This Damned Thirst for Survival

Chapter 210: Jealousy



Jiang Luo wanted to summon Chen Long from the Ring of Yin and Yang.

Jokhang Temple is built on a hill, and in the early morning the mist is so thick that you can barely see the hilltop. If Jiang Luo could summon Chen Long and ride him around the temple in the clouds, if not in the air, it would add to the "Jokhang Temple has a real god" scheme.

Every morning at four or five o\'clock, the white mist is at its thickest. Jiang Luo would arrive on time at the top of the mountain to try to summon the dragon, one of the twelve animals of the zodiac.

He had enough power to summon any of the zodiac signs, but Chen Long did not want to respond to him. Not because Jiang Luo could not summon it, but because the dragon was lazy and arrogant and did not want to be summoned so easily by Jiang Luo.

But the more arrogant he became, the more Jiang Luo became interested in taming him. In order to conquer him, he only sleeps three or four hours a day and spends the rest of his time with Chen Long. This perseverance has made Sai Liaoer very happy with him.

Sai Liaoer would never have been able to survive if he had been asked to do the same as Jiang Luo. Although he doesn\'t understand Jiang Luo, it doesn\'t stop Sai Liaoer from watching with fear and admiration as Jiang Luo returns every night at midnight and leaves at dawn.

After five or six days in a row, Chen Long finally managed to escape from the Yin Yang Ring. He is lazily perched on top of a boulder, his claws dangling, his thick golden tail swaying in and out, his whiskers fluttering in the wind, and his appearance is very heroic.

Although listlessly snoozing, it does not detract in any way from Chen Long\'s imposing presence. The Golden Dragon is a magnificent, athletic creature. Golden runes flow slowly over its body, as cold and stern as golden scales. With just one glance, Jiang Luo was mesmerised.

Who hasn\'t thought of having a dragon as a mount?

Jiang Luo\'s eyes burned as he gingerly moved over to Chen Long\'s head and tentatively reached out to touch it, gently complimenting him, "You\'re so handsome."

Chen Long doesn\'t seem to have heard him, not giving Jiang Luo the slightest response. Instead, it seems to stretch its body, making it even more powerful and powerful. The sharp claws of the dragon are deliberately exposed, and with a single stroke on the stone, the whole boulder splits in half.

Jiang Luo\'s heart was on fire, he looked at the golden dragon with the same eyes as if he was looking at his lover, his gaze became even hotter, his voice took on another degree of sincerity, "You are so powerful, worthy of being a legendary dragon, not only are you good looking, you are also so powerful, I have never seen a dragon as powerful as you, no wonder you are so hard to summon, you must be the strongest of the twelve zodiac signs A zodiac bar ......"

"Your dragon horns are also beautiful, with patterns on them, and they look hard too, can\'t they easily knock down a mountain?"

Jiang Luo\'s words grew softer and softer, kind words were delivered at no cost, and Chen Long\'s whiskers rose in pleasure as he gave a snort of enjoyment.

This human with mixed breath has a great eye.

But it didn\'t notice that while it was engrossed in the sweet words of the dark-haired youth, the dark-haired youth was unknowingly on the verge of climbing onto its back.

Right now!

Jiang Luo fiercely rolled onto his back and mounted the golden dragon, taking a firm grip on its two horns.

Chen Long was furious, his eyes snapped open, a pair of unmistakably realistic, narrow dragon eyes, furious, the tyranny in these eyes shocked others from the soul level, the golden pupils were cold and furious, he roared and charged into the air, the strong wind almost blew Jiang Luo off Chen Long\'s body.

Jiang Luo grabbed Chen Long so hard that he pressed his body down against him before he actually flipped over.

The dragon\'s horns are held and Chen Long struggles furiously, several times narrowly trying to rip Jiang Luo off his back. Jiang Luo was able to overcome the danger time and again, and when he looked down, the Jokhang Temple was slowly becoming the size of a palm.

The disobedient Chen Long is still rolling around in the clouds, tossing and turning at 360 degrees. Jiang Luo really likes his energy and laughs out loud as he holds back his stomach.

