Shao Cheng just let out a sigh despite feeling anxious after seeing the shocked expression on Ren Yuan's face along with the fast beating of his heart because of nervousness and the familiar fear of being ignored or feared by the man.

If it was another person, he wouldn't have to worry about what other people will think about what he has done.

He has forgotten that this isn't the Ren Yuan who has survived a bloody situation during the struggle and chaotic time in the Chang Capital in which the cruelty he has done was something the man is also capable of doing.

"Papa bug! Don't just stand there like a scaredy-cat and quickie take those bugs out of Mama bug body!"

Suddenly, Shao Cheng has woke up by the purple dragon's frustrated voice and causing his darkened sapphire eyes to directly gaze at the man's shaking grey pupils before calmly taking a step forward and rushing over.

And even though he has some worries, he was able to easily perceive the way the man's eyebrow has wrinkle over with his pale lip forming in a straight line.

"I'll stop your discomfort."

"Huh? Whitey you-!"

After squatting down before the man, Shao Cheng didn't allow him to finish what he wanted to do before swiftly pulling up the man's long sleeves and finally seeing the state of his arms that has the disgusting large veins crazily convulsing around.

Which is the obvious sign of the bugs going crazy once they have lost their connection to the Gu expert and trying to ruin the body they reside in.

"Brother Yuan… don't worry, I'll quickly remove them out of your body."

Despite the uncomfortable feeling of his inside basically writhing in pain from overusing the purple aura with an ailing and vulnerable body, the purple aura remain swirling in Shao Cheng sapphire eyes while his right hand that is only working has swiftly taken grasp of the man's arms before swiftly infusing it with his special aura and pushing out the bugs that he can easily detect with his glowing purple eyes.

And at the same time, Shao Cheng was busy dealing with the man problem, Purple has swiftly removed his flexible body that has been entirely wrapped around Ren Yuan's arm in order to block the unusual bugs from moving further before gently floating around the two men.

Shao Cheng was utterly absorbed in dealing with the unusual bugs that he has failed to see the blank expression on Ren Yuan's face along with the flash of wonder and curiosity flashing on his grey pupils which completely reflected Shao Cheng bloody and wounded figure.

And when Shao Cheng has disintegrated the bugs that have quickly wiggled out from Ren Yuan's arms without leaving any evidence of its existence, he couldn't help but froze over when the man hand has suddenly appeared in his vision.

Even though Shao Cheng knows that Ren Yuan wouldn't hurt him but his tense body couldn't help but unconsciously flinch over as it easily overlaps the Ren Yuan in his memories, especially when there are dread and worries in his heart.

However, he can only show a dumbfounded expression underneath his mask when Ren Yuan has gently flicked his sweaty forehead before a helpless and feeble voice has resounded out.

"Really, can you stop it? Even if I can't see your beautiful face… you are thinking dark and negative thoughts again right?"

Whitey, you have the problem of thinking too much...

Shao Cheng can only remain silent for a few seconds while silently peeking at the man sitting down while leaning in a wall before finally opening his mouth to speak what he really thought about, after all, he has already decided a month ago to be more open and truthful toward him.

"... did… I scare you… with my bloody action…?"

"... really…you..."

Despite being able to finally move, Ren Yuan has struggled to flick the young man's forehead despite how the worm bugs were just removed from his arm a moment ago, after all, there is a foolish young man that needs to have some sense knocked in his head or else all sort of weird ideas is going to wildly run in his brilliant but sometimes stupid mind.

"Did you forgot my word from before? I don't mind it if you are a cruel person. Besides, how could I fear you when you have done it all for my sake? Anyway, your Brother Yuan isn't an easy person to be frightened alright?"

"... I thought you started fearing me when I saw your shocked expression…"

Shao Cheng couldn't help but complain although his voice remains cold the whole time, however, Ren Yuan just let out a disbelief snort since after the days that they have been together, he was able to slowly get a good read on how the young man sometimes think.

Despite how close and friendly they have been acting with each other, Ren Yuan can still feel the hidden dreading and fretting worry in the young man's heart when it comes to him, which was definitely weird and strange.

Ah… how fragile and delicate Little Cheng is when it comes to relationship… might be the result of all those years of closing off to everything and everyone around him.

And when Ren Yuan secretly perceive the young man's silent stare while waiting for his reply, he couldn't help but let out a soft cough while slightly raising his hand to scratch his cheek before speaking one more time.

Fortunately, Ren Yuan has lower his voice enough for the young man to only hear it, besides the invincible purple dragon floating around them that has slowly shown a crooked grin along with excited purple eyes.

