Cha Mo had already returned to his human form for some time.
When Si Sheng came looking for him, he had just sent Little Ash and Jade Palace to the academy. He was sitting at a small round table in the garden, holding a teacup and drinking tea leisurely.
Niya from the Water Healing Division stood beside him, looking rather upset.
"Cha Mo, please cooperate with my treatment!"
Niya had never met someone like Cha Mo before.
In her previous career, it was basically other people begging her to treat them. This was the first time she had ever met someone who begged her to treat them.
However, she had no choice but to beg. That little Majesty had said that curing one Cha Mo was worth a thousand injuries. She could not refuse such a temptation.
Cha Mo was drinking hot tea with a book in his hand. He smiled and said, "Miss Niya, don't worry. Come, have a cup of tea to cool down."
He picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to her.
"Injuries and whatnot, just let nature take its course. Pursuing too much speed will leave behind hidden dangers."
The man had short silver-grey hair and wore earrings that were unique to other races. He was extraordinarily handsome when he smiled. He was indeed an irresistible man.
Niya, however, turned a blind eye to him.
She said in a low voice, "Are you questioning my Healing Stream? As a former member of the Royal Water Healing Division, forgive me for not being able to accept such humiliation! "
Cha Mo looked at her and sighed. He was about to say something when he suddenly frowned.
He turned his head and looked at the entrance of the garden.
Niya saw that he was ignoring her and was a little angry at first. However, when she followed Cha Mo's line of sight, she could not help but be stunned.
"… You are?"
Cha Mo sized up the golden-haired man who was emitting a strong aura. His beastly instincts made his back stiffen and he could not move for a moment.
He was just standing there and did nothing, but he felt like he was facing an ancient beast king and lost control of his body.
"Cha Mo?"
Si Sheng looked at him indifferently. His eyes were as cold as ice, and it was obvious that he was not in a good mood at the moment.
Cha Mo nodded stiffly. Under Niya's astonished gaze, he suddenly turned into a silver-gray giant wolf.
It crawled on the ground and meekly lowered its head.
The difference between a 4-Star and an 8-Star was more than just a one-fold difference in strength. Furthermore, a beast's instinct to submit to the strong made Cha Mo unable to resist in front of Si Sheng.
Niya, on the other hand, did not have such a big reaction, but her cheeks were red. As Si Sheng walked closer, she nervously held her breath.
"I need to talk to it."
She heard the man's cold voice.
Niya came back to her senses, hurriedly lifted her skirt and bowed, then ran away with a trembling body.
Only Si Sheng and the silver wolf were left in the garden.
Si Sheng looked down at the Giant Silver Wolf and said in a low voice,
"Tell me about the day you left for Lan Yue City."
Cha Mo swallowed his saliva. He was slightly hesitant, but under Si Sheng's increasing pressure, he finally relented.
"This … this is the deal I made with His Majesty Roland … I took him to Lan Yue City, and he helped me heal. Before I recovered, he would give Ah Sheng a stable environment to grow up in …"
"You took His Majesty to Lan Yue City?"
Si Sheng tilted his head. This was a pleasant surprise.
"Tell me in detail, I want to know everything that happened that day, including the time, where you went, what you did, and … who you met."
"I want to know everything without any mistakes, or else …"
Cha Mo once again lay on the ground, as if he was under some kind of heavy pressure, revealing a painful and indescribable expression.
This familiar pressure …
Although he could not remember the memory of when he was unconscious, the fear of this pressure was engraved into his bones.
Cha Mo did not dare to be negligent. He told Si Sheng everything that happened that day without reservation, even including the clothes that the little Emperor wore.
"I … I don't know what His Majesty Roland did on the other side of the lake, he should have met someone … I saw the black smoke of a fire …"
Si Sheng pursed his lips.
His voice became even lower, but it was impossible to tell what kind of emotions he was feeling.
"You said that he was originally very happy, but when he came back … he was in a bad mood?"
"Yes …"
Cha Mo did not know if he should say the rest. His brown eyes turned, and when he saw Si Sheng's dark expression, he could not help but tremble.
"His Majesty seemed to be crying … his eyes were very red, and his voice was a little choked … When he flashed back, I vaguely heard the sound of an argument …"
"When he returned, his mood was very low. I didn't want to cause trouble, so I found an excuse to leave. I don't know what happened after that …"
Si Sheng lowered his eyebrows and stared at the wolf. There was no trace of emotion in his grayish-blue eyes. He squinted slightly, and looked very dangerous.
"You said that His Majesty flashed back … are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure. He walked to the other side of the lake, and then he used the Flash spell."
