Holding Onto My Man

CHAPTER 23: FANTASY CINNABAR MOLE

There’s a connection between Qin Shitian and Nie Qingcang, or maybe they are simply the same person, because no matter how the physical body changes, that feeling from the soul is the only one of its kind.

With this conclusion, Gu Bai can’t understand his current mood, moved? happy? Or something else? He doesn’t know, because his heart still doesn’t beat. There’s only a feeling that’s like being in a very good mood.

Perhaps it’s not as complicated as he thinks. It might be a coincidence, it just so happened that that person reincarnated, and they happened to meet again. It’s as simple as that.

He already said that he doesn’t have a heart, so after a brief thought, Gu Bai calmed down. He doesn’t know what the future will be like, but now he’s only a passerby in these worlds, so the first priority is to complete the task.

Ah Jiu’s wish is to protect Mozong’s sect leader. Before, he had to be by Qin Shitian’s side because of his low ability, but now with the help of the mysterious master, his cultivation directly upgraded to the highest cultivation level.

Therefore, even if he isn’t by Qin Shitian’s side, he can still do his task of protecting Qin Shitian very well. Gu Bai calmly accepted his demotion to the Weapons Hall.

The Weapons Hall, as its name suggests, is the place where Mozong refines its weapons.

The refining of weapons in this fantasy world is completely different from the mortal world’s forging, it uses the body’s inner spiritual energy to create weapons. In addition to sharpness, the refined weapons will also have some spiritual attacks, it’s very amazing.

Of course, this kind of weapon isn’t easy to make, the process is very complicated and hard, so working in the Weapons Hall is the most tiring place in Mozong.

Therefore, there are no women in the Weapons Hall and all the disciples are those 180cm burly chaps. A thin and little boy like Gu Bai who suddenly popped up is as conspicuous as a crane standing among chickens.

At the beginning, Gu Bai was teased and laughed by everyone for looking like a weak chicken, but he quickly won the worship and respect of everyone with more than ten good weapons produced monthly.

It must be known that other than the hallmaster, no one can accomplish this achievement.

At the Weapons Hall, Gu Bai refines weapons during the day and rests or lurks around Mozong at night. Paying attention to Qin Shitian while also paying attention to Mo Haige’s movement, life is very busy.

In the blink of an eye, three years passed.

In the past three years, Gu Bai stayed vigilant to the activity of the task object while enriching himself. He lurked at Mozong’s library and used his current powerhouse brain gifted with extraordinary retentive memory to look through a bunch of miscellaneous secret manuals and learned a lot.

He believes that these things imprinted in his mind will certainly be useful for his future tasks, it does no harm to him.

The only thing that is a little regrettable is that Mozong’s top secret manual is inside Qin Shitian’s space ring. Gu Bai won’t be able to get it for the time being.

In three years, Gu Bai is like a fish in water* not only in the Weapons Hall, but also in the entire Mozong. He has a fixed status because of his excellent refining skills.

*someone who performs well in a certain situation, making it seem like they were meant to be in that environment.

The quality of the weapon in this world is determined by the spiritual energy of the refiner. The stronger the refiner, the more powerful the weapon is.

With the help of the mysterious master, those who can defeat him in this world with his current cultivation can be counted with one hand, the weapons he refined are top products.

However, as a powerhouse, they all have their arrogance and won’t casually give people their refined weapons. Furthermore, powerhouses have their own matters to do and don’t have that much effort and time to waste like Gu Bai.

Of course, aside from powerhouses, there are also talented geniuses who can refine magic weapons. In order to hide his cultivation, Gu Bai naturally chose the aura of a refining genius.

In this way, as Gu Bai expected, the reputation of his refining talent was like a loud thunder that sounded on a sunny day. It quickly became a sensation in the entire Mozong. Everyone in the sect, including the elders and the hallmasters, couldn’t help but ask him for a handy weapon. They give him lots of face when they meet.

However, Mo Haige’s prestige in Mozong is gradually declining.

Since the day he rejected and injured Qin Shitian, Qin Shitian seems to have awakened and is no longer so obsessed with him.

Although he still attached great importance to him, after all, this is the youth that he raised for so many years and is an apprentice who he carefully taught, but the gaze he used to look at Mo Haige gradually lost it’s passion.

His daily meals doesn’t need Mo Haige’s company. When Mo Haige is practicing martial arts, he doesn’t watch from the sidelines. When other party makes a mistake, he doesn’t spoil and protect him, unwilling to beat and scold like in the past, but gave stern lessons instead. Even Mo Haige’s yearly grand birthday celebration was cancelled.

According to Qin Shitian’s character, this behavior clearly meant that a separation from Mo Haige emerged. The subordinates in the sect realized this all at once.

Other than his face, Mo Haige was born ordinarily talented. If Qin Shitian didn’t taught him personally and gave him the best secret manuals for cultivation, he would just be a regular disciple in Mozong.

Now Qin Shitian doesn’t care about him anymore. He doesn’t teach him and doesn’t give him the wealth of heaven and earth’s cultivation panacea. His cultivation naturally started to slow down. Without great power and Qin Shitian’s favor, this little sect leader really doesn’t quite live up to his name.

However, Mo Haige is indifferent in nature and doesn’t feel anything. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief thanks to Qin Shitian’s alienation. He unexpectedly developed a little bit of gentleness that he never had before towards Qin Shitian.

This made Gu Bai can’t help but secretly mutter that this Mo Haige must be a masochistic madman. He didn’t like Qin Shitian when he was good to him, but now he’s happy that Qin Shitian is cold to him. He can’t understand this at all.

Anyway, the weaker the feelings between Qin Shitian and Mo Haige become, the closer it is to his intentions......

