Don’t cry…

Xiu wanted to comfort Wen Chu, but he was in dragon form now, and opening his mouth only produced low growls.

Hearing his voice, Wen Chu’s tears fell even more fiercely.

Xiu was extremely nervous and wanted to transform back into human form immediately.

But he didn’t know what that demonic energy just now was. Although the cramping in his lower abdomen had receded, his magic power still hadn’t recovered. At this moment, he didn’t even have the strength to transform back into human form.

Xiu had no choice but to whimper anxiously a few times, rubbing against Wen Chu with the tip of his nose and sticking out his tongue to lick Wen Chu’s tears.

He was really too big. With this lick, half of Wen Chu’s body was completely soaked. Not only were the tears not licked clean, but his whole body was wet.

Xiu hadn’t eaten much these past few days; the last time he ate was the nutritious meal Wen Chu fed him.

Therefore, when the giant dragon licked him, Wen Chu only smelled a fresh scent of fruit and wood.

Wen Chu was also dazed by the lick.

He looked at the giant dragon.

Xiu couldn’t speak, but inexplicably, Wen Chu could understand what the other party meant.

“You can’t turn back into human form? Because those people hurt you just now?” Wen Chu asked.

Xiu nodded.

Wen Chu pursed his lips: [System, help me transfer ten hours of lifespan to Xiu.]

The system’s voice sounded: [Cannot transfer. He isn’t injured, just temporarily lost all magic power.]

[Why?] Wen Chu asked subconsciously.

But before waiting for the system’s answer, Wen Chu was rubbed by the giant dragon again.

The giant dragon lay prostrate on the ground, lowered its head, and gently touched the tip of the beautiful white-haired boy’s nose.

“Roar—”

Even the voice was very guilty and apprehensive.

Wen Chu suddenly lost the mood to question further. He was both worried and angry, reaching out to pinch the scales on both sides of the giant dragon’s cheeks, as if pinching Xiu’s face: “You still know to be guilty? Do you know how worried I was when I woke up and heard you went straight to the front line?”

“Don’t say anything about being able to protect yourself. If I weren’t here just now, what did you plan to do? Even ignoring the child, have you ever thought about me? Do you want me to be a widow for you for a lifetime?”

Wen Chu had calmed down a bit, but now choked up more as he spoke.

Along the way, seeing countless flames of war and hearing Mary’s words, emotions of guilt, worry, and nervousness surged, finally bursting the dam upon seeing Xiu.

Wen Chu blinked, his vision blurred by tears again.

In his eyes, Xiu turned into a blurry patch of gold and blue. Wen Chu’s tears fell patter-patter.

Xiu widened his eyes, looking at Wen Chu anxiously.

His claws were too sharp, and his body was so huge that he couldn’t even wipe Wen Chu’s tears now. He could only emit low growls, letting Wen Chu pull his face.

Wen Chu’s tears fell on his heart like a sharp knife, cutting open his flesh and piercing straight into his softest place.

Xiu absolutely didn’t think there was anything wrong with Wen Chu scolding him like this.

Wen Chu crying nearly broke his heart. He only hated that he couldn’t dig out his heart to make Wen Chu happy.

When Alice arrived, she saw this scene.

The beautiful and exquisite white-haired boy hugged the giant dragon’s head, shedding tears, while the dragon dared not move at all.

The surroundings were silent. Eleven high-level demons lay on the ground unable to get up, and even the entire city had no sound.

It looked like the deathly silence after a fierce battle.

Without time to think why the ground was so clean, Alice thought something really happened to Xiu and stepped forward quickly: “The medic is right behind. Wen Chu, make way first; let’s send Xiu to the rear.”

Wen Chu raised his head, eyes red, speaking with a nasal voice: “He’s fine.”

Alice: ?

Alice turned her head and met the giant dragon’s burning gaze.

Wen Chu explained concisely: “When I came, he was besieged by a group of demons, so I used a bit of magic power to weave a dream for everyone in the Royal Capital. Now they are asleep.”

After his magic power increased, he could create dreams, and his ability finally wasn’t useless like before, only able to enter dreams after the other party fell asleep. Now he could actively pull others into dreams.

Alice’s expression went blank for a moment: “Huh?”

A nightmare? Making the whole city fall asleep?

Did she go straight to heaven from working overnight continuously? Otherwise, how could she hear such outrageous words?

It was also at this moment that Alice realized there wasn’t a single trace of injury on Xiu’s body.

Even the golden scales reflected the brilliance of the rising morning sun, shiny and sparkling, cleaner than her dust-covered self.

Alice: …

“Then you were crying like…” Alice paused, barely holding back the inauspicious phrase “husband died.”

“…Then why were you crying so sadly?”

Wen Chu sniffled: “Just wanted to cry.”

