With messy bed hair, Wang Xiao Mie sat up with his eyes closed. He reached outside the coffin and felt for the ringing phone. Once he touched the vibrating phone, a small slit opened between his eyelids and he accurately pressed the green button.
āHello,ā Wang Xiao Mie said lazily after a long yawn, āWho is it?ā
Lei Jie on the other smiled at his listlessness and said, āItās me, Lei Jie, I ā¦ā
A pair of moist and red lips got close to the phone. To be exact, it was approaching Wang Xiao Mieās ears. Its owner, still in a lethargic state, leaned his chin on Wang Xiao Mieās shoulder and hugged him. His silver hair flowed down and covered them both.
āWho is it? Shixiongā¦ā As though the husky and magnetic voice carried an electric current that could course through the phone, transferring the manās sexiness and hormones right to the listenersā ears and into their brainsā¦
Even someone like Lei Jie felt a jolt and had to shift the phone from her left to her right. She rubbed her ears and her cheek turned slightly pink.
āCough,Ā did I disturb anything?ā
āUm? No.ā Wang Xiao Mie did not get her question. He took a look at his phone, āItās already half-past six, weāll be up in a minute.ā
Wang Xiao Mie was oblivious but Wen Feng Jin was well aware.
He slowly puckered his lips and deliberately clamped onto Wang Xiao Mieās ears.
Slurp
Right next to the phone and earlobe, the sucking sound was infinitely amplified.
Wang Xiao Mie froze while Lei Jie rubbed the tip of her nose awkwardly. Why would you let this old lady who has been single for over thirty years hear these things? Curse you pair of male lovebirds!
āStop messing around!ā Wang Xiao Mie blushed and covered his ear. He gave the man leaning against the coffin full of smiles a warning to stay away.
The man closed his eyes and snickered. The low laughter made Wang Xiao Mie annoyed. He turned his back to him and continued to talk on the phone. Wen Feng Jin snorted and kept looking at him with hungry eyes.
Itās been quite some time since they last did it.
Wen Feng Jin rested his elbow on the edge of the coffin and placed his chin over his hand. His chest was fully exposed under the loose clothing and the silver locks were spread out over the red drabs of the coffin. A mind-numbing beauty but unfortunately, his target did not appreciate it at all.

āLei Jie, did you want to tell us something?ā Wang Xiao Mie asked.
Lei Jie took some time to digest the dog food then said, āZhen Bei was sentenced to death and was executed yesterday.ā
Wang Xiao Mie was shocked. His sleepiness disappeared instantly. At the mention of Zhen Bei, Wang Xiao Mie could still remember his cheerful face and twisted personality.
āā¦En. I see.ā
āThe Zhen family is now a mess. Zhen Hao was killed by Zhen Bei and Zhen Bei was sent to jail. Thereās only Zhen Mu left which puts everyone in a complicated mood. When Madame Zhen heard that Zhen Hao was gone, she went mad and even accused Zhen Mu of being the killer and wanted him locked up as well.ā
Lei Jie remembered the scene where Zhen Mu was kneeling on the ground crying when Zhen Bei was being executed.
Aside from raising a brainless son like Zhen Hao, they raised a vile being like Zhen Bei. And now they wanted to send away the only decent son they had.
āThe Zhen family is just a bunch of idiots!ā Lei Jie cursed, āDamn that stupid woman!ā
Wang Xiao Mie was speechless at the news.Ā Whatās with spoiling your eldest son while suppressing your two other sons?
Itās indeed āthe same rice that feeds all kinds of peopleā.
( TN : äøę ·ē±³å »ē¾ę ·äŗŗ A proverb meaning we could eat the same thing but would turn into very different people)
āWhat happened next?ā Wang Xiao Mie frowned and asked.
Lei Jie sighed and said, āIām somewhat close to Zhen Mu. When those crazy people become unscrupulous, of course I have to step in. But then everyone knew that I, Xiao Lou, and Zhen Mu were the only ones who had survived. This could be a little troublesome even for meā¦ā
Before Wang Xiao Mie could say anything, Lei Jie laughed and said, āBut donāt worry, Iām not afraid of anyone! All these years tempered by hardships, Iām not some pushover! Xiao Lou and I are resting in a friendās resort. With the Liao Yue sword by my side, Iām now satisfied. I could always do something else to earn a livingā¦ Oh thatās right!ā
āIāve sold most of the things you had handed to me through the auctions. My lord, you donāt know how much money they have fetched. Just your teacup alone is enough for me to live in luxury for ten years.ā
Wang Xiao Mie thought of the balance in his card and laughed.
Iām now a wealthy man. Heh heheheā¦
Lei Jie was happy to hear his laughter. She just could not see Wang Xiao Mie as a big dumpling from a mausoleum. To her, he was almost like a child at home whom she couldnāt help but want to give his head a rub.
