Xi Ning didnât expect that the magic weapon would attack Si TuZhaoâ¦â¦ He panicked and wanted to step forward to take a look. But then he heard someone coming, so he stopped and hid on the side of the rockery.
It was two servants who were passing by. They recognized Si TuZhao and thought that someone was being disrespectful to the Emperorâs guest and attacked him in the Immortal palace. They were so scared that their faces turned pale, but they didnât see anyone else nearby.
Si TuZhao was still standing in the same place. He gave them a cold expression and put his hand behind his back. âItâs nothing, both of you can leave now.â
The servants still had doubts, but they didnât dare to say more. They replied and walked away quickly.
When there was no one nearby, Si TuZhao approached the rockery to find Xi Ning, who was hiding, and his expression changed immediately. âNing Ningâ¦â¦â
He happened to corner Xi Ning at the side of the rockery. Fearing that Xi Ning would be angry, he did not have the guts to kiss him again, so he only held Xi Ningâs hand. âAs long as it can help to cool down your anger, you can beat me and scold me as much as you want.â
Xi Ning pursed his lips and glanced at Si TuZhaoâs body. âAre you injured?â
Si TuZhao originally wanted to say no, but he changed his mind. âIt hurts a little bit, but it doesnât matter.â
He pulled Xi Ningâs hand and held it in front of him. He then said in a low voice, âNing Ning, I will feel better if you help me to rub it.â
Xi Ning did not struggle and said worriedly, âI heard that you were seriously injured when you killed Han Ji? Is your injury better now?â
Si TuZhao saw that Xi Ning raised his head and looked at him with concern. He may have just pushed him away by impulse because he was feeling a bit angry. He said proudly, âThat Han Ji? Even if he had Tian Wu Zhu or the help of Huo Xiu, he was not my opponent.â
At first, he was injured by Han Ji because he was careless, but that night he went there prepared with a bunch of life-saving magic equipment that Xi Ning gave him. After he killed Han Ji, he couldnât find Tian Wu Zhu but Huo Xiu was still hiding and attacked him in the dark. He then decided to leave the Immortal Palace and did not return in order to not further involve Xi Ning.
âOhâ¦â¦â Xi Ning slowly withdrew his hand. âThen you just lied to me when you said it hurts.â
Besides, this magic weapon was given to him by Si TuZhao.
Si TuZhao also noticed that something was wrong. He wanted to speak, but he heard the sound of someone walking not far away. He hugged Xi Ning tightly and said near his ear, âLetâs leave this place first.â
He took an isolated path and entered Xi Ningâs palace from the side. At this time, there was no one around the palace. Si TuZhao took Xi Ning into the palace with him and put him on the couch.
âMy Ning Ning, are you still angry with me?â Si TuZhao lowered his head to get closer to Xi Ning. When Xi Ning reached out and stopped him one armâs length away, he could only hold Xi Ningâs palm and kiss it. He then asked tentatively, âIs it becauseâ¦â¦ I concealed my true identity from you?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xi Ningâs expression turned sullen. âWho is your Ning Ning and who are you?â
âIâm Chu Yi.â Si TuZhao put Xi Ningâs hand on his side face and covered the back of his hand. âI never revealed my identity anytime I was outside. At that time, I said I was a devil general and I didnât clarify because I was afraid that you wouldnât believe meâ¦â¦â
What Si TuZhao said was all true. At that time, he hadnât made up his mind to propose marriage to Xi Ning, and even though he was the Devil Lord, he had never bothered to manage the Devil Realm, so this title was not very important to him.
But now in order for him to marry Xi Ning faster, he could only rely on this status.
âNing Ning, can you forgive me?â Si TuZhao rubbed Xi Ningâs wrist along the sliding sleeve and said with a pitiful expression, âExcept for this, I have hidden nothing else from you.â
A sense of satisfaction came from the skin that Si TuZhao touched, Xi Ning was silent for a long while, and then whispered, âHmphâ.
âDid you miss me when I was away these days?â Xi Ningâs mood looked like it had improved. Si TuZhao took the opportunity to get closer and hugged him and then put Xi Ning on his lap while touching his dragonâs horns. âYour horns have grown a little longerâ¦â¦ When I was away, did you apply the medicine yourself?â
âYeah.â Xi Ning obediently leaned in his arms. âI donât likeâ¦â¦ others touching me.â
