August 10th, Wednesday, 12:35 AM.
After the descent to the yin, poor Xiao Jiang was almost scared to death. Afterward, he said that his fragile mind had been stimulated too much, and that he needed some time to recover.
So Jiang Nan’an didn’t go back to his place, which was only about ten minutes away from “S?ntúchu?n,” but instead slept in the attic where Wei Fuyuan had stayed before.
As for Wei Fuyuan, since he had confessed his feelings to Bei Quan and Bei Quan had accepted him, this student who knew how to take advantage of the situation, went straight to Bei Quan’s bedroom.
After nightfall, this area was unusually quiet.
Bei Quan opened the window, and the only sound was the rustling of the curtains in the night breeze.
After a quick wash, Wei Fuyuan returned to find Bei Quan already lying in bed. Although the two had expressed their feelings for each other, they were still in a purely platonic relationship where they only talked and covered themselves with a blanket before going to sleep.
Wei Fuyuan had imagined a not-so-harmonious scene of himself devouring Bei Quan a hundred and eighty times already. But the young master, who had never had any romantic experience before, was fundamentally a pure virgin.
He was a giant in thought but a dwarf in action when it came to matters of the bedroom.
When Wei Fuyuan wanted to do something, he was more at a loss about how to proceed than he was nervous and excited.
——Tsk!
Wei Fuyuan wiped the water droplets from his head with a towel and glanced at Bei Quan on the bed from the corner of his eye.
In fact, in Fèng X?ngchéng City in August, the weather was already very hot. If it were anywhere else, without air conditioning, one would be awakened by the heat at night.
But “S?ntúchu?n” was an exception.
Wei Fuyuan didn’t know if Bei Quan had done something, but even after summer had begun, this house maintained a cool temperature of around 24 degrees Celsius day and night. It was even more reliable than constant-temperature central air conditioning, and there was no dryness or noise from a running air conditioner.
In such a comfortable temperature, Bei Quan usually only wore a light black or white shirt in the house, paired with slim-fitting pants…
Wei Fuyuan thought that Bei Quan looked very handsome in this outfit. He looked at him every day, every moment, and every time, he’d still feel his heart beat faster.
Bei Quan was currently lying on his side of the bed. From where he stood at the door, Wei Fuyuan could only see the raised lump of the quilt on the bed and Bei Quan’s fluffy chestnut hair on the back of his head.
Wei Fuyuan swallowed hard.
He had already imagined the beautiful body of someone only wearing thin clothes under the quilt.
——Damn it!
Wei Fuyuan regretted it in his heart.
——It’s such a great opportunity, why hasn’t the lubricant I ordered arrived yet!
Wei Fuyuan dropped the half-dried towel and walked to the bed, pretending to be calm.
“Ahem, it’s getting late.”
He tried to make his expression look more upright.
“We’re going to Zhu Ling’s secret realm tomorrow, right?”
Wei Fuyuan glanced at Bei Quan and quietly clenched his fist. “I mean, I’m going home with you…”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Bei Quan didn’t turn around, still lying with his back facing him. It seemed like he was busy sending messages on his Nokia brick phone, but from the tone of his voice, Wei Fuyuan felt that Bei Quan must be laughing.
“You can come and sleep.”
Wei Fuyuan heard this, reached out, and lifted the quilt, preparing to go to bed.
However, the next second, he stiffened in place.
Only one desk lamp was on in the room, and the light was dim.
But even so, Wei Fuyuan could see it.
He was sure it wasn’t his imagination.
Under the quilt, there was a beautiful body that was glowing with a pale luster.
This was the sweetest and most tempting scene that Wei Fuyuan had imagined countless times in his mind.
Unfortunately, when the dream came true, the shock was too strong, and he had a feeling of surreality as if he had fallen into a dream.
“Come here.”
A snow-white arm reached out and gently rested on the hand that Wei Fuyuan had clenched into a fist.
“I was going to wait for you to make the first move.”
Bei Quan smiled lightly, and then said something that hurt Wei Fuyuan’s self-esteem:
“But you’re too cowardly.”
Wei Fuyuan: “!!!”
He was about to retort, but Bei Quan spoke first and continued:
“We’re going back to the Zhu Ling secret realm tomorrow. I don’t know how Master will look at you, or what he’ll say to me.”
Bei Quan deftly pried open Wei Fuyuan’s clenched hand, and intertwined his own slender fingers into his lover’s fingers.
“So, why don’t we just do it tonight…”
Bei Quan tightened his fingers, interlocking his fingers with Wei Fuyuan’s, and smiled and winked:
“…What do you think?”
Wei Fuyuan: “!!!!”
Bei Quan had already said so much, what else could they do?!
Wei Fuyuan only felt the blood rushing uncontrollably to his brain, his heart began beating faster, and the sound of his pulse was like thunder, shaking his eardrums.
The next second, Wei Fuyuan followed his instincts, didn’t think about anything. He? threw off the blanket, rolled over, and jumped onto the bed…
……
————————–
August 10th, 9:45 am.
Today, Bei Quan and Wei Fuyuan are going to the Zhu Ling secret realm.
As the spirit of the Zhu Ling secret realm, and the watcher of Bei Quan’s activities in the human world, Zhu Ling naturally has to go back with them.
