18+ warning content; some sexual references
In the cedar forest, Lin Xin pressed Shen Lou against the tree trunk, leaning on his body and biting his lips.
Shen Lou put his arm around his waist and said, “What’s wrong?” He looked so hungry and anxious, as if he didn’t kiss him normally.
“Making up for everything that was missing in the previous life.” The deer lanterns were hung on the treetops, and the dim light reflected Lin Xin’s eyebrows that seemed to be frowning, which made people’s hearts ache inexplicably.
Shen Lou lowered his head, kissed those soft and warm lips, hugged Lin Xin with both hands, and rubbed him hard into his arms.
“Shen Qingque, I want to ask you for something,” Lin Xin rubbed Shen Lou’s lips, “You have to live longer than me in this life, okay?” Everyone left before him, parents, master, Feng Zhong. Only Shen Lou loved him the most and lived longer than him.
Shen Lou didn’t answer him, he just directly picked up Lin Xin, jumped on Yu Yuan and flew towards Fengjin.
“What to do?” Lin Xin licked his lips.
“Replenish the soul.” Shen Lou put the person on the bed and stuffed the Huangquan Pearl into Lin Xin’s hand. After the New Year, he would reach his prime. If his incomplete soul could not withstand the sudden increase in spiritual power, his lifespan would definitely be affected.
The Huangquan pearl was spinning in his hand, as Lin Xin gritted his teeth, pushed Shen Lou down on the bed, and sat on his waist. He didn’t know whether he should be moved by Shen Lou’s honesty in keeping his word, or annoyed by his incomprehensible style.
“There is only one wolf soul and one fox soul left here. They are both ferocious beasts, so we need to make some preparations,” Lin Xin said with a serious face, “What if you get affected by their bestiality and get rid of me? What to do then?”
Shen Lou, who was still a little worried at first, suddenly couldn’t laugh or cry, “Is this the beastly nature that will be shown off?” Having said that, he still stood up and took out a small jade box.
The Huangquan Pearl trapped the living souls, and they couldn’t tell who was who, so they could only choose one in with their eyes closed. Lin Xin held Shen Lou in his arms and endured the initial pain. It was already midnight when the pain subsided.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore?” Lin Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked curiously into those dark eyes, wanting to know what kind of soul he had replenished this time.
Shen Lou suddenly turned over, pressed Lin Xin under him, and bit his neck. Then the black eyes gradually gained energy, revealing a bit of bloodthirsty ferocity.
“Ah…” Lin Xin exclaimed. The bite was so painful that it must have broken the skin. “Shen Qingque, wake up. I’m not meat. You can’t eat it. Ah!” This was not what he wanted. Bestiality was flourishing in him.
While talking, he was bitten again.
“Xinxin.” Shen Lou breathed heavily while burying himself in his neck and shoulder and licking the bloody tooth mark. It was the soul of the wolf, and he really wanted to bite people right now.
“Hmm…” The area being licked felt painful and itchy. Lin Xin groaned softly, clamped Shen Lou’s waist with his legs, hugged him and bit back.
The two of them were writhing on the bed, you bite me, I nibble on you, and the taste changed with each bite.
After repairing his soul with the wolf soul, Shen Lou was much wilder than usual. He didn’t ask “if it’s okay” or “does it hurt?”, he just tore off his clothes and went straight into the alley.
Lin Xin shrank back in fright, and Shen Lou grabbed his ankle and dragged him back.
“It hurts!” Lin Xin burst into tears.
“A lot of grease has been used.” Shen Lou was a little anxious, and he didn’t dare to move.
“This is my first time with this body!” Lin Xin bit his lip and tried to relax, but he was still sweating from the pain.
Shen Lou hugged him and kissed him from the corners of his eyebrows to his neck. The body in his arms gradually softened, and he bit his ear and hummed softly, “Move.”
The instinct of the wolf soul lingered, and Shen Lou couldn’t help but bite him again. In the room as warm as spring, in addition to the gasping that made people blush and heartbeat, there were also screams that came out from time to time, which was very strange.
The two people who were so lost in love did not notice that the sky was already turning white, and people who were working at sunrise had gradually woken up.
