UCTOOT CH140.3: Extra

While speaking, his hand reached into the water, holding Shi Shu’s foot, squeezing gently.

“Where is it?” he asked softly.

Shi Shu felt ants crawling all over: “Heel, right here—” hurriedly reaching to point.

Sole was ticklish, his hand very hot, and steady and powerful. Being held by the leg, Shi Shu straightened immediately, sensing a very light prick, the burning sensation on the wrist even more intense.

Xie Wuchi: “Done.”

Shi Shu hurried to pour water, then fetch water for him to wash his hands: “Brother Xie, this this this, this is too much trouble for you.”

Xie Wuchi just returned a faint smile. After washing hands clean, let Shi Shu get into bed first, lying on the outside himself.

Shi Shu’s ankle lingered with the heat of his palm, dissipating for a long time. This night, Shi Shu slept restlessly, shrinking unconsciously to the inner side of the bed. Waking up the next morning, saw Xin Bin leading a horse outside the inn, just walking over.

Shi Shu asked: “Eh, your horse…”

Xie Wuchi said, “You got a blister on your foot, probably traveled too hurriedly these few days. My friend happened to send a horse. You ride for a while, rest a bit.”

Shi Shu: “This? You didn’t specially… for me?”

“Get on.” Saying this, Xie Wuchi came to support him. After Shi Shu was helped onto the horse, someone passed by, accidentally startling the horse. Shi Shu swayed, almost falling. Saw Xie Wuchi turn to look at that person, saying: “Scram.”

“…”

Shi Shu really didn’t understand: “Brother Xie, you treat me too well…”

Xie Wuchi led the horse: “Meeting on the road makes us friends, mutual care is expected.”

Shi Shu sat on the horse, Xie Wuchi led the horse for him, walking slowly on the mountain path. The more Shi Shu thought, the more uneasy he felt, and the weirder it seemed. Observing all the way, saw Xie Wuchi ignoring others, not even glancing at the weak, old, and young. Stopping at a wine shop for lunch, a boy of similar age popped out asking for help: “Big Brother, give some food! Starving to death! I was robbed by bandits on the road…”

Unexpectedly, Xie Wuchi didn’t even lift his eyes, letting Xin Bin go talk, picking a chopstick of chicken into Shi Shu’s bowl himself: “Eat more.”

“………………”

Shi Shu thought, how could this be, daring not to eat things in the bowl. Asked a moment later: “Brother Xie, you have a kind heart, but didn’t help him, any reason?”

Xie Wuchi: “I show kindness discriminately too, help those pleasing to the eye, don’t help those not.”

Shi Shu asked suspiciously: “Do I look very pleasing to your eye?”

Xie Wuchi: “Mn, felt affinity at the first sight of you.”

“…” Shi Shu felt more awkward. As the saying goes, one who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. Shi Shu vaguely felt an ominous premonition. Steaming crabs in the dish. Seeing Xie Wuchi actually peeling crab shells, handing them to Shi Shu’s bowl: “August crabs just getting fat, taste how it is.”

Shi Shu ate into the stomach uncomfortably, smiling reluctantly: “The Taste is very good.”

Xie Wuchi smiled at him too, brows peaceful.

“………………”

Oh God, definitely something fishy.

Shi Shu finished lunch, stammering. Wanted to suspect him again; was it judging a gentleman with a small man’s mind? Got on the road again with trepidation. Along the way, fanned when hot, handed water when thirsty. An originally very miserable journey was forced into a leisurely tour.

Arriving at an inn again, Shi Shu breathed a sigh of relief. The inn was crowded. Shi Shu was about to ask for a room, Xie Wuchi said: “Adapted to sleeping with you these two days, saving money too, you and I share a room again?”

Shi Shu: “This—”

If it were someone else, Shi Shu would naturally sleep! But now, had more suspicion towards him. But Shi Shu naturally didn’t know how to refuse, plus he received his care on the road. Failing to refuse, had to stay in the same room with Xie Wuchi again.

