FIMA Ch79: The End

“A Soul Stabilizing Talisman, you actually placed a Soul Stabilizing Talisman!” The Han family ancestor lay on the ground, looking dispirited, but his hateful gaze remained fixed on Han Mingye.

Han Mingye, dragging his weak body, desperately scooted away from the ancestor.

After panting heavily for a while, he laughed heartily, “Although I don’t know when or who placed the Soul Stabilizing Talisman, there’s no doubt you failed. Do you still have the energy for another attempt at possession?”

He never imagined the ancestor would try to possess him.

“If not you, then who? Who did it?” The Han family ancestor shouted ferociously, “Who is trying to harm me?”

“Well, perhaps it was me.”

A cold, indifferent male voice drifted in from the cave entrance.

Both the Han family ancestor and Han Mingye looked up towards the voice, their eyes widening at the familiar tall figure, “How could it be you?”

Gu Siyuan nodded slightly, looking at the two in their miserable state, and nodded in satisfaction, “It seems it was indeed used, not bad.”

The Han family ancestor’s eyes widened in anger, “You are truly my destined nemesis!”

“Ugh!” Upon hearing this, Xie Xuanxing couldn’t help but retch.

At this tense moment, his sudden retching drew everyone’s attention.

Luo Chuan, amused, teased, “What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Are you pregnant? How many months?”

“…” Xie Xuanxing.

Maybe Gu Siyuan was right; Luo Chuan is indeed a big weirdo. He’s a man; how could he be pregnant?

Xie Xuanxing glared at him and said, “Can’t you tell? I’m disgusted. An old man over a hundred with a face full of wrinkles talking about being destined with a handsome young man in his twenties. Isn’t that disgusting?”

Luo Chuan chuckled.

Gu Siyuan pinched his assistant’s pouting cheek; this was him being spoiled again.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded, “Indeed disgusting. Hmm, I’m only destined with you.”

“…” Xie Xuanxing’s face turned bright red.

… How can he say such things so casually, making me embarrassed?

But he could say more in the future.

Gu Siyuan had no idea about his assistant’s wild thoughts.

At this moment, he looked back at the Han family ancestor and said, “Stop saying disgusting things. If there really is destiny, it is destined that you will fail today, destined to end up with nothing.”

“No, no…” The Han family ancestor shook his head stubbornly, resisting, “I have spiritual roots. I am heaven’s favored one. I’ve cultivated for half my life. How can I fail? How can I die? It’s you, it’s all because of you. Why do you have to go against me?”

Gu Siyuan sneered, “The old who don’t die are thieves. It’s time for you to go; I’m doing a good deed.”

Xie Xuanxing also said, “Whether you leave or not now is no longer up to you.”

The Han family ancestor felt his vitality slowly dissipating, unable to return, no longer able to fight back.

Half a lifetime of schemes ended today.

He even wanted to cry loudly, but in extreme pain, not a single tear fell.

After a long while, he sighed deeply, resigned, and looked at Gu Siyuan weakly, “But how did you know about my possession plan? No one knew.”

He hadn’t told anyone.

Not the personal boy servant, not the Han family’s younger generation, no one knew.

Gu Siyuan sneered, “Just a guess. Cultivation is highly age-sensitive. Even with the revival of spiritual energy, at your hundred years of age, it’s impossible to successfully establish a foundation. What were you so eager for? Besides, the possession array you carefully prepared in the lake at Hongtan Villa, what else could it be?”

“Turns out, you recognized the array in the lake.” The Han family ancestor sighed deeply, “Unfortunately, the array at Hongtan Villa was destroyed by you, and after making several moves today, my body couldn’t hold up anymore. So, I had to hurriedly prepare for the possession. To weaken that brat’s resistance in his spirit, I even made him take a Spirit Breaking Pill, crippling all his spiritual power and consciousness. But in the end, it was all ruined by your Soul Stabilizing Talisman.”

As he spoke, he suddenly burst into laughter, the sound tinged with a few strands of sobbing.

Laughing and crying for a moment, the Han family ancestor looked at Gu Siyuan again, still puzzled, “Then how did you know I would possess Mingye and not Xie Yuchen? I clearly took them both.”

