A few young men and women who had burst in stood there dumbfounded at the scene before them. The handsome celestial-like man who had become the talk of the town at Fairy Peak yesterday was now sitting sideways on another man’s lap. His face wasn’t visible, but his distinctive silver hair was unmistakable—cold yet dazzling. They could clearly see this cool and beautiful man being tightly embraced and passionately kissed by the man in black.
“Ah!” Two of the girls couldn’t help but scream, then hurriedly covered their mouths. Their wide eyes were filled with shock and something breaking inside. The male disciples were also stunned. For some reason, their first reaction to this shocking scene was to gulp unconsciously.
Han Zhiyuan feigned surprise, then pulled the softened body he had been kissing into his arms, even pressing down on the noble head of the Peacock King, forcing his face into his chest. He then looked angrily at the people at the door.
“What are you doing here? Don’t you know it’s rude to barge in without knocking?”
“We… we… um…” The group of inexperienced youngsters, especially seeing two men… They stuttered.
Finally, an older one stepped forward and apologized, “Sorry, it’s an emergency. We didn’t mean to disturb you… cough cough, please continue.”
The others felt various degrees of embarrassment, but Han Zhiyuan frowned and said, “What’s going on outside that’s so noisy?”
The man eagerly took the chance to defuse the awkward situation. “A shameless scoundrel sneaked into the Sacred Maiden Hall and then barged into the Fairy Lake. The fairies were frightened, and everyone is furious. Such a beast deserves to be executed.”
Han Zhiyuan’s heart skipped a beat. He was about to speak when the person in his arms seemed about to get up in anger. Han Zhiyuan quickly pressed him back down, thinking to himself that he had already offended every man on the Nine Heavens Continent for this bird king. Out loud, he feigned shock, “Really? Who’s so bold?”
Just then, a sharp pain shot through his waist, and Han Zhiyuan almost cried out. Damn it, the bird king pinched him. If it weren’t for you, would I have to lie like this?
“That person has considerable skill and is extremely fast, possibly able to fly and escape. It’s said he was dressed in white. We saw a white figure and chased it here. It seems we were mistaken. Sorry to disturb you. Please continue.” The man quickly backed out, while the girls lingered, looking at the Peacock King in Han Zhiyuan’s arms with subtle expressions.
As soon as they left, the head in Han Zhiyuan’s arms lifted. Feng Yu glared at him with his light red eyes from just ten centimeters away. Han Zhiyuan could see his eyes, his eyelashes, his entire face clearly. The bird king was indeed breathtakingly beautiful.
However, the disdain in Feng Yu’s eyes annoyed Han Zhiyuan, as if mocking him for being cowardly. Han Zhiyuan thought, “All this for you, and I’ve become the enemy of all men…”
“Sit comfortably? Get up already!” Han Zhiyuan coughed awkwardly. The bird king was really casual, not caring about his dignity.
Feng Yu’s eyes narrowed, staring at Han Zhiyuan, and then he said something that didn’t match his cold demeanor, “Why stop?”
“Mm?”
“Just now… like last night. I want it.” Feng Yu’s straightforwardness was surprising, showing no embarrassment.
Han Zhiyuan almost bit his tongue. This bird king was really… “How did you spend the last thousand years?” From their two encounters, it was clear that Feng Yu was inexperienced.
Feng Yu leaned into Han Zhiyuan’s embrace. “I don’t know.”
Han Zhiyuan kissed his lips. “Don’t you think this is abnormal?” He thought Feng Yu should find a woman. Imagining that, Han Zhiyuan felt strangely uncomfortable.
“Mm?” Feng Yu’s half-closed eyes opened slightly, looking at Han Zhiyuan with a hint of confusion. “Why abnormal? It’s very comfortable.”
Han Zhiyuan laughed. So, he was a hedonist. He wondered if Feng Yu would still think of him if he liked someone else in the future.
Han Zhiyuan decided to carry him to bed. After causing trouble at Fairy Peak and with the seal still intact, they had a long way to go… It’s better to enjoy the moment.
After their “meal,” Han Zhiyuan lazily held the Peacock King, who was still recovering, and stared at the ceiling, pondering life.
Since the Peacock King didn’t like the Sacred Maiden, could it be because she was human? He noticed that beasts didn’t have a high regard for humans. So, maybe Feng Yu liked another beast, like a female peacock. Or could it be he liked men but didn’t realize it?
Han Zhiyuan looked at Feng Yu, who was breathing lightly in his arms, his long eyelashes, red lips, and thought, “Do you like men?”
Han Zhiyuan blurted out, then met those stunning light red eyes.
“Men?” Feng Yu frowned. Human men were despicable, whether hypocrites or scoundrels, and he hated them all. His eyes showed disgust. “No, I don’t!”
Han Zhiyuan: …
“Say that again with your hand on your heart! Considering the past two nights, I wasn’t forcing you!”
Han Zhiyuan sighed. Maybe considering a female beast was more realistic. “Who’s the most beautiful in your clan?” he asked, staring at the ceiling.
Immediately, he felt a strong resentment and anger. Han Zhiyuan turned and met Feng Yu’s angry red eyes.
After a moment, Feng Yu coldly said, “Me!”
Han Zhiyuan was speechless: …
Indeed, they had a long way to go. “Isn’t there any loosening of your seal?” he asked.
Feng Yu looked at him and said, “No.” In fact, it seemed a bit looser, but for some reason, he didn’t say that.
“Sigh~” Han Zhiyuan sighed, running his fingers through the silver hair on his chest. “Looks like I have to go to your clan.”
Feng Yu’s eyes flashed with a strange light, though even he didn’t notice it.
Han Zhiyuan was troubled. They had caused a big mess at Fairy Peak. Although the others only saw a white figure, and he was in black, they couldn’t stay here long. If the powerful ones from the Luoshui Sacred Land got involved, they might get caught.
Tomorrow was the Sacred Land battle. Leaving before that would raise suspicion. But the longer they stayed, the more dangerous it was… It was a vicious cycle.
“You’ve really gotten me into trouble,” Han Zhiyuan sighed. If a fight broke out, he would be the first to be obliterated. He wasn’t worried about the one in his arms.
“Mm?” Feng Yu looked up, puzzled. His cold eyes had changed a bit.
“Let’s sleep,” Han Zhiyuan said. They could only hope for the best.
However, things turned out worse than Han Zhiyuan expected. Offending the fairies was punishable by death.
The next day, Luoshui Sacred Land was furious, disregarding the other Sacred Lands’ faces, sealing off Fairy Peak, and postponing the battle. They announced that they wouldn’t rest until the perpetrator was found and destroyed.
The other Sacred Lands were unhappy but remained silent. Everyone knew Fairy Peak had no men, so the culprit was clearly from one of the Sacred Lands. If it was from their land, it would be a disgrace and a matter of life and death.
Han Zhiyuan and Feng Yu exchanged worried glances. The Luoshui Sacred Land’s investigation would soon reach them, as they had joined midway with connections. Han Zhiyuan glared at Feng Yu. Why wear white at night?