Shi Shu sat by the table, thinking over and over. Xie Wuchi looked composed, taking a change of clothes to the bathhouse first. Shi Shu slowly packed luggage, read for a while, then took clothes to the bathhouse too.

Bypassing the narrow path, this shower room was pitch black, with only the sound of hot water. Shi Shu walked forward, hearing the splashing water sound, a lonely moon. Saw a familiar figure, Xie Wuchi with a white towel blocking waist, bathing. Broad shoulders, long legs, dark skin covered with luster, body more majestic and tall than Shi Shu’s classmates, muscles tight.

Shi Shu paused, retreating backward, unexpectedly knocking over a wooden rack, Crash.

Xie Wuchi saw him: “You came too?”

Shi Shu walked up, acting as if nothing had happened, and said, “Right, right, right, hot weather full of sweat, I take a shower too.”

Shi Shu took off his clothes, scooping warm water from the bucket. Bathing, he didn’t think much initially, but behind his back, Xie Wuchi’s gaze was on him, seeming to be looking at him.

“…”

Shi Shu, holding the towel, looked back at him. Shi Shu studied at the academy, eating and sleeping with classmates daily, and didn’t think much originally, so he stripped clean all over. The youth’s body was healthy and slender.

“What? You washing?”

Xie Wuchi’s gaze lowered, seeming to inadvertently glance between his legs, “I was somewhat unaccustomed, alone at home, never bathed with anyone.”

Shi Shu: “Hahaha, this is very normal, collective life is like this.”

Xie Wuchi hummed, untied the white cloth at the waist. Shi Shu didn’t have time to turn his eyes, quickly saw the middle, and the branded black tattoo.

“…” Shi Shu was a bit embarrassed, but turned his face, planning to pretend to see nothing like with all his classmates.

By ear, Xie Wuchi asked: “Why are you curious why I have a tattoo?”

Shi Shu sweated on forehead, weird, but couldn’t say why: “Why?”

Xie Wuchi changed the topic instead: “Did you see?”

Shi Shu deliberately said casually, “Saw, saw it! So?”

“Good looking?”

His voice was very low, a mature male voice. Shi Shu swallowed: “This, uh…”

Xie Wuchi smiled gently, voice like a ghost. Shi Shu’s back went cold, brain slammed, seemed to understand what was wrong! He he he—he spoke without limits! Could he be a cut sleeve (gay)?!

Clang like a thunderclap, Shi Shu finally understood cause and effect. He treated him well, taking care in every way.

Shi Shu’s fair face turned, eyes wide: “Brother Xie, may I presume to ask a question?”

Xie Wuchi: “Speak.”

Shi Shu: “Do you like men?”

“…”

Silence. Immediately, Xie Wuchi nodded to him: “Mn, yes.”

“…” Shi Shu’s mind was in turmoil but surface calm, quickly recalling gay men he knew, looking at Xie Wuchi’s face again. Such a noble and upright face, actually keen on playing with men?

Shi Shu said no more, sped up bathing frequency, then put on clothes and returned to the room with him as if nothing had happened. But at this moment, no matter watching him drinking tea, water, eating, or washing at the table, Shi Shu felt an unfathomable flavor.

“Brother Shi, rest early, still have to travel tomorrow.” Xie Wuchi finished speaking, sat on the bed.

Slap! The book Shi Shu was studying diligently fell on his face. Hurriedly packed up, sensing the figure lying down beside him. What cut sleeve… likes men… taking extra care of himself, could he have taken a fancy to me? Shi Shu dared not sleep a wink until detecting even breathing beside him, and only then re-entered dreamland.

Silence in the dark night. After people fell asleep, the room was exceptionally lively. Footsteps appeared on the stairs, pause by pause.

Shi Shu was asleep, restless, eyelids blinking rapidly.

