Seven Men Chapter 22
Translated by Helliot at Isohungry Translations
Zero:”Pride woke up.”
Chu Mu Yun couldn’t feel him because he had no cultivation now:”Is he by the window?”
Zero:”He’s standing there like a statue.”
Chu Mu Yun wasn’t surprised, rather he was more interested in something else:”Mo Jiu Shao didn’t cover his presence?”
Zero:”He did!”
Chu Mu Yun:”And you can feel him?”
Zero:”I got an upgrade~\(≧▽≦)/~”
Chu Mu Yun:”……”
Zero:”……It was mainly because Mo Jiu Shao was very close that I could feel him.”
Chu Mu Yun understood:”So you’ve been upgraded from Windows 95 to 98?”
Zero:”No……”
Chu Mu Yun had a bad premonition.
In the next moment, Zero explained honestly:”Actually it was dos 1.0 to 2.0.”
Chu Mu Yun: Alright then……it seems we have not even entered the era of Windows.
Chu Mu Yun maintained this shocked attitude as he grieved around the ice and snow as he chatted with Baby Zero for several hours.
In comparison, Pride was more dedicated. He had been watching over him for several hours but first off if he ain’t standing steady, and if that ain’t straight, and if his demeanor wasn’t……
Chu Mu Yun:”00, What expression does Pride have on his face right now?”
Zero looked at it seriously, and pondered about an adjective to describe him seriously:”About,……Maybe……Probably……”
Chu Mu Yun decided to let off his brain capacity, after all he was only at dos 2.0, he couldn’t force an answer out of him.
Chu Mu Yun:”Does he look expressionless, but his eyes turned into a deep gray colour, and the bearing of his entire body looks like the words ‘I want to eat you’ is written all over his body?”
Baby Zero quickly repeated in agreement:”Yeah, that’s right!”
Chu Mu Yun:”We’re almost there.”
On the days that came, Chu Mu Yun used a hundred and one percent of his abilities to vividly showcase a little white flower who was clearly lost but yet strongly supported himself.
And to that, other than a capitalized word of ‘saluted’ from baby Zero, he had no other words.
And of course Mo Jiu Shao was able to see the pain hidden within Chu Mu Yun, but he pretended that he had not seen anything and continued to spoil him as he had before.
But his pampering at this moment left a different taste in his mouth, it tasted like honey that was laced with poison. THe sweeter it seemed, the more dangerous it was.
No matter how Chu Mu Yun tried to suppress his emotions, in front of Mo Jiu Shao, the possibility of being exposed was still constantly there.
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t understand why Mo Jiu Shao wanted to take him back, and he could not figure out at all why Mo Jiu Shao would raise the child of his enemy so carefully. What was even harder to wrap his mind around why he would treat him so well.
He treated him so well that he had fallen into his hands, so well that he couldn’t stop but indulge himself, and so well that he would fall in love with him regardless of anything. He had thought that, when he once again obtained a new family in spite of him losing his, just one strike of thunder had put him in ruins.
Everything had been false, it was all a fraud.
It was completely absurd, ridiculous, and embarrassing!
Like an idiot he had spent ten years imprinting the culprit who murdered his parents in his heart.
Like a fool he slept in the arms of the man who splattered the Chu family’s blood on their door every night.
He kept recalling, blaming, and he kept tormenting himself with it.
He wasn’t able to loosen up and he had been having a hard time sleeping for several days continuously. Under such heavy psychological torment, he had lost considerable weight in a very short amount of time.
Naturally, Mo Jiu Shao noticed the changes, and he asked with much worry:”Is something worrying you?”
Chu Mu Yun’s body stiffened up, and it was a short moment before he replied:”Nothing.”
“Xiao Yun.”Mo Jiu Shao held him and spoke in a gentle voice,”If something’s on your mind, don’t hide it for me, I’m here for you no matter what problems you’re having.”
Hearing these words, they instead made Chu Mu Yun feel as if a chill was running down his body, the type of freezing cold that spread from his heart to his bloodstream and chilled his bones, it made it seem like even his basic senses had been lost.
He wanted to yell and ask him how without a care in the world, to ask him how he was able to say this! To ask him how he was able to tell him he loved him after killing the entire Chu family! But even more, he wanted to ask why……Why he had treat him that way……
Or perhaps, he wanted to ask himself.
There were no doubts, the murderer was right in front of him, why are you not killing him?
He clearly knew that his family had died under his hands, he clearly knew that the blood of the entire Chu family was stained on his palms, why aren’t you taking your revenge!
Contradiction, struggling, countless memories intertwined with the bitter reality, causing Chu Mu Yun to fall into a great sea of pain.
The calm and peace on his face could no longer be maintained. He asked with a trembling voice that was filled with pain:”If……if one day……”
Mo Jiu Shao embraced him, and his voice was filled with worry:”Xiao Yun?”
In the end, Chu Mu Yun……in the end he had still calmed down. He clung hard to the person in front of him, and almost as if he was sick, he kissed his body with force, and with anger…… When he had started to pant, Chu Mu Yun lifted his head, and with a bloody tinge in his eyes, he asked with exceptional hoarseness in his voice:”Do it with me.”
Mo Jiu Shao was slightly startled.
Chu Mu Yun lowered his body, and took that are into his mouth.
Mo Jiu Shao knitted his brows, he wanted to pull him up.
