Lord of End of WorldCh2 - Dilemma

The young master hurriedly hid in the “bathroom” that the man pointed towards. The back of his hand closed the door and he turned around to find himself surrounded by porcelain white tiles and magnificent decoration. He felt like he had entered some kind of fairyland. He immediately realized that he was no longer in the Underground Palace.

For the young master who had been imprisoned for 16 years, it didn’t matter where it was. As long as he could get away from the dark, anywhere else seemed like heaven. h2Elmn

With bare feet, he slowly walked towards the washstand. Touching the delicate and smooth porcelain pot under his hand, he smiled slightly, his pair of round cat eyes curving into crescents.

Facing him was a mirror inlaid on top of the washstand, waiting for him to look up. In the mirror, he saw the figure of Gong Lixin reflected inside. Immediately, he was alert. He hurriedly took a few steps back, took a defensive posture and concentrated on his internal force, ready to fight back at any time. The person in front of him was weird, with long hair, silently appearing in the window of this room. It must be with the use of martial arts.

However, he could not pull on his internal force. The situation amazed the young master. The internal force in his dantian was almost completely exhausted and only a small trace of it could be mobilized. It would be difficult to defend himself.

In his heart, he was panicking but the young master didn’t show it on his face. He only stared at the person in front of him as he tried to find out the other’s flaws and prepared to fight. He finally got out of the Underground Palace. He could finally feel the warm brush of the spring wind, smell the fragrance of flowers, and feel the glorious nature. He must live! He will live and he will live well! PwRaAN

The teenager who had suddenly appeared opposite him also took a few steps back, posing the same way he did, staring at him without taking any action. The two men were in a deadlock for a while. The young man saw that there was no murderous intent in the other’s eyes and that they didn’t take the initiative to attack either. He slightly lowered his defense and vowed, “There lies no malice underneath, nor are you willing to tell me your intention but neither are you willing to take action. Therefore, you don’t have to get involved with me.”

As soon as he spoke and waved his hand, the young boy opposite him also spoke at the same time, their movements a reflection of the other’s. The young master looked into the other’s eyes and frowned slightly. The teenager before him also showed the same expression.

The young master was smart and upon seeing the reaction of the person before him, a speculation immediately emerged in his heart.

It turned out that it was not a window opening but in fact, a mirror with an extremely clear reflection! In other words, this strange boy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere was not someone else but this young master himself.

Realizing this, it seemed to trigger a certain kind of switch in Gong Lixin’s mind. The memory that was lurking in his head suddenly poured out like a mountain torrent. He gripped his head, gasped in pain before taking staggering footsteps and falling onto his hand. He grabbed the switch of the shower head on his way down and the cold tap of water poured over him, instantly soaking his clothes.

The young master fell into the bathtub, squatting down and burying his head between his knees, waiting for the violent pain to fade. While enduring his headache, he digested Gong Lixin’s huge flow of memory and finally realized that he was no longer in his original body inside the underground palace but was in the body of another. The situation is what one would describe as a “soul take-over”.

However, the resurrection of the soul is not the most unexpected. What shocked him was that while he was searching the inside of his body, he discovered that the boy named Gong Lixin had a pure Yin body just like he did. Not only was the body a pure Yin body but it has also recently practiced the reversal meridians dating back from only a year ago. No wonder this young man looked so feminine and delicate. If he used his body to cultivate “Yinyin Shengong”, he will no longer need to absorb the Yangyang of other practitioners and his cultivation speed will be several times faster than in the past. 6NIFmH

While thinking of all this, Gong Lixin’s memory was completely absorbed by the young man and the splitting headache from before gradually subsided. The young master opened his lips and let out a low laugh, a joyful laugh as he realized that he was no longer in Xiao Lin’s home, that he was no longer a tool for Xiao Lin’s Reverse Spirits cultivation. There was no such thing as practitioner or battles between the people of Jianghu. He did not need to train hard in martial arts in order to survive.

“Oh, it’s so wonderful!” The little master, no, it should be Gong Lixin, whispered in a low voice. He couldn’t tell if he was more confused or more at peace with this news. He could only bury his head and hold his knees tightly to calm his turbulent emotions.

“Gong Lixin, what’s wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?”

Seeing as the boy had not come out for a long time, Song Haoran knocked on the door several times but did not get any response. He was inexplicably worried so he pushed the door open to check. He found that the little teenager didn’t even take his clothes off. He was simply curled in the corner of the bathtub as the water flowed over him. He couldn’t help but pity him. His body was tight as he asked quickly about his condition. dQ9TZx

“Song…big brother? I’m fine.” Gong Lixin slightly looked up at the man in front of him, speaking hesitantly as he searched his memory.

This person was Song Haoran, a subordinate of Gong Yuanhang, Gong Lixin’s father. The Song family was a military family situated in Kyoto and when the new leader, his second uncle, took over after his father’s death, he was exiled from the family. At that time, he was far away at the border of C country.

