Chapter 180 - 180 - Forgiveness

Silence prevailed in the car throughout the remaining ride. It was quite pleasant to be honest, but the anxious dragon did not enjoy it much. He kept trying to put his head out and sniff out his lover. And the demon had to literally restrain him to his seat.

The butler held his shoulder down and growled at him. "Darn it, if you keep doing that I will toss you out of this car right now. I told you Master Xia is in Gg mall, right? I am taking you there why do you keep sniffing like a dog?"

"I—I just want to find him with my own effort," he mumbled with a pout. Suddenly a faint scent of Xia flowed inside the car. He shrugged the demon's hands off of his shoulders and put his head out, but the window mysteriously closed, making him stuck with his head out. "Unhand me, you demon. I need to find xia,"

"Yeah, right. We are already here," The butler drove into the mall's parking and stepped out. "Come out, your lover is here," he shouted and threw open the car door.

Long Jumped out and ran around sniffing his residual scent but the weird fragrance always got in the way. "Where where, I don't see him anywhere. Xia~ Xia baby, I'm sorry," he ran around the empty parking lot, shouting Xia's name like a maniac.

The butler slapped his forehead. He could not handle this idiocy anymore. "Darn, I hope master Bao won't kill him for his idiocy," he mumbled, shaking his head. "ya, dragon, there are probably in the second floor clothing store."

"How do you get there," Long whispered anxiously.

"Lift," The butler gestured to the closed lift. But the dragon did not notice this.

Long nodded and stepped closer. He suddenly gripped him below his knees and lifted him up "is that okay, now take me to Xia,"

The butler mentally slapped him multiple times. In reality, he gritted his teeth and clawed his shoulders. A strong killing intent flowed out of his eyes as he glares at the dragon molesting him. "yaa, you stupid dragon let me down or ill chop your head myself,"

"But you told me to lift," Long whispered with an innocent look.

"I said 'lift' as in 'elevator,' not to literally lift me." The butler shouted and slapped him on his head. He could not tolerate this man child anymore. It was dealing with a stupid three-year-old. 'Ah, master Xia, why did you have to love this man.' He internally cried.

Long threw him down and wiped his hands on his pant like he touched something disgusting.

This infuriated the demon Butler even more. He clenched his fist and chanted in heart to control his anger.

"What is an elevator? Lift, ahh, why are talking in weird terms. I don't understand you at all," Long mumbled with a soft cough. Truth be told, he did not like touching or being touched by others, except his darling xia. To know the fact that this man tricked him to lift him up made him a little embarrassed.

The butler clenched his teeth and dragged him over to the lift himself. The lift arrived swiftly, and he threw the dragon inside. "This is a lift," he said and pressed the second floor button.

The lift jerked softly and moved up.

Long clenched onto eth railing on the side and glanced around the weird contraption. "This world is more complicated than I expected,"

They both got down at the second floor and walked around. "Where is xia?"

"Where is your patience? I'll call master Bao," butler whispered and called him up. But the line was busy. "It seems they are out of coverage area, we shall.....ah, where is he?" while he was making the call the dragon had already run off somewhere. "Why am I babysitting him? Darn it," he mumbled.

Long ran around the huge mall. It was completely empty, but he was still not able to get a whiff of Xia scent because of that nauseating fragrance. "this thing Chanel fragrance, is a potent poison. Darn it. XIA~ Xia darling where are you?"

His voice echoed around the empty space.

Xia walked out of a store. The yellow turtle neck was slightly tight around his neck so he kept fussing at it and blue pants they call 'Slacks' was tight around his JJ. 'How do people even walk in these,' he thought adjusting his balls subtly. Right at the moment, he heard a familiar voice calling to him. "Huh, Long?" a soft voice whispered from nearby.

Long frantically glanced around, trying to find at least his lover's shadow. He saw his little crayfish walk out of a store dressed completely differently. The shirt was loosely fit around his top, clearly enhancing his slender waist and his pants....they hugged his thigh snugly. His hair, tied up in a delicate looking braid, hung on his back.

The dragon was stunned by the sight. 'Sexy....he looks so sexy,' A weird heat flowed out of nose suddenly, blood dripped down to his mouth. Long swiftly licked it away and hid his face with his sleeve.

Xia saw this, and his face heated up as well. The clear lust in his eyes made him heated as well, but remembering their argument, his heart cooled down. "Pervert," Xia whispered with a pout. Yet still his face was apple red.

"its...it's not what it looks like. I think my body is too heated," Long tried explaining, but his huge bulge between his legs told another story.

Xia shook his head and was having none of it. He snapped his head to the side, refusing to even meet his gaze. "All you know is getting hard. Why am I even talking to you? We are cross. I will talk to you until you realise your mistake," Xia shouted and ran back into the store.

Before he could run farther, Long gripped his hand and pulled him to a strong back hug.

"What do you think you are doing, huh? I am still very angry with you, let go," Xia struggled a little. The heat from his body gave the familiar comfort he craved, but gazing at his bandaged hand he started struggling more. 'He hates demon right, and then if he finds out he will hate me too. Call me evil too. I Don't want to hear that. I—I think it will kill me slowly.' tears burned his eyes, but he refused to shed them.

Long held him tight and refuse to let go, because he knew, he knew, that if he let go his lover might run off somewhere where he can't find him. "I was wrong. I was wrong about the demons. Xia...... I love you. Regardless of what your race is. I don't care about anything else; my love for you would not change even if you are just a normal crayfish."

Xia froze. He turned back and gazed into his eyes. "what.... do you know?

"Everything," Long whispered and softly kissed the tear that was slipping down his lover's cheeks. "Everything, I'm sorry for being so hateful. Even the fact that you are a demon would not affect my love for you....so please...please forgive me," he begged.

Xia held his arms softly and leaned against him. "So what if I was a normal crayfish, would you have loved me, no, you would have probably cooked me and eaten me?,"

Long chuckled. He softly kissed his nape and whispered, "probably. I bet you would be delicious as heck."

"See, you really are a pervert," Xia mumbled. His lips curled and the tears he had been holding back rushed down like a stream. 'I though.....he would hate me..but he loves me. He loves ME!' he chuckled and kissed his muscular arms.

Long chuckled as well and subtly wiped his own tears away. To think he almost lost his lover due to his stupid hatred made him feel so sick to the stomach. "I just love you so much, so don't be angry with me. Next time we have an altercation, don't storm away. Stay and make me understand."

Xia nodded, turned around and hugged him back. His warmth was what he craved all day. Even though he enjoyed his 'shopping' deep in his heart, he missed the dragon a lot. "Sorry for worrying you," he whispered. "and don't hate all demons,"

"I won't, love," Long whispered and hugged him tighter.

Bao Hu and the demon butler watched this from the distance and grimaced. "master, this stupid dragon, I still don't like him,"

"I don't like him either. But...he is considerably good compared to the dragons ten thousand years ago," he whispered thoughtfully.

"Maybe because times changed....and people are becoming more accepting of us demons." The butler whispered.

Bao Hu frowned, though. "But he is right as well, not all demons are good. Especially them,"

"you mean...'THEY'. But I thought,"

"THEY are back and their first target is our master's treasures, especially his heavenly chain mail glove,"
