| The Paternity Guard (PATERNITY) |
“What are you doing?” Ying Qi watched as Shi Qi lay motionless on the bed while Yin Ji’s hand rested on his abdomen in an ambiguous posture.
“What do you think I’m doing? Isn’t it obvious?” Yin Ji leisurely withdrew his hand to get up and walked to Ying Qi.
Yin Ji grabbed his hand to stare at the scars and bloodstains on it fiercely, “Even without my permission, you still dare to break the rope?! I’ll make sure you never get out of bed again!”
“If you let go of Shi Qi, I will never get out of bed again.” Ying Qi forcefully pulled back his blood-soaked wrist while not looking at him and walked straight to the restrained Shi Qi with his posture somewhat awkward.
His internal strength had been sealed since being kidnapped, so he couldn’t muster the strength to undo Yin Ji’s acupoint.
Ying Qi opened the blanket and covered Shi Qi’s body with his eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
“What are you two looking at each other? Disgusting! What’s the point of two grown men staring at each other? Come with me.” Yin Ji said angrily and reached out to grab Shi Qi.
“Yin Ji, you promised to let me see Brother Qi. How about tonight?” Shi Qi suddenly proposed the condition.
Yin Ji sneered. Although he had changed back into men’s clothing, there was still a seductive aura about him, attributed to the purple robe hastily thrown over him and revealing a large expanse of chest and delicate collarbones. This scene would make ordinary men swoon. But the two in front of him wished they would never see each other again.
Yin Ji lifted Shi Qi’s chin and touched it, “I find you more tempting when you’re silent. You dared to sneak out tonight without my permission, yet you boldly made conditions to me! I don’t agree!” Yin Ji lightly rejected Yong Shi Qi’s proposal and turned around, “You, come with me, or I’ll disable him immediately!”
Ying Qi clenched his fist but tucked the corner of the quilt for Shi Qi before he left.
Outside the courtyard, a new batch of guards had replaced the ones who had been drugged with the sound of dragging the guards growing fainter and fainter. Shi Qi lay on the bed with his mind in turmoil.
He had never been stuffed with so many things before.
From waking up and seeing Ying Qi, to the attitude of that demon towards Ying Qi, to him being suppressed and locked in the neighboring courtyard and the possibility of what would happen to him.
When silence fell, Shi Qi’s thoughts abruptly stopped.
It was too quiet, so quiet that he could only hear his own breathing. Could it be…
“Should I tie a rope around you so you don’t disappear again?” A low, angry voice sounded in his ear with a hand brushing over several places on his body to release his acupoints.
“Master, I’m incompetent but thank you…” Before he could finish his words, he was silenced by a pair of hot lips. Xing Beiming somewhat roughly pressed him down on the bed and bit the mouth that spoke infuriating words then opened his teeth and licked inside and out until Shi Qi’s mouth was red and swollen before releasing it. Their eyes met, both filled with emotions but they were in the enemy’s lair.
Xing Beiming angrily pinched his bare chest and unknowingly pinched the tender red spot. Shi Qi clenched his teeth to suppress the impending moan.
“Eat this.” Xing Beiming took out a pill and stuffed it into Shi Qi’s mouth. Shi Qi swallowed it and instantly felt a surge of heat throughout his body. After a moment of cultivation, his internal strength returned.
“Where are your clothes?” Xing Beiming looked around but didn’t find any clothes to wear. Instead, he found several familiar clothing fragments on the ground and bed, looking bloody.
Remembering that he had just seen Shi Qi being grabbed and taken out of this room, it was undoubtedly the work of that demon.
Shi Qi was thinking about wrapping himself in the blanket since there were no clothes to wear when a jacket with fur trim was thrown over. It was Xing Beiming’s.
Shi Qi dumbly stood while holding the clothes for a while before Xing Beiming snatched them and put them on him and scolding, “Fool, do you want to catch a cold in this weather? There’s no one to take care of you! Stretch your arms!”
Shi Qi mechanically raised his arms and when Xing Beiming struggled to tie a broken belt into a knot, he finally came to his senses, stuttering a thank you, “Th-thank you, Master, I-I can do it myself…” But the clothes were already on, and Xing Beiming glared at him. A small jacket timely fell from the roof, probably from one of the Shadow Guards, so Shi Qi had to accept his goodwill. He put on the jacket then took the weapon handed to him by his Master and wanted to rush to the next courtyard.
“Master, Brother Qi is in the next courtyard, and Yin Ji, that demon is also there.” Shi Qi knew that Xing Beiming wouldn’t abandon Ying Qi, but considering Ying Qi’s previous appearance, he thought it would be better for him to go personally.
