Chapter 37

“…” Wu Yanfu covered up the odd state below his abdomen with one hand and used the other to grab Bai Tan’s hand that tried to reach over to check his meridian. His brain was already swollen and at an extremely unbearable stage, he spat out a word with great difficulty, “Scram.”

Once the word left his mouth, Bai Tan’s face changed. As if those old wounds of the past that had been hidden in his heart for years, were forcefully scraped open by someone else, he suddenly felt a sharp, unbearable pain. He raised his hand, wanting to slap Wu Yanfu, “Someone like you dare to tell me* to scram?”

Before the last word’s sound had even disappeared, his other hand was also caught tightly by Wu Yanfu. The palm of his hand flitted past the other’s cheek, then it passed by his brow, the bridge of his nose, and stopped at his lips for a moment; almost as if he wanted to kiss him. But right in the next instant, it was snatched away immediately.

Bai Tan struggled loose of his hands, and took a step back, Wu Yanfu stood up and quickly turned his back to him.

It was almost like that year, there was just a one-step distance between the master and discipline, yet they seemed to be worlds apart.

Seeing the other had the intention of escaping again, Bai Tan leaped up and chased after. The desire to fight burned inside of him, just wanting to fight with this person satisfyingly. So, he went and used “Zhu Tian Hua Mo Zhang” to attack his back. Wu Yanfu twirled his body to dodge it, his elbow blocked off the other’s arm skillfully. Then he reached out his hand and faked a gesture to grab the other’s Tangling Cover[1].

Seeing him using a killing move, Bai Tan was frightened for a moment, but he didn’t want to show any weakness, so he used all his power in one palm to welcome it. As the two’s palms crashed into each other, he felt that the other hadn’t used any neili at all. So that hit was like striking a stone with an egg, then all he saw was the white-haired male being slammed down many feet away, by him. He crashed into one of the pillars of the stone temple, the stone pillar instantly broke into pieces. One corner of the stone temple fell instantly, and actually fell onto the male below, pinning him down harshly.

Bai Tan was shocked and had just realized that this person didn’t want to hurt him at all, so he quickly raced over and broke the pieces of rocks away with his hands. He found the male below with fresh blood all over the upper half of his body, as the lower part of his body was still under half of the stone pillar, he hit it with one palm. Demolishing the pillar that was as thick as a person, and bent over to lift the other by his neck.

“Hey, how are you?”

“…” Wu Yanfu kept his eyes closed, not wanting to reply.

Bai Tan reached out a hand to check his nose for breathing, the tip of his finger unintentionally flitted passed his lips.

“…” Wu Yanfu held his breath.

The little one still hadn’t left…might as well let him think he was dead.

Bai Tan was greatly shocked, and held the other’s wrist, going to check his meridian.

Wu Yanfu stopped the blood flow inside himself, making it unable to move at all.

Bai Tan remained stunned for a bit, then bent down with an undying will, he strongly endured the desire to lick his blood and placed his ear up against Wu Yanfu’s heart. His soft and thin strands of hair fluttered past the other’s chin and it lit up a tickling sensation that burned his heart and melted his bones.

“Thump, thump, thump, thump…”

Wu Yanfu’s heart beat crazily fast and chaotic.

Bai Tan exhaled, and furrowed his brows as he looked at the person’s face, he reached out a hand to raise his eyelid. Then his wrist was grabbed harshly, the man’s tightly shut blue eyes suddenly opened, he stared at him coldly with quick and uneven breathing, “You’re still not leaving?”

“You think I* would care whether you were dead or alive? If it weren’t for your blood…so much has leaked out, it’s truly a waste.” Bai Tan said, as he supported the other’s body, then saw a sharp rock was stuck in one of the wounds under his ribs. Blood flowed out like a fountain, he couldn’t help but be shocked and quickly pressed down on Wu Yanfu who was about to get up. He started to carefully pluck it out for the other.

This pain was nothing to Wu Yanfu.

The real torment he had to endure against, was Bai Tan being this close to him.

The young male’s natural body odor was like some kind of drug that burrowed right into his nostrils and flowed into all his organs.

Wu Yanfu’s hands curled up and grabbed tightly onto a few pieces of broken rock, he almost felt like he was gonna go crazy.

He was extremely certain in that moment, Bai Tan was his karma of this life. He’d killed his Father and Mother, was stained by many people’s blood. Yet had no enemy that could go up against him, and was able to cover the sky with one of his hands. So the heavens up above sent this little demon here to control him, to torture him.

