Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being
chapter-775-5

When Xuan Wushe said these words, Lin Zhan suddenly felt that in this man’s world, there were both seas and stars, as well as mountains and streams.

He really loved this childlike man in front of him.

And he even had a kind heart so rare among cultivators.

Lin Zhan asked softly, “Those who killed His Majesty’s red fox, how are they doing now?”

Xuan Wushe snorted coldly. “Later, I managed to catch a Lightning Serpent beast cub after much difficulty. This kind of demonic beast may appear cute and small, but in fact, it has extremely strong attack power and is very rare. As expected, those ignorant people didn’t recognize the Lightning Serpent beast. Later, they took the beast away to play with while I was out, but they were killed by the serpent. Their family members later asked me for an explanation, so I had someone kick them all out and even snatched back the Lightning Serpent beast and released it into the beast clan’s territory.”

Lin Zhan: “….”

Okay, so he was blind to believe Xuan Wushe was kind-hearted.

Xuan Wushe looked up at Lin Zhan, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw that Lin Zhan had a single gray hair on his temples, he suddenly forgot what he was going to say just now.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Zhan asked.

“You have gray hair.” Xuan Wushe raised his hand and pinched a strand of white hair from Lin Zhan’s temple.

Lin Zhan looked down at his white hair indifferently. “Birth, old age, sickness, and death are human nature.”

Seeing his calm response, Xuan Wushe sat up and asked with a slight frown, “How old are you?”

Lin Zhan: “Probably in my thirties.”

“You’re only in your thirties.” Xuan Wushe looked at him, “How can you be so calm?”

Lin Zhan smiled as he leaned into Xuan Wushe’s arms and hugged his waist. “Immortality, eternal life–it’s indeed what everyone dreams of, but it’s too tiring to fight against the heavens. I just want to see the people I like every day and do the things I like while I’m alive. I want to live so that I will have no regrets even if I die in the future–that is enough.”

Xuan Wushe sneered at this, “You sure are open-minded.”

Lin Zhan said, “What can you do even if you’re not open-minded?”

Xuan Wushe: “But I don’t want you to die.”

Looking at Lin Zhan’s eyes that were always smiling and full of emotion, Xuan Wushe said seriously, “I want to spend a hundred years, a thousand years, and even ten thousand years with you. I want you to be with me.”

This was probably the most tender sentence that Xuan Wushe had ever said to him. Lin Zhan later thought, if it wasn’t because Xuan Wushe was extremely drunk that day, he probably wouldn’t be able to say such a thing.

But after Xuan Wushe sobered up, he quickly changed tune.

Lin Zhan couldn’t help feeling amused. Xuan Wushe was already a grown up, yet he was still shy like a child. He must have remembered those corny things he said while drunk and couldn’t tell whether he was angry at himself or Lin Zhan, so in a fit of anger, he temporarily decided to snub Lin Zhan and wait until the anger passed.

After Lin Zhan figured this out, he was about to die of laughter.

How could there be such an awkward and funny person like Wushe in this world?

Lin Zhan accepted all the things that Xuan Wushe sent and went to the mountains and rivers every day, admiring the flowers and the moon, living a very comfortable and free-flowing life.

—–

Although Xuan Wushe was not around, he would listen to reports from the shadow guards sent over to observe Lin Zhan’s activities every day.

“Today, Lord Guangling went to the East Market, bought three pieces of mussel meat, and made grilled fish himself.”

Xuan Wushe asked, “How did it taste?”

The shadow guard was a straightforward person: “The taste was very good. The outside was crisp and the inside was tender.”

Xuan Wushe glared coldly at this shadow guard. “Have you eaten it?”

The guard’s body stiffened. “Lord Guangling shared the food with us, saying that he bought too much, and he alone would definitely not be able to finish it, so it would be wasted.”

Xuan Wushe suddenly became unhappy.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at this rather handsome guard, feeling a little wronged. He hadn’t even gotten to eat any food made by Lin Zhan, yet these subordinates had already eaten it. They were obviously closer, so how could he be treated worse than these guards?

Xuan Wushe: “From today onwards, you don’t have to guard him anymore.”

The shadow guard showed a look of reluctance.

“Why, don’t want to?” Xuan Wushe’s voice turned dangerously low.

“The main reason is that Lord Guangling’s cooking skill is really too good.” The shadow guard couldn’t help licking the corner of his mouth when he remembered the taste. “Not only grilled fish, but also boiled pork slices with mushrooms, stir-fried kidneys, egg tarts, and so on. They’re all very delicious. Your Majesty, why don’t you let me continue guarding Lord Guangling, and my salary can be halved?”

Xuan Wushe: “…..”

He was even more upset, what should he do?

Whatever.

So, instead of halving his salary, this gluttonous guard got promoted and made a fortune.

Xuan Wushe handed the person over to Zhuang Xinglan directly. “This kid is a malleable talent, so let him follow you.”

Zhuang Xinglan looked at the guard gnawing madly on a chicken leg and said with a dazed expression, “Your Majesty, don’t tell me you’re deliberately retaliating against me? Didn’t I already explain that nothing happened between me and Guangling? Marrying him as a wife was just wishful thinking back then, and he didn’t even know it.”

Xuan Wushe thought to himself, How dare you mention that matter.

