I'm a thousand years older than you

Wen Zihe nodded, feeling in his heart that Duan Yuming gave people a different feeling now, gradually showing the appearance of a "demon king". Thinking that his change was due to Duan Yanlin's death, Wen Zihe didn't know how to comfort him. After a moment of silence, he only said softly: "My condolences."

"Well, I know." Duan Yuming looked at the wine glass in his hand, "But why didn't you tell me... what father did before?"

Wen Zihe's eyelids twitched. Since he would ask such a question, he must have learned something about the past years. Who told him?How much did he... know the truth?

"I'm not trying to trick you, Zihe." Duan Yuming looked at him, "I know everything. Just please forgive me as a son, I don't want to repeat what my father has done."

Wen Zihe was silent for a moment: "I won't tell you... because I don't think it's necessary."

After Duan Yuming heard the expected answer, he just pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.He didn't really want to ask any answer. Why Wen Zihe didn't want to tell him? For you, so what I'm going to say next, you can take it as... Atonement."

"After seeing Zhiguangyan in the Yuehua formation that day, I went to investigate the death of Huofengzu, and I think you also know that Huofengzu didn't die in the crusade of darkness, or that , its power hasn’t died yet, it has stayed and hidden in an inconspicuous little animal through a certain method.”

When he said this, both of them looked down at Doduo squatting by the table.After a few days, Duoduo has grown up a lot, and it looks like some kind of rare bird, if you say it is a miniature version of a phoenix... it barely looks like it.

"This is because its demonic power has not fully recovered." Duan Yuming looked down at Dodo, and explained, "Now that the Moonlight Formation has been destroyed, the essence of the Moonlight will flow to Lingge Mountain again. I want to bring it to Lingge Mountain. Go to Geshan, with its growth rate, supplemented by the essence of Yuehua, its demon power will be restored to its peak in less than half a year, and by then, its spiritual wisdom should also be restored."

Sensing that what he said next would be related to himself, Wen Zihe curled his fingers, then let go, and asked softly, "And then?"

"Then I also discovered a very interesting thing. The radiant flame of Huofengzu has two attributes of ice and fire at the same time, which is a very incredible thing in itself." Duan Yuming said, "What's even more incredible is that, This kind of power in it is actually obtained through fusion. Ancestor Huofeng was born with a yin and a yang in his body, but... the one that survives in the end will always be the one that masters yang."

"You mean..." Wen Zihe pondered for a while, "Can Huofengzu control the fusion?"

"That's right." Duan Yuming nodded, "So instead of finding ways to delay the fusion process until the end of Mr. Lu's lifespan, it's better to follow the fusion...and let him live in the world as a half-demon from now on. As long as he is mentally If Shang wins over Ying Hui, then even if the fusion is finally completed, he will only gain an extra amount of demonic power."

"You...how much did you drink?" Lu Yebai heard a noise outside the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he caught the person who staggered into the room, and instantly smelled the faint scent of wine on the other person's body, and judged Said, "I didn't drink much, how did I get so drunk?"

"He... is shallow." Wen Zihe pointed at himself and said vaguely.

Lu Yebai helped him in helplessly: "You drink less, so drink less."

Wen Zihe nodded obediently: "Okay, you have a small amount, and I will watch you drink less in the future."

You can't reason with drunks, Lu Yebai understood now, helped him onto the bed, carefully took off his coat and shoes, before Lu Yebai went to get a set of robes, Wen Zihe had already arrived Behind him, put his head on the side of his neck: "what are you doing?"

Lu Yebai gently rubbed his head, feeling that Wen Zihe, who was drunk, was less serious and more childish than before. He was so cute: "Go to the backyard and give you a bath."

Wen Zihe looked at him directly: "One, together?"

Lu Yebai: "..."

This is simply a kind of naked/naked/naked seduction... So Wen Zihe likes this kind of tone in his bones?

Lu Yebai licked the corners of his lips, feeling that he might not be able to sleep again tonight.But soon, the facts gave him a loud slap in the face, and the charming fantasies that filled his mind were blown away.

He helped Wen Zihe stumble into the hot spring pool in the backyard. He just tested the water temperature with his hands first, and when he turned around to call Wen Zihe over, Wen Zihe didn't do it. He just sat on the side with a reddish face, as if A little drowsy.

No matter how softly he coaxed him, that man was determined not to take off his clothes and go into the water, his level of cheating was no less than that of their dog.

"No bath." Wen Zihe sat on the ground and shook his head.

Lu Yebai said softly: "Just now you said you want to take a bath together, why did you refuse?"

"Afraid of water." Wen Zihe looked serious.

Lu Yebai couldn't help laughing, rubbed his head with a smile: "When did I start to be afraid of water, why didn't I know?"

"Just...just now." Wen Zihe thought for a while.

Lu Yebai made a gesture to walk towards the pool, and asked, "What if I'm in the water?"

Wen Zihe was taken aback, and tilted his head to look at him, as if he didn't understand what he said, Lu Yebai patiently repeated each word: "I said, if I'm in the water, do you want to come down?"

