After the Demon Lord Lost His Memory, He Became the Immortal Venerable's Dao Companion - Chapter 18

“This is what you call taking advantage of someone”

The next day, Qi Yan drifted into consciousness, his mind still clouded and sluggish.

In his dream last night, he felt as if he were being tossed repeatedly by the ocean waves, and his lower back had even crashed into a moored boat.

It was truly a nonsensical dream. In reality, if he had crashed into a boat, he would have died long ago; how could he possibly still feel pain?

Qi Yan rolled over and immediately felt a sharp soreness in his lower back and legs. Before he could figure out what was going on, he found himself face-to-face with Shen Yuzong.

Shen Yuzong leaned in naturally, pulling him into an embrace, his voice still raspy.

Feeling a direct, scorching touch against his palm, Qi Yan could not help but lift the quilt to look down.

It was with that single glance that he suddenly froze.

Under the quilt, both of them were completely naked, and even at this very moment, Shen Yuzong’s body was still.

“Shen Yuzong! What have you done?” Qi Yan reached out to push Shen Yuzong away, but since Shen Yuzong was not wearing any clothes, Qi Yan’s soft palm pressed directly against his skin without any obstruction.

Shen Yuzong pulled back the man who was trying to edge away, his tone filled with amusement. “Does my lady not remember?”

In an instant, every event from yesterday flooded back into his mind. Qi Yan was so stunned that he did not know how to react.

“Shen Yuzong. Did you deliberately trick me into drinking yesterday?”

“How could that be? May the heavens bear witness to the truth. You drank the wine yourself, and you took off your own clothes.”

His fingers tightened and loosened, tightened and loosened again and again, but he could never escape Shen Yuzong’s shackles.

Qi Yan’s face quickly flushed a deep crimson. “You are simply taking advantage of someone in a vulnerable state!”

Shen Yuzong chuckled softly, letting their skin press tightly together. “Zhuzhu, I did absolutely nothing last night. Taking advantage of you?”

“This is what you call taking advantage of someone.”

The scorching touch against his legs made Qi Yan shudder with lingering fear. He held his breath for a long time, unable to think of any curse, but looking at Shen Yuzong’s smug, triumphant face, he truly could not.

He endured and endured, but finally, he slapped him across the face.

Shen Yuzong did not dodge. After Qi Yan finished, he took hold of Qi Yan’s hand and pressed it against his own cheek. “Are you satisfied now?”

Qi Yan had thin skin and lacked Shen Yuzong’s shamelessness, so naturally, he was unwilling to speak.

Shen Yuzong did not mind that Qi Yan did not answer. He reached out, wrapped his arms around Qi Yan’s waist, and lifted him up to sit on his lap.

Qi Yan’s hand was still held fast against Shen Yuzong’s cheek, and the cool air poured into the space under the lifted quilt.

It was not cold, but Qi Yan felt a deep sense of unease. He felt uncomfortable, as if some vital part of his body had been forcibly excised, leaving him feeling dangerously exposed.

Qi Yan’s only free hand rested on Shen Yuzong’s chest, trembling from the heat.

Even though his body was straight, he seemed half-hunched, his entire frame almost collapsing onto Shen Yuzong.

“Zhuzhu.”

Shen Yuzong played with the strands of hair sweeping across his chest, teasing him nonchalantly.

Qi Yan could not even muster the strength to support his own body, let alone respond to Shen Yuzong.

He trembled, trying to put some distance between them, but his waist was firmly held in place.

Qi Yan could not help but feel annoyed. “What are you doing?”

Shen Yuzong leaned in, pulling Qi Yan down by the neck, and whispered, “If you keep trying to crawl up, we will just have to continue what we did not finish last night.”

Qi Yan looked up, meeting Shen Yuzong’s intrigued gaze. He felt like a poorly assembled machine, with no idea where to put his hands or feet.

He could not support himself any longer and collapsed against Shen Yuzong, who took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and pull him into his arms.

Qi Yan felt anxious and restless, but just as he began to struggle, a single sentence from Shen Yuzong stopped him.

“…”

“Let me hold you for a moment. It will be fine in a little while.”

Qi Yan pursed his lips and ignored him. He wanted to scold him, but he feared that doing so would only make Shen Yuzong more excited, so he could only glare at him every now and then with eyes that were still not quite clear.
