Arc 5: Chapter 3
Lin Yuan only noticed this detail a few days after he came to this world, when he was rereading the entire plot. When he read this part, he almost exploded on the spot.
What kind of shitty plot was this?! He actually drugged his husband, this crossed the line!!
Luckily, Yu Sui’an was so powerful that Chu Yao couldn’t force him at all, but Lin Yuan wasn’t willing to give the source of evil any chance to take advantage of his husband. If tonight’s situation needed it, he’d be ready to beat Chu Yao into a pig’s head!
Yu Sui’an was the eldest disciple among the seven generations of disciples in Pure Jade Palace. He lived in his own private courtyard called Midnight Rain Pavilion on Ancient Grove Peak. Lin Yuan hid himself atop a sycamore tree right outside the courtyard and waited.
This sycamore tree had been growing for hundreds of years, with lush leaves and thick branches. Lin Yuan leaned comfortably against the trunk and shook his feet in boredom.
Late into the night, a human figure carrying a lantern finally came. The lantern’s fire hazily reflected Chu Yao’s face, which had been delicately dolled up. His eyebrows were thin and straight, his lips were glistening and ruddy, and there were even two small moles, one at the end of each eye.
Arriving in front of the Midnight Rain Pavilion, Chu Yao glanced at the red lacquered food box he carried, which was adorned with intricate floral patterns. His expression was a mix of anticipation and excitement.
During this period of time, he had been pestering Yu Sui’an relentlessly, but he couldn’t even touch the corners of the other’s clothes. The favorability meter hadn't moved a millimeter.
Chu Yao decided to change his strategy and sleep with Yu Sui’an first to satisfy his craving. Yu Sui’an was the most attractive man he'd ever seen, and he must look even more beautiful in bed. Just from thinking about it, Chu Yao felt that he was ready to leak water.
He had also heard that despite Yu Sui’an’s looks, he was a true gentleman. After his first time was taken, Yu Sui’an would definitely take responsibility to the end, Chu Yao thought.
After that, it would be no problem to get Yu Sui’an to fall in love with himself and become his exclusive rose.
Chu Yao pushed open the door and walked inside. He immediately saw the beautiful young man behind the stone table drinking under the moonlight, and he couldn’t help licking his lips. He was itching to see the man’s body under the pure white Taoist robe.
He approached with a practiced soft smile: “Senior Sui’an.”
Yu Sui’an leisurely held the jade cup in his hand, and then glanced at Chu Yao, smiling: “Junior Chu.”
Chu Yao placed the food box on the table and looked at Yu Sui’an with affectionate eyes: “I heard that senior brother was going to enjoy some wine and watch the moon tonight.” He said softly: “So I specifically borrowed the kitchen and prepared a few dishes to pair with your drink. I hope they suit your taste.”
He opened the food box and took out a plate of lotus pod tofu, drunken prawns, and three-flavored meatballs.
Yu Sui’an swayed the cup in his hand, and his pupils were like ancient glazed amber. His gaze was cold and ruthless as if he regarded everything in the world like dust, and nothing was worth his attention.
“Thank you, Junior Chu.” Yu Sui’an said, and raised his chin slightly, signaling to the other person: “I don’t have much to repay your thoughtful gesture. All I have is a simple cup of wine, I hope you won’t think of me as stingy.”
Chu Yao was delighted and he replied quickly: “Of course not.”
He sat down smoothly and stared at the gorgeous man in front of him. Yu Sui’an’s slender fingers took another cup and elegantly picked up the jade pot and poured Chu Yao a cup of wine.
The fragrance of the wine diffused in the air, and Chu Yao’s eyes stared at the slender hand. This hand would touch him later, deeply and shallowly. Chu Yao conjured up some explicit images in his mind, and he felt some place below waking up.
Yu Sui’an filled his own cup, saying calmly: “Junior Chu, have you heard of a type of wine in the demon realm called Fallen Spring Wine?”
Chu Yao took a sip of wine: “ Fallen Spring Wine? What a strange name.”
Yu Sui’an chuckled softly, and cold, silver moonlight seemed to warm up with his smile: “It’s not strange at all.” His voice was as light as the midnight air: “Fallen Spring, when spring falls only death remains. In the demon realm, decadence and indulgence are commonplace, but some demons choose to suppress these desires in their pursuit of cultivation. Thus, this Fallen Spring Wine was created. A single cup is said to wash away ten years of desire.”
Chu Yao had already finished his cup of wine. He nodded carelessly and said: “Oh, I see. Senior Brother, you’re really knowledgeable.”
Yu Sui’an’s eyes moved away from the silver moon in the sky to the dim, yellow lantern that swayed at the gate, and found it more pleasing to the eyes than the person in front of him.
“Junior Chu, you’re too kind.” Yu Sui’an smiled: “I know this simply because I enjoy its taste and often indulge in it. In fact, the wine tonight is exactly the Fallen Spring Wine. Junior Brother, what do you think of its flavor?
