Chapter 165
When Huo Zaiyuan gradually regains consciousness, the first thing he is aware of is being held in an embrace. An extremely familiar warmth and hug, as if it is
Brow furrowing lightly, his long eyelashes flutter. As his eyes open unhurriedly, the first thing he sees is a pair of dark eyes filled with tender affection.
Zhan Zhanye
Un, Im here. A soft smile emerges on his face at Huo Zaiyuans startled expression. Leaning down, he kisses the youths temple.
Your injury Recalling Cheng Mingchengs claws piercing his shoulder and chest, Huo Zaiyuans heart aches. When he tries to struggle out of Long Zhanyes arms to check on the other man, he abruptly realises that he doesnt have a sliver of strength in his body.
Everything is fine now. An arm curling around Huo Zaiyuans waist to prevent him from trying to move anymore, a free hand reaches up to unbutton his shirt, exposing his left shoulder and chest. Unblemished, honey-coloured skin is revealed. Not a single scar can be seen, let alone a wound. It is as though Long Zhanye has never been injured in the first place.
No wounds. Howhow is that possibleyou were clearly injured Shock shifts into amazement as Huo Zaiyuan reaches up to drag his fingertips across the unmarked skin, not quite daring to believe his eyes.
I was indeed injured and nearly lost my life. However, this one event resulted in you placing the Dragon pearl in my mouth, thereby awakening the memories slumbering within my soul, Covering the hand on his chest with his own, Long Zhanye states softly before pressing a kiss to Huo Zaiyuans palm.
Memories slumbering in your soul? What do you mean?
HmmI should probably explain it as the memories of my previous life. Gathering the fabric of Huo Zaiyuans long sleeve, Long Zhanye pulls it up to expose the silver dragon tattoo around his slender wrist. This tattoo acts as the medium between the Dragon pearl and the interdimensional space. During that time, when I sent the bamboo house into this space, I changed the Dragon pearl into a white jade brush. That brush was given to you asatoken of my love But you dont remember any of it now.
Whatwhat are you talking about? Zhanye, I dont understand what you are saying Huo Zaiyuan truly cannot make heads or tails of Long Zhanyes odd words.
In my previous life, I was called the Heretical Dragon, and you were him. Hand lifting, Long Zhanye points towards the portrait hanging on the back wall of the house.
Following the direction of his finger, Huo Zaiyuans gaze lands on the portrait depicting someone he is very familiar with, as well as the flamboyant, cursive script of three characters, Huo Tianji. Up until now, he had always thought that this person is his ancestor. Now, Long Zhanye is unexpectedly telling him that he was Huo Tianji in his last life. This one sentence is like a bombshell, destroying his perception of everything.
I I
Actually, saying that you are him is also not quite right. Placing an arm under the curve of Huo Zaiyuans knees while the other tucks him close. Long Zhanye lifts him up in a princess carry, bringing him over to the portrait. More specifically, little Yuan is born from a fragment of his soul. The day when Tianji broke through and reached the topmost level of the Mysterious Nine Dragons Heaven Art, he became the strongest individual within the Taoist sect. It took him ninejiazito reach that point. You, however, reached the sixth level in a mere two years. Thus, here is a clear evidence that you are different from him.
Ninejiazi. Ajiaziis sixty years, and he Huo Zaiyuans eyes widen in astoundment.
Listening to Long Zhanyes words, he cant help the shock running through his being.
The Taoist sect practises Heaven Entrapment Path, which only has six levels. The Mysterious Nine Dragons Heaven method little Yuan practises is mineor should I say, the Heretical Dragons and Tianjis creation. Looking at the adorably dazed expression on the typically sharp childs face, a pampering smile curves his lips. Little Yuan is born from a fragment of Tianjis soul, which is why you do not possess a core. Thus, the spiritual energy you gain through cultivation can only run through your meridians, making it a spiritual body. This time, because of rescuing me, you exhausted every drop of spiritual power, hence your current vulnerable state.
So what can be done? Dont tell me I will remain like this for a lifetime? Huo Zaiyuan frowns when he fully processes Long Zhanyes words.
Immediately after, he attempts to circulate his inner spiritual energy, only to realise he cant seem to grasp it firmly. Not only that, but the energy from every inhale disperses instantly as soon as it enters his body.
