Chapter 39
Lin Queli trembled all over.
In the howling wind and snow, Lin Queli and Helan Xue sat face to face in the pool. Lin Queli’s undergarment was still completely on, but the collar had slipped down in the struggle, revealing his flushed, slender shoulders, and his hair had long been blown into a mess by the wind and snow.
Helan Xue’s situation was not much better than Lin Queli’s. The main event had not yet begun, but the wind and snow had just started, and Lin Queli had already pulled his robes into a mess.
But at least on the surface of the water, everything seemed to be on the right track.
But only the two of them knew that it was already a mess under the water.
“Sob, sob, sob… Shizun, no!”
Helan Xue held down the still resisting, tear-streaked Lin Queli and said coldly, “Why not?”
“Because, because…” Lin Queli was a little dazed and said blankly, “Because… Shizun’s hand is very cold.”
It was a reasonable argument, but the person who said it had no confidence at all.
Helan Xue saw Lin Queli’s confusion, and then fear.
He softened his voice and gently stroked the back of his head. “This Venerable will not hurt you.”
After Helan Xue finished speaking, he did not move, just patiently waited for Lin Queli’s next sentence.
Lin Queli panted heavily. The evil fire in his body was almost tearing him apart. Helan Xue did not make him more comfortable. He was now on the verge of going crazy.
The arrow was on the bow, ready to be released at any moment.
Lin Queli could no longer hold back and sobbed, “Then Shizun… can you be a little gentler?”
Lin Queli’s plea was very soft and light, but there was no trace of accusation in it, only trust in his Shizun.
After Lin Queli’s words fell, he felt himself being picked up by Helan Xue.
He tilted his head back and panted, his whole body trembling uncontrollably with the movement.
Helan Xue held him and said in a low voice, “Relax.”
“Sob, sob, sob…”
“Good boy.”
Lin Queli’s back was supported by Helan Xue’s hand. His fingers tightly clutched Helan Xue’s collar, the knuckles turning red from the force.
But Lin Queli was a blank sheet of paper, and at this moment, he still couldn’t complete it. Helan Xue looked around. There was nothing nearby that could help Lin Queli, except…
Helan Xue closed his eyes.
What a disgrace.
But it was not a solution to be at a stalemate like this. Helan Xue took a deep breath and took off the prayer beads from his hand.
The surface of the prayer beads was smooth, but they were very hot.
“Whoa…!”
Tears once again welled up in Lin Queli’s eyes.
Seeing Lin Queli crying so hard, Helan Xue subconsciously kissed the tears on his cheek. “Don’t be afraid. Just bear with it a little longer.”
Lin Queli stared at Helan Xue in a daze, the soft touch on his face.
He had never seen such a gentle Shizun, like water after a glacier had melted.
He was extremely annoyed that his vision was now unclear and he couldn’t see Helan Xue’s eyes.
“Shizun…” Lin Queli sobbed, “I want more kisses…”
Helan Xue’s kiss could make him feel at ease. At least… at least it showed that Helan Xue didn’t hate him, wasn’t disgusted by this, and wasn’t forced.
He didn’t want his Shizun to hate him, and he was only doing this to get rid of the poison, out of desperation.
Helan Xue stared at him, his gaze falling on those thin lips.
…What a disgrace.
Helan Xue thought this, but he granted Lin Queli’s wish.
Perhaps after taking off the prayer beads, Helan Xue felt as if he had been freed from an invisible restraint. Since things had come to this, restraint was meaningless.
He pinched Lin Queli’s chin and blocked those lips, wanting to block those voices and cries that were making him flustered.
“Mmm…”
Lin Queli felt his mouth being pried open, his soft tongue and teeth being punished. Saliva trickled down the corner of his mouth.
He felt the back of his head being pressed by Helan Xue, deepening the kiss.
As they exchanged breaths, Helan Xue let Lin Queli hug him. Lin Queli’s legs wrapped around Helan Xue’s, and his hands hung on his shoulders. Because of the discomfort, his nails left red marks and scratches on Helan Xue’s back.
Helan Xue closed his eyes.
He thought to himself that not only did he have to restrain his emotions, but he also could not dual cultivate with anyone in this life.
No one could withstand his killing intent and cultivation.
