VCRMM: Chapter 617

A light kiss almost caused passion to spread like wildfire.

Xenos was so dazed from the kisses that he collapsed onto the bed, his eyes hazy and his hair disheveled. Xu Fengqing’s fragile sanity nearly broke at the sight.

Still, he remembered that Xenos had almost fallen just now and tried his best to control himself.

“Ah Xe, it is time to get up.”

He nuzzled Xenos with the tip of his nose and heard Xenos give a lazy, soft hum. The sound was so seductive that Xu Fengqing couldn’t help lowering his head again to steal the other person’s breathing.

Didn’t Xu Fengqing say they were going to get up?

Confusion flashed in Xenos’ eyes, but he still responded gently and considerately.

The two of them whispered sweet words to each other for a while. Then Xu Fengqing managed to break away just before things got completely out of control.

He released Xenos and got up to take a robe from the cupboard.

Once he returned, he saw Xenos slowly sitting up. This person’s messy hair was disheveled, his fair shoulders faintly visible and the lipstick marks on his white skin clear.

Xu Fengqing paused for a moment before quickening his pace.

He unfolded his robe and draped it over Xenos’ shoulders, covering the beautiful and alluring scenery as well as the ambiguous traces. Then he sighed with relief.

The moment he lowered his eyes, he met Xenos’ purple eyes.

Xenos slowly lifted his eyelids, gaze fixed on Xu Fengqing. Despite his cool and aloof demeanor, his eyes were full of affection and he didn’t care about anything other than Xu Fengqing’s appearance.

Xu Fengqing found it hard not to be moved when facing such a pair of eyes, especially when it came from the person he loved.

“Tone down your charm.” He reached out and gently pinched the man’s nose.

Xenos blinked. Had he done something?

Meanwhile, Xu Fengqing had already lowered his head and was carefully tidying Xenos’ clothes.

“It has been a long time since I dressed you.”

Xu Fengqing couldn’t help sighing. He recalled the scene in the tree hole that day. It was a long time ago but it was still vivid in his mind.

He took out a comb and gently tidied Xenos’ messy hair.

Xenos gripped his shirt and couldn’t help asking, “Really?”

His tone was clearly a bit strange.

Xu Fengqing paused before continuing to comb the hair. He simply tied it up before hugging Xenos from behind. He pressed his lips to Xenos’ neck and asked, “That night in the bathhouse, did you do it on purpose?”

Xenos felt the breaths on his sensitive spot, which tickled him but also made him happy.

He snuggled lazily into Xu Fengqing’s arms.

He recalled what happened that night and hummed after a long while.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Xu Fengqing couldn’t help burying his face in the other person’s shoulder and chuckled softly.

“So it was Ah Xe who seduced me that night?”

Xenos listened to the man’s cheerful laughter and felt a ticklish sensation in his heart.

They used to be very close but always kept to themselves. Their feelings stayed inside the bounds of propriety. There was very little physical contact, let alone situations like this where Xu Fengqing was holding him and laughing in his ear.

He loved this atmosphere. It was so intimate that it felt like a dream.

No, he never had such a beautiful dream.

“But you only kissed my hair.”

Xenos continued softly, “Perhaps I don’t have that much appeal to you.”

Xu Fengqing had to protest his innocence. “I just didn’t want to make you dislike me.”

He kissed the back of Xenos’ ear. “You have no idea how much willpower it took for me to leave that day. Then…”

“What happened next?” Xenos asked curiously.

Xu Fengqing leaned close to his ear and whispered what happened next. This made Xenos’ ears burn, but he was also comforted.

This incident was quite a blow to Xenos or he wouldn’t have lured this man to the palace the very next night to use such drastic measures.

Xu Fengqing smiled after sensing that the other person’s mood had improved. Then he stood up, bent over and gently picked up Xenos.

Xenos didn’t struggle. He trusted the other person completely as they left the bedroom. He embraced Xu Fengqing, thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go to the hot springs tonight. It has been so many years.”

Since taking over the emperor’s position and power, he had no time for leisure. Now that Xu Fengqing had brought it up, he couldn’t help feeling the urge to revisit old places.

“How much work do you still have to do today?” Xu Fengqing looked at the other person’s status bar, which showed the debuffs ‘sore waist, back pain and fatigue’ and couldn’t help feeling guilty.

Xenos shook his head and gave him a slight smile.

“I’ve already arranged all my work yesterday. I’ll be on a two week vacation starting from today.”

Xu Fengqing paused slightly before smiling. It was both for their tacit understanding and the time they could spend together in the future.

Then he heard Xenos whisper in his ear, “This time, I can help you. You don’t have to do it yourself.”

Xu Fengqing’s back stiffened slightly as he looked down at Xenos.

After thinking for a moment, he leaned close to the other person’s ear. “This time… I want to mess with you even more.”

He expected to see Xenos blush and be shy. To his surprise, Xenos did blush from the teasing but his eyes also curved into a smile. His beautiful purple eyes filled with laughter as if he was very happy.

“Okay, whatever you say.”

Xu Fengqing clearly felt the changes in his body and couldn’t help being distressed.

What a vixen…

He lowered his head and kissed Xenos’ lips, biting them to vent. Then he carried Xenos into the dining area of the palace, letting Xenos sit on a soft cushion.

“Before you woke up, I went to the kitchen and saw that a new batch of seafood had arrived this morning. I took some.”

Xu Fengqing spoke to him while opening the cooking panel.

Roland was now thriving. In the reclaimed sea, native life on Escher Star was increasing and the aquaculture industry was developing rapidly. It gradually became a pillar industry of the Roland Empire.

