The more the treatment progressed for Jiang Zheliu, the more medication was required.
The effects of these medicines varied but not one of them could be left out.
His eyes had finally recovered, which was something worthy of celebration.
Wen Renye personally removed the long silk blindfold for him, he held the other’s cheeks and stared at him for a while, after a long time he finally said: “…… You look even better than before.”
Jiang Zheliu was once again able to see the other clearly again, but he still found this intense light to be a little uncomfortable, so he closed his eyes and then re-opened them. He paused for a moment, before answering: “Maybe it’s even better in your dreams.”
He was just joking, but the little devil’s dreams were really about him.
Wen Renye listened to these words and could not help but think of some messy things he’d dreamt about, just as his devil heart was starting to roam wild, he saw Jiang Zheliu casually slide out a book from the side of the bed.
On the book cover were clearly written the words 《The Great Way》.
His eyes had gotten better and with it, the pleasure of reading books was restored.
Wen Renye looked at him with a calm face whilst he began to flick through the pages, he was still thinking about the book that Jiang Zheliu and Yu Jinnian had talked about some days ago. He reached out and put his hand on the edge of one of the pages and asked: “You couldn’t read it before so why did you put it by the bed?”
Jiang Zheliu knew that Wen Renye wanted to read it, and had just asked for the sake of it, so he generously gave him a glance of its content, and calmly said: “To raise up the pillow.”
…… It was a really good practical answer.……
Wen Renye took the book, and reviewed the content issues. His attitude was no different from a strict JJWXC audit, he looked at it for a long time but did not find any content below the neck. Feeling assured that this was just a popular fiction book he gave it back to him.
The little devil had just sat down feeling reassured when he heard his beloved’s calm-to-the-bone soft inquiry.
“Your devil race, how exactly do you reproduce?”
Wen Renye’s heart skipped a beat, thinking about the mating methods in the Devil Realm that were hard to reveal and hard to describe, and then he looked at the clear as ice and clean as jade Jiang Zheliu in front of him. He had a feeling that his future prospects were bleak, he hesitantly asked: “Are you really interested?”
Not particularly interested, but the content of the book from Yu Jinnian’s private collection had aroused his curiosity. Jiang Zheliu also just casually asked him but did not expect Wen Renye to really answer, after all, this kind of thing can be counted as private.
If Wen Renye really wanted to share this private matter with him, he estimated that his unstable bones could probably not bear it.
“It’s okay if you don’t talk about it.” Jiang Zheliu turned a page over, “I don’t have to know, I just got reminded by it, and thought I’d ask.”
Within the Cultivation World, he was indeed the most erudite person. It was just that the scope of erudition did not include these things, each art and method had its own speciality, and it was not like he was an erotic books salesman.
He said it rather calmly, but the little devil lord had already become preoccupied by this question. Wen Renye thought about it for a long while, and finally couldn’t hold it back any longer, so he pressed down on the other’s hand that was flicking through the book, he gradually leaned in closer and breathed in deeply the other’s scent, and then whispered apprehensively: “I’ll tell you?”
Jiang Zheliu was a tireless seeker of knowledge, so naturally he did not refuse. He closed the book gracefully and looked at the little devil lord in front of him.
Wen Renye lowered his head against Jiang Zheliu’s ear, his breath was warm, he whispered and muttered to him for a while, telling him about the most common types of devils and briefly described their methods, then he paused, the tone of voice changed to have some apprehension: “Devils with royal blood are a little different.”
The ones he had described just now were hideous, but they were still within Jiang Zheliu’s expectations and not particularly strange.
He nodded and raised his eyes to look at him, not thinking for a moment about what he would hear next.
“In the case of the original form, the duration will be very long.” Wen Renye whispered, “You will not be able to stand it.”
Jiang Zheliu stopped moving, the base of his ear was unbearably hot, too hot. But as if nothing was out of the ordinary, he picked up the tea from a side table, avoiding the other, he lowered his head to drink a mouthful.
“There’s a knot in the middle that gets stuck in there.” Wen Renye said with a slight pause, “If it’s not moist enough, it will really hurt.”
Jiang Zheliu couldn’t listen to any more of it. Due to his age and experience, even if he saw an erotic picture in front of him usually he would not even bat an eyelid. But when the little devil lord was holding his hand, whilst whispering into his ear about these things, he really felt like he couldn’t take it any longer. It seemed that although he had acquired so much experience reading and looking at those erotic books but it was as if all that experience had been fed to a dog, in its entirety, not even leaving a drop.
