She paused and said, "What happened later proved my brother's speculation."
"Xiao Xi's blood fed the sacred tree. Not only did it not wither, but it actually flourished."
Chi Sui lowered his eyes and looked at Amara: "Amara, tell me, since you brought Long Xi here, where were you when Eric locked him up for ten years, having his scales pulled out, his blood drained, and his bones extracted?"
"Where were you when he unknowingly accepted the Demon King's crown?"
"Where were you when he was besieged and exhausted by the Twelve Pure Demons?"
"Where were you when he was unable to reach adulthood and suffered the pain of losing scales and bones year after year?"
"When he met Eric again and was dealing with Eric, where were you?!"
"Amara, didn't you say you truly treated him like your own son?!"
"Tell me, is this your love?"
"You allow pain and suffering to run rampant, only occasionally providing companionship and indirect benefits. Is this your love?!"
Amara looked at Chi Sui, who was almost hoarse, and opened her mouth, but said nothing.
"Feel sorry."
"You should say this to Long Xi."
Amara hung her head. "I'm so sorry."
Chi Sui took a few deep breaths, wiped the tears from his eyes, and said in a calm tone, "Take me to see Long Xi."
"I want to see him."
Amara was silent for a moment and stood up.
"Come with me."
Chi Sui followed Amara to an open space. Amara slowly stretched out her hand, and in a moment, a void appeared.
Chi Sui saw that there was a very huge tree on the other side of the cave.
Under the tree, there was a blurry black dot, which should be Long Xi.
"Come in."
Amara looked at Long Xi's figure in the void cave with a complicated expression, her voice very low.
Chi Sui was about to walk in, but couldn't help but stop.
With his back to Amara, Chi Sui said calmly, "If an innocent person has to be sacrificed to prolong the life of the sacred tree, then I don't think the sacred tree is a so-called god."
"God has no desires."
Amara was stunned, then her pupils slowly contracted and her face turned pale in an instant.
Chi Sui, who had his back to her, didn't see it.
"Also, don't think that I will confess this to Long Xi on your behalf."
"When we come out from under the sacred tree, you will tell him yourself."
After saying that, Chi Sui walked in without hesitation. Just as the hole was about to disappear, Amara suddenly stretched out her hand, wanting to hold Chi Sui, but when she saw the hole slowly disappear, she paused.
It wasn't until the cave entrance completely disappeared that Amara murmured with a pale face: "Are we wrong?"
"Have you never considered sacrificing Long Xi to prolong your life?"
"So that's why you didn't want to meet me or give me power after that incident?"
Amara hung her head, her eyes empty. "But why?"
"You asked me to bring him into this world...why on earth was that?"
"Please tell me... Mother..."
………………
Looking at the huge tree in front of me that blocks out the sun, I don’t know what emotions I should feel.
Amidst the swaying grass, Long Xi lay at the foot of a tree, his face pale.
There was a deep wound on his wrist, and blood dripped from the wound onto the tangled tree roots.
Chi Sui walked to Long Xi step by step with difficulty and squatted down, but Long Xi did not react at all.
He breathed evenly.
Chi Sui, who had seen him sleeping countless times, knew very well that he was asleep.
As if he had had a beautiful dream, his expression was peaceful and relaxed, and the corners of his mouth were raised like a child's.
The small light points rising from the grass fell on him, giving him a soft glow.
Chi Sui suddenly felt reluctant to wake him up.
Because in her impression, Long Xi rarely has sweet dreams.
But looking at the wound on his wrist...
Chi Sui lowered his eyes, gently lifted his wrist, took out the medicine he carried in his bag and applied it to him.
Long Xi frowned slightly and opened his eyes reluctantly.
When he saw Chi Sui, Long Xi was stunned. He blinked slowly and that sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.
He leaned in closer, smiling as Chi Sui bandaged his wound: "Why didn't you turn golden this time?"
Chi Sui was stunned. As he bandaged his wound, he asked, "What's that golden color?"
Long Xi did not answer.
He stretched out his right hand and gently touched Chi Sui's cheek with his knuckles.
"This looks good."
“Don’t get all golden.”
Chi Sui's expression was a little strange. He realized that Long Xi might not be fully awake yet, so he smiled wickedly and moved closer: "What happened last time? I don't remember. Can you tell me about it?"
Chi Sui suddenly came closer, making Long Xi a little stunned.
"Last time..."
He stared at Chi Sui's lips in a daze, and suddenly stretched out his hand and hovered it near Chi Sui's lips.
He tilted his head: "Chi Sui, can I touch your lips?"
Chi Sui was stunned.
Seeing Chi Sui stunned, he muttered softly: "It's okay, it shouldn't matter in a dream."
After he finished speaking, he gently stroked Chi Sui's cheek with his left hand. Because of his relatively large frame, Chi Sui's face looked particularly small in his hand.
Before Chi Sui could react, he felt a gentle and ambiguous caress on his lips.
Chi Sui’s eyes widened.
Long Xi gently pressed his thumb on Chi Sui's moist lips to outline the lip shape.
itch.
An itch like an electric shock.
At this moment, both of them had the same feeling.
The strange feeling made both of them stunned.
"not enough……"
Long Xi murmured.
He frowned in confusion.
I don’t know why I have done what I wanted to do, but why it still feels not enough.
What exactly needs to be done...to be enough?
The content of the comic book under the bed suddenly flashed through his mind. Long Xi was stunned for a moment and his body involuntarily moved closer.
Just when he was about to kiss Chi Sui, he stopped.
At this moment, their lips were only one centimeter away from touching.
Chi Sui's mind went blank.
Gurgle.
Long Xi swallowed his saliva and stepped back a little. He looked a little confused: "No... Even in a dream... I can't..."
thump
thump
Long Xi was halfway through his speech when he suddenly heard a rapid and intense heartbeat.
His eyes slowly widened, and the two heartbeats intertwined together. Being so close, Long Xi suddenly became a little more sober.
Will the person in the dream also have such a violent heartbeat like him?
The Demon King was stunned for three seconds, and suddenly his whole body turned red. He abruptly let go of the hand that was caressing Chi Sui's cheek, stepped back a little embarrassedly, and then pinched himself hard.
As if he had confirmed something, Long Xi was stunned.
