Chapter 66: Ancient Times 40 (End) Bound Under Black Silk…

Inside a palace.

The room was dim, with only a single candle flickering, providing the only light.

The incense filled the room with an elegant and rich warmth, adding a touch of romance to the cold and dark space.

It was quiet, without even the sound of birds.

—As if it were uninhabited.

Only by calming down and listening carefully could one hear a faint, shallow breath.

Its source was that dark room.

The candlelight illuminated a section around it, vaguely revealing a dark wooden pillar with intricate patterns.

Judging by its shape and outline, it seemed to be a magnificent bed.

The wood shimmered faintly under the candlelight, a luster only found in the finest Phoebe zhennan wood. The bed was extravagantly carved from a single piece of this precious wood, worth a fortune, with openwork so natural that it was clearly the work of a master.

In front of the bed was a large, soft, and pure white animal skin rug, a rare tribute from a vassal state.

And behind the layers of gauze curtains of the bed, a figure could be vaguely seen.

Even from that blurred shadow, one could discern a tall and slender man with a well-proportioned physique, making one curious about the appearance hidden behind the curtains.

And by whom had he been placed here?

The faint candlelight shone through the layers of gauze curtains, and Chu Li-fei seemed to sense something. His eyelashes trembled slightly as he struggled to wake up.

Where was he?

Chu Li-fei’s mind was blank. Before his consciousness faded, he remembered…

Lu Mo-chen had seized the throne.

It was also Lu Mo-chen who had used a strange fragrance to drug him, and then…

The answer was obvious.

Chu Li-fei’s eyelashes fluttered, but he felt something obstructing him.

He opened his eyes, only to find pitch darkness before him.

Chu Li-fei was stunned for a moment. He blinked again. This time, he finally realized that a black cloth was covering his eyes. The obstruction his eyelashes had touched earlier came from this cloth.

After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he could vaguely see a yellowish-orange light source and hear the sound of dripping wax.

Chu Li-fei subconsciously raised his hand to remove the black cloth, but stopped mid-motion.

A strong sense of restraint, accompanied by the clinking of chains, forcefully halted his next action.

This was… a handcuff?

Chu Li-fei gently moved his wrist and, sure enough, felt the heavy weight on his wrist. Both of his hands were cuffed. Chu Li-fei tried to break free but found that the metal was unusual; it wouldn’t be easy to unlock in a short time.

The metal should have been cold and hard, but Chu Li-fei felt none of that. The creator of these handcuffs had thoughtfully wrapped a layer of soft fur around them, seemingly to prevent Chu Li-fei’s wrists from being chafed by the cold metal. This was why Chu Li-fei hadn’t noticed the handcuffs at first.

And it was precisely because of this layer of fur that the handcuffs fit so perfectly on Chu Li-fei’s wrists, preventing him from escaping in other ways.

It was as if the owner of the handcuffs had carefully measured his size and prepared them specifically for him…

Normally, realizing this would send a shiver down one’s spine, like an electric current spreading throughout the body, making one’s hair stand on end and causing a cold sweat to break out.

But Chu Li-fei didn’t seem afraid when he realized this.

The black silk covered his beautiful eyes, making it impossible to guess his mood, but the playful smile at the corner of his lips revealed his intrigued inner thoughts.

These handcuffs had a clever design—Chu Li-fei had heard it when he shook them earlier—their length was also carefully calculated. Each of his hands was bound by a handcuff, with the other end locked to the head of the bed. The length was just enough for Chu Li-fei to move around, but it was impossible to remove the black cloth from his eyes.

[Host doesn’t seem afraid?]

Just then, a familiar voice sounded in his mind.

Was it the system? Chu Li-fei was puzzled; he didn’t remember the system offering a chat service.

The familiar mechanical voice seemed to contain a faint emotion this time, its tone more lively than before. [Isn’t Host afraid Lu Mo-chen will kill you?]

Chu Li-fei was somewhat interested in the system’s question, but he didn’t answer directly: “Why do you think so?”

