It was completely silent in the bedroom. The only sound that could be heard was the soft rustling of the curtains in the night breeze.
Xu Sili could almost hear his own heartbeat.
The man's silence made him feel uneasy. Was Si Sheng … unwilling?
At this moment, he felt the man holding his hand.
His arm around his waist was pulled away. Then, Si Sheng slowly turned around. His grayish-blue eyes shone brightly. In the darkness of the night, he seemed fragile.
Xu Sili straightened his back and stared at him in a daze.
"Your Majesty, what … did you just say?" He heard the man ask in a very soft voice, as though he was afraid of disturbing him.
His heart ached for him.
Si Sheng … actually cared a lot, right?
Back then, he didn't trust him, so he proposed to be his lover. Although Si Sheng agreed, he must have been hurt, right? After all, he was sincere to him, but he …
Now that he thought about it, he was really a jerk.
"I said, I want to be in a relationship with you," Xu Sili stared at Si Sheng. His cheeks were slightly flushed, but his gaze was gentle and firm.
"Not a lover, but a lover."
"A lover who wants to … spend a lifetime with you."
Si Sheng was in a daze.
He reached out his hand, wanting to touch his face. However, just as his fingertips were about to touch his face, he suddenly curled up, as though he was afraid that this was just a beautiful dream.
Sensing this, Xu Sili held his hand and placed his face in his palm. He looked at him tenderly.
Si Sheng only realized that this was all real when he felt the warmth of the man's hand.
He was caught off guard by this unexpected happiness. He was a little stunned.
"Your Majesty …"
His lips trembled. Looking at the young man's expression, he asked softly, "Are you really willing to … spend a lifetime with me? Just me? "
Xu Sili looked back at him.
He wasn't a person who made promises easily, especially when it came to relationships. Furthermore, he and Si Sheng had really fallen in love too quickly.
Even though he had a connection with Si Sheng in "Game of Gods", at that time, he had only treated Si Sheng as a paper doll.
It hadn't even been three months since they got along.
Logically speaking, he felt that he should slow down a little, but logic often didn't work.
Just like now, it was obvious that his emotions had the upper hand.
After knowing that Si Sheng truly loved him wholeheartedly, he also wanted to reciprocate. He wanted his beautiful eyes to no longer be stained with the color of humility and pain.
"Why would you be unwilling?"
Xu Sili leaned forward and hugged him tightly. He said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. I hurt you before. I didn't expect to make you feel so uneasy."
"What lover? I just don't want to announce it for the time being … I've never thought of looking for someone else. It's always been you. I only like you, and there's no one else."
Si Sheng hugged him, still in a daze.
If that was the case … then what was up with the Hero? Why did she hug him? Why … was she crying for him?
But when he opened his mouth, he realized that he couldn't ask.
What was he thinking? It wasn't easy to make such progress. It wasn't easy to get God's promise. Was he going to ruin everything?
Si Sheng reached out and stroked the young man's back. He hugged him tightly and gently closed his bitter eyes.
As long as God said it, he would believe it.
He said that he was the only one who liked him and wanted to spend the rest of his life with him. What was there to be dissatisfied with?
Wasn't this what he had always wanted?
"So now, are you going to announce our relationship?"
Si Sheng opened his eyes. His cheeks were pressed against the young man's smooth skin. He gently rubbed his cheeks. His actions were intimate, but the look in his eyes was still gloomy and cloudy.
Logically speaking, he told himself that with God's character, perhaps he still didn't want to announce it.
It had to be said that Si Sheng understood Xu Sili very well.
When he first proposed to be in a relationship, he really didn't think about this problem.
Coming out of the closet required a lot of courage. He also hadn't tested the attitude of his parents and brothers. If he suddenly announced it, he was a little worried that his father's heart wouldn't be able to take it.
His silence gave Si Sheng an answer. He tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly.
So he still couldn't see the light of day?
"I'm sorry."
He heard the young man say this.
Even though he had guessed the answer, this apology still made his heart ache slightly.
However, Xu Sili continued, "I can't announce this to the whole country for the time being, but I won't hide it from the people around me like before."
He reached out and held Si Sheng's cheeks. He smiled gently.
"Si Sheng, you can move into my bedroom. You don't have to leave early in the morning, and you can walk in openly at night. I'll ask Janice to prepare the things for you."
As he said this, he pecked his lips. "Okay?"
Si Sheng gazed deeply at his smile. He felt that the haze in his heart seemed to be gradually dissipating.
He never thought that the young man would be so open when he said open …
"Can I live here?" He thought for a moment before asking.
"Of course you can!"
Xu Sili snuggled into his arms again. "Just like in the trial world. I'm already used to living with you. I can't sleep alone at night."
"Then … you said to announce it to the whole country?" Si Sheng calmly probed.
