Chapter 51. Possession [Past Chapter] This One Look, Will Be Forever and Ever…
The young man’s palm was soft and dry, rubbing against her skin, bringing a feather-like tickle, and the scorching temperature transmitted instantly burned her coolness to ashes.
The Immortal Master, who had never been in such close contact with anyone before, had sweat seeping from her palm.
He suddenly turned back to look at her, his expression as calm as ever, but with a hint of complaint in his tone.
“You’re walking so slowly, hurry up. Why is your hand still wet?”
She pursed her lips, her jaw tightened, trying to maintain her composure.
She couldn’t understand why she was acting so abnormally.
She was even more puzzled that the instigator could still complain so righteously.
“Be careful!”
Seeing that the young man who had turned back to look at her was about to bump into the intersecting shelves in front, she quickly stopped her messy thoughts, stopped her steps, and used some force to pull back the young man who was rushing forward.
“Mmph–”
The young man, who was looking up, directly crashed into her arms, and unexpectedly touched her lips.
A pair of peach blossom eyes suddenly widened, at that moment he even held his breath, and there was only one thought in his blank mind.
So soft, so fragrant, kissed the immortal sister!
The heart in the young man’s chest began to beat faster, a heat burning all the way to his ears, confused and at a loss.
The Immortal Master was also very surprised by this coincidental touch, the sensitive lips transmitted a tingling sensation like an electric current passing through, causing her heart rate to be momentarily imbalanced.
She quickly lowered her eyelashes, stepped back, and turned her gaze away.
“Remember to watch the road.”
The hoarse voice sounded in the air, she seemed as calm as if nothing had happened, the chaos in her eyes was completely concealed, not showing a bit.
The young man puffed out his cheeks, looking somewhat dissatisfied at her letting go of his hand.
The originally dry palm now also had a hint of moisture, he seemed to suddenly understand something.
“Immortal sister, we held hands, and kissed, if we sleep together, will we have a baby?”
He seemed a bit eager to try: “Shall we go try it later?”
“…Are all you demons so… so presumptuous?”
The little Demon Lord didn’t understand: “How is it presumptuous, it’s just sleeping together, you don’t want to?”
Babies, what a magical thing!
Just three steps to get one!
Seeing her expression seemed unwilling, the young man grumbled: “You’re so stingy, not even willing to sleep together, I won’t steal your pillow.”
“……”
Is this about pillows?
“Look, we’ve unknowingly completed the first two steps, just missing the last one, it would be such a waste not to do it.”
The Immortal Master didn’t know what expression to make, looking at him very helplessly.
“What are you thinking, how could it be so simple…”
The young man grumbled: “When I went to watch plays in the mortal realm, that’s how they all performed it, isn’t it?”
She reached out and knocked on his head: “It’s not, don’t always learn these messy things.”
“Just right, there are some poems and classics left by the predecessors here, you can study them well, I’ll go get them, you wait here.”
After saying this, she turned and left, her back looking a bit hurried.
“Just now she was so slow, now she’s walking quite fast.”
The young man squatted down to draw circles on the ground, covering his head, thinking back and forth, feeling very conflicted.
“How is it not? I clearly remember it was three steps: holding hands, kissing, and sleeping, could those actors be lying?”
“I’ll settle accounts with them another day, hmph!”
*
After the Immortal Master brought those poems and books, she had regained her usual elegance, but her ink-black eyes were like a summer lake, calm, yet warm.
The two left the treasure vault together, the young man hugging the classics she gave him went back to his room, but not long after, he rushed to the main hall with a bitter face.
“Wah, those things are so hard to understand, Immortal sister, I don’t want to read!”
The Immortal Master who had just been peaceful for not even half an hour: “……”
“Be good, reading these is beneficial for cultivating your character.”
“My body is very good, no need to cultivate.”
“……”
Is that what cultivating character means?
“Since you’re in the Celestial Realm, you should understand the rules of the Celestial Realm, otherwise you should go back to your demon realm soon.”
Hearing this, the young man immediately became unhappy.
“I don’t want to go back.”
There are no beautiful immortal sisters there.
“Then why don’t you listen?”
The young man drooped his head: “Oh, I’ll read then, okay?”
The Immortal Master breathed a sigh of relief, finally having time to calm her somewhat chaotic state of mind.
However, although he agreed, he often slacked off in his daily life, being very good at paying lip service while disobeying in reality.
Over these months, this troublemaking little Demon Lord wandered around various parts of the divine palace, loving to catch those spirit essences to play with, and loving to pick fruits to eat everywhere, regardless of whether they were ripe or not, in short, he wanted to taste anything that looked good.
The spirit essences went to complain to the Immortal Master, and at this time, the clever and cunning young man would hug those piles of poetry books to ask questions.
“Immortal sister, I don’t understand this part, can you explain what it means?”
“…Did you bully those spirit essences again?”
The young man blinked: “Ah, Immortal sister, what are you saying?”
“……”
“Immortal sister, hurry and explain it to me, see how well-behaved I am, a studious demon.”
“Heh, then I’ll explain it to you properly. ‘Attain the utmost in Passivity, Hold firm to the basis of Quietude, The myriad things take shape and rise to activity, But I watch them fall back to their repose’… Don’t fall asleep.”
