Ch77 - Papaya Flavored Senior Brother Gong (15)
Translated by Hua Li ^_~
Sassy Gou Liang Time!!!!
In a dimly lit room by torchlight, the manâs hands and legs were securely bound with thick iron chains, spread out in a defenseless posture against the wall. The wall seemed to be made of an unknown material, even clearer than a copper mirror, allowing Yue Qian to see his current miserable state clearly.
Sitting not far in front of him, Gou Liang wore an oversized outer robe with a loosely tied red belt around his waist. Yue Qian recognized this robe as one that Gou Liang had made for him and frequently wore himself while sleeping, claiming to enjoy the scent of the clothes and the feeling of being wrapped in them. And he knew that under the outer robe, Gou Liang was wearing nothing.
His fair legs were crossed, and one foot rested on a gray wolf-skin carpet, drawing attention to them.
Gou Liang spoke, âHero Yue, I hope youâve been well.â
His smile was as radiant as flowers, and the dimple on his left cheek made him appear harmless. This smile was identical to the one he used to greet Yue Qian every morning when waking up in his arms, saying âGood morning.â Yue Qian had heard that the demonic sect had been troubled recently, with Bao Shu and Left Protector causing many disturbances. But now, seeing Gou Liang safe and sound, Yue Qian couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief, suppressing the surging waves of longing deep in his heart.

Gou Liang was taken aback and suddenly looked at Yue Qian.
However, Yue Qian avoided his gaze and struggled against the iron chains, making a clanging sound â they were indeed tightly secured.
Then he looked at Gou Liang, his tone colder than his expression, âWhat do you want?â
Gou Liang, amused, walked toward him and traced his face with his fingers, teasingly saying, âI want to do so much. What should I do first?â
Yue Qian replied, âIs this the main hall of the demonic sect? Why are those people disguised as common people to deceive others?â
Gou Liangâs finger sneaked into his mouth, carrying a faint scent of red wine, causing Yue Qian to frown.
He continued speaking, âYou said half of it correctly. Those people arenât just disguised; weâve captured them specifically to reward our hardworking brothers. In the days of bloodshed, we canât let them die without experiencing the taste of a woman. Oh, donât believe it? Well, thatâs a problemâ¦â
Gou Liang had a teasing expression, but Yue Qianâs face tightened, not daring to bite his fingers with his teeth. Gou Liang playfully flicked his tongue, and seeing Yue Qianâs brows furrow, he felt even more delighted.
He said, âYou see, I heard Hero Yue has been quite formidable lately, killing over a hundred members of my demonic sect.â
âDid you also know that the parents, wives, sons, and brothers of these people begged me in tears to avenge their sons, husbands, fathers, and brothers? The sight of their sorrow is pitiful. As the leader of the sect, shouldnât I fulfill their wishes?â
Seeing that Yue Qian remained unaffected, Gou Liangâs smile deepened.
This was the true Yue Qian, with an unyielding sword that spared no one, whether it was against others or himself.
But in this âothers,â Gou Liang wasnât included.
The emotions were deep and unwavering.
Yue Qian, oh Yue Qian, with this disposition, how can you escape from the palm of my hand?
Thinking of this, Gou Liang was even more delighted.
After pulling his wet fingers out, he leaned down and kissed Yue Qianâs lips. Although the taste of spiritual power was bitter and astringent, he saw a slight crack in Yue Qianâs cold expression, which delighted Gou Liang even more. He kissed Yue Qian several more times, making loud smacking noises, until Yue Qian turned his head away with a tense face.

âI heard that Hero Yue plans to exterminate all the members of the demonic sect. I truly admire your courage.â

âOh, by the way, that means youâll have to kill me first.â
âOtherwise, if Iâm so lenient with you, at that time, not only will the hypocritical people of the righteous path come to kill me, but the demonic sect as well.â
âA person who canât even protect their lives and a demonic sect leader who canât avenge their loved ones, theyâre better off dead. Donât you agree?â
âYue Qian, you really put me in a dilemma.â
Gou Liang complained, âAre you the Great Hero Yue they say, willing to forsake your sectâs future as the future head, betray your sect, and disregard your parentsâ blood feud? But the truth is, are you really like that?â
âYou and I both know that what you value most is your master and your fellow disciples. If one day I kill them, you will kill me, wonât you?â
Yue Qian pursed his lips and remained silent.
Gou Liang tightened his grip on his neck and said coldly, âIâm asking you something. Didnât you hear?â
Seeing Yue Qianâs cold face and silence, Gou Liang said, âFine, the Great Hero Yue is a man of principle, right? Then, I wonât ask. After I take the heads of Master Situ and his two children, Iâll see how youâll treat me then!â
âYue Gui!â
Yue Qian scolded.
âWhy call me that? Oh no⦠didnât the Great Hero Yue say that from now on, there is no more âYue Gui,â only Bao Jiu? Do you think that by speaking sternly, I, Bao Jiu, will follow your orders?â Gou Liang coldly laughed, âTell me, who do you see before you, Yue Gui or Bao Jiu, huh?â
Yue Qian remained silent.
