In reality, Chen Yu didn't really mind the little tricks and schemes that the twins had pulled, since he felt that he'd gotten a rather unexpectedly fresh experience out of it. Of course, it also helped that although juggling two of them had predictably proven quite tiring, ultimately the highs had proven worth the suffering. So he wasn't truly against repeating this interesting play.

But that didn't mean that he could allow these perverts to get a big head. Who knew what these animals would do to this body if he didn't train them properly? Thus, once he'd lounged around for a while, he 'woke up' and squeezed out some tears, then furiously scrubbed his wet cheeks before raising his head, crying, "Hate, hate..."

The two men, who'd been prepared to affectionately greet the sleepy youth, paled at their shizhi's watery words. Hearts constricting in panic, they anxiously hovered on either side of him and raced through various possibilities in their minds. What could have happened? Ning He hadn't seemed to dislike being with them, he'd even clung to them so cutely in the end. So what could have changed? Could he have somehow discovered that they hadn't stopped immediately when he'd fallen unconscious? Or had he detected the way they'd lingered before dressing him? Or maybe he'd realized what they'd been starting to do just now?

Exchanging guilty glances yet unable to pinpoint exactly which point had angered the boy, they nervously paced around the small figure, hesitating to speak lest they aggravated him further. Finally, however, Moqi Baihui plucked up his courage. While crouching down to try to meet the youth's eyes, he tentatively apologized, "En, shizhi, sorry. We were too excited, did we tire you out? Are you still sore?"

Having grasped the approach to take, Moqi Lirong took the cue and knelt on the other side, then cooperatively spoke as if confident that that was the sole charge Ning He could level at them. "That's right, you're so small, shizhi. It must have hurt. I promise, next time we'll prepare you better."

Despite his amazement at the man's shamelessness in assuming that there would even be a 'next time,' Chen Yu immediately jumped up and pointed his finger at the two men in turn, fiercely stuttering, "S-s-sore, s-small, th-this young m-master isn't—" But he couldn't finish his sentence due to his wobbling legs which lost strength at a timely moment, so that he buckled toward the ground.

Naturally, the twins didn't miss this chance to slither close to the boy. Wrapping around the trembling waist on both sides, they blathered soothing nonsense like "Don't be mad, shizhi, of course you're right" and "We were mistaken, everything's our fault," then briefly struggled over who would get to hold him, glaring at each other behind the youth's back. But as soon as they noticed that Ning He was about to throw them both off, Chen Yu swiftly ended up being seated sideways on Moqi Lirong's lap, his legs affectionately laid across Moqi Baihui's thighs. Due to the glimmer of light in their hearts which had brightened from this opportunity, the brothers rushed to caress him, hoping that they could use pleasure to coax him into forgiving them for whatever they'd done.

Unfortunately, Chen Yu's thirst had already been sated. So, disregarding their intimate arrangement entirely, he continued his act, drooping his head down and crossing his arms defiantly. And as a result of his unhappy appearance, both of the grand peak masters stationed on either end of his body, who'd been shifting back and forth to meet his line of sight to no avail, put on identically entreating looks and timidly withdrew their probing claws. Narrowing his eyes at their sensible retreat, Chen Yu didn't hide his sneer. Hng, let's see what these fools came up with ah.

As he'd predicted, the remorseful men wracked their brains and rapidly pulled out everything they imagined might appease this poor child. Among their parade of offerings, the first which he took note of was a proposal for one of them to apply some more medicine to his tender rear while the other massaged him; the second was the corpse-like body of Wenren ShiShi, which an enlightened-looking Moqi Lirong had dashed off and dragged back as if he was some animal proudly delivering prey to court its mate; and, apparently due to Moqi Baihui's clever brain at last kicking in, the third was the spread of sweets the brothers had bought in Liu An City and stored in their spatial rings for him. At that, Ning He finally reacted.

Curling the corners of his lips as he opened them in order to accept the pastry that Moqi Baihui was hopefully swirling in front of his mouth, Chen Yu mused. His lover truly didn't disappoint him ah. In all their lives together, he'd never failed to amuse him. Nonetheless, this array of desserts was almost certainly the best item to choose if he didn't want to encourage bad habits. While the other presents were intriguing, they were risky—and if he dragged this out and forced those brains to devise other options, these perverts would likely spit out more and more bizarre ideas.

