VCRMM: Chapter 612

Xu Fengqing heard the system notification and looked at his attribute panel.

Once the two bracelets were put on, his health remained unchanged but his mana and stamina were depleted. All the magic skills he possessed had turned gray and became unusable.

He looked at Xenos, who was still smiling gently, and hesitated for a moment. “Xenos, are you testing the effects of these two bracelets?”

“They can imprison the wearer’s elemental and bloodline powers. Right now, I can no longer use any of my power and…”

Xu Fengqing tried it and said, “The wearer can’t remove it themselves.”

The smile on Xenos’ face faded slightly as he looked at Xu Fengqing, who still trusted him completely even now. His hand slowly clenched into a fist.

“Really?”

He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly as he looked at the silver bracelet on the man’s wrist.

He really…

Should he destroy that trust with his hands?

“Hmm.” Xu Fengqing nodded. “This dark dragon forged these two bracelets. I don’t know why but since it was ordered to be forged, Turles might know some clues.”

It was from this master blacksmith that he learned the silver couple rings were forged from dragon scales. Even if he didn’t know Ashus, he should be able to offer some insights from the materials and forging techniques.

“Are you going to find Turles?”

Xu Fengqing was pondering this when he suddenly heard Xenos ask a question in a strange tone.

He turned his head to look. The silver-haired man had his eyes slightly lowered and his calm face revealed nothing.

“Yes.” Xu Fengqing nodded. “It is rare to find a clue.”

He pursed his lips but still revealed his original plan. “I need to investigate this matter so I might not be able to visit you for a while.”

He checked Xenos’ information again. There were no debuffs on his status bar but he wasn’t in good shape. He was probably just too tired.

“You need to get more rest. Work is never-ending.”

Xu Fengqing checked the time. “It is too late now. I won’t bother you anymore. You should go to sleep early.”

He looked at the silver bracelet on his wrist.

“Ah Xe, can you help me unbind these two bracelets?”

Xenos laughed and looked at him. His smile was still as gentle and bright as over, but Xu Fengqing felt his heart tremble when he looked at the purple eyes that were focused on him.

“I’m afraid not.”

“What…”

Before Xu Fengqing could ask, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck. His vision went black and he lost consciousness.

Xenos reached out and caught the falling Xu Fengqing, holding him in a tight embrace.

His chin rested against the man’s temple, gently rubbing against him. His beautiful purple eyes, like glass, held a sorrow that was about to overflow.

“Fengqing, didn’t you say I was your responsibility?”

His voice was low and deep. It was no longer the gentle and bright one from before. “If that is the case, how can you shirk your responsibilities now?”

In reality, Xu Fengqing opened his eyes in the game cabin, rubbed his neck and sat up.

Due to the game system’s protective measures, a player would be forced offline when stunned in the game. They could only log back in after the sun buff disappeared.

He sat in the gaming cabin with a furrowed brow.

It wasn’t because he suddenly fainted in the game but he saw a system notification before being forcibly logged off.

It was Xenos who attacked him.

So when he put the two silver bracelets on his hands, was it really to intentionally control him?

But why?

Xu Fengqing couldn’t figure it out. He sat there blankly for around half an hour before the game notified him that he could log back in. Then he lay back down in the game cabin.

Xu Fengqing opened his eyes and found himself lying on his back. There was a soft mattress beneath him and a bed canopy and an unfamiliar, ornate ceiling in front of him, and a slightly glaring light.

Xu Fengqing looked down again and was startled to see a figure lying on top of him, arms wrapped around him, cheek buried in his neck.

He instinctively raised his hand to stroke the person’s hair but realized something was wrong.

Xu Fengqing looked around and saw that in addition to wearing the two bracelets, his hands were also bound by chairs that flowed like water, fixed to the bedposts on both sides.

What exactly was going on here?

“Did you wake up?”

The man buried in his neck noticed his movement and looked up at him.

Xu Fengqing stared blankly.

It was indeed Xenos, but a Xenos that was completely unfamiliar to him.

He had never seen Xenos display such a cold expression. It wasn’t the ruthless decisiveness he displayed when facing enemies on the battlefield but rather…

His eyes were still bright but held a sinister madness that made people afraid to meet his gaze. It was as if they had lost all emotional warmth, like a hunter aiming at prey. He… was the prey.

Xu Fengqing frowned. He felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of Xenos.

“Ah Xe?”

After a moment of stunned silence, he pulled the chain with difficulty and carefully reached out to touch Xenos’ cheek.

The warm, soft touch made him feel a bit more at ease.

Xenos tilted his head slightly, squinted and rubbed his face against the man’s broad, warm palm.

He liked being noticed by Xu Fengqing like this, he liked him like this…

Xu Fengqing was all he could see and think about.

The silver-haired man squinted slightly, gently rubbing his hand against the other person’s palm. He exuded a dangerous aura, yet he was so languid and elegant. He was full of captivating charm.

Xu Fengqing swallowed hard, unable to control himself.

At this moment, Xenos was undoubtedly very attractive to him. The problem was…

“Ah Xe, what’s going on?” He struggled against the chains binding his hands.

Xenos opened his eyes, looked at the chains formed by the water and said slowly with a slight smile, “This is a new skill I recently mastered. I call it the Water Chain.”