āOne more thing, regarding the weapon you told me to research, the one that Zhen Bei used, I have some leads.ā
āHa?!ā Wang Xiao Mie quickly asked, āYou know who made it?ā
āYes. Weapons of that kind appeared twenty years ago. Those who went underground would equip themselves with it. The person who made it is named Bai Cheng. But then those weapons and Bai Cheng suddenly disappeared and it was there that I couldnāt find any further information.ā
āIs that soā¦ā It seemed that those weapons were specially made to work against people like Wen Feng Jin and himself. Wang Xiao Mie wasnāt sure if he was overthinking but there was always a feeling of unrest lurking in his head.
Now that the trace was lost and even Lei Jie could not find anything else.
Lei Jie comforted Wang Xiao Mie and he smiled, āI might be worried for nothing. By the way, Lei Jie, after the storm has passed, can I trouble you again?ā
Lei Jie sniggered, āWhatās there to trouble? Just tell me what you need!ā
Wang Xiao Mieās eyes softened, āI want to build a temple on that mountainā¦ The cost does not matter. And the name of the temple is Xuan Feng.ā
Back then, the place he transmigrated to was Xuan Feng Academy. The saplings that he planted and the children he had taught were all deeply imprinted in his memories.
He hated the Academy but not everyone in it.
Wen Feng Jinās anger and despair that year had made him lose all kindness and tolerance, resulting in the merciless massacre of Xuan Feng Academyā¦
Even though Wen Feng Jin was smiling more frequently and a lot more gentle now, Wang Xiao Mie could still see through him after he had recovered his memories. Those smiles and kindness were all a show for him, like fulfilling a task in a game.
Wang Xiao Mie did not like killing so Wen Feng Jin sheathed his sword and changed himself. Wang Xiao Mie wanted an ordinary life so Wen Feng Jin willingly stayed above ground to accompany him, whether it was for a simple meal or a daily trip to the supermarketā¦
But Wang Xiao Mie was certain, if he were to die, Wen Feng Jin would reveal a whole different face.
Wen Feng Jin did not change, he just got used to disguising himself. Wang Xiao Mieās death and rejection a thousand years ago had left him in irreparable despair. Now, it had turned into an instinct for him to be the perfect person in front of Wang Xiao Mie.
Iām the flawless replica of what you want, you can only choose me.
Wen Feng Jinās love was exclusive, possessive and lustful, multiplied by countless times.
Saving people and abiding by the law were choices Wen Feng Jin had made just to please Wang Xiao Mie, just like playing a strategy game.
Outside the game, Wen Feng Jin was still the same cold and indifferent person whose smile was as scarce as henās teeth.
Wang Xiao Mie turned and looked at the man smiling at him devilishly.
Itās not that he hated itā¦ Itās just a little tricky.
After exchanging a few more words with Lei Jie, Wang Xiao Mie hung up.
The man with the medicinal scent lunged over. Silver hair overlaid the black ones as soft lips came crashing together. The hand holding the cell phone was caught and the fingers intertwinedā¦
After the kiss, Wen Feng Jin put the gasping Wang Xiao Mie in his embrace and kissed his hair.
āI kind of want to do it.ā
āNo way. Thereās someone downstairs, have you forgotten?ā
āā¦..ā
āTsk.ā
āā¦..Quickly get up.ā
Wang Xiao Mie got out of the coffin and Wen Feng Jin helped him to dress before buttoning up his own clothes that he had loosened up from before.
He had heard that Wang Xiao Mie wanted to build a temple on the site of the former Xuan Feng Academy but he did not care.
Cold fingers carefully buckled up Wang Xiao Mieās beltā¦
He had no time to remember the dead.

Downstairs, Baiyu was already up. He had wrapped himself in a blanket and was sitting on the sofa.
He wanted to leaveā¦ But there was probably someone outside waiting for him.
To stayā¦ There were two people of an unspeakable species who slept in a coffin.
āWhy is life so hard?!āĀ Baiyu was shedding tears internally but before he was done with his self-pity, he could hear footsteps coming from upstairs. Baiyuās hair stood on end as he stared at the two coming down.
āOh, youāre awake.ā Wang Xiao Mie gave him a casual greeting then went straight to the bathroom. Wen Feng Jin followed right behind.
Baiyu, who thought that they would do something to him, was staring at them wide-eyed.Ā āThatās it? Donāt you want to shut me up? Not even a threat?ā
Baiyu continued to stare at them even after Wang Xiao Mie came out of the bathroom and entered the kitchen.
āYouā¦ā Baiyu raised his hands warily. āYouāre just gonna let me go just like that?ā
Wang Xiao Mie who was preparing breakfast looked at him curiously, āOr else?ā
Baiyu: āā¦.. At least threaten me a little. What if I expose your existence?!ā
Before Wang Xiao Mie could say anything, Wen Feng Jin put down the bowl in his hand. He glanced at him and sneered.
Baiyu immediately shrunk back his neck.
āAh, I see.ā From that reaction alone, Baiyu could feel countless knives called irony stabbing at his heart.
