Chapter 107 - II
Something seemed to be missing. Was it an object or a person? He remembered that the dream hadn’t been like this before. It had been very lively. Someone had been holding him?
As he thought this, golden light flashed in the dream, and Huo Yao was back.
Tiandi was shocked. “Why is it you again?”
Huo Yao grabbed him and said, “You called me again. You are obviously lonely. You miss me!”
“I don’t!”
Huo Yao hugged him hard, buried his head in Tiandi’s neck, sniffing his breath greedily. “Have you forgotten? When you were still an egg, I was the only one who accompanied you, wandering in the vastness. I can feel everything you think. You miss me just as I miss you. Only I can satisfy you here.”
Huo Yao’s words brought back the first memories of Tiandi. …Yes, before he came out of his shell, there had been a ball of thunder and lightning that always protected him. No matter how many dangers there were in the vastness, because there was thunder and lightning covering him, nothing could hurt him at all.
“Is it you?” Tiandi was shocked. “You actually have your own consciousness…”
Huo Yao kissed his forehead. “It’s me. After you came out of the shell, I couldn’t bear to leave. I gave up most of my strength and was finally able to enter the world.”
“I can’t become a physical person now, so I can only meet you in my dreams.” Huo Yao’s affectionate expression was laced with a hint of shyness.
Tiandi pushed him away and gave him a steady punch. Not counting the punch, he threw him to the ground again and punched him one after another. “Even if you’ve protected me, that doesn’t mean you can…”
“You’re so humiliating! You bastard, take off your pants and let me fuck you!”
Huo Yao finally had the chance to reveal his identity, and he laid down and let him beat him, but he became happier with every blow. “You remember who I am. You are mine, and we will never be separated!”
He hugged Tiandi tightly and kissed him hard. “I like you. I love you very much!”
Tiandi felt dizzy. Looking at Huo Yao’s blurred face in the golden light, he wanted to beat him but couldn’t bring himself to do so. While he hesitated, Huo Yao was consuming him again.
The next day, Tiandi stood up with a sigh. Looking at the suspicious marks on the sheets, he felt that Huo Yao wasn’t far from cultivating a physical entity.
When Huo Yao had a physical body, would they live like a couple in the human world? After thinking about it, Tiandi actually felt that this wasn’t so bad. Could it be that this was love?
Tiandi put on his clothes and opened the door. He was startled by Yue Rong standing at the door. “What’s wrong with you? Why are your eyes so red? Who bullied you?”
Yue Rong clenched his fists. “Tiandi, why can he do it but I can’t!”
Tiandi’s ears turned red, and he pretended not to understand. “What are you talking about? Don’t block my way, I’m going to work.”
Yue Rong opened his arms to block him and was very emotional. “Tiandi, why do you want to indulge him so much? He’s just a bolt of thunder and lightning, and can’t even maintain a physical form. What qualifications does he have to possess you?”
“He didn’t possess me.” Now that Yue Rong had discovered it, Tiandi simply no longer covered it up. He shrugged. “No one can control me. Calm down.”
“I can’t calm down!” Yue Rong yelled. “Tiandi, tell me what I did wrong, and I’ll change it!”
“You do everything well, but…” Tiandi considered. “I don’t want to sleep with you, I just don’t want to. Huo Yao… makes me feel good. I don’t want to find anyone else for the time being.”
Yue Rong said sternly, “Do you have to hurt me so directly? You can’t even coax me!”
“I think it’s better to be direct.” Tiandi said the cruellest words in such an understated manner.
Yue Rong stepped back, let out an unwilling roar, then turned and ran away.
Tiandi watched Yue Rong’s retreating figure for a long time before sighing. He slowly approached Huo Yao and reached out to touch him. “Because of you, my only apprentice ran away in anger.”
Huo Yao wrote firmly, [It’s just the right time for him to leave, otherwise I would have killed him.]
“Don’t mess around,” Tiandi warned him.
Huo Yao wrote: [No one can steal you from me!]
Tiandi sat down next to him. “Don’t take it too seriously. We just had sex now, and we can’t say what will happen in the future.”
Huo Yao was silent for a long time. [I will materialize as soon as possible, and you will fall in love with me.]
“Okay.”
Thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye. Yue Rong never returned after leaving, and Tiandi didn’t seek him out.
Since establishing a “bed partner” relationship with Huo Yao, Tiandi had basically never left the land of void. Apart from digging rivers every day, even when he stayed with Huo Yao, he had never been bored.
Perhaps, as Huo Yao had said, only they were truly the same. Tiandi cared for and recognized only him from the bottom of his heart. Other people and things in the world couldn’t enter his thoughts, let alone his heart.
Tiandi didn’t know if he was in love with Huo Yao, but he had indeed become used to his company.
The River of Void was almost complete, it just needed to be connected to the void. Tiandi refined Huo Yao into a divine axe and used it to split the barrier between the River of Void and the void. From then on, the great deities of the six realms who had transcended reincarnation found a place to stay.
Tiandi stood above the river, pleased as he watched the consciousness of powerful beings rushing through the river.
The divine axe in his hand grew hot. Huo Yao spoke for the first time, but it was to say goodbye. “I’m going to leave for a while. When I return, I can hug you during the day.”
Tiandi knew this day would come sooner or later, so he said nothing more. “Okay, go ahead.”
The divine axe flashed with golden light and disappeared from Tiandi’s grasp.
