TEMBMBIWB Chapter 43
by VolareGu Zui’s voice was gentle, “Ah Zhui, long time no see.”
Tan Zhui was surprised, “Ah Zui…”
Sui Chunsheng couldn’t help but size up the person before him. This immortal in a deep blue robe, he had heard of him before.
He was the eldest disciple of Kunlun Void, Yue Shanglan’s senior brother, and had an extraordinary relationship with Tan Zhui, being his close friend. It was said that he had been in seclusion for a thousand years and had refused to leave the mountain.
These were not the reasons why Sui Chunsheng felt uneasy. It was the look in this Immortal Gu Zui’s eyes when he looked at his master.
Sui Chunsheng was very familiar with that look, because it was the same look he had when he looked at his master, identical.
They both held the same thing, that kind of hard-to-suppress desire and affection.
Tan Zhui looked delighted, his body swaying a little, almost falling into Gu Zui’s arms.
Gu Zui quickly reached out to catch him, “Ah Zhui, be careful.”
But unexpectedly, the young man was quick to grab him, wrapping his arms around his waist.
Sui Chunsheng said in a low voice, “My master is drunk. I’ll take him back to the villa to rest.”
Yue Shanglan quickly said, “Go ahead, these little brats, they knew Ah Zhui wasn’t good at drinking and still got him this drunk.”
Gu Zui looked at the young man with a childish face and naturally felt the vigilance from him, as well as the look he gave him before leaving.
The young man brought the White Deer Immortal back to the room in the villa and finally managed to calm him down.
Tan Zhui seemed to have settled down, lying on the bed half-asleep.
Sui Chunsheng chuckled, lowering his eyes to examine the White Deer Immortal’s features.
Tan Zhui’s brows furrowed slightly, and he hummed.
Sui Chunsheng realized that he wasn’t sleeping comfortably, so he used magic to take off his outer robe, leaving him in his underclothes.
He used a cleansing spell to wash his master’s body.
Sure enough, the White Deer Immortal’s brows relaxed.
Sui Chunsheng felt relieved, covered Tan Zhui with the blanket, and was about to leave.
But he was suddenly grabbed, and he didn’t know where he got the strength. The young man lost his balance and fell straight back onto the bed.
Sui Chunsheng immediately widened his eyes, not because he was now on top of his master.
It was because, due to the previous large movement, the book of stories he had been carrying was directly pulled out. The cover of the book was inexplicably fragile, and those racy images scattered all over the bed.
Sui Chunsheng had almost forgotten that he was carrying this with him, and was so scared he quickly tried to pick up the things on the bed.
While picking them up, he couldn’t help but notice the pictures.
The young man’s ears turned red, and the heat in his dantian made him feel dizzy.
He was both afraid that his master would wake up and cursing Yu Xiao Die’s unreliable craftsmanship in his heart. How could it fall apart so easily? Was she doing it on purpose?!
The White Deer Immortal kept moving, and it took him a long time to gather all the scattered things.
Sui Chunsheng thought to himself, “When I get back, I will burn all of this!”
…
The next morning, the White Deer Immortal had a hangover, so he didn’t wake up until almost noon.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the young man’s smile.
“Master, you’re awake.” Sui Chunsheng smiled brightly. “Perfect timing, I just went to the small kitchen to get breakfast.”
He walked forward, helping his master to dress and wash up.
The two of them had just finished breakfast when they heard a commotion outside the door.
“Ah Zhui, are you still not awake?” Yue Shanglan’s voice came, followed by knocking on the door.
Sui Chunsheng opened the door, “Master is already awake, he was just eating.”
Yue Shanglan: “Little Chunsheng is here too, then that’s perfect, those kids are looking for you.”
Sui Chunsheng glanced to the side and saw Yong Lan, Si Feng, Wugen, and Yu Xiao Die in the courtyard.
Seeing Yu Xiao Die, he was stunned for a moment, “Why are you here?”
Yu Xiao Die: “Of course, I’m here to deliver a gift. I should have arrived yesterday, but that idiot Cheng Huang got lost again, so I only arrived just now.”
Tan Zhui walked out slowly, noticing the two talking, he frowned slightly.
“Ah Zui, I thought I was dreaming last night.”
When the White Deer Immortal said this, Sui Chunsheng also noticed the figure standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
The young man’s eyes darkened.
