Ch14 - He tilted his head and bit down on Feng Ci…

Pei QianYue slept for three more days.

During these days, Feng Ci took advantage of their time alone together to give Pei QianYue a complete and thorough examination. 

Pei QianYue’s state wasn’t simply part of a coma. His current state actually was no different from a cultivator in static meditation.

The only difference was that when cultivators meditated statically, they used their cultivation to stabilize their Sea of Awareness into a dormant state while they continued to cultivate or leave their body via Divine Consciousness. Meanwhile Pei QianYue… he seemed unable to keep his sea of awareness in a stable state. Therefore, he had no choice but to use worldly items to force himself into dormancy.

 

 

To put it briefly, he lost control.

As for the root cause for this loss of control, Pei QianYue’s Sea of Awareness was too tranquil right now. Feng Ci temporarily couldn’t figure it out. 

If he wanted to know the truth, he could only wait for Pei QianYue to wake up and then ask him.

 

…… However, Feng Ci didn’t think this person would speak truthfully to him while awake.

To a certain degree, the currently senseless Xiao Hei was truly much cuter than when he’s awake. Adorable, obedient, frank, and as clingy as he was 3000 years ago.

Naturally, this was only to a certain degree.

 

After the Divine Consciousness was released unrestrained, the little black snake regressed to the most primal instincts of a snake. However, the primal instincts of a snake……

Were pretty complicated to describe in a few words.

After Feng Ci moved inside LinXian Terrace, he fully engaged in his responsibilities as the personal servant. Other than playing with the City Master, whose intelligence was only that of a snake, he also cleaned up and tidied the practically pillaged looking grand hall inside and out.

 

Pei QianYue had hundreds of books and magic items inside this hall. Plus, he had destroyed a bunch of furniture and decorations a few days ago in his state of mental delirium. This was a huge project for Feng Ci to clean up and organize. 

Right now, Feng Ci felt somewhat guilty towards his family’s little black snake and wanted to do something to make up for it. Therefore, he didn’t use any spirit energy and tackled the entire project on his own.

This naturally wasn’t anything to him. What’s more unbearable was that the troublemaker behind this entire mess just had to come out and create more chaos from time to time.

For example, right now.

Feng Ci was busy mending the scattered pages of a rare book. 

A slender, round snake head slowly poked out from underneath the table. It climbed onto the surface of the table and rubbed against Feng Ci’s wrist.

Feng Ci gave it a casual stroke and said: “Go play by yourself first. Let me finish here.”

Perhaps because this rare book was an exceptionally terrible read or something, during the Divine Consciousness’s destruction, it was damaged rather terribly. A large portion of the book’s pages were scattered everywhere. Feng Ci spent three hours searching for every page.

After finding all the pages, he still needed to restore and mend it. During this period of time, he had ignored the great serpent lord. 

The black snake nuzzled against Feng Ci’s wrist a few times. Seeing the latter failing to understand its meaning, it lowered its head and slowly retracted back down.

Immediately afterwards, it changed direction and started climbing up Feng Ci’s ankle.

 

After these days of interactions, Feng Ci had long gotten used to this guy wrapping around his body from time to time. He was too lazy to stop it and allowed it to do whatever.

The black snake slowly climbed up Feng Ci’s calf and wrapped around his waist and abdomen. Its tail also quietly poked into Feng Ci’s complicated layers of clothes. 

Jolting from the cold, Feng Ci’s hand shook and the tip of his finger was cut open by the shape edge of the book page.

Where was this jerk touching???

Feng Ci couldn’t touch it, but it can touch Feng Ci.

The snake tail curled around there more intensely.

“Hss—” 

The unfamiliar and ice-cold sensation made Feng Ci’s scalp turn numb. Gathering a bit of spiritual energy into his palm, he reached his hand inside and grabbed this lawless and unruly little snake, pulling it out.

“You’re getting more and more rampant now, huh?” Feng Ci held the black snake before him. For once, the tips of his ears felt a bit hot: “Don’t think I wouldn’t really beat you up.”

Who the hell indoctrinated this snake? To love crawling into people’s clothes.

