    Tranted by: Ndri


    Recap: Lu Heng died protecting the maind origin and Shi Kong became a devil pining for him forever


    Foreword: Author wrote something in brackets which I can’t trante without context. It probably means “Making a patch, may not understand properly and cane backter to take a quick look at the beginning.” This is because the first part is spoiler-ish and might include things that take ce much muchter, or, he is simply making an advance “patch” and may change things. “Foreigner”- because LH and SK are both people from another ne. I have no idea what SK’s identity is.


    A long, long timeter.


    Lu Heng retired to an advisory post and lived a long-awaited life with a mixture of eating and scattering dog food.1


    “Speaking of it, when we first got married, it’s a pity to think that there was no bridal chamber after having worshipped heaven and earth.” One day, Lu Heng started brimming with sentimentality.


    However soon after saying that, he then immersed himself in the wonderful plot on the huge screen in front of him. This privileged ss was good. One could vicariously experience performers performing the tasks. These tasks were much more exciting than those movies and TV dramas on the earth ne.


    Lu Heng, who was devoted to eating melon, did not notice the thoughtful eyes of the man behind him.


    “Which ne would you like to go y in?”


    “Of course, as before, memories will be sealed. You mustn’t cheat and secretly unseal your memories to find me!”


    ............................................................................


    “King, king, the little Lord is missing!” Over the past thousand years, Lu Han had grown a lot, but his figure was still as young as that of a teenager.


    The Nine-Tailed Fox king in red helplessly put down her book and rubbed her forehead. The man was formerly unfathomable but as reliable as a mountain. How had he be such a character in his present cub form? All day long, provoking cats and chasing dogs, which part of Zhaoshan mountains did not have its skin scraped off by him? 2


    Xi looked at the papers piled up on the table and thought that there seemed to be some evidence to follow. She was deeply shocked on the first day of her entrance into the Zhaoyao Mountain when she took over the duties of the demon king, having received half of the demon core from that man. The pile of documents had filled the cave, even thecquer seal on them had not been opened, and evidently the man had never dealt with the documents. Now Xi Xi realized that when she was the fox king, why her reports of the n affairs had always received the same sentence in reply: ‘Discretion’


    However, Xi smiled with relief. It is a lucky thing that the man could get thew of heaven and earth to remould his body and the soul coulde back again. The burden of protecting this demon race had been borne by him alone, that person should live as he wills after having endured the burden for thousands of years. There was no need to worry about the man’s safety. Although he was only a cub, the Dao of Heaven would protect him from any harm since he had saved thousands of life on the maind.


    Lu Heng felt somewhat guilty. He stood in front of the remnants of Fanyin Temple, a faint bleak wind blew, messing up his hair. Lu Heng grasped his hair impatiently. He did not like other people touching his hair, and he could notb his own bun. He had to gather his hair’s roots and carelessly tie it with straw. When the wind blew, it unraveled rapidly.


    Lu Heng soon transformed. Whispers from the demons around him always reached his ears, talking about how strong and graceful he was before. As a sought-after demon, in order to motivate himself to cultivate harder, Lu Heng decided on the day of his transformation to see how strong his former demon body was and feel the gap, so that he could have the motivation to make progress.


    It’s just that, it was not easy to get out of the n and cross the whole maind to the remnants of the Fanyin Temple, but Lu Heng stopped in front of the mountain. The rolling ck fog surrounded the main peak of Fanyin Temple and refused to let all living beingse near. The ck fog that had sprung up into the sky was not a good thing at first nce.


    Lu Heng estimated his own cultivation and gave up in his mind. Thinking about it he felt a little unwilling to withdraw from here, because looking at it, he didn’t know when will be the next time he could leave his race’s territory again.


    While tangled, Lu Heng did not notice that he was standing on the edge of the ck fog. When he found out, a ck mist was already winding up his feet. Lu Heng was shocked and was about tounch a resistance with his demonic energy, but found that the ck fog had no intention of causing him harm. On the contrary, there was a hint of intimacy.


    Lu Heng was a bold little devil in the Zhaoyao mountains. Seeing that the ck fog was harmless, he took the opportunity to take a decisive step into the ck fog.


    Unlike the spiritual energy of the outside world, in the maind origin, it was extremely pure. On a huge stone tree, a giant snake was entwined and a man was sitting at the bottom of the tree. The man was dressed in red, with handsome eyebrows and closed eyes. He seemed to have merged with the giant stone snake and had not moved for thousands of years.