But the youth had already started to plead:”Please, I want it, don’t worry over the curse, there’s already no way for me to cultivate anymore, what else is there to be concerned about?”
Mo Jiu Shao held his hand:”Stop this, it’ll hurt your body.”
His cultivation was already crippled, and now what the curse affected was instead his body, the ‘excruciating pain on the lower end’ was hard to accept for the current Chu Mu Yun.
But Chu Mu Yun didn’t care anymore:”I’m not afraid, I’m fine, I just need to recover for a big after that. There’s no way for me to cultivate anymore, I’ll never be able to raise my cultivation to that degree, so……wu……mm……”
Mo Jiu Shao kissed him, and gave him an unforgettable night.
It’s hard at first, but it gets easier, this sentence was very true.
When Mo Jiu Shao was gentle, his skills were really out of this world.
Chu Mu Yun gave him a very high rating:”I think his skills can be compared to mine.”
Baby Zero whose eyes had just opened was hesitating about whether he could pretend he didn’t see or hear anything, or should he give an appropriate applause.
But……how would he applaud this scene? It wasn’t written in the system manual qaq!
After this day, it was unsurprising that Chu Mu Yun had to recover for an entire month.
The cost of doing it once was to lie in bed for a month, it really was a pain in the ass.
Although he hadn’t seen Lust yet, Chu Mu Yun had already begun to miss the guy.
He didn’t leave the bed for a month, but Chu Mu Yun did not idle about, he had entered into crazy isolation mode, to the point where he wilfully moved the entire library to his bedroom.
And they were all kinds of high-end magical array books, the persevering made him want to just eat it all up and turn into a fatty.
Mo Jiu Shao pampered him a lot. Seeing that he liked these, he sent people out to look for countless array books, and piled them all up in front of him.
Chu Mu Yun didn’t beat around the bush, he just accepted all of them and continued studying all day and night.
Mo Jiu Shao had mentioned for him to rest well several times, but Chu Mu Yun’s reason was very justifiable, he gave him a stunning smile:”Father, I don’t want to be useless.”
That was all he needed to say, and Mo Jiu Shao wouldn’t have the heart to baby him.
The critical day was getting closer and closer.
Chu Mu Yun was studying arrays even more desperately.
But he did after all have the body of a normal person, just studying for a bit made him very tired.
Mo Jiu Shao returned, seeing that he had taken off his outer robe and fell asleep leaning by the bed, his thick, ink-like black hair flowing down, lining his thin cheeks with a brilliance like that of jade.
He was holding a book on his left hand with a pile of papers on his right.
Mo Jiu Shao came close and saw the complex arrays drawn on the papers.
The Lord of Pride had never used any of the formations but that didn’t mean that he didn’t understand. On the contrary, he had quite an interest in such things that were brain-turning to other people, even his research on them were quite deep and insightful. It was just that his cultivation was too high so he had no chance to use it.
He had only swept a glance of it at this moment and he was already clear on the essence of the formations.
It was a vicious array with such a heavy killing aura, and the outlines of it had already started to appear.
He really is a genius, this was the first thought that appeared in Mo Jiu Shao’s head. Because he knew, and so he knew how hard it was to do this, and so he was able to understand how high Chu Mu Yun’s comprehension of it was.
As for why he was studying such a vicious array.
The answer was self-evident.
——He wanted to kill him, he wanted to avenge the Chu family.
Mo Jiu Shao was not surprised, on the contrary, he was looking forward to it.
Honestly speaking, to study two types of high-level arrays in such a short amount of time, it would be quite difficult even for Chu Mu Yun.
Although he had been laying the groundwork and trying his hand at these since ten years ago, Chu Mu Yun never had the opportunity to experiment with them personally in order not to raise any suspicion, and so it did not make much of a difference.
He had no more qualms now so he studied desperately without a care for his health, but his time really was limited, so it was almost the night before the incident when Chu Mu Yun could be considered to have thought out a proper plan.
One array was no big deal, but the harder one was the second.
Moreover, he hadn’t tested the formations before, whether it was going to work or not will all count on his planning from the early stages now.
But fortunately, everything was ready.
In the past few days, Chu Mu Yun had been letting his dos processor operate to its limits, and what he tried to get out of it was to survey for the arrival of an uninvited guest.
Fortunately, this prideful lord would never hide his presence, so when he appeared at the Thousand Phoenix Peak, it was almost as if Zero responded at the very first second:”Wrath is here!”
Chu Mu Yun changed his clothes leisurely:”I actually don’t like wearing white that much, it’s a bit too sissy for a big man to be wearing such delicate robes.”
Zero:”……”
Chu Mu Yun:”But for a little white flower, a full body of white makes it perfect.”
Zero felt that he could continue with something:”And white matches well with red.”
Chu Mu Yun smiled profoundly:”Well, 00, you know your stuff.”
Zero:”……”He felt that what he said and what the host was trying to express was definitely not the same……He simply thought that Wrath had red hair and red eyes, so he matched well with the host, but what the host was trying to say……
Thousand Phoenix Peak, at the entrance of the magnificent palace, stood an arrogant man with his sword.
His black robes flowed up with the caressing of the blowing wind and his wanton red hair was eye-catching, a pair of eyes that were uniquely red exuded a bloodthirsty glow like that of a beast’s.
“Mo Jiu Shao, our three hundred year appointment has arrived, what other excuse do you have this time?”
