Xiche lay on the bank of the green pool, his clothes were wet and stuck to his body. But he could no longer tell whether it was water or sweat. Xi Che felt weak all over and was about to collapse. He had no idea of ​​the succubus's expertise in absorbing other people's cultivation, or perhaps it was because his opponent was the God of Light, and the difference in cultivation between the two was too great, which led to this.

But at least he managed to get through these seven days, and all the cold poison in Chu Yan's body was transferred to his own body, so his efforts were not in vain.

The last bit of spiritual energy returned to his body. Xi Che couldn't help but take a deep breath and loosened his hands that were tightly clasped with Chu Yan. Unexpectedly, someone came up from behind and held my hand tightly. Chu Yan's breath blew against his ears, and Xi Che couldn't help but shiver when it came into contact with the airflow which was slightly higher than that of hot spring water.

"Asa, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Yan gently held Xi Che's waist with his other hand underwater, hooked him into his arms, and rested his chin lightly on Xi Che's shoulder: "You seem to be shivering."

"I'm fine... just a little cold."

Xi Che slowly moved to the side, trying to avoid Chu Yan - he felt extremely embarrassed now, and Xi Che didn't understand why. Chu Yan was obviously a god without any worldly desires, so how could he take the bait after a little teasing from him, and take the bait so willingly. After what happened in the past few days, Xi Che could no longer find excuses to deceive himself and others and to exonerate Chu Yan. He had to face it.

A god shouldn't be so skilled...

He was so disappointed! How could Chu Yan become like this!

...Of course, Xi Che was not completely unhappy in his heart. He had been secretly in love with Chu Yan for so long, and being able to sleep with him was finally what he wanted.

He just felt complicated inside.

Chu Yan had no idea what Xi Che was thinking. Upon hearing this, he hugged Xi Che tightly in his arms, trying to warm him up. At this moment, he just felt that holding him made him very satisfied: "Why is it cold? Will it feel better now?"

Xi Che's heart trembled and tears almost fell - woo, how come this Chu Yan is even more ooc than the one in his dream, why is he so gentle to him?

But Xi Che didn't know what to do, as if doing anything would make him feel embarrassed. He simply lay down by the pool and changed the subject: "By the way, how do you feel?... Do you feel better?"

"Shennong's Fire Spirit Pill is as effective as ever."

Chu Yan said with a smile. He casually stretched out his hand and held Xi Che loosely in his arms. He turned his head and stared at him from the side. His phoenix eyes seemed to contain infinite tenderness: "Thanks to Asa for his help."

Chu Yan was telling the truth. One day in the middle of their "healing", Suzaku woke up, flew to the edge of the green pool and stared at the two of them. Xi Che felt embarrassed being stared at and wanted to stop, but Chu Yan didn't care about the bird at all.

...But it is true. After all, it is Chu Yan's driving soul. Nothing can be hidden from it. Whatever the two of them have done will eventually be known by it.

The white tiger sensed the presence of the Vermillion Bird and ran out from Xiche's sea of ​​consciousness. It went up and bit off a tuft of the Vermillion Bird's hair.

However, it seemed that since he noticed that the White Tiger's strength had been greatly reduced last time, Suzaku was unwilling to bother with him. He just lowered his head and used his mouth to comb his messy hair, then opened his mouth, grabbed the back of the White Tiger's neck and carried him aside.

"For Asas's sake, I won't argue with you."

- He knew that this time he was rescued from the frozen state with the help of Xi Che.

Zhuque's voice is very gentle, yet a bit cold. Just by listening to his voice, you can tell that he must be a handsome guy. Baihu is different from him. The normal Baihu has the voice of a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. But now his voice sounded like that of a teenager going through puberty, and when he provoked Suzaku, it seemed like he was being unreasonable.

"I don't need you to give face to anyone. Come on, duel with me!"

Zhuque was just busy grooming his own fur and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Xi Che didn't know what happened to the two driving spirits. He just felt embarrassed by Chu Yan's gaze and looked away hurriedly: "That, that's good..."

Unfortunately, he did not succeed in avoiding Chu Yan's sight. Chu Yan bent his slender fingers and gently pressed Xi Che's cheek, making him look at him: "Asa, I'm holding you now, just like a dream."

When the word dream was mentioned, Xi Che reflexively felt that his secret seemed to be revealed. He couldn't help blushing, and even the skin on his neck turned red: "Actually... Actually, we have to take emergency measures... You don't have to take it to heart..."

Xi Che's voice became smaller and smaller, but unfortunately he didn't finish his words. Chu Yan came up and sealed the last syllable in his mouth with his lips. Xi Che opened his eyes slightly and looked at him, somewhat incredulous, but the latter gently licked his lips and teeth as before, and the tip of his tongue pressed tightly against Xi Che's tongue cavity and rotated it.

He didn't feel embarrassed or regretful about what happened before. Instead, he was very... enjoying it?

Xi Che kissed him, and Chu Yan raised the corners of his lips, separated them a little, and then pressed them against each other again. It was like a game played between young lovers, they started with a light touch, and then the kiss got deeper and deeper, as if they wanted to dispel Xi Che's doubts with practical actions, that "don't take it too seriously". This was not the first time Xi Che had said such words to him. When he transformed himself into Chu Qi and went to the lower world, Xi Che had used such words to "comfort" him twice. He was not happy at all.

Xi Che didn't know what Chu Yan was thinking, but he was in high spirits now and didn't seem to have any concerns at all.

Xi Che was dizzy from his kiss, and later forgot about his worries and closed his eyes to accept his kiss.

