Chapter 4 5 A New Journey Although the real person appeared a little ...

Although Zhenren had a minor problem , he seemed much better now . Bo Yezhu looked at him and asked simply , " Zhenzhen , did n't you find any problems ? "​

From his angle , he could see the real person blink before saying , " I do n't think it 's a problem . "​

After hearing what he said , Bo Yezhu thought for a moment , but didn't ask any further questions . Instead, he said , " The season will change soon . I need to go back and get some thick clothes . Let's go tomorrow . "

" By the way , does Zhenzhen know which pillar is in charge of me ? Do I need to go to the base ? " Bo Ye Zhu remembered something that he forgot to ask Yin . Zhenzhen might know .

As expected , the real person thought for a moment and replied , " It's the Flame Pillar . As for the base , we still have free missions , but we can apply for it ourselves during the training period , and we can ask the Flame Pillar for swordsmanship guidance during normal times . "

Forget about the latter one , Bo Ye Zhu still felt that he was not on the same level as the Pillar- level swordsman .

Back at the headquarters , the swordsmen who had been training during the day should be resting . Small lights were on around them , and it was much quieter than when they first came out .

You can see crows standing on the eaves , silent , I wonder if they are asleep too .​

Bo Yezhu moved more gently and returned to the room . Only in the bathroom there was some sound of washing , and there was more or less no movement in the other rooms .

After closing the door , Bo Ye Zhu glanced at the clock on the table and found that it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening . No wonder the headquarters was so quiet .

The real person took the bottle of medicine and asked him if he wanted to apply it now .

" You didn't make the quilt dirty, did you ? " Bo Ye Zhu asked casually as he watched him spread the bedding .

The real person was silent for a moment , then said , " No. "

The light blue haori was taken off , and Nagisa was barefoot . While unbuttoning her shirt , she said to Masato : " Let 's get some sleep tonight . Bring some clothes home tomorrow and get some thicker ones . "​

" Want to buy new clothes ? "

" Well , maybe next time . I still need to clean up after I get home , and then come back to headquarters for a nap after dinner . The Crows will be here to assign missions in the afternoon . "

A white shirt was hung on the shelf next to him . Bo Ye Zhu pulled down his loose pants , walked to the prepared bedding and lay down , exposing his beautiful white back to the air .

The bruises were no longer visible on the skin . Zhenren still remembered where he had applied the medicine and pressed it . Bo Yezhu made a soft hissing sound and said , " It still seems a little painful . "

The real person hummed , dipped his fingertips in the cold medicine , pressed them on the skin , and rubbed them in circles with slight force .

Bo Yezhu shuddered . When the potion touched the surface of his skin , he felt a little itchy there . It was an area that was rarely touched , and he felt a little uncomfortable being pressed by someone 's fingertips .

He buried his head in his arms , his silver hair messy , and his tone was a little unstable : " Hurry up , did you do this on purpose ? "

He could have used a little more force to avoid being stuck in this state , which made him feel stuck in between .

The real person lowered his eyes to look at the skin that had been stained dark by the brown potion . He dipped his fingertips again and continued to circulate there , saying slowly , " I 'm afraid of hurting you . "

" You might as well hurt me . " As the cold potion fell , Bo Yezhu shrank again and muttered .​​​​

The next second , he felt gravity on his lower back . The real person lowered his eyes , staring at the interwoven white and dark skin , where his fingerprints were. He said to Bo Ye Zhu , " If you use too much force , it will leave a mark . "

Bo Yezhu stood up , his silver hair falling a few strands as he moved . He glanced at Zhenren from the side and said , " Alright , let's wipe the front . "

There weren't many wounds on his chest and abdomen , just a few near his waist . Bo Ye Zhu muttered , " I clearly didn't feel anything at the time , so why are there bruises here ? "

Under the light , the texture of his muscles was clear , without a trace of fat . There was no flaw on his body . The real person applied medicine to him carefully , and the medicine was very effective . Now there were only one or two spots left .

After he finished wiping , Bo Ye Zhu stretched out his palm . The small wounds on it had already scabbed over , but it still hurt when he held it . Zhenren put the bottle of medicine aside and gently held his hand .

A palm that was a circle larger than Bo Yezhu 's held his injured palm , and the slender fingertips were dipped in hot water that had been heated by the skin and pressed on the wound on his palm .

" Will the medicine still be effective if the scab has formed ? Do I need other medicine for this kind of skin injury ? " Bo Ye Zhu suddenly thought of something .

" It 's okay . " Zhenren carefully applied medicine to each small wound , then stood up and walked to Bo Yezhu 's cabinet . After thinking for a while , he accurately took out a roll of bandage from a drawer in a corner .

Bo Ye Zhu opened his eyes wide : " How come I didn't know I still had bandages here ? "

The real person came over and said , " You said four months ago that you wanted to stock up on some medicine . I bought some at that time , including some cold medicine . "

" I really have no recollection of it at all . " Bo Yezhu wanted to touch the back of his head , but immediately remembered that he still had the undried potion in his hand , so he stopped .

The wound and medicine on his hand were carefully wrapped by Zhenren . Bo Yezhu reminded him not to wrap it too tightly . Zhenren responded and wrapped it three times before taking scissors to cut the bandage .

Tie a beautiful knot .

This time, Bo Ye Zhu was finally satisfied . After putting on her clothes , she moved closer to Zhenren and kissed him on the tip of his nose . She smiled and said , " This is a reward . "

The real person touched the top of his head , which felt so good , and his whole demeanor softened noticeably . He asked , " Do you want a haircut ? "

" I want it cut here . " Bo Ye Zhu raised his hand and measured the length . " I do n't think I've ever tried short hair before . The last time I cut it , it was pretty long . "

The real person picked up a lock of his silver hair , thought for a moment , and nodded . " Okay , I have a mission to complete , so cutting it short will make it easier to move . "

Bo Yezhu looked at him suspiciously . This man never cared about missions or anything .​​

I guess she just wanted to see him with short hair . Bo Ye Zhu chuckled . He had a clear understanding of the real person 's psychology .

