Chapter 131 - Baby
Edited by Molly; TL-checked by Chole
Lin Shu threw caution to the wind and said, “You can eat the medicine too.”
Xiao Shao: “I don’t want to eat.”
Lin Shu: “What do you want to do then?”
Xiao Shao picked him up, and the two leaned against the head of the bed.
Lin Shu looked at Xiao Shao.
Because their appearance was too similar, he almost had the illusion that he was being held by the Big Miss at that moment.
No. It was originally, but these two were one person after all.
Xiao Shao kissed his lips.
Where Lin Shu had no strength, he could only cling to Xiao Shao’s shoulders.
Xiao Shao asked, “Do you like me?”
Lin Shu didn’t speak.
Xiao Shao asked, “Don’t you like me?”
Lin Shu shook his head.
Xiao Shao: “You like me.”
Lin Shu looked up at him, met his gaze, and the gentle affection was shown in his gaze.
He wanted to cry again.
No one had treated him like this, and he never thought that someone would treat himself like this.
Not in his last life, and nor in this life.
Xiao Shao: “You will always be with me from now on.”
His tone was very plain, he didn’t sound like he was discussing the matter with him, but more like he was just straightforwardly and firmly informing him.
“On the battlefield, be it defeating the enemies or to be defeated, you will always be with me.” Xiao Shao said softly, “Let’s look for a beautiful place in the future, and we will live together in seclusion. If you can ascend, we can ascend together, and if you can’t ascend, let’s take the mortal road and continue to be together even after death. If you want, ask for another life when you are reborn. ”
As he said that, he hugged Lin Shu tightly, and dropped a very light kiss on his hair and cheek. “I will never bully you, I will always be good to you.”
After finishing this sentence, he looked at Lin Shu and was startled, “You... why are you crying?”
Lin Shu reached out his hand to touch his cheek, and touched the cold tears.
His throat choked, and he buried his face in Xiao Shao’s chest.
Xiao Shao patted him on the back, “Hey, stop crying.”
Then he asked, “Were you bullied when you were a child? Was it Li Yamao? I will go back and deal with him.”
Lin Shu shook his head, “It was not Li Yamao.”
Xiao Shao: “Who was it?”
Only this sentence caused Lin Shu to almost collapse.
He could not stop crying, and said dully. “All of them.. Everyone bullied me&#k2026;”
“There won’t be anyone anymore,” Xiao Shao said, “Only I can bully you in the future.”
Lin Shu: “???”
Then he listened to Xiao Shao’s next sentence. “But I won’t bully you, so no one in the world will bully you.”
He took Lin Shu out of his arms, wiped away the tears with his fingers, and said, “Hey, don’t cry anymore, we haven’t even started dual cultivating yet.”
Lin Shu thought for a while. Senior Cang was still being beaten outside and they were dual cultivating here inside. First Xiao Shao laughed at the scene, and then he cried out of control. It was really a bit shameful.
Xiao Shao gently pressed him on the bed and kissed him on the forehead.
Lin Shu felt weak, he was out of breath, and grabbed him tightly.
He seemed to have lost control of his body, and he could not tell whether he was active or passive, and he allowed Xiao Shao to act as he pleased.
The familiar cold fragrance has closely tangled at the end of his nose, and it seemed to have become an ubiquitous illusion, enveloping him and submerging him.
He was like a person who had walked deep and shallow in the snow for a long time. There was snow as huge as the gap between the sky and the earth, and the ends of his hair were frozen with ice. It was bone-chilling cold, and every step he took was painful.
——But he had always been like this, so he did not know what was cold and what was painful.
Until later, the heavy snow all over the sky turned into white and soft feathers. The cold and severe winter passed day by day, the flowers grew on the branches, and finally, he knew what warmth was.
It was not until Xiao Shao asked about who bullied him when he was a child that he finally understood what grievance was.
The water silk quilt under his body was very slippery, and the bed was so soft that it seemed to let people sink in. Everything was very comfortable, but it could not compare with Xiao Shao’s eyes.
Xiao Shao brushed away the messy hair out of his forehead.
Lin Shu looked up and gasped lightly, meeting Xiao Shao’s eyes and felt that he was in a tender place.
Xiao Shao’s voice was muffled, and said gently, “Call me Gege.”
Lin Shu gasped, “Gege...”
Xiao Shao said, “I still don’t know how to call you.”
Lin Shu was trapped in the quilt, he let out a soft breath, “It’s up to you.”
He felt that his voice was also very dumb, with a little bit of crying, and some kind of weak sweetness.
