Shen Lou woke up from his drowsiness. His whole body was covered with small and dense pains, but they were not serious. It was like having tattoos all over his body. His skin and flesh tightened in waves.
There were red gauze bandages everywhere, and there was the sound of gurgling water in the distance, which was as warm as spring. After feeling dazed for a moment, he raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow. The chain on his wrist was pulled, making a small collision sound. The black shackles reminded Shen Lou of his current situation – he was kidnapped by Lin Xin and taken to Luqi Tai and locked up.
Turning out of bed, Shen Lou moved his limbs, and all the discomfort caused by the soul-devourer disappeared, leaving only the feeling of powerlessness in his spiritual veins. He didn’t know what means Lin Xin used to temporarily suppress the devourer and let him act as usual, but without his spiritual power.
One end of the chain was connected to the machine buckle at the head of the bed, and it stretched with the movement of Shen Lou. He had not looked at this place carefully because he was in a daze due to a spiritual attack. It was winter, but there was no chill in the palace at all. The polished marble floor tiles were warm, and there was no problem even if you went bare-chested.
Shen Lou only wore a pair of trousers and walked barefoot on the ground. He stopped five feet away from the palace gate and could not move any further. The room was round, with the bed in the middle. The chain allowed him to walk freely in the palace, about five feet away from all doors and windows.
The invincible His Royal Highness Xuan Wang never thought that one day he would become a canary. He closed his eyes, turned around and walked back, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed. Xiang An, who was still next to him just now, suddenly ran ten feet away, and he was standing next to a steaming bath.
Maze!
Shen Lou immediately understood that this was the formation set up by Lin Xin. Lin Fuhui studied under Zhu Xingli, the master of formations, and his mastery of formations was at its peak. One step he stepped into was an illusory formation, and the next one might be a killing formation. He simply stopped moving and sat down on the spot.
“You’re awake.” Lin Xin, wearing a bright red crocodile gauze shirt, walked over slowly, with a faint smile on his lips.
Shen Lou looked at him and said nothing.
Lin Xin walked to him, squatted down slowly, and looked at him with a smile: “Why don’t you leave? Can’t you find the way back?” His tone was so gentle that it seemed like water dripping from his eyes.
Shen Lou had never heard Lin Xin speak like this before, and looked at him strangely: “Lin Buhuan, why are you arresting me?”
“Guess.” Lin Xin held his hand and pulled him up.
With their hands clasped together, Shen Lou’s fingertips trembled uncontrollably, and he resisted the urge to pull them back. Lin Xin led him out of the maze and walked back to the bedside.
“You were hit by the spirit devourer, and you will recover in a few days.” Lin Xin caressed Shen Lou’s cheek, as if whispering to his lover, “You have dedicated your whole life to Dayong, and the last few days, you give it to me. Okay.”
Shen Lou frowned and waved away Lin Xin’s hand: “I don’t know what you want to do, but now the border is in a hurry and the army can’t do without me. I must…”
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xin suddenly pressed a button and after removing the machine buckle, the chain began to shorten rapidly.
“Haha, I’m afraid His Highness Xuan Wang hasn’t figured it out yet. Now you are my prisoner and you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me.”
The sun shone through the window on Lin Xin’s handsome and fair face, with the Luli pendant on his forehead reflecting the dazzling light and looking incredibly beautiful.
Shen Lou’s breath froze and he looked away from him.
…On the roof, two cats were fighting. The white cat was riding on the black cat triumphantly, biting its claws and tail. Unexpectedly, the black cat endured it again and again, before turning over and biting the back of the white cat’s neck.
….
Lin Xin fell asleep, so he didn’t see the love and struggle in Shen Lou’s eyes.
Shen Lou leaned over and looked at him quietly. Lin Xin, who had fallen asleep, looked gentle and harmless, with tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes, as if he had been bullied. If only this person had always been so well-behaved, the family, country, world, and mountains of corpses and seas of blood that stood between them would never have appeared. Slowly, slowly he leaned forward, stared at the teeth-marked lips for a long time, and kissed him lightly.
He stood up suddenly and took a deep, trembling breath. Shen Lou was silent for a moment, raised his hand and slapped himself, turned around, jumped out of bed, and walked heavily towards the bath.
