“Companion… mate.” It took Bai Ren a while to react to Mo Yi’s words.
Indeed, their previous intimate actions were what companions would do. No, even closer than companions!
Having been alone for so many years, Bai Ren hadn’t realized this before. And now, hearing Mo Yi express his liking so openly, Bai Ren’s heart couldn’t contain his joy.
Mo Yi said he liked him, and he liked Mo Yi too, so they both liked each other, of course they could be companions!
Bai Ren’s heart had no qualms about it. He, being a deity, naturally wanted to make himself happy.
He hadn’t realized he liked Mo Yi before, so he didn’t continue his actions. Now that he had finally figured it out, even if Mo Yi regretted it, he wouldn’t let go.
Seeing Mo Yi grabbing his collar and kissing him, Bai Ren hugged him back, responding warmly.
So, those feelings were because of liking someone. Liking someone felt like this, making even a deity bow down…
As Bai Ren marveled, he enjoyed Mo Yi’s initiative.
After a while, when Mo Yi wanted to pull away, Bai Ren held onto the back of his head, not letting go until he felt Mo Yi struggling to breathe, then he let go.
It had been a long time since he had been kissed like this, Mo Yi felt overwhelmed. Mainly because it seemed that even breathing wasn’t necessary for his companion in this lifetime, and he couldn’t compare to that.
With an undeniable blush on his cheeks, Mo Yi gently exhaled and asked Bai Ren, “So, is that what you mean? Do you agree?”
Mo Yi was referring to the matter of being companions, and of course Mo Yi knew his answer, but Mo Yi was just being mischievous, wanting to hear declarations of love.
“What do you mean by agreeing?”
Bai Ren asked with an effort to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.
Mo Yi, upon hearing this, narrowed his eyes in a somewhat dangerous manner.
“Whether you agree or not doesn’t matter. I declare that we are now in a companion relationship, and we are each other’s only companions!”
Mo Yi deliberately emphasized the words “only companion,” staring firmly into the man’s eyes. He knew Bai Ren liked him, without a doubt.
Sure enough, upon hearing Mo Yi’s assertive words, Bai Ren not only didn’t get angry but the smile in his eyes couldn’t be contained.
“Alright.” Bai Ren held Mo Yi tightly, sighing contentedly, a satisfaction he had never felt before filled his heart.
Mo Yi felt pleased at the sight. See, after saying that, his companion was indeed happy.

The two lovers held each other tightly, and soon, their clothes were scattered on the ground. The heat in the room kept rising, filled with warmth and love.
In the moment of union, Bai Ren left a permanent mark on Mo Yi’s body, a faint octagonal imprint flashing on Mo Yi’s shoulder, fleeting yet eternal.
If the previous mark was only to let others know that this human belonged in his protective sphere, then the mark Bai Ren gave to Mo Yi now was accompanied by a deeper covenant.
He knew how short a mortal’s life was, which was clearly not enough for him. He hoped the person he loved could accompany him for a long time.
Therefore, Bai Ren willingly entered into a covenant with Mo Yi, willing to share his life with him.
He wanted Mo Yi to be with him forever, until the end of his existence, until they could no longer exist in this world, he didn’t want to be apart from him.
He didn’t know why he had such intense feelings for a mortal he had only been with for a short time, but that didn’t affect his decision.
And his heart seemed to tell him that making this decision, he would never regret it.
“My love.”
Caressing Mo Yi’s cheek, Bai Ren kissed him deeply.
Although Mo Yi was extremely happy to hear his partner say he loved him, after several rounds of not eating, even with his good stamina, he couldn’t hold on any longer.
Mo Yi’s stomach grumbled, and Bai Ren paused, kissed his forehead, and got up on his own initiative.
“Let’s eat something first. The meat pie was fresh out of the oven. It must taste really good.”
Mo Yi pointed to the tray on the table, and Bai Ren reached out and brought the tray over. Then he helped Mo Yi up.
Seeing his partner so considerate, Mo Yi couldn’t help but grin foolishly. But as he took a bite of the meat pie, a look of regret appeared on his face. “It’s cooled down, what a pity. But the taste is still alright. It’s very late, let’s just make do.”
Hearing this, Bai Ren frowned.
“No.” This was his partner, how could they just make do? He only wanted to give Mo Yi the best.
So, Bai Ren tried to use his power to generate some heat to warm up the food on the plate, but he miscalculated and ended up burning the entire tray into charcoal in an instant.
“This…” Mo Yi swallowed hard. Now there was nothing left to eat.
Seeing that he had only made things worse, the man’s expression turned ugly, and he stood up directly. “Wait for me.”
After saying that, Bai Ren left. It was just some human food; he would definitely bring back fresh food for Mo Yi.
