That night, Xu Sili and Si Sheng changed into their normal clothes and flew out of the inner city on the Shadow Leopard, heading towards Doha Town.
Looking down from the sky, they could see that the slums around the inner city were all empty, leaving only a bunch of old, run-down houses. It was a desolate sight.
The slums living here had been moved to Doha Town, where they would start a new life.
Xu Sili was going to set aside these old houses for the players to build their base.
After returning from the trial grounds, he had not been idle. First, he asked Xiao Wu to collect some recipes on the Star Web, then he recalled the delicacies he had eaten in real life and asked Janice and the others to research them.
Now that he had researched a few special delicacies, he would open the Starry Sky Hotel once he had enough.
The Starry Sky Hotel was naturally aimed at the players.
Apart from the main course, the dessert and barbeque shops were also areas of his research. After all, not gaining weight was the most attractive thing to do.
Therefore, high calorie, high calorie, and appetizing delicacies were the first choice.
Once he had made a name for himself in terms of food, he would be able to move on to projects with low investment and high returns.
Of course, with less than two months left, he could not come up with too many new ideas.
Under his instructions, the Elementalist construction team that Si Sheng had sent to Orchid Moon City had already completed a few districts and successfully upgraded them to Level 1.
Tomorrow, when the Imperial City was upgraded to Level 3, Orchid Moon City would also be upgraded to Level 2. Then, they could begin the construction of the teleportation circle.
At the same time, he was going to send a construction team to each of the remaining three main cities. With Si Sheng personally escorting them, their safety would be guaranteed, and he could secretly follow them.
After the trial grounds, Xu Sili realized that the Imperial City was not in chaos even after he had been gone for seven days, so he became bolder.
Although he felt sorry for Janice and the others, he had no other choice!
After all, this was his own country, and yet he had not been able to take a look around, it was not right.
Anyway, with Si Sheng's speed, it should not take long.
Xu Sili was thinking absentmindedly about his future plans until Si Sheng tightened his arms and reminded him in a low voice, "Your Majesty, we have arrived at Doha Town."
Only then did he regain his senses and look down at the small town below.
Bonfires were lit between the small towns near the mountains and rivers. Even in the air, they could hear the cheerful singing and laughter coming from below.
Xu Sili also laughed.
"Jiu Yue, fly lower. Let's go down and take a look."
Under the command of Xu Sili, the Shadow Leopard flapped its wings and silently approached the square in front of the town.
This was the busiest part of the town, and the bonfire was also the biggest.
The poor people that Xu Sili had seen outside the inner city had changed their appearance. They had changed into new clothes and were singing and dancing around the bonfire while enjoying the delicacies that they could never eat before.
Witnessing this scene made Xu Sili feel a sense of accomplishment.
He didn't need these people to be grateful to him. As long as he saw their lives get better, as long as he saw the country get out of its misery, he felt that all his hard work had not been in vain.
Moreover, most of the people of the Roland Empire loved the country.
Their simple kindness and loyalty to the Empire made him feel that the sacrifices of the late Emperor, Sirene, and Senos were worthwhile.
Thinking of those who had passed away, Xu Sili took a deep breath and suppressed all his thoughts. He said to Si Sheng, "Let's go down and play."
Si Sheng felt his emotions, but he didn't say anything. He just hugged him and silently landed on the ground.
The orange flames of the bonfire shone on them.
The laughter of the people was very infectious. Seeing them raise their glasses and drink, Xu Sili couldn't help but want to join them.
Fortunately, the drinks at the bonfire party were all free.
He brought two glasses of fruit wine and pulled Si Sheng to sit on the grass. They drank while watching the men and women dancing around the bonfire in the distance.
After all, the town had just been built and wasn't rich. The fruit wine provided was very low in alcohol, and they could only taste it.
Xu Sili drank it and thought it was okay, so he went to get another bottle.
Anyway, with Si Sheng's side effect, no one would notice what he did.
"Si Sheng, what do you think of this wine?"
The young man held a glass in his hand and looked up at him with a red face. His lustrous red lips flashed in the light of the flames, looking delicious and alluring.
Si Sheng's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He took the glass in his hand and drank it in one gulp. "Delicious."
The young man grinned. His purple eyes were moist, making Si Sheng's mouth dry up.
Si Sheng sighed helplessly.
Recently, he had been feeling that the young man was intentionally or unintentionally seducing him. Maybe it was because he had been holding it in for too long. Every time he saw him, he couldn't help but fantasize.