Thinking of all the things he did, thinking of how long Xiu struggled alone, he wanted to cry.

Alice’s face showed an obviously incomprehensible speechless expression.

But now was clearly not the time to dwell on such trivial matters.

Although absurd beyond belief, Xiu helped them flatten the cities on the necessary path in a few hours, and Wen Chu took down the entire Royal Capital without shedding blood as soon as he acted.

Alice tried hard to ignore the lovestruck human and dragon, pulling the topic back to business: “How long can your dream maintain?”

Wen Chu felt it: “About half an hour left?”

It happened suddenly then; he didn’t have time to think much, directly weaving parts of his and Xiu’s experiences in this world into a dream, letting everyone in the Royal Capital watch in the dream.

He deleted many inappropriate places and private parts. At most, it was only enough for half an hour.

But half an hour was enough to go to the palace and kill the King ten times back and forth.

Alice delayed no more, deciding promptly: “Lance and the medics are in the rear. I’ll enter the palace first. By the way, there are also these few demons—”

Alice raised her giant dragon-slaying sword with one hand, about to slash at the demons on the ground.

“Wait.” Wen Chu spoke.

Alice’s sword stopped in mid-air: “What’s wrong?”

Only then did she realize Wen Chu was also a demon. Just as she was debating whether to give Wen Chu face and spare these people, she heard Wen Chu’s cold voice.

“Leave one alive. Something is wrong with them.”

Although he arrived late, he also heard some dialogue. These demons were obviously brewing some conspiracy to control Xiu, only failing due to some unknown error midway.

Wen Chu lowered his eyes.

Just thinking about the possibility of losing Xiu, he could hardly suppress his dark emotions.

Wen Chu said softly: “Just this female demon at the very front. Keep her alive and bring her back. After I settle Xiu, I’ll interrogate her personally.”

He bit the last four words very lightly, still carrying the sticky nasal sound after crying.

But Alice shuddered inexplicably.

She remembered the glance she saw of Wen Chu facing Louis in the interrogation room back then, looking at Wen Chu with unprecedented fear in her eyes.

“Okay.”

Wen Chu didn’t say more to Alice.

He still had many things he wanted to say to Xiu alone, so he turned to Xiu who was staring at him unblinkingly and asked: “Can you still get up and fly yourself?”

Xiu roared once, indicating no problem.

His lower abdomen didn’t hurt anymore. Except for magic power not returning temporarily, there was no discomfort.

Wen Chu nodded, said goodbye to Mary on the carriage, and climbed onto the dragon’s neck.

“We haven’t reached the teleportation array to the Elven Race. Have to trouble you to take me back first.” Wen Chu whispered in Xiu’s ear.

Wen Chu is still willing to ride him, so he shouldn’t be that angry.

Xiu roared again, stood up somewhat happily, flapped his wings immediately, and flew into mid-air.

Mary’s voice came from far below: “Your crystal cores still have leftovers—”

The wind roared in the air, blowing Wen Chu’s already messy white long hair even messier. He shouted downwards: “Given to you as travel expenses!”

After saying this, the giant dragon flew far away with him.

Alice looked enviously at the departing giant dragon and the white-haired boy sitting on him, sighing: “I wanted to be such a dragon rider when I was a child.”

However, the dragon ignored her completely, chasing her all the way to the Forging Dukedom, almost beating her to death.

Alice thought about it, then rolled her eyes with an idea.

Xiu ignores her, but surely she has a chance with the one in Xiu’s belly, right?

Wen Chu and Xiu look like the type where the child is an accident. She can totally take advantage of the time when these two don’t care to step in and become the godmother of the unloved little dragon!

The more Alice thought, the more feasible it seemed. She cheerfully swung the giant sword to end the lives of the demons on the ground, then tied up the female demon Wen Chu specifically asked for and threw her to Mary.

“Trouble you to watch her for a while. My soldiers and the Elven reinforcements will arrive in ten minutes.”

Alice carried the sword and ran happily towards the Royal Capital.

“Now I’m going to take my dad’s dog life!”

Mary: ?

The blonde, blue-eyed elf blinked in disbelief, watching Alice’s happily retreating figure, feeling for the first time that she might still not understand humans well.

Why are humans so happy about patricide?

.

On the other side.

Xiu had landed steadily with Wen Chu, causing a commotion within the Elven Race.

Hearing the noise, Juliana came forward, obviously showing a relieved expression upon seeing Wen Chu and Xiu.

“Are you okay?”

Wen Chu jumped down from Xiu and shook his head: “Fine. Just that Xiu can’t turn back into human form temporarily. I need a courtyard where I can put Xiu down and be alone with him for a while.”

Juliana nodded, expressing understanding: “I’ll send an elf to take you there now.”

