Chapter 35

Ah Jiu reminded him, “Young man, you are playing with fire.”

Bai YueSheng’s expression was determined. “I have to try.”

He knew his words would definitely provoke Lance. However this probably was Bai YueSheng’s only chance.

Out of all of his ex-boyfriends, he could only try this method on Lance.

For one, Lance was a little angel. Although he had suffered greatly in the world of the gods, he had never thought about destroying himself. Also the relationship between the two of them can be considered pure.

Although Lance had deep feelings towards however Bai YueSheng had always treated him with the attitude of a godfather. If not for De Mo’s meddling, they probably would never have crossed that barrier. They would have lived as godfather and godson for that lifetime.

So Bai YueSheng thought it was worth a gamble and a try. If it succeeded then he would be able to get rid of at least one problem.

Although his “problems” were numerous, however one less is still good. Bai YueSheng wasn’t greedy.

“Lance,” Bai YueSheng made his voice gentle. “Go back, okay? Everything between us… has already come to an end.”

This kind of blunt statement made Lance’s face loose all color. He pressed his lips together and said hoarsely, “Is it because of him?”

He didn’t look at Qiu ChangFeng but that wild and unrestrained killing aura was as potent as dipping bones into venom, it was bitter and sour and went straight into the heart and lungs.

Bai YueSheng had expected him to become inflamed so he didn’t hesitate to reply, “No.”

Lance’s eyes were dark. “I don’t believe it.”

Bai YueSheng very honestly told him, “I knew Qiu ChangFeng before I met you. He was the first child I raised and is also at the same time, someone I hate to the bone. I will never forgive him and definitely wouldn’t give up on anything because of him.”

Lance couldn’t understand. “Then why?”

Bai YueSheng paused and then suddenly smiled. It was a very warm smile. “Lance, what’s past is past. Let it go, okay?”

Lance stared at him.

Bai YueSheng sighed. “You said before that you would never force me. Isn’t that right?”

Lance looked as though he had been electrocuted. His whole body trembled. “Yes.”

“In that case I wish that you would return to Midgard.” Bai YueSheng steeled his heart.

Lance stood there, buffered by the cold wind. The narrow alleyway he stood in felt like an abyss, the cold wind rushed through his body, almost freezing his blood solid.

Bai YueSheng also suddenly felt pain. If Lance agreed then… he would always owe him.

He wasn’t sure how long it took but Lance once again looked at Bai YueSheng. Those usually clear blue eyes were now cloudy. The expression made one’s heart twist with pain.

He finally spoke and his voice was very low. It was as though he had lost everything. “I understand.”

Bai YueSheng’s heart jumped.

Lance raised the corner of his lips and smiled at Bai YueSheng. “As long as you’re happy, I can do anything.”

If in your whole world only one person was left then that person would become your entire world.

And now, his world no longer wanted him.

Lance turned around and left. In the end Bai YueSheng didn’t say anything.

Ah Jiu couldn’t help but interject a few words. “To say you’re a human scum is really insulting to the two words ‘human scum’.”

Bai YueSheng’s heart twisted. “It’s only for his own good. Since I can’t give him what he wants, to directly break things off is better than to keep dragging it on.”

“…” Ah Jiu. “This promotional mission is so annoying. I’ve completely lost all motivation.”

Bai YueSheng, “Of course you don’t have any motivation. You don’t have something you definitely want to obtain.”

On this matter, Ah Jiu really had a difficult time understanding him.

After Lance left, Bai YueSheng’s mood was very low.

Qiu ChangFeng finally had him to himself. He wasn’t stupid enough to keep on talking about unhappy things so he only said tenderly, “It’s getting late. Let’s go home?”

Bai YueSheng didn’t say anything. Although his mood was fluctuating unsteadily but it wasn’t enough that he would fall into the trap. So he didn’t reply and instead just held Qiu ChangFeng’s hand and transported them back to the apartment.

Qiu ChangFeng didn’t say much. He helped him take off his jacket and took out his slippers to help him change. He placed him onto the soft couch. “I’ll cook. You just wait here.”

Bai YueSheng lay there lazily and said, “Okay.”

Qiu ChangFeng’s efficiency was very high. To a man who could catch a fish from the depths of three thousand meters, cooking sweet and sour fish couldn’t be more easy.

Actually deep sea fish is not suitable at all for being made into sweet and sour. After the purpose of eating this kind of fish with be its freshness and it would be best suited towards light steaming. If it was fried and covered with sweet and sour seasoning, it directly covered up the taste of the fresh fish. It was really difficult to understand.

But to a person who loved sweet food, sweet and sour fish was one of the heights of culinary delight. Only pineapple and braised beef could compare.

Bai YueSheng ate the whole thing by himself. After he had had is fill of the sweetness, he felt slighter better.

“The taste is pretty good.”

Qiu ChangFeng used magic to clean up the table and them embraced him. “What do you want to eat tonight?”

Bai YueSheng’s heart still thought about Lance and so didn’t feel like paying much attention to Qiu ChangFeng. “Anything is good.”

