The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 114
Thump. Thump. Thump.
His heartbeat was both heavy and slow.
Chu Wanning also blinked. Surprise and joy flashed through his eyes, followed by awkwardness and uneasiness. Elder Yu Heng was indeed Elder Yu Heng. After ten years of being as cold as a day, he was calmer than anyone else when it came to cleaning up his face. Very quickly, he restrained his excessive emotions, as if the person who was disappointed and angry at Mo Ran just now was not him.
“Since you’re not dead, why did you come down?”
As soon as these words left his mouth, Chu Wanning regretted them.
Looking at Mo Ran’s appearance, it was true that he had come to save him. But if Mo Ran had personally said these words to him, Chu Wanning felt that his heart would have stopped beating and he would have been thrown into chaos.
In his nervousness, he had forgotten that he was already dead. How could he still have a heart?
But Mo Ran stared straight at him and did not say such a thing.
He probably understood that if he said “I came for you”, it would make Chu Wanning feel awkward and helpless.
So he muttered to himself for a moment, then finally pursed his lips. Instead, he lowered his eyelashes and asked gently, “Shizun, guess why I came down?”
“… You came down to look for trouble.”
“When did Shizun change his name to ‘uneasiness’?” Mo Ran laughed. “You didn’t even tell me.”
Chu Wanning seemed to be pricked by his gentleness, which he had never shown before. He quickly withdrew his hand, embarrassed and angry. “Nonsense, how impudent.”
Mo Ran finally discovered a secret.
He realized that Chu Wan-ning’s anger was just a facade. This person was too awkward. He would rather cover his face with this baring and brandishing of claws and fangs, covering all the waves below, whether they were gentle, happy, happy, bashful, or sad.
So stupid.
Chu Wanning was stupid. He had worn a mask his entire life and did not find it tiring.
He was also stupid. He had only realized it after living two lifetimes.
But after saying these words, the atmosphere was no longer as heavy as before. Chu Wanning’s four souls had been found, and he was reborn.
Mo Ran was in a good mood. He grabbed onto Chu Wanning and wouldn’t let go. He rambled on and on about why he had come to Hell, and about Grandmaster Huaizui. He couldn’t help but stop when he got to certain things. He waited for the lump in his throat to dissipate before he continued with reddened eyes. The three words that appeared the most in his explanation were “I’m sorry”.
Chu Wanning really didn’t know what to say.
He treated others well, not because he wanted to use this kindness to exchange for something, but because he was afraid that others would accept his kindness and feel uneasy from then on.
In fact, he was afraid that his hot-blooded heart and lungs would be casually put aside by the other party, and would cool down.
Therefore, even though he was open and aboveboard, he had always been secretive about being kind to others.
He had worn a mask all his life.
But one day, the person he liked reached out her hand and plucked the thick ink of anger from his face, as if she had plucked off his crab shell.
He stood there in a daze, suddenly not knowing what to do.
While he was lost in thought, Mo Ran had already knelt down in front of him, one hand still holding onto his hand, as if he was afraid that he would disappear.
Chu Wanning had an absurd and shameful thought for a moment.
This disciple of his had always been bold and reckless, and he didn’t play by the rules. He suddenly felt that Mo Ran wanted to do something when he suddenly held his hand and treated him like this.
“…” He was a little frightened by his own thoughts. His expression became gloomier and gloomier. He didn’t know what kind of expression to face this, so he could only habitually remain aloof.
But Mo Ran didn’t do anything. He just held onto him like he was holding onto a lost treasure.
This was the person he had abandoned in his previous life.
“Shizun.”
After letting go of all his hatred, he knelt in front of him. He was sincere, respectful, and even passionate.
“I was wrong in the past. In the future, I will do whatever you say. I just want you to be well.” Perhaps it was because of his deep affection, although Mo Ran was still smiling, his eyes were a little wet. “Come back with me. Okay? ”
Chu Wanning didn’t speak. His face was as calm as water, but his heart was burning.
“Shizun.”
