TGCMM Chapter 8 – Night Talk

~ At a moment like this, BOSS’ self-control has practically fallen apart. ~

Although he’d uttered the words asking who it was, the truth was that Fu Wang clearly knew that the person was Shu Yu. Not just because Shu Yu was the only one who would be so careless when tailing and peeping on someone, but also because he’d purposely made the medicine in front of her to lure her here.

She’s an easy-to-read girl and compared to him who struggled in the muddy waters, she was like a clear pool of deep water that could be seen clearly with a glance. Therefore, Fu Wang had already almost figured out her thoughts and could correctly guess her behaviour eight or nine times out of ten. He knew from the blinking light of curiosity in Shu Yu’s eyes that she would definitely come.

But Shu Yu didn’t know that BOSS knew, so she was feeling a little embarrassed now. Anyone was bound to feel awkward after being caught in the act of peeping, though she clearly knew that she absolutely had no bad intentions, just pure curiosity.

Initially, she had wanted to run away but on second thoughts, it has been said that BOSS became weak when he was in his half demon form. What if she ran away and an accident happened when BOSS was chasing after her? BOSS was a paranoid person and if he didn’t know who was spying on him, he definitely wouldn’t be reassured and will find ways to get the answer. Instead of being found out by him, it’s better to surrender herself……Shu Yu recalled the incident where she was mischievous and had broken her grandfather’s tea pot when she was young.

After giving it some thought, Shu Yu dragged her feet as she walked out, tugging on her clothes as she strived to put on a serious expression: “It’s me, I was a little worried about you so I came to take a look.”

Under the moonlight, the boy in the pond tilted his head and spoke softly: “Is that so?”

Shu Yu retreated two steps when he flashed his smile, feeling her inner Shu Yu spray blood from her nose as she fainted, but she put on a “Right, I’m an upright person” expression. She’s unsure whether BOSS would believe this reason but because he’s always smiling, you can’t tell what he’s thinking. Moreover, that smile was too dazzling that she didn’t dare to keep looking at it otherwise she’d suffer from excessive heat and have no access to Wang Ji herbal tea to cool herself down.

To break this awkwardness, Shu Yu touched her nose as she looked at her own toes: “Aren’t you feeling cold soaking in the pool?”

“This pool is a Spiritual Spring that gathers clean air and together with the spiritual moonlight, it is a great tonic for the Demon Clans. As a half demon, I’ll turn weak whenever I’m in this form and also emit a scent that will attract some low-level beasts. All that can be suppressed when I’m in here.” With lowered eyes and an indifferent tone, he looked somewhat pitiful.

Shu Yu’s throat tightened. She wasn’t touched by BOSS’ fragile state because no one understood BOSS more clearly than herself and she knew that nine point five out of ten times, his pitiful look was just an act. What frightened her was the fact that BOSS actually told her about this, told her that he was weak.

After all, there were many hybrid demons in Meng Ze but half demons were few and were generally weak, with few living to adulthood. Many half demons would never reveal the various secrets regarding their transformation but Shu Yu realised that BOSS did not hide anything from her. Although she already knew quite a bit because they were revealed in the story, but what happened to ‘BOSS doesn’t trust anyone’? He didn’t conceal the slightest thing from her, what is going on? She felt a little afraid haha……don’t tell me, the current BOSS has yet to blacken to the point he would get to in the future?

Shu Yu was unsure and after some time had passed, she finally managed to mumble a reply: “Is……is that so.”

Compared to Shu Yu’s uneasiness, Fu Wang was more natural. He seemed not to care about his fragile state, displaying his usual smile as he chatted normally with Shu Yu.

“I still need more time here, you can go back and rest first, you’re tired from today’s training, aren’t you?”

“I’ll wait for you here.” Shu Yu was infected by his casual behaviour and finally felt normal again. Saying this, she sat down on a stone not far from the pool. In fact, she was scared for the weak BOSS, what if an accident happened and she lost a great partner and teacher?

Sat on the stone, Shu Yu’s eyes suddenly met with his. She was unsure of the reason but she seemed to have seen something in BOSS’ silver eyes, something that could be called ‘warmth’. BOSS suddenly became gentler but she was so scared —— BOSS’ charm is so great and he’s aiming it at her, was he aware of this?