Si Sheng was still staring at the wolf, but his thoughts had drifted away.
A certain conversation appeared in his mind — —
"Why does His Majesty look so tired?"
"He used your skill …"
"Did using my skill cause a lot of burden to you?"
"Yes …"
It was that day.
The first time he used the summoning spell to summon him back, the day he lost control of his emotions …
It was also after that day that he would occasionally show a sad expression, as if he had lost his vitality.
Si Sheng clenched his fists. He told himself not to think about it anymore, but his thoughts were running on their own.
Many details that he could not understand at that time began to connect.
It was also after that day that their relationship improved by leaps and bounds. His Majesty began to accept him, and began to rely on him …
Then, one day, he suddenly pulled himself together.
What happened on that day?
Yes, there was a traitor in Lan Yue City. His Majesty called for a meeting that day, and the one who discovered the traitor was the Hero.
He was also the leader of Yu Siqing's mercenary group? He led the mission to eliminate the traitor and protect Lan Yue City?
Si Sheng's mouth twitched, but there was no smile in his eyes. He told himself not to think about it anymore, not to think about that more cruel possibility, but he found that …
He could not control his thoughts at all.
So, his Majesty accepted him because … he quarreled with the Hero? Was it because of the Hero … that he wanted him to be his lover?
Then, what was he to his Majesty?
A substitute that could be discarded at any time? Or a plaything that could be played with?
The scene of the young man in luxurious clothes hugging the Hero in the hall appeared in his eyes again.
Then, now …
Did they make up?
"Thump —"
Si Sheng felt as if his heart was being grabbed by a hand. It was more painful than being thrown into the abyss and facing the endless darkness at all times.
Cha Mo was under even greater pressure. Its fur was already soaked with sweat, and cracks appeared on the ground beneath its body, as if they were spreading in all directions.
It had not recovered from its injuries, and in the end, it spat out a mouthful of blood, closed its eyes, and fainted.
Si Sheng did not look at the giant wolf at all.
He lowered his eyes, and his bangs drooped down, casting a shadow on his face that could not be erased.
In the end, his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already in another garden. The young man was sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, talking to the captain of the guards, Li Zheyu.
He looked at him from afar, clenching his fists, and his heart was filled with the aura of destruction.
Why … did he have to do this to him?
After giving him hope, he had to take it away in such a way …
Si Sheng stared deeply at the young man's figure.
He had been controlling the twisted ambition in his heart. He often thought that perhaps he should take advantage of the fact that the god was still weaker than him …
Break his wings, cut off his future, and make him rely on him forever. He could only stay by his side and not go anywhere else.
The god's power recovered very quickly. In two months, he had recovered from an ordinary person without stars to a two-star power. Furthermore, he was much stronger than an ordinary two-star power.
Based on his speed, it was only a matter of time before he caught up with him.
One of the reasons why he could suppress that terrifying thought was because the god was too weak previously. He could not protect him at all times, and he hoped that he could have the ability to protect himself.
Now, he had become a two-star power. In this world, as long as he did not go to the wilderness, he could do whatever he wanted …
Take him away, take him to a place where no one could find them, imprison him by his side forever, and make the god his only possession …
Such thoughts continued to grow, and Si Sheng's aura became more and more dangerous.
The young man sitting in the pavilion seemed to have sensed something. He turned his head and looked in Si Sheng's direction.
When the young man saw Si Sheng, he blinked his eyes. Then, a smile suddenly appeared on his originally expressionless face. Even his beautiful purple eyes curved into crescents.
The sun shone on his face. This scene was so beautiful that it seemed like an illusion.
Si Sheng was stunned.
Even at such a time, his smile still affected his heart. It had the power to lift the clouds and reveal the moon. It easily cast a ray of light in his dark heart.
He stood still and looked at the young man from afar.
"Si Sheng!"
The young man put one hand on his mouth like a trumpet. His voice came from afar. Then, he waved his other hand, indicating for Si Sheng to come over.
Si Sheng pursed his lips. He was a little reluctant, but his body flashed and he came to the pavilion.
"Your Majesty …"
His voice was low and deep. Xu Sili did not notice anything strange, but Li Zheyu suddenly felt his hair stand on end.
He looked at Si Sheng and very sensibly bowed. "Your Majesty, this humble one will take his leave first."
"Mm, don't worry about your brother. I will think of a way."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Zheyu said gratefully. Then, he hurriedly left the pavilion, leaving the two most respected people in the Empire alone.
After Li Zheyu left, Xu Sili reached out and pulled Si Sheng to sit beside him. He was still smiling, but his bright eyes seemed to be scheming something.
Si Sheng looked at him and then looked away.
