2. Shifu’s Secret

Mo Cang’s eyes darkened. His gaze was fixed on that man’s body—the man he’d been yearning for for so long.

He didn’t know when it had started—when he had begun to feel an indescribable desire to possess the man that was his master.

Since he could remember, this man had been his master. Although he was his master, he didn’t treat him particularly well. He could see the indifference and ruthlessness in that man’s eyes. In the beginning, he had only acted compliant and obedient to make his own life less difficult.

However, gradually, as the years passed and his cultivation rose, his thoughts began to change….

His eyes would follow that man unconsciously. He worshipped and admired this strong, callous man. He yearned to be as formidable as him one day… no… to be even stronger!

As the years passed, the difference between their power shrank.

Finally, one day, the man who he once thought to be out of reach was no longer far from where he was. It was as if he could touch him if he reached out. Desire slowly grew in his heart. He began to want more and more. He was no longer satisfied with just being a well-behaved disciple.

He wanted to be closer to this person. He wanted to press this man, who had once been able to easily kill him, down beneath him. He wanted to make it so that those cold eyes would never be able to ignore him again. He wanted to make it so that Ji Xing could only look at him.

He knew that if he wanted this person, he could not be rash. If that man found out that he held such intentions towards him, he would definitely kill him, ba? Before he had enough strength, he could not act blindly without thinking.

Therefore, he began to hide his true strength. He slowly chipped away at the other’s vigilance and made the other trust and depend on him.

Bit by bit, the net was cast.

Mo Cang’s gaze fell on the body of the man in the stone room. His Adam’s apple bobbed. Uncontrollable flames came out from his eyes.

This was the person he wanted. He was bound up before him, off-guard, like a sacrifice waiting to be enjoyed by him…. This was the secret Shifu had wanted to hide. Right now, the secret was laid bare before his eyes.

It really made him happy….

He had thought that he would still have to wait a while. His cultivation was not actually at late stage Soul Condensation but in middle stage Divine Connection. He was just a bit behind his master, who was a late stage Divine Connection cultivator…. He thought that, with his breakthrough imminent, he would soon no longer have to endure.

He was about to become stronger than this man. Strong enough to have him.

He had already waited patiently for many years… who would have expected that he would see such a scene today. Self-control suddenly became extremely hard to maintain.

Mo Cang stared at him, gaze fixed, for a while. He was hesitating whether to go in or not when he noticed that Xie He had turned to look at him. Their eyes met, and Mo Cang felt his breathing pause. His nerves suddenly became taut!

Just as he was preparing for battle, he realized that Xie He had turned his head but didn’t seem to notice him. Xie He continued to roar and struggle….

Mo Cang stared at him blankly. His expression then changed. This looked like… he was a beast that had lost his awareness and rationality.

Mo Cang was silent for a few seconds. A determined light flashed through his eyes. He suddenly stood up and pushed the stone door open, walking in.

He strode over to Xie He and stared at him with a fixed gaze.

Xie He noticed that someone had come. He abruptly tried to pounce on him, wanting to tear at him with his teeth. However, his hands and feet were bound. When his fingertips were only an inch away from Mo Cang’s clothes, the chains were pulled taut, and he could not reach him! His red-effused eyes stared coldly at Mo Cang!

Clearly, he wouldn’t be able to touch him, but he still reached out over and over again. The chains clanked as they were pulled.

Mo Cang kept his eyes on Xie He’s. A long time later, he finally determined that Xie He did not recognize him at this moment. An unclear expression flickered in Mo Cang’s eyes and his gaze slowly shifted downwards…. They fell on the expanse of pale skin that had come into view because of Xie He’s struggling. Because his wrists and ankles had been chafing against the shackles, there were bloody marks on them. The normally arrogant and stern man was looking up at him with dishevelled clothes at this moment…. Mo Cang could not suppress the desire in his heart any longer.

The person he had yearned for was standing in front of him right now and did not recognize him.

No matter how the other was treated, it wouldn’t matter….

So why should he continue to endure?

A smile appeared on Mo Cang’s lips. He suddenly grabbed Xie He and pulled him over in front of him. He pulled out a ribbon from his storage ring and blindfolded Xie He’s blood-red eyes. He knotted it at the back of the other’s head.

