This Damned Thirst for Survival-Chapter 38
There are no lights on in the unoccupied booths, the tables and chairs are in darkness, and a black mist covers Jiang Luo from head to toe, not a strand of hair or a finger showing.
Jiang Luo is pinned against the wall inside the box by the black mist.
His hands are tied up in a black mist, forcibly bound above his head, his toes resting on the ground, Jiang Luo looks up at his hands and struggles to free himself from the invisible bonds.
The veins on the backs of the hands are exposed by the struggle, and against the backdrop of the dark mist they appear charmingly sensual and erotic.
A pale, greenish finger stretches out from the black mist and rests gently on Jiang Luo’s fingertips.
The ghostly, deadly hand descends from the tips of its fingers, brushing over the veins and the small of its arms, landing teasingly and playfully on Jiang Luo’s lips, and finally pinching Jiang Luo’s jaw.
Jiang Luo grunts, lifts his leg and kicks forward.
The leg was stopped by the evil spirit, however.
The bent leg was entangled in another black mist and stalled in mid-air, another pale ghostly hand resting gently on the long leg, up from the crook of the knee to the thigh.
It’s a slapdash, but the cold, warm touch of the ghost’s hand is like that of a dead body, a frozen block of ice that has been there for years, and it only gives you the creepy feeling.
Big things are not good.
Jiang Luo’s sense of crisis screams out.
The evil spirit’s every move was extremely irrational, absurd and eccentric, exactly in line with the trigrams of the Wu Shu Gua. Jiang Luo clenched his teeth, his instincts getting worse and worse as he tried to turn his head away from the finger touching his lips, only to have the evil spirit forcefully pinch his chin and turn it back the next moment.
Jiang Luo cursed in a low voice, ” Chi You, what are you doing!”
Jiang Luo couldn’t have imagined such a scene if he had thought about it!
The dark-haired youth was filled with anger and consternation, a look rarely seen on his face, and a low chuckle came from the black mist.
In the next instant, the whole of the evil spirit revealed its full form from the black mist.
The leather shoe is pressed into Jiang Luo’s legs, touching the wall boundary. The black mist that had lifted Jiang Luo’s legs dissipated and was replaced by the hand of the evil spirit gently descending from the face of the leg to grip Jiang Luo’s thigh.
Jiang Luo’s face grew more and more odd as he wrenched his legs free and pressed back harder.
Chi You’s face appeared in front of him, and the evil spirit’s features were as perfect as ever, with a high nose, a full forehead, and long eyebrows in his temples. This time, however, Jiang Luo’s last whip mark was still on his face.
A red mark about an inch in size was wickedly visible on Chi You’s left cheek, the evil, madness and indifference of the evil spirits hidden in their bones and blood, all revealed in this whip mark.
Not good.
Very unpleasant.
Jiang Luo’s alarm bells went off again.
He stared at the evil spirits with a hundred thousand percent concentration, and to be honest, Jiang Luo would rather take a knife from the evil spirits than to confront Chi You …… in a grotesque and unorthodox way like this.
Quirky, too quirky.
The evil spirit bent slightly close to Jiang Luo who kept ducking back, “Look who it is.”
His hair swept over Jiang Luo’s ear, causing a tickle, and Chi You whispered in Jiang Luo’s ear, “If it isn’t Jiang, who wants me to die of pleasure.”
The evil spirit did not breathe, was not alive, but Jiang Luo felt the cold exhalation of the evil spirit and the words that could never be described as kind.
Shit.
Jiang Luo kept cursing the evil spirits’ caution in his mind, but the bizarre and absurd feeling had not yet faded, but had grown heavier and heavier, making him inexplicably feel a little panicky inside. He wanted to awaken the Yin Yang Ring, but his wrists were firmly bound by the black mist, and he could not move it at all.
The hand on his chin rubbed Jiang Luo’s lower lip flap red, and the dark-haired youth tensed up, indefatigably dodging the evil spirit’s hand, and when the evil spirit’s hand went for his upper lip, Jiang Luo couldn’t hold back any longer, biting down and scolding, “Get lost!”
One bite went down, but all it did was bite into the black mist that drifted away.
Chi You lifts Jiang Luo’s chin and looks down at the dark-haired youth.
Something tumbled violently in his heart, as if it were on fire, and as if it were a deep, horrible sea. He did not know what these things were, but knew clearly that it was the effect of the charm of reconciliation and the lover’s flower.