Jiang Nan’an and Tian Jiaxin were arranged to stay at ‘S?ntúchu?n’ to prevent any emergencies while they were away.
“Today is already Tuesday.”
Before leaving, Jiang Nan’an checked his phone’s calendar and asked:
“Can you come back before Thursday at midnight? Or will this week’s [Thriller Night Talk] be suspended once?”
“It’s okay, we can make it.”
Bei Quan smiled and waved his hand, “The time flow in the Zhu Ling secret realm is slower than in the human world, you won’t have to wait too long.”
Jiang Nan’an nodded:
“Okay, I got it.”
“Oh, by the way.”
Bei Quan took out a yellow talisman folded into a triangular package from his coat and handed it to Jiang Nan’an.
“If the people from ‘Special Seven’ contact you these days, give this to them.”
Jiang Nan’an carefully took the talisman package.
Although he was half a Buddhist, he recognized this thing in his hand.
It was a kind of Taoist talisman commonly used, which can store a message inside, and could be heard by opening the talisman package.
Then, Bei Quan opened his black suitcase and pulled out two talismans from a large pile of them.
“If there is anything urgent, you can use it to contact me.”
Bei Quan also handed the talisman paper to Jiang Nan’an:
“They can pass through the formations and barriers of the Zhuling secret realm.”
He paused and asked:
“You know how to use them, right?”
Jiang Nan’an nodded, indicating that he knew how to use them.
—————————
After preparing everything, Bei Quan, Wei Fuyuan, and Zhuling set off.
The two of them had a lot of fun last night, but they ultimately failed to take the final step due to lack of preparation.
However, after working together, Wei Fuyuan still felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. It was as if he had drunk a whole bottle of honey. From the moment he woke up, no matter what he was doing, he couldn’t help but have a sweet smile on his face.
And Bei Quan also seemed to enjoy Wei Fuyuan’s kisses and caresses very much.
When Bei Quan looked at his little boyfriend, Bei Quan’s smile would be more obvious and tender. This made Wei Fuyuan’s cheeks hot and his heart melt, and he wished he could just tackle Bei Quan right then and there and have a few hot passionate rounds of sex with him.
“We have set the entrance to the Zhuling Secret Realm in a safe and hidden place.”
Bei Quan explained to Wei Fuyuan, saying that he could think of the Zhuling Secret Realm as a fragmented space similar to Xuanmen Village.
It is independent of the mundane world, yet it has countless connections to the human world.
“A long time ago, someone stumbled into the Zhuling Secret Realm by accident.”
Bei Quan smiled and said, “But now that the Zhuling Secret Realm is in the hands of our master, the formation seal is very complete, and outsiders can’t enter or exit easily…”
As Bei Quan said this, Zhuling next to him suddenly sneered.
Bei Quan and Wei Fuyuan turned to look at her.
The girl with a long ponytail walked coldly, saying:
“Unfortunately, no matter how many formations and seals there were, someone still managed to steal the Lost God Banner.”
Wei Fuyuan knew about the incident of the Enchantment Banner being stolen.
At that time, however, he had only recently become Bei Quan’s assistant, and Bei Quan had not yet fully regarded him as ‘one of his own’, so he naturally hadn’t explained the situation very clearly to him.
This time, Zhuling actually took the initiative to bring it up. While Wei Fuyuan was surprised, he couldn’t help but become curious.
He hesitated for a moment on whether or not he should ask more about it.
But, Bei Quan naturally continued with Zhuling’s lead.
“Yes, someone stole the Enchantment Banner.”
Bei Quan said:
“The thief broke through the master’s barrier and seal from the inside and disappeared with the Enchantment Banner without a trace…”
Wei Fuyuan: “Ah, this…”
“You guessed it right.”
Bei Quan turned to Wei Fuyuan and admitted straightforwardly:
“It was indeed an inside job.”
Wei Fuyuan swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously:
“Then…you should have found the thief who stole the Enchantment Banner?”
“Well, we do know who did it.”
Bei Quan smiled:
“There aren’t many ‘people’ in the Zhuling Secret Realm. There was only one person who disappeared with the Enchantment Banner.”
Wei Fuyuan asked again, ”Did you catch him?”
“No, that person is very good at hiding himself.”
Bei Quan shook his head, a regretful smile on his face.
“He was like a drop of water falling into a lake, disappearing without a trace.”
Wei Fuyuan: “…”
He knew very well how powerful Bei Quan was.
Moreover, Bei Quan also knew the “Special Seven,” a group of special industry civil servants who sounded very powerful just by their name.
Moreover, since he could be Bei Quan’s teacher, the ‘master’ he was about to meet must be a world-renowned expert with even higher cultivation.
If these people couldn’t find the whereabouts of the thief, then the thief’s methods must have been extremely sophisticated!
“Don’t worry.”
Bei Quan knew Wei Fuyuan too well and easily read his expression. “Recently… we have caught onto his tail.”
“What? Recently?”
Wei Fuyuan blinked and suddenly realized,
“You mean, Zhu Hongtao?!”
“Correct.”
Bei Quan smiled and nodded, “More accurately, it’s the person who had taken over Zhu Hongtao’s body.”
