Chapter 5 Nonsense
"Don't pretend to be dead now that you're back! Treat me now..."
Gu Yuan desperately conveyed his anger and command with his eyes, cursing even more fiercely in his heart: "After having fun, you just pat your butt and leave? There's not even any 'after-sales service'? After the deed, don't you even bother to clean up the mess for me?
You only know how to feel good! Are you still a man? No, are you still a male ghost? The worst of the scum! "
…
Ji Yunzhou knew that he was in the wrong and looked at his pale little face which was wet with sweat.
The slender fingers moved slightly.
Gu Yuan felt cold fingers stroking the back of his neck, and the pain receded like a tide.
"Feeling better?"
Ji Yunzhou's low, magnetic voice, tinged with teasing, rang directly in his mind, and only he could hear it.
Gu Yuan glared at him fiercely and cursed silently with his mouth: "Scumbag!"
Scumbag!
Ji Yunzhou looked at his angry expression, but the corners of his mouth curled up in a meaningful arc. Gu Yuan's angry look was very interesting.
To Gu Yuan's surprise, Ji Yunzhou actually floated quietly beside him for the next three hours.
Watching the flames devour the coffin bit by bit, watching the wood turn into charcoal, watching the villagers sweat profusely under the scorching fire but not daring to leave.
He didn't say a word, didn't even glance at him, and didn't talk back to him.
snort!
Gu Yuan sneered in his heart, is this a guilty conscience?
Do you know you are in the wrong?
Why are you pretending to be so honest?
The fire finally died down, leaving only charred charcoal and scattered bones.
With the help of the village chief, Gu Yuan used tongs to carefully pick up the charred remains of Grandpa Lin piece by piece and placed them in the rough urn.
Ji Yunzhou continued to follow him in silence.
When Gu Yuan was holding the urn and walking towards the chosen cemetery at the foot of the hillside behind, he floated beside him.
He watched quietly as Gu Yuan placed the urn into the dug pit with his own hands.
When Gu Yuan sprinkled handfuls of yellow soil on the jar and slowly piled up a small grave mound, he did not leave.
Finally, Gu Yuan bowed deeply to the simple wooden tombstone.
Ji Yunzhou's blurry, translucent figure actually bowed slightly and solemnly in the direction of the tombstone!
The burial ceremony was finally over.
The villagers, exhausted and with mixed feelings, walked slowly along the path towards the village, talking in low voices in groups of three or four.
The noise faded away, and only the sound of the wind and a few sporadic bird calls remained on the hillside.
Gu Yuan was in no hurry to leave.
He stayed alone in front of the new grave, staring blankly at the tombstone still with new wood stumps.
The sunlight stretched his shadow very long, making him look particularly lonely.
He is really the only one left in this world. He doesn't want to go back to the Gu family because they don't want him anyway.
My mind was in a mess. Sometimes I saw Grandpa Lin’s kind smile, and sometimes I saw the chaotic scene of last night.
And there's this haunting male ghost next to me...
Ji Yunzhou's attitude towards Grandpa Lin is so strange.
"Do you know Grandpa Lin?"
Gu Yuan suddenly asked the question in his mind.
Ji Yunzhou floated to his side, his black robe swaying silently in the wind:
"Yeah. It was a long...long time ago."
He paused, as if recalling something: "I was once seriously injured and nearly lost my soul. It was him... who helped me."
After another pause, he added, his tone lacking any emotion: "So, this time, I... agreed to the deal he proposed."
Gu Yuan suddenly realized and muttered quietly: "No wonder he was so angry when he found out he was bound by the blood contract. He must have been tricked by someone he knew!"
Ji Yunzhou: “…”
Actually...it's not that familiar.
Ji Yunzhou silently refuted in his heart.
It's just a life-saving grace that spans a long time.
Ji Yunzhou's thoughts drifted further away.
His fate with Old Man Lin can be traced back to more than five hundred years ago.
At that time, he was still a... well, a relatively "active" ghost king. He had just kicked the "nest" of an old ghost king in the neighboring territory who had offended him.
In a kind of... "post-war weakness"?
But Taoism at that time was not as decadent and lost as it is now.
