Chapter 24: In That Moment Where Mu Chen Is Distracted, Take the Chance–Kiss! (2/2)
His current powers were already retaken by Yu Tianyi. Thinking about the events with his fellow apprentices, only to be imprisoned by Yu Tianyi, he is fortunate to be able to leave behind something. His spirit veins have already been crippled, but his spirit soul was still there. Depending on this hope, Ji Qingyuan continued to struggle at death’s door. The people he was on good terms have all distanced away from him since he was avoiding suspicions. He was once well-regarded, but now he’s been cast away. Ji Qingyuan lived alone in a hidden chamber, naturally with no one to discover his circumstances. Even if he were found, it would be taken as a counteract from devil cultivation, his soul would be extinguished, and there was no way to verify it.
看着渐渐凝聚成型的人影，顾云玦捏着黑蛋晃了晃，笑的温和，“吃了他，你就能进阶了，我可不养废物，你最好争气L一点。”
Looking at the figure that gradually formed, Gu Yunjue held Black Egg and shook it. With a smile, he gently said, “If you eat him, you can then advance. I’m not raising waste, so you better work hard.”
黑蛋眼睛都亮了，扑棱着翅膀眼冒红光的看着季清远的魔魂渐渐成型，飞到空中虚空一转，变作一只黑色的乌鸦，猩红的眸子，金色的嘴巴，头顶三撮金毛渐渐化成飞腾的火焰，若是现在的样子，还是比平时稍微美化了几分——魔界深渊恶魔，幼崽期的三足金乌！
Black Egg’s eyes brightened, and he flapped his wings, his eyes gave off a red glow as he looked at Ji Qingyuan’s devil spirit forming before him. Flying into the air and turning, he transformed into a black crow with scarlet eyes, a gold beak and the three tufts of good feathers gradually changed into a soaring flame. His present appearance was, nevertheless, somewhat more beautiful than his regular appearance – Devil Realm’s Abyss Demon, a young Three-legged Golden Crow!
季清远开始还有些迷茫，不知道自己身处何处，再看清顾云玦的时候，他瞬间认了出来，“你是穆辰的徒弟！”
At first, Ji Qingyuan was confused, not knowing where he found himself. Once he saw Gu Yunjue, he instantly recognized him: “You’re Mu Chen’s disciple!”
顾云玦笑眯眯的挥挥手，黑蛋饿鸟扑食的冲上去，饿了太久，它早就等不及了，尖锐的嘴巴叼住季清远的神魂，狠狠的撕下一口，伴随着季清远无法反抗的惨叫，它舒爽的呻吟一声，紧接着更加疯狂的扑上去。
Gu Yunjue smiled and waved and the hungry bird Black Egg rushed up. Starved for too long, it couldn’t wait. His sharp mouth gripped Ji Qingyuan’s spirit soul and ruthlessly torn out a mouthful as the helpless Ji Qingyuan screamed. He snorted and urgently pounced with even more craziness.
神魂被一块一块撕裂的痛楚让季清远凄厉的惨叫起来，惊恐和绝望让魂魄的味道更加鲜美，引得恶魔乌鸦撕咬的更加疯狂。
Ji Qingyuan released a mournful scream from the pain of his spirit soul being torn piece by piece. His fear and desperation made his soul even more delicious, leading the Demon Crow to bite even more fervently.
顾云玦回想起穆辰见到他被偷袭时那愤怒和绝望的眼神，再看眼前的人绝望的模样，心情不错的勾了勾嘴角。小师尊还是太善良，一剑杀了他，岂不是太便宜了？
Gu Yunjue recalled Mu Chen’s angry and desperate expression when he was (GYJ) was sneak attacked. He then looked again at the desperate look of the person before him and smiled happily. His small master is still too kindhearted. To kill him with a single sword blow, isn’t it too cheap?
心情愉悦的回到自己的房间，顾云玦找出一个白色的卷轴，面带笑意的将其铺在桌上，挽起袖子，提笔蘸墨，细细描绘一幅美人沐浴的美图，妙至巅毫，连肌肉的纹理和锁骨的线条都惟妙惟肖，可见在他脑中记忆多么深刻。
Returning to his room in a good mood, Gu Yunjue found a white scroll and placed it on the table with a smile. He rolled up his sleeves, dipped his brush into ink, and delicately depicted a beautiful picture of a bathing beauty. It was wonderful. The texture of the muscles and lines of the clavicle were true to life, clearly illustrating his mind’s profound memory.
正是穆辰。
It looked precisely like Mu Chen.
穆辰所说的顾云玦会比他更好，就是这个原因，顾云玦不仅写字狂放大气，入木三分，作画的笔力更是少有人及。
Mu Chen said that Gu Yunjue would become even better than him. Because of this, not only is Gu Yunjue handwriting unrestrained and impressive but also written in a forceful hand. Even more, few people can reach his level of paint strokes.
TL note: 入木三分 (rù mù sān fēn) – Written in a forceful hand – profound/penetrating
画完了之后顾云玦眯起眼睛笑了笑，满意的挥了挥袖子，将墨里的水份烘干，将卷轴小心的卷起来，用一条红绳拴起来，单独放在一个空间戒指里，以后有关小师尊的东西，都要分类单独放，不能被其他东西弄脏了。
After painting, Gu Yunjue narrowed his eyes and smiled. He waved his sleeves with satisfaction and dried the ink. The scroll was carefully rolled up, tied with a red string, and placed alone in a spatial ring. In the future, things that are related to his little Master must all be set on their own since other things must not soil them.
