Entering a Split Personality — Chapter 49

Xiao He lost a night’s worth of sleep again. He felt that if he went on like this, forget about cultivating and becoming an immortal, he’d probably drive himself to death. 

The sky brightened, and he really didn’t want to stay in Bluephoenix Palace, nor did he want to see Yun Qing and Hong Shuang, so he simply packed a few things and got ready to take a walk around.

He didn’t really have a target in mind. Even if he only walked around and saw the scenery, it would still be much better than sitting there and brooding.

But he hadn’t expected that he’d run into someone just when he’d come out of his courtyard and was passing through the forest that led to the palace gate.

The familiar figure made Xiao He’s heart tremble. He was just about to open his mouth and call out to him when he suddenly froze.

The man turned his head. His long, snow-white robe fluttered in the air, and his blood-red hair scattered unbound. His brows rose, and an easy, bewitching smile curved his mouth and filled the depths of his eyes.

“Little fellow, do you still want to escape?”

It was Hong Qing…

Xiao He’s head buzzed. His first reaction was to think, how could this man appear here! This was Bluephoenix Palace, on Bluephoenix Peak, the most impenetrable place on the entire Forestfirst continent. He...how could he break into this place? 

Xiao He’s eyes were full of shock, and he couldn’t react at all.

But the red-haired man didn’t give him a chance to reflect. He strode forward, reached out his long arms and easily gathered him into his embrace. Then he bent his head, his eyes full of tenderness. “Darling, after running away at the critical moment, how are you going to make it up to me?”

Xiao He opened his mouth and was just about to speak when Hong Qing blinked, and kissed him without a trace of politeness.

“Ah…” Xiao He’s eyes abruptly widened.

Hong Qing took the chance to invade, turning a light kiss blazing hot. 

How could Xiao He have ever suffered a treatment like this before? He wanted to struggle free, but Hong Qing grasped his wrists with one hand, unexpectedly making it so he couldn’t move a single step.

Xiao He wanted to lift a foot and kick him, but Hong Qing seemed to see through his thoughts, and glanced at him from the corner of his eye. Xiao He didn’t see him do anything, but he suddenly lost all his strength. He couldn’t even stand steadily, not to mention kicking him.

And seeing him unsteady on his feet, Hong Qing grew happier. He simply picked Xiao He up in a princess carry, forced his head back and kissed him more penetratingly and thoroughly. 

Xiao He had really never seen such a scoundrel before. His cultivation base wasn’t high enough, and he didn't have enough magical strength. No matter what, he couldn’t struggle free.

He couldn’t move his body, but his mouth could still bite. But as soon as this idea sparked in his mind, Hong Qing threatened him softly. “If you dare bite me, I’ll tear off your clothes and have you in the woods right now.” 

Xiao He’s jaw, which was just about to close down on him, unexpectedly stopped. He stared rigidly at this arrogant red-haired man. He really didn’t dare to doubt him at all.

He would absolutely do as he said. Xiao He couldn’t afford to provoke him.

But...if he kept kissing him like this, if...if his master saw him…

“Ah...let...mmh…” Xiao He let out a few stifled, broken sounds, but his mouth was occupied, so his voice sounded more like a moan.

Hong Qing bit him harshly on the lips and said lowly, “If you keep shouting, I won’t be able to restrain myself anymore.” 

Xiao He was simply about to give up. He couldn’t resist and he couldn’t speak. All he could do was glare at him desperately, wishing he could chop him to pieces.

Fortunately, Hong Qing still had to guard against Hong Shuang, so he didn’t dare make too much noise.

Once he’d kissed him enough, he held Xiao He and said softly, “Come with me to the demon world, okay?”

Xiao He could finally speak. He said furiously: “No!”

Unfortunately, after being kissed like that just now, Xiao He’s voice was still a little rough. His words of refusal, which should’ve been powerful and resonating, lost their force out of softness. 

Hong Qing couldn’t resist licking Xiao He’s lips again. He said ambiguously, “If we don’t go, should we go find Yun Qing?”

When he heard his master’s name, Xiao He’s eyes abruptly widened.

Hong Qing blinked, his expression innocent, but the depths of his eyes were full of undisguised malice. “You’re Yun Qing’s little disciple, right? Why don’t we go tell him that you, his disciple, have always liked him, longed for him and wanted to be kissed silly by him?”

