After an Infinite Flow Player Retires

The young man's hand was still hanging in the air. The veins on the back of his hand were even more prominent with the strength applied and his pale fingers trembled faintly in the dark, but it couldn't move any closer.

Holding his wrist, Ji Xuan pulled his hand away from that ball of flesh little by little.

The further away he got, the more the young man struggled.

He instinctively resisted and struggled, but he couldn't break free from the other person's grasp. The chest his back was pressed against felt like an indestructible rock, firmly imprisoning him, preventing him from getting closer.

"Shhh….." The man used a low and soft voice to comfort him.

He leaned next to Ye Jia's ear and whispered, his voice gentle and indulging, "That can't be touched."

That was a part of Mother.

Even after it was removed from her body, her flesh could still remain alive for a certain period of time, constantly pouring out pure malice, polluting and bewitching the fierce ghosts.

She was the mother of all the ghosts and monsters as well as the source of all the dark and evil thoughts in this world.

She had generously presented a part of herself in front of Ye Jia, tempting him: Eat it.

—–After eating it, he would become her child, her subject, her loyal pet.

After eating it, he could go back, back to her dark and deadly embrace, and become a part of her.

Ji Xuan lowered his eyes. His cold lips fell onto the young man's warm shoulders and neck.

The other party's skin was delicate and cool, like a jade that had been warmed up slightly. At such a close distance, he could almost smell the blood flowing under the skin. It was incredibly tempting. It made him can't help but want to bite off a small piece and chew on it.

He thought this, and he also did it.

Ji Xuan indulgently kissed the soft skin between the other party's neck and shoulder. He deeply inhaled the young man's smell into his lungs, letting it fill up his cold and empty chest.

Through his palm, he could feel the other party's long and soft eyelashes trembling slightly. It felt like the fluffy hair of a small animal, slowly and gently brushing against his palm.

He wanted to tighten his fingers and hold that itchy sensation firmly in his hand, but he was also worried about crushing it if he used too much force.

The desire to destroy and the desire to cherish competed against each other inside him.

Ji Xuan rested his chin on the other person's shoulder and silently sighed.

——If only he was always this well-behaved.

But on the contrary, Ji Xuan knew very well that as soon as the other party returns to his senses, he would return to that cruel and invincible Ace that would mercilessly cut him down.

What a pity.

Ji Xuan extended his ghost domain.

A scarlet crevice opened in the air. It slowly opened and then carefully enclosed around the ball of flesh.

Finally, that ball of flesh was completely sealed off.

Mother's influence was gone. The changes in the city stopped.

The blood-like colour in the sky slowly receded like a tide. It gradually returned to its original colour.

On the ground, monsters and ghosts were no longer in a frenzied state. The extra limbs that grew on the zombies fell off and they stumbled back along the roads, disappearing into the holes on the ground.

All the creatures that loved to hide in the dark slithered back into the darkness.

Except for the evil spirits who liked to attack people indiscriminately, most of the other monsters and ghosts were no longer as dangerous as before.

The army of monsters collapsed in an instant.

The people fighting against them at this moment exchanged a look with each other in confusion. Everyone's faces were pale with exhaustion and their clothes were covered in blood and body fluids of various colours. They were in a particularly sorry state. Even their hands had little strength in them. All of them turned and stared blankly into the distance.

The redness faded.

In the horizon, brilliant sunlight penetrated through the clouds like a gold thread.

—-Dawn had broken.

In the building.

The early morning light entered through the glass, falling onto the smooth floor and dispelling some of the darkness inside.

But the depths of the building were still as dark as the eternal night, as if light could never reach it.

After the scarlet ball of flesh disappeared and the scarlet light from it was similarly gone, the entire hall became cold and dark again.

Ji Xuan's expression didn't change much but his complexion was several shades paler. He looked almost as bleak as a ghost in this dark environment.

The young man in his arms softened like a puppet whose threads had been cut off.

Ji Xuan caught Ye Jian in time and then gently lowered him down.

But before he could withdraw and leave, the young man in his arms suddenly opened his eyes.

Ji Xuan's movements froze.

"……." Ye Jia lowly whispered something, but he couldn't hear what he said.