In the end, he should have not been curious about such things just because of that popular science book, the reason why he was so erudite was because his curiosity and desire to know things was relatively strong, he felt that knowing one more thing, was like another additional invisible weight …… But he had now retired, he did not need to exhaust his thoughts and ingenuity for the Ling Xiao Sect, and he did not need to continue this habit of acquiring knowledge with that.
Jiang Zheliu was slightly vexed, he pondered whilst saying, “Oh so it’s like that, I know now, you do not need to continue ……”
“Although the human form of the devil race is normally constructed, when maintaining this form, devils actually have no ability to reproduce.”
Wen Renye stared at him, “One must at least be partially transformed into devil form to have the ability to reproduce …… except for lust devils.”
Jiang Zheliu felt a little uneasy under his focused gaze, he moved a few inches to the inner side of the bed, and gazed back at him and said: “partially transformed… meaning?”
Wen Renye lowered his head, buried it in his shoulder and paused to take a deep breath, then after another moment, backed off slightly by a few inches.
Jiang Zheliu saw the devil horns at the top of the other’s head.
They were covered with blood-red patterns, with the devil’s script winding round and round layer upon layer upwards. The colour at the bottom was dark purple, so dark it was almost pitch black.
He had always wanted to touch them.
He didn’t dare to at this moment.
Jiang Zheliu was not afraid that Wen Renye would not allow it, he was mainly concerned with the current situation it seemed a little too delicate.
He felt an indescribable energy surge up in the other, both dangerous and captivating, the faint pine and cypress scent mixed with desire…… He felt that as he was the senior here, he should be able to distinguish between the scent of a young predator and the potential danger of this moment.
Although he usually joked that the other was a great devil but Jiang Zheliu did not really want to be ravaged just as someone’s hobby.
He retracted his own hand and tried to inquire some more in the name of pure knowledge: “In what kind of situations will you generally partially transform in Devil form?”
“When battle spirit boils over, strenuous activity, and when body temperature increases.” Wen Renye unable to keep his eyes off of him, “And …… during courtship.”
Jiang Zheliu: “…… That….. is quite spiritual.”
Not only spiritual, but simply put it was extremely intelligent.
It was not only his partial devil form which was spiritual, there was also the dependency that the two of them had developed as a result of their divine interconnection. Although Jiang Zheliu had been very restrained, his eyes still lingered on the pair of devil horns for a few seconds.
And Wen Renye who was mindful of the other’s every move, could see the other’s thoughts at a glance, he didn’t mind in the slightest and lowered his head for him to touch.
Jiang Zheliu eventually failed to resist the temptation.
The pattern that coiled upwards covered with devil’s script felt a bit rough to touch and a little hard.
The blood-coloured patterns on the devil horns burned hotter than the surrounding area, and seemed to be steeped in a dense devilish energy.
He moved his hand away and said after a long time: “It actually suits you, fierce-looking.”
Wen Renye half embraced him, his voice was muffled, he mumbled “en”, the other was not sure what he was thinking. After a while, he leaned in closer to Jiang Zheliu’s ear, and whispered: “I really want ……”
Only these three words.
He didn’t say the rest out loud.
He didn’t say it, but Jiang Zheliu could already guess.
Jiang Zheliu helplessly reached out and embraced him back, as if he was calming a manic-depressive beast in heat: “No you can’t, you’ll break me.”
The person in the arms of this great devil was made of crystal, touch him and he would break.
Wen Renye did not speak, and just hugged him a bit tighter, just when Jiang Zheliu thought that the other was loosening his grip, he was suddenly pinned down on the bed.
Although he was being held down, in fact, Wen Renye did not use much force. Wen Renye treated him like his treasure, and actually didn’t use any force at all.
The little devil buried into his shoulder, he whispered: “I have to return to the Devil Realm in a couple of days to deal with a few things. The Xuan Tongju Gate cannot be left in half-battle. You should wear my bracelet, you are not allowed to take it off, if something happens I will definitely come back.”
“Ok.” Jiang Zheliu said “If you’re gone for a long time, when you come back just go directly to Zhongnan Mountain.”
According to Yu Jinnian, with the resurrection stone to support his recovery, once the prescription became fixed, it was the same wherever he went to recuperate and retire, and there was no need to stay in Dan Xin Monastery any longer.
