SQLJBFDTW Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Mutual Acting, Eldest Brother Takes the Initiative

Yu Wei was much gentler with him than on the first day, but the homework he was supposed to do was not neglected.

Chao Jianxue learned methodically for a few days, and then the tailoring house delivered the newly made clothes.

He unfolded the new clothes, his eyes shining as he looked at them. Clothes make the man, and it had to be said that when Lu Ren put them on, his ordinary appearance immediately gained some of the bearing of a celestial being.

Yu Wei watched him learn his cultivation techniques during the day and was gone at night. However, when Chao Jianxue stayed up late reading, he always had the feeling of being watched, like a shadow following him, making him extremely uneasy.

He narrowed his eyes and looked around, raising his hand to close the windows tightly.

He was almost finished reading “Pure Love Boat Master’s Fiery Heat,” which was written entirely in the second person. In the book, Boat Master Yu was completely a domineering CEO. The character setting was understandable, but there were too many out-of-character moments!

For example, this “Yu Wei’s eyes turned red, and he pinched your waist, saying ‘You are playing with fire and burning yourself!'”

And this “Boat Master Yu forcefully pressed your restless hands, ‘Don’t move, if you move again, I don’t guarantee what will happen!'”

“…”

Chao Jianxue couldn’t hold it in and laughed. He nearly rolled off the small couch with a flip.

“What are you laughing at?” Yu Wei’s voice suddenly appeared around the corner.

Chao Jianxue was startled, and as he sat up, he stuffed the book under his bottom. He still couldn’t help but say with a smile, “Boat Master is back? Why is Boat Master back so early today?”

Yu Wei’s clear and cold gaze looked at him. For some reason, it was very similar to the vague gaze that Chao Jianxue had sensed just now, but Yu Wei quickly withdrew his gaze. “I’m going to bed, you should rest early too.”

With that, he walked upstairs.

“Boat Master!”

Yu Wei paused, and the expectation of joy was hidden in his eyebrows as he turned his head.

Chao Jianxue asked, “Do we still have to attend morning classes tomorrow?”

Yu Wei pursed his thin lips, and finally uttered the word “Naturally.”

Chao Jianxue’s hopes of sleeping in were dashed. He touched the corner of the book in his hand regretfully. He wondered if Yu Wei had read this book. Leaving aside the out-of-character parts, the overall style was still very humorous. It was much better than a serious cultivation book. He somewhat understood why Qiu Shui had once hidden a cabinet of fanfiction in her room.

After he finished reading this book, he walked to the corner of the stairs and saw that the lights in Yu Wei’s room were already off.

Today was the day he had agreed with Qing Tu Liu to get more snake venom, so Chao Jianxue took the opportunity to put on his outer robe and went out of the White Jade Tower alone with a lamp.

He stood alone by the lotus pond for a while, and then he heard a soft ripple from the pond.

Qing Tu Liu poked a section of his body out from under a large lotus leaf, holding a medicine bottle in his mouth. Chao Jianxue took it.

“Oh, where did the Demon Lord get this outfit? It even glows at night.” He loosened his tense jaw, which had been tense for a long time.

What he was talking about was naturally the silver thread woven pattern on Chao Jianxue’s clothes, which gave off a faint silver glow in the moonlight.

Chao Jianxue said, “He bought it for me.”

Qing Tu Liu’s mouth closed, and he flicked his tongue.

Why was the Demon Lord’s tone so familiar?

“Let me ask you first, are you sure this bottle of medicine will take effect immediately?” Chao Jianxue confirmed.

Qing Tu Liu nodded. “One gulp and you’ll faint.”

“Good.”

Chao Jianxue rubbed his palms together. This was already the third time.

Third time’s the charm. This time, he could only succeed and not fail. If it still didn’t work, he would have to forcefully tie Yu Wei back!

He brought the medicine back to the White Jade Tower and flew to Yu Wei’s door lightly and silently.

It was dark inside, without even moonlight. If he hadn’t been here before, he wouldn’t have known where Yu Wei would rest.