His long eyelashes trembled lightly and then slowly raised, revealing the pitch-black eyes underneath, "…..Hungry."

Please read this from kk translates

Without warning, Ye Jia pushed Ji Xuan to the ground.

"Hungry."

His voice was low and soft, and a little nasal, as if he was acting spoiled, but his actions were strong and fierce and very aggressive. Like a predator, he very smoothly pressed his prey under him.

Ji Xuan was slightly startled.

He raised his eyes and stared at the young man pressing him down. His silent chest rose up and down very quickly, but he didn't struggle.

Ye Jia leaned down and sniffed the other party's lower lip.

The tip of his nose was cold. It slowly slid down the man's neck, gently touching the other party's skin.

All the muscles in Ji Xuan's body were taut. His dark red eyes became an even darker shade such that it looked like there was a pool of blood swirling around inside a dark void.

He raised his hand and pressed it onto Ye Jia's shoulder without much force as if he was encouraging him.

Ye Jia thought blankly for a few seconds and then opened his mouth and bit the other party's throat.

Ji Xuan hissed.

—–But it didn't hurt.

The jut in his throat bobbed. It took him a long time before he could force out the next words from his throat. As if he was scorched by fire, his throat was so dry, one could hardly hear his original voice:

"……Little ancestor, you……"

You're forcing me to commit a crime.

Ye Jia was still in a confused state. His mind felt like it was stuffed with countless cotton balls such that his reason was pressed down to the deepest depths, unable to surface back up.

"Hungry."

He lowly said.

The existence that made him feel at ease and tempted him had disappeared at some point. At this moment, all the power he had consumed earlier seemed to be running out of control. It rushed around inside his body as it tried to look for an exit. All the blood and bones in his body ached, but hunger overwhelmed all his other sensations. It screamed like crazy in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed a particularly alluring smell next to him.

Even without opening his eyes, he could still feel the other person's presence. It was like the only light source in the dark constantly radiating light and heat, that sweet smell was particularly tempting.

Ye Jia loosened his mouth and gnawed on Ji Xuan's collarbone this time.

This time, he bit rather hard.

His sharp teeth cut through the skin and cold and sweet tasting blood gushed out from the opening. All of it was greedily swept up by a warm tongue.

Ji Xuan's pupils constricted.

His desire was surging violently inside him. He was almost at his limit of self-control.

—-If this continues, he may really lose control and end up doing something irreparable.

In fact, Ji Xuan didn't mind the other party eating him.

But the problem was that the more Ye Jia ate, the closer he would be to a monster and the closer he was to that blurred boundary, the easier it would be for Mother to push him over to the other side.

If it was the former Ji Xuan, he wouldn't mind that at all.

Wouldn't two monsters be a better match?

But….Following what happened in the game last time where he was almost cut to death, Ji Xuan had received a wake-up call. If he once again got too hasty and resorted to desperate measures, the other party would probably never forgive him again.

And there was a stronger, more selfish reason haunting Ji Xuan's heart.

Although the days spent in the mirror spirit's illusory realm were short, they had left him with a deep impression.

He discovered that what he really missed was the moment before everything had happened, when he got along well with Ye Jia as his child self.

During their fight, the other party would lower his eyes and gently call out, "A'Xuan."

Unfortunately, for Ji Xuan at the time, that wasn't enough.

He wanted more.

—–His insatiable desire pushed the two of them into a situation like this.

But even now, Ji Xuan still hadn't changed.

The only difference was that his old self was more easily satisfied.

Whether it was by unscrupulously binding Ye Jia to his side, or by eating Ye Jia, or even letting himself be eaten, Ji Xuan was able to accept it and be content with it.

But those three days spent in that illusory realm had made him more greedy and more difficult to satisfy.

What he wished for before was no longer enough.

Compared to those cruel and forceful methods, Ji Xuan hoped that…….the other party would willingly stay by his side for eternity.

Like a butterfly getting caught in a spider web, before it even realises it, it's gorgeous wings had become firmly entangled in the web, unable to escape.

Ji Xuan squeezed his eyes shut and slowly pushed the other party away from his collarbone.

Ye Jia looked at him silently through his pair of black eyes.

