Chapter 137: Intoxicated by Love

[Where is this place...]

[Sunshine, warm and cozy...]

[There seems to be a sound of water dripping...]

Xia Yuan closed his eyes, feeling himself resting on a soft surface.

He likes it very much, very much...

I really want to sleep like this, with my beloved...

Xia Yu'an turned over and hugged the soft waist beside him.

Suddenly, Xia Yu'an started and opened his eyes.

There was helplessness and confusion in his eyes.

What do you like? What do you love?

Xia Yu'an's ears turned red.

The person in front of me asked, "Are you having a nightmare?"

Xia Yu'an's vision gradually went from blurry to clear, and he could finally see the face of the person in front of him.

Silver hair that shines in the sun, beautiful and noble silver eyes, and a calm temperament.

The white snow in spring falls on the earth.

If not my brother, then who could it be?

【elder brother……】

Xia Yu'an frowned and covered his head with his hands.

Scenes flashed through my mind.

In a world of steel skyscrapers.

Born! Born!

Many people surrounded him, including his brother's face.

On a cold rainy night, there was blood flowing on the ground, and a man was kneeling on one knee with a knife in his hand.

And he hugged the man tightly.

Take care of your brother like a mother...

In the distant ancient world, the man in red hugged himself and slapped his buttocks...

On the icy snowfield, the cheetah ran with me...

What are these?

No, that's not right.

He clearly remembered that when he came here, a strong red light emanated from behind him...

Three Lives Stone!

The man in front of him was looking at Xia Yu'an with concern, and he looked exactly like Xia Silan.

Is my brother coming in too?

But the person in front of him didn't give him the feeling of being a brother.

No, not my brother at this point in time, to be exact.

Although Xia Yu'an was still immersed in the dream just after waking up, he was still able to think.

People's behaviors, feelings, personalities, and reactions to the outside world are subtly different at each stage, each age group, and each time point.

Even world views and feelings.

This is why if you interview a person about the same question a few years ago, they will give different answers.

The same survey questionnaire may have different answers.

"I...I saw some strange past events."

The man smiled and patiently answered him: "When the world was first created, chaos was born. This is the boundless upper world. You were saved by my spiritual power. It is normal to see some strange things in parallel worlds during your dreams."

"Are those all true?" Xia Yu'an grabbed Xia Silan's sleeve.

Xia Silan placed his slender hand on Xia Yu'an's and patted it: "Maybe."

"maybe?"

"It could be the reality of a certain time and space, or it could be just a fantasy of yours." Xia Silan extended his hand affectionately and pinched Xia Yu'an's little nose: "I can't look into your magical little head, so who knows?"

He stood up and brushed off the dirt on his body: "Get up, your coming of age ceremony is coming soon, get ready so you can be baptized when the time comes."

"Will you wash it for me?"

The man blinked and said in a blank tone: "Of course."

At this time, someone came and announced:

"Immortal Lord Si Lan, Immortal Lord Chong Ming is here!"

"Really?" Xia Silan said in surprise: "I'll go take a look."

He flew hurriedly in the direction where his servants were leading the way.

Xia Yu'an looked at Xia Silan's anxious figure, with a hint of loss in his eyes.

He has never shown this side of himself before.

The little spirit beast cat demon stared blankly at Xia Silan's receding back.

After a long time, Xia Yu'an stood up and looked at the tree behind him and the grass leaves that were tilted by his sleep.

Xia Silan, myself, Chongming...

What is this...?

A past life of his and his brother? A previous life? Or even... the first life?

As chaos began to unfold, Xia Yuan was more inclined towards the first life...

Soon, the memories and emotions of the "original owner" overwhelmed Xia Yu'an's mind, and he was completely occupied by them.

Xia Yu'an stared blankly at the "cat's tail grass" in front of him. The emperor had specially found seeds for this and ordered his servants to plant it for him.

This is the Heavenly Palace, Xia Silan is the Phoenix Emperor, in charge of the Star Palace.

And he is a spirit cat rescued by Emperor Si Lan.

He was raised by Xia Silan single-handedly, from his childhood until now when he is about to reach his coming-of-age ceremony, and tens of thousands of years have passed.

And he, without knowing when, had already fallen in love...

Deeply in love.

However, the Emperor only treated him as a pet, or a younger generation who was raised by him. He pampered him, indulged him, coaxed him and took care of him, but there was not a trace of love for him.

What he wants is not the love from elders, but the love between adults.

He had crossed the line many times over the years, but the Emperor just thought he was being coquettish and willful and didn't understand.

The more this happened, the more he wanted it.

Xia Yu'an pinched the cattail grass in his hand tightly.

Although the Emperor raised him, he was neither his relative nor his teacher. But if one had to talk about it, there was still a sense of taboo.

But the more taboo it is, the more he wants to take a peek.

Who said I can’t be with the Emperor who took care of me when I was growing up?

