At Ji Luolian’s words, the surroundings fell into silence.
Fu Wang stood next to the rockery, one hand bracing on an artificial rock. He didn’t turn to look at Shu Yu, but instead he looked straight at Ji Luolian, not saying a word.
There was a long pause, long enough that Shu Yu, who had just been backstabbed by her teammate, began to feel alarmed. Her dirty laundry had been unexpectedly exposed in front of Fu Wang, and it felt like her young maiden’s heart had been thrown into a meat grinder and then blended into a lump of meat mush. The shame made her want nothing but turn back time and, first thing first, go knock out that rascal Ji Luolian.
Shu Yu nervously looked at Fu Wang; she saw him hanging his head and tucking his hands under his sleeves. That hand that had been pressed against fake rocks even had veins throbbing visibly.
She couldn’t really understand what Fu Wang was thinking in this moment. Just as she was about to say something to break the weird atmosphere, she saw Fu Wang slowly turn his head to look at her, his lips slowly stretching into a smile and saying blandly, “So these days, Shu Yu and this man slept in the same place? Otherwise, how could he have heard Shu Yu talking in her sleep?”
Shu Yu swore she saw Fu Wang’s pupils dilating into a thin straight line, instantly turning his aura extremely dangerous —— The only thing left was writing “Go on – tell me the relationship between you and this man – did you guys sleep together – why could he hear you sleep-talking – go on say something!” on the face of the current Boss.
Shu Yu: “Fu Wang… You, calm down a little.” Someone save me! Fu Wang’s face was so freaking scary! Even though I’m the one forced to embarrassingly confess, where is your focus centered on, Boss! Also, do you really not feel like a jealous boyfriend demanding answers from a girl?!
Shu Yu couldn’t help her face hardening as she got nervous, and adding her rigid tone, she looked downright noble, cold, and stiff.
Hearing this, Fu Wang averted his eyes and closed them. As he opened them again, they had regained their usual calmness, although it only looked calm on the surface. He didn’t look at Shu Yu again and neither did he mention the previous topic, instead he walked straight in front of Ji Luolian and said, “The Pure Golden Lotus is imperative to me.”
To the side, Shu Yu finally managed to calm her heart, and quickly walked to stand next to Fu Wang. She told Ji Luolian, “You’re aware I am Tieneng Jinyu. I have many treasures, I can exchange them with you as long as you’re willing; there’s no need for us to fight until we’re both worn out.”
After all, they’ve spent time together for a while; even if it was a pet she was raising for a few days, she wouldn’t be able to outright kill it, not to mention she doesn’t kill people. The Pure Golden Lotus was very important to Fu Wang, so if possible, she wanted to settle this matter peacefully.
But generally speaking, according to the standard plotline of a novel, during these times both sides would not easily concede and then she’d get caught in the middle, troubled and sorrowful, unable to choose a side. She would undergo internal struggle and testing from the righteousness inside her soul, and finally for Fu Wang’s sake, she will have no choice but act against her conscience. Then thereafter she would feel guilty and mope daily because of it, and in the end she and Fu Wang would fight and break up… Tsk, that was just tragic!

Once kickstarted, Shu Yu’s brain couldn’t be stopped from making up an entire plot of their situation. Her expression became nervous at once.
And, hearing her words, Fu Wang’s eyes flashed and when he turned to look at Ji Luolian, he couldn’t quite control the slight killing intent that leaked from the depths of his eyes. Shu Yu actually trusted the Spirit Clan’s young boy this much. Not only arriving together, but also letting him know of her true identity, and even now she was eagerly protecting him.
Was Shu Yu afraid he will kill this young boy? Yes, he was indeed a despicable, shameless, ruthless person, and Shu Yu knew it, that’s why she was this worried for the young boy. All along, Shu Yu had only trusted him, she revealed her true feelings only in front of him and was only nice to him, that’s why he gradually thought his victory was at hand. But inside his heart, there always existed the worry he will lose her. No matter how powerful the person, no one wouldn’t be able to remain uncaring in front of these troublesome feelings.
In his mind, Fu Wang couldn’t help imagining Shu Yu and this young boy from the Spirit Clan spending time together. Just like how Shu Yu spent time with him, would she worry and take care of this person? Would she prepare food for this person, would she chat with him idly, would she give him presents, would she… like this person?
Fu Wang’s face was unreadable. A few drops of crimson blood trickled through his clenched hands and splashed on the ground.
Ji Luolian’s face was flat as he observed the two’s changes of expression. Shu Yu’s eyes held slight remorse but were mostly filled with the determination of having decided something; he didn’t doubt that if he and Fu Wang were to fight that Shu Yu will definitely help Fu Wang. Well, that was very normal, it was obvious Shu Yu really, really liked Fu Wang.
