Arc 7 – Farewell to that Senior Brother
Chapter 169

Once people who don’t normally flirt suddenly start flirting, the effect can be astonishing.

Those words instantly cleared away Chi Zhao’s gloomy emotions and he also began to look forward to the upcoming ceremony.

The date was originally set very soon. After the people in the Zhao Tian sect recovered from the initial shock, they found themselves caught up with the preparations. At any rate, it was also a ceremony for the future sect leader so they should naturally make it decent. The entire Zhao Tian sect was of one heart and they actually managed to get everything done before the third.

The ceremony was cumbersome and lengthy, but Chi Zhao wasn’t impatient at all. Although this wasn’t his first time getting married, he was very happy just at the thought that the other party was that person.

The ceremony in the cultivation realm was different to the normal ceremonies. Although there were many procedures, most were impersonal, and they must sit and meditate at every turn and swear to the gods. After all the steps were done, the sky had already darkened.

Sitting in Lin Changfeng’s room, Chi Zhao pursed his lips. Even his palms were a little sweaty.

He wasn’t nervous. He had been in a marriage relationship for many years now, so it was difficult for him to be nervous because of that. The reason why he was sweating was purely due to excitement.

……..

Because this was the ancient world and Lin Changfeng was clearly a pure-hearted, reserved and introverted person, he seldom made moves himself. Having held back for two years, Chi Zhao was at his limit.

Now that they’re Dao companions, Lin Changfeng probably has no reason to refuse him, right?

Lin Changfeng had gone out and once again brought back the jug of wine which had been resealed last time. What he saw when he returned with the jug was Chi Zhao covering his face with his hands, giggling goofily.

Lin Changfeng, “………”

He couldn’t help but smile. Lin Changfeng closed the door and walked over. Hearing the dull thud of the jug hitting the table, Chi Zhao looked up at Lin Changfeng. His eyes lit up but upon seeing the jug of wine, he froze.

No way, are we drinking today too? Then when he wakes up tomorrow, he wouldn’t remember anything!

Seeing the change in Chi Zhao’s expression, Lin Changfeng concisely explained, “Just exchanging a drink. No need to drink too much.”

After saying that, Lin Changfeng sat down and took out two small cups. The capacity was at most a small sip. He slowly opened the jug and the rich aroma immediately floated out. Chi Zhao blinked a few times and sat down, “Exchanging drinks is also required when cultivators form a contract?”

“No.” Lin Changfeng shook his head. He then raised his eyes slightly, “This is a rule mortals have when they get married.”

Chi Zhao blushed. At the same time, he couldn’t help but smile.

The cultivator’s ceremony seemed a little cold. It clearly should be a lively ceremony, but everyone’s clothes were normal and even the two main characters had only replaced their clothes with a set of white robes that had a few more patterns on it.

Dao companions and married couples are still fundamentally different. After becoming Dao companions, many still return to their own residences and may not even see each other for many years, only getting together when they need to work together. This kind of relationship was the best type of relationship as the purpose of becoming Dao companions was in order to progress further, not because they wanted to vent their desires. The type of marriage mortals have are practically non-existent among cultivators.

However, at this moment, Lin Changfeng had asked him to exchange drinks. What this meant was self-evident.

After the wine was poured and before Lin Changfeng could move, Chi Zhao had already quickly snatched up his cup. Looking at Chi Zhao’s bright and shiny eyes, Lin Changfeng’s actions paused.

A second later, he also showed a warm smile.

With their arms entwined, Chi Zhao could feel Lin Changfeng’s warm breath against his forearm. He was already feeling dizzy before he even drank, as if he was drunk. After downing the wine in one go and placing down the cup, Chi Zhao looked at Lin Changfeng again with eyes filled with expectations. Lin Changfeng was also looking at him with a soft expression and focused eyes.

Chi Zhao suddenly felt that the current Lin Changfeng was different from usual. As for how he was different, he couldn’t pinpoint it. Perhaps the him tonight seemed to be a little more humane?

Although he had been very good to Chi Zhao before, it wasn’t as much as today. Today, he had really been playing the role of a newlywed husband. With a bit of alcohol scent, he looked gently and unabashedly at his newlywed wife. Chi Zhao was a little stunned. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Changfeng in front of him lowered his eyes. His slender fingers with well defined joints took hold of the empty wine cup and turned it such that the patten on the cup faced him.

“I am from Changzhou of Country Wei.”

The pattern on the cup was rare. Lin Changfeng himself hadn’t seen this pattern in a long time. Except for Jiye Zhenren, almost no one knew of Lin Changfeng’s background and Chi Zhao also didn’t know. Hearing him talk about his hometown, Chi Zhao gave his full attention, not wanting to miss a single word.

“There are many wineries in Changzhou and almost everyone can make wine. This one was the most famous one there. My family were imperial merchants in Country Wei and my ancestors have been making wine for many generations. When I left home, my father didn’t give me much money, but he gave me some of his handmade wine. My father had always been strict. My mother was worried that I would suffer so she stuffed me a bag of gold and then gave me a pair of heirlooms which are these two cups.”

Hearing this, Chi Zhao subconsciously looked down at the cup he had just drunk from. It turned out that these cups held so much significance? Last time when he and Lin Changfeng drank, weren’t they also using these cups?

