Ways to handle this little demon

All of a sudden, Ren Haitao pulled fragile Xie Feng into his arms while the other was still talking angrily. Pinching Xie Feng's chin, the man stared at the furious male for a moment before bending down to suck on those seemingly soft yet juicy lips. Xie Feng seemed to have taken aback. Ren Haitao could feel the other gone stiff in his arms for a second before starting to push him off. But he didn't let him go.

Yeah…..he kissed Xie Feng just to stop his nonsense at first. But unexpectedly, Ren Haitao found himself unwilling to part from those lips. The other's lips were as soft as marshmallow with some sweetness tinged in them. But he couldn't invade them because they were refusing him desperately.

" Let me go…..mmm...let go of me already….."

Xie Feng had just finished saying the last word when his bottom lip was bitten harshly by the other. With a tinge of metallic taste of blood, their kisses went on before Ren Haitao finally came to a stop. Xie Feng was still panting heavily when a stern tone of the man came from above.

" Listen to me….. Xie Feng....Do you think I, Ren Haitao, is some idiot who can't even differentiate between love and such disgusting greed? That old friend you knew ten years ago…..was I such a stupid bastard? Was I such a stupid friend to you?"

Ren Haitao was infuriated for real this time. But he tried to contain the anger. Even so, the effect was not that good. Lang demonic species like him were hot-tempered to begin with. Every moment they found something unsatisfying, they would get angered big time even if it was for something insignificant. But right now, it seemed like even Xie Feng got affected by the other's nature as he also shoot back.

"Yeah, you was...you really was...that night when I told you to kill me and devour my core….. eat my flesh and blood….you should have done it….you should have done it just like how you're supposed to do…..you shouldn't…..you shouldn't have done such lewd things to me…..you….you shouldn't have force me to make love with you…you shouldn't have...."

Xie Feng's voice trembled somewhat with each of his words. Maybe it was anger. Maybe it was grievance. Telling or recalling about that night from ten years ago was not something easy for him. Xie Feng had been trying his best not to recall that night for years. It was a bittersweet memory in fact.

But Xie Feng didn't want to recall it. That night had been both of his biggest nightmare and sweetest dream. But he hated that part of himself which was willing to believe this man's words. He hated himself for wanting Ren Haitao's feelings for him to be real. He really hated it.

"Xie Feng! How many times do I have to tell you? Just how many times do I have to tell you to believe in my feelings for you? I love you and I want you to be mine. I know why you rejected my confession. That's not because you don't love me. You just don't believe in my feelings from the first place. That's why….that's why your rejection doesn't count as one."

Here he goes again. Ren Haitao wouldn't just stop saying those words. Yeah...he also wished it to be real. But Xie Feng realized the truth. This man didn't like him. It was just because Ren Haitao was getting addicted to his blood.

This all began ten years ago. After they became friends, due to guilt, Ren Haitao attempted to quit consuming yin cores. It had become almost like a tradition to all Lang demons to kill and consume yin demons' core. Ren Haitao also was not an exception

Even though the man didn't need to rely on the core of such weak demons to advance his cultivation, Ren Haitao still had to consume yin core on a regular basis. 

There was a reason why even powerful Lang clan members didn't stop killing Yin demons for their core. It was because yin core resembled drugs. Just like smoking or drinking, consuming yin core was addictive. Xie Feng was grateful at first that his friend Haitao was willing to overcome such big craving for himself. But then, he started to regret it.

Not long after Ren Haitao quitted consuming yin core, side effects followed. His appetite decreased, his irritability gotten worse. Half the time, Ren Haitao would suffered headaches and nausea. He started to forget many things till he got memory problems.

Though Xie Feng knew Ren Haitao was doing it for himself and this would bring many benefits to his own clan if the leader of Lang demonic clan like Ren Haitao were to be able to quit consuming yin cores, still, he couldn't endure the sight of his friend suffering so much.

So he made a suggestion. His plan was to let Ren Haitao try consuming his own blood bit by bit for a month or two. Though Xie Feng was a yin demon, in his clan, he was the only member who was born as a male, so his blood tasted a bit different from others.

His mom even once said that Xie Feng was a yin demon who didn't taste like one. His blood, his flesh and his core were a bit different from others. 

Since he was a male, Xie Feng was the least targeted by other demons. Some simply didn't know he was a yin demon whereas some realized but they just didn't bother to hunt him because rumors had it that his blood tasted awfully bad. 

Even a Lang demon, who once hunted him and tasted his blood when he was about to kill Xie Feng, said his blood tasted so horrible and let him go. Nonetheless, Xie Feng didn't think the taste of his blood was that awful. Maybe it was just a bit different from others. 

Since he also was a yin demon, his blood might be addictive just like others as well. But just because his blood was not like other usual taste, Lang demons must have thought it was horrible.

If only one would try consuming his blood everyday, there's no way they wouldn't get addicted. And that's why this kind of solution occurred to Xie Feng's mind. Even if Ren Haitao couldn't quit consuming yin demon's blood or core completely, as long as he could make the man get addicted only to his blood, then it's fine too. 

Though he didn't show it on the surface, Xie Feng really feel sad every time he saw Ren Haitao consuming yin core served by his subordinates. This reminded him someone from his clan had just been killed and their core had been dug out brutally. And every moment he tumbled upon this realization, Xie Feng even thought of breaking their friendship. 

Maybe Ren Habitat tried to quit consuming yin cores since he also realized Xie Feng's uneasiness about it. But consequences were a bit too much when he stopped consuming suddenly. After hearing Xie Feng's suggestion, Ren Haitao also thought it was possible, so he accepted it. 

Xie Feng could still remember vividly how Ren Haitao reacted after tasting his blood for the first time. There was a vague grimace on his face. And when Xie Feng's asked how it tasted, Ren Haitso could only respond with a hesitant "edible".

At first, both of them were not even sure if the plan would work. But the time proved it did. It took Ren Haitao only a month to get addicted to Xie Feng's blood completely. After a certain period of time, Ren Haitao couldn't even consume any other yin demon's blood or core anymore.

This showed the two got their desired result. And just like this, everything was okay up until the point Ren Haitao got addicted to Xie Feng's blood way more than he should. And it also was the very reason that led the duo to spend a particular night doing unspeakable things in the future. 

Many complicated things happened before that night from ten years ago. But one thing was for sure. Ren Haitao didn't like him. The man was just mistaking his addiction for his blood as love. Even though this might sound unreasonable, it really was. His sixth sense was telling Xie Feng that in Ren Haitao's heart, there were no genuine feelings for himself. Xie Feng didn't know how to describe it in words. But he just knew it. Ren Haitao didn't love him. 

"Ren Haitao....don't give me any reasons anymore. Just admit that you don't love me. Just admit that you have never fallen for me. You say….I rejected you just because I don't believe in your feelings, right?

Then, I'll tell it. I, Xie Feng, rejected your confession....because I hate you....it's because I hate you more than anyone else….You force yourself on me…..you took away all of my freedom….you force me to give in to you by threatening to destroy my own clan…..Ren Haitao…..I hate you….I hate you...I hate you like crazy…..."