This loud laugh clearly enraged Chen Long, and the golden male dragon threw back its head and roared, its tail stopping, then reversing its direction and rushing straight towards the mountain.

Jiang Luo\'s heart was beating in his throat as he stared straight at the mountain in front of him, not letting go of the dragon\'s horn in his hand.

By the time Jiang Luo was ready to crash into the mountain with Chen Long, Chen Long swung his tail and rose straight up the mountain wall, stopping flat and steady on the flat ground at the top.

It shifted impatiently and snorted, but lowered its head so that Jiang Luo could get off it.

Jiang Luo knows that he has tamed this beautiful and tough Chinese zodiac animal.

From that day onwards, Jiang Luo spent days and nights on top of the mountain practising his dragon riding, while Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu were in a great hurry.

The 15-day deadline given by Chi You is down to the last four days.

Both of them had a string of blisters on their mouths, and they were worried every day. In the first few days they tried all sorts of things, but Jiang Luo\'s whole heart was tied to Chen Long and he was not even hinted at.

In the last four days, a tough move had to be made, and if it didn\'t work out it would really be over.

Evening.

Jiang Luo was on his way up the hill to ride Chen Long around in the dark, when he passed the courtyard and saw Ge Zhu standing by the well, talking to someone on the phone.

"Brother ......"

The word drifted into Jiang Luo\'s eyes, causing Jiang Luo, who hadn\'t cared, to stop in his tracks and prick up his ears to listen to the content of their conversation.

But Ge Zhu had already ended the call. After seeing Ge Zhu put down his mobile phone and walk towards the house, Jiang Luo coughed his throat and called out to Ge Zhu, pretending not to care, and asked, "Ge Zhu, who are you talking to on the phone?"

Ge Zhu said honestly, " Ge Wuchen, I asked him how he was finding the information on Teng Bi and he said it was too late today and he would ask Chi You about Teng Bi tomorrow."

Jiang Luo froze and raised a step towards him, " Chi You\'re back?"

But he was vaguely vague.

Jiang Luo has been so busy taming Chen Long these days that he has forgotten about Chi You and hasn\'t paid attention to it for days.

But on second thought, Jiang Luo was a little uncomfortable.

Chi You is back, how come he doesn\'t know?

Didn\'t the guy say before he and he parted that they would go to each other after they were done with their own business?

He was a little upset, but this was forced down by Jiang Luo. He gave Chi You the excuse that this was a sacred Buddhist site and that Chi You was now seriously injured, so he could not get in at all and certainly would not come to him.

Jiang Luo felt comfortable again at the thought, and he involuntarily raised a smile, "When did you get back?"

But Ge Zhu, who was questioned, was so rambunctious that he never got to the point Jiang Luo wanted to hear, "I think he\'s back, I don\'t really know. Jiang Luo, you know what? Ge Wuchen told me that Liao Si, the corpse hunter we used to race with, was one of them! That\'s the old Liao family of the Xiangxi lineage of corpse catchers, he actually defected to Chi You too ...... That fatalist\'s followers are also spread all over the sky and the earth, I heard that among his followers are also people from the Xuan Ling Office, how do you think that group of people from the Xuan Ling Office are his followers ...... "

Ge Zhu has mentioned everything but Chi You.

Jiang Luo listened patiently for a while, seeing that Ge Zhu was getting further and further away from the topic, he couldn\'t help but interrupt, "Did Ge Wuchen say anything else about Chi You?"

Ge Zhu shook his head and said, "No."

Jiang Luo frowned imperceptibly as he clasped his arms and raised his chin for Ge Zhu, "You contact him."

"Who?"

Jiang Luo said, "Ge Wuchen."

He paused and added, "Video call."

Unlike Jiang Luo Chi You, the Ge brothers had a secure contact, not to mention a video, so they could search for each other by their live numbers. Ge Zhu obediently sent a video request to Ge Wuchen, who soon agreed to a video call.

Jiang Luo stepped forward to stand beside Ge Zhu, his eyes glancing across the camera. He swallowed the words "Give Chi You your phone" and frowned, "Where are you."

