Sweet and harmless Taoyan (or so he pretends) X Chen Xiao, whose soul leaves his body (fiercely protective)
[Wicked Disciple X Holy Venerable]
*The Holy Venerable thinks he has taken in an obedient final disciple.
Little does he know that the wicked disciple is wondering how to make him obey.
Taoyan is best at acting well-behaved and pretending he doesn’t understand a thing.
Everything he does understand, he keeps tucked away in his midnight dreams.
A pair of snow-white boot tips stopped three inches in front of him.
“Look up.”
He looked up.
The Holy Venerable said, “There can be no crossing the line between master and disciple.”
Taoyan nodded. “Yes.”
He pinned Chen Xiao against the cliff, standing close. “Your fingertips are as lovely as flowers, Master. So beautiful and fragrant. Your skin is soft and smooth, too. I want to touch it and bite it…”
“D-do you know what you’re doing?”
“I do.”
“This is a disciple defying his master.”
“Mm.”
“Betraying your master will bring Heaven’s wrath.”
Taoyan smiled and leaned close to his ear. “Then bring it down on me!”
A night of reckless passion.
A beautiful dream.
*Three hundred years later, the Heavenly Sage Palace had a disciple who could shake heaven and earth, making trouble every day.
Another thousand years later, the peach tree the Holy Venerable had raised died…
Do you regret it?
Only as he drew his last breath did Taoyan dare admit it.
He regretted it. He regretted it so much. He regretted not being wilder, not being more passionate, not clutching Chen Xiao firmly in his grasp.
Even if he had crushed him…
Even if he had drawn blood…
That would still have been better than standing here empty-handed.
Now that he was dying, he could not pass on with a smile.