抱起自己的枕头，顾云玦走向穆辰的房间。
Carrying his pillow, Gu Yunjue headed towards Mu Chen’s room.
打坐中的穆辰睁开眼，看着半夜跑来找自己的小徒弟，张开双臂，等着对方扑过来，摸了摸小孩儿脑门上的汗，担心的问：“做噩梦了？”
Mu Chen, who was meditating in the middle of the room, opened his eyes, seeing the small disciple who ran to find him. He opened his arms, waiting for the other to throw himself over. He wiped the sweat from the small child’s forehead and anxiously asked, “Did you have a nightmare?”
顾云玦委屈的点头。
Gu Yunjue felt wronged but nodded.
穆辰倒下后，把小孩儿搂进怀里，温和的道：“那师尊搂着睡，不怕了。”
After Mu Chen fell over, he drew the small child into his embrace, and gently said, “Then Master will hold you as you sleep. Don’t be afraid.”
顾云玦笑着扑过去，搂住穆辰的腰，抱的紧紧的。穆辰心疼的抱紧他，安慰：“不怕。”
Gu Yunjue pounced over, embracing Mu Chen’s waist tightly. Mu Chen lovingly hugged him closer, and comforted him: “Don’t be afraid.”

第二天一早，穆辰坐在窗边看丹方，镜明拿着根绳子从宫外蹦跶进来，兴高采烈的问：“黑蛋呢？我找到了新的绳子，还有铃铛！”
Early the next day, Mu Chen sat by the window reading pill formulas. Jing Ming was holding a rope and bounced as he entered, and asked in high spirits, “Where’s Black Egg? I found a new rope that even has a little bell!”
一大早上就这么吵，穆辰微微蹙了蹙眉。
With it being so noisy already this early in the morning, Mu Chen slightly frowned.
顾云玦看到他这个表情，淡淡一笑，走过来说：“昨晚它说是要闭关进阶，我放它去了后山。”一个化神期的神魂，哪是那么容易吃光的，最起码要一个月的时间，黑蛋才能吸收干净。
Gu Yunjue saw this expression, faintly smiled, and walked over and said, “Last night it was it wanted to enter seclusion to advance, so I let it go behind the mountain.” A demigod spirit soul, how could it be so easy to eat it all together. At least a month was needed for Black Egg to absorb it cleanly.
镜明失落的把绳子收起来，暂时用不上了。
Jing Ming was disappointed as he put the rope away, unable to use it for the time being.
穆辰对镜明勾了勾手指，后者赶紧跑过去，低着脑袋求蹭。
Mu Chen beckoned Jing Ming over with his finger, and the latter quickly ran over, lowering his head to be rubbed.
穆辰拿出一块玉牌，吩咐道：“你陪云儿去趟藏书阁，让他挑些喜欢的东西，有人敢抢，打回去。”
Mu Chen took out a jade plate and instructed, “Accompany Yun er on his trip to the Book Pavilion and have him pick out some things that he likes. If anyone dares to snatch them, fight back.”
顾云玦走过来给穆辰理了理衣襟，满怀期待的问：“师尊不跟徒儿一起去吗？”
Gu Yunjue walked over and tidied up Mu Chen’s lapel. Filled with expectation, he asked, “Master isn’t going with disciple?”
“为师要炼丹，让镜明陪你。”
“Since Master needs to concoct pills, let Jing Ming accompany you.”
顾云玦又替穆辰理了理头发，继续问：“那中午徒儿回来陪师尊用餐。”
Gu Yunjue tidied Mu Chen’s hair and continued asking, “Then at noon, this disciple will return to eat with Master.”
穆辰点头，心不在焉的说：“去吧。”
Mu Chen nodded and absent-mindedly said, “Go then.”
顾云玦眯了眯眼睛，掩下眼底的不满，凑过去捧住穆辰的脸，在穆辰呆愣的那一瞬，凑过去——亲！
Gu Yunjue narrowed his eyes, covering up the dissatisfaction in his eyes. Taking advantage of a chance, he cupped his hands around Mu Chen’s face. While Mu Chen was foolishly staring blackly, he took another opening – kiss!
穆辰：“……”
Mu Chen: “……”

黑喵：“特么哒！我写不下去了！辰辰被变态亲了！！”
Black Meow: “Damn it! I can’t write anymore! A pervert kissed Chen Chen!!”
穆辰：“马上就V了，你不能萎。”
Mu Chen: “It will soon be V. You can’t drop it.”
黑喵：“可是要写一万字！我一想到他要长大了我就不想码字啊(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻”
Black Meow: “But it’s having to write 10 000 characters! Once I think that he’s going to grow up, I don’t want to write anything ah!” (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
穆辰：“写不下去的时候，看看你家那只被割了蛋蛋、戴着伊丽莎白圈、还能巴拉着栗子满客厅跑的猫坚强，你有什么理由写不下去？”
Mu Chen: “When you can’t write anymore, look at your strong house cat that has been castrated, is wearing an Elizabethan collar, but is still able to play with chestnuts in the living room contently. On what grounds can you not continue?”
黑喵：“……”你说的好有道理，我竟无言以对_(:з」∠)_
Black Meow: “……” What you say makes sense. I am unexpectedly left speechless. _(:з」∠)_