Xia Yu'an looked in the direction where Xia Silan left, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, but as he thought about it, he gradually became determined.

His eyes became clear, and the blue sky of the early morning was reflected in his pupils.

Xia Yu'an lowered her thick eyelashes. Chongming Immortal Lord was a close friend of the Emperor. They had the same status and were both called Immortal Lords in the Heavenly Court. Their strengths were also comparable.

Of course, it was not that he was biased. In Xia Yu'an's opinion, the strength of Immortal Lord Chongming was actually incomparable to that of the Emperor.

The fighting power of the Emperor is unmatched in the entire Heaven.

But at least Immortal Chongming is on equal footing with the Emperor.

What about him?

Am I going to be so ignorant and let the Emperor favor me for the rest of my life?

a kitten.

Picked by the Emperor.

An unwanted kitten.

He was unwilling to accept it.

When will the Emperor come back?

He waited and waited, taking some herbs to study, trying to figure out how to make the elixir and how it could benefit the Emperor.

The sun sets in the west.

Finally, a red and snowy figure appeared on the horizon.

The beautiful shadow came closer and landed on the grass in front of Xia Yuan.

Xia Yu'an threw away the herbs, transformed into a human form and rushed towards Xia Silan: "Emperor!"

Xia Silan nodded in response and stretched out his arm to support him: "Why are you so impatient again? Be careful not to fall."

"I'm not going to fall. I'm 28,000 years old. I'm going to be an adult."

"Even though he's an adult, he's still a little cat that sticks to me."

"Hmph..." Xia Yu'an lowered his head and saw what Xia Silan was protecting in his hand: "What is this?"

A red flower.

The Emperor can actually pick flowers?

And I got it back.

Is it for me?

He is very curious.

Xia Yu'an reached out to grab the flower, but unexpectedly Xia Silan took a step back and hid the flower behind him.

He touched nothing and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Xia Silan didn't explain: "Let's go."

Xia Yu'an felt empty inside and didn't ask any more questions. He just turned around, picked up the herbs he had just thrown away, lowered his head and followed Xia Silan home obediently.

Xia Yu'an looked at the flowers in Xia Silan's hand, then looked in the direction of the Star Palace of Chongming Immortal Lord.

Could this flower be for Chongming? Or was it given to him by Chongming?

.

The two of them always slept together.

Xia Yu'an hugged Xia Silan's waist and rocked gently.

"Emperor, I have been having a dream recently."

"What?" Xia Silan said softly, "I dreamed of tall buildings again. Am I in a different world?"

Xia Yuan shook his head: "No."

"That is, millet tofu and dried fish?"

"That's not right!"

"That's - cattail grass?"

The little civet swung its tail in embarrassment: "How is that possible!"

His eyes were full of tears and he was about to cry because of being bullied by Xia Silan.

"Really?" Xia Silan chuckled, "Then what did my little cat dream about?"

"It was a long time ago... a long time ago..." Xia Yu'an's eyes became ethereal and distant.

"That was when the world truly began..."

"You and I are staying in a place that is pure white and has clouds. It is very similar to this place, but more empty and quiet than here." Xia Yu'an's arms tightened slightly.

There seemed to be moonlight in Xia Silan's eyes, and his silver pupils seemed to have traveled through tens of millions of years.

Xia Yu'an: "You are the ancient god born with the nature of heaven and earth, and I... I am your cat, a ferocious beast."

"It's not a ferocious beast, it's a spiritual beast." Xia Silan corrected.

"But they are all afraid of me, and you won't let me go out."

Xia Silan's Adam's apple moved.

Xia Yu'an didn't notice and continued, "But I'm smart. If you don't let me go out, I'll secretly disguise myself as an ordinary kitten and trick them into thinking I'm missing! I'm also looking for that beast! Then they won't bother with me anymore."

Xia Yu'an raised his head, feeling a little proud.

Xia Silan reached out and touched his cat ears: "Naughty."

"But later... Fengjun... I don't remember what happened to you... I only remember that the heaven began to be controlled by someone... his name was Buddha..." Xia Yu'an yawned, holding his hand, his eyelids trembling, drowsy, "Ha... tell me... is this all true... meow..."

Xia Silan couldn't help laughing.

"You remember." He stroked Xia Yu'an's hair.

"Uh..." Xia Yu'an only vaguely heard Xia Silan's voice.

"What...remember?"

"You were seriously injured during that trip to the lower world." Xia Silan leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I hope you will never forget it."

The little cat was already fast asleep, and no one knew whether it was alive or dead. Xia Silan got up, filled the flower with water from the spirit pond, and kept it in a vase.

He turned around, found a file on the bookshelf and opened it. At the beginning of the bamboo slips in the file, the word "baptism" was vaguely written.

.

baptism day.

The sunlight shines on the baptismal font, which is filled with light-colored water that is not high and very clear.

Standing below were many people from the Phoenix Palace, including disciples, guards, and elders.

