Chapter 158
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Happy time flies quickly. After finishing the barbecue and wandering around, everyone was too tired and returned to the hotel to sleep.
Lou Yan took a shower, changed into comfortable clothes, and took advantage of the night to leave the hotel through the window, leaping onto the roof.
Under the night sky, a bright moon hung high, half obscured by heavy clouds.
Lou Yan looked down at the entire Rongcheng, the night sea breeze messing up his clothes, his hair fluttering.
The lights of Rongcheng at night were more numerous than those of Chengjiang City, but still, one-third of the city remained in darkness.
Lou Yan’s eyes instantly turned red. With “True Sight,” the true appearance of the entire city appeared in Lou Yan’s eyes.
There was an anomaly five hundred meters to the southeast, an anomaly in the far north, and an anomaly underwater.
The hotel’s floor was not high enough to obstruct the view. Currently, only these three anomalies could be seen.
Lou Yan first looked towards the sea. With the power of the “Water Ghost” in his possession, dealing with things in the water was as easy as crushing ants. With a thought, the water beneath the sea began to churn, enveloping the anomaly hidden within, tearing it apart in an instant.
The sea gradually turned red with the blood and flesh of the anomaly, but in the dead of night, no one saw this scene. The next moment, the waves came, and the blood blended into the sea and disappeared.
After dealing with one anomaly, Lou Yan immediately approached the second anomaly to the southeast.
He leaped quickly on the high buildings, but soon, Lou Yan stopped in his tracks, looking at the familiar figure blocking his path not far ahead.
In the darkness, that figure seemed even more profound than the night itself. Standing quietly on the high building, the long hair fluttering in the wind, holding a long Tang blade in his hand, with a tall and slender figure.
At first glance, Lou Yan recognized that this shadow was Fu Xuezhou.
A flash of light passed through Lou Yan’s eyes, and decisively turned around and left, taking another route towards the anomaly to the far north.
However, not long after, he saw the familiar figure of Fu Xuezhou again in front of him on this road.
Fu Xuezhou did indeed come to intercept him…
Lou Yan narrowed his eyes.
This time, he didn’t choose to avoid Fu Xuezhou, but instead leaped directly onto the high building where Fu Xuezhou was, ignoring Fu Xuezhou and continuing forward.
As he brushed past Fu Xuezhou, Fu Xuezhou picked up the Tang blade and blocked Lou Yan’s path.
Lou Yan turned his head expressionlessly to look at Fu Xuezhou. “Fu Xuezhou, what do you mean?”
Fu Xuezhou’s expression was overshadowed by shadows. “Why are you in Rongcheng?”
“What does it matter to you where I am?” Lou Yan said indifferently, his attitude unexpectedly cold to Fu Xuezhou.
The oppression in Fu Xuezhou’s heart deepened.
He turned to look at Lou Yan, the veins on the back of his hand holding the Tang blade bulging terrifyingly, his pitch-black eyes gradually scanning Lou Yan’s expression under the moonlight, the emotions in his words unpredictable, as if carried by the wind: “Lou Yan, your attitude towards me has become much colder. Don’t you want to see me here? Or did you do something behind my back that you don’t want me to know?”
This sounded like he was interrogating a suspect.
“I’m being cold?” Lou Yan repeated, somewhat sarcastically. “Fu Xuezhou, your attitude during our last phone call was cold and impatient. You hung up before I could finish speaking. What, is it only allowed for you to be cold to me, only allowed for you to want to distance yourself from me? Am I not allowed to be cold to you and distance myself from you?”
Fu Xuezhou: “…”
The silver-haired youth exuded an even more dangerous aura, but he didn’t know what to say.
After all, it was indeed Fu Xuezhou who chose to be indifferent to Lou Yan, who decided to distance himself from Lou Yan first. Fu Xuezhou had already prepared himself to gradually drift away from Lou Yan, but when Lou Yan treated him the same way, Fu Xuezhou couldn’t help but feel a surge of displeasure and hostility from the depths of his heart.
Seeing that Fu Xuezhou couldn’t come up with anything to say, Lou Yan sneered and pushed past the Tang blade to continue walking forward.
Fu Xuezhou grabbed his arm again, holding it tightly, “…Who is he?”
Lou Yan shook off his arm impatiently, not wanting to repeat himself, and said impatiently, “Who are you talking about?”
“The man you were flirting with, who is he?”
Thick clouds flew away from the moon, and the moonlight shone down, revealing Fu Xuezhou’s face, which was now cold and hostile.
Lou Yan sneered, “Why should I tell you?”
He slowly pried Fu Xuezhou’s hand off his body, his gaze growing colder, “Fu Xuezhou, since you’ve decided to distance yourself from me, then do it thoroughly. Don’t act like you’re someone special to me. We have no relationship, and I don’t have the hobby of being hot-faced and sticking to cold buttocks. In the future, you walk your sunny road, and I’ll cross my single-plank bridge. There’s no need for further interaction—this is the result you want, isn’t it?”
Fu Xuezhou’s thin lips straightened, and he suddenly pulled Lou Yan in front of him, gripping Lou Yan’s neck tightly and forcefully lifting Lou Yan’s head. Lou Yan, caught off guard, met his eyes, which were now dimly glowing red like a monster choosing its prey, and Fu Xuezhou’s voice was cold enough to freeze: “Say that again?”
Lou Yan pursed his lips and didn’t want to say it again, staring at Fu Xuezhou with an unyielding gaze, seeming to smile but not.