Seeing her look away, Fu Wang laughed and looked right at her, but it wasn’t a look that would annoy people. Jin Yu’s looks were stunning, the flaming type of beauty. If it were the original Jin Yu, even a pretty appearance would be like a glaring flame that people didn’t dare to look at but when it was a different person inside this body, sat quietly in the distance, displaying some awkwardness and shame, it made people feel calm.

She was like water. Combined with her dazzling appearance and her lack of attempting to imitate the original Jin Yu, it showed off a unique blend of water and fire. It was extremely attractive. The way she looked right now, as if he was the only one seeing it, was a scenery that belonged to him only.

Holy shit BOSS’ gaze is increasingly penetrating and there’s no underwear here so she was only wearing a thin garment, she didn’t feel secure! Shu Yu’s inner self thought as she looked up at the moon, trying her best to ignore BOSS’ gaze.

Luckily, he managed to converge his powers quickly and he stood up in the lake, “It’s getting late, let’s go back.”

Shu Yu was somewhat surprised, “So fast?”

Fu Wang smiled wordlessly and walked out from the lake. Of course it couldn’t be that fast, but he had to stay till dawn at least and Shu Yu still needed to rest. How could she rest if she was accompanying him here? Not being here just meant getting less spiritual moonlight and it wasn’t a big deal if done occasionally.

His clothes were wet and stuck right to his body, revealing the outline of a boy’s thin figure. Even though he was just a boy, he still had a beautiful body with smooth lines. No wonder some people say that a half-revealed body is more tempting, Shu Yu was now deeply convinced. She finally took her eyes off the boy’s white skin and his beautiful face, saying: “Won’t you be cold wearing those wet clothes? Why don’t you use your spiritual powers to dry yourself off?”

“I can’t use my spiritual powers in this state.” Fu Wang indifferently revealed another shortcoming of his.

Shu Yu was dumbfounded. She didn’t know how to use it either. Although it wasn’t difficult to learn these easy spells, she hadn’t had time to learn these simple and small spells as she had been studying the difficult life-saving moves. After a moment of thought, she moved closer and draped her coat over BOSS.

“Then let’s go back.”

It was dark in the silver bamboo forest. After shrinking, Fu Wang’s height has shrunk too. Wrapped in Shu Yu’s coat, he walked behind her silently as he held up the coat ends because it was too long. In addition, the forest was dark and he didn’t seem to be able to see clearly, every step seeming to be a struggle. Thanks to this body, Shu Yu was able to see clearly so she noticed BOSS’ situation and was worried about whether or not she should help him. BOSS seemed to have gotten weaker after his half demon transformation but he was the kind of person who would hang on even if it killed him and never revealed his plight.

She observed him silently as he tripped over a small pebble again. Shu Yu couldn’t help but to speak up, “It’s dark in here, why don’t I hold your hands while you walk?”

“Hmm, ok.” Amidst the darkness, Fu Wang quietly revealed a long-awaited smile as he reached out first and held her hand. His hands were tiny too, even smaller than hers. These hands were slender and strong a few days ago, the very hands that taught her many things, but now it’s tiny, with only three fingers holding onto her hand. For some reason, after feeling the cool touch, Shu Yu felt like her own body had gone stiff and she didn’t know why this was so.

(Sugakookie: Don’t mind me, just a note to self, Re-editing stopped here ~ 01Aug’21)

Shu Yu’s hands were warm, walking hand in hand for a while, Fu Wang’s icy cold hands turned warm but back at the Palace, when Shu Yu let go of him, you can see him pulling off the big coat and shivering. His current appearance was too deceptive, even Shu Yu who knew him inside out could only think of “Ah this little pitiful guy come into big sister’s warm embrace.”

“Ok, let me clean up. Quickly get some rest, Shu Yu.” When Fu Wang said these with the look of an adult, the cute ears on his head moved and the big tail that looked soft dangled as he entered the bath.

Shu Yu silently climbed onto the bed and lay in a position, feeling that it was a little hard to sleep. After a while, Fu Wang walked in with light steps and puts out the bright pearl, leaving only a dim candlelight. Shu Yu heard a rustling sound and tilted her head to look, seeing that he had slept in his position too, sleeping there looking like a small group.

He held the blanket tightly, as if he felt cold, perhaps because the temperature in the empty hall was a bit low for the fragile Fu Wang. Shu Yu tidied the blanket and spoke in the dark, “Fu Wang, are you cold?”

