The years I was in the human world

Chapter 145: Unbearable Romance

"How do you recognize me?" Lu Zhouxue answered the question irrelevantly. His appearance now is completely different from that of more than 200 years ago, and his relationship with Wei Ruge was not very close in the past. How could the other party recognize him at a glance?

"I didn't recognize you at first." Wei Ruge smiled bitterly, with a hint of regret on his face. "A few months ago, Peacock led a large group of people to the Yellow Spring Secret Realm below the old capital. After she came back, she came to see me and mentioned you, so I knew."

"She has strayed too far from her original intention, and I can't persuade her." Talking about Peacock, Wei Ruge felt more regret than disappointment. Recalling what Peacock said when she stood outside his bamboo house on the day she left, he even hated himself for being so hard-hearted and shutting her out.

"Junior Master, I am leaving. This time, whether I live or die, everything will be settled. I have seen the gods above the nine heavens, and they are no match for me now, but I still have to give it a try. If I survive by chance, I will kowtow and apologize to Master. If not..."

Before Kong Que set out, she was prepared for a 100% chance of death. How could Wei Ruge not have anticipated her fate at that time? However, they both knew that they could not persuade each other, and not stopping Kong Que was already the biggest concession Wei Ruge had made. He could not do anything to help the tyrant.

Now, several months have passed, and there is still no news from Kong Que. On the contrary, the evil spirits that have been lingering in Dongshan for years have disappeared. I think she died for her ambition. How can the gift of heaven be so easy to take?

Wei Ruge thought sadly, but he didn't know what to do for his misguided nephew. He could only try to get some information about her whereabouts from Lu Zhouxue in a humble manner at this moment: "Brother, I know you are not an ordinary person. Can you tell me how Kong Qing is doing now?"

"Leave the immortal bones and enter the animal path." Lu Zhouxue said. Upon hearing this, Wei Ruge was startled at first, and then he breathed a sigh of relief visibly. Seeing the former looking at him with a little doubt, he explained: "Even if it is entering the animal path, it is better than turning into ashes."

Wei Ruge paused after he finished speaking, and then asked, "Brother, why are you here? Are you here for the magic weapon?"

"No." Lu Zhouxue shook his head, not wanting to elaborate on his plan. Wei Ruge understood what he meant and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he said, "The secret realm is dangerous after all. Senior Brother, do you want to come with us?"

"No, I just want to get some things. I won't bother you any more." Lu Zhouxue couldn't say that the immortal cave was his and the danger inside posed no danger to him, so he politely declined Wei Ruge's invitation. However, his words were seen as arrogance in the eyes of others.

"Why are you so arrogant?" The young man muttered unhappily. His voice was not loud, but the monks were very sharp and could hear it. Wei Ruge rebuked him lightly, "Don't be rude."

"Uncle Wei! Did I say something wrong?" The young man became even more unhappy when he saw that Wei Ruge not only did not support him but even scolded him.

"Shut up. If you don't do that, go back to your father." Wei Ruge didn't indulge him. After scolding him, he apologized to Lu Zhouxue, "Brother, don't blame me. This kid was corrupted by his father."

"Nothing." Lu Zhouxue shook his head. He didn't bother with the kid. However, he looked at the boy and found him familiar, so he asked his name, "What's your name?"

"Oh, this is Jiang Qiao, Jiang Ling's youngest son." Wei Ruge said.

……

Because he was traveling with Wei Ruge, the rest of the journey was smooth, and no one was so blind as to offend Lu Zhouxue. When he arrived at the immortal cave in Phoenix Ridge, he did not want to attract attention, so he symbolically handed over a spiritual weapon, then said goodbye to Wei Ruge and went in alone.

This so-called immortal cave was actually a part of the old Luzhou Xueling Sea. It was a world of its own with opportunities as well as crises, but fortunately it was his own thing and he did not encounter any trouble after entering the secret realm.

We arrived at our destination without any obstructions. It was a deep pool hidden in a secluded valley. The surface of the water was sparkling like a mirror. Willow branches hung down on both sides, swaying gracefully in the wind, giving a sense of quietness and seclusion from the world.

What Lu Zhouxue wanted to find was under the pool. His clothes were heavy and the water was deep, which was a bit of a hindrance. Besides, no one else could enter here, so he simply took off his clothes, shoes and socks, and only put on a gauze inner garment before diving into the water.

The water was cold, and even with his spiritual energy protecting him, he still felt the chill. The deeper he dived, the less he could see the light of the sky. Finally, he sank to the bottom, where tens of thousands of broken swords and remnants of weapons were deposited at the bottom of the deep pool. At a glance, it was impossible to tell how thick the pile was.

