MJWCATFPITWOC Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Intimacy

The next second after saying those pretty words, Shen Yucheng felt a wave of dizziness and lost consciousness again, collapsing. Only then did Mo Yifeng notice the streak of blood at his nose.

The next day, when Shen Yucheng woke up, his body was unusually heavy, and he couldn’t move even when he tried to get up.

“Don’t move, you can’t get up for the time being.” A voice came from beside the bed.

Shen Yucheng recognized that it was the Immortal Doctor’s voice.

“I told you a long time ago not to use your spiritual power anymore. Now, all your internal injuries have rebounded. Fortunately, it’s not too serious, or you would have had to bid farewell to the path of cultivation for the rest of your life.”

After the Immortal Doctor finished speaking, he turned and reprimanded the person beside him, “And you! I told you to watch the patient, what did you do?”

Shen Yucheng didn’t need to look to know who was being scolded. Thinking of Mo Yifeng before he fainted, he subconsciously helped explain, “It’s my fault, don’t blame him.”

There was silence. Shen Yucheng couldn’t see everyone’s expressions and felt a pang of unease. Could it be that he had said something strange again?

After a moment, the Immortal Doctor sighed, “You just indulge him.”

“Yucheng-ge…” Mo Yifeng’s voice was not far away, sounding dejected.

Whether it was Shen Yucheng’s illusion or not, there was a hint of coquetry in his tone.

Shen Yucheng turned his head, thinking of the sword wounds on Mo Yifeng’s hands. Although he couldn’t see them, he had touched them. He asked the Immortal Doctor, “What about Mo Yifeng’s hand injuries…”

Before he could finish speaking, the Immortal Doctor impatiently said, “Take care of yourself first! That kid is as strong as a monster and is recovering faster than you!”

Shen Yucheng: “…”

Before leaving, the Immortal Doctor instructed, “But I have to remind you that your peculiar constitution formed by the fusion of the five spiritual roots in your body is now slightly more stable. Your spiritual power is no longer accumulating excessively, and instead, it can help you heal wounds quickly. As long as you lie down obediently for two days, your body will be almost recovered.”

Hearing this, Shen Yucheng finally obediently followed the doctor’s advice this time and quietly lay in bed to recuperate. However, Mo Yifeng no longer acted as a personal maid but became a proper wife.

Every time Shen Yucheng woke up, he would feel that the bed was unbearably crowded. Reaching out, he would find that Mo Yifeng had quietly snuck into his bed while he was sleeping.

At first, Mo Yifeng explained that it was because he was too tired from taking care of Shen Yucheng and had fallen asleep unconsciously.

Shen Yucheng listened and felt helpless, after all, the other party was doing this to take care of him.

However, later, even when there was no need for overnight care, Mo Yifeng was still asleep beside him when he woke up the next morning.

He couldn’t help but wonder, and the other party’s ‘excuse’ was: the weather had become much colder after entering winter. He saw that Shen Yucheng’s hands and feet were cold, which would affect his recovery, so he could only use his body to provide warmth.

After this happened several times, Shen Yucheng was too lazy to bother anymore.

Because he discovered that whenever he mentioned that Mo Yifeng was not allowed to climb onto his bed again, the other party would lower his head, revealing his fluffy head of hair, and remain silent.

Leaving Shen Yucheng with no way to deal with it.

After a few more days, under someone’s careful care, Shen Yucheng’s injuries were completely recovered, except for his eyes.

He also told Mo Yifeng about Bai Guchen, but the other party was unexpectedly calm.

“Aren’t you very interested in those strange Dao techniques?” Mo Yifeng had no interest in the Puppet Dao, which surprised him. He thought the other party would be clamoring to look for Bai Guchen immediately.

Hearing this, Mo Yifeng took one of Shen Yucheng’s jade feet and concentrated on wiping it, “It’s okay, rather than being interested in the Puppet Dao, I’m more interested in studying Yucheng-ge’s ‘True Puppet’. It would be great if you could let me study it properly one day.”

Mo Yifeng’s foot-wiping motion suddenly intensified, and Shen Yucheng shivered, involuntarily retracting his calf. Unfortunately, the other party held on even tighter.