Bursts of green smoke before the eyes, a pitch-black courtyard.

Curtains fluttering, light gauze dancing. Shi Shu walking amidst gauze curtains. Before his eyes, a bloody wind rose suddenly.

Shi Shu didn’t know why he was here, nor where this was. Suddenly heard a miserable scream.

“…I want to reincarnate!”

That malicious ghost from the day before yesterday, disheveled hair, green face fangs, suddenly rushed out from the gauze curtains.

What thing? Suddenly magnified, horrified face. Shi Shu screamed and fell to the ground. Before fainting, only saw a young man in black pacing out from behind the bed curtains, precisely Xie Wuchi. Gloomy handsome face instantly sprouted fangs, flesh tearing. Originally, fine face instantly bloomed into a long-mouthed black fox beast form. Whole body black fur, pitch-black shiny, nine tails swinging in the strong wind.

Black fox waved its arm, tearing open this wild ghost’s chest, grabbing a bloody, still-beating human heart, clutched in hand with cold nails, crushed into a red inner pellet (neidan), sending the bloody bead into the mouth.

Fangs are dense, blood filling mouth. Inner pellet melted in his lips and teeth like a blood bag.

“Ah…” Scene terrifying. Shi Shu gasped sharply, heart constricting, and fainted completely.

Consciousness is very blurry.

Shi Shu seemed to fall into boundless silence, consciousness empty. Gradually, felt a trace of coolness invading his oral cavity, a scorching full round bead.

Bead hot, sandwiched between lips and teeth, turning over repeatedly. Shi Shu’s lips opened, a bead pushed into his mouth, and he detected a tongue tip gently licking the bead in his mouth.

“Wu…”

Saliva secreted, bead delivered repeatedly, scalding, but not allowed to swallow, nor spit out. Just about to turn head, chin pinched, face corrected: “Not allowed to spit.”

Shi Shu held the bead, not knowing what it was, but felt lips covered, kissing turning, bead sliding stickily between two tongues, until mucus overflowed from the lip seam.

“Ah… ha…”

Shi Shu opened eyes blurrily. Before his eyes, pitch-black brows, lips covered, actually still, this person was named Xie Wuchi. At this moment, lying on him, pinching his chin, and deep kissing.

Shi Shu panicked inside, holding a bead in his mouth, unable to speak complete words: “You, who are you…”

The bead was really too hot, like the body temperature of fingertips he touched, and constantly emitting heat. Shi Shu just wanted to speak, but suddenly remembered just now, seeing Xie Wuchi turn into a nine-tailed black fox just now. Scared, wanting to shout again, but nose touched by nose tip.

Shi Shu: “Let, let go…”

Xie Wuchi not only didn’t let go, but gently stroked his earlobe instead, licking his mouth bit by bit, repeatedly lightly licking that wet bead.

The bead was rolling around. Shi Shu was deeply kissed by him, eyes wide, detecting a warm current dispersing in limbs and bones, gradually filling the soft, powerless body with strength.

Shi Shu seemed to understand; he was saving him.

Shi Shu asked: “Who are you? You are a fox demon?”

Xie Wuchi: “I am your little fox.”

Shi Shu panted, hiding back from kisses, detecting Xie Wuchi’s disordered breathing. His brows seemed emotionally unsettled, carrying some disordered loss of control feeling.

Little fox…? Shi Shu seemed to feel something, but couldn’t think: “This, what is this?”

“Inner pellet… mine.”

Voice by his ear, “You were scared away three souls and seven spirits by the malicious ghost. I’m using an inner pellet to help you gather back.”

Shi Shu kissed him hazy by him hazy: “Be good, don’t move.”

…Really?

Are you the little fox I raised? Shi Shu seemed to remember: “You, you are the little black fox I picked up?”

“Mn.”

Shi Shu hugged him in his arms, deep kissed, speaking stumblingly too: “Why believe you?”