Xu Sili paused. He used his fingers to tug at the buttons on Si Sheng's military uniform and said with some distress, "Actually, I don't want to be the topic of conversation for others, but if you want, I can do it too."
"Give me a little more time. I'll arrange it."
Si Sheng's lips curved slightly. Hearing the young man's promise, the sweetness in his heart finally suppressed the last trace of confusion and darkness in his heart.
"That's very good," he said.
"It doesn't matter whether or not I announce it to the whole country. It's fine as long as you can be with me."
However, the more Si Sheng did not ask for it, the more guilty Xu Sili felt.
Si Sheng was the person he liked and treated him so well. How could he bear to let him be wronged?
Since he had made a promise, he would do it. Once he communicated with his parents and obtained their support, he would announce their relationship to the whole country and to the whole world.
Yes, it's decided!
The game's server was still closed, so his parents could not use the game capsule. Therefore, this matter could only be temporarily put aside. However, Xu Sili had already taken it to heart.
The two quietly hugged for a while. Xu Sili's fingers began to move again.
Si Sheng looked down at him unbuttoning his jacket. However, this time, he did not let him have his way and reached out to hold him.
Xu Sili was a little confused.
Didn't they already talk about it?
"You still haven't told me what price you paid to activate that spell formation."
Si Sheng looked at him quietly. His grayish-blue eyes were deep and focused. His serious expression did not seem to want to let this matter pass so easily.
Xu Sili's expression suddenly fell.
Why is he still thinking about this matter? It seems like he still cares a lot about it.
"Just a little bit of life force …"
His purple eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly became firm again. "Yes, just a little bit of life force. It will recover very soon."
"Just a little bit?"
"Yes, just a little bit."
Seeing the young man's unchanging expression, Si Sheng felt his chest tighten. He had thought of many possibilities, but directly sacrificing his life force was the one he was most unwilling to accept.
"Are you referring to a lifespan of a hundred years?" he asked faintly.
Xu Sili opened his mouth slightly in surprise. He did not expect Si Sheng to know that life force was related to lifespan. However, after thinking about it, he understood. After all, he was the strongest person in the Empire.
However …
"How can a lifespan of a hundred years be so exaggerated? It's only fifty years! "
As soon as the words left his mouth, Xu Sili knew that he was in trouble.
As expected, Si Sheng's calm expression completely darkened.
"Do you think fifty years is very little?" His tone was cold, and the look in his eyes made Xu Sili feel a little flustered and afraid.
He subconsciously shook his head. "No, it's quite long."
Then he saw Si Sheng's expression become even colder, and there was a trace of mockery in his expression.
Seeing such a strange expression on his face, Xu Sili only felt flustered and wronged.
He was so sweet and gentle just a moment ago, and now he was like this. This guy was too temperamental!
Of course, deep down, he knew that this was his fault, so he very carefully hugged Si Sheng and gently coaxed him. "Don't be angry. When I rise to three stars, I'll make up for the lost lifespan."
Si Sheng's expression was still cold. He said in a low voice, "When you were in the trial world, you once said that no one in this world is more important to you than this official. I hope that this official will remember this before making a decision in the future."
"Now, this official will return these words to you."
"There is nothing in this world that can compare to you. To this official, you are more important than my life. If one day you die, this official will not live on in disgrace."
Xu Sili stared blankly at him. This man's tone was still so cold, but the sincerity in his words was so hot that it burned his heart.
"You … What are you saying? What do you mean that if I die, you will not live on in disgrace? "
Si Sheng looked at the panicked expression on the young man's face, and his tense expression slowly relaxed.
He knew that he had said the wrong thing.
He had been stubbornly suppressing the vicious beast in his heart because he did not want to scare his god away.
Xu Sili was indeed a little frightened. He even vaguely felt some pressure and burden.
However, Si Sheng quickly comforted him.
"This official was just too angry."
He reached out and pulled the young man into his arms. His voice was gentle. "I'm sorry to have frightened you."
Xu Sili slowly exhaled. He did not think that Si Sheng was just too angry and did not choose his words carefully. Perhaps those were his true thoughts — —
He was really willing to die for him.
What did he do to deserve Si Sheng to treat him like this?
Before Xu Sili could figure out his current feelings, he felt a moist and warm sensation on his body — —
Si Sheng controlled the heated water elements to help him wash away the traces of their intimacy just now. Then, he took out a robe and wrapped it around him before stuffing him under the blankets again.
Xu Sili blinked and looked at him blankly.
"You need to rest."
Si Sheng sat by the bed and gently stroked the top of his head. "This official will find a way to extend your lifespan and make up for the life force that you have lost."
Seeing that he was about to get up and leave, Xu Sili hurriedly reached out and pulled him back. "Didn't you just say that you would stay with me? Where are you going? "
Hesitation flashed across the man's face, but he quickly regained his composure.
