When Lin Ziran agreed to go with him, Mu Yang was overjoyed, and made up his mind that when they reached the holy palace, he must help Lin Ziran find a way to cultivate!

But before leaving, he must first arrange Mu Yazhu’s affairs.

Mu Yang proposed to help Mu Yazhu move and buy her a quiet courtyard, but Mu Yazhu refused. She said that she was used to living here and didn’t want to move, so Mu Yang relented and asked for the next best thing, and arranged for the housekeeper to regularly send food and medicine, to make sure that Mu Yazhu will be able to live without any worries after he and Lin Ziran left.

As for Mu Yan, Mu Yang pondered for a while, and it seemed that he was going to greet his third uncle. But he figured his third uncle wouldn’t even give him this little face.

After everything was arranged, Mu Yang was relieved.

Lin Ziran saw that Mu Yang had arranged everything in order, and sighed in his heart. He was really a gentle and considerate little angel. No wonder Li Ye loved him so deeply. It is a pity that he is cannon fodder. No matter how good Mu Yang was to him, it was only brotherly love while his admiration was reserved for his master.

Lin Ziran shook his head, no longer thinking about this.

Because the previous methods were useless, Mu Yang finally stopped urging Lin Ziran to practice all day long. Lin Ziran resumed his leisure and happy life. As long as you don’t force me to do homework, we will always be good brothers!

Time passed.

As the selection day of the Holy Palace approached, Mu Yang had less and less time to visit him. He was born and raised here, and was not an orphan like Li Ye. After going to the Holy Palace, he probably can’t return often for many years. Naturally, there were many things to deal with.

But although no one came, all kinds of things were delivered by a certain someone.

Lin Ziran has changed his clothes and shoes, and the house was full of various foods and medicine, not as embarrassing as when he first came here.

That day, he laid on the roof to bask in the sun, chewing sweet grass in his mouth. He squinted his eyes and said, “This thigh is worth it.”

[The system was speechless, but still reminded: When you go to the Holy Palace, it is best not to be so casual…]

Lin Ziran raised his eyebrows and said, “Why? The protagonist is Mu Yang and not me.”

He had studied the script carefully!

In the eyes of others, Li Ye was not qualified to enter the holy palace. Although Mu Yang insisted on taking him there, Li Ye can only be a handyman or a servant.

The Sacred Palace was the home ground of Mu Yang and Xuan Yan. Li Ye didn’t have many scenes, and was happy to spend his time idling.

According to the plot, Mu Yang would rise to fame overnight soon after entering the holy palace, and he would be taught by Xuan Yan as his only direct disciple. It will not take long for Mu Yang to admire his powerful master deeply, and his admiration will gradually turn into love… …

Mu Yang, who fell in love with Xuanyan, began to have troubles, and often expressed his admiration for Master in front of Li Ye. In fact, Mu Yang himself was ignorant of feelings at this time, but Li Ye could see from Mu Yang’s admiration. Because of his feelings for Xuanyan, but he wao humble and didn’t dare to speak his mind, thinking that he was not worthy of Mu Yang… the gap between him and Xuanyan was like the moon in the sky and the dust on the ground. So Li Ye would rather tolerate his love, as long as Mu Yang was happy, it didn’t matter even if he had to watch Mu Yang be with other men…

From the beginning to end, his only extravagant hope was to be able to look at Mu Yang.

What a deep and persistent love this is! Love… so long as the one you love is happy, you’re willing to sacrifice yourself to bless him and his lover!

Pining was nothing more than this!

Tsk tsk, so Lin Ziran briefly summed it up. In this episode of the plot, he only needs to spend his days in the holy palace, and occasionally listen to Mu Yang’s juvenile thoughts.

It was warm in the sun, and Lin Ziran thought about it as he fell asleep…he don’t know how long it had been when he suddenly felt a little itchy on his nose.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Mu Yang’s flawless white jade face without any warning. He didn’t know when Mu Yang had come, and he was lying on his side , elbows supporting his body, as he leaned close to him. At such a close distance and ambiguous posture, it’s almost as if they were kissing…

Lin Ziran’s heartbeat speeded up suddenly, and he didn’t dare to move at all, lest he ran into the soft lips that were close at hand…

Mu Yang retracted the hand that had brushed across Lin Ziran’s nose, smiled slyly, and said, “I knew you were here.”

Lin Ziran was a little nervous. Fortunately, he had recently practiced facial paralysis, so his expression didn’t change much. He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, “You are here.”

Mu Yang smiled calmly, and then lay down directly beside Lin Ziran, looking up at the sky: “Yeah, it’s nice to come out and stroll around…”

Actually, it’s not.

Mu Yang put one hand on his chest and tried his best to show his composure, so that Lin Ziran would not notice his strangeness.