"What are you doing... in the water?" Wen Zihe asked.

Lu Yebai replied, "Jump down to play."

"You can swim." Wen Zihe narrowed his eyes as if thinking of something, "I'll watch from the side."

It seems that even if he is drunk, he still remembers some things, Lu Yebai said nonsense: "I can't swim, if you don't come down, I might drown."

After hearing this sentence, Wen Zihe's expression darkened: "Really?"

Lu Yebai nodded, and Wen Zihe grabbed him, seemingly with great determination, and said, "Then I'll drink up all the rivers, lakes and seas."

As if afraid that he would not believe it, Wen Zihe added vaguely: "I can."

Lu Yebai laughed out loud: "Well... I know you are huge. How about going to take a bath now?"

Wen Zihe shook his head: "I'm afraid of water."

Lu Yebai: "..."

After going around and around, he still went back to the original topic. It seems that he has absolutely no chance of winning a verbal fight with a drunk.As the night gradually darkened, Lu Yebai helped the man up from the ground, coaxing and deceiving him to the side of the pool.Unexpectedly, as soon as he saw a puddle of clear water in the pool, Wen Zihe refused again.During the struggle, more than half of his clothes were soaked by water, and because he sat on the ground just now, they were covered with dust.

At this point, even if they can't take a bath together, they still have to scrub the person a little before they can go to bed. Having made up his mind, Lu Yebai was ruthless, and no matter how the other party struggled, he still dragged the person over. He took off his clothes twice, and carried him into the hot spring pool.

Soaked in the dense water vapor, Wen Zihe's eyes were slightly closed, his cheeks were flushed, Lu Yebai squatted aside and poked his cheek with his hand, and was immediately knocked down. Wen Zihe seemed a little dissatisfied, and said softly: " do not move."

His skin, which had been soaked in water, was fair and slightly red, looming in the dense water mist, Lu Yebai looked away, and said dryly: "Then take a good bath."

Wen Zihe waved to him: "Together."

Lu Yebai's throat tightened, and he wanted to close his eyes and cover his ears with his hands, but his hands didn't obey.The fingertips touched by Wen Zihe just now felt scorching hot, as if burned by fire.

He cleared his throat and confirmed, "Together?"

Wen Zihe didn't answer, probably because he was a little sleepy from the soak. After going through a lot of tossing just now, Lu Yebai's body was also covered with sweat. After taking a deep breath, he took off his clothes lightly and went into the water, in order to prevent himself from getting too excited. Overwhelmed, he sat on the opposite side of the Wenzi River—this was the furthest distance from the Wenzi River in the pool.

But soon he found that this is really not a wise choice.Sitting here made it easier for his eyes to drift to the opposite side. Even though there was a dense fog in front of him, he could not see clearly, but the haze added an extra touch of interest.

His throat rolled, and then he moved towards the Wenzi River. Amid the sound of rushing water, his heart beat faster and faster.As soon as he got closer to that person, he saw that the person also opened his eyes. Lu Yebai felt guilty and subconsciously stepped back, but because he didn't stand firmly, he fell backward into the pool, splashing countless water splashes.

"Cough cough." When he was pulled out of the water, he coughed a few times, and then he saw the man frown slightly and asked, "Why are you so careless?"

"You...are you sober?" Lu Yebai glanced at Wen Zihe, unable to tell what he felt in his heart, as if... a little disappointed.The speed of the alcohol fading is too fast, right?

"I drank a little wine." Wen Zihe pulled him up, only to realize that the two of them were /not/in the pool at the moment. Although he couldn't remember how they got into the water, he was embarrassed to ask. , just like Lu Yebai, the whole person shrank under the water, only showing one head, pretending to be calm, "but not drunk."

Lu Yebai thought back on Wen Zihe's behavior just now, and regretted that he didn't record it, so he could only ask: "What happened to you, who did you drink with and came back at night?"

After talking about the business, Duan Yuming and Wen Zihe had a tacit understanding not to mention their past grievances, and only drank a glass of wine.When old friends meet again, they can get rid of their "grudges" with a drink, and drinking a glass of wine means that the previous things are also written off.It's just that Wen Zihe didn't expect his drinking capacity to be so low, after drinking a glass of wine, he unexpectedly woke up only now.

"Drink with Duan Yuming. He said he was sorry for you, and hoped to come to the door to make amends in the future." Wen Zihe moved to the pool, took a towel to soak in water, covered his forehead, and exhaled, "However, you don't accept it." His apology, I think, is okay."

During the few days they spent together, they had already sorted out what happened to each other. Lu Yebai knew what Duan Yuming had done, and said softly, "That's nothing."

If you want to apologize for what happened 21 years ago, then it's completely out of Duan Yuming's turn. If you want to get the monster power out of him, Lu Yebai also understands that even if Duan Yuming doesn't take action, he will get the monster power sooner or later Onset, but a little earlier.Most importantly, Duan Yuming never thought of hurting Wen Zihe from the beginning to the end.

