Chapter 59 – Lord Xuan is jealous

Tang Qing couldn’t help but stare at that area underwater, even furrowing his brows.

At that moment, he didn’t think about why that thing was hard.

He just thought very seriously.

So big,

Is this normal?

Is it a visual distortion caused by the refraction of water?

Gu Mijing watched the little cat staring straight at him with a moment of satisfaction, but as the cat’s expression became more and more perplexed, he began to feel a bit insecure.

Why so serious?

Is he not satisfied with what he sees?

Then Tang Qing noticed that the thing underwater had gotten even bigger…

He incredulously rubbed his eyes.

Gu Mijing was still afraid of scaring the young man, so he eventually stood behind him, taking the two slender white hands in his own, saying, “Let me teach you the hand movements first.”

Unable to see what was underwater, Tang Qing finally woke up and learned the breaststroke step by step.

Tang Qing was a bit puzzled. The man’s arms looked so long, why did he have to press his bare chest tightly against his back in order to demonstrate the movements?

Oh, he understood.

It must be because his arms were too long, hehe.

The little cat flashed a narcissistic smile.

The little cat happily splashed around in the water, completely unaware that, during the teaching process, the man behind him had intentionally or unintentionally brushed against his bare shoulder blades and his round, pert area.

After swimming, Gu Mijing went back to being busy.

Tang Qing wandered around the city.

“Young Master, have you ever thought about leaving Xuanming City?” Suddenly, Lu Zefeng asked.

“Why would I leave Xuanming City?” Tang Qing had a good sense of self-awareness. With his weak strength, if he left the protection of the Lord, he probably wouldn’t survive past three chapters.

“Do you have any other family members, Young Master?” Lu Zefeng asked with concern.

“I have an older brother, but,” Tang Qing pursed his lips, “I don’t know where he is now.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zefeng’s eyes immediately lit up. “Young Master, if your brother comes looking for you, would you go with him?”

Tang Qing didn’t quite understand the meaning of this question.

Lu Zefeng explained, “Recently, a Level 4 wind ability user contacted me privately, named Tang Bo, claiming to be your brother. He’s waiting for you ahead. Take a look and see if it’s him.”

After Lu Zefeng described the person, he indeed looked very much like Tang Qing’s brother.

Lu Zefeng led Tang Qing to a forest at the edge of Xuanming City.

A tall figure with a straight back was leaning against a large tree, obviously having waited for a long time.

It was Tang Bo, the brother he hadn’t seen in a long time.

“Gege!” Tang Qing rushed up in a single bound and embraced the man.

“Be good, my precious little brother.” Tang Bo was also very happy to see Tang Qing, and the two embraced each other tightly.

It turned out that Tang Bo had completed his mission and recently found a way to enter the small world to come find Tang Qing.

“Come with me, gege. I’m a big shot at the base now, I’ll have your back.”

Unexpectedly, Tang Bo had also become a Level 4 big shot after joining midway, truly living up to his veteran status within the system.

The weak Tang Qing couldn’t help but look up to his brother in admiration.

Seeing the adoring look in his brother’s eyes, Tang Bo felt extremely pleased.

He wouldn’t reveal the truth that he had exchanged his ability by spending all his points.

“However, I still need to stay by Gu Mijing’s side for the mission,” Tang Qing replied.

“Whether you stay by the side of a villain or not, it’s all the same. Now that the male and female leads are together, the next step is to go defeat the boss. You just need to help them defeat the boss,” Lu Zefeng explained.

Tang Qing was taken aback.

So, he didn’t need to stay by Gu Mijing’s side anymore?

Seeing Tang Qing’s dazed expression, Tang Bo’s gaze became more serious. “Could it be that you… have feelings for that Lord Xuan?”

“Ah? No, it’s not… Don’t talk nonsense!” Tang Qing’s face immediately turned red, his ears perked up, and he was so nervous he almost bit his tongue. He didn’t understand why he was feeling so anxious.

Seeing the suspicious blush on Tang Qing’s face, Tang Bo narrowed his eyes slightly. “Tang Tang, that Lord Xuan is not a good person. Don’t really consider staying with him.”

“But… Gu Mijing has always been good to me. He’s a good person.” Tang Qing couldn’t help but argue back.

In Tang Qing’s heart, Gu Mijing was indeed the best person in this world to him. Although Gu Mijing was considered a villain, Tang Qing hadn’t witnessed him doing anything morally wrong.

“A good person.” Tang Bo sneered as if he heard a joke, “Xiao Lu, tell Tang Tang what you saw.”

“Young Master, that day in the deep forest, after you saved the panda, you fell asleep. Actually, Lord Xuan came by.” Lu Zefeng observed Tang Qing’s expression and somewhat guiltily continued, “I’m sorry, Lord Xuan made me promise to keep it a secret, so I didn’t dare to tell you.”

Tang Qing was stunned.

That day, he was in the deep forest being entwined by vines…

“Your so-called good guy Lord Xuan, besides his Dark Ability, he also has a Wood Ability, which allows him to control vines and use things like overlapping incense.” Tang Bo looked at his naive and ignorant little brother, feeling like he wanted to drag that Lord Xuan out and give him a beating.

“In any case, none of his abilities are straightforward.”

Thinking back to that day with the vines and the faint floral scent he sometimes smelled when sleeping with Gu Mijing, the itching on his feet upon waking up, the stinging pain in his chest…

Tang Qing’s expression darkened slightly.

