Chapter 215- Cold Indifferent Loyal Dog VS. Playful Ghost King (10)
After that, Yin Tianyi’s daily routine of masking the bitterness of the medicine became his norm. The man, who fully understood Mu Jin’s independent nature, had no resistance whatsoever. Perhaps he even found it to be a pleasant experience.
Mu Jin tirelessly demanded his own benefits, but since he hadn’t fully materialized yet, although he could touch his lover, he didn’t have much sensation in terms of taste. So, although the bitter medicine circulated in his mouth, he didn’t taste much bitterness.
However, Mu Jin had always secretly thought that when his cultivation was restored to the point where he could materialize, he would definitely have a big feast.
Every day, watching his lover cook but being unable to taste the food himself made Mu Jin feel very unhappy. Although Yin Tianyi’s cooking wasn’t anything fancy, mostly just simple home-cooked dishes, Mu Jin still longed for it.
Since he also tended to reject the method of tasting food through the sense of smell with ghostly objects, he could only watch the man eat with longing eyes.
Seeing how Mu Jin looked at him eating, Yin Tianyi specially bought some incense for Mu Jin as an offering. However, this decisively earned Mu Jin’s disdain.
What kind of nonsense was eating incense? He definitely didn’t want to eat incense!
Then Mu Jin showed a vivid performance of outright refusal in front of the man.
After drinking the medicine Mu Jin had him drink for a few days, Yin Tianyi had to admit that this demon indeed had remarkable skills in pharmacology. In no time at all, he felt a significant improvement in his physical condition.
Although he had doubts when he started taking the medicine, he didn’t expect the effects to be so rapid. Even the dark ointments Mu Jin had him apply to his previous injuries healed them at lightning speed.
With his enhanced physique, Yin Tianyi began to exercise every morning according to his habits from his past life. He also bought some simple exercise equipment to put in the house, hoping to quickly return to his peak state from his past life.
Mu Jin watched Yin Tianyi’s actions without raising any questions. He also hoped that his lover’s body could be healthier, so he naturally wanted to support him with all his might. As for the way of supporting, if it included hugs and kisses, it counted.
After about a month of nurturing, Yin Tianyi’s body had completely recovered. Although his martial arts skills were not yet at the peak state of his past life, a few small-time thugs couldn’t get close to him.
Mu Jin happily lingered by Yin Tianyi’s side every day, enjoying the bliss of taking advantage of him. Although he hadn’t absorbed any Yin energy-rich tonic, by persevering in mooching off his lover, he finally gathered quite a bit of energy. So much so that now he could maintain a physical form for half a day.
This development delighted Mu Jin because he could finally touch other objects in the room. However, the first thing he did after materializing was to have Yin Tianyi cook a big meal for him to eat.
Watching the beauty in front of him, holding a chicken leg in one hand and a skewer of meat in the other, with cheeks puffed up like a little hamster and oil smeared all over his mouth, Yin Tianyi almost couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
However, to prevent the greasy mouth of the other from smearing his face with oil, the man struggled to maintain a poker face. But he didn’t expect that the first thing this demon would ask of him after temporarily restoring his physical form would be something like this, which truly made him feel indescribably—adorable.
Yin Tianyi quietly watched Mu Jin indulging himself in front of him, subconsciously thinking, perhaps this demon was actually a hidden foodie.
Seeing Yin Tianyi staring at him but not eating the food on the table, with most of it already in his own belly, Mu Jin finally blushed. He cleared his throat lightly, pushed the plate of roasted chicken in front of Yin Tianyi, and said, “Tianyi, come and eat with me!”
Yin Tianyi shook his head at the invitation and said gently, “I’m not hungry, you go ahead and eat.”
Watching Mu Jin’s eating habits, the man felt relieved that he had eaten two buns on the way home from buying groceries. Now he doubted whether the food on the table was enough for Mu Jin and considered whether to go back to the kitchen to make some soup or something.
However, after he spoke, the sulky expression on Mu Jin’s face surprised him. Assertively grabbing a chicken leg and handing it to himself, Mu Jin said, “I’m the master, obey me, I command you to eat now!”
Yin Tianyi nodded at his words, his eyes filled with amusement. Taking a bite of the chicken leg in his hand, he inexplicably felt that the taste of this chicken leg seemed much more delicious than usual.
Mu Jin couldn’t possibly overeat, and almost all the dishes on the table were gone. But he didn’t eat Yin Tianyi’s food for nothing because later that night, while the man was asleep, he went to find the Yuan family.
It wasn’t that Mu Jin immediately wanted to teach Yuan Hongshen a lesson; he just wanted to probe the situation first and see how things were. After all, Yuan Cheng was the protagonist in this world, and his family also had a certain amount of luck. Mu Jin didn’t think it would be easy to defeat Yuan Hongshen.