“Don’t worry, Lin Canghai is here. You go with him as for Yin Ji, I’ll deal with him.” Xing Beiming directly opened the door.
A firework was released from the roof and a group of shadows rushed into the courtyard to scatter. Lin Canghai jumped down then looked at Shi Qi, “Oh! It’s him! Come with me!”
“Master!” Although this was his Master’s command, in his heart, he didn’t want to leave Ying Qi.
“Go. A’Chun is with Ying Qi, so don’t worry.” Xing Beiming turned back to look at him before he flew to the next courtyard.
Shi Qi wanted to follow but was grabbed by Lin Canghai, “My mission is to safely take you back to the fortress, so little brother, don’t let myself be unable to lift his head in front of Xing Beiming in the future and go with me obediently!”

In the next courtyard, the forces of good sects and evil sect were facing off.
In front of Yin Ji, there were only three people, one of whom was Zuo Wuxiao. It is estimated that the other two were the other two subordinates of Blood Demon Sect. Despite facing dozens of top experts in the Martial Arts World, they remained unfazed.
Zuo Wuxiao stepped forward and smiled slightly. His naturally handsome appearance added to his charm. If not for knowing he was from Blood Demon Sect, one would think he was a noble son from somewhere.
Looks can indeed be deceiving!
“Are you planning to outnumber us? Although we have no Shi Yiions, if word of this spreads, you will be ridiculed by the younger generation of the Martial Arts World!” Zuo Wuxiao said with a smile.
“To deal with you demonic cultivator, everyone must be exterminated! There’s no need for fairness! Kill one, gain one!” Zhou Datong, with a face full of anger and a bad temper, pointed at them and cursed.
“Hmph!” Yin Ji sneered coldly. Without anyone making a move, Zhou Datong covered his mouth and screamed in agony as blood gushed out to reveal his tongue that had been cut.
“Lord Xing, you’ve come here today and I bet that you already know who I am. Do you think you can defeat me with just your own strength? Back then, the Martial Artists in the whole world joined forces to besiege us. After a fierce battle, they sent out three top experts to defeat my predecessor and push him off the cliff. Don’t overestimate yourself!” In his words, he completely disregarded the Martial Artists behind Xing Beiming.
Although they were angry, they dared not speak. The heroes of the Martial Arts World all feared ending up like Zhou Datong, so they all focused their attention on Xing Beiming.
Xing Beiming calmly spoke, “Then I will let Master Yin choose a day. I will fight you one-on-one, regardless of life or death.” As soon as Xing Beiming said this, the Martial Artists behind him opposed it one after another.
At this moment, there were not many people around the demonic Sect, making it a good opportunity to strike.
Xue Zulin, who was in his fifties and from the Qiongshan Sect, advised in the tone of a senior, “Lord Xing, if we let these demonic people go now, who knows how many more people they will harm? We must not act on impulse! We should unite and capture them and then eradicate the Blood Demon Sect!”
Righteous and stern, many people echoed this sentiment and were ready to draw their swords. Xing Beiming didn’t even spare them a glance. “This is the decision of the World’s Supreme Fortress. As for you, do as you please.”
Everyone’s faces were hesitant and indecisive. Although they were dissatisfied with Xing Beiming’s actions, but in terms of Martial Arts, no one present was his match. Moreover, this demonic-like man in front of them was probably not much inferior to Yin Haoyue from back then and charging up blindly would undoubtedly result in death.
Seeing this scene, Yin Ji laughed heartily, “Good! Straightforward! Compared to the so-called righteous Martial Artists, I believe more in your word, Lord Xing, which carries weight. As for those behind you…”
Ying Qi’s face turned pale. Ke Weiqing hid Ying Qi behind him while glaring at Yin Ji.
“Those are my people. I don’t know where they offended Master Yin.” Xing Beiming pretended not to understand his thoughts.
“Your people? Hahaha…” Yin Ji laughed again while pointing at Xing Beiming, “Xing Beiming, I know your mind is not here right now, instead, it was at that tasty little guard. I’ll make an appointment with you for a decisive battle next year. If I win, I’ll ask for a favor from you. I hope you agree!”
“Fine.” Xing Beiming nodded. “But I advise you, Master Yin, you should let him to willingly accept it.”
“Hmph! No need for your lectures. Let’s go!” Yin Ji waved his hand as his eyes arrogantly fixed on the person who didn’t want to see him with a tone of unwavering certainty, “You will definitely come back to me.”
Translator thought:
I think…that Yin Ji has a liking for Ying Qi…or they have something in the past🤔
