LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Lang Junxian gently stroked Bai Maomao’s back.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The two of them were so close that he could even smell the pleasant scent of Bai Maomao’s body wash.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The steam mixed with Bai Maomao’s unique fragrance, calming Lang Junxian’s restless heart.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Before the age of ten, everything for Lang Junxian was a mixture of hope and the pain of shattered dreams.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
His mother was a Yao, originally from the Demon Wolf Clan.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It was said that this clan carried a trace of the ancient Celestial Wolf’s bloodline.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Once in several generations, a pure Son of Celestial Wolf would appear, gifted with the innate talent and legacy of the ancient Celestial Wolf.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The Lang family was originally founded by one such Son of Celestial Wolf.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In ancient times, the boundary between humans and Yao was not distinct, and intermarriage between the two was commonplace.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The Lang family was no exception, established from such a union.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Later, the founder married a woman from the Demon Wolf Clan, and so the Lang family legacy was passed down through generations.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
This balance continued until the great battle between the Phoenix King of Lihuo and Emperor Xuanyuan.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The Yao were utterly defeated; the Phoenix King of Lihuo perished, and the Southwestern Great Marsh burned dry in the Phoenix True Fire.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
From then on, the Yao vanished from the world.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
What followed was the rise of the human race.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The remaining Yao became like ghosts in the night, drifting in hiding, leaving behind only faint rumors and legends.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ancient families like the Langs were not rare; initially, perhaps out of kindness, they took in homeless Yao.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But human hearts changed over time, and that kindness turned into mere captivity.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Beautiful Yao women mostly became exotic playthings for noble sons, while fierce and battle-hardened Yao men were trained as secret servants.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
This was not unique to the Lang family; many old families with long legacies harbored traces of Yao blood.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Lang Junxian’s mother was one of those beautiful Yao.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Growing up in the Lang family, she was chosen by his father at eighteen and kept as a plaything in the old mansion.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The wolf that had been caged for so long had lost its wild nature and survival skills, clinging weakly to his father for life.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After Lang Junxian was born, his father’s attitude toward them was still somewhat decent, visiting several times each month.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In Lang Junxian’s memories, those days were the happiest.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But looking back, what he had most looked forward to in his childhood was probably only pain in his mother’s eyes.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If his father hadn’t suddenly changed, locking him away and if his mother hadn’t died trying to save him, perhaps they would still be quietly muddling through their lives in the old Lang mansion until their natural ends.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“That’s all there is to it, really nothing worth talking about.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Lang Junxian laughed bitterly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Bai Maomao pressed his forehead against his and asked curiously, “Why did your father suddenly lock you up?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I don’t know,” Lang Junxian shook his head.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“He gave me a lot of strange things to eat back then. It seemed like he was testing some kind of medicine.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Testing medicine?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Bai Maomao tensed.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“It didn’t harm you, did it?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“How could it not…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Lang Junxian lowered his eyes.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“After that, I became what you see now.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
From a human, he had turned into a half-human, half-Yao form.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Bai Maomao squirmed and nuzzled into his embrace, resting his hand on Lang Junxian’s chest.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“It’s all in the past now.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Yeah, if it weren’t like this, I wouldn’t have met you.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The air around them suddenly thickened.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Bai Maomao parted his lips, breathing deeply, his cheeks flushing warm.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“So, what do you plan to do?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Maybe we can go see Mo Qin first.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Mo Family.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Mo Qin was gently stroking a smooth-furred rabbit in his arms.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Opposite him sat a middle-aged man who looked about eighty percent similar to him.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
