Chapter 281 - Rui Li's Hypotheses

The beast seemed very pleased with the meal that had delivered itself at its doorstep but Ji Yao had no such plans. He held on tightly to his sword that right now could be considered no different from a regular blade and prepared to teach this beast a lesson on cleanliness.

Sensing that its powerless prey wanted to put up a fight instead of simply giving up and accepting its fate as dinner it closed its bloodied eyes and it was soon surrounded by blackish-purple energy emanating from within.

The energy build-up was incredibly fast that Ji Yao didn't have enough time to go on the offensive. He just found himself flying straight into a tree hurting his back from colliding with the tree trunk.

Ji Yao grimaced in pain contemplating whether to get up or not. The creature bellowed in delight before stretching out its disgusting long tongue towards Ji Yao.

Like a snake, it coiled around his ankle intending to pull him. Ji Yao didn't plan on sitting around waiting for death. He grabbed his sword that had fallen to the side earlier and wanted to sever that disgusting tongue but before he could exact revenge his conscience was pulled out of that filthy forest and back on the ship in his clean cabin.

He subconsciously took a deep breath in but before he knew it, his face turned green with the sudden urge to throw up. It seemed the smell from the forest was still embedded in his nose that instead of smelling the clean air he was suddenly struck by a large amount of the vomit-inducing smell.

He hastily got up and dashed outside holding his mouth. A worried Rui Fei ran after him and once he caught up he helped him out of the cabin looking like a soon to be father inside the maternity ward with his full term pregnant wife.

This image had little Li's eyes sparkling like stars as she expressed her delight. "I told you they can get pregnant," she said to Rui Yewan already coming up with baby names.

Rui Yewan face palmed his forehead as he looked away from his mentally ill sister. What pregnancy? These two were men with toned muscles and possibly facial hair.

Okay, maybe only Ji Yao though he always had a clean shave on his face. His older brother on the other hand didn't have even a patch of facial hair which was a little weird. Even Rui Yewan could show off some facial hair now and then but Rui Fei despite being almost seventeen was as smooth as the day he was born.

And whenever Rui Yewan flaunted his tiny facial hair Rui Fei would threaten to burn them off if he didn't shave. One word, 'jealous!'

Alright, his thoughts had gone astray for a moment. But anyway the point was they were the perfect model of typical men and couldn't fall pregnant. Though Rui Yewan didn't say a word his disapproval was written all over his face that Rui Li could easily discern what he was thinking so she fired back.

"It's Mpeg, dah," she said making him look like he was the idiot around here who didn't know the word mpreg.

"I don't even want to know what that means. Please leave me alone," he said but the zealous fujoshi couldn't stop teasing her brother.

"It means...," she said whispering the rest in her brother's ear. Rui Yewan's face instantly changed colour hearing this and he almost ran out of the cabin screaming blasphemy. And what did Rui Li say that freaked him out?

Let me introduce Rui Li's hypothesis in a segment I would like to call the BL science chronicles. It's an awful name I know but the name is not what's important. It's the subject of depth teaching of how fujoshis think so let's break down this theory.

Rui Li truly believed that the Nocru or half Nocru's physiology is similar to that of the ABO world or the world with gers. If not then why was the person Ji Yao compatible with a man?

This meant, in Rui Li's eyes, that one of them should be able to reproduce as nature advocates multiplication. It was a fine theory that Rui Yewan was willing to ignore that is until Rui Li said, "If they can have a baby then there is a high chance you ca-."

"You must be tired of living, aren't you? Say that outside this cabin and those group of men might plot your murder in your sleep. Men can't and I repeat c, a, n, 't fall pregnant."

Rui Li's brows furrowed eyeing him suspiciously before saying, "What are you freaking out for? All you have to do is not get bent and we won't prove the theory.... unless... uh, do you like someone?"

"Shhh shut up,"

"Why are you sheeshing me.... is it because it's Big Hei?"

"No, stop it."

"Ha, It can't be Xunshi Zhe, is it?"

"Are you crazy? Zip it."

Rui Li's face grew stern as a strange idea popped into her head. Her expression was so terrifying that Rui Yewan felt frightened for a second. What in the world was she thinking in that rotten brain of hers.

"Is it Yao-ge? That's your saozi you little pervert," said Rui Li causing Rui Yewan's eyes to almost pop out of their sockets. Yes, Ji Yao was very handsome and sometimes when he looked at him with those enchanting eyes his heart would skip a beat but he wasn't interested in him like that.

In fact, he wasn't interested in anyone. Like or love was a foreign concept to him. As long as he had his family around him nothing else mattered.

"No, I don't like anyone. Now stop before someone hears you," he said and Rui Fei was just in time to hear that.

"Hear what?" he asked as he helped Ji Yao sit down.

The two siblings who would never divulge the details of the conversation even in the face of death, "....."

"Hehehe nothing dage, you look dashing today. Did you do something different today? Maybe to your eyes.... they look way gorgeous today."

Rui Fei, "..." So many todays in that paragraph. 

If he wasn't curious about their conversation before now he was very interested. His gaze shifted to Rui Yewan as though commanding him to spill it but that was not going to happen. He would rather cut out his tongue than spill it.

"You do look different today. Totally, no definitely the eyes. Keystone, yes the keystone..... did you find it Yao-ge," he spoke incoherently with the word Yao-ge said in a mouse-like voice.

Something was definitely said in his absence and now Rui Fei wanted to know even more. Deciding to torment this suspicious-looking pair later he turned to face Ji Yao whose face had turned green again. It seemed keystone was the trigger word for his nausea.

The two of them ran out again and the pair of siblings heaved a sigh of relief thinking they had gotten away with it.. They had better sleep with one eye open tonight.
