It was getting late. Lin An knocked on the door but no one responded. After pushing the door and entering, he found that Xi Ning fell asleep on his bed, and he didn’t even take off his cloak.
Lin An half-squatted by the bed and whispered, “Your Highness?”
Xi Ning opened his heavy eyelids, rubbed his eyes and sat up, “What’s wrong?”
He didn’t feel anything when drinking the fruit wine, but after he finished eating, the wine kicked in. Now when he is looking at Lin An, there seems to be two figure in front of him.
Lin An said softly, “Take off your coat and go to sleep.”
Xi Ning got out of bed and stretched out his arm to him naturally, motioning him to take it off.
His hood fell off, and the silver hair scattered on the black fabric had a clear contrast. Lin An approached a little and didn’t help Xi Ning undress, “Did you also drink the wine?”
Xi Ning nodded, “I only drink a little, it’s sweet.”
Sure enough, his face was a little red, his lips were ruddy, and his green pupils seemed to be a little darker than they looked during the day. Lin An looked at it for a while and said, “Then Your Highness, can you take it off yourself?”
Xi Ning stretched out his hand for a long time, and he was getting impatient. Hearing this, he pressed down the corners of his lips and pounced forward to hug Lin An, and said in a muffled voice, “You don’t like me anymore……”
His voice was too low, and his face was buried in the clothes in front of Lin An. Lin An couldn’t hear it clearly, he grabbed Xi Ning’s arm to help him stand, “What?”
Xi Ning tilted his head to look at him, and suddenly reached out and pushed off Lin An’s mask.
The hard mask fell on the ground and made a clack sound, and the half face where the blue and black marks intersect was very hideous under the light.
Lin An stood still, looking at Xi Ning calmly. He saw Xi Ning frown and broke free from his hand.
He thought Xi Ning was frightened, and was about to bend over to pick up the mask, but he was suddenly hugged by Xi Ning who leapt himself into him.
Xi Ning hugged Lin An’s neck tightly, his eyes seemed to be swirling with water, he gently touched Lin An’s right cheek, and said with an aggrieved tone, “Is it very painful? Don’t be afraid, I will definitely cure you……”
It doesn’t matter if his face can’t be cured, Xi Ning won’t despise him at all. Lin An wants to say that his face doesn’t hurt at all, and it can’t be cured.
He put his arms around Xi Ning’s waist to prevent him from falling. He smelled the fruit wine and the unique fragrance of grass and trees on the tip of his nose, and his words turned into, “Okay.”
Lin An has never been so close to anyone before, let alone a beautiful elf. The other person’s
soft body is in his arms, which is a very unexplainable feeling. After waiting for a while, he pushed Xi Ning away again, “Go to sleep, Your Highness.”
Xi Ning stretched out his hand, “Help me undress.”
This time, Lin An obediently untied the belt of his cloak for him, put the hood on the chair, and took off Xi Ning’s robe.
He was hesitating whether to get some water to wipe Xi Ning’s face, but Xi Ning had already returned to the bed himself, kicked off his shoes and lay down and fell asleep in just a second.
So Lin An used a cleaning spell on Xi Ning, covered him with a quilt, turned off the lights in the room, and prepared to go back to his bunk to rest.
When the room was plunged into darkness, Lin An caught a glimpse of an abnormal red light on Xi Ning’s face. He leaned in and looked at it for a while, then used a spell to draw out a cloud of smoke from Xi Ning’s body.
This cloud of smoke was trapped in Lin An’s hands, and the gray aura blocked its shrill screams. Lin An clenched the palm of his hand and crushed the cloud of smoke.
This is the strange thing he noticed when he went upstairs. It was a low-level parasitic succubus, which often hid in wine and when it was drunk by others, it would sucked the blood of the other party.
This thing is very smart. It is usually spread evenly in the wine and the blood it sucks each time is not much, so it is extremely difficult to be discovered. After a night, it will quietly leave, it also won’t have much impact on the victim’s body.
Xi Ning probably didn’t drink much, there was only a little in his body, and he had already killed it just now.
Lin An returned to the bunk. Before he lay down, he recalled that many people drank wine tonight, and the dwarves drank the most.
He pulled the quilt, turned to look at Xi Ning who was sleeping, and slowly closed his eyes.