On this day, the solar terms already passed white dew*, but because of Mozong’s geographical location, the weather inside the sect is still hot like summer.

*White Dew, 15th of the 24 solar terms: 8th-22nd September

After Gu Bai finished refining weapons and came out from the Weapons Hall, he ordered the servant to prepare bath water. This is his daily habit.

Now that his status in Mozong is not low, the treatment is of course different. Not only does he have his own coutyard, but also a dozen of servants to wait on him.

Having great power, it’s much easier to complete the task this time. With confidence in his grasp, Gu Bai completely treat the mission this time as a vacation trip. It feels so good to be served by other people.

However, Gu Bai is still not used to others staring at him when taking a bath, so he will order the servants to withdraw before he starts to slowly take of his clothes and prepare to enter the bathtub.

Now this body is also 18 years old. It can’t be said to have matured much, but he already grew. His appearance is still delicate and pretty, but because of cultivation, the skin is very good and there’s a special tempting taste to it.

So when he took off his clothes and revealed his fair and tender body, the eyes of a man who was hiding in the dark peeping at him darkened....

Qin Shitian who was hiding in the corner felt his heart burst into flames.

The youth’s skin is fair and exquisite. Under the hot water’s rising steam, a moist lustrous sheen suffused, looking like a tempting glass of milk, making people can’t help but want to take a sip.

When the other person occasionally got up, that round and perky butt would face him—fair, tender and bouncy. So dazzling to the point that his mouth went dry and it was difficult to breathe.

Soaking in the hot water with a pair of pure eyes that are slightly closed, his expression of being engrossed in comfort is very languid and attractive, making people unable to move their eyes away....

Since that stolen kiss from three years ago, he couldn’t help but pay more attention to Gu Bai, which then became out of control.

This boy is obviously very ordinary and not as good looking as his disciple. His figure also isn’t as sexy and seductive as the sect’s demonesses, but he just somewhat can’t control himself from looking at him.

After discovering the boy’s habit of bathing every day, he also couldn’t refrain from running over and hiding in the dark to peep.

Damn it! Benzun actually did such a shameful thing!

Qin Shitian couldn’t help but feel annoyed, but his eyes still stared at the languid person soaking comfortably in the bathtub. That boy really knows how to enjoy himself, there’s even wine placed next to the bathtub.

The other person stretched out his long and slender fingers to pick up the gold wine jar filled with fine wine and slowly poured it into his mouth, the movement was unspeakably attractive.

When the wine went down his throat, his eyes closed subtly and his red lips opened gently, he breathed out a hot breath that carried the scent of wine, and both cheeks were stained with a layer of blush. This boy who should be described with the word lovely was very bewitching at this very moment. Even that delicate and pretty face became more radiant....

If he didn’t peep in the dark, he won’t have guessed that this boy who is well-mannered when talking in the sect and also loyal, obedient and foolish in front of him would be so tempting in private.

Sure enough, there are no naive and stupid people in Mozong.

That day, Gu Bai was able to sneak into his bedchamber under the presence of his devil guards. He still can’t figure it out.

Being able to do that kind of action shows that the spiritual cultivation of that boy definitely isn’t low, he can almost rival him. Exactly who is this boy? What’s the purpose of hiding in Mozong?

These problems raised doubts in Qin Shitian’s heart and he unconsciously started to pay more attention to Gu Bai.

Just going along with the change of time, even he himself didn’t realize that these problems have already been thrown to the back of his mind. Instead, the boy’s body and face occupied all his thoughts. Every night, he dreams of enticing images.....

When Gu Bai finished bathing and got dressed, he licked his lips and finally left with reluctance, looking forward to the arrival of this same time tomorrow.

The moment he was leaving, he didn’t notice the boy’s faint smile. Gu Bai stared at the hiding spot and couldn’t help but once again secretly scold in his heart: perverted madman.

With his current cultivation, how can he not be aware of Qin Shitian’s peeping, especially when the man is so enchanted every time he looks. The flaws were already revealed long ago, it’s just that he didn’t expose it.

As long as Qin Shitian is no longer obsessed with Mo Haige, his task will become much easier to complete.

As for this object of obsession, it was replaced by himself. Gu Bai was a little surprised. His body this time isn’t as beautiful as the previous world’s Lu Rongqing, and it is even more incomparable to Mo Haige’s peerless beauty.

Now Qin Shitian actually took a fancy to him. In the end, is the other party’s eyesight too bad or is his charm too great? Or did that person reincarnated and still have feelings for him? After all, when he left the previous world, that man’s eyes looked madly in love, it even made a heartless person like him somewhat concerned.

Thinking of this, Gu Bai’s gaze wavered, he suddenly raised his head and laughed, then he shook his head: Why care about this? Sure enough, this task is too easy and boring! Better complete it.

After bathing, he estimated the time. He changed into a night dress after dinner and lurked in the secret chamber where sacred items are placed.

The plot already arrived at this moment. A few days ago, Mo Haige went out to perform a task and returned. The eyebrows that have always been indifferent finally softened a little and the corners of his eyes carried delight, looking like a person who encountered spring*.

*love

Without a doubt, Mo Haige already met Jun Yanhan during the task and the two of them have decided to be together forever. Now Mo Haige returned to the sect to steal Mozong’s most valuable treasure, ready to rest and fly together* with his lover!

*to rest and fly together (idiom)

to live in each other’s pockets; to be inseparable

In order to complete the task, other than making Qin Shitian no longer obsessed with Mo Haige and willing to let go, it’s also very important to stop Jun Yanhan from getting Mozong’s most valuable treasure to become a powerhouse. He must prevent it.
