Chapter 27: The Wise Jinshi x The Obsessed Emperor 06

The night was deep and still, a gentle breeze blowing.

Deep within the palace, the young man in white was biting the wrist of the man in front of him, preventing him from kissing him further.  His eyes were flushed with frustration.

Qin Jingchuan pinched Yun Huai’s chin, pulling his wrist out of the young man’s mouth and lifting Yun Huai’s clothes again, revealing his snow-white waist.

He touched the smooth, delicate skin, sighing contentedly.

“Ah Huai, now I’ve kissed you, hugged you, and touched you.  You can’t refuse me anymore.”

Yun Huai turned his head away, refusing to acknowledge him, but his sensitive waist was being touched more and more softly, until he could only snuggle into Qin Jingchuan’s arms.

He pursed his lips, but he didn’t refuse further.

Qin Jingchuan nibbled at Yun Huai’s lips, kissing them until they were red and swollen.

Yun Huai met Qin Jingchuan’s dark, deep eyes, suddenly feeling a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen these black eyes somewhere before.

He frowned, thinking, his slightly parted lips were slowly pried open by Qin Jingchuan.

The moment their tongues touched, a familiar figure flashed through Yun Huai’s mind.

Shen Du!

Yun Huai looked at Qin Jingchuan’s face.  He saw an uncanny resemblance to Shen Du, even though their faces were completely different.

Qin Jingchuan, Shen Du… Could there be some mysterious connection between them?

But Shen Du was just an ordinary person.  He had no special abilities to escape his original world, and he couldn’t possibly have followed him here.

Confused, Yun Huai was lost in thought, causing Qin Jingchuan to frown.

“Ah Huai, what are you thinking about?”

Yun Huai blinked.  “Nothing.  I just feel like I know you.”

Qin Jingchuan stroked Yun Huai’s full, crimson lips, like a tiger retracting its claws.

“Maybe we were lovers in a past life, so Ah Huai remembers this life.”

“…” Yun Huai was slightly stunned.  He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Qin Jingchuan held Yun Huai’s waist with one hand, gazing at the young man who was as white and delicate as a cat.

“Ah Huai, don’t be afraid of me.”

“I admire you.  I have no other intentions.”

Yun Huai wasn’t afraid, but he closed his eyes to calm himself.

“Don’t touch me anymore.  I want to sleep.”

Qin Jingchuan licked Yun Huai’s red lips, his tendons bulging with suppressed desire.

“Alright, go to sleep.”

He gently patted Yun Huai’s back, pulling the reluctant young man into his arms.

Yun Huai closed his eyes, his mind a whirlwind of emotions.

Qin Jingchuan hugged the delicate young man in his arms, greedily staring at his beloved.  Even he couldn’t understand how he could love someone so deeply, after only meeting them twice.

But he was inevitably caught in the trap, willingly sinking deeper and deeper.

From childhood, he had always fought for what he wanted.  Now that he had his beloved, it was the same.  He would never let go of the person in front of him.

—Ah Huai, a promise is a promise.  From the moment you agreed to me, your future is destined to be intertwined with mine.

He would let Yun Huai spread his wings and soar freely through the sky, but no matter how high or far he flew, he would eventually return to his side.

Meanwhile, Yun Huai was frantically tapping on his system, forcing it to come online in the middle of the night.

【Host, what do you want?】

He was in the middle of a game with his friends!  He had suddenly been summoned by his host.

Yun Huai quickly said in his mind, “Go check Qin Jingchuan’s background.  I suspect he’s Shen Du.  This person gives me a strange sense of familiarity.”

System 729:  【What?  How could Shen Du and Qin Jingchuan be the same person?】

They were from different worlds.  How could they be the same person!

Yun Huai thought, “Their eyes gave me an unprecedented sense of familiarity.  It’s a feeling that permeates my soul.”

“Go check who he really is.”

System 729:  【Besides Fast Transmigration Bureau missioners, the only beings who can travel through time are those who are undergoing tribulation or the most mysterious gods.】

【But the Bureau has a rule:  two missioners cannot appear in the same world.  So, we can basically rule out the possibility that he’s a fellow missioner.】

It hesitated.  【As for whether Shen Du and Qin Jingchuan are celestial beings who have descended to undergo tribulation, I believe you know better than I do.】

Before his host joined the Fast Transmigration Bureau, he had been the Lord of Destiny in the Heavenly Realm.  He knew all about tribulation.