[Because,] the system paused for a rare moment.

[In stories, the protagonist always kills the villain in the end.]

“Is that so?” Chu Li-fei’s tone was light, as if he wasn’t affected by the system’s words at all.

[Then Host isn’t afraid at all?]

The system asked the question it had asked at the beginning.

“Not at all,” Chu Li-fei’s tone was like a cunning fox, casually revealing a hint of keen interest. “In fact, I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. At first, I wondered if he would even have the guts to do this to me.”

“Now it seems, I underestimated him.”

“Back to your second question.”

Chu Li-fei shook the chains, the sound of metal clashing like a crisp bell. He lay leisurely on the bed, without the unease or fear of being imprisoned.

If he could remove that annoying black silk, one would surely see the brilliance swirling in those beautiful amber-colored peach blossom eyes: “Let’s make a bet.”

“I bet he won’t kill me.”

[But ■■ is difficult to defy…]

“Listen, he’s coming.”

The system’s unfinished words were drowned out by Chu Li-fei’s voice, so he naturally didn’t hear the system’s sputtering electronic sound, assuming it was just covered by his own voice.

And the sound of those two words “■■” seemed to originally be the words “the Heavenly Dao”…

Chu Li-fei’s senses were correct. A sound of footsteps stopped in front of the door the moment the system disappeared.

Closing his eyes, the loss of sight made his hearing more acute.

He heard the sound of the door being pushed open and the sound of those footsteps stopping in front of his bed.

“Royal Uncle?” A low, husky voice sounded by the bed, with a slight trembling of guilty conscience and an eagerness of anticipation—

—It was Lu Mo-chen’s voice.

The room was silent, and no one answered him.

The darkness in the room silently witnessed everything, seemingly giving Lu Mo-chen great affirmation and encouragement.

His fingers began to tremble uncontrollably, and then he took off his outer robe, his inner garment…

The candlelight stretched his shadow infinitely, and then witnessed the tall and graceful shadow slowly devouring the other shadow on the bed…

Lu Mo-chen knelt beside Chu Li-fei with his legs apart. His eyes were infatuated and unfocused, only able to murmur repeatedly, “Royal Uncle…”

From his angle, he could clearly see Chu Li-fei’s sharply defined jawline and those scarlet lips in the flickering light.

They looked so inviting to kiss.

Lu Mo-chen did indeed do so.

It was just a pity that those beautiful peach blossom eyes were now bound under the black silk. The extreme contrast of black and white formed a striking contrast on Chu Li-fei’s face.

Lu Mo-chen leaned down and kissed him.

The black silk dented slightly under Lu Mo-chen’s gentle force, outlining Chu Li-fei’s high nose bridge. Lu Mo-chen’s kisses continued to fall, eventually landing on those soft lips.

In an instant, the sound of wet, clinging saliva echoed in the room. Lu Mo-chen used his nimble tongue to pry open Chu Li-fei’s teeth, and then penetrated deeper and deeper…

His kisses traveled downward, leaving marks of varying sizes on Chu Li-fei’s body, some even glistening with moisture…

“Mmm… uhn…”

Chu Li-fei’s originally well-dressed clothes were now in disarray, his chest exposed, and Lu Mo-chen’s desires didn’t seem satisfied with just that.

He skillfully used his teeth to remove Chu Li-fei’s pants.

Then, he extended his tongue…

“Uhn… ah…”

A sensation like blasphemy instantly washed over his body. The overwhelming pleasure made his body tremble slightly, and even his soul couldn’t help but quiver.

Chu Li-fei was naturally not unaware of Lu Mo-chen’s actions. He silently clenched the bedsheets beneath him, trying not to make a sound, lest Lu Mo-chen notice.

Lu Mo-chen exerted himself with effort, and his cheeks inevitably began to ache.

Finally, a stream of white Jinjiang squirted into Lu Mo-chen’s mouth.

