked a bit pitiful.
Xue Danrong lowered his eyes, then raised them again. He loosened the rope that bound Fang Chaozhou, but reached out and grabbed his wrist, hugging him into his arms. "I don't think you're easy to fool, I just want to make more money."
Fang Chaozhou was about to push the other person away, but he was stunned when he heard this, "Ah?"
"My senior brother once told me that mortals need to undergo three gifts and six betrothal gifts before getting married." Xue Danrong said softly.
Fang Chaozhou felt that he understood. The marriage between cultivators can be complicated or simple. If it is simple, the two can just perform the ceremony in private. If it is complicated, they can invite guests to a banquet, announce it to the world, and marry in front of everyone. But there are still some differences from ordinary people. On the wedding day of ordinary people, the most grand ceremony is to have a ten-mile long red wedding dress, but this is often not the case in the world of cultivation. The general famous and orthodox families hold a very simple wedding without any extravagance, in order to establish the appearance of being an immortal.
Only a demonic sect like the Dark Soul Sect could make a marriage proposal so grand.
Fang Chaozhou really didn't expect that Xue Danrong would reject him for this reason.
"Why didn't you tell me that you wanted to make money? And I'm only talking like a mortal. You see, that's not popular in our cultivation world. You don't have money, but I do. I'll give you all my money."
Xue Danrong said in a muffled voice, "But when Li Yiye proposed to me, he brought a lot of things. I calculated that my own things, plus the things left by my parents, can barely tie with Li Yiye now."
Fang Chaozhou noticed that Xue Danrong was in a low mood, and immediately comforted him: "Why are you competing with him? He has lived for so many years and is from the Dark Soul Sect... Wait, let's have a tie?"
He pushed the other person away and tried to grab the shark belt, but his hand was grabbed again.
"Brother, you can't take it off."
Fang Chaozhou's mind was not on the shark belt. He tilted his head in disbelief, "Did I hear you right? You and Li Yiye tied for the things you brought last time? Aren't you a poor guy?"
He remembered that in the original novel, Xue Danrong was positioned as a poor orphan whose parents had both passed away, and who grew up with the support of his master and others.
Aren’t these poor orphans all poor?
Did the author omit a few words?
A poor orphan whose parents are both dead but has inherited a large inheritance?
Xue Danrong was stunned for a moment, "It's barely a draw."
Fang Chaozhou recalled the long list of betrothal gifts that his disciple reported when Li Yiye came to propose marriage, and he couldn't help but burp, then quickly said: "I won't lend you my money, it's still mine."
"Mine also belongs to Senior Brother." Fang Chaozhou felt a storage ring on his hand. "This is what I earned in the past month. My parents' things are stored in another place. When I return to Tianshui Sect, I will give them all to Senior Brother. From now on, all my things belong to Senior Brother."
Although Fang Chaozhou had no worries about food and clothing, and even lived much better than ordinary cultivators, he still couldn't help being dazed by such a huge fortune falling from the sky. It was not until his body suddenly felt cool that he suddenly woke up.
"You...you..." He stuttered and was unable to speak for a moment.
In contrast, Xue Danrong's voice was very calm. "I originally wanted to wait until we became Taoist partners before practicing dual cultivation with Senior Brother, but I feel that I can't wait any longer. If I wait any longer, Senior Brother will say that I like someone else."
The last sentence he said in Fang Chaozhou's ear was -
"The day I came back, I used the handkerchief that my senior brother gave me in the underground demon realm and took a cold shower."
The veteran driver Fang Chaozhou's face turned red instantly.