The charm of reconciliation, without the designated person for the birth date, was melted into the water by Chi You and naturally became effective for anyone who gave it to him, except that Chi You wanted to teach Jiang Luo a lesson but drank it himself.
But there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with the current scene.
Jiang Luo had a slightly panicked look that he hadn’t seen before.
The stunned look, the backward dodging movement, and the angry curses on his lips.
Jiang Luo is happy as long as he can make it unpleasant for him.
Chi You lowered his head and pressed it against Jiang Luo’s earlobe: “Jiang, I’ll teach you another one.”
The tone was ambiguous: “If you say the words, you do what you say.”
The side of his ear is close to his neck, the most uncomfortable place for a person to be near, and Jiang Luo opens his head sideways, feeling as if he is in the mouth of a wild animal that could bite him at any moment.
Chi You How did it get so weird.
He tried to push the evil spirit away, but he couldn’t move his hands and his feet were restrained, Jiang Luo’s face changed and changed, but eventually he calmed down.
“I’ve said so many things, which one is Mr. Ji referring to?” The corners of Jiang Luo’s reddened mouth lifted in contempt as he provoked, “It’s not the one about you wanting to be my secret admirer, is it?”
While his mouth attracts the attention of the evil spirits, Jiang Luo’s hand is shaking the Yin-Yang ring as much as possible.
The black mist wrapped his hand so tightly that Jiang Luo had to turn it at least halfway around before he could shake it.
“Or ……” Jiang Luo glanced at the evil spirit and smiled exaggeratedly, “Do you really want to be slept with by me?”
The evil spirit is unmoved, and the hand lifting Jiang Luo’s thigh gradually descends.
Jiang Luo kicked him several times, but he could not move the evil spirit, so he could only breathe heavily.
He tilted his head to calm his breath, recognising for the first time what happens when you flip out after a mouthful.
But if he could do it all over again, Jiang Luo would never be able to stop his mouth.
The leather shoes withdrew from between his legs, the evil spirit making Jiang Luo’s brow jump several times with each move.
Chi You is not in the right state.
Why is it not right?
Jiang Luo thinks about the source of all this and his thoughts gradually settle on the cup of tea on the table.
It seemed like it was because of that cup of tea that Chi You looked at him differently.
Beads of sweat rolled down his face and into his hair, sucked away by the thick black hair. Jiang Luo did not give up and kicked the evil spirit a few more times, one of which managed to land on its arm, leaving half a footprint on its clothes. The evil spirit raised an eyebrow and circled Jiang Luo’s ankle. The skinny ankle was gently rubbed by him and the evil spirit complimented him slowly and deliberately, “That was a good kick.”
Jiang Luo took a deep breath, still unable to resist, “Grass!”
What’s in that tea? What could have made Chi You look like this?
Jiang Luo forced himself to calm down and suddenly remembered what Chi You had said in Bai Qiu’s house.
— “Put it in water and it will have a surprising effect.”
Is it the paper ashes of the Harmony Charm?
Jiang Luo understood instantly.
Chi You, I’m afraid, originally intended to give him water that had been melted with the ashes of the healing talisman.
Jiang Luo’s eyes went cold, but then he quickly reacted, and now he was drinking the tea, wasn’t it Chi You?
He raised his eyebrows in relief and looked towards Chi You.
Even if the Harmony Charm is useful in the face of evil spirits, I am afraid that its usefulness will not last long. Jiang Luo thought of Bai Qiu’s state when he was struck by the Harmony Charm, and gave a gleeful smile.
How does it feel to watch yourself fall in love with your enemy? I guess the evil spirits are sulking in their hearts.
Jiang Luo suddenly stopped his useless struggle and he said lazily, ” Chi You , you’re upsetting me like this.”
Even if the evil spirits are not in a trance like Bai Qiu’s, the way he is now, he has been affected to a great extent.
This is a great opportunity to get back at the evil spirits, and Jiang Luo wants to make the most of it.
The corners of his mouth lifted gently, an intentional impatience and boredom hidden in his eyes, “I hate it when you do that.”
After a pause, Jiang Luo Yu Guang teased Chi You and said with a wry smile, “You don’t want me to hate you too, do you?”
In the state of Bai Qiu’s Chinese talisman, this would have been a good incentive for the evil spirits to “fall in love” with him.
The evil spirit looked at him steadily and did let go of Jiang Luo as he was told. Jiang Luo rubbed his wrists and finally landed on his heels. He flashed a smile and whistled softly.
