It was so damn infuriating he could cough up blood. Back then, when he'd coveted Bai Jinxiao, he'd wanted to pin him down and do whatever he pleased. What was wrong with that little fool? Faced with such a stunning beauty, he'd let the other man do whatever he pleased?

Lu Mingyu simply couldn't imagine that scene. The moment he did, his head started buzzing, and he wanted nothing more than to drag that unfilial son over and beat him senseless.

Endure, endure, endure.

The word "endure" was a blade pressed against the heart.

Lu Mingyu truly lived up to being a figure of heroic ambition. He endured for over half a month, having his trusted men gather enough clues and evidence to avoid "killing the wrong person."

Very good.

During that time, his unfilial son had secretly met with that scourge named Li Zhikong five times in total.

Li Zhikong had given his unfilial son an oil painting. His unfilial son hadn't displayed it outside; he'd hidden it away.

After every secret meeting, Li Zhikong would leave with flying steps, while his unfilial son would look utterly drained.

Killing intent overflowed from Lu Mingyu's eyes. The weather was turning cold. It was time to put the plan into action.

Chapter 25 ◇

◎Could Young Master Lu Really Do It?~◎

This had originally been the day Young Master Lu and Li Zhikong were supposed to meet again.

Considering how quickly the former recovered his stamina, these two men, who had gotten a taste and couldn't get enough, had settled on an interval of about three days. Any less, and they would have the desire but lack the strength; any more, and they would lie awake at night, longing and tossing restlessly—

Of course, this was also founded on Brother Jiese's careful appreciation and maintenance of his Dual Cultivation tool. On one hand, he gave Young Master Lu massages and therapeutic rubbing to help his body recover faster. On the other, he had no faith in this scumbag's moral integrity and feared that while he planted the tree, some other female demon would enjoy its shade. Did he look like he was doing charity work? In short, he collected his rent diligently and never gave him a chance to fool around.

Over the past half month, the two had worked together in perfect tacit understanding, exploring many positions and modes on the bed that benefited both body and mind. They were both young men around twenty, their passions overflowing and ready to burst forth. The moment they met, it was thunder stirring fire from the earth. What? If you loved someone, you had to love their soul? Oh, stop kidding. Who had the spare time for a soul-to-soul debate?

The pleasure in both body and heart made the newly appointed Rabbit Spirit, Li Jiese, bloom like a flower nourished by sunlight and rain, radiant and enchanting beyond measure~ So much so that even his grandparents sensed something was off. They wanted to ask him eight times a day whether he was dating too early. If Li Zhikong hadn't still been carrying the banners of "learning to drive" and "working as a tutor," the old couple would have wanted to keep him locked at home and forbid him from going out.

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

"I've never had worldly desires."

"I would never be fickle and heartless, hurting some poor girl."

"Is it my fault that I'm handsome and charming?"

"You should have faith in the results of your upbringing, mwah~"

His little mouth kept chattering until his grandparents began to waver. They thought that appearances could be deceiving. They couldn't keep judging people with prejudice. Just because that Bai fellow was no good didn't mean their Xiao Kong was no good too. They had to have faith in him!

Li Zhikong didn't think he was lying at all. He was practically a moral role model among Rabbit Spirits, okay? He had needs, but he didn't harm innocent people. He'd found a deadbeat scumbag and eliminated harm for the public. He was even especially careful and thrifty, intending to use him for three new years, three old years, then patch him up and use him another three years. So not only should he not be condemned, he ought to be rewarded.

Last time, they had finally played the little game he'd long looked forward to: the timid tutor versus the bad-seed school tyrant. Naturally, Li Zhikong was the innocent rabbit of a teacher who needed money because he was poor and couldn't afford to lose his job, so he endured his delinquent student without limit. Wicked Young Master Lu had coveted him for ages and finally couldn't resist reaching out with his evil claws. First, he made the teacher demonstrate for him—in a posture that practically held him in his arms. Seeing that he blushed but didn't refuse, he went even further, insisting he couldn't paint without a model and forcing the teacher to use his own body to personally guide him through the flow of human muscles, the relationship between light and shadow, and the beauty of lines...

Hehehe, the process had been simply wonderful beyond words.

They had even agreed that next time would still be the timid tutor versus the bad-seed school tyrant, a sequel of sorts. The script would be altered slightly. After all, forcing him blindly wouldn't do; if he wanted the innocent rabbit to submit, intimidation had to be followed by seduction—artists had no self-control when faced with true beauty, after all. And their school tyrant just happened to have the qualifications: a body of sleek, beautiful muscles! Teacher, you could trace them to your heart's content and savor every inch...

Honestly, compared with the previous episode's plot, Li Zhikong was clearly more interested in the next one. He had been rubbing his hands together since early morning, planning to secretly paint the way Scum Lu "seduced" him after foreplay. He was confident that this painting would definitely surpass the previous one, Inside the Car! Alas, he didn't have a place of his own. Keeping such "evidence of a crime" would be far too dangerous, or he never would have wanted to give it to Scum Lu~

Putting everything else aside, Li Zhikong truly liked Lu Yuan's appearance! It perfectly matched his tastes, and every bout of Dual Cultivation was exceptionally pleasurable. So even though he knew this guy was a philandering young master whom everyone had the right to condemn, he still couldn't help wanting to treat him a little better. For their last two "dates," he hadn't brought store-bought bulk beef jerky. Instead, he'd switched to Rabbit Spirit's exclusive secret tonic food, adding in Spiritual Energy Pearls that he had painstakingly condensed. They burst in the mouth, tasted so good they could send one to heaven, and gently nourished the body as well. Over time, they could extend one's life and make one immune to all illness.

Today, aside from the cheese-filled beef strips he'd roasted himself, Li Zhikong had also prepared a pot of Malt Honey Immortal Drink. Its main ingredient was sprouted malt. As usual, his grandparents had been the first taste testers. The moment they tried it, they were astonished as if seeing heaven itself. They no longer nagged him about wasting food. Seeing that little sprouted malt remained, they even urged Li Zhikong to start a second batch right away. "This is good, this is good. It's not too sweet, and the taste is especially refreshing. Look, I didn't take my medicine today, but my blood pressure still went down. Who would've thought you had such skills? You can make more in the future..."

How could it not be good?

Li Zhikong's heart ached terribly. He only had one hundred thousand yuan to his name, and he'd poured all of it into this. He bought a piece of jade no bigger than the tip of his little finger, then nearly carved his eyes blind before producing a barely usable miniature Spirit-Gathering Array. Its range only covered about as much space as a washbasin. He had already planned it out: in the future, he would use it to soak some malt, beans, and the like. It couldn't accomplish anything major, but it was better than nothing.

Everything was ready. All that remained was for them to meet.

But Scum Lu suddenly sent him a message, saying that something unexpected had come up and their date would have to be delayed for a while.