Taking advantage of Tang Qing’s loosened expression, Tang Bo took him away. Lu Zefeng was familiar with the route and could freely come and go, so the three of them quickly left Xuanming City.

The base where Tang Bo was located was also quite large. Although not as grand as Xuanming City, it was orderly and well-equipped.

Halfway through their stroll, one of Tang Bo’s subordinates rushed over and reported some information. Tang Bo’s expression darkened, he glanced at Tang Qing, and said in a deep voice, “That despicable man just won’t give up.”

Tang Bo hurriedly left.

Lu Zefeng led Tang Qing to his room. The room was quite spacious, with a large French window.

Tang Qing stood in front of the French window, gazing at the scenery outside.

“You have a leaf on your face, Young Master.”

“Since we’re here, don’t call me Young Master,” Tang Qing said awkwardly.

“Then, can I call you Tang Tang?” Lu Zefeng couldn’t help but ask, looking at the youth’s delicate face.

Tang Qing was taken aback. His intention was for Lu Zefeng to just call him by his name.

“Tang Tang, there’s something here.” Lu Zefeng said as he approached Tang Qing, pointing it out.

“Where?” Tang Qing absentmindedly touched his face, his fair skin glowing in the sunlight, looking dazed and innocent.

“Here.”

Lu Zefeng moved closer, looking at the cherished face, and was about to touch it.

Bang!

He suddenly received a kick out of nowhere, falling hard to the ground.

“Xiao Lu!” Tang Qing was startled.

A swarm of black particles rolled in from the window, and a man in black appeared out of thin air, his expression cold and severe.

“Lord Xuan?” Tang Qing exclaimed in surprise. Was Gu Mijing here to find him?

“You dare to take him away.” Lord Xuan looked coldly at Lu Zefeng.

If this person had really touched Tang Qing just now, he would have definitely broken that hand.

“Lord Xuan, you can’t bully him just because Tang Tang trusts you,” Lu Zefeng wiped the blood from his mouth, struggling to stand up.

“Tang Tang? Is that what you call him?”

The man raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Zefeng, suddenly appearing in front of him, grabbing his neck and lifting him up.

Lu Zefeng’s face turned purple, his throat emitting a wheezing sound as he weakly struggled with his hands, his breathing gradually stopping.

“My Lord! Please…” Tang Qing couldn’t help but run up, trying to separate the two.

Upon hearing this, the man threw Lu Zefeng aside and turned to Tang Qing, “Tang Tang, are you ready to go with them?”

Tang Qing lowered his gaze and muttered, “My Lord, I want to be with my brother.”

Gu Mijing exuded a terrifying aura, his gaze as cold as frost. “Don’t even think about it. For the rest of your life, you can only stay in Xuanming City.”

Tang Qing’s eyes widened slightly. “I… I can’t leave?”

Gu Mijing reached out to touch the young man’s face, rubbing the spot where Lu Zefeng had almost touched vigorously, until the fair skin was marked with red imprints.

“No.” His voice was as cold as ice.

Struggling to his feet, Lu Zefeng clenched his teeth and, using his full power as a Level 3 Fire Ability user, summoned a dazzling fire dragon out of thin air, roaring towards Gu Mijing.

With a wave of his hand, the towering flames disappeared silently in front of him.

“You think you can compete with me like this?”

Without turning around, the man summoned strong vines that firmly bound Lu Zefeng’s limbs.

Tang Qing, who had been somewhat doubtful whether Gu Mijing was the person in the deep forest, was now watching the man’s abilities. After some time, he opened his mouth in disbelief, “Vines… are your ability?”

The man’s voice directly locked onto Tang Qing, his eyes profound and unpredictable, as if he wanted to devour the youth. It seemed like he was tired of hiding, his eyes filled with a dark and mad obsession, his voice low, his lips curling into a cold smile:

“That’s right, it’s always been me. When you were asleep at night, and I licked you all over your body after making you faint, it was me. When I covered your eyes in the deep forest and played with you against the tree trunk, it was also me.”

“Every day when I see you, I’m thinking over and over again about how to have my way with you.”

Tang Qing looked incredulously at the man before him, who seemed paranoid and crazy, as if for the first time he truly saw this person.

“You… didn’t you say you liked girls?”

“I thought you were a girl at first, so I liked girls; now that you’re a boy, I like boys.”

With that, the man didn’t spare a glance for the struggling Lu Zefeng behind him, and leaned in towards the youth.

Tang Qing’s wrists were suddenly grabbed by a strong and forceful hand. Before he could react, his hands were already pinned on either side of his head, pressed against the French window, unable to move.

The man pressed firmly against him, his strong and scorching chest tightly against him.

Tang Qing’s eyes widened, Lu Zefeng was still watching from behind…

His jaw was clenched, and without hesitation, the man leaned in for a kiss. His lips were quickly covered with a gentle yet powerful force, causing Tang Qing’s heart to race. His throat tightened as the man’s tongue slipped in.

Before he could even react, the deep and intense kiss had become scorching, and he could only make some unconscious sounds, his mind blank as Gu Mijing continued to explore and tease in his mouth.

Gu Mijing sucked on his tongue, holding it firmly, exploring all over his mouth. Overwhelmed by the kiss, Tang Qing felt weak at the knees, barely able to stand without leaning on the man. Lifting his head, his eyes filled with watery light.

The man gazed deeply at Tang Qing, lifted him around the waist, and vanished from the base.

“Tell that foolish brother of Tang Qing’s to stop causing trouble.”

…

Upon returning to the base, Tang Qing realized he was being held captive.