Although Xie He’s condition was odd right now, Mo Cang did not know how long it would last. He had always been cautious by nature. He would not give Xie He a chance to discover him.

Mo Cang looked at the man before him, satisfied. The corner of his lips raised slightly. The red ribbon was tied around the man’s pale, stern features. Part of it continued down the front of the other’s body. The man who had been cold and impossible to violate was now a fish on the chopping board… just waiting to be enjoyed by him.

Shifu… you have always taught me to steal what I wanted, to live as I desire…. As a demonic cultivator, I must not learn from those solemn-faced hypocrites.

But, you know… what I want is you.

So long as I can have you, I will resort to any tactics. Shifu, how am I doing? Are you satisfied?

Xie He’s sight was covered up. There was an expanse of black before him. Immediately, his actions became wilder. An uneasy yell came out from his lips.

However, he could not control his physical or spiritual forces. He had also struggled for a long time before this. His strength gradually weakened. Mo Cang was able to easily control him.

Mo Cang used one hand to suppress Xie He. His fingers flitted over Xie He’s cheek, chin…. His gaze was dark, as his finger stopped at those dark red lips. This was the person he had chased after and yearned for as if the other was his god. Now, he was finally in the palm of his hand. He could finally touch this person…. Mo Cang no longer held back and kissed those soft lips forcefully!

Those lips seemed to carry the fresh scent of some kind of spiritual grass. It was just like the person himself—cold but seductive. It made him more and more infatuated….

Mo Cang couldn’t help but deepen the kiss. He tried to open Xie He’s teeth with strength. Xie He struggled while also trying to bite down, but Mo Cang quickly pinched his jaw from both sides, making it so he could not close his mouth.

Now that he had touched him, Mo Cang discovered just how tempting this person was. He was thousands of times more addictive than he had thought! He didn’t want to let go at all!

He used his hand to tear off the disarrayed clothes Xie He had on!

The man’s perfect, slender body was completely revealed before him. At this moment, in Mo Cang’s eyes, this body was even more tempting than any Heavenly treasure!

……………………………………

Mo Cang gently kissed the man beneath him. There was an unprecedented look of satisfaction in his eyes.

This was the person for whom he had thirsted for so long. He finally had him. The moment their bodies had been combined… he finally understood just how much he wanted the other, how much he adored him. So long as he could possess the other, there was nothing he would hesitate to do.

【Ding, the target Mo Cang’s Favourability Value +5. The current Favourability Value is 80.】

Xie He had already fainted. His long, black, and messy hair was scattered all over the stone table. His chest rose and fell slightly. All over his fair body were marks. His eyes were still blindfolded by that red ribbon… there was a kind of beauty to his desecrated appearance.

Mo Cang looked at him tenderly. He suddenly didn’t want to let go. He really wanted to continue like this. However, he still undid Xie He’s bindings in the end and carried him over to the pool. He carefully washed the other and placed him back on the stone table. He then dressed him and put the shackles back on.

He gave Xie He a deep look, pinched his chin, and gave him another deep kiss.

My master… you are now mine…

Only after ending that kiss did Mo Cang take off the blindfold around Xie He’s eyes. He then turned and left.

…………………………………………………………

When Xie He woke up, he discovered that he was still lying on the stone table. The manacles around his wrists and ankles were still there, and he was still dressed. However… his whole body hurt. There was faint pain coming from an unspeakable place. Because he would not have any memories about what happened after he had lost all rational thought, if it had been Ji Xing—that old virgin—he would probably be startled and have to think it over for a long time before realizing what had occurred. However, Xie He understood in a second.

【Xie He：Baby, play the video for me. Smile.JPG】

【444：Mn. (*/ω╲*)】

Xie He watched for a while. A regretful look appeared on his face.

