209 chapter 20Just after ten minutes, Long walked back to their private room, adjusting his pants. “ahhh, my poor stomach is still upset. Looks like we need to visit a healer,” he mumbled casually.
Xia hid his smile and nodded. “Hmm, let’s go before the sun goes down,” He glanced at the woman apologetically and stood up. “Thank you for spending your precious time with me,” he whispered and handed her a small golden coin.
With trembling hands, she took it from him. “This little lady thanks you,”
Xia nodded at her and dragged a sick-looking Long out the door.
Standing near the doorway, the woman silently wiped her tears away. “Sire, it should I who should thank you. Your generous payment might help free me from this place,” she whispered softly. But someone tightly gripped her shoulders and dragged her in.
Stunned, she glanced behind to find her fellow sister glaring at her.
“What is it, sister begonia? You are hurting me,” she mumbled, shrugging her hands off.
The woman named begonia growled loudly and gripped her neck. “you blabbering bitch, what did you tell them?”
“hmm,.... I don’t understand what you are saying,” she whispered, tilting her head.
.....
Sister flower was thoroughly angered by her response. She fearfully glanced around. Sensing that they were alone, she swiftly dragged her into one of the interior rooms and tied her tightly to the bed.
“Sister...sister, why are you tying me... I will be good. Please don’t hurt me,” she cried “you....because of your silly mistake you are going to be fed to the beast,” she said and struggling against her hold. But begonia had a tight grip on her shoulder.
“Shush, if you hadn’t given us away, they were planning on selling you to the old lecher next door. Be thankful that you are getting a peaceful death,” begonia said and rushed out the room.
“What do you mean? Sister, please untie me!! Please,” but no one heard her pitiful cries. Slowly she cried herself to sleep.
In the middle of the night she heard a small disturbance nearby, which startled her awake. She wiggled around, but she was unable to free herself. A shadowy figure slowly staggered towards her. “Anyone....help! help!” she shouted, but her mouth was closed by a bloody hand.
“shhh, miss, please don’t scream,” a hoarse voice whispered.
The girl fearfully glanced at him. “Please sir, spare me! Spare me!” she cried, pulling at her bindings.
The mysterious man wordlessly sat down on the bed. With his hands outstretched, he reached for her slowly.
“sir! Sir! Please...don’t....don’t hurt me ....I will comply,” she sobbed. But that hands she expected to assault, gently untie her hands.
With trembling hands, she hastily removed her bindings and glanced at him.
“I mean you no harm..I just wish to sleep,” he whispered hoarsely.
The lady froze. She sat on the edge of the bed and peered at the mysterious man. The entire room reeked of blood. It was quite obvious that this man was wounded badly. She hesitantly approached him. “um, sir, do—do you want me to bind your wounds?” she stuttered.
The mysterious man did not respond.
Not getting any reply from him, she let down her guard. She silently sat guard next to him while he slept peacefully. As the sun rose, her eyes started to droop. She leaned against the side and closed her eyes tiredly.
Right at that moment, the door opened with a bang. A few men dressed in golden robes walked in. A young man with a long scar on his face stepped in and pulled the unconscious man down on the bed. “huh? He still did not eat! Didn’t you say that thunder wolfs prefer young woman,” he shouted to the man next to him.
“I—I, that was what the books said.”
“Fuck those books, shove some meet in this beast’s mouth,” he shouted, dragging the unconscious man behind him. This was the first time the lady took a clear look at the man. The man who accompanied her though the night was quite young and handsome with long red hair. His wounds were much more startling than expected. A huge circle was burned into his chest. The wound was oozing blood even now. The golden caped men did not care the least about her. They directly shoved a piece of raw meat into the man’s clenched jaw and dragged him away brutally. The lady gasped softly and shrunk herself to a corner.
From their conversation, she understood that this man was the rumored thunder beast that wrecked havoc all across the eastern towns.
