Ink Blade Chapter 50 (Part 2)
Translated by Sylver
Please, Your Thoughts (part 2)
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Yan finally released the man in his arms, and both of their clothes were in disarray.
Mo Ren was left weak and almost fainted from Chu Yan's advances, his legs nearly giving out. A few strands of black hair scattered across his fair face as he leaned against the wall, struggling to catch his breath, his lips moving slightly.
Those lips had been tinted with a lustrous color from the palace master's kisses,adding a touch of water and radiance, as if drawn a charming cinnabar on the faint landscape painting, making the guard who originally had a sense of loneliness and coldness radiate with newfound splendor.
Chu Yan stared at that touch of color, feeling an agonizing pain like a knife being twisted in his heart for some unknown reason.
He breathed heavily, the corners of his eyes turning red, and hoarsely said, "If you don't like it, this Master won't cross the line. We can still be like we were before…..You will always be the personal guard this Master relies on the most, okay?"
Please agree, he silently pleaded in his heart. As long as Mo Ren agreed, he would have the true blade to sever this bond.
Mo Ren was panting and shaking his head, tremblingly saying, “Ah Ren doesn’t… dislike…”
He lowered his head and tugged at his dark collar, swaying as he took a step closer to Chu Yan, making up for the distance that the master had retreated.
He said softly, “This subordinate is just… not yet proficient…please give Mo Ren a little more time…”
As he spoke, he tilted his neck back and slightly opened his lips. This was a very clever posture.
If the master intended to enjoy, this posture was very suitable for kissing; and if the master had no intention, this posture did not touch, it would not be considered to be flirting with the master.
In short, neither advancing nor retreating crosses the line, if it was put on that kind of servant who served people, it must be a high move.
But Chu Yan was like seeing a thunderbolt in a clear sky, he was first unbelievingly stunned, the next moment anger exploded in his chest, he roared, “Who… who taught you this kind of thing!? Speak!!”
His fingers were tightly clasped on Mo Ren’s shoulder, so hard that the latter’s bones hurt. Mo Ren was silent for a moment, and truthfully said, “This subordinate asked Qiu Jin. That day…in the inn, this subordinate said it was a private matter.”
The guard shook his head, “Also ask the Master not to blame her, it was Mo Ren who insisted on teaching this subordinate.”
Chu Yan was stunned and let go, taking a step back. “Why… why…”
Mo Ren said, “Earlier, one morning, Master you…” He lowered his eyes, touched his lips with his fingers, and softly said, “Also kissed this subordinate.”
There was silence in the alley for a moment, the clouds in the sky darkened, and a needle-like drizzle began to fall.
They were all people who had reached the peak of their internal skills. If their internal strength was released, this bit of rain naturally couldn’t wet their clothes.
However, dark water stains spread on Chu Yan’s outer robe, the palace master seemed unaware, staring blankly at Mo Ren, his soul had long been scattered.
It’s funny that he still thought about hiding every day, originally…originally as early as the first time he couldn’t control his feelings…
Seeing Chu Yan like this, Mo Ren also silently withdrew his internal strength. Soon, the summer rain gently drowned the two of them.
Through a thin curtain of rain, Chu Yan looked at Mo Ren and said, “Ah Ren, you don’t understand.”
Mo Ren insisted, “Ah Ren understands.”
There seemed to be something bitter stuck in Chu Yan’s throat, he was silent for a long time, and whispered, “Then you say, what are you to this Master.”
Mo Ren was at a loss for a moment about the question, and a drop of rain jumped down from his eyelashes when he blinked.
He wasn’t prepared for this kind of question.
But now that the master was asking, he could only answer. Mo Ren pondered for a moment, trying to choose his words as carefully and comprehensively as possible.
“Currently, this subordinate is the Master’s guard, but as long as the Master wishes, Mo Ren will be the master’s cherished companion on the pillow, the one who warms the Master’s bed.”
As he spoke, he gained some confidence, thinking that if it was about serving the master, there was nothing he couldn’t learn, so he raised his face and said more firmly.
“Mo Ren knows that his appearance and body may not be pleasing to the Master’s eyes, but…..no matter how the Master wants to use it, this subordinate can accompany him.”
“……” Chu Yan’s face was ashen.
He wanted to put on a comforting expression to face Mo Ren, but his whole body was cold and stiff.
Why…
Even though he knew it would be this outcome, he knew it, that’s why he asked.
But why does it hurt so much when he hears it with his own ears?
His facial expression twisted several times, and he couldn’t say a word. He was in so much pain that his liver and intestines were broken, and he was so cold that he was laughing with his face covered in both grief and desolation.
“He…hahaha, ha, hahahaha…!”
Chu Yan was laughing like a madman in the rain, stumbling backwards until his back hit the wall. As he laughed, there was actually a tear in the corner of his eye. Soon it mixed with the rainwater, turning into water stains on his face, and could no longer be distinguished.
Mo Ren didn’t know where he had answered incorrectly. His face was pale as he knelt down. “…Master, forgive this subordinate.”
“Good Ah Ren.”
Chu Yan stopped laughing, took a deep breath, and helped Mo Ren up with both hands. The tears in his eyes hadn’t disappeared, but his voice was gently coaxing: “You are the best. It’s this Master’s fault for scaring you…..You got wet and cold in the rain, you go back to the inn with this Master first, then…”
“——Master!”
Unexpectedly, the master’s dark gold sleeve was tightly grasped. Mo Ren looked up in the rain, tremblingly said, “…Even if.”
“Even if this subordinate is dull and doesn't understand…if this subordinate can accompany the Master, Ah Ren also wants to learn again.”
The black-clothed guard bowed his head deeply, it was a very light bow. “Asking the Master for mercy. Master, teach me.”
