Chapter 214- Cold Indifferent Loyal Dog VS. Playful Ghost King (09)
“What’s special about these two pieces of jade?” the man asked Mu Jin curiously.
Mu Jin nodded in response to the question, explaining, “These two pieces of jade seem to be very old. I don’t know where that couple from the Wang family got them, but I always feel that the Yin energy on these jade stones is very heavy. Maybe they were excavated from some tomb. If ordinary people wear them, it’s not good for their health, and they might even have bad luck. But for us ghosts, especially ghost cultivators, they are excellent tonics.”
As Mu Jin spoke, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he took a deep breath in front of the jade stones. Then Yin Tianyi saw wisps of black smoke emanating from the jade stones in front of Mu Jin.
These wisps of smoke were quickly absorbed into Mu Jin’s body, and the jade stones, after being absorbed by Mu Jin, lost their original luster, becoming like ordinary stones. When Yin Tianyi tried to pick up the two pieces of jade again, he found that they had turned into powder in his hands.
Seeing Yin Tianyi’s surprised expression, Mu Jin rubbed his nose, not particularly concerned. After all, his lover’s things were his own. While these two pieces of jade might have some value if sold, Mu Jin didn’t mind absorbing them to restore some of his own strength.
It had to be said that these Yin-rich objects were indeed extremely beneficial to ghosts and demons. Although after signing a contract with his lover, Mu Jin could nourish himself with the energy within his lover’s body, it was also beneficial for Mu Jin to be close to Yin Tianyi often. However, the energy stored in human bodies couldn’t compare to the objects buried in tombs for who knows how many years.
With these two pieces of jade as a lead, Mu Jin’s mind churned. He remembered hearing about a ghost market in a certain world in the past, where one could find antiques. Whether they could find good items depended entirely on luck.
He didn’t know if the city where Yin Tianyi was now had a similar place. They certainly didn’t have the money to buy valuable antiques. However, they could try scavenging at the ghost market or similar places. With himself present, it would be easy for him to identify items rich in Yin energy.
Thinking of this, Mu Jin shared his thoughts with Yin Tianyi, who naturally didn’t object. Although it might cost them some money, the demon in front of him was also his strong support.
It was fortunate that Yin Tianyi had stayed in this city for many years and had encountered many things in his past environment. So he did know that there was indeed a ghost market similar to what Mu Jin described in the city they were in now. He might even be able to use the money on hand to help the demon in front of him find some items that could help him restore his strength.
However, if they had these items, Mu Jin probably wouldn’t need to keep absorbing Yang energy from him all the time.
Ignoring the faint sense of regret in his heart, Yin Tianyi pondered quietly, completely unaware that the method by which the demon in front of him was now absorbing Yang energy would one day become one of his favorite methods.
With this thought in mind, the two of them chatted casually for a while. Later, Yin Tianyi comfortably lay down on the bed, intending to rest well for the night. The environment at the Wang family’s place wasn’t good, and after the incident, the man had only spent two nights in the old shed where he used to live.
Although the village chief had expressed his hope that Yin Tianyi could stay with him, the man didn’t want to trouble others too much. Now that he finally had his own place to stay, lying on the comfortable big bed, Yin Tianyi sighed contentedly.
Watching Mu Jin beside him, pulling the lamp chain one by one, Yin Tianyi couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly. He felt as if he finally had a sense of home.
When Mu Jin, who still lacked a physical form, finally finished playing with the lamp chain that he could only move by blowing Yin energy, he floated back to Yin Tianyi’s side. Then, he lay prone on the man’s chest, closed his eyes, and pretended to sleep.
Usually, at the Wang family’s place, his wooden bed was too narrow. If Mu Jin wanted to rest lying on him, he wouldn’t be able to say anything. But now, although the apartment wasn’t large, with only one bedroom, the bed in this bedroom was not small. Yin Tianyi began to wonder if this was appropriate.
Mu Jin sleeping beside him was also fine. Or if the other party didn’t want to, he could sleep on the spacious and comfortable sofa instead of his previous accommodation.
Thinking of this, Yin Tianyi made room for Mu Jin beside him and asked softly, “Do you want to sleep here?”
Considering Mu Jin’s clingy nature, Yin Tianyi didn’t suggest separating from him. Instead, he indicated to the demon in front of him to lie beside him.