“By the way, after settling Xiu, come to my place. About Xiu’s pregnancy, I have some guesses and need your help to verify.”

“Okay.”

Wen Chu’s mind wasn’t on that dragon egg at all now. After thanking Juliana absent-mindedly, he left with Xiu.

The palace was built around the Tree of Life in a circular structure, which destined that it was difficult to have an independent courtyard capable of holding Xiu alone.

Therefore, the courtyard Juliana arranged for them was outside the palace.

It was relatively remote with no residents around. The courtyard was fully half the size of the palace, with various buildings scattered inside and a large patch of uncultivated fields. In fact, it was a farm with just-completed infrastructure and hadn’t started cultivation yet.

Wen Chu was very satisfied with this place.

Remote, quiet, with enough space, no need to worry about being disturbed.

After entering the farm, he took out a soundproof scroll from his storage stone and used it.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Xiu lay quietly on the grass waiting for Wen Chu’s punishment.

Wen Chu is so angry; he probably wants to punish him severely, right?

What is he planning to do? Whip him? But he is in dragon form now; probably the whip would break first.

Or lock him into a dream? Use those props to fuck him thoroughly?

Thinking this, Xiu’s breathing quickened a bit.

This isn’t punishment.

For him, this is eating a bit too well.

After using the scroll, Wen Chu turned around and met Xiu’s darkened gaze.

“Roar wu—”

Seeing him look over, the giant dragon whimpered, carefully lowered his head to rub his cheek, as if ingratiating himself.

Wen Chu sighed and touched the dragon’s head: “Idiot.”

Clearly, it was he who hurt Xiu’s heart and didn’t care about Xiu’s emotions, causing Xiu to make such a dangerous move.

The result was that now Xiu was scolded by him, but instead of being angry, he ran over to please him.

Xiu always called him an idiot.

Clearly, Xiu himself was the biggest idiot.

The dragon felt Wen Chu’s softening, “wu wu”ing as he circled Wen Chu into his arms with his tail.

His body size was really too big. Just the tip of his claw was as big as Wen Chu’s head. The beautiful nightmare looked like a mini doll in his arms.

Looking even cuter.

Xiu’s beast pupils deepened a few degrees.

He couldn’t help sticking out his tongue to lick again, absorbing Wen Chu’s scent, licking the tiny nightmare wet again.

Wen Chu was licked unsteady, staggering left and right, struggling: “Stop! I haven’t finished speaking!”

The dragon’s tongue was rough, directly hooking open Wen Chu’s pajamas, revealing a large patch of the boy’s pink-white skin—directly licked pink by him.

Xiu’s breathing quickened a few degrees, scratching the ground irritably with his claws, barely enduring under Wen Chu’s rejection.

Wen Chu looked at Xiu seriously: “Lie down.”

Xiu widened his eyes.

Could it be Wen Chu’s punishment is to do it with him now?

But in dragon form, the size difference between him and Wen Chu is so big. Unless Wen Chu crawls entirely into his body, it’s hard for him to have any real feeling.

But it’s not impossible.

As long as it’s Wen Chu, as long as he realizes Wen Chu is doing more intimate things with him.

Even if it’s fingers, he would uncontrollably orgasm due to mental pleasure.

Xiu whimpered, lay down quickly, and at the same time raised his tail to pull Wen Chu closer, looking at Wen Chu expectantly.

Wen Chu felt creeped out by his stare, tightened his collar, and walked closer to check Xiu’s lower abdomen.

Five months pregnant, just starting to show. There was an inconspicuous curve on the dragon’s lower abdomen. Without looking carefully, it would probably be taken directly as fat.

Wen Chu placed his hand on the soft scales of Xiu’s lower abdomen.

[System, check for me. Is the egg in Xiu’s belly okay?]

He saw clearly that the demonic energy hit directly on Xiu’s lower abdomen.

The system said Xiu was fine, but Wen Chu was a little worried about whether the egg would have problems. Better ask the system clearly before settling accounts.

System: [Relax. Even if Xiu dies, the egg won’t die.]

Wen Chu frowned: [Don’t say such things, it’s inauspicious.]

System: […]

Why so superstitiously feudal everyday.

After confirming the egg in Xiu’s belly was also fine, Wen Chu barely relaxed.

He took a deep breath and looked up at Xiu, who was exposing his belly to him defenselessly.

“Sorry.”

Wen Chu had brewed many words along the way, but after meeting Xiu’s gaze, what blurted out first was an apology.

Xiu looked at him in astonishment, emitting a confused roar.

Why apologize?

Wen Chu gently stroked Xiu’s lower abdomen, lowering his eyes: “Sorry, I didn’t notice your emotions. I didn’t know you and Alfred were the same person.”

Upon hearing “Alfred,” the dragon under his hand obviously held his breath.