“Ge, don’t move.”

“Then be gentle…”

“No, this is the only way to wash it clean.”

“Ugh! Not there!”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, interrupting their conversation. Fu Lingxuan’s calm voice came from outside the door, “Is Yucheng-shidi there?”

Shen Yucheng took the opportunity to break free, pulling his foot back from Mo Yifeng’s hand. In the process, the water in the basin splashed a few times, and the “splish-splash” sound was clearly transmitted outside the door.

Fu Lingxuan heard it clearly: “…”

Mo Yifeng grabbed Shen Yucheng’s foot again and said seriously, “Ge, I’ll be gentler, don’t move anymore, it’s about to flow out.”

Fu Lingxuan supported his forehead outside the door, not expecting his two shidi to be so good at this, playing it even more elaborately than him.

“What are you here for?” Mo Yifeng impatiently shouted at Fu Lingxuan outside the door.

Fu Lingxuan then remembered the purpose of his visit, “Has Yucheng-shidi’s eyes not recovered yet?”

Only the three shidi of Futian Peak knew about this matter.

“Not yet.” Shen Yucheng responded, “What’s wrong?”

Fu Lingxuan said, “The results just came out, you have a competition today, your opponent is the young master of the Shi family.”

.

On the arena, Shi Wen stood alone in the center, all eyes focused on him, and mocking voices came from all around.

“Isn’t he seriously injured? Why did they draw him to compete?”

“Seeing Young Master Shi waiting so long without moving, Shen Yucheng hasn’t even shown a shadow.”

“Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Shen Yucheng these past few days, and Mo Yifeng has rarely shown his face either.”

After the spinning wheel selected Shi Wen, he directly asked for Shen Yucheng as his opponent. Half an hour had already passed. If Shen Yucheng didn’t appear again, the spinning wheel would re-select an opponent.

However, Shi Wen still stood motionless on the stage, his eyes cold and fixed on the front.

The elders were also waiting. For those who had seen Shen Yucheng’s injuries, they didn’t believe he could recover so quickly.

The spinning wheel in the air began to count down.

Lingyi turned to Li Yuan and said, “Didn’t you say Fu Lingxuan went to call him? Why hasn’t he arrived yet?”

As soon as she finished speaking, a streak of crimson-gold light suddenly appeared above the Nascent Soul group’s arena, and the sword pressure descended again, causing everyone to hold their breath.

Lingyi looked up, “Still such a big show.”

Mo Yifeng controlled his sword and slowly landed in the center of the arena, helping Shen Yucheng to land steadily. Shen Yucheng looked around and whispered into Mo Yifeng’s ear, “Are a lot of people watching? Should I let go?”

Mo Yifeng liked Shen Yucheng being so close to him, and replied in his ear, “No need, no one’s noticed.”

Hearing this, Shen Yucheng’s heart relaxed slightly. He was afraid of becoming the focus again.

Not far away, Fu Lingxuan had just returned to Li Yuan’s side. Lingyi’s face was stunned as she pointed at the stage, “What happened to them these past few days? How did their relationship get so good so quickly?”

Fu Lingxuan shook his head, silently guarding everything he had heard outside the door, protecting the “secret” of his two shidi.

Shen Yucheng couldn’t see his and Mo Yifeng’s current posture, but the two were very close, almost as if they were kissing from some angles. The female cultivators couldn’t help but scream.

With Shen Yucheng’s arrival, the spinning wheel stopped counting down, and the competition officially entered the preparation stage.

Urged by the elders, Mo Yifeng reluctantly left the arena. Before leaving, he whispered to Shen Yucheng to be sure to do what he could, and if there was anything he couldn’t do, just look at him.

Shen Yucheng nodded, and their intimate interaction was a blatant provocation in Shi Wen’s eyes.

“You actually dare to come, I admire you.” Shi Wen sneered. In the past few days, Mo Yifeng had hardly appeared in public, so he had been taking care of Shen Yucheng.

He had also secretly run to Futian Peak, wanting to investigate Mo Yifeng, but was stopped by the person who claimed to be his second senior brother.