“Bang!” The bedroom door was kicked open, and the cold wind mixed with snow particles roared in. Shen Qirui stood at the door with a face as cold as frost, and Huang Ge and Zishu knelt on the ground with sad faces.
The situation in the house was clearly visible. Shen Lou was getting dressed and washing himself with a satisfied expression, while Lin Xin was lying on the bed with scars all over his body, looking as if he was about to die.
“Father!” Shen Lou was startled and immediately pulled the quilt to wrap around Lin Xin. Lin Xin was a little confused. Why was he caught in bed by his father as soon as he fell asleep?
“Xin’er! What’s going on?” Zhu Xingli, who was following Shen Qirui, quickly ran to the bed to see Lin Xin. He pulled back the quilt, saw the marks all over Lin Xin’s body, and his face suddenly darkened.
“Woo hoo…” Lin Xin blinked and suddenly started crying, looking like he had been greatly wronged. “I gave him a soul yesterday, who knew, who knew… oh oh oh oh…”
“Beast, look at the good things you did!” Shen Qirui never expected that his son, who had been well-behaved since childhood, would do such outrageous things. This person was none other than the deadly Marquis of Lu!
“Shen Qirui, tell me what to do.” Zhu Xingli held the Spring Mark Sword at his waist, and the smile rarely disappeared from the corners of his drooping eyes.
Duke Xuan was furious and scolded his son severely, telling him to go to Beimo to fight tomorrow and not to pester Lin Xin again.
“No!” Lin Xin quit immediately, “He took my body, so he has to marry me!”
“That’s it, to put it lightly, being slept with in vain? You Shen family must be responsible!” Zhu Xingli followed. He agreed, but after saying that, he suddenly felt something was wrong, raised his hand and slapped Lin Xin on the back of the head, “You brat, you are a grown man, how can you marry him?”
“Marry.” Shen Lou looked at Lin Xin who winked at him and smiled slightly.
No matter how angry his father was, Shen Lou still took it calmly and took care of Lin Xin personally, applying medicine for him and coaxing him to sleep. Then, he invited his father to the main hall for a deep talk.
For this sudden change, the head of the Shen family, who had a clean family background, found it difficult to accept it. After Shen Lou recovered his last soul, he was sent far away to the battlefield and was not allowed to come back. While Zhu Xingli dragged his unpromising apprentice back to the capital with him.
“Are you really going to spend your whole life with that boy from the Shen family?” Zhu Xingli tugged on Lin Xin’s ears and shook them, trying to see if there was water in his head.
“Yeah.” Lin Xin lowered his head and played with the Xinghu Stone Deer, frowning slightly. They separated just after they slept together, and there was a feeling of sadness as if his husband was drafted into the army the day after the wedding. If Shen Lou hadn’t said that he would go to Beimo to help him find his parents’ ashes, he would have fallen out with Shen Qirui on the spot.
He knew that if his disciple didn’t want to, even ten Shen Lous couldsn’t do anything to him. Zhu Xingli rubbed his forehead with a headache. Everyone said that he, Zhu Yixiao, was a deviant. Unexpectedly, the disciple he wanted to teach was so talented that he not only wanted to rebel and usurp the throne, but now he also wanted to marry a man.
“If your uncle knew, he would definitely beat me to death.” Zhu Xingli was very melancholy.
Just as they were talking, the two of them had already entered the palace gate. Several civil servants came towards them, and when they saw the two men, they immediately bowed and saluted.
“Master Marquis, long time no see.” Luo Shijun, who was still dressed in cloth robes, followed the group of civil servants. Apparently he was allowed to go to court by Emperor Yuanshuo. Before spring, he went to court to discuss politics. This mortal subordinate of Marquis of Wangting could be regarded as Dayong’s first observer.
Those civil servants knew that he was favored and did not dare to offend him.
Lin Xin didn’t want to talk to him anymore and walked straight over. Suddenly he heard Luo Shijun exclaim, “Sir!”
These words were obviously not addressed to Lin Xin, but to Zhu Xingli. Luo Shijun was very excited and grabbed Zhu Xingli’s crimson sleeve, “Sir, I wonder if you still remember me. Seven years ago in Luochuan, you told my fortune.”
Zhu Xingli told his fortune. There were so many people here, how could he remember this person?
“There is a road in Penglai, but once you make a mistake, you will regret it.” Luo Shijun read out this comment word for word.
