Han Li trembled. His ash blue skin glistened with beads of sweat and Graham found himself enticed. He leaned in, pressing his lips against a tender nape, arms tightening around a thin waist.

He hadn’t much forethought when he pulled the half-demon in his arms, because in this position, it was very difficult for them to kiss, and for Graham to funnel divine energy into his lips. And yet, he felt quite pleased with this arrangement; pleased with the way that Han Li’s back slotted against his chest.

The half-demon made a small noise of complaint, craning his neck back to look over his shoulder. “What are you doing?” 7AYxgy

Graham’s voice was low and sultry. “What do you think?”

It had been over two weeks. And within that time, Han Li’s condition continued to persist; his demonic features refusing to retract despite the ample divine energy that surrounded him. Graham thought that if he could dispel the miasma bit by bit, there would be no need to burden Han Li with their usual, more aggressive method.

Or rather, Graham did not enjoy the idea of forcing his tongue down a limp, unconscious body.

But Han Li had woken, and was now squirming in his lap, his demonic appearance still present and in need of quelling.

Was it wrong to feel a little…excited? Perhaps so. But Graham was in the mood to indulge. After all, the past two weeks had been a whirlwind of activity and Graham had done enough mental gymnastics that left even him tired. Finally, Han Li had woken, giving him something to feel content about.

A little respite in the tumultuous whirlwind of unpleasantry.

Ah, though, Graham supposed, it might not be as pleasant for Han Li. A pity, really.

It did not stop him from running his fingers over Han Li’s exposed throat, angling his neck back further. His lips, a darker shade grey-ish blue parted slightly and Graham wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip. vYlnhi

When their lips pressed together, Han Li let out a small yelp, a moment of hesitation and complaint as he tensed from contact. But he quickly melted into the touch, his body pliant and receptive.

Even the scent of his miasma was strangely sweet. Not the sickly kind that came off a desire demon, and not quite like the oppressive presence that came from a wrath demon either. It was an aura that was uniquely Han Li’s. Now, more than ever, Graham noted the particularities of the person in his grasp.

He pressed his tongue in further, savoring the way Han Li received him, parted for him and stilled when Graham ran his tongue over sharp fangs. qgVAeS

Han Li felt as though he was melting in Graham’s touch. The painful ripping that festered in his chest turned into a feverish tingling. Holy energy funneled down his throat and he gulped it down greedily.

And when Graham kissed him, Han Li felt the unmistakable curve of a smile on Graham’s lips. He whimpered, air stolen. A wide hand slipped under the oversized shirt that he wore; of course, it was Graham’s. Even the sweatpants that he wore were large. And absently, he couldn’t help but think about his underwear too— Graham had surely changed and cleaned him while he was unconscious…

“…Mngh…” he groaned into the kiss. His mind was fluttering; Han Li was in clouds.

Graham’s hand trailed upward, tickling the expanse of his stomach. Something cold and metallic grazed his skin and Han Li recalled the ring that the saint often wore. LfBQFV

He pulled away, his head still muddled. But Han Li had on an expression of apprehension and hesitation. “This…We should not do this.” And though his blood sang with heated desire, there was a part of him that did not want to interrupt the grief that Graham surely felt.

A part of him knew that Graham’s heart was not for him that—

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

And that he— at best, was but a replacement for Aoibhinn. Or worse, an outlet for Graham to vent his feelings.

But when the Saint of Eternity peered up from his curled locks, his eyes dark and lips just slightly curved. What kind of fool would Han Li be to deny him? anSzCV

“Han Li. Look at yourself. Of course we must do this.”

When Han Li had referred to the matters of the heart, Graham referred to the matters of the body. The saint gathered Han Li into his arms, turned him around so that they were face to face, gaze locked.

Han Li frowned, his eyes narrowing at the saint despite seating himself in Graham’s lap, without even trying to escape.

