Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

“I should be asking you this. Since you are engaged to Pei Qing, why are you still entangled with Pei Yu?” Zhao Shubao scolded angrily.

Pei Qing was also his childhood friend. Seeing her being hurt like this by Mu Jing, Zhao Shubao couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her.

However, Zhao Shubao’s words sounded more like jealousy to Mu Jing. He couldn’t help but think that Zhao Shubao still had feelings for Pei Yu. If Pei Yu hadn’t made the first move, everything that followed might never have happened.

Pei Qing was a member of the Pei family, and Ancestor Yin wouldn’t harm the Pei family. But the Zhao family, on the other hand, would not let the Mu family go easily.

If Pei Yu married Zhao Shubao, she would have a glorious future as the young madam of the Zhao Mansion. But here he was, losing both Pei Qing and Pei Yu, while the Mu family suffered a heavy blow.

Mu Jing’s eyes, reddened from drinking, were filled with reluctance as he spoke. “You like Pei Yu because of that incident, right? It’s just that it wasn’t Pei Yu who saved you at that time.”

“What did you say? Did you see it? If it wasn’t Pei Yu, then who was it?” Zhao Shubao’s eyes widened in disbelief, though he didn’t want to hear the answer. If he found out who it was, it would make future meetings awkward.

“Do you know how the estrangement between me and Pei Qing came about? Whenever the atmosphere between us is just right, I think back to that moment when I saw with my own eyes the woman I trusted, doing that kind of thing with someone else. Can you understand how that feels?” Mu Jing’s tone darkened.

“You mean, the person who saved me was Pei Qing? You saw what happened back then, why didn’t you say anything?” Zhao Shubao stammered, struggling to find the right words.

If he had witnessed someone he liked in such a situation, he would probably feel devastated. But it had been an act of saving someone, not of betrayal.

“So what? If she had no evil intentions, why did she panic and run away when she saw someone approaching?” Mu Jing spat through gritted teeth.

“You bastard, if you saw all of that so clearly at the time, why didn’t save me yourself? You still had the nerve to blame Pei Qing. You thought Pei Qing was as cold-blooded as you?” Zhao Shubao stood up angrily, grabbing Mu Jing’s collar and cursing.

After being yelled at by Zhao Shubao, Mu Jing instantly sobered up and said with evasive eyes, “By the time I arrived, it would have been too late to stop her.”

“Really?” Zhao Shubao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him, clearly not believing what he said.

.

“Young master.”

“Huh?” Li Tianyan saw Cheng Qi’s drunken appearance and couldn’t help but pinch his cheek secretly. Not only had this guy taken all the leftover dishes on the table, but he had also refused to let go of the wine.

“Young master,” Cheng Qi muttered again.

“Here.” Li Tianyan responded.

“Young master, tell me, did you commit yourself to me because you kissed me?” Cheng Qi asked vaguely.

Li Tianyan couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this. “That’s the opposite. It was you who promised me your life.”

“Oh, that’s it.” Cheng Qi suddenly straightened up, looked at him, tilted his head, and thought for a while before starting to untie his clothes.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Li Tianyan saw his movements and quickly reached out to save the last piece of clothing for him.

Cheng Qi gave him a silly smile and said, “I pledge my life to you.”

“Sure enough, you are drunk.” Li Tianyan was amused by his silly look.

He bit him on the lip, as a punishment, and the two of them rolled into bed. Cheng Qi spent the whole night making promises to each other, and Li Tianyan also responded to him personally.

When it was almost dawn, Li Tianyan took Cheng Qi, who was half asleep, into a wooden bucket to take a bath. When he saw the little shuanger who was so tired he couldn’t even open his eyes, and finally stopped causing trouble, Li Tianyan’s eyes were filled with a doting smile.

The next day, when Cheng Qi got up from the bed, he found that it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.

As soon as Li Tianyan opened his eyes, he saw the quilt on Cheng Qi slipping off, revealing the traces left by the night. He stretched out his hand to retrieve him, then pulled up the quilt and hurriedly hid his body.

“Young master, it’s very late.” Cheng Qi, still held in Li Tianyan’s arms, struggled restlessly.

Li Tianyan took a few deep breaths and patted his bare buttocks again. “Don’t blame me if you move again.”

As expected, Cheng Qi became honest and nestled obediently on Li Tianyan’s chest, but he was still thinking about opening a store in his heart. “What about the alchemy store?”

“Tan Eyu went to guard the store this morning,” Li Tianyan said.

“Oh.” Cheng Qi stopped at that.

“Zhao Shubao came yesterday. Shen Laizi probably won’t dare to cause trouble again. Let Tan Eyu take care of the alchemy store from now on,” Li Tianyan said.

“There won’t be any more fun to play with soon.” Cheng Qi pouted.

“The salivary blood grass should mature in the next few days. We won’t have time to play with the store in the future,” Li Tianyan said, unconsciously stroking his back.

Cheng Qi was so comfortable that he felt weak all over. He collapsed in Li Tianyan’s arms and sighed comfortably. He finally found some sense and said, “Young master, do you really think that I have something to do with the Lihuo Beast?”

Li Tianyan had told him this before, but Cheng Qi still found it unbelievable. After all, he had no memory at all.

Li Tianyan looked down at him. Cheng Qi was probably not looking in the mirror. He looked so charming right now that it was hard not to concentrate on anything.

“There is a possibility,” Li Tianyan said, rubbing his head.

“What if I’m not?” Cheng Qi said with some distress. If he weren’t a Lihuo beast, would Li Tianyan still like him?

“Don’t think too much.”

Li Tianyan suddenly turned over and imprisoned Cheng Qi beneath him. The two looked at each other. Seeing Li Tianyan’s eyes were firm, Cheng Qi gradually calmed down.

Yes, Li Tianyan had never been a person who wavered. Once he said something and made a decision, he moved forward firmly, and Cheng Qi had to be like him.

“No matter who you are, you are my Taoist companion, that’s all.” After Li Tianyan finished speaking, he lowered his body slightly, and their lips touched in a lingering kiss.

The love that had not retreated the previous night swept the two of them again. Two figures intertwined in the light sand tent, and occasionally a few heart-beating gasps could be heard.
