This Damned Thirst for Survival

Chapter 168 - You and Chi You, it's an affair

Jiang Luo: "......"

Jiang Luo's plan was to ask Teng Bi where he had gone, to distract his friends, and then ask them if they had any psychological shadows from the death in their dream. In the meantime, he would walk to the door of the bathroom, take a shower and sleep until tomorrow under the pretext of not feeling well.

Tomorrow is the last day before the trial, so the guys won't be poking around in Jiang Luo and Chi You's affairs at this critical juncture. Although Jiang Luo knows that he can't avoid the first day of the trial, he still wants to delay it.

But Lu Youyi's words, the simple word "boo-boo", completely shattered Jiang Luo's plans.

For some reason, in front of Chi You, Jiang Luo can play with the evil spirits without fear, watching with malice as they succumb to his charms. But in front of his friends, Jiang Luo feels nothing but embarrassment.

Strange.

He had the cheek to make up his bed scene with Chi You when he hadn't done anything with her before.

Jiang Luo stands still, feeling the heat start to burn on his lips again.

In winter, when it is dry, the skin on the lips flakes accidentally. Jiang Luo wants to lick his lips, but his tongue moves and stops in time.

He calmly removed his duvet and stubbornly kept to his original plan, " Where is Teng Bi?"

Lu Youyi's face sank, he rarely showed this look, but when it did, it meant he was really angry, "We woke up this morning and he was gone."

Seeing his attention diverted, Jiang Luo curled his lips in satisfaction and walked straight to the bathroom, "Gone?"

"Yes," Lu Youyi whispered, "he really betrayed us."

Lu Youyi's heart was cold when he woke up this morning and found no sign of Teng Bi in the flat.

Lu Youyi's life had always been smooth, he had no shortage of money or luck, and he had been brought up to be a bit insensitive, believing everything he was told, and shedding tears in the wake of dog and pony shows on TV. This was his first experience of being stabbed in the back by a friend, and Lu Youyi feels that he will remember this feeling for the rest of his life.

"Forget it," Lu Youyi disliked being so full of negative emotions, he shook his head vigorously and muttered, "I'm not short of friends ...... Jiang Luo, you haven't said anything about you and Chi You!"

But when he looked up and saw no sign of Jiang Luo, Lu Youyi was confused, "Where is Jiang Luo?"

Ge Zhu slumped back on the sofa like a grandfather and gestured towards the bathroom, "Taking a shower."

At the front door, Ye Xun walked in with the ginseng doll in his arms and Wen Renlian, carrying the groceries. Zhuo Zhongqiu tosses the car keys to Lu Youyi and looks at the ginseng doll jokingly, "Poor little thing, your dad just threw you in the car, he completely forgot about you."

"Yo, you brought a ginseng spirit!" Ge Zhu immediately got up and ran forward, his eyes glowing as he looked at the ginseng spirit, almost drooling, "How much is this beard worth?"

He teased along, "Big baby, why don't you stop following Jiang Luo and follow me, I'll never forget you in the car."

The ginseng doll looked at Ge Zhu for a moment, and then she "wailed" and faked crying and jumped on Ye Xun's chest, saying piteously, "I'm probably just a bitch, I just want my dad ...... "

He doesn't trust these humans, the ginseng spirit is very clever! The others look at him with either salivation or glowing eyes, but Jiang Luo, who doesn't care for him at all! The ginseng spirit had deliberately tempted Jiang Luo with bath water and tears, but Jiang Luo was unimpressed and disliked him.

The ginseng doll was a little frustrated but also convinced that it was safest to follow Jiang Luo around because Jiang Luo would never eat it.

And most importantly, Jiang Luo is so good looking.

If it could take shape, it would have to look that good too.

The ginseng doll's remark caused a burst of laughter.

In the bathroom.

Jiang Luo washed slowly, but even at a slower pace, the bath had to be finished sometime. He puts on the clothes Lu Youyi has prepared for him, blows his hair dry and ties it up casually, and dawns for a while before slowly walking out.

The air in my body has not yet recovered, and I don't know if I will be able to heal fully in a day's time tomorrow. If I use psychic techniques in the future, I will have to control them, otherwise it will be too dangerous in such a state.

He messed around with his thoughts and walked out to see that everyone was eating around the table. There was a table set up with beer and coke, and a place reserved for Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo walks over and sits down, takes a sip of his cold beer and exhales with a hot breath.

The winter in the north is heated and it's too hot to wear short sleeves inside. Halfway through the meal and drinks, Lu Youyi couldn't resist and asked, "Jiang Luo, what's going on between you and Chi You?"

At these words, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Luo, and it was clear that they were also holding their breath.

They just couldn't understand the relationship between Jiang Luo and Chi You.

When Chi You died, Jiang Luo cried so much at the funeral that they realised that Chi You had been deeply in love with Jiang Luo for a long time. They had been in love with Jiang Luo for so long that they tried to kill him, but Jiang Luo was still so stubborn that he was determined to be with Chi You.

It was not easy for Chi You to humiliate Qi Ye and make Jiang Luo see him for what he really is, so Jiang Luo just broke up with him.

It's more ups and downs than a TV drama, and it makes them want to know the whole story of Jiang Luo and Chi You's relationship.

