Gu Feng had supposed for Su Mujin to undress, however when he heard these phrases, he stopped and stated: “I’ll be proper exterior. Should you need assistance, simply name for me.”

Su Mujin immediately relaxed. He was under no circumstances used to relying a lot on a stranger. Despite the fact that he understood that this particular person held no malice, he was nonetheless extraordinarily uneasy. 

He slowly eliminated his clothes, however when Su Mujin received to his proper ankle, it turned tough. It had been dislocated, and merely touching it was painful. He stood silently for a second, however lastly steeled himself — placing one hand on his foot, and one hand on his ankle, he twisted and reset the joint with one swift motion.

“Hssssss!” The stabbing ache made Su Mujin unable to carry again his cry, and he broke out in a chilly sweat.

“Are you okay?” Gu Feng was guarding the door, however as quickly as he heard the commotion, he turned to return in.

“. . . I’m fantastic.” Su Mujin held up a chunk of clothes to cowl himself. 

“We’re each males, what’s there to cover? It’s actually inconvenient for you, let me come assist.”

Gu Feng took Su Mujin’s clothes. This physique was his earlier incarnation and he’d seen it hundreds of instances, however it was essential to keep away from arousing suspicion.

Su Mujin’s jaw dropped, however he couldn’t refuse. He actually wasn’t shy, relatively he merely thought that his physique’s present situation was too ugly, and was anxious it will scare the opposite particular person.

Now that he might clearly see the true state of Su Mujin’s physique, Gu Feng stood in silence.

Skinny! So extraordinarily skinny! Su Mujin’s physique had barely any meat on it, and in a single look it could possibly be seen that he’d been malnourished for a very long time. The floor of his pores and skin was dense with bruises, and never one spot was unblemished. The beating had been actually extreme. Gu Feng vowed to seek out a possibility to show these individuals a lesson.

“It actually solely seems to be horrifying. Tomorrow it’ll be fantastic. No want to fret.” Su Mujin defined awkwardly. In the direction of his benefactor, he couldn’t assist however act nonchalant.

“Okay.”

Gu Feng gently wiped the opposite particular person’s physique clear. He was meticulous, and didn’t go away a single speck of dust. 

It was Su Mujin’s first time counting on somebody, to not point out whereas he was nonetheless undressed, and he was extraordinarily uneasy. His counterpart’s actions have been light, and bore a touch of reverence; he was at a loss as to what to do, and his ears secretly reddened.

“Okay, fall asleep now. The subsequent few days, you need to keep right here and recuperate. My place is secure.”

Su Mujin received away from bed in a fluster, saying: “Providing to shelter me for a couple of days is already sufficient, why do you need to sleep on the ground? Sleep on the mattress. I’ll be fantastic sleeping on the ground.”

“The ground is simply too chilly and can intrude together with your injured hip. Do you need to decelerate your therapeutic to extend your reliance on me?”

Gu Feng knew that inconveniencing others was what Su Mujin feared most; listening to these phrases, Su Mujin stated nothing extra.

After working round all day, Gu Feng was exhausted and rapidly fell right into a dream. The light rise and fall of respiration stuffed the room — it made one really feel comfortable. 

However Su Mujin couldn’t calm down, and lay awake for a very long time. This was the primary time in his 13 years of life that he’d slept in a mattress. It was comfortable, and the quilt was heat — so heat that he by no means wished to go away — however he couldn’t keep for too lengthy. In the long run it was unrealistic to anticipate such a superb factor to final.

When Gu Feng woke, it was already midday. He’d slept nicely and felt refreshed. The times of being imprisoned have been already dim and distant recollections, and it was fantastic to freely breathe the recent air. However he hadn’t forgotten these evil two: Gu Yunxi and Mo Ran. As long as these two individuals remained, it was as if there was a fishbone caught in his throat, and he was unable to really feel comfortable.

