TBOUMTBDK Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Awkwardness

Mo Jun Zhou didn’t speak, and Yun Xia didn’t press him.

The two of them were by the window. Yun Xia knelt on either side of Mo Jun Zhou, his legs apart, his hands on his shoulders, while Mo Jun Zhou had his arms around his waist, looking up at him.

The wind lifted their hair, stirring their heartstrings.

Yun Xia’s hands left his shoulders and gently cupped his face.

Mo Jun Zhou’s eyes widened slightly, and everything outside of what was in front of him receded into the distance, leaving only Yun Xia’s gaze, Yun Xia’s touch, and–

“Thump–thump–”

What was that sound, shaking his entire being?

Yun Xia slowly approached his face, his rosy lips slightly parted, his bright eyes reflecting his stiff, unflinching face.

“Thump–thump–thump–”

It turned out to be the sound of his own heartbeat.

So close, so close that he could feel Yun Xia’s breath, a little warm, a little sweet, it was Yun Xia’s scent. So close that he could imagine the touch of the other’s lips, warm, soft.

“…”

His narrow chest couldn’t withstand such intense vibrations. Mo Jun Zhou felt as if his body was about to be torn apart.

Just before Yun Xia’s lips were about to touch his, Mo Jun Zhou stiffly turned his head away.

Yun Xia looked down at his profile, his waist a little sore. Mo Jun Zhou himself didn’t realize how much strength he had used, but Yun Xia didn’t say anything.

He wasn’t very disappointed either. At least Mo Jun Zhou hadn’t thrown him off. He’d even sat on Mo Jun Zhou for so long.

So, Yun Xia smiled slightly, gently leaned down and put his arms around Mo Jun Zhou’s shoulders, his cheek against his, and whispered, “Then let me hug you, okay?”

Mo Jun Zhou didn’t say yes, but he didn’t answer either.

And so, the two of them embraced in the morning light.

They hugged for a long time. Yun Xia could clearly feel that Mo Jun Zhou hadn’t relaxed the whole time. His body was still stiff. There was no doubt that he had left several finger marks on his waist.

Really, you’re suffering, aren’t you? Yun Xia thought.

But he didn’t want to ruin such a good atmosphere, so he took the initiative to straighten up.

Mo Jun Zhou’s brows and eyes were obscured by his hair, making it hard to see clearly. Yun Xia patted his arm: “Let go of me, I’m getting down.”

Mo Jun Zhou paused, finally “Mm”ed, and his hand had only just loosened a little when he caught sight of something, tightened again, and directly picked Yun Xia up in this position, putting him on the bed a few steps away.

Yun Xia glanced down – was it because he wasn’t wearing shoes?

“Then you clean up, I’ll go out first.” After saying that, Mo Jun Zhou left.

Yun Xia sat on the bed, watching his figure disappear at the door, and smiled gently.

He had thought it through so well, thinking that his relationship with Mo Jun Zhou could now be on the right track. Mo Jun Zhou should like him a little, otherwise he wouldn’t have reacted that way in the morning, only to refuse at the last moment.

But what happened next stunned him, because Mo Jun Zhou started avoiding him!

The first day, Yun Xia only saw him again in the evening. At this time, he hadn’t noticed anything yet, thinking that he was embarrassed and shy.

Then the second day, he only saw him in the evening again. The third day, he saw him once at noon. Mo Jun Zhou casually asked him some unimportant questions, and then he didn’t see him again until the evening.

The fourth day, the same.

On the fifth day, he said he had found a place to cultivate in peace, and then disappeared again.

Yun Xia: “…”

He felt it was simply outrageous. The spaceship was big, but it was still just a spaceship, and the space was limited. Yet he could count the number of times he saw him on one hand!

Even Gong Qiu noticed it, pulling him aside and saying, “Yun Xia, senior brother, I’m just saying, is the Esteemed Lord avoiding you?”

Yun Xia chewed on a sweet potato strip with a blank expression, his tone as if he wanted to annihilate the world: “Probably.”

“Uh, but I don’t think you two are arguing. What are you playing at again?”

Yun Xia didn’t answer, and took another fierce bite. Gong Qiu suspected that he was treating the sweet potato strip as Mo Jun Zhou.

“Senior brother?”

“Playing at what? Hide-and-seek, maybe.”

Not even Gong Qiu believed that.

Yun Xia never expected it to be like this. The problem was, they hadn’t even kissed that day! Was Mo Jun Zhou’s skin that thin?

Then how was the great Demon Lord body of the future forged? What had he experienced?

And when they met in the evening, Mo Jun Zhou still acted as if nothing had happened, even talking to him properly, saying he had gone to cultivate, and when asked where, he said he had just found a quiet place.

In short, he just wouldn’t tell him, and then closed his eyes and went to sleep.

With his attitude, Yun Xia didn’t know what to say.

At this time, Ji Yuan came over to tell him that they were about to arrive at Redglow.

–

Redglow wasn’t just the name of an immortal sect or immortal mountain, but also the name of a large region. Redglow Immortal Mountain was located in the very center, and there were many towns at the foot of the mountain.

In this world, ordinary people knew about the existence of the Immortal Realm and the Nether Realm, and many people sought immortality.

However, only one in ten thousand people succeeded. Over time, there were fewer and fewer people seeking immortality in order to become immortals, but they were still extremely respectful, building towns around the major immortal sects.

Of course, people from the immortal sects were strictly forbidden from having too much contact with mortals, not allowed to use immortal techniques and spells in places where mortals lived and gathered, and even more not allowed to demand anything based on their status.

However, disciples of the various immortal sects would occasionally appear, for example, when boarding flying immortal artifacts, they would have the opportunity to appear in the eyes of mortals.