Gou Liang said, âIn fact, whether itâs Yue Gui or Bao Jiu, it doesnât make a difference.â
âSince I was brought back to the demonic sect by Bao Shi, carefully taught, I was destined to be like this. You should know that Iâm not joking. I donât like having anyone else in your heart except for me. If you donât listen to me, I will make sure to possess you completely in my way. After killing all those people, you will naturally only have me in your heart⦠love, hate, everything will be about me. Isnât that right?â
Yue Qian stared at him intently, unable to discern if what he said was true or false.
Gou Liang touched his face and said, âIf the Great Hero Yue doesnât want them to meet their end early, you can kill me first.â
Yue Qian looked at him fiercely, and Gou Liang smiled, âAre you angry that I hid your sword? If you want to kill me, you donât necessarily need that broken sword of yours. Isnât this one better?â
He held Yue Qian, forehead touching his, âThe heavy sword is edgeless, and the rainbow pierces the sun. I really like this move. Every time, I find it delightful when you willingly let me kill you, helpless and defenseless, letting me do as I please. How about letting the Great Hero Yue kill me a few more times? Then, whatever you say, Iâll obey you, okay?â
Yue Qian was restrained and tense, almost unable to maintain his indifferent expression. He gritted his teeth and said, âLet go!â
âI wonât let go.â
Gou Liang kissed his nose, âWeâve been like a married couple for two years, and you canât live without me. Donât you know? Yue Qian, I miss you so much. Whenever I think of you, I itch to find someone similar to satisfy me⦠Hehe, why are you glaring at me? Do you think I dare not? Just that, the Great Hero Yue, as the number one swordsman in the martial world, your sword skills are exceptional, no one can match you.â
Yue Qian looked at him with a dark expression, and his lips were almost drawn into parallel lines.
Gou Liang used releasing cold qi as an amusement, smiling and teasing him. One hand hugged his shoulder, and the other played around between his legs, his tone becoming more seductive. He asked Yue Qian, âEver since we separated, I havenât stopped thinking about you. What about you? Have you missed me?â
Yue Qian looked at him and said, âLet go of me.â
Gou Liangâs smile disappeared for a moment. He pinched his sword forcefully, and seeing Yue Qian frowning, bearing the pain without making a sound, Gou Liang snorted and released his grip.
He said, âBefore we were married, I accompanied you every day to practice swordplay. Now that we are husband and wife, you wonât even let me touch this sword? I wonât let you have your way, husband. Let me test if your sword skills have improved, shall we?â
Yue Qian opened his mouth to say something, but then Gou Liang bent down â
âYue Gui, get up!â
But how could Gou Liang listen to him?
Instead of entangling him in a fight, they practiced several sword techniques together until they were exhausted and collapsed, with Gou Liang falling asleep on top of him, still holding onto him tightly.

When Gou Liang woke up, Yue Qian wasnât by his side. He groped around, calling his name in confusion and sitting up.
Rubbing his eyes, he saw Yue Qian looking at him from not too far away, so he raised his hand and asked, âWhat delicious food do we have today?â
Just like when they were in the valley, waking up every day like this.
Yue Qian couldnât help taking a step towards him but then stopped himself, coldly looking at Gou Liang.
After waiting for a moment and not receiving a hug from Yue Qian, Gou Liang fully woke up. He put down his slightly sore hand and glared fiercely at Yue Qian before standing up.
The black robe draped over him slipped down, revealing his body covered in marks â Yue Qian couldnât help turning his gaze away, unable to look.
His waist felt a bit weak, but it wasnât uncomfortable. Yue Qian had already used his internal energy to massage him before he woke up. Gou Liang chuckled and glanced at the four broken chains on the ground. Remembering how Yue Qian had shaken off the chains with his internal energy and pounced at him fiercely yesterday, Gou Liang felt proud. He walked towards Yue Qian, who was wearing tattered pants, and leaned against his chest, saying, âGreat Hero Yue, you only care about yourself. Why donât you find me something to cover myself?â
Yue Qian didnât avoid him but asked, âHow long do you plan to keep me here?â
Before Gou Liang woke up, Yue Qian had explored this secret room thoroughly. Apart from the smooth six-sided walls, there were no visible seams, let alone any switches.
Gou Liang said, âOf course, until the day I die, or maybe when I get bored and tired of you, Iâll naturally let you go.â
Yue Qianâs gaze became even colder.
Gou Liang laughed and pinched his face, saying, âMy little wife canât take jokes anymore.â
Saying that, he whistled three times, and a small window was pushed open from the wall base. A boy who looked about three or four years old crawled out from the window and then turned around to retrieve some clothes and food from outside, placing them respectfully on the ground, kneeling, and saying, âSect Master, what are your orders?â
Only then did Yue Qian notice that the boyâs eyes had been gouged out.
