Dao Of The Salted FishCh102 - Responsibility central with Lin Yijun

Thank you to Silent Reader for the kofi!

While Wen Zhihao was sleeping or otherwise relaxing, Lin Yijun was far from being able to rest.

He was de facto-in-charge of the tournament preparations. Not out of want, but out of necessity: if not, the discussions would be endless.

To recognise the fact that the tournament was replacing the war, the tournament was to be held at the original flower plain—the ravine itself was to be incorporated into the competition stages.

The location was suitable because it was away from major mortal towns and there was a lot of space—this was in part why it was originally chosen as the confrontational area. qf8stc

Lin Yijun ‘only’ had to manage the tournament preparations: it was other cultivators doing the building. But with multiple different sects involved, he had meetings day and night, liaising with hundreds of cultivators. A big temporary tent had been set up on the plain for these meetings.

There were the competitor sign up lists, there was the planning of multiple combat stages, the seating areas, the infirmary, the boards to show who was fighting who, the schedule…

Given how long cultivators lived, they could have argued for months on the details. However, since many of them wanted to fight each other as soon as possible, it took only three days for the architectural schema for the tournament stadium to be grudgingly approved by the representatives of every contributing sect.

At that point, night had fallen. After Lin Yijun handed the architectural plans to the relevant cultivators who wanted to take charge of the construction, he ended the meeting.

Some cultivators left, while others remained in the tent to chat. Lin Yijun was one of those who left.

Outside, he took a deep breath of the chilly air.

Walking swiftly away from the tent, Lin Yijun relaxed as he took another deep breath. He didn’t need the calming stone: the peacefulness of the open night sky was more than enough.

A heavy hand suddenly pressed down on his shoulder from behind. gywAqd

Zhou Sheng reached out for Lin Yijun’s sleeve, but then his hand dropped again. “The other day, before I kissed you…what were you going to say?” a03gfu

Lin Yijun cleared his throat. “What are you implying?”

“You said that you liked…something. Instead of waiting for you to finish, I kissed you.”

“Oh.” Lin Yijun looked down. “I was planning to say that I liked you.”

With those words, Zhou Sheng’s heart tightened. He had known that Lin Yijun wasn’t the kind of person who went around kissing other cultivators, but then the complete lack of intimate interaction afterwards—admittedly due to their busyness—had led to the growth of doubts. Hj6 Sd

But now those doubts were dissipating. Zhou Sheng let out a breath. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“Why haven’t you said anything?” Lin Yijun countered.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“As the older one, shouldn’t Lin Yijun be the one to speak first?”

Lin Yijun huffed. “Haven’t I spoken already?” He reached out and grabbed Zhou Sheng by the waist. The feeling of Zhou Sheng was mostly unfamiliar. mBZxnI

Lin Yijun wanted to get to know it well.

His heart thumped rapidly in his chest as he dared to press his forehead against Zhou Sheng’s. “Zhou Sheng… I like you,” he whispered. “I’m thankful to have met you.”

Zhou Sheng’s eyelids lowered as his gaze dipped down. He twisted the front of Lin Yijun’s robes in his hands. “I like you too, Lin-shixiong…though I hated you for a bit before.”

Lin Yijun huffed. He tilted his head and pressed a kiss onto Zhou Sheng’s lips. Lips buzzed with sensation: it was just as exhilarating as the first time. But in this kiss, Lin Yijun was gentle— NL7drd

Until Zhou Sheng’s lips parted, and his tongue swept across Lin Yijun’s lips. Lin Yijun’s own mouth parted. Their tongues slid against each other, rough, yet slick.

Heat grew between them. Breaths came in pants as hardness grew below.

“Uugghh, Lin-shixiong,” Zhou Sheng moaned, trying to pull Lin Yijun closer to him.

“Wait, wait,” Lin Yijun mumbled. “Let me get out…” Reluctantly pulling away from Zhou Sheng, Lin Yijun pulled out a special abode from this spatial ring. The house grew from miniature size to full size in a second. The door opened on Lin Yijun’s command. 5dzPt4

Not sure who dragged the other into the house. The door closed and locked itself. Clothes dropped on the floor. Black hair pooled on the bed.

Sleep wasn’t on their agenda.

The next morning, two impeccably dressed cultivators walked out of Lin Yijun’s portable house. Their qi twisted together harmoniously, and after the night, Zhou Sheng’s cultivation had risen closer to Lin Yijun’s.

After Lin Yijun returned the house back into his spatial storage, he couldn’t help but reach over to neaten Zhou Sheng’s hair. vkqPzG

“I’m a demonic cultivator, stop it,” Zhou Sheng grumbled, batting Lin Yijun’s hands away.

“Now that diplomatic relationships have improved, you must allow me to tour your sect one day.”

Zhou Sheng snorted. “They still might try to kill you,” he said plainly. “They’ll definitely still try to kill me.” It couldn’t be helped: Zhou Sheng had (purposefully) stepped on a lot of toes, and killing each other was part of the experience of demonic sects.

Lin Yijun gave him a side-long look. “I won’t let that happen.” XB60EM

“I don’t need your protection,” Zhou Sheng scoffed.

“As your shixiong, isn’t that what I’m supposed to do?”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“You—you—” Zhou Sheng turned his head away. “I have something to do. See you later.” Zhou Sheng hurried away.

Lin Yijun’s heart swelled with warmth as he watched Zhou Sheng’s receding back. IRd175

Once Zhou Sheng disappeared from view, Lin Yijun’s expression became cold again. He walked swiftly to the meeting tent, already so noisy in the morning.