Just finished speaking, Shi Shu’s hand was held, guided to a warmer place: “Felt it? That tattoo, when I was a fox, you clearly looked carefully.”

Shi Shu’s hand moved, but touched something else, hearing a man’s suppressed light pant: “You mean this?”

Shi Shu seemed truly scared out of his wits; his brain was always blurry, thinking became less sharp. Being hugged and kissed by Xie Wuchi, a hand tore open his lapel, revealing his strong shoulder, neck, and chest. Perhaps due to the warm inner pellet in the mouth, Shi Shu, approaching him felt warm instead, dispelling the chill inside limbs and bones.

Shi Shu hugged him in his arms, lips and tongue licking each other, mouth producing saliva, body and legs unconsciously entangled together.

“Ah…”

Xie Wuchi was very hot. Shi Shu, hugging him, gradually started to regain consciousness.

—But the scene was no longer the courtyard in the dream, but on the bed inside the curtains in the inn. Under sea-blue bed curtains, Shi Shu originally slept in the corner of the bed.

And at this moment, sky fish-belly white, sounds of people walking in the inn. Shi Shu extended arms, hugging the person beside’s neck, leaning close to his lips in a dream, a hand tearing Xie Wuchi’s clothes.

Xie Wuchi had no blood at the corner of his mouth, nor an inner pellet. Undergarment pulled open by him, hand exploring back shoulder, neck hugging, bare chest leaning together with him.

Scholar known for two to three days kissing his lips, not to mention, a person also delivering to his arms, putting his calf across his waist and abdomen. Xie Wuchi kissed, turning his face away, a hand pinching his chin, looking at his face still in a dream.

He reached out again, holding his ankle, pulling the person into his arms. Both disheveled clothes, embracing on the bed, hugging the waist, rubbing the back.

Shi Shu pried open his teeth by kissing him, confused and passionately, hair pressed by a large hand with popping veins, wildly licking soft flesh in his mouth. Inside the curtains lively fragrance continuously emits slight movements, “Wu…” Shi Shu was hot all over, hugged in an embrace with solid bones and muscles.

Don’t know how long kissed, how long rubbed on Xie Wuchi’s abs, Shi Shu finally woke from deep sleep, realizing the stinging pain on her lips, and opened her eyes abruptly!

“Ah…?”

Shi Shu’s lips are red, hugging a physically strong man, maintaining an ambiguous posture; obviously, lust is hard to curb. Shi Shu’s brain was like being hit by a stick, retreated backward abruptly, grabbed bedding, panic-stricken.

“Ah? I… we?”

“You, you! Brother Xie, you! What did we do?”

“Weren’t we sleeping? Ah? I, I exactly—why are we hugging together? Where is my little fox?”

Xie Wuchi’s clothes are messy, brows calm. Upper body dark outer robe obviously pulled open, chest remaining bloody marks scratched by nails. He raised his brow tip, arranging clothes: “What’s wrong?”

Images of last night flashed suddenly in Shi Shu’s mind. Smoking pavilions, attacking malicious ghosts, bloody flesh. Before fainting from fear, saw Xie Wuchi transform into a black fox demon, tearing open the ghost corpse chest, taking out the heart-crushing heart, then swallowing the bloody red bead into the mouth…

And… red gauze fluttering, bead scalding, sticky feeling sliding gently on tongue, and being repeatedly licked on lips, heat soaking through limbs and bones.

That low husky voice.

“I am your little fox.”

“Inner pellet… mine.”

“…”

Shi Shu’s eyes were wide, his head full of cold sweat, looking at the person in front. Xie Wuchi put on an expensive, complicated outer coat, voice slow: “I was sleeping at night, you suddenly wrapped up to kiss me, kissed for a long time, also asked me to hug you, saying my body was severely cold, wanting my body temperature and body. I thought since the first meeting a few days ago, you had longed for me, so I joined you in clouds and rain, who knew you suddenly woke up, pushing me away.”