Xia Yu'an, wearing a flowing white dress, walked past the baptismal font.

His clothes left his arms and legs exposed, and he was barefoot in the pool, which just reached his ankles.

Step by step, move towards the top.

Xia Silan was waiting for him.

Xia Yu'an was wearing a wreath on her head, but her eyes were looking elsewhere.

He glanced at the red flowers blooming on a nearby tree, his expression becoming distant.

Xia Silan stood at the top, took his hand and straightened his seat.

Xia Yu'an suddenly came to his senses.

Xia Silan raised a phoenix tree branch in his hand, and the Phoenix Divine Water on the branch sprinkled over Xia Yu'an's hair.

The wind blew his hair, and the hair passed through his eyes.

Xia Silan lowered his voice: "You will be an adult from now on, what are you thinking about?"

Xia Yu'an tilted her head slightly and brushed the flowers on her hair: "It seems no different from usual."

Xia Silan's eyes were fixed on the wreath, his pupils sparkling.

Xia Yuan lowered his head.

Xia Silan took a silver hair crown, removed the wreath, and put it on him.

Xia Silan took Xia Yu'an's hand and stepped onto the platform. Then the boy turned around, like the most beautiful elf in the world.

His eyes were clear and pure, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his glance could last for a thousand years.

"From now on, Xia Yu'an is the Lord of the Star Palace. When I'm not around, everyone will have to obey his orders."

"Yes." Everyone was surprised and surprised, but they all knelt down respectfully: "Congratulations, Emperor, congratulations to Lord Yu for coming of age."

With golden splendor, jade delicacies, glazed green tiles, the entire palace was filled with singing and dancing.

Xia Yu'an walked through the corridor, which was the inner courtyard of the Star Palace. The noise from outside seemed to be transmitted in intermittently through a layer of gauze.

The baptism banquet was coming to an end, and all that was left was people drinking and partying on their own. He grabbed a palace maid and said that it was Xia Silan who was in Fengchun Pool.

Xia Yu'an, holding a jade pot in his hand, stepped onto the jade steps of Fengchun Pond.

There was fragrant mist rising and clouds and smoke lingering inside, like a dream or fantasy.

A tall figure, wearing a translucent gauze, was soaking in the pool, closing his eyes and resting.

He had his hands half-supported behind his head, looking relaxed. He opened his eyes when he heard the noise:

"You're here."

Xia Yuan paused.

"Shouldn't I come?"

Xia Silan smiled and stretched out his hand to Xia Yu'an: "No, I'm waiting for you."

Xia Yuan clenched the pill in his hand.

He looked hesitant and walked towards Xia Silan step by step.

Today, Immortal Chongming also came to congratulate us, and the two of them talked for a long time during the day.

Immortal Chongming and Xia Silan often compete with each other in martial arts. I believe that both of them regard each other as their confidant and only opponent.

Xia Silan held Xia Yu'an's hand as she walked over: "Today is your coming-of-age ceremony, but I didn't get to congratulate you or accompany you properly."

"Now, it's time for you and me."

"You are always busy and have to entertain guests. I understand." Xia Yu'an said hoarsely, "I don't mind."

"Really? Then I'm leaving?"

Xia Yu'an held him tightly and bit her lower lip.

Xia Silan couldn't hold it anymore and pinched his little face: "I'm just teasing you."

"snort!"

The two of them fell into the water under Xia Silan's force. The moment they soaked in the warm pool, Xia Silan took out the red flower from somewhere.

"What is this?" Xia Yu'an's eyelids twitched, his expression cold.

Xia Silan said: "I was walking back with Chongming that day and saw it on the roadside..."

Xia Yuan: “…Oh.”

"I think it's beautiful and suits you very well, considering that the wreath for your coming-of-age ceremony was not made by me."

Xia Silan handed the flowers to Xia Yu'an.

This flower is bright red and has been well preserved even though it was picked long ago.

Xia Yu'an took a deep breath silently, feeling surprised and happy.

So this flower is for him?

"I, I also have a surprise for you..." Xia Yu'an lowered his head, clutching the white jade wine jug, his face slightly flushed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for raising me for so many years." He handed the wine pot to Xia Silan's mouth.

"You were born with me, so you can call me brother." Xia Silan lowered his eyes.

"Brother..." Xia Yu'an hugged Xia Silan's neck tightly and snuggled into his arms.

Xia Silan raised his head and drank the white jade wine in one gulp.

The white mist in the hot spring pool seemed to be thicker, and the graceful figures were difficult to see clearly.

Xia Silan's figure swayed slightly, and a blush appeared on his face.

"I……"

His hands clutched the jade belt of his bathrobe tightly.

There was a rare look of helplessness and depression in his eyes.

Xia Yu looked at Xia Silan steadily, trying not to miss any expression on his face.

Xia Yu'an unbuttoned his clothes one by one: "Brother, I am an adult now... I am willing to... comfort you..."
