Murder God Chapter 3

Chapter 3: 003 Do You Want to Leave a Love Bite?

Chapter Three

Can you clear the smut out of your head? Jian Zhi laughed in exasperation. I am talking to you about conquering the world, and you are talking to me about wanting to fuck me?

He was beautiful, and his smile was even better.

Even though he was angry, his glaring eyes looked like a cat’s, making the provocateur want to lean in and let him scratch.

Baby, I am an Evil God. I only saved you because you looked sweet and delicious. If I were really interested in this world, I would have wiped it out with a gust of wind hundreds of years ago. Why wait until now?

The man laughed even more wantonly, hooking his chin.

In our line of work, we believe in tit for tat. If you want me to do something, you have to give me a down payment, right?

How about I give you a name?

Jian Zhi held his wrist, brought his hand to his face, and kissed his palm.

A name, a memory. When you have had your fill of fun, you can take me away, body and soul. Isn’t that worth savoring slowly?

The God fell silent, weighing Jian Zhi’s words.

Indeed, Jian Zhi was just an ordinary human and could not resist his pheromones.

The Evil God’s pheromones were too dominant; they would make Jian Zhi lose himself, unable to show such stubborn eyes or say such amusing things.

If he marked Jian Zhi now, he would only get an obedient little kitten.

What name do you plan to give me?

He toyed with Jian Zhi’s hair idly, sensing an unusual atmosphere in his strange submissiveness. His voice grew deep.

You are the first person who has ever wanted to bestow a name upon a god.

Is that so? Jian Zhi said indifferently. Then I really am special.

He pulled back slightly, scanning the man from top to bottom, studying his face.

After a moment, he seemed to make up his mind.

Ye Chenzhi.

His voice was cold, the previous gentleness gone, replaced by an icy certainty.

Your name is Ye Chenzhi.

The rattling of the chains stopped.

On the gold-stained walls, all the patterns lit up at once. Eerie red light, like blood, flowed through every line. Within the space, an unknown power surged instantly.

His voice dropped lower, filled with a mystery that made the eardrums ache: Ye Chenzhi…

Jian Zhi did not speak or move.

He just stared at the person before him, watching the rich gold swirling in his eyes, watching the uncontrollable crimson flicker within them, watching him close his eyes tightly. When he opened them again, only pure dark brown remained.

I accept this name.

Ye Chenzhi spoke with a smile, pulling him over and rubbing his hair recklessly until the soft strands stuck out everywhere. He looked very happy.

It sounds quite nice. Is there any deep meaning?

After gaining a human name, his movements and speech became more human-like.

The part belonging to the Evil God was tucked away by Ye Chenzhi. From his behavior alone, it was hard for Jian Zhi to see any difference between them.

Yes, Ye Chenzhi. It implies you come from the deep night. Though you seem silent, you possess world-shaping talent.

Jian Zhi said expressionlessly, pressing down on his hand to stop him from messing with his hair.

I have paid the deposit. Can you unlock these chains and put me somewhere a normal human should be?

Of course. These chains were purely for my personal interest, Ye Chenzhi said. Don’t you think you looked very ornamental just now?

He snapped his fingers, and the room’s scenery changed instantly.

The bottomless abyss vanished. A floor appeared beneath Jian Zhi’s feet, covered with a thick, long-piled carpet that looked quite warm.

The chains on his body also disappeared, and the net beneath him turned into a high bed with soft pillows.

Only the style was less than ideal.

You don’t seem to like this bed very much, Ye Chenzhi asked with a smile. Is there a problem? My princess.

The last time I saw a bed like this was in a Disney movie.

Jian Zhi restrained the urge to roll his eyes and said politely:

Are you really that fond of Rapunzel?

I also love Beauty and the Beast. Do you want a rose?

Ye Chenzhi pushed open the window for him. The wooden frame looked like it had come from Heidi, Girl of the Alps, requiring a wooden stick to prop it open.

There is a moon tonight. Want to see?

Jian Zhi walked to the window and looked at the night sky. Fortunately, it was not a blood moon.

He glanced inconspicuously at the person beside him. In the original plot, Ye Chenzhi had very little screen time, only mentioned briefly when discussing the Federation’s contamination.

It was said that the endless monsters in the Federation all came from the Undescribable Being in the deepest part of the Contaminated Zone.

No one had seen its true form. Everyone who approached the center of the Contaminated Zone became mentally deranged, forgetting family and friends, living in delirium every day, muttering nonsense no one could understand.

The Round Table Council was exhausted. They had tried cold weapons and firearms, but aside from killing a few mindless monsters, there was almost no effect.

Even getting close to the center of the Contaminated Zone was a problem, let alone completely eliminating the contamination. They could only abandon piece after piece of land, keeping the news locked among the high-ranking officials, claiming to the public it was chemical pollution while evacuating everyone.

After decades of cover-ups, the situation could no longer be hidden.

