When he arrived at the Heaven’s Rain Palace, Chu Mu Yun’s complexion was very bad.

He really went hard on him last night, he hardly got any sleep at all last night.

Xie Qian Lan knew that Chu Mu Yun’s cultivation is high, and also understood that he had great stamina. In addition, his ice spirit beast body had great recovery strength, so one night alone won’t be enough to make him show his fatigue.

But he really wanted to how this serious and restrained leader would look if he was exhausted, so he did not hesitate to release both the Beast of Rapture and the Beast of Charm.

His body had already been trained to be sensitive, so how could he stand the stimulation?

Chu Mu Yun really did lose himself a little.

And an idea had even sprouted in his mind: doing it this way might actually feel better than being on top.

Zero: “…”

Chu Mu Yun suddenly sobered up, and couldn’t help but curse, “Shit!”

Zero cleared his throat, “Actually…”

Chu Mu Yun: “Shush, I want to hit someone right now.”

Zero: “qaq!”

Chu Mu Yun: ^_^

Zero: “What I wanted to say is…Lust is too terrible! He’s a bastard! He’s the biggest bastard in the world! Abuse him and let him taste the consequences!”

Chu Mu Yun: “Feels a bit fake.”

Zero thought seriously for a moment, “Screw Lust that little slut and have him pray for mercy in bed!”

Chu Mu Yun: “…”

Zero: “qaq, is that no good? I’m out of ideas…”

Chu Mu Yun: “Shush, little children shouldn’t learn to speak big people words.”

Zero: “…”

After ‘bullying’ his DOS 3.0, Chief Chu went straight back into work. Whether he was top or bottom didn’t matter, the most important was who the one sticking it in was in the end!

And in that, Chu Mu Yun had full confidence.

After being tossed around for a whole night, and rushing home in such a long trip, Chu Mu Yun really was very tired.

He had just reached the Heaven’s Rain palace, and the first thing he saw as soon as he raised his head was the boy who stood at the front.

Shen Shui Yan was dressed in silvery robes with wide sleeves, and a complicated skirt in an exaggerated style. But thanks to his excessively delicate features, the majestic clothes on his body were like the background leaves in a beautiful scenery, enhancing his look.

He saw Chu Mu Yun at first glance, and a glimmer flashed past his dark eyes. He went forward to greet him, and his clear voice was very pleasant to hear, “Father.”

Chu Mu Yun was slightly stunned for a moment, but then he smiled, “You’ve grown taller.”

Shen Shui Yan’s lips lifted into a smile that was so beautiful, that its beauty eclipsed everything around him. “Yan’er misses…”

But before he could finish, he caught sight of the red-robed man behind Chu Mu Yun from the corner of his eyes.

The man was very tall, and he even seemed to be taller than Chu Mu Yun. He had a slender body with red clothes that were slightly over the top, but still unexpectedly complemented his looks to become even more flattering and lovely.

Shen Shui Yan looked at him. Xie Qian Lan also looked at him.

The two met gazes.

A pair of lips curved downwards, its smile disappearing; the other raised up, forming an ambiguous smile.

Shen Shui Yan’s voice cooled, “Who is he?”

Xie Qian Lan did not speak and only turned to look at Chu Mu Yun. The angle he turned to was very good, just enough to show the watery affections within his peach blossom eyes.

Shen Shui Yan could not help but clench the hands hidden within his sleeves into tight fists.

Chu Mu Yun ignored Xie Qian Lan and walked to Shen Shui Yan. Softly, he asked, “Have you waited long? The weather is growing cold, don’t get yourself sick. Let’s warm up inside.”

Shen Shui Yan wanted to ask more, but seeing that Chu Mu Yun did not even spare a glance to Xie Qian Lan, he felt more at ease. He also had not seen him for a very long time, so he was nearly driven mad from tossing and turning through all those nights. He only wanted to get closer now, even closer, and it would be best if he never left him ever again, not even a single step.

—Unfortunately, he was not yet strong enough to control him completely.

Shen Shui Yan suppressed the impulses in his heart, and followed Chu Mu Yun into the room.

With the triumphant return of their respected leader, a feast could not be missed in the Heaven’s Rain Palace.

