He Nai frowned and said unhappily, “Master, you’ve just come back. Where are you going now?”

“I…” Mu Feng was about to speak when he was stopped by Sun Yaxin, “It’s no use hiding it from her. Just tell the truth. After all, the three of you are always together, aren’t you?”

“This time the case is different. It’s too dangerous. How do I know if Cao Cao lies to me?” Mu Feng’s words actually aroused He Nai’s curiosity. Hastily she asked, “Alas, Master, tell me. Where are you going? Is it fun?”

“He is going to the middle dragon vein area at the junction between Shaanxi and Sichuan. According to Cao Cao, the original body of Ma Chao, the general of the Kingdom of Shu was found there. It remains unknown whether the information is true or not. By the way, the names are really fun.”

Sun Yaxin quipped, and He Nai responded to him, “Yes, now that we’ve known the Kingdom of Wei and Shu, maybe there will be generals of the Kingdom of Wu.”

Sun Yaxin got stunned and then said with a smile, “Sure. The parents are good at naming their children so well.”

Ordinary parents didn’t dare to name their children in this way.

He Nai complained in her heart. She didn’t feel so good to conceal the truth even though she knew it, but Mu Feng must still hope not to involve Sun Yaxin in this.

Unlike the bustle in this car, it was much quieter in Wangchuan’s car. Seeing that Zhao Yun and Xia Mingyu seemed to have made up, Wangchuan sighed with a relief. Gladly, Mingyu was a good boy who didn’t really get mad at Zhao Yun.

Held by Zhao Yun in his arms, Xia Mingyu felt quite confused. Why did he feel that Zhao Yun was even better to him now? Was it a delusion?

Wu Jiuge left Tengxiao behind when he went away, which was hiding in Xia Mingyu’s pocket. Zhao Yunming saw it, but he didn’t say anything. Yet, it wouldn’t be a problem. Tengxiao might not be able to defeat him…

Xia Mingyu yawned and felt a little sleepy. Somehow he felt like sleeping today. Zhao Yun noticed his sleepiness, and then asked, “Are you sleepy? Lie down and sleep.”

Zhao Yun patted his thighs and asked Xia Mingyu to lean against him. The young man blushed and mumbled, “Why do I lean against you?” However, he still rested his head on Zhao Yun’s thighs to enjoy being stroked by Zhao Yun.

Perhaps Xia Mingyu was really sleepy, so he fell asleep very soon. In his dream, it was all darkness where he only heard an unknown song.

“The lover is far away; the rain falls in the alley. The young man stands on tiptoe to snap the plum blossom, with the petals falling on his clothes… The so-called love is merely like a dream. As the war horses neigh, may I ask where you are?”(This was a song made up by the author himself.)

The voice sounded familiar. Whose voice was it? In a trance, he opened his eyes half. As the surrounding darkness gradually dispersed, Xia Mingyu saw a person in the darkness. With the light fading in, he saw clearly that it was Chiji!

Chiji was holding the black umbrella, with blood dripping along her red clothes at a fast speed. The blood flew at Xia Mingyu directly. Instantly, he turned around and ran away. Chiji gave a weird smile, who was still singing. “I ask you when you will come back but you say that you don’t know; I ask you whether you love me but you say that you don’t know… There are seven sufferings in the world and fate is unavoidable…”

The singing sound was getting farther and farther, but the blood flowed faster and faster, which surrounded him in a flash. Then, Xia Mingyu was knocked down.

Chiji talked to his ears in a sick scornful voice, “Haha. Do you want to escape again? But this time, I must stay with you. As long as you and I merge together, we will never be parted again. You can’t get away from me anyway.”

Suddenly, Chiji’s hand pierced through his belly, making him feel as if his soul was torn apart. The darkness gradually came over him and everything was drowned in blood… Why was this happening?

“Yun…” With the hollow and desperate amber pupils looking at the distance, he gradually lost his consciousness. Was this really just a dream? If so, please let him wake up now. He didn’t want to die…

“Splash!” Chiji behind his back was wrapped in flames and then screamed. Her gorgeous dress began to burn to ashes. At the same time, Xia Mingyu, already unable to move, was picked up by someone. In a trance, he only saw that that person had a pair of purple eyes, and then he just passed out.

The young man with purple pupils curled his lips and smiled, “Your helpers are arriving soon. It seems that replacement is inevitable.”

The darkness slowly engulfed everything. Only two people were left in the sea of consciousness. The young man with purple pupils threw out the chains to tie the unconscious Xia Mingyu up and left.

“Chiji… I almost forgot you. I wanted to let you go, but since you’ve hurt him, I won’t allow it to happen again…”

The young man has been sleeping with no sign of waking up. In order not to awake him, Zhao Yun held him in the arms carefully when they were about to get off the car. However, when he just reached Xia Mingyu, the young man suddenly opened his eyes, which were full of alertness, strangeness and hostility.

“Xiaoyu?” Zhao Yun’s hand paused in the air because Xia Mingyu obviously avoided him. What was wrong?

“…” The young man looked down and then suddenly smirked. He threw himself at Zhao Yun and leaned against his arms quietly. Zhao Yun was stunned and thought he had made a mistake.

