“Master, don’t be angry. The Young Master just couldn’t accept your feelings for a moment, but he will understand your intentions as time goes by… Master, let Ajou handle your wound.” Gu Bai cautiously approached Qin Shitian, whose eyes were bloodshot and face covered with bloodthirst, and asked.
Although the man was strong, the dagger that Mo Haige used to injure him was extraordinary. If the wound was not treated promptly, Qin Shitian would be seriously injured due to excessive blood loss.
However, Qin Shitian stood still and did not move. He looked at Gu Bai coldly, and the bloodshot eyes faded away, replaced by a cold icy gaze.
“They all ran away, but you came up. Aren’t you afraid that this Lord will kill you?”
“Ajou’s life belongs to the Sect Leader…” Gu Bai still wore a loyal expression on his face, but deep down he was lamenting. He also wanted to leave, but if he left without completing the mission, he would still die.
Qin Shitian stared sharply at him for a while. Seeing that he remained calm and unafraid, with pure and anxious concern in his eyes, genuinely caring without a hint of deception, the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
He continued to sit coldly on the nearby stool, took out a bottle of medicine from the spatial ring, and placed it on the table, his expression gloomy. “Apply the medicine to this Lord!”
“Yes, Master.” Gu Bai responded and hurried over.
He unbuttoned Qin Shitian’s clothes, revealing the fierce wound on his solid chest that kept bleeding. He first wiped off the blood stains around the wound with water from the table, then carefully poured the medicine powder onto the wound.
Because he was so close, his breath sprayed onto Qin Shitian’s chest. The warm sensation made Qin Shitian instinctively hold his breath. Watching his careful and worried actions, a warm feeling surged through his body.
Suddenly, Qin Shitian pinched his chin, forcing him to look up and meet his gaze.
“They all fear this Lord, view this Lord as a ferocious beast. Why are you not afraid of this Lord? When this Lord is in a bad mood, anyone could be killed. Don’t you think this Lord is a demon? Aren’t you afraid of death?” There was no emotion in his eyes, only a terrifying bloodthirsty gleam. If an ordinary person had stared at him like this, they would have been too scared to even speak.
Gu Bai naturally felt fear in his heart, but his emotions were always under control at all times, so Qin Shitian only saw clarity and earnestness in his eyes.
“Master, Ajou said that Ajou’s life was saved by you. Ajou only pledges loyalty to Master alone in this lifetime. Whatever Master wants Ajou to do, Ajou will do. Even if Master wants Ajou’s life…”
How does it feel to have someone look at you that way with eyes full of only themselves? Qin Shitian had never known before, but now, looking at Gu Bai’s eyes filled only with himself, he felt a swelling sensation in his heart.
“Haige’s life was saved by this Lord. This Lord brought him back from the dead pile, yet he treats this Lord so coldly…” He muttered gloomily, while somewhat reluctantly retracting his hand holding Gu Bai’s chin. The warmth and smoothness of the young boy’s skin felt pleasant to touch.
Gu Bai didn’t know how to comfort him. Seeing his gloomy expression, Gu Bai dared not speak. What if he said the wrong thing and angered the man? So he just kept his mouth shut, trying to use more sincere and loyal eyes to look at Qin Shitian, secretly wondering why these infatuated men were so clueless…
To prevent Qin Shitian from noticing any emotions that might give himself away, he kept chanting in his mind: I am Ajou, I am very loyal! I am Ajou, I am very loyal! If I am not loyal, the great demon will crush me into pieces! If I lose the trust of the great demon, I will fail the mission and die!
After repeating this several times, his gaze towards Qin Shitian became even more loyal and clear…
Qin Shitian’s heart suddenly beat faster as he was stared at with such eyes, gazing at Gu Bai’s delicate face intently.
Although the young man was not as stunning and extraordinary as his disciple, he exuded a comforting feeling that made people feel at ease, especially his eyes, when focused on someone, seemed to possess a certain kind of charm that irresistibly drew people in, making them feel a desire to get closer.
He gently reached up and caressed Gu Bai’s eyes with a light touch before his gaze fell on the slightly parted lips, shimmering with a moist gloss that was extremely enticing.
With just one look, he couldn’t look away, feeling his mouth dry and throat tight, longing for a kiss…
In fact, he did it. Gu Bai’s eyes widened in shock, then he pushed Qin Shitian away abruptly, “Master!”
At the moment of being pushed away, Qin Shitian’s eyes turned red again, and with a stern face, he pulled Gu Bai back towards him.
“If you said that you are willing to do anything for this Lord, why are you pushing this Lord away? This Lord wants you now!”
After saying that, he forcefully kissed Gu Bai’s lips.
The soft and smooth touch was even better than he had imagined, giving him a surge of excitement that left him infatuated.
Qin Shitian narrowed his eyes and aggressively pried open Gu Bai’s lips to explore inside, to taste the flavor of the young man.
Gu Bai struggled to push and pat Qin Shitian’s solid chest with both hands, trying to free himself, feeling frustrated. He was only here to complete a mission, why did he always end up being pushed around by people?
Although his body was not his own originally, now that he controlled it, did he have to be pressed by a man every time he completed a mission? Wasn’t that too miserable to live like a flower?
Vaguely, Gu Bai did not want to admit that at the moment when Qin Shitian kissed him, he resisted because the face of Nie Qingcang flashed through his mind…
“Mmm…” Qin Shitian, as the Master of the Demon Sect, a top-level expert of the time, and Gu Bai’s cultivation and strength were not enough to resist, could not open his mouth, and the emotions left by the original owner of the body made him unable to reject the closeness of a man.