Chu Yao: “...”
Chu Yao: “............”
Chu Yao’s soul felt like it was going to fly away. Yu Sui’an actually drank this type of abstinent wine and even served it to him?
Ten years of no spring? Didn't this mean that in the next decade, he… he would be incapable…?
The smile on Chu Yao’s face could no longer be maintained. He tried to comfort himself by saying that Yu Sui’an was a gentleman, and a gentleman wouldn’t feed others abstinent wine without asking in advance.
Yes, he was probably just joking!
Chu Yao squeezed out a smile with difficulty and said: “Senior Brother, you’re joking right? How can wine from the demon realm be in your possession?”
The corners of Yu Sui’ans lips rose: “When I went to the demon realm some time ago, I thought this wine was quite suited to my tastes and brought back dozens of jars. If Junior Chu likes it, I can give you a jar.”
The more Chu Yao listened, the more scared he became. He looked at the dishes on the table and swallowed and asked: “After drinking this wine, if someone was given an aphrodisiac, would it still work?”
Yu Sui’an’s voice was low and magnetic: “Of course not. This is good wine. Junior Chu, how could I take out bad wine to offer to you?”
Chu Yao was silent. He wanted to cry but he had no tears.
Although Lin Yuan was leaning against the tree this whole time, he had asked 521 to monitor Chu Yao closely. The moment Chu Yao stretched out his evil claws, he would rush in and beat him up.
Ten minutes passed, and suddenly Lin Yuan heard panicked footsteps. Before he could react, he saw Chu Yao rushing out of Midnight Rain Pavilion, his face full of despair.
Lin Yuan: “???”
What was this situation?
Lin Yuan asked 521: “What happened? What did my husband do?”
He seemed to see a subtle expression on 521’s nonexistent face. 521 said: “Your husband just fed the protagonist a cup of wine that inhibits desires for ten years.”
In the original plot, Yu Sui’an manipulated Chu Yao with a few sentences so that Chu Yao would get drugged instead, and then threw him outside. Chu Yao was picked up by another senior brother who passed by, and the drugged Chu Yao seduced him and they got in bed together.
But now… ten years of abstinence?
Lin Yuan didn’t care much about the protagonist shou’s despair. He patted his butt and prepared to go back to his room and sleep. He still had to wake up early to cultivate tomorrow.
But he only took two steps before he heard a lazy voice call him: “Little junior, it’s so late at night, why are you here at my place?”
Lin Yuan stiffened like a frightened rabbit and turned around slowly.
Yu Sui’an leaned on the door frame and looked straight at him. His beautiful face was slightly flushed from the wine, making him even more attractive.
This was the first time Lin Yuan was so close to Yu Sui’an, and he involuntarily blushed silently.
Yu Sui’an raised an eyebrow slightly. This little junior was blushing again. He said teasingly: “Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you dislike me?”
Lin Yuan shook his head like a rattle.
“Oh, then why aren’t you saying anything?” Yu Sui’an’s voice was soft like a breeze, almost like a whisper between lovers.
Lin Yuan didn’t know what to talk about with Yu Sui’an. He thought about it and then bowed and called out obediently: “Senior Brother.”
Yu Sui’an recognized this little one from Ancient Grove Hall half a month ago. The teenager was fair-skinned and seemed very soft and easy to pinch. In the Taoist robe, he looked sunny and upright, like a lovely little prince. His face was cute but handsome, his eyes were round and dark, and his black hair was tied up into a tall ponytail.
Yu Sui’an withdrew his gaze and hooked his finger at Lin Yuan: “Little junior, come here. I have something to ask you.”
Lin Yuan walked forward as if he was pulled by a string. He looked up at the other with sparkling eyes and said softly: “Senior~”
Yu Sui’an asked with a smile: “What’s your name?”
Lin Yuan said sweetly: “Lin Yuan, my nickname is Sui Sui.”
This was the first time someone had introduced themselves with their nickname to him. Yu Sui’an was a little surprised, but he didn’t show anything: “So little junior also has a nickname. Sui Sui is a good name. I would tell you mine too, but it’s a pity, I don’t have one.”
Lin Yuan said buoyantly: “That’s okay.”
Yu Sui’an was perceptive and understanding about human nature. In the teenager’s eyes, he only saw affection and trust, which was a complete contrast to the filthy desires and schemes in Chu Yao’s gaze.
Beautiful things indeed easily stirred up the violent desire to destroy. Yu Sui’an looked down at the cup in his hand that still contained the Fallen Spring wine.
He could tell that this little junior was interested in him. Shattering his admiration should be quite interesting to see.
Yu Sui’an handed the jade cup over to Lin Yuan. He still wore a flawless smile, but the depths of his amber eyes swirled darkly of wicked thoughts.
“Little junior, I offer you a drink.”
