Volume 2, Chapter 42 (Chapter 80): I Want To Join That Secret Society!

In the end, Bai Kai Shui was still holding onto Lu Yibei from behind, and both of them left the park, still stuck to each other.

A dark shadow loomed over Yibei, and he was determined to deal with the side effects of devouring cores as soon as possible. If he wasn’t careful, Daydream’s memories might plague him again, and Shui might just take his virginity, whether he likes it or not.

‘Even if he is a handsome homosexual, I can’t let him have his way with me!’

‘Or… maybe I can just remain a girl. He’s gay, right? That way, he wouldn’t be interested in me.’

Lu Yibei caught himself in his thoughts: ‘Wait, staying as a girl? What nonsense!’

He chalked it up to Daydream’s memories once again.

Doing something embarrassing with Shui is just the surface. If he was caught while vulnerable by other strangers, bad things might happen to him.

Just as he was thinking, Shui’s deep voice whispered in his ear.

“Bei, what’s on your mind?”

“Well, I was thinking of how you can join my father! Six feet underground! When that time comes, I’ll have several men play the trumpets for you as they lower your coffin beside my father’s grave.”

“Again, with this,” Shui sighed. “Anything nice to say?”

“Why were you looking for me?”

“Can’t I just come to see how my godson is doing?”

“Whatever. I need to get to my uni. I’m going to be late,” Yibei huffed as he turned around.

“W-wait!” Shui grabbed Yibei’s arm. “It… it’s getting dangerous lately. Do you want to come live with me?”

“You’re joking, right? I’d rather not stay at your place.”

When Lu Yibei was discharged from the hospital, he decided to stay at Shui’s house, thinking that staying with someone familiar would help him heal faster. However, all it did was add more wounds—mental wounds.

This was because Shui would invite women over to his house on a daily basis, and next door, Yibei could hear them performing exercises all night.

‘Think about the single people like me!’

Plus, if he lived with Shui, he would surely find out about his other feminine form.

He wasn’t sure if Shui would hide the fact that he was a budding witch since he was from the Night Division himself. He might just report him and lock him up!

“I-I understand! If you come to stay with me, I won’t invite anybody over, promise!”

Yibei understood the message another way, and goosebumps erupted all over his body as he put his arms around his chest: “N-no! Have some respect for yourself; I’m your godson!”

“That’s not…” Shui sighed as he stared into Yibei’s eyes.

He was strangely serious, and Yibei felt uncomfortable. He had never seen Shui this serious before.

“Bei, I know you don’t like me very much, but I’m here to protect you.”

‘The Eclipse Society is becoming more active. If you come to stay with me, I can guarantee your safety.’

He didn’t say that part out loud.

“It’s not good to be overly protective,” Yibei muttered. “Why don’t you teach me to protect myself?”

He was trying to let Shui reveal himself as a member of the Night Division.

It seems like he was still unprepared.

“Alright, kickboxing or muay thai, pick one!” Shui joked.

“What if… I join a strange society. Maybe I can wield strange weapons that will protect me at night!”

“Ah, anything for you. I’ll look for a good society for you to join.”

“Oh! So you do know a place like this! What’s the name of it?”

Lu Yibei remembered their contract, which stated that revealing the existence of the Night Division was an extremely severe offence.

“I was just joking with you. Of course, societies like this don’t exist,” Shui scoffed.

Shui refused to budge. Seems like his only way in was through Jiangli or An Qing.

Lu Yibei got into Shui’s car, and he drove him to his university.

Although he didn’t want to ride in his strange-smelling car, due to their confrontation outside the park, he was very late for class!

This time, Bright’s overly studious memories plagued his own.

‘Man, I’m going crazy.’

Just as his gay car drove away from the park, a beautiful woman wearing a baseball shirt and a camera hanging on her chest appeared.

She held a piece of paper containing an address, and she would stop strangers to ask for directions.

“Excuse me! Have you seen a petite girl with white hair and pink streaks? She wears a big coat, and I’m looking for her!”

“Nope. Sorry.”

“Excuse me! Have you…”

“No! I’m not buying your products!”

The girl sighed weakly. Nobody knew who she was talking about.

Du Sixian sighed. When she woke up this morning, strange things plagued her vision.

She managed to find the general area where the girl named Lu Yibei lived, thanks to the taxi driver, but it seemed that nobody recognised the girl she was looking for.

‘Maybe I should ask a psychic to help me,’ she muttered, getting into another taxi.