His lips that are thin and well defined were half open at this moment and dyed a deep crimson colour from the blood. Just the sight of it was…..especially inviting.

The jut on Ji Xuan's throat bobbed.

Once one endures to a certain extent, they succumb to their desires.

He raised his hand, pressed his cold and wide palm onto the back of the other person's neck and then rose up to kiss him.

The kiss was fierce and passionate. Sharp teeth broke the skin in the other party's mouth, and their tongue and lips entangled amidst the metallic tasting blood.

The yin energy gathered by the young man from his earlier killings were licked and consumed little by little by the other party.

The cold fingers hanging loosely by his side gradually became warmer such that it was now the warmth of a human body. His heart that had slowed down earlier had also returned to the normal frequency of a humans.

Ji Xuan could hear it through the other person's chest—–

"Badump"—–"Badump"——–"Badump"——–

After a long time, he finally willingly let go of the other party.

The young man's breathing was heavy and hastened because of the lack of oxygen. His eyes were half lowered but the eyes that could still be seen had returned to its normal amber colour. The pupils were however still a little dilated. He seemed to still be in a muddle-headed state.

His eyes were a little misty as he looked at the other party with his bright red lips slightly parted. He seemed to be at loss and confused with the current situation.

Ji Xuan couldn't hold back. He lowered his head and licked the other person's swollen lower lip.

But this time, he only tasted it.

There were many ways for him to turn the other person from a monster-like state back into their human state but out of selfishness, Ji Xuan chose the method most advantageous for himself.

He bent his lips and gently laid the other person down onto the ground.

Suddenly, as if noticing something, Ji Xuan turned and looked into the dark corner ahead.

He hooked his finger.

"Ahhhhhh!!" The small black hand flew into his hand while screaming.

The small black hand squeezed its eyes shut as it continued to scream fearfully, "Ahhhhhhhhh!"

Ji Xuan frowned, "Shut up."

Ye Jia had just returned to his human state but if this ghost continued to scream, he may be awakened.

The small black hand immediately stopped.

It could sense the energy coming from the other party. The overwhelming power made it unable to move at all—-As long as the other party wanted to kill it, it wouldn't be able to fight back at all.

The small black hand trembled. It was about to cry. "Ki…..King…."

It was trembling so badly, it had afterimages, "I-I-I-I-I didn't see anything just now…."

That was true.

The moment Ji Xuan appeared, the small black hand had run away at the speed of light with its tail tucked in between its legs, but unfortunately, its spiritual body was bound to Ye Jia so it could only hide as far as possible and pray that the other party wouldn't find it.

But even though it was far away, the small black hand still knew what had happened just now.

King!!! Forget about the fact that he saved boss!!!

He had actually taken advantage of boss!!!

W-w-what was going on?!

Only then did the small black hand truly realise what it meant by rumours not being credible.

How the hell was it seeking revenge after being played with and thrown away? This was clearly the intention to rekindle old feelings and go after their body!!!

The plot had suddenly changed from a revenge seeking story to one that is filled with dog-blood and perverseness!!!

The small black hand's face was covered in tears.

It felt that it would not only lose its life, but it may even be left with no ashes.

My life is over!!

Ji Xuan raised a brow and asked with some interest, "Hmm? You didn't see anything?"

Small black hand: "…………"

It slipped up.

Oh no.

Its entire body was stiff. It was almost about to pass out.

"I haven't seen you before." Ji Xuan slowly played with the small black hand in his hand. He squeezed it into a ball and let go, watching it return to its original form, "Looks like he has been hiding you very well."

"It seems you are the ghost closest to him."

His words grew colder and colder.

Please read this from kk translates

When he said the last word, the small black hand could clearly feel the other person's deadly killing intent……and jealousy.

—–If it had legs, it would now use both its legs to kick itself unconscious.

What's scarier than King was a jealous King.

Ji Xuan tied the small black hand into a knot and calmly watched the other party struggle to free itself. The corners of his lips curled up into an unsmiling arc:

"A pity."

If he killed it, Ye Jia would find out.

And he remembered that when he first hurried here, it was this weak ghost who had tried to pull Ye Jia away from that thing. It could be said that it deserved a small credit.

