The door opened a crack, and it was so dark that he couldn’t see anything inside, exuding a gloomy atmosphere. Xi Ning was inexplicably scared.

Lin An never talked about his past. Xi Ning didn’t know how long he hadn’t been back. Just looking at the appearance of this door and the tower, it should be quite a few years.

No one has lived here for so long, it is unsure what it will look like inside. Xi Ning flinched a bit, but he promised Lin An to go back to the magic tower with him.

Lin An sensed Xi Ning’s emotions, lowered his eyes and asked, “Are you afraid?”

Xi Ning replied truthfully, “A little bit.”

Lin An thought that he was afraid of himself, but he didn’t know what to do to hear him being so straightforward, he silently stroked Xi Ning’s hair, holding his hand and pushed the door open.

Xi Ning followed him in, it was pitch black inside. The two of them walked a few steps in, and the door suddenly closed automatically, making a slight sound.

Lin An groped around the wall, pressed a switch, and the wall lamps on the wall lit up one by one, and finally the largest lamp above the hall also lit up.

He took Xi Ning to walk forward for a while, took off their cloaks and hung them on a shelf at one side, after Xi Ning saw the scene in front of him clearly, he eyes were wide open.

This is the first floor. It is arranged like a hall for receiving guests. The furniture such as sofas, coffee tables, etc. is a complete set, and they are as clean as new, as if someone has been cleaning them all the time.

There is even a fireplace on the inside. The metal-colored firewood they piled up after they came in ignited by themselves. The weather is still not cold, so Lin An turned off the fireplace first.

Xi Ning looked around curiously. The leather of the couch was delicate and smooth, and when he sat down, he sank half of it into it.

Lin An came over and took off the mask and threw it on the coffee table casually, bent over Xi Ning to kiss him, pinched his waist with one hand, and grabbed his wrist with the other to rub the inner skin.

Xi Ning gasped with difficulty, Lin An moved down his lips, and the collar of his shirt was pulled open a little, Xi Ning felt his collarbone was lightly bitten.

He blushed and pushed Lin An away, “It itches.”

Lin An raised his head, hooked Xi Ning’s chin and kissed again, with deep emotions in his eyes, “You are mine now……”

There was some deviation from his original idea. He originally planned to forcefully take Xi Ning away, but in the end it was almost like Xi Ning who followed him back on his own initiative.

However the result is still the same, he has been wandering outside for many years, this tower is the place that really belongs to him, just like a wild beast has its own territory in the forest, this is his territory.

Xi Ning was the prey who took the initiative to come to him, and it is impossible for him to escape from here again.

Lin An’s palm rubbed against Xi Ning’s back a few times. Xi Ning thought he wanted to do something right now, and shyly hooked Lin An’s neck, but Lin An just hugged him and turned over, letting him lie on his back.

“Do you want to go up there and have a look?”

Lin An’s voice was low. He could see that Xi Ning was quite satisfied with this place, and wanted to take him to another place to get familiar with it.

Xi Ning buried his face in Lin An’s neck and rubbed it like a kitten. After a while, he raised his head, “Okay.”

There is a small teleportation magic circle on every floor here, and you can quickly go to the floor you want to go to. Lin An wanted to show Xi Ning around, so he chose to walk up using stairs.

The entrance of the stairs is at the end of the other side of the hall. After they left this side, the lights in the hall automatically went out, and the lights on the side of the stairs were turned on.

The handrails are made of unknown red wood, which feels smooth and slightly cool to the touch. Lin An led Xi Ning up slowly. There are study rooms, storage rooms, weapon rooms, etc. on the top, and there is even a pharmacy room inside. It was full of bottles, cans, and various materials, and Xi Ning didn’t dare to touch it. After a few glances, he closed the door.

In the end, they went to the bedroom. Compared with the hall, the arrangement in the bedroom was much simpler. There was only a bed covered with gray sheets, and there was no dust at all.

Xi Ning was tired from all the walking, so he lay down beside the bed and wanted to rest for a while. Lin An takes out the tea sets and tea leaves in the cabinet, and boils some water to make tea.

This bedroom did not belong to him at the beginning. After he could sleep here, he left the ghost forest not long after. In the entire tower, this is the only place he is least familiar with. For a long time, he was ordered not to approach this bedroom. Every night, he can only sleep in the damp and cold basement.

Xi Ning lay down for a while and got up to drink tea, went to the window and opened it to see the scenery outside, this seemed to be the highest floor, when looking down from the window, Xi Ning felt his heartbeat start racing and a bit dizzy, Lin An came over and hug him behind, “Be careful.”

Xi Ning quickly retracted his head. He also found that the walls outside the magic tower had become tidy, and all the dry grass that he saw when he entered had disappeared.

He looked into the distance, the forest was still the same, and the places farther away were blocked by layers of clouds and fog, making it hard to see clearly.

Seeing him looking outside, Lin An said, “There is an attic upstairs. I remember there is a telescope in it.”

The telescope was made with several magic circles. He used to go to the attic every day, but the things he saw through the telescope were always the same, so he gradually lost interest.

Lin An frowned slightly as he remembered his past.

If they live here for a longer time, will Xi Ning be the same as he was in the past, and feel bored after a while.

Of course Xi Ning wanted to go, turned his head and said excitedly, “Is it upstairs? I want to go and see.”

Lin An quickly came back to his senses, led him to the uppermost attic, pushed open the wooden door and walked in.
