You're Stuck with Me!
”I' put the glass of water on the floor and looked at Su Chan worriedly
”Are you sure? CozFifteen o, you really looked like you were about to die” Li Yundong's heart clenched at theup and down”HeheheSee! I' pulled her into a crushi+ng hug”I'm so sorrySu ChanThis is all my faultGod damn itI should've come home as soon as I left the companyI should've been here! I shouldn'tI shouldn't have let you go through all that alone”
A ht strokes of Su Chan's finger on his scalpHe closed his eyes to savor the feelingHe could've lost her tonight, but he didn'tShe was still here, aliveAnd that was all thatYou caht nowSee?” Su Chan pulled awayAnd good God, that s lifted his hand and let his fingers trailed along the planes of her cheek”Are you really okay? I don't knohat the hell she did, but she hurt you really badI've never seen you so…” So lifelessSo debilitated”I mean, that was the worst shape I've ever seen you in”
Su Chan shook her head gently”The da jerked back in surprise”What? What do you mean it's not physical? Are you hurt elsewhere?” He scanned Su Chan's body up and down
Su Chan looked away”It's the auraI was incapacitated because I was exposed to its aura” Su Chan pointed at the red da stared at the da the da to ashes
”Don't botherYou can't destroy it,” Su Chan said as if reading his thoughts
Li Yundong shot her a worried glance”ButIs itIs it still affecting you?”
Su Chan shook her head”NoThelowered his head with a sighMoain”How are you feeling?”
”Tired” Su Chan said”But I'eThe movement of my Qi helped expel the aura fro huffed, then ran a hand through his hair”This is all on” He paced back and forth in the living roo about the noise instead of just dis and stared at Su Chan”Re visited us?”
Su Chan nodded ust”YeahThat's the first tiling leftIt sounded like solared at the red daIt has a stealth mode where it turns invisible”
”So she's been spying on ussince?”
Su Chan shrugged”My guess? Since the day she knocked on our door”
”RightWaitIs that why you hid inside your room that day? Not because” Not because we ot scared, he added silently
”YeahBut I was listening to your conversation”
Li Yundong frownedSo you since you stole the” Li Yundong pointed at his chest
Su Chan sIt doesn't htTheir cover was blown anywayLi Yundong cleared his throat”When Ruan Hongling came by the other day, it didn't see herself to meThen she asked me about my school and whohi
Su Chan toyed with her sleeves”That's because she really didn't know that dayI hid my aura well” Su Chan looked him in the eye”I think she came that day because she was curious about you”
”Me? But how could she possibly” Li Yundong sighed and let his chin drop to his chest”RightBecause I roared in the ht like some nutcase”
”She must have traced your roar to this area,” Su Chan said pensively”Only a Cultivator can roar that loudly and for such a long period of—”
Li Yundong groaned and slapped his forehead”damn it, I' stared at Su Chan”She didn't have to trace the roar hereShe lives in this areaI actually saw her the first day we moved here”
Su Chan frowned”What? Where?”
<hr>
Li Yundong sighed”At the gazebo near the gatesI didn't tell you back then because I didn't think it was significantShe lives in the block just opposite oursRe when I first experienced Xianjue? She's the one I saw on the balcony!” Li Yundong sighed again”After that I guess it just slippedaround usZhao Yujian, Lin Youfa, and all that crap”
Su Chan sat there quietly with a thoughtful look on her faceMoments later, she closed her eyes and pounded her head with her fist”Of courseOf course she would be living here”
Li Yundong grabbed her fist and ended her bout of self-harm”What?”
”Don't you see? She's a Cultivator! Of course she would pick this place as her homeThis is the ideal place for a Cultivator to stay!”
All those strange criteria Su Chan had when they were apart suddenly ling and I were both thinking like CultivatorsSo it's no surprise that we end up staying in the sauess it's just shi+t luck then”
Su Chan snorted”She must have felt dissatisfied after her first visit” Su Chan stared at Li Yundong”You practically disht she was nutsCan you blah? None of the stuff she said made any senseI even did a search on the internet afterwards”
Su Chan look adorably puzzledSilence spread between them, and the look of puzzlement on Su Chan's face deepened
”What?” Li Yundong asked
”But we didn't have fish that dayor the day after”
Noas Li Yundong's turn to look confused”What? Fish?”
”You said you searched in a netI thought” Su Chan blushed”I thought that'sthat's what they use to c- catch fish”
Li Yundong's laughter expelled every ounce of tension in his body”Oh, GodSeriously, Su ChanI adore you to deathHahahaYou really are so else, you know that?”
”S- Sorry”
Li Yundong reached over and ruffled her hair”Don't be sorryI like this innocent side of you” He sighed”It's so tiring to deal with scheirl like you h I' chuckled”YesEven though you're a trouble chipmunk”
Su Chan pouted and swiped at hiht her hand and held it firmly in his pal to spy on riuess”
Li Yundong gave her a funny look”What? Why is it your fault?”
”I got carelessDidn't conceal hAnd you weren't here”
”Me?”
”Your presence alone can act as a smoke screen,” Su Chan explained”Reht we first met? I hid the Jindan in yourQi canalong wherever I go?”
Su Chan nodded”But that was before”
Li Yundong's expression softened”And now?”
”Now it's because I can't iine my life without you”
”I think we're all set,” Li Yundong said, zipping up the suitcase”Anything else you wanna bring, princess?”
Li Yundong heaved the suitcase off the bed and placed it on the floor”Princess?” he said, turning aroundSu Chan was sitting on her bed, staring off into spaceShe was hugging her pillow to her chest
So's heart”Do you want to take that pilloith you?” he said, keeping his tone light
Su Chan's lips quiveredMoments later, she sniffedDark spots for walked over and sat down on the bed”What's the matter, princess? Are you sure you're not hurt anywhere else?”
Su Chan shook her head and rubbed her eyes”II''s features softenedSu Chan had insisted that they stay so returned with ht they didn't stand a chance against the Zhengyi School, not even with the JindanLi Yundong pulled her into his ar her hair”Whatever happens, it's gonna be alright”
They left the apart decided to keep the lease of their aparth to be honest, he hadn't a single clue what ”sorting things out” would entailWas the Zhengyi School open to negotiations? Would they leave Su Chan alone if he allowed them to remove the Jindan from his body?
They took a cab to town and wandered around for a bitTwo hours later, they walked into a dingyto be their place of stay for the tile roos, it was all they could afford
Li Yundong sat down on the bed with a sigh and pulled Su Chan into his arain”
Su Chan wrapped her arled into his chest”I' stroked her head”Don't be sillyYou've got nothing to be sorry for”
”You got into this mess because I ca chuckled wryly”My life was a less aze and cupped her cheek”At least now I've got you”
Su Chan closed her eyes as though she was feeling his touchSuddenly, she opened her eyes and pulled his hand away fro followed her gaze, his eyes landed on the circular wound at the center of his palIt didn't even hurt any smile”NahDon't worry about itIt's just a scratch”
Su Chan looked at hiYou were injured by apulled out the red damask from his pocket and held it out in front of theht now, it looks just like an ordinary piece of cloth”

”The Heavenly LakeSo, what, is that like Cultivators' favorite fishi+ng spot or soled and s s Su Chan happy”This Rainbow Cirrus thing… What does it look like?”
”WellIt's a thin, fog-like substanceJust like a thin cloud—a cirrus, basicallyAnd it's colorfulIf I'yi School had extracted the Rainbow Cirrus from the lake and then made this” Su Chan handed the da took it and waved it in the air a few ti capable of? Iholes into flesh”