Phoenix Cry and Redglow had a very good relationship. Su Rou, whom they had come to pick up this time, was coming to see her little sisters in Redglow.

However, they wouldn’t go to Redglow Immortal Mountain this time. Their spaceship would stop in the clouds on the edge of Redglow’s territory.

Even if the relationship was good, they wouldn’t casually fly the spaceship into Redglow. Only when invited or under other special circumstances would other immortal sects come in directly like this.

Otherwise, it would be equivalent to provocation.

But even if they only stopped outside, they still had to inform Redglow, because Redglow must have already detected such a large flying immortal artifact.

Ji Yuan would take care of these things. Yun Xia and the others would go into the city to play, and Su Rou would wait for them in the city.

They also needed to buy things. All the food on the spaceship had been scavenged and eaten, and most of it had gone into Yun Xia’s stomach.

“Senior Brother, are you going with us too?”

“Yes, Junior Brother Ji Yuan is staying on the ship, we’re going down.” Xiao Nanli walked over, speaking gently.

Another disciple said, “Haha, Senior Brother Xiao is definitely going with us, otherwise Junior Sister Su Rou will make a fuss.”

“That’s right, with her temper, I’m afraid only Senior Brother can control her.”

Xiao Nanli smiled: “You can say these words in front of me, but if she hears them…”

“Hey, hey, hey, I wouldn’t dare.”

Xiao Nanli suddenly turned the conversation to Yun Xia: “Junior Brother Yun Xia, if Junior Sister is rude to you, I hope you won’t take it to heart. She’s been spoiled by master and me since she was little.”

Yun Xia, who was vigorously chewing on the last sweet potato strip in his mouth, was stunned when he heard this, blinking his eyes.

What! He had a feud with Su Rou?

But he didn’t know anything about it!

The others looked over when they heard this, all with a look of watching a good show.

Seeing him looking blank, Xiao Nanli said softly: “Don’t be afraid, I’m here, I’ll keep an eye on her.”

Those words are even more frightening, okay?

Yun Xia bit the sweet potato strip into his mouth, his voice becoming indistinct because of it: “Senior Brother, she won’t hit me, will she? My cultivation base is low, I can’t beat her.”

“Pfft–” someone laughed.

“Haha, you’re actually afraid of Junior Sister hitting you, aren’t you very powerful?”

Yun Xia pointed at himself: “Me? Very powerful? I’m such a humble person, when have I ever said those words? It’s clearly that you guys are too weak.”

The others: “…”

Recently, because he couldn’t find Mo Jun Zhou, Yun Xia could only “play” with the people on the ship. These disciples initially kept some distance from him, but were “seduced” by Yun Xia in no time.

The method was very simple and crude – games.

This group of people spent all day together, playing games that they had never played or heard of before with Yun Xia.

These immortal sect disciples hadn’t yet reached the point of great success in cultivation. To be honest, they were all young people. How could they resist the various entertainments from modern times, especially since Yun Xia was a person who could very much drive people’s emotions?

Including positive and negative emotions.

He always had a way to make those disciples angry and attack him in groups, and Yun Xia would be chased all over the spaceship from time to time.

So Xiao Nanli and Ji Yuan often saw Yun Xia running and saying, “Hey, hey, why are you guys such sore losers? If you lose, just come again next time, what’s the big deal.”

Being chased and cursed: “Why are you running? If you have the ability, come again. What does it mean to stop here? We were almost able to beat you, but you don’t want to play anymore, Yun Xia! You come over here!”

Ji Yuan looked worried: “Are they okay like this? Why are they making such a fuss?”

Xiao Nanli’s gaze followed the figure at the very front, and he smiled: “Don’t worry, don’t look at them like this, they’re actually quite happy.”

Ji Yuan: “…”

Is that so? Only one person is happy, right.

Senior Brother, I feel like you’re enjoying watching it too…

So their relationship wasn’t good, but it wasn’t that bad either. Basically, they were the type to be sarcastic when they met.

“I’ve decided, if Junior Sister doesn’t hit you, we’ll definitely tie you up and beat you! Then hang you up for public display!” The disciples had played too many games with Yun Xia, and naturally learned to say all kinds of trash talk, although they didn’t even know that there was a special term for this, forgetting that Xiao Nanli was still beside them.

Yun Xia suddenly scurried behind Xiao Nanli: “Senior Brother, Senior Brother, you heard that, they want to attack their fellow disciples!”

Xiao Nanli patted his shoulder in return, looking at him with a smile.

“You’re actually looking for Senior Brother! You can’t afford to lose!” Seeing that Xiao Nanli didn’t mean to blame them, the others made a gesture to grab Yun Xia.

Yun Xia: “You’re bullying the few with the many!”

He caught sight of a person out of the corner of his eye, and immediately became excited: “Save me, Mo Jun Zhou!”

Saying that, he pounced out with lightning speed, his body leaving Xiao Nanli’s fingertips like the wind.

At that moment, Xiao Nanli’s expression froze, and the thing in his hand always slipped away uncontrollably, this feeling…was very unfamiliar, very uncomfortable.

And Yun Xia, like a cat, hung himself on Mo Jun Zhou, hugging him tightly.

Mo Jun Zhou was hit head-on, and stepped back with his right foot to steady himself, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

The disciples suddenly withdrew their hands, and didn’t say a word.

Xiao Nanli looked at him faintly, his hands behind his back, twisting his empty fingertips.

Mo Jun Zhou: “Get down.”

“I won’t! Don’t even think about leaving, you’re not allowed to go anywhere, I’m definitely not getting off you today!” Yun Xia clung to him like an octopus, determined.

Mo Jun Zhou was helpless: “You want to go shopping in this position?”

Yun Xia: “It’s not impossible.”

“…”