But Lin Queli was a peerless furnace cauldron. In this world, perhaps… only he could. Now Lin Queli did not cry out in pain, only because of the evil fire.
Everything seemed to be fated, starting from that day in the snowfield.
“Rumble—!”
The two were tightly pressed together, without a single gap.
So the dark thunder in the sky finally fell, striking the cave one after another.
Helan Xue protected Lin Queli in his arms and raised his hand to set up a formation.
A barrier was set up around the two, blocking one thunder tribulation after another.
The heavenly punishment formation was not to be underestimated. When it landed on the barrier, it made a huge sound. The heavens and earth shook around them, as if they were really being struck by lightning. Lin Queli was so scared he curled up in Helan Xue’s arms, only seeing the world outside Helan Xue’s shoulder flicker between light and dark.
Under the dark clouds, in the darkness, it was like falling into an abyss. The light from the lightning strikes was so dazzling that it made one feel fear, and it also made Helan Xue’s golden eyes look focused and deep.
In his daze, Lin Queli seemed to see a crack appear in the barrier.
Even though Helan Xue was half a step away from becoming an immortal, there was still a gap between a cultivator and the heavenly dao. After several hours like this, there would naturally be a flaw.
Rumble—!
Helan Xue held Lin Queli. The heavenly thunder overturned all the water around them. Lin Queli watched as the aftershock of the heavenly thunder struck Helan Xue’s back.
“Shizun…!”
“Ugh—”
Helan Xue seemed not to want him to be distracted. Lin Queli’s eyes rolled back, and he limply collapsed on Helan Xue.
Waves of cold qi from the Extreme Cold Yuan Soul poured into his body, flowing through his limbs and bones.
After that, the calm pool water of the Ice Cave Abode, which had been calm for a thousand years, was stirred up into layers of splashes and whirlpools. Even the originally bone-chillingly cold water became warm. Because the pool was not large or deep, the surface of the water even became turbid.
It was unknown how long it took for the cave to quiet down.
A night?
No…
A day? Two days?
Lin Queli was a little dazed in the end, but dual cultivating with the Extreme Cold Yuan Soul was not something that could be completed in one or two times, and…
Lin Queli didn’t know about Helan Xue, but his constitution was destined to make him unable to be satisfied quickly.
Lin Queli had cried so hard he almost stopped breathing several times in the middle, only to find that he was not satisfied and was still uncomfortable. Looking at the otherworldly Helan Xue before him, he only felt that this was too embarrassing.
When it was finally over, Lin Queli felt like he was about to faint. In his daze, he felt that Helan Xue seemed to have helped him clean his body.
“Go to sleep.”
Mmm…
Lin Queli hugged Helan Xue’s arm and fell asleep completely.
…
…
When he regained consciousness again, a festive sound of gongs and drums rang in Lin Queli’s mind.
【Congratulations, Host! Congratulations, Host!】
【First of all, congratulations on achieving a true negative distance with the seduction target, Taxue Xianzun. Reward: 520 points!!】
【Plus other intimate interactions, congratulations to the Host for now having a total of 888 points!】
My god…!
This was unprecedented wealth!
I’m rich!!
【Next, congratulations to the Host for completing the main mission and goal!! You’ve slept with Taxue Xianzun, and you didn’t even use any aphrodisiacs! Now the Host has successfully become pregnant with the Long Aotian. The mission is about to be completed!】
Lin Queli’s eyes widened.
Y-yes… he…
—He had slept with Helan Xue, ah, ah, ah!!
Lin Queli suddenly opened his eyes and looked down at his belly.
He touched it. It was flat…?
【You can’t see it now!】
Lin Queli still found it magical.
And very absurd.
Is there really… a baby inside?!
“What’s wrong?”
A voice with a hint of a smile came from above his head. Lin Queli was startled and saw that he was now lying on the stone bed, pillowing on Helan Xue’s lap.
Helan Xue looked down at him.
When their eyes met, Lin Queli trembled all over and quickly buried his face in Helan Xue’s lap.
Sob, sob, sob, sob, waaah, waaah, waaah!!!
I really slept with Helan Xue!!
Lin Queli curled up into a ball, his mind filled with indecent images.