With his thoughts exposed, Xiao He’s eyes were full of panic and shock. “No...I don’t.” 

“You don’t?” The smile in the depths of Hong Qing’s eyes grew stronger, and his voice grew sweeter, softer and more unhurried as well. “In the demon world, you looked at me with eyes itching for me to tear your clothes straight off. When I kissed you, what were you thinking? Looking at these features that are exactly the same as his, what were you thinking? You were so aroused you got into such a state; if I said that you had no feelings for him, who would believe it?” 

Xiao He’s throat moved slightly out of nerves, and he opened his mouth and said anxiously, “That’s not true, I wouldn’t treat Master…”

“You don’t need to explain, you can hide your thoughts. I’m just telling you that either you come with me to the demon world, or we’ll go find Yun Qing. You can see whether he’ll believe you or me.” 

“Oh, that’s right,” Hong Qing was all smiles, “I’m his younger brother, and his twin.”

Xiao He couldn’t say a single word.

No wonder they looked so much alike, and no wonder they were so different in temperament.

It turned out they were actually twins.

Dazed, Xiao He was lost in thought. Hong Qing moved close to his ear, still softly poisoning him. “Little fellow, accept the situation and move on a bit. My brother’s terribly inflexible, and he can’t possibly accept you. How much would you suffer, being in unrequited love with him? In any case, I look exactly the same as him. It’s fine if you take me to be him. I don’t want the heart in your chest. You just have to take a little more initiative in bed and make me happy, and I’ll make you feel good as well. How about it? Don’t take a loss.” 

Xiao He pursed his mouth, still not making a sound.

Hong Qing saw hope. His lips curled, and his rough voice was like a demon from hell, incessantly tempting him. “I see that you’ve liked him for quite some time, but with that insensitive personality of his, he can’t sense it. How hard must it be for you, thinking of him day and night, so close and yet so far? We’re all men here, we don’t need to have so many scruples. We’ll each take what we need and make each other happy. Why not try it?” 

Xiao He’s hands curled up slightly. After a long time, he asked softly, “You won’t tell him, right?”

“No worries.” Hong Qing couldn’t take how pleasing he looked with lowered eyes, and felt a strong desire. He couldn’t resist kissing him again on the neck. “You just have to listen to me, and I definitely won’t say anything.”

Xiao He didn’t make a sound, but his tense body slowly relaxed.

Hong Qing’s eyes lit up. He lifted Xiao He’s chin and covered his lips.

Xiao He didn’t resist, and only trembled slightly, like a soft little kitten, so well-behaved it made Hong Qing fall in love.

Hong Qing couldn’t take it anymore. He kissed him hard, then picked him up and went straight down the mountain, crossing the border without delay. 

He had a mansion in the demon world. He seriously didn’t waste a single moment. He opened the door, walked straight in, went into the bedroom and tore open the curtains over the bed. He threw Xiao He onto the bed and pressed him down, unbearably impatient.

At first, Xiao He had still been a little nervous and uneasy, but by the time they left Bluephoenix Peak and came to the demon world, he'd completely gotten over it. 

His feelings for Yun Qing were destined to be hopeless all his life.

In that case, why should he torment himself like this?

Unable to let go, unable to ignore him, pining day and night, sleeping with difficulty through the long nights.

Rather than driving himself mad, it was better to let go of everything.

Hong Qing didn’t love him, and was only seeking the pleasures of life, but when he looked at Hong Qing, he could find a little satisfaction.

This was his master. No matter how he looked at him, he was his master. What he thought of, couldn’t obtain and constantly desired now lay in front of him.

He could have it, and he wouldn’t be despised or interrogated!

So why refuse?

Xiao He lay on the big red bed and gently hooked up a corner of his mouth. A relaxed smile blossomed on his face, instantly bringing a tinge of affection to his pretty features. It was actually so seductive.

Hong Qing’s heart jumped, and he fiercely kissed those rosy lips, without the slightest reservation left.

Xiao He had already shed his clothes. His fair arms seemed a little thin and weak because he was driven to distraction just now, but at this moment, they wrapped around Hong Qing, and only made the man feel that they were light as a feather, boneless and bewitching.