Though their lord’s expedition lasted four entire months, Chu Mu Yun’s battle with the beasts produced remarkable results. Not only was he able to harvest countless treasured materials from the bodies of the beasts he killed, but more importantly, the cultivators suffered nearly zero casualties with the presence of their respected leader. There were even a few who showed distinctive results, and was able to rise through the realms with their fortune of being guided by the leader himself.

In short, everyone was overjoyed.

During the feast, the seat on Chu Mu Yun’s left was empty, while Shen Shui Yan sat to his left. Then, it was the leaders of various forces and also the cultivators who were able to catch Chu Mu Yun’s attention.

Xie Qian Lian did not attend the feast. Even though those who went for the expedition knew that this man was different from the common rabble, nobody dared to mention it when he came to Heaven’s Rain Palace today.

After all, the relationship between the respected leader and the young palace master…Uh…Even the denser people could tell what was going on.

Even though the young palace master was young, his techniques were immense. In just a short three years he was able to conquer countless forces, so how could anyone dare to do offend him?

Halfway through the banquet, Chu Mu Yun was starting to feel a little restless.

Shen Shui Yan’s gaze had never left him, so how could he not have noticed?

“Father, if you’re done with your meal, can you come with Yan’er to the study for a while? You’ve left for so long, so there are some matters that require your wisdom.”

Chu Mu Yun had practically delegated all his duties, how could there be anything that required his judgment?

The only reason Shen Shui Yan said so was because he could tell how tired he was, and wanted him to get some rest.

Chu Mu Yun’s lips raised into a smile, and looked warmly to him, “All right.”

Both of them got up together, and everyone in the hall got up to salute them.

Chu Mu Yun waved his hand, and ordered someone to bring in a few jars of wine for them to enjoy.

A burst of cheers could be heard in the hall. Chu Mu Yun really could barely hold on any longer, so as soon as he left the room, his body started to stagger a little.

Shen Shui Yan supported his arm, and asked worriedly, “Father?”

Chu Mu Yun shut his eyes, his face slightly pale, “I’m fine, I just haven’t had enough sleep these days.”

Hearing this, Shen Shui Yan lowered his eyes faintly and muttered softly, “I’m too incompetent.”

Chu Mu Yun looked at him, “Why would you say that?”

Shen Shui Yan pursed his lips, and the a sense of paranoia could be heard suppressed in his boyish voice, “If I was strong like father, then, with that kind of power…father wouldn’t have to go out on expeditions anymore, and you’d be able to rest!”

He spoke too seriously at that moment, and it made Chu Mu Yun feel warm in his heart. He raised his hands and stroked the boy’s fair cheeks, “To know that you have these thoughts alone is enough.”

Shen Shui Yan raised his head abruptly and caught Chu Mu Yun’s hand.

Chu Mu Yun was slightly stunned, but when he looked into his eyes, he was nearly pulled in by the rampaging emotions surging within them.

Shen Shui Yan looked at him without even blinking, “I missed you very much.”

Chu Mu Yun could not find his voice.

Shen Shui Yan hugged him strongly. As a boy, he was not as tall as him, nor his body as firm, but at this moment, the arms around his waist felt as strong as iron, and he could not extricate himself.

Chu Mu Yun’s thoughts jumped, and after a moment, he sighed and returned his hold.

Since his words of “I missed you very much” was spoken, he never said a single word.

Shen Shui Yan was so close to him, yet he still felt that they were not close enough. It’s just that these desires were too sordid that he had to hold them down. After calming his emotions down, he said, “You should rest early, father, Yan’er will come to see you again tomorrow.”

Chu Mu Yun nodded and bid him goodbye, “You should rest early as well.”

Shen Shui Yan raised a smile to him, “All right.”

Indeed, he could finally have a good rest for once. Since the day Chu Mu Yun left, he had never been able to sleep peacefully. The feeling of emptiness was too terrible. His palms were empty, and so was his heart; to lose control of something that required one to be strong felt much too painful, to the point that he could not sleep at night.

Chu Mu Yun had deliberately slowed down his steps on the way back to his room. He raised his fingers slightly, and quietly did something.

These actions were extremely subtle, and nobody could detect it at all. But this subtle movement had caused the subsequent developments to become even more interesting.

He walked into the room, and Shen Shui Yan had also turned to leave.

But just as he was about to get far, an unfamiliar red figure walked close to Chu Mu Yun’s resting quarters.

Shen Shui Yan suddenly stopped in his steps. Though he did not see his face, he was very sure that this…was the man who came back with his father!
