TEMBMBIWB Chapter 19
by VolareChapter 19
Several people were dead drunk in the lakeside pavilion behind the inn.
Of course, the White Deer Immortal was not good at drinking and never consumed alcohol.
Right now, Sui Chunsheng was slightly tipsy, Yue Shanglan was completely drunk, but Wugen, even after drinking half a jar, showed no signs of being affected, looking like he had a bottomless stomach.
Sui Chunsheng’s cheeks were flushed, and he opened his collar, regaining a brief moment of clarity.
At this moment, a velvet flower waist ornament fell before his eyes, seemingly still carrying a fragrance.
The young man’s eyes lit up, and his face showed surprise.
“Master?”
Tan Zhui chuckled softly: “I bought it on the street just now. It’s a hibiscus flower, paired with a peace knot that humans use to pray for safety.”
“I thought it looked very fitting with the hibiscus, just treat it as a little trinket…”
Sui Chunsheng immediately clenched the waist ornament in his palm, happily saying, “I will definitely treasure it! I like it, Master, I like it.”
As Sui Chunsheng spoke, he tied the waist ornament together with his jade pendant, which matched exceptionally well.
Yue Shanglan grabbed Tan Zhui’s sleeve, “Azhui, did you drink my wine just now?”
Tan Zhui’s eyes trembled, somewhat puzzled: “When did I…”
But he lowered his eyes and saw the empty wine cup in his hand.
“Isn’t this tea?”
Yue Shanglan: “That’s my clear wine!”
“Azhui, although this stuff doesn’t have much taste, it’s very intoxicating!”
Yue Shanglan climbed up from the table, leaned over, and pouted, “Azhui, are you dizzy?”
Wugen, who was standing nearby, quickly pulled him away and pressed him back down.
Tan Zhui shook his head, but found his body go limp the next second.
Before Sui Chunsheng could react, his master collapsed into his arms. Almost instinctively, he embraced him.
The White Deer Immortal, lying in his embrace, was already fast asleep.
The two’s breaths intertwined, the floral scent and wine aroma mingling together.
Sui Chunsheng’s heart pounded like a drum, and he wrapped him up in his cloak.
“Master, Master.”
After calling out twice, he only received Tan Zhui’s low whimpers.
Only then did Sui Chunsheng pick him up, leaving behind the words: “Master is drunk, I’ll take him back to rest.”
…
Entering the room, Sui Chunsheng felt his way in the dark and gently placed him on the couch.
After hesitating for a moment, he did not light the lamp.
In the dim light, the young man looked at the person before him. Because he was drunk, the White Deer Immortal’s cheeks had a slight blush, his lips were a deep red, and they were slightly parted, revealing the tip of his tongue.
The young man’s heart was wandering, and he reached out to close his lips, tucking in the quilt.
The White Deer Immortal hummed twice, nudging his head towards him.
Sui Chunsheng’s back immediately stiffened. At this moment, his master was leaning on him, their breaths scattering on each other’s cheeks.
He had never seen his master like this.
Like this, like a kitten.
At this moment, he was snuggling up to him for warmth.
The young man remained stiff for a moment, his breathing completely disordered. He couldn’t help but reach out, stroking the White Deer Immortal’s cheek.
The young man’s knuckles were very hot, but the White Deer Immortal leaned into the touch, seeming comfortable.
Sui Chunsheng felt that his heart was beating so fast it was almost painful, his breathing had also stopped. After a long time, he suddenly pulled back his overstepping hand.
He finally grasped his hand, extremely restrained, and bowed his head, kissing his fingertips.
The young man could no longer bear it and rushed out of the room.
After drenching himself in cold water several times, the heavy, unbearable feeling finally dissipated.
In the middle of the night, the White Deer Immortal suddenly felt cold and slowly woke up.
Tan Zhui slowly opened his eyes. The unfamiliar scene took him a while to realize that he had gotten drunk and been brought by Little Hibiscus to the inn to rest.