He gently pulled the young man's hand away and carefully placed him under the blankets. Then, he helped him tuck in the blankets.
"Before your body recovers, this official will not do … anything that offends you." He looked at Xu Sili, his eyes gentle and affectionate with some forbearance.
"If we stay together, this official will not be able to control himself, so … it's better to wait."
Xu Sili was stunned. Why did this guy start to abstain after confirming their relationship?
Before his body recovers …
He was just a little weak. Why did it have to be so serious? If he had known earlier, he would not have told him!
He looked at Si Sheng pitifully. "Do you not want me anymore?"
The silver-haired youth was as handsome and exquisite as an elf. His beautiful light purple eyes looked at you with watery eyes. It was likely that no one would be able to reject him.
Si Sheng used all his self-control to force himself to look away. "I want you very much, but that kind of thing takes a toll on your body."
"This official does not want to lose a long time with you because of a moment of pleasure."
Xu Sili knew that Si Sheng was serious. Although he was touched, but …
According to the plan, the town of Doha would not be completed until the end of this month. So he had to wait for a month?
Oh …
He did not know how to convince Si Sheng, but he quickly realized that this was not the most important thing at the moment.
He grabbed Si Sheng's hand. "You are not allowed to take any more risks.
You heard what I said to the late Emperor and the others in the trial world.
Once I complete the ceremony, the restrictions on my star level will be lifted. I will be able to advance to three-star very soon. I don't even need to advance to three-star to extend my lifespan. "
Every time he advanced one level, he would gain 10 Omni Points. It was only 30 Omni Points, and he could make up for it with three levels.
"After the town of Doha is completed, I will be able to carry out the ceremony. It will only take about a month. There is no need for you to take any more risks."
Xu Sili said seriously, "If you don't want to live here, that's fine. But you have to listen to me on this matter."
Si Sheng looked at him and sighed softly.
"It's not that I don't want to live here …" He was just worried that he would not be able to control himself.
Although it would be difficult to find a treasure that could extend one's lifespan, he already had a clue. It would not take that long for him to leave this place.
One month …
He pursed his lips and reluctantly said, "Okay, I promise you."
Xu Sili sighed in relief. He knew that Si Sheng was very strong, but after experiencing such a mind-altering trial, he did not dare to let his guard down.
He looked at Si Sheng and pursed his lips. He made a final attempt. "Do you really want to do this? I won't be able to sleep alone … Can you bear to see me lose sleep? "
Si Sheng …
Of course, he could not bear to.
So under Xu Sili's coaxing and pestering, he finally gave in.
When Si Sheng changed into a sleeping robe and crept into bed, Xu Sili obediently moved over.
The two of them slept in each other's arms, just like in the trial world.
Although Si Sheng said it so resolutely, Xu Sili still did not believe him. He had already stayed to sleep, so how could he hold himself back?
However, what Xu Sili did not expect was that this man really did hold himself back!
No matter if he tried to seduce him openly or secretly, he remained indifferent. When he was provoked, he would wrap him up like a dumpling with a blanket and then suppress him so that he could not move.
Xu Sili could not help but doubt his own charm.
Time passed like this. Day after day passed, and his body was indeed slowly getting better after receiving the care he needed.
In the beginning, he would feel dizzy and unable to concentrate. After waking up for a few hours, he would start to feel sleepy. Later on, his condition clearly improved, and his face was no longer pale.
Xu Sili also knew that Si Sheng was right. After all, he was not a real player. An increase in Physique would allow him to grow taller and strengthen his Physique, but an abrupt decrease in Physique would definitely bring harm to him.
However, he had also said before that rationality was not always useful.
He was not unsatisfied with his desires. At first, he just wanted to see how good Si Sheng could hold himself back. However, after breaking through the limits of seduction and realizing that the other party could still hold himself back, he unknowingly became serious.
It was as if he would lose if he did not succeed.
Moreover, he was really wronged. Who would lie when he said that he would not be able to hold himself back if he lived with him!
Time passed unknowingly, and it was the end of the month. Under the efforts of Ikeda and many engineers, the town of Doha was finally completed.
When he received the news that the town of Doha was successfully upgraded, Xu Sili was eating breakfast. Si Sheng sat beside him and poured him a glass of milk.
Xu Sili glanced at the message, then continued to eat his bread without batting an eyelid. He told Xiao Qiong and Ah Sheng about the interesting things that happened in the school.
Because of Ah Sheng, the human-shaped Spirit Gatherer, Xiao Qiong, who spent all day with her, had undoubtedly benefited greatly. He was now about to break through to 1-Star.
He was only 10 years old, and this speed could be considered a genius.
Little Ash was also progressing well under his supervision. He could now read and write quite a few words, and had also made a few friends in the school.
