Arc 5: Chapter 36
Married?!
Who and who will be getting married??
Yu Sui’an and Lin Yuan??
Chu Yao couldn’t believe his ears. In his opinion, although Yu Sui’an was more beautiful than anyone he had ever seen, he definitely wouldn’t be willing to be on the bottom. And Lin Yuan was like a sunny, handsome brother, like a big golden retriever.
No matter how he looked at it, none of them seemed like they would be on the bottom. Wow, someone is willing to be a zero for love! t/n zero = shou = bottom
Chu Yao’s eyes darted back and forth, and finally fixed on Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan had changed a lot. He now had a sharp jawline and no more baby fat, and his temperament was more mature and eye-catching. Chu Yao felt he was no worse than Second Senior Brother Mu Chengfeng.
He snapped back to reality. If Lin Yuan and Yu Sui’an became a Daoist couple, then wouldn’t that mean his mission would fail?
Chu Yao thought hatefully that there were so many famous immortals but Lin Yuan had to choose Yu Sui’an. Moreover, Lin Yuan was much better than himself, in terms of both looks and talent.
He originally thought that there was no hurry in attacking the two most difficult targets, Yu Sui’an and Xie Hanzhou, but his hesitation allowed other people to take advantage.
No! It can’t be! Yu Sui’an should be his. He was the one who had the system!
To Chu Yao, Lin Yuan was the one who secretly seduced Yu Sui’an while he wasn’t looking, just like a mistress. Resentment and jealousy seethed in his heart, and Chu Yao squeezed an ugly smile: “So Brother Lin and Senior Brother are going to get married. Congratulations ah.”
Lin Yuan could guess that Chu Yao probably hated him very much now. But so what? Lin Yuan’s lips curved and he nodded: “Thanks. Oh right, when I came back, I heard that you’re the reason we can all eat better food now. The food was delicious, did Brother Chu represent us Pure Jade disciples and thank Emperor Yan?”
In an instant, the expressions of Mu Chengfeng and the others around Chu Yao soured. At this time, Chu Yao’s harem had not yet reached a truce, and was still in the stage of chasing for exclusivity.
Lin Yuan deliberately stepped on this minefield, and then smoothly retreated. He saluted and said: “I don’t want to take up more of your time, we’ll take our leave.”
Then he looked up at Yu Sui’an with a bright smile and some smugness in his eyes: “Senior Brother, let’s go.”
Yu Sui’an knew all of his little liar’s tricks. He raised his hand and tucked a strand of hair behind Lin Yuan’s ear, and looked down dotingly.
No one had ever seen Yu Sui’an’s love-struck appearance. His beautiful face seemed to have been doused in sweetness, more warm than the sun.
Seeing Yu Sui’an look at Lin Yuan like this, Chu Yao hated it so much that he vowed to now let Lin Yuan go. He would let Lin Yuan taste the consequences of robbing his person!

At Midnight Rain Pavilion, Lin Yuan immediately noticed something out of place. He asked Yu Sui’an: “Why did Senior Brother set up a formation around here?”
Yu Sui’an picked up Lin Yuan and crossed the formation, not letting him down until he carried the youth to the stone table: “Isn’t it for you? I can’t bear to leave you for a moment, and neither can Xie Hanzhou.”
Yu Sui’an caged Lin Yuan between his arms and kissed the young man’s lips, entangling with the other’s soft and wet tongue.
“Your Master still has to do his sect master duties and also meet with the other palace masters, he can’t be seen walking around casually, so if he wants to steal a moment of intimacy with you, coming here is the optimal choice.”
Lin Yuan was slightly out of breath, and his red lips were like dewy flower petals. His arms encircled the man’s neck and he snuggled into the man’s neck, whispering: “You can’t call it stealing. We'll be husbands soon, it’s rightful and proper.”
Yu Sui’an raised an eyebrow unhappily and kneaded Lin Yuan’s waist lightly: “Sui Sui treats his Master so well, always defending him.”
Lin Yuan hummed and said: “Don’t be like this. I like Master and I like you the same.”
Yu Sui’an knew that he couldn’t control his jealousy. How was that dog Xie Hanzhou as good as him? Why should the little liar like Xie Hanzhou as much as liking him?
“Can’t… can’t you like me just a little more than him?”
Yu Sui’an had never asked this question out loud before. He had this thought countless times, but Xie Hanzhou had always been clinging to the little liar, leaving him with no chance to ask.