【Xie He：I regret it. I should have retained awareness yesterday.】

【444：…Why?】

【Xie He：I didn’t expect that my precious disciple would be so fearless. I gave him a slight opening and he snatched it. He has extraordinary wits. His actions were nimble and efficient. I’ve blamed him wrongly as his teacher. If I knew he was such a good worker, I would have stayed aware and felt good with him. Sigh.JPG】

【444：……】

【444 deliberated for a while：Host dada, shall I help you retain your awareness on the first of the next month?】

【Xie He：Baby, your comprehension skills have been getting increasingly better. I feel very gratified. 🙂 】

【444：……O(∩_∩)O~】In the beginning, he rejected this. He just wanted to be a pure system. However, in the end, he compromised with his big thigh. _(:зゝ∠)_

On the third day, Mo Cang came back from outside. He looked travel-worn. He deferentially said to Xie He, “Shifu, the Frost Spirit shards could not be found at the foot of the mountain, so I went to the market run by another cultivation sect a hundred li away. That is why I returned so late.”

Xie He looked exhausted. He was furious over what had happened that night. After he carefully inspected things, he noticed that there were no clues left. His mood turned sour. However, he did not doubt Mo Cang at all. He trusted him very much. Moreover, he didn’t think that Mo Cang had the ability or power to do such a thing. He only said coldly, “Hand it over.”

Mo Cang immediately handed the Frost Spirit shards, Ancient Vine Root, and other spiritual ingredients to Xie He.

His gaze swept over Xie He’s side profile. He had been just itching to stay by his master’s side at all times. However, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, he had hidden outside for two days before returning. The moment he saw Xie He’s pale and icy visage, he couldn’t help but think of the never-before-seen seductive side he showed while beneath him, as well as that arousing voice…. His expression changed slightly.

Xie He was only focused on the spiritual ingredients. He did not notice that his disciple had shown an abnormality for the first time.

“Does Shifu have any other commands?” Mo Cang asked again. He found that since they had been skin-to-skin, it had become thousands of times more difficult to control himself when in front of Xie He. He was afraid that Xie He would notice something odd.

Because Xie He’s wounds from last time had yet to heal, he waved his hand and dismissed Mo Cang. He then took the spiritual ingredients with him to his pill-refining room.

Ji Xing was indeed a genius. Not only was he an excellent cultivator, but he was also an expert in refining both pills and weapons. That was why everything was going smoothly for him despite being a lone demonic cultivator. If it hadn’t been for what had happened that year, he would never have fallen to such a place.

It was just a pity that all his meridians had been destroyed. He could only raise his cultivation forcefully with the aid of outside sources. However, even so, he ended up stuck in late stage Divine Connection.

Xie He closed himself off in the pill-refining room for twenty days. Pill-refining was a very dull process. This was when 444’s usefulness came out. Xie He had 444 watch the heat for him, set an alarm, and then wake him when it was time to add in ingredients. With how accurate systems were, the success rate was higher than before. Therefore, Xie He could make time to watch movies.

If 444 had limbs, Xie He would practically turn him into an assembly line so that he wouldn’t have to do anything himself.

Poor 444, though. While Host dada was relaxing and entertaining himself, he had to work with 100% concentration. At this time, 444 deeply reflected on his error. He realized that his understanding was not yet deep enough. His and Host dada’s heart were not yet one. He realized that it was only if Host dada was feeling good that he would also feel good. Because when Host dada felt good, he would give him money and let him go out (to shop, gossip, chat and spend money). When Host dada wasn’t feeling good, he had to stay here and work extremely hard to relieve Host dada’s boredom.

444 couldn’t wait for the first of next month to arrive. For the first time, the wills of both host and system became one.

His lackey skills advanced once more.

Xie He stayed in the pill-refining room until his injuries healed.

He called Mo Cang over and gave a curved sword to him casually. He said, “For you. Although it’s just an Earth-rank, average-quality immortal tool, it should be enough for you right now.”

This was what he had stolen from that sect last month. It was also because of this that he had gotten injured. Only, there was no need to tell his disciple this.

Mo Cang was a bit moved. Although Xie He spoke so casually, an Earth-rank immortal tool was very precious outside. Above Earth-rank was Heaven-rank. A Heaven-ranked immortal tool was extremely rare. Each time one appeared, it would cause fighting and plundering all over the cultivation world. Therefore, to the normal cultivator, an Earth-ranked tool was already the best that one could get. It was only the core disciples of large sects that could get anything better.

He looked at Xie He gratefully and said, “Many thanks, Shifu.”

