Chapter 21 – “Can You Come Over And Help Me Keep Warm?”
Who could say no to that?
Anyway, Gu Jianshen couldn’t refuse.
His eyes turned red, and his smile spoke volumes. “It’s a great honor.”
Shen Qingxian got up and said, “Thank you.”
Gu Jianshen lifted his fingers and placed the two beds together as one.
Although the room’s space was limited and the bed wasn’t that big when put together, Gu Jianshen was very calculating and arranged the bed quite beautifully.
Of course, it was “beautiful” in terms of the eyes of His Honorable Lordship.
Resplendent drapes hung down to the ground, and there was a red silk quilt with gold thread embroidered into it that glittered in the light.
Shen Qingxian stared at it for a long time.
Gu Jianshen said, “Has Shishu ever stayed in the mortal world?”
Shen Qingxian shook his head and said, “No.” When he was young, he actually had stayed in the mortal world, but the time was short. The scene of those several years there had been like a blink, and he had no memories left of it.
Gu Jianshen lowered his voice and said, “In the secular world, two people on their wedding night will sleep on a red quilt.”
With these words, Gu Jianshen wanted to tease Shen Qingxian, suggesting that they were like a newly married couple.
How could he expect that Shen Qingxian would not only eat his hint, but also say directly, “So that’s how it is. Then if we sleep on it, isn’t that the wedding night, where red waves are formed?”
Gu Jianshen’s heart leaped.
Before he could speak, Shen Qingxian’s lips curved up, and he said with a laugh, “But this bed is a bit too small, it can’t be a wedding bed.”
Implications dripped inside and outside his words.
Gu Jianshen looked at him without blinking, trying to see through to his mind from his expression.
But sadly, Shen Qingxian had lived for thousands of years, so really, no one could see through him.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Qingxian changed back into a child. He pulled at Gu Jianshen’s sleeve and said, “Let’s rest early ba.”
He looked up at him, and his eyes were clear, really like that of an innocent boy’s, clean and beautiful.
Gu Jianshen looked down at him, and after a long time, he finally said, “En.”
Saying that, he picked him up and carefully put him on the bed.
Shen Qingxian said again, “Help me undress.”
Gu Jianshen’s pupils contracted slightly, but he very soon calmed down and said, “Alright.”
Shen Qingxian sat primly and properly on the bed and motionlessly let Gu Jianshen serve him.
Gu Jianshen untied his outer robe and loosened his long hair.
His hair scattered, which made his small face more and more compact and exquisite.
He stared at Gu Jianshen, his tender lips raised slightly. “…Boots.”
Saying that, he raised his left leg slightly and motioned for Gu Jianshen to take off his boots.
As we said before, fortunately, the Heart Domain people weren’t here, otherwise, even if they had to risk their old lives they would have to fight Shen Qingxian. Damn black hearted lotus! You actually dare to insult our majesty like that!
But in fact… One was willing to hit, and the other was willing to suffer those blows. Their majesty had been flirted with until the fluttering in his heart was hard to bear, and only the descriptor  “perfectly satisfied” could be used to describe him as he performed the task.
Taking off his boots and socks, Gu Jianshen looked at the round little toes that were like jade and pearl and asked, “Is Shishu cold?”
When people reached their level of cultivation, no matter how cold or hot it was, they weren’t actually cold or hot, so asking this question was really just a joke.
But Shen Qingxian replied, “Cold.”
Gu Jianshen suddenly looked up.
Shen Qingxian said, “Can you come over and help me keep warm?”
Gu Jianshen held his ankle and pulled the whole person into his arms.
Shen Qingxian didn’t refuse at all, but snuggled up in his arms extremely obediently.
Gu Jianshen leaned close to him and whispered close to his ear, “Shishu, why don’t you change back to your original body.”
At present, the boy’s body was really young, and Gu Jianshen couldn’t do anything.
Shen Qingxian asked while clearly knowing the answer, “Why do you want me to change back?”
Gu Jianshen whispered, “It’ll be easier to keep you warm.”
Shen Qingxian said, “This bed is too small. If I switch back, it’ll be too crowded if we sleep together.”
Gu Jianshen: “……”
Shen Qingxian snuggled at the front of his chest and suppressed his smile as he said, “With a smaller body, you can also hold me more steadily.”
Gu Jianshen’s hand clasped on his waist suddenly gripped tighter.
Shen Qingxian said softly, “Alright, go to sleep ba.”
How could Gu Jianshen go to sleep?
He had flirted with him until he was ablaze, but then he went to sleep….
But Gu Jianshen couldn’t do anything to him. If it was someone else’s transformation, he could easily undo it, but with Shen Qingxian, if he insisted on undoing it, Meridian Temple would probably turn to ash.
If he didn’t undo it, this body was so young…..
He couldn’t do it.
Shen Qingxian was in an especially good mood and couldn’t even hold down the quirked corners of his mouth.
Although His Honorable Lordship had never been in love, even people who have never eaten pork have seen pigs running around. He still understood how to play cat and mouse.
Love tribulation wasn’t forcing desires; making love was nothing, the important thing was to evoke emotions.
With Gu Jianshen’s kind of Heart Domain demonic cultivation, desires were greater than emotions. If he really let him easily succeed, that would actually backfire.
He would go slowly; they had just started.
