the chasm between us
Alvin's heart tightened painfully as he stared at Murong Wuque, who continued eating as though nothing had happened.However, Murong Wuque's expression had grown darker than before.Something was clearly going through his mind as well.Alvin couldn't believe his ears.A man who had once licked, tasted, and explored every inch of his skin without the slightest hesitation suddenly thought food was contaminated simply because Alvin had eaten a piece of meat with the same chopsticks.Yes, everyone knew Murong Wuque had severe cleanliness OCD.But with Alvin, it had never seemed to exist.He hated physical contact, yet he could stay glued to Alvin's side all night.He would recoil whenever someone touched his bare skin, yet he had once licked, sucked and kissed every inch of Alvin’s body. Ate him like a starving man.But now, he thought Alvin was dirty.Now, he was shoving him into the same icy box where he kept everyone else.Alvin suddenly began to laugh. The sound was hollow, devoid of
Must have been crazy
For several seconds, Alvin couldn't speak. His mind kept running in circles, desperately trying to make sense of what he had just heard.His face had grown even paler.Meanwhile, Murong Wuque casually took another spoonful of soup, every movement elegant and cultured, utterly befitting his superior breeding and class.Alvin watched him eat.Murong Wuque's expression remained blank, but his heart was nowhere near as settled as he appeared.It had taken him only two sips to realize that Alvin had used the thousand-year-old herbs he had been hoarding in his collection, precious ingredients meant to replenish life energy, blood, and qi.And it wasn't just one.There were also spirit beast meat and spirit mushrooms from the times Alvin had entered mysterious spaces to hunt after completing missions.Those rare treasures, unavailable anywhere on Earth, had been guarded jealously, preserved in their perfect forms and carefully stored away.Murong Wuque had always thought Alvin would hold on
cast aside
For nearly a minute, Alvin forgot how to breathe. A sharp pang shot straight through his heart. His hands trembled slightly, and a cold shiver brushed across his skin. He slowly glanced up at Murong Wuque's face. Murong Wuque arched an eyebrow, watching him and patiently waiting. Alvin's chest tightened. Then his own voice echoed inside his mind. [“Hope this meal isn't poisoned? Not like last supper or anything similar?”] He had said those words to Murong Wuque weeks ago, after returning from the mission where he went to rescue the kids. His words back then had come out casually. But deep inside, he knew they had been borne from suspicion. A suspicion that had begun to hibernate after seeing the silhouette of the silver-haired thief who had tampered with his safe. His suspicion that the all-powerful Immortal Lord sitting atop the evil organization and ordering chaos across the three realms was none other than the man bending him over every night and digging into him like it
A bite of his own medicine
EARTH, VILLA NUMBER SEVEN Alvin balanced the two trays in his right hand and pushed the door to their room open. A small smile tugged at his lips. He had gone out of his way to cook for him. Surely, this would thaw the century-old ice living in his room. He kicked the door shut with his foot and carried the trays to the centre table in their room. He carefully lowered them onto it. The table was surrounded by three sofas in a U-shape and was located close to the wide glass partition separating their room from the balcony. The curtains above the glass partition were half drawn, leaving only the sliding door section that led to the balcony open. Murong Wuque was sitting at his workstation. On seeing Alvin walk into the room, he quickly closed the folder he was working on and switched to a random financial chart report. Aurelio was half asleep on his thigh, his little teeth having left quite a lot of marks on Murong Wuque's forearm. He was teething, which made him more sensit
trap closing in
Yuwen Hao sighed heavily and shook his head. “It breaks my heart that Ruohan gave heed to evil companions and advice which led him to this point. Generations of the Yuwen clan have stood for what was right and upright, never oppressing others.” At this point, those who knew Yuwen Hao’s real nature couldn't help the sneers that appeared on their faces. Never oppressing others, huh? Oppression must have gotten a different meaning since the others checked. “The Valley's rules for dealing with people who betray its teachings are very clear. I won't show mercy or make exceptions because I know the offender.” His pitch dropped at this point, as if he was struggling to keep his voice steady or fighting to keep himself from breaking down. Slowly, he exhaled. “Therefore, I will be choosing the harshest punishment for Yuwen Ruohan!” His voice boomed across the open space, forceful and full of conviction. The person in the cage was breathing heavily, each breath shallow and labo
Treacherous old fox
Chu Feng, who had been watching Yuwen Hao’s body language from a distance, frowned.Yuwen Hao appeared far too calm for someone whose son had been trapped. He didn't look bothered by the accusations flying around. Knowing the way Yuwen Hao operated and his sly methods, Chu Feng couldn't help but straighten, anxiety rocking through him.He had asked Su Ying, and any other person whose vulnerability could give him an opening for a counterattack, not to come today.Suddenly, the loud clanking of chains came from above the pavilion.Chu Feng shuddered.A feeling of déjà vu swept over him. For a fleeting moment, he could almost see Murong Wuque there again, staring up at descending chains in confusion.He shook his head and took several deep breaths.Yang Yang gripped his palm and gave it a tight squeeze. “You okay, man?”Chu Feng forced a smile and nodded. Then he turned his full attention to the stage.A giant cage was descending from who knew where.Many people instinctively held their
