When I woke up, the entire cultivation world was talking about my master.

The shadows floated, and the hazy, sweltering temperature rose steadily, making even the air scalding and viscous.

Chu Xianlan covered her eyes with the back of her hand and buried her face in Yi Chen's neck, breathing softly.

My five senses are out of control, and my thoughts are drifting aimlessly.

fingertip.

fingertip.

Knuckles.

The half-demon listened to advice and didn't use its tail.

But who can say for sure which is more deadly, scales or scars?

The cave, sealed by ice and snow, is devoid of any outside sounds, like a world isolated from the outside world, amplifying every slight tremor.

His thin clothes were half-hanging off, and the snake's tail lifted him up, fixing Chu Xianlan almost entirely in place. He was trapped and could only cling to it. His legs were also restrained and he couldn't close them. He had no way to hide or escape.

The scales brushed against my sensitive and delicate ankles, occasionally sending shivers of icy, tingling sensations through my body.

The boy's body temperature was burning hot, and his fair skin was covered with marks he had left behind, like a raging fire burning in the half-demon's pale pupils. Yi Chen buried his face in the boy's neck, greedily inhaling his unique scent. His Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and the soft sounds that came from his ear from time to time ignited the blood in him.

Warm and soft.

Yi Chen's eyes were already deep and profound, but now, with his desire growing infinitely, it seemed as if a bewitching vortex was swirling deep within his pupils. He was like a wild beast that had been starving for a long time, his eyes yearning and desperately wanting to possess this person, his heart pounding with unprecedented excitement.

But that's not enough.

Let alone laying eggs.

Even acceptance is difficult.

The boy was naive, but he neither struggled nor avoided, obediently shedding all his sharpness, which fostered the wicked thoughts of a half-demon who would do whatever he wanted, and easily aroused his evil nature.

They want to bully people.

In fact, Yi Chen would not deliberately bully his disciples. He has a natural self-control that far exceeds that of ordinary people, so he restrains himself most of the time. He cherishes Chu Xianlan too much and doesn't even have time to pity her, so how could he have time to do anything bad?

Unfortunately, things are different now.

Suddenly, his fingers moved more rapidly, immediately causing the person in his arms to arch their back stiffly, breathe rapidly, and tremble uncontrollably.

The half-demon turned his head to the side, his chin slightly raised.

He squinted, wanting to kiss his partner again to relieve the burning sensation in his chest, but he was stunned when he saw the boy's expression.

Chu Xianlan's face was covered in tears and sweat.

Those blue eyes were like a turquoise lake disturbed by a storm, rippling with hot tears streaming down their faces.

Upon seeing his reaction, the half-demon's pupils instantly contracted.

A lingering subconscious urge prevented him from seeing the boy cry, so he immediately hugged him tightly, frowned, and kissed away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his tone even a little hesitant, "Baby?"

Chu Xianlan did not react.

He was slightly lost in thought, and as his eyelashes trembled, tears fell again.

The half-demon was truly terrified, feeling both bewildered and heartbroken. Any thoughts of laying eggs vanished instantly. He tried to appease Chu Xianlan by sucking on her swollen lower lip, only to taste a faint metallic tang of blood—presumably from the wound the boy had inflicted himself, which had even broken the skin.

...He just wanted to be close to his partner, so why did it make him so upset?

Is he really not good to the baby at all?

Will I hate him? Will I be afraid of him? And then want to leave?

If he continues to be unable to control his demonic nature, would he still be willing to stay by his side?

Will I still want him?

The half-demon felt incredibly panicked.

Chu Xianlan finally managed to break free from that unfamiliar and terrifying stimulation. She leaned on Yi Chen's shoulder, panting for several breaths. Her chest trembled, her back was burning hot, and her head felt like it was in a steamer.

Everyone says that Taoist practitioners focus on self-cultivation and character building, but this... is too terrifying, it's really unbearable.

Just now, I didn't even have the strength to resist. I forgot who I was and where I was. I could only let my consciousness sink into chaos. When I thought that all the feelings that I couldn't ignore were brought by my master, I felt ashamed because of the strange sense of immorality.

They had no choice but to swallow their words.

Chu Xianlan knew she looked disheveled, and her heart was filled with a mixture of embarrassment and shame. Her face flushed red.

Although he was clueless about this, he roughly knew how men should cultivate together. In short, he just let things take their course, and he wasn't completely unprepared.

In a daze, Chu Xianlan even had a self-destructive thought: There's no need to be... so nervous. Anyway... we're facing an out-of-control half-demon, not a serious master. It can't get too bad, right...?

Having convinced herself of this, Chu Xianlan swallowed and finally dared to look at Yi Chen again.

However, their eyes met.

Both of them saw tears in each other's eyes.

Chu Xianlan Petrochemical: "..." ? ? ? ?

Those were truly an eerily beautiful pair of eyes, dark and alluring, enough to drag anyone into the abyss. They were rarely seen even with a ripple of emotion, and no one would have imagined that those eyes would be overflowing with tears.

The ripples broke, and the shimmering light scattered.

Chu Xianlan opened her mouth slightly, truly terrified.

I was terrified.

I was terrified.

In this life, the next life, or any other life, he never imagined that his master would cry in front of him!

The next second, the world spun around.

Chu Xianlan was still in a daze when the half-demon grabbed him and threw him to the ground. After a moment, he heard the other utter a complete sentence in a low voice:

Don't leave me.

-

After saying those four words, Yi Chen no longer showed any excessive intimacy. He simply held Chu Xianlan tightly in his arms, his chin resting on the top of Chu Xianlan's head.

They seemed determined to hold on until the seas dried up, the rocks crumbled, and the world ended.

Chu Xianlan felt that the situation was becoming increasingly strange.

Putting aside the fact that the outside world has experienced several fierce battles and must be in complete chaos right now, his junior uncle and senior uncle must be worried because they can't find them... The current situation alone is enough to give him a hard time.

First of all, the master is always trapped in a state of being out of control and cannot return to normal.

Secondly, the already frozen cave entrance was reinforced with three layers of barriers, inside and out.

At first, it wasn't this exaggerated, but as soon as Chu Xianlan's gaze drifted towards the cave entrance, even if it was just a very subtle glance, the arms around his body would tighten, and the ice wall would be reinforced.

...as if it were their natural right to stay in this frozen cave.

That's indeed what the half-demon thought.

He doesn't need eggs or a title; all he wants is for his baby to stay by his side and smell his scent.

Unable to contain herself any longer, Chu Xianlan mustered her courage and called out, "Master?"

The half-demon looked down at him.

"Uh," Chu Xianlan tried to change the subject, "Hua Ling and the others are still waiting outside, Master. Shall we go out together?"

After a long silence, a rumbling sound came from the cave entrance—the fourth layer of the barrier had arrived!
