Chapter 194 - 194 - Boring Brown

Long hugged Xia close to his chest. "Hong Lian...he was cheated into loving Wei Long," he whispered finally.

"What! What do you mean?"

"My ancestor, Wei Long fell in love with Hong Lian at first sight, but the demon hated the heavenly prince. So...my ancestor...he created a ring with his own spine to keep him close. If they went apart by a few feet, Wei Long's hand would get swollen and he would lose his hand if it's not treated with a kiss..... all in all Hong Lian was cheated into loving him," Long whispered with a frown.

"So you cheated me.....into love you," Xia said with a playful smirk.

"What did you say? I did not cheat you into doing anything," Long whispered with a confused frown. He did not expect Xia to ask about this.

Xia tapped his forehead lightly. "Silly fellow, you were Wei long in your past birth."

"What! No, I was not," Long strongly objected to his reply. He still did not believe that it was possible. He scoffed and patted Xia's back. "Darling, I was definitely not a manipulative bastard like him," he whispered in disbelief.

"Ask Bao then," Xia challenged him verbally.

For which Long accepted it and rushed out the room. "hey Bao, hey... where are you?" he dashed into the hallway and went to the direction the demon ran away. "Bao, I need to ask you something, where are you?"

Xia pinched his ears and pulled him down to his height. "Why are you shouting so loudly early in the morning?"

"Oww, baby, you were the one who challenged me to ask him?"

"Yes, but not right away," xia slightly smacked his shoulders and pulled him away.

Right then the demon walked out, white hair dripping wet. "What are you shouting for, you little runt?"

"Hey Bao, tell me, was I Wei Long?" Long shouted as he was being dragged away by his lover.

Bao tsked softly and wrung his hair with a clean towel. "Yeah, what about that?"

Xia paused and pulled the little dragon close to Bao. "See, I told you so. You are Wei long,"

Long was shocked still he glanced down at his lover and pouted, "Then I was the one who manipulated you?"

The demon, who did not understand what was going on, glanced at both of them with a frown. "Who manipulated who? What's going on? Why are you guys creating a racket so early in the morning?" Bao said with a threatening glare.

But his glare was completely ignored by the oblivious pair.

"Yeah it was you, no one else," xia said, pointing a finger at Long.

Long frowned for a while, then his frown morphed into a wide smile. "Then it's okay," he whispered cheerfully, holding him close.

Xia pushed his groping hands away with a pout. "How is that okay, huh?"

"Because it's me. I would never hurt you," Long whispered with a soft smile. He cupped his face and caressed his cheeks with his thumb. "You are my treasure after all,"

Xia face blew up pin a bright red flush. He hid his face with his sleeve and whispered, "Yeah right, you would rather hurt yourself,"

"Anything to get you in my life. I would repeat my ancestors' stupid action if I had to," Long added with a loving smirk.

Watching by the sidelines, Bao gritted his teeth. "Yaa, stupid Long, what do you want? What is that about manipulating my master? And why are you guys talking about that swine Wei Long,"

Xia wanted to explain, but it was a long story. "This...he is Wei Long right? He just wanted conformation,"

"Yeah, he is, so what? I don't want to talk about that guy, master," the demon said, throwing a dirty glare at Long.

Long grinned provocatively and pulled his lover closer. 'Wait, if this guy knew about what Wei Long's past actions he would try to separate us again,' he thought as he frowned.

Before Xia could explain He said, "I was just saying, that Wei Long and Hong Lian were so much in love that their love continued to this birth as well."

Bao glanced at him sceptically. "hmmm, I don't believe in such nonsense."

"Then don't, we both are leaving now, bye," Long lifted his lover by his butt and left the room, leaving a disgruntled demon behind.

"Why do they even bother to find me, darn, I keep getting left behind," Bao grumbled and went ahead with his hair dye process.

His butler had already mixed and prepared the pink dye for him near the mirror. As he was about to colour his hair, a small thought kept bugging his mind. After listening to the stupid dragon that morning, he did not feel that much disgusted with his red hair. 'And.... my son, if we both have same hair colour won't he be happy. Even his mother might see the similarities,' he thought as his lips rose in a small smile. "I need red dye....no I still don't feel that comfortable with it yet, why don't you get me brown dye." He shouted enthusiastically to his butler.

After a moment of hesitation, the butler nodded. "Yes master, please specify the shade, I will prepare accordingly."

Bao pouted and peered at him peculiarly. "get me some brown, I don't care for the shade," he shrugged left with his bleached white hair. Soon his trusted butler had prepared the necessary shade for him. Bao dyed his hair for the approximate time and washed it.

Bao stood in front of the foggy mirror in the bathroom and took a deep breath. "I have a new identity now. I'm not a red aired fox, or a pink-haired businessman. I am a dull brown haired father," he whispered as he gazed at his foggy reflection. It made his heart palpitations weirdly. "I am a father and my son doesn't hate me! I can't believe it. This is all like a dream come true," he whispered to his reflection that was tearing up.

Wiping his unshed tears, he rushed over to his master. His master Xia was like a lucky charm. Every time something good happened in his life he is always there. And he wanted to share his newfound identity with him.

The Joyful demon rushed over to his master.

But he stood out the door, hesitating. Last night his master was .....'ahem,'....quite loud with his lover. 'What if he is intimate with him now as well? Would I be disturbing them?' he thought as he pranced in front of the door.

His footsteps were light, yet the hardwood floor vibrated a little from his movement. Sensing this moment, Long became vigilant. "Baby, wait for a minute. I think there is a rat here," he kissed his forehead.

Xia nodded cutely and chomped on his now cold scrambled eggs.

Long morphed his fire into a sword. He swiftly rushed over to the door and opened it a slither. "who?"

But there was no answer but a hurried footstep.

Startled, Long slashed his sword at the door. The door split open, revealing a frowning demon.

"What are you doing running about suspiciously in front of the door," Long whispered, lowering his sword.

"Yaaa, you could have hurt someone, put down that toy before I snap it in half," Bao shouted, plucking the fiery sword out of his hand. Just as the sword touched his skin, it sizzled and went out as smoke. "I am here to see my master,"

"Oh, he is eating, don't disturb him. He has had a tiresome night," Long added, raising a provocative brow.

Gritting his teeth, Bao nodded. "I KNOW! The entire house knows, now move," he pushed past him and walked into the bedroom. "Master! Master?"

"Hmm, here," Xia waved his hands at him, fork still in hand.

"Master, how do you like my hair," Bao cheerfully shouted as he walked closer. "Do I look at least a little similar to my son now?"

Xia peered at his brown hair and nodded. "Hmm you do. But how do you change your hair colour, huh? First it was pink, and then it was red. Today also it was white, now it's brown. Is it a spell can you teach me?"

"Master, it's called a hair dye. You have to fist strip off the colour off your hair then you have to apply colour to it," Bao explained with a slight blush. He then noticed his mater holding an empty cup firmly in his hands. "Do you want more coffee? I have new morocco brew specially exported,"

Xia noticed where was looking. "That mild drink...is it called ca—fee? It tastes heavenly,"

"Yes, master, humans drink it every morning to revitalise their lost energy," Bao whispered with a proud smile. He felt happy that he was the one who was explaining all these new novel things to his master. He threw a hump at the dragon and continued explaining many things humans have created in this realm.

Long grumbled loudly and plopped next to his lover. He too listened to all ten novel stories in awe.. It seems like this realm was more advance and unlike their realm, humans were more powerful than any cultivator.