Shi Wen was indignant, pointing directly at Shen Yucheng’s face, “You are not worthy of him at all! Mo Yifeng has appeared so few times this year, all because of you! Don’t delay him anymore!”

However, Shen Yucheng’s dark and deep eyes stared directly at Shi Wen, causing the other party to shiver.

Shi Wen always felt that Shen Yucheng seemed very different from the past few days, but when he thought about it, the other party was just a patient who had not recovered from his injuries, so he was not worth fearing at all, and continued to spout nonsense.

However, without him knowing, Shen Yucheng was talking to Yan Quanye using the Heart Contract.

Shen Yucheng: “Is Shi Wen directly in front of me?”

Yan Quanye: “How many times have you asked? With me here, no one will find out that you’re blind – now turn two degrees to the northwest, ah yes, that guy moved just now when he spoke.”

Shen Yucheng: “…”

Learning that he had to compete while blind, Shen Yucheng was indeed a little nervous. However, Yan Quanye said he would guarantee to help him, and since he couldn’t let others know he was blind, otherwise it would only attract more danger, he gritted his teeth and went on stage.

Shi Wen hurled a series of insults at Shen Yucheng, but the latter didn’t react much.

Until the second before the competition was about to begin, Shen Yucheng said lightly, “Whether I am worthy or not is not for you to judge.”

“How about this, if I can win you within a quarter of an hour, you will stop pestering Mo Yifeng and obediently go back to the Shi family to be your young master?”

Shi Wen laughed as if he had heard a great joke, laughing up to the sky, “Good! If you can win, I will do anything you want!”

The spinning wheel sounded the horn, and the competition officially began. The audience focused, anticipating how Shi Wen would defeat Shen Yucheng.

“Can he really win within a quarter of an hour?” Lingyi thought of Shen Yucheng’s injuries and asked.

Mo Yifeng stood aside, his expression as usual, “I don’t know, but Ge promised me.”

Mo Yifeng had originally strongly opposed Shen Yucheng’s participation in this competition, but Shen Yucheng insisted, hooking fingers with him, and if he couldn’t win within a quarter of an hour, he would allow Mo Yifeng to rush onto the stage and take him away.

The focus returned to the arena.

Shi Wen smiled, “Pretentious.” He summoned his emerald green natal sword, wanting to quickly give Shen Yucheng a head start. “Anyway, you only know those few moves of breaking silk.”

Before the words were finished, the Heart Contract in Shen Yucheng’s palm suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, and with a “bang—” the stage was instantly shrouded in dense fog, and Shi Wen didn’t even have time to react.

The dense fog rushed towards him, and Shi Wen narrowed his eyes, reaching out to block his vision. After a moment, the fog dissipated slightly, and he opened his eyes, his pupils suddenly contracting, the sword in his hand involuntarily drooping down, his whole person standing there in a daze.

Everyone outside the arena also widened their eyes in shock, as if they had never seen such a scene.

Yan Quanye looked at the expressions of the crowd below the stage, couldn’t help but chuckle, and said to Shen Yucheng, “It’s a pity you can’t see their reactions now, it’s really wonderful.”

Shen Yucheng’s gaze didn’t change, he squatted down and touched the Azure Scaled Lion, which roared in a low voice, causing everyone present to tremble.

“This… what is this monster? How can it be so huge…”

“Could it be an external invasion? What exactly is this thing?”

The elders were also stunned when they saw the Azure Scaled Lion. They knew that this was a species from the Northern Region, but they didn’t expect anyone to be able to tame them.

Lingyi whistled, somewhat excited, “It’s finally out, this big guy should have been shown off long ago.”

Li Yuan said faintly, “It’s still amazingly big no matter how many times I see it.”

Mo Yifeng smiled proudly, “This is what I and Yucheng-ge found together when we were going through thick and thin.”

The others: “…” They didn’t ask that.

Shen Yucheng stood on the back of the Azure Scaled Lion, looking down at Shi Wen, his eyes as cold as frost.

Shi Wen gritted his teeth, full of anger and unwillingness, but was firmly locked on by Shen Yucheng’s gaze, unable to move.

“Damn it.”