So impolite. 

The black snake only curled up in response, the tip of its tail shaking slightly.

Feng Ci thought it was pretending to be pitiful again and gave a cold sneer. He was just about to say something, but then he saw the black snake tremble more intensely.

Feng Ci frowned.

His cut was still bleeding. A drop of blood trickled downwards following the tip of his finger and landed on the body of the black snake. Instantly, it was absorbed until nothing was left. The black snake’s body trembled even more violently. Then the snake raised its head. Those blank, grayish-white pupils met Feng Ci’s eyes. 

A mighty surge of spirit energy exploded from the center of his palm.

Feng Ci subconsciously released his grip. Before the black snake’s body landed on the floor, it transformed into a green smoke and dispersed into the air.

 

It didn’t vanish; rather it’s been summoned back.

Pei QianYue’s awareness…… has awaken. 

Feng Ci walked swiftly into the secret room.

Xiao Que had said previously, the calming powder that he burned only assisted Pei QianYue in stabilizing his Sea of Awareness into a tranquil state. Whether Pei QianYue wakes up or not, and when he’ll wake up, completely depended on the result of his own self-adjustments.

However right now, it was obvious that he definitely did not wake up because his self-adjustments were complete.

There was no one inside the secret room. 

Pei QianYue, who was originally lying quietly on the bed, has already disappeared without a trace. The incense burner at the head of the bed was knocked over. The ashes of the incense were scattered all over the floor and extinguished.

The entire room was completely empty, creating a deathly silence.

The jade used to construct this room can completely block off the ability to sense spirit energy. Even though Feng Ci was right inside it, he still couldn’t sense Pei QianYue’s location. He steadied his breathing. As soon as he walked next to the bed, he was suddenly knocked over by strong force.

His back touched the rigid stone bed. However, what’s pressing down on his body was no longer the ice-cold, soft body of a snake, but rather a pair of hands.

Feng Ci raised his head and looked into that handsome and peerless face.

In this moment, Feng Ci finally understood the reason why Pei QianYue would rather render himself mentally incoherent, lose control over his own Divine Consciousness, and force his Sea of Awareness into a coma.

On that handsome face, black colored snake scales surfaced little by little, starting from his neck and spreading to the side of his face and forehead.

Meanwhile, at the center of his brows, a blood red mark appeared strikingly. 

That was an indicator of impending qi deviation.

Feng Ci’s expression changed.

A fury that he has not felt for a long time burst forth from the deep depths of his body. This was a natural instinct engraved into his blood and bones by the Heavenly Principle, an instinct that existed within the depths of his soul for practically thousands of years.

—A hatred towards evil(魔). 

Feng Ci abruptly grabbed Pei QianYue’s wrist, his expression an unprecedented ice-cold.

“Kill him.”

 

“All evil deserve to die.”

“You have to do it. There’s no one else besides you. You must do it.” 

Expressionlessly, Feng Ci gathered spirit energy into his idle hand. A slim long sword made of pale gold spirit energy emerged from the void.

The body of the sword trembled violently, releasing a roaring hum.

This was Feng Ci’s companion sword that has not been unsheathed for 3000 years.

The name of the sword, Qian Qiu. 

The mighty pressure of the spirit energy within the room instantly surpassed what ordinary people could endure. Even Pei QianYue, who was leaning over Feng Ci, furrowed his brow. It was evident that his mental state has not cleared up yet. He only pressed down forcibly on Feng Ci’s shoulders with both hands and tilted his head slightly with a hint of bewilderment in his expression.

The two people’s clothes and hair fluttered involuntarily under the intense might of the spirit pressure.

Pei QianYue’s black ribbon also unraveled and fell off at this time.

Revealing those extremely pale-colored pupils, empty but beautiful. 

Feng Ci’s hand, which was about to grasp the hilt of his sword, halted abruptly.

This was the first time Feng Ci saw his eyes.

After transforming into human form, these eyes no longer seemed as out-of-place as they were in snake form. Thick long eyelashes hung downwards like feathers. The corners of Pei QianYue’s eyes were slanted and slender, but his countenance was fresh and limpid like colored glass. Looking over nonchalantly, his eyes seemed to carry frost and snow.