The gratitude in Mo Cang’s eyes was not completely fake. It was clear that Shifu had worked hard to get this immortal tool for him. In the last few years, although Shifu had been as cold as ever, he could feel that beneath that indifferent appearance, something had changed.

Mo Cang’s heart softened. He suddenly wanted to hold this person all the more.

【Ding, the target Mo Cang’s Favourability Value +2. The current Favourability Value is 82.】

“Go, ba.” After handing it over, Xie He had Mo Cang leave. He had always been like this. He would never say much to his disciple. He guarded his words like gold.

A bit of reluctance flitted through Mo Cang’s eyes. However, he still left with the tool.

It would soon be the first. Then, he could once again hold this person.

…………………………………………

Xie He passed several days leisurely again. When he was free, he would cook with the things in his vegetable garden (medicinal herb garden) and barbecue in the countryside (barbecue the meat of spirit beasts). He felt that he was such a recluse that he would become an immortal at this rate.

When the first came, he returned to that stone room.

This time, Xie He was not careless. He strengthened the formations outside several times and sealed the stone room. He did everything he could think of before he locked himself up, pleased.

【Xie He：Baby, remember to help me retain my consciousness this time. Smile.JPG】

【444：No problem, Host dada!】

【Xie He：Very good. 🙂 】

【444：But Host dada… it’s so heavily guarded this time. Will Mo Cang be able to enter? _(:зゝ∠)_】

【Xie He：Who knows.】

【444：Eh? Σ( °△°|||)︴】

【Xie He：It’s time to test my darling disciple’s skill. I am full of expectations for him as his master, ah. 🙂 】

Of course, Mo Cang would not disappoint Xie He.

He pretended to go down the mountain as usual on the first. He waited until Xie He left before he followed the original route to the hidden room. When he reached the maze, he sensed that the formations had been changed. He raised an eyebrow and smiled. It seems that Shifu is prepared this time, ne.

Only, he was greatly different from what he had been in the past. Not only did he know about the particularity of his bloodline, but his cultivation increased exponentially and he had taken the time to research all kinds of formations and techniques. It was only because his master usually ignored him that he didn’t realize this. Moreover, Mo Cang had always been careful in hiding it.

Mo Cang’s eyes darkened slightly. He entered the formation. Suddenly, a wind blade scratched his cheek. The scene before him changed. What was once an ordinary meadow instantly turned into a sea of danger.

Mo Cang remained calm. He slowly advanced forward. It was but a few tens of meters but it took him about one shichen to make it across.

Finally, he exited the formation. When Mo Cang reached out to push the door, he paused. Last time, the door opened with a gentle push. This time, it was like pushing a mountain. It would not budge an inch. He held the door with both hands and used all his strength. Although he was just a middle stage Divine Connection cultivator, because of his bloodline, he could exert strength up to two ranks higher for a brief period of time! That impregnable stone door slowly opened under his hands….

Mo Cang’s forehead was covered in a layer of sweat. His eyes were dark as he slowly walked in and looked at the person in the stone room. There was a smile on his lips.

Shifu… it won’t be easy getting away from me, ne.

He walked over to Xie He and pulled out a ribbon to blindfold him again. He then raised the other’s chin and kissed the lips he’d been longing for.

He had endured for one month.

After getting a taste, he realized just how arduous waiting was….

Xie He didn’t know if he fainted from the poisonous flames or from being done. However, that feeling was just too good. Xiao Mo Cang’s girth and length both made him feel very pleased! He had nearly been pierced through by him…. He also had lots of tricks.

Moreover, that fellow was really exceptionally careful. He knew that Xie He wouldn’t remember him, but he still kept him blindfolded. However, not being able to see anything from being blindfolded, with all his pain and pleasure in the hands of another—that kind of scary feeling… was actually really exciting.

【444：Did you have a good time yesterday, Host dada? O(∩_∩)O~】

【Xie He：Yes. 🙂 】

………………………………………………

When Xie He returned to his Immortal’s Cave, his expression was even worse than last month. There were faint dark circles under his eyes.

Mo Cang was extra careful when attending to Xie He. He was so reverent that he nearly treated Xie He the way one would an ancestor. Despite this, Xie He acted increasingly cold towards him.

