TMS Chapter 54

It was Cang, Cang had transformed.

Qin Yu smiled at the handsome young man in front of him, who was full of wildness and said, “Congratulations on your successful transformation, Cang.”

Cang’s eyes were bent with laughter immediately, but his expression changed suddenly. He licked his lower lip and stared at Qin Yu with an uneasy look.

Qin Yu knew what he was thinking at a glance and smiled, “Your human form is as good-looking as your original form.” Cang smiled again, rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly and said sincerely, “The best-looking one is still the master.”

Hearing this, Qin Yu also wanted to rub Cang’s head, but when his hand was extended halfway, he realized that the other party was no longer a giant silver wolf. Qin Yu retracted his hand and asked in a natural way, “Don’t call me master, you should call me Dao Jun like others. Also, you have successfully transformed, do you want to go back to the Polar Abyss?” After all, that was his home and he was still the patriarch of the wolf demon clan.

“To be honest, I have the same idea.”

Qin Yu nodded, “In that case, go ahead.”

“I will return to my master sooner. By the way, Dao Jun,” Cang handed a paper crane to Qin Yu, “I just received it.”

*********

The wind whistled past his ears as Qin Yu stood on the sword and flew towards the dense forest behind Tianyan Sect. Passing the medicinal field, he saw a familiar figure so he slowed down. The other party obviously noticed him and immediately raised his head and shouted, “Don’t be so proud, Han Rong!”

Su Zian’s secret trip to the secret realm without telling anyone was finally exposed. He was directly put in solitary confinement, and as his master, Yu Sheng was banned from cultivation by the elders and punished to do miscellaneous work for three months.

“What should I be proud of? Besides, you stepped on the herb seedlings, Master Yu.” Qin Yu said faintly with his arms folded.

Yu Sheng was startled. If the elders knew about this, the punishment would be doubled. He immediately dropped the medicinal seedlings in his hand and raised his foot to check. As a result, he accidentally kicked over the wooden barrel beside him. Not only did the barrel crush the seedlings, but the cold water instantly soaked his shoes and socks. He was in a very awkward situation. Qin Yu sneered and left, leaving Yu Sheng staring at his back and sulking.

“Benefactor!”

As soon as he landed at his destination, he heard an excited shout. Qin Yu paused and looked at the red figure in front of him, thinking that this title could not be changed. However, after confirming a certain fact, he was not disgusted. He walked quickly to the flower demon who was waving his hands, and Qin Yu raised the white paper crane and said, “I’m here. What do you want to see me for?” That’s right, this paper crane was sent by Xie Qiu to Qin Yu. On it, he requested that Qin Yu come to the place where they first met, that he had something to tell him.

As a result, Xie Qiu did not talk about business right away. Instead, he glanced at Qin Yu with resentment and said, “Why did you arrive just now, benefactor? I have been waiting for you for a long time.” Qin Yu was not annoyed at all. Instead, he explained, “I went to see my master and did not receive your message in time.”

“So that’s the case.” Xie Qiu smiled, and then asked Qin Yu with a bit of loneliness, “Your master must be very good to you, right?”

Coincidentally, this place is not far from Zhuo Yuan Peak. Qin Yu glanced in the direction of Zhuo Yuan Peak, then looked up at the sky that was divided into pieces by branches and leaves, and said in a bitter tone, “It’s hard to put it into words.”

The smile on Xie Qiu’s face froze. He clenched his fists and then released them, trying to swallow the words “I really envy you” that were already on his lips, and the atmosphere was silent for an instant.

Taking this opportunity, Qin Yu asked Xie Qiu again what exactly he wanted to talk to him about. As soon as he asked this, Xie Qiu knew that he could no longer change the subject. He lowered his head, put his elbows close to his body and said hesitantly, “I came to apologize to you, benefactor. In fact, I wanted to apologize in person, but I didn’t dare to go to your sect, so I could only ask you to come out.”

Don’t dare? Qin Yu didn’t believe it. He looked at Xie Qiu leisurely. Xie Qiu immediately avoided his sight and continued with a red face, “Last time in the secret realm, I shouldn’t have been unreasonable, and I also said that you are a scumbag, benefactor, don’t be angry…” When he said the word ‘scumbag’, his voice was very small and his tone was full of insecurity.

Qin Yu comforted him, “It’s okay, don’t take it to heart, I don’t care.” After saying that, Qin Yu seemed to feel that what he said was unconvincing and added, “If I was angry, I wouldn’t come to see you.”

“Really not angry?” Xie Qiu secretly glanced at Qin Yu. Qin Yu nodded, “Really.”

The next moment Qin Yu heard Xie Qiu’s joyful cry, and then he (XQ) leaned in front of him, staring at him with scorching eyes, “Does this mean that I can continue to court my benefactor?”

It turned out that he had been waiting for him here. Qin Yu thought about it and was about to answer, but Xie Qiu immediately stretched out a finger and put it in front of his lips, “The benefactor has eaten my rabbit, so he has no right to refuse.”

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Qin Yu to react, Xie Qiu turned around and ran into the dense forest. The fluttering red hem was like a fluttering butterfly. Before he was about to run out of Qin Yu’s sight, he turned back and shouted, “Wait for me to marry you, benefactor!” Qin Yu chuckled.

