The demonic cultivator, who was a sealed cultivator at the foundation building stage, was surprised by the eyes of this righteous young man.
At that moment, it felt as though ten thousand swords had stabbed through his eyebrows, and he was hung by chains in an abyss as a blood-colored corridor stretched out in his mind.
But all of these disappeared in a blink of an eye.
He couldn’t tell whether this was an illusion or if it was something else.

The demonic cultivator froze in his place for a while before narrowing his eyes as he said to Su Yu, “Compared to a cultivator from the righteous path, you seem to be more similar to a member of the demonic way.
Tell me, would you like to consider joining my demon sect? I could vouch for you.” 

Su Yu didn’t answer his question.
Instead, Su Yu said in a genuinely distressed voice, “I would love to kill you right now, but I still have some use in keeping you alive… Well, I’ll let you live just a little longer.”

The demonic cultivator was frightened by his speech.
After flinching in fright, he smiled as he said, “You’re so chatty.
Did a mere Qi refining disciple threaten to kill me? How will you do that?”

 

 

“You’ll know soon.”

Su Yu stood up as he held Lin Zhizhi in his arms.
His every move carried the noble elegance of a noble family member.
When he looked at the demonic cultivator again, his expression had already returned to normal, and the killing intent had vanished from his eyes as he calmly said to him. 

The demonic cultivator didn’t intend to have an unnecessary chat with this young man in front of him.
At this moment, he was still in his eagle form as he leaped from the sky and attacked Su Yu.

 

Su Yu waved his hand, and a slivery enchantment enveloped the area where the demonic cultivator was.
From the demonic cultivator’s point of view, he had descended into a bottomless zone instantaneously.
Even if he goes up or continues to go down, he will always return to his starting point.

No matter how or where he attacked, he couldn’t seem to break this barrier.

After a whole day had passed, the barrier was automatically released, but Su Yu and Lin Zhizhi had long since disappeared.

When Lin Zhizhi woke up, he was lying in Su Yu’s arms.

His friend’s chin rested on top of his head, a hand loosely wrapped around his chest, and his warm breath sprinkled on his neck.
Lin Zhizhi’s shoulders were no longer sore, but it was replaced by a cold chill instead.

The young master of the Lin family was startled.
He jumped out of his friend’s arms in a panic, accidentally bumping into Su Yu’s chin as he stood up with a frown.

 

Su Yu seemed to have woken up from Lin Zhizhi’s movements.
Su Yu rubbed the red mark on his chin with tired eyes as he lightly asked, “What’s wrong?” 

Lin Zhizhi checked himself from top to bottom.
His clothes are intact, and they were also the same, and the injury he got yesterday had already gotten treated with some medicine.
Other than that, there weren’t any other abnormalities in his body.
And the most important thing is, he still has his charming physique!

Placing his mind at ease, he recalled what had happened yesterday and asked Su Yu, ‘Why did you come for me yesterday? And what did you do to make me faint?”

Su Yu stroked his neck, looking like he hadn’t fully awakened yet.
After a pause, he slowly replied, “He didn’t come after me, and he was chasing you most of the time.
I couldn’t help but be worried and came looking for you.
And as for making you faint… I have some special methods for that, which are my secret.
I don’t want anyone finding out about it.
I hope you understand.”

Lin Zhizhi gave a low, “en” He couldn’t help but caress the wound on his shoulders as he asked, “Did you treat my wound? What else did you do besides that?”

Hearing his question, Su Yu answered with a straight face, “Your injury was pretty serious, so I applied some medicine for you.
As for other things… what else did you want me to do?”

The corners of Lin Zhizhi’s mouth twitched before he hurriedly shook his head, saying that he need to fo to ‘relieve’ himself and escape here.

It’s not that he’s thinking about it too much.
It’s just that “Thinking about that day.” had opened a new world for him.
Now that the system is sleeping, there isn’t any way to know if Su Yu had given up on his feelings or not.
So don’t blame him for thinking too much about it.

Su Yu looked at his back and curled the corners of his mouth.

 

He didn’t do anything last night.
It is just that he touched him a little when he was putting the medicine on.
Su Yu passionately kissed him as well.
He left plenty of marks, which were removed with the medicine later on.

What he did doesn’t matter…? 

Leaving Su Yu aside, who was still reminiscing yesterday’s events, Lin Zhizhi had already walked out of the cave.

The place Su Yu chose for the night was a cave surrounded by mountains and rivers.
There was a small stream out of the cave and beautiful scenery around him.
After Lin Zhizhi went out of the cave, he lightly jumped and came to the side of a creek.
Lin Zhizhi scooped some water in the palm of his hand and cleaned his face.

As soon as he left the cave, his friend also came out.
He sat by the stream and rested his chin in one hand as he thoughtfully said, “After I got rid of that demonic cultivator last night, I searched everywhere for a place to stay and happened to pass by a big river.
I caught a few fish there.
Do you want to eat some Zhizhi?”

