above the ninth heaven, yan iris stepped on the clouds and followed the slender blue line floating in mid-air in front of him, he flew extremely fast, standing without moving, his robe flew over, and his half-bunched and half-cloaked long hair danced with the wind.
suddenly, the blue line snake-like twist and fly downwards, followed by the swallow kites, brushing away the clouds, and below was a lush and quiet valley.
after the rain, the fresh air of the valley exudes a hint of coolness, and a huge stone stele stands on the right side of the entrance to the valley, and the stone stele is chiseled with the word "dragon realm", which is vigorous and powerful.
the moment yan iris landed on the ground, the clouds disappeared from under his feet, and he gazed deeply at the name of the land on the stone tablet painted with red paint, and his heart was tight.
this is where xuan long was born in this lifetime.
entering the realm of soul consciousness, you should be able to see more of xuan long's past.
and along the way, when you get here, it means that you are getting closer and closer to the rebirth of xuanlong... soon, he could see the dragon standing alive in front of him.
without staying too long, yan yi dissolved the soul box from the spirit sea and held it in his hand, raised his sleeve and waved his body and disappeared in place, he followed the guidance of the blue line of the soul box into the valley, and when he reappeared, it was in front of an elegant small bamboo building.
the blue line drilled back into the gem of the soul box from mid-air, and a blue glow continued to bloom inside the gem, proving that the right place had been found.
at the moment of stepping into the realm of soul consciousness, the sky was filled with lightning and thunder, torrential rain, and the intertwined lightning tore the gray sky into countless pieces, and after the sudden light enveloped the earth, it instantly darkened, followed by a rumbling thunder.
the rain poured down all over the sky, yan yi's body was dry as usual, his soul did not belong to this world, no matter how big the rain and snow could not help him, but the people in this world were not necessarily.
he seemed to turn around consciously, and saw that not far away, the soaked man in xuan clothes was walking towards this side, the man in the xuan clothes was holding a person in his arms, the person was very tall just by looking at the weight, the weight must not be light, the xuanlong was thin, holding such an adult man, every step was very difficult, the footprints on the ground were light and shallow, and they could fall at any time.
the person being held was seriously injured, with an arrow feather in his heart, the white robe on his chest was stained with blood, and his face was washed pale by the rain, and xuan long would occasionally hug the person in his arms, rub his forehead with his cheek, and murmur something.
the swallow kites could not hear clearly.
but through the rain and fog, you could feel xuan long's trepidation and helplessness at this moment.
it was as if the man in his arms was something that was important to him, someone who could not be lost at all.
when xuan long carried the unconscious man through yan yi's body, yan yi saw clearly the face of the person in xuan long's arms, and the person who was being held was himself.
after experiencing xuan long's various soul realms, yan yi was no longer as easy to get out of control as he had been at the beginning, and he was gradually able to remain calm and face all this with the mentality of a bystander, telling himself that those were all over, and from now on, his apo would not have such a hard life.
however, there are times when it is really impossible to calm down.
for example, at this moment.
seeing the stubborn dragon, in order to save his life for the healer, yan yi hugged himself and knelt down in the heavy rain and lowered his head.
"please..."
"please save him..."
hoarse, trembling, humble, begging.
"can't you go?" don't go i go. "
"just kneel here, i won't care until tomorrow." the healer was reluctant to lend him a helping hand, and the door of the bamboo building was slammed
xuan long knelt motionless as if he had not heard, as if the healer did not agree, he would kneel until tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or forever.
for he wants to save the life of his lover.
but what kind of lover is he, from the beginning of the deception, and finally the ugly truth is revealed, normal people should go far, where there will be people desperate to save those who betrayed themselves.
so stupid, so stupid, xuan long was afraid that he was the only one.
yan yu knelt down beside xuan long, yelling at him, shouting, telling him to go, leave him alone, the person in your arms is an ungrateful bastard, you don't torture yourself for him.
xuan long was inaudible.
what had happened long ago would not change because of yan iris's regrets.
he saw xuan long holding himself and kneeling in the rain for nearly two hours, and the healer finally softened his heart, opened the door and came out, saying that he was willing to save this human, but there were conditions.
the condition is that the dragon horn that xuan long is left with.
xuan long didn't want to think about it and agreed.
as he had clearly said, having a pair of beautiful dragon horns was a very proud thing for their dragon clan. there is only one left, how can it be given to others like this?
that's a no-brainer.
it seemed that the existence of yan yi was more important than everything that xuan long had.
the dragon's horn is the reward for saving people as a healer, and to really save, you need one thing.
long neidan.
inside the bamboo building, in front of the bed, the healer asked xuan long.
"you think about it, this neidan gave it to him, your ten thousand years of daoist deeds will be dissipated, you are pregnant now, without neidan, the fetus will eat away at your soul power to grow, and when the time comes, you can live for at most three years."
"are you really going to destroy the ten thousand years of daoism for him?" is it worth it? "
not worth it.
yan yi answered for him in his heart.
not worth it, not worth it, not worth it at all... apo, don't be so soft-hearted.
yan yi shook his head with red eyes and prayed, praying that xuan long would not say that answer in his mouth, so that he could feel better.