“Ah, huh?”
She had just started explaining for a short while, and he was already dozing off on the table, but was immediately knocked awake.
“Weren’t you studious?”
The young man rubbed his eyes and smiled obediently: “Mmhmm, studious.”
“Then listen carefully, I’ll continue. ‘All things in all their variety grow from this returning to their root’…”
The abstruse and difficult-to-understand sentences entered from the left ear and exited from the right ear, their function seemingly only to leave the sleepy bugs in the young man’s mind.
Before long, he nodded off again, even mumbling in his sleep.
“Mmm, so sweet, want more…”
“Immortal sister is the prettiest…”
The Immortal Master who hadn’t even turned a page: “……”
She shook her head helplessly, but this time didn’t knock him awake again.
“Such a mischievous one.”
She sighed lightly, waved her right hand, and in an instant, a fleece blanket appeared on the young man.
The spirit essences who had originally come to complain, seeing this scene, danced about in the air angrily, condensing into small human forms with their hands on their hips.
He always bullies us, the Immortal Master should teach him a good lesson!
“As spirit beings, yet weak enough to be pinched in the palm of a demon, shouldn’t you reflect on yourselves?”
Spirit essences: ???
But he’s the Demon Lord, why doesn’t he get hurt at all when he touches us?!
Unlike other demons who get burned when touching spirit essences!
Obviously, the Immortal Master didn’t care about these things, waving her hand to disperse the small figures in the air with flames on their heads, and got up to carry the young man who was sprawled on the desk.
She took him back to his room and stood by the bed looking at the young man on it.
“Indeed, he’s more well-behaved when asleep.”
As soon as the words fell, the young man on the bed suddenly rolled over, and the fleece blanket quickly entangled him.
He seemed to feel uncomfortable, trying to kick it off with his legs, but to no avail, rolling back and forth on the bed.
After tossing and turning for a while, he successfully kicked the fleece blanket to the ground, and he also sprawled out in a starfish shape, still sleeping soundly.
“…I take that back.”
Indeed, the word “well-behaved” just doesn’t apply to him.
The Immortal Master shook her head, not forgetting to close the door properly before leaving, setting up a barrier, then flying towards the place where that rift suddenly appeared in the west.
The reappearance of the Fallen Sky Secret Realm, if not plugged up at this time, would cause endless troubles if it expanded further in the future.
Fortunately, the rift was still small now, she had searched through countless ancient books recently and found a method, only needing to set up a formation.
By the time she finished all this and returned to the divine palace, it was already three days later.
The young man who had long since woken up but found himself locked in was a bit anxious.
“Where did you go? Why did you lock me up? Are you trying to catch me again!”
He angrily accused, his eyes also showing a hint of grievance.
He had thought they were already friends, but she actually did this to him!
It’s infuriating!
The Immortal Master waved her hand to remove the barrier in front of the door and explained.
“I went out for a while, this was to prevent you from being discovered by other immortals.”
When she was here, of course, she could conceal his aura at any time, but when she wasn’t, naturally she had to take every precaution.
The little Demon Lord’s resentment dissipated somewhat, so she was protecting him.
“You don’t need to worry, I’m very powerful, except for you, no other immortals will discover me!”
She chuckled lightly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
If he behaved, just staying in the Celestial Realm indeed wouldn’t be so easily discovered, after all, he was the Demon Lord.
But he wasn’t quiet, if he went out, who knows whose divine palace he might sneak into and cause trouble.
If others couldn’t discover him like that, then that immortal might as well quit.
“Your identity is special, it’s better to be thorough with some things.”
“But I’m so bored here alone, when you’re not here, those little cuties also don’t know where they’ve hidden, there’s no one to play with me.”
He said pitifully, and the Immortal Master spoke softly.
“I’ve already resolved the matter.”
The young man’s eyes lit up: “Then can you always accompany me?”
Looking at the young man’s expectant eyes, she didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
Clearly, they were a celestial and a demon, supposed to be in opposing positions, but at this moment, her heart was like a zither.
She was moved by each of his gazes, the scattered heart sounds drilling deep into her chest, lingering for a long time without dissipating.
She thought, it shouldn’t be like this.
But following her true heart, what came out of her vermilion lips was–
“I can.”
“Yay!”
With a jubilant shout, it was as if a drop of spirit dew splashed, slowly spreading a faint light into the bottom of the young man’s eyes, incomparably brilliant.
At that moment, the Immortal Master, lost in thought, couldn’t help but have a thought arise, it’s over.
The dignified Celestial Realm Immortal Master, who had never been defeated since her ascension, one day was defeated by his unintentional provocation.
She thought, it seemed a bit absurd.
Yet so real.
His vibrancy, his liveliness, his innocence and mischief, were all imprinted on the bottom of her heart in this year and more of entanglement and companionship, difficult to erase.
However, since he had provoked her, she didn’t want to give him a chance to escape.
What if she was defeated, she could still turn the tables.
She wanted to keep this Demon Lord of the demon realm by her side forever, and one day, she would also make him stand openly by her side.
Thinking of this, when the Immortal Master looked at the young man again, there was suddenly a hint of possession and invasion in her eyes that was not easy to detect.
The viscous gaze locked onto him, this one look, will be forever and ever.
