Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler Chapter 339

Chapter 339. Bad Karma Came with Bad Things (I)

“I brought company,” Xu You said lightly, “My guard will be here soon.”

“Childe Xu, are you referring to the guy with martial arts? Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed because he is not coming within a short time.”

Xu You's face turned cold when he heard this. “What? What did you do?”

“It seems that Childe Xu is very concerned about your subordinate. Please rest assured, as long as you cooperate, your man will be fine.”

The man in black smiled, but his eyes were very sharp, and he walked towards Xu You.

Xu You was not afraid at this time, but suddenly smiled.

The person in black thought Xu You's smile was strange. “Childe Xu, what are you laughing at?”

Xu You grinned. “Your stupidity of course!”

The man frowned suddenly. “What did you say?”

Xu You kept silent. At this moment, when the man in black wanted to attack Xu You, the deadly threat made his entire back stiff, and he hid away instinctively.

However, it was too late.

Suddenly, he smelled a scent.

Out of instinct, he knew the scent was dangerous, but it was still too late.

The man in black fell down the next moment.

Xu You breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Doctor Liu.”

Liu Suifeng waved his hand. “It's okay. Could you stand aside? I will apply some poison for him.”

Xu You nodded, and then stood afar.

At this time, Shi also arrived.

Xu You looked at him immediately. “Big Brother Shi, are you okay?”

Shi shook his head. “I'm okay.”

Xu You didn't let out a sigh of relief until now. If Shi was injured, Long would blame him until his death!

Fiddling for a while, finally, Liu Suifeng said, “Okay, come here.”

Xu You and Shi walked over.

When they got there, they saw Liu Suifeng knocking on the man's head.

Then, the man opened his eyes in a muddled manner.

Liu Suifeng pulled down the man's mask, and at the same time tore a layer of skin from his face.

Of course, it wasn't the man's skin, but a mask for disguise.

Xu You was very surprised. “This mask looks so real.”

“Because it's made of real human skin,” Liu Suifeng said.

Xu You's face changed, feeling not funny anymore.

Liu Suifeng looked at Shi. “Feel free to ask.”

Shi raised his eyebrows. Then he really started asking.

“What's your name?”

“Wang Jiu.”

“Who is your master?”

“The Crown Prince.”

The Crown Prince? Shi's eyes blinked.

“What is the task the Crown Prince entrusted to you?”

“Get something on Xu You.”

“Then did you get anything?”

“Nothing useful, but we know that Xu You is a member of the Tianlong Dynasty, and may have something to do with the Royal Family of the Tianlong Dynasty, so we can chicane him.”

“So you wrote Xu You that note and tricked him out?”

“Yes, if he comes out, we will catch him, press him to tell his secrets, or control him in our hands. Then Fang Shuoyang won't be a problem to His Highness.”

“Do these thoughts come from you and your partners who are responsible for this task, or did the Crown Prince tell you?”

“It's his consultor, Zhu Qingzi, who enjoined us those details.”

“Zhu Qingzi. Does the Crown Prince trust her very much?”

“Yes, indeed, and he likes her very much.”

“Oh? Like her? She slept with the Crown Prince?”

“Not yet, but the Crown Prince wants her.”

After that, Shi asked some more questions.

The man answered very obediently. After Shi got all the information he needed, Liu Suifeng broke the man's neck.

“Maybe we can get more answers from him,” Shi said.

Liu Suifeng shook his head. “My poison is very strong, so I need to burn him, otherwise I'm afraid it will be contagious.”

Shi paused and nodded. “Fine.”

Liu Suifeng burned that person quickly and disposed the spot.

“Since we use fire, it would be better if we leave here as soon as possible.”

So after that, they left quickly.

When Xu You returned to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Fang Shuoyang held him into his arms before he could stand still.

Fang Shuoyang's embrace was warm, but also a little stiff.

Xu You patted him on the back. “It's okay. I'm back safe and sound, see?”

Fang Shuoyang let go of Xu You and then checked his situation very carefully. He was relieved after confirming that Xu You was really not injured. Long was also outside at this time, but his current identity was just a guard.