“On the night of my parent’s marriage, they used these two cups to exchange wine. This was also the same for my grandparents.”

Cool fingertips touched the corners of his lips. Chi Zhao wiped off the residual wine and raised his head. Lin Changfeng’s eyes were deep and his voice was lower than before.

“Do you know why this wine is called Drunk Beauty?”

Chi Zhao opened his mouth to speak. Those slightly rough fingers didn’t leave his face and followed the movement of the lips as it opened and closed. His voice was as small as a whisper, “……I don’t know.”

Lin Changfeng suddenly laughed, “Because this is the wine you drink when you get married. Every young man in Changzhou would make a jug of Drunk Beauty at twelve years of age and on the day of marriage, when the wine is most mellow, they can drink it whilst having a beautiful woman lying drunk in their arms.”

“Parents naturally hope that their children can form a family soon. Even after becoming a cultivator, my parents still didn’t not let go of this wish. I could only let them down. It took more than six hundred years for this Drunk Beauty to be drunk.”

Chi Zhao widened his eyes slightly. He seemed to know why Lin Changfeng was saying this.

Lin Changfeng leaned over and pressed his forehead against Chi Zhao’s. The distance between the two was now much shorter. Met with Chi Zhao’s stunned gaze, Lin Changfeng’s voice carried a hint of a smile, “Chi Zhao, do you understand what I mean?”

It was already spoken so straightforwardly, only a fool wouldn’t understand what he meant. Chi Zhao really didn’t expect that Lin Changfeng had already liked him since a year ago. What had he been doing the past year? Enjoying the feeling of being pursued?!

Chi Zhao was both angry and amused. He was like a little puppy and he bit Lin Changfeng to express his anger. He however didn’t bite hard, so it only felt a little ticklish. It didn’t cause any bleeding, but it conversely made Lin Changfengs gaze darken further.

The two quickly became entangled. Chi Zhao closed his eyes, enjoying his first kiss since becoming a legal couple, but halfway through, Lin Changfeng opened his eyes.

His eyes were as black as ink. The next moment, he closed his eyes again. Chi Zhao felt tingling pain on the tip of his tongue and subconsciously wanted to back away. Lin Changfeng however was holding his head, preventing him from doing that.

Lin Changfeng was still the introverted Lin Changfeng. The reason why he had said so much today wasn’t to let Chi Zhao know that he had liked him for a long time but to make Chi Zhao put his guard down.

As long as he truly liked him, he naturally wouldn’t agree with forming a life and death contract especially with the knowledge that it was basically bringing Lin Changfeng closer to death. He naturally knew how much Chi Zhao liked him, so he couldn’t tell him. He could only use such a despicable method to trick him into forming the contract.

A very strange feeling spread through his heart. At this moment, Chi Zhao suddenly felt very sad, as if someone had punched him in the heart. This feeling was fleeting. When Chi Zhao opened his eyes again, he couldn’t find the source of this feeling.

Lin Changfeng was still the same as before.

Chi Zhao felt that he might’ve been thinking too much. Since entering this world, he had often had some not so normal thoughts and emotions. It was probably his Yin spiritual root playing up during that short moment.

Chi Zhao didn’t have any more doubts. Lin Changfeng tightened his arms and held the person in his arms even more tightly.

He regretted it.

He had previously told Jiye Zhenren that he wanted to make a life and death contract because it was the only way he could suppress Chi Zhao and tie him down, but now he didn’t want Chi Zhao to know.

He didn’t want to make Chi Zhao worry, let along make him feel guilty. If the Yin spiritual root was destined to die early and he couldn’t change Chi Zhao’s fate no matter what he did, he would rather make sure Chi Zhao lived happily during the time remaining.

If Chi Zhao loved him enough, he wouldn’t develop an inner demon but even if Chi Zhao didn’t love him enough and developed an inner demon, it was still okay.

They would live together and die together. No matter where they went, they would be together.

Yu Mochen felt that he was seriously unlucky.

The person he had been pursing had all of a sudden become a Dao companion of junior brother Lin and on the day of their ceremony, he actually still had to take a dozen other disciples down the mountain to train.

It happened to be storming where they were. Lying in the inn, Yu Mochen turned over in frustration.

He didn’t like rainy days. When he checked the sky earlier, he didn’t think that the weather would be bad, but he had unexpectedly encountered this kind of weather as soon as he arrived. It was as if God was laughing at him.

There was thunder and lightning outside. Yu Mochen couldn’t sleep so he got up, put on his clothes and got ready to read for a while. As soon as he laid down and closed his eyes, he would always see Chi Zhao’s face which was a little gloomy and beside him was junior brother Lin. Just the thought of what the two of them might be doing right now made him unable to sleep.

Another sky-splitting lighting flashed through the night sky. Yu Mochen paused and clicked his tongue a few times.

Those who don’t know may think there is a great calamity happening here. With such a loud thunderclap, hopefully he wouldn’t be rendered deaf later?

Yu Mochen chuckled at the thought of this and continued walking. Just after taking a step, deafening thunder sounded and at the same time, a long black needle suddenly appeared behind him, piercing into his neck. Yu Mochen was surprised. He reached back to touch but before he could do that, he collapsed onto the ground.
