Chapter 62: How About We Start Tonight?
Thud. The wooden door was slammed shut by someone.
The hand covering Feng Shi’s eyes released him. The room was dim, with only fine dust motes floating in the faint light.
Feng Shi was dragged further inside, the powerful hand suppressing any sound he made.
It was so quiet around them that only the sound of friction between clothes and the heavy breathing of the person behind him could be heard.
That breathing seemed to be laced with a few eerie chuckles.
“Mmph!” Feng Shi’s scalp went numb. He clawed at the other person’s hand, but couldn’t move it at all.
“Heh…” The chest behind him vibrated slightly with laughter, the low sound falling into Feng Shi’s ear.
Cao Ni let out a neurotic shush, lowered his voice, and pressed his lips against the shell of Feng Shi’s ear. “Junior Brother, be quiet…”
Feng Shi smelled a faint scent on his hand that felt somewhat familiar. His body trembled uncontrollably—it was the fear of Cao Ni carved into the original host’s bones.
The two stumbled to the bedside. Cao Ni finally let go and pushed Feng Shi onto the bed.
“Se… Second Brother? What do you want to do?!” Feng Shi didn’t dare lie there for a second longer. He immediately sat up, his hand gripping Wu Cheng on his back, his face full of terror.
Cao Ni knelt with one leg on the bed beside Feng Shi, bending over slightly to pinch Feng Shi’s chin.
In the dim environment, the smile on his face was bizarre. Gone was his usual gentleness, replaced by a hint of demonic madness.
“I regret it,” Cao Ni said.
Feng Shi didn’t know which matter he was referring to and asked, “What?”
Cao Ni’s fingers, cold as jade, rubbed hard against Feng Shi’s chin twice. He narrowed his eyes, saying nothing, only laughing deeply.
Feng Shi was terrified by his laughter and kept retreating.
However, Cao Ni’s grip was deadly tight, pinching him until tears nearly flooded his eyes.
Cao Ni leaned in again, like a pervert, and sniffed Feng Shi. “I regret… regret not touching you back then.”
He ground his teeth audibly and continued, “A slut* like you should have been fucked to death in bed by men!”
Feng Shi was shocked. He hadn’t expected the other party to say such things. His expression changed.
Seeing his expression, Cao Ni’s mood improved even more. His palm slid from his cheek to his hair, then suddenly grabbed it fiercely. Squinting, he asked again, “How was it? Did Shizun fuck you comfortably?”
Forced to look up, meeting Cao Ni’s sinister gaze and understanding his meaning, a bit of negative emotion suddenly welled up in Feng Shi’s heart.
A moment later, he hooked the corner of his lip and smiled. “What nonsense is Senior Brother talking about?”
Cao Ni’s breathing quickened slightly, as if suppressing anger.
Feng Shi wasn’t sure where his anger came from, but in the original novel, he admired Shizun. It must be that seeing him close to Shizun these past few days had sparked jealousy.
But…
Feng Shi hated when others tried to snatch his things.
“Is Senior Brother jealous?”
He laughed, his face showing mockery. Under Cao Ni’s changing gaze, he spoke, “That’s right, I just like Shizun. So what? If you have the ability, try and take him from me!”
Qingqing recited “Little Ancestor” ten thousand times in its heart and hurriedly spoke to stop him: 【OOC Warning! Personality deviation! Host, please pay attention to maintaining the character setting!】
Feng Shi turned a deaf ear. Circulating energy in his body, he reached out and easily pushed Cao Ni away, then stood up from the bed.
Looking at Cao Ni’s dark face, Feng Shi stopped pretending. He spat, “What kind of thing do you think you are?”
【OOC Warning! Warning Host one last time! Last time!】 Qingqing blocked Feng Shi’s path, simply worried to death.
“And now, you think you can control me?”
Feng Shi’s eyes were contemptuous, the smile on his lips undiminished.
“Do you still remember the person who killed you in the Demon Slaying Tower a year ago?”
Cao Ni’s pupils constricted, staring fixedly at Feng Shi.