Xuan Wushe said lightly, “Are we that kind of narrow-minded person in your mind?”

Zhuang Xinglan shook his head naturally.

Xuan Wushe: “That brat has never feared me, from the beginning to the end, so he should do very well on the battlefield. You must give him a chance to show off his talents.”

Zhuang Xinglan scratched his head. “Why do I get the feeling that he has offended Your Majesty when I hear this?”

Xuan Wushe said calmly, “You are wrong.”

After getting rid of this daring guy who dared to taste Lin Zhan’s cooking before him, Xuan Wushe went to the Lotus Garden under the pretense of blessing Lin Zhan with a personal visit.

Before arriving at the courtyard, Xuan Wushe could already smell the aroma of rice.

Xuan Wushe walked in without anyone announcing his arrival.

Lin Zhan was cooking by the lake today. The Lotus Garden had raised some low-level demonic beasts that had no attack power and couldn’t transform into human forms to add some vitality to the courtyard. Now, Xuan Wushe could see those little things wagging their tails at his lover and howling pleadingly.

Xuan Wushe: “…”

Lin Guangling, what are you doing?

Lin Zhan picked up a one-horned demon cat who was just born and couldn’t even walk steadily, and took a bottle he made himself to feed it.

Xuan Wushe came over, stood behind Lin Zhan, bent down and asked, “What are you doing?”

Lin Zhan was startled and almost threw out the bottle in his hand.

Seeing Xuan Wushe, Lin Zhan smiled. “I’m feeding it milk, this is a little kitten I just picked up from outside. It’s not very good at eating food yet, so I can only feed it like this.”

Xuan Wushe looked expressionlessly at the meowing cat demon pretending to be pitiful and innocent. “It can’t even drink milk by itself. It’s so useless as a demonic beast; why is it even alive?”

Lin Zhan patted the head of the frightened cat demon. “Don’t say that, isn’t the cat demon alive just to act cute?”

Xuan Wushe: “What does it mean to act cute?”

Lin Zhan thought for a while, then said with a smile, “Exactly what it’s doing now.”

Xuan Wushe watched helplessly as this shameless cat demon, who was only as big as his palm, rubbed its head back and forth in Lin Zhan’s palm and even meowed shamelessly.

Xuan Wushe: “I don’t like it.”

Lin Zhan hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly put the little kitten on the ground, stroked its head, and said, “Go play with your little friends first. I will play with you after His Majesty is gone.”

The cat demon flashed what it thought was a super fierce grin at Xuan Wushe, then meowed at Lin Zhan a few times, then ran away with staggering steps while frequently glancing back.

Xuan Wushe’s face darkened as he pulled Lin Zhan up. “You shouldn’t live here anymore.”

Lin Zhan was taken aback. “What’s the matter? I live here quite well.”

Xuan Wushe thought in his heart, Yeah, you live really well here. You enjoy playing with cats and dogs every day. We haven’t seen each other for so many days, yet you don’t ask any news about me, as if you don’t care about me at all.

Xuan Wushe looked at Lin Zhan. “Why, you don’t want to live with me in the palace?”

Lin Zhan was slightly surprised at first, then smiled. “I’m afraid that with my status, it won’t be suitable for me to live in the palace. After all, there are three people living in Your Majesty’s back courtyard already. It’s fine if I normally don’t see them, but if I see them frequently and must humble myself before them, there will always be conflicts.”

Xuan Wushe: “They dare not trouble you.”

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist making trouble for them.” Lin Zhan chuckled happily and narrowed his eyes. “Your Majesty, I’m not someone who can be easily bullied, and it’s not like Your Majesty doesn’t know how I feel about you. Even though I know in my heart that Your Majesty has no relationship with them, these people still have official status. It will make me feel uncomfortable.”

Xuan Wushe didn’t expect Lin Zhan to mention this matter.

In the past, Lin Zhan never mentioned the three concubines, so Xuan Wushe always thought that Lin Zhan was someone who accepted that.

“We already made it clear at the beginning.” Xuan Wushe said, “They will not hinder you in the slightest. ”

“It’s true that I didn’t care about them in the beginning, but at that time, I only had a slight liking for Your Majesty.” Lin Zhan was a person who did whatever he wanted, and his blunt honesty was different from Xuan Wushe’s awkwardness. “But now, my feelings for His Majesty are different from before.”

When Lin Zhan said this, he showed a wry smile, lowered his eyes and continued, “Of course, Your Majesty can just think of this as me complaining. After all, my words hold little weight, and I’m just a pet to warm Your Majesty’s bed.”

Xuan Wushe: “How is your feeling for me different from before?”

Lin Zhan pretended to be a timid little wife. “I dare not say.”

Xuan Wushe laughed softly, then raised his hand and tapped Lin Zhan’s forehead. “You already said all the good and bad things, so what are you still afraid to say?”

Lin Zhan looked at him and said nothing.

Xuan Wushe: “If you make me happy today, I will send the three of them away when I return to the palace, so that you will not be seeing them at all. Do you know what to do now?”

Lin Zhan’s eyes lit up a little, and he said with a smile, “I know. His Majesty is still a child, and he needs to be coaxed to be happy.”

Xuan Wushe: “…Is that how you speak nicely to make me happy?”

Heh, men.