Faced with their eager eyes, Jiang Luo was silent for a while, his mind woven with various scripts such as "hypnotized", "delirious", "reunited". The script was a mix of "hypnotised", "delirious" and "broken".

But he soon ditches the "forced by evil spirits" script, and the little ones, transformed into ghosts, should have seen the whole battle between him and Chi You.

They will only see Jiang Luo's passionate response when Chi You kisses him, and even kisses him back hard. Under these conditions, Jiang Luo's suggestion that he was forced into intimacy by Chi You would only seem false.

What's more, he doesn't really want to deceive his friends any more either.

But Jiang Luo didn't want to satisfy the evil spirits, who would have thought they were lovers.

His eyes rolled, and suddenly the end of his eyes popped up.

"Feeding the Ghost" script.

As he put together the true and false information, Jiang Luo took a slow sip of his beer and leaned back in his chair, "He's pursuing me again now."

"Hiss-" several people drew in a cold breath.

Jiang Luo tilted his head to hide a smile and looked up with a sad face, "I know you don't want me to be with Chi You, and I made up my mind to separate from him before. But he kept pestering me, so I told the Master of Heaven about it. After we finished investigating the blood eel case, the Heavenly Master took me to the Lian family and met Daoist Master Wei He and the Fatalist."

"By the way, you still don't know who the Fatal Man is," Jiang Luo said with a bitter, melancholy laugh, "it's a very, very strong man."

Wen Renlian and Zhuo Zhongqiu look at each other.

Jiang Luo gave a brief introduction of the Predestined Man, mainly describing how powerful and mysterious the Predestined Man was. As Wen Renlian frowned and pondered, Jiang Luo sighed and said quietly, "The Fatalist once predicted a great catastrophe in the occult world, and the culprit was Chi You. He said that Chi You still liked me and hoped that I would say yes to Chi You's advances. Even if I didn't like it, at least don't reject it. When Chi You was truly defenceless against me, he told me to kill Chi You."

"Only by doing so, I can save the metaphysical community from a catastrophe."

Ge Zhu could not help but frown, displeased, "What a crap method this predestined person is mentioning."

What kind of person deals with people like that?

Isn't this a case of Jiang Luo's sheep entering the tiger's mouth and feeding it with his body?

This method was both sordid and salacious, and brought their senses of the predestined down to the bottom at once.

Even if his prophecy is true, Chi You will become a great scourge in the future. But if the Destinies were to deal with Chi You openly and honestly, they would have been uncomfortable with the idea of Jiang Luo pretending to be subservient behind the scenes while waiting for Chi You to show his true heart and then setting him up.

Especially since Jiang Luo and Chi You are a couple who love each other and miss each other, who can guarantee that Jiang Luo really doesn't like Chi You anymore?

Jiang Luo, as if not seeing their ugly faces, continued through his wine, "I have a relationship with Chi You ...... after all, and he still likes me so much, likes me so much that he is willing to kill himself ten, eight, times in his dreams. I don't want to set him up like this even if I cut him off, but for the sake of the occult community, I don't know what to do."

Wen Renlian asked, "What does the Master of Heaven say?"

Jiang Luo looked gloomy as he shook his head in silence.

Zhuo Zhongqiu slammed his fist on the table and sneered, "Ridiculous, he was so strong, he didn't go after Chi You himself, instead he let you deal with Chi You. Chi You's death was already suspicious, but even after his death, someone didn't want to let him go.

"It also concerns the whole metaphysical community, so how come we don't know about this? My father hasn't heard of it either. What a mess, I think he's just doing it for his own selfish reasons!"

Lu Youyi had mixed feelings, "I thought you and Chi You were back together, seeing you two kissing like newlyweds who haven't seen each other for years. I didn't realize there was such a complicated reason. What did he prophesy to let you kill Chi You?"

Jiang Luo shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't know what he prophesied either. You were all curious earlier as to why I asked Ge Zhu ' White Heron Temple ', because the Fatal Man and ' White Heron Temple ' have a deep connection. I wanted to find out who the Fatal Man really was and what exactly the prophecy he spoke of was."

Ge Zhu suddenly realized, "No wonder ...... Jiang Luo, I'll go with you to check it out. There are some things that outsiders can't access, but I have access to get some information."

Jiang Luo raises his beer in his hand.

The reaction of his companions was what Jiang Luo expected. He wanted them to be on guard against the Predestinarians and the Six Families, and ideally to be prepared for the crisis that would come to the metaphysical world.

Lu Youyi sighed and said curiously, "So Chi You is now courting you, would you approve of him?"

"I'm afraid your kissing him wasn't just at the request of the Fates," Wen Renlian said with a meaningful tease, "Jiang Luo, we couldn't hear what you were saying in the ghost building. But when you hit Chi You, we could see very clearly that he rarely hit back at you. Especially at the end when you two kissed so intensely and passionately. He took the initiative and you kissed him back. I wouldn't say you've completely lost your feelings for Chi You."

Ye Xun also adds with certainty, "You and Chi You are ambiguous when you're together."

Jiang Luo's smile is slightly frosty.

Once again, he began to doubt himself.

He and Chi You, does it really look like a fling?

Isn't this a relationship of mutual torment and hatred?