Jian Zhi’s current trial was because a large-scale Contaminated Zone had appeared in his jurisdiction. Before the citizens could be evacuated, a video had leaked and gone viral online, nearly becoming an uncontrollable situation.

This person beside him, who had saved his life, might be the very reason he was sent to the Judgment Platform.

Looking at it that way, fate really loved to play jokes.

Ye Chenzhi stood beside him, looking at the bright moon outside. His deep eyes were full of excitement, looking like a young man just starting out.

If he had not just been locked in a bedroom, pinned by the neck, and injected with high-concentration pheromones, Jian Zhi would never have believed he was the Evil God.

This name of mine… it doesn’t actually mean what you said, does it? Ye Chenzhi asked suddenly, tilting his head toward him.

Jian Zhi snapped back to reality. How could it not? That is exactly what it means.

Otherwise, what was he supposed to say?

Actually, the reason I gave you this name is because I felt your form of existence had a bit of a connection to a certain famous animation, so I might as well just call you Orange Juice and let everyone reach a completionship together?

Really? Ye Chenzhi looked at his expression, even more skeptical.

Yes, Jian Zhi nodded firmly, his sense of conviction strong. The Silent King born of the dark night. Doesn’t that fit your status as an Evil God?

Baby, I couldn’t tell you were so chuunibyou.

Ye Chenzhi believed his explanation, shaking his head and sighing.

As the most educated person in the Round Table Council, I thought you would give me a more elegant name.

Jian Zhi fell into an eerie silence for a moment. You investigated me?

Ye Chenzhi looked at him in surprise. We are about to form a contract and stay together forever. Isn’t it normal to get to know each other?

…

Jian Zhi took a deep breath, beginning to wonder if this Evil God had suffered some programming error during the process of becoming human. He spoke like he was in a movie.

Unilaterally marking me counts as forming a contract?

It counts, Ye Chenzhi said righteously. I only mark one person at a time.

You are quite principled.

Jian Zhi watched the moon for a while. Seeing no strange phenomena outside, he prepared to close the window.

He tilted his chin at Ye Chenzhi, signaling him to move his hand from the windowsill so he could lower the small wooden stick.

Ye Chenzhi completely misunderstood his meaning. He took the opportunity to pinch his chin, his thumb brushing over his lips.

The pheromones left behind earlier instantly began to boil. It seemed any touch from him would make Jian Zhi’s whole body burn.

Jian Zhi instinctively took a step back, a hint of red appearing on his ears.

Don’t move.

Ye Chenzhi grabbed his waist, pulled him back, and pressed him into his arms. His fingers brushed aside his collar, revealing a small red mark beneath his slender collarbone, exceptionally vivid against his fair skin.

Does it feel uncomfortable?

His fingers pressed against that red mark, gently kneading it until the skin there turned a bit red.

The distance became very close. Ye Chenzhi’s breath was scalding as it fell on Jian Zhi’s ear. He was almost speaking against his ear, whether intentionally or not.

Jian Zhi felt as if he were surrounded by a sea breeze. The moist, salty breath turned into a dense net, enveloping him so he could not escape.

Within the scent belonging solely to Ye Chenzhi, that agonizing heat eased slightly, but his heart was still beating wildly, manifesting the chaos within his body.

A little, Jian Zhi’s voice trembled for a moment, but he quickly stabilized it, returning to his usual calm. You shouldn’t have injected so many pheromones into me.

I wanted you too much.

Ye Chenzhi never hid his intentions, answering frankly.

I like it when you are covered in my scent.

Ye Chenzhi.

Jian Zhi pursed his lips, squeezing his name from his throat, trying his best not to let it sound too sweet.

You will exercise restraint, won’t you?

Ye Chenzhi was a beast with no sense of right or wrong, who did not understand social rules. Jian Zhi did not want to give him too much sweetness before taming him.

His power was too strong. Once he realized he could do whatever he wanted, all the traps Jian Zhi set with words would fail.

What Jian Zhi wanted was not to play some love game with him.

It was to have the strongest support in this world full of danger.

Ye Chenzhi stared at him, his thumb stroking his lips.

Soft, delicate, like a light cloud, leaving a hint of moisture on his hand.

Must I exercise restraint? Ye Chenzhi leaned in closer, his eyes dark and unreadable. My pheromones will make you feel very good.

Mhm.

Jian Zhi turned his head slightly, avoiding his hand, and pulled his shirt collar back into place.

Is that also what the marking manual says?

Ye Chenzhi nodded. Supposedly, it will make you feel great.

Jian Zhi looked up and smiled ambiguously. Is this your first time marking a human?

This Evil God was actually this innocent.

Jian Zhi was somewhat surprised.

Injecting me with pheromones is something only you know about. But if you leave a love bite on me, everyone will see it.

Jian Zhi said in a low voice. He took Ye Chenzhi’s hand and left a fleeting kiss on his palm.

There are many people in the Round Table Council who want my life. Don’t you want them to know that I belong to you?