Cultivators of Nascent Soul and above noticed the changes in Lin Yijun’s aura.

“So you really became Dao Companions with that Zhou Sheng,” another senior cultivator from the Golden Sun Sect said, a little acerbic.

“So fast,” a senior Blood Sect cultivator said with a sneer. 9wKQOY

Lin Yijun’s cold expression did not change. “Does that not make me suitable for coordinating the tournament? If you dare touch my Dao Companion, do not expect me to be vegetarian.”

Lin Yijun might not be the strongest cultivator in the meeting tent, but his sword was deadly. The air grew tense.

“You two argue another time!” a dark-blue robed cultivator interrupted. “My sect has collected an initial list of names to compete, and we can all be ready next week—”

Lin Yijun gave the cultivator an unimpressed look. “We are not starting the tournament next week, unless you honourable cultivators have all learned the methods of construction overnight…” FfPpUq

 

 

How did you like that? 😏

  1. Of course I love it! What do you mean what I think?! but… Wen Zhihao, let’s speed up, even Lin Yizun caught you guys up already →_→ 🤭

    Thanks for your hardwork!

  5. I loved it!💕 Aaii the side CP is further ahead of the main when it comes to the spiciness, but at least our fishy couple will always be no1 in fluffiness! Thanks for the chapter🌺

  6. yes!! love this chapter 💕

    hurm..so zs cultivation level rise a bit? did ly act as a furnace at some point? or all the way? hehe

    • 😏😏😏😏

      In this universe, the Golden Sun Sect practices a form of dual cultivation where the person with the lowest cultivation actually benefits the most; the person with the higher cultivation doesn’t actually advance much at all. That was why Sun Fuyu was hesitant to dual cultivate with Wen Zhihao, because only Sun Fuyu would benefit. In that sense the stronger cultivator (Lin Yijun) indeed acts as a sort of furnace 😂

  7. They are like “all bites, no bark”.. 😂

    Wen Zhihao.. oh Wen Zhihao.. learn something from them.. 😂

    • ….hehehe I bet they bite in bed 😂😂😂😂

      Wen Zhihao has seen adult content! He’s just….too relaxed for this enemies-to-lovers sort of spiciness 😂😂😂

  8. Thanks for the chapter!

    I find it really funny that the main couple is cruising on a quiet river with NSFW activities, but are more advanced emotionally, while this tsuntsun couple is still in awkward land but managed to have quite the interesting evening, lol.

  12. Thanks for the chapter! LY putting the A into “acerbic”… I suspect that he will become famous as a leader of the cultivation world.

  13. Though I am really happy for them – ARE YOU KIDDING ME AUTHOR?? THEY KISSED LIKE 2 CHAPTERS BACK!!!

    Thanks for the chapter!!

    • cough cough when there are sparks, there are fires 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and technically! They’ve known each other for a lot longer!!!

      Thank you for reading!!

  14. Aw, I love them together. They’re so sweet. Especially Lin YiJun defending Zhou Sheng at the meeting.

    Is it really fast when they’ve been dancing around each other for years? 😅

    Thanks for the chapter!

  16. FINALLY!!! not only did they confess but they even became dao companions and not the innocent kind like our dense MC.🎉

  18. Wahhh…. The story has become so lovey-dovey and sticky I feel like I’m being stuck to sweet mochi …(๑´๑)♡.... But sometimes I just feel like I'm being forced fed dog food _:(´ཀ」 ∠):_

  23. Hay más fuego entre los maestros, entre LY y ZS, que entre nuestra pareja salada… y eso que ya llevan más tiempo como pareja dao que LY y ZS…. uhm… la actitud de ellos al día siguiente me hace difícil saber quien fue qué…. pero si cambiaron en la noche… ¿quién perdió primero la virginidad?… hump… esa intriga me mata.

    • Zhou Sheng and Lin Yijun are spicy 🤣🤣🤣🤣

      Who topped and who bottomed? Hmm I think they switch (reversible) but you can imagine anything you want ^_^

  24. AHHH I didn’t see this coming but I loved it omg they had their sexual tension swelling for like 10+ chapters and two lifetimes of it, it really was their time 😂😂😂

    I rolled a bit when LYJ said ” If you dare touch my Dao Companion, do not expect me to be vegetarian.” kyaaa ~ so valiant so handsome~

    Thanks for the chapter author-sama 💕

  25. Shut up author!!. You only gave me half the meat and still have the face to ask about my opinion?!! grits teeth it’s good dammit!!

    Thanks for your hard work -._-.

  28. I wonder if there’s a way to completely hide ones aura 🤔 I don’t like people knowing about my business…

  30. So with Lin Yijun and Zhou Sheng; who’s the gong and who’s the shou? I felt that Zhou Sheng was the shou. 🙂

  32. That Instant House, Just Add Qi would be so useful for camping trips (for a couch potato like me) 😂

    Thank you for the spice! A nice contrast to the usual rainbow-coloured marshmallow fluff that we know and love 😋

  33. I liked it! Make love, not war! Only – I have to go back and read about the kiss between Sheng and Yijun! What chapter was thet? I was drinking wine last night and must have missed it…

  34. in life i want to be like Wen Zhihao, living with minimal work responsibilities and surrounded by cute creatures with plenty of napping opportunities.

    instead i feel alike Lin Yijun, we get responsibilities out of necessity :’> best of luck, comrade. may we get our naps akxbakxbsn