Roland’s seafood was even exported to the universe. Tourists who came to Roland must visit the seafood city beside the sea.

The ingredients supplied to the palace every day were naturally the best and freshest.

Xenos leaned back in his chair, rested his chin in one hand and gazed at Xu Fengqing with soft eyes. His pale purple eyes were clear and bright. He sat bathed in light, looking gentle and radiant.

Xu Fengqing placed the cooked seafood porridge on the table, looked up and saw this scene. He couldn’t help stopping what he was doing.

Xenos, stripped of all his gloom, was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away from him. Such a person actually loved Xu Fengqing deeply.

“Don’t seduce me.”

Under Xenos’ innocent gaze, Xu Fengqing leaned over, pinched his chin and passionately kissed him.

Xenos blinked and watched Xu Fengqing step back before continuing to cook. His pale fingertips pressed against the spot where he had just been kissed, lost in thought.

So this was how it was…

Would this be enough to seduce the man?

“Have some porridge first.”

Xu Fengqing placed a bowl of porridge in front of Xenos. At this moment, the table was already full of food. This included porridge, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, fried dumplings and mixed noodles.

They were all ordinary breakfast fishes but they weren’t common for Xenos.

He elegantly picked up a spoon and tasted the porridge.

The porridge was cooked until it was soft and smooth, so it melted in the mouth. It was infused with the sweetness of seafood and the perfectly seasoned saltiness. All the flavors exploded in his mouth, causing Xenos to close his eyes involuntarily.

The braves had brought many delicacies to Roland since coming to this world. As the ruler, Xenos had tasted almost all of them.

However, this bowl of porridge was different.

He opened his eyes and looked at the gentle, black-haired man opposite him. Xenos’ purple eyes involuntarily curved into a smile.

This was cooked by Fengqing for him. He didn’t see the process, but just knowing this gave the bowl of porridge a different meaning.

“It is delicious,” he said softly.

Xu Fengqing stared at the gentle smile on Xenos’ face. It was really hard to connect him with the obsessive and crazy Xenos from last night, but…

He picked up a fried dumpling with his chopsticks and fed it into the man’s mouth.

Xu Fengqing found it incredibly cute as he watched Xenos open his mouth and bite off half a piece, one cheek puffing out slightly.

Human nature was inherently complex. Everyone had different faces, but Xenos…

Xu Fengqing liked him no matter what he was like.

Xu Fengqing put the remaining fried dumpling into his mouth in a natural and intimate manner. This made Xenos pause slightly. Then he smiled even more happily.

“I wish every day could be like this,” he muttered softly.

Xu Fengqing heard this but didn’t say anything. He simply picked up a boiled shrimp, peeled it, dipped it in soy sauce and fed it to Xenos again. “What do you want to eat tomorrow?”

Xenos opened his mouth and bit into the shrimp. He found it fresh, sweet and delicious. “I want to eat anything you make.”

Xu Fengqing smiled. “Okay.”

He ate a greasy breakfast. By the time he finished, an hour had already passed.

Xenos had never eaten so leisurely.

No one usually dared to urge him, but he was busy with official duties and felt he didn’t have time to waste on such trivial matters. He always ate in a hurry since the purpose of eating was simply to fill his stomach.

Today was the first time he felt that eating food was such a joyful thing. He naturally couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty.

At this moment, the man’s hand appeared in front of him.

“The weather’s nice. Let’s go, I will take you somewhere.”

Xenos looked up at Xu Fengqing in front of him. He nodded slightly and dispelled the inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart.

He was on vacation.

During this vacation, he wasn’t the emperor of Roland. He was just Xenos and he could do whatever he wanted.

Xenos stood up and let Xu Fengqing embrace him. They merged into the shadows and traveled through the shadow world together.

For non-dark elementalists, the shadow world was a terrifying place. It was cold, dark and devoid of any light. Being dragged into the shadow world by a dark elementalist during battle was often fatal.

However, Xenos felt only warmth and peace of mind when held in Xu Fengqing’s arms.

“We’ve arrived.”

The man whispered in his ear after an unknown amount of time.

Xenos instinctively opened his eyes. The bright light was a bit dazzling. After his eyes adjusted, he saw an endless grassland under the blue sky.

A gentle breeze blew, stirring up the green grass. In the distance, flocks of white sheep grazed leisurely. Xenos felt refreshed and cleaned when watching this peaceful and serene scene.

“Fengqing, it is so comfortable here.”

Xenos stood facing the wind and felt as if all the gloom had been blown away.

Xu Fengqing sighed with relief when seeing how much he liked it.

He knew that Xenos had psychological problems and severe insomnia. There were many reasons for insomnia, but from the description of the little white snake, it seemed to be post-traumatic stress disorder.

Looking back on Xenos’ upbringing, he spent almost half of his life in war and experienced the four darkest years. It was normal for him to have psychological problems.

All he could do now was stay by Xenos’ side and help him slowly emerge from the shadows.

Judging from what happened these past two nights, his companionship must be very important to Xenos.

After thinking this, he took Xenos’ hand and strolled through the grassland, feeling the wind, the scent of the grass, and the magnificence and vastness of the grassland.

Finally, at Xenos’ suggestion, they lay down together on the grass, gazing at the blue sky and white clouds. They enjoyed this peaceful and leisurely moment.

“Ah Xe…”

Xu Fengqing turned his head, about to say something. Then he saw Xenos holding his arm, his light-colored eyelashes drooping. Xenos had fallen asleep at some point.

He quieted down, slightly raised his head and gently kissed Xeno’s forehead with tenderness.