He had been very busy recently. His father and mother had endless requests, and relatives and friends also needed to be explained to, one by one… But no matter how busy or tired he was, as long as he had time, he couldn’t wait to come here. Even if it’s just simply lying next to this person, it would make him feel relaxed and happy…

When he was around Lin Ziran, he didn’t need to care about other people’s expectations, and didn’t have to bear any pressure. He just needed to be himself.

He would never overstep or ask anything, of him, only trusting him unconditionally… No matter when Mu Yang came, he would always calmly say: You’re here.

As if waiting for him silently.

It seems that he was very, very important to him.

Mu Yang quietly clenched his fingers. When he came over just now, he found that Lin Ziran was asleep, but didn’t wake him up. Instead, he had watched quietly from the side for a long time.

The appearance of a young man was not so good-looking due to his dark complexion and ordinary facial features. Although he was young, he was already calm and unsmiling, even a little gloomy… But when he looked at him just now, he suddenly wanted to get closer…

Why? They are just friends, aren’t they?

This is clearly an idea that shouldn’t be there. He came back to his senses, and almost landed on the fingertips of the opponent’s lips, and finally only gently scratched his nose…

Mu Yang felt a little uncomfortable thinking about this, his ears were slightly red, and he tried to calm his tone: “There are three days left for the selection of the Holy Palace. I will pick you up and set off.”

The plot went well, Lin Ziran was in a good mood and smiled, “Okay.”

Mu Yang tilted his head slightly and looked at him seriously: “Don’t worry, I will find a way to bring you anyway!”

Of course Lin Ziran believed him, his eyes were bright, and he said without hesitation: “I believe you.”

Mu Yang was startled, his heart beating rapidly. He quickly looked away, staggered under Lin Ziran’s gaze, and patted his clothes. “Then I’ll go first.”

In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared.

Lin Ziran blinked. Today, Mu Yang hurriedly came and left. It’s a bit weird. Did something happen at home?

Forget it, it’s none of his business.

 

………………

Lin Ziran left the city early the next day.

During this period, Lin Ziran went to the mountains almost every day. With his meticulous management, the cave was now full of fruits and pheasants, and the types of vegetable fields in front of the door were also increasing.

This mountain forest has been walked all over by him, and he didn’t need system prompts anymore.

Thinking that he was going to leave soon, Lin Ziran was a little bit reluctant. Every inch of this cave was full of his sweat and labor!

He was sad.

[Lin Ziran: If I leave, what should I do with the chicken I raised…]

[System:…] How? This player is a farming-addict, isn’t he?

Lin Ziran kicked a stone sullenly, and he was quiet. Only the wind made a rustling sound from the leaves. Suddenly… Lin Ziran’s footsteps stopped and his expression changed slightly.

But he quickly returned to normal and continued to move forward as if he had seen nothing, but he walked in the opposite direction…

Gradually, the mountain road became more and more rugged, because it rained not long ago, the ground was wet, and he walked slower.

Mu Yan quietly followed Lin Ziran, a dozen meters behind him. Lin Ziran didn’t notice it. When he was about to take action, he saw Lin Ziran go round a big tree and suddenly disappear!

Mu Yan’s eyes darkened. The little thief was still in front of him just now, how could he disappear in the blink of an eye!

His expression was uncertain, and there was resentment in his eyes.

Not long ago, in order to protect this little thief, Mu Yang even embarrassed him in public and made him a laughingstock in the city. For this, he doesn’t know how long he was laughed at. Who knows that it was not enough… Mu Yang was worried that he would secretly retaliate and went to his father and told him all the things he had done, so that his father could teach him a lesson.

When his father learned of these incidents, he was furious and severely punished him, saying that he was trash. Not only did he not practice well at home, but he also went out to provoke trouble and lose face. Even his mother who usually defended him also reprimanded him.

Mu Yan was locked up at home for a long time, and he hated Mu Yang and Lin Ziran to death, but even if you gave him a hundred courage, he did not dare to make trouble for Mu Yang. As for Lin Ziran… Now Lin Ziran was well protected by Mu Yang. En, his father said he couldn’t make trouble in public anymore, so he didn’t dare to act in Chongzhou City.

But how could he swallow this injustice?

Mu Yan thought about it all day, and finally thought of a good way!

This little thief, Lin Ziran, went out of the city almost every day. He didn’t know what he was up to but he only needed to follow him out of the city and kill him secretly outside… Who would know that he did it?

When the time comes, even if Mu Yang comes to Xingshi to accuse him, he would not be afraid.

After Mu Yan made up his mind, he learned that Mu Yang was about to take Lin Ziran away from Chongzhou City to the Holy Palace. He finally found a chance to follow them before they left.