But … they were lovers now, and sometimes he didn't need to hold it in.
In the light of the flames, the blonde man leaned over and kissed Si Sheng lightly on the lips with the sweet scent of the fruit wine.
Xu Sili's heart skipped a beat.
It was a fruit wine with low alcohol content, but he felt a bit drunk.
He covered his hot face and looked at the bonfire in the distance.
Maybe it was because he had been rejected by Si Sheng too many times recently. When he suddenly took the initiative to kiss him, Si Sheng couldn't help but blush.
The two of them didn't say anything, but there was an ambiguous atmosphere between them.
In the distance, there was singing coming from the bonfire.
The singer was holding a Roland instrument and singing an unfamiliar song loudly. His voice was bold and heroic. People surrounded him, singing and dancing while drinking. It was very lively.
Xu Sili couldn't help but sing along.
This song seemed to have a special charm that could stir up people's emotions. Even the most depressed people would be affected by this song and unknowingly sing along. They sang out the sadness in their hearts and drank the wine in their cups.
When the song was finished, a system notification popped up in front of Xu Sili's eyes.
Ding! Congratulations on learning the Eshe Star Folk Song. You have gained a new skill [Toast], INT + 2, EXP + 1000.
Xu Sili was slightly stunned, but he didn't feel too surprised. That was because the state of mind he just experienced was similar to when he learned the Germinal Organization.
This was a song on the same level as Germinal Organization.
1000 EXP was nothing to him now, but to be able to be on the same level as Germinal Organization, this toast was definitely not simple.
Xu Sili chuckled and glanced at the Skill Panel.
[Toast]
Type: Eshe Star Folk Song
Attribute: Sound
Level: lv1
Effect: Area of effect skill. Can stir up the mood of the audience and raise their morale.
Another area of effect skill …
This should be one of the characteristics of the Sound Element.
Xu Sili thought as he looked at the skill effect again.
Battle Effect:
1. Recover one point of stamina every second until the song ends.
2. After listening for a certain number of times, the ability of the listener to absorb elements will be increased slightly.
Mana Consumption: 100
Current Proficiency: 1/100
Xu Sili blinked. Without a doubt, this was another support skill, and it was targeted at warriors. It could even stimulate the absorption of elements by warriors.
A very good skill … No, it should be a very awesome skill!
He thought to himself, a little dizzy.
Currently, when he used Si Sheng's skill, he still had to spend 100% of his stamina. He would be crippled after using it once.
However, this skill consumed magic power, but what it recovered was stamina!
Recover one point of stamina every second, 60 points in a minute …
Xu Sili didn't expect that there would be such a surprise today. Under the encouragement of the toast song, he turned to Si Sheng and smiled. "Si Sheng, I want to go to the hot springs."
Si Sheng was dazzled by his smile before he heard what he said clearly.
"Hot springs?"
"Yes."
Xu Sili nodded. "Wen Jishan said that there is a hot spring near Doha. He has already given the order. If we go now, there won't be anyone else."
This was also his plan for tonight.
He was prepared to try one more time. If Si Sheng was still indifferent, he would … he would chase him out of the palace! Don't even think about touching him again!
Although the youth didn't say anything, his slightly angry expression made Si Sheng understand that if he didn't give in to him, it would be difficult to end the night.
He sighed and said softly, "Alright, I will take you there."
The youth's lips curled into a victorious smile.
Si Sheng looked at him and saw that he seemed a little drunk. He smiled helplessly, but at the same time, he smiled dotingly.
Compared to drinking so little … Maybe it wasn't that he couldn't hold his liquor, but that his body hadn't recovered yet.
This thought made him frown slightly. After finishing the rest of the wine, he hugged the youth and used his spiritual power to scan the surroundings of the town. He found the hot springs that the youth had mentioned.
It was in the mountains near the town. In a canyon, there were hot springs of various sizes scattered around, with steam lingering around.
In the cold early winter, soaking in a hot spring was indeed a very enjoyable thing.
As soon as he arrived, Xu Sili's eyes lit up.
This place was deep in the forest, so basically no one would come here at night. The environment was quiet and secluded, and when he looked up, he could see the bright and clean starry sky above the canyon.
He picked a hot spring that wasn't particularly big, about two to three meters in diameter. He took off his clothes and stepped into it. The water only reached his waist, but when he sat down, it reached his chest.