With this decision, he unconsciously sucked on the white twin's fingers for the traces of sugar left on them and shifted his hips restlessly on the black twin's crotch, all the while glaring at them with his cheeks still bulging with food. A beat later, once he'd swallowed enough to speak articulately, he banged his fists against their chests. "Y-you! D-dared to do s-such an em-em-embarrassing thing to m-me when I t-told you to st-stop! P-putting th-that kind of th-thing inside m-me, this young m-master is a m-man!"

Rather enchanted by the shy flush that was climbing up their shizhi's neck to dye his cheeks and ears red and, moreover, inflamed by the innocent boy's inadvertently seductive touches, the Moqi brothers couldn't suppress their arousal. They could hardly even focus on the youth's complaints, distracted by the eyes that glittered passionately at them and the red tongue that peeked out occasionally. Since they were well aware that Ning He would be upset if he spotted any hint of their lewd thoughts, however, they hurriedly bowed their heads and lowered their lashes to hide their darkened eyes, fumbling to handle their erections by controlling the flow of their spiritual energy to their groins.

Occupied in this manner, a short silence therefore passed before their spokesperson, Moqi Baihui, regained his composure enough to speak. "Shizhi, of course you're a man! You're the handsomest boy ever, the strongest hero!" Then, having peeked over to confirm that Ning He's expression had brightened somewhat, he continued, "But you're so attractive, even fellow men are helplessly drawn to you. In fact, you're so charming that even though we admit that we did together was unusual, we're too lost in our love for you to ever recover, you'll forever be the only one for us. Don't you agree that you should take responsibility?"

Twisting his brow, Chen Yu hummed as if deliberating, secretly evaluating the second dessert that he'd been chewing. Mm, he'd buy more of this in Liu An City before they left. In this way, he polished off several more sweets, listing down his favorites until, having satisfied himself with the visibly agitated stares on him, he hesitantly nodded, pretending not to notice the triumph gleaming in the twins' eyes. Anyway, that joy would probably disappear soon.

His heart filled with anticipation, he cleared his throat. "Hm, hm, this young master has indeed heard about how I've stolen a fair few hearts. What can I say, it seems that my appeal is simply irresistible. And, while it wasn't intentional, if I've caused such an impact, I will of course take responsibility. But...since this young master is an honorable and just man, I'll have to bear the burden and accompany everyone equally..."

In the instant following this declaration, although Moqi Baihui's expression sank, he managed to retain some semblance of calm by tightening his grip on Ning He's ankle to reassure himself that the boy was in his hand. In contrast, Moqi Lirong's change was far more obvious and explosive. With his complexion turning black, he held Ning He's throat to twist his face toward him and warned through his gritted teeth, "Do. Not. Even. Think. About. It!"

Whereas the relatively restrained Moqi Baihui stroked the boy's hair so that he wasn't frightened by that stupid savage's shouting, he also could no longer keep himself from firmly repeating, "No, that really can't happen." After all, there were so many people who would no doubt pursue their shizhi, particularly after the way he'd revealed his power by killing so many demonic beasts. How could they bear to watch him interact with any of those pests?

Recognizing that to convince the soft-hearted boy, he would need to provide a reasonable, moral explanation, however, he covered up his distress and smiled. "You're so lovely, shizhi, if you try to be fair to everyone who chases after you, you won't even have time to cultivate well. Responding to strangers' feelings, that kind of trivial task is part of what we should do as your family in order to let you focus on training. Perhaps you weren't aware of this because you haven't had a proper shishu before, but now we're here. So it'll be best if you just reciprocate our feelings, and we'll take care of the rest." En, they'd make sure to 'take care' of those outsiders, they wouldn't be able to even lay eyes on the youth ever again...

Rolling his eyes inwardly, on the surface Chen Yu flashed a puzzled look that quickly transformed back into his bluffing posture as he tilted his chin up. "H-hng, I-I know that, I've had p-plenty of good shishu! But you, you had both better act d-decently if you w-want to k-keep me as your sh-shizi, you c-can't ever t-t-touch me like you did l-l-last n-night!"

Despite their crotches which jerked in protest at the very possibility, the brothers obediently agreed, silently adoring how silly their shizhi was. There were so many loopholes in the promise he had demanded...But, relieved that he'd been mollified, the twins didn't mention any of their fantasies. Instead, they dotingly fed him more sweets then carried him back out of the abyss.

Naturally, left behind was Wenren ShiShi's forgotten body.