Mo Yi could guess what his partner was going to do. Feeling both helpless and touched, he put on a coat and obediently waited on the bed.
At this moment, there was a sudden urgent knocking at the door.
At first, Mo Yi didn’t want to pay attention, but then Gregory’s anxious voice came from outside, “Mo Yi, are you there? The holy seal is malfunctioning. Please come and take a look. Please, I beg you to help me!”
“The holy seal!” Hearing the mention of that pendant, Mo Yi couldn’t sit still anymore. He quickly put on some clothes and opened the door.
He saw Gregory sweating profusely, his face filled with worry, clutching his pendant, which was emitting bursts of red light.
“Look, my holy emblem is reacting. I remembered a family saying that there’s more than one holy emblem, but it takes two to validate. Can you take yours off?” The blond man spoke as he took off his pendant and held it in his palm.
At this moment, Mo Yi also felt his pendant heating up. Thinking of Gregory mentioning it was something passed down in their family, he realized the significance.
Maybe, he knew something was going on here.
So, he took off his own pendant and handed it to Gregory.
However, in the moment Gregory took Mo Yi’s pendant, his other hand suddenly swung outward, and a dagger shot out from his sleeve, directly stabbing towards Mo Yi’s neck.
Mo Yi instinctively stepped back while trying to block with his hand, but the blade still cut through Mo Yi’s palm.
Blood splattered onto the pendant Mo Yi had just taken off, and suddenly, the scene before Mo Yi blurred.
And before he left, he noticed that Gregory’s eyes had turned silver-white at some point, devoid of any emotion, as if they were the eyes of a soulless machine.
“Damn it!”
The scene before him had returned to the bathroom where he had left, and Mo Yi was frantically pacing.
What was going on with Gregory? This person was too suspicious. Mo Yi’s heart was filled with a sense of danger. Now that he had left, what about Bai Ren? Could he be in danger?
But now, his pendant had been tricked away. How could he go back to the past now?
Mo Yi slammed his hand on the sink heavily, blaming himself for not being vigilant enough. He had thought Gregory was just an ordinary person, even if something happened, he wouldn’t be his opponent. He hadn’t expected that a series of coincidences would trigger the power of the holy seal and send him back.
Blood oozed from the palm that had been cut earlier, but Mo Yi didn’t care about the pain, as his concern for his partner had taken precedence. Unbeknownst to him, the noise in the bathroom had attracted someone else’s attention.
“Mo Yi!”
The bathroom door was slammed open, and a man stood at the door with a cold gaze. Seeing Mo Yi inside, his expression softened.
God knows how anxious he had been when he couldn’t find Mo Yi in the bathroom earlier and then searched everywhere without finding any trace of him.
Bai Ren thought Mo Yi was about to leave silently again, disappearing without a trace.
Luckily, he reappeared.
Bai Ren still held the medicine box he hadn’t put down before. He had intended to question Mo Yi about where he had gone, but his attention was drawn to the blood on the sink.
“What happened? It’s just a small wound, isn’t it?”
Bai Ren said anxiously, immediately grabbing Mo Yi’s wrist to examine it carefully. That was a not insignificant wound on Mo Yi’s palm, obviously caused by a knife.
Without hesitation, Bai Ren cleaned and disinfected the wound, carefully bandaging it.
Mo Yi had wanted to say something, but seeing how serious his partner was, he didn’t know how to speak up for a while.
Bai Ren’s movements were gentle and careful, his head always lowered in silence, but he gave Mo Yi an overwhelming sense of oppression. From Mo Yi’s perspective, he couldn’t see the crimson in the man’s eyes, nor could he imagine the turmoil in Bai Ren’s mind at the moment.
In the moment when he touched Mo Yi, Bai Ren already felt the deep bond and imprint between them.
An imprint, it was indeed an imprint!
He remembered clearly that hundreds of years ago, when he and Mo Yi first got together, he did leave an imprint on his beloved’s body, wanting to share his life with him.
But later, Mo Yi disappeared, and unable to find him, Bai Ren chose to sleep and wait. When he saw Mo Yi again, there was no imprint on him, and he seemed to no longer recognize Bai Ren.
Bai Ren had thought that perhaps what he had once possessed in the past was just an imagined dream, or maybe his beloved had experienced something and been reincarnated.
But now it seemed that neither was the case. He was sure that something had happened during the brief time when he couldn’t find Mo Yi.
The messy clothes, the traces of kisses on the collar, the unmistakable scent that belonged entirely to him emanating from Mo Yi.
A possibility that Bai Ren had never considered before was now placed before him.
So, whether it was five hundred years ago or now, the person standing in front of him had always been the same.
It wasn’t reincarnation, it wasn’t disappearance, it was crossing through time!