The Harmony Charm, what a great thing to have.
Jiang Luo walks over to the glass table and sits down. He takes a puff of his cigarette and squints, wondering how he can take advantage of Chi You in this state.
He propped his hands behind his back, his posture good and neat.
The time limit for the evil spirits to be controlled was not known to him, so he had to hurry up and finish teasing them before grabbing them and running away.
He puffed out a mouthful of smoke and Jiang Luo tilted his head slightly sideways, his black hair slipping over his shoulders in a hook of silk, a good idea occurred to him and his lips curled up in a slightly raised tone, “On your knees.”
Jiang Luo folded his legs, his lush face smudged with smoke, his throat rolling sensuously as he added with a smirk, “Just kneel at my feet.”
Chi You did not move.
Jiang Luo retracted his leaning back position and straightened his hand on his knee to support his chin as he winked at Chi You, “Don’t you want me to like you?”
The words seemed to poke a nerve in the evil spirit, who lifted a step towards him and murmured, “That’s a very tempting offer ……”
Jiang Luo said to himself, “Chi You is really sick.
But he would have liked Chi You to be sicker, preferably to the point where Chi You would die if he said so.
Jiang Luo watched expectantly as the evil spirit stepped forward, but didn’t let his guard down, and he was always ready to open the Yin-Yang ring.
The evil spirit came to his feet and bent slightly, as if ready to kneel. He even knelt with such grace that it did not look like a humiliation, but rather like a knight saluting his king.
Jiang Luo took his toe and kicked Chi You in the waist, scattering, “Posture is too high, do you know how to beg and chase love?”
“Be humble, be pitiful, be wretched,” Jiang Luo said slowly, looking down at the evil spirit who was on the verge of landing on his knees, “and make me look happy, got it?”
It dawned on the evil spirit, “I see.”
But the next moment, the evil spirit swiftly stood up and pinned Jiang Luo down, one hand going up and holding down both of Jiang Luo’s hands instead of the black mist. The legs merged into Jiang Luo’s legs and pushed Jiang Luo down onto the glass round table.
On the clean, clear glass table, his black hair spread out, Jiang Luo’s eyes were stunned.
The evil spirit smiled, “But I think it would be more important to make me happy.”
*
The dark-haired youth’s disbelieving demeanour caused the evil spirit to laugh low.
His cold fingertips landed on the end of Jiang Luo’s eyes.
“Beautiful eyes.”
With a smile down the line, “Nice mouth too.”
“If you want to make me happy,” the evil spirit said nastily, “just that’s not enough.”
He twitched his thumb.
……
But soon the effect of Fu Lu disappears without a trace on the evil spirits.
The evil spirit paused and looked down at the man beneath him.
The dark-haired beauty was gasping for breath, her dress struggling to be messy, her lips swollen from his hands, the ends of her eyes red and she was glaring angrily at Chi You with a burning fire in her eyes.
Chi You raises an eyebrow.
“You are bold,” said the evil spirit, choking Jiang Luo, “to bring me to my knees?”
The evil spirit is awake.
Jiang Luo laughed coldly and suddenly kicked the evil spirit in the key area. Jiang Luo had already activated the Yin Yang Ring, and the golden-texted python burst forth to disperse the black mist and rush towards Chi You.
The snake’s attack was affected by Jiang Luo’s mood, and its bloody mouth opened up even more fiercely than it had on the river.
Chi You dodged the blow, but was met by Jiang Luo’s fist in the next second.
Jiang Luo’s fist was papered with talismans and the punch came with great force. But when it struck the evil spirit, the human form turned into a black mist and suddenly disappeared.
Jiang Luo rubs his wrist and looks expressionlessly into the darkness of the box.
There was a knock at the door from outside.
Senior Brother Qiao’s voice rang out, “Senior Brother, are you here?”
It’s a great performance.
Jiang Luo’s fist itched and he went out the door and, without saying a word, slammed his fist directly into that face of Senior Brother Qiao.
Senior Brother Qiao was knocked back two steps and stood straight in place, seemingly not reacting, “Senior Brother ……”
“Brother, I’m sorry,” Jiang Luo apologised falsely, “I mistook you for another person and didn’t react, are you alright?”
He walked up to check on him; the side of Brother Qiao’s face was already bruised and, looking at the injury, it would probably swell up in a moment.
“Brother Qiao,” Jiang Luo , “I’m really sorry, or I’ll go with you to the hospital?”