Compared to Long Zhanye suddenly going from an ordinary person to someone who has a better grasp of cultivation than him, Huo Zaiyuan is more disheartened by the fact that his cultivation seemed to have completely vanished.
With me by your side, you naturally do not need to worry about it. Long Zhanye drops a kiss on his cheek, trying to soothe away the distress on his lovers face.
Thats good, Huo Zaiyuan breathes a sigh of relief, his heart calming down instantly.
After his rebirth and practising Taoist Arts, constantly cultivating for two years has resulted in it occupying half the space in his heart, the other half being Long Zhanye. Supposedly, if he can no longer cultivate, it would take away half the light in his world.
Thats right, Zhanye, did you see another young man with me when you woke up? Huo Zaiyuan asks as soon as he remembers Lian Xiang who appeared and saved him at the most crucial moment.
Long Zhanye said that he was the Heretical Dragon in his previous life, the Dragon pearl was one of his many possessions, and thus he is able to enter this space without the slightest obstruction. However, Lian Xiang is not like them. If both Zhanye and himself are in this space and Lian Xiang is left alone outsideHuo Zaiyuan doesnt feel too good.
I told that little Buddhist monk to return to the safe zone first.
He still has his hair, so how is he a monk Huo Zaiyuan murmurs with a face full of black lines.
He was not so distracted that he missed the fact Lian Xiang possesses black hair around the same length as his.
He was best friends with Tianji, and was originally a Taoist practitioner. I dont know why he suddenly entered Buddhism, but one can tell his identity just by feeling his spiritual signature. Carrying the person in his embrace back to bed and setting him down on the blanket, Long Zhanye brushes their lips together. Disregarding the matter between Tianji and that little monk, I care more about another matter.
What is it? Huo Zaiyuans heartbeat thumps rapidly as he gazes up at the handsome face, as though a deer is jumping around in his chest.
This man above him is clearly the same person as he was before, but for some reason, Huo Zaiyuan feels there is something amisslike he has become a tad more enigmatic
Restoring your cultivation. Thin lips curving upwards, Long Zhanyes fingers tread lightly through the long, silky hair, stroking the top of his head and moving down, past his neck to rub lightly across his collarbone.
Uh-huh, that is indeed an important matter. What should we do? Huo Zaiyuan tilts his head to the side in question, gaze wandering over Long Zhanyes face.
Why does he get the feeling that this man is planning to do something indecent?
Although I really want to wait for you to take the initiativecurrently, you have no strength to move, so forget it. You only need to be good and lie down. Just let me take care of everything and love you dearly. Long Zhanyes voice drops to a sensual whisper, closing the distance between them and all but ravaging those delectable, red lips.
Wh what mmmWhat are you talking about?!
Huo Zaiyuan is given no chance to voice his question as he is drawn into a deep and slow kiss. At the same moment, Long Zhanyes lean body settles down above him, pinning him to the bed. Nimble fingers and calloused hands drag two scorching trails up his hips, his waist
That big goddamn rascal
Looking at the beet red face of the youth beneath him, Long Zhanye is well aware that a large part of it is due to fury.
As I have already told you before, Heaven Entrapment Path practised by most Taoists only has six levels. The Mysterious Nine Dragons Heaven method little Yuan practises has nine levels. Now that your inner spiritual energy has depleted to nothing, relying on the Immortal peach tree alone to fully recover will be insufficient. Therefore, there is only one other method to return you back to full strength. You need to break through the sixth level and reach the seventh
Then Ill just go ahead and do that. Come on, get off me already Pushing with all his strength against the man on top of him, Huo Zaiyuan becomes increasingly annoyed when he discovers he might as well be shoving a brick wall.
Beloved, do you know how to break through to the seventh level? Instead of easing off Huo Zaiyuan, Long Zhanye deliberately presses himself closer, lips brushing against a delicate earlobe.
Hot breath tickling his sensitive ear, Huo Zaiyuans blush intensifies, turning his face redder.
Meditate, absorbing dormant spiritual energydammit! Get off! Giving up shoving at Long Zhanye, he is reduced to beating his fists on the broad shoulders and back. He is seriously considering whether biting him would work.
No, no ~ Beloved, the seventh level is very different from the sixth. From here on, dual cultivation is required ~ !