Gu Siyuan sneered, “Because of Xie Yuchen’s past experiences, it’s clear that he is the protagonist of this world, the child of destiny. How could you possibly possess him? So, you would only think of sharing that destiny, and what better identity than a Daoist partner? You cultivators, for the sake of immortality, would do anything, even kill your wives and children. Possessing a grandchild is nothing.”

Hearing this, both the Han family ancestor and Han Mingye’s faces turned pale.

Han Mingye was filled with lingering fear from escaping death.

The Han family ancestor, however, was full of helpless hatred, lamenting, “Everything falls within your control.”

Gu Siyuan showed no expression at this praise, only said indifferently, “Enough talk. Go down the mountain and turn yourself in.”

The Han family ancestor shook his head and suddenly raised his hand, lightly pointing at his own heart. A thin stream of spiritual energy passed through, and his whole body slumped, falling to the ground with no more breath.

Gu Siyuan and the others raised their eyebrows but had no time to feel emotional.

Just then, they suddenly heard the sound of vomiting again.

It was Xie Yuchen, who they had captured and brought in.

Xie Yuchen looked at the Han family ancestor lying on the ground, covered in dust and dirty blood, his body twisted and hunched, hair gray and sparse, looking extremely disgusting and ugly.

Thinking about if Han Mingye had been successfully possessed today, he might have been in a relationship with this old man in the future, he couldn’t help but change his expression.

Gu Siyuan turned to look at Xie Yuchen, slowly narrowing his eyes.

He suddenly thought of something interesting. Everything that happened today was brought forward by more than half a year compared to the original story.

So, Gu Siyuan suspected that in the original story, the later Han Mingye might have already been possessed.

Also, all the supernatural cases Han Mingye and Xie Yuchen would have experienced together half a year later, as well as all the gains from them, were actually things planned years in advance.

And this was likely all part of the Han family ancestor’s plan, leaving resources for his possessed self while deepening the bond with Xie Yuchen to better share the destiny.

If not for his intervention, the Han family ancestor’s plans might have proceeded as usual.

At that time, ha…

Gu Siyuan couldn’t help but curl his lips.

At this moment, a sharp but clear pain came from the back of his hand.

Gu Siyuan looked down.

Xie Xuanxing was glaring at him viciously.

Gu Siyuan frowned, puzzled, “What’s wrong?”

“…” Xie Xuanxing.

Just now, you were saying we were destined, and now you have this impatient tone?

Oh, I’m the one who delayed you from staring and smiling at someone else, especially at Xie Yuchen.

Xie Xuanxing was really angry.

He turned around directly, deciding not to talk to this guy at least for today.

Gu Siyuan narrowed his eyes.

The next moment, he reached out his broad hand, pinched the small, fair chin of his assistant, and forced Xie Xuanxing to turn and look at him.

His gaze was cold, and his voice even colder, “Whatever it is, say it now. No cold wars with me.”

Xie Xuanxing puffed out his cheeks, glaring with watery eyes, feeling wronged.

Why so fierce?

Do you think I would be scared?

But…

Whenever Gu Siyuan got serious, he never dared to act spoiled anymore.

Xie Xuanxing simply lowered his eyes, his neat and pretty eyelashes casting a small, cute, and pitiful shadow on his thin, moist eyes.

Gu Siyuan looked at his assistant’s fair, delicate face, at his aggrieved, puffed-up cheeks, his heart softened a bit, and he reached out with his other hand to pull him into his arms, holding him tightly, and said in a low voice, “Speak.”

Leaning against the familiar warm chest, feeling the large hand gently stroking his back, listening to the deep, magnetic voice in his ear, Xie Xuanxing’s grievance gradually lessened.

He looked up, glaring at Gu Siyuan, and murmured softly, “You were staring at him… and you smiled at him!”

When he said the word “smiled,” his voice even broke.

“Mm?” Gu Siyuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his face full of confusion, “Staring at who, smiling at who?”

Really?

Xie Xuanxing also frowned slightly, “Xie Yuchen, what were you thinking when you were looking at him just now?”

Gu Siyuan casually replied, “I was thinking if the old man had succeeded in possessing him, how would the two of them get along.”

Speaking of this, he remembered, he seemed to have indeed smiled.

But that was a mocking smile.

Xie Xuanxing immediately realized he had misunderstood.

Suddenly, feeling extremely embarrassed, his cheeks turned a faint pink, and he clung tightly to Gu Siyuan’s chest, unwilling to come out.

