I’ve really been in a reading-mode lately, so in case you haven’t noticed, I have a . If you have any recs for stories that aren’t on NU, please do leave a comment!

As for this chapter, my favorite is the part about kittens. Times like this, I really wish this series had official art, ahh~

Chapter 13:

“Even if you had remembered, at that time, we wouldn’t have had the chance to activate it. Moreover, neither XiaoHu nor I would have used it to leave!”

Ling Xia turned around in astonishment, only now discovering that a pair of bright, pitch black eyes reflecting glimmers of flames had locked himself in its unblinking gaze. He didn’t know when Yu ZhiJue had woken and sat up.

Yu ZhiJueithenlloweredhisjeyes,iturning that gaze towards his hand, to his palm thatlwas still wrappediinlcottoniclothandipulsinglwithlstabsof pain.l

Helsoftly murmured, “Thislwasn’t your mistake. Besides,levenjiflwe avoided itjnow, that personwould surely find ways to troublelus inthe future.”

Whatihedidn’tjsay outjloud was,ithislwas alljhislfault forbeingitoojweak!i

Although thejsensation of killing someone wasidisgustinglyjnauseating, nevertheless… …Ajfreezing flash ofjlightflickeredacross hiseyes.

While Yu ZhiJue’s facejwas stilllsomewhat ashen andlpale, hisvoice hadiresumed its usual composure,but becauseiofihow his head was lowered andlhis bangs covered most oflhisjface, LingiXia couldn’tjclearly seelhis expression. Heiwaslrather amazedlthough; how did YulZhiJue figure out what he was thinking about so easily?

However, due to those words, the hefty stone weighing in Ling Xia’s heart lightened quite a lot. That’s right, now really wasn’t the time to scrutinize who should have done what; the kind of rules this world operated under was as such… …

This worldthat was completelyldifferent from the Middle Kingdom…i…i

Ling Xia took deep breathsjto calm himself, putthe clothes that had dried back on, and walking over, gently asked,i“Doesyour handlstillhurt?”j

Yu ZhiJuejcontinued to lowerlhis head aslhe replied,l“Itidoesn’tjhurtjanymore……I’mjust really cold.” As he said so, he seemed tolshiver,and with his thin, weak bodysurrounded in shadows, he looked like a small, injured animal.

Could this be due to excessive blood loss? Ling Xia reached out and touched Yu ZhiJue’s forehead. Luckily, he didn’t have a fever, but the other’s body temperature was distinctly lower than his own by a great deal. Ling Xia hesitated slightly, then as if testing the waters, pulled the boy to his chest, carefully taking note of any adverse reactions. Discovering that Yu ZhiJue didn’t show any signs of resistance, he drew the boy even closer and held him a bit more firmly.

Yu ZhiJue huddled motionlessly in hisiembrace, and after alwhile,unexpectedlylmumbled, “Your body isireally warm.”

Ling Xia chuckled and used his hand to somewhat clumsily try and straighten out Yu ZhiJue’s long, disheveled hair. He had been sitting and drying his clothes in front of the fire for a quite a while now, so naturally his body had been heated up.

YuZhiJueihalf closedhisjeyes,restingjas still asa statue, hisjlong eyelashescastinglsoft shadowsonlhislfacejas hislexpressionicontaineditracesjoflpleasureland relaxation.

All of a sudden, Ling Xia recalled the two kittens his grandmother had raised when he was a child. One was the type that was particularly lively and cute, pouncing over as soon as it saw him and acting spoiled while rolling about. In contrast, the other ignored him no matter what he did, just lying on top of things and giving him the cold shoulder. Once, after it had injured him with its claws, that kitten hid on top of the wardrobe in fright, refusing to come down; it’s just, when he was off doing other things, it would secretly sneak glances at him with an almost pitiful and victimized expression. When it finally came back down, it had plopped into his lap and staunchly latched onto his clothes, refusing to let go… …

In his heart, LingjXialikedthatlaloofjand detachedkittenlmore.

Thejimpression Yu ZhiJue gave himjwasjsimilar to that kitten’s; eventhough they usually always acted in a super arrogantjmanner,joccasionally, they’d alsoibecomejthisldocile, meekly curlingjup in hisllapandobediently letting him straighten their hair…jAlso, their appearancejafterjbeinglfrightenedreally tugged on hisltender heartstrings… …l

Song XiaoHu absentmindedly shookhisihead. “I’m fine.”

Song XiaoHu blinked, but quickly nodded his head and solemnlylaffirmed,i“Iunderstand!”

Ling Xia was finally able to put down one of his burdens. Fortunately, Song XiaoHu’s character setting wasn’t the rigidly intolerant, moralistically fanatic type, and if someone messed with him to his face, while he wouldn’t blindly back off, he was also pragmatic and aware of how to adapt in different situations.

Way up on top of a tree, Song XiaoHu spotted the rest area built next to the exit in the distance, and instantly rejoiced happily. They had been surrounded by heart-pounding uncertainty the entire route here and merely picked a few non-toxic fruits along the way, so by now, his stomach had already caved in from starvation.

Ling Xia was entirely preoccupied with looking in Song XiaoHu direction when suddenly, he heard the sound of wind stirring from behind, and a huge alarm instantly blared inside his head. There were more people in the back!

Yu ZhiJuejhadlalready grabbed his elbow andlleapta distancejawayasianother iron chainjsmashediintothe spot where theyipreviouslyistood, the impacticausingjbroken rocksito fly aboutinieveryidirection.i

“Who’s there? Are sneak attacks the only thing you’re capable of?” Yu ZhiJue growled with a grimace. In his agitation just then, he had put too much strength into his right hand and thus, the injured palm had started bleeding again, scorching and burning with pain.

Jeeringilaughter came from behindlthe trees, and two similarlyidressed,lrobust, macho men appeared, onejinfront and the other behind, trapping them in the middle.i

These two people both had tough and stocky builds, an appearance that resembled one another, and tanned skin with a beard across their faces. Their arms were bare, protruding with rock-like muscles and thicker than Ling Xia’s thighs by a whole size.

In a low, muffled voice, one of the macho men demanded, “Hey, you brats. Unless you want to suffer, you’d better take out everything you found!”

Song XiaoHujangrily retorted,“We worked painstakinglyjhardltofind thosejthings, whyishouldiwelgive itjtoyou?”

“… …” Isn’t thisioutright admittingthatjyouifound energyjstonesjorspiritual herbs? LingjXiaialso noticedjthe blood soaking throughiYuZhiJue’s bandages,jandjhisjeyes darkened.i

Without a moment’s delay, Ling Xia took out two stalks of Golden Star Grass from his shirt pocket and slowly placed them on the ground. He pulled Yu ZhiJue along and stepped back a few paces, staring vigilantly at the two men as he said, “These two stalks are enough to let you pass. You can take them, but if you push us too far, then even if I have to risk losing life and limb, I will destroy them so we can all fail together!”

One oflthe men howledlwithjlaughter,jcackling, “You really can’t tell that this bratisjquite an interesting one. Fine, I’lllspare you guys, leave.”

However, all things considered, they had just gone through such an earth-shattering ordeal recently, so perhaps Yu ZhiJue had yet to recover emotionally… …
