Chapter 19

A lot of his forgotten memories came flooding in. His head was so painful it seemed like it was splitting open. Ling Xia’s eyes shot wide open and he was gasping for breath. His face was soaking wet, but he didn’t know if its from tears or sweat.

He struggled to hold onto Da Bai’s neck, pulling Da Bai’s head closer: “Da Bai…stop…..they aren’t enemies.”

Da Bai was confused for a moment, but it gradually lessened its flying speed. Ah Li raises its blazing paws all of a sudden and leaped in front of them.

Ling Xia took out a handkerchief kept inside his clothes and wiped his face. He then breaths in air until he finally calmed down. He said with a smile: “Xiao Hu, Ah Li.”

Song Xiao Hu stared in awe as he looked at Ling Xia from head to toe. His mouth was left hanging open and he was absentminded for a while before he uttered: “Big brother Ling…..”

“Xiao Hu.” Ling Xia greeted him with a gentle smile: “It’s been a while.”

Ah Li glared at Da Bai with its fangs bared. Da Bai recognized its nemesis but with their strength now far apart, it didn’t have the courage anymore to step up. Da Bai could only stood its ground in a defensive stance while cowering.

Ling Xia can’t help but chuckle when he noticed that Da Bai was shaking. Da Bai was formerly following Chu Yin, but now, Da Bai is following him. Who could have thought that it would turn out this way.

He quickly gestured at Ah Li: “Ah Li, Da Bai is not an enemy. No need to be cautious.” He then stroke Da Bai at the neck to calm it down.

However, as the two of them stand before their beloved master, Da Bai and Ah Li eyed each other like they were rivals, leaving Ling Xia helpless.

Having a talk midair is really not the appropriate place, so he said to Song Xiao Hu while pointing towards the ground: “Xiao Hu, let’s go down and have a chat.”

It was plain to see that Song Xiao Hu was stirred with emotions. He was staring distractedly before he would give a reaction. Ah Li was unwilling to fly behind Da Bai so it swoop past them and flew down first. Da Bai was enraged by that and catches up quickly.

Ling Xia stared at the back of the lord protagonist that was brimming with heroism. It made him feel deeply proud. And now, Ah Li’s form had reach a transcended level. It looks like Song Xiao Hu became more awesome from all those years that passed.

Right as they were about to reach the ground, Ah Li had landed on top of a hill first. When Da Bai reaches the ground as well, it folded its wings and transformed back in its chick form. Da Bai lightly perches on Ling Xia’s shoulder and rubbed its head intimately to his face.

Ah Li also reverted back to its small form. When Ah Li saw Da Bai acting like that on purpose, Ah Li jumped and kicked Da Bai down, its tail wagging haughtily. Ah Li then jumped into Ling Xia’s arms and snuggled to his embrace. Da Bai was shoved far by that kick so it flew back with bloodshot eyes and aimed its talons towards Ah Li.

Ling Xia was caught in surprise but he immediately held his hands out to separate the two. Seeing the two act like jealous little kids, the heaviness in his heart lightened up a lot. He kept coaxing and coaxing the two until they finally behaved. However, the scuffle between the two resulted into more feather loss for Da Bai.

Da Bai’s eyes droop down and depressingly curled into a ball so Ling Xia hastily stroked Da Bai soothingly in the head. When he glanced at the other one, he saw Ah Li looking up on him. Its sets of amber eyes was sulking, so Ling Xia quickly petted Ah Li comfortingly as well. He became preoccupied in comforting these two pitiful creatures.

After a hard time of holding the two in each of his arms in place, he noticed that the lord protagonist has been staring at him the whole time. He unconsciously gave an apologetic smile.

Song Xiao Hu couldn’t take his eyes off him. His eyes suddenly turned into an upward curve and his pair of shallow dimples appeared: “Big brother Ling, it’s really you! You came back in great health!”

Ling Xia’s chest warmed up, his eyes getting teary. He nodded and replied: “En, it’s me.”

The hill top’s passing breeze was cool and refreshing. The two of them sat side by side in a leveled boulder and then they told each of their state of affairs. Ling Xia was surprised to find that Song Xiao Hu learned of his true origins from his mask wearing master in the past. He was truly shock but glad.

