Wu Ruo stretched his foot out and braced it against Hei Xuanyi’s chest, embarrassed and angry: “Hei Xuanyi, where are you looking at? Is there an injury there?”
Hei Xuanyi looked at the body that was flushed red throughout because of embarrassment, his gaze was profound, and he said hoarsely: “There is.”
“Where?” Wu Ruo paused, if there was an injury on his body, how could it be possible that he didn’t feel pain?
Hei Xuanyi grabbed the jade-like foot against his chest, raised it upwards, then afterward, his gaze shifted down slightly from Little Ruoruo1He’s looking at Wu Ruo’s asshole..
Wu Ruo blinked his eyes, and very quickly understood where Hei Xuanyi was referring to: “Hei. Xuan. Yi. You big pervert!”
He kicked Hei Xuanyi away with a reddened face, flipped around and wanted to get up, but the person behind him held him in place. Following that, his white and tender buttocks were bitten.
“You…!” Wu Ruo’s eyes widened in thunderous shock, he quickly flipped around and glared at the man who was pressing towards him.
Hei Xuanyi very quickly sucked on Wu Ruo’s lips, and said severely toward the person who was pushing his head away: “Don’t fool around.”
Wu Ruo glared at him: “Who’s fooling around with you? You bit my buttocks, then you kissed me on the mouth, aren’t you dirty?”
“Not dirty.” Hei Xuanyi took out a wound medicine and carefully applied it onto Wu Ruo’s forehead injury: “Next time, don’t let yourself get hurt. If you want to kill someone, I’ll do it2解决 (jie jue): more accurately, Hei Xuanyi says he’ll ‘solve it/deal with it’ for Wu Ruo. I leave this note because Wu Ruo uses the same term in his next dialogue, but it was hard for me to figure out how to use the same term in English. for you.”
If he hadn’t promised Wu Ruo beforehand that he wouldn’t interfere, otherwise, how could those people have hurt Wu Ruo even in the slightest?
Wu Ruo smiled as he watched Hei Xuanyi: “How boring would that be? If the person is already dealt with3The same term jie jue that Hei Xuanyi used in the previous dialogue. by you, then what would I do?”
“You just have to tell me who you want to kill and how you want to kill them.”
Wu Ruo’s smile widened by several degrees: “What if I said I wanted you to kill Wu Chenzi?”
Abruptly, Hei Xuanyi stood up and walked towards the exit.
Wu Ruo was stunned: “Where are you going?”
“To kill Wu Chenzi.”
“Ah?” Wu Ruo was a little dazed, but he hurriedly got up and jumped onto Hei Xuanyi’s back: “I was just joking, but you really took it seriously? You’re not allowed to go, and you can’t go, I can deal with them by myself.”
Hei Xuanyi’s footsteps came to a stop, and put his hands behind him to hold onto the person on his back securely.
At this moment, a doubtful voice came from outside the window: “Dage, dasao, what are you doing?”
Hei Xuanyi and Wu Ruo turned their heads to look out the window, Hei Xuantang was looking at the both of them with a perplexed expression.
Wu Ruo blinked. Suddenly, he realized that he wasn’t wearing clothes, then he urgently yelled: “Hei Xuanyi, beat him up!”
Hei Xuanyi also realized that Wu Ruo wasn’t wearing clothes. His expression darkened, with a wave of his hand, a gust of qi swiftly and fiercely shot out. In that instance, Hei Xuantang cried out wretchedly and was sent flying back a few zhang. With a ‘pu tong‘ noise, he fell into the lake4Not a literal massive lake or anything, but probably a water feature within the Hei Manor. It’s likely not small enough to be called a pond, so it’s still referred to as a lake..
Wu Ruo: “…”
That was his own blood-related little brother — Savage5够狠 (gou hen): more literally translates as ‘vicious enough’. In this context, it’s kind of like when you say a sick burn and someone’s like ‘ooo, savage!’ in response.!
Hei Xuantang wriggled his way out of the lake and said, aggrieved and indignant: “I only came over to ask you about the banquet and was immediately sent flying. Who did I offend?”
Someone responded: “Who told you to take a look at furen‘s bare body?”
Following that, Hei Gan emerged from the darkness.
“How would I know that they would be so full of vitality right after coming back…?” Hei Xuantang looked at Hei Gan, wanting to cry but having no tears. Then he thought about it and said: “Something’s not right, how did you know that I saw dasao‘s naked body? Unless you also saw— gulu6Onomatopoeia for gurgling noises.—”
Hei Gan directly pressed the person back into the water.