This time, Yu Wei had relaxed his defenses. There were no restrictions at the door. Chao Jianxue pushed the door open and went in.

Three steps forward, seven steps to the right, across the inner chamber threshold.

The veil of merman silk could still have a graceful glow in the night, reflecting Yu Wei’s sleeping face like a painting.

He was finally sleeping properly today! His hair was untied, and his black hair was scattered. He was only wearing a snow-white inner robe, his hands folded neatly on his abdomen.

Chao Jianxue suddenly felt like he was a flower-picking thief.

He shook his head, dismissing the strange thought, and approached him while holding his breath.

Getting closer, he lifted the veil and smacked his lips. Yu Wei’s sleeping posture was still as upright as before.

Just as he was about to take out the medicine bottle, he suddenly heard a loud bird song, which stopped outside the window. Chao Jianxue was shocked and threw out a spirit wind to drive it away, nervously crouching on the ground.

There was no movement on the couch. Yu Wei hadn’t woken up.

Was his sleep quality so good today?

In the past, not to mention such a loud bird song, even a little breeze would have immediately opened his eyes.

Chao Jianxue lay on the ground for a while, then got up again, leaned against Yu Wei’s couch, and continued to take out the medicine bottle.

The bird that had just flown away, however, was still unwilling to give up and returned again, flapping its wings against the window frame, as if reminding Yu Wei that a villain was approaching.

Chao Jianxue was a little angry and threw out another spirit energy. The bird was firmly fixed in place and fell to the ground in the corridor. Its mate flew over and was treated the same way by Chao Jianxue, both of them falling down and unable to move.

With such a big commotion, Yu Wei still showed no sign of waking up.

This was really strange.

Chao Jianxue suspected that he could just carry Yu Wei back without using any poison.

Of course, that was just a suspicion. He still had to use the poison. This time, he finally opened the medicine bottle and carefully dripped the mouth of the bottle on Yu Wei’s lips.

Yu Wei seemed oblivious, his eyes tightly closed in deep sleep.

One drop, two drops.

But he didn’t open his mouth, and the medicine only stayed on his lip line, before falling down a moment later.

A drop of sweat also fell on Chao Jianxue’s forehead. He plucked up his courage, reached out and pinched Yu Wei’s cheeks, and took the opportunity to drip several drops of the medicine into his mouth as he opened his lips a crack.

Yu Wei still didn’t open his eyes!

Chao Jianxue squatted nervously for a while, then decisively carried Yu Wei, who shouldn’t wake up in a short time, on his back.

Then he jumped directly through the window.

The two white birds on the ground of the corridor widened their round black eyes, witnessing the scene of their own Boat Master being hijacked and unable to do anything, and let out two “chirps”!

There were no obstacles along the way. Chao Jianxue suspected this and that, but he could only think for the best, that this was probably a case of things getting better after reaching rock bottom, and he had caught up. He hugged Yu Wei and ran all the way for half a moment without stopping.

Midway, the person on his back let out a suppressed muffled cough. Chao Jianxue turned his head nervously. Although his brows were slightly furrowed, he still didn’t wake up.

He had just remembered that his current body was not suitable for carrying Yu Wei on his back. His shoulders were just against Yu Wei’s chest, which would make him uncomfortable.

So, he simply changed back to his original form, and it was much easier to carry Yu Wei on his back.

Chao Jianxue wrapped his arms around his waist, the spring breeze blowing on his face, quite content.

This time, he arrived at the Demon Realm very smoothly. He had already prepared a cave for Yu Wei, which was better than the bare cave he had in the Wuwu Sect.

Chao Jianxue put him down on the soft blanket. Yu Wei was still asleep, his eyelashes fluttering occasionally.

The little demons in his mansion chirped, “Who is this! Is this the beauty that the Demon Lord abducted!”

“So the Demon Lord went to the human cultivation world to do this!”

“A beauty matches a beautiful demon, and the Demon Lord is also a beautiful demon!”

