He was worried that he might do something irreversible to him, and that he would never be able to hold onto him again.
Neither of them mentioned what happened in the illusion, nor did they mention the female lead who made Rong Yu jealous both in and out of his dreams. Geng Qi thought that when they met again, he could explain everything clearly.
Seeing him lost in thought, Geng Qi hesitated before asking, "How many people did you kill the year you came of age?"
Rong Yu said, "Many."
"..."
When the eldest prince returned to the capital at the age of coming of age, it should have been a time of national celebration. However, Emperor Mingde later gave him the courtesy name "Luoyuan," which was tantamount to erasing the existence of the eldest prince of the Western Rong Kingdom.
According to Mu Shan's investigation, Emperor Mingde had never established an empress except for Rong Yu's birth mother. In the year Rong Yu came of age, the birth mothers of two princes in the harem, Ji Yun and two concubines sent to the palace by the Yan Yang Palace, all died at the same time. At the time, he thought that Emperor Mingde had plotted to kill them in order to consolidate his imperial power. Now it seems that those people were killed by Rong Yu for revenge!
The pursuit by members of the royal family on Mount Kaopan caused the separation of mother and son. The concubines in the harem were all implicated. Rong Yu's revenge was understandable, but for Emperor Mingde, the successive killings of his bedmates filled him with anger and fear.
When Rong Yu was just over twenty, he did not yet see his son as a threat. However, since his son had already joined the Tianzhi Sect, he could not and dared not kill him, so he used the name of his son to vent his anger.
Later, Rong Yu became the young sect leader of Tianzhi Sect, while the royal family gradually declined. He then wanted to find his son and strengthen the relationship between the sect and the clan.
brazen!
How could Rong Yu's mother have fallen for someone like that?
Geng Qi felt indignant for the mother and son, but did not ask any further questions.
In his youthful impulsiveness, Rong Yu killed those people to avenge his mother, which created a rift with Emperor Mingde. He must have regretted it, otherwise, he wouldn't have remained silent for so many years after the Empress died in the illusion. He actually longed for the affection between father and son, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of finding evidence and executing those women in the harem in a justifiable way.
However, the emperor's suspicion ultimately led the father and son to become estranged.
As he was lost in thought, a slight itch on his body brought him back to his senses.
Rong Yu carefully applied medicine to his wounds, then had him lie on his lap. He used his long, slender fingers to apply the ointment to his back.
Geng Qi buried his head between his arms, shrinking himself like an ostrich. The originally burning area was now covered with cooling ointment, which was a little painful, but also gave rise to some strange sensations, making his whole body feel hot.
"Is it... all done?"
Rong Yu silently recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra over and over again, suppressing the heat radiating from his body before slowly speaking: "Don't worry, I won't touch you now."
This shabby and dirty place is too much of a waste for him.
Geng Qi, unaware of his thoughts, buried his head even deeper and gritted his teeth, saying, "If you keep going like this, I won't be able to hold back anymore."
"..."
Even though this body had just done *that* once, the images from the illusion kept popping into his mind, inexplicably igniting his inner fire and making his body exceptionally sensitive.
Rong Yu's eyes were slightly red. He closed his eyes like a warrior cutting off his own arm and pulled his fingers out. A faint light flashed in his hand. Geng Qi couldn't see it, but he felt a cool sensation in that place. The pain seemed to have been removed, and the wound healed quickly.
He looked up blankly: "What did you do?"
Rong Yu covered him with his clothes, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Healing spell."
Geng Qi knelt up: "Then why didn't you use it just now?"
Seeing the unease flash across his face and then look away, Geng Qi took advantage of the situation and wrapped his arms around his neck: "Hmm? Why not use it?"
"..."
"If you can't stand it, then don't!" He couldn't stand it anymore either.
Geng Qi leaned in and kissed him: "We..."
"Clang!"
The atmosphere was just right when suddenly a heat wave swept in. After a sword rang out, the blood mist that had enveloped the Drunken Shadow Sword dissipated completely. The hilt, which had been stained blood red, gradually faded and floated on the edge of the cliff, gleaming with silver light.
"..."
How could I have forgotten about it?
Seeing that Rong Yu was also looking at him with regret, Geng Qi clicked his tongue, stepped aside, and lit two balls of purple fire in his hands. "Sooner or later, I'll throw it into the fire and re-temper it."
Rong Yu smiled helplessly, kissed him on the lips again, and then slowly got up and walked to the edge of the cliff, where he sheathed the Drunken Shadow Sword.
In a short while, Geng Qi had dressed himself again and walked to the edge of the cliff.
Are you alright?
The blade was sheathed, and the Drunken Shadow returned to its silvery-white state.
Rong Yu said, "It's alright now."
Geng Qi gently stroked the sword: "How did he get out before?"
"Drawn in by the bloody aura in this cave."
Now that it had swallowed all the blood mist, the entire cave looked much brighter.
Geng Qi looked up at Rong Yu. The light reflected from the lava below the cliff shone like fire on his handsome and otherworldly face. He remained calm as always. After hesitating for a moment, Geng Qi said, "When you almost went mad with demonic possession, I saw your memories."
Rong Yu was slightly surprised.
“We met back in Khao Phan Hill.”
At that time, one was a newborn baby, and the other was a half-grown child who had just begun to understand the ways of the world.
Rong Yu pursed his lips slightly: "Mm."
"You knew all along, why didn't you tell me?"
"You don't remember anymore."
"But I see it now."
"..."
Geng Qi said, "Your mother, and Zuiying."
Rong Yu was silent for a while before saying, "Mother is still here. Zuiying has a seal set by Master, so it's fine to carry her around."
"seal?"
"Yes, it's a scabbard."
Geng Qi looked down and realized that the current Drunken Shadow Sword Sheath was somewhat different from the one Rong Yu remembered. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I thought my grandmaster only knew how to cultivate in seclusion!"