His expression was grim as he glared at his increasingly rebellious son.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“The Ji Family has agreed to the marriage. The wedding will be next February.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Mo Qin slowly traced the rabbit’s sleek fur with lowered eyes.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The soft texture pleased him so much his eyes narrowed slightly.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The rabbit, after being fussed over for a long time, kicked its legs in dissatisfaction and turned its back to him.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Yan Yu is hungry. I’ll take him to lunch first,” Mo Qin said, rising to leave.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Is this how you treat your father and your family?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The cigarette ashtray on the white jade table clattered to the floor.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The rabbit in Mo Qin’s arms trembled, startled, then buried itself deeper into his embrace.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Mo Qin’s indifferent expression instantly darkened.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He glided forward like a phantom to the middle-aged man, his deep black eyes bottomless voids.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“You forgot, I am now the head of the Mo Family.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“You!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Mo Juntian was stunned by his son’s cold glare.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The words caught in his throat, unable to continue.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The little rabbit nudged Mo Qin, signaling hunger again.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Mo Qin’s gaze softened immediately, carefully cradling the rabbit as he went to eat.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Midway through the meal, the steward came to inform him that there were visitors outside.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Mo Qin ignored it, focused solely on feeding his precious rabbit.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The little rabbit had a small appetite, eating only a few bites before refusing to open its mouth further.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Patiently, Mo Qin coaxed it with spirit herbs.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Yan Yu, be good, just one more bite, okay?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The rabbit turned its back on him again.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The steward stood by the table, watching silently, not daring to breathe.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
When the young master first brought back this rabbit, it was covered in blood and had long since died.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After the young master agreed to some request from the patriarch and secluded himself for nearly half a year, he returned not only with his lost cultivation restored but even stronger than the patriarch.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
And the rabbit, which should have been dead long ago, also came back to life, never leaving the young master’s side.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But upon closer observation, the rabbit always seemed slow to react, spending whole days in the young master’s arms without moving much.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The steward lowered his head, thinking deeply.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Mo Qin didn’t even glance at him, and the steward was used to this, quietly waiting aside.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
When Mo Qin wiped his hands and prepared to go to the inner courtyard with the rabbit, the steward finally spoke, “Master, the visitors say they are your friends, and also bring the Mo Family’s White Jade Order.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Oh?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Mo Qin paused.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“White Jade Order?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“What did they say their names were?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Lang Junxian and Bai Hongyuan.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Let them in.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The steward was stunned—he hadn’t expected them to truly be old friends—and quickly went to admit them.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
When Mo Qin entered, Bai Maomao almost didn’t recognize him.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Mo Qin was tall and liked to exercise, so he usually had bulky muscles, looking very robust.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Coupled with his ever-smiling face, he gave off a sunny disposition.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But the man sitting beside them was still tall, only now extremely thin.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
His black Tang suit hung loosely on his gaunt frame, making his bones seem even more pronounced.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
His once healthy bronze skin had turned pale, with an unnatural bluish-white hue.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Bai Maomao’s sharp eyes noticed something moving beneath the skin on his neck, as if a living creature was crawling there.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Even the little vine on his sleeve twitched slightly in agitation.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The three sat in silence.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Only half a year had passed, yet everything had changed beyond recognition.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Are you…alright?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Bai Maomao asked cautiously.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Mo Qin leaned back in his chair, the obedient rabbit lying motionless on his lap.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Nothing is wrong,” Mo Qin smiled, a strange aura flickering in his eyes.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Yan Yu is well, so I’m fine.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Bai Maomao was taken aback and glanced at the white rabbit on his lap.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Yan Yu?”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Mo Qin frowned, displeased.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“I don’t like others calling him that.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Bai Maomao didn’t mind his attitude and pressed anxiously, “Yan Miao, he…he didn’t…”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“No!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Mo Qin cut him off harshly, his face darkening as if the mention of that name could trigger an explosion at any moment.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“He’s fine. I will always be with him.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Bai Maomao, snapping out of his excitement, finally noticed Mo Qin’s odd behavior and looked uneasily at Lang Junxian.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Lang Junxian comforted him with a gentle pat on the hand.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
He had long noticed Mo Qin’s volatile moods and saw more than Bai Maomao did.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A foreboding deathly aura lingered around Mo Qin.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Moreover, Mo Qin’s cultivation now surpassed his own.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“We came to see you to make a deal.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The sentiment of old classmates clearly wouldn’t work, so they chose to speak frankly about terms.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Mo Qin’s hand stroking the rabbit’s fur paused.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The hostility in his eyes seemed to fade slightly, and he tried to curl his lips into a not-so-friendly smile.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“There’s no need for deals between us.”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
His voice was low and deep.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Yan Yu would be mad at me if he knew.”
