Let Me Tease You [COMPLETED]

8

Ye Junchi held JiYuan down on the floor of the cage. When he found the wound he inflicted yesterday, he opened his mouth and bit down on it.

When he left, JiYuan felt like he has turned into a waste/trash.

System felt a bit worried, looking at his lifeless form, "How are you now?"

Lying down 'as quiet as a chicken' for a moment, JiYuan slowly sat up into a cross-legged position.

[T/N : Searched the web for the meaning of the saying above but got conflicted answers. Must be some slang thingy, curse you JY online slang user.]

"Feeling like my body has been emptied. System, I am having a doubt that you are lying to me now. Actually, you knew everything, right?"

System : "Ah haha, how could that be? I'm just a mediocre AI."

JiYuan : "You have a guilty conscience now."

System was silent for a while.

"There are things that I cannot tell you in advance....in short, I won't harm you. But I can reveal something to you. The original body's physique is extremely particular and can't cultivate on his own but there are some ways to cultivate. Hang on there for some time, you would be able to become stronger in the future."

It could be considered pretty good for System to say that much. After pondering for a moment, JiYuan tactfully asked, "How many days left before we reached South Lake?"

"3 days."

JiYuan sadly sighed. He doesn't understand Ye Junchi's behavior and doesn't know if he(YJC) will lend a helping hand later. But even if he did helped, maybe it was just so he could lock him up in the palace for FOC blood donations. Then, it would be really a scenario of 'out of the frying pan into the fire'.

How about begging JiSan.... right, even if System doesn't judge it as OOC, JiYuan felt scared when his eyes met with JiSan's passionate and obsessed eyes. Soon, JiYuan wouldn't have to worry about this matter anymore.

In the evening, the escort team found a piece of flat area to rest. JiYuan prepared to eat his wild fruits alone but not sure what JiSan was thinking; he suddenly opened the door of the cage and let JiYuan out to sit with him. The area was surrounded with dark woods. There were a bunch of people sitting down, encircling the fire. The moment they saw JiYuan, complex feelings were flashing in their eyes. Some looked like pity, some looked like hatred while some just like a sigh. JiYuan could feel goosebumps rising on his skin from all the stares. He stiffly sat down with a paralyzed face.

JiSan opened his mouth and said, "Three more days and we will reach South Lake, help yourself with some snacks."

From the campfire side, a burst of orderly 'Yes' rang out. When JiYuan heard that, he felt something was off. Silently glancing towards his left, his body abruptly turned stiff and his back was covered in cold sweat. He secretly counted the number of people in the group. There was an extra person. This group of people including himself was a total of 17 people, and that extra person was the person at his left. Just like those spirit games people played during high school, a bunch of people sat down together to talk about ghost stories. Then, all of a sudden there was an additional person in the group and yet, nobody noticed it. The person beside him answered 'Yes' in a lazy tone. After that he gently laughed, "Ai, so interesting."

...oh, esteemed demon lord, why are you pranking them for?!

After making sure that he was the only one who heard the voice, JiYuan turned to look beside him with a stunned look. He saw that Ye Junchi was sitting there peacefully and at first glance, his mood seemed pretty good. The people from Ji family were secretly staring at JiYuan. So when they saw JiYuan turning around, they followed suit to check. It was then they realized their group of people has unknowingly gotten an additional headcount. The relaxed atmosphere suddenly stiffened.