And of course, he didn’t tell Song Xiao Hu about the matter of him being twisted around Yu Zhi Jue’s little finger. He only told him about the time he spent living at the Bai Shou Yuan, taking care of Green Wings, and leaving that place with Da Bai up to this point. He told him when he met Yu Zhi Jue at that time, he still haven’t recovered his memories so he didn’t recognized him….

The expression on Song Xiao Hu’s eyes turned melancholic: “That time, Ah Jue was really heart-broken. But now that big brother Ling is back, he will definitely be very happy.”

When Ling Xia remembered all those experiences he had after he transmigrated this time, his face unconsciously turned red. That damn Yu Zhi Jue and his acting skills! He threw so much curses at him then, he felt sorry now. He wished he could to run to him now and see him at once….

Ling Xia breathes in deeply. His voice was about to choke with emotions so he hurriedly changes the topic with a smile: “Xiao Hu, in all these years, have you found someone you like?”

Song Xiao Hu was stumped for words, his face immediately turning red: “I’m still not the most amazing martial artist yet, so how can I think about love and creating a family.”

Ling Xia can’t help but find it funny. It turns out that this lord protagonist still haven’t change in the past three years in that aspect, he’s still pure as a white blank paper…..Ling Xia smiled brightly: “Dating won’t affect your martial arts training. And besides, Xiao Hu is already at a marriagable age.”

He saw Song Xiao Hu became increasingly embarrassed so he immediately changes the topic. After all, love is something that is up to destiny, it cannot be imposed.

From the stories that Song Xiao Hu told him, he gradually got to know all of the other guys’ current circumstances. Mu Rong Xue had already rebuilt the Holy Maiden Peak and abolished several unjustly laws of the Holy Maiden Peak. Feng Shu Ming sustained a grave injury that happened from the conflict in her Sect. And Feng Luo already officially had half of the Shao Yang Sect under his control as well as getting a lover. Cui Yu also became the official successor to the Yun Xiao City….

Song Xiao Hu digressed: “Big brother Ling, now that you remembered Ah Jue, are you going to find him?”

 

He looked back at the protagonist’s eyes that seemed to see through him completely. Ling Xia blushes when he remembered that time where there were many people that had witness what had happened. There’s Song Xiao Hu, Murong Xue, Ke Lan MinErBai…..perhaps all of them already knew about it.

He breathes in and raises his head, his expression completely determined: “En. I’ll definitely will.”

Ling Xia petted Ah Li, feeling reluctant to part. He also can’t help but give Song Xiao Hu a tender hug. When they were still kids, he frequently do this to Yu Zhi Jue. But he rarely gave the same treatment to Song Xiao Hu. The protagonist is now tall with broad shoulders, a man that is destined to stand at the top of the world.

He cried for a bit but his heart nevertheless feel happy. He patted Song Xiao Hu’s shoulder and said: “Song Xiao Hu, take care of yourself.”

Song Xiao Hu smiled cheerfully, his two dimples faintly discernible: “En, take care big brother Ling! I’ll be seeing you and Ah Jue very soon!”

He mounted Ah Li and waved at Ling Xia. Ah Li was also reluctant to part ways as it extended its head and licks Ling Xia’s hand. A pair of man and beast then soared into the sky and gradually faded into distance.

Ling Xia unconsciously smiled.

Da Bai was still perching on Ling Xia’s shoulder with an upset look. Ling Xia comfortingly rubbed its head and said: “Don’t bear grudges at Ah Li. I’ll definitely find a way to make your feathers grow again so you can find a wife soon.”

He raises his head and looked at the other direction. A spell of heat spreading in his chest.

“Ah Jue….” He whispered. He looked up and stared at the sky filled with glittering stars.

He traveled back to Yu Zhi Jue’s temporary residence as fast as he could, but he was stopped by the guards at the foot of the mountain. Ling Xia regretted so much that he didn’t bring with him that Jade ornament that proves that he is someone close to the Grand Master. If he tried to sneak in, he’s afraid that he would get caught by the guards patrolling in the sky and he won’t be able to meet with Yu Zhi Jue.

Right now, the safety of his life is what the matter the most. Even if he wishes to see Yu Zhi Jue at once, he thought he shouldn’t make light of his own life.

Those guards have changing shifts, but they all warned Ling Xia to leave the mountain premises. He thought carefully of who could possibly help him, but as he did, the only person he knows in the Dark Arts Sect is Ke Lan MinEr Bai. However, that girl is most likely at her Spirit Snake Island or at the Righteous Sect territory creating trouble.