Such a cute little assistant.

Of course, he could only choose to forgive him.

Gu Siyuan lowered his head and lightly kissed the top of his assistant’s black hair, saying in a deep voice, “Why are you so spoiled? It’s time to go down the mountain. Do you want me to carry you down?”

“Yes!” Xie Xuanxing immediately poked his head out and answered loudly.

“…” Xie Yuchen.

“You two finished your little act, and it turns out he’s just a tool.”

Luo Chuan’s bright gaze looked at Gu Beilin, feigning surprise, “Second brother, how romantic!”

“…” Gu Beilin.

What’s romantic about it?

Isn’t it just carrying someone? That’s how they got up here.

But he still said honestly, “I’ll carry you down.”

“Okay.” Luo Chuan’s smile grew even brighter.

“…” Han Mingye and Xie Yuchen.

You two brothers just leave like that, aren’t you afraid we’ll run away later?

“You two good-for-nothings are still standing here? Do you want my big brother to kick you down the mountain?” At this moment, Gu Siyuan, carrying someone on his back, glanced back at them. His expression was as cold as could be, and his tone even colder, nothing like the half-tenderness he had just shown Xie Xuanxing.

“…” Han Mingye and Xie Yuchen.

Are you a master of changing faces?

“…” Gu Beilin.

Annoying little brother, do you think I’m your henchman?

Why do I have to kick them? Don’t you have legs yourself?

But the next moment, the long knife in his hand flashed with a cold light, bringing a sharp chill, as if a cold blade was finely cutting their throats.

Han Mingye and Xie Yuchen’s expressions changed drastically, and they immediately obediently walked out of the cave, following behind Gu Siyuan.

Han Mingye, having taken the Spirit Breaking Pill from the Han family ancestor, had all his spiritual power dispersed and his meridians damaged, now no different from a cripple. Xie Yuchen, who had never been good at fighting, though quite adept with talismans, had no place to argue in front of a talisman expert like Gu Siyuan.

Moreover, there was also Beidao Tianlang, the god of slaughter.

…

By the time they returned to Fengdu County, things were mostly settled.

The family cultivators in the city had all been subdued under the firepower of the special police’s spiritual weapons and the special management bureau cultivators’ mystical arts.

Gu Siyuan handed over the last two, Han Mingye and Xie Yuchen, to He Pan, reminding him that the Han family ancestor’s body was on the mountain and to send someone to collect it and quickly cremate it for a proper send-off.

That old rascal was a troublemaker. If he, out of jealousy and resentment, lingered as a ghost cultivator, things would get interesting.

He Pan agreed repeatedly and immediately had someone take care of it.

Gu Siyuan nodded and continued to carry Xie Xuanxing toward their hotel.

Xie Yuchen watched their departing backs, his eyes heavy.

He once thought, back in S City, that he had permanently surpassed Xie Xuanxing. Even after encountering him at Luojun Mountain, he was shocked but didn’t take Xie Xuanxing seriously.

But later, time and again, all the schemes against Xie Xuanxing and the Special Management Bureau failed, and Xie Xuanxing became a shadow over his heart.

Yesterday, he thought it would be the last time, that he and Xie Xuanxing would no longer be in the same world.

But who knew, it was all just a dream.

He had become a prisoner with no future, while Xie Xuanxing enjoyed both love and career, infinitely glorious.

And the key to all this was Gu Siyuan.

Xie Yuchen slowly turned his head to look at Han Mingye, now a cripple. If he had met Gu Siyuan back then…

Behind them, Xie Yuchen’s thoughts were unknown to Gu Siyuan and Xie Xuanxing, nor did it concern them.

However, as they reached the hotel entrance, Xie Xuanxing suddenly remembered something and made a fuss, insisting on getting down and walking himself. He even suggested carrying Gu Siyuan upstairs.

Gu Siyuan, with a cold face, pointed to the nearby elevator, “Why should you carry me up the stairs? Can’t I take the elevator? It’s faster.”

“…” Xie Xuanxing glared.

The point isn’t taking the elevator.

It’s about proving his boyfriend strength, okay?

He looked at Gu Siyuan with puppy eyes.

Gu Siyuan mercilessly ignored him and walked directly to the elevator, pressing the button.

Someone happened to be coming down, and the door opened in a few seconds.