Inside the building, Wu Ruo was so angered that he bit onto Hei Xuanyi’s shoulder: “It’s all your fault! You made me lose all my face!”
Hei Xuanyi put the person back on the bed with a sullen expression, then he closed the windows. When he turned back, Wu Ruo had already put on his undershirt and underpants.
“I’m hungry.” Wu Ruo stood up and embraced the man who walked over: “I want to eat a meal.”
Hei Xuanyi helped him to put on his outer robes, carried the person out to the main hall, then he instructed Shi Yuan and the others to serve up supper.
“Today, it was such a waste to gift such an extravagant gift and yet not be able to eat anything. It’s really such a loss. Oh, right,” Wu Ruo used his foot to kick Hei Xuanyi: “Hei Xuanyi, get someone to tail Wu Yu. I suspect that my dage‘s disappearance has something to do with him.”
Hearing this, Hei Xuanyi lifted his head up and said towards the exterior of the building: “Heard that?”
“This subordinate understands.”
Wu Ruo looked towards the entrance and saw Hei Yin’s silhouette disappear in a flash: “He’s always following us around?”
“Hn.”
Wu Ruo said curiously: “He was also with us at the Wu estate?”
“He went, but he can’t appear in front of people with spiritual energy of levels 7 and above. Otherwise, even if he conceals his body, he would still be discovered.”
Wu Ruo frowned: “Level 7 spiritual energy…”
In his previous lifetime, he had spent six to seven years but only rose to level 6 spiritual energy. In this lifetime, he might be able to do so in a shorter period of time, but that would still be in many years’ time. From tomorrow onward, he really had to cultivate properly, no, in a little while’s time onward, he would have to cultivate properly.
After Wu Ruo finished his meal and showered, he abandoned Hei Xuanyi to a side and sat cross legged to meditate.
The following day after breakfast, a bodyguard came to report saying that Wu Yuxue was requesting to visit. However, Hei Xuanyi commanded that she was not allowed to enter.
Wu Yuxue could only hand the letter and medicine box over to the bodyguard, instructing the bodyguard to deliver it to Hei Xuanyi. However, it was delivered into Wu Ruo’s hands.
Wu Ruo opened the letter on the spot and read it, laughing coldly: “On one hand, Wu Yuxue plotted to harm us, on the other hand, she wants to act the part of a good person and perform favourably in front of you. She even asked you to meet her and let her into the manor to take a look at my injuries, on account of how she spoke up for us yesterday. Casanova Hei, your charm is truly tremendous. Speaking of which, do you even know that she fancies you?”
Hei Xuanyi frowned, obviously unaware of this matter: “No need to bother with her.”
Wu Ruo opened the medicine box and took a sniff. It was high grade spiritual wound balm7The medicine was either cultivated or imbued with spiritual energy, so it’s most likely more effective than regular wound balm.: “Hmph, in order to please you, she was quite generous.”
Hei Xuantang shifted his chair next to Wu Ruo: “Dasao, do you smell that?”
Wu Ruo sniffed: “Smell what? The smell of medicine?”
Hei Xuantang said slyly: “It’s the smell of vinegar. On top of that, it’s coming off of you.”
Wu Ruo was dazed, then he realized that Hei Xuantang was saying that he was jealous. He rolled his eyes at Hei Xuantang irritatedly.
Hei Xuantang giggled and stood up, walking out of the main hall: “I’ll go visit my little nephew!”
Wu Ruo looked at Hei Xuanyi: “Did you know that Ji Xi is teaching Dandan the magicks of the Mo people?”
“I know. Is there a problem?” Hei Xuanyi took the medicine box from Wu Ruo’s hands and instructed a servant to throw it away.
Wu Ruo was curious: “Aren’t you against him learning the magicks of the Mo?”
Hei Xuanyi asked him: “Why would I?”
“Us people of Tianxing are very biased against the Mo, Gui, and Yao. If someone learns the magicks of another people, they will definitely be seen as a pariah and they won’t be accepted by others.”
“There’s no such thing in our clan. To people in our clan, as long as you aren’t learning other magicks to harm our own people, it’s fine to learn whatever you want. After all, it’s not everybody who can learn other peoples’ magicks, or two or more types of magicks.”
Wu Ruo thought about it and agreed, then he looked him in the eye and said: “Hei Xuanyi, you’re not a native from our Tianxing, right?”
“Hn.” Hei Xuanyi didn’t hide it from him: “Our people come from the other end of the seas.”
Wu Ruo’s eyes lit up: “Then tell me about what it’s like over there?”