Su Mujin had already risen from mattress, and there wasn’t a shadow to be seen of him, nor was there a hint of the bedding left. In keeping with Gu Feng’s calculations, his counterpart had most likely . . .

Pushing open the door, positive sufficient he noticed Su Mujin airing out the quilt. The quilt and mattress had already been washed. Su Mujin’s again was dealing with him, nonetheless carrying yesterday’s tattered clothes. Solely, the garments had additionally been washed, and have been nonetheless dripping with water. 

“You’re awake. I’ve already washed the bedding, and my harm has practically healed. I’ll go away now. Thanks for yesterday.”

Su Mujin turned to go away. His exterior accidents had principally healed, and he had a simply little bit of a limp — Phoenix blood was really unbelievable.

Taking a look at that face as soon as once more, Gu Feng was distracted. 13 years previous? It had really been a very long time since he appeared like that. 

Even carrying tattered clothes, Su Mujin’s eyes have been deep black and shone as brilliantly as stars, his eyelashes have been lengthy and curled. Under the outer nook of his proper eye, there was a teardrop formed birthmark, and his pale pores and skin appeared clear within the daylight. Although he lacked a smile, the general impact was nonetheless sufficient to fill one’s coronary heart with tenderness. If he have been a woman, I’m afraid that even a primary magnificence like Gu Yunxi couldn’t examine. What a pity he was a boy . . . 

Gu Feng felt aggrieved, however whether or not for himself or for Su Mujin, he was not sure.

‘Gurgle,’ a sound interrupted Gu Feng’s self-pitying reverie. He appeared within the course of the sound, and immediately recalled a significant issue.

Shit! He had forgotten that Su Mujin had but to start fasting. He wanted to eat, and possibly hadn’t eaten since midday yesterday. In reality, Gu Feng hadn’t begun fasting both, however in the previous couple of days he consumed a fasting pellet, so he had forgotten about this downside. For a second, his coronary heart was stuffed with regret.

“You’re hungry, so how about I deal with you to eat one thing?” Gu Feng didn’t need to let his counterpart go off alone. In case he bumped into Gu Yunxi and was deceived once more, it was higher to take care of it himself. 

“I’m not . . .”

Su Mujin didn’t have the possibility to say “hungry” earlier than his abdomen betrayed him and gurgled as soon as extra. He felt embarrassed, however deserted his protest.

“Maintain on tight.” Gu Feng wished to giggle, however seeing that his counterpart was already embarrassed, he might solely power down the smile. The power of holding it in virtually brought about an inner harm.

Gu Feng reached out and his arm encircled Su Mujin’s waist. Heading down the mountain, they flew within the course of the market. Fortunately, the abilities of the qi refining interval included the flexibility to govern wind, or else a visit down the mountain would have exhausted him to the bone. At first, Su Mujin was stiff as a board, however he slowly relaxed, and reached out his hand to seize onto Gu Feng’s sleeve. 

Arriving on the market, Gu Feng led Su Mujin straight to the most important restaurant Zuixianglou — ah no, to the road stall proper subsequent to Zuixianglou, and ordered a bowl of noodles. He was a little bit regretful, however there was nothing to be executed about it as he was too poor.

Final evening, he had examined the storage ring of his shell’s unique proprietor, and found there have been solely fifty center grade spirit stones, 100 low grade spirit stones, one piece of an unknown black mineral artifact, and plenty of small instances of make-up.

On the time, he was shocked; because the son of the sect chief, how ineffective might he be? And why did he have all these instances of make-up? At Zuixianglou, they used yaoshou meat. Should you wished to eat there, you wanted loads of center grade spirit stones. Proper now, he couldn’t afford it.

“Sigh, it’s not a lot, however simply bear with it for now. Once we return tonight, I’ll cook dinner you one thing scrumptious.” Gu Feng felt a little bit responsible, however conveniently made up one more reason to make Su Mujin stick round so he would eat. After dinner, he might take the chance to counsel his counterpart keep one other evening. Wasn’t this a intelligent plan? 

