This Damned Thirst for Survival
chapter-127

The noise of the chatter poured into Chi You’s ears like pins and needles.

Chi You did not hear Jiang Luo’s voice in it.

But he knew that Jiang Luo would be watching him.

Chi You never cared what people thought of you or whether you believed the rumours.

He held back, not to back down, but as a viper coiled up looking for the best time to retaliate. Chi You knew that he couldn’t let the sidekicks keep throwing mud at him, so Chi You put on a gentle and kind face, pretending that everyone didn’t believe he would do those bad things, pretending that everyone believed it was the sidekicks’ own doing.

Only then can he ease into the initiative.

But Chi You was standing in the middle of the crowd, wondering what Jiang Luo would think of him.

His “wife”, I’m afraid, didn’t know he had such a past.

Jiang Luo looks puzzled from the sidelines.

Who is Chi You?

It is the evil spirit that kills ruthlessly, the madman who is hypocritical and gloomy and uses all means to pleasure himself.

How happy was he to come along and end up as a teenager and just get dirty water thrown on him by the side?

Jiang Luo should have been happy that Chi You was treated so badly.

But his eyes gradually turned cold, and his heart burned with anger.

Instead of feeling much pleasure, he was on the verge of being furious.

Jiang Luo is not shy about admitting one thing, and that is that the Evil Dead is a perfect hater for his tastes.

The stronger Chi You gets, the more his excitement to conquer the evil spirit grows. Time and again, Jiang Luo and Chi You become more and more familiar with each other’s skills.

Their sparring confrontation was tinged with smoke and blood, as if they were dancing together in a flamboyant dance on the tip of the sword of life and death.

These understandings never let them go soft on each other, even when they were out of bed Jiang Luo could pick up a knife and viciously stab Chi You in the lobe of his lung, even when Chi You was in bed he would choke him without mercy.

It’s their unique way of getting along.

Both Jiang Luo and Chi You enjoy this approach.

But this hater, who hadn’t grown up yet, was bullied into this by a common, even disgustingly disgusting, young master of the sidekick family.

This is a cheap and dirty way to humiliate the enemies of Jiang Luo.

— Jiang Luo didn’t even fucking bully Chi You into this.

Just as Chi Tian was thinking about where to go for a quickie tonight, he heard a snicker from behind him.

Chi Tian’s beautiful fantasy was interrupted and he looked back with displeasure to see Chi You’s newly married man-wife curling her lips, “Pfft, sorry, I just thought it was funny so I couldn’t help but laugh.”

Chi Tian’s face lightens up when faced with a beautiful woman, even if she is a man, “What’s interesting?”

The dark haired youth’s crimson lips picked up higher, “You’re funny.”

Chi Tian was stunned, and then smiled gleefully. He looked at Chi You with hidden amusement, thinking that this young master of the Jiang family was quite clever, knowing that Chi You was about to fall and had come to hug him.

Jiang Luo’s smile tickled him again, and Chi Tian coughed in a feigned seriousness, “What’s so interesting about me?”

“That’s the funny thing about telling lies without telling them,” the long-haired beauty said as she stepped up to the teenager and took his hand with a smile, Yu Guang finally showing a bit of a sneer as she swept past the fat-headed Chi Tian, “Chi You and I are newlyweds. We’ve been living together every day and night, and last night we were together too. Is it because I have a bad face, or is it because young master Chi wanted to go to the lake on a cold night instead of sleeping that he made this mistake?”

Chi You looked at him sideways, startled.

Chi Tian’s face trembled, “You, you’re full of shit!”

Jiang Luo said lazily, “I’m telling the truth, so how can I be full of shit?”

Chi Tian said, “I watched him kill someone and throw them into the lake, and he asked me to keep his secret, so you’re not full of shit!”

When he finished, he found that Jiang Luo had not listened to him at all, but had comforted Chi You in a gentle voice. Chi You looked at Jiang Luo for a long time and finally burst into laughter.

Chi Tian turned blue with anger, “Are you listening to me!”

Only when he was about to break down in anger did Jiang Luo give him a light look, “Then how come you’re not full of shit?”

“Don’t you see the marks on Chi You’s neck?” Chi Tian followed Jiang Luo’s words and subconsciously looked between Chi You’s neck, Jiang Luo laughed, “Isn’t that evidence that he was with me, and if he really raped and killed someone, that maid could still kiss back on his neck?”

Chi Tian was stunned, but then became furious and rushed up to Jiang Luo, raising his slap and saying, “Shut up!”

But before the slap could be delivered, Chi Tian’s hand was caught in Chi You’s grip. Chi Tian was about to warn him to let go of his hand when the pain came and Chi You broke his hand.

Chi Tian screamed out in pain, ” Chi You, you bastard, let go of me! Let go!”

“Where’s the man! Somebody pull him off! Ahhhhhhh!”

The screams were louder, and Chi Tian fell to his knees as Chi You kicked him in both knees, twisting his calves just below his knees and leaving his legs intact.

At the sight of this scene, the maids and servants scattered with shouts of alarm, and some of the quick-witted ones ran off to find the elders of the Chi family.

