Chapter 27: The Villain Senior Brother Turns Dark, the Psychotic Junior Brother Pretends to Be Blind [27]

Ye Beiyu wrapped one arm around Bai Yan's waist while his other hand let his hair down.

His fingertip then pressed against Bai Yan's lips, leaving a faint trace behind.

Ye Beiyu's gaze darkened, laced with a wild, surging frenzy of emotion.

He closed his eyes and kissed those thin lips he'd been yearning for, just as soft as he remembered them.

In front of others, his senior brother was always gentle and polite—the revered, admired grand senior brother to everyone.

But in private, he treated Ye Beiyu with nothing but pure malice, and for no reason whatsoever.

"Senior brother, only these lips of yours are so soft."

They wouldn't say those hateful words to him.

Ye Beiyu murmured softly, his fingertips tracing the collar of Bai Yan's robes.

Deftly slipping inside the robes.

He intended to reclaim everything he hadn't been able to touch all this time.

Finally, his hand came to rest in one place.

Ye Beiyu paused for a moment, then smiled again, biting Bai Yan's lip as punishment.

Still lost in sleep, Bai Yan felt a twinge of pain and couldn't help furrowing his brow with a soft groan.

He instinctively turned his head slightly, as if trying to escape whatever was hurting him.

But little did Bai Yan know, that movement was practically handing himself straight to Ye Beiyu.

Spurred on, Ye Beiyu grew even more excited, his eyes narrowing, unable to hide the madness within.

His fingertip twitched slightly.

He felt Bai Yan's body tremble.

Then he laughed again: "I forgot—senior brother, you have another soft spot here, one that won't say those words that annoy me."

"Senior brother's mouth always says things I don't like to hear, so... let this place make up for it, hmm?"

The more Ye Beiyu spoke, the heavier his breathing grew. He raised his hand, and a chain materialized in his grasp.

He should have used this Soul-locking Chain to bind his senior brother long ago, but that day Bai Yan had kissed him first, throwing him off balance for a moment.

But now it was different—he and Bai Yan had already ripped through the last veil between them.

Bai Yan also knew he wasn't the obedient little junior brother who let himself be pushed around, knew he'd been faking blindness all along, and wouldn't treat him the same as before.

But that was fine—it was his good senior brother who'd said he would wait for him.

And now, he was finally strong enough.

Strong enough to finally, openly and without shame, lock up the person he'd longed for in his heart, trapping him by his side forever!

Ye Beiyu's gaze was deep and dark, but his hands moved without a hint of hesitation, slipping the chain cuff right onto Bai Yan's wrist!

After doing all this, Ye Beiyu tugged the chain with his fingertip, confirming the man was secured, and only then did his gaze drop to Bai Yan's neck.

"Senior brother... now, you're completely mine..."

Ye Beiyu leaned down. He'd endured for so long, waited for so long, schemed for so long—all for this day!

Now Bai Yan lay beneath him, right where he wanted him.

Now that he'd thoroughly trapped his senior brother, there was no way he could hold back any longer!

A pleased smile curved the corner of Ye Beiyu's lips, his eyes filled with satisfaction and anticipation—the very thing he'd dreamed of for so long.

Once, he'd only dared to commit such transgressions against his senior brother in dreams. Now, he finally could...

"Mmm..."

Bai Yan furrowed his brow, his thin lips parting slightly as if to refuse, but it only gave the intruder an opening to slip in.

He felt as though he were trapped in a nightmare. Looking up, the once bright sky was now smothered by a mass of dark, oppressive clouds.

Between heaven and earth, he stood alone, his cultivation and magic utterly useless, his spiritual treasures and artifacts all unusable.

Bai Yan remained calm, initially looking for a way out, but the next moment, the soil beneath his feet suddenly turned soft—so soft it seemed to swallow him whole and wrap around him.

Countless vines burst from the ground, binding him tightly and hoisting him high. Several thin tendrils even crept up his wrists and ankles.

"Stop..."

Bai Yan's breathing grew ragged. Having traveled through so many worlds and played the villain so many times, this was still the first time he'd experienced anything like this.

The sensation was far too unfamiliar, too eerie.

Especially now, as the dark clouds above seemed to press down on him, crushing the air from his lungs.

Vines coiled around his neck, thinning the air until he could only open his mouth, gasping for breath.

"Ah..."

Bai Yan's pale, jade-like feet curled slightly. The clouds pressing down from above made it impossible to open his eyes, and the vines' grip left him no room to struggle or escape.

Vaguely, he thought he heard someone call him "senior brother." The voice was familiar, but he had no time to figure out who it was.

In the end, he couldn't take it anymore, and tears fell.

Rolling teardrops soaked the corners of his reddened eyes...

A breeze passed, carrying the faint sound of sobs...

...

Until finally, the moment he jolted awake from the nightmare, Bai Yan was still thinking—he'd cut down all those vines sooner or later!

Bai Yan braced his hands against the soft bedding and sat up with a jolt.

His eyes widened, his breathing heavy, and from the corner of his eye, he noticed this place seemed different from the dream.

It took him a while to pull himself together. He lowered his gaze to his hands.

He moved his wrists—no vines clinging to him, which brought him some relief.

"So... it was a dream?"

Bai Yan murmured softly, his eyes still glazed with a thin layer of mist, slightly blurring his sight.

Maybe what he'd felt in the dream had been too real, so that even now he could hardly believe it had all been just a dream.

But the familiar surroundings before him put his heart at ease.

Still, for some reason, his lower back felt a little sore...

Bai Yan looked up at the sky, wondering to himself if he'd just slept too long.

But he didn't dwell on it for long—a furry paw settled on his wrist.

Bai Yan gathered himself and turned his head to look.

It was the little fox he'd accidentally tossed aside when the nightmare had jolted him awake.

The little fox still had that same dazed, clueless look, tilting its head at him.

Seeing that Bai Yan still hadn't reacted, it took two more steps closer, sat down, and wrapped both paws around his hand, nuzzling up against him.

Faced with such a comforting gesture from the little fox, Bai Yan couldn't help his eyes softening, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

Even knowing full well that this little fox was Ye Beiyu, his heart still softened.

This little creature was just too good.

Bai Yan gently scooped up the little fox with both hands, cradling it in his arms and petting it.

He said nothing, but a calculating glint flickered in his dark, unreadable eyes.

Maybe it wasn't so bad if Ye Beiyu stayed a little fox forever.

Since he'd already turned into a fox, he might as well stay one...

The little fox let out a soft whimper, rolling over in his arms to get comfortable, revealing its soft, vulnerable belly.

Though the little creature said nothing, Bai Yan understood its meaning anyway.

Was it asking him to rub its belly?

Bai Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. In the past, he would never have done such a thing for Ye Beiyu, but now, this was just a fox.

A fox that was sweet and well-behaved, one that even comforted him after a nightmare...

Bai Yan reached out and gently rubbed its belly, then squeezed its paw lightly.

"Such a good boy."

Bai Yan's gaze flickered, and the thought he had just suppressed—the desire to keep Ye Beiyu in this fox form forever—crept back up.

His fingertips brushed over the tips of its ears.

The little creature's ears seemed pretty sensitive, and the moment he touched them, it immediately wrapped its tail around his wrist.

Just as Bai Yan was about to reach for the fox's tail, a knock at the door interrupted his movements and thoughts.

"Your Highness? Little Highness, are you awake? The Sovereign Lord said that once you're awake, you should go see him..."
