Chapter 182: Unknown Things
After hugging for a while, the two let go of each other and entered the ancient palace. They went to their bedroom and sat beside each other at a low stone table.
"Azhen, are you okay? Is your realm stable?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Mmm." Yu Nianzhen answered and frowned.
When he broke through to the qi transformation realm, he didn’t expect his cultivation to rise to the peak.
Fortunately, he had always been steady and didn’t panic when it happened.
"Is something the matter?" Jiang Yue noticed the frown on his husband’s face and couldn’t help but worry.
"XiaoYue, I seem to have contracted a demonic beast." Yu Nianzhen said and frowned some more.
"How? When?"
"When I broke through, I felt some kind of contract, but I know nothing more."
"Could it be our Taoist couple soul contract?"
"It’s not that." Yu Nianzhen confirmed.
He didn’t know how it happened, but he was sure he felt a contract when he broke through. Unfortunately, the contract disappeared after the breakthrough, and he could no longer find it.
"This is too strange." Jiang Yue said and joined Yu Nianzhen to frown.
"How can you form a contract and not know it?"
"It has to be the wine from back then. I think the wine was mixed with the blood of a demonic beast."
After thinking about it, Yu Nianzhen could only come up with this explanation. Otherwise, he didn’t know how he could have contracted a demonic beast and not know it.
"That wine is the gift that keeps on giving." Jiang Yue grumbled.
When the two double-cultivated their souls, all their secrets were revealed to each other. At that time, Jiang Yue naturally saw the black-clothed young man who gave wine to his husband, and he always felt that something was off with the person.
"Are you thinking that the young man was a transformed demonic beast?" Jiang Yue asked.
"I think so." Yu Nianzhen answered, but his frown did not let up.
Although demonic beasts could transform, only class five beasts could change into humans.
Knowing that, it was difficult to believe that a class five demonic beast took the initiative to form a contract with him.
Most importantly, the thousand herbs garden was only open to cultivators of the origin forging realm. It was impossible for a class five beast, which was equivalent to cultivators of the nascent soul level to enter the secret realm.
"Do we want to speak to master about this?"Jiang Yue asked.
If Yu Nianzhen had really formed a contract with a class five demonic beast, his cultivation would continue to be erratic until he broke through to the beast’s level.
"Let’s wait for a while. We will speak to him when we meet at the conference." Yu Nianzhen said.
"Do you know what kind of demonic beast you have contracted?"
"I don’t know." Yu Nianzhen said and sighed.
"I felt an ancient breath from the contract but nothing else."
"What kind of connection did you feel from the contract?"
"Don’t worry." Yu Nianzhen said and rubbed his husband’s hair.
He understood what the other was worried about, and he rushed to reassure him.
"It felt like an equal contract."
"That’s good." Jiang Yue sighed in relief.
There were two kinds of contracts between cultivators and demonic beasts.
One was an equal contract where both benefited from each other. In this kind of contract, neither of the parties was enslaved, and cultivation benefits were freely shared.
The meaning of this was that the rise in the cultivation of one party would pull up the cultivation of the other.
The second type of contract was a master-slave contract.
In most cases, a cultivator would contract a beast as a slave, but it was also possible for a demonic beast to take a cultivator as a slave.
In this kind of contract, the master party unilaterally exploited the slave party. At worst, the slave party would be hollowed out and eventually die.
Fortunately, the demonic beast that formed a contract with Yu Nianzhen was not malicious.
"We can’t let our guard down in this world." Jiang Yue said and tried to calm his lingering fear.
"We need to be more careful." Yu Nianzhen agreed.
Since they couldn’t figure out the matter of Yu Nianzhen’s contract beast, Jiang Yue changed the topic.
"What do you think of our new memories?" He asked.
"I keep feeling there is an obvious thing I am missing."
"You too?"
"Mmm."
Although he didn’t know what kind of deal they made, Yu Nianzhen was surprisingly unworried about it.