Gu Siyuan, with his long legs, walked in, one hand in his pocket, lazily looking at the still-struggling Xie Xuanxing, and said indifferently, “If you want to take the stairs, I’ll close the door now.”

“…” Xie Xuanxing.

Xie Xuanxing quickly ran over, squeezed into the elevator, and stood against the wall in a huff.

Gu Siyuan glanced at him, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.

The door closed, and the elevator started moving.

The layout of the county hotel was simple, with only seven floors. Their room was on the third floor, and within moments, the bell rang, signaling their arrival. They stepped out again.

As soon as they exited the elevator, Xie Xuanxing changed his previously sulky attitude, grabbed Gu Siyuan’s sleeve, and with a pleading face, said, “You worked hard just now. Can I carry you to the room?”

Gu Siyuan: “…”

What’s wrong with this little assistant? Just a moment ago, he was trying to get carried, and now he’s acting up to carry him.

He looked at him deeply and pointed to the sign on the wall ahead, “Do you know how to read that?”

Xie Xuanxing puffed his cheeks, “312.”

Gu Siyuan took out the room card from his pocket, walked about seven or eight steps, then swiped the card at the door lock. “Beep beep…” The door opened.

“Come in,” he said coldly.

Xie Xuanxing glared at him, unwillingly dragging his feet into the room.

Then, with a jump, he flopped onto the bed.

Humph, he lost a chance to prove he was a top.

Shouldn’t have let Gu Siyuan carry him down the mountain.

No top would let their partner carry them around. Sigh, a mistake.

…But…

Xie Xuanxing secretly fiddled with his fingers: Being carried by Gu Siyuan made him really happy!

Even if time rewound, he definitely wouldn’t refuse.

Thinking this, Xie Xuanxing suddenly jumped up from the bed again.

His gaze was bright and resolute. There’s no need to regret the past; grasping the present is what truly matters.

He turned directly and looked at Gu Siyuan, loudly saying, “You go take a shower first!”

Gu Siyuan was drinking a bottle of mineral water. His Adam’s apple moved slightly as he swallowed, then he glanced sideways at him.

“…” Xie Xuanxing secretly clutched his heart.

His Adam’s apple is so sexy.

Even drinking water is so captivating.

It’s said that people with prominent Adam’s apples are particularly strong in certain aspects. Considering Gu Siyuan’s past performance, it seems quite true.

However, from now on, this incredibly powerful person would be lying beneath him. Just thinking about it felt a bit wasteful, yet strangely exhilarating.

Xie Xuanxing patted his chest, suddenly filled with boundless courage.

Gu Siyuan looked at him coldly and motioned with his hand, saying in a deep voice, “Come here.”

“Oh.” Xie Xuanxing responded and habitually ran over.

When he rushed into Gu Siyuan’s arms, he suddenly realized something was off. How could a top act so recklessly?

He quickly stood up straight, cleared his throat, and deliberately lowered his voice, saying, “What?”

Gu Siyuan touched his face, squinting and softly saying, “I suddenly remembered what we talked about before. Let’s just shower together this time.”

“…” Xie Xuanxing’s eyes widened.

So thrilling—his first time on top, and it would be in the bathroom?

He bit his lip, hesitating, “Is that really okay…”

He didn’t finish the sentence, but he was worried Gu Siyuan might get hurt.

Gu Siyuan raised an eyebrow and said, “Why not? If you’re not satisfied this time, we can buy a villa with a super large bathtub when we return to the capital. There should be enough space.”

“Okay.” Xie Xuanxing nodded in a daze.

All he could think about was how to work harder and make Gu Siyuan feel comfortable without noticing anything odd about the last sentence.

Warm water sprayed from the wide showerhead, and in the late autumn, the bathroom quickly filled with white mist under the rising steam.

Xie Xuanxing’s little head was almost spinning.

At that moment, cold fingertips grazed his smooth, fair skin from under his clothes.

He suddenly opened his eyes, remembering he had a mission in the bathroom.

Now, there was no need for Gu Siyuan to make a move. He quickly tore off his own clothes and eagerly reached to undress Gu Siyuan, “Let me help you.”

“…” Gu Siyuan.

Something seems off.

Although his little assistant could indeed be straightforward and passionate at times, he’d usually be shy in such moments. Why was today…

However, no matter what, he couldn’t get away with it.

