“Are you done?”
With Xie Shaoyu’s speaking movement, his lips lightly brushed across Jiang Yin’s nose tip.
So fast?
Jiang Yin frowned, a flash of dissatisfaction crossing his lowered eyes, but he still obediently retreated two steps. “Done.”
“Since you’re full, go to sleep.”
“Mm.”
Jiang Yin replied. He turned around, and only then did he bicker and bare his fangs in dissatisfaction!
That wasn’t even enough to get stuck between my teeth, yet he has the nerve to say I’m full!
Whether I’m full or not, doesn’t he have a clue in his heart?!
Just a moment ago.
Jiang Yin had sneaked into Xie Shaoyu’s room like a ghost.
He pressed both hands onto the edge of the bed, leaned forward close to the man sleeping in the bed, and kept his nose lingering right by the man’s lips, sniffing gently.
“What are you trying to do?”
A low, slightly magnetic voice suddenly sounded.
Jiang Yin snapped to his senses instantly, raising his eyes to meet the man’s eyes brimming with moonlight.
The next instant, the light was turned on.
Jiang Yin stepped back a few steps. “Heh, heh-heh, brother.”
He smiled somewhat stiffly, an adorable canine tooth vaguely visible at the corner of his upturned lips.
Xie Shaoyu got up and got out of bed. He was wearing a black silk pajama top, with the topmost button undone, faintly revealing the muscle contours beneath. He looked extremely sexy.
Jiang Yin’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
Xie Shaoyu stepped forward and came to a stop right in front of him.
Looking at the young man who had broken into his room in the middle of the night, his voice carried a trace of hoarseness:
“Are you hungry?”
“Mm.” Jiang Yin nodded obediently.
“Come here.” Xie Shaoyu supported the back of his head, signaling him to get closer.
Only then did Jiang Yin raise his head and lean in, stopping his nose right at Xie Shaoyu’s lips, and then breathing in Xie Shaoyu’s scent with an expression of pure enjoyment.
So fragrant.
The essence belonging uniquely to Xie Shaoyu’s scent slipped through Jiang Yin’s nose and scurried into his body. Jiang Yin felt his entire body relax and refresh.
Jiang Yin was originally a fox demon. In the past, he used to rely on absorbing human essence to cultivate, and once a demon absorbed human essence, it would easily become an addiction.
Even though he had arrived in this world, he still had to absorb human essence every two days, or else he would spiral out of control.
Sigh, what a pity. In this world full of humans everywhere where he could theoretically eat from an all-you-can-eat buffet he could only rely on the scraps of essence doled out by Xie Shaoyu to get by, never able to absorb enough to his heart’s content.
Jiang Yin lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and flashes of what had happened over the past few days crossed his mind.
That was a week ago.
While he was resting in his fox cave, he woke up to find himself in an unfamiliar world.
At the time, he appeared in a strange room, still holding a book in his hand.
He flipped through it, and humph, he couldn’t read a single character!
Disdainfully tossing the book aside, he wanted to use magic to return to his fox cave; however, for some reason, his demonic power had vanished completely!
Looking at his reflection in the window, Jiang Yin moved, then furrowed his brow. “Is this… me?”
He had actually turned into a human!
Being turned into a human was one thing, but he had been locked inside this strange room. Even though his nails were nearly worn down to stumps from scratching, he hadn’t been able to open the door.
“Was this door cast with demonic spells?”
He sat dejectedly on the edge of the bed. A gust of wind drilled through the gaps in the window, carrying a rich scent of humanity.
Yet Jiang Yin could only sit dryly in the room and swallow his saliva.
He was so hungry!
Three days later,
Just as Jiang Yin’s mind grew groggy and chaotic, Xie Shaoyu pushed open the door and walked in.
It’s the scent of a human!
Jiang Yin lay flat on his bed with his head hanging backward over the edge, a faint, eerie light glowing in his eyes, looking somewhat spine-chilling.
His nose kept sniffing at the suddenly appearing unfamiliar scent, and with his mind muddled, he only knew that food had delivered itself to his doorstep!
Xie Shaoyu looked at this younger brother who had no blood relation to him, his expression doubtful.
Is this… Jiang Yin?
In a flash, Jiang Yin scrambled up from the bed, lunged right at Xie Shaoyu, and bit fiercely onto his arm!
It’s a human, eat him up, eat him up!
Having had nothing to eat or any essence to absorb for three days, Jiang Yin completely lost his rationality when faced with Xie Shaoyu’s sudden appearance.
The corner of Xie Shaoyu’s brow twitched.
“Jiang Yin, have you lost your mind?”