“Slightly, just a little, but it’s ok, it’s not unbearable.” Unsure of whether it’s her wrong impression, she felt that Fu Wang’s voice had a hint of a smile.

Shu Yu stayed silent for a while, climbing up while holding her blanket, covering the small child with the blanket. She then turned to go back, but as she did so, she was stopped by a small cold hand grabbing her wrist.

“Let’s sleep together tonight, but if you don’t like being so close to me, I won’t force you, but you will have to take the blanket back and put it on.” Even though he said that, his hand showed no sign of letting go.

Shu Yu reluctantly thought, that they’d be sleeping together the next morning anyway. She’ll just follow what he says, then again, he’s in this state right now, he can’t really do anything. Hmm, he’s just a small fish in a big pond now. As she thought about it, Shu Yu lay beside Fu Wang, covered in a blanket with him.

The two of them did not utter a single word but they did not sleep, one staring at the beam, one staring at the other.

”Shu Yu.” Fu Wang suddenly said.

“Yes?”

“You don’t like me, do you? I sense that you’re afraid of me, but I don’t think I’ve done anything bad to you.”

Shu Yu: “……” She had to desperately tell herself that the person in front of her is BOSS that could take a human life, in order to reign in her lecherous heart. Do you know how difficult it is to be an upright person that stayed away from low-level tastes? Little b*tch you still want to act cute?!

“If you don’t like how I was before, then the way I look now, can you accept it? If you like this more, I’m willing to be in this state.” Fu Wang suddenly said as he moved closer, reaching out and holding onto Shu Yu’s hands, enveloping his fingers between hers, holding it tightly.

“No, no it isn’t, I, I don’t dislike you haha, ha” Shu Yu stuttered as she moved back and tried to stay away but the little boy’s hand was so strong that she couldn’t break away. From being a small weakling to a strong man, he’s truly a monster. Is BOSS acting weak again?

“Believe me, I’ve never been so close to anyone else, only you.” The little boy leaned over, his sweet voice filled with indescribable temptations as it rang softly in her ear. Shu Yu was about to burst, especially when he touched her cheeks.

Little boy, please let go of big sister. Big sister feels like she’s committing a crime now, you know? It’s stressful!

If you don’t let go, I’ll do it ahhhh little devil! Even though her inner self was shouting, Shu Yu did not dare to do it =。=

She pressed her beating heart, firmly deciding to reject Fu Wang and put his hand back into his own blanket before painfully saying: “With your current look, if I really did anything to you, it’s considered illegal and that isn’t right.” Also, did a switch suddenly flip in BOSS, he’d really become spontaneous!

Fu Wang: “……” doesn’t seem to understand but seems to have understood her firm rejection, why is he so disliked by her? He doesn’t understand. Usually, if a woman was insecure, even if you can’t accept an adult man, facing a young boy like him, it’s easier to let your guard down. But for her, no matter what he looked like, she still strongly rejected him.

Shu Yu waited for a while but didn’t hear BOSS talking. She nervously thought about whether she’d refused it too directly but if she’d been more tactful, he would’ve already gone and taken off his clothes.

In the night, a soft sigh seemed to be heard, “I’m serious, I hope you like me.”

Motionless, Shu Yu whispered back: “But I really like you, I’m not lying.” She really liked this person a lot. Beyond this novel, looking at his experiences, feeling sad for him, feeling happy for him and grieving for him. But right here, she’s afraid. This was a man who portrayed himself as a gentle and considerate person. She’s afraid that she’d be deceived by him. No matter who it was, if you give your feelings out, you’ll be easily hurt by it. Therefore she can believe in him, console him, but not love him.

Hearing her words, Fu Wang thought that she’s a gentle and a soft-hearted girl. She was obviously aware of the kind of person he was, yet she still wanted to take care of him, to comfort him even when he was acting pitiful. Such a person is easily fooled. She might meet an evil person like him again, and be fooled again, Fu Wang harboured unhappy feelings.

Fu Wang stayed silent. Shu Yu scratched her head and said again: “To be here out of the blue, it’s actually quite scary because there’s no one that I know, you’ve helped me a lot. When I first got here, I had no idea what to do, if you hadn’t taught me, I’m afraid I would’ve been found out soon.”

