A Smile From the Villain [BL]

ASV Chapter 76: Gu Poison

Translator: Chrysanthemum Bud

(T/N: I've been translating "Gu," ie. 蛊, as "poisonous insect." 蛊 = gu = legendary venomous insect. So that's what has been in QKY this whole time. Might switch to just "gu" to get across the full meaning.)

After hearing the system prompt, Qin Kaiyi couldn't think of a solution for a while. In fact, if Shen Feixiao didn't know his identity as the masked person, it would be extremely easy to get him to kill Qin Shi, but now... whenever Qin Kaiyi thought about whether to piss off Shen Feixiao, his disastrous encounter after the great formation was set would emerge in his mind. Fine, to some extent Qin Kaiyi was right, because 99% of the consequences of making Shen Feixiao angry would be getting topped...

However, the way home was in front of him. Even if Qin Kaiyi wanted to restrain his temper and properly scheme, it was difficult to suppress the impatience in his heart, so those days that could have originally been considered leisurely became difficult to bear.

Shen Feixiao seemed not to notice Qin Kaiyi's anxiety. He still delivered delicious meals to Qin Kaiyi every day or occasionally read a book in Qin Kaiyi's room. However, most of the time he would leave after finishing the meal, busying himself with something unknown.

The relationship between the two had been so strangely deadlocked. Some studies say that humans develop a habit on the twenty-first day, and when Qin Kaiyi became aware of it it was too late... he actually unconsciously got used to Shen Feixiao accompanying him to eat.

"I haven't seen him for a few days. Where is Shen Feixiao?" Poking the tofu in his bowl, Qin Kaiyi's expression revealed dislike: "Why is it tofu again."

"... The master has something to do." The eggplant, still in a gorgeous purple dress, looked at Qin Kaiyi's picky expression and his mouth involuntarily twitched: "Qin gongzi, do you have something to find master for?" (T/N: polite form of you)

"..." Actually, I wanted to ask why there's no meat to eat when Shen Feixiao isn't here... Qin Kaiyi said silently in his heart, but he still refrained from saying this: "I have eaten tofu for several days, can you change it up?"

"The master said that when he comes back, you can eat meat." The eggplant rubbed his nose with his hand.

"..." Shen Feixiao you want to cheat me like this! After Qin Kaiyi put a piece of tofu in his mouth, his whole person was in a bad mood. Since Shen Feixiao left inexplicably half a month ago, he had eaten half a month's worth of cabbage and boiled tofu, to that point that he might turn into cabbage and tofu.

"What is Shen Feixiao leaving to do?" Although he thought that the man in purple before him was a bit familiar, he didn't connect him with the sable. Qin Kaiyi glanced at the eggplant: "When will he return?"

"The owner has something to do outside, and can only come back in about seven days." There was no clear answer to Qin Kaiyi's first question. When the eggplant looked at Qin Kaiyi, there was a little bit of obvious pity in his eyes: "Qin Gongzi please do not be anxious."

"..." How could he not be anxious, days without meat weren't for humans to live through... Qin Kaiyi sighed, put down his chopsticks, and nested in the bed again. Shen Feixiao did not allow him to go out when he wanted, and this room had no TV or computer. Aside from reading books and sleeping, Qin Kaiyi had almost no forms of entertainment available.

Seeing Qin Kaiyi returning to the bed, the eggplant began to clean up the wreckage of the food on the table. He naturally knew what Shen Feixiao had gone to do–Feng Shen Gu (T/N: legendary venomous insect conferred by the gods), this kind of thing, could not be found in any old place.

Since he forcefully walked into Tang Shayun's spiritual consciousness a month ago, he encountered some very strange things from it. What transmigration, what novel... Anyway, he had never seen these things, but when he saw these peculiarities the eggplant told Shen Feixiao all about it without reservation. The moment Shen Feixiao heard what he had to say, his expression became completely gloomy.