Yu Xiao Die looked at the man suspiciously and immediately thought, “He’s not simple.”
Gu Zui slowly walked forward, smiling warmly, “Long time no see, Ah Zhui. All these years, I have been thinking of you.”
Tan Zhui smiled, “Me too.”
Yue Shanglan couldn’t help but say, “Hey, are you two going to act all lovey-dovey? Leaving me out?”
Gu Zui immediately said, “I’ve been thinking of Ah Lan too.”
Yue Shanglan snorted, “Too late, I don’t want it.”
Sui Chunsheng watched his master exchanging glances with that guy, at least that’s how he saw it.
The young man’s heart was very unhappy, and he was already wearing a sullen expression.
Yong Lan didn’t notice it and pulled him away. “Little Immortal, Uncle Pei has caught two big birds for us to admire, let’s go see them!”
The five juniors bowed and said goodbye, but Sui Chunsheng was absent-minded throughout.
Yu Xiao Die noticed his displeasure and whispered in his ear, “All these years, I’ve been thinking of you~”
Sui Chunsheng immediately shuddered and glared fiercely at her.
Yu Xiao Die smiled and suddenly said, “Hey, where is the divine lord going?”
The three friends were planning to go to the mountain gate when they unexpectedly bumped into these juniors again.
Yue Shanglan waved his hand at the juniors, “Go and see the big birds.”
“The three of us adults are planning to go down to the mortal realm.”
Yu Xiao Die immediately said, “Down to the mortal realm? Is there some kind of anomaly?”
Tan Zhui said lightly, “Just going to the lower realm for fun.”
Yu Xiao Die’s eyes darted around, “Then take us with you?”
Yue Shanglan: “Why would we take you? You kids, go do what you’re supposed to do.”
Yu Xiao Die: “I’m asking the divine lord.”
She said, looking at the White Deer Immortal.
“Divine Lord, please take us with you. The Little Immortal also wants to go.”
She quickly nudged Sui Chunsheng with her shoulder. “Right?”
Sui Chunsheng glanced at Gu Zui standing behind Tan Zhui and quickly said, “Master, your disciple also wants to go.”
He glanced at Si Feng, “Si Feng also wants to go.”
Si Feng also nodded.
Yong Lan looked surprised, “Huh? Not going to see the big birds anymore?”
Yu Xiao Die rolled her eyes at him, “If you want to see those two silly birds, you go by yourself.”
Yue Shanglan looked at Tan Zhui, “Let’s not take them, right?”
Tan Zhui met the young man’s eyes, lowered his gaze and said, “Alright, let them come along.”
Yue Shanglan looked like he had given up on life, but Yu Xiao Die looked delighted.
The three elders led the four juniors to the mountain gate and boarded the flying luan one after another.
Yu Xiao Die saw the empty space beside Tan Zhui. She quickly looked around, grabbed Sui Chunsheng, and pushed him over.
“You sit here, sit here.”
She was a bit strong, and the young man almost didn’t get seated properly.
Yu Xiao Die sat next to Sui Chunsheng and didn’t forget to urge, “Move over a bit, it’s too crowded here.”
So, under her urging, the master and disciple’s shoulders were pressed tightly together.
Yong Lan hesitated, “Princess, there’s still space over here…”
Yu Xiao Die immediately glared at him, “You just talk too much.”
Yong Lan immediately fell silent, not knowing what he had said wrong.
Tan Zhui couldn’t help but feel his heart tremble. The young man was very close, and he felt the young man’s hot body and the faint fragrance of hibiscus around him.
Perhaps noticing his expression, Gu Zui, who was sitting across from him, said softly, “Ah Zhui, do you want to sit here? It’s more spacious.”
Sui Chunsheng almost subconsciously grabbed Tan Zhui’s sleeve.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Yue Shanglan said helplessly, “Ah Zhui’s disciple has always been clingy since he was young.”
Gu Zui forced a smile, “Is that so.”
Tan Zhui touched the young man’s hair, “I’ll take a nap.”
Sui Chunsheng nodded, took off his own cloak, folded it up, and placed it behind the White Deer Immortal’s head, “Master, sleep.”
Yu Xiao Die whispered, “Little Immortal, you’re such a wife.”
…
Down in the mortal realm, the scene was very different from the heavenly realm.
It was already spring, and everything was lush and green.
