- Chapter 13 - The Frail Hostage (13)
Li Qing did not know how to answer. He was a Nine-Tailed Fox; he could only love one person in his lifetime, yet… he was merely a passerby in this small world.
Feng Yanzhou was a human; he would be reincarnated and forget the past. Perhaps in his next life, he would fall in love with someone else, while he Li Qing would be wagering his entire existence…
Seeing the struggle in his eyes, Feng Yanzhou let out a self-deprecating laugh. He lowered his head, pressed it against Li Qing’s shoulder, and bit down hard. Li Qing furrowed his brows slightly, feeling the person on him trembling he was crying.
He remembered that before he went up the mountain, his uncle had said: “Follow your heart in all things.”
Follow my heart?
A moment later, Li Qing resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes. He… had fallen in love! Love arises from nowhere, yet it grows deep; his heart was trapped, and he could not escape.
“Feng Yanzhou, are you afraid? If… if I cling to you for every lifetime, will you regret it?”
Feng Yanzhou responded through tears: “That is what I have been praying for, but you wouldn’t give me the chance.”
Li Qing silently recited a mantra in his heart, forcibly summoning “San Sui” (Three Years) and ordering it with his consciousness: “Release my seal!”
Under such circumstances, San Sui could guess some of it. “Host, think twice. He is just an ordinary mortal; he is not worth it!”
“Release it!”
Unable to argue with him, San Sui used the method taught by the clan leader to break the seal suppressing Li Qing’s power, subsequently freezing the time of the small world.
Li Qing broke free from Feng Yanzhou’s grip and sat cross-legged on the bed. As his power returned, his nine tails manifested! White tails curled around his body as if protecting their master.
“Ah—”
The pain of a Nine-Tailed Fox severing its own tail was like gouging one’s heart out.
“Pfft—” Li Qing coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed onto the bed. After a long while, he slowly propped himself up, picked up the severed tail, and used his power to refine it, merging it into Feng Yanzhou’s soul.
“Feng Yanzhou… with this as a guide, in every life, through the Yellow Springs and the heavens, I will find you! If you change your heart by then, I will personally dig out your heart and nail your soul to the Stone of Three Lives, never to be reincarnated!”
After finishing this, Li Qing fell to the side. The Higanbana (Red Spider Lily) flower on his wrist swayed, and San Sui sighed: “Why bother? I once gave up ten thousand years of cultivation for someone, only to end up with nothing. Now, he is living a carefree life in the Celestial Realm.”
Li Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His smile was sorrowful, and his eyes were full of madness perhaps compared to Feng Yanzhou, he was the truly crazy one. “I will not give him the chance to betray me!”
“But your primary mission is to gain experience. By the time you finish your mission and return, he won’t even know how many lifetimes he has gone through or how many people he has loved!”
“Heh, that is why I also cast a curse on him. Apart from me, he will never have a good ending with anyone else! Don’t worry, I won’t forget the mission. Once the trial is over, I will go find him.”
San Sui: “…” He’s gone mad, completely mad! Why didn’t I think of that back then?! I suffered a huge loss!
Demon Realm, Soul-Devouring Palace.
Mo Jue suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand to cover his heart, his eyes full of heartache. “Qingqing, how could you…”
Li Qing lay down for a long time, too weak to get up. San Sui helped him repair the damage caused by the severed tail.
“Sigh, this system is so miserable. I lost ten thousand years of cultivation for a scumbag, and now, for you, I’m constantly outputting energy.”
“Cough, cough… thank you…”
“No need to thank me. It’s my own fault for being so sentimental.”
As San Sui transferred energy, it told jokes to distract him, hoping he wouldn’t feel as much pain.
“Holy crap! A powerful force has invaded the small world! Host, I’ll take you and run first!”
San Sui did not know who the intruder was, but they had managed to force their way into its barrier. It didn’t know if they were friend or foe, and since the host was at his weakest, running was the only option. Unfortunately, the moment it had the thought, it was suppressed so heavily it couldn’t use any energy.
“Host, we’re done for! Anyone could crush us like an ant right now!”
“Cough, cough… you go first. I’ll deal with him, cough, cough…”
San Sui: “…” To be honest, I really want to leave you and run first, but the problem is I’m bound to you; we’re two grasshoppers on the same rope! If you die, I get buried with you!
A cloud of black mist rose in the room, and a figure stepped out from it. Li Qing instinctively raised his hand to attack, but the man caught his hand and pulled him into his arms. “Qingqing…”
(Author’s Note: I don’t know if a Nine-Tailed Fox’s tail can actually grow back, but I’ve set it so it can. It’s a sweet story, and I don’t want it to be too tragic; otherwise, Qingqing would be too miserable.)
Li Qing looked at his face, which was identical to Feng Yanzhou’s, and felt a bit stunned. What is going on?
“Who are you?”
Mo Jue lowered his head and kissed his forehead gently. “Mo Jue, the current Demon Lord of the Demon Realm. I am Feng Yanzhou, and I am also your lover. You were still young when we last met, perhaps you have already forgotten me.”
Li Qing, who indeed did not remember him: “…” Dammit, I severed my tail for nothing!
San Sui: “…” Waaah… this is so sad. Why is my lover such a scumbag!
Li Qing reached out and used all his remaining strength to pinch his face, gritting his teeth. “Attach my tail back for me! It hurts like hell!”
Mo Jue held him tightly. “I am sorry. It was my negligence. From now on, I will never let you be harmed again. If I break this vow, may I be destroyed by heaven and earth!”
Mo Jue’s power was immense, but fully repairing Li Qing’s tail also cost him half of his cultivation. Seeing Mo Jue cough up blood, Li Qing poked his forehead and spoke with thin lips: “We’re even.”
Mo Jue grabbed his finger, the corners of his mouth curling into a faint smile. “Qingqing, I must leave now. From now on, in every world, I will accompany you through the trials and protect you.”
“Will you have memories?”
“I am different from you. I will have no memories when I enter a small world, but rest assured, I will recognize you at first sight, snatch you home, and hide you away!”
Li Qing: “…” There’s really no need to be that perverted.
Mo Jue departed reluctantly, but before he left, he restored the room to its original state. San Sui re-sealed Li Qing’s power, silently turned invisible, and grieved in secret.
Feng Yanzhou leaned on Li Qing’s shoulder, looked at the tooth marks he had made, and licked them with a heart full of pain. “I’m sorry.”
Li Qing: “…” We are not even. That bite hurt.
“Qingqing, what did you mean by that sentence earlier?” His tone was aggrieved, laced with cautious probing.
Li Qing blinked, confused. Which sentence? He had already forgotten.
After backtracking through his memories, he finally replied, “It means: I am willing.”
Feng Yanzhou jerked his head up, staring at him intently. Disbelief, surprise various emotions intertwined. “Qingqing… Qingqing… Qingqing…”
He called his name over and over, from probing to ecstasy. Finally, he hugged him tightly, burying his face deep into Li Qing’s neck and shoulder… he was crying again.
After he finished crying, Feng Yanzhou was very excited and wanted to… consummate the marriage.
Li Qing feigned a violent cough. “Cough, cough… cough, cough… I am still sick. If you want me to die right here, then go ahead!”
Feng Yanzhou didn’t dare. He quickly wiped his tears and helped him dress, eyes fixed strictly ahead.