It made him feel that it wasn’t enough that he’d only died once, he would still have to go through torture while living.

Bai Tan just couldn’t see the sight below his abdomen, and only pay attention to aiding his wound, unaware of the danger he, himself was in. His head was down, a layer of soft light could be seen on that delicately carved, jade-like face, the look was oddly alluring.

Wu Yanfu’s eyes started to get dazed, he leaned in closer to the youth’s earlobe and took in a deep breath of his fragrance. Then, the sharp rock was yanked out, Wu Yanfu’s whole body shook, and fresh blood unexpectedly stained Bai Tan’s face.

He gave his mouth one wipe and wanted to go up to lick the other’s wound, but due to pride, he just humbly sucked his own finger. But he was unaware that when such an action fell under Wu Yanfu’s eyes, it was just added fuel to the fire. He used one hand to press the youth deep into his embrace, as his lips touched against his delicate, soft, and tiny earlobe, he spoke with a raspy voice, “Do you know that…you’re playing with a fire that could backfire?”

Bai Tan was shocked by him and once he realized, he struggled to get up. Then he heard the ripping sounds of fabric, a section of his sleeve had been ripped off, and he was pushed aside harshly. The man within the stone pile stood up and immediately intruded into the half-fallen stone temple. What he heard next was the lighting-like, crashing sound, only to see a stone statue of a buddha as it flew out, and blocked the tight, little stone temple door without a miss.

Bai Tan was surprised and quickly raced to the door, “Exactly what kind of crazy stunt are you pulling?”

“Scram.” A low suppressed breath came from within, it was as if he was a caged beast who had nowhere else to escape.

“You!” Bai Tan clenched Shiyue within his hand but then changed his mind. He backed away a few steps, pretending that he’d left. But then lightly leaped and landed on the top of that stone temple without any noise heard, he leaned down to listen for anything going on inside.

Hearing that there were no sounds outside anymore, Wu Yanfu finally released his own acupuncture points and stumbled as he sat down with his back against the buddha statue. A mouthful of blood rushed up to his throat, he forcefully swallowed it back down, as one of his hands went under his abdomen.

With the whole mess caused by Bai Tan earlier, he had already missed the best time to regulate his blood flow.

So, now he could only…

The forest within the night was extremely quiet, only winds passed by all the trees, making the leaves rustle.

From a crack that split open in the stone wall, sounds of breathing slipped out and became extremely clear.

That breathing was deep and suppressed, within it was hard-to-hide sexual desires.

As another male, once Bai Tan heard it, he immediately realized what this person was doing inside the stone temple.

His appearance from earlier, could it be that he had been affected by some aphrodisiac-like drug?

Once understanding why this person was so nervous and wanted him to leave, Bai Tan shuddered with fear. Then thinking about how the other took advantage of him many times, it only added to his fear. The other’s martial skills were also above his, so if he’d been unable to endure it earlier…

He shook his head, heh, what an act. After having hidden his true power for so long, now he wanted to act like a modest person?!

Hearing the continuous, breathy sounds from inside, Bai Tan couldn’t sit still anymore and stood up, wanting to leave.

“Uh…” But then, a satisfied, muffled and raspy moan came from inside.

Knowing that the one he was thinking of was nearby, Wu Yanfu was suddenly excited to the extreme. His two sweat-covered hands moved even faster, he let himself go, as inappropriate, deep roars kept leaking out of his throat.

Tan’er, are you having fun listening? I’ll let you hear it every single night in the future.

Bai Tan jumped off the top of the stone temple as if running away in a panic after having lost. He rushed into the trees heaving, his entire backbone was softened to where there was no shape, and he only stayed upright by supporting himself against a tree. Hot sensations burned from his alluring bone as it wiggled around like a fox tail, he couldn’t help but grind against the tree, his alluring bone immediately expressed an indescribable pleasure.

“Mn!” Bai Tan shuddered and stood up straight.

His current situation, it was just like… just like a fox in heat. He even ground against a tree, what was going on…?

Bai Tan covered his face in shame, his head leaned against the tree as he felt extremely disgusted at himself.

After enduring for a while, his alluring bone still burned, and he subconsciously started to move his waist towards the tree, to grind against it.

Bai Tan was so embarrassed he wanted to die, he looked around, once he saw no one was there, he leaped into the tree. He found a thick, strong branch and lay on it and started to pleasure himself. The tree leaves made rustling noises from being shaken as if they were whispering words. The thick layers of tree shadows covered up everything, including his most secretive part, so there was no need for him to care about anything else.