Qiu ChangFeng held him without changing his expression. His thin lips kissed Bai YueSheng’s white forehead. “Ah Sheng….”

“En?” Bai YueSheng had already asked Ah Jiu to seal his powers and so at the moment he was somewhat scared of the cold. It was actually quite comfortable to be held by Qiu ChangFeng.

“Don’t you want to go back and have a look?”

Bai YueSheng raised his eyebrow. “What is there to see?” He had stayed in the cultivation world for close to a thousand years. He couldn’t be more sick of it.

Qiu ChangFeng tried his best to give himself additional points. “Lin XuanJi has succeeded the Jiu Xuan Zong.”

{T/N: Um… a reminder that this is the sect that BYS belonged to in the cultivation world.}

This was one of Bai YueSheng’s disciples. He was young and talented and also was good and righteous. Bai YueSheng paused then finally said, “That’s very good.”

Qiu ChangFeng then said, “Xiao Yi and the others all miss  you.”

Bai YueSheng frowned.

Qiu ChangFeng kissed his ear. “Don’t you want to go back to see them?”

Bai YueSheng thought for a minute then sat up straight and met Qiu ChangFeng’s eyes. “Why do you want me to go back?”

Qiu ChangFeng, “That place is our real…”

Bai YueSheng interrupted him. “That’s not my home.”

Qiu ChangFeng’s eyes were gloomy. He said, “You lived there for over 980 years.”

Bai YueSheng smiled. “About four hundred of those was because I was deliberately delayed by you.”

Qiu ChangFeng didn’t speak.

Bai YueSheng didn’t also didn’t want to keep talking about those old things. “I don’t have any nostalgia about that time at all. There’s no point to go back so don’t speak of it again.”

Qiu ChangFeng’s arms around him tightened. His already gloomy eyes became more dark.

He didn’t have any nostalgia towards those times. The main reason was because… he didn’t have any nostalgia towards him.

One step wrong then caused a series of mistakes. Qiu ChangFeng didn’t know how to make up for the things he had done… but then again, if he hadn’t done those things then Bai YueSheng would only have left him sooner. That twenty years, those four hundred years, was something he had fought for and snatched using his own hands.

He didn’t regret it.

Bai YueSheng adjusted his emotions. He thought it was probably best to send Qiu ChangFeng home that night.

If he deliberately seduced him, this fellow wouldn’t be able to hold himself back.

“Long nights cause many dreams”. It wasn’t easy to send away Lance. If he could then send away Qiu ChangFeng then he would at least have some peace for a little while.

{T/N: 夜长梦多/”Ye Chang Meng Duo” or “long nights cause many dreams” is a saying meaning you should let things linger or drag out for too long as too many things can change or go wrong. Better to solve it quickly or nip things in the bud.}

Just as he was thinking this, Ah Jiu’s voice sounded urgently in his head. “Hurry up and go and see Lance!”

Bai YueSheng was startled. “What happened?”

Ah Jiu said seriously. “The promotion mission has given some extra information. Lance is a crucial person to the mission.”

“What?” Bai YueSheng’s face was filled with disbelief.

Ah Jiu said, “Before I was unable to contact headquarters. But the news just then was sent by headquarters. Lance definitely needs to live. If he dies then the promotion mission is a fail.”

“Die? What are you trying to say?” Waves of turbulence were flowing in Bai Yuesheng’s heart.

Ah Jiu had already released his godly senses. As he searched he spoke. “You underestimated him. Or should I say you underestimated his feelings for you.”

Bai YueSheng was completely shocked. This feeling of his blood flowing backwards and the hair standing up on his skin was something he hadn’t experienced in a long time.

Because of his words, Lance wanted to chose to die?

He only wanted him to go back. He only wanted him to let go. But how could he….

Damn! This stubborn bear child!

Bai YueSheng forced himself to calm down quickly. He needed to find Lance but he couldn’t let Qiu ChangFeng know.

How? In this kind of situation he definitely didn’t have time to send Qiu ChangFeng away. It was also impossible to take him along. Ghosts knew what these two would do if they met each other under these circumstances!

Bai YueSheng’s eyes flashed and he said lowly to Ah Jiu, “Return all my power to me.”

Ah Jiu: “You….”

Bai YueSheng: “Hurry, all of the power!”

In the end Ah Jiu trusted him. He also knew that Bai YueSheng thought the promotion mission very important otherwise he wouldn’t have sealed his power in the first place if not to more accurately portray a “normal” life.

Bai YueSheng had passed through nine worlds. In each world he had reached the pinnacle of existence, not to mention all the treasures and secrets he had exchanged from the Time and Space Bureau. So if he released all his power it was more than enough to make the whole world shake.

He wasn’t exaggerating. If he wanted to then he himself could very easily made Mother Earth explode.

Of course, he loved her so he wouldn’t do that to her.

The reason he wanted to release his power now was to give Qiu ChangFeng a good thwack while he wasn’t expecting it, and turn this Devil King into a sleeping beauty.

Bai YueSheng moved as fast the speed of light and he was very efficient. Add to that Qiu ChangFeng had no defence up at all and the two of them were very close. His success rate was 100%.