But he spoke his feelings clearly, his voice slightly accusing. “Aren’t you just playing with my feelings?” His hands found themselves on Graham’s shoulders. But he did not dare move any further, fearful of stirring the fire that burned in his belly. uA d2P

Graham’s smile turned wry. Since when did this person become so easy to read? “That…is not my intention. But perhaps you are right.” He would be an imbecile not to notice Han Li’s feelings. Leading the poor boy on would only make him the rightful bearer of the title of ‘asshole’. And yet he wanted just that. It was the only thing that gave him respite, the one light that shone within a torrent of headaches and heartaches.

“…”

Silence elapsed between them.

The air should have been awkward and yet Han Li wanted nothing more than for Graham to hold him, to allow him to lie on the saint’s body. Or maybe listen to that soothing rhythm of his heart. Kiss him senseless; even if it was purely an act done out of necessity. CxrA6h

It was Graham who broke the silence, his hands trailing down to Han Li’s thighs. The touch was light, and Graham was ready to retract it if necessary. “Would you prefer if I called the Saint of Shields? He is available at the manor. Miguel is a much better exorcist than I. Perhaps the experience might not be pleasant, but it would be more effective.”

Han Li instinctively snarled at the thought, his stomach churning with disgust. No, he would not allow that. Could not allow that. “If that man comes even close to me I will—“ tear out his heart and devour it whole.

He stopped himself, mouth clamming over the sharp anger that he felt. His heart hammered with a need for violence. No, that wasn’t right either. Han Li needed to control himself, he needed to recall what it was like to be human.

Graham sighed, his expression complex, and so utterly captivating with the slight furrow of his brows, gaze cast downward. There was a golden spark in his deep eyes, a sign of divine power. “Or if you could find a way to quell your demonic powers by yourself, that would be most ideal. I will call in Charity and Iszac at the earliest convenience and have them re-tune your artifact. But for now—“ Ast5cy

“Kiss me,” Han Li demanded, his hands slowly coiling around the fabric of Graham’s shirt. His heart thundered and wanted nothing else. If his feelings would be hurt or ruined as a consequence then so be it.

So be it. Let him be Graham’s if only temporarily, if only partially.

“…” Slowly, the Saint of Eternity leaned in. Impatient, Han Li met him halfway with bruising force. His fang caught on Graham’s lip and soon he tasted sweet, delicious copper. Graham met his eagerness with equal force; the bite of divinity was bright and scorched his insides, leaving him feeling boneless.

But Han Li wanted more. He wanted all of Graham, so much so that he could cry at the thought of losing him. Knowing that Graham would allow someone else to cleanse his demonic powers— that was unacceptable!  bg9LMj

His clawed hands draw lines around Graham’s neck, his fingers wrapped around curled locks of hair. Closer, more, until neither of them could even breathe, left gasping for air.

And when Graham tightened his grasp on his thighs, Han Li loved it and wanted more.

Please, more, he begged.

“If you insist.” Graham uttered between their heated breaths. f0ysZw

Oh, had he said that out loud?

Han Li hummed approvingly, back arching when he felt calloused fingers slip under his shirt and trail over his spine. It hurt. The burn of divine power was deliciously bright, making his eyes prick with tears.

Not enough, he still wanted more.

Han Li broke their kiss, if only to gasp for breath. His ruby eyes bore that demonic glow with a sheen of tears that threatened to spill, a line of saliva hung off his lips and his ash blue skin bore a very enticing darkened hue; flushed and glistening with dewy sweat. His body shook and he did not know why. His soul ached terribly and he felt confused. Fractured. 3sI7eA

“G-Grams. Graham.”

“Yes?”

“Please.”

“Please what? I am listening.” lRaL3d

Hold me. Touch me. Help me. Make me right. Make me whole— 

Han Li burned with shame. His mouth hung open but he couldn’t say a thing.

Graham smiled at him, so utterly charming that he was. When he leaned in, he kissed Han Li’s cheek, where tears had spilled. His breath tickled Han Li’s skin. The saint uttered something, low and soft and Han Li was sure that he heard it wrong.