Xie Shaoyu was very busy, and throughout the entire year, he rarely saw Jiang Yin more than a few times.
This time, because Elder Xie hadn’t been able to get in touch with anyone for three days, he had asked Xie Shaoyu who happened to be handling business nearby to come check on things.
Jiang Yin ignored him, simply going back to chewing on flesh.
Whether Xie Shaoyu’s muscles were too solid or Jiang Yin lacked the strength from hunger, after gnawing for a long time, he couldn’t bite off a single chunk of meat.
He let go of his bite, raising his head pitifully to look at the person in front of him. “I’m so hungry.”
This person’s meat didn’t fill his stomach at all!
However, he did catch a whiff of an even better scent the scent of this human’s essence.
He suddenly leaned close to Xie Shaoyu’s face, taking a deep breath right at the bridge of his nose. So fragrant and delicious!
Xie Shaoyu stepped back two paces, looked at Jiang Yin’s bizarre behavior, and frowned. “What are you doing?”
“I want your essence!”
Jiang Yin declared as he inched closer toward Xie Shaoyu.
Essence? What is that?
With a dark and gloomy expression, Xie Shaoyu retreated to the edge of the bed, feeling more and more that Jiang Yin’s state was somewhat abnormal.
“Jiang Yin, you’d better not provoke me.” A chill permeated his voice.
Yet Jiang Yin didn’t care in the least. Right now, there was only food in his eyes, and he couldn’t spare a thought for anything else.
He thrust his face toward Xie Shaoyu, an action that looked remarkably like… kissing?
The next second, Jiang Yin felt something flash across his vision. Following that, his hands were tightly bound behind his back with a belt-like cord by Xie Shaoyu, and he was tossed onto the bed.
Jiang Yin knelt and sat on the bed, struggling hard with his hands, but he couldn’t break free.
He looked dumbfounded at Xie Shaoyu standing before him.
He, a dignified and mighty great demon, had actually been tied up by a human?!
“Let me go!”
“Otherwise I’ll eat you!”
Xie Shaoyu sat in a chair, supporting his head with one hand, pressing his temples with his fingers every now and then as he looked thoughtfully at the person spouting nonsense on the bed.
From his perspective, the Jiang Yin he met this time was truly strange.
After shouting until he was tired, Jiang Yin finally calmed down.
No! A fox should use a fox’s methods; why did I act rashly like a dog demon? As expected, I was just too starved!
Right after that, Xie Shaoyu watched as Jiang Yin’s previously angry gaze suddenly turned pitiful and aggrieved.
“Brother, I was wrong. I haven’t eaten anything for three days, I’m so hungry…”
This was a tactic Jiang Yin had seen female fox demons use to deal with men: acting pitiful and calling them “brother,” which worked like a charm every single time.
Brother?
Xie Shaoyu raised an eyebrow. This “brother” was called rather obediently, after all.
However, he glanced at the bag of bread on the nightstand and the empty snack wrappers in the trash can.
“You haven’t eaten in three days? Then what is this?”
Xie Shaoyu picked up that bag of bread, tore open the packaging, ripped off a piece, and began eating it leisurely.
[That actually was food!]
Jiang Yin stared at the bread in Xie Shaoyu’s hand, light flashing in his eyes as he swallowed his saliva frantically.
Watching with his own eyes as Xie Shaoyu finished eating the bread in his hand, Jiang Yin grew thoroughly enraged!
[This human actually wouldn’t give him even a single bite!]
The next moment, those pretty peach-blossom eyes brimmed with tears, his lips pounced downward into an expression on the verge of crying.
Xie Shaoyu froze for a moment. Had he gone too far with his teasing?
He took two steps forward to the bedside, picked up a nearby tissue, and wiped away the tears that hadn’t yet fallen from Jiang Yin’s eyes. “What are you crying for?”
Jiang Yin looked up at him, his voice aggrieved: “Brother, my hands hurt.”
Xie Shaoyu furrowed his brow, wrapping his arm around Jiang Yin to untie the leather belt binding his hands.
Jiang Yin lowered his gaze to look at Xie Shaoyu’s long, slender legs, his gaze flickering beneath dense, thick eyelashes.
Finally, the moment Xie Shaoyu released him, Jiang Yin raised his head. His bright eyes carried a trace of cunning as he plunged straight into Xie Shaoyu’s line of sight.
The corners of his lips curled up slowly. “Brother.”
Xie Shaoyu was momentarily dazed, and before he could even react, he was tackled flat onto the ground by Jiang Yin!
Xie Shaoyu raged: “Ji”
However, before the syllable “-ang” could leave his lips, his mouth was sealed shut by Jiang Yin’s lips!