As expected, after arriving near the Yuan family, Mu Jin felt a strong pressure around him, making it impossible for him to approach the Yuan family’s old house. Mu Jin could feel that the surroundings of the Yuan family’s old house had been set up with some talismanic barriers that could prevent creatures like them from approaching.
After sensing this, Mu Jin immediately thought that Yuan Hongshen must have done it. Not only because Yuan Hongshen had always been interested in Feng Shui and the like but also because of the unethical things he had done in his early years. It was probably also making him uneasy, so naturally, he wanted to protect his own home.
Knowing that his power had not fully recovered, Mu Jin didn’t want to take any risks, but he also didn’t plan to return empty-handed. So, he quietly waited near the Yuan family’s old house, and when Yuan Hongshen came out of the house the next morning, Mu Jin followed him.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Hongshen’s entourage was quite large, with several bodyguards even following behind him. Mu Jin was a ghost, so naturally, no one could see his existence. However, when Yuan Hongshen came out, he felt a chilling sensation creeping up behind him.
Yuan Hongshen instinctively turned his head back but didn’t see anything. What he didn’t notice was that the pendant on his neck briefly glowed. He then got into the car as usual and left calmly.
Mu Jin frowned as he watched the black sedan drive away, just having sensed some powerful magic on Yuan Hongshen that seemed to envelop his entire being, preventing Mu Jin from getting close.
To think that Yuan Hongshen had wrapped himself and his estate in such a powerful protective barrier. It seemed that Yuan Hongshen was indeed very cautious and afraid of death. Mu Jin couldn’t help but admire Yin Tianyi from the original timeline, who managed to kill Yuan Hongshen. He truly deserved to be called his man. Even though the outcome wasn’t good, his combat power was definitely extraordinary.
However, what Mu Jin didn’t know was that at that moment, Yin Tianyi was sitting on the bed with a gloomy expression, showing clear signs of displeasure on his usually expressionless face.
When he woke up this morning and didn’t see Mu Jin by his side as usual, he found it strange. He searched the room but couldn’t find the figure of the demon, so did Mu Jin just leave without informing him?
Logically, this demon suddenly barged into his life and even arrogantly made a contract with him. Whether he stayed or left shouldn’t have a big impact on him. But at this moment, the man felt a sense of loss and anger that he himself didn’t realize.
Perhaps it had been too long since he felt lonely, finally having someone, not just a ghost, accompany him. Although the other’s character was eccentric and often took advantage of him, he had to admit that this kind of familial companionship was something he rarely experienced and cherished.
Unconsciously feeling a bit resentful towards Mu Jin, he felt that even if the other wanted to leave, he should have told him in advance. How could he just disappear like this without a word?
Late into the night, Mu Jin floated back home. Although ghosts generally feared sunlight, with Mu Jin’s cultivation level, even though his current strength was not even one-tenth of what it used to be, he wasn’t afraid of sunlight.
Floating back home leisurely, Mu Jin met the man sitting in the kitchen. Seeing the unpleasant expression on the man’s face, the young man felt a bit embarrassed and scratched his face awkwardly as he said to him, “Tianyi, sorry, it seems that your master can’t immediately help you get revenge!”
Yin Tianyi paused at Mu Jin’s words, then heard Mu Jin talk about how he had staked out the Yuan family yesterday and wanted to follow Yuan Hongshen today.
Now the Yuan family and Yuan Hongshen both had some means to restrain ghosts, so Mu Jin temporarily couldn’t do anything about them. But admitting that he couldn’t do anything out of the blue made Mu Jin feel a bit embarrassed.
As for Yin Tianyi, he didn’t feel the slightest disappointment. In fact, when he saw Mu Jin, the shameless ghost, suddenly feeling embarrassed, he couldn’t help but feel a hidden sense of satisfaction.
Somehow, seeing that beautiful face showing such a conflicted expression was quite enjoyable. He couldn’t help but wonder if this demon would look even better when crying pitifully. The man’s thoughts wandered off in a strange direction, and he didn’t pay attention to what Mu Jin said later.
But in the end, the demon had returned, which put him in a very good mood. Seeing that it was already late and past breakfast time, Yin Tianyi prepared a sumptuous lunch to reward Mu Jin for his hard work all night and to soothe his wounded soul.
Afterwards, the man also took the initiative to suggest taking Mu Jin to the ghost market, comforting him that it wasn’t too late to deal with the Yuan family after his strength had fully recovered. Although what he was thinking was, since it took so many years in the previous life to know the truth, it wasn’t too late now; he could wait.
Mu Jin agreed with Yin Tianyi’s words without hesitation.