    Suddenly, the man’s long eyshes moved and his eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of red eyes. He looked at the entrance with ecstasy and a little hesitation.


    Shi Kong watched a small figure appear at the entrance. The familiar face emerged little by little from the darkness, the size of a seven-or-eight-year-old child, the cheeks still having baby fat, and the eyes that had been painted, that had appeared innumerable times in his brain.


    Shi Kong dared not move. He dared not even breathe. He feared that it would be flower in the mirror, or moon in the water 3 and that his breathing would disturb the mirage. Even if it was just the illusion conjured by his insanity, he was willing to indulge in it forever.


    Shi Kong saw the childing closer and closer to himself, then warm fingers fell on his forehead: “Hey? It’s a living person.


    Just like the sounds of nature.


    Shi Kong’s millennium old body warmed up in an instant, and his empty chest reverberated with the echoes of a thumping heartbeat. He gently grasped the soft hand, and his eyes were soft: “Don’t fool around.”


    One day.


    Lu Heng received a paper sparrow. A few days ago, he had divulged his encounter with Shi Kong, so this paper sparrow contained the reply of Xi Xi. Xi’s reply within it contained only four words: “Be good to him.”


    That’s what I had been thinking too, since I first saw Shi Kong. Lu Heng nodded in his heart.


    It’s just that I don’t know how much better Shi Kong’s cultivation is than me. I can’t help much on the matter of cultivation. On the other hand, Lu Heng looked at his short stature and fell into deep thought.


    He has always been a person who asked things he didn’t understand, and now he pinched the paper sparrow to find Shi Kong: “What Xi said, I quite agree with it. But how can I treat you well?”


    Shi Kong heard him speak, and smiled: “Apany me, don’t leave again.”


    It was another long day.


    Lu Heng was a teenager just after he had ovee heavenly tribtion.


    Early in the morning, Shi Kong wasbing his hair.


    Lu Heng saw that his technique was skilled and asked, “Why are you so skilled inbing buns when you are a monk?”


    Shi Kong paused for a moment: “I used tob buns for a person every day.”


    Lu Heng heard the words and felt sourness in his heart: “Why don’t you continue tob for that man?”


    “I have waited thousands of years for him tob his buns again. Now, my wish has finally been fulfilled.”


    Lu Heng’s face flushed with embarrassment hearing it.


    Time was like a white steed that flits past a crack. 4


    Recently, Lu Heng felt a little strange. How could he ignore all these inconsistencies when he put his entire mind on Shi Kong?


    Now, for example, he was peeping at him again. Shi Kong opened his eyes to see, and as expected, Lu Heng panicked and averted his eyes.


    “You’ve been thinking a lottely. Are you worried about something?” Shi Kong asked.


    The young man’s face stiffened, and his expression was that of being irritated. But Lu Heng’s anger was not the coy affection-seeking kind. He took a deep breath and stepped forward.


    “Shi Kong, I know that you and I should be lovers with interlinked hearts, but I have never been able to recall the past. I just want to ask you what you think of me now.” Lu Heng paused and added another sentence, “Whatever you are, in short, I am pleased with you.”


    As soon as his voice fell, Lu Heng felt hotness on his lips.


    “From beginning to end, in this world, only you can touch my heart and soul. Myughter, anger, joy and sorrow, seven passions and six desires are all tied to you.”


    Another few days passed.


    Lu Heng disappeared. As soon as Shi Kong found out that the familiar presence had disappeared, his eyes, which had been cleared, were instantly dyed with blood. His heart demons had never disappeared. How could he enter Buddhism again when he held on to obsession and persistent desire?


    ck fog gradually appeared and became more and more dense. At this time, a paper sparrow plunged in at one end: “Shi Kong,e quickly to Zhaoyao Mountain to find me.”


    Zhaoyao Mountain. Everywhere on the mountain was red.


    Before the former residence of the demon king on the top of the mountain, a young man dressed in red looked back and smiled. The magnificent colourful scenery of the mountain grew faint for a while.


    He held out his hand towards Shi Kong and said, “Shi Kong, today I have be an adult. Would you like to live with me for a hundred years? No, is forever better?”


    Shi Kong went forward and seized the hand he had been awaiting for thousands of years.


    The long double dragon candles dripped candle tears. Under the candlelight, the shadows of the two men gradually ovepped in one ce. There were thousands of intertwined and lingering things tangled within it. 5


    Loving each other for a thousand years, never losing sight of each other