Lu Mo-chen’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, just as he was about to swallow, when Chu Li-fei’s voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

“Is His Majesty enjoying himself?” Chu Li-fei no longer looked sleepy. A playful smile lifted the corners of his mouth, clearly telling Lu Mo-chen that he could clearly feel everything that had just happened. “How about this subject serves you instead, Your Majesty?”

Lu Mo-chen dared to imprison him, so wasn’t it normal for him to retaliate a little?

Hearing this, Lu Mo-chen’s mind went blank.

Did Royal Uncle know everything? Then he…

“Cough cough… cough…” Before his mind could clear, he choked on what he hadn’t swallowed in time.

Chu Li-fei had quietly freed himself from the handcuffs at some point. He sat up, and the black silk that had been covering his eyes slid down.

Lu Mo-chen’s eyes were slightly red, and there were even a few tears at the corners of his eyes, clearly from choking.

Chu Li-fei pulled him into his arms and patted him for a while before he recovered.

Lu Mo-chen’s eyes were red-rimmed, full of grievance, silently accusing Chu Li-fei’s wicked behavior just now.

Chu Li-fei couldn’t say anything when he was stared at by such eyes. He shifted his gaze guiltily and then sealed Lu Mo-chen’s lips with a kiss.

“Sorry…”

Muffled sounds echoed between their lips and teeth.

The candle happened to burn out at that moment, and before the last drop of wax was burned dry, a huge flame flared up for a moment, illuminating the fiery red gauze curtains and the two intertwined figures.

The next day.

Still in the same room, but the handcuffs had been removed, probably to prevent Chu Li-fei from having any evidence.

Servants brought in a small table, along with several dishes of hot food.

They all kept their heads down, walking very quickly, afraid of seeing something they shouldn’t.

“Royal Uncle, what did you… mean last night…” Mentioning what happened last night, a blush rose on Lu Mo-chen’s face, clearly a little shy.

With no servants around, Chu Li-fei took the initiative to be the “hot-chicken” and prepare food for His Majesty. His hands didn’t stop moving, and he could still spare the attention to look at Lu Mo-chen’s expression, finding it extremely endearing: “This subject would also like to ask His Majesty…”

“What does His Majesty mean by imprisoning me here?”

Lu Mo-chen stammered, unable to say a complete sentence.

But Chu Li-fei didn’t seem angry, which immediately gave Lu Mo-chen infinite hope. He raised his head, looking up at Chu Li-fei, his eyes sparkling like a small animal:

“Then will Royal Uncle still leave?”

This was what he wanted to know the most.

Chu Li-fei put down the bowl and looked back: “It seems this subject hasn’t worked hard enough.”

“This subject thought His Majesty should have already known the answer last night.”

In an instant, smiles spread in both their eyes.

After that, the two began to deal with the remaining matters from before.

—Such as the remnants of the Crown Prince’s faction.

Liu Shuoyu was a member of the Crown Prince’s faction.

Chu Li-fei had known this for a long time.

So he simply used a plan within a plan, making a scheme with Lu Mo-chen.

The goal was to—catch them all in one swoop.

They weren’t afraid that Lu Molin would try to seize the throne, they were just afraid that he wouldn’t dare to, and would hide somewhere, which would be a headache.

Chu Li-fei first released false information to Liu Shuoyu, saying that he would not return to the capital, so Lu Mo-chen would be isolated and helpless in the capital. And Lu Mo-chen naturally acted distressed, deceiving the spies hidden in his mansion.

Lu Mo-chen, without military force, would naturally be helpless against Lu Molin’s siege.

But Lu Molin overlooked another point, which was that besides the troops under Chu Li-fei, they had another force, which was—Qi Lu.

Since the case of that year, their family had requested to defend the border, and over time, the court naturally forgot about Qi Lu’s existence.

And now, this force had become the key to their plan.

Chu Li-fei wrote a letter asking him to help, and Qi Lu readily agreed.

