“Father...” Unable to bear it, Qi Mingyue let out a moan and grabbed his hair, not sure if he wanted to push him away or bring him closer.
He was lying on top of a thin quilt and his clothes were intact, but the inside of his hem revealed a pair of white and slender legs that were spread apart at a seductive angle with Qi Xutian leaning over slightly, his movements were graceful as if tasting some kind of delicacy, whilst he kissed and sucked below.
With a helpless gasp which dissolved into a moan, Qi Mingyue only felt that the pleasure under his body wildly surged like a tidal wave, causing his body that was still of a young and immature youth, to tremble uncontrollably.
In this life, he hadn’t been treated like this. No matter how intimately he was teased usually, Father always made him vent by stroking him a little; because of this reason, he often complained that this ignorant body of his was too immature and couldn’t bear even a little teasing. But at this moment, Father was stimulating him so much, how could he stand it? It did not take long before he couldn’t hold on anymore. His turned-on body was particularly sensitive and even the silk quilt rubbing against his legs made him unable to bear it.
“Father...” He groaned and Qi Xutian knowingly sped up the movement of his mouth, his fingers lowered and swept over the chrysanthemum behind him, pressed it gently and caressed the inside of his thighs. This extremely ambiguous action made Qi Mingyue feel a burst of uncontrollable pleasure, and his phallus that was in Father’s mouth grew increasingly hotter. With the actions of Father’s lips and tongue, he trembled and could no longer restrain himself from squirting out a hot and sticky liquid.
After the dizzying pleasure overwhelming his brain passed, he opened his eyes only to find Father Emperor a wicked expression, as if teasing him, looking very leisurely as he slowly swallowed the turbid white substance in his mouth. He even used his tongue to lightly lick away its traces from his lips and his expression looked satisfied as if he had tasted something delicious. His smug face was full of erotic ambiguity, which made Qi Mingyue's already flushed face further add a hint of crimson.
He quickly turned his face away, cleared his throat and with a husky voice tinted with lust, he spoke, “You still haven’t answered my question about who is spreading rumours about the alien star.”
“You’re really not focusing, why do you still remember this? Could it be that I haven’t satisfied you yet?” As his voice fell, his hand went to Qi Mingyue's lower body again.
He quickly held his hand to stop him, the amatory flush on Qi Mingyue's face hadn’t receded yet, but now, there was a bit of anger. He wet eyes were now directing a glare, “Father!”
Qi Xutian withdrew his hand with a smile and took out a silk handkerchief to clean the traces on his (QM) lower body, then adjusted his clothes before picking him up while answering faintly, “That person doesn’t know that MingEr killed An Ruolan, but took advantage of her death to intentionally make the theory about the alien star circulate again, intending to make you the real alien star.”
“What do you intend to do?” So eager to put him to death as well as using such an unwise method; upon hearing what Father said, Qi Mingyue already had some expectations about who was responsible for this.
“Just wait and see. I would never be lenient towards someone who is trying to trap you and put you in danger.” Qi Xutian hugged him tighter, his voice was soft, but his eyes were filled with an icy cold smile.
Since Father Emperor already had a plan, he didn’t intend to ask any more questions. Moreover, he was sure he would certainly know the truth by the time he returned to the palace. After the amorous affair, his body was very weak. He leaned into Qi Xutian's arms, then suddenly remembered that he was the only one who had vented his desires, but Father hadn’t. He couldn’t help feeling apologetic and wanted to say something but before he could, he was kissed by Qi Xutian on the lips.
“Don’t care about this. If you truly want to reciprocate my intentions, why not wait to for the Lianxin gu to be resolved and then let me taste your body...” His gradually lowering voice carried strong hints to let Qi Mingyue understand that the taste he was talking about was definitely not referring to what he did today. Another kiss landed on the side of his neck and Qi Xutian showed a devious and frivolous smile, “You agree?”
Qi Mingyue nodded. If the Lianxin gu got removed, there would be no need to worry about it.
Qi Xutian chuckled with satisfaction, as if he couldn't wait, and ordered the carriage to speed up and rush to Lofty Mountain that Jiang Yao mentioned.
The town where Lofty Mountain was located was situated to the south of YeYao City. It was a small town and wasn’t very eye-catching among all of Cang He’s territories, but due to its proximity to YeYao, it wasn't too far away from the Imperial City, so its geographical location was very advantageous. Thus, there was a lot of traffic from visitors and merchants also gathered here, which made it appear very lively and prosperous.
As soon as the carriage entered the town gate, it slowed down. At this time, night had fallen but the crowd on the street hadn’t diminished and it was still boisterous. Qi Xutian did not order to find a place to stay, he intended to head directly to Lofty Mountain so that this matter could be resolved as soon as possible, MingEr would also be safer.
Qi Mingyue naturally agreed, so the two carriages on the road headed towards the direction where the Lofty Mountain was located in the depths.
As their carriage disappeared in the mist, the originally curious bystanders revealed looks of horror.
“Look! Someone went there again!”
“Hiss, they’re really bold ah. Those who went there haven’t come back yet and here came some more desperate ones that can’t wait for death.”
“Shh, softly... beware about the Demonic Immortal hearing you!” Someone cautiously gave a warning while looking around nervously.
The carriage that just drove by looked very luxurious. Could it be that another rich man who had nothing else to do came here in search of the immortal?
All the people who lived here knew that immortals were living on the mountain and those who went up the mountain to chop wood and hunt sometimes heard the sound of ethereal music. If anyone ever went there to seek the immortal, they would always get lost in the middle of the road, then return home disappointed and remained there, only to snap awake as if they had been dreaming previously, not knowing how they came back. As time went by, everyone got used to it and no longer tried to pry into the mystery, only outsiders who had heard the news would enthusiastically go to explore, but again, they never heard of anyone seeing the immortal.