After they got off the flying luan, they used magic to change into more suitable clothes.
This was a waterside town, a misty Jiangnan.
Yue Shanglan rented a small boat, and they all sat down to enjoy the scenery on the water.
The juniors weren’t completely useless, and the task of rowing the boat naturally fell to them, saving the money of hiring a boatman.
Yong Lan was rowing haphazardly, relying entirely on Si Feng and Sui Chunsheng.
“Hey! Look, what is that? Big birds?” Yong Lan suddenly said in surprise.
Yu Xiao Die rolled her eyes at him, “What kind of eyes do you have? Those are big white geese.”
Yong Lan was surprised, “It looks like someone on the shore is feeding them. Let’s row over to take a look…”
The small boat moved forward, heading towards the big white geese.
The three adults were drinking tea and chatting idly under the awning of the boat, their voices calm, probably talking about funny things from the past.
The boat approached, and the big white geese flapped their wings, honking a few times unhappily.
Yong Lan had never seen them before and found them strange. He made a “ts ts” sound, “Come on, come on, I’ll give you something good to eat.”
He waved a bag of pork jerky in his hand.
The big white geese seemed to understand and came closer to him.
Yu Xiao Die clicked her tongue, “These big geese aren’t easy to deal with.”
Yong Lan looked at the group of plump geese and said, “It’s fine, they look quite well-behaved.”
Yu Xiao Die ignored him and leaned to the side.
Yong Lan quickly divided the pork jerky in his hands among the others, asking them to feed the big white geese together.
But as soon as these big white geese had a few pieces, they didn’t care about anything and flew onto the boat, rudely going for the bag in Yong Lan’s hands.
Yong Lan was startled, “Go away, go away, you’re so rude.”
But the big white geese were not having any of it now and almost dragged him down.
The boat was even rocked.
The three adults inside the boat also noticed something was wrong, and Yue Shanglan stuck his head out. “What are you doing?”
“Where did these big geese come from?”
The big white geese snatched the pork jerky from everyone’s hands, but they were still not satisfied and went to tear at their clothes.
Yong Lan couldn’t help but yell, “You bunch of rude birds!”
Yu Xiao Die grabbed him, preventing him from being dragged into the water by the goose.
“Why are you so clumsy! I already told you they’re not easy to deal with!”
Yong Lan was startled and grabbed Yu Xiao Die’s arm tightly.
“Easy, you’re an idiot! Grandma’s hair!”
Yong Lan then realized that his fingers were caught in her long hair.
He quickly withdrew his hand, accidentally pulling out a few strands in the panic.
Yu Xiao Die glared fiercely at him, wishing she could kick him down.
Si Feng and Sui Chunsheng on the side used oars to chase them away, and only then did they chase the geese off the boat.
Yue Shanglan: “Let’s go! These white geese are catching up!”
“Aiyah! Row faster! Did you guys not eat breakfast?”
The elegant lake tour was ruined, and the group of fat geese nearly capsized the boat. They quickly docked the boat.
Yue Shanglan climbed onto the shore, gasping for air. He suddenly regretted bringing these juniors along, but then he noticed Wugen, and he couldn’t bring himself to curse.
Gu Zui stood on the shore and reached out to Tan Zhui, “Ah Zhui, be careful.”
Tan Zhui stepped onto the steps and said softly, “It’s fine, the path isn’t steep.”
Gu Zui withdrew his hand. “Ah Zhui always used to fall, so I got used to helping him.”
Yue Shanglan couldn’t help but laugh, “Ah Zhui used to be so clumsy, but now he is the steady White Deer Immortal, incomparable, incomparable.”
Gu Zui: “Yes, it’s not the same anymore.”
Sui Chunsheng’s eyes darkened, and he pretended to slip.
The White Deer Immortal reacted quickly and grabbed his hand.
The young man quickly pulled Tan Zhui’s arm and climbed onto the stone steps.
Finally standing still, the young man feigned fear, “Ah, that was close.”
Tan Zhui: “Be careful, you’re still clumsy.”
Sui Chunsheng chuckled, grabbing his master’s sleeve, “Maybe it’s from being with Master. If I have a few hundred more years, maybe I’ll be steady as well.”
Tan Zhui smiled helplessly and poked his forehead, “I don’t know what to do with you.”
Yu Xiao Die was dumbfounded, “Little Immortal, you really are…”
