Ji Chaoyun was startled, after which shortly turned his head away. “By no means!”

Seeing him with this look, Feng Qi’s fingers grew to become much more itchy. He endured and pretended that nothing was mistaken. “If it’s a no, then it’s a no. Why are you blushing?”

“Am not.” Ji Chaoyun moved to the opposite facet of the rock and awkwardly declared, “Anyway… it simply can’t be that. Change to one thing else.”

Feng Qi retracted his gaze. His phrases had been accompanied with a way of loss that even he didn’t discover. “Joking with you. I didn’t actually wish to contact you, I’m not a pervert.”

Ji Chaoyun didn’t speak any extra. Feng Qi glanced at him and couldn’t assist saying, “I needed to ask earlier than. Why did you…”

“Why do I appear like this?” Ji Chaoyun didn’t intend to hide it. He bent down, resting his chin on his knees, and curled himself up. “You’ll be able to’t guess? My cultivation shouldn’t be correct; the demonic physique nonetheless stays. A half-demon, half-immortal physique.”

“So on regular days your cultivation is proscribed since you wish to disguise your demonic spirit?”

“En.” Ji Chaoyun hesitated. He pursed his lips, then slowly continued, “After I flip again into this demonic kind, my temperament… might be a little bit totally different. Up to now, I might use half of my cultivation base to calm my demonic spirit, however as soon as my feelings are agitated or affected, it turns into simpler for it to leak out and present its unique kind.”

Feng Qi: “However you have got clearly risen to an immortal degree. Why are you continue to doing this?”

“Maybe that is the worth.” His gaze fell to the darkish pool water within the distance, his eyes seeming unhappy and mawkish. “If you wish to get one thing, you need to trade it for one thing else. Heaven’s approach is all the time honest.”

Feng Qi fell silent.

For some time, he rubbed Ji Chaoyun’s hair and mentioned, “Qi Xuan received’t disclose what occurred at this time, however try to be cautious sooner or later. I can’t come that can assist you out like this each time.”

Ji Chaoyun: “Thanks.”

Feng Qi smiled. “Apart from saying thanks, are you able to say anything?”

Ji Chaoyun remained silent, his head lowered. He subconsciously gathered his skinny garments.

It was chilly and humid in Jingxin Cave. Ji Chaoyun had been within the snow for a very long time at this time. After the snow had melted and soaked his garments, he was blown by the chilly wind within the cave, turning his lips pale.

Feng Qi shortly realised that one thing was mistaken. “Chilly?”

Ji Chaoyun nodded softly, not talking.

Feng Qi exclaimed, “You, a dragon, are afraid of the chilly? What do you do whenever you return to the ocean?”

“I don’t dwell within the sea.”

Feng Qi had a sudden realisation. So Ji Chaoyun was nonetheless a freshwater dragon.

He had no expertise with dragons up to now. He continued to probe, “It’s all the identical. Whenever you enter the waters, received’t you’re feeling the chilly?”

“A dragon physique has scales to guard it. It is going to regulate.” Ji Chaoyun heard Feng Qi’s tone, as if he was a rarity, and glanced again unhappily. “I additionally wish to know, as a hearth phoenix, how will you not be chilled in any respect?”

Feng Qi grinned. His tone was fairly triumphant. “I’m born to be like this, unafraid of neither warmth nor chilly. Among the many Feng clan, solely I’ve this physique. I assumed it was unusual at first, however once I considered it later, perhaps that is due to my pure expertise.”

Ji Chaoyun couldn’t rebut him. In his coronary heart, he recalled the rumor within the academy saying that this particular person was a peacock. It was true; him casually saying this as he unfold out his practice of feathers.

Ji Chaoyun resisted the urge to roll his eyes, straightforwardly saying, “Then you might be actually superb.”

Feng Qi appeared to be notably used to this flattery. In direction of Ji Chaoyun, he stretched out his hand. “Come right here.”

Ji Chaoyun vigilantly questioned, “What are you doing?”

Feng Qi: “My physique is heat. It received’t be chilly should you come nearer to me.”

“…No want.”

“Why, nonetheless shy?” Feng Qi smiled and mentioned, “Didn’t know who it was simply now, when nonetheless dazed, stored sticking into my arms. Now you understand how to be shy?”

Ji Chaoyun was surprised. The earlobes hidden beneath the silvery hair flushed pink.

“Don’t speak nonsense, how may I—”

“I’m not speaking nonsense.” Feng Qi raised his eyebrows. “When outdated man Tianshu led some folks over, you had been pressed into my arms, appearing so coquettish; I couldn’t even pull you away. Tianshu was so scared that he thought I used to be profiting from you. Alright, come right here shortly, or I’ll catch you.”