The youth’s voice was very gentle, soft, and carried some lingering charm of youth.
When Mo Ran hated someone, it was true hatred.
But if he wanted to treat someone well, he had to treat them well from the bottom of his heart.
He had always been stubborn and extreme.
“Come back with me. Promise me, okay?”
Chu Wanning still didn’t move. He only looked at him lightly, thinking about something.
Mo Ran was afraid that he would be unhappy, so although he was sad, he still had a smile on his face. He tried his best not to embarrass himself and make things difficult for his Shizun. He pulled his hand and shook it, teasing him, “If Shizun is willing, just nod your head.”
“… …”
Mo Ran was afraid that he wouldn’t nod his head, so he thought about it and said, “I’ll count to three, okay?”
“… …”
“If Shizun doesn’t say anything, I’ll take it that you agree.” Mo Ran said uneasily but gently. After a pause, he slowly counted.
“One, two, three.”
But Chu Wanning was like a person who had been frozen for a long time. When he was suddenly put into warm water, he didn’t feel warm, but pain.
In the past, no one cared about him, so he didn’t feel uncomfortable when he was cold. However, once someone treated him well and wrapped him up in warmth, he finally had the right to feel pain. Suddenly, every inch of his flesh and blood hurt, and every inch of his skin was chapped and cracked.
Only then did he feel the pain.
His fingertips trembled slightly in Mo Ran’s gradually sweaty palm.
When Mo Ran saw that he didn’t say anything, he became more and more nervous. He was afraid that he was disheartened and didn’t want to return to the world of the living.
But he didn’t dare to move. He was afraid that if he moved, Chu Wanning would abandon him and leave. He maintained a warm smile and said, “I counted too quickly just now. You probably weren’t ready. I’ll count again.”
“One, two, three.”
Chu Wanning, “… …”
Mo Ran’s Adam’s apple moved. He was also trembling. He was almost smiling as he begged, “Shizun, did you hear that?”
Chu Wanning’s phoenix eyes finally seemed to have some spirit, but he still looked blank. He stared at Mo Ran’s face without any expression.
“I’ll count again slowly. I’m afraid you can’t hear me.” Mo Ran said, “One, two, three.”
“… …”
“I’ll count one last time … …”
“One, two, three.”
“Really, this is the last time.”
“One, two, three … …”
Chu Wan-ning seemed to emotionlessly look at the person kneeling in front of her, counting one, two, three, three, three like a fool, as if repeating this over and over again could turn back time, make withered trees bloom, and bring old friends back to life.
The disciple in front of him stubbornly and stubbornly counted. It was as if he was counting his sins and counting how well his shizun had treated him.
When he reached the end of the count, his voice was trembling and his smile was panicked.
“Shizun.”
Mo Ran looked up. His eyes were red, but he had already caused Chu Wanning to be in such a state. He didn’t want to cry in front of Chu Wanning who was sober and make his shizun sad.
So he endured it and continued to smile as he negotiated with him in a relaxed tone.
“I’ll count one more time. Just pay attention to me, okay?”
Chu Wanning felt as if her heart was being stabbed by a knife by his sudden pleading.
He was almost trembling as he tried to pull his hand away from Mo Ran’s fingertips.
But this time, Mo Ran held him tightly and wouldn’t let go no matter what he said.
The young man stared at him firmly and slowly without blinking. He was as stubborn as a dog.
He said, “One, two, … …”
All of a sudden, a flurry of footsteps, shouts, and curses could be heard coming from the outside. Chu Wanning raised her head and gazed into the distance, only to see a sea of lanterns burning brightly downstairs. An army of Yin soldiers was rushing straight towards them.
Rong Jiu finally found the opportunity to tell.
“Over there! Upstairs! Upstairs! ”
“Catch that little thief!”
“This is rebellion, this is rebellion!”
The world was turned upside down in panic. Torches and ghosts rolled in from afar like a tide, wanting to devour the two of them and throw them into the Infernal Hell, never to be reincarnated.
Mo Ran didn’t look back. At that moment, he held Chu Wanning’s hand and suddenly felt very calm.
