TRT -Chapter 44 Moonset and the Cawing Crow

He was ecstatic.

He was dumbstruck.

She was dumbstruck too.

And I… was drooling.

For a moment, none of us spoke.

Luochuan was probably lost in savoring the essence he had just tasted, checking if it was pure. Moreover, with his “if I want it, I take it” mindset, he didn’t even think to ask the person beneath him if they agreed.

Ying didn’t speak. Considering that a normally oriented boy being kissed by another boy for the first time is psychologically shocking, it’s understandable that he was temporarily frozen.

Yueluo’s expression had returned to calm. Could it be that male beauty was still highly prized in this era? But the way she looked at Luochuan was clearly hostile.

I, on the other hand, was busy observing everyone’s subtle facial expressions while rapidly rating this BL pairing in my mind!

• Facial attractiveness: ___ points! No argument!
• Body attractiveness: ___ points! No argument!!
• Suitability of seme/uke: With Luochuan as the seme, that’s… ___ points! No argument!!!
• Coordination between the pair: Although he’s the uke, he’s actually more imposing than Luochuan. But Luochuan is much sturdier physically, and his presence is overwhelmingly dominant. Hmm… let’s give it 8 points. However, judging by the fiery anger in his eyes, Luochuan, your mission to completely tame this strong-willed uke is still long and arduous… I’d say 6 points is more accurate for now.

Damn it! Who the hell are you?! Pervert!!

I am Luochuan.

I don’t know you! We have no past, no enmity! What do you want?! Who sent you? Wait… could it be that old demon Babao sent you to mess with me?!

You don’t recognize me? Hmm… indeed, you’ve never seen my face. But we did ride in the same carriage.

What?

Luochuan lowered his voice, lips brushing against Ying’s ear…

Pushed away in disgust. Damn it, speak up if you have something to say! What’s with whispering, big man… What?! You say you’re…!! But your… your face… you! I… I don’t care! Then why kiss… kiss…

You’re blushing… is it anger or embarrassment?

Luochuan, you’re in the wrong too. You forced yourself on him from the start; it’ll be hard later. You have no sense of gradual progress. It’s obvious you’ve never had to pursue anyone… uh, indeed, you never had to before…

Smack!

Huh? Smack? What was that sound? A bamboo stick broke? No, it’s deeper… more like… a whip! Hitting the ground? No, hitting flesh! …Right arm… so painful!

Look down—so much blood. Is it mine?

Found you~ A girl’s voice, delicate and sassy…

I looked up in a daze, and the situation in the room had drastically changed!

Out of nowhere, a group of people in short red outfits leaped in, each moving with precision, wielding strange weapons, advancing and retreating like the wind! Another group in black teamed up with the few silken-clad followers Luochuan brought to resist the red-clad intruders! Luochuan protected while retreating, and the grey-clad figure in front of me… Guo’er?

Grey looks stylish, but he still looks best in black… Huh? Why does Guo’er look so anxious? Relax, I just got whipped a bit and bled, that’s all. Let me check later, as long as there’s no scar… Stop looking so worried… My head’s spinning… Guo’er, don’t just talk, do something… Hey, who’s that little beauty in the bright red with a whip? So gorgeous! Wait… the whip… could it be you who whipped me… eyelids so heavy…

“Minmin! Minmin!” Guo’er grabbed the fainted person and glared at the red-clad girl floating lightly at the window. “Who are you? Why make things difficult for a girl who can’t fight?”

Heehee~~ The red-clad, sassy girl twirled her wrist, forming a beautiful whip flower. “As for me… I’m the Left Protector of the Wujijiao. Why I trouble her… you’ll know once you beat me!” Before she finished, she launched herself forward!

Guo’er leapt with agility, drawing his long sword to block the whip aimed at Minmin! The two clashed fiercely!

A whip is a difficult weapon to master, but once mastered, it’s extremely powerful—a perfect balance of soft and hard, point and surface defense! The red-clad girl was no weakling, and with her long whip’s strength, she fought Guo’er to a stalemate!

Elsewhere, the black, red, and silken groups were evenly matched, but Luochuan was not to be underestimated. Even while protecting Ying, a few decisive moves had already turned the tide!

Seeing the situation turn against her, the red-clad girl feinted, then scattered countless fine silver threads, scooped the fainted Minmin in one arm, and leapt out the window with a charming smile:

“This long-sword-wielding young man is impressive! I like it. Today I’ll break the rules and tell you—I’m Wuti. Remember me! Heehee… I’m taking Minmin with me~ Farewell!”

While everyone dodged the hidden weapons, Wuti vanished without a trace. The red-clad attackers inside withdrew cleanly, taking the corpses of their comrades as well—swift, thorough, highly practiced!

Guo’er wanted to pursue but was stopped by Luochuan:

“Don’t chase. Wujijiao’s martial skills are only mid to high level, but they’re masters of escape. We can’t catch them.”

“Just let it go? Guo’er clenched his sword tightly—Minmin is still in that witch’s hands!”

“Let it go?” Luochuan sneered. “Anyone who dares harm people from Weiyang Sect doesn’t get off so easily.”

No sooner had he spoken than Luochuan snatched the treasured sword offered by the silken attendant, pressing the tip against Yueluo’s throat as he sat on the floor. Coldly:

“Speak! What’s your connection with Wujijiao?”