Originally, he thought Mu Jin would refuse, but unexpectedly, Mu Jin’s eyes lit up at the sight. In an instant, he rolled off Yin Tianyi’s chest and half-floated on the bed, pulling Yin Tianyi’s arm to make him lie on his side. Then, he burrowed into the man’s arms.
Originally, he had just wanted to rest with Mu Jin lying beside him on the bed, but now they had resorted to another intimate way. Now he had to take the initiative to hold the other person. Yin Tianyi sighed inwardly.
But why did the person in his arms, who was so beautiful and charming, have such a sprawling sleeping posture? Although he wasn’t sure if ghosts really needed rest, this person slept with him every day, and even stayed in bed longer than him.
Mu Jin didn’t care about how conflicted Yin Tianyi might be feeling. He simply made himself as charming and clingy as possible, secretly hoping that Yin Tianyi would lose control and do something.
A few stray strands of hair fell over the young man’s forehead, adding a touch of fragility to his delicate face. His red robe was still disheveled, and from this angle of embracing each other, Yin Tianyi could see Mu Jin’s round shoulders and attractive collarbones. If he leaned closer, he could even see more through the open neckline.
Deep down, there was a man in his thirties, and Yin Tianyi naturally wasn’t as bashful as a young person. Embracing the person in his arms felt cool and comfortable, not overly cold.
Lowering his head to admire Mu Jin, the wings on his back cast shadows on the scene. Yin Tianyi couldn’t help but appreciate the tranquility of the person in front of him.
Thinking that his life was temporarily settled now, Yin Tianyi closed his eyes and soon drifted into a deep sleep.
After learning that these items with strong Yin energy could absorb and replenish his lost cultivation, Mu Jin didn’t immediately urge his lover. After all, his lover had been injured because of the Wang family in the past years and hadn’t had any good days. He needed some time to recuperate and fully recover.
For Mu Jin, regardless of which world he was in or what his status was, he would always prioritize his lover because that was why he existed.
Arriving in this world, although being a demon had certain conveniences, Mu Jin also felt some aspects that made him unhappy. That was because he had lost his original convenient healing ability due to being a ghost in this life.
So, at least in this world, he couldn’t directly use his aura or body to nurture his lover’s physique anymore.
Fortunately, he was very knowledgeable about pharmacology. In the following days, he urged Yin Tianyi to let him go to the traditional Chinese medicine store to get herbs. The prescription, of course, was provided by Mu Jin. As for why they didn’t go to the hospital to get a prescription from a doctor, in this world, there was no one more knowledgeable about pharmacology than Mu Jin.
Although making herbal medicine or preparing topical ointments was a bit troublesome, the effect was definitely the best. So, for the sake of his lover’s health, Mu Jin persisted.
Yin Tianyi, upon hearing Mu Jin say he wanted to get herbs, also found it somewhat novel. Originally, he thought he just had some superficial injuries that didn’t matter much. But hearing Mu Jin say he could use medicine to properly regulate his body and make it stronger, he immediately agreed.
After all, after so many years of growing up in the village where the Wang family didn’t treat him well, his body was very weak now. Even though he had diligently studied combat skills in his past life, he still felt a bit weak inside. If he could strengthen his body sooner and exercise well, at least he could better protect himself.
However, when he really heard Mu Jin’s words and brought back the medicine to brew, Yin Tianyi felt a bit troubled. Although there was no change in his expression, Mu Jin could see the dilemma in his eyes, which amused him.
Blinking, Mu Jin leaned in with a smile and whispered softly to Yin Tianyi, “Tianyi, are you afraid of taking bitter medicine?”
Yin Tianyi stiffened for a moment upon hearing Mu Jin’s words. Although it was true, he was still a grown man. Being afraid of taking bitter medicine was a bit embarrassing to admit.
Who knew that when he finally made up his mind and took a deep breath to finish the bowl of medicine, the person in front of him suddenly kissed him. The icy sensation circulated through his mouth completely.
Yin Tianyi looked at the demon in front of him in shock, then saw him smirk and triumphantly say, “How about it, does it taste less bitter now?”
Yin Tianyi was momentarily stunned by Mu Jin’s words, then immediately nodded calmly. He knew that if he didn’t speak up now, the person in front of him might play another trick on him. In his heart, he couldn’t help but curse silently, indeed, today was another day being teased by this demon.