As for that Fu Wang, he looked like he wanted to murder him. Hadn’t he said the guy – Fu Wang – that Shu Yu kept talking about was a typical demon? Look, that distorted jealously and overpowering possessiveness, and that pair of dark and cold eyes —— This, was a demon Ji Luolian familiar with, the same kind of demon as himself.
Even locked inside the formation, Ji Luolian didn’t express any fear on his face. He dangled the Pure Gold Lotus and asked Fu Wang, “You want it?”

“Yes,” Fu Wang said.
“Why do you want it?”
Hearing Ji Luolian’s question, Shu Yu knew he was about to start asking another hundred thousand ‘why’s again, but Fu Wang didn’t go along with his bullshit. Fu Wang could be heard countering, “Then why do you want it? Why do you want to know what I want? And what will you do after knowing what I want?”
Three questions at once. Ji Luolian surprisingly shut up, completely unlike the unending questions when he was with Shu Yu. Shu Yu suddenly understood the trick to dealing with Young Master Ji’s many questions.
Ji Luolian stopped asking, but he abruptly opened his mouth and bit one lotus petal, taking a small bite with a ‘kachi’ sound and he chewed as if tasting something.
Shu Yu: o(╯□╰)o Don’t use your mouth when we can talk things through! You can’t out-talk so you’re taking it out on the Golden Lotus!?
Ji Luolian’s chewing paused. He swallowed the small gold petal, thoughtfully glancing at the gold lotus, then unexpectedly threw the lotus to Fu Wang, who was standing outside the formation. The formation trapping him automatically disappeared once the Pure Golden Lotus fell outside. When Ji Luolian saw this, a knowing look flashed through his eyes; the gold lotus was the eye of the formation, so once it left the formation would naturally break. Fu Wang’s target was really only the gold lotus.
Ji Luolian’s face was flat as he said, “Out of consideration for Shu Yu, since you want this, I’ll give it to you; after all Shu Yu had once risked her life entering a den of bandits to save me, and these days she’s also been very good to me, always protecting me.”
“What a waste of time, I’m going back first.” He looked at the two one last time and vanished on the spot. He left Penglai Mansion, returning to the Clear Wilderness.
Shu Yu didn’t have time to react. What was this development? Young Master Ji gave the Pure Golden Lotus to Fu Wang, just like that? She didn’t trust that rascal with unestablished motives could have good intentions. Something was definitely odd. And the words he said before leaving, did he think her troubles weren’t big enough and had to add fuel to the fire?

But no matter what, Fu Wang obtained the Pure Golden Lotus without dying, which was always a good… thing… Huh, now that only she and Fu Wang were left, it felt like something will happen.
As expected, just as she thought this, she saw Fu Wang turn to her. After Ji Luolian left, he stopped that fake smile he wore like a mask.
Shu Yu saw him look over and consciously started explaining, raising a finger: “One, I don’t like Ji Luolian, I was just borrowing his key to come here because we met coincidentally. Aside from saving him once nothing else happened.”
Then she raised a second finger. “Two, last time when I heard that woman say the Penglai Mansion had a Pure Golden Lotus. I thought you maybe had a use for it, that’s why I secretly came here, so I could take it back for you. That’s what happened.”
She thought Fu Wang’s expression would soften a bit after hearing her explanation, or maybe explain to her why he was here when he should be in seclusion.
But she didn’t expect Fu Wang to neither get angry like before, nor turn gentle like he always was. He stared at her in a daze, seeming like he didn’t hear what she was saying, looking at her with a somewhat indescribable expression of, sadness and pain?
Shu Yu couldn’t figure out why he showed that expression and didn’t dare open her mouth carelessly. The good thing was that Fu Wang didn’t make her wait for long.
He slowly walked up to her and stretched out his hands, bloodied for the sake of protecting her, and faintly brushed against her cheeks, baring his complicated expression before her, and softly asked, “If I were willing to keep that appearance of a half-demonized young boy forever, will Shu Yu then be willing to like me only, and never look at another again?”
Shu Yu: “Ah?” Why the sudden question? Wait, she wasn’t the kind of person with weird tastes in young boys! She didn’t need him doing things to that extent, either!
Shu Yu: “Wait a moment, Fu Wang, did you maybe misunderstand something?”
Fu Wang didn’t reply, only gazing at her with a miserable expression, his gloomy eyes capable of making any onlooker’s heart ache. He had just been injured, his hair was messy over his shoulders, and his face and lips were extremely pale. The ground under his feet was patchy with blood, and his sleeves were also stained with blood.
Being stared at like that made Shu Yu uneasy. In a moment of anxiety, she gritted her teeth and decided to abandon her previously destroyed bits of shame, and boldly said, “You just heard it, I like you. I don’t have weird tastes for young boys younger than me. And as for ears and tail, it’s only because they are Fu Wang’s that I like them so much. I haven’t liked anyone else this much, only you.”
