In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 298: A Hunt Beyond the City

Besides, he did not actually dislike Shang Qinghua as a person.

What he disliked was the man’s domineering way of doing things.

Clearly there were better ways to resolve matters, so why was this man so unwilling to listen to him?

Yue Mingxuan found it puzzling, but he had no idea what went on in Shang Qinghua’s mind.

In the end, he could only let things take their natural course.

Shang Qinghua then released Yue Mingxuan and said, "My head hurts. Massage it for me."

His tone carried the unmistakable weight of a command.

Yue Mingxuan felt utterly helpless.

Still, in order to keep the man before him from stirring up more trouble, he had no choice but to compromise and obediently start massaging his head.

His hands were extremely gentle.

Perhaps because he was so tired, Yue Mingxuan gradually grew drowsy as he give Shang Qinghua a massage until he was nearly asleep.

Seeing how exhausted Yue Mingxuan was Shang Qinghua did not insist on anything further.

Instead, he simply held him a little tighter and carried him over to the bed so he could sleep.

During this period of time, Shang Qinghua himself had been quite worn out as well.

Rong Zishen seemed to be preparing for some major move.

Although Shang Qinghua had caught wind of it, he still had no clear idea what the other man was actually planning to do.

Yet there was one thing he knew with absolute certainty: whatever Rong Zishen intended, it would surely be harmful to Yue Mingxuan.

From the very first time he had met Rong Zishen, he had already sensed that this person was by no means kind or trustworthy.

But Yue Mingxuan still seemed to know nothing at all, which only made Shang Qinghua even more uneasy.

If one day Yue Mingxuan truly ran into trouble, Shang Qinghua feared that he might not even understand why it had happened.

There was only this one person he cared about.

He had no wish to see him die just like that.

So he had to find some way to stop Rong Zishen.

"So tasty, so tasty!" Even in his dreams Yue Mingxuan was far from well-behaved.

He seemed to treat Shang Qinghua like a roast duck and happily devouring him.

His small mouth opened and closed around Shang Qinghua’s smooth skin and even giving it a couple of bites.

At first Shang Qinghua did not think much of it.

He simply lifted a hand to wipe the saliva from his face, although well... that was a little disgusting.

Still, could this be considered Yue Mingxuan taking the initiative to kiss him?

The thought made him feel somewhat wickedly amused and he even considered waking Yue Mingxuan up.

But the next words Yue Mingxuan murmured made him instantly furious.

Yue Mingxuan muttered that Brother Qinglei was the best.

Brother Qinglei?

Since when had Yue Mingxuan become so close to Rong Qinglei?

Shang Qinghua’s expression immediately darkened.

When had Rong Qinglei managed to get so entangled with Yue Mingxuan?

How had Shang Qinghua known nothing about it?

And that form of address was so intimate, yet Shang Qinghua himself had never once received a "Brother Qinghua." Treatment from him.

However, seeing Yue Mingxuan’s contented expression as he slept, the anger in Shang Qinghua’s chest gradually faded a little.

Yue Mingxuan had indeed been very tired lately.

Perhaps those words were nothing more than meaningless sleep talk.

Shang Qinghua still believed that, in Yue Mingxuan’s heart, his own place remained very important.

Of course, Yue Mingxuan might occasionally murmur someone else’s name as well, but that would only be temporary.

One day he would hold Yue Mingxuan’s heart firmly in his palm and never allow anyone else to take it away.

Thinking of this, he tightened his arms around Yue Mingxuan and murmured beside his ear, "No matter what happens, you belong to me. No one can take you away."

"Alright—"

In his dream, Yue Mingxuan seemed completely unaware of anything.

He simply replied happily with a cheerful agreement.

Perhaps in that dream it was Rong Qinglei telling him about some delicious place they were going to eat.

Shang Qinghua still felt a faint sourness in his heart.

While holding Yue Mingxuan in his arms, he adjusted himself into the most comfortable position he could find.

Before long, he too gradually drifted off to sleep.

It was a night entirely without dreams.

Recently, Yue Mingxuan had been rather negligent with his training.

He was beginning to wonder if it was time to resume cultivating the Ninefold Celestial Mystery.

After all, that technique was extremely important to him.

It was the only way he had to uncover the secrets surrounding Consort Wan.

He truly wanted to know who she really was and what exactly had happened to her.

But Rong Qinglei had come to see him again and Yue Mingxuan simply could not bring himself to refuse.

Every time Rong Qinglei appeared, he used delicious food to tempt him.

Knowing perfectly well that Yue Mingxuan could never resist the lure of good food, he succeeded every single time.

It was truly infuriating!

While cursing Rong Qinglei silently in his heart, Yue Mingxuan still obediently followed him out to eat.

That said, Rong Qinglei always managed to find the most delicious dishes.

The moment the food appeared, Yue Mingxuan’s appetite would be thoroughly awakened and he could never stop once he started.

"So, what are we eating today?" Yue Mingxuan asked eagerly.

"Today I’ll take you outside the city to go hunting," Rong Qinglei suggested.

Over the past few days, he had been diligently practicing his hunting skills and at the same time he had been improving his cooking skills as well.

The two of them had already eaten their way through nearly everything in the city.

Still, Rong Qinglei always needed some excuse to spend time with Yue Mingxuan.

He was quite certain Yue Mingxuan would not refuse such a proposal.

Sure enough, the moment Yue Mingxuan heard the suggestion, he looked so delighted he practically jumped with excitement.
