This Damned Thirst for Survival-Chapter 201: Sorry, Lu Youyi

Chapter 201 - Sorry, Lu Youyi

The killing of the Fatalist will take a little planning, right now the most important thing is Chi You's injuries and Teng Bi's body.

"Is that heart I took from you of any use to you?" Jiang Luo suddenly asked.

Chi You raised an eyebrow and nodded.

Jiang continued, "If you have the last Yuan Tianzhu, does it have a compensating effect on your soul?"

Chi You looked Jiang Luo's entire body over and suddenly laughed softly, "Yes."

Jiang Luo nodded calmly and told Chi You to get some rest while he went out and made a phone call to set up a meeting with Wen Renlian.

When Chi You woke up, he didn't have to worry so much. Jiang Luo set the meeting place near Dawu Mountain, far away from the dragon veins. Zhu carried them back."

"You don't know yet, but Ge Zhu and Ge Wuchen have reconciled after clearing up their misunderstanding and, according to Ge Zhu, he secretly followed you to an ancient tomb and saw Ge Wuchen disappear in front of you. Ge Zhu was so anxious that he searched the tomb for days before finding Ge Wuchen. When he found Ge Wuchen, Ge Wuchen went crazy, hugging a stone and crying out Ge Zhu's name, probably mistaking the stone for Ge Zhu. I don't know what happened between the two of them in the tomb, but Ge Zhu's eyes were red with tears when he returned."

I guess the news was so powerful that Wen Renlian, who is usually a tight-lipped person, couldn't stop, "You don't know where you went, but Daoist Master Wei He and Ge Wuchen stayed with us straight away. We followed Ge Zhu to the tomb afterwards, but the tomb collapsed somehow, do you know how?"

"By the way, where is that Teng Bi?" Wen Renlian then asked, glancing back at Lu Youyi, who was picking mushrooms with Ye Xun, a little further away. Wen Renlian then asked, glancing back at Lu Youyi, who was picking mushrooms with Ye Xun, and walking a little further away, "Where did he go, is he with you? I'd be relieved if he was with you, I was afraid he'd still be in the mountains and come out of nowhere and bump into Lu Youyi. You don't know, Lu Youyi almost saw him when you were up the mountain together, but luckily I blocked Lu Youyi's binoculars so that he didn't see Teng Bi."

Jiang Luo's mind went blank for a moment, and he suddenly felt sad and asked in a low voice, "Did you see it when we went up the mountain?"

Wen Renlian said, "Yes."

Jiang Luo: "If you don't block it, will Lu Youyi be able to see Teng Bi?"

Wen Renlian affirmed, "Yes."

Jiang Luo didn't know what to say. He saw a lighter on the kitchen stove and went over and took it in his hand, firing it one at a time.

Snapping, snapping.

The fire rises and goes out.

Jiang Luo's throat was clogged and he suddenly realised how devastated Lu Youyi would be if he told him about Teng Bi's death.

The most unacceptable thing in the world is a misunderstanding.

Who can tell?

Who could have known that the glance Wen Renlian blocked up would be the last one Lu Youyi might see of Teng Bi?

The mistake of missing it by mistake when you could have seen it can cause an instant emotional breakdown.

Jiang Luo felt he had some idea of what Teng Bi's last words meant when he said "If ...... forget about ......".

"How nice it would be if I could see him one last time ......"

"How nice it would be if I wasn't dead already ......"

"How nice it would have been if I had apologised earlier ......"

These four words are full of all the things Teng Bi did not say.

Jiang Luo's voice was a little muffled, "He's not with me ...... and he won't come out cold. I'll talk to you guys when I get back ......."

Wen Renlian could hear something wrong in his tone and he murmured, "Good."

Jiang Luo hangs up the phone, stands still for a while and goes to ask his host family to borrow a packet of cigarettes.

When he heard the knock on the door, his face turned red with shame as he ran out, grabbing his trouser pocket with one hand and shoving the cigarette into Jiang Luo's hand with the other, stammering, "No, no need to return it."

Jiang Luo's worry was relieved when he returned to his room and met Chi You's gaze. Jiang Luo went to the bed and sat down casually, opened the cigarette case and smiled.

He lit his last cigarette and took a sultry drag. The cigarette was not a good one, it burned quickly and tasted choked, a puff could have taken off a section the size of a fingernail.

Chi You reached out, his pale fingers touching the cigarette, and Jiang Luo gave it to him.

The two men finish a cigarette together when Jiang Luo suddenly climbs into bed and squeezes Chi You, two equally brilliant faces staring at each other through the smoke.

The smoke obscures the subtle expression on Jiang Luo's face and the look on Chi You's.

The same can be said for covering up the vulnerability in a man's heart that he doesn't want to show.

"What happened after I died?" Jiang Luo asked as he closed in on the smoke.

Chi You eased the last of the smoke out of his mouth and shadowed, "I fished you out, Teng Bi gave you his last living breath."

Jiang Luo paused and whispered, "Make it clearer."

Chi You and Jiang Luo look at each other.

The emotions in the dark-haired young man's eyes are all captured by Chi You. Perhaps Jiang Luo himself did not realise how many wounds and remorse were hidden in his eyes.

Chi You extinguished the cigarette in his hand, raised his left hand and pressed Jiang Luo's head, whose face passed through the choking, spicy smoke. Without saying anything, Chi You kissed him with the smell of smoke.

*

The following day, Jiang Luo and Chi You arrived on time for the meeting.