This was contrary to his character, but for some reason, he couldn’t bring himself to worry.
"I always feel there is an obvious connection between our lost memory and our current situation. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to make the connection."
"Maybe the time is not right." Yu Nianzhen suggested.
"You may be right." Jiang Yue agreed, and the two fell silent.
There were many unknown things in their lives, and the two felt a little uneasy.
However, they understood that things could not be forced.
If they wanted to know the truth, they needed to keep going forward. One day, the right stars would align, and the truth would unfold before their eyes.
"I have decided what I want to do for the next few years." Jiang Yue suddenly said.
He had a smile on his face, and Yu Nianzhen was mesmerised.
"Do I look good?" Jiang Yue teased.
"Very good looking." Yu Nianzhen pulled him closer and kissed him.
"The best looking."
Jiang Yue chuckled and leaned on his husband’s chest.
"Don’t cause trouble." He said.
"Who is causing trouble?" The troublemaker dipped his hands into Jiang Yue’s robe and caressed his soft skin.
"You..., we are discussing something serious." Jiang Yue said and wiggled away from his husband.
"Alright, I am listening."
"While you are training in the Black Wind Abyss, I will go to the city closest to the Abyss."
Yu Nianzhen frowned when he heard that.
He didn’t want Jiang Yue to lose training opportunities because of him. However, he didn’t say anything and decided to wait for his husband to explain his entire plan.
"I will find work in a tea house or wine shop." Jiang Yue said, and Yu Nianzhen was taken aback.
"What are you planning?"
"I was originally an entertainer. I want to practice my illusions at an entertainment place." Jiang Yue explained.
"It makes sense, but you have to be careful."
He knew Jiang Yue could take care of himself, but some dangers could not be eliminated. With Jiang Yue’s looks and talent, he would be noticed sooner or later.
At that time, it was easy to cause trouble.
"Don’t worry. I will wear a mask and never show my true face."
"Good."
After saying that, his eyes narrowed, and Yu Nianzhen looked at his husband with a wicked smile.
"I seem to remember that you owe me a dance." He said.
"What dance? I don’t remember such a thing."
"Is that so? Shall I remind you?"
Without waiting for an answer, Yu Nianzhen scooped the person and carried him to the bed.
Before Jiang Yue could react, his clothes were removed, and his limbs were tied to the bedposts.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"What do you think?" Yu Nianzhen smirked and tied a blindfold around his husband’s eyes.
"I couldn’t tell that you are a naughty boy." Jiang Yue smiled, and his body flushed in excitement.
Instead of giving an answer, Yu Nianzhen chuckled.
He then leaned over and trailed a piece of cloth on his husband’s body.
"Nggh..." Jiang Yue groaned.
Maybe because he was tied up and couldn’t see, his body was more sensitive than usual.
He wanted Yu Nianzhen to touch him, but the swordsman didn’t have such plans.
"Are you sure you don’t remember what you owe me?" He asked in a lazy voice.
"Don’t put debts on my head...., I don’t owe you anything."
"We will see about that."
After saying that, Yu Ninzhen bent over and blew on Jiang Yue’s nipple. The nipple hardened and stuck out, waiting for warm lips to close around it.
Unfortunately, Yu Nianzhen was in the mood to play.
Not only did he not kiss his husband, but he also didn’t touch him.
For the next short while, he used different methods to tease his husband until Jiang Yue was incoherent.
When Jiang Yue couldn’t take it anymore, a callused hand closed around his erection and prevented him from releasing.
"Azhen..." Jiang Yue cried pitifully.
"What do you want?"
"Let me come." The silver-haired beauty begged.
"Do you dare to come when I haven’t touched you?"
Jiang Yue wanted to cry when he heard that.
His good husband had somehow turned into a pervert, but Jiang Yue didn’t dislike it.
At a loss, he jerked his hips upwards, and the hand around his erection instinctively tightened, causing a strangled moan to escape his lips.
