"Is that so? That's good." Sid tapped the table and fell into thought.
Yun Wei thought the other party was considering a fair and reasonable transaction plan, but unexpectedly, he suddenly heard the other party say, "Yun Wei, actually I'm really scared."
He then raised his head and gave a soft hum, "Hmm?"
“That day, when I saw Silver fall to the ground, I felt like my world had collapsed.” Facing Yun Wei, Sid finally revealed his vulnerable side. “In that instant, many strange sounds appeared in my mind, like demons whispering in my ear. I… even wanted to destroy the whole city.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Wei immediately comforted him, saying, "This is not your problem, Sid. He is an Apostle of the Abyss. Isaac and Richard have encountered the same situation before. You know they are always good at manipulating people's hearts."
“No, that’s not what I meant.” Sid shook his head. “In the blinding lightning, I saw that silly boy actually smile at me. He’s really stupid, but I really love him.”
Having known each other for so long, this was the first time Yun Wei had seen Xi De so incoherent, so he listened quietly.
Sid said, "I used to despise making magical items for nobles to save their lives. But on that day, I was incredibly grateful for my skills in this area, but behind that gratitude was an indescribable fear."
"You mean, that kind of contradiction?" Yun Wei asked tentatively, "For example, hating a power, yet having to rely on it for survival..."
Sid glanced at Yun Wei in surprise, his expression somewhat strange.
His expression was so exaggerated that Yun Wei awkwardly shut up.
"What kind of philosophical question is this? What are you thinking? I'm really curious about what you went through in Bili." Seeing Yun Wei's hesitant expression, Sid laughed, and the atmosphere finally eased. "I mean, I'm afraid I won't be so lucky every time."
After all, the path he was determined to walk with Silver was a swamp full of thorns.
Such assassinations will not be a one-off event, but will occur many times, like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to devour them when they are living in peace.
Yun Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He had been thinking about life too much lately and was already quite saturated with that thought. Fortunately, Sid wasn't referring to that aspect.
“Then teach me how to make magical items, Sid. At least we still have enough time before the Puppet Showdown begins,” Yun Wei said very sincerely.
Sid readily agreed, "Sure thing, that's exactly what I was waiting for."
Whether it was Yun Wei's imagination or not, the other party's gold-rimmed glasses seemed to reflect a kind of cold light, reminding him of the various rumors in Alchemy City.
But if it can help Sid, doing some hard labor wouldn't be a bad thing, since they are partners who trust each other.
...
The negotiations between Sid and Uncle Xie went exceptionally smoothly.
Uncle Xie readily pulled out a notebook he had prepared long ago, which contained various farming tips that had been passed down, summarized, and improved by Bili City. It was a thick stack of notes that the Duke and Duchess of Bethlehem treasured and cherished.
The master craftsman who had come from afar was allowed to begin his studies in the alchemy laboratory, just as Yun Wei had done at the beginning.
But after all, others have been immersed in this field for most of their lives, and their progress is incomparable. The skill that Uncle Xie showed in front of the furnace alone was enough to earn everyone's respect.
These are all things to be discussed later, so let's leave them aside for now.
When Yunwei and Isaac returned to their room, which they hadn't seen for some time, they were both unable to contain their emotions.
They hadn't been alone like this in a long time.
Yun Wei was pinned against the door by Isaac, nibbling at her lips.
The other person's arm was propped up above his head, creating a narrow space filled with the other person's scent, which made him feel exceptionally at ease.
Physical actions are a form of honest communication; though silent, they are all the more direct and frank.
Amidst the rising temperature caused by lack of oxygen, Yun Wei quietly opened his eyes.
In the swaying world, Issa also had his eyes lowered. The other's eyelashes were unusually thick, trembling slightly in the dim light, and ripples spread across Issa's heart.
So he couldn't help but hook his arms around the other person's neck.
Noticing Yun Wei's gaze, Isaac stopped what he was doing and gently stroked his master's face with his fingertips. "What's wrong, Yun?"
Yun Wei, panting, met the other's gaze calmly and said, "I miss you. Look at me." Look at me forever.
If you close your eyes, I won't be able to see those smoky gray eyes anymore.
"I know, I'm sorry, I was just... too engrossed." Isaac admitted somewhat shyly, and then pecked Yun Wei on the cheek.
This time, he stared intently at Yun Wei with his eyes wide open.
A current seemed to surge through Yun Wei's body. He spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse: "Isa."
The tall knight stood very close to him, almost whispering in his ear, "I'm here."
Yun Wei lowered her eyes and whispered, "I miss you, hold me."
A simple kiss could no longer extinguish the flames in his heart; he craved Isaac's touch and desired more.
Isaac was stunned for a moment; he was clearly embracing his master.
But he quickly understood that Yun Wei's meaning was very subtle.
His Adam's apple bobbed, but his eyes darkened slightly.
How could he not want it? As a powerful warrior, his robust physique naturally fueled his desires in that area, only his current body...
If Yun Wei had not signed a blood pact with him, the consequence of doing so would have been that the other party would have boiled over and died from blood loss.
But Yun Wei was unwilling to sign such a demonic contract with him.
Isaac wanted to respect the other person's wishes.
But at the same time, he worried that if he revealed everything, Yun Wei would risk everything for him and forge a blood pact with him. Just as Yun Wei understood him well, he understood Yun Wei very well.
The blood pact chosen by the other party is one that he would never agree to.
Seeing Isaac fall silent once again, Yun Wei couldn't help but feel a little resentful. He didn't know what his lover was worried about, but he was willing to believe Isaac.
He raised his chin, reached under the other man's chin, and gently bit Issa's Adam's apple.
As he wished, the other person trembled all over, the suppressed tremor like the earth at the time of the Awakening of Insects, reaching all the way to the tip of his tongue, soothing his melancholy at this moment.
“Then let’s compromise, Issa.” He reached out and gently scratched the other’s head. “Let’s play the ‘Don’t Move’ game one more time.”
"..." Isaac looked at Yun Wei in silence, then finally straightened up and replied hesitantly, "Okay."
Yun Wei didn't mind that his palm inevitably left the other person's fluffy hair.
He stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Isaac's ear, and maliciously warned, "Don't forget to look at me."
