However, all he heard was a cold and low voice reply, "You said it's none of your business. Why should I tell you where I'm going?"
In the end, all that was left was a proud and slender back as the figure flicked his sleeves and walked away.
Shu Yao was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he felt that the distance between him and Shu Yue was so far.
Shu Yue was no longer the one who used to pester him stickily. Nor was he the cute child who used to follow him around and call him 'Daddy' in a soft voice.
Instead, he was an unruly man who responded coldly to Shu Yao's heartfelt concern.
Shu Yao slumped onto the bed. His gaze fell on the red thread. He picked it up in his hand, and it seemed to stir the once-frozen coldness in his heart.
Although he was angry about Shu Yue's overstepping behavior, he was also worried that Shu Yue might lose control and let out the power inside him.
Now that Shu Yue had a non - ordinary body, if he hurt someone outside, what could he do?
Helplessly, he could only hurry to find Shu Yue, hoping that nothing too serious would happen.
The bustling market at night was full of activity. There were especially many food stalls on the street and people making lanterns.
There were also people by the Wishing River. The night lanterns were rising slowly into the sky, as people hoped to make a wish for their fateful encounter in the colorful lights.
It was a pity that while there were many couples by the Wishing River, there was only one man in black standing there alone.
He had a handsome face and a noble air. It was a pity that there was no beautiful woman beside him to match his elegance.
Shu Yue looked at the night lanterns but couldn't find the one that belonged to him. Thinking of the conflict with Shu Yao just now, sadness welled up in his heart.
He just thought it was ridiculous. Shaking his head, he left the Wishing River and the night lanterns behind.
He bought a pot of wine to drown his sorrows. Dragging his black robe, he staggered with a swaying body. If it weren't for his handsome face, people might have thought he was just a drunkard.
Everyone who passed by kept a distance from this man who exuded a cold aura. Although he was drunk, his sharp eyes made him untouchable.
Shu Yue was so drunk that he was staggering. His messy black hair was scattered on one shoulder. He kept pouring the wine, but it spilled from the corner of his mouth, running down his Adam's apple and chest...
He was so drunk and confused that he accidentally bumped into a figure. Then he heard an angry curse, "Who the hell is so blind!"
Already in a bad mood, Shu Yue looked up and saw a burly man glaring at him fiercely with his eyebrows raised.
However, the next moment, the man's ugly face softened a bit, but his squinted eyes flashed a lewd and careless glint.
Although he was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked wealthy, he couldn't hide his dirty and evil soul.
Two of his lackeys whispered in his ear quietly, "Boss, look how handsome this young man is. Is he to your taste?"
"Yeah, look at his appearance and figure. He's better than those you've had before. How about we..."
The burly man raised his hand to signal his lackeys to shut up and sized up the drunk man in front of him.
He had a face as if carved, beautiful but not effeminate, with a combination of softness and toughness. Although his eyes were half - closed and blurred, they perfectly showed the slenderness and charm of phoenix eyes. His chest was half - open, unable to hide his heroic figure under the black clothes.
This man with such distinct features was the first one he had ever seen. The man's neck with wine drops on it was so long and alluring that he was drooling with desire.
"Get out of my way. Don't block me." Shu Yue pushed the man away impatiently. Just as he was about to leave, he was grabbed back.
"Hey, don't go. You spilled wine all over my clothes. You haven't given me an explanation yet." The man pointed at the wet edge of his gold - trimmed clothes. His burly body blocked Shu Yue's way.
Shu Yue straightened his slightly bent body. With cold eyes, his powerful aura actually gave the man a sense of oppression.
The man felt that this feeling was so strange. Although he was stronger than Shu Yue in build, he swallowed nervously.
"I'm sorry for spilling on you, but a good dog doesn't block the way. Please get out of my way." Shu Yue was already in a bad mood, but he still tried to keep a relatively calm attitude.
Hearing this, the man immediately got angry, "Who the hell are you calling a dog!"
"Whoever answers my words is."
"Damn it, I think you need a beating," he called out to his lackeys behind him, "Guys, take him back. I'm going to teach him a good lesson today."
At this moment, he was thinking about how to torture this man when they got back, how he would make the man submit under him and beg for mercy.
Thinking of this, his ugly face showed a lewd and disgusting smile.
Since Shu Yue was drunk, he couldn't use his normal strength in a fight. A lackey punched him and he was knocked to the side.
The wine pot broke into two pieces. A faint smell of blood came out of his lips and teeth. He suddenly turned around. His sharp eyes like an eagle's shot a cold light straight at the opponent. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb forcefully.
The weakened strength just now was suddenly ignited by his anger. The irresistible power inside him was awakened. All the blood in his body rushed to his head. From his bones to his tendons, and to his strong body, every corner of his body was filled with a powerful impact and explosive force.
Shu Yue slowly got up. His charming phoenix eyes were suddenly filled with blood - red. Against his face, he looked even more handsome, not like an ordinary person.
His natural cold and powerful aura made the three men not dare to move. Their limbs trembled slightly as they stared blankly at this man with blood - red eyes.
Because from this man, they could only see killing and blood - thirst. He was completely different from the weak and drunk man just now.
A burning like a raging fire was surging in his lungs. Shu Yue's long hair and clothes fluttered in the wind. The hands that came out from his long robe were covered with dense vines as his anger rose. Slowly, the vines covered his strong arms. Occasionally, blue veins popped out, and his fingers grew sharp nails.
"This, this..." The three men were so scared that their lips trembled. The burly man even peed his pants. His limbs trembled and he wanted to run away but couldn't move his feet.
At this moment, Shu Yue just stared at the three men with wide - open eyes. He didn't notice the change in his hands. He just couldn't resist the anger in his body and wanted to make the three men in front of him disappear.
Just as he was about to reach out his hand, he was suddenly stunned by his vine - covered hands. His dark - blood - colored cold eyes showed a look of surprise.
Looking at the three terrified men in front of him, he couldn't imagine how terrifying he must look now.
"How, how could this be... What's going on?" He wanted to make his hands return to normal, but he was completely powerless.
Moreover, every time he raised his hand, the power in his body became stronger. He tried to suppress the anger in his heart, but it burned more and more fiercely when he faced these three men.
When Shu Yao arrived, he saw a Shura who seemed to have walked out of the purgatory of ice and fire. From afar, he could feel the bone - chilling evil aura.
"Shu Yue!" An anxious and familiar ethereal voice suddenly rang out. It also gave the helpless Shu Yue a ray of hope.
"Daddy..." The blood - red cold eyes gradually dimmed. Shu Yue stared blankly at the white - clothed man running towards him.
"Shu Yue, are you okay?" Then he turned to the three stunned men. With a cold look in his eyes, sharp as a knife and cold as ice, he said, "Get out of here!"
