Chapter 775.8: Extra 8: A New Flame
Xuan Wushe: “Why don’t you speak?”
Lin Zhan said helplessly, “Your Majesty, could you please stop interpreting this story from such a strange angle?”
Xuan Wushe: “….”
Why was he strange?
Lin Zhan’s script was written, and Xuan Wushe naturally followed the previous agreement and found many actors to rehearse according to Lin Zhan’s script.
Lin Zhan wrote many scripts, and he watched every play with gusto. However, the only story that he ever recorded with a recording wall was 《Butterfly Lovers》.
Xuan Wushe and Lin Zhan spent more and more time together. Even though it did not affect what he should do as the East Sovereign, it also caused dissatisfaction among many people, the most dissatisfied of which was Fairy Zhi Wei.
“I have tried so hard to send him to this position. Was it just to let him be with a male pet?” Fairy Zhi Wei said.
Fairy Zhi Wei was particularly dissatisfied with Lin Zhan, but she did not attack him, just pretending that he did not exist. And privately, she sent people to find someone within the Nine Lands who fully conformed to Xuan Wushe’s aesthetics, hoping to replace Lin Zhan’s position.
After all, the people she found would always listen to her.
Lin Zhan seemed to have countless fantastic ideas in his mind, and Xuan Wushe was also very interested in the “modern society” he talked about.
However, Lin Zhan added, “According to our era, many people do not believe that there are immortal cultivators in this world, let alone ghosts and demons. The spiritual energy there is thin and barren, and few people can truly cultivate the Dao. Even ghosts were a bit weaker than the ones here.”
Xuan Wushe: “But you guys are very smart. Apart from immortality, you guys have pretty much achieved everything else that cultivators can do.”
Planes, cannons, atomic bombs, etc. are no less lethal than him.
Lin Zhan did not deny this and said very proudly, “Naturally. The crystallization of human wisdom for thousands of years is far more powerful than the world of cultivation. What we advocate is humanities and art. We are passionate about improving the quality of life, rather than just living for the sake of living.”
Xuan Wushe felt that when Lin Zhan mentioned his past life, his eyes would always light up.
Xuan Wushe couldn’t help but ask, “Do you want to go back?”
Lin Zhan replied without thinking, “Of course I do.”
Xuan Wushe paused for a moment, then said with a serious face, “You want to go back that much?”
When Lin Zhan saw this, he smiled and said, “After all, no matter how bad it is, it is still my hometown. My friends and relatives are all there. In a place like this, there is always no sense of belonging.”
Just as he could leave the Lin family for many years, he never missed the plants and trees of the Lin family.

“You have never regarded this place as your home,” Xuan Wushe said softly. “This place is too big.”
Lin Zhan sighed softly, “Your Majesty, there are a lot of things I want to say but I dare not say them. Talking too much will always make people disgusted. I don’t want Your Majesty to dislike me, so I won’t say it.”
Xuan Wushe looked at Lin Zhan, “Are you blaming me for not being good enough to you?”
Lin Zhan shook his head, “How can it be? Your Majesty has been very kind to me.”
Xuan Wushe frowned, “Then why do you still want to go back?”
Lin Zhan looked at the ethereal Lotus Garden. “Although I want to go back, I know that I can’t go back anymore. Maybe it’s because I can’t go back that I want to go back even more. In fact, after I left that day, Fairy Zhi Wei sent someone to pass a few words to me. What she meant was roughly that those who use sex to do things to others will not get to enjoy their days for long. In fact, now that I think about it, what Fairy Zhi Wei said was not unreasonable.”
Xuan Wushe’s face darkened a bit. “Serving people with sex? My mother doesn’t say such things.”
Lin Zhan was stunned and looked at Xuan Wushe. “Do you think it’s me who is sowing discord?”
Xuan Wushe: “Maybe someone else is fanning the flames.”
Lin Zhan narrowed his eyes, “So what do you think, Your Majesty?”
Xuan Wushe: “Guangling, I really can’t understand you more and more.”
Lin Zhan: “What can’t you understand? Your Majesty and I have been together for three or five years. Your Majesty should know more or less what kind of person I am. What kind of person Your Majesty is, I know better than others. Your Majesty, everyone likes the new and hates the old, and you are the same.”
Xuan Wushe paused for a moment, his eyes became sharper. “Are you blaming me?
Lin Zhan: “I dare not.”
Xuan Wushe looked at Lin Zhan for a moment. “Ah Li is my mother’s person. I don’t know his purpose of coming to my side yet, so I will naturally have to observe him for a while.”
Lin Zhan lowered his eyes. “Your Majesty, as long as you’re aware.”
Ah Li was met by Xuan Wushe at a family dinner.
This was a descendant of the nine-tailed fox clan. Although he only had three tails, his cultivation level was not low. When Ah Li first appeared, he performed a sword dance at the banquet. His body was soft and yet strong. His appearance was stunningly beautiful, and his personality was cheerful and enthusiastic.
On a whim, Xuan Wushe picked up the scabbard and exchanged a few moves with Ah Li in front of the court. Ah Li did not show any timidity and faced Xuan Wushe’s sword. He was naturally not as good as Xuan Wushe’s swordsmanship. So in the end, Ah Li threw away the sword and spread his hands playfully begging for mercy.