“As you wish, my heart.” ubeHPS

  1. sigh till when do I need to suffered this tormenting angst drama… I get it.. Han Li is young but the way he’s acting looks so cheap to me… And GRAHAM!!!… Urghh…!! He’s an ASSHOLE inside and out… Like.. Stop playing with Han Li feelings!! Damn it!!😡

    I just hope for Han Li to give up on his feelings for Graham and stay away from him as I could see that he’s being led around by nose by that assholey!! It’s frustrating!! I feel like I want to come inside this story and kill both of this stupid characters…!!☠️

    At first I’m kinda expecting some growth for Han Li and maybe for Graham too but… All I can see is two dogs in heat🤦‍♀️

    Overall… This story is good for venting your anger and stress towards some stupid characters… If u ever want to release your stress.. I recommend reading this as you will need to curse some of it… 😂😂

    • Hm, I hope you realize that I, the author, do read these comments and perhaps you should word your complaints in a way that takes that into consideration.

      For one, Han Li isn’t ‘lead by the nose’ by Graham, his feelings are not Graham’s responsibility. He made a lot of decisions himself and he is also responsible for his own emotions.

      And just because the character growth was not to your liking, does not mean that they do not exist. I’m not sure what you read in the previous chapters, but Han Li is not a replacement for Aoibhinn, in fact, this entire arc was written as Graham’s arc for letting go old, long-dead emotions. And Han Li coming to realizing the breadth of his own feelings towards Graham and also slowly being more at ease with his demonic self.

      Thanks for reading the book up to this point but if the tropes that are present in the book are not to your tastes, you don’t need to read any further. Please take care of yourself and have a nice day.

  2. So he admits it… in the heat of the moment, but still. Even if in the subsequent chapters, Graham makes up his mind about Han Li, he’ll have one hell of a task convincing his little demon that he isn’t just a replacement. Btw, is Han Li’s thirst for holy energy a good sign of his soul being mended or is it just other king of thirst?

    Thank you for the chapter!!!

    • u__u alas, that task will be a great on, i don’t think han li will be easily convinced.
      o w o;; w-what kind of thirst— I wonder indeed
      thank you for reading!!

  3. Waaaaaaahh 🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆

    Is it possible that Han Li have to stay in a demon form because his human soul has been badly hurt? I’m not against him staying like this for some time 😌

    And baby Han Li seems quite desperate for some contact with the one he loves, even though he knows his feelings aren’t being reciprocated yet… Grams, you better treat Han Li like a treasure later 😭🔪

  4. I’m likeee bruhh. Grams didnt decide yet? Like bruh ugh just gyahhh im so screeeeehhh. Ang labo mo grams pls dude just end Han li’s pain

    Thankies ofr the chapter~~

  5. I-uh.. I am shocked by how great Graham was in this. I know I usually sh!t on Graham being an asshole but this chapter alone is full of growth for both of them, let alone the chapters leading up to this.

    the maturity that Han Li has when deciding to continue even though he might not have Graham’s love.. the assurance I felt Graham subtly giving Han Li.. was just chef’s kiss

    thanks for the chapter <3

  6. Graham acknowledgment of his feelings for Han Li. ❤️ He’s less than an asshole than he believes

    Poor Han Li believing his a substitute is sad

    • TT____TT g-graham has some issues but he’s really not a bad person at heart! idk why everyone thinks he is… well, I guess he can be kind of selfish sometimes

  7. Hehehehe, oh Graham, using “quelling Han Li’s demonic side” as an excuse~~

    the way Han Li “received” him and “parted” for him 😏😏😏😏😏😏😏

    okay okay I should stop looking at your words like that 😂😂😂

  8. Abohinn was his Sunshine, but Han Li is his heart… You can live without sunshine in your life, but, your heart is what keeps you alive, you can’t live without it. I hope Han Li is immortal because of his demon blood, or maybe Graham loses his immortality, I just want them to be happy together for as long as they can