Xiao Shao: “Do you have a nickname?”
Lin Shu shook his head.
Most people in Immortal Dao have nicknames, and it was the rule of Confucian and Taoist schools to choose a nickname.
When the students of the Confucianism and Taoism Institute reach the right age, they would ask their highly respected gentlemen and elders to give them a nickname. When the people of the Immortal Dao are successful in cultivation, most of them would give themselves Taoist names, but they are not particular about choosing their nicknames.
Xiao Shao: “Let me give you one.”
Lin Shu: “Yes.”
Xiao Shao whispered in his ear, “Baby.”
Baby.
Lin Shu felt cold on his cheeks and seemed to be crying again, but he did not hold back anymore and raised the corners of his mouth.
He thought he should be a little embarrassed about what he looked like at the moment.
But if it’s in front of Xiao Shao, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal.
After all, he is this person’s Baby.
Xiao Shao said, “Don’t cry, I feel distressed.”
Lin Shu tried to restrain himself and stopped crying.
Xiao Shao said again, “Be good, don’t bear it.”
Lin Shu: “...”
This person was very inconsistent, and Lin Shu was so tossed by him that he didn’t want to cry, and even wanted to laugh a little.
Xiao Shao said, “Do you remember the techniques?”
Lin Shu nodded.
He recited the sentences in “Kinship Of the Three” silently in his mind.
It was: The body is possessed by a person, but there is originally nothing in the body. The essence of the soul is strong and omnipresent, as it is supported by the Qi energy. Yin and Yang together act as the balance, and the soul lives. The Yang energy belongs to the soul of the Sun, while the Yin energy is the spirit of the Moon. The soul and the spirit, lives together as one.
He didn’t have any spiritual power and true Qi in his body now, so there was no real effect, it was merely to clear his mind. On the contrary, in Xiao Shao’s side, the burning spiritual power passed over.
It was dry and straight, the Qi and essence spreading, flowing finely inside him; the lonely earth quietly received the essence and the wood was ignited by the fire. He received all... he was now a Taoist...
Then he felt a slight pain in his meridians, subtle but long, like a fire burning in his meridians. First it was lit in one place, and then it became a prairie fire. It traveled through his limbs and hundreds of his bones, and the eight channels of odd meridians.
He closed his eyes, meditated the exercises silently, and felt the burning fire in his body that seemed to ignite the broken meridians completely —— and then imagined the operation of spiritual power.
Just as it was about to take effect, it retreated. It softened and nourished. It cultivated and cleansed the soul and the body.
When there was nothing to burn, his body was clear and clean, the stagnation of the meridians strangely disappeared, leaving a quiet and ethereal body.
Xiao Shao asked, “Does it hurt?”
Lin Shu shook his head.
Xiao shao said, “Then we continue.”
It was originally concealed, and now his body was illuminated inside. By not speaking excessively, he could cultivate the Qi in his body. As long as the path was correct, he could cultivate successfully. The spiritual power from Xiao Shao slid into Lin Shu’s body.
It was like spring breeze and rain, and everything was growing.
The bloodline of the Phoenix family was a peerless furnace in the first dual cultivation, which enabled the dual practitioners to experience rebirth from Nirvana, possessing the most top and most impeccable meridian roots in the world.
Lin Shu closed his eyes. Something took root in his body.
All the channels where his vital energy circulated in his body were cleared and connected.
He breathed slowly and took it into his own use.
Passing through his veins, it was very smooth.
Next he recited the mental skill of the Sword Pavilion.
He began to recite the “Endless Yearning” silently.
When the exercise was halfway through, he suddenly felt strands of cold air from his Dantian begin to spread throughout his body.
He said, “Xiao Shao, I’m cold.”
Xiao Shao hugged him tightly and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Lin Shu looked at the ceiling above blankly.
He said, “Xiao Shao, I don’t want to go through it anymore.”
Xiao Shao, “What’s wrong with you?”
Cold.
This was what cold felt like.
He never knew it was cold, until he knew what warmth felt like.
But as soon as he knew what warmth was, he was about to go back to the ice and snow.
Lin Shu murmured and repeated, “I’m cold.”
Xiao Shao said, “I don’t know that the result of the dual cultivation method would be like this. Don’t be afraid, it will be over soon.”
Lin Shu shook his head, and suddenly he felt a piercing pain. He closed his eyes and grabbed Xiao Shao’s arm. His heart suddenly filled with boundless panic.
The five tones, five colors and five flavors, were stripped away from him in an instant.