Instead of his monk\'s robe, Ge Wuchen wears a rare casual outfit, a hat and the red lips and white teeth of a university student. The backdrop is brightly lit, the tiles on the floor reflecting the harsh light, and a small table with plates stacked against the wall, apparently in a restaurant.

Jiang Luo had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and his brow was furrowing deeper and deeper without him noticing. Ge Wuchen, not expecting him, froze visibly, and then began to look to his left, "Master Jiang is still up so late, is there something you want from me?"

Jiang Luo stared at his every expression, lowered his voice and slowed his tone, and asked again, word for word, "Where are you, and are Chi You with you?"

"Master ...... is here too," Ge Wuchen\'s eyes began to flicker as he dodged the camera somewhat, "Master Jiang, I have things to do now, I\'ll talk to you later, goodbye."

When he finished, he hung up the video call without waiting for Jiang Luo\'s consent.

This is definitely not right.

Jiang Luo didn\'t know what Ge Wuchen and the others were doing here, but his expression clouded over uncontrollably as he dialled Ge Wuchen\'s video request again.

No one got through and after a while the video request was actively disconnected.

Ge Zhu said cautiously, " Jiang Luo, what\'s wrong with you?"

Jiang Luo did his best to put on a smile as he tossed the phone to Ge Zhu, "It\'s nothing, I\'ll go back first."

Ge Zhu raised his voice behind him and asked, "Aren\'t you going to the mountains?"

Jiang Luo went straight to his room, his voice wrapped in a layer of cold air, "No, I\'m not going."

After lying in bed, Jiang Luo tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Ge Wuchen\'s strange expressions and mannerisms flashed through his mind over and over again, and the more he thought about them, the more Ge Wuchen\'s averted eyes became magnified in his mind, repeatedly planted with all sorts of deeper meanings.

Why would he be afraid to look at me?

What are he and Chi You doing?

Jiang Luo spent most of the night thinking about it, and it was only in the early morning that he drifted off. Before Jiang Luo knew what had happened, Wen Renlian\'s cheerful voice rang in his ears, "Jiang Luo, I have a great thing for you to hear."

Jiang Luo yawned, "What\'s good?"

"You can break up with Chi You now!"

Jiang Luo\'s remaining sleepiness was gone in a flash, "What did you say?"

Wen Renlian was full of spring in his eyes and said joyfully, " Chi You came back from outside two days ago, he also brought back a lifesaver, it is said that the lifesaver saved Chi You when he was injured, he even got injured for Chi You and was taken to the hospital by Chi You. "

"Last night, Ge Wuchen and the others were called out by Chi You to treat the man who saved their lives to dinner. I heard that he was not used to the hospital food, so Chi You took him out for a change. You have never been so considerate after Chi You became a ghost? Has Chi You ever been so considerate since he became a ghost? And bring someone back? He definitely had a thing for that guy."

Wen Renlian said with relief, "Ge Wuchen even took a photo of them having dinner and showed it to Ge Zhu. Jiang Luo, you\'re free, you\'re completely free, you don\'t have to deal with Chi You for us!"

Jiang Luo was silent for a moment, "Where are the photos."

Wen Renlian actually produced a photograph for him.

The photo shows a group of people around the table, all of them Chi You and his men, except for one young man. The young man is fair-skinned, has short hair, looks clean and gentle, has a shy but sunny smile, and is looking at Chi You with Yu Guang in his hand.

The photo is a random one taken by Ge Wuchen, obviously from a clandestine angle, with Chi You only half in, his posture relaxed and casual, the expression on his handsome face muted, but he is positively droopy-eyed, his bony hand holding chopsticks and placing them in the bowl of a strange young man.

Jiang Luo looks at the photograph and a strong sourness mixed with anger rises up madly as he stares deathly at the movements of Chi You\'s hands, his eyes growing dry from not blinking for so long.

Wen Renlian is still having fun, "That\'s a good thing, right?"

Jiang Luo tugged his lips up with an effort, but his eyes were sombre, "Right."

Wen Renlian said, "No, we have to celebrate!"

He hurried away.

Jiang Luo was still looking at the photo for a long, long time, until the phone went off the screen and he realised he had been looking at it mindlessly for half an hour.