He frowned and listened as Gou Liang asked about the time before sending the boy away. The boy crawled back through the small window.
âWhy are you looking at me like that? His eyes werenât gouged out by me. You should recognize that scar; it was caused by the Beiyuan Sect. These righteous people, always talking about upholding justice, but their actions are no better than the demonic sect.â
Gou Liang whistled again, and a switch on the ground opened up, revealing a clear pool of water.
Gou Liang jumped into the water and sighed. Seeing Yue Qian looking around, he couldnât help but laugh, âDonât bother. To welcome you, I made sure all the switches are outside. Theyâll only work when they hear my whistle. You wonât escape from my palm in this lifetime.â
This secret room was originally built by the previous owner for martial arts practice â this narcissistic person didnât know where he found stone similar to ice jade and used it to create these six mirrored walls, all for the purpose of admiring his own beauty at any time.
Gou Liang also found it rare and specially made some modifications.
Yesterdayâs experiment proved that doing certain things here indeed felt amazing.
Gou Liang emerged from the water and splashed around, saying, âCome over here and wipe my back.â
Yue Qian saw him lying against the pool wall, looking like a master waiting to be served, and with seven parts helplessness and three parts willingness, he frowned and entered the water.
Gou Liang leaned against his chest, wrapping his arms around him, and said, âYue Qian, stay here with me, wonât you?â
Yue Qian didnât answer.
Gou Liang sighed, âDo you also believe that righteousness and evil cannot coexist, and we are destined not to be together?â
Yue Qian said, âSix years ago, when you were appointed as the Right Guardian of the demonic sect, you received Bao Shiâs favor. Let me ask you⦠were you involved in the massacre of the Yue family?â
This was a major knot in Yue Qianâs heart.
Gou Liang sneered, âYou really think highly of the Yue family. How naive. Do you think the demonic sect would mobilize just for the sake of the Yue family?â
âYour Yue family had a longstanding tradition of martial arts, and their reputation in the martial world was undeniable. Unfortunately, after your grandfatherâs death, his sons were disappointing, and there werenât many skilled fighters left in the Yue family. I remember that at the time, Bao Shi didnât even need to make a move. After Bao San and his men swept through the Yue family, he searched for something specific. Perhaps he didnât find it, as he was so angry that he set the entire Yue family on fire, wanting to eradicate them completely.â
He spoke with a careless tone, disregarding Yue Qianâs stiff and angry body.
âIâm quite curious about what he wanted from your family. You should know that heâs getting older and has a few reliable subordinates. Itâs been many years since he personally participated in any massacreâ,Gou Liang said.
Yue Qian suppressed his anger and said calmly, âIt should have been for the >â
âHuh, why havenât I heard of this martial art in the martial world?â
Gou Liang was curious.
Yue Qian explained, âThe book was stolen from the Yue family a hundred years ago, but many people didnât believe that the sacred scripture of the Yue family would be easily stolen. Later, no one used this martial art, and Jiuming Tower produced a master who practiced the âNine Dark Arts of the Netherworld,â so it gradually faded from peopleâs attention.â
âI only found out about it by chance later, but itâs true that the Yue family had this secret scripture, and it was indeed stolen.â
âThe person who stole it was none other than my grandfatherâs younger brother. He was obsessed with martial arts and had remarkable talent, so he was a bit arrogant. But at the age of seventeen, he was defeated by a thirteen-year-old child. Feeling unconvinced, he stole the > meant only for the eldest son of the Yue family. After twenty years of hard training, he challenged that person again, who had become a renowned martial artist in the Jianghu, and was no longer afraid of the fight.â
âThe two of them fought in the desert for seven days and seven nights, and neither could determine the winner. In the end, they encountered a sandstorm and got lost in the desert.â
âBy then, they were both exhausted and heavily injured, leaving only a few words before they perished here.â
Listening to this, Gou Liang already guessed what happened later. As expected, Yue Qian continued, âSix years ago, I got lost in the desert and was accidentally swept to that place, where I learned about these events.â
âSo, the martial art you are currently practicing is the >? It does have unique aspects, no wonder Bao Shi is so obsessed with it.â
Yue Qian didnât deny what Gou Liang said. However, he was more concerned about another matter. âYue Gui, I didnât think about it in detail at the time, but after calming down later, I knew you wouldnât lie to me. But⦠if you are Yue Gui, how did you become the leader of the demonic sect?â
âIndeed, I became Yue Gui. But why did I turn into Bao Jiu?â A trace of cold light flashed in Gou Liangâs eyes. âSpeaking of which, when your Yue family was wiped out, Bao Shi sent me to the Medical Valley to get a life-prolonging treasure and capture a person alive.â
âLater, I learned that he had probably made a mistake while practicing the >, resulting in severe injuries. Thatâs why he urgently sought a martial art that could rival it from the Yue family. At the same time, he sent me to capture the so-called Medical Valley Divine Doctor to heal his injuries. Unexpectedly, from the Divine Doctorâs mouth, I heard an astonishing and shocking story...â