Once Shu Yu stopped holding back and started confessing, she was simply inhuman. It was so lethal Fu Wang almost couldn’t keep up his pitiful act.
Suppressing the overpowering joy inside him, his eyelashes covering the laughter in his eyes, Fu Wang suddenly embraced Shu Yu, hiding his expression in an angle she couldn’t see, and faintly murmured in her ear, “But Shu Yu, you’ve never believed I like you. You don’t believe me, but I can wait until you do. However, Shu Yu, do you dare to like me without fear? You don’t dare, you keep trying to back away, isn’t it? Tell me, what do I have to do for you to finally feel safe liking me?”
Fu Wang hugged Shu Yu, gently smelling her scent, his gaze deeply unreadable. “I want to be with Shu Yu. I want to get closer to Shu Yu. I want to embrace Shu Yu in my arms like this all the time. I want Shu Yu to never run away from my affections again… I used to rely on the skills I used to please others to get what I wanted, but when I’m facing you, I don’t know what is the right thing to do. You make me hesitate and lose my hold on all my leverages and my confidence.”

That’s right. He had once wanted to change Shu Yu, but in the end, he realized the one who was changed turned out to be himself. He has succeeded several times in his life, and failed just as many, but only this time, he was willing to admit defeat.
Shu Yu was stiff like a tree, cheeks red enough to drip blood, and after a while choked out a sentence, “I don’t know when I’ll go home, but if I really do… What will happen to you?”
Hearing Shu Yu, Fu Wang knew that he had half-way succeeded. He hugged Shu Yu more tightly and immediately said, “No matter where you are, I’ll always be by your side; wherever you go, I will be there. If there’s really a day when we’re separated, I think I will spend the rest of my lifetime trying to find you, and never regret it! Shu Yu doesn’t need to worry about me. As long as you desire it, I will fulfill your wishes no matter what they are.”
“I have said so before, I will accompany you, I will only belong to you, only you, there will be no one else.”
Shu Yu expressed that the Boss’ romantic speech skill was fully capped. Right now, she had the desire to be very impulsive. Wasn’t this just dating! What was so scary about it! With the conversation reaching this point, if she kept being whiny then she was actually just impotent!
“Shu Yu, Xiao-Yu1, my Xiao-Yu, say yes, please?” Fu Wang was still murmuring in her ear.
Shu Yu felt as if she heard herself say yes in a very small voice. She didn’t dare confirm whether the word was uttered or not, but Fu Wang’s reaction indicated he definitely heard it.
“You said yes, Xiao-Yu, you said yes, right?” Fu Wang straightened and cupped Shu Yu’s reddened cheeks, eyes sparkling with unconcealed delight on his face.
This was Shu Yu’s first time seeing Fu Wang reveal this kind of happy smile, the kind that made his entire person glow; perhaps he always liked playing little tricks for his own purposes, but this kind of smile was very much real. He was extremely happy, so much he didn’t seem like an intelligent Boss but instead like a silly Boss.
“Xiao-Yu, Xiao-Yu, you really said yes, you can’t regret it after saying yes.” Fu Wang bumped his nose against Shu Yu’s, the way his voice suddenly lowered a few tones was so gentle anyone could drown in it.
Shu Yu didn’t have the strength to resist anymore. She was clearly abashed, but she still said, “I won’t regret it.”
“Xiao-Yu.” Fu Wang felt as if something was filling his chest, soft and shivery, making him want to say something uncontrollably. But he already said all the romantic words he could think of, and now his brain couldn’t think of any other words, so he could only say Xiao-Yu to her again. He seemed to have fallen in love with this nickname, saying it over and over again, the more he said it the lower his voice became, the sound so gentle and tender that it ended up disappearing between lips that pressed together at one point.
Fu Wang’s kiss was the same as his person; although gentle, it was forcefully insistent and didn’t allow the chance to retreat. Bit by bit he explored Shu Yu’s lips, tenderness becoming eagerness, longing for every trace of her scent and to dye her scent with his own.
His expression and his body language, every tiny detail was overflowing with his happiness and excitement, simply as if he had thrown away “Fu Wang”’s usual mask of restraint.
Shu Yu hadn’t known that a single “Yes” would be able to make him so happy. But emotion, like an infectious disease, was contagious.
She didn’t know when she started smiling too. Fu Wang let go of her and looked at her eyes, which were dazed and smiling from the kiss, and couldn’t help rubbing her reddened lips again, leaning over her and resuming his intrusion.
At Ji Luolian’s words, the surroundings fell into silence.
Fu Wang stood next to the rockery, one hand bracing on an artificial rock. He didn’t turn to look at Shu Yu, but instead he looked straight at Ji Luolian, not saying a word.