Ji Xuan casually thought this.

Just when the small black hand thought it was out of luck and about to die here, the other party released it.

It was dumbfounded. Still in a tied-up state, it looked at Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan's eyes were cold as the smile on his lips deepened, "If I smell you on his body next time, I won't let you off so easily. Understand?"

The small black hand nodded frantically.

Ji Xuan lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Jia.

The young man was still lying silently on the ground. Still asleep, his expression was calm, his breathing was steady, and his slightly messy hair covered much of his forehead. The early morning rays entered the dark hall little by little, falling onto the ground and illuminating the lower half of his face. It was extremely picturesque.

The coldness in Ji Xuan's eyes melted away.

He leaned down and rubbed his finger against Ye Jia's lower lip. The wound on the other party's lip healed instantly.

Although it was a pity, it had to be done to cover up his traces.

Finally, Ji Xuan gazed at him deeply and nostalgically.

Big brother, sweet dreams.

He withdrew his gaze and turned and walked out.

The blood gu fish was waiting outside the building, its hollow eye sockets watching the door intently. The moment Ji Xuan appeared, it immediately swam over like a cannonball and stopped in front of Ji Xuan. It anxiously waved its tail, circled around Ji Xuan and pressed its skull head against his palm.

"Don't worry." Ji Xuan patted its head, "He's fine."

The blood gu fish seemed to be relieved.

It waved its tail in relief and began to habitually rub its head against Ji Xuan's palm.

Ji Xuan however avoided it.

He said, "Go follow him the next few days."

The blood gu fish raised its head and looked at its master blankly.

For some reason, it's master looked….much paler than usual.

Ji Xuan retracted his gaze.

—–What he did just now was tantamount to directly rebelling against Mother. For a while after this, it would be rather chaotic on his end.

Ji Xuan wasn't concerned about this. His status had never been derived from the so-called 'familial connection'. His powers were something he had obtained himself step by step after trampling over mountains of bloody corpses. He however would need to step away for the next few days and he would not be able to watch over Ye Jia.

He was more worried about Mother attacking Ye Jia during this time.

And also…….that ball of flesh.

He had only confined it inside his ghost domain and hadn't yet tried to touch it or digest it, but it seems that Mother's powers were more difficult to deal with than he had initially thought. He would need to find another way to deal with it.

Ji Xuan glanced at the blood gu fish, "Protect him."

When he was done saying that, a scarlet crack opened in the air and he turned and stepped into it.

There was no one left at the entrance of the building.

.

Inside the building

Ye Jia slowly woke up.

He blinked blankly a few times and then raised his hand to block the sunlight entering his eyes.

For a moment, he didn't know where he was.

Memories from last night soon flooded into his mind.

The ghost doors had opened, and hundreds of ghosts appeared. In order to prevent the fierce ghosts from further evolving, he came to the city centre…..

And then?

Ye Jia slowly sat up. His bones creaked in pain. He frowned and turned to take in his surroundings.

A clean hall without the slightest trace of a battle.

Everything looked normal. It was so normal; it was a bit strange.

Yes, the sun came out and there was no yin energy or the smell of blood in the air, so everything should be over.

But Ye Jia didn't remember anything from last night.

He frowned and turned to look beside him.

He saw traces of red fluid on the ground beside him. Although it had dried up, the colour was still strong.

Ye Jia was surprised.

This…..?

At this moment many blurry and fragmented scenes appeared in his mind. The scarlet object in the darkness, the thickening pool of blood on the ground, and a fierce and passionate…..kiss?

But before he had the chance to grasp onto those scenes, they all quickly disappeared without a trace.

Ye Jia touched his lower lip.

Cold and smooth and without a wound.

A dream?

He then remembered the small black hand. For some reason, the small black hand who used to like to stay on his shoulder was hiding far away.

"Yesterday…….What happened?"

After hearing Ye Jia's question, the small black hand stammered, "I-I also don't know. I fainted as soon as we entered the building last night."

——-Of course, it really wished it had fainted.

Ye Jia frowned suspiciously, but before he could continue asking, he felt something touching his forearm.

He turned and looked. It was the blood gu fish waving its tail.