"i think so."
"ask the seniors to help." xuan long's low, gentle voice resounded in the room.
he was firm but indifferent, as if he were buying some insignificant commodity, rather than sacrificing his own neidan and sacrificing his life. his gaze had even been glued to the unconscious man on the bed, never leaving for a moment.
next, yan yi witnessed the process of his own treatment.
witnessed how neidan was forced out of his body by xuan long and how he was integrated into his body by the healer.
he cut off the dragon's horns for him.
the healer advised xuan long to remove the child in his belly, so that he could still have a hundred years of life like ordinary human beings.
xuan long said, "... i don't give up. "
he was full of expectations, thinking that yan iris would love this child as much as he did, he sent yan iris back to the palace, promised yan iris to stay, decided to ignore the previous suspicions, forgot the fact that he had been deceived and used, and spent the only three years left by yan iris's side.
he thought that yan iris would protect the child.
but yan iris did not, yan iris forced him, tortured him, and accelerated his three years to exhaust, so that he could not even last a year.
at the end of the dream, the scene turned to the palace, and he pestered xuanlong to make fun, after which xuanlong hesitated and said that there was something he wanted to ask him.
it was rare to see a man so nervous, yan yi was very curious, but before xuan long finished speaking, someone outside spread the word that ning zhiyu was seriously ill, and yan yi didn't want to leave xuan long and leave.
the dragon sat stunned on the bed and looked out the window for a long time.
the 'swallow kites' in the soul consciousness realm disappeared, and the actual yan irises could appear in front of xuan long.
he was very unhappy in his heart, and deliberately went around to the door, made the illusion of going and returning, and pushed the door in.
hearing the movement, xuan long turned his head to look at it, and saw that it was yan yi who had returned, and some of them could not react: "how did you come back... he..." i wanted to ask ning zhiyu how it was, the words came to his mouth, and there was no exit, after all, he was not so generous, unable to calmly care about the physical condition of his sweetheart's lover, so he turned his head sideways and looked down without words.
yan yi walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, gently grabbed xuan long's hand and held it, and smiled softly: "don't you have something to say to me, i have to listen to your words carefully." "
xuan long raised his ice-green eyes to look at yan yi, and his throat knot agitated, "i..."
if he had inked like this before, yan yi would have been impatient, but now he would not, and in the future, his patience would be given to his lover and children. "well, you say."
xuan long was very embarrassed, and he lowered his eyes for a long time before he opened his mouth with difficulty.
"...... i am pregnant. "
although the four words are light, they can be heard clearly.
yan yi remembered his shocked performance when he learned the news, which really hurt the dragon's heart. that thing even had to be dropped by xuan long, but fortunately their baby was now in good condition.
"oh, if you're pregnant, then give birth." he blushed and smiled.
how nice it would be if i had responded to him in the first place...
xuan long's hand hanging on the futon unconsciously tightened, and he pretended to ask indifferently, "you really think so." "
sensing his uneasiness, yan yi shook his hand vigorously and looked at him frankly: "what do you do with such an expression, i am happy with you, and i will love our children well." "
"hmm." sure that yan yi didn't look like he was lying, xuan long relaxed all over his body, looking down to hide the joy that rose up in his green eyes, and murmured lowly. "then i'm relieved..."
"what's the worry?" swallow iris is like a fish in the throat, knowingly asking.
xuan long shook his head, "nothing. "
he was going to leave this matter, and no matter what, he wouldn't tell yan yi, which yan yi knew very well, because xuan long was afraid that he would be upset.
yan yi did not puncture, weaving his own beautiful dream in the dream: "apo, i will not be the emperor anymore, i will take you away." "
xuan long turned his head in surprise, "... where to. "
"wherever you want to go, we will go, and in the future, you, me, and children, the three of us will live together, okay?" ......"
xuan long was silent for a moment: "what about your queen?" "
yan yi smiled, "i let him out of the palace and gave him freedom." "
"i have you enough."
xuan long frowned, "but..."
but i don't have much time to live.
yan yi did not speak, waiting for xuan long to answer. with a whisker, xuan long opened his mouth faintly.
"you married the queen, you should treat him well."
yan yi looked at the man's cold side and said dumbly, "but i don't love him." "
xuan long's eyes were confused and he murmured, "... you don't love him? "
previously, yan yi clearly did not say that.
yan yi said that ning zhiyu was his sweetheart, and if ning zhiyu died, he would also die.
"i love you." yan yi said hoarsely and in a loud voice to xuan long. "apo... i love you. "
if you don't say it today, you may not have a chance in the future.
"...... you must have drunk too much today. xuan long instinctively drew his hand back.
he had long been confused and did not want to fall into the swamp and lose himself.
yan yu grabbed xuan long's hand and pulled him into his arms, wrapped his arms around xuan long's back, and before xuan long could react, he held his face with the other hand and leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
the breaths of the two men intersected, boiling hot and burning, xuan long forgot to struggle, yan yu's loving kiss landed on his eyelids, between his eyebrows, and asked hoarsely.
"don't you like that i love you?"
"......"
he liked it.
i like it so much that i want to die.