Fu Xuezhou’s icy hand slipped under Lou Yan’s clothes and touched the ghost marriage contract tattoo on Lou Yan’s back, muttering to himself, “The ghost marriage contract is still there, so how can there be no relationship between us?”
The hot and cold breath between his breath spread over Lou Yan’s skin, and Lou Yan could feel Fu Xuezhou’s hand moving on his smooth back like a snake. Fu Xuezhou pressed Lou Yan closer to him and whispered in Lou Yan’s ear with a faintly threatening tone, “Don’t anger me, Lou Yan. You know what the consequences will be if I get angry.”
The consequence of destroying the whole world with fire?
Lou Yan wanted to laugh, but he couldn’t. He looked at Fu Xuezhou coldly as Fu Xuezhou held him in his arms, without struggling. Fu Xuezhou thought he had surrendered, his gaze softened slightly, but then he heard Lou Yan suddenly say.
“Fu Xuezhou, did you come to Rongcheng just to avoid me?”
“Didn’t you want to have no relationship with me? So why are you getting angry about my intimacy with others, and why did you specially come to find me in the middle of the night?”
He laughed inexplicably, with a hint of mockery, “The things I said, aren’t they the result you wanted?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind blew on the rooftop. An extremely dangerous aura emanated from Fu Xuezhou’s body, and Lou Yan’s Crisis Perception went crazy, warning Lou Yan of the extremely terrifying danger.
Lou Yan’s hair was blown into his eyes by the wind, and he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he was surprised to find that Fu Xuezhou’s body was oozing mucus!
The mucus touched Lou Yan’s body, and this mucus was like the color of blood that had turned black after sedimentation, emitting a terrifying, intensely foul odor!
Lou Yan’s heart suddenly jumped, and he looked up, only to meet Fu Xuezhou’s face, which had already become half-transformed into something anomaly.
Fu Xuezhou’s eyes turned crimson, his left side still pale and perfect, but his right half was covered in black-red mucus, with three pupils overlapping in his crimson eyes, and his mouth half normal, half filled with sharp protruding fangs.
Lou Yan’s scalp tingled, and he quickly looked at Fu Xuezhou’s body.
Fu Xuezhou’s body also began to transform, wrapped in mucus, his legs turned into black monster claws like two wolf feet, with sharp nails long and curved. Two slits opened on his back, with flesh and bones intertwining and protruding like dry wood, forming irregularly shaped wings that dripped blood like a tree.
Fu Xuezhou’s silver hair danced wildly, and three pairs of pale and anomaly arms
Fu Xuezhou’s silver hair danced wildly, and beneath the wings on both sides, three pairs of pale and eerie arms sprouted, with tentacles of various thicknesses constantly emerging from all over his body, making him look incredibly terrifying and horrifying in the night.
Fu Xuezhou had previously devoured countless bizarre creatures, and now, the countless anomalies he had swallowed were manifesting characteristics on his body one by one, making his transformation look distorted and fragmented.
This is a berserk state!
D*mn it!
Fu Xuezhou is berserk!
“F*ck!”
Lou Yan couldn’t help but curse. He couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked at the terrifyingly unfamiliar Fu Xuezhou. Chills ran down his spine, and he could hardly believe what he was seeing: Did he… make Fu Xuezhou go berserk?!
In his three lifetimes, Lou Yan had never seen this side of Fu Xuezhou’s transformation. But now, Lou Yan had only spoken a few words to him, and Fu Xuezhou had fallen into a berserk state?
Lou Yan couldn’t believe how bad*ss he was — he just wanted to provoke Fu Xuezhou to make him take his feelings seriously.
Lou Yan’s temples throbbed with fear and anxiety. A strong sense of crisis made him realize he had to act immediately.
Berserk state would make a person lose their reason, indiscriminately slaughtering everything like a true monster. If Fu Xuezhou lost his mind, with his powerful transformation, the entire Rongcheng would be at risk!
Although there was a high possibility that Fu Xuezhou could maintain his reason in berserk state, he had once said he had died 27 times in berserk state! Better safe than sorry. If Fu Xuezhou couldn’t maintain his reason this time, it would be disastrous.
Lou Yan made a quick decision and immediately spoke calmly, “Fu Xuezhou! Stay calm! How about this, we have a competition?!”
The tentacles waving on Fu Xuezhou’s body crawled onto Lou Yan’s body, pulling Lou Yan, who wanted to retreat, back into Fu Xuezhou’s arms. Fu Xuezhou lowered his head, his crimson eyes staring at Lou Yan, his handsome and terrifying face now filled with dreadful and brutal aura.
“A… competition?” he said.
Good, it seemed that Fu Xuezhou still had some sanity left!
Lou Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but the next moment he felt that he had relaxed too quickly. Because the huge wings behind Fu Xuezhou began to close, as if trying to envelop him. Lou Yan glanced sideways and saw clearly that crimson eyes opened on Fu Xuezhou’s wings, densely scattered and rolling around. And on each wing, a huge mouth opened.
Fu Xuezhou’s transformation was deepening!
Lou Yan gritted his teeth and sighed, “Fu Xuezhou, you really are…”
Because his refusal could cause him to fall into a berserk state, but he didn’t want to admit his thoughts to such an extent.
What are you thinking?
Lou Yan sighed again and lifted his foot, reaching out to pull Fu Xuezhou’s neck, and kissed Fu Xuezhou’s lips protruding outside his fangs.
Author’s note:
Lou: You idiot, repeat after me, stay calm, okay?