He followed Lin Ziran all the way to this mountain forest. It was very smooth at first but he didn’t expect to lose him…

Mu Yan pondered for a moment, then cautiously walked forward, intending to see what was going on…

As a result, when he was about to walk to that tree, he suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness! Mu Yan was caught off guard and fell into a mud pit hidden in the grass. As he was crawling out in a hurry, a rock suddenly appeared above his head and fell down!

“Ah—” Mu Yan screamed and protected his head, but blood still dripped from his head. He took a closer look at where the stone fell and saw it was clearly a hard fruit with thorns! He was unable to fight back!

After finally struggling to raise his head, he saw Lin Ziran throw another huge fruit toward him! He finally fainted…

Lin Ziran quickly jumped down from the tree, landed steadily, patted the dust off his hands, and sneered.

Enemies are fated to meet. I had to restrain myself in the city, but you dare to follow me out alone, is this not asking to be beaten?

Mu Yan was smashed into a bloody pulp and fainted. When he woke up, he was hung upside down and tied up, with Lin Ziran’s hateful face in front of him.

Lin Ziran slapped him on the face and said coldly: “Today, you landed in my hands. Let’s settle accounts now and see if I’ll let you survive.”

After he said this, he raised his chin, put his hands on his chest and showed a cold and ferocious expression, feeling that he was extremely domineering!

Terrifying!

Mu Yan was really panicked. He was used to bullying Li Ye. How could he expect that one day he would fall into the other’s hands? But it was impossible for him to beg this bastard. Mu Yan feigned courage: “If you dare to touch me, I, I will make you sure that you, mother and son, are unable to survive in Chongzhou City!”

“Really?” Lin Ziran sneered. You still dare to threaten me at this point. It seems that you still don’t know your place.

Mu Yan thought that Lin Ziran was scared, and continued to threaten with a sharp voice: “Quickly let me go, and then kowtow three times to apologize, I won’t care about you, otherwise I will wait for Mu Yang to leave and see who else can protect you!”

What? Want me to kowtow to make amends? Did this cannon fodder hurt his brain?

Lin Ziran showed a weird look, recalling that he had been thrown around by Mu Yan as soon as he came to this world. I’ll teach you a lesson today!

As he was thinking about how to clean up Mu Yan, his eyes fell on the blood on Mu Yan’s face.

Speaking of it, with his current ‘vampire’ physique, the person in front of him was like a delicious meal, and he might be able to increase his cultivation level after consuming it. But wanting him to suck the blood of this guy was …Too disgusting…

Wait! Lin Ziran’s eyes lit up.

[Lin Ziran: System, do you know how to cook pig blood?]

[System: I do, why…?]

Lin Ziran had already rolled up his sleeves aggressively. He took out a knife and went to find a fruit husk about the size of a watermelon, and cut through Mu Yan’s wrist!

Blood flowed out immediately, and Lin Ziran hurriedly caught it with a bowl, lest it was wasted.

【system:……】

Mu Yan thought he had fooled Lin Ziran, and he thought he was going to let him go. Who knew that he would cut him without saying a word. He screamed out in horror while struggling, “What are you going to do?!”

Lin Ziran was expressionless, his gloomy icy gaze swept across his face, and said in a very calm voice: “Do you know what it’s like to die from blood loss?”

Mu Yan: Huh?

With blood pouring out, Lin Ziran gripped Mu Yan’s wrist ruthlessly and quickly filled half of the bowl.

Mu Yan felt his blood flow and was cold all over. He looked at the calm and silent gray-clothed boy, remembering the sharpness when he cut his wrist brutally. He looked at him like a dead man… Mu Yan finally felt a chill from the bottom of his heart…

His scalp turned numb.

 

Mu Yan’s tone became weak. He trembled and stammered: “You, don’t be impulsive, if you kill me, my father won’t let you go…”

Lin Ziran’s black eyes were like an abyss, faintly staring at him, “You followed me out alone, no one else knows, right? Who would know that I killed you?”

Mu Yan:…

This is what he had wanted to do at the beginning, and now the tables have turned.

The blood was still flowing from his wrist. Mu Yan was trembling, and for the first time he realized that death was so close to him…He was about to die, despair overcame his world as snot and tears flowed down.

“Yes, I’m sorry, I was wrong, please let me go…” Mu Yan cried and begged: “You, I will give you whatever you want, if you let me go, I will give you gold, a lot. Do you want a lot of gold…”

I’m going to the Holy Palace soon, what’s the use of asking for gold? And this copper thing, Mu Yang has a lot of it.

Seeing that Lin Ziran was unmoved, Mu Yan tried his best: “You, if you don’t want gold…what do you want? As long as you say, I will try to get it for you!”

Lin Ziran ignored him and concentrated on holding the bowl in his hand.

