In terms of knowledge of cultivation, Xiao Yao was completely incomparable to Bai Ju, so Xiao Yao would not question the ideas proposed by Bai Ju.
Most of the time, possibility itself was a huge temptation.
The current world of warlocks and demons was not the same as before. Due to the decline of the gods, the lifespan of cultivators was getting shorter and their horizons were getting narrower. Few people could understand where the vast land of cultivation was, so most cultivators were attracted by longer lifespans and more wealth. However the path was unclear, and they were gradually getting further and further away from enlightenment.
The reason why vampires tried to immigrate here was the opposite of that of the Chinese demons. They had learned more possibilities through the current information channels and were looking for a way out for themselves; and the Chinese demon world, with its increasingly narrow horizons and generally younger ages, was really going downhill to some extent.
“Brother Bai, if you can really solve this matter, the Chinese Warlock Association may have to owe you a favor.” Xiao Yao sighed softly, “With the decline of Shintoism, the Warlock Association was actually the one that suffered the most. Without the protection of the gods, it is extremely difficult for a warlock to advance in his training. There is too little room for improving his strength. However, there are many places in China that need warlocks, and serious talents have long been in short supply.”
“If you can really bind vampires and warlocks together to practice and improve together, then those bound warlocks can basically do the work of two and can get more room for improvement. The stability of the Warlock Association can increase exponentially, and you will become a great contributor to the Warlock Association.” Xiao Yao began to analyze the situation almost out of habit, “The Demon Management Bureau tends to support you. The Special Service Bureau looks more serious, but they are the laziest one in their attitude towards you… After all, their bureau is full of eccentric talents, and they are very accepting of you, the Demon King.”
“In other words, Brother Bai, the biggest obstacle you will face in the tripartite meeting is the Warlock Association.”
“The Warlock Association usually tends to carry out work such as maintaining stability and suppressing violence, exorcising demons and eliminating evil spirits across the country and even around the world. It is also the face of China. In a sense, it is also a special military weapon. The strength of the Warlock Association means how much organized supernatural force China can mobilize. Therefore, the Warlock Association must ensure the collective stability of the entire organization. Even if there may be differences in their respective propositions, the entire association’s attitude towards the outside world will be quite unified and stubborn… In other words, if the Warlock Association does not express its position, Brother Bai, you will never pass the assessment; on the contrary, as long as they give in, you can get more than 80 votes and successfully obtain the approval of the three parties.”
As Xiao Yao spoke, he gradually sorted out the relationship between these things. For a moment, his eyes lit up, and he turned his head excitedly and said, “Brother Bai, this is a win-win situation!”
Bai Ju saw everything about his boyfriend, and his eyes were very gentle under his slightly drooping eyelashes: “Yao Yao, you are so nice to me.”
Xiao Yao was stunned. He didn’t think there was anything special about his previous plan. Then, Bai Ju gently pinched his earlobe. A low and soft voice further came with the faint fragrance of flowers: “It’s really great… You’re considering everything for me.”
The happiness in Bai Ju’s heart was almost overflowing.
Meeting Xiao Yao was like receiving a gift from God, and in the process of getting along with Xiao Yao, he found that this gift box could never be fully opened, and with each layer he opened, he would find a layer of surprise.
The love and care was just getting deeper and deeper.
“I discovered that you love me from every little thing you do…” Bai Ju couldn’t help but lean over and kiss Xiao Yao’s forehead, “I’m so happy.”
“It’s like a dream, and I don’t want to wake up.” Bai Ju circled Xiao Yao, and they had walked along the path to the deepest part of the garden. Next to them was a rose wall and an iron fence, and further to the side was a pavilion with flower branches.
Xiao Yao embarrassedly put the back of his hand against his cheek and found that the temperature of his face was high enough to fry an egg.