Qiu ChangFeng toppled onto the couch. Bai YueSheng increased the barrier around the apartment and said to Ah Jiu, “Help me exchange for a Nine Worlds Sleeping Potion.”

Although Qiu ChangFeng had fainted, in order to let him be unconscious for longer he could only empty his wallet for some top level items.

At this time Ah Jiu could contact headquarters and open the shop. He could complete this task easily. “The effect is nine hours. There’s no side effects. The price is 100,000 space credits.”

Bai YueSheng’s small heart jumped. “What a black hearted shop!”

Ah Jiu said, “You can choose one with side effects. It’s only 50,000….”

Bai YueSheng said, “Don’t talk nonsense. Where’s the drug?”

Ah Jiu shrugged and placed the drug into his hands.

Bai YueSheng immediately fed it to Qiu ChangFeng. He also helped him take off his shoes and clothes and placed him on the bed.

After this, he immediately spread out his senses and in one minute found where Lance was. He was on the peak of Everest, did he want to goddamn freeze him to death?

Bai YueSheng immediately teleported to where he was. “Come home with me.”

Lance totally did not expect him to come. His entire person was shocked. “Ah Sheng?”

Bai YueSheng was extremely angry. “How many hundreds of years are you? Do you still think you are a middle schooler? It’s just heartbreak, what’s the point of seeking death?”

Lance’s body shook. Then he raised the corner of his lips and his smile was very bright. “What are you saying? Who is seeking death?”

Bai YueSheng stared at him.

Lance stood in the snowy field, his appearance very dazzling. He smiled and said, “Ah Sheng don’t joke. This mountain is nothing. Even if I broke into the land of the titans, I won’t die.”

It truly was like this. If if Lance was to fall straight from the peak of Mount Everest and land in the center of the Earth and wind up in an ocean of magma, he definitely wouldn’t die.

However the prerequisite of this being that Lance didn’t want to die.

If he really didn’t want to live then he didn’t need to go anywhere. He didn’t need to do anything. He only needed to shatter his own god’s seal and then he would turn into dust floating in an empty void!

Ah Jiu reminded him. “Calm down. It’s not possible for Lance to admit that he wants to kill himself.”

Bai YueSheng knew this. And he also knew what he needed to to make Lance give up this notion and also live energetically for another ten thousand years….

It’s only that he really doesn’t much want to do  it.

But this goddamn promotion mission….

Dammit, who cares. No matter what, to live is the most important thing.

Bai YueSheng grabbed Lance’s collar and pulled him down, pressing their lips together.

Lance opened his eyes wide.

Bai YueSheng licked his warm lips and then said lowly, “Open your mouth.”

Lance didn’t wait for him to do anything else. He embraced him forcefully and the kiss he pressed upon his lips was as heavy as a mountain. That strong force was as though he wanted desperately to absorb this person into his bone marrow, ensnare him intimately and never be parted from him.

Bai YueSheng was kissed until his breathing became heavy. In this kind of freezing environment, the two people felt a heat that was difficult to express.

Lance’s eyes were bright. His voice trembled. “Ah Sheng….”

Bai YueSheng kissed him again. “Lance, I like you. I liked you from a long time ago.”

What was the meaning of being revived? What was the meaning of wild ecstasy? What was the meaning of seeing a beautiful rainbow at the end of destruction of the world?

Lance’s feelings could not be described using words.

He felt as though he was dreaming but the person in his arms was warm. His moans were extremely moving like the most tempting words of love….

Lance knew he ought to stop momentarily. Ah Sheng must be getting tired. But he couldn’t. It was impossible. He wanted to possess him, to obtain him. Even the most intimate connection between their bodies was not enough to fully satiate the hole inside his heart. He kissed him repeatedly, stroked him, penetrated him and after obtaining countless words of love, he felt he might become a little bit satisfied but then almost immediately immense desire would rise again…

There was no end and no boundary, he could never obtain enough.

If it was possible then he really wanted to let everyone know. His Ah Sheng liked him. His Ah Sheng… belonged to him.

After it was finally over, Bai YueSheng felt as though he had been f***ed to death.

This was too crazy!

He gasped for breath. Lance had already left. There was no doubt. As long as he did it to the end, the rule that they would go back to their world applied to everyone.

Bai YueSheng’s body and psyche were both extremely satisfied, however his heart felt slightly uncomfortable.

One lie would result in a thousand consequences. This really was laying a trap for himself and it really was a deep bottomless pit.

But what choice did he have? He couldn’t fail the mission and Lance couldn’t die…. so he could only take it step by step.

Bai YueSheng rested for a moment and just as he was thinking about returning to the apartment, there was a sudden turbulence in the atmosphere around him.

A man with long hair to his waist stood in front him like an ice statue.

Bai YueSheng’s entire body was naked. His top and bottom half were both filled with marks. What had he had just been doing was obvious from just a glance.

Bai YueSheng: “Nine hours passed just like that?”

Ah Jiu was still sealing his senses so no one replied to him…..