Senior Brother Qiao shook his head, “Forget it Senior Brother, it’s just a small injury, it’s okay.”
“Is it really okay?” Jiang Luo cared.
Brother Qiao tugged at the wound to reveal a reassuring smile, “Don’t worry.”
“By the way Master,” he asked rhetorically, “how did you end up in the empty box?”
“I met an acquaintance,” Jiang Luo said with a smile on his face, “and chatted a bit more.”
Brother Joe looked at him lustfully, “Did something happen to you?”
The dark-haired youth looked as if he had been bullied, vague anger burning brightly on his face, his clothes dishevelled and a pinched out finger mark on his ankle, living as if he had just experienced something unspeakable.
Jiang Luo was adamant: “I’m fine.”
“Good,” Senior Brother Qiao saw this and said no more, “Then Senior Brother, shall we continue back to dinner?”
“No, brother,” Jiang Luo said, not wanting to stay with this evil spirit, “I have a class this afternoon and I’ll be late, so I’ll go first.
Brother Joe nodded good-naturedly and watched him leave the hotel.
After Jiang Luo’s back had disappeared, Brother Qiao pushed open the door of the empty compartment and found a silver e-cigarette on the round glass table as if he were walking through the darkness of the compartment.
He took a gentle drag, squinting his eyes and exhaling smoke, his plain face instantly becoming attractive.
This time, Chi You did not manipulate Master Qiao, but possessed him close to the end of his fight with Feng Li.
As a result, he will feel the physical… The pain encountered in the body.
At this moment, for example, half a cup of water from the Harmony Charm was raging inside him like insects gnawing away, from his internal organs to his flesh. The bones itched so much that he wished he had insects inside him so that they could gnaw on them.
This little sorcery, which he had casually placed in a cup, could make a person’s life hurt like hell, but Chi You’s expression never changed.
He just sighed like he was sighing and said to himself, “I haven’t felt this kind of pain in a long time ……”
*
Jiang Luo was still early when he returned to school.
He hadn’t eaten lunch and had no appetite at all. He ran back to his dormitory and took a shower, washing every part of his body that had been touched by the evil spirits.
The evil spirit’s love is so damn heavy, luckily it’s only for those fifteen minutes in total, everyone else’s love is devotion and giving, he alone is the madman of pleasurable ego.
When Jiang Luo had finished packing himself up and it was almost time for class, he exited the dormitory only to see a number of storage boxes placed against the wall between the hallways.
He passed by the organizers and entered the class in time for the bell to ring.
Lu Youyi wondered, “We thought you weren’t coming today.”
Jiang Luo : “Why do you say that?”
“We heard that Feng Li had taken you on as a student,” Lu Youyi replied honestly, “I thought you would be locked up in Tian Shifu by Feng Li until the tournament.”
Jiang Luo smiled, ” Tian Shifu is going back, and so is school.”
After class, surprisingly, the teacher also brought in a new student.
“From today onwards, Qi Ye will be transferred to our school,” the teacher said in a loud voice, overwhelmed with joy at having gained a genius for nothing, “Let’s all say welcome to Qi Ye!
The eight people at the bottom froze for a moment and applauded in unison.
Qi Ye is standing next to the teacher, tall, with proud features and an impatient demeanour.
His eyes flickered around the students and when he saw Jiang Luo, there was a spark of wariness in his eyes.
Jiang Luo instantly understood that all those storage boxes in the hallway were Qi Ye’s things and that he was moving them to the dormitory.
Qi Ye’s Qi family is also one of the six great sects, and they learn many and varied things, some of everything, which would reasonably only seem like more than enough, but the Qi family, however, from three generations ago, every generation of descendants will have an excellent spiritual talent.
The talent allowed them to become versatile and proficient even as they learned more. These descendants ensured the position of the Qi family, squeezing them into the six families and never falling out.
Qi Ye is one of the most highly regarded young people today.
After introducing himself, Qi Ye took a seat next to Jiang Luo.
There are only nine people in the entire metaphysics class plus the newcomer Qi Ye, three in a row, three rows in total. Jiang Luo is now in the middle of the third row, with Sai Liaoer on one side and Qi Ye on the other.
Sai Liaoer is fine, after all, he is an acquaintance. But Qi Ye, Jiang Luo, always felt that he had transferred to the school for more than just the purpose of going to school.
Qi Ye sat down and took the class fairly seriously. When class was over, he stood up aggressively and walked over to Jiang Luo, dropping the familiar harsh words, “Next level, I will be number one.”