Lin Yuan felt an oncoming headache. He peppered Yu Sui’an’s neck with kisses: “Senior Brother, isn’t it good if I like you both equally? If I had to choose, then someone would be unhappy, and then I would be unhappy too. How about, I’ll try my best to love you and Master even more than I do now, okay?”
Yu Sui’an had expected that the little liar wouldn’t pick sides: “Sui Sui, Senior Brother really wants to say it’s not okay, but I know you’re right. Sorry Sui Sui, sometimes I think Xie Hanzhou and I are too selfish and stubborn, making you have to comfort both of us. We are both not good people.”
Lin Yuan quickly shook his head, and he said softly: “That’s not true! You and Master are the best people in the world. Being with both of you—I can’t even tell you how happy I am! Just… don’t compete with each other in the future, you’re both too strong and my realm isn’t high enough yet.”
Yu Sui’an hugged the aggrieved youth closer and laughed softly: “Hmm, no promises. Which harem doesn’t have infighting and power struggles, moreso me and your Master are both unyielding and proud?”
Lin Yuan let out a long sigh and decided to numb himself: “Ok, do whatever you want.”
The smile in Yu Sui’an’s eyes grew deeper. He kissed Lin Yuan’s lips again and said meaningfully: “Since Sui Sui said so, I really will. Now your Master is not here, no one can help you.”
Lin Yuan had a bad feeling and wanted to struggle, but it was useless.
As night fell, Xie Hanzhou, who had endured for two hours, finally couldn’t hold back and flew to Midnight Rain Pavilion.
Entering the room quietly, Xie Hanzhou saw two figures on the bed. He didn’t even spare a glance at Yu Sui’an, and only looked at Lin Yuan.
His little disciple probably cried for a long time, his face was streaked with tear marks, and his eyes and lips were red and swollen.
He lifted the blanket, and his little disciple's pale and tender body was covered in marks. There were bruising hickeys and bites, and even traces left by a pair of larger hands.
Xie Hanzhou looked at Yu Sui’an with no expression and said coldly: “Do you find this amusing?”
Yu Sui’an gently rubbed Lin Yuan’s cheek and replied: “Very amusing. Seeing you only able to look and not touch, and you still have to help me clean up is pretty fun.”
Xie Hanzhou took out a pair of underwear and helped Lin Yuan put it on. Then he wrapped Lin Yuan in a cloak and flew to a hot spring on the top of Ancient Grove Peak.
During the bath, Lin Yuan was half asleep, and saw Xie Hanzhou’s face in a daze. He hugged the man’s neck, and called out ‘master’ softly.
Xie Hanzhou hummed and kissed Lin Yuan a few times, and focused entirely on washing.
Meanwhile, Yu Sui’an stayed in the room and changed all of the sheets and aired out the room, just like a qualified husband.

The day before the Constellation Grand Festival, Lin Yuan and Yu Sui’an met Chu Yao’s group again. This time, there was an unfamiliar man walking next to Chu Yao, wearing a black brocade robe with golden, dragon embroidery. It was probably Emperor Yan.
In addition to the mortal emperor, there was another new face. Lin Yuan didn’t recognize him, but he should also be part of Chu Yao’s harem.
The man showed an obvious look of surprise at seeing Yu Sui’an, and then his expression turned thoughtful.
Yu Sui’an recognized him too. He was the son of the previous demon king who died a long time ago, known as the former young master of the demon realm.
That night, Yu Sui’an told Xie Hanzhou about this matter.
Xie Hanzhou played with Lin Yuan’s long hair and said indifferently: “There is nothing good that could come out of him recognizing you.”
If the immortal sects knew that Xie Hanzhou was harboring the Demon Lord for so many years, they would definitely suspect that Xie Hanzhou had betrayed them and colluded with the demons. In the worst case, they might even discover that he and Yu Sui’an were the same person.
Yu Sui’an was lying lazily, one arm wrapped around Lin Yuan’s waist and he said nonchalantly: “If everything gets exposed, everything gets exposed. You can step down from being Pure Jade Sect’s Master, and I can throw away the title of Demon Lord, and all three of us can go south to live a good life.”
Xie Hanzhou remained silent for a moment before saying softly: “I want to see if besides Lin Yuan, there is anyone else in this world who can accept us.”