He let out a sigh. Could it be that he’ll just have to continue to wait here till an opportunity rises? And besides, this place is just Yu Zhi Jue’s temporary residence, so if he thinks about it, Yu Zhi Jue might not be in this place anymore…..

Ling Xia looked for a cavern nearby for a temporary place to stay. He carefully rummaged through the stuff Yu Zhi Jue sets aside for him inside the storage chain with blue drop gem he was given. Inside that pendant’s storage space were unexpectedly filled with some of the stuff he had in the past, refining equipments and materials, and other things….

He was suddenly strucked with an idea. He begins to put his all on crafting and refining a magic device that could fire a firework that will display a message.

His refining skill started rough, but he slowly got comfortable with it. Ling Xia meticulously crafted a few characters out of fire stones, but he wasn’t sure of what he wanted to write. In the end, he only installed in the device a short message——‘Ah Jue, I’ll be waiting here for you.”

He put his focus on refining and testing that device. And when Da Bai went to asleep, he tookt that chance to go to the river to wash himself and his clothes.

He examined his appearance reflected on the water. It’s been several months ever since he came here, his hair had already grown up to his shoulder. He didn’t put his hair up so it became a bit tangled and messy.

He had already gotten used to seeing this appearance. He became a bit tan and his wheat skin complexion turned a little dry. It doesn’t even compare to the original ‘Ling Xia’ who had snow white skin and pretty looks…

Ling Xia sighed. Anyway, this is his look now. And besides, Yu Zhi Jue was still pining for him even though he looked like skin and bones when he was ill in the past!

He clutches his chest and breathes in. He aimed the magic device towards the sky then fired.

A golden spark flew into the night sky, displaying his message in big characters the moment it exploded——‘Ah Jue, I’ll be waiting here for you.’

Ling Xia sat at the river bank. He stared at the golden characters in the sky with a gentle smile on his face. He was waiting for that man to come.

Yu Zhi Jue appeared faster than he could ever imagine.

Ling Xia heard a familiar voice behind him. And when he heard the sound of footsteps getting nearer, the pounding of his heart became so violent he couldn’t stay calm.

He slowly turned around and spoke with a solemn tone: “Ah Jue.”

Yu Zhi Jue stood awkward. He wore an expression of hesitation mixed with anticipation: “Ling….”

Ling Xia’s lashes fluttered down: “Since I left, I’ve been thinking. I felt that its better to ask and make everything clear.”

Yu Zhi Jue’s chest tightened, his voice strained: “Say it.”

Ling Xia immediately continued: “Since I’m going to leave, for what reason did you give me a pendant that cannot be untied.”

“Also,” He slowly raised his head, his gaze colliding with Yu Zhi Jue’s, “I heard that the Demon King had someone he loved before?”

Yu Zhi Jue didn’t answer. He only nodded after some time had passed: “I do, but I only ever loved one man.”

Ling Xia sighed and waved his hand in dismissal: “Is that so.” He slowly turned around, about to walk away.

But before he could, Yu Zhi Jue caught his arm and pulled him back.

Ling Xia raises his brow: “What’s the meaning of this, great demon king?”

The grass on the ground is a half feet tall, lush and supple. Ling Xia’s vision swooned in one swift moment when his body was pushed down. Before he realize, Yu Zhi Jue had already pushed him down on the bed of grass, and confined him between his arms. He was surrounded by the fresh scent of the grass and the smell of Yu Zhi Jue’s body. Yu Zhi Jue was catching his breath, his eyes focused on Ling Xia. His expression was filled with obsession and grief, causing Ling Xia’s chest to tighten.

 

With their eyes looking back at each other, only then did Ling Xia notice that in these past few days, Yu Zhi Jue unexpectedly lost a lot of weight. There were even a lot of red lines in his beautiful pheonix eyes.

His heart went soft so he put a stop to his act. He reach his hands out and touched Yu Zhi Jue’s face. He almost couldn’t hold his tears back as he uttered: “Ah Jue, you’ve gotten thinner.”

Yu Zhi Jue was taken aback. He thought he was still dreaming when Ling Xia stroked his face. He was tempted to make sure if it wasn’t just a dream but he held himself back.

