Pei Jing’s mind was already in disarray, but Chu Junyu’s words calmed him down. Those four words kept echoing in his head. Aura of Celestial Demon? Was it the same aura of Celestial Demon he had been thinking about? Whenever he broke through Nascent Soul, a chilling aura would emerge, hindering the flow of spiritual power.
Moonlight passed through the window, casting a serene and cool ambiance inside Wuya Pavilion. Chu Junyu embraced him from behind, lightly touching his chest. He leaned down, his breath as gentle as a handful of snow.
The Obsessive Shou Moves On [Rebirth] Chapter 1
“It has been dormant for a long time, probably since your birth.”
Pei Jing paused and turned abruptly. “Since my birth?”
Chu Junyu smiled faintly, his voice unexpectedly tender. “Yes, indeed. Your destiny is to never surpass Nascent Soul.”
Pei Jing frowned, recalling a scene from the novel, “Executioner’s Sword.” In the story, Pei Yuzhi sought to obtain Ji Wuyou’s Golden Core for alchemical purposes. Could it be because of this reason? He didn’t feel anxious at the moment. He had smoothly reached the perfect stage of the Golden Core, and he had foreseen the trials and tribulations that would come along. He just didn’t expect it to be at this particular moment.
“Is there any way to break free from it?”
Chu Junyu let go of his hand, accidentally brushing Pei Jing’s hair. It felt silky and cool, causing his fingers to pause momentarily, twirling the strands absentmindedly. “I can help you.”
“How can you help?”
“First, we need to find a warm pool.”
Pei Jing’s immediate reaction was rather unexpected, “Do I need to take off my clothes?”
Pei Jing: “……”
Chu Junyu: “……”
The silver-haired young man locked eyes with him for a while before speaking slowly, “No, it’s not necessary.”
Pei Jing sighed. “Alright…” He wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
Tianqian Peak didn’t have a warm pool, but the closest one should be located in the back mountain of Shu Peak. Identifying the ailment meant they couldn’t afford any delay.
On their way to Shu Peak, Pei Jing pondered some matters. Considering Chu Junyu’s character and his evident disdain for Ji Wuyou, he must have been an antagonist, appearing later in “Executioner’s Sword” and exerting overwhelming pressure on the protagonist. Unlike him, a cannon fodder character who only played a role in the early stages. Recalling Chu Junyu’s statement about coming to Yunxiao for one person, Pei Jing couldn’t help but ask, “Did you know me before coming to Yunxiao?”
However, Chu Junyu asked, “What answer do you want to hear?”
“Just don’t deceive me…”
Chu Junyu looked deeply into his eyes and said, “Yes, I knew you.”
“Am I portrayed as foolish in your memories?” Why would he be considered foolish? He remembered his outward image being quite bright and grand.
Chu Junyu smiled and replied, “By asking such a question, what do you think?”