Once the fun was over, Bai Tan felt really tired. He looked passed the branches and stared at the night, blanking out. He bit a piece of leaf within his mouth, as his legs draped down, unconsciously letting the pair of bare feet swing in midair.

It looked like, if his alluring bone acted up in the future…it would be fine for him to just find a tree, and take care of it…

At least a tree wouldn’t betray him, it wouldn’t harm him, it wouldn’t worry or fear, and it didn’t need his love.

It wouldn’t tempt his alluring bone to grow, so it wouldn’t shorten his life.

He reached out a hand, used the moonlight, and looked carefully at the palm of his hand.

Bai Tan thought about it then realized, his lifeline seemed to look shorter than it had yesterday.

So, every time his alluring bone that had undergone pathological changes; moved, he was closer to death.

Why did his alluring bone always move for Tian Su?

Could his heart have moved for him?

Upon thinking that thought, Bai Tan was immediately shocked.

How could that be possible?!

Just as his thoughts spiraled into a crazy mess, suddenly, a noise attracted his attention. It was the sound of someone walking over the grass field. He sat up alarmed and looked at the direction of the sound, “Who’s there?”

“It’s subordinate.” A familiar voice replied, walking out from the tree shadows. Li Wuzhang moved aside a tree branch and walked to the tree where the youth was, it seemed like they had returned to a time from years ago.

That time, when he’d delivered wine for Shizun, sometimes he would see Bai Tan hiding in that epiphyllum flower tree just like this, looking like a cat. Then later, he slowly realized that when Bai Tan was either angry or sad, indoors, he liked to cover himself up with a blanket. As for outdoors, he liked to be in a tree. He’d come out earlier and searched for him for a long time, yet had still been unable to find him, then realized that a nearby tree was moving with no wind, then discovered Bai Tan was, as expected, in a tree.

But…he’d also accidentally seen some stuff he shouldn’t have.

“When did you come?” Bai Tan stared at him, interrogating with a low voice.

“This subordinate heard noises here from far away, then found the Sect Leader…” Li Wuzhang didn’t dare look straight at Bai Tan’s eyes, as he couldn’t shake away that lustful scene from earlier, he couldn’t help but be joyed that he wore masks. “Why did the Sect Leader ran out by himself in the middle of the night? This subordinate thought something had happened.”

“It was nothing big.” Bai Tan tightened his belt and jumped down from the tree. He looked in the stone temple’s direction, then remembered that person who had fallen into the water; and said, “Come with me to see.”

“Mn.”

The two went back to the lakeshore the ship had passed by earlier, but there was no trace of the person who had fallen into the water.

Not being able to rest assured of the person within the stone temple, Bai Tan returned with Li Wuzhang. When they were near the stone temple, he saw a figure in front of the stone temple, their arms spread wide open, they tipped their toe and swirled around, it seemed like they were dancing. He wore purple clothing and his dance moves were extremely sorrowful. With his pale face under the moonlight, within the forest, and in front of the ruined temple, he was like a lonely spirit.

After getting a good look at who it was, Bai Tan was shocked, and murderous intent instantly built in him.

The shame he’d received last time, he still remembered it as clear as day.

If he didn’t take his revenge now, what better time was there? “With moon up high, alone viewing up high, the wine taken had transformed into tears of lovesickness…” The song 《Su Mu Zhe》was sung by the male in a soft voice now. He was like a Jiao Ren[2] weeping sorrowfully in the sea, half laughing and half crying. Then lastly, it all turned into a sigh, making hundreds and thousands of turns, “Sect Leader, say, does Si You’s dance look good?”

The sect leader he spoke of was definitely not him, then it ought to be that old demon.

Bai Tan’s brows furrowed, seeing the insane looking act of Si You’s, he couldn’t help but think inside, could this man have gone mad? He turned his head and met Li Wuzhang’s eyes, then knew that the other had the same thought as him.

Even though he was a self-proclaimed brutal and cold-hearted individual, but he didn’t have the desire to bully a lunatic. So, he returned Shiyue back into his sleeve.

“From your young days and up, you always liked to see Si You dancing the most. This dance, Si You has been choreographing it for three years, yet before I was able to perform it for you, you were already dead. Wait til Si You finishes this dance, then he will follow after you.”

