Chapter 585: Caught in a Pinch (Sorrow)
Xu Hongyi looked lost in memories, as if recalling old times.
Young Master Sang had only one thought in his head.
… This First Deity/Demon is seriously a bit slow, huh?
Instead of sticking with sweet, loyal little sister, or the all-knowing omniscient at home, they had to go out alone and experience what human affection feels like.
Take one look, and it’s obvious they’re just bored.
Oh, how miserable humans must be; after all, most of the time, life doesn’t come with a golden finger. Young Master Sang lived like a workhorse in his last life, lonely and miserable; even at death, he never experienced what it was like to be liked.
Seriously, where does this First Deity/Demon get the confidence that once they reincarnate, they’ll definitely feel that way?
If you don’t want to be the First Deity/Demon, just give it to me! Throwing everything away like this, it’s such a waste.
Young Master Sang was filled with jealousy and disdain for this First Deity/Demon in his heart, secretly cursing that during the next reincarnation, they’d end up being a laborer for a capitalist.
“Do you remember any of this?” Suddenly, Xu Hongyi turned her head, startling Young Master Sang.
“Uh… I might have a hazy memory,” he forced a smile. “But honestly, I still haven’t regained my memories. Even if we were close back then, now probably isn’t the right time to get too intimate, right?”
“Why don’t you take it easy, Hongyi? Once I recover all my memories and my powers, maybe we can recognize each other again.”
“Really?”
Xu Hongyi suddenly winked mischievously. “Then let’s go! I’ll take you straight to the First Deity/Demon’s realm to recover your memories.”
Young Master Sang: “… Huh?”
Just as Young Master Sang was stammering to come up with another excuse, Xu Hongyi covered her mouth and giggled, looking adorably innocent. “Just kidding!”
“The First Deity/Demon’s realm has long been sealed by them. No one can go in.”
“Otherwise, why wouldn’t the other deities just sneak in during their reincarnation to find them?”
Young Master Sang finally relaxed, his face stiff as he replied, “Y-yeah, right. Haha, I almost forgot about that.”
“But you can’t have forgotten everything, can you?”
Xu Hongyi suddenly stood up, twirling around on the grass, her steps light and vibrant, the bright red of her dress distinguished against the endless green.
“Don’t you remember—”
She stopped, tilted her head, and smiled at Young Master Sang. “That you once kissed me right here?”
Young Master Sang: “?”
I can’t remember a thing.
Honestly, if I don’t remember anything, whatever you say goes, right? You could say we ran around naked on this lawn, and I couldn’t dispute it!
“Uh, I really don’t remember—”
“It’s okay if you don’t. Maybe if you kiss me once, it’ll all come back.”
Then she gently closed her eyes, as if patiently waiting for something.
Young Master Sang severely doubted Xu Hongyi was just trying to sneak a personal agenda. But compared to getting struck by lightning, a kiss didn’t seem too bad.
With a deep breath, Young Master Sang carefully walked over, tentatively cradling Xu Hongyi’s face.
Her skin felt softer than he imagined, like shimmering jelly.
Just holding her face made his mouth dry, and he even felt a bit shy looking directly at her stunning beauty.
After overcoming his mental block for a good while, he slowly leaned down, bringing his face closer.
… Nothing happened.
Closing his eyes felt the same.
Just imagine it was Little Ying.
Continuously repeating that thought in his head, Young Master Sang quickly swapped out the person in front of him for Zhang Xiaoying and with a firm resolution, he leaned in for a kiss.
…
… Hmm?
You know, this kissing feeling is oddly familiar.
But Young Master Sang couldn’t quite place where the familiarity came from. Maybe it was because he had fantasized the other person as Little Ying. After all, they were like an old married couple who’d kissed a hundred times or more.
As for Xu Hongyi, she initially appeared like a shy girl in love, a bit excited, and when the kiss started, her innocence soon turned into a greedy demand.
In the end, as Young Master Sang thought he’d kissed enough, he prepared to pull back, but Xu Hongyi suddenly grabbed the back of his head and pulled him in for a passionate kiss.
It was as if she was completely insatiable, holding onto him tightly, as if lost in the moment.
Gradually, it was Young Master Sang who could no longer hold on, starting to struggle, trying to push her away.
“Mmm… mmm!”
After some difficulty managing to push Xu Hongyi away, Young Master Sang felt his lips were numb, as if they were swollen and had lost all sensation.
Before him, Xu Hongyi’s face was flushed, breathing lightly, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement.
“Remember anything yet?”
“No… Wait, did we really kiss like this before?”
“I say we did, so we did.” Xu Hongyi was blunt, “If you still don’t remember, let’s try again.”
“Wait, hold on!”
This time Young Master Sang was genuinely scared.
He feared that if they tried again, it wouldn’t just be swollen lips he had to worry about.
So, with a sweating forehead, he forced a smile. “Um, I… have bad breath. Can I just go brush my teeth first?”
Xu Hongyi tilted her head slightly. “No way.”
“I kissed you; it smells good.”
Oh please! How could it smell good! I’m a human, not a cantaloupe!
This was already crossing into the creepy territory!
Young Master Sang had never felt that a lovesick girl was so terrifying. Just being gazed at by Xu Hongyi, full of that wet, beautiful sparkle in her eyes gave him the eerie feeling of being the hunted.
Who knew if he let her keep kissing him, she’d take it further and straightforwardly pin him down!
Seeing Xu Hongyi’s little tongue once again slowly gliding along his cheek, inching toward his lips, Young Master Sang knew he might not escape this unfortunate fate.
With a heavy heart, he desperately yelled, “Don’t be so rough… I don’t like being forced!”
To his surprise, Xu Hongyi actually stopped.
“Why didn’t you say that earlier?” She snapped her fingers gently, and the surrounding scenery transformed back to that enormous palace.
As Young Master Sang was still dazed, Xu Hongyi was already holding two cups of blood-red wine.
“Since you don’t like being forced, let’s add some romance first.”
She handed a cup to Young Master Sang with a bright smile. “I’ve seen human couples do this before.”
Drinking wine? Young Master Sang breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it seemed like just delaying the inevitable, who knew how long that could buy him.
Besides, while his drinking capacity wasn’t great, he typically only drank socially without using any of his powers.
Now, if he poured it down this woman’s throat, maybe it would get her drunk, and he’d survive another day.
Thus, Young Master Sang pretended to laugh and said, “Then, cheers.”
“Cheers.”
Watching Xu Hongyi tilt her head back and drink it all down, Young Master Sang also took a sip, using his powers to evaporate the wine that had gone into his system, thinking:
… Look at this little one, do they really think I can’t drink? Let’s see if I can’t get you drunk today.

The next morning, Young Master Sang awoke in confusion, scratching his head while lying naked in bed.
… Who am I?
Where am I?
Why am I not wearing clothes?
Why does my brother hurt so much?
Did I… just get nailed?