Hei Xuanyi frowned: “I think, before you arrive at our clan and personally experience it for yourself, it’s best not to tell you about these things.”
“So it’s not because you’re unwilling to tell me, is that right?”
Hei Xuanyi nodded.
“Alright then.” As long as it wasn’t because Hei Xuanyi was unwilling to tell him about it, Wu Ruo was able to accept any other reason.
In the following months, Wu Ruo was always in the manor ‘recovering’ from his injuries, and Hei Xuanyi received a letter and medication from Wu Yuxue every day. However, Hei Xuanyi would always throw it away without looking at it.
Wu Ruo was quite in awe of Wu Yuxue. She had become impatient, having not received a response. Otherwise, her actions wouldn’t have gone from being someone with good intentions to the point of becoming someone who was boldly pursuing a man who was already married with a husband. Her letters had gone from simple greetings to love poems that revealed her core. There was no trace of any shame; it was clear she had already thrown her haughty self-respect to the ground.
It was even to the point that on the seventh day after the banquet, Wu Yuxue used a piece of equipment to fly into Hei Manor. Wu Ruo who had just finished cultivating and was lying down in the bedroom, watching Hei Xuanyi practice his jian in the garden outside, watched with his mouth hanging open as Wu Yuxue descended from the skies like a celestial.
“Xuanyi.” The moment Wu Yuxue landed on the ground, she rushed straight toward Hei Xuanyi.
Hei Xuanyi’s expression darkened and he didn’t keep his jian, he immediately stabbed his long jian forth and cut off a bundle of Wu Yuxue’s hair.
Wu Yuxue didn’t mind either. After she saw Wu Ruo, who was inside the room, she boldly threw herself at Hei Xuanyi and presented her red lips forth.
Wu Ruo was shocked to his feet.
Hei Xuanyi blocked Wu Yuxue’s lips with one hand, and viciously smacked his other hand against Wu Yuxue’s chest.
With a ‘pu‘ noise, Wu Yuxue spewed a mouthful of blood, flying away like a kite with its strings cut.
Hei Xuanyi said with cold fury: “Throw this shameless woman out!”
“Yes, sir.” The guards keeping watch by the entrance of their quarters speedily ran in. As if carrying a dead pig, they carelessly moved Wu Yuxue to the main entrance and viciously threw her out.
Zhi Tao watched her family’s young mistress being pathetically thrown out and cried in shock: “Young Mistress, Young Mistress, are you alright? Young Master Lan, come quick and look, Young Mistress looks like she won’t be able to make it!”
Wu Yanlan, who had been waiting around in the horse carriage without coming down, hurriedly scrambled out from the carriage, and saw Wu Yuxue who had blood dripping from her mouth. He hurriedly carried her into the carriage and fed her some wound medicine: “Xiaogugu, are you alright?”
Wu Yuxue had no reaction.
Wu Yanlan anxiously said: “Hurry back to the Wu Estate and summon a physician!”
Zhi Tao cried as she said: “Young Master Lan, didn’t you say that by being shameless with her body, Young Mistress would be able to win Young Master Hei’s heart?”
Wu Yanlan said angrily: “I was just joking around, who knew that xiaogugu would take it seriously?”
Two days ago, Wu Yuxue deliberately made a trip over to Wu Yanlan to ask him about what kind of women men liked. So he had voiced his own opinions and said that not every man liked someone who was haughty and aloof like her; a woman who didn’t take others seriously. Marrying home a woman like that would simply be living hell, having to live every day according to her whims.
He liked maidens who would take a little bit more of an initiative, who dared to express their affection for their own husband to know. Who would’ve thought that after listening, Wu Yuxue would take it seriously. Every day, she either wrote a love poem or ran over to that person’s manor. Now she had gone and done it; she had even been wounded by that person and thrown out of their manor. She had simply thrown away all the face of the Wu estate, how would he explain things to his great-grandfather now?
“Does xiaogugu really like Hei Xuanyi that much? Does this entire world not have any other men anymore?”
Zhi Tao cried and said: “Other men don’t deserve our young mistress!”
“So Hei Xuanyi deserves her? Who knows what kind of person this Hei Xuanyi is! What if he’s some kind of useless wastrel? Would xiaogugu still like him?”
“At least that face is deserving.”
Wu Yanlan was gloomy: “Shallow.”
Zhi Tao mustered her courage and refuted him: “Young Master Lan, aren’t you shallow as well? If you had to marry a maiden with abundant spiritual energy, but had extremely ugly appearances, would you be willing?”
Wu Yanlan: “…”