His family background was quite good, they did some business, and were considered a wealthy family in the local area. When he was young, an immortal once said that he had spiritual veins, but later said that he felt wrong, which made him always suspect that it was his stepmother who caused the trouble. He met Zhu Xingli by chance who woke him up with a word of advice. Although he let go of his resentment towards his stepmother, he was still brooding about his failure to enter the immortal world and had thus vowed to make a difference.
“It turns out it’s you.” Lin Xin took a closer look at Luo Shijun. The young man in bright and colorful clothes back then had completely changed his appearance. He had become eager to do anything and use any means necessary.
He thought this scene of “meeting an old friend in a foreign land” would be over like this, but unexpectedly Luo Shijun came to their door the next day and asked Zhu Xingli to recommend him.
“Grand Master, we are destined. The emperor has promised to give me an official position as long as I am recommended. I would like to ask you to be my recommender.” Luo Shijun received the emperor’s approval, and he felt confident, so his words were also full of confidence. After learning Yongdu’s accent, it was as if giving this opportunity to Zhu Xingli was a reward for him.
“Hey, you can eat shit randomly, but you can’t recognize relatives randomly. We have no fate.” Zhu Xingli waved his hands and said seriously.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Xingli refused so bluntly. Luo Shijun’s face turned red, he said a few random words before throwing up his sleeves and leaving.
“Tsk, it seems that Marquis Wangting doesn’t want him anymore.” Lin Xin leaned on the corridor and looked at Luo Shijun’s slightly stooped back. In any case, he was associated with the wanton young talent in the small town of Luochuan. If people stayed under low eaves for a long time, their spines would be broken.
“Is it not because of you that I went to the Marquis Wangting Pavilion’s house first and made him lose his master.” Feng Zhong, wearing the prince’s uniform of a rusty five-clawed silver dragon, walked slowly over and stuffed him with a box of snacks before Lin Xin could scold him. “It’s freshly baked, let’s try it.”
Lin Xin pouted, “I heard that you did a good job and the emperor rewarded you?”
“Hey, don’t mention it.” Feng Zhong scratched his head in distress.
At the beginning of spring, the glacier in the north burst its banks, flooding several counties, and the court had to go to provide disaster relief. The glaciers were melting and the weather was freezing, so this was a hard job. The pampered officials in the capital pushed it onto each other, and in the end, it naturally fell on the good old King of England. Feng Zhong was knowledgeable in various fields, including water conservancy, farming, and some medical skills. He directed the monks to strengthen embankments and dams, drain away the floods and settle the people before spring plowing.
This job was done so beautifully that Emperor Yuanshuo was very happy. He praised the King of England and handed him the spring affairs to take care of.
That time he stabbed the crown prince in the eye socket, and he had been causing trouble for him recently since then.
There was no need to elaborate on how important the spring hunt was. There were already rumors in the court that the emperor treated the King of England so well because he wanted to establish another crown prince instead. After all, the King of England was so close to the powerful Marquis of Lu. If the current crown prince ascended the throne, he may not be able to bring down the Marquis of Lu.
“Crash!” The crown prince overturned the short table in front of him, and the fine sky celadon tea set was shattered all over the floor. “Rebuilding the Luqitai? Is father raising the Marquis of Lu as his own son?”
“Your Highness, be careful of what you say.” The East Palace official quickly comforted him. Now that Zhong Youyu had gone back to be the Duke, there was no one around the prince to tell jokes and amuse him, and their life had become even more difficult.
The crown prince paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. No one expected that the young Lin Xin would handle his errands so perfectly, and he would collect more than twenty counties in one annual tribute, far exceeding Emperor Yuanshuo’s expectations.
Luqitai, as a fiefdom given to Lin Zhenghan in the early years, had fallen into disrepair and had long become uninhabitable. This time, in order to reward Lin Xin, Feng Zhuoyi ordered people to rebuild Luqitai according to the regulations of the palace. Although it was said to be due to the regulations of the palace, in fact, the actual area of the Luqitai building was less than one-third of the palace, so it would not cost so much money.
But in any case, this was enough for the courtiers to understand how favored the Marquis Lu was. On the occasion of the completion of the plaque on the gate of the Marquis Mansion in Beijing, Lin Xin was given many generous gifts.