Hong Qing bit him on the lips and said lowly and hoarsely, “Xiao He, I really want to swallow you up.”

As his words fell, the red curtains swept over them like waves.

Xiao He felt a little pain at first, because Hong Qing was really too rushed, fast and rough. It was as if he’d been thirsty for a long time and finally tasted sweet dew, or as if he’d been hungry for a whole winter and finally caught some prey. He didn’t have the slightest patience, ramming straight in, without resting or stopping. He was seriously just like he’d said, itching to eat Xiao He up.

He wasn’t the slightest bit warm or gentle, only purely demanding and possessive, but he made Xiao He feel that it was good this way.

Such a fast rhythm and such a wild entanglement made him hurt until he couldn’t reflect, and made him excited until he couldn’t think of anything.

Those unspeakable feelings, and those intentions that couldn’t be acknowledged, were all thrown to the back of his mind at this moment.

Xiao He couldn’t remember anything anymore. He only looked at the man in front of him, looked at his refined features, his fervent eyes and his constant desire for him.

This kind of feeling made him exceptionally satisfied, so satisfied that nothing mattered anymore.

The two of them stayed in bed for a long time, until Xiao He couldn’t move a finger anymore. Hong Qing had finally satisfied himself a little, but looking at Xiao He's obedient appearance, his stomach stirred a little again. 

But when he considered the state Xiao He was in, he really didn’t dare to torment him anymore. Not to mention he was afraid Yun Qing would wake up; when that time came, he wouldn’t be able to play anymore.

He reluctantly kissed Xiao He. When he was cleaning Xiao He, he couldn’t resist burying himself inside him again. It felt so good it made his skin tingle. He said he didn’t want to bother him again, but he bothered him one more time.

And Xiao He passed out, to the point that he actually slept until the sun was high in the sky the next day.

When the sky grew bright, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his heart chilled.

He was done for... He hadn’t returned all night, his master was sure to find out.

But when he had just gotten out of bed, he found that he was actually in his bedroom in Bluephoenix Palace.

It turned out Hong Qing had sent him back.

Xiao He let out a breath of relief, feeling at ease. 

In the days that followed, Xiao He lived in a very disciplined manner.

He didn’t know what his master was busy with, but his classes, which had resumed, stopped once again. And the only two times he met his master, he saw he was with Hong Shuang.

There were pitifully few words between them. Xiao He said hello, his master made a sound in reply, and then there was nothing more.

Xiao He felt lonely and disappointed, standing there in a daze and watching them go out to have fun together.

But fortunately, he didn’t lose sleep anymore.

Every night, Hong Qing came to find him, and they’d wrap around each other desperately in the house in the demon world. 

The pain Xiao He suffered in the beginning turned into complete enjoyment.

Hong Qing’s character was poles apart from Yun Qing’s, but a character like this was fine as well.

He was simple and straightforward, and if he had anything to say then he said it. He made it so Xiao He didn’t have to think too much, and didn’t have to have any misgivings or apprehensions.

The only thing was that he was a little too excessively demanding…

He practically went into heat as soon as he saw him, hating that he couldn’t tear off his clothes on Bluephoenix Peak, and hurry up and enter him as they crossed the border. Time after time, he toyed with him until Xiao He’s whole face was red before they had even gotten to the house in the demon world.

And once they’d returned to his territory, he wouldn’t even do any foreplay, ramming in as soon as the door closed.

Xiao He sometimes felt that the number of times they’d done it against the door was even higher than the times on the bed…

They were really completely debauched.

But...this made Xiao He feel that his days weren’t so painful anymore.

He could sleep well, and his appetite improved as well. His body was satisfied, so his mind relaxed, and he didn’t think so much anymore.

After half a month had passed, Yun Qing finally appeared again.

Xiao He had been completely tired out last night, so he was still sleeping in bed. He felt dimly that someone had pushed open the door and entered, but he didn’t have much of a reaction.

He opened his eyes blearily, and when he saw familiar features, he frowned slightly and said, “Don’t...do it again, I’m too tired.”