“…” Ji Chaoyun clung to his garments’ lapel, cuttingly saying, “In the event you dare to the touch me…”

Feng Qi smiled. “Why, calling for somebody once more?”

He leaned ahead in a deliberate method and whispered maliciously, “You’ll be able to shout. There’s a sound blockage method positioned inside this meditation cave. Even when I actually do one thing to you right here, you’ll be able to’t do anything.”

Ji Chaoyun: “…”

Ji Chaoyun silently moved to the facet. Then he shifted once more, as if to attract a transparent line from Feng Qi. Luckily, Feng Qi didn’t proceed to say something. After some time, Ji Chaoyun immediately felt a heat gentle behind him.

He seemed again. Feng Qi had ignited a small cluster of heat golden flames from his palm.

Feng Qi tilted his head in direction of Ji Chaoyun from throughout the flames and smiled. “This needs to be fantastic, proper? Come nearer. Such a giant man being so delicate, not allowed to carry nor contact. Is it doable that you’re a girl?”

“You—”

Feng Qi beamed and ordered, “Come right here. In the event you get sick, how will you go to the Anonymous Sea tomorrow?”

These phrases hit proper to the underside of Ji Chaoyun’s coronary heart. Pondering of tomorrow’s affairs, he swallowed his anger and slowly moved again to Feng Qi’s facet.

The 2 quietly sat facet by facet by the pond, golden flames flickering in entrance of them. His physique, initially frozen and numb, lastly warmed up a little bit bit. Ji Chaoyun turned his head to take a look at the flames, and awkwardly raised his head.

Feng Qi’s eyes mirrored the flickering of the nice and cozy glow. That face of his grew to become much more good-looking and excellent, a gentle smile on the nook of his lips, including a way of gentleness.

This look grew to become similar to the particular person in his reminiscence.

Too ridiculous, Ji Chaoyun closed his eyes and softly acknowledged in his coronary heart, unimaginable.

It might’t be him. 

.

The Anonymous Sea was positioned within the hole between the immortal and mortal realms. This place was a barren space. 300 years in the past, the battle between gods and demons unfold to this place, and a spot was torn, regularly forming this eternal sea.

A whole lot of years handed, and this place grew to become an unobstructed place for the unhindered circulation of immortals, demons and gods.

Feng Qi took Ji Chaoyun on an immortal carriage, travelling throughout the waters. In a short time, they noticed the towering metropolis standing underneath the ocean from a distance.

Ji Chaoyun lowered the carriage’s curtain, rotated and requested Feng Qi, “What are you doing?”

“Don’t be noisy. It’s nearly finished.” Feng Qi acquired within the carriage, with a half-silver masks in his left hand and a pen in his proper one, drawing a number of clean and curved traces alongside the define of the masks’s eyes.

Ji Chaoyun patiently sat down beside him, and noticed a vivid silver dragon regularly forming on the masks underneath a number of strokes of Feng Qi’s flowing brush.

“How is it?” Feng Qi raised the masks in entrance of Ji Chaoyun and requested with a smile, “Does it appear like you?”

“…” Ji Chaoyun was silent for a second, then turned his head. “…Ridiculous.”

Feng Qi seemed very glad. He positioned the half-mask with the little silver dragon onto Ji Chaoyun’s face and mentioned, “Don’t present your true face on the sea market. I’ll provide you with this masks with a mark for straightforward identification.”

In his coronary heart, Ji Chaoyun thought, simply through the use of one’s apparel and the opposite half of the face to evaluate, how may one not recognise? This was clearly only a dangerous interest.

However even when he resisted, there was no altering the matter. He may solely let Feng Qi fiddle, and muttered, “…I see.”

The immortal carriage shortly handed by way of the barrier into the Anonymous Sea, stopping outdoors town gate.

A lot of the sea water there was blocked by the barrier. It seemed no totally different from the mortal land. Folks come and go in entrance of town gate, all carrying particular masks on their faces. One couldn’t infer their id.

“Let’s go.” Feng Qi patted Ji Chaoyun on the shoulder and jumped out of the carriage first.

He wore a golden masks on his face. The feel and form was the identical as these on Ji Chaoyun’s, besides that the phoenix tail sample was carved on the nook of his eye. Ji Chaoyun subconsciously touched the silver dragon painted by Feng Qi. A really unusual feeling appeared in his coronary heart.

It was as if… their masks had been a pair.

He shook his head, driving out some unusual emotion, and adopted Feng Qi into town.