Instinctively looking for Little Hibiscus’ figure, he found that his beloved disciple was sleeping on a lounge chair nearby, fully dressed, hugging his Tansue Sword.
The cloak on his body was spread out under the White Deer Immortal’s body, which alleviated the hardness of the bed beneath him. So, the young man was dressed in thin clothes, curled up on the lounge chair.
He looked a little uncomfortable.
Tan Zhui got up and laboriously reached out, tugging at the young man’s sleeve.
The young man opened his eyes in a daze, meeting Tan Zhui’s eyes in the moonlight.
Sui Chunsheng was still a little sleepy, “Master?”
Tan Zhui couldn’t help but look at the young man’s eyebrows. Little Hibiscus was almost an adult, having grown a lot, and his eyebrows were even sharper.
In this short silence, the young man’s eyes gradually became clear.
Tan Zhui: “Asheng, come up and sleep together.”
“It’s cold in the mortal realm.”
Sui Chunsheng’s eyes lit up, and seeing that the White Deer Immortal had already consciously made room, he climbed onto the bed.
“Master.”
The young man’s voice was a little muffled.
Tan Zhui hummed in response, turning to his side.
Although they shared a bed, there was still a chasm between them.
But even so, Tan Zhui still felt the warmth from the young man’s body.
“Master, good night.”
“Hibiscus, good night.”
Both of their voices carried the drowsiness of sleep, and the sound of rain filled the window.
After a long time, Tan Zhui looked sideways at the sleeping young man beside him. The young man’s hand had unknowingly grabbed a corner of his sleeve.
Tan Zhui’s heart warmed, and he closed his eyes again, sleeping side by side.
…
Early the next morning, as soon as Sui Chunsheng opened his eyes, he saw the White Deer Immortal right in front of him.
His eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, his lips were slightly parted, and a scent of agarwood seemed to surround him.
Sui Chunsheng endured it for a long time, slowly moving closer.
Until he felt the other’s breath on his lips, the agarwood scent became even stronger.
“Azhui—”
A shout came from outside, followed by Yue Shanglan’s knock on the door.
Tan Zhui suddenly opened his eyes, meeting the young man’s tender gaze.
The young man immediately restrained the invasion in his eyes, his eyelashes fluttering.
Tan Zhui withdrew his gaze, speaking softly, “Asheng, Alan is outside.”
Sui Chunsheng hummed in response, helping him up.
“Azhui! Azhui! We should go!”
Until the door was opened by the young man, Yue Shanglan met the young man’s gloomy gaze.
Yue Shanglan thought, “This little beast has a pretty big morning temper…”
The group left the lower realm by carriage. In the uninhabited mountains, the carriage flew through the clouds. The lead horses shed their disguises, transforming into two three-tailed divine beasts, passing through the spring of the demon realm.
The demon realm was open-minded, often welcoming cultivators from the lower and middle realms. Even the coarse demon race was not restricted by the demon race.
However, people from the Nine Heavens rarely came here.
The few in the carriage pondered. Finally, the White Deer Immortal waved his sleeves, giving the others ears and tails, pretending to be demon cultivators from the middle realm and entering the territory of the demon realm.
The demon realm was rich in natural resources, with spiritual treasures everywhere. Therefore, cultivators who came to search for treasures were constantly coming and going.
There were six or seven teams in front of the group’s carriage.
“Recently, the demon realm is experiencing the spiritual treasure auction that occurs once every five hundred years. It’s really a coincidence. Maybe we can find some rare treasures, which may stabilize the mind and help Little Chunsheng suppress that thing,” Yue Shanglan shook the white weasel ears on his head.
“Azhui, you wait here. I’ll go book a courtyard to stay.”
Yue Shanglan pulled Wugen forward, rushing off with a flurry.
Sui Chunsheng tugged at the rabbit ears on his head, puzzled, “Master, why am I a rabbit?”