Lin Zhizhi, who was tired of eating the roasted chicken, recited an apology in his mind three times for the small dough before he decisively nodded to his friend. 

Su Yu threw out a few lively fish from his spatial ring before smoothly starting a fire and taking out a weapon to remove the scales.
He was actually using a high-grade spiritual tool that was specially created by the Su family to descale the fish.
This kind of demeanor could make both people and gods furious with him.
It’s basically the same as Feng Qin using different types of special flames from the Feng family to roast chickens.

His friend’s cooking skills had always been good.
Earlier, when the two of them went to explore the strange land together, their preparations were all prepared by him.
Now, it seems that it hasn’t changed.

When Su Yu finished cooking, Lin Zhizhi couldn’t wait to grab the grilled fish into his hands and stuff it into his starving stomach.

Su Yu looked at Lin Zhizhi with a smile and felt very satisfied. 

Compared to dominating the world, he would be happier if he could accompany Lin Zhizhi like this, cultivating and becoming immortals together with him.

But their peaceful rest didn’t last long.
A few hours later, the lingering demonic cultivator from yesterday once again appeared before them.
With a gloomy aura, he said, “I’ve finally found you again, you pair of wild mandarin ducks! I’d like to see how you’d try to kill me this time.
That barrier was a one-time use treasure, so I wonder how many times will you escape from me again?”

Lin Zhizhi’s grievances, both old and new flooded into his heart.
With the Wenxian sword in hand, he immediately thought of fighting the demonic cultivator, but Su Yu coughed and pulled him as he said, “I saved you yesterday and suffered some internal injury, and your old wounds aren’t fully healed as well.
If you fight him again, I’m afraid only death would await you.”

Lin Zhizhi bit his lips as he heard his words, hesitating on what he should do. 

“How sure are you able to defeat him?”

“…It’s, about thirty percent?” Lin Zhizhi twitched his fingers as he said in uncertainty.

“Then you still have a seventy percent chance of dying.
You know this, but you still want to gamble on it.” Su Yu said to him.

If the young master of the Lin family was alone, he would choose to bet on his thirty percent chance of winning.
But this cut sleeve friend of his got injured trying to save him, the sound of the other’s coughing kept on echoing in his ears.
In the end, Lin Zhizhi chose to give it up and flee together according to Su Yu’s words. 

And then, history repeated itself yet again.

It is difficult for the two Qi refining stage cultivators to escape from the demonic cultivator’s chase.

 

There were too many tracking methods in the foundation’ establishment stage.

Su Yu had found snakes and grasses with odd fragrances on them and insects that could sense their tracks as well… If they didn’t deal with them, they wouldn’t be able to escape the pursuit of the demonic cultivator. 

They thought that they would get seriously injured again when they escaped the demonic cultivator, but on the contrary, it was only the first chase that harmed them, though most of them were Su Yu’s injuries.
Fortunately, Su Yu is clever and was able to narrowly avoid danger every time.

Lin Zhizhi followed behind with the Wenxian sword in hand.

Actually, if Lin Zhizhi were to fight against the demonic cultivator, he would definitely get seriously injured, and maybe land in a sorry state.
But he wouldn’t necessarily lose.

He is a genius cultivator, and fighting an opponent beyond his cultivation stage isn’t an impossible thing for him to do.
This kind of genius needed to grow step by step on the boundary of life and death.
He needed to have his life on the line before he could have a breakthrough. 

But Su Yu had forcibly cut off this possibility.

He constantly interrupted Lin Zhizhi’s thoughts when he was about to go up and forcibly fight the demonic cultivator.
He told him not to do anything he wasn’t sure about, telling him to follow his lead, and holding the other back with their friendship.

Because compared to a duel that could lead to his death, this would at least be safer with the possibility of not sustaining any injury.

Su Yu couldn’t just sit back and watch his friend suffer any bit of injury in front of him.
Seeing the old wound on Lin Zhizhi’s shoulder nearly made him unable to hold back his desire to kill. 

It was only his shoulders now, but what about in the future? Could it be his heart next time?

In his plan, Lin Zhizhi should grow up safely and smoothly before finally becoming his Daoist companion willingly.
There should be no possibility of Lin Zhizhi dying in this plan.

He couldn’t imagine what he would do if Lin Zhizhi really died somewhere he couldn’t follow.

The real purpose of Su Yu’s action was to make Lin Zhizhi get used to being rescued by him and make him listen to his words in the process.
Su Yu could also grow back their childhood trust in the process, and instill the idea of not fighting to the brink of death into Lin Zhizhi’s mind. 

Sword cultivators are often similar to their weapons.
Indestructible, yet also easy to break.
The road to immortality is not full of blooming flowers.
Instead, it’s filled with bones and bloodshed.
He didn’t want Lin Zhizhi to become one of those bones.

What Su Yu hoped for, was for Lin Zhizhi to rely on him, just like when they were young.
He would hide behind him, regardless of the ups and downs of the outside world, with no one being able to separate the both of them.

And that includes death itself.