Hong Qing took a wicked pleasure in listening to Xiao He’s voice, and he itched to make him call out every night until he went hoarse. He always gave him some soothing medicine to drink afterwards, but it needed a while to take effect, and he’d tormented Xiao He until two in the morning last night. Xiao He had only slept for four hours until now, so how could he be completely recovered?

So his voice at this moment was still soft and hoarse, even carrying a faint hint of coyness.

Yun Qing’s brows creased, but his thoughts were elsewhere.

At Xiao He’s age, he was at his most virile. It wasn’t hard to guess what kind of dream he was having. Yun Qing just didn’t know who he was dreaming of.

Yun Qing had been busy with the calamity-reversal spell for the last few days, which consumed a lot of energy. He always healed himself afterwards, but he was mentally exhausted. Every time the sun went down in the west, he’d fall completely unconscious.

Yesterday, he’d finally gotten through the hardest step. As soon as he woke up, he couldn’t resist coming here to take a look at Xiao He.

He heard Hong Shuang say that Xiao He’s mental state was very good these days, and he wasn’t as beside himself as he was before.

Yun Qing was pleased, thinking that Xiao He had finally moved on from his feelings for Luo Fei.

It was indeed good to be young. They always recovered quickly.

Yun Qing sighed slightly, taking advantage of the first thin rays of morning light to lean over and look at Xiao He.

The boy had fair skin and delicate features, and he seemed more quiet and obedient soundly asleep. Yun Qing had missed him terribly, and when he saw him now, he couldn’t help feeling a little moved.

He reached out and touched him for a moment. Xiao He’s eyes opened dazedly, and he reached out and wrapped his arms around his neck very naturally.

Yun Qing was startled, but Xiao He had already closed his eyes and kissed him.

Thick eyelashes, a small, exquisite nose, and those red lips that were so alluring it was as if they were glazed with honey. It all made Yun Qing unable to move his gaze away.

He didn’t know what kind of dream Xiao He was having. The depths of Yun Qing’s eyes held a trace of a smile. He took the boy by the waist with one hand, lowered his head and covered his lips.

Xiao He let out a stifled, broken moan. Yun Qing opened his mouth and gently wrapped around the tip of his tongue. A torrential current suddenly surged up from the bottom of Xiao He's heart, and though his eyes were closed, his body trembled softly. He couldn’t help clinging to Yun Qing.

He knew this was Hong Qing, but he felt like today’s Hong Qing wasn’t quite the same.

But what did it matter? It was fine as long as he felt good.

He’d already gone through a round last night, but Xiao He felt unexpectedly aroused. Receiving a kiss like this, he actually felt a bit more excited than usual.

After just a while had passed, Xiao He couldn’t really control himself anymore. He tugged on “Hong Qing’s” hands, wanting him to shed the clothes that were in the way.

But today’s “Hong Qing” was really annoying. He kissed him until his head spun and he saw stars, kissed him until heat rushed through him, but he just wouldn’t touch him. This feeling couldn’t satisfy his itch at all, and it made him feel hotter and hotter.

Xiao He really couldn’t take it anymore. He simply wrapped his arms around the man's waist, without even taking off his clothes, and pleaded in a low voice, “Go in, I want…”

As his words landed, Yun Qing’s eyes suddenly darkened. He didn’t want to startle Xiao He from his dream, and he was afraid that he’d be upset once he woke up. He couldn’t help but call out lowly, “Xiao He.” 

His faint, cool voice trickled into his ear like a clear spring, suddenly waking Xiao He from his delirium.

He hurriedly opened his eyes, and when he saw the man in front of him clearly, his heart fell into ice water.

Hong Qing's name is 红清 (Hóng Qīng), containing the same "Hong" as the one in "Hong Shuang," and the same "Qing" as the one in "Yun Qing."  红 means "red," and 清 means "clear." I suppose it makes sense for his red hair, and his fiery personality. 

Bluephoenix Peak is named 青鸾峰 (Qīngluán Fēng). 青 is a color that can be blue when referring to the sky, green when referring to plants, and black when referring to cloth. Here, I assume it's blue, because when I searched up pictures of luan they were all blue. 鸾 is a Chinese mythical bird. I translated it as "phoenix," because it looks similar, and there's like literally no other common mythical birds in English 😅. 峰 means "high peak." 

Here's a picture of the luan.