As he chatted with the two little ones, he kept an eye on Si Sheng from the corner of his eye. After seeing him put down the glass of milk, he raised his communication device to look at it.
It was a message from Wen Jishan.
Si Sheng quickly skimmed through it, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
He looked at the young man on the main seat and said softly, "Your Majesty."
"Hmm?" Xu Sili took a sip of the milk.
"Wen Jishan sent a message saying that the town of Doha has been completed according to plan."
"Oh." Xu Sili nodded noncommittally.
Si Sheng looked at his cold expression and could not help but pause. A hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.
"The ceremony you mentioned earlier …"
Xu Sili said slowly, "Wen Jishan said that there would be a bonfire party after the completion of the town of Doha. It should be tonight."
He looked at Si Sheng and smiled gently. "Let's go together. We said we would go together."
Si Sheng looked at his smile and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay."
Although he hoped that the ceremony could be held sooner, and that the star-level restriction would be lifted, so that he could …
Feeling the restlessness in his body, Si Sheng pursed his thin lips tightly. He reached out to pick up his teacup and took a sip.
"Big Brother, can Ah Sheng and I go too?"
At this moment, Xiao Qiong's voice rang out. He looked at Xu Sili, his eyes filled with anticipation as he asked.
Xu Sili paused and smiled at him. "No."
"Why not?" The little boy was a little disappointed, and his expression was desolate.
After this period of time together, Xiao Qiong was no longer the same as before, keeping everything to himself and not daring to be close to his big brother.
Seeing the little boy's sad expression, Xu Sili's heart softened. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll get Li Zheyu to take you guys."
"Don't wander off when you're there. Don't get lost."
Xiao Qiong was delighted at first, then looked at him in confusion. "What about Big Brother and Marshal?"
Xu Sili coughed lightly.
Si Sheng glanced at him but did not say anything. He took another sip of tea and put the teacup back on the table.
"Marshal and I are going on a date."
The young man's casual words made Si Sheng's hands tremble. He almost knocked over the teacup.
He looked at the young man again, but he was not looking at him. He was still talking to his little brother.
"What's a date?" Xiao Qiong asked, confused.
"I know!"
At this moment, Little Ash raised her hand. She opened her glassy eyes and said, "A date is a relationship!"
"What's a relationship?"
"It's … it's …" Little Ash seemed to be stumped. She thought for a moment and said something shocking, "It's getting married!"
"Ah? Big Brother is getting married to Marshal? "
Xu Sili was speechless.
The childish words of the two children caused the scene to fall into an awkward situation.
The guards and maids looked down, while Janice looked away with a conflicted expression.
In the past month, the relationship between His Majesty the Emperor and Marshal was known to everyone in the palace. After all, these two people could no longer be described as brazen.
Marshal had moved into His Majesty's bedroom. The two of them slept and ate together, and their relationship was very close.
Apart from Janice, no one else dared to object. Even the ministers who received the news did not dare to say anything except in private, let alone in front of these two people.
In just three months, His Majesty had become a two-star elementalist, which was a top-notch expert. Si Sheng was even more so. Moreover, these two people were not easy to deal with. They even broadcast the beheading live.
In this era where resources were scarce and the strong were respected, only stupid people would jump out to oppose these two people.
"Big Brother?" Xiao Qiong looked at Xu Sili, still waiting for his answer.
Xu Sili felt a headache coming on. Si Sheng, on the other hand, was thoughtful.
"Well … we're not getting married yet …"
Xu Sili did not deny the first part. He then looked at the little girl and asked, "Ah Sheng, how do you know this?"
Little Ash tilted her head. "Danny from Count Stafford's family is chasing me. He told me."
"…"
Xu Sili looked at the little girl, who was only seven or eight years old. After a moment of silence, he turned on his communication device and sent an order to Xiao Wu.
He wanted to know everything about this Danny Stafford!
As for the young boy at the side, after the shock, his eyes widened as he said, "That kid actually wants to marry you?"
Little Ash nodded.
"Hmph." The young boy's expression was not very good. "I'll help you teach him a lesson today."
Little Ash tilted her head in confusion and then said, "Oh."
Xu Sili looked at the two children and thought for a moment before saying, "Be gentle. Don't beat them to death."
"Okay, Big Brother." Xiao Qiong nodded solemnly.
After the meal, the two children went to school. Xu Sili confirmed with Wen Jishan that the bonfire party was indeed going to be held that night.
Thus, the date between the two of them was set.
He left the dining hall in a good mood and chose to ignore Si Sheng, who wanted to say something but stopped.
He was going to broadcast the upgrade to a third-grade main city live to the whole country. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to stimulate the people of the Empire and get more people to devote themselves to the construction.
This matter needed time to arrange, and he estimated that it would be ready by tomorrow.
Thus, he was going to try one last time tonight. He did not believe that he could not win over Si Sheng.