“The plan to exterminate the wolves can be advanced.” The crown prince looked at the message in his hand and said in a deep voice.
Cut off the Marquis Lu Mansion’s paths.
Lin Xin sat on the stone bench in the center of the courtyard, holding a fine cloth and slowly wiping the Yanggu sword. There were more than a dozen beautiful women standing neatly in the yard, trembling in fear but afraid to show their anger when facing the legendary murderous Marquis Lu.
“Master Marquis, these are beauties sent by princes from various places and ministers of the court. You see…” The butler was appointed by the emperor. He had just taken office after the Chinese New Year, so he was not sure of Marquis Lin’s temperament.
“Sell.” Lin Xin said without raising his head.
“Sell, sell?” the housekeeper repeated in disbelief. He looked back at the women, all of them were as beautiful as flowers and jade. How could the Marquis be willing to sell them? Earlier at the palace banquet, Lin Xin flirted with the ballroom dancer, making everyone think that he liked beauties, so they sent so many of them at once.
After wiping the sword blade, Lin Xin raised his hand and split the stone table in half with one sword blow. He blew away the dust on the sword and said, “Don’t ask me to repeat myself a second time.”
“Yes.” The butler raised his head which was covered in cold sweat, then he hurriedly sent people to call for a Yazi[1] to come.
“I remember, our Zhu family doesn’t practice Buddhism, right?” In the backyard, Zhu Xingli was squatting under a tree tinkering with things. When he saw Lin Xin coming over, he sighed deliberately.
“What I am cultivating is the way of not being lascivious towards women. Uncle Master likes cats, you like books, I like men, that’s all.” Lin Xin said seriously, throwing a few ancient books picked out from the jewellery box to the master.
Zhu Xingli immediately forgot about educating his apprentice, and after catching the book, he couldn’t put it down and started flipping through it.
“What is this?” Lin Xin leaned on the tree trunk and looked down at the talisman Zhu Xingli had pressed under the stone.
“Don’t move it!” Zhu Xingli quickly pinched his wrist, wrapped his fingers with spiritual power, and pinched the talisman. It was hard and black, like parchment, with bright red spells painted on it, and a white bead like a human eye in the middle which was constantly rotating.
“Spirit Devouring!” Lin Xin felt that all the blood in his body surged to the top of his head and exploded instantly. He pushed Zhu Xingli away, threw the talisman a few feet away with the tip of his sword, and grabbed his master to check his pulse.
“Do you recognize it?” Zhu Xingli saw that his apprentice looked wrong and did not dare to say that he wanted to take it back to play with.
“Once the devoured spirit enters the body, the spiritual veins will be completely destroyed. There is no cure, and it is even contagious!” Seeing that Zhu Xingli was not infected, Lin Xin breathed a sigh of relief, “Where did this thing come from?”
“In Beimo… I found it.” Zhu Xingli said without confidence.
If it was said to be found, it was just stolen. Lin Xin looked at his master with a headache, and wanted to beat him very much, “Zhu Xingli, do you still remember what you promised me?”
He really spoiled his apprentice to the point that he called his master by his first name every day. Zhu Xingli raised his eyes to glare at him, but found that Lin Xin’s eyes were red, “Okay, okay, I will definitely do what I promised you as your teacher, and I will definitely live longer than you bastard. Since this thing is harmful to people, I have to find a way to solve it. Otherwise, if something bad happens to me one day, I will just have to open my eyes and wait for death.”
After all, I still want to play around.
Lin Xin: “…”
The grass grew and orioles flew, and the snow in the desert finally stopped. One man and one horse galloped on the grassland where the snow had just melted.
“General, the great witch asked me to hand it over to you.” On the hillside, a woman in a wizard’s robe blocked his way and handed over a black horn.
A trace of disgust flashed in Wen Shilan’s eyes, “Take it back, I don’t need it.”
“General, this is what Khan means. Khan hopes that the general can come back with good news.” The woman persistently handed over the horn tube, “The little one of the Shen family, the black snake has grown wings and is flying north of the Tianshan Mountains. General, please hurry up.”
The goshawk flew across the sky, casting a shadow on Wen Shilan’s resolute face. He raised his hand to take the horn, got on his horse and rode away without saying a word.