In the center of the bottom of the pool lay a stone coffin wrapped in countless iron chains. The coffin was covered with spells of suppression, and after thousands of years it still emitted a faint golden light. Lu Zhouxue stepped on the remnants on the ground and swam towards the sarcophagus, and in a few seconds he pulled open the iron chains wrapped around it.

He was about to push open the coffin lid, but when his hand touched the runes, he suddenly felt a pain. He quickly retracted his hand, only to see blood on his palm, as if the runes had backfired. Seeing this, Lu Zhouxue frowned slightly in displeasure and said to himself, "It's been ten thousand years, and it hasn't subsided yet."

The talisman could not be removed in a short time, but Lu Zhouxue did not plan to give up. The golden light emitted by the talisman was already very dim. If he opened it forcibly, it was not impossible. Moreover, the choice of the master by Heaven was imminent and he could not wait.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhouxue gritted his teeth, wrapped a layer of magic power on his hands, and then pushed the coffin despite the backlash of the talisman. The talisman had been worn away by time for ten thousand years, and finally became completely ineffective under Lu Zhouxue's violent destruction this time.

As the spell lost its effect, the sarcophagus was opened and the entire immortal cave shook three times in uneasiness. Lu Zhouxue's hands were bitten back and his bones were exposed, but he didn't care. He climbed into the coffin almost fanatically. It was a corpse with its eyes open and a broken blade stuck in its chest.

"Xiao Yueheng, ah Xiao Yueheng, you have planned everything, but you didn't expect that I could find this place after ten thousand years." Lu Zhouxue muttered to himself as he took off the broken blade from the chest of the corpse. The moment he took off the broken blade, the corpse turned into powder as if it had just died.

Lu Zhouxue came out of the pool wet with the broken blade. He climbed to the shore, but found that the clothes, shoes and socks he had taken off earlier were missing. The happy expression on his face was gradually filled with confusion: Where are his clothes?

"I have not learned poetry and literature for twenty years, and now I am finally here to imitate the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl." A frivolous voice sounded in Lu Zhouxue's ears. Suddenly, a hot chest pressed against her back, and someone's hand hooked on her waist. That person clearly got the upper hand, but he still teased her with his mouth.

"Such delicate skin and soft waist, she is truly a water fairy, Mianmian, what do you think, is she or isn't she?"

"A Zhuo." Lu Zhouxue's vigilance turned into a helpless sigh when he realized it was him. He reached out and patted the other person's hand on his waist, and said softly, "Let go. I'm not wearing any clothes. What a shame."

"Okay, we haven't seen each other for two months, and you don't miss me at all." Xiao Fengzhuo pouted pretending to be aggrieved, but still let go of the person in his arms obediently.

"How could I not think about it?" Lu Zhouxue laughed softly, turned around in Xiao Fengzhuo's arms, leaned over and kissed his lips. The latter's breath was held, his heartbeat was pounding, he felt the blood in his body boiling in an instant, and then all rushed to his lower abdomen.

The body's reaction was more honest than the human heart, and more straightforward and passionate. No one knew who got confused first, and they just rolled together in each other's arms, their lips and tongues entangled in a kiss. Xiao Fengzhuo's neatly dressed clothes were torn to tatters by Lu Zhouxue, leaving half of his chest exposed.

Lu Zhouxue was not very dignified. He was not wearing any clothes to begin with. Now he was feeling aroused for no apparent reason. His heart was surging with desire and he leaned against Xiao Fengzhuo's thigh, which made people blush.

"Do it?" Xiao Fengzhuo looked at the person buried in the grass and asked softly.

"Come." Lu Zhouxue let out a breath of desire, raised her hand to climb onto Xiao Fengzhuo's shoulder, leaned against his chest in a rather dependent manner, and added softly, "You come."

If ideals and love are destined to be incompatible, then today's subservience should be considered as an apology.

"So obedient?" Xiao Fengzhuo chuckled in Lu Zhouxue's ear, holding his waist with one hand and sliding the other down his spine, "Does it hurt?"

"...Ha..." Lu Zhouxue snorted meaninglessly. He shook his head in Xiao Fengzhuo's arms, and when he turned his head, he saw a scar on the other's exposed neck. He touched it with heartache and asked, "How did you get this wound?"

"...Hmm...let me think about it." Xiao Fengzhuo tightly hooked his arm around Lu Zhouxue's waist, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He must have felt bad too. "It seems to be when I was 20 years old... probably? The rebels rushed in and pulled me out of bed. I was dragged to the execution ground and my head was chopped off while I was dazed."