Wen Zihe raised his hand to brush away the wet hair on his forehead, and said, "There is one more thing."

"What?" Lu Yebai sat down beside him.

"1000 years ago, the Huofengzu who sealed Yinghui into the silver coffin is still alive. It possesses an extremely powerful power, and it was also the one that blocked the attack of the moon formation for us that day." Wen Zihe withdrew his hand, " In half a year...the Fire Phoenix Ancestor will wake up, at that time, are you willing to...abandon your human identity and become a monster?"

Lu Yebai was taken aback for a moment, then he held his hand as if he couldn't believe it: "You mean..."

"However, being a monster is not that simple... You will take great risks in the process of becoming a monster. Even after becoming a monster, there are many practical factors to consider." Wen Zihe curled his fingers, "For example, your aging speed in the future It will be slower than ordinary people, and it will be difficult for your parents to explain... If you want to continue living in human society, it may not be easy."

Lu Yebai smiled: "You have already thought so much? It seems that they are all disadvantages. Do you hope that I will not agree?"

Wen Zihe glanced at him, it was the opposite.When he first learned from Duan Yuming that there was another way, he was actually very happy. After all, if it works, the two of them can really stay together for a lifetime.

However, even though the relationship between the two is like this now, he is not sure that Lu Yebai will agree.After all, becoming a demon requires a certain risk, and judging from the current situation, there is no need to take such a risk—Ying Hui's consciousness has been sealed, and the next step is to suppress the demon power on Lu Yebai with golden needles, Supplemented with Zhi Guangyan, it can guarantee his safety in this life.

"I hope you will think about it carefully." Wen Zihe thought for a while, then said softly.

"Actually, a long time ago, I thought about such a question. Is there such a thing as reincarnation in the world? If not, I can only get along with you for a few short decades. Isn't it too bad?" Lu Ye Bai seemed to be preparing a long speech, and turned his head to look at him, "If there is, in case I become a cat or a dog in the next life, are you willing to stay with me for the rest of your life?"

As soon as Wen Zihe opened his mouth, Lu Yebai didn't wait for him to answer, and said to himself: "You may say yes, but I don't. I want this of yours more than the 'second half of my life' that has nothing to do with it." A lifetime, all of it. What do you think?"

His tone was a little cautious, as if he was afraid of Wen Zihe's objection, and his eyes fixed on Wen Zihe again, with a sense of determination - if Wen Zihe made a negative statement, he would quickly block it back.

Wen Zihe pursed his lips, feeling amused, thinking, what position do I have against it?

Maybe it's because of watching that person grow up. In the past, he occasionally had a paternalistic desire to take care of Lu Yebai. He didn't want that person to take a little risk, and wished to cover the hazy sky for him with one hand—no matter what Do it or not.But now it's different, he will have a little bit of selfishness.

Seeing that he was silent, Lu Yebai leaned a little closer to him, put his hand on the back of his neck, let him lean into his arms, and whispered in his ear: "Do you want me to betray my appearance so that you can Let me take a risk? Or do you suddenly regret it and refuse to give me your life?"

"The more you say it, the more outrageous it is." Wen Zihe laughed, "Why would I not want to?"

After hearing this answer, Lu Yebai sighed instead, and Wen Zihe cast a questioning look, Lu Yebai said: "Monsters have a long lifespan, you have to do well and I can't even fool around in front of you every day." Get ready for boredom."

He seemed to be seeking a stable answer over and over again, but the words "I will not abandon you", even if repeated too much, were useless.Wen Zihe decided not to answer anymore, anyway, he would definitely not ask again after 1000 years, so he reached out and stroked his hair: "If you have time to think so much, why don't you go and get the robe, I'm about to fall asleep after soaking it. "

Lu Yebai nodded, but stopped at the moment when he was about to get up, Wen Zihe was puzzled, and suddenly thought that the robe was hanging by the side of the hot spring, and he had to stand up and walk out to get it, the two of them soaked in the water and The fog is rising, and it has not yet reached the point of "meeting with sincerity", but if you stand up...

This kid Lu Yebai usually looks very thick-skinned when he teases people, but he also feels shy because of such things.

"I'm dizzy, why don't you go get it?" Lu Ye tilted his head back, closed his eyes slightly, and his eyes were blurred, as if he couldn't even move.

"Who said you were going to betray your looks just now?" Wen Zihe didn't move, "Now I'm giving you a chance, take it well."

"I sell my looks, and I have to be bought by someone." Lu Yebai opened his eyes, "But I sell in bundles, people and hearts, from inside to outside, inseparable."

"I'll buy it." Wen Zihe said with a smile.

"Then collect the deposit first." Lu Yebai who was "dizzy" sat up all of a sudden, and burned a kiss on his lips with lightning speed. Wen Zihe didn't expect that there were such businessmen in the world. , Immediately stunned, and Lu Yebai took the opportunity to jump ashore, quickly wrapped the robe around his body, picked up another one, stood far away, and shook the robe in his hand with a smirk: "……Now it is your turn."

Wen Zihe: "..."

Is it too late to return it now?
