Xia and long watched the demon sadly glance at him. Even the crayfish was not able to help him in this regard. It was the matter of heart, after all. He silently watched the demon fox spill agonizing tears. "I am not able to reciprocate your feelings, Bao. I—I love Aotian and I will only love him." he silently patted the demon's trebling knees. "You will meet someone wonderful and fall in love, imp sure of it."
Bao wiped his tears away and nodded. "Emmm, I will master. I want the same kind of love you share... I want that unconditional love too." He whispered pitifully.
Xia did not know how to answer to this. He just whispered that he forgave him for his lies and that he thought of him as a trusted friend which made the demon fox smirk widely.
Watching his master try so hard, the demon chuckled. "I know master, I know. You don't have to try so hard. I—I have indeed moved on. But I can tell that my feelings for you have diminished, but they have dulled over this past few weeks."
Xia nodded with a small smile.
"believe me, I have. I have moved on. In fact, I'm presently trying to coax Sheng sheng's mother into accepting me," Bao added with a wide smirk.
"Really! That's great news!" Xia finally smiled cheerfully. "I am very happy for you. I hope you will get your wife soon,"
Hearing this butler suddenly clenched his fists.
Long hugged Xia from behind and added, "I reluctantly give my blessing to you to,"
Bao was more than happy that his master had excused his traitorous behaviour. He happily rushed over to the parking lot and brought over his Land rover. "Master, get in. I will get you back home this instant," he shouted, opening the windows.
Xia and Long hopped into the back seat and the butler in the front.
Bao set the destination in his GPS, which I turn replied. "Destination set for S-park,"
The ride back was filled with comfortable silence. Xia leaned against Long's shoulders and softly sighed. "Aotian, we are finally going home," he whispered softly next to his ear.
"Hmm, we are," Long patted his chubby cheeks. Weeks of staying here had made his lover gain a little meat on his body. He softly pinched his cheeks and kissed his lips.
"Ow, Long don't," Xia moaned softly with a blush.
"Yes, long don't even," The butler glared at the pair from the front seat.
Long let go of his lover's lisp and pulled him on his lap and tied them safely with that safely strap. Only after which he glared at the butler threateningly. "What do you have against me? Always blocking me when it's getting heated,"
The butler lost his cool at this remark. He fully turned behind with a creepy smirk. "Long Daotian, did you forget you are a prince? Always frolicking in public, do you want us to lose our heads," he shouted.
"Lose whose heads. I'm not going to kill anyone," Long replied with his eyes narrowed.
"You won't but your heavenly realm's laws states so. Anyone who has witnessed their royal family's mating ceremony is to be punished by beheading." The butler added gravely. He glanced at his master worriedly and whispered, "'this stupid dragon, he thinks he could forget all his laws as soon as he left heaven,"
Aotian paused. He glanced down at his lover and then at the two sitting in front of them. "Oh, then don't tell anyone that you witness anything," he calmly added.
"Aotian how shameless can you be," the butler raged. He clenched onto his seat belt, wishing he could just beat the crap out of this unruly brat. "Ahem" Bao coughed, patting his clenched fist. Only after that did the demon butler calm down.
"I can be shameless as I want. If you don't like us showing affection, then why do you keep peeping at us, huh? Who is the perverted one here?" Long said, challengingly gazed at him whilst nuzzling against his lover's neck. Xia softly punched his shoulders for him, gesturing him to stop, but the dragon just gave him a dazzling smirk.
"You really are shameless," Xia whispered so softly, like a mosquito's whisper. He looped his hands around him and snuggle das well. 'Eh, either way. I am shameless as well,' he thought, kissing the naughty dragon's ears.
With his mouth agape, the butler finally turned back to towards the road. "Master, I can't handle them any longer. My single blood is boiling please marry me off to someone," he said glancing eagerly at his master Bao.
For a second the car veered off of the tracks. Bao watched his butler with his eyes wide open. "bu—tler is that you talking, really oh my god, I thought you would end up being a spinster all your life,"
"Master, it's called a eunuch, not a spinster." The butler corrected him with a wooden look.
Bao clenched the steering wheel tightly. "Either way, looks like your spring is here. Waa, this is a big duty. I have to find a wife for you," he tried to say it cheerfully, but it came out slightly bitter. Taking his hand off the wheel, he patted his shoulders. "I will do a good job at finding you a partner," he said strangely gripping his shoulders.
The butler slightly blushed and glanced at him. "Thank you master," he mumbled to himself gazing at his master's hand. His blush only lasted for a second, after which he had the same impassive expression on his face.
From behind, Long noticed this small exchange. He tapped his lover's ass and whispered, "Don't you think that this fox and this butler are too close,"
Xia glanced at the two and shook his head. "How is that possible? Bao said he is going to pursue Sheng sheng's mother."
But still the dragon sceptically glanced at the pair of demons. "Something is fishy about them," he couldn't place his finger on it but their relation did not seem like simple master and servant relationship. "Hey are you both sleeping together," he said out loud.
The car suddenly took a sharp turn uncontrollably and veered into the next tract. The cars behind honked loudly, but even so they were not able to stop their car on time. The car crashed right in the taillights of the land rover making it jerk forward violently. Long hugged Xia tightly and gripped onto the handle right above the door.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" he glanced down at pale looking Xia. He softly caressed his cheeks and kissed his frowning eyebrows. "Are you both safe?" He then inquired to the two in the front seat.
The butler nodded dizzily, and Bao did not reply. He silently got out of the car and rushed towards the car behind them.
Bao peeked in. There was only one passenger inside. The lady on the driver's seat had lost conscious and the back of her head was bleeding. The demon swiftly called the ambulance and left them their location of the crash. "Hey you okay," he lifted the lady's limp head slowly and leaned her against the car seat.
When he saw her face, he was more than startled. It was the mother of his child. "Oh lord," he whispered and pried the car door open. He did not move her in case her head injury got worse, but he cut her seat belt so that the ambulance can easily bring her out.
He softly touched the back of her bleeding head. "Wait, I can heal you." he scratched the back of his ring finger to find it empty. "Darn, I left my ring back home.... healing salve. I have some," he whispered to himself and dashed to his car.
"Is anyone hurt?" the butler said slowly getting out of the car. Xia and long followed.
Boa did not reply. He went to the dashboard and opened the compartment. He always carried a small bottle of salve I case of emergencies.
He dashed back to the smashed up car and gently lifted her head to his chest. Popping the cork open, he poured a small amount in his fingers tips and gently applied it to her open wound. He peered at the wound, but it was not showing any sign of getting better. "What is this," he mumbled pouring the bottles content on her bleeding scalp. Even then, her wound was not healing. She was losing too much blood.
"No, no, this can't be," Bao gently lifted her out the car and laid her on the concrete. He tried his best not to move her head so much. Her bleeding did not stop but it was only getting worse.
"Master, master, she is hurt," he cried desperately.
Xia rushed over to him. He took summoned all his healing medicine and pills, yet nothing worked on her. "Her pulse is dropping." He whispered anxiously. He pulled her onto his lap and tried feeding her another pill.
The demon gripped onto his hair and glanced down at her bleeding head. "Can something be done? Master, save her, please!"
"I am trying!" Xia said anxiously. He too did not know why the drug was not working on her. He glanced at his lover for answers.
Long sighed.. "There are some humans who are immune to our spirit medicines and pills. I think she is one of them,"