She silently watched them leave the room and close it with a bang. Only then did she let out a breath of relief. “They...they were the members of the golden tribe... I heard they were benevolent but”.... from the way they treated that man she knew that she was completely wrong. “The golden tribe....the rumors and praises were mistaken...did we just invite a monster into our kingdom?” she mumbled and dashed out the room.
Without any delay, she left the gold coin in her room and wrote a letter to thank the establishment for taking care of her. She packed her stuffs swiftly and ran out before anyone could notice her absence.
The lady ran across the streets and small passage way. On the way to the outer gates, she shouldered into someone. Without any apology, she focused on running away.
“Wait!” the man shouted behind her. This man was precisely Xia. He was dressed up as a beggar again and was roaming around collecting information. Last night Long had confirmed that Raijin was held hostage in the brothel and he was protected by hundred sky level cultivators. Even with Long’s powers, they might not be able to defeat them all and get away unscathed. They still did not receive any news about Felia. So today they were on the lookout.
Xia gripped onto her hand and dragged her back. “you are that girl from that brothel, right?”
The girl did not recognise him. She flung his hands away and ran away swiftly.
“What might have happened to her? She was fine yesterday,” Xia mumbled, scratching his already tussled hair.
From the side of a building Long peaked out and whispered, “because you stink,”
Xia glared at him. “Why aren’t you in disguise with me?”
“I don’t know why you are strangely obsessed with dressing up as beggar, but I really do not wish to,” Long said without any remorse.
“Hump, suit yourself. You are prohibited to touch me for another month,” Xia said without looking back.
The poor golden dragon grimaced and swiftly followed after his lover. Last night he was heartlessly thrown out of the room and made to sleep on the small sofa. Even now, his back hurt from it. He leaned closer to Xia and whispered, “waa, you smell so nice. I think my nose was not working a while ago,” he said with a dazzling smile.
“you are still being punished,” the crayfish coolly said and walked away.
The dejected dragon flowed after him.
The entire day Xia roamed around the city. They were able to get Felia’s location successfully. In fact, Felia was actually the princess of this small kingdom. And they also got to know about her failed engagement with the Ameterus prince.
Back in the inn, Xia swiftly removed his disguise. “I knew that she was a princess, but I didn’t know that she was a princess of this kingdom,” Xia mumbled thoughtfully removing the mud from his face. Long helped him wipe his hands clean. “Hmm, I didn’t expect it as well. No wonder she was searching for the dragon,”
“What do you mean?”
“Didn’t you realise? This kingdom has always been terrorised by the nearby savage islands of Ameterus. Maybe she was being forced to marry so as her last hope she must have gone about searching for the dragon.”
“What purpose does that serve? It won’t save her from marriage,” Xia whist whispered, removing his pants.
Licking his lips long peered at his backside. “hmm.....but with the dragon as a price she can marry into the nearby powerful kingdoms and retaliate against Ameterus,” he slowly got up from the chair and pinched his bubble butt.
Xia squeaked and smacked his hands away. “No touching!”
“but~,” Long gripped his thin waist and dragged him close. “How can I resist such a delicacy?” he whispered, biting his blushing ears. He softly jerked his hips, rubbing against his naked back. “Xia~”
Xia softly moaned and leaned against his chest. “You....you are still not allowed to touch,” he mumbled weakly.
“But my hands are not touching you. Only my....” he removed his hands from waist yet his hips continuously jerked, creating pleasurable friction against his groin. He lifted his lover gently and tossed him on the bed. “If I can’t touch, then can I can lick you?”
Xia squealed loudly and hid his blushing face.
As per his promise, Long licked him all over, making Xia whimper and moan in pleasure.
After their pleasure full encounter, Long laid his head n his chest and slept peacefully.
‘This is so unfair!’ Xia thought, watching him slowly breathe in and out. He caressed the little dragon’s glossy a hair and caressed his face. ‘Silly dragon, he marked my entire body with red marks and tooth prints,’