When Shen Lou woke up from the breathless dream, his eyes were still filled with red soft smoke, but he still held a smooth and flexible body in his arms.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Xin opened his eyes drowsily, turned over to face Shen Lou, and yawned softly.
“I just dreamed about my previous life. In my previous life, you locked me on Luqi Tai.” Shen Lou sounded a little unhappy.
Lin Xin felt guilty for a while. No matter what, he was the one who forced Shen Lou back then, but his guilty conscience could not stop Mr. Lin from making excuses: “You didn’t even want to kiss me back then, even if you did, you bit me inside and out, and still didn’t want to comfort me.”
Hearing this, Shen Lou’s heart ached, and he lowered his head and kissed the corner of Lin Xin’s mouth and had no choice but to reveal the secret he had hidden for many years: “Actually, I kissed you while you were sleeping. After that.”
“Huh?” Lin Xin’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Really? How did you kiss?”
“Just like this…” Shen Lou leaned over and demonstrated a gentle kiss.
“No, no, I was asleep at that time.” He turned over and lay flat on the bed, closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep.
Shen Lou smiled helplessly and went over to repeat the scene. Before he could stand up, Lin Xin grabbed him around the neck.
“Haha, I caught you secretly kissing!” Lin Xin’s eyes were full of excitement, as if he had returned to that moment in his previous life, filling up the gap in his heart.
“Yes, I secretly kissed you.” His star-like eyes were filled with smiles.
The two hugged each other and made noise for a while. Lin Xin climbed up to Shen Lou’s neck and leaned into his ear, saying two words in a pure and innocent tone.
Shen Lou’s breathing suddenly became turbulent, he kissed Lin Xin’s lips and whispered: “Don’t be afraid, I’ll come.”
….
Cat Raising Notes
When Zhu Yangai had just got Mrs. Jing, he didn’t know how to raise it.
“Cat? You don’t need to keep a cat. But if you throw it in the yard, it will catch mice and eat it.” The old housekeeper said.
Zhu Yangai looked at the little fur ball, a palm-sized ball curled up in his palm and stretched out a finger to lift the kitten’s paw to look at it. The cat’s claws were white, and the pads in the center of the claws were pink, almost transparent. Could such soft claws catch mice? Obviously not.
So, the master of weapon refining took out the patience of refining spiritual weapons and went to the thousands of books to look for books on raising cats. After searching through all the ancient books on agriculture and livestock, none of them were reliable. Finally, he found a handbook among the books on weapon refining.
This was the handbook of an ancient weapon-refining demon. He had always thought it had a wonderful and profound weapon-refining technique. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a cat-raising guide called “Mo Xiaozhao Feeding Precautions”, which contained detailed instructions for kittens. What to let them eat at each stage and how to bathe your cat.
“Little Claw, my dearest love, the most beautiful person in the world and your beauty is unparalleled.”
Cats were such things that people really had to do their best to love and care for them. Zhu Yangai took it for granted, as if he had found a treasure. So, he strictly followed the instructions in this manual to raise cats. Some of the magical objects could no longer be found, such as hibiscus wood for sharpening claws and delicious cold spring fish, but there were still other things that could replace them.
He found thousand-year-old golden paulownia wood to make a scratching post, asked people to search for the best flame fish in the southern region, and even made a nest for the kitten with his own hands.
However, the kitten’s favorite place to sleep was still in his arms. Zhu Yangai was very satisfied with this and dismantled the finished cat nest.
“What name should I give you? White Claw? Dark Cloud?” Zhu Yangai lay on the soft couch and read through a thousand-character text. He was as careful as naming his son, paying attention to the meaning of each word, so as to calculate the birth date, five elements and zodiac.
“Hey?” The kitten, who was sleeping soundly on Zhu Yangai’s chest, opened its eyes, stretched out its little paws to hook Zhu Yangai’s chin, and kicked its legs lazily. Then it stood up, came to Zhu Yangai’s lips, and kissed him with its furry mouth.
Zhu Yangai was stunned: “Is it possible that you don’t want to be my son, but my wife?” He turned over the notes in his hand, and at the last words of the notes, Mo Xiaozhao became human, and the master of weapon refining and Mao Xiaozhao grew old together.
That’s what it meant.
“Okay, then you will be my Zhu Yangai’s wife from now on, let’s call you…Mrs. Jing!”