“You always interrupt me when I’m talking about serious matters…” he complained in a low voice. Xiao Yao then put his arms around Bai Ju’s waist and back in self-abandonment, buried his face in the front of his shirt, and comforted him sullenly, “This is all real. It’s not a dream.”
Even before he met Old Dog Bai, he never knew that dreams could be so sweet – so all this is true.
Bai Ju rubbed Xiao Yao’s head distressedly. His palm touched Xiao Yao’s neck along the back of his head and squeezed it gently.
His boyfriend rarely revealed even a hint of vulnerability. The action of leaning in his arms made Xiao Yao’s shoulder blades bulge slightly, and the young man’s already slender figure looked thinner. His shoulders were not thick but seemed to bear the burden of a mountain. It was a pity that Bai Ju had the ability to move mountains and fill the sea, but he couldn’t remove these two mountains from Xiao Yao’s shoulders. He could only accompany him and support him to slowly light up the star of Emperor’s destiny.
Humming a few untuneful notes in his nose, Bai Ju hugged Xiao Yao and coaxed him, then slowly said: “Yao Yao, don’t worry, I will do this.”
Xiao Yao didn’t know what Bai Ju was going to do, but he was really worried: “It’s too difficult to operate… Most vampires are willing to cooperate and try. Modern vampires are not as reserved as before, so they should not be averse to finding a partner to practice together. But such a partner naturally needs a special physique that is compatible with vampires, and there are very few who are strong and talented enough to become a light source…”
The plan was generally feasible, but it lacked some people.
Bai Ju was not too worried. After all, this was an era that could give birth to a new emperor star. At most, talented people were hiding in the crowd, and their number would definitely not be small. He comforted: “Everything will work out when the time comes. Believe me, the people we need will appear one after another.”
Xiao Yao sighed, not knowing where Bai Ju got the confidence from, so he just nodded.
Seeing that Xiao Yao was considerate and did not ask any further questions, Bai Ju felt uncomfortable.
His Yao Yao must have suffered a lot of hardships in the past because of this imperial order, and he must have asked about it, but with the current level of Chinese warlocks, he must never have received an answer. Now that Bai Ju had appeared in Xiao Yao’s life, he obviously knew what was going on, but because of the punishment from heaven, he could not take the initiative to answer Xiao Yao’s doubts…
Bai Ju lowered his head apologetically, pressed Xiao Yao’s head against his neck, and whispered: “Yao Yao… everything you have experienced and everything you will need to pursue in the future has a reason.”
Xiao Yao blinked, not quite understanding why Bai Ju’s strong guilt and heartache suddenly surged up, but after being with Bai Ju for so long, he also knew a little about Bai Ju’s thought process, so he understood a little and guessed softly: “Brother Bai, do you know something?”
Bai Ju responded sullenly: “Well, I know something, but I can’t tell you, at least not now.”
Xiao Yao smiled: “Then there is no need to say anything. Brother Bai, I believe you. As long as it is your choice, I will listen to you.”
Bai Ju paused.
What Xiao Yao said was not special, but it made his eyes suddenly warm.
“Yao Yao,” Bai Ju raised his hand and rubbed his nose, grinning, “You trust me so much, then I have to become a real mountain god for you again.”
Xiao Yao withdrew from Bai Ju’s arms, feeling a little amused and helpless: “Haven’t you always been the mountain god?”
Bai Ju raised the corner of his mouth and smiled mysteriously: “That’s different.”
After saying that, Bai Ju didn’t give Xiao Yao time to think carefully, and pulled him out of the garden, following the map of Haiyin Castle to find the small horse farm behind the castle.
“Why are you watching horses in the middle of the night?” Xiao Yao shook his head, but did not spoil Bai Ju’s fun. He just followed his wishes and went to the horse farm.
Probably due to the Western nobles’ love for horses, the small horse farm in Haiyin Castle was not large but was very carefully maintained; the modern horse stables occupying a row of houses next to the farm, which housed five or six horses of various colors, and a metal plate with the horse’s name engraved on it was nailed to the door of each house.
