Chapter 38.1 - ALIC Chapter 38.1

Why don’t you just give me your body, what you dare not do – let me help you do it?

Snatch him – mark him! He is yours!

In the depths of Xuan Yan’s pitch-black pupils, golden rays of light kept flashing. His face was filled with struggle and pain, while his thin lips were tightly pursed.

No, I can’t…

He suddenly slapped his chest hard with a palm!

Xuan Yan vomited a mouthful of blood and his face paled, but the golden light in his eyes finally dissipated…

He lowered his eyes slightly, and looked at the young man on the bed with some nostalgia, as if he wanted to reach out and touch him. But when he was about to touch him, he withdrew his hand like he had received an electric shock…

The closer he was to Lin Ziran, the harder it was to restrain his heart demon.

Every minute and every second, he could feel his heart demon growing stronger and stronger… attempting to seize control again and again, especially when he could no longer control himself…

He didn’t know how long he could hold on.

………………

Lin Ziran got up the next day and found that his lackey didn’t even come to wash his face.

He was used to this person’s service every day, but he suddenly didn’t show up one day. It was weird. What happened?

Lin Ziran was a little worried. He came to XuanYan’s room and knocked on the door, but it was quiet inside and there was no answer for a long time… Lin Ziran was confused and was about to push the door open when the door was abruptly opened from the inside.

The man was dressed in gray, with a silent expression as always and his black eyes looked at him quietly.

When Lin Ziran saw Xuanyan’s pale and bloodless face, he suddenly looked anxious and said, “Are you ill?”

Otherwise, how could he not come to attend to himself in the morning?

Sure enough!

Xuan Yan remained silent.

Lin Ziran was used to this guy’s taciturnity. If he hadn’t said a few words occasionally, he would have thought that he was a mute, just like the blind man back then.

Forget it, if he didn’t like to talk, so be it. But as his master, he couldn’t not care about the life and death of his lackey. After all, he only had one such follower…

Lin Ziran grabbed Xuanyan’s hand and immediately said, “I’ll take you to see a doctor.”

But what surprised him was that this pull didn’t even budge him. As soon as he turned around, his heart skipped a beat when he met Xuan Yan’s dark and deep gaze. However, he couldn’t tell what was wrong…

At this time, there happened to be a knock on the door outside. “Young Master, please come over.”

Oh shit, the big devil has come.

He had been so unhappy these days, he almost forgot that this old devil was still here!

Lin Ziran’s heart tightened and he couldn’t care about Xuanyan anymore. After thinking about it, he said to Xuanyan, “The money is in my room. You can take it to see a doctor. You don’t have to wait on me today.”

After that, he left in a hurry.

Xuanyan watched Lin Ziran leave, and then lowered his eyes to look at the wrist that had just been pulled. He thought there seemed to be a slight lingering heat left behind…

He finally understood why Mu Yang liked this person.

Because no matter what kind of injustice this person faced, even if he was forced to cultivate the demonic path… the warmth in his heart will never fade. Mu Yang had understood this early on, but because of his stubbornness, he had refused to admit it.

His heart demon was right, he was not as good as Mu Yang.

Even such a simple truth took him so long to understand…

He had lived so long that he no longer knew how to love someone.

Especially this man, who doesn’t love him.

You are jealous.

The devil said.

This time, Xuanyan did not deny it.

He had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and had never understood what love or jealousy was, but now, he seems to understand something…

He didn’t hate the feeling, but it wasn’t a good thing.

If he really lost to his heart demon and acted recklessly, not only will Lin Ziran suffer… but also countless creatures in the entire Scarlet Flame Immortal Realm…

Hurting others, it’s what he can’t bear to watch.

So he couldn’t indulge himself.

………………

Lin Ziran came to Ye Liuyin’s side.

Although he knew that the old devil was spoiling him, he was still a little nervous in front of Ye Liuyin.

Ye Liuyin was still wearing a black long gown, with a refined and easy-going demeanor. He asked Lin Ziran to sit down and looked at him with a kind smile: “Ye’er has been in Su Wang City for a while, but have you gotten used to it?”

Lin Ziran didn’t know what he was looking for, so he nodded and didn’t speak.

Ye Liu Yin pondered for a while, his expression slightly gloomy. He raised his eyes and said, “But I heard some rumors from outside that there is a demonic cultivator in Su Wang City recently and many people are very uneasy.”

Lin Ziran thought for a moment. Although Ye Liuyin was bad, he definitely didn’t mind what he had done. But now, he was pretending to be a good person in front of him, so…

Lin Ziran began to blame himself: “I’m sorry, but I didn’t pay attention which caused some people to misunderstand.”

Ye Liuyin sighed slightly. He didn’t blame Lin Ziran outright, but said sympathetically: “I already know what you did, those wicked people are still alive, you are just too kind-hearted and wanted to save people, but you must know… …In this Scarlet Flame Immortal Realm, no matter what our people do, it is wrong. Even if you help others, it will not be appreciated, and they might even kill you.”

“I don’t blame you for siding with the dao outside, I’m very happy that you have good intentions, but we, as demon cultivators, should still be careful to not expose our identities at will… If it is discovered by the Holy Palace, they will only kill us all.” Ye Liuyin looked at him deeply, and seemed very worried: “I finally reunited with you, I don’t want to lose you, do you understand my feelings?”

Lin Ziran thought to himself: I knew it. But he looked moved on the surface. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, “Father…”

Ye Liuyin pointed his finger, his eyes flashed as he looked at him: “You are finally willing to call me father.”

Lin Ziran pursed his lips tightly.

Ye Liuyin’s expression seemed to be mixed with joy and sorrow. He stood up and laughed loudly: “Great, great! With your words today, your father can die happy.”

He raised his hand and stroked Lin Ziran’s hair and said gently: “Now, many people in Su Wang City know that you are a demon cultivator and someone must have reported it to the Holy Palace. It is no longer safe here. Pack up tonight and let’s get out of here tomorrow.”

Huh, are they just going to leave?

Lin Ziran was a little hesitant and didn’t know whether there was such a paragraph in the original plot. But Ye Liuyin’s words made sense, and he had no reason to refute, so he agreed.
