The Way of the Sword (BL)

Shou Zuo stopped his long explanation and took a long sip of tea to calm his throat and give Wen Jie time to digest this information.

"So, are you a few thousand years old?" Wen Jie asked blinking very innocently as if all the shocking things Shou Zuo said were no more important than that answer. 

"Yes, I think so… Da Jie I'm so sorry!" Said Shou Zuo discouraged, of course, that he was prepared for Wen Jie to be scared or scorned because of his age and being deceiving him from the start. 

"Are you sorry?" Asked Wen Jie narrowing his eyes dangerously, just as he did when he went hunting for bears and tigers that threatened village 10.

"Yes, I'm sorry for lying, but that wasn't something I could tell anyone, "Shou Zuo said shyly, not daring to look at Wen Jie, so he didn't see the other man's malicious smile. 

"I don't believe in your apology, I can only believe it if you sit next to me and look me in the eye," said Wen Jie, holding back his smile and saying seriously, as if he was feeling wronged.

If it had been another time, Shou Zuo would not have believed those silly, childish words from Wen Jie, but since he wanted his boyfriend not to hate him, then, of course, he followed all the words of this man.

Of course, that was a trap, quickly Wen Jie pulled him into his arms without giving the other man a chance to fight back. The fierce, hot kiss took Shou Zuo by surprise, he only managed to recover several kisses later, when his mouth was already swollen and sensitive. 

"Shouldn't you be angry or something?" Asked Shou Zuo in a muffled voice as he was hiding his face in Wen Jie's chest.

"Angry? Why should I be mad at you? "Asked Wen Jie kissing Shou Zuo's soft black hair. 

"I lied to you! I'm a freak for thousands of years! "Shou Zuo raised his face and stared at Wen Jie as he spoke those cruel words.

"Oh, you are talking about it! Xiao Zuo I'm not a very smart person, but I'm not ignorant either. Aren't we all cultivating ourselves to be great immortals? Wouldn't be thousands of years old be normal for a high-end cultivator? "Asked Wen Jie, not letting the opportunity slip away to steal Shou Zuo's lips that looked stunned.

The kiss went deeper and deeper, their quick breathing when the kiss ended seemed to make the room even hotter, Wen Jie's shameless hands roaming inside Shou Zuo's clothes, making this man forget the important issue that was being debated earlier. 

Of course, after another round of caressing and flirting, Shou Zuo cleared his mind and went back to talking seriously to his shameless boyfriend:

"I haven't just talked… you! Da Jie keep your hand still! We're serious business! "Said Shou Zuo patting Wen Jie's shameless hand who wanted to get in his pants.

"This body is still young, it's only 15 years old and you're 16 years old, we can't do that kind of thing until you reach Aurore Core Realms, yet we could only do that a few times a year… To do this whenever you want you to have to reach the Rising Soul Realms, "said Shou Zuo shyly, he never thought he would be in a position where he would deny sex and intimacy. 

"This body? Xiao Zuo, you said you're from a different species, that could stay alive even if your original body was destroyed… the way you say this body isn't yours? "Wen Jie asked softly, but that question was like thunder to Shou Zuo. 

For a moment Shou Zuo realized that he had taken Wen Jie as a simple-minded fool or a very innocent and influential young man, but Wen Jie's mind was not weak nor was it inferior to the minds of many veteran disciples. 

"The people who were condemned by the ten families and three clans, they fled into the small world, which is the one we are in. Of course, humans, devils, magical, demonic, and sacred beasts already lived here, all of them living in peace since this world had abundant energy from heaven and earth. Even the resources were unlimited for everyone's consumption, it seemed that the world would regenerate itself every few decades, so there was never a shortage of anything. The small world was like a paradise on earth until we fugitives from the Pantheon of Gods came to the small world. "Shou Zuo began to recount the events of that time. 

Wen Jie didn't let go of Shou Zuo the whole time he spoke, the information was very fanciful, even Shou Zuo's very existence was miraculous, he was afraid in his heart that Shou Zuo would disappear from his life.

"So when you and the other families forced you into the small world, did you eventually destroy the balance that made the small world regenerate?" Asked Wen Jie calmly after Shou Zuo finished speaking. 

"It was not destroyed but suffered severe damage. Instead of the world regenerating in 10 years, the small world suffered damage that increases the time to regenerate by ten times. However, the damage was getting bigger and bigger, as the god who created the three worlds never returned. The last time the world regenerated was in the Age of Ruler, which was also the flourishing of technology. However, for the world to regenerate it is necessary for the matrix to absorb the energy of heaven and earth, as the time interval is very large, the energy that the world absorbs is extreme, which ends up affecting the cultivation quality of all living beings, "said Shou Zuo, sighing as he remembered the time when energy could be touched with bare hands, but now it was necessary to close your eyes and go into meditation for hours to capture the energy of heaven and earth. 

"Well, you must imagine how arrogant my family and the others got here, wanting to dominate everything, instead of keeping their profile down. This led to a war between the locals and us in the pantheon, of course, it was a fight for resources. The people in the pantheon did not know how to use things wisely, as they always had in abundance, and they would not restrain themselves from seeing so many treasures in the little world. If there were people who did not support this predatory "colonization," there were still few compared to those greedy, hate-hearted people.

"So, did you get injured in one of those wars and your body died?" Wen Jie asked, giving a light kiss on his boyfriend's lips that looked depressed. 

"No, the irony is that I was part of the resistance group against these greedy people. I and many people joined the natives to fight these people, there were also people who went to another continent and there created their own place living in harmony with the natives… Anyway, I died thanks to a trap of a lover of mine, who in the truth was only with me to infiltrate the resistance group, "said Shou Zuo sadly.

Shou Zuo always likes men, whether today or thousands of years ago, even when he lived in the Pantheon of the Gods. There in the Pantheon, he had a fiancé, but with the internal fight started by the Mu Family and the war in the Pantheon, his fiancé died at the hand of the invaders. Shou Zuo did not have time to mourn the death of his beloved, so had to flee for his life with his family. Then there was chaos between the natives and them, so Shou Zuo followed the side of his family that was against this blood-filled hatred, joining the resistance along with the natives. 

He fell in love with one of the Franco family members, as part of that family also chose to unite with the natives. The man was handsome as a heavenly fairy, with golden hair like the sun and violet eyes like flowers, the beauty of this man could only be described with poems and songs. 

A pity that this man's heart was more evil than evil itself!