Shu Yu recalled that when she was in secondary two, she’d imagined what she’d do if she transmigrated. At that time, with a god perspective, she’d been bursting with confidence and despised the weak protagonists in novels, feeling that if it were her, she’d definitely leave the other weak females a few streets behind. She’d be great and would be able to immediately find her life’s purpose, automatically know the best way to do things. Then she’d paste on the original character’s face, change her life, change the world and walk on the world’s peak.

But after it really happened, she realised that it’s not what it seems, she couldn’t even expect it. She can’t adapt to the uncomfortableness, her reaction rate had declined sharply, she could only feel fear in her crazily beating heart, unsure of what to do, she’s really useless. Don’t mention knowing what to do right away, she didn’t even appear in the novel at all.

Have to say that, she’s really lucky to have formed an alliance with BOSS, it’s extremely safe.

Fu Wang let out a giggle, laughing before sighing again, using his tiny hands to touch Shu Yu’s head, “I’m just kidding with you, don’t be so tense. I see that you’re restraining yourself, being nervous all the time, if this keeps up you’ll collapse. Just like a string, if it’s tied too tightly it’ll break easily. If possible, I hope that I can make you relax a little and if you can’t relax in front of others, at least in front of me, I hope that you can relax a little, don’t force yourself to be cautious.”

Fu Wang’s tiny hands had the feeling of a big brother comforting others. He’s used to showing people gentleness, this kind of warm talk, is really full of pampering, there’s also a gentle water-like healing sound, just like taking a hit to the heart.

#Everyday she is being cured by the BOSS#

“Thank you.” Shu Yu lets out her internal thank you from being embarrassed, touching her fingers again: “I wanted to say it just now but was too shy to…”

“Oh? It’s alright, you can tell me your troubles.”

“I want to touch your ears, is that alright?” After she’d said that, Shu Yu hurriedly emphasized “I don’t have any other intention, it’s just that I like these kind of furry feeling.”

“Heh~ of course you can, if you’d like to, you can touch my tail too.”

“Really?” Her voice clearly sounded happy.

Fu Wang’s smile widened. Taking Shu Yu’s hand, he placed it on his head, moving closer to her to make it more convenient for her to touch his ears.

The furry ears were as good as she’d imagined them to be, subconsciously moving whenever she touched it, it’s just too cute. Shu Yu touched the two big ears for quite some time, unwilling to let go to the point that the fur is almost gone just by touching, now time for the big tail.

The big white fluffy tail was like a small blanket that hung over Fu Wang’s body, covering almost half of his body. Even in the dark, the white hair seemed to emit a radiant glow. The touch of the tail is better than the ear, the fluffy hair is smooth and soft like satin. Shu Yu simply couldn’t let go of it. If she kept touching it like this, all the hair will be plucked off, and it’s all thanks to Fu Wang, as he’d let her touch to her desire, without saying a word.

Shu Yu thought to compromise, after seeing Fu Wang’s indulgence, she simply hugged his tail, burying her face into happiness. Unsure of what she’d pressed, she suddenly felt Fu Wang trembling. Quickly looking up, she awkwardly asked: “Am I hurting you?”

After some time, Fu Wang gave his usual reply: “No, you can continue to play, I’m happy that you liked it.” Before this, for many years, he’d never thought that this part of the beast is worthy of being loved because it represented his half-demon self, incompatible blood. In the eyes of many Demon clans, beasts with this body represented the impure and lowest, maybe she’s the only one who liked it.

Seeing the face Shu Yu made as she quietly touched the fur cushion, Fu Wang, who’d decided to show his demonisation to her, realised that he’d guessed correctly again. The only bad thing was that he’d leaked a bit. He’d thought that when Shu Yu said to touch, it’ll just be a touch, but now he realised that it wasn’t what he’d thought of, he didn’t know that Shu Yu would take such a liking to it, to the point of having intimate contact. Plus, his ears and tail are very sensitive.

So in this situation, not being able to tell her to stop, it’s really troublesome. If Shu Yu seriously looked right now, she would’ve definitely seen that BOSS’ eyes are all red. Closing his eyes and letting out a sigh, Fu Wang shook his ears uncomfortably. Shu Yu had unknowingly touched a sensitive part of his tail. Silently, he took a breath as he pulled his clothes on his chest.

At this moment, BOSS’ self-control essentially fell apart.