“Your Majesty, let’s not fight anymore. I am no match for Your Majesty. Aren’t you bullying me?”
Xuan Wushe: “I never bully others, otherwise you would be lying down and being carried out now.”
Ah Li laughed. “Then do I have to thank His Majesty for showing mercy?”
Xuan Wushe: “Yes.”
Ah Li was like a treasure. He could play the zither, play chess, brew wine, and had superb skills.
Xuan Wushe had three major hobbies in his life. One was listening to the zither, the other was playing chess, and the third was wine tasting.
But it just so happened that Lin Zhan couldn’t do any of these three.
He tried to learn to play the zither, but even until his fingers bled, he couldn’t make a normal sound on the zither at all. He also tried to learn to play chess, but he was really not made for it. Those black and white pieces all turned into stones in his mind, and it was all messy.
Brewing wine didn’t even need to be mentioned.
Only true food cultivators could brew the most delicious wine.
Lin Zhan had never been very concerned about his cultivation, and he was not a food cultivator, so naturally he could not make the most authentic wine.
But Ah Li knew all these things and did them very well.
Xuan Wushe kept Ah Li in the palace as a guest and gave him the status of wine supervisor.
Since Ah Li arrived, Xuan Wushe spent less and less time with Lin Zhan.
Lin Zhan naturally noticed this, developing a sense of crisis, but also feeling that he might be a bit laughable.
Xuan Wushe was not the kind of person who changed his mind when he saw something different. He thought he understood Xuan Wushe. Even though he stayed with Xuan Wushe as a male pet, this identity was merely in name.
Lin Zhan was still somewhat confident as to whether Xuan Wushe had him in his heart and what he regarded him as.
If a person like Xuan Wushe didn’t like him, how could he let Lin Zhan be so presumptuous?
But half of this confidence collapsed when Lin Zhan saw Xuan Wushe brushing away a petal that fell on Ah Li’s hair in the Thousand Blossoms Garden.
Ah Li was dressed in red and looked like a passionate flame. He held Xuan Wushe’s hand and jumped and laughed loudly.
Lin Zhan looked at the backs of these two people and felt a little dizzy.
“Lord.” The maid looked at Lin Zhan worriedly. “We’d better go back first.”
Lin Zhan asked her, “How long?”
The maid shook her head and did not dare to speak.
Lin Zhan smiled. “I thought he really was busy with government affairs, but in the end, it was because he had this little beauty by his side.”
The maid replied, “That’s not the case. Your Majesty has never spent the night at his place.”
Lin Zhan snorted. “It’s already like this and he hasn’t spent a night there. That’s what’s wrong.”
The maid didn’t dare to say anything anymore.
In the end, Lin Zhan didn’t let Xuan Wushe see him.
He came quietly and left quietly.
“His Majesty has been with Young Lord Ah Li a lot during this period.” One of the secret guards he bribed reported, “Some time ago, His Majesty even sent someone to fetch the zither from the Wan family and gave it to Young Lord Ah Li. Yesterday, he was with him again. After playing chess for a whole day, I heard that there was no winner and the game would continue today.”
Lin Zhan smiled. “His Majesty is very interested.”
The title of “Young Lord” was so much higher than that of “Lord’s Servant”. Although this was not a term for conferring a title in the harem, in fact, the royal family of the Nine Lands often regarded “Young Lord” as a transitional title for eventually jumping to the title of a male Empress.
After the secret guard left, he smashed the cup on the ground.
Xuan Wushe came to him later, which was when the earlier conversation happened.
Lin Zhan talked about his hometown and said he wanted to go home.
Xuan Wushe knew that Lin Zhan was blaming him, so naturally he felt a little unhappy.
Lin Zhan had become more and more disobedient recently, and he no longer said those nice words to him. Xuan Wushe used to feel relaxed physically and mentally when he came to Lin Zhan’s place, but now that he came here again, he just felt like his heart was blocked by something. It’s as if he was tired, and I always felt uncomfortable.
Xuan Wushe and Lin Zhan broke up unhappy.
When Xuan Wushe doted on someone, he could go to the sky to grab the moon for him and go to the sea to find pearls for him. When Xuan Wushe deliberately wanted to ignore a person, he could completely forget about him.
Xuan Wushe felt that Lin Zhan had been so arrogant recently that he dared to kick him out of bed. In anger, he never went to Lin Zhan’s place again.
Anyway, Ah Li was also quite interesting. Although he had no no intention of getting involved romantically with Ah Li, it was good to have such a funny person around him.
Xuan Wushe waited for Lin Zhan to humble himself and curry favor with him again.
However, this time, he hadn’t seen Lin Zhan for three months.
The Monster Hunting Feast kicked off at this time.
As the ruler of the East Land, Xuan Wushe naturally had very little free time. He originally thought of going to see if Lin Zhan had softened his attitude recently and show his presence in front of him, but as soon as he got busy, he had no more time.
He not only had to select participants from all the various families, but also contact all the regions. After all, this was a major event in the Nine Lands.