But these past few days were very unusual, someone accidentally got lost and went up rashly, however, he actually reached the top of the mountain very smoothly. And when he came down, he didn’t say a word as if he had lost his soul, he neither ate nor drank and starved to death without saying a word.
Not only this one person, but even the animals grazing on the mountain became abnormal; they all ran down the mountain, some died instantly, and others wouldn’t stop shaking. Seeing this, who would still dare to go up the mountain again?
Only those who didn’t know the inside story took their attendants and went to find the immortal in high spirits, but the results were the same. They either went mad or died, or were neither mad nor dead, but like a soulless puppet.
The immortal was no longer the revered immortal of before but had become the Demonic Immortal in everyone's mouth. Rumour had it that whoever saw the Demonic Immortal would have their soul taken away and would die sooner or later.
It had just been a few days, but many people had already suffered. Today, some people went to the Lofty Mountain, then what was it if not a death sentence?
Everyone looked in that direction, shook their heads and sighed, it was a pity that no one had time to tell, it was just impossible to go there!
As the carriage gradually approached the Lofty Mountain, the mist became thicker and it became too unclear to recognize the direction. Finally, they had to stop slowly. Everyone got out of the carriage and stood still. The restless horses kept pacing on the ground and the sound of “de-de[1]” was very clear in the deathly silence.
[1] 得得 (dé dé); Probably meant to signify the sound of the horses’ hoofs.
Perceiving their anxiety, Qi Mingyue narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and looked up. Not far away, a section of the high mountain top was exposed shrouded by clouds and mist and carried a sense of mysteriousness and leisure.
It was just that it wasn’t known where the people who live on this mountain were at the moment, there were impelling sounds of zither in the air, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, however, just this slight transition from light to heavy made people fear for their lives.
Seeing him contemplating, Qi Xutian approached and embraced him, “MingEr must be tired, we’ve had a busy day. Why not rest today? We will go up the mountain tomorrow.”
Originally, Father wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible, why did he suddenly change his mind? “Father, what do you know?”
Qi Xutian gently nodded and told him the news that the Shadow Guard had just inquired about word-for-word, “I am worried that you are feeling unwell and would be unable to deal with the power of Tianyin.” Moreover, there was Lianxin gu in his body. If it got disturbed by the sound of the zither and attacked, he really didn’t know what would happen then.
The turmoil of the horses made Qi Mingyue understand that the sound of Tianyin covering the mountain could make animals that were below the mountain terrified, which showed its advantages and disadvantages. And now, after listening to Qi Xutian's words, he did not dare to underestimate that senior’s skill even more.
“But the more dangerous it is, the more likely it is that he will be able to help me remove the Lianxin gu. Yao has already told me in detail about what to do. I understand and I would not put myself in danger, Father doesn’t need to worry,” He smiled lightly at Qi Xutian and his expression was calm. He seemed to have already made up his mind to go up the mountain straightway.
Qi Xutian knew he couldn’t be stopped, and he also believed in his ability, so he didn’t speak anymore. Although Hong Qi and Ying Ran on the side looked worried, they didn’t say anything. They believed that His Highness would be able to settle this matter safely.
It wasn’t known what method he used, but right then, just as he raised his sleeve, a giant black eagle swooped down from a high place. Its sharp little eyes swept around before landing on Qi Mingyue’s shoulders with a vigilant look.
“Little Black was tamed by this senior, so bringing it along might be of some use.” After explaining to everyone, Qi Mingyue rushed up the mountain.
The white figure weaving through the mountains flickered a few times and disappeared into the forest. Qi Xutian’s figure shifted and followed. Hong Qi and Ying Ran did not linger and hurried to catch up.
The journey was silent, and the night was getting darker. There was no sound of animals on the mountain, not even the chirping of birds or insects. Such a strange atmosphere made their hearts even heavier.
When they were halfway up the mountain, Qi Mingyue stopped in his tracks. Qi Xutian always followed closely beside him and now, saw him stop suddenly, so he furrowed his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, “MingEr, did you find something wrong?”
Qi Mingyue nodded, “It seems that only I can go up from here.” He noticed that there was a faint sound of Tianyin coming, but it was not audible to the ears. He had learned Tianyin and was very sensitive to something so familiar.
“I will go with you.” He wouldn’t feel comfortable letting MingEr go alone.
“Can Father Emperor resist the power of Tianyin?” Qi Mingyue thought of Jiang Yao and suddenly asked this question.
Qi Xutian chuckled, “I haven't tried it before, how would I know?” The art of influencing people with the sound of music was not something he looked down upon, rather, he just believed in himself more.
“If you are influenced by the sound of this music, you will face everything from the past that you don't want to face, or you may forget everything, you might not even remember me. Such a risky thing, will Father still insist on going with me?”
“I don’t care about what happened in the past. As for MingEr, I will not forget no matter what.” While looking at Qi Mingyue, Qi Xutian's expression was calm, but the implication of his words was extraordinarily firm.
Knowing that he could not be persuaded, Qi Mingyue could only sigh. He also believed that a man like Father with such a temperament would not allow himself to be defeated by the music of the zither.
The two were about to continue up the mountain when they suddenly heard a strange sound nearby.
A dark shadow flickered for a split second, then flashed past, and when he reappeared, there was already an extra person under his hold.
Indus’ Notes: The title of this chapter is 凌山 (Líng Shan), in which 山 (Shan) means mountain. I couldn’t find the exact meaning of 凌 in this context but after a bit of exploration, the only translation for 凌山 that I could come up with was Icy Mountain or Lofty Mountain.
This chapter took a long time. Phew.