The real person , whose thoughts were seen through , did not argue . He took Bo Yezhu to his room , closed the door , looked at Bo Yezhu who was sitting spontaneously at the table , and walked over to open the drawer of the desk .

The tools were placed on the table . Bo Ye Zhu looked at himself in the mirror , rubbed his cheeks , and said to Zhenren : " I always feel like I've become darker . "

The real person looked at it carefully for a while and shook his head : " No. "

His movements were already very skilled . Although he hadn't done short haircuts for a long time , he was not an inexperienced novice , so it took him just a little longer than usual .

The silver hair fell down , revealing Bo Yezhu 's handsome eyebrows and eyes .

The last time he had his hair cut , he seemed to still be a self- level swordsman , right ?

So many things have happened during this period of time , it’s incredible to think about it .

" Okay . " After repairing for a long time , the real person finally put down his tools and looked at the short- haired young man in the mirror .

It 's a completely different feeling . Nagisa Usuga was at her most beautiful when she was in her early twenties . Whether she had long hair or half- long hair , she always had the temperament of a nobleman from the Edo period .

The short hair completely exposed the young man 's eyebrows and eyes , which added a bit of sharpness accumulated from years of killing ghosts , like the sharp edges of jade .

If the floor under his feet had not been made of wood , he would have almost thought he had returned to modern times .

Coming to his senses , he went to pack up his tools . Bo Ye Zhu said happily beside him , " I feel much fresher now . I won't need to spend so much time drying my hair next time . It will dry in no time . "

He was used to having long hair before , and his mission of killing ghosts was not heavy at all . Most of them were patrols , so the training period was a little troublesome .

After Zhenren finished cleaning the room , Bo Ye Zhu was already lying on his bed , studying a small gadget he had bought at some unknown time . He turned to Zhenren and said , " This seems to have been bought a long time ago , right ? You haven't taken it home yet . "

" Azhu used to like this thing very much . I thought that one day when I remember it , I can put it back . " Zhenren walked over to take a look . It was a small crystal ball with a small wooden rabbit inside .

Bo Yezhu reached out and placed the crystal ball on the bedside cabinet , yawning : " Go to sleep , we have to get up and pack our things tomorrow . "

Zhenren responded and went to turn off the lights . As soon as he lay down , Bo Ye Zhu came over . The short hair did not affect the feel at all . Zhenren touched his hair , and Bo Ye Zhu whispered to him about what happened at Tian Zhu Mountain that night .

He was a little absent-minded and automatically ignored things that had nothing to do with Bo Yezhu . He only cared about whether Bo Yezhu was injured .

Bo Yezhu fell asleep quickly , his voice became lower as he spoke , and he fell asleep leaning on Zhenren 's chest .

Peaceful breaths hit the fabric .​​

The real person 's hand moved down and clasped his slightly hunched shoulders .

The cursed spirit carefully held the human in its arms .

A dreamless night .

The next day , when Bo Yezhu woke up , the sun was already high in the sky . He was still a little dazed . The sheets beside him had already become cold . It was estimated that Zhenren had been up for a long time .

What time is it ?

He sat up and turned his head to look out the window , but met the dark eyes of the crow .

After recognizing it as his own crow , Bo Yezhu 's eyes lit up : " Where have you been ? Long time no see ! "

" Hehehe - there 's a mission tonight ! "

" Huh ? What is it ? "

The crow combed its feathers before saying , " Go investigate the train . There have been several disappearances there . "​​

train ?

Bo Yezhu was not unfamiliar with this word . Just as he was thinking about it , the door was pushed open and the real person walked in .

Apparently, the real person had received the news before him . His expression was calm as he added a number of details : " We'll depart tonight . We 'll be staying near the Flame Pillar 's base there for a few days . "

Investigative missions took time , and Bo Ye Zhu understood . First, he had to investigate whether it was an evil spirit . If it was indeed an evil spirit , he had to find it , which took a lot of time . After finding the spirit , he would assess its strength . If he couldn't defeat it , he would need to seek help from the nearest Pillar -level swordsman .

In this way , spending ten days or half a month is nothing .

Zhenren had already packed the things he wanted to take back , and Bo Yezhu only needed to wash up .

When he returned to the room , Bo Yezhu glanced at the time . It was already past ten in the morning . He had slept for such a long time .

After feeling some remorse in his heart , Bo Yezhu thought that he would not be able to sleep for such a long time for a long time , and he felt justified again .

I got up late , so I decided to have breakfast and lunch together . Bo Ye Zhu thought of the restaurants near his home and felt itchy . Although the food in the headquarters restaurant was also delicious , the food outside always tasted better !

Zhenren was waiting for him at the door . The weather was very good today . The sun was setting . Zhu Ling was carrying the luggage and watching Bo Ye Zhu running towards him .

The gray - blue eyes flickered .​

It seemed as if he saw the still somewhat immature Bo Ye Zhu a long time ago when he went on his first mission , running towards him in the same way .

The two faces gradually overlapped .

He was still wearing the light blue haori today , but it was embroidered with crane and water patterns . He had a smile on his face , and around his waist hung the Nichirin sword that had been delivered this morning . The blade was smooth , and his bony hands rested on the scabbard .

" Let's go . "

The real person nodded at him .

Bo Ye Zhu happily grabbed the curse spirit 's hand and said , " Let's go ! "