After a long time, Chu Yan gently let him go. Xi Che was breathing rapidly, and Chu Yan put his hands together to hold him in his arms. Xi Che did not resist, but just frowned slightly and put his hands around Chu Yan's waist. Chu Yan keenly sensed that Asa's reactions to him and to that "Chu Qi" were different. When he was in the lower world, whenever he wanted to hug Asa, he would be ruthlessly pushed away... He would never behave so obediently.

Is he doing this because of his past friendship with me, or is it for some other reason?

Chu Yan held Xi Che for a long time, suddenly lowered his head and asked him softly: "Asa, can you stay in Yujing Palace? Now Jiuyou has no chief, and no one will say anything if you stay here."

Xi Che was slightly stunned: "But I have a lot of things I haven't done yet."

"Are you referring to the affairs of the lower world?"

Xi Che looked up at him puzzledly: "How do you know about the lower world?"

Chu Yan was silent: "You said it before. The affairs of the lower world are not your business. If you are really worried, I will go there."

Xi Che immediately shook his head and refused: "This matter is the cause I planted when I was alive, and I must solve it. And what am I doing staying in Yujing Palace..."

"I want you to stay with me."

Chu Yan didn't beat around the bush. He gently pinched Xi Che's jaw and forced him to look up at him. Xi Che was surprised, but saw Chu Yan frowning and staring at him: "Asa, I don't want to be separated from you anymore, can you stay?"

Xi Che said after a long time: "This is not what the God of Bright Light should say."

Chu Yan didn't know what he was thinking about, and said with a sigh: "I would rather not be the God of Light."

Chu Yan didn't say clearly why he would rather not be the God of Light, but both of them seemed to tacitly think of the incident that happened when Xi Che left Jiuyou hundreds of years ago. But this was too strange. What did his leaving Jiuyou have to do with Chu Yan? What did it have to do with whether he became the God of Light or not...

Xi Che stared into Chu Yan's eyes, his pupils trembling slightly. A guess arose in his heart, but this guess was too bold, so he didn't dare to speak it out.

But Chu Yan did not dare to speak first. He only remembered that Xi Che loved that unknown person deeply. Even though he had spent one night with "Chu Qi", he was still thinking about that person. Chu Yan was worried that if he told him what was in his heart, he would avoid him.

And what happened today was just as he said, in an emergency one had to take the necessary measures...Asa has always been bold and unconventional in his actions. He might really only regard this matter as a necessary means to save people. He also said something about it being for his cultivation... He was just helping him refine the Fire Spirit Pill. Even though they had such an experience between them, he didn't want me to disturb him at all.

Chu Yan was silent for a long time, raised his hand and gently stroked Xi Che's face: "What's more, you are by my side to help me refine the Fire Spirit Pill faster than before, I need you."

...So that's how it is.

There is no need to worry about that. The cold poison in his body has been transferred out by himself, and there will be no obstacles in refining the Fire Spirit Pill in the future.

Xi Che thought for a while and said: "Shennong said that it might be difficult only this time, but later... it won't be difficult later, so you don't have to worry. Chu Yan, let me give you half a year. After half a year, I will finish the things at hand and come back to help you."

Half a year is not a long time for a god, but for Chu Yan now, he cannot go a single day without seeing him. He frowned, obviously disagreeing with the decision, but Xi Che let go of his hand and climbed out of the pool: "It's decided. I... I'll go out first."

Xi Che was not unaware of the changes in Chu Yan's emotions. Even if strangers slept together for a night, it would be impossible for them to have no fluctuations in their hearts, let alone someone like Chu Yan.

But it's too late to say anything... Not to mention that he only has half a year left to live in this body. Even if he could live a peaceful life, as a succubus, it is impossible for him to accompany Chu Yan for a lifetime.

Xi Che stood on the shore and put on his coat. Chu Yan also climbed ashore. He was only wearing a layer of gauze, which was soaked by water and was almost naked. Xi Che didn't even dare to look back at him.

But after thinking about what happened just now, he still felt that he should remind him: "Chu Yan, maybe... you should go to the Spring of Inquiry. What happened today... might, might have a big impact on you."

Chu Yan was a little angry - that impact was not just a little big, it was a very big impact! And why did he have to go to the Heart Spring himself, just like Asa in the dream. He regretted now that he should not have gone to the Spring of Inquiry three hundred years ago, which led to their ending.

Chu Yan said patiently: "The Spring of Questioning the Heart has dried up long ago, and Yinglei has been dead for many years... You... you don't have to be sad." -

After all, Yinglei is also one of Chu Yan's imaginary enemies. Who knows whether the person Asa loves is Yinglei.

However, Xi Che did not have any sad expression. He just turned around in disbelief: "Has the Spring of Questioning the Heart really dried up?"

Chu Yan nodded. Xi Che couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Why is it just like the dream I had..."

Chu Yan heard what he said clearly and took a step forward: "What dream?"

Xi Che accidentally glanced at Chu Yan's body and was so scared that he wanted to step back, but his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

Chu Yan hurriedly supported him. He didn’t know what he was thinking about. His expression changed from slightly angry to subtle. After holding it in for a long time, he asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Asa, you are too tired. I will help you go back and have a rest..."

Xi Che didn’t understand what he meant at first, but when he came to his senses, his whole body blushed, "I don’t need you to support me!"

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, his feet slipped and he almost fell again. Seeing this, Chu Yan picked him up directly, "Then I'll hold you."

"I don't need it!!!"

Chu Yan would never listen to him. He held Xi Che and walked towards the bedroom, "Asa, you don't have to be so strong in front of me."

"..." Damn! Who wants to be strong! Put him down! He is a succubus, what is seven days? He can still come for another seven days!