“Go, go, go!” Chao Jianxue waved them away. They only dared to do this because Yu Wei was unconscious at this time. If he woke up and drew his sword, these noisy little demons would definitely scatter and run away in fright, and would never say anything like “beauty” again.

After chasing away the little demons, Chao Jianxue turned back to look at Yu Wei.

He had finally tied him back.

Yu Wei’s hair had been messed up during the journey just now. Chao Jianxue couldn’t bear to see him in such a disheveled state, so he took a comb and combed it for him. It was as smooth as brocade, and the comb could slide right down.

Brushing away the long hair that covered his cheeks, his eyes flickered, and he saw that the corners of Yu Wei’s lips seemed to have a slight upward curve – strange, were they so upturned just now?

Taking advantage of the fact that Yu Wei couldn’t wake up, he placed two fingers on the edge of Yu Wei’s lips and pulled the corners of his lips down. Well, this time he looked exactly like the cold and aloof Boat Master Yu he usually was.

Chao Jianxue thought seriously for a moment, then picked Yu Wei up and placed him on the couch, pulling over the iron lock by the bed.

This was still inspired by Yu Wei. He was afraid that Yu Wei would use force after waking up, so it was better to lock him up in advance. Then he lit a stick of incense that suppressed spiritual power, and the faint fragrance drifted in the air.

Afraid that he would be uncomfortable sleeping, he also specially added two quilts to the couch.

With everything completed, Chao Jianxue clapped his hands and glanced at Yu Wei, who was sleeping in the soft brocade quilt, only showing his head, and left the cave in a happy mood.

The door closed.

Yu Wei, who should have been unconscious for a long time, opened his eyes at this moment.

The cough that had been suppressed in his chest finally came out, followed by the medicine that had been suppressed in his throat. As soon as he raised his hand, the chains clattered, and there was a bit more helplessness in Yu Wei’s eyes.

Although the chains were a bit crude… Well, if Senior Brother didn’t take action again, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to help himself.

The desires that had been suppressed for many years had taken root and grown, and he didn’t know when they had grown into towering trees. He was so lucky to have regained what he had lost, and only he knew that he had just done his best not to forcefully grab the other person’s wrist.

If Senior Brother had repeatedly deceived him in the past, why did he still appear in front of him now, why did he tie him up like this, he wanted to know what Chao Jianxue was going to do…

And why didn’t he reveal his identity to him…

That demonic voice rang in his ears again, tempting him in a low voice, since Senior Brother had already appeared in front of him, why not take him back and hide him? He had said that he liked you as a lie, do you still have any wishful thinking?

Yu Wei closed his eyes forcefully, while chanting the Cold Soul Spell mantra, until he pinched black blood from his fingertips, then suddenly let go of his hand and spat out a mouthful of turbid air in exhaustion.

–

The entrance to the cave where Yu Wei was imprisoned was in Chao Jianxue’s mansion.

There were many exotic flowers and plants in the Demon Realm, many of which were varieties that were not found in the human cultivation world. Chao Jianxue picked a golden lotus in his hand, thinking that Yu Wei must have never seen it and would probably like it. Two days later, he came to see Yu Wei.

The little demon guarding the cave did not slack off at all, standing up and saying “Greetings, Demon Lord.”

Chao Jianxue waved his hand and walked in with the flower.

In the dimly lit cave, the medicinal power that made Yu Wei unconscious had dissipated. At this time, he was awake, sitting on the couch, but he didn’t look flustered at all.

Chao Jianxue put the flower in a porcelain vase on the side, deliberately saying in a rough voice, “Awake?”

He was still wearing a mask.

Yu Wei’s fingers, hidden in the shadows, clenched. Since Senior Brother wanted to act, he would play along.

“Who are you?”

Chao Jianxue’s eyes rolled around. “I am a great demon of the Demon Realm, saying it will scare you to death!” He made a threatening gesture.

Yu Wei tilted his head. “Why are you locking me up?”

He blinked, as if puzzled. “Who am I?”