Before falling asleep, he looked at the jade scroll. Sure enough, the task of undressing and taking off his belt couldn’t be completed that easily. It seemed that he had to do it himself, and probably would have to take everything off.
A good night’s dream, en… It was Shen Qingxian who had a good night’s dream.
The next day, Shen Qingxian was refreshed. After eating, he said, “Let’s go and collect cowhides ba.”
Gu Jianshen naturally went along with him.
Like all traditional sects, Meridian Temple also had a forest behind its mountain.
Disciples who had just joined had received a hunting task, and they could look for prey outside, kill, then collect it.
Animals like cattle could be found in the periphery behind the mountain.
He had thought this kind of cow with excellent vision would be a great creature like the golden dragon, yet as a result….
Shen Qingxian looked disgusted. “This is a cow?”
Gu Jianshen smiled. “Yes.”
Shen Qingxian was silent and finally resisted saying the word “ugly.”
In fact, the cattle in Meridian Temple were very cute. After all, they had some spiritual qi and were also raised in a free range. They had big, watery, round eyes, and were so cute that they really did make it difficult for people to do anything to them.
But neither Shen Qingxian nor Gu Jianshen were soft hearted people.
This was the time new recruits had just entered, so many disciples had come to do the task. It seemed that many people had received the task to collect cowhides.
This task was really so insignificant for the two big bosses, but it wasn’t easy for the new disciples.
First of all, some of the cows were strong and ran especially fast, so it wasn’t easy to kill them.
In addition, the slow running cattle knew how to sell their cuteness. Once they blinked their big watery eyes and let out some wuwu sounds, there would probably be a little disciple that would want to set it free.
Compared with other people stumbling and fumbling around, Gu Jianshen moved neatly and extremely quickly.
Shen Qingxian didn’t have to do anything at all; Gu Jianshen could just lose a hair and finish everything.
Some little disciples couldn’t keep watching this. They were covered with blood and panting with fatigue, yet this guy hadn’t even got a speck of dust on him, but had gotten a whole cowhide. How infuriating!
WitnessingShen Qingxian sitting there drinking tea reasuredly with their own eyes, they began to jeer at him.
“What cultivation can a rich family’s young master practice? Just obediently enjoy staying at home.”
“Cultivation is to temper the body and sharpen the will. Telling your servant to do your tasks is really just child’s play!”
His Honorable Lordship, who had very good ears, naturally heard them clearly… Of course, even if he heard it, he had to pretend that he didn’t. It wasn’t like he could quarrel with these grand grand grand grand grand grand grand….this younger generation.
However, Shen Qingxian also didn’t want to bully the younger generation. There were fewer cattle than people here, and if this went on, they would finish the task quickly, but these young disciples would be left a little miserable.
In order to take care of the younger generation, Shen Qingxian called out to Gu Jianshen, “Let’s go further inside and have a look ba.”
Gu Jianshen smiled. “Alright.”
Poor Shen Qingxian sympathized with these little disciples, but these little disciples didn’t appreciate it. They whispered to one another, “He really doesn’t know the complexity of the universe, even going further inside to take a look. It’d be best if he goes and never returns!”
Shen Qingxian: “……”
Gu Jianshen said in a warm voice, “Let’s go ba, and find a place where no one is present.” Saying that, he picked up Shen Qingxian.
Very good, the whispers coming from behind now had more material. “God, he’s already that old and still lets someone pick him up and carry him, exactly which family’s precious young master is this?!”
Shen Qingxian: “……”
Gu Jianshen chuckled.
Shen Qingxian glared at him.
Gu Jianshen said, “That wasn’t intentional, it’s just become a habit.”
Shen Qingxian didn’t speak, but his arms still went around his neck.
Gu Jianshen stared at his white forehead and endured for a long time before stopping himself from kissing it.
As the two of them walked, their surroundings grew more wild. According to their position, they should have already passed through the safety zone and entered a more dangerous location.
Unfortunately, the two most dangerous people in the world were here, so no matter how dangerous a place was, it wasn’t really a threat to them.
They walked and walked, and Shen Qingxian suddenly said, “Just here ba.”
Gu Jianshen said, “Alright.”
Shen Qingxian said again, “Put me down.”
Gu Jianshen carefully put him down in a clean place.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Shen Qingxian returned to his adult body.
Gu Jianshen’s pupils contracted.
Shen Qingxian turned his head to the side and said in a slow voice, “This spiritual spring looks pretty good.”
Located at the end of his gaze was a natural spiritual spring, with gurgling spring water and dense spiritual qi; it was a wonderful place.
Gu Jianshen also saw it.
Shen Qingxian had already gone straight to it.
Passing by a large number of Fuluo leaves, the spiritual spring was leisurely and content underneath a haze of mist.
Gu Jianshen followed him, and his entire body froze with one glance. He couldn’t move even half an inch, seeming to have been nailed in place.
The man with his back to him raised his hand, his long sleeves slid down, revealing his pale forearms, which were like the softest beautiful jade. His fingers moved, untying the ribbon in his hair, and his ink-black hair slid down like a waterfall, straight down to his hips.
What made people’s blood expand was that he also undid his clothes. His glittering white clothes, like a thick fog melting into smoke, dispersed slowly, releasing glittering dew and delicate petals.
However… His body was softer than water, and his being was more beautiful than flowers.
Gu Jianshen looked at him without blinking and heard a vibration like a drum.
It was coming from his chest; it was his heartbeat.
