This Damned Thirst for Survival

Lian Xue's eyes are pleading and she can't stop the tears from flowing.

She has known everything that has happened since the last time she was ordered by the Fates to attack Jiang Luo.

Lian Xue has experienced the pain of having her world fall apart all over again, and she doesn't want her senior sisters to suffer along with her. She doesn't understand what her elders are thinking and doing, but as the eldest sister, she wants to protect her siblings.

Her pleading eyes, Lian Bing's frantic look, the screams of the others and the blood flowing everywhere were all in the eyes of Daoist Master Wei He.

Wei He The Taoist priest's heart was growing shaky.

As soon as Jiang Luo saw the look on Wei He's face, he knew he was being tortured in his mind. It would have been better if the torture had been more severe, to clear Wei He's mind of all the water.

He didn't care, and after asking the beaver to stand by and watch and not interfere, he went back to his room and finished the beef noodles with no soup left.

In the evening, Jiang Luo asked for all the things he had brought with him from the Moulin Rouge. But Yuan Tianzhu had already been taken by Chi You, except for his mobile phone and wallet.

Even though he knew Chi You would never let go of the opportunity to take Yuan Tianzhu, Jiang Luo couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Dogs, I can't believe I took my trophy without saying anything.

Chi You has now fused three Yuan Tianzhu, the last of which is hidden by Jiang Luo at Bai Hua University.

Chi You had something to take care of and went to another room. Jiang Luo called Wen Renlian while he was alone, just as there was still a weak signal in the house.

Jiang Luo wasted no time in telling Wen Renlian everything that had happened in the past two days, "Wen Ren, do two things for me."

Wen Renlian asked, "What is it?"

"First thing, help me see if Ji Yaozi has gone back to the funeral parlour and find out more about Ji Yaozi's life for me."

Wen Renlian said boldly, "No problem."

"Secondly, help me find out where the Fatalist has escaped to," Jiang Luo paused, "just do your best, after all, he must be hiding in a very secluded place to heal now that he has been seriously injured."

Wen Renlian: "Are you going to kill him while he's sick?"

"That's right," Jiang Luo said generously, "I can't let this opportunity slip by when I'm in a good position."

Wen Renlian thought about it and said matter-of-factly, " Jiang Luo, although I have many contacts, the matter of checking the whereabouts of the predestined person is still a bit difficult. Why don't you turn to the state as opposed to me helping you find it?"

Jiang Luo was stunned, and then began to think about the possibilities of this approach.

Wen Renlian is busy with the Research Bureau these days, apart from being at school. With the change of time, he is getting more and more confident about the strength of the country, "We are now in the Research Bureau, and you are the head of the Research Bureau, and you are responsible for the matters of the metaphysical community. Since the predictions of the predestined man are related to the future of the metaphysical community, they are within our responsibility. Whether the prophecy of the Fatalist is true or false, it is still very involved and we must catch him and find out the facts. The state will not stand by and do nothing, as long as the reasons are given. And the state is much better at finding people than I am."

Jiang Luo's eyes grew bright as he murmured, "That makes sense."

The Predestined Man was already sort of disturbing the peace of the metaphysical community after all he had done to hide his true purpose, and Jiang Luo could go searching for him openly and honestly.

The more he thought about it, the more he thought the idea was feasible and Jiang Luo was instantly excited.

If the state could help, not to mention finding the predestined man, it could also find all of the predestined man's followers and completely cut off the source of his offerings.

What's even better is that he is the head of the Scientific Research Bureau and can represent the country, while Chi You represents the ghost world. If Jiang Luo and Chi You join forces, won't the Fatalists have no way to escape?

"I'll write a report tomorrow," Jiang Luo said, "We can't delay this matter. The Predestined One has turned the occult world upside down in order to become a god, and he is more dangerous than Chi You. If I kill him, I can stop Chi You from destroying the occult world, and then the occult world will be completely at peace."

Wen Renlian agrees, "That's right."

After talking about business, Wen Renlian joked with a smile, "How does it feel to be lovers with Chi You?"

When Jiang Luo talks to Wen Renlian about becoming lovers with Chi You, he focuses on explaining why he said yes. He talks about the limitations of the Yin-Yang ring and the sacrifice of his body to feed the ghosts in a righteous manner, without mentioning his own feelings. He doesn't know why he had to explain so much, but Jiang Luo hurriedly changes the subject after he has finished, not wanting to continue talking about it with Wen Renlian.

When Wen Renlian asked him about this topic again, Jiang Luo felt a little vague and said vaguely, "That's all, you know we had a falling out once, and shaking hands was like shaking the right hand with the left hand, I didn't feel anything."

Wen Renlian was not convinced, "Really?"

He feels that Jiang Luo's attitude towards Chi You is different from what he says. Wen Renlian no longer rejects Jiang Luo and Chi You after he learns that Jiang Luo absorbed half of the power of the host's offerings and that Chi You saved Jiang Luo's life.