Although he couldn’t see Helan Xue’s appearance clearly because of the poison, he could feel Helan Xue’s skin, hands, and… which were hotter than usual. Perhaps because they had been fooling around for too long, Lin Queli even felt that Helan Xue’s movements were still vivid in his mind, and that subtle and low, hoarse panting was still in his ears.
“N-nothing…”
When Lin Queli opened his mouth, he found that his throat was a little sore, and his voice was hoarse from crying. He gave a dry laugh. “That… thank you, Shizun, for helping this disciple get rid of the poison. This disciple, this disciple is fine now. I want to go back…”
If I look at him one more time, I’ll explode!
Lin Queli wanted to get up with a strong sense of guilt, but the moment he moved, he almost passed out.
“Whoa!” Lin Queli fell back down, holding his waist and hissing.
He didn’t feel it when they were fooling around, but now… his waist hurt, his legs hurt, and the unspeakable part also hurt. Lin Queli curled up into an ostrich in despair.
They had fooled around too much. Even a cultivator’s body couldn’t save him…
Helan Xue tapped the top of Lin Queli’s head. He had wanted to say something, but when he saw Lin Queli lower his head, the bite mark on the back of his neck immediately made him pause.
Helan Xue prided himself on his self-restraint. Besides doing what he should do, he didn’t do anything extra. Lin Queli had no extra wounds except for the bruises on the inside of his thighs and on his waist where Helan Xue had held him.
But when it was about to end, he couldn’t help but leave a circle of marks on that fragile neck.
Helan Xue’s fingertip touched that not-so-light, not-so-heavy wound.
“Eek, ah…!” Lin Queli trembled all over.
Helan Xue lowered his eyes and withdrew his hand.
“Shizun, I…”
Seeing that Lin Queli was very awkward and seemed not to want to face him, Helan Xue said, “Rest well.”
That’s right. I am his Shizun, yet…
Helan Xue stood up. “This Venerable will go and handle some important matters.”
The people outside should be anxious and curious about what had happened in the cave to attract such a big thunder. And Helan Xue had been missing for nearly three days, so it was time for him to show up.
After Helan Xue left, Lin Queli lay there in a daze, his hand patting his belly from time to time.
【Host! Should we be planning to run away with the baby now?】
“Huh…?”
The System was a little confused. 【Isn’t the Host going to run?】
Lin Queli swallowed hard, thinking about how receptive Helan Xue would be to him being pregnant with his child.
Probably… not.
If it weren’t for detoxifying his disciple, Helan Xue probably wouldn’t have dual cultivated with him…
Now that Helan Xue was in such a hurry to leave, could it be that he was starting to feel disgusted?
Lin Queli pouted.
And if the child was born and was found to have demonic blood, let alone himself, he was afraid that even the Long Aotian wouldn’t live to adulthood.
Lin Queli took a deep breath. “Now that I have so many points, what items can I exchange for?”
【Hmm… let me see. Yes, yes! A special teleportation array! Unlike the usual teleportation arrays in the cultivation world, this one cannot be interrupted or tracked. That is to say, as long as the Host exchanges for it, you can escape on the spot!】
Lin Queli was worried. “Can I really get away? Shizun is so powerful. I’m afraid that even if I escape to the ends of the earth, he’ll be able to track me down and bring me back.”
【The Host can also exchange for a special shielding array! As long as you activate this array, no matter how powerful the characters in this book are, they won’t be able to track you!】
Good, as expected of technology and hard work!
【So Host, when are you running?】
…When am I running?
Lin Queli was stunned.
Ah, ah, this…
【Host, don’t be reluctant. Your life is more important!】
Lin Queli said shyly, “I-I’m not reluctant! But I just finished a physical activity. Can’t you let me rest a bit? Besides…”
Lin Queli thought of a legitimate reason. “Didn’t you say that there was no other way for a furnace cauldron’s evil fire besides killing Helan Xue and taking his Extreme Cold Yuan Soul? Then how did Helan Xue use dual cultivation to suppress my evil fire now? I have to figure this out, right?”
“And, and, A’Yu’s matter hasn’t been resolved yet. He’s my backer after I run away. I have to find his clansmen first, right?”
【Oh!】
【Wow, how did the Host’s brain suddenly become so good!】
“…Get lost.”
Because he was injected by heavenly fluid..
By the way, what did seme actually do with the beads ??? It even made Lin Queli cry.. 😏