He could check it himself.

Yun Huai thought carefully.  “He’s not.  If he were a celestial being who had descended to undergo tribulation, I would definitely be able to sense the celestial aura around him.”

Perhaps to others, celestial beings who had descended to undergo tribulation were no different from ordinary mortals, but to him, a former Lord of Destiny, it was impossible to hide.

The celestial aura was unmistakable.

System 729:  【If he’s not a celestial being who has descended, then there’s only one possibility left.】

【He’s a god who has descended to undergo tribulation!!!】

Yun Huai was even more confused.  “I remember that the ancient gods either returned to the heavens or went into seclusion.  How could they appear in the Three Thousand Worlds?”

System 729:  【Host, there’s one god who doesn’t play by the rules.】

Compared to the other gods who were elusive, that ancient god who came from the Demon Realm didn’t have so many rules.

Yun Huai:  “Really?!”

He had never seen the legendary ancient gods in the Heavenly Realm after he ascended.  He thought they had all died or gone into hiding, as the rumors said.

“Tell me, who’s so bored?”

System 729:  【The Demon God Zhu Ming.】

Yun Huai was stunned.  “Σ(っ °Д °;)っ”

Before he ascended to become a celestial being, he was a deer demon, a true-born fairy.  He had naturally heard his parents and elders mention this Demon God.

But wasn’t he a powerful being who lived in seclusion?  Wasn’t he a legendary figure?  Wasn’t he an ancient Demon God who was in seclusion?

“System, you’re not messing with me, are you?!”

System 729:  【I’m not messing with you.】

【I heard it from the little system in the Marriage Department when I was chatting with them.  The Demon God seems to live in seclusion, but he has already sent himself into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.  I don’t know how many times he’s been reincarnated in the Three Thousand Worlds.】

His little system’s boss was the Matchmaker.  He had told it this when he was drunk, so it shouldn’t be a lie.

Yun Huai:  “(ー_ー)!!”

“Is he bored?  He’s not doing his job.  Why is he running around the Three Thousand Worlds?”

Besides celestial beings who had to undergo tribulation and missioners like them who wanted to earn merit, who in their right mind would run around the Three Thousand Worlds to be reincarnated.

Remember, entering the Three Thousand Worlds requires sealing all your cultivation, which means that millions of years of cultivation are reduced to nothing in the small world.  How could celestial beings who were accustomed to using their celestial powers endure that?

For most celestial beings, entering the Three Thousand Worlds was a punishment.  Few were willing to go, otherwise, the Fast Transmigration Bureau wouldn’t be so short-staffed.

The Fast Transmigration Bureau had been established for a long time, but all the staff combined were less than three thousand, and the turnover rate was the highest of all departments in the Heavenly Realm.

Few celestial beings like Lu Yan could do missions for sixty thousand years without getting tired of the Fast Transmigration life.  Otherwise, the Romance Department head wouldn’t have tried so hard to poach Lu Yan from the No-CP Department.

System 729:  【Who knows?  Maybe the Demon God’s thinking is different from ours.  After all, I know that none of the other gods have the ‘leisure’ of the Demon God Zhu Long.】

Yun Huai:  My heart is tired.  I don’t want to talk.

He really shouldn’t have joined the Romance Department…

If he had known, he wouldn’t have listened to Moonlight Goddess and transferred to the Romance Department.

Moonlight Goddess and the Matchmaker were both smooth talkers.  After all, they were celestial beings who connected people, so naturally, they were more eloquent than ordinary people.

The Romance Department and the Marriage Department, both poisonous!

System 729:  【Host, what are you going to do now?】

Yun Huai:  “What else can I do?  Lie down and accept my fate!”

He couldn’t kick the reincarnating Demon God, so he could only accept it for now.

He couldn’t beat him, and he couldn’t talk him out of it!  What else could he do?

He didn’t believe he would encounter this bored, reincarnating Demon God every time.

System 729:  ╮( ω )╭

【You decide.  Take care.】  It went offline, leaving its host to process the bombshell news.

But it quietly went back to the Fast Transmigration Bureau and checked the true identities of Shen Du and Qin Jingchuan with the Romance Department head.

Maybe it had guessed wrong!

Maybe he wasn’t a Demon God, but a celestial being who had been demoted and was endlessly reincarnated, just happening to encounter his host.
