12.12 - There's no room to talk about love

translator: xiin

editors: alamerysl & Misogi

Xue Ling caught Xi's hand and took advantage of his brief daze to turn him over and straddle him. He sat on the other party's waist, bent over, and lowered his head so that his forehead rested against Xi's, their noses rubbing together. His gaze had the power to make the man crazy. "When you're clear about what exactly it is you want, we can continue looking into what the relationship between us is."

Xi placed one hand against Xue Ling's back, resting the other on his waist. "You're not going to teach me?" His breathing was unsteady. Xue Ling sat on him and could clearly feel that certain parts of his body had markedly changed. "You don't want to know what the consequences are of allowing me to learn by myself."

They stared at each other for a long time, then Xue Ling suddenly laughed and said, "There's no harm in teaching you. You've helped me a lot, and obtaining some benefits is only natural."

His fingertips slid along the man's neck. His touch was light, but his every action was extremely provocative. "But after this time, things will be clear between us. Anything I agreed to before, or whatever you've done, will all be void after this."

Xi's gaze darkened. "You want to get rid of me just like this? You're willing to sacrifice something just for the sake of leaving me?"

Xue Ling shook his head. He was amused as he said, "Where did your thoughts go? Even if I throw you off, where would I go? Would you agree to separate from me?"

Xi shook his head.

Xue Ling licked his lips: "I just want to clear up the accounts between us so that we can treat our relationship more simply from today on." As he spoke, he reached out to pull off Xi's clothes.

Xi's robe looked very complicated, which always highlighted the abstinence on his face, as though he was completely separate from certain base desires.

That was true. After all, when could one ever see a god turn bewildered by **? He had always been a cold, calm god standing high up above. Xue Ling quite liked seeing his face stretched taut. Being able to tease someone like this to the point where they were flushed all over brought Xue Ling great pleasure.

In fact, he really enjoyed that there were little differences in the man's temperament in every world. It meant that he could always experience something fresh and new every time he seduced him, and other than the fact that the other party always forgot about him, Xue Ling was exceptionally satisfied about everything else.

Of course, this did not make him give up his intention of recalling who this person was. After all, if they had been involved with each other from the beginning, remembering everything was the only way to balance out their relationship. Perhaps this was also why the man had always refused to tell him, and insisted that he learn everything himself. His strength was slowly recovering, and it wouldn't be long before the memories of what existed between them were no longer secret.

Xue Ling tugged, thinking that he would be able to remove a layer of Xi's clothing, but unexpectedly, his hand came up empty after his action as Xi's clothing disappeared. He narrowed his eyes, and gave the man beneath his body a profound look. "You know what I want to do?"

"You wanted to take off my clothes, right?" The man's response was calm. Despite the fact that the roots of his ears had already turned red, his tone and expression still appeared to be completely under his control. "The clothing of a god is not something that just anyone can remove."

Xue Ling made an 'oh' sound, then raised his eyebrows. "Since it's like that..." He smirked, "Then I'll take off my own clothes. Does that count as returning the favor for you?"

He held Xi's hand in his own and brought it with him to pull off the tie holding his sleep robe together. Xue Ling smiled as he slowly, little by little, allowed the robe he was wearing to fall from his shoulders. This action was particularly provocative; he was nude under the robe, and his slender but strong body was slowly exposed to Xi's gaze bit by bit, revealing smooth lines of muscle and attractive white skin bathed in the glow from the flickering fireplace flames. As his robe slowly slid downwards, Xi's breathing turned ragged.

Murphy sneered and walked to the door. "Ha. That's a ** that even the God of Light had no resistance against. How could Ivan be saved? I can no longer protect you two. For the sake of the future, I can only hope that his hatred is focused on the two of you, and not on the entire royal family. Otherwise, this country will really reach its end."

Kent and the Queen were left speechless, and could only watch as Murphy walked out of the room.

At that moment, they seemed to lose all their strength. Even Murphy was unwilling to protect them; their future had completely turned into darkness.

Kent gave the Queen a deep look, then turned around and left, slamming the door behind him.

He still wanted to test out whether or not Ivan really no longer trusted him. He wanted to know if he had already changed. Oliver used to listen so closely to Ivan's words, and even after he forcibly broke the contract, he ultimately still chose to return to Ivan's side. If Ivan still loved him, then Oliver would not be able to do too much to him.

In the final analysis, that was precisely the reason why Kent dared to speak to Xue Ling like that yesterday. Since he was still willing to obey Ivan, Kent was sure that he held the upper hand.

Oliver wouldn't kill him. He told himself this as he walked.

On the other side, Xue Ling slept deeply until afternoon before finally waking up. It was the first time doing it with this body, and he had started with that kind of position before being pressed down for several more rounds. He was really very tired and slept in a daze until mid-afternoon before waking up.

After waking up, he was still surrounded in Xi's embrace. As a god, Xi basically did not need to sleep at all, but the kind of things they had done yesterday were too enjoyable. After having a good night's sleep, he used his divine power to give Xue Ling a massage and felt Xue Ling up all over again. The other party hadn't woken up, so Xi knew that the other party was truly tired, and had simply enveloped him in his embrace, lowering his head to watch him until he woke up.

So, after Xue Ling woke up and focused his gaze, he met Xi's incredibly gentle eyes. He blinked, then stretched and tilted his head, moving into a comfortable position. "Good morning."

Xi bowed his head to drop a kiss on his head, and said, "I've thought through what our relationship should be."

"Huh?" The sound vibrated out of his throat, and sounded especially relaxed. Xue Ling's fox eyes glanced over lazily, and the spot of red at the corner of his eyes brought back memories of his flirtatious appearance last night. It made Xi unable to help but lower his head to kiss him again in the corner of his eye.

"We are in the kind of relationship that people have when they do the kind of things we did yesterday."

"That is called a carnal relationship." Xue Ling smiled widely and stuck to the facts. "You want to be sex friends?"

Even though Xi was unclear about his words and didn't quite understand, he shook his head. "In the word of ordinary people, they call this relationship that is closer than lovers 'husband and wife'?"

Xue Ling looked disgusted: "Who wants to be husband and wife with you." He sneered arrogantly, and prepared to get up. "I haven't even said I like you. I was just paying off my debts last night. You're not qualified enough to get into my bed in the future~"

He grabbed the clothes that were lying to the side and pulled them on, ignoring Xi's gaze. "My revenge isn't even over yet. There's no room to talk about love."
