the next morning, yan iris was leaving with the bag of dragon scales.
in the pool of ten thousand feet deep, xuan long hunched over the swallow kite, but with his whiskers, he flew out of the water, and the swallow bird appeared on the shore, and the guards and old eunuchs who had been squatting in the bushes for a few days were surprised and happy, and rushed out when they saw it.
xuan long saw that someone was receiving yan iris, without him to worry, silently turned to return to the water, yan iris pounced on him and hugged him from behind, and whispered in his ear.
"apo..."
in the eyes of others, yan iris hugged a lump of air with red eyes, and stopped to the side with a look on his face, watching this terrifying scene.
everything that should have been said had already been said to xuan long, and yan yi hugged him at this moment, in fact, he didn't know what to say, he just felt unwilling. very reluctant.
this trip out of the palace to find xuan long, the purpose has been achieved, got the dragon scales, ning zhiyu has been saved for the time being, he should take the dragon scales and happily go back to save the heart of the right person.
as for the future, it will be said later, it is a big deal to wait for the dragon scales to run out and then ask xuan long to ask, he knows how soft the heart under the cold appearance of this dragon is.
mistle bullied him, and although xuan long did not explicitly help him out, he would silently help him behind his back and release him from the enchantment.
after all, he still couldn't be cruel to himself.
perhaps it was precisely because of this that yan yi was even more sad in his heart, he wanted to have the best of both worlds, to break free from the complicated and embarrassing situation, he hoped that ning zhiyu was in good health, he did not need to cut xuanlong's flesh and blood to continue his life, and he would not even have a word of concern in front of xuanlong.
but if there is any use, god will not be spared from life and death because the dying man wants to continue to live, nor will he feel pity for the extravagance of his ordinary man.
in the past, he could still cheekily ask xuan long if he was in pain after pulling out his scales, but now that the answer was clear, it really didn't hurt to ask. no, it would still hurt, and after the pain, he would still continue to ask xuan long to cut off the flesh and blood to save another person, so he didn't ask what was the point.
he was least qualified to ask that question.
now, a new person appeared on xuan long's side who was really willing to be good to him.
even if they weren't together now, if they got along for a long time, would xuan long still have his place in his heart?
when yan yi thought of the intimate appearance of this dragon and others, the tear glands were extremely developed, and he had never shed so many tears since he was a child. i don't know why, whenever he touched something about xuan long, his heart was too fragile to bear even a little pain and grievance.
"apo... will you fall in love with that fox demon? "
xuan long's cold green eyes reflected the calm water, and the embrace behind him made him taste the pity from the depths of his soul: "what is the meaning of saying this now?" "
"but i just want to know..." yan yu whispered in his ear with tears.
xuan long was silent for a long time and whispered back, "no." "
until now, this person's sadness has made him feel sad and difficult to sustain himself.
"really?" yan yi said happily.
xuan long narrowed his eyes and parted his hands that were wrapped around his abdomen, and his low voice was gentle.
"let's go."
"the hour is not early."
yan yi looked vaguely at the man's face with a dark gold mask with tears in her eyes: "then i will come back to you next time." "
"hmm." xuan long did not look at him.
yan yi cried like a child: "you hug me again, okay?" "
where xuan long had taken the initiative to hug him, now naturally it would not be, yan yi saw that he did not move, so he stepped forward and hugged xuan long face to face into his arms and kissed his forehead.
"apo, i'm sorry for you."
"i'll see you next time."
"i give you... bring you the delicious and fun things in the palace. "
"okay." xuanlong low response.
yan yu let go of him and turned back three times in one step: "ah bo, then i am gone..."
"hmm."
xuan long quietly stared at the handsome and matchless face, as if he wanted to carve his face into his heart.
the palace guards surrounded yan iris and warmed up, escorting yan iris to the low-key but luxurious carriage on the jungle path not far away.
when yan iris got on the carriage, looking through the lush woods to see the edge of the pool, the xuanlong who was still standing there was gone, and he hung his head in frustration and stepped on the back of the palace people.
the carriage walked slowly on the path, and chen yan's worried questions came from outside the wall.
"emperor, are you all right?" ......"
yan yi replied and said casually, "nothing." "
"these two days can make the old slave worry bad, fortunately you have returned safely, it seems that the dragon is really psychic." chen yan walked quickly outside the carriage.
yan yi barely pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "... he is psychic, he treats himself very well, no different from the terrans. you've also met him. "
chen yan was surprised: "when?" ......"
yan yi did not speak back.
the carriage was quiet for a long time, and the low and hoarse voice of the swallow kites was heard, as if talking to themselves.
"chen yan, is it really difficult to have both world affairs?" ......"