After all, Bai Ju was more familiar with the era of horseback riding. So when he saw the newly upgraded horse stables, he was quite interested and pulled Xiao Yao over to have a look.
The horse farm in Haiyin Castle was not as famous as its building itself, but after all, the horses here were of good quality and it was quite well-known among horse lovers. Therefore, although the main traffic of the horse farm was during the day, many people would come here during the evening party and spend money to ride horses and take pictures and pose, especially some young people dressed as knights.
Bai Ju was not interested in squeezing with other tourists, so he walked around the two horses that were still working and went straight to the entrance of the stable.
“Lihuo… let me see, it’s a chestnut horse.” Xiao Yao glanced at the nameplate of the first stable – or the horse dormitory, then turned his gaze to look at the horse behind the fence, then raised his eyebrows with interest, “This naming method is quite Chinese.”
Bai Ju was not quite sure what names Westerners would give to horses. He only knew that common names in the past were words like “Zhu Feng” and “Ji Lei” that described speed. Occasionally, some people who liked to brag would use the names of long-famous horses to name their horses.
Xiao Yao just said it casually, then looked at the nameplates of the two houses at the back and then stopped at the door of the third house with a subtle expression.
Bai Ju had been looking at the first chestnut horse; horses were one of the more delicious meals in his previous diet, and seeing the beautiful horse, Bai Ju couldn’t help but take a few more glances, then he turned around to meet Xiao Yao’s half-smile. Old Bai was confused for a moment: “Yao Yao, what’s wrong?”
Xiao Yao raised his hand and pointed to the nameplate in front of him and said with a smile: “This horse is called Bai Ju.”
Bai Ju: “…”
Bai Ju coughed lightly in embarrassment, touched his nose, and whispered: “Ah… This name is quite easy to match.”
Xiao Yao looked back and forth at Bai Ju and the white-haired, red-maned horse in the stable, and he couldn’t suppress the smile on his face: “Brother Bai… Hahahaha, what’s the matter with your name?”
Xiao Yao laughed so hard that his facial muscles were a little sore. He raised his hand to rub his cheeks and remembered something interesting. He couldn’t help but say: “Speaking of which, the records left by the warlock world at the time specifically marked that the demon king Bai Ju was a dog, not a horse.” He was used to calling him that and had ignored this point. Now he thought of it and immediately found it interesting.
Bai Ju lowered his head and smiled, walked to Xiao Yao, and leaned over to look at the white horse inside, explaining in a slightly embarrassed voice: “This, this has to be seen from the perspective of my parents… The era in which they were born was no longer the same as mine, and they didn’t have much awareness of learning culture. After giving birth to me, they were embarrassed to call me a white dog directly, so they changed the radical of the dog and called me Bai Ju, hoping that my body shape would be as handsome as a horse.”
Bai Ju stood up for his parents and then emphasized: “This name is really good, and it is also a name they racked their brains to come up with… Except that the probability of duplicate names is a bit high and it is easy to misjudge species, there is really nothing wrong with it.”
“I didn’t say it’s bad, hahaha,” Xiao Yao couldn’t help laughing, and reached out to rub the dog’s head, “My brother Bai is good in every way.”
The dog Bai Ju and the Bai Ju in the horse pen stared at each other, he finally looked away angrily, and pulled Xiao Yao to look at other horses.
There were still horses in the fourth room, but the members in the remaining two rooms were not inside at the moment. Instead, they were in the small horse farm fence outside. One horse was snow-white and the other was pure black, which were especially suitable for taking pictures for tourists.
Bai Ju looked around at the other end of the horse farm and said softly, “Yao Yao, look, isn’t that Captain Qu on the black horse?”
Xiao Yao looked over and was slightly surprised, “Really? Shao Simiao is also next to him… Let’s go and take a look. The horror game time hasn’t ended yet, why are they out taking pictures.”