Ling Xia couldn’t control himself anymore. He pulled Yu Zhi Jue’s head down and kissed him. Yu Zhi Jue’s expression turned blank like a piece of wood with his mouth remaining shut. Ling Xia wantonly nips his lips, his voice a bit hoarse as he grumbled: “Lao Zi wants to kiss you now, yet you won’t open your mouth?”

The next second, his mouth was frantically occupied by the other person. Yu Zhi Jue clutches the back of his head and pulled him closer. His tongue was sucked with great force that it felt like Yu Zhi Jue was gonna swallow it, his breath was scalding hot. Ling Xia held on to Yu Zhi Jue’s clothes tightly with his eyes close and gave his all to return his kisses.

He didn’t know how long their lips and teeth clashes, but their fierce exchange of kisses slowly turned into passionate gentle pecks. Yu Zhi Jue’s kisses trailed along Ling Xia’s forehead, eyes, and landed back to his lips where he showered it with soft kisses. Ling Xia slowly opened his eyes and looks back at Yu Zhi Jue. He couldn’t hold back his smile: “Ah Jue.”

The strands of Yu Zhi Jue’s long black hair fell down and sprawled across Ling Xia’s body. It looks as if its spider web securely wrapping him.

“Ling, did you really remember?” Yu Zhi Jue asked warily while averting his gaze with an embarrassed look.

Ling Xia knew that this has turned into an awkward situation, so he replied with a poker face: “Yes——including how you bullied me! How are you going to make it up for me? Ling Jue? Yu?”

He saw the rare occurence of the great demon king blushing up to his ears, so he continued to push the matter: “You thought it was a good idea to turn into a young Ah Jue. He was so endearing.”

Yu Zhi Jue complained with a sulking face: “Ling, you really do like Ling Jue more.”

Ling Xia stared at him with wide eyes: “Of course I do! Ling Jue was cute and obedient while Yu was shameless and a rascal. Don’t you think so?”

Ling Xia’s heart griped. Isn’t Ling Jue and Yu Zhi Jue both him? Did he have to compare himself to himself? 

Yu Zhi Jue reacted with a chuckle upon hearing Ling Xia’s response. His phoenix eyes turned gentle, his words spoken as if it was a matter of fact: “Ling may like the young Ah Jue more, but I know that Ling prefers me in bed——He can’t satisfy you.”

Ling Xia’s face flushed bright red. Did Yu Zhi Jue really became a complete pervert? The way he phrase his words sounded so shameless and uninhibited….

Yu Zhi Jue slowly raises his head, his eyes already burning with that familiar fervent heat as he looked at Ling Xia’s eyes. He leaned his lips close to Ling Xia’s ears and whispered amorously: “Ling, let me satisfy you….”

Ling Xia’s heartbeat can’t help but race. He turned his face to the side and protested: “I still have a lot to ask and say to you! Ah Jue! Wu….” Yu Zhi Jue’s lips leaned down and cuts him off.

You bastard, aren’t you the one who will get satisfaction from this ?

“Don’t…we’re outside…ah….”

“Then let’s go to my space dimension. Ling, I really can’t bear it anymore…”

“…..ow….can you turn into the young Ah Jue first, please!…ah!…”

“Don’t think about other men at a time like this!”

“Wu….but isn’t he you? You bastard!”

“Say that you love me most, hurry….”

“…..Slow down…..Ah….. please….I love Ah Jue the most!”

“Did it feel good?”

“…..Yes.”

The next day, Ling Xia woke up with panda eyes and a strained back while Yu Zhi Jue was fully invigorated he was practically glowing. Ling Xia hatefully gritted his teeth.

Isn’t this my first time in this body? And yet he did it four times, isn’t that too much even for beasts?

Even though the medicine was very effective,  he still felt fidgety and his body was strangely uncomfortable.

The two of them sat besides each other, watching the sun rise up. The orange and red rays of the sun from behind the mountain range slowly peeks out, gradually became brighter until it was too dazzling for the eyes. Ling Xia turned to look at his side, his Ah Jue sitting besides him quietly. The expression on Yu Zhi Jue’s face was of tenderness, and his smile possesses a contentment as if he had everything in the world.

Ling Xia can’t help but smile as well.

Was the ending for this stallion character finally changed into a beautiful one?

The ending that I have changed may be a bit cheesy, but its all’s well that ends well.