Wen Renlian They don't really hate Chi You. They feel uncomfortable and unfamiliar with Chi You, who has become an evil spirit. They are also wary of Chi You because Chi You and Jiang Luo are different from each other.

But now that Jiang Luo is not necessarily human, there is no need to worry that they will be different. Wen Renlian, who is not in the habit of beating up lovebirds, asks this question in order to test Jiang Luo's feelings towards Chi You.

Jiang Luo feigned full concern and said, "Really. I'll break up with him once we solve the Fatal Man and get Chi You to give up the idea of destroying the metaphysical community."

Wen Renlian pondered for a moment, thinking that Jiang Luo was scrupulous about them, "You don't have to be like that, Jiang Luo. If you still like him, we can accept that too. You are not an ordinary human now, and if you have a life expectancy beyond the normal one in the future, being with Chi You is obviously the best option for you."

Jiang Luo was adamant: "No, we'll break up."

Hearing the firmness in his tone, Wen Renlian shrugged, "Well, then I'll wait for the day you break up."

After the call hung up, Jiang Luo was in a daze. He gets up and goes out to ask Teng Bi for a laptop to write his report, but as he walks, he comes to his new lover's door.

He stood still before reacting and was about to leave as if nothing had happened when the door to the room was opened abruptly and Ge Wuchen reached behind him with a smile, "Master Jiang, the master invites you in."

Jiang Luo's feet stiffened, then he walked into the room without changing his face.

The handsome evil spirit was sitting at his desk when he saw Jiang Luo and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Did you miss me?"

Jiang Luo: "...... I just went to the wrong room."

But come on in, Jiang Luo has a thick skin, he naturally pulls up a chair and sits down, "What are you plotting?"

By virtue of his status as a lover, he asked as a matter of course.

Ge Wuchen smiles but does not say anything.

Chi You tapped his fingers gracefully on the table and smiled, " Ge Wuchen ."

Ge Wuchen immediately said, "Master Jiang, we were talking about a plan to deal with the Fatalist. Now that the Fatalist is seriously injured, it is time to advance our plan."

Jiang Luo, half treating himself as an outsider, asked curiously, "What's the plan?"

"The Predestined One has run off somewhere, we are activating all our manpower to investigate the Predestined One's whereabouts," Ge Wuchen smiled faintly, "in addition to this, have also taken control of the Predestined One's devotees we have, cutting off most of his sources of offerings, and in addition to this, are manipulating the believers to try to pry out the location of the Predestined Man."

Their plans and Jiang Luo's intentions coincide perfectly.

Jiang Luo came to his senses, "So."

He was beginning to sympathise with the Predestined. Think about it, the small number of remaining believers who had managed to escape the clutches of Chi You were caught out again by the state, and after two waves of screwing, not a blade of grass was left standing.

Ge Wuchen, although trying to hide it, was emotional, "We've been laying out for so long, and finally the day has come to close."

Chi You's face was unruffled, his eyes deep, "I don't want to see any surprises at the last moment."

Ge Wuchen caught his breath and immediately calmed down, putting his hands together in front of his chest and saying, "Amitabha Buddha, don't worry, Master. Liao Si and I have made all sorts of preparations, and because we are worried that a two-pronged approach is not safe, Li Sha will also be following us in these days."

After the briefing, Ge Wuchen had some business to attend to and he left the place in a hurry. Jiang Luo sat in his chair with his legs crossed and rubbed his chin in thought, "Do you think the predestined will hide in Chang Baishan ?"

After all, the Predestined One has been on Chang Baishan for decades, and although it would be more dangerous to hide on Chang Baishan at a time like this, it cannot be ruled out that the Predestined One would want to do the opposite. Although he has lost half of his power, he is still a false god, and if he sets up a formation, I fear that no one but Chi You will be able to find any trace of the Fatal Man on Chang Baishan.

Chi You stood up, his tall figure lengthening its shadow as he took a step towards Jiang Luo, "Perhaps."

Jiang Luo is still thinking hard about the fatalist's escape route, "He could have gone somewhere else, there are three more caves, he can't have only one way out, Chang Baishan."

Chi You had walked up to him, bent down, propped one hand on the back of Jiang Luo's chair and laughed low, "Maybe."

Jiang Luo, who was caught off guard by his silhouette: "......"

Jiang Luo smiled at Chi You as if nothing had happened and got up from his chair to duck away, "It's late at night, time to go to bed."

Chi You slowly raised himself up and looked at him meaningfully, "Together."

At night, Jiang Luo slept with Chi You. It was the first time they had shared a bed without having sex and Jiang Luo was uncomfortable at first. He thought he was going to have a sleepless night, but he overestimated himself and within half an hour he was completely asleep.