He knew that his state of mind was very unstable. Although he wanted to ask clearly, even he did not know what he would do after hearing the answer.
If he took the god away, would he … still be as happy as he was now?
Probably … not, right?
Based on the time they had spent together, he knew that if he really did that, the god would not show such a gentle side to him again.
So, what should he do now … or should he pretend that he did not know? But he could not pretend that he did not know anything.
"Si Sheng."
The young man's voice sounded in his ear. Si Sheng came back to his senses and found that … he did not know when, but the young man had walked up behind him and hugged him from behind. His voice was somewhat soft.
Did he want him to do something?
He was always like this. When he had something to ask of him, he would lower himself and act like a spoiled child. He knew what the young man was trying to do, but he could not do anything about it.
At an angle where the young man could not see, Si Sheng's mouth twitched in self-mockery.
"What is it? Just say it."
He said with a bit of depression.
Xu Sili did not notice his abnormality at all. His mind was occupied by the important discovery just now.
He sneaked up to Si Sheng and whispered in his ear, "Si Sheng, how about we go to the wilderness together?"
Si Sheng blinked. "What … did you say?"
"It's the Asmo Mountains, between the Imperial City and Lanyue City … a team just went missing there. I want to go there and take a look."
Xu Sili's voice was tinged with excitement.
When he heard Li Zheyu's request, he asked Xiao Wu and found that even Xiao Wu could not monitor the missing fifth team, whether it was players or NPCs.
When his second brother came online again, he asked him about the situation of the players. Second brother went to the Starry Sky Forum and found that the players had indeed posted a request for help — —
About three or four days ago, they were left in the Asmo Mountains, waiting for the next day to cross the river. At night, they encountered a powerful interstellar beast and were forced to leave the shore and go deep into the forest.
In the end, they triggered something and were accidentally sent to a mysterious place.
There, they could not contact the outside world, and they could not even send private messages. Fortunately, they could post on the forum and exchange items from the faction storage.
For a short period of time, their supplies were not a problem, but because the closed beta was coming to an end, they could not enter the game again. Without their supplies, their trapped NPCs could die.
Therefore, they anxiously looked for a solution on the forum and updated their information on the mysterious place every day.
The original poster of the post did not update today, but Xu Sili had another solution — — the Future Forum.
He logged into the forum that he had not used for a long time, ignored some unread messages, and directly searched for information on the Asmo Mountains on the front page. Then, he found out what the mysterious place was.
It was a ruin left behind a hundred years ago, and the owner could no longer be found. About a year after the open beta, that place had become one of the must-go places for every player.
That was because there was a trial mystic realm in the ruins that had no level restrictions! As long as you passed the trial, you could gain 50 points of Spirit in one go!
This was no doubt a very tempting reward.
He was currently level 20, and his Spirit was only around 100 points. Even he was tempted to gain 50 points of Spirit in one go, let alone the players.
Of course, the trial would definitely be difficult.
He did not have any plans to die, but he did want to go to the ruin and bring back that unlucky team.
Anyway …
Si Sheng was so powerful. With him around, there should be no problem going deep into the Asmo Mountains!
Xu Sili had been staying in the Imperial City recently, and could only watch the outside world through the surveillance camera. He had been itching for a long time.
Previously, he was worried that leaving the Imperial City for a period of time might cause a rebellion. However, after following Qiu Zheng for a few days to handle government affairs, he realized that his previous worries were unnecessary.
As a new Emperor who had just ascended the throne three months ago, although his actions were constantly monitored, after a series of measures he implemented in the past two months, the public support for him had significantly increased.
More importantly …
The video of Si Sheng dealing with the traitors in Orchid City, as well as the video of him slaughtering tens of thousands of galactic beasts in one fell swoop, had spread very quickly.
Moreover, the video editor very considerately replayed Si Sheng's sentence, "Those who dare to betray the Empire, His Majesty, will be killed without mercy!" many times.
Coupled with the forbidden technique of Thunder Trial, it was impossible for people to have any thoughts of rebellion.
At least for now, it should be enough to deter those who were ready to make a move.
Thinking of this, Xu Sili tightened his arms even more. His cheek was pressed against Si Sheng's face. He smiled and rubbed against him with joy that was about to overflow.
This is all because of Si Sheng …
"We'll go secretly and not let anyone know."
He continued to whisper, "Oh, we can tell Janice and Li Zheyu to cover for us … I also ordered a bionic robot from the Star Alliance that can disguise as me."
Si Sheng was hugged by him as he listened to his seemingly perfect plan.
Yes, it was perfect …
A plan that could perfectly take him away …
He could not help but clench his fists.