Tan Zhui pursed his lips, looking at the round and fluffy tail on his beloved disciple’s butt, slightly curling the corners of his lips, “It was just a casual transformation.”
Sui Chunsheng noticed the joy on his face and muttered softly, “Disciple doesn’t believe it. Master did it on purpose.”
The young man resentfully reached out, pinching the White Deer Immortal’s furry ears.
The next second, Tan Zhui shivered, seemingly whimpering, and quickly covered his mouth.
Sui Chunsheng realized something was wrong. The feel of the ears was too real, and the place he had pinched seemed to be slightly red.
Sui Chunsheng looked at the spirit deer ears that had drooped down because of his touch, and immediately realized something.
“I’m sorry! I didn’t know it was Master’s…”
Tan Zhui bit his lip, suppressing the strange feeling, and said softly, “It’s fine.”
Those gray-blue eyes darkened, and a layer of pale pink appeared at the corners of his eyes.
Yue Shanglan was squeezing around in front, anxiously trying to book a few superior rooms, so that the group would not have to rough it for a few days again. He was completely unaware of what was happening behind him.
“Azhui! I’m so tired! These cultivators seem like they’re starving, they’re even more eager than the aunties at the market. I just casually grabbed a courtyard. It’s in the village ahead. Although the village isn’t prosperous, it’s considered the famous Fox Cave, so it’s livable.” Yue Shanglan took the lease, beckoning to the two, “Come quickly, let’s go take a look.”
“I heard the girls in this Fox Cave are very beautiful!”
Seeing him animated, Tan Zhui couldn’t help but say, “Was it really casually grabbed?”
Yue Shanglan knew he was teasing, “Really, Wugen grabbed it! It definitely wasn’t intentional on my part!”
Wugen babbled a few words, seemingly not understanding.
Tan Zhui was too lazy to pay attention to the rogue immortal, and said to the young man beside him, “Asheng, let’s go.”
The carriage slowly drove into the Fox Cave. The fox demons on the street couldn’t help but stop and look, discussing the newly arrived treasure hunting cultivators, tilting their heads cleverly, looking particularly cute.
Indeed, as Yue Shanglan had said, there was not one girl in the Fox Cave who was not beautiful, even the young men had handsome faces.
Tan Zhui lifted the curtain of the carriage, a breeze blowing up the veil of his hat, revealing the face beneath the white veil, his eyebrows and eyes were stern, but his lips were rosy and his teeth white, the breeze gently caressing his face, fine hair around his ears.
The fox demons standing by the carriage immediately let out a cry of surprise, seemingly all dumbfounded.
Sui Chunsheng poked half his head out from the side, pouting, “You’re not allowed to look at my master! Don’t you have a master?!—”
Immediately, a burst of laughter erupted.
Tan Zhui was startled for a moment, chuckling, “Rascal.”
Sui Chunsheng completely ignored him, waving his hand at the fox demons, “Go! Go!”
The group of foxes looked at each other and couldn’t help but laugh softly. This little cultivator was really interesting.
So protective!
The carriage stopped in front of the courtyard. Sui Chunsheng got out of the carriage first, turning back to help his master down.
Tan Zhui chuckled, touching the young man’s hair, “Look at you, you’re already this big, still being jealous.”
Sui Chunsheng pouted, pulling at his sleeve.
“Master, what if someone takes a fancy to Master and insists on becoming your disciple, what should I do?”
Tan Zhui: “I promised Asheng that I would only take you as a disciple.”
Sui Chunsheng: “Master is soft-hearted, it’s inevitable that others will pester you.”
Yue Shanglan said speechlessly from the side, “Look at you protecting him like a treasure, have you forgotten the days when you were crying while practicing your sword, your face covered in tears?”
Sui Chunsheng glanced at him, “You don’t understand.”
Yue Shanglan: “.”
Yue Shanglan rolled his eyes, taking the lead into the courtyard.
