Chapter 133 - 133 - Matted Hair

After sorting out all the herbs in his ring, Xia gazed back at his lover. Just looking at him made his face heat up in anticipation for the upcoming 'ahem' bath.

Worse was that little dragon was always sticking to him. Presently the sticky guy was sticking to his back with a wide smirk on his face. "Bath time~" he said in glee.

'This guy is becoming more shameless day by day,' Xia thought. He flushed red in expectation, but he hid his face with his sleeve. "Jinjue....we are close to Suikal. let's take Felia out and settle her down in an inn," he whispered.

Giving a worried glance at her master, Jinjue agreed. This space was filled with spiritual energy. One day of cultivation here was equal to a year of cultivation. This is a precious opportunity for many. But Jinjue felt awkward. It was not good to outstay young master Xia's grace like this.

Taking another look at her, Xia summoned them all out of the pearl space. they appeared near the familiar river bank.

"Suikal is north this way. It's just an hour away," Xia Che said with anticipated. After reaching Suikal, he would be able to find his mother. Even if she was not there, some clues can be found.

Hugging him from behind, Long rained him with soft kisses to cheeks. "We can definitely find her," he whispered.

Standing beside them, Jinjue gulped. 'Oh god, we are in so much trouble,'

previously, lovesick Felia had lied that she had seen young master Xia's lover in Suikal. it was the only reason they travelled together.

'Should I tell them the truth?' she contemplated biting her nails.

"you should not bite your nails. It has a lot of germs," Xia said to her suddenly.

This snapped her out of her reverie.  'I have to tell him.' Jinjue nodded. "young master Xia I.."

"Xia, comb my hair~" Long Aotian suddenly shouted and kissed Xia's lips.

"Stupid little snake, why are you biting me again ah,?" Xia shouted and pushed his face away. he could see matted hair on his lover's head. "Fine, I will help you comb it," he whispered with a blush.

He summoned a small wooden comb and made him sit on the grass. he started brushing his matted mane. he found many miscellaneous items in his hair. there was even a small spirit crystal stuck in it. "How did you get so much junk in your hair," Xia whispered as he pulled out a dried out leaf.

After combing down for a long time, he pulled out many branches, leaves, and few spirit crystals. after which he applied some castor oil to his hair and slicked it up. he pulled it into a bun and inserted a bun pin in it.

"Beautiful," Long whispered.

Only afterbeatly tying the hair did Xia look up. his sight met the stunned Jinjue. He gazed at the her and whispered, "you were saying something?"

Stunned, Jinjue watched their display of affection with a blush. 'maybe I shouldn't interrupt them now,' she gulped again and she shook her head.

Taking a second look, Xia nodded at her. "Oh okay, we'll have dinner in Suikal. I heard there is a famous restaurant there that sells braised pork balls with gravy. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water ah," he whispered, licking the drool dripping from his mouth.

Long pulled his lover down and licked his ears. "I wish to eat someone special," he whispered softly that only his lover could hear.

This made the crayfish blush red. He pushed his big head away. "Keep it low, we can.....do stuff later," he murmured.

The golden dragon had an instant glow on his face. "Yes!! Love," he softly kissed his chubby cheeks.

Xia blushed and let him kiss all he wants. Even after warning him so much, the dragon never had reserve or any kind of control.

"Okay, okay, let go. Why are being so sticky like a baby?" he whispered and patted his head.

After getting settled all three of them rushed to the nearby city of Suikal. they were able to reach their destination only after three hours because the ground was covered in crack. It was all thanks to a naught dragon. Xia threw him a glare.

Long gave him an innocent look and winked at him.

'Silly little snake,' he internally thought as he walked towards an Inn. it was in the city center which was prosperous beyond expectation. There were people from different ethnicity roaming around in the streets.

"This is odd. When did Suikal open up travelers? why are there so many ethnicities here?" Xia whispered in confusion. As per his mother's stories, he had only heard that this city was a little better than Nevada, but it doesn't seem to be the case now.

Jinjue swiftly caught up to him. "They are after the mystical dragon. The two of them fell from the sky are being hunted by many kingdoms," she filled in.

Xia's heart thudded. he held his little snake's hands firmly. 'I will never let anyone hurt him. never,' he thought with resolution.

Likewise, the dragon wound their fingers together. 'I have to protect my beautiful mate with my life,' he swore in his heart.

Soon they found a decent inn and rented two rooms. this time Long took the time to investigate the inn before staying there. this inn was owned and run by a woman of good standing.

Taking the keys, Long stepped very close to the inn keeper. "are there any sound proof rooms?"

The inn keeper took a glance at him and then at beautiful Xia standing in the back. 'oh ho, I see where this is going,' she internally screamed and nodded. She secretly exchanged the keys to an advance room and handed it to Long. "'Enjoy' your stay, sir," she said cheerfully.

Long smirked and nodded. he held his lover's waist and led him to their room.

All the while, the innkeeper woman was watching with a small blush on her face.

Weirdly, she felt like these two people were familiar.

She kept pondering as she walked back to her resting room. On top of her bed hung a huge portrait of two men passionately kissing each other. One of them even had a piece of chicken leg in his hands.

It was Xia Che and Long's famous chicken leg painting.