Due to its inherent characteristics, the water element rarely had control skills, especially such subtle control skills.

However, Xenos did it.

Using a regular rope wouldn’t be impossible, but Fengqing still had a chance to break free. On the other hand, the water chain was always under his mental control.

He could immediately sense any unusual movement from Fengqing.

Xenos looked at Xu Fengqing and slowly stroked his cheek with long fingers.

“After the brave returns, their body left in this world will disappear after ten minutes unless in an abnormal state, such as being imprisoned.”

“So that is why I have to tie you up like this. Fengqing, will you blame me?”

The man had a gentle smile on his face. It was Xenos, whom Xu Fengqing felt was familiar yet extremely unfamiliar. It was because there was a dark color in Xenos’ eyes.

Xu Fengqing stared at him blankly, unsure how to react.

Xenos lowered his eyes slightly, a hint of disappointment flashing in them before he quickly concealed it. He stroked Xu Fengqing’s face, his voice filled with satisfaction.

“It is okay even if you blame me. Now you have no choice but to stay by my side.”

“Ah Xe, what exactly are you…!”

Xu Fengqing stared wide-eyed at Xenos, who was so close to him. Then he felt a warm, soft touch on his lips. His heart pounded wildly in his chest and his ears suddenly burned.

Xenos gently took his lips, licking them delicately with the tip of his tongue before forcing his way into Xu Fengqing’s mouth. He quickly stole Xu Fengqing’s breath while the other person was still stunned and dazed.

Xu Fengqing felt his mind gradually go blank. All his thoughts and senses were taken over by the exchange of saliva between the two of them.

He and Ah Xe were kissing!

Xu Fengqing was a bit confused and passionate. He subconsciously reached out, wanting to hug Xenos.

However, the resistance from his arms brought him back to his senses.

His dazed eyes cleared again and his body instinctively retreated, wanting to pause and figure out what was going on.

He liked Xenos, no, loved him deeply. He longed to kiss Xenos but definitely not in this strange situation!

Something was clearly wrong with Xenos. He simply couldn’t ignore the unease and enjoy this intimacy with him.

However, sensing his resistance, Xenos didn’t allow him to refuse at all.

The hand gently stroking the man’s cheek pressed down on the back of his head, forcefully turning him back while the other hand firmly gripped his chin.

As Xu Fengqing struggled, Xenos’ mouth lost its initial gentleness and care. Instead, it sucked hard. His eyes, hidden behind light-colored eyelashes, were both calm and frantic.

Xu Fengqing had never experienced such an intense and forceful kiss. Due to this passionate kiss, his strength gradually dissipated and his limbs started to feel weak.

The hands, bound by chains, clenched into fists and struggled. Then gradually, the fists loosened and the taut chains relaxed once more.

Xu Fengqing was lost in Xenos’ kiss.

Between him and Xenos, he should’ve been the one with more experience. But at this moment, he could only be defeated in front of Xenos.

After an unknown amount of time, Xenos finally released him, pressing their foreheads tightly together. Both breathed heavily, their breaths mingling. There was still some ambiguous, sticky fluid between their lips.

Xenos licked the man’s swollen lips, still wanting more. Then he looked up and met Xu Fengqing’s somewhat dazed gaze.

Xenos was silent for a moment before leaning down and tenderly kissing the corner of his eye. Then he embraced Xu Fengqing again, buried his face in the man’s neck and inhaled deeply.

It was okay. Even if Fengqing resisted or disliked him, Fengqing would be forced to stay by his side from now on. Xenos would be content as long as he could kiss and touch the other person like this.

Of course, a deep fear still lingered in Xenos’ heart.

He might’ve imprisoned Fengqing’s power and bound him to prevent him from escaping, but he couldn’t stop Fengqing from returning to the world of the braves.

This was a right granted to the braves by the elemental elf. He couldn’t take it away no matter what.

However, Fengqing couldn’t stay in the world of the braves forever. His family had already formed a deep connection with this world, so he would definitely come back. But…

What if he got his family to rescue him? Various possibilities flashed through Xenos’ mind.

He buried his face deeper into Xu Fengqing’s neck and closed his eyes tightly.

Then… let’s just kill them all.

In any case, the braves didn’t really die.

Xu Fengqing had no idea what terrible thoughts were in Xenos’ mind. His breathing gradually quieted and his blank mind regained some clarity.

Now wasn’t the time for daydreaming or to savor it!

He struggled to sit up, but as soon as he moved, he sensed something wrong and his body stiffened.

Xenos was already pressing down on him, so Xenos naturally felt the changes in the man’s body.

He blinked, slightly raised himself and looked down.

Xu Fengqing had already taken off his fashionable outer garment and was now wearing only a tight, black short-sleeved shirt and a pair of casual pants.

The tight fabric perfectly outlined his figure and it was the same for his…

Xu Fengqing turned his head away, ashamed and wanting to cover his eyes. It was just that his bound hands made it impossible.

He gritted his teeth. “Ah Xe, I…”

Then he heard a soft laugh that was filled with pleasure.

He looked at Xenos and saw the other person’s eyes crinkle slightly. Then Xenos leaned closer, gently bit his earlobe and said in an ambiguous and indulgent tone, “Fengqing, you are so sensitive…”