Gu Siyuan’s expression remained unchanged, letting him proceed, considering it a prelude to pleasure.

After a while, they were both standing na-ked, facing each other.

Xie Xuanxing’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Gu Siyuan, reminding him, “It’s happening.”

“…” Gu Siyuan.

His little assistant was adorably over the top today.

No more waiting.

He reached out and pulled him into his arms, kissing him passionately while his hands started to wander.

“Mm…” Xie Xuanxing couldn’t help but moan softly, his entire body going limp.

Until his head was dizzy and even his toes curled in pleasure, he suddenly remembered, no, today wasn’t he supposed to be on top?

An hour later, Gu Siyuan carried the completely flushed and limp Xie Xuanxing out.

He first fed him a few sips of water, then covered him with a blanket and laid down beside him.

As soon as he hugged him, he looked down and met a pair of fiery eyes.

Gu Siyuan kissed him soothingly and asked, “What’s wrong? Acting spoiled again?”

Xie Xuanxing, with a hoarse voice and angry tone, said, “We agreed, didn’t we? Why did you go back on your word?”

Gu Siyuan frowned in confusion, then chuckled softly, “Yeah, we agreed to try it in the water. Are you dissatisfied? Your reaction just now didn’t seem like it…”

“…” Xie Xuanxing.

When did they agree on that?

He puffed his cheeks and protested, “No, I mean you agreed I would be on top!”

Gu Siyuan’s eyes brightened. He touched his waist and said in a deep voice, “So that’s what you meant. I didn’t forget. Do you still have the strength? Then let’s go again.”

“Really? Let me be on top?” Xie Xuanxing’s eyes widened in surprise.

Having just cried, his eyes were bright and his eye corners were red, looking even more captivating.

Gu Siyuan was eager to see them filled with tears again, so he nodded immediately, “Of course, you’ll be on top.”

Then, with a slight force in his arms, Xie Xuanxing found himself sitting on Gu Siyuan’s waist.

Next, those nimble fingers started to touch familiar places on Xie Xuanxing’s body.

Xie Xuanxing immediately realized something was wrong, but it was too late for regrets.

In the end, Xie Xuanxing fell asleep, crying. Even in his dreams, he kept repeating, “Ow, you big liar, I’ll bite you.”

On the plane back to the capital, Xie Xuanxing was like a cripple, carried up and down the entire time by Gu Siyuan.

This time, almost all the metaphysical families had participated in the chaos and received the punishment they deserved.

The masterminds had their spiritual power stripped and were imprisoned for life.

Accomplices, after serving a certain period of imprisonment, would also be fitted with electronic monitoring devices and be under state supervision for life.

The metaphysical forces organized by families were nearly eradicated.

From now on, the Special Management Bureau also introduced new management regulations.

The metaphysical inheritance of the chaotic families was taken over by the state, and all cultivators joining the Special Management Bureau could exchange merits for learning opportunities.

As for the rogue cultivators, they now had to register and obtain a metaphysical certification through the Special Management Bureau’s tests. Otherwise, they were forbidden from using spiritual and metaphysical methods freely.

All metaphysical cultivators must be under state surveillance, and no violations of the law with force would be tolerated again.

The world was once again peaceful.

However, Xie Xuanxing’s recent days were far from tranquil.

Every time he saw Gu Siyuan, he couldn’t help but support his waist.

One day, when he returned home after work, he found several large packages in the living room.

Xie Xuanxing, thinking that his birthday was approaching, assumed these were gifts for him and couldn’t help but excitedly open them.

That night, he transformed into a stage actor, playing a little lion and a little fox, until he couldn’t even cry anymore.

He took a hard bite on Gu Siyuan: “Where did you get so many tricks?”

Gu Siyuan replied calmly, “I specifically asked on the forums.”

“Hmm?” Xie Xuanxing was shocked.

Gu Siyuan, without changing his expression, said, “After you mentioned the water and the navel orange, I realized you have high standards in this area. I can’t disappoint you.”

“…” Xie Xuanxing.

Can you clarify whose standards exactly?

But, he could never refuse Gu Siyuan’s decisions.

So, Xie Xuanxing decided to share this good news with Gu Beilin and Luo Chuan—sharing the fortune and enduring the hardship together.

Yes, that’s it.