Wen Renye felt a little uneasy about Jiang Zheliu going back by himself, but after glancing at the bracelet on the other’s wrist, he didn’t say much but took another sniff of the person in his arms and slowly said, “I want to ……”
“…… You don’t want to.”
Jiang Zheliu interrupted him in time.
It was not that he was trying to block the little devil, but this thing was really not possible.
The only thought that preoccupied Jiang Zheliu was the best way to preserve his own body for a little longer.
Wen Renye fell silent again.
He was indeed very patient, but the aura from the fusion of the heavenly spirit body and the resurrection stone on Jiang Zheliu’s body was really too strong.
Wen Renye was already a half-step golden immortal, he had fasted for a long time and should not have a sense of hunger, but with Jiang Zheliu in his arms, that kind of wonderful, indescribable “hunger”, was really tormenting the devil’s mind.
Jiang Zheliu slowly soothed him until the other’s breath got slower and slower. The other’s slightly warm lips touched the corner of his mouth, holding a surge of heated desire.
Wen Renye paused for a moment.
This pause seemed to give Wen Renye the courage to continue. He found that Jiang Zheliu was not disgusted by the kiss so he tentatively moved over and gently pressed up against his lips again, tracing the other’s smooth and soft lips.
Jiang Zheliu’s body temperature was very low, and with the heavenly spirit body, for the natural dry heat of the devil it was so comfortable to hold, making him simply not want to let go.
He did not dare to do anything too out of the ordinary, just a very intimate and soft kiss, he waited until Jiang Zheliu’s breathing caught up to his own then he whispered: “…… You like it?”
Although he knew that the other was not disgusted by it, he did not want Jiang Zheliu to put up with it just for him.
After a few moments, Jiang Zheliu coughed softly before saying, “You seem to …… have become more courageous.”
Wen Renye felt apprehensive, afraid that he did not like it: “Really……”
“En.” Jiang Zheliu said lying on the bed, he let out a long breath, feeling that his heartbeat was getting back to normal along with the other’s. He smiled a little, and slowly said: “You’ve progressed.”
Wen Renye stared blankly, shaken by his beloved’s smile, he was a little fazed. He lowered his head to stare at Jiang Zheliu, his purple eyes sparkled: “…… Then, then let me kiss you again ……”
————
Two days later, the Devil Lord made continual warnings and advice before he reluctantly went back to the Devil Realm, giving a final longing look that showed that he was extremely reluctant to leave.
Chang Qian and Ah-Chu finally had the opportunity to get close to their Shenxian gege. Usually, as long as there was Wen Renye at the Jiang Zheliu side, it was simply not the turn of others to intervene. It was seemingly impermeable, as if Shenxian gege was unable to take care of himself at all.
Chang Qian happily changed the tea in the teapot, and then prepared to come up to the human-shaped catnip to take in a deep breath when he saw Jiang Zheliu sitting on his beloved chair reading a book.
He was reading the book given by the Monastery Master, the book cover was simple and unadorned but still impressive, the title was very proper, but the content seemed to be something children should not read.
Chang Qian just swept a glance and did not pay too much attention to it, nor did he know what it was about. It was at this moment that Jiang Zheliu flicked to the last page of the book, still unable to completely recover his senses from the wonderful knowledge he had just read.
He raised his eyes pensively, looked at Chang Qian for a while, and suddenly asked: “Xiao Qian, your mother is a snake demon, right?”
Chang Qian did not know why he would suddenly ask this, he was half-demon half0devil, his father was a devil, his mother was a demon, so in this moment he nodded in agreement: “My mother is the youngest daughter of the Snake King, she was not married to my father. My father’s first wife was a lust devil, but she died long ago, he later met my mother …… but this was seen as diluting the royal devil bloodline. After my father died, my half-brother has been trying to kill me, but luckily little uncle stopped him.”
Jiang Zheliu was silent for a long time, it was unclear where his focus had drifted to, he pondered deeply: “…… Your mother is a real hero.”
Chang Qian：“……*hiccup*, ehhhh?”
The more the treatment progressed for Jiang Zheliu, the more medication was required.
The effects of these medicines varied but not one of them could be left out.
His eyes had finally recovered, which was something worthy of celebration.
Wen Renye personally removed the long silk blindfold for him, he held the other’s cheeks and stared at him for a while, after a long time he finally said: “…… You look even better than before.”
