Chapter 44 - Insufficient Charm
Teng Yu didn't know why he was in this desolate countryside, enduring the cold to tell the things that had happened that he had sealed away for a long time to a person he had only known for a few days.
He only knew that after he had said those words, he felt much more relaxed. All these years he had been suppressing his hatred and anger, and now he was about to go insane.
As for Yin Xu, when he smelt the thick scent of Yang Qi on his body, he felt exceptionally good, to the point that he forgot to pull apart the distance between the two of them.
“It's the new year in a month. How about you follow me back to the capital?” Teng Yu's deep and gentle voice sounded beside Yin Xu's ears.
“Sure.” Yin Xu answered subconsciously. He stared at the handsome face of Teng Yu that was right in front of him, with a profound look in his eyes, “I'll be fourteen in a year.”
Fourteen years old, already considered a small adult in the Great Liang.
“That's right, most children of families get married at the age of 14. When that happens, I will have to introduce them to the Seventh Young Master, right?”
“How good is it?”
“At the very least, your family's character and looks must be worthy of you.” Teng Yu began to filter through those noble ladies in the capital in his mind. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of anything that was suitable for Yin Xu.
He had not married at this age because he did not want to be a spy, but also because he had not found the person he wanted to marry.
Those young and pampered girls were either protected too well and had no knowledge of the world, or they were taught to be shrewd and scheming.
Teng Yu had always thought that women had to be intelligent, but they couldn't be good at recounting things. They had to be kind, but they couldn't be as simple as white paper.
He didn't know if this kind of woman existed in the world, but he had yet to meet her.
Yin Xu narcissistically touched his cheek, saying, “I'm afraid that would be a little difficult.”
Teng Yu shifted his gaze onto his face, portraying his facial features, he was a little dazed for a moment, but the young man's facial features could still be considered unrecognizable, his skin was fair, his eyes were shiny black, and his eyelashes were very long. Following this line of sight, he would grow out of the young man's gentle beauty and become a handsome and heroic man.
“Cough, I wonder how Marshal Huo felt when he saw you. Logically speaking, to have a son that looks like him, he should be cherishing him greatly.”
Yin Xu rolled his eyes at him, “So you're saying, the reason the emperor doesn't treasure you is because you don't look like him?”
“…” Teng Yu reached out and tapped him on the head with his finger, then scolded him with a smile: “You're the bravest one here, to actually dare criticize a ruler of the Ninth Level.”
Yin Xu secretly pursed his lips. The Venerable One of the mortal world was only a mortal who had a bit of the aura of a dragon. If it was before, he wouldn't even be fit to carry his shoes!
Unfortunately, this was no longer the past.
After listening to such a long story, Yin Xu's curiosity was satisfied. When he came back to his senses, he realized that the sky was already dark, no wonder the more he sat, the colder it got.
“Let's go, it's almost frozen into a stick!” Just as he finished speaking, a fiery red fox fur coat draped over his shoulders, enveloping him in a warm yang energy.
Yin Xu sucked in a deep breath fiercely. He did not bother to be polite with Teng Yu and only exchanged his large subordinate for him.
Teng Yu walked back while wearing the demon beast's clothes that reached to his knees. He stared at Yin Xu's fair and white face and was a little distracted, for a moment, his mind only felt that the red and white scene was extremely beautiful.
Yin Xu was used to the baptism from all kinds of gazes and the gaze that Teng Yu looked at him with did not offend him. There was no adoration, no calculation, and no fear.
He was a dignified Demon Lord, and was also admired by many in Demonic Cultivator. Yet, this man did not like him, could it be that his charm had disappeared?
Thinking about it, if it was a young man, not only would his cultivation be crippled, he would also be an extremely ordinary mortal. Indeed, he wouldn't have the ability to attract people to him.
“Is that how you look at people?” Yin Xu asked impatiently.
“Hmm?” Teng Yu retracted his gaze, and calmly replied: “Of course not, I am only thinking about a question.”
“It has something to do with me?”
Teng Yu nodded his head, he went over to him and took a whiff, and asked: “What incense do you have, it's very special.”
Yin Xu subconsciously lifted his arm to take a whiff, but he didn't smell anything through the thick fox fur coat. “What's that smell? I don't need those things. “
“Is that so?” Teng Yu was sure that he had smelled it correctly. Although the fragrance was faint, because it was very special, he remembered it very well.
Yin Xu did not take it seriously, he walked into the Huo Family Villa together with him. Just as he entered the door, a shadow rushed towards him.