Teng Bi's sword was taken into Jiang Luo's hands and before he left he asked the host family to borrow a piece of black cloth and, as Teng Bi had done before, used it as a sheath and tied it carefully.

From a distance, Jiang Luo could see Wen Renlian's group gathered.

His eyesight has become much stronger than before, and from this distance he can see clearly the anxious or relaxed expressions on the faces of his companions, and he sweeps past them all, finally settling on Lu Youyi's body.

Lu Youyi is standing with Ye Xun, the two of them watching with interest the way Ge Wuchen and Ge Zhu are getting on with each other, their eyes shining with gossip. Ge Wuchen's handsome face is dark, but he is forcing a compassionate and kind smile.

Soon, the people across the street saw them too. Ge Zhu and Lu Youyi warmly raised their arms in greeting and Ge Wuchen stood up respectfully as soon as he saw Chi You.

"Here you are at last," Lu Youyi said in a loud voice, "where have you been for the last half month?

After these words, Jiang Luo and Chi You had already walked up to them.

After seeing that Jiang Luo was unharmed, Wen Renlian's men set their sights on Chi You, both explicitly and implicitly.

For the past half month, Ge Wuchen had been brainwashing them day and night, saying things like Chi You and Jiang Luo were made for each other, trying to get everyone to join him in setting Jiang Luo and Chi You up. His frantic rhythm also affected Ye Xun's senses, and when they saw Jiang Luo and Chi You standing together, they could actually see that they were a good match.

It goes without saying that both men are first class in looks. They stand together like sharp knives and spears, each inspiring the other's most attractive pair, clashing and yet fitting together.

I heard that Chi You has confronted the Lian family over Jiang Luo. Compared to the time when he loved Jiang Luo so much that he wanted to kill him, Chi You now apparently does not want to kill Jiang Luo. As long as Chi You does not kill Jiang Luo, Ye Xun will not stop Jiang Luo and Chi You from being together.

After all, before Chi You became a ghost, he was someone they admired too. Jiang Luo isn't just a human anymore anyway, so he's a good match for Chi You.

Lu Youyi, who had cried several times over their love story, smiled and poked Ye Xun as the crowd gawked at Chi You and Jiang Luo.

Ye Xun coughed up his throat and asked cooperatively, "You were alone for half a month?"

Jiang Luo felt that the words he wanted to say had suddenly become too heavy for him. He laughed bitterly twice in his heart, "Teng Bi, how nice of you to come over and talk to him yourself.

If you apologise to Lu Youyi, the most Lu Youyi will do is beat you up.

I spoke to him and his carefree look could be completely shattered by me.

Jiang Luo couldn't really say it, he pulled his lips up meaninglessly and smiled casually.

Ge Wuchen came out and greeted Chi You, looked around and asked curiously, "Master, why isn't Teng Bi following you and Master Jiang?"

Jiang Luo's smile froze at the corners of his mouth.

Lu Youyi, who was squeezing Jiang Luo's eyes, was stunned, " Teng Bi?"

He knew that the dead man's name was Teng Bi.

The smile on Lu Youyi's face slowly fades and his anger begins to burn as if everything is in slow motion. Fire flashed in his eyes and he rolled up his sleeves with clenched fists, furious, " Where's Teng Bi! Tell him to get his ass out here for Grandpa, I'm going to beat the shit out of him!"

Ye Xun looked on calmly, and instead of stopping Lu Youyi, he added fuel to the fire and said coolly, "Is a beating enough?"

He supports Lu Youyi in beating up Teng Bi. It's not going to kill him anyway, so Lu Youyi can take it out on him.

But Jiang Luo was silent and did not say a word.

The evil spirit glanced at Ge Wuchen with an expressionless look on his face.

The sudden silence spread quickly from them to all.

Lu Youyi's fist was frozen in mid-air, all highs and lows of anger as he looked at Jiang Luo, who was silent, and then at Chi You, who was silent, and said hesitantly, "Is he gone? Jiang Luo, what's that look on your face."

Jiang Luo finally moved, taking heavy steps to Lu Youyi and raising the knife wrapped in black cloth in his hand.

" Lu Youyi ," his voice trailed off, "do you recognise this knife?"

Lu Youyi recognised it at a glance, he didn't know what was going on but the atmosphere made him a little uneasy, he withdrew his hand awkwardly and said anxiously and honestly, "I know, it's the dead ghost's knife."

He paused and couldn't resist asking, "How did the dead ghost's knife come to be with you?"

Jiang Luo opened his mouth, "...... He asked me to give you this knife."

Lu Youyi's eyes widened as Jiang Luo shoved it at him, and Lu Youyi subconsciously took the knife. The coldness of the knife reached Lu Youyi's hand through the black cloth, and Lu Youyi was even more uneasy as he forced a smile, "Is he trying to give me the knife to make amends? I wouldn't agree to that. He had already given me this knife as a deposit when he ate at my house and stayed with me because he didn't have a penny on him. Although he was using the knife, it was already mine, so using it to make amends is not reusing it to take advantage of me. Jiang Luo, call him out, I don't want the knife, I'll just beat him up to take it out."

For the first time Jiang Luo found it so difficult to speak, he couldn't bear to look at Lu Youyi's expression and looked down at the weeds on the ground, "He has another message for me to bring to you."

"He said 'I'm sorry, Happy New Year'."

Jiang Luo pursed his lips, "I'm sorry, Lu Youyi."

" Teng Bi is dead."