With just a small number of elite soldiers, these soldiers who fought bravely against foreign enemies year-round were no match for the pampered soldiers of Jinling. They quickly brought Lu Molin’s men under control, which led to the events that followed.

And Chu Li-fei’s side of things wasn’t simple, but it wasn’t difficult either.

Lin Su had mentioned the new emperor of the Ji Kingdom before, who was also eyeing the war between the Yan and Chu Kingdoms.

And this new emperor of the Ji Kingdom was none other than Ji Yanning from back then.

His addition suddenly reversed the war.

The Chu Kingdom of today, under the combined offensive of the Yan and Ji Kingdoms, no longer existed.

Of course, Ji Yanning hadn’t come to do charity for nothing. He made an agreement with Chu Li-fei to divide the land of the Chu Kingdom equally.

As for how to divide it, that was a matter for later.

During this time, there was also an interesting event, which was that Liu Shuoyu seemed to be a reborn person.

Before his death, he looked insane, spouting nonsense, saying things like “previous life,” “coveting,” “killed,” and “together,” which were confusing.

Only Lu Mo-chen understood what he meant.

He had coveted Chu Li-fei for a long time, so he always wanted Chu Li-fei to die at his hands.

In this way, it could be considered a union in another sense…

Lu Mo-chen felt disgusted. Without another word, he directly took a sword and chopped off Liu Shuoyu’s head, also to prevent Liu Shuoyu from revealing more things,

—Such as his rebirth.

After killing the man, Lu Mo-chen cautiously looked at Chu Li-fei’s expression, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he hadn’t noticed anything.

Time passed quickly, and Chu Li-fei stayed by Lu Mo-chen’s side as the Regent.

As Lu Mo-chen grew up and became more ruthless, some people began to speculate when he would execute Chu Li-fei, but what they waited for was one title after another.

Chu Li-fei, the Regent, could almost be said to be another emperor.

Perhaps it was the will of fate, or perhaps it was a childhood illness, but Lu Mo-chen’s body began to deteriorate rapidly after the age of 30.

One day, Chu Li-fei sat in a recliner, holding the pale-faced Lu Mo-chen in his arms.

The wind blew gently, and the sky was clear without a trace of gloom. The sky was full of stars, adorning the deep blue night.

It was like a painting.

Lu Mo-chen’s eyes were slightly red-rimmed. He could feel that his end was approaching and seemed to know why.

But he didn’t regret it.

No, there were regrets, such as not being able to accompany his Royal Uncle anymore.

Even if it was just for a moment…

He couldn’t help but raise his hand, tracing Chu Li-fei’s face, wanting to deeply engrave this image in his mind.

Unfortunately, his strength couldn’t support him to do so.

The hand stretched in the air was about to fall—

Just then, Chu Li-fei supported him.

He took Lu Mo-chen’s cold hand in his palm and gently covered his own cheek with it.

Then, he gently kissed Lu Mo-chen’s forehead: “Sleep.”

“Mmm…”

“Royal Uncle, good night…”

Lu Mo-chen closed his eyes contentedly, his head resting in Chu Li-fei’s arms, his breathing gradually becoming lighter.

Seeing Lu Mo-chen’s sleeping face, Chu Li-fei suddenly felt sleepy.

He also closed his eyes.

In his dream, Chu Li-fei was still in the palace, but he felt that he was younger.

In the distance, a group of people were bullying a small child.

Having spent so much time together, Chu Li-fei could naturally recognize who that small child was.

His pupils constricted: “What are you doing!”

The others scattered and fled.

Chu Li-fei quickly stepped forward, took off his cloak, and wrapped it around the young Lu Mo-chen.

“Are you alright?”

But hearing this, Lu Mo-chen only looked at him warily, with no closeness or trust in his eyes.

His small face barely peeked out from under the fluffy cloak, making him look even more pitiful.

This was different from their first meeting.

Chu Li-fei belatedly seemed to realize something.

He stepped back to make Lu Mo-chen feel a little more at ease.