Therefore, even though he was very worried about Shi, he still couldn't move forward.

At this time, Fang Shuoyang waved his hand. “Leave us, all of you.”

“Yes, master!” Long, Shi and others hurriedly took the opportunity to get back.

After returning to the room, Long severely pulled Shi into his arms. “You are finally back. I'm very worried about you.” Shi's gaze was soft. “Don't worry, I'm fine.”

“I can't be relaxed if you just say so. Come on, let me have a check on you. I want to make sure you are really fine!”

Shi twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling a little helpless.

However, he was more moved at this moment.

Therefore, Shi was checked by Long motionlessly. After the inspection, however… the atmosphere changed a bit!

When the temperature between them was rising, when their breathing became rapid.

Long held Shi, whose clothes were almost stripped by him.

Shi's feet were off the ground, so he wrapped his hands around Long's neck directly.

Long carried him onto the bed.

Until then, their fiery desire was finally triggered.

In the early morning of the next day, the sunlight shone into the room, and Long was still amazed as he watched the sleeping face of Shi who was beside him.

His Qingzhou… was really getting more and more handsome!

After their long-time enjoyment last night, Long was afraid that his Qingzhou wouldn't be able to get up.

Long's eyes were very soft and warm, and then he leaned forward and kissed Shi on the cheek.

When his lips touched Shi's cheek, Shi opened his eyes slowly.

With the cover of the films, his eyes were black. But through that black color, Long could still see faint red.

And that was exactly what had always been attracted him.

“Qingzhou, remove the films. I want to see your eyes.”

Shi did not refuse, and did as he required.

Long finally saw the pale blood-colored pupils as he wished.

He smiled. “Qingzhou, the color of your eyes is getting lighter and lighter.”

Shi nodded. “Yeah.”

“Why? I thought it would always be red.”

Shi didn't say anything this time.

Shi had figured out many things since Long came to the border this time.

In the past, what Shi wanted the most was to be himself.

He loved Long and didn't want to lose him, but what he hoped the most was that Long could accept all his characters, i.e., a complete him, and even join him all the time.

Even if, he wanted to kill people.

But later, after Long left alone this time, he just figured something out…

Human life was actually very long. In this very long time, meeting someone who you loved with all your heart was already a gift of fate.

If you couldn't hold him firmly, then you would lose him.

However, after losing this person, even if you could manage to become the one you used to be as you wish… your life would not be complete anymore.

He also realized that there was a breaking point to a person's tolerance, and he shouldn't challenge it again and again. Paying too much but getting nothing back, then people would be tired.

And once a person got tired, perhaps, he would hold grudge against the other one.

Regardless of the ending of their love story, there should not keep conflicting during their time together. Otherwise, one day the rift formed by contradiction would be irreparable.

Was this what he wanted?

So, after thinking these through, he no longer insisted on his original nature, not deliberately restricting himself, but no longer insisting. And the result… was good.

His desire to kill people was getting weaker and weaker, and there were things that he didn't care about as much as before.

Then, he became who he was now…

He also didn't expect that he didn't have to suppress or restrict himself deliberately to see himself becoming a better person.

These days, he rarely got angry.

In other words, he began to appreciate Long's character.

Whether he was being ridiculous, serious, thoughtful or pitying him…

He observed all Long's behaviors in the perspective of admiration and affection.

And then, he saw Long sharing various characters.

The more he saw these, the more he fell for this person, and emotionally, the more he couldn't give up.

Although there had been many solemn pledges of love between them.

And they even promised to live and die together.

However, life and death were very simple.

But living together for a lifetime was not.

Only when two people made it to work out their way of living, me in you and you in me. Until then, their love might be able to last long.

“Qingzhou?” Seeing Shi seemingly losing in memory, Long called him.

Shi returned to his senses and smiled faintly. “You don't want to get up?”

Long shook his head. “What's the rush? It's more important to sleep with Qingzhou.”

Shi raised his eyebrows. “Really?”

“Of course.” Long smiled. “Being with Qingzhou is more important.”
