He Has a Sickness that Needs to be Cured Chapter 291

He went over to hug Lin An, buried his face in his neck and said, “It's okay, you can wear it if you want.”

Lin An responded, kissed Xi Ning on the forehead, and put on the mask.

After delaying for a while, the two started to move towards the center again.

In order to get to the magic tower before the mercenary group, Lin An took a shortcut, which was a little more difficult than the normal route. Fortunately, there would be no monsters that will attack them. Lin An always carried Xi Ning on his back or hugged him on their way so their speed is quite fast.

On the way, Xi Ning asked Lin An whether he wanted to contact Ferro and the others to tell them that he was safe and told them not to look for him, but to go back quickly.

He still doesn't know that Ferro has already left with the flower, and even if the head of the mercenary group can receive his message, he may not believe it.

Lin An did not agree, “We'll talk about it when we return to the tower.”

Xi Ning didn't continue this topic. The mercenaries and guards who entered the ghost forest were carefully selected and there were only a few of them. Xi Ning only hoped that they would not encounter any danger here.

In the evening, Lin An stopped to find a place to rest. There was no cave like the night before, and Lin An didn't have a tent or sleeping bag in his storage bag, so he found a clean grass field, laid out the bedroll and placed tables and chairs in the open air. He then took out something for Xi Ning to eat.

“Your Highness, please bear with me for the moment.” Lin An opened the can, took out a new pair of chopsticks and handed them to Xi Ning, “We will reach the center soon.”

Xi Ning shook his head, “When I used to live in the Cliff Valley Forest, I also stayed in the woods like this every day.”

Compared to being served in a carriage, he prefers to stay with lush vegetation. The longer he stays in the ghost forest, the more he can feel the forest's friendliness and closeness to him. It looks completely different from the outside.

Hearing Xi Ning mention the Cliff Valley Forest, Lin An didn't answer. He also ate something briefly, and put away the tables and chairs after Xi Ning was full.

It was the first time for Xi Ning to sleep on the grass in the open air. The weather was fine tonight. After lying on the bedroll, he could even see a few stars shining in the night sky. Lin An came over and lay down beside him. Xi Ning turned his head and saw that he had taken off his mask.

Xi Ning's eyes lit up, he turned over and leaned on Lin An's body and kissed him as a reward.

Lin An held his waist, wanting to talk to him, “Your Highness……”

Xi Ning frowned, “Don't keep calling me Your Highness.”

“Then……” Lin An showed hesitation. He didn't know Xi Ning's real name. He had asked others about Xi Ning's real name before when he was in the convoy, but others also didn't know. “What should I call you?”

Xi Ning propped up his upper body, took Lin An's hand and wrote his name on his palm.

Lin An silently recited the word “Xi Ning” in his heart, Xi Ning lay back down again, with all his hair scattered on Lin An's neck, “You have to call me Ning Ning, that's what people close to me call me.”

“Okay, Ning Ning.”

This intimate name seemed to bring him closer to Xi Ning. Lin An turned sideways and straightened Xi Ning's hair, “How many close people does Ning Ning have?”

Xi Ning originally said it without thinking, but upon hearing this, he snuggled into Lin An's arms and said, “Of course you are the closest……”

Lin An hasn't gotten used to being so intimate with Xi Ning. Although Xi Ning likes him, it's only been two days since he took Xi Ning away and revealed his identity in front of him.

Since Xi Ning was not sleepy at the moment, he asked, “Before you came here, did you ever hear about me?”

Xi Ning realized that he was talking about his identity as an evil magician. He had heard this title

from the dwarf. Perhaps because he was not deeply connected with this world, he didn't feel too immersed when he heard the dwarf talk about it.

Plus he didn't know his true identity in this world until he confirmed who Lin An was, so he didn't have any worries. After all, he had even been a villain before, an evil magician is really nothing to him.

Xi Ning replied truthfully, “I've heard a little bit.”

“Ning Ning, are you not afraid of me?” Lin An asked, hiding part of his right face in the pillow, “Aren't you worried that I will harm you?”

He was originally a child who grew up in a slum, and he was born with this appearance. Later, by accident, he followed a dark magician. For that period of time, he did many evil things.

Later, he killed his “teacher”. In order to prevent outsiders from entering, he released all the magic beasts locked under the tower, destroyed all the magic teleportation circles in the forest, and left this place.

Lin An never denied other people's evaluation of him, he was just confused why Xi Ning didn't seem to care about his identity when he said he liked him.