Gradually, under the caressing and grinding of Qin Shitian, Gu Bai felt a trembling in his soul, as if some kind of energy was pouring into his soul.
He suddenly stopped struggling, opened his eyes with disbelief, the familiar feeling, that familiar feeling was…
His sudden stop made Qin Shitian sober up a bit. He had never approached another young man liked this, especially one he was tempted by. This made him feel a little dazed and annoyed.
Although he was bloodthirsty and ruthless, radical and vicious, he was also a dedicated and extremely faithful person.
Otherwise, as the Master of the Demon Sect, he would not have no even a single mistress in the rear courtyard. He had liked Mo Haige for so long, he would definitely not shift affections because of a nice kiss.
The anger subsided, his mind cleared, and looking at Gu Bai panting with flushed cheeks, he suddenly felt a tightening in his heart. He wanted to step forward to help him, but forced himself to hold back. He felt confused.
His gaze fell on the jade pendant that fell out of Gu Bai’s arms earlier – the gift he intended to give to Mo Haige. His body stiffened, and he clenched his mouth.
“Why did you pick up the broken jade pendant?”
Gu Bai had already come to his senses at this point, looking at him with a dark expression. He couldn’t figure out what mood the man was in now. He lowered his head and said softly.
“This was personally carved by Master, it’s the most precious thing in the world. I want to stick it back together… The Young Master will understand the Master’s heart one day!”
In the end, he added a sentence. Qin Shitian’s moods were unpredictable, but mentioning Mo Haige was his weakness, so bringing up Mo Haige’s name would be a safe bet.
Who knew that the man was in a really bad mood today. The mention of Mo Haige triggered the anger that had just been stirred up by Mo Haige, and Qin Shitian immediately crushed the broken pieces on the ground into powder, angrily saying.
“Useless things, get rid of them!”
Gu Bai remained silent. Qin Shitian’s emotions were unstable at the moment, even mentioning Mo Haige, his weak spot, didn’t work. He couldn’t afford to say anything wrong that might provoke him into killing him.
Seeing the expression on his face seemed to be lamenting the broken jade pendant, Qin Shitian felt inexplicably moved. Thinking of Gu Bai’s words just now – ‘This was personally carved by Master, it is the most precious thing in the world’, his heart stirred again.
“Go down, starting tomorrow, go work at the weapons hall. Don’t come to this Lord anymore!”
He clenched his fist to suppress the strange feeling in his heart. Making this decision, he never thought he would regret it so much later on. He pushed away the fat that was right in front of him, so he would regret it countless times every day.
Seeing his dark complexion and fiery temper, Gu Bai naturally didn’t dare to touch his sore spot again. He just said, “Yes, Master,” and quickly left.

Coming out of Qin Shitian’s palace, Gu Bai returned to the place where the demon guards lived. The conditions here were much better than when he was a new disciple, as he now had his own room.
After locking the door, he sat at the table and poured a glass of water, immediately gulping it down to calm his emotions. Although he appeared calm just now, he was actually terrified. If Qin Shitian had actually attacked him, he would have been defenseless, unable to escape, and could only stand there and wait for death. Fortunately, he narrowly escaped a disaster.
Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Gu Bai couldn’t help but feel annoyed at Mo Haige in his heart.
What a troublemaker. Regardless of how cold and icy his personality was, he should at least have some awareness. He provoked the great demon and ran away, leaving the rest of them to suffer!
After the annoyance passed, Gu Bai couldn’t help but think back to the feeling when he was kissed by Qin Shitian.
It was a terrifying feeling of dominance, as if he wanted to devour his soul, but also a nourishing feeling that enriched his soul, just like with Nie Qingcang in the previous world.
He didn’t know what that feeling was all about, but he instinctively felt that it was extraordinary. At least, that energy could make his soul stronger.
Currently, it seemed advantageous to him, as the mysterious voice had mentioned that the stronger his soul, the longer he would live without dissipating.
But why would Qin Shitian also give him that same feeling as Nie Qingcang? Was there a connection between them? Or was it just his imagination…
Touching his lips, Gu Bai furrowed his brows in thought.
After a while, he stood up and addressed the empty space around him.
“Master, I need your help.”
Having said that, he stood silently in place, waiting for answers to the questions that puzzled him.
A few minutes later, Gu Bai felt the space around him distort, forming a small independent space, accompanied by a wave of pressure. He saw a man’s phantom appear in the air.
The man floated in mid-air, with a perfect strong and tall physique, clad in black armor adorned with mysterious runes, a pointed helmet on his head, and cloud-soaring boots on his feet.
He wore a face mask matching his armor, obscuring his features, revealing only a thin, cold mouth and a pair of icy, cold eyes, exuding a sense of world domination.
Gu Bai felt a sense of submission, instinctively kneeling on one knee, respectfully addressing, “Master…”
“What do you need from me?” came the familiar mysterious voice.
“I remember you said last time that you could help me once in future missions. I would like to request your help now…”
“Are you sure you want to use it now?”
“Yes, Master, I want this body to become stronger immediately!”
Gu Bai nodded. His current body was too weak, and many things were impossible to accomplish. In this world, powerful martial strength was essential, and becoming stronger would make many things easier for him.
Instead of immediately agreeing, the phantom stared at him for a while before nodding.
“Since that’s the case, I will grant your request. Remember, this will only make your body stronger in this world. Once you leave, everything will return to normal.”
With that, a black light entered Gu Bai’s body, and then the phantom disappeared.
After the surrounding space returned to normal, Gu Bai looked up.