The hot water made Xu Sili dizzy, and the smell of alcohol rose up, making him even more confused.
He sat down and leaned against the stone wall, looking up at Si Sheng, who was still standing by the hot spring, guarding him. He said, "Si Sheng, why aren't you coming down?"
He was drunk and couldn't control his body well, so his tone was much slower. It was natural for him to speak like a spoiled child.
Si Sheng turned his face away, his ears already red.
"I'll be guarding the shore."
"But I want to be with you …"
The youth reached out and tugged at Si Sheng's trousers. Seeing that Si Sheng didn't budge, he couldn't help but pout. "You don't want me, right?"
Si Sheng lowered his eyebrows and looked into the youth's sparkling purple eyes. The impulse that he had suppressed with great difficulty popped out again.
Why wouldn't he want him?
He had been tormented by him for the past month.
In the end, Si Sheng couldn't bear to see him sad, so he took off his clothes and entered the hot spring.
However, he didn't get close to Xu Sili. He sat down at a spot furthest away from him. Fortunately, there was a hazy white mist, which concealed his ugly state.
When he got down, the youth didn't lean over as he expected, which made him feel both relieved and disappointed.
Si Sheng looked at the youth again.
He was leaning against the stone wall. The warm spring water reached his chest, revealing his fair shoulders and beautiful, slender neck.
At this moment, he was leaning his head slightly against the stone. His brows were furrowed in discomfort, and his face was dyed with an abnormal red. He was also groaning.
"Your Majesty?"
Seeing that something seemed to have happened to him, Si Sheng's heart skipped a beat. He swam over nervously, not even thinking about whether the youth was acting or not.
As he approached, he used his spiritual power to scan the youth's body to determine his condition. However, when his spiritual power "saw" the scene under the water, his mind went blank, and he froze in place.
Under his rigid "gaze," the youth suddenly relaxed his brows. He opened his teary eyes and looked at Si Sheng pitifully.
"I … Okay, are you really not coming in?"
Si Sheng knew exactly what he had done under the water, so his mind went blank for a moment.
He knew that because of the existence of the backlash, no matter what he did, he wouldn't cause any actual harm to God. However, he was now doing it to himself …
"Thump, thump, thump —"
His heartbeat had long gone out of control.
Just like his body, Si Sheng knew that his self-control had completely collapsed at this moment.
When he was turned around by a pair of strong arms and laid on top of the stone wall, Xu Sili knew that he had succeeded.
He was a little dizzy and reeked of alcohol, but this didn't stop him from showing a victorious smile.
Hmph, let's see if you can still hold it in!
The man's actions were hurried and fierce. It was obvious that he had been holding it in for a long time, but he didn't feel uncomfortable. Even though he was lying on top of the rough stone wall, there was a layer of wind element supporting him and protecting him.
Even at this moment, Si Sheng was still so careful to protect him. He was both rough and gentle, and this contradiction really fascinated him.
The man's large palm covered the back of his hand and squeezed between his fingers again, holding it tightly.
Then he kissed the back of his hand and gently nibbled on it, stimulating his increasingly sensitive nerves.
"Your Majesty …"
He listened to the man whispering in his ear. It was so moving, but the man's actions of bullying him didn't stop at all.
Xu Sili began to cry again.
The hot spring was filled with fog, and with the cover of the night, no one could see their figures clearly.
In the end, Xu Sili lay in Si Sheng's arms. His entire body was soft, and his voice was hoarse from crying. He didn't have any strength left.
He was already somewhat awake from the alcohol. Leaning on Si Sheng's shoulder, he recalled what he had just done. He didn't know whether to praise himself or dig a hole to hide in.
"Your Majesty, are we going back?"
The man's voice was obviously filled with joy.
Xu Sili snorted, and his heart surged with the joy of a victor. He really wasn't without charm!
It was just that … he was really tired.
"No, let's rest for a while more," he said lazily.
Si Sheng calmed down and gently stroked his hair. He also used the Healing Stream to nourish his body and reduce his fatigue.
"Your Majesty …"
He wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by the young man's muttering, "Don't call me that again!"
Si Sheng paused, wondering what he had done to upset him. Just as he was about to reflect, he heard the young man say, "Now that you call me 'Your Majesty', my legs go weak. What am I going to do in front of the ministers in the future?"
Si Sheng: "…"
He was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then … what should I call you?"
The young man looked up and met his eyes.
"Si Li, Xu Sili."
He said softly, "That's my name."