However, simultaneously, they seemed like a clear spring that washed away all hatred and rage. 

Feng Ci closed his eyes and forcibly suppressed the raging fury within his blood.

What was he doing.

The little snake hatchling had waited for him for so long. Was it just to wait for a strike from his sword?

After a long time, the mighty spirit pressure inside the room finally dispersed. The slim immortal sword vanished back into the void. Feng Ci released a long exhale, chuckled quietly, and released Pei QianYue’s wrist. 

“Once you wake up, you better have a good explanation for me.”

The knife-edge tension inside the room faded with these words from Feng Ci. Feng Ci fell back onto the jade bed, his entire body relaxing completely.

 

He looked up. Pei QianYue remained hovering over his body.

Feng Ci: “……” 

Feng Ci pushed him: “Get up. Let me see what’s going on with your Sea of Awareness.”

After calming down, Feng Ci also managed to see that Pei QianYue didn’t actually qi deviate completely.

There were two types of evil(魔), innate and acquired.

Innate evil were born with a demonic(魔) heart and can only practice demonic cultivation. They were naturally blood-thirsty and violent, uncontrollable. This kind of evil has already been exterminated by Feng Ci three thousand years ago. They have completely vanished from this world. 

Meanwhile acquired evil… wasn’t a particularly rare sight within this world.

Starting from Foundation Establishment, cultivators encounter various dangers on their cultivation path to immortality. With a slight carelessness, there’s the possibility of qi deviation.

If qi deviation were to occur, then an inner demon can grow within the Sea of Awareness and gradually corrode the Divine Consciousness, thus causing the cultivator to become a true demon(魔).

As for Pei QianYue, perhaps because the method that he used for calming his awareness was actually effective; his inner demon has not yet engulfed him. However, the exact extent of his qi deviation and how to resolve it… All of this depended on the root cause of his qi deviation. 

Feng Ci has been dealing with evil(魔) for who knows how many years. Instantly, he began searching for a plan in his head.

However, the person on top of him didn’t understand his hard work and good intentions.

As if sensing that the danger has passed, Pei QianYue’s tense body also gradually relaxed.

His behavior remained similar to that of a small snake. Holding down Feng Ci with both hands, he lowered his head and buried his face into the crook of Feng Ci’s neck, sniffing softly. 

In his original form, he did this plenty of times. However, now that he was in human form, this action seemed a bit too intimate. Feng Ci turned his head in discomfort. Pei QianYue didn’t continue to lean closer. Instead, he changed directions.

He moved over little by little and closed his ice-cold lips around Feng Ci’s injured finger.

Completely unconcerned that these hands almost drew a sword and chopped him into pieces just a second ago.

Feng Ci understood that it was most likely his blood that accidentally roused Pei QianYue’s awareness from its coma. Therefore, long before entering this secret room, he had already healed that small wound. 

However, Pei QianYue didn’t know this.

He only buried his head and sucked carefully on the tip of Feng Ci’s finger.

 

Partially-transforming into a demon(魔), Pei QianYue grew pointy teeth in his mouth. The sharp canines scraped across Feng Ci’s recently healed wound, causing it to itch slightly.

Feng Ci couldn’t stand this itch and flinched a bit. However, Pei QianYue pressed him down even more firmly. 

The inner demon rampaging in Pei QianYue’s Sea of Awareness hasn’t been pacified completely yet. When he looked at Feng Ci with his vacant eyes, within the clear, pale pupils, there’s a faint flash of red light.

Unaware of the root cause of Pei QianYue’s qi deviation, Feng Ci didn’t dare to stimulate him right now. He had no choice but to relax his body obediently.

Pei QianYue finally abandoned the small area of skin on the tip of Feng Ci’s finger. Holding Feng Ci’s wrist with one hand, he pressed down over Feng Ci completely once again.

Immediately afterwards, he tilted his head and bit down on the side of Feng Ci’s neck. 

Two sharp teeth pierced through the skin. Scalding fresh blood gushed out, and was licked up as much as possible by Pei QianYue.
