Arc 15: Heavenly Secret Realm | Chapter 280: Transformation

Ever since that kiss, Xu Ziqing no longer concealed his feelings for Yun Lie. If before he had only revealed a fraction, now he showed them entirely, clear and unmistakable.

Although Yun Lie didn’t fully grasp the deeper meaning behind Xu Ziqing’s unspoken emotions, he greatly enjoyed the affection in Xu Ziqing’s gaze, becoming even more intimate with him in their daily interactions.

Day by day, Yun Lie refined more and more of the Demonic Mara petals, and the dangerous aura surrounding him grew increasingly intense. Xu Ziqing didn’t need to investigate closely to know that his Shixiong’s cultivation had advanced significantly, far surpassing his strength when they first entered this demonic land.

At the same time, Yun Lie’s demonic thoughts intensified, and he spent even more time in that pure and tranquil mental state. His moments of closeness with Xu Ziqing also became more frequent.

Although there was no sun, moon, or stars in this place, the cycle of day and night created an atmosphere that felt vast and boundless.

Xu Ziqing lay flat on a slab of jade stone by the Cold Jade Pool, while Yun Lie pressed down on him. His arms were raised, his black hair fanned out, and his clothes were in disarray.

Yun Lie’s hand slid into Xu Ziqing’s waistband, lips locked firmly onto his. Their tongues entwined, breaths mingling, neither willing to stop.

Xu Ziqing’s breathing grew erratic. Unlike Yun Lie, his heart had long been full of affection during their days of closeness. Now, that affection was even harder to keep in check, and he found himself unable to resist Yun Lie, becoming more entangled with each passing day.

When a young man’s desire flares up, it’s hard to control. Despite having lived two lives, Xu Ziqing was still quite innocent when it came to matters of the heart, and once stirred, he found it particularly difficult to endure.

At this point, Yun Lie had barely begun touching him, and already a wave of heat surged within Xu Ziqing, causing his face to flush and a low moan to escape from his throat.

Yun Lie seemed to greatly enjoy seeing him like this. His hand gently caressed Xu Ziqing’s waist, applying just enough pressure to make him shiver uncontrollably.

That hand didn’t stop, slipping Xu Ziqing’s belt away and sliding down to his thighs, finally grasping the source of the heat.

Xu Ziqing gasped, a sharp “ah” escaping his lips as he climaxed unexpectedly. Immediately, a deep sense of embarrassment washed over him, his face turning even redder, nearly dripping with shame. He shut his eyes and turned his head away, breaking the kiss with Yun Lie, overwhelmed by his inability to voice his discomfort.

Yun Lie frowned, withdrawing his hand, which was now slightly sticky. Then, he dipped a finger in it and, using his other hand, gently turned Xu Ziqing’s face back toward him, brushing that finger over his lips.

Xu Ziqing froze, eyes snapping open. He saw what was on Yun Lie’s fingers and widened his eyes in shock.

His Shixiong... how could he... do such a thing?

For a moment, Xu Ziqing’s chest was in turmoil, embarrassment and frustration swirling inside him with no outlet. He hastily grabbed Yun Lie’s hand and used his sleeve to wipe it clean.

Yun Lie noticed Xu Ziqing’s increasingly reddened face, a look in his eyes that was different from before, and his frown softened. Though he didn’t understand why Xu Ziqing was acting this way, he had a vague sense that he might be upset... Yet Yun Lie himself didn’t know why he behaved as he did; he simply acted on impulse. However, he didn’t want to see Xu Ziqing upset, so realizing this, he raised his hand, gently caressing Xu Ziqing’s face, then lowered his head to lick his lips with his tongue.

Xu Ziqing was stunned again. Ever since Yun Lie had embraced demonic cultivation, his every action had become unpredictable. Xu Ziqing had always yielded to him, but being unable to guess his Shixiong’s thoughts left him a little uneasy. However, this recent gesture seemed to carry a hint of comfort... It reassured him that his Shixiong was still the same person, despite the changed behavior, always able to put his heart at ease. With that thought, Xu Ziqing sighed inwardly, opened his mouth to accept Yun Lie’s tongue, and wrapped his arms around Yun Lie’s shoulders, pulling him close to his chest.

And so they tangled together once more.

As the demonic energy dissipated, the area of brightness expanded bit by bit. Eventually, except for the small area surrounding the rooted Seven Emotions Demon Flower, the rest of the space was illuminated.

Yun Lie’s aura became more restrained, making him appear almost identical to how he was before entering this place.

However, Xu Ziqing knew that his shixiong’s demonic thoughts had not only persisted but had grown even deeper.

Those pitch-black, unfathomable eyes became even more terrifying.

At that moment, a change finally occurred in the twin lotus in the Cold Jade Pool.

On that day, Yun Lie had Xu Ziqing seated between his legs, his head buried against Xu Ziqing’s neck, slowly licking and sucking. Xu Ziqing didn’t resist, even tilting his head slightly to make things easier for his shixiong. After so many days, such interactions between them had become routine, no longer stirring any waves.

Suddenly, Xu Ziqing’s expression shifted, and he looked toward the Cold Jade Pool.

He saw that above the pool, countless streams of spiritual energy had formed two small vortices, hovering over the twin lotus flowers. Within the vortices, faint rumbles of thunder could be heard, but as soon as they appeared, they were suppressed by the surrounding spiritual energy, turning into faint glimmers of light that scattered in all directions.

Within the twin lotus buds, a powerful consciousness suddenly emerged.

This consciousness was very clear and brimming with joy, as if reborn, full of exuberant excitement.

Not long after, two beams of light shot out from the buds, swiftly landing on the edge of the Cold Jade Pool.

At the same time, the two vortices above the pool vanished, and the spiritual energy dispersed into the air with a whoosh.

The red and white lights that landed seemed to each reveal a hazy figure, indistinct but showing that one wore red robes and the other white. Their temperaments were vastly different, yet both appeared to possess remarkable beauty.

Then, Xu Ziqing heard two nearly identical voices:

“Yan Hua.”

“Yue Hua.”

“Greetings to the Master of Ten Thousand Woods.”
