Arc 5: Chapter 9
Feeling the soft touch again, Xie Hanzhou unconsciously squeezed his lips. He could taste a faint flavor of milk and tea.
Yu Sui’an raised his eyes and looked at Xie Hanzhou in the distance. His amber eyes were now red with demonic spirit. Underneath his beautiful appearance, he was a demon, a ghost, a beast, a devil, and an evil spirit. Only at the very end was he human.
From where Xie Hanzhou couldn’t see, Yu Sui’an smiled slightly. He stretched out his hands and placed it on the teenager’s slender and delicate waist, pulling Lin Yuan closer.
Lin Yuan’s body radiated a gentle and mild warmth that was not aggressive at all, but Yu Sui’an still felt a chilling sense of horror. The shadows from his childhood gradually came alive, rising up and engulfing him like a tide.
Even so, Yu Sui’an did not let go or push the teenager away. He needed Lin Yuan, this chess piece, to help him.
All of these years, Yu Sui’an had been stuck in Pure Jade Palace as a mere disciple. He could only look up at Xie Hanzhou high above. He watched as the disciples of Pure Jade Palace held Xie Hanchou in utmost reverence, and as the noble cultivators of the immortal sect admired him without reservation. In Yu Sui'an's heart, there was nothing but resentment and hatred towards him.
Nobody knew that the Immortal Sovereign was actually the same person as the evil demon lord. Immortals and demons were two sides of the same coin, righteousness and evil, light and dark, all came from the same origin, and were of the same essence.
Yu Sui’an should not have appeared in this world. It was Xie Hanzhou who was full of resentment and malice, that created him as a result. It was Xie Hanzhou’s evil thoughts that made him full of darkness.
Yu Sui’an heart burned with anger, obsession, and hatred like an unquenchable flame. Why should Xie Hanzhou remain respected, pure, untouched by the past, while he was doomed to endless suffering?
They should descend to hell together…
Sharing the same fate of eternal damnation…
They deserved nothing less.
The demonic spirit in between his brows intensified. His body shook unwittingly because of fear, and every inch of his body screamed in pain. But he strained to suppress himself with his hatred and resentment. Underneath it all was a twisted sense of joy—the joy of exacting revenge on himself, a perverse satisfaction in inflicting pain and suffering upon his own being.
Yu Sui’an clasped his hands tightly on Lin Yuan’s waist, and gasped lightly: “Kiss me, Lin Yuan…”
Kiss him, and kiss Xie Hanzhou…
Kiss me….Yu Sui’an moved his lips silently, unable to speak because of the pain.
Lin Yuan hesitated. Yu Sui’an looked like he was enduring too much distress, and his face was already paler than a sheet of paper. Lin Yuan felt that Yu Sui’an was just like fragmented porcelain, one that was already broken to pieces and had never been put back together.
Lin Yuan didn’t want to see Yu Sui’an tortured like this. He didn’t need his lover to hug or kiss him, he just needed Yu Sui’an to be happy.
“Wait… next time…” Lin Yuan struggled to come out of Yu Sui’an’s embrace, but the man held him very strongly. The arms around his waist were like steel bands, and didn’t move no matter what.
“Senior…” The teenager looked at Yu Sui’an pleadingly, and his voice was very aggrieved: “Let go of me first ok? Please?”
Yu Sui’an’s eyes seemed unable to hold Lin Yuan’s reflection, and he said repeated mechanically: “Kiss me, Lin Yuan…”
Kiss me in front of Xie Hanzhou…
Just like before…
Lin Yuan didn’t understand why Yu Sui’an was so paranoid. Lin Yuan was irritated and distressed, and his eyes reddened: “Yu Sui’an! You are in pain! Do you know?!”
“You are not feeling well! Do you know it or not?!!”
Yu Sui’an knew, or perhaps he didn't know. He could feel pain and he could feel fear. Those feelings had already rooted itself in his soul, in the very bones that sustained this form.
This pain and fear used to belong to another person. But when Xie Hanzhou split himself into two, fear and pain were all given only to Yu Sui’an alone.
He lived so painfully because of Xie Hanzhou’s cowardice and incompetence. He would pay it all back, return all of it to Xie Hanzhou.
Yu Sui’an had thought of all kinds of plans to take revenge, but Xie Hanzhou only had the Dao in his heart. Which was why on that night, when the teenager kissed him, and he felt the rusty gears of fate move for the first time, he was sure to grasp this opportunity.
Yu Sui’an came up with a new plan. He wanted to let Xie Hanzhou betray the Dao on his own, let him entangle with his apprentice, break his own morals and boundaries.
Yu Sui’an thought of this, and held Lin Yuan tighter and tighter, ignoring the pain and fear coursing throughout his body. His tone was low and faint, and his voice surged with gentleness: “Lin Yuan, you already promised to be responsible for me, listen to me.”
“Lin Yuan, I’ll say it again, kiss me…”
Lin Yuan was almost anxious to death, he felt that Yu Sui’an was crazy, mad to the extreme. Helpless, he could only cup the man’s face, looking into the other’s cold, glass-like eyes, and lean in and touch their lips together.
He pressed against the other's lips very lightly and carefully, like treating a delicate treasure. Yu Sui’an was already in so much pain, he had to be even more careful to try his best not to make the person he liked hurt more.
Xie Hanzhou wanted to separate the two of them, but he had made an agreement with Yu Sui’an—unless Yu Sui’an killed someone, he could not interfere with anything that Yu Sui’an did.
During his hesitation, the sensation on his lips became clearer and clearer. Xie Hanzhou could feel an exceptionally soft, moist, and tender touch, and even tasted an indescribable sweetness. Xie Hanzhou’s brows knitted and he frowned as he looked at the two intimate people not far away.
Xie Hanzhou had no way to escape this strange touch, and a mysterious itch seemed to scratch at the depths of his bones.
The original stagnant water rippled again.
Xie Hanzhou narrowed his eyes and all of his focus was entranced by the heat on his lips and on his fingertips. He knew it was the warmth of his disciple that Yu Sui’an was feeling.
Lin Yuan’s kiss didn’t linger and he didn’t go any further than lightly pressing their lips together. He only wanted to end it quickly and separate from Yu Sui’an, so the other man could feel better.
Yu Sui’an felt the softness on his mouth, and the sweetness made him want to take a bite and taste it, but his body couldn’t move at all.
Xie Hanzhou stared at Lin Yuan and Yu Sui’an, and felt an indescribably shame bubble in his heart.
This was his disciple, his junior… Yu Sui’an was doing this on purpose!
Yu Sui’an had unimaginable power and wealth, as long as he showed interest, people, demons, ghosts, and countless followers would flock over to satisfy him, yet he was involved with a mere junior disciple, he obviously had no good intentions.
At the end of the kiss, Yu Sui’an still did not let go of Lin Yuan. He leaned over the teenager’s shoulder and breathed heavily with a pale face. His Daoist robe that was already half open was about to fall off his shoulders, and his whole body seemed to be on the verge of falling apart.
With his half-lidded eyes, his sight locked onto Xie Hanzhou’s accurately. He hid his voice with spiritual power and said to Xie Hanzhou alone: “Ever thought of trying double cultivation? Immortal Sovereign.”
“Try it with your apprentice…”