There are a lot of powerful heavenly masters, and some of them can threaten his existence.
Ji Yunzhou was a top Taoist master during his lifetime, but because he knew everything about it, he knew how troublesome it would be if he was surrounded by them.
As a result, those old and powerful Taoist priests took advantage of the fact that he had just finished fighting and his strength was unstable, and launched an unethical encirclement and suppression...
Two fists cannot beat four hands, he suffered a great loss and almost died.
It was during that extremely embarrassing escape that I met Old Man Lin.
At that time, he was just an ignorant young boy picking herbs in the mountains.
That kid was stupid. Seeing him seriously injured and dying, instead of being scared to death, he said something like "even ghosts can be good or bad" and "you didn't hurt anyone, so you don't look like a bad ghost." And then...
He actually hid him secretly and escaped the Taoist's search.
In order to get away and shut the little brat up, he casually promised to fulfill one of his requests.
Who knew that this promise would be buried like a seed for five hundred years.
It wasn't until last night that it was fulfilled in this... unbelievable way.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunzhou sighed almost inaudibly.
His eyes fell on the young man beside him who looked particularly thin due to sadness and fatigue.
This little bastard... is barely the only thing his benefactor has left in the world.
Thinking back to last night's bone-melting ecstasy... and that sweet, melodious hum...
Ji Yunzhou's Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably.
A familiar, aggressive feeling of heat seemed to rise faintly from the depths of the cold soul.
Indeed... unexpectedly good.
never mind.
He thought a little self-destructively.
Because this kid was entrusted to me by my benefactor, and also because he... tastes pretty good.
He just did it reluctantly... to protect her.
Anyway, we are bound by blood contract and can’t escape.
"He gave you to me because I was the only one who could protect you from being eaten by those things."
Ji Yunzhou suddenly spoke, breaking the silence, his voice low and direct.
Gu Yuan was stunned by this sudden topic and looked at Ji Yunzhou in confusion.
"The extremely yin body, for them."
Ji Yunzhou's tone held a hint of cruel temptation: "It's a walking 'Ten-fold Replenishing Pill', a bait that exudes fatal attraction, the most delicious piece of fat in the eyes of hungry ghosts. Do you understand?"
He moved closer, and stroked Gu Yuan's face with his cold fingers, emphasizing each word: "Tang, monk, meat!"
Gu Yuan slapped his hand away: "Don't try that! Who are you trying to scare? What happened last night..."
Thinking of that crazy entanglement, Gu Yuan's face felt a little hot again.
"last night?"
Ji Yunzhou seemed to be instantly aroused by this keyword. He suddenly leaned in close, his cold lips almost touching Gu Yuan's red earlobe.
A low, ambiguous voice penetrated his mind directly: "Aren't you enjoying it too? Huh? Who was it... that hugged my neck and moaned, saying 'don't stop...'? That look... was really..."
He paused deliberately before uttering two words: "Cute."
"You're talking nonsense! How could I possibly…"
Gu Yuan was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, he was completely furious!
His entire face was red enough to look like blood was dripping out, and his ears were red enough to look transparent. He was both embarrassed and angry, and was about to open his mouth to refute.
This ghost is so shameless! He confuses right and wrong!
"How is it impossible?"
Ji Yunzhou was really amused by his aggressive and frustrated look.
The low laughter echoed directly in Gu Yuan's mind, filled with joy, and he began to talk nonsense:
"You still call me 'husband' and 'dear'~"
He pinched his throat and imitated the delicate tone, learning it perfectly:
"Your moan is so sweet and beautiful~ It makes my bones melt~"
"Shut up! Stop talking! Shut up!"
Gu Yuan was about to explode on the spot. He stretched out his hand in frustration, trying to cover Ji Yunzhou's extremely hateful mouth!
He was a head shorter than Ji Yunzhou, and the action of raising his feet and stretching his arms made it look like he was taking the initiative to move forward and kiss her.
Ji Yunzhou didn't dodge and blinked his eyes innocently.
This made Gu Yuan even more angry and embarrassed.
He pulled his hand back as if he had been scalded, and took a big step back angrily.
Try to stay away from the source of the cold and bad smell.
"Stay away from me! I'm so annoyed!"