However, regardless of Xie He treated him, Mo Cang acted like it didn’t matter to him. He let the other curse and beat him.

Like this, another few months passed. On the first of every month, Xie He would think of all kinds of ways to obstruct this intruder. However, the other’s skill always seemed to one-up his. Each time he woke up on the second day, his body would be littered with marks that told him that he’d been humiliated. Moreover, the other was obviously becoming more and more savage. He did not seem to have any intention of exercising restraint. Later on, he didn’t even bother dressing Xie He anymore. When he woke up only to be met with the discovery of being left completely nude and soreness all over his body, he practically went crazy from shame and anger.

As a demonic cultivator, he had more than one plan to fall back on. However, Xie He discovered that there was no way to block this person. He had even tried changing the location but….

No matter what he did or where he went or what obstacles he put up, that horrible nightmare followed him like a shadow.

Xie He’s temperament became more irascible by day. His gaze became icier as well.

Today, it was once again the end of the month. Moreover, Xie He had forgotten to tell Mo Cang to descend the mountain. Therefore, Mo Cang had taken the initiative to ask for instructions, “Shifu, Disciple will go down the mountain tomorrow. Is there anything you require?”

Xie He did not want to respond at all. When he thought that he would be humiliated and violated by that unknown person tomorrow, his heart filled with violent rage. He waved his hand and caused Mo Cang to fly away. With a chilly voice, he said, “Scram.”

He did not restrain his strength. Moreover, Mo Cang was off-guard. He flew away, blood dribbling down the side of his mouth.

However, Mo Cang’s expression did not change. He crawled back up and whispered, “Apologies, I angered you.”

Xie He was startled. He didn’t mean to hurt Mo Cang. He felt a bit apologetic, and his tone softened quite a bit, “It’s none of your business. Go, ba.”

“Yes.” Mo Cang lowered his head and left. Out of Xie He’s sight, his eyes glinted.

………………………………

Xie He watched Mo Cang leave. He then left his Immortal’s Cave with a dark expression.

This time, he went to a distant cave. He installed layers upon layers of protective formations. He also pulled out a black pill from his storage ring and swallowed it. This pill was extremely difficult to refine, and the materials were expensive. Xie He only had a few of these pills. It could slightly suppress the poisonous flames and shorten their effects. He could wake up earlier.

Mo Cang had broken through to late stage Divine Connection during this time. With the Heavenly Spiritual Vein, not only was his cultivation speed fast, but he was also never hindered by bottlenecks. When other cultivators would have to wrack their brains on how to break through to a new level, he only had to cultivate normally before he would naturally break through when conditions were right.

Moreover, his bloodline was pure. His spiritual force was even purer. In that half a year, his cultivation was no longer inferior to Xie He’s. He had easily caught up.

Mo Cang gazed at the man, who had lost rationality before him, profoundly. He pulled out a ribbon and covered his eyes.

………………………………

Mo Cang held Xie He, content. He gently caressed the body beneath him. His black eyes were full of longing and yearning. This was his master… and his person. He did not have to pretend anymore… he could directly seize this person, imprison him, and possess him every night and day…. But he felt a bit reluctant to do so.

Mo Cang thought of how Xie He’s expression had gotten gloomier with each day. He felt his heart ache and also felt some complicated emotion. When he thought that his master might look at him with hatred, Mo Cang’s heart clenched for some baffling reason. Perhaps… it would be better to let you continue acting as my master…..

In any case, you can only be mine….

You cannot escape from my hands.

Mo Cang mulled over things for nearly one shichen before thinking that it was about time to go. He was very reluctant to part. He dug his fingers into the other’s hair and couldn’t help kissing the other.

Just when Mo Cang’s kiss became passionate, the person in his arms that had been sleeping suddenly moved. Mo Cang realized that something wasn’t right at once! He needed to dodge! However, because they were so close, his shoulder was caught by Xie He. Sharp nails pierced his skin and blood gushed out!

Eve: Loool, a bit of Scum villain vibes here. And oh ho ho, dear disciple, have you been discovered? Hope XH kicks him out and causes him to become even more yandere.

sere: er mah gerd i don’t even have words for these scum anymore i know they are scum and still feel stabbed either way.
