Starting from the creation of Samadhi True Fire at Shenhuoshuo Village

Chapter 42 A night of growing up with Huaizhu

After getting along with each other, it became clear that Dongfang Huaizhu had become quite close to Lin Ye, and it was quite natural to enter his room before.

But now it seems that the two of them have returned to the time when they first met.

It was still a familiar face, but Lin Ye in front of Dongfang Huaizhu had become so mysterious and strange, as if he was no longer a mortal body, and had become an existence in another dimension.

"I remember Huaizhu, you like drinking pure tea? Then I won't make scented tea."

"Scented tea is also... okay."

"Yeah, that's good."

Lin Ye stretched out his hand towards the bottom of the teapot. As his palms heated up, steam gradually emerged from the lid.

Listening to the sound of tea flowing over the edge of the cup, Dongfang Huaizhu's heart was racing for some reason.

'He's...making me tea...'

'What was I thinking, what's the big deal. '

--"Give."

"Thank you."

Lin Ye passed the tea to Dongfang Huaizhu, closed his eyes and took a sip, feeling the refreshing feeling of the warm steam rushing straight to his forehead.

But Dongfang Huaizhu held the tea cup in his hand without drinking it, and just smiled faintly.

"Lin Ye, what do you think about the future?"

"future?"

Dongfang Huaizhu lowered his head and continued with some embarrassment:

"Well... Lin Ye, do you plan to stay at Shenhuo Manor in the future?"

"Or are there any other arrangements?"

Lin Ye took a sip of tea and put the lid on it.

"Master has already talked to me this afternoon."

"I didn't have any special plans before. I just wanted to practice fire art for at least one more year, but I think what Master said makes sense."

"I am not a member of the Dongfang family. Now that Jin Renfeng has died, I have been staying in the Dongfang family. From now on, it will be me, a foreigner, who will take over from Master."

"Master and Huaizhuqian may think it's nothing, but I'm also very concerned about other people's comments about the Dongfang family."

"Instead of doing this, it's better to go out early and have a look at the human race outside and get to know the demon race outside, right?"

Dongfang Huaizhu nodded. Lin Ye felt that the atmosphere was a little stiff and joked:

"Anyway, I haven't gone out to get rid of demons a few times in the past two years. Just think of me as going out to make up for the demons I didn't get rid of before, haha..."

"Master has told you, I have already agreed. No matter what, as long as master is willing to recognize me, I will definitely return to Dongfang's house to share your worries."

"Of course the marriage arranged by the master will not be invalidated, but now that such a big change has occurred, it seems that it can only be postponed for the time being."

"What about you, Huaizhu? What are your plans?"

As soon as Lin Ye asked, Dongfang Huaizhu's face immediately showed a trace of sadness.

"Haha... You are in trouble just because you don't know what to do next."

Lin Ye stopped tasting carefully and drank all the tea in the teapot in one gulp, turning to look at Dongfang Huaizhu.

"I know your situation."

"Now that Jin Renfeng is dead, it is really difficult to manage so many disciples in the courtyard, and all the tedious daily affairs have fallen on you and Master."

"Dongfang Qinlan is young and ignorant and only knows how to get into trouble. Even if I have newly learned skills and pass them on to my disciples for practice, I will not be able to relieve your management pressure."

"Furthermore, even if you and Master practice my skills hard and get better and better, you will still be unable to deal with these disciples."

"If I leave again, how will you bear such a huge burden." Lin Ye's words touched Dongfang Huaizhu's heart.

It is impossible for such a large sacred mountain villa to be abandoned, but just organizing the recent reconstruction work of the villa is already a mess.

At this juncture, should I go away with Lin Ye and ignore my Dongfang family?
Even if his father agrees, what do the Taoists from the Taoist League think? If his father is left alone in Shenhuo Manor in the future, will he be looked down upon and ridiculed by the Taoist League?
Moreover, Dongfang Huaizhu really felt that he had no reason to let Lin Ye take him away.

Maybe he can only become a stumbling block for Lin Ye. If he encounters any trouble in the future, I'm afraid he will really be a drag on Lin Ye just like his father said.

Thinking about it this way, is there any need to say how to choose?

Of course, he should stay at Dongfang's house, continue to share his father's worries, and grow into a Taoist who can stand alone as soon as possible.

But despite all these reasons, Dongfang Huaizhu still wanted to come and talk to Lin Ye and listen to what he said.

The specific reason is not clear to Dongfang Huaizhu.

Staring at Dongfang Huaizhu's dodging eyes, Lin Ye smiled softly and said:

"Actually, Huaizhu, you have thought about it a long time ago, right? Haha...has Master told you about it?"

"But you don't know when I will leave, so you want to see me as often as possible, that's right."

Dongfang Huaizhu's face turned red with embarrassment, and he just lowered his head and nodded slightly.

"That's it."

"Let's have a couple more drinks and sit and chat."

Lin Ye stretched out his hand to take the tea cup, turned around and poured a glass of water. The magic power in his palms condensed faintly, and a heat was generated out of thin air.

But at this moment——

Lin Ye felt a temperature that was warmer and more intense than this fire.

Even though his five senses were extremely strong, Lin Ye didn't notice it.

At some point, a pair of lips gently pressed against his right cheek, and he could feel a slightly rapid moist breath in his ears.

"Huaizhu, you..."

"Just don't move... okay?"

In a whisper, Dongfang Huaizhu murmured in Lin Ye's ear, and a pair of hands had already hugged Lin Ye.

One second, two seconds—

Lin Ye's surprise was quickly appeased, while Dongfang Huaizhu closed his eyes and showed a peaceful smile.

"I already know why I always want to see you."

"Father said that Taoists in the Dongfang family should focus on cultivating Taoism and eliminating demons. But since I have been with you, I often have thoughts other than cultivating Taoism and eliminating demons."

"I often want to find a small house with you in the suburbs to live together. We don't have to practice hard or remember these complicated etiquette. We can just go on in peace."

"Lin Ye, you are right. I have long understood that I should stay at the Dongfang family, but..."

"I want to stay with you tonight, is that okay?"

Lin Ye turned his head and looked at Dongfang Huaizhu's cheek.

On her rosy face, her almond-shaped eyes seemed to glow with sparkles, reflecting a beautiful glass-like color in her own pupils.

"You can obviously make more extreme demands."

Lin Ye smiled slightly and completely relaxed the stiff muscles in his upper body.

Afterwards, Dongfang Huaizhu and Lin Ye hugged each other tightly.

When the fragrance of her long hair poured into Lin Ye's nose, Lin Ye stroked the back of Dongfang Huaizhu's neck and felt that Dongfang Huaizhu's nervousness had disappeared.

That night, the two of them grew from the ignorance and youthfulness they had when they first met to a more natural and mature attitude.
