Chapter 130 - 130 - Jump In The River?

Xia Che panted as he laid on the soft bed. His chest felt constricted by the heavy weight that laid on his chest.

"Aotian, can you get down? You're too heavy," he mumbled at the calmly sleeping black dragon.

Long Aoatin shook his head and burrowed into his chest. "No~ I don't want to.... Xia~" he whispered with a pitiful look. His beautiful eyes filled with tears and his thin lips pouted.

A hand closed his watery eyes.

"Don't act pitiful, ah. you ate me for two days. TWO DAYS....." Xia che shouted and pushed his handsome face away. His entire body hurts from his little dragon's actions.

Xia che gazed down at with his eyes narrowed. Two days....Just two days ago that mysterious man named Prince Gua offended the little dragon, because Long thought that man had kidnapped him. But it was a misunderstanding. It blew up into a full on war. But somehow it ended with the man running away.

But what happened after that.....remembering that made him blush.

Day before yesterday:

Even after that Kirin left Long was still very stiff.

Xia hugged a raging Long. His golden dragon's body was already changing. His snout was getting longer, making his huge nostrils to stand out. There were even whiskeres popping out, which he had never seen before.

"Long....."

He didn't even take a glance at him.

"Aotian... baby, talk to me. I'm safe, okay, so calm down. Being so angry is bad for your health," Xia whispered, looping their hands together.

Only after seconds Long Aotian turned his way.

"Xia?"

Slowly Long's face started changing back. His human features were coming out. But his spiritual energy was till running amok.

"Yes baby," Xia cupped his changing face. "I'm safe, got it. Aotian~ stupid Aotian~" he softly kissed his nose and then his eyebrow and his eyes.

Long grabbed his waist and pushed him a little back. He cupped his face and peered down at him. "You are really not hurt?" he whispered.

"No, I'm not," Xia softly caressed his cheeks.

Long hugged him tight and snuggled against his neck. "Thank god," he whispered. 

Guilt ate through his mind. All this happened because he left his lover behind. it was a great relief that his lover was safe. Long Aotian breathed in his Xia's tantalizing scent.

"I almost lost you," he whispered.

Xia softly patted his back in efforts to calm his raging emotions. "Nothing matters. just think of what is in front of you....just think of me and you," he whispered in a soothing voice.

After some hesitation, the golden dragon's stiff shoulders loosened up.

"There, there, baby, it's okay. I'm here for you," Xia caressed his lover's hip length tress. he combed his fingers in his silky hair, but his fingers got stuck in the middle. "its tangled," he murmured.

Long pulled back and pouted. "Then comb it for me," he said.

Xia chuckled and agreed. "First let's get out of this....crater," he said awkwardly gazing around.

Gripping Xia's hips, Long jumped out the huge pit they were standing in.

The final blast between him and that Kirin created a huge crater. The ground had many cracks on it. Even the nearby trees were either shattered or uprooted.

Xia gazed around and sighed. "We have caused a lot of trouble." he summoned a small cotton pouch from his ring. He scattered its contents on the ground and prayed.

Long waited patiently to finish his prayer before whispering, "what did you scatter?"

Sighing, Xia whispered that it was seeds. His mother had taught him a saying that If you destroy one tree, then you have to plant trees.

Taking one last glance, Xia and Long walked away. This place created a lot of memories for them. It was the place where they both confirmed their love.

After walking for a while, they found a weak-looking woman sobbing next to a river. Her back was facing them so they were not able to make out her face. Lifting one of her foot she stood on one foot. It was as if she was ready to jump in any second.

"Wait!" Xia shouted and rushed over to her. The woman noticed him and inched closer to the river. "Death is not the answer. Please don't jump," he whispered.

The woman slowly turned back. It was actually someone he was very familiar with. It was his travel companion, Felia's maid.

"Felia's maid? Why are you trying to kill yourself?" Xia whispered in shock. As far as he knew, this maid was always mentally strong. it was not like her to try to kill herself.

"Young master.....I've failed my lady. I've...lost her," she sobbed. And she stepped forward to the river.

In all the fuss they forgot to send information to the maid about her master's recovery. Xia slapped his forehead and shouted, "No, she is alive and well. She is in my space right now,"

The maid sobbed harder. "You are lying," she cried.

"But I'm not. I found the herb and gave her the antidote pill. she is totally fine now. I can summon her now, but she is currently resting... wait I can take you inside so please step back from there," Xia said holding his space pearl.

Jinjue gazed at his genuine expression. "Truly?"

"Truly. I swear on my cultivation I'm telling you the truth," Xia swore.

This assured her a little. Jinjue wiped her snot nose and walked over to them. "Can I see my lady?"

"Yes, definitely," Xia said. he held her hand and Long wound another one of his hands.

Xia activated the space pearl. it shine softly and took them all inside the space.

Together they appeared in the blue jewel encrusted room. A loud shout greeted them. "My dear student, you are back..." the old soul shouted as he saw Xia. but as soon as he spotted Long with him, his voice diminished.

"Master!" Xia shouted and ran over to him.

But Long held his lover back and glared at the old soul.  "who is the master here, huh?"