Wen Chu bit his lower lip, his nose starting to feel sour again.

He held back tears and said: “I don’t hate you. I don’t need you to use fake death to kill yourself to please me.”

“At first, my impression of Alfred was quite good. I was just… I was just a little jealous. Because I saw your storage room, I thought your relationship with him was very good. I was just jealous that he had a good relationship with you.”

Wen Chu dared not imagine how long of a nightmare that light “hate” brought to Xiu.

Xiu looked at Wen Chu at a loss.

When caught by Wen Chu, his first reaction was guilt.

He initially just wanted to sort out his chaotic thoughts a little. Only when he saw Wen Chu appear with red eyes did Xiu realize belatedly how frightened Wen Chu would be by his departure without saying goodbye.

He thought he would be dragged back and fucked, or pulled into a dream like last night, so while expecting it, he was also faintly afraid.

But Xiu never expected that what came first was Wen Chu’s apology and confession.

Wen Chu threw himself on the dragon’s warm belly, his voice muffled: “I scared you with the interrogation last night, right? That’s why you left suddenly. I won’t play so excessively in the future. Sorry.”

Xiu was even more astonished.

He whimpered aggrievedly.

No, Wen Chu can’t not dream with him.

Dragons have strong desires. He had been very restrained in reality, eating very little. Now that he was pregnant with an egg, if he wasn’t allowed to eat a couple of mouthfuls in dreams to satisfy his craving, he would die of suffocation.

Wen Chu didn’t notice Xiu’s strangeness, continuing to murmur: “The poems you wrote are very good; actually, I like them very much. Also, the barbecue you gave me in the forest was delicious. I wasn’t angry because you sent wolves to chase me. You even gave me a lot of crystal cores afterward…”

Wen Chu paused, remembering those crystal cores he casually gave away, starting to feel heartache.

When Xiu gets better, he’ll go hunting to earn the crystal cores back.

Wen Chu wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, walked to Xiu, and hugged the dragon’s head.

He pressed his nose against the dragon’s nose.

“When Alice came to find me on the first day, I already knew you wanted to keep me in captivity. I’ve been waiting for when you would be willing to tell me. I thought you didn’t like me enough, or wanted to give me a surprise, so you didn’t tell me.”

Wen Chu said softly.

“But I only knew yesterday that you didn’t dare to do it because you were afraid of hurting me.”

“…In your dream, when I was locked in the cage, I was very happy. Xiu, you can lock me up. Only you can keep me locked up.”

Wen Chu had been locked up for many years.

Inside the laboratory, inside the thick glass cover, watching people come and go outside. So much so that before meeting Xiu, not only was his common sense zero, but his language organization ability was also almost non-existent.

Having seen the vast world outside, if someone else wanted to lock him up, Wen Chu naturally wouldn’t be willing.

But Xiu was different.

Xiu wouldn’t lock him up like that, and he was willing to be chained by Xiu.

He personally walked into this cage named “love.”

Xiu looked at Wen Chu motionless, not even having time to be sad about his lost wet dream, stunned on the spot by Wen Chu’s words.

He didn’t know…

Didn’t know Wen Chu actually knew his malicious thoughts long ago.

Since last night, the chaotic thoughts seemed to be slowly loosening. Knots were untied one by one, becoming clear lines.

And all lines pointed in the same direction.

Love.

He was so obsessively in love with Wen Chu, and Wen Chu loved him equally.

Not because of his disguise, nor forced by the child and carnal indulgence.

He wanted to cut out his heart for Wen Chu to coax Wen Chu, and Wen Chu gave all his sincerity to him first.

It was complete, reserved love.

Xiu’s breathing quickened again.

Wen Chu’s words were like an aphrodisiac to him. He wanted to kiss the other party, hug the other party into his bones, even swallow Wen Chu in one bite.

But he couldn’t speak; his chest full of love couldn’t be expressed.

The dragon growled low. The size difference between him and Wen Chu was too big, so he could only lick the doll-like little person over and over again to satisfy his craving, licking away all of Wen Chu’s remaining words.

Wen Chu was licked unsteady again, staggering left and right.

He pushed Xiu’s head hard: “Stop! Wait! Don’t lick me anymore!”

But his words and weak strength obviously couldn’t stop the giant dragon who couldn’t control himself. Wen Chu’s already precarious pajamas were completely licked off.

The giant dragon was obviously more excited.

This time not only his upper body, his pants were also affected.

The giant dragon’s tongue was taller than his whole person. Covering him like this, licking his whole body once, Wen Chu groaned unconsciously.

“Roar wu—”

Xiu emitted a suppressed and dull roar, as if enduring something, his tail slapping the ground irritably.

Wen Chu suddenly realized something and turned to look.

He saw Xiu’s two.

Xiu was aroused.