Chu Li-fei looked at the thin and small Lu Mo-chen and wanted to take him away directly, but he vaguely felt that he couldn’t do that right now.

He couldn’t seem to control this body for too long.

Chu Li-fei couldn’t help it. He untied the token from his waist, reached out, and handed it over, trying to soften his voice: “Don’t be afraid… Take this.”

“Protect yourself, I…” Chu Li-fei paused, stuck for a moment. He swallowed, his eyes flickering, “I will come find you, for sure.”

Lu Mo-chen hesitantly took the token from his hand, examined it for a moment, and then slightly relaxed his vigilance, tentatively asking: “Who are you? What should I… call you?”

“I…”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by several hastily arriving eunuchs.

“Your Highness, why are you here? His Majesty is looking for you.”

At the same time, Chu Li-fei felt that his connection with this body was severed in an instant.

His heart felt empty, and he could only watch Lu Mo-chen’s figure grow further and further away from him.

And Lu Mo-chen wrapped his cloak tightly, his dark eyes staring at that graceful figure for a long time.

“Your Highness?” He clenched the token in his hand. “That is… Royal Uncle.”

Chu Li-fei also dreamed of many things.

He dreamed of taking Lu Mo-chen from Lu Yuanjing, and of teaching Lu Mo-chen how to use a sword…

When he woke up, Lu Mo-chen’s body had completely stopped breathing.

The starry sky was his funeral.

In a trance, Chu Li-fei seemed to hear these words.

“The stars are beautiful… You can be called Chen, okay?”

It was his own voice.

Chu Li-fei closed his eyes, and moisture seemed to slide across his eyelashes.

[System, transmit.]

This time, the transmission was not hindered in any way.

Back in the familiar system space, Chu Li-fei found that the system panel showed the words [Mission Complete].

But strangely, the original mission “Kill the Emperor, Wander the World Freely” was now crossed out with a red line, replaced by “■■■■, ■■■■”.

“System, what’s going on?”

But the system didn’t seem to know either. After searching for a while, it seemed like its circuits were overloaded, and it made a soft explosion sound.

。。。。。。

“Let’s go to the next world.”

[Transmitting—]

After the familiar sensation of weightlessness, Chu Li-fei’s vision went black again.

??? Were his eyes covered again?

But this time his hands weren’t bound, so he could clearly feel that there was nothing on his face.

What was going on?

Just then, he heard rustling sounds in his ears.

Chu Li-fei could also feel that he seemed to be watched by countless eyes.

With sticky, slimy malice, like disgusting bugs in the gutter.

Suddenly, someone approached him and placed their hand directly above his head.

Worth mentioning is that Chu Li-fei’s current posture was kneeling.

In the next moment, countless dazzling lights came from all directions, and Chu Li-fei had to close his eyes to resist the invasion of the strong light.

The host’s exaggerated tone was particularly loud under the microphone, and Chu Li-fei naturally heard it clearly.

“The last item, a slave from the K27 star system.”

“Perhaps you’ve heard his name—Amoris.”

“Who will be able to own him?”

Victor paused when he said this, and the audience below the stage was obviously aroused with some interest and whispered to each other.

Victor glanced over the audience, as if he was very satisfied with the current situation, and continued:

“Although it is just a female worm, as long as you have seen his beauty, Victor, I dare to swear, all the masters will definitely like him!”

“Starting price, 10 million star coins. Oh my god, all the masters must not be able to imagine how many worms we folded in order to catch him.”

Amoris (Chu Li-fei) then realized that the place where he was located was in a place similar to an auction house. And the place where he was, it seems… was in a cage.

He was the last item of the night.

This moment was a carnival for all the worms.

The white light shone on Amoris’s seaweed-like golden curly hair, like the rising sun, shining with incomparable brilliance.

After adapting to the strong light, Amoris slowly opened his eyes.

That was a blue that could drag all worms into the deep sea.

Making them willingly, drown in it.