Although Chu Wanning wasn’t his lover, he was someone he loved, respected, loved him, and treated him well. He looked at him, his heart was calm.
Chu Wanning scolded him, “Are you out of your mind?! What are you still standing there for? ”
As he spoke, he grabbed Mo Ran’s hand and pulled him up from the ground. Under the flickering lights, his eyes were burning, no different from when he was alive. Chu Wanning frowned and said angrily, “Let’s go!”
Mo Ran was stunned, “Us?”
Chu Wanning was furious, “Who else could it be?!”
Mo Ran was in a daze. He trembled and closed his eyes, then opened them again. Then, he suddenly smiled. That smile was very beautiful. His eyes were still stained with mist, like a flower dipped in dew, beautiful and boundless.
He finally, finally breathed a sigh of relief and tightly held Chu Wanning’s fingers.
Ten fingers intertwined.
He pressed against Chu Wanning’s forehead and said softly and solemnly, “Three.”
“What three! Let’s go! ”
Mo Ran finally turned around when he saw the endless horde of ghosts chasing after them. He exclaimed in panic, “Master, create a barrier to block them off first! Then I’ll send you into the Spirit Guiding Lamp! ”
“It won’t.”
“… What?!” Mo Ran was dumbstruck.
Chu Wanning’s face was cold, but he was still a little embarrassed. He said angrily, “If I still had my mana, how could I be trapped in this broken cage?”
“… …”
Come on.
Chu Wanning’s soul was missing “cultivation”.
Because the soul was kept in the Spirit Guiding Lamp, it was necessary to chant an incantation without being disturbed. Although it did not take long, it was impossible in the current situation. Mo Ran could only pull Chu Wanning and run.
Fortunately, although Chu Wanning had lost his cultivation, he still had his skills. He would not be a burden to Mo Ran. The two of them ran, and behind them was an endless stream of ghost soldiers. When they reached the entrance of the main hall, Chu Wanning asked, “Do you know the way?”
Mo Ran said, “No, I don’t.”
Chu Wanning, “… …”
Mo Ran was not discouraged. He pointed at the tall palace wall, “Go up there, you can see more clearly.”
Fortunately, Chu Wanning had a solid foundation in qinggong. Even without the support of his cultivation, he could still fly over the roof and vault over the wall. He stepped on the roof tiles and looked down to see the horde of angry zombies rushing over. He said to Mo Ran, “Summon the ghost!”
Mo Ran did as he was told. Their palms brushed against each other, and a dazzling scarlet radiance shot out like the tongue of a soaring serpent. The crimson willow leaves swayed, and the Divine Martial Willow Vines coiled around his feet.
“Spiritual energy over five miles into the Qu Chi, gather in Shang Yang, and draw it down.”
Whoosh!
Chu Wanning suddenly thought of something and added, “Don’t pour in too much spiritual energy.”
Mo Ran was startled when he heard this, but it was too late to withdraw his power.
There was a loud bang, and the moment the flying snake was flung out, heavenly fire exploded like a soaring dragon swallowing and spitting fire. It roared from Mo Ran’s palm to the horde of zombies. The blazing tongue of fire almost burned the entire corridor, carrying the fire to move the starland, rising clouds out of the cauldron lake. Almost in the blink of an eye, the dozens of soldiers at the front were burned clean along with the bricks, tiles, and plants!
Chu Wanning, “… …”
Mo Ran, “… …”
“Didn’t I tell you to pour in less spiritual energy!” Chu Wanning frowned and said angrily.
“When you said that, I was already … …” Mo Ran suddenly remembered that he could not talk back to his master and had to be respectful. He resentfully shut up and said, “Master is right.”
“Forget it.” Chu Wanning flicked his sleeves, “It’s my fault for speaking too late.”
Mo Ran was stunned. So if he wanted his master to admit defeat, he only needed to take the blame first?
He blinked and could not help but laugh.
Chu Wanning glanced at him, “What are you laughing at? Why are you still here?”