“Wow, why do I feel that the host has a tendency to play both sides?” The system quietly poked its head out.

Qin Yu leaned over and picked an unknown small flower at random, sniffing its fragrance and said, “After all, as an adult, of course I choose…” Although the rest of the words were not said, the meaning was already very clear.

“Host, you…” The system was dumbfounded, unable to believe that its host would say such a thing.

Qin Yu shook his head and sighed, “System, use your brain more.” The reason why Qin Yu dared to say this was simply because Xie Qiu and Jun Shi were the same person.

When Qin Yu first met Xie Qiu here, he had a vague sense of familiarity, but because Xie Qiu was too bold and enthusiastic, completely different from his previous personality, Qin Yu subconsciously ignored this feeling. Later, when he met Jun Shi, this feeling came up again. But this time Qin Yu did not ignore it, but had a guess.

That is, is Jun Shi his lover?

So with a full desire to explore, Qin Yu, who had already thoroughly understood the situation of the secret realm with the help of the system and could directly get the guzheng, pretended to be unfamiliar, tried looking for the guzheng everywhere, and happily accepted to act in the secret realm with Jun Shi in order to verify his guess. As a result, halfway through the journey, Jun Shi went offline because of his road idiocy, and then he (QY) turned around and met Xie Qiu.

During the time with Xie Qiu, the familiar taste of cooking was shocking, and Qin Yu finally realized what the feeling that he had ignored before was. Qin Yu fell into confusion in an instant, because at that time he was half sure that Jun Shi was his lover, what was going on? Then Xie Qiu went offline, Jun Shi appeared and Su Zian also appeared at the same time.

Interestingly, it was because of Su Zian’s appearance that Qin Yu, who was confused, immediately saw the light. Qin Yu speculated that Su Zian was reborn because he didn’t believe in the coincidences of bumping into each other. But can this also be applied to Jun Shi and Xie Qiu? Two people who never appeared together gave him the same feeling. Is it really possible to be so clever?

Later, it was because of Su Zian that Qin Yu could finally say with certainty that Jun Shi was Xie Qiu. Because when Su Zian approached him, Jun Shi immediately took over from Xie Qiu, and his whole behavior was different, but Jun Shi didn’t notice it until the end, Qin Yu couldn’t help but start to remind him…

As for the last time the system asked him why he kept teasing Jun Shi, the reason was also here. He started acting first, so I teased him verbally. Is that too much? Of course not.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu smiled. “If nothing unexpected happens, Jun Shi will come to see me soon.”

At this moment, the system, which had been trying to figure out what Qin Yu said for a long time, suddenly found something else. It said to Qin Yu in a panic, “I just found that the information I found last time was incomplete, host!”

“What information?” Qin Yu asked.

“It’s about Chun Tu…”

**********

“Go away, don’t come near me, don’t come near me!” Su Zian suddenly woke up from the nightmare. When he stood up and saw the darkness around him, he was startled again. His blood almost flowed back. “It’s so dark, I need a candle…”

Su Zian dragged his weak legs to light a new candle. When the flickering candlelight made the confinement room brighter, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had survived a disaster. He reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and then dragged his tired body to the bed again. As soon as he sat down, he felt a dampness. After realizing what it was, Su Zian’s face turned blue in an instant.

After everything was dealt with, Su Zian used trembling hands to open his clothes. When he saw that the skin on his chest was still black and blue, he pursed his lips. It has been so many days, how come there is no sign of recovery?

The scars that did not show any improvements made Su Zian feel as if he had returned to the secret realm all over again. That day, he confidently chose a path that he thought was right, but it almost cost him his life. Countless nightmares and countless demonic energy all pounced on him. He wanted to escape but it was too late. He didn’t even have the chance to call for help. In that short half day, he experienced countless desperate lives: everything was taken away by the person he loved, he watched himself being eaten by wild beasts and was killed by people in various ways…

They were all real lives. It was because of the unwillingness of the owners that they condensed into nightmares and generated demonic energy. With the resentment of the owners, they tried to get rid of those people with bad thoughts and evil intentions. Obviously, Su Zian was the one they wanted to get rid of.

Su Zian thought he would die there, but when he opened his eyes, he was back outside the stone gate. If it weren’t for the black and blue color on his chest and the pain, and the faint breath in his body that repelled the true energy, he would really think that everything was a dream and he would be fine after waking up.

What’s worse is that Su Zian thought he would be fine after leaving the secret realm, but he dreamed every day and the contents of the dreams were still those desperate lives. At the same time, the demonic energy in his body was gradually becoming stronger. If this continued, there would be a day when he would no longer be able to hide it, and Qin Yu’s words that he should be executed seemed to still echo in his ears.

Su Zian, who was getting more and more desperate, stayed in the confinement room where not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate, curling up helplessly, “What should I do, Master?”

Outside the confinement room, someone came, walking under the moonlight. Before entering, he noticed a small thing outside the door. After leaning over and catching it, the person narrowed his eyes slightly, then moved his fingers and the fluorescent insect turned into powder and disappeared with the wind, leaving only a faint fragrance.

In the cold peak, Qin Yu, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes instantly. He picked up the natal sword at hand, looked at the cold sword body and muttered to himself, “He really treats me well.”