Feng Shi raised an eyebrow and continued asking, “Was killing people fun? Or is being killed more fun?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the bottom of Cao Ni’s eyes turned completely red. A violent aura that couldn’t be hidden radiated from him as he shouted, “It was you?!”
Feng Shi boldly admitted it. “So what if it was me? A life for a life—isn’t that perfectly justified?”
“You!” Cao Ni finally couldn’t hold back. Narrowing his eyes, he raised his hand swiftly, intending to strangle Feng Shi.
Feng Shi stood motionless, just waiting for him.
Who would have thought that Cao Ni wouldn’t play by the book? When his hand was half an inch from Feng Shi’s neck, he suddenly stopped.
Feng Shi looked over in confusion. Just as he was about to open his mouth to mock him again, he found that Cao Ni’s aura had strangely retracted. His face even wore a smile of interest.
Feng Shi: ???
【Host, Cao Ni Favorability, um… +10 Current Strategy Progress: 10%】
Feng Shi: ???
This really threw him off.
In the standoff, just as Feng Shi moved his mouth, Cao Ni spoke first. “I was just playing a joke on Junior Brother today. Junior Brother isn’t angry, right?”
His smile was too fake, but the look he gave Feng Shi remained intent.
Feng Shi: Heh, one or two of them are all ‘joking’ with me. Only a ghost would believe that!
But since it wasn’t time to completely tear off the mask with Cao Ni, he rolled with the punches and echoed, “How could I be? I was just a little startled, that’s all.”
After speaking, he straightened his slightly messy clothes. “If Senior Brother has nothing else, Junior Brother will take his leave.”
Standing in the dim shadows, Cao Ni exuded a gloominess like a dead person. “Help yourself, Junior Brother.”
Feng Shi couldn’t stand this underworld-like atmosphere. Giving him one last look, he quickly opened the door and left.
Behind him, Cao Ni rolled his gray, dull eyeballs, licked his lips with a bright red tongue, and grinned.
Going out once and encountering two huge speechless events, Feng Shi was physically and mentally exhausted, so he simply lay down and slept.
When he woke up, it was already late.
Feng Shi opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Shen Songhe looking down at him.
“Shizun!” Feng Shi woke up instantly, crawling up from the bed, his eyes shining.
Shen Songhe’s gaze darkened slightly.
He couldn’t stand Feng Shi looking at him with those eyes the most.
Truly… always hooking people into wanting to do bad things.
“Mn.” He lowered his eyes, suppressing the thoughts in his heart, and asked, “Why were you sleeping? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
Feng Shi was very diligent; under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t sleep if he could cultivate. Only when he was with Shen Songhe would he relax a little.
Hearing this, Feng Shi remembered the events before he slept. He pursed his lips, hugged Shen Songhe’s waist, and shook his head without speaking.
Shen Songhe waited patiently for him to speak.
Feng Shi brewed on it for a while but decided not to tell him about the two incidents. Instead, with a change of thought, he craned his neck and asked Shen Songhe:
“Shizun, are you willing to dual cultivate with me?”
He wore a teasing look on his face. How could Shen Songhe not see it? Yet his breathing still grew heavier as he asked back, “What do you think?”
Feng Shi grinned, his mood excellent. “I say Shizun is definitely willing. How about we start tonight?”
Shen Songhe fell silent.
Feng Shi climbed up, immediately fixing his eyes on the man’s jade-white ears. Sure enough, a trace of redness crept up bit by bit in a short amount of time.
“Hahaha, Shizun is shy.” Feng Shi stared at the reddening earlobe and laughed.
Not long ago, Feng Shi discovered this peculiarity of Shen Songhe. Only then did he realize this High Mountain Flower was so good at pretending—even better than his Senior Brother Qiu Changzhou.
Being called out like this, although Shen Songhe’s expression didn’t change much, the fine white skin under his eyes also turned red, as if he were drunk. His jet-black eyelashes trembled slightly as he looked toward Feng Shi with clear eyes.
“Is that so?” Shen Songhe raised his hand, cupped the back of Feng Shi’s neck, and slowly leaned in.
Bewitched by beauty, Feng Shi froze.