At two o'clock in the morning, Jiang Luo was suddenly awakened by pain.

His pain is becoming less frequent and he is increasingly able to keep his wits about him in the midst of it. But even so, Jiang Luo rolls around in bed in pain.

There were no lights in the room and when Jiang Luo first started to get out of sorts, Chi You used brute force to forcefully pin Jiang Luo to the bed, clutching Jiang Luo's hands to prevent him from hurting himself. Jiang Luo gritted his teeth as blood spilled from his mouth and he groaned in pain, "I'm in so much pain."

Teeth knocked together, the sound amplified a million times.

Probably late at night deepens one's vulnerability and pain. Jiang Luo was in so much pain this time that tears were coming out of his eyes. He didn't want to know what he was doing and what his image was like, and he struggled desperately to try to offset the pain inside his body with other pains.

Chi You clutches both of his wrists with one hand and squeezes Jiang Luo's movements like a mountain. He plucks away Jiang Luo's clenched lips and thrusts his fingers forcefully into Jiang Luo's lips.

Jiang Luo took a deadly bite the next second.

His fuzzy sanity told him that it was Chi You's finger, cold as a popsicle.

Chi You is a stone statue and will not be chewed up, so he can bite without fear.

Jiang Luo bites at Chi You's fingers to vent the pain, and faintly he hears the sound of "zipping" in his ears. It seemed quick, but it seemed long, and as Jiang Luo's sweat drenched the sheets, the pain finally subsided.

Jiang Luo gradually became sober.

He gasped and tried to release his teeth and push Chi You's fingers out with his tongue. But as soon as his tongue touched it, Jiang Luo suddenly sensed something was wrong.

The touch is not a finger.

A sense of foreboding welled up in him and he looked down.

Chi You pulled his finger out of his mouth, and the evil spirit's originally pale and slender finger had turned into a miserable white bone.

The flesh and blood that had not turned to bone continued to corrode and smoke from the parts of Jiang Luo's mouth that were stained with blood.

Jiang Luo is staring at Chi You's hand.

What's going on here?

Chi You wiped the blood off his fingers without a care in the world, and soon only the bones of his hand were restored to their original state.

Jiang Luo asked in a dry voice, "What's wrong with your hand?"

"You are in the process of demigodization," Chi You said lightly, "the blood will heavenly restrain all kinds of evil spirits."

Jiang Luo is still staring at his fingers, his face shifting from one look to the next, and finally freezing into an ugly scowl.

Teng Bi knocked on the door outside, "Master, I have brought Taoist Master Wei He with me."

Chi You took out a handkerchief and wiped Jiang Luo's lips, but the blood soon soaked the handkerchief, making it dirtier and dirtier. He repeated the wiping several times, then suddenly threw the handkerchief away with a violent gesture and said in a grim tone, "Come in."

Teng Bi dragged Daoist Master Wei He in, who looked tired and had bloodshot eyes, and did not say a word as he was dragged to the bedside.

After checking, Daoist Master Wei He frowned and said, "I suggest that the body be quenched as soon as possible, otherwise this will be harmful to the body after all."

Jiang Luo rinsed his mouth to clear the taste of blood from his mouth, "You have a method?"

Taoist Master Wei He was silent for a moment, his fist slowly clenching as he and Jiang Luo looked at each other, the wavering in their eyes turning into determination, "The Dragon Vein."

To be able to say this means that Daoist Master Wei He has come to his senses. Jiang Luo couldn't help but smile and go back to thinking about knowledge related to dragon veins.

A dragon vein is an undulating mountain range that flutters and twists like a dragon.

If we talk about dragon veins, Chang Baishan also has a dragon vein.

Jiang Luo Dao: " Chang Baishan ......"

Taoist Master Wei He took a deep breath and nodded, "The fact that the Fatalist can become a false god is also related to the Chang Baishan Dragon Veins. The dragon veins are places where spiritual energy gathers and have always been considered feng shui treasures. There is a place in the dragon vein where the eye of the dragon has the essence of the mountain range, that thing can help you to quench your body, if there is no accident, when you use what is in the eye of the dragon, it is possible that you can also become a Pseudo-God."

But Jiang Luo doesn't want to be a false god.

He wants to be powerful, but he is not interested in becoming a god, and he hates "false gods" because of his destiny. He would rather become a ghost like Chi You than a guardian of the occult world.

But Wei He Daoist's words were quickly brought back to him.

Jiang Luo thought for a moment, "Chi You, you have been laying the groundwork before, but you didn't take on the Destined One. Apart from the fact that the Fated One is too strong, does it also have something to do with Chang Baishan's Dragon Vein? You can't get into the Dragon Vein?"

"A dragon vein with dragon energy can certainly suppress evil spirits," said Taoist Master Wei He coldly, "but if it's a dead vein, it won't be half as effective against evil spirits."