“No, it’s a lot. This tastes much better than stale mantou.” Su Mujin was clearly appreciative. He was extraordinarily hungry, and started to gulp it down whereas standing. Quickly he completed consuming, and gave a glad burp which was surprisingly lovely.

Gu Feng was overwhelmed by an indescribable feeling in his coronary heart. Why did none of his three lifetimes (counting the current Su Mujin) ever have a superb life? The heavens have been really unjust!

Su Mujin completed consuming and caught Gu Feng watching him, misplaced in thought. Su Mujin didn’t know why, however he felt this particular person earlier than his eyes appeared to care about his hardships. Nonetheless, that they had solely met simply yesterday, might he be mistaken? He gazed doubtfully at Gu Feng . . .

If not for a passerby dropping a coin in entrance of Su Mujin, I’m afraid these two would have saved staring distractedly at one another till the tip of time. 

Su Mujin and Gu Feng concurrently turned towards the sound of the dropped change. The scene was extremely awkward . . .

Gu Feng was livid. Will we seem like beggars? Fuck off! Angrily, Gu Feng dragged Su Mujin together with him and charged right into a clothes store.

The shopkeeper was a younger married girl, and when she noticed Gu Feng rush in with a murderous expression on his face, she jumped with fright. Pondering he was going to smash up her store, she received able to shout for assist, however simply then she heard a low voice say: “Shopkeeper, give my companion 5 units of clothes.”

“Which . . . which colour does this little brother want?” The shopkeeper who was initially able to shout ‘assist’ instantly modified tack, unobtrusively glancing at Gu Feng. 

“Give him 5 black units.” With out ready for Su Mujin to answer, Gu Feng promptly determined for him. His earlier incarnation was ridiculed for his stunning look. Naturally he ought to put on clothes with an assertive and masculine air, and Gu Feng thought-about black to be excellent on this regard.

When Su Mujin noticed Gu Feng spend some huge cash for his sake, he felt considerably suspicious, however his coronary heart additionally felt a bit heat.

The shopkeeper grabbed 5 units of clothes and hurried over. After paying, Gu Feng selected a set and handed it to Su Mujin, indicating he ought to enter the altering room and put it on. As for his previous garments, they have been to be thrown out.

Su Mujin rapidly become the brand new garments, solely to disclose that not solely did carrying solely black not make him extra imposing, it truly made his already pale pores and skin look even whiter. He appeared a little bit flustered, and a slight blush coloured his cheeks, including to his ethereal look. He appeared exceedingly charming. 

For a second, Gu Feng’s expression was gloomier than a thunderstorm in June.

When Su Mujin noticed Gu Feng watching him in gloomy silence, he felt much more uneasy. This was the primary time in his life he’d worn a brand new set of clothes, and he was at a little bit of a loss. He hesitated a second, however nonetheless requested: “If these garments don’t look good on me, why don’t I put on my previous garments?”

Gu Feng solemnly checked out Su Mujin. It was obvious that he was shy and felt inferior — in spite of everything, they have been the identical particular person, proper?

With a sigh, he composed his expression, and slowly appeared over Su Mujin as soon as once more, lastly deciding to inform him the reality: “No, quite the opposite, you look actually good . . .” 

You look good, however under no circumstances like a boy, Gu Feng thought to himself.

Su Mujin was clearly joyful to obtain this primary little bit of reward in his life. His eyes have been gleaming as he requested: “Actually? Then I’ll put on all black any longer.”

Gu Feng felt he’d taken an arrow to the knee. He grit his tooth and stated: “. . . Nice . . .”

After shopping for the garments, Gu Fen took Su Mujin to purchase some important medicines and foodstuffs earlier than returning house. Right this moment he took a particular shortcut on the return, however midway alongside, seeing two furtive figures, he rapidly grabbed Su Mujin and ducked behind a tree to cover.