“What’s wrong?” Wangchuan noticed that Zhao Yun opened the door and yet, didn’t get out of the car, he turned around to ask then. He was surprised to see that Xia Mingyu threw himself into Zhao Yun’s arms and shook his head resignedly. It seemed that he didn’t need to worry much. Mingyu and Zhao Yun were getting along well indeed.

Xia Mingyu was carried back to the room by Zhao Yun. When Zhao Yun got out of the room, the young man itting on the bed shook his feet and smelled the wine on his body. He couldn’t help frowning so he grabbed the clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

As soon as he took off his clothes, he heard Zhao Yun’s voice from outside, “Xiaoyu?”

“How annoying…” The young man muttered. He pulled the door open and walked out, “What’s wrong? ”

Perhaps because he was seldom exposed to the sun, the young man’s skin is a little morbidly white. He had a red mark in the middle of his eyebrows and his bright dark purple eyes were beaming with impatience. Somehow, he looked different. “You… Are taking a bath?”

“Yeah, you want to join me?” “Xia Mingyu leaned against the door with his hands crossed around his chest and a sinister smile on his face. His eyes were full of banter. It was easy to see through the two souls in one body. If it weren’t for that Gu poison, the current soul would have been able to take over the body directly. The other soul was so stupid that he fell into a trap again.”

The young man raised his fair neck with a look of a rake, which reminded Zhao Yun of the kiss after Xia Mingyu got drunk. He was guessing whether the young man had drunk too much… However, if this young man could become so cute after drinking much, it would be nice to let him have some once in a while.

“Yun, if you don’t come in, I’ll close the door!” The young man raised his tone as if he was flirting. With a naked body, he was still inviting Zhao Yun to come into the bathroom.

The closing door was stopped by a big hand. Xia Mingyu turned around and happened to meet Zhao Yun’s dark red eyes. Zhao Yun said calmly, “Then let’s take a shower together. You’ve drunk a lot. I’m afraid that you may fall asleep in the midst of the shower.”

Xia Mingyu smiled and reached out to open the spray nozzle. Instantly, the warm water splashed onto the two men and the indoor temperature rose sharply. As a result, the men were both overwhemled by the water spray.

“Hey, Yun, have you ever fallen in love before?” “Xia Mingyu reached out to fetch the water drops. His hair was wet now and the water just dripped all over his body, rendering him like a fish in the water. This young man had the other soul sleeping in his body, which was timid and senstive, but obviously, the current owner of the body was much more straightforward.

Zhao Yun removed his hair band and his long hair was scattered. When he heard the question of Xia Mingyu, he felt a bit confused. The young man took away the hair band that he just took off and started to observe it.

“Someone gave this hair band to you, right?” “Xia Mingyu turned the dark blue hair band over, and when he saw two very small words written at an unremarkable place, his eyes became even more profound.”

Zhao Yun didn’t hide it from him and then nodded, saying, “My original hair band was lost in the battle. Mengqi gave me this.”

Mengqi… Ma Chao… Interesting. It seemed that Zhao Yun didn’t think about that in a romantic way at the time.

Noticing Zhao Yun’s confused eyes, Xia Mingyu put down the hair band and squeezed a lot of shampoo. He walked to Zhao Yun. “I just find the hair band quite cute. Okay, now let me wash your hair.”

The young man smeared the shampoo on Zhao Yun’s hair. It was the first time that Zhao Yun had let the others wash his hair, so he was slightly stunned at first. Then he sat down by the bathtub. There was a small stool in the bathroom. After Zhao Yun sat down, Xia Mingyu started washing his hair.

As his fingers went through the hair, Xia Mingyu felt very comfortable. The foam got more and more. Then Xia Mingyu just fetched some and blew it to the air, causing the foam to splash around, which looked like snow. He squinted his eyes, turned the spray over, rinsed the foam off Zhao Yun’s head and then began to comb his hair.

“Yun, have you heard a song?” Xia Mingyu suddenly thought of something when he was combing Zhao Yun’s hair. The evil look between his eyebrows was undisguised. Zhao Yun replied with a yes in confusion. Xia Mingyu started to sing in a low voice, “Stroke One, may your marriage last a lifetime; Stroke Two, may you be blessed with longevity; Stroke Three, may you be blessed with an abundance of children and grandchildren; Stroke Four, may your partner gain fortune; Stroke Five, may your partner’s career go smoothly; Stroke Six, may you be blessed by your relatives and friends; Stroke Seven, may you never part from your partner; Stroke Eight, may you have all the blessings from the heaven; Stroke Nine, may you have children as you wish; Stroke Ten, may you be blessed with a happy and harmonious marriage until old age.”

He sang a line each time he combed the hair. Zhao Yun suddenly realized that the young man was singing the “Ten Strokes of the Comb”, which were sung by the fortune lady when she was combing the hair of the bride before the wedding. Well, Xia Mingyu was taking him as a bride now.

Zhao Yun suddenly turned around and grabbed Xia Mingyu’s hand. The young man was caught off guard and then got dragged into his arms. Zhao Yun started to tickle the young man, just like what Mu Feng did to Sun Yaxin. Xia Mingyu couldn’t stand the tickling and fell into his arms. “Haha… Don’t… Ah, I’m sorry. Yun, ah! ”