Song Haoran’s father had the pleasure of making Gong Yuanhang’s acquaintance and the two had lived through many life and death situations. Gong Yuanhang was afraid that Song Haoran would be persecuted by his second uncle so he took the risk of offending the Song family and took Song Haoran under his wing, letting him focus on his future. Today, Song Haoran was only 26 years old but with his own effort and the support given by Gong Yuanhang, he sat in the high position of Major General. He was also the only candidate to inherit the leadership of A province’s military region from Gong Yuanhang.

This person was very close to the Gong family. Although he often stayed in the army, he had his own room in the Gong family house. When there was no task, he would return to live with the Gong family. Gong Yuanhang also treated him like his own son. wDpidX

The original Gong Lixin was extremely disgusted with Song Haoran who took his father’s love. He almost never talked to Song Haoran all year round. As the leader of the military region, Gong Yuanhang also used the military’s method of teaching at home. He was very strict with his young son and Gong Lixin was more than fearful of him. Gong Lixin’s sister, Gong Xiangyi, was kind, lively, and cared for him but she was nine years older and the generation gap was too big. Not only that, although they were siblings, they were born from two different mothers. Although they were half-siblings, they still had the same blood of Gong Yuanhang flowing through them. Perhaps, it was due to these differences that made it hard for them to get along. Moreover, when Gong Lixin was ten years old, his mother died of an illness and since then, he became more taciturn and arrogant.

In the Gong family, Gong Lixin was a transparent existence. He did not like to be close to others and he refused to get along with others. But now, he was soft and approachable and even called the other man “Song big brother”. It made Song Haoran pause in contemplation.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

The young man’s thin white shirt was already soaked, making it see-through, revealing the skin underneath. The two red cherries in the middle of his chest stood erect from the cold water, his skin cool and tender, twitching and tightening from the cold. A pair of large and round cat eyes were soaked with water, the long curls of his eyelashes glittering with droplets and making him a pleasing sight to see. In addition, he had let out a soft call as if attracting a beast in the jungle, making the scene dangerously beautiful.

Song Haoran’s face was dark. He didn’t dare look at the boy in the bathtub who resembled a water fairy. Instead, he forced himself to open his eyes and squat down in place. AlENzn

The shower head was still open at full blast, continuously pouring cold water against the youngster’s back. This caused numerous droplets to fall on Song Haoran’s arm with rolled up sleeves, making him feel cold.

“Damn, taking a cold shower in such a way.. do you want to get sick?” Song Haoran frowned, only to find the extremely pale teenager looking at his stern expression, face apparently frozen with a confused look. He pulled a big towel from the bath rack, wrapped the boy in it before carrying him out of the bathroom and gently setting him down on the bed.

As for the part of him that was enticed, Song Haoran naturally ignored it. The youth looked effeminate and anyone couldn’t help but be attracted when directly faced with this kind of scenery. After all, everyone loves beauty and he is no exception it seems.

“Thank you, Brother Song.” Although the man’s tone was severe, Gong Lixin still heard the concern in his voice. There are family, friends, and other people who care about him. This feeling was sweeter than the first time he ate a sweet-scented Osmanthus cake. Gong Lixin’s sincere gratitude, his big pair of slightly bent eyes, and the sweet expression on his face made him irresistibly cute. Zu2EAe

Song Haoran’s heart pounded again and he unconsciously softened his voice as he whispered, “No thanks needed, just don’t harm yourself in this way in the future.”

Saying this, he picked up a corner of the towel and wiped the teenager’s hair. He caught sight of the wet shirt under the bath towel and sighed again. “Wipe your hair. I will go out and buy some clothes for you. I’ll be back soon so don’t run around. Understand?”

“I understand. Thank you, Big Brother Song.” Gong Lixin nodded his head in promise.

Although Xiao Lin adopted him and gave him the position of a young master, he was not kind to him. He usually ignored him or beat him. Gradually, he learned to obey in order to protect himself. The difference between the obedience given to Xiao Lin and this person was that one was forced while the other was freely given. This person really cared for him. He was good at reading other people’s emotions so Gong Lixin had no doubt about this. 6CEiJM

It turned out that as long as one took the initiative to communicate with the teenager, the teen wasn’t as introverted as he first appeared. On weekdays, he always rushed in and out of the house and was always busy so there was little time for concern over the teenager. It seems that he misunderstood him as he didn’t try to understand him in the first place. Was this pure and cute appearance his true face? If it wasn’t for today’s incident, he would have never understood the real him!

Song Haoran knew his heart and was confident in his vision and judgement from his time in the military. He was sure that Gong Lixin’s current appearance was not fake but his true nature. The crystal-clear eyes hid nothing. The youth, wrapped in a large bath towel sat on the bed, revealing only his wet head. He looked at the small face and returned the other’s gaze. In Song Haoran’s eyes, the other truly looked aesthetically pleasing. This also softened his heart to the point that he couldn’t help but lean over and pinch the young white cheeks as he whispered, “Hey, wait for Song Big Brother. Song Brother will return soon.” In fact, Gong Lixin was very cute and it wasn’t bad to have such a little brother. As he walked out the door, Song Haoran’s mouth curved up, revealing his joyful mood.