"White… you are really bad for focing me say this… cough, I'm just shocked by how cool and amazing you look fighting the man alright?"

Honestly, why do you think I feel scared seeing that cruel and ruthless fight? Rather, I feel happy seeing you angry and coming to my rescue once again alright? Especially, when you decisively sacrifice your left arms to quickly finished the fight causing me to be shocked.

Damn, I was feeling touched! Such a stupid and foolish young man who always has a weird thinking process!

Fortunately, Ren Yuan's cheek has been flush from enduring and struggling from the painful feeling wracking his entire body after being caught off guard by the Gu martial expert, so he was able to easily hide his growing embarrassment.

"...Oh…"

Shao Cheng slowly blink his eyes at the sudden compliment and was only capable to let out a simple sound while the anxiousness in his heart has swiftly disappeared just like that before his lip underneath his face mask has slowly spread wide into a genuine warm smile.

"... then, I don't mind coming to your rescue whenever you are in trouble…"

While dazedly staring at the man's flush cheeks, Shao Cheng couldn't help but softly whisper those words out while completely resign at the quick beating of his heart and has decided to just ignore it since there is nothing else he can do about it.

After all, he couldn't remove himself out from the man's life while being a close acquaintance in their early life is the best course of action before everything is turning chaotic in their upcoming years.

"Although…. We have to talk about your action of always treating yourself as nothing. Whitey, you are extremely important, so you better take care of yourself too alright?"

Don't think I will ignore the fact that you are fighting again despite not in full health, while severely injuring your left arm.

Really, you are also cruel to your own self... so how could I leave you all alone?

Rean Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes when the young man has just obediently nod his head, completely knowing that it just went to one ear and out from another.

...this troublesome person won't learn…

"And Whitey... never show mercy to your enemy and decisively deal with them. That is the way to live longer in our world while being capable of protecting your loved ones."

"Hmm… I'll listen to Brother Yuan's great advice."

Seeing that everything has turned out for the better, Shao Cheng has once more acted obediently and a good boy to Ren Yuan while ignoring the doubtful emotion glinting in the man pair of grey pupils.

"Let's go, I'll take you back home."

Shao Cheng has offered his bloody hand that has just rip out a person's heart with more confidence in his heart while Ren Yuan's grey eyes have lowered down to silently stare at the usually beautiful hands that are now completely covered in blood and gore before decisively grabbing it with a familiar grin slowly showing on his face.

"Whitey, do you want a reward from Brother Yuan? How about my precious wine? Or free meals and drinks in the restaurant I own for a month? Or maybe, a precious weapon? I'm sure you will be needing it since you always get in trouble."

Watching the teasing glint in the man's eyes, Shao Cheng's lip curls up before pulling the man up which has ended up leaning on his slender body after hearing the reward he has spoken.

"Hmm…alright, I want to see Brother Yuan dressing up as a woman again... for a week."

I'll didn't get to appreciate it before...

"... can you change it?"

Shao Cheng was capable of holding the still weak man in his arms despite his injured left arm before tapping his feet in the ground and leaping up, which at the same time, signaling the quiet and silent green-eyed youth standing still in the distance to take care of everything with a quick glance before disappearing.

He doesn't have the time to completely deal with the young man situation, especially when Ren Yuan state is far more important.

Although, Shao Cheng was able to easily leave since he has also sensed the oncoming figure of the young man in black clothes that he has already met during the Snow Mountain situation, which was capable enough to clean up the entire place.

After all, he remembers Ren Yuan telling him from before that Xing Ning is a great person in cleaning up his mess and dealing with problems.

"Brother Yuan… you can't fulfill what I want?"

While Shao Cheng freely dashing and jumping on the building rooftop in the Chang Capital with the silent Ren Yuan in his arms, he couldn't help but lowered his voice with a hint of disappointment leaking out from it.

Which seemed to have worked like a charm since Ren Yuan has finally uttered a defeated yes, of course, while murmuring his own complaint and idea to get back on him.

"...ok… I'll definitely let you dress up in female clothing one of these days…"

"... hm... Big Sister Xixi once mention being eyed by numerous foxes and wolves if I'm going to dress up as a woman… but it would work out fine if that is going to happen right?"

"...! No! You are not allowed! Wait… Urgh… it's not fair... I want to see you dress like one too…I can't be the only one...in woman clothes..."

Somehow, Shao Cheng completely feels refresh despite the writhing pain in every single part of his body before moving his head down to gently whisper in the man's earlobe and easily sensing the way the man's body has become stiff.

"... then, I'll only show it to Brother Yuan when that happened…"

"...!"