As he finished, his steps suddenly sped up, looking like he was doing the Huteng Dance that was as fast as the wind. Three thousand strands of his raven hair was loose, and the clothing on him was ripped to pieces from the fierce winds that exploded from his body. It was almost like hundreds of birds spreading their wings, taking off.

It turned out to be an act of suicide.

Then, with a rumbling sound, noises came from within the stone temple. A slender, tall figure leaped out and landed in front of Si You, his hand moved like lighting and sealed the other’s points. Then Si You acted like all his bones had been pulled out, as he gently fell into the white-haired male’s embrace, his two hands wrapped around the other’s neck, in that moment, the two seemed to be intimate to the extreme.

Bai Tan couldn’t help but be stunned, his foot was heavy and broke a branch it stepped on.

Wu Yanfu raised his eyes to look over, and upon seeing the figure within the trees, his pupils shrunk.

“Sect Leader…as expected, you still couldn’t abandon me.” Si You mumbled like a mosquito and rested his head against the man’s strong shoulder, satisfied, “You weren’t willing to see me die this sorrowfully, wasn’t that it?”

Wu Yanfu covered the lips of the person within his embrace and sent the heart-cleansing spell into his ears with a low voice. Once the other’s breathing became even, he then carried the other.

“Sect leader…this yao ren…” Li Wuzhang started suspiciously, “How does he know Si You?”

How? Isn’t this super easy to see?

A rush of anger surged up in his heart and burned bright and fiercely, Bai Tan clenched tightly onto Shiyue as he walked from the forest, closer and closer towards the two people in front of the stone temple, “So…you two were together, putting on an act in Loulan!”

He finished, then jumped, attacking with the hook.

Wu Yanfu hung tightly onto the person in his embrace and used qinggong to quickly dodge. Bai Tan saw how this person protected Si You so dearly, he didn’t know why but just felt that it was extremely eye-piercing, the anger within his heart burned even greater. His murderous intent also increased rapidly as he leaped up, that one swing of his went for Si You’s head, straight on target without a miss. Wu Yanfu dodged it extremely fast, but the sharp wind produced by the blade suddenly split open a bloody wound on the side of Si You’s neck, instantly, blood rapidly flowed out.

With a missed hit, Bai Tan turned and attacked again. Wu Yanfu flicked out a needle, piercing right into the opening underneath his armpit. His blade swayed and slipped passed Wu Yanfu’s back, cutting off many strands of white hair. In the instant of their shoulders passing, Bai Tan used his other hand to grab the tianling cover of the person in his embrace. But he received a shock from the other’s palm coming at his face when the other stopped and as his palm flitted past his cheek, it gave him a harsh slap; with no mercy, bringing sharp, burning pain upon him.

Li Wuzhang chased after closely, he transformed into a cloud of black mist to ambush the other, but he seemed to have a pair of golden eyes. A golden needle pierced into his yu fu point, within the blink of an eye, he broke the other’s illusion. The wind within his palm seemed like it could break bamboo and with “papa” sounds, he granted him two slaps. Just as if he was disciplining his junior, beating the other up to a pathetic state as he fell to the ground.

Bai Tan held onto his cheek, his fingers cracked loudly. Shiyue, within his hand, acted like a venomous python, its cold air burst out, he saw Wu Yanfu turn and jump over the stone temple with the intention of leaving, just like that. He was just about to chase after, but a sharp pain came from his alluring bone and instantly, it spread throughout his whole back, making him kneel down right then and there. He reached out a hand to press down on his alluring bone, but just felt that there was a poisonous thorn there that stabbed at him brutally.

“Uh, hurts…” He bit into his lips and whimpered unbearably.

Since he was little, he had always been very fragile and was extremely afraid of pain. After the Yue Yin Palace incident, he viewed pain inflicted upon his body like viewing wild beasts. He wasn’t really scared of death, but he really couldn’t stand against this type of sharp pain and so immediately, tears leaked out.

Li Wuzhang came back to his senses, and quickly supported Bai Tan up, seeing his face covered in tears, looking as if he was in extreme pain, he instantly panicked. He used his sleeve to wipe his face and spoke softly, “Sect Leader, what happened to you?”

“Hurts…I’m definitely about to, about to die…” Bai Tan curled up his body and started to sob.

“Peh, what foolish things are you saying?!” Li Wuzhang’s heart melted into a puddle of water, he took the small, fragile youth into his embrace and stood up. He felt like the other was as light as a piece of paper, and he would be gone with a gust of wind.

“Don’t be afraid, this subordinate will take you back to the ship.”