When Mu Yan saw that he was about to fill a whole bowl, his eyes turned dark, and his face was pale and desperate, “I can kneel down for you and kowtow, I will kneel down and kowtow for you…”

There was a sound.

Lin Ziran swung a knife abruptly to cut the rope, and Mu Yan tumbled down.

He wondered if this big bowl was enough. If he collected anymore, the person might die. Although Mu Yan deserved it… he was just scaring him just now…

He doesn’t like killing people, even NPCs.

Seeing Mu Yan’s frightened look, Lin Ziran curled his lips in disdain, presumably he didn’t dare to trouble him anymore.

After a while, Mu Yan recovered. He didn’t expect Lin Ziran to really let him go. He immediately ran away, wishing to stay away from this terrible demon!

At this time, a cool voice came from behind him: “Why aren’t you kowtowing?”

Mu Yan’s body turned stiff, with an extremely humiliating look on his face, but his body was weak and bleeding too much, so he didn’t dare to offend Lin Ziran anymore. He turned around and knelt down, and knocked his head heavily.

After the knock, he got up in embarrassment and walked away quickly, clutching his wrist.

Lin Ziran saw that Mu Yan had disappeared and was sure that he would not return. Only then did Lin Ziran make a big circle and return to the cave.

The blood in the bowl was steaming, Lin Ziran carefully lowered his head and sniffed, and immediately frowned!

too disgusting!

[Lin Ziran pleased and said to the system: Tell me what to do with pig’s blood in a while.].

[System:…] Stop it.

Although it was very speechless about its player’s behavior in its heart, the system still told Lin Ziran the pig blood recipe.

Lin Ziran took the bowl to the side of the stream, added salt and water to the bowl, picked up a branch and stirred it. He then put the blood in the bowl to dry there, and then went to tidy up his vegetable garden and feed the little chicken.

After working for most of the day, he went back and saw that the blood had solidified.

He heated another clean bowl with hot water, then took the blood clot out and put it in, covered the lid and simmered for half an hour, and finally put it in cold water to cool down.

Um, although it looks a little squishy, ​​it’s still a success, right?

Lin Ziran took out the condiments and vegetables again, tossing for a long while, and finally made a bowl of ‘pig blood’ vegetable soup, … it really looks like it!

Having done this barely eliminated the discomfort in his heart. It is said that demons can naturally rely on sucking blood to increase their cultivation…

Lin Ziran thought of this… he finally plucked up the courage to pick up a small piece, took a bite carefully with his front teeth and swallowed it!

Fuck! Ow ow, so disgusting ah!

Why is it so terrible!

What did he do wrong?

Bah baah baah!

Lin Ziran threw away his chopsticks angrily. What made him most distressed was that not only was it unpalatable but also useless, he didn’t feel any spiritual power…

Heck, does it have to be fresh blood to be useful?

Or is there something wrong with his approach?

The bloodline of the heavenly devil relies on plundering the spiritual power of others to become stronger, and it is even more commonplace to swallow the blood. But now he didn’t even have the instinct. As a descendant of the heavenly demon, he felt disgusted when seeing blood…

It seems that he can only count on his father to teach him forbidden techniques.

Lin Ziran had completely given up on other routes. He looked at this big bowl of pork blood vegetable soup that looked fragrant, and thought it would be a pity to throw it away; It was a whole day of hard work.

After thinking about it, he returned to the cave holding the bowl, put the bowl next to the blind man, and said, “I made this specially for you today. Don’t thank me.”

[System:…] Can this person have some shame?

Lin Ziran didn’t care. He put down the bowl, since the blind man would not eat in front of him anyway.

He grabbed a blue fruit from the side, threw it into his mouth and ate it, finally suppressing the disgusting smell. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his brain had short-circuited today to suddenly think of eating pig blood…

He laid there and slept again after eating the fruit. When he woke up, it was dusk.

Lin Ziran turned his head and looked at the blind man next to him, still looking motionless and dead. After all these days… even if he was just a decoration, it was a bit emotional.

“Hey, I’m leaving now, what will happen to you later…” Lin Ziran scratched his head, looked around, and found that there were still a lot of fruits in the cave. With so many, it should be enough for the blind man to survive?

But that’s not the problem. The problem is that he wouldn’t come back again.

And there will be one day he finishes eating these things.

But since this blind man lived well before he came, he will probably live even if he left. It’s just hard to say what he would eat…

Forget it, he’s nothing more than an npc in the game, the lowest tier of npc without a name! So far, he hasn’t even said anything to him. What was he struggling for!

Lin Ziran stood up and sighed: “I won’t be back again. Take care of yourself. The food here should last for a while, you can only pray in future.”

“Goodbye.” Lin Ziran turned and prepared to leave.

As a result, he could not move. He looked down and saw a skinny hand firmly grasping his ankle…

Lin Ziran:……!