Seeing that it had attracted Ye Jia's attention, it leaned forward and opened its mouth.

There was a 'clatter'

A special test tube fell out of its mouth.

Ye Jia quickly picked it up.

It was the core of the fake blood gu fish; a green drop of blood sealed inside a test tube. In the sun, it gleamed a strange colour.

It was obvious that the blood inside of it belonged to a fierce ghost but the test tube outside definitely belonged to a human.

As long as they followed this clue, they would most definitely be able to find more clues.

Ye Jia raised the corner of his lips.

"You're very clever too."

The blood gu fish seemed to understand his compliment. Its tail waved faster.

It gurgled and flopped over, happily exposing its belly to Ye Jia. It seemed to be acting spoilt.

"Alright, alright, alright." Ye Jia sighed helplessly and smiled.

He reached out and gently but not very skilfully rubbed the blood gu fish's belly. The other party just happy waved its tail and continued to act spoilt.

The sun seemed to be too bright.

Ye Jia's eyes were blinded for a moment by the reflecting light.

He looked in direction of this light—The test tube laid quietly on the side, the metal tip gleaming in the sun.

Ignoring the green drop of blood in the test tube, a sudden thought appeared in Ji Yushi's mind.

The core of the blood gu fish was a fierce ghost's blood.

His gaze fell onto the blood gu fish he was petting. He was in deep thought—-

If that was the case, which fierce ghost's blood was this one's core?

The answer was about to appear.

However, another conjecture also emerged.

The belly of the blood gu fish was semi-liquid, viscous blood that slowly rose up and down and the feeling was like……Putting your hand into a bowl of jelly.

Ye Jia's palm applied some force, and it slowly sank into the depths of its stomach.

The blood gu fish noticed that something wasn't right and turned to look at Ye Jia with its dark and empty eye sockets. It however didn't fight back, as if it believed that this human wouldn't harm it.

Ye Jia's wrist also sank in.

He frowned and felt around inside the blood gu fish's chest cavity.

Finally, Ye Jia felt a warm and round core inside the blood gu fish that constantly radiated energy.

He activated some powers on his fingers and felt it.

The next second, Ye Jia's eyes widened sharply, and his breathing stopped. He seemed to be shocked by something unexpected.

There was not one drop of blood in the core of this blood gu fish….but two drops.

One was the blood of a fierce ghost.

And the other was a human's…..

Tears.

After becoming aware of this fact, Ye Jia immediately withdrew his hand and fell back.

His pupils constricted and his chest rose and fell heavily.

A scene from his memory resurfaced.

A thin and pale boy stood in a sea of blood. His hair was pitch-black, and his eyes were scarlet red.

A large hole had been punctured through his chest. It was as if he had been pierced by some kind of sharp weapon.

The young man was standing close to him. His face was pale, his breathing was irregular, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line, but he still used the hand that was trembling uncontrollably to plunge the sharp blade into the thin boy in front of him.

Blood poured out the boy's chest.

The boy looked down at the wound in his chest curiously. His pale fingers were wet from the blood.

The boy raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him.

His originally calm expression stirred, and his scarlet eyes constricted.

The boy was slightly stunned. He reached out towards the other party.

A drop of transparent tear rolled down the young man's cheek, falling onto the boy's small, blood-stained hand.

At that moment, the coldness, paranoia and madness in the boy's eyes dissolved like the melting ice. It all disappeared without a trace.

He raised the corners of his pale lips and smiled happily and innocently:

"…….That's great."

Then, the boy closed his eyes and softly fell back.

The blood gu fish turned over and once again swam over to Ye Jia. It rubbed its head against the other person's palm.

——Turns out, this was why you are so clever.

——Turns out, this was why you like me.

Ye Jia forced out a smile.

But the next moment, another shocking thought came to him.

The blood gu fish only showed affection towards two people —– Ji Xuan, and himself.

So as the owner, would Ji Xuan not know what core his pet has? How could that be possible.

The man's low voice sounded next to his ear: "It likes you."

"You can touch it."

That sudden thought struck him too suddenly, causing Ye Jia's brain to stop working. In his completely blank mind, there was only one line left.

—— Ji Xuan knew.