“Aaaahhhh it hurts!” Chi Tian tears and snot smeared all over his face, ” Chi You , you bastard, how dare you hurt me, you-”

The rest of the words were caught in Chi Tian’s mouth and he couldn’t get them out. His eyes widened in horror and he felt as if something had forced his mouth to stick together. The next moment, Chi Tian couldn’t control his teeth and he bit down hard on his tongue, which was severed by the pain. But the horror didn’t stop there, his teeth continued to chew on the broken tongue as hard as they could, turning it into flesh one by one.

The blood and flesh flowed from the corners of Chi Tian’s sealed mouth as he screamed.

Chi You’s face was a little pale, he clenched his fists, the veins on his neck were taut, as if he was using all his strength to endure the pain, his voice could no longer remain steady, “Jiang, young master, please go and get me …… a pen and paper.”

Jiang Luo could see that this was an excuse, that Chi You was trying to get rid of him.

Before he could answer yes or no, Chi You bent his legs and fell heavily to his knees, his hands clutching the soil of the ground.

With every breath Chi You took, blood spurted out of his mouth and nose with each gasp, and his organs seemed to move at a distance. His veins twisted and spurted from the backs of his hands to his neck, and Chi You gritted his teeth as the dull, cutting pain ripped through every part of his body, even as his nails were split by the grit, leaving several bloody marks. His eyes were red with blood, and every vein seemed to burn as if it were boiling hot water.

Chi You’s expression is fierce, and he shudders on his knees, not like a man, but like a frightening beast. Next to Chi Tian, who was already in pain, he was suffering as if the pain had multiplied several times over.

Chi You remembers Jiang Luo’s presence in the haze of dull pain between ragged gasps for breath and awareness.

He moved suddenly and slowly. Each subtle movement felt like the skin was being scraped off his body, but slowly, insistently, he turned around, his shivering spine turned back to Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo looked stunned and understood in a flash that this was the curse that prevented the first line of the Chi family from harming the second line.

He also understood what Chi You was trying to do by turning him away.

It was the pride of a teenager who did not want Jiang Luo to see him in such a messy, filthy, ugly and hideous state.

Jiang Luo’s emotions became mixed for a moment as he took a deep look at Chi You, took a step back and finally left the place in a hurry, just as Chi You had hoped.

The moment he heard the footsteps leave, Chi You completely relaxed the last of his tense expression, and the next moment, the pain that seemed to be tearing him apart all consumed his nerves. Chi You gritted his teeth and blood began to seep from his pores.

In the blink of an eye, the young master of the Chi family was a bloodied man covered in mud.

I don’t know how long it took before such extreme pain slowly calmed down. Chi You’s hands trembled and he was already lying on the ground. Blood smeared his eyes, the pain had passed, but the after-effects seemed to linger, even to the point of moving up a little all over his body, and there was skin-peeling pain everywhere.

Even the air that entered his lungs seemed to contain needles, and Chi You looked straight through the blood and saw Chi Tian, fainting in fear, but suddenly burst out laughing madly.

A shadow came over him and covered half of his body.

Chi You stopped laughing and looked up with difficulty to see the uniformed Young master.

The uniformed Young master, who had been quietly watching the drama as if he were a bystander, approached Chi You. The Young Master looked down at Chi You from under his cap, his gaze like he was looking at some filthy worm. There was no one else in the courtyard, not even the uniformed Young master’s lieutenant.

Chi You’s fingers twitch wearily.

The uniformed Young master suddenly lifted his foot and stepped on Chi You’s chest.

Cursed and badly wounded, Chi You was a wreck, a three-year-old child with a knife who could have managed to take his life. He spat out a mouthful of blood and stared coldly at the uniformed Young master.

The upper half of Young Master’s face is hidden by the shadow of his military cap, but his eerie, green eyes are conspicuous, the eyes of a ghost, not a human.

Chi You suddenly felt a little weird.

Their faces are not identical, but Chi You sees in the uniformed Young master a familiarity that he hates.

Like looking in a mirror, but it doesn’t look like you’re looking in a mirror.

The uniformed Young master straightened the white gloves on his hands, he was neatly dressed and spoke carelessly, towering over Chi You who had fallen to the mud and dust on the floor like an ever powerful upper class man, “You’re a mess.”

“The Chi family Young master?” A bit of scorn played at the corners of his lips.

Chi You stared at him with a deadly, deadly stare.

The uniformed Young master lit a cigarette, and between the smoke, the handsome officer’s face had ghostly faces floating over it.

Ghost lines crawled between the knots of his throat.

Chi You’s pupils tighten.

The uniformed Young master tossed the remaining half of his cigarette at Chi You, he looked at Chi You for a long time and coldly curled his lips, “You’re a stain I don’t want to admit.”

This statement completely confirmed Chi You’s suspicions, and Chi You calmed down instead, looking at the uniformed Young master with the same disgust, coughing up two drops of blood and sneering, “And I definitely don’t want to be an evil spirit like you, controlled by a ghost tattoo after all? Disgusting.”