Feeling the tension in his body, Xu Sili thought that he did not agree, so he quickly added, "As long as you use your [Passerby Aura], those galactic beasts will not find me, and I will not be in any danger."
"I'm just going to take a look and bring back the missing team. There are many Elementalists among them."
"Your Majesty …" Si Sheng suppressed the evil thoughts that were constantly expanding as he spoke in a low voice.
"This is not appropriate, it will be … very dangerous."
Xu Sili bit his lip.
Of course, he also knew the danger, but Si Sheng's strength gave him a lot of confidence. He even felt that Si Sheng was omnipotent.
However …
"Alright then."
Xu Sili said, a little discouraged.
He did not let go of Si Sheng in a fit of pique. Instead, he leaned on his back like a softie, as if it was natural for him to do so.
As for whether they would be seen by others …
After Si Sheng arrived, the others tacitly left.
Although Xu Sili did not want to make it public, it was difficult to keep secrets in the palace, not to mention that the two of them were too intimate.
If it were anyone else, there would be rumors about them, but Si Sheng's cruelty was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so they did not dare to spread rumors.
"Are you disappointed?" Si Sheng asked.
"Ah, a little."
Xu Sili muttered in a low voice. In order to get out, he secretly sent his second brother away so that he would not worry, but he did not expect to be stuck at the last stage.
"When can I become as strong as you …" Xu Sili said in a low voice, "Then I can go wherever I want."
"Your Majesty … where do you want to go?"
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Xu Sili's body swayed slightly as he chatted with him. "When I become stronger, this country becomes better, and Xiao Qiong grows up, we can go out and play together."
Hearing this, Si Sheng slowly exhaled.
"With me …?" he asked.
"Yes." Xu Sili looked up at the blue sky outside the pavilion. "When I am no longer a burden to you, we can go everywhere."
Thinking of this, he smiled. "I really want to go to the outer space to see."
At this moment, he heard the man's voice.
"You are not a burden."
While he was in a daze, the man suddenly broke free from his embrace, turned around, and hugged him, burying his face in his heart.
"I hope … that I can always be relied on by you and protect you."
After being in a daze, Xu Sili's face couldn't help but heat up. He felt his heartbeat being disturbed again.
Why did she have to use such sincere words to break down his defenses every time? But …
He thought for a moment and said, "Even if I become as strong as you, I will still rely on you."
He hugged Si Sheng and rubbed his chin against his soft blonde hair. A trace of gentleness appeared in his expression.
Psychological dependence was not something that could be given up after one became stronger.
"It's not a problem of whether you are a burden or not, but …"
Xu Sili tilted his head, organized his words, and said, "I also want to protect you."
"Although you are very strong, there will always be times when you are weak."
The image of the man covered in blood and his health bar almost emptied appeared in his mind. Xu Sili felt his heart clench again.
"At such a time, I don't want to be anxious like an ant on a hot pan and not be able to do anything at all."
"If I can become stronger, maybe the Germinal Organization will be able to cure you. When that time comes, you will fight and I will support you, and we will be invincible!"
Si Sheng looked up from his embrace, his gray-blue eyes staring deeply at the young man who said he would protect him.
The young man smiled slightly and rubbed his hair.
It was just like … the warmth he had felt in the beginning, when he had nothing.
It was like … the most dazzling light, with an irresistible warmth and tenderness.
Xu Sili looked down at Si Sheng. He felt that the young man's eyes were especially soft at this moment, completely different from the man who treated him so rudely last night.
Was he touched by my words?
He smiled gently and lowered his head to kiss the young man's beautiful lips.
"Si Sheng, you are so handsome."
The young man's purple eyes curved into a crescent moon, filled with joy and happiness. The disappointment from before was gone.
Si Sheng looked at him and was about to reach out to touch him when the young man's communication device suddenly rang.
Xu Sili raised his communication device and glanced at it.
It was Second Brother.
Today was the last day of the closed beta, and he wanted to say goodbye to him before leaving.
Si Sheng sensed something.
He asked, "Is it Hero?"
"Ah, yes," Xu Sili said casually. "That … uh, the leader of the mercenary group."
He couldn't explain his relationship with Second Brother to Si Sheng at the moment, but he hoped that the two of them could get along well.
"He is very capable. This time, he took care of all the traitors in Orchid City."
Si Sheng pursed his lips. He couldn't bear to hear him praise another man, and … the two of them exchanged numbers?
He felt uncomfortable and stared at the young man. "What did he say to you?"
"He said he wanted to see …"
See?
Si Sheng gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "I will take you there."
"Huh? Where to? "
"To the wilderness, to find the missing team."