Shi Shu’s lips were dry. Looked around, but where was half a black fox shadow?

—Only this inn bed, hanging bed curtains, and a stranger, Gentleman Xie, met on the road traveling together.

Shi Shu: “Could it be, I dreamed, took dream things for real, uncontrollably acted on you?”

Xie Wuchi slept beside, really hugged him up, and kissed him.

Shi Shu vision black: “How could this be?”

Shi Shu, you simply… disgrace to scholars!

Xie Wuchi’s lip corner lifted, actually not caring much, said, “Get up, eat breakfast, still a long road to travel today.”

Shi Shu jumped off the bed with a baffled face, hurriedly fetching water to wash his face, still hesitating in the courtyard: “Was I scared dizzy by a ghost? How could I do such a thing?”

Little black fox, that little fox.

Why dreaming of him recently?

Does he miss me too?

Behind him, Xie Wuchi leaned against the door. Under a robe embroidered with patterns, the robe flutterwith ed, pitch-black shiny fa ur, a fluffy, big tail swung gracefully like a peacock opening a screen, flowing in the air.

Shi Shu covered his face with a towel, wiping his eyes. Inn behind instantly transformed into a ghost building, white skeletons, avoiding Xie Wuchi, ghost shadows lingering.

“So cold water…” Shi Shu took off the towel. The ghost building transformed back into an inn, people coming and going, carrying hot soup rice. Tail disappeared too.

Shi Shu wrung towel, hung it on the book basket. Seeing him standing at the door again, covered forehead: “Ai… sin, sin.”

Sunlight shone in the courtyard. Ate breakfast together. Shi Shu carried a book basket, stepped on the road to the prefecture capital again: “Travel, travel. Exam, exam.”

Xie Wuchi: “Last night’s matter, not mentioning?”

Shi Shu’s handsome face showed shame: “I don’t know how to mention either. Arriving at Huaixian this afternoon, we part ways.”

Xie Wuchi looked at the main road, changing the topic: “You said that little fox, what happened?”

Shi Shu: “A little black fox I picked up and adopted in childhood. Raised until spring, after the wound healed, it left.”

Xie Wuchi: “Did he leave by himself?”

Shi Shu: “No, people in the village wrongly accused it of biting chickens, and angered it away. I looked in the mountains for days, didn’t see it.”

Xie Wuchi: “Because you were a child, you couldn’t make decisions, and staying by your side only added trouble. You grew up, he came back.”

Shi Shu: “I’ve grown up now.”

“You walked hundreds of miles to take the exam. Indeed, grown up. Just many spirits on the road, afraid you die just after growing up.”

Shi Shu always felt his words were weird. Suddenly remembered: “Arriving at Huaixian this afternoon, are we parting ways?”

Xie Wuchi: “I just changed route, preparing to go to the prefecture capital too.”

Shi Shu: “Eh?”

…

Three days later, deep night of a desolate temple, a beam of lamp fire.

Complete silence, doors closed tight.

Pure black curling sharp nails with claws, placed on pink lips, prying open. Blade-sharp fingertips inserted into the mouth, pulling out a strand of mucus. Majestic, huge, fur shiny pure black nine-tailed fox tail swaying in the wind, coiled on the bed. Fangs stained with blood, ferocious shadow falling on the ground lit by moonlight.

That fingertip was approaching the youth’s mouth stroke by stroke.

Shi Shu’s eyes were wide, staring close to the bed rail, panic-stricken: “Xie, Brother Xie, you are my little black fox?”

“Correct.”

Sharp nails gently rubbed his lips, tongue probing out from his mouth, bright red like blood: “Correct, I am your little fox, forgot?”

Shi Shu’s vision was black, pressed onto the bed by iron claws. Next second, ears red: “You let go… ah…”

Shadow inside curtains, in and out non-stop.