"it is clear that he is the emperor and is in charge of the ten thousand miles of the country, but why would there be such a helpless time..."
chen yan estimated that what yan yi was referring to should be ning zhiyu's affairs, and considered comfortingly: "emperor, the affairs of the world, it is difficult to have both." "
"you are born more bitter than sweet, as an emperor, you should be better than everyone else, and no matter how difficult the current suffering is, it is only temporary, and everything will be fine." 」
yan iris looked down and hid the loneliness in her eyes: "is it..."
chen yan said, "yes, you are the true dragon heavenly son, and there must be a true dragon to protect you." "
he wasn't wrong.
isn't xuan long the true dragon that guards him?
when the shadow of the carriage disappeared into the winding path, for a long time, the surface of the pool jumped several feet high, and the xuanlong hidden in the air entered the water.
mistle got up and ran over to find xuan long, and after turning around the house without seeing him, he was bumping into the returning xuan long when he went out.
"where have you been?"
xuan long's face was uncertain, and he slowly walked into the house: "go ashore." "
mistle followed him, "what about the dog emperor?" "
"left."
"really?" mistle raised an eyebrow, ecstatic in his heart. "send the plague god away."
"if you have an injury, don't run around." mistle pulled xuan long and sat down at the table. "what's for breakfast?"
xuan long: "casual." "
mistle sighed, wondering, "where in the world is there such a thing as randomness?" "
soon his eyes lit up, and he got up and walked out: "you wait, i have a new dish, make sure you like it!" "
xuan long looked at his back and summoned him, "mistletoe." "
"huh?" mistle turned back.
xuan long looked away, "i want to leave this place." "
mistletoe was stunned, what a clever fox head he was, and immediately understood why: "it's okay." "
"if the dog emperor can't find you, he won't be able to pestering you." mistle walked over to xuan long, squatted down, gently held his cold hand, and rubbed it painfully. "otherwise, you are so soft-hearted, you always tell him to bully, i will kill him, and you will not."
"rest assured, i will accompany you wherever you go."
xuan long was moved in his heart, and mu ne said, "thank you... treat me like a loved one. "
mistle frowned, "i don't consider you a relative." "
"..."xuan long's throat moved slightly.
mistle patted his head in chagrin and stood up, "no, i mean..."
"i... i, i am..."
delight you.
xuan long's dazed green eyes followed him, obviously waiting for an answer.
it was clear that it was a very simple sentence, but mistle just couldn't say it, the first time he really liked a demon, his heart was far more struggling than on the surface, and if he was rejected, he would be very sad.
no matter how strong a person is, if he likes someone, his heart will become very fragile.
it didn't matter if he lost his face, the most feared thing was that xuan long would alienate him because of this, and if this was the case, then he would find someone to cry.
"i am..." mistle hesitated for a long time, looking at xuan long's slow reaction, shy and anxious, and finally forced the child to explode: "you stupid dragon, you stupid, you... little master doesn't want to talk to you anymore! "
so he turned and ran.
"......"
xuan long never felt that anyone would really like him, so even if yan yu misunderstood what was between him and mistletoe, he would not think that mistlele would have feelings for him other than his relatives.
in his opinion, mistle is just treating him as a brother.
seeing the other party say this, xuan long became more and more puzzled, waiting for the figure of mistle to disappear outside the door, retract his sight, and murmur lowly.
"it's not... treat me as a brother. "
what is that? ......
maybe it's a friend. friends are also good.
after all, for such a long time, it was almost mistle who was taking care of him. he did not fulfill his duties as a brother.
the room was silent, yan iris came here for only two days, and then left, it felt as if something was missing, xuan long's heart was empty, and his palm illusioned the iris jade pendant that had changed from before, slightly lost his concentration.
after today, never see each other again...
this meaningless relationship should be the end. after that, whatever was about the man, he was no longer in charge.
no more care.
a little more than half an hour later, xuan long felt a sharp tingle coming from his heart, his face suddenly faded to blood, he fantasized about the jade pendant in his hand, muffled and covered his heart, and a strong burning sensation appeared in his palm.
opening the palm of my hand, i saw a flash of blue light, slowly opening a beautiful iris...
it's no different from the one in the hands of yan iris...
xuan long stared at the pale blue petals in a daze, not understanding why this flower suddenly appeared in his palm, he stood up on the table, and a strong and bad premonition appeared in his heart.
meanwhile.
thirty miles away on the official road, a group of black-clad dead soldiers and yan iris's plainclothes guards tangled into a group, the black-clad dead soldiers were fierce, the force was high, and it didn't take long for the strictly trained guards to fall halfway down one after another, and the blood on the ground merged into a stream, dyeing the soil dark red, and the dark place was crawling with archers ready to attack.
"quick, escort the emperor away!"
the elder bodyguard shouted to help chen yan cover the retreat of yan yi, the curtain was lifted, yan yi got off the carriage with a gloomy face, and in the chaos, a poison-quenched arrow attacked his heart with a momentum like a broken bamboo——