"What nonsense are you talking about..." Lu Zhouxue felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and couldn't help but slap Xiao Fengzhuo who was talking nonsense, but the latter didn't care and teased him nonchalantly, which made Lu Zhouxue feel ashamed but also felt some unspeakable pleasure. He exhaled and sighed, "Azhuo, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Yes, I was joking." Xiao Fengzhuo smiled and didn't dwell on this topic too much. He worked carefully with his hands, charming and ambiguous, but his words were filled with some inexplicable regret, "Mianmian, if I'm gone, will you miss me?"

If he competes with Xiao Jin, if he wins, then life will be peaceful and quiet. But if he loses, his fate will probably not be much better than that of Peacock. He will eventually have to return what he got to its original owner. But as the Heavenly Dao says, without his origin, he is no different from other living beings.

The remaining years will probably be about birth, old age, sickness and death, and then all the past will be forgotten in the repeated reincarnations. That’s probably how it is.

Actually, it's better this way. It's better to have a glimpse of romance before parting than to be confused in this world and leave nothing behind. Xiao Fengzhuo thought cheerfully.

"...Where do you want to go?" Lu Zhouxue's whole body tensed up in an instant, and she hugged Xiao Fengzhuo's shoulders even tighter. Tears rolled down uncontrollably, like a tangerine blossom that could not withstand a night of heavy rain. Her whole body was wet. "Where are you going to leave me?"

"I don't know either." Xiao Fengzhuo smiled lightly, changed direction and continued to forge ahead, but his tone was still lonely, "In this world of mortals, there must be a place to go."

But maybe his body will return to dry bones and be buried in the earth.

He was slapped unexpectedly on the face. It didn't hurt, but it was more of a warning than a punishment. He lowered his head and saw Lu Zhouxue staring at him with watery eyes. It didn't seem like she was showing lust, but more like she was feeling sorry for him: "What's wrong with you, Ah Zhuo? Don't say such things."

"Okay, I was wrong." Xiao Fengzhuo nodded, not caring, but admitting his mistake and accepting the good advice readily. After saying that, he lowered his head and exchanged a passionate kiss with Lu Zhouxue. That's all, why did he say these words to make his Mianmian sad for no reason? Just leave quietly like every time before, right?

"...Azhuo, Azhuo..." Lu Zhouxue didn't know why Xiao Fengzhuo said these, but thinking about the friendship between him and him that could not have both of them, he was also aroused with regret, and his heart ached. He seemed to understand why Xiao Yueheng didn't want Xiao Jin to rely on Tiandao. Only when he is free from all worries can he cut off all emotions and desires.

Xiao Fengzhuo spread a blanket on the grass and put the man who was still in a daze on it, then raised his head and took a breath. His clothes had slipped to his arms, and a few beads of sweat were splashed on his bare chest and chin, slowly flowing down his skin.

When Lu Zhouxue came to her senses, she saw Xiao Fengzhuo with sweat on his forehead and his chest with smooth muscular lines rising and falling slightly with his breathing. He was beautiful, strong, and extremely ambiguous, a completely seductive beauty.

"Is Ah Zhuo not coming?" Lu Zhouxue licked his lips while looking at Xiao Fengzhuo. The pleasure just now still lingered in his limbs. He noticed that Xiao Fengzhuo's lower abdomen was still bulging.

"Mianmian, let me do it?" Xiao Fengzhuo smiled and turned Lu Zhouxue over.

"It has come to this, Ah Zhuo's question is unnecessary." Lu Zhouxue felt somewhat embarrassed by this posture, but he did not struggle. He just buried his head like an ostrich, as if this could cover up the unspeakable shame.

"That's right, but we won't do it today." Xiao Fengzhuo picked up Lu Zhouxue, wrapped her in a blanket, and buried her head in his neck. It was worth his life to have such a person. "Wait until our wedding night, and then we'll do it to the end."

"Ha... you stupid cat, you are so particular, but it makes me--" Lu Zhouxue chuckled. Hearing Xiao Feng's words that spoiled the mood, he couldn't help but turned his head and laughed and scolded. But before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a damp heat on his shoulder. He paused and hesitated, "Are you... crying?"

"Well, I'm so happy." Xiao Fengzhuo whispered, choking a little, "Mianmian, I feel like I'm dreaming right now."

"You...when are we going to get married?" Lu Zhouxue asked.

"The ninth day of next month, I've checked, it's an auspicious day." Xiao Fengzhuo said.

The ninth day of the next month? It was after the Heavenly Dao chose the Master. By then, he would have given up all feelings and love, so how could he have the chance to get married? Lu Zhouxue couldn't help thinking, as if a basin of cold water had fallen on his head, completely extinguishing his lust.
