Chapter 223 - 223 chapter 216
223 chapter 21Watching the downcast Bao, Long thought, ‘Demons are not that proud as depicted by my history books. Looks like most of what I read are one sided commentary. Darn, I can’t believe I trusted them all these years,’
After a few a minute Long said, “I think red hair suits you though. Red looked majestic, even my elder brother has red hair. It looks good on him too,”
“I dot need your unnecessary opinion.” Bao said and snapped his head away from him.
Long frowned even more. ‘What..I was just complementing him. He didn’t have to be so rude,’ he thought, but his eyes met the demons lords red ears. “Don’t tell me... are you embarrassed by my comment just now?”
“NO! Why..Why would I be? Get lost, you. Get away from my sight, butler! Butler, come drag this thing away from me. I don’t want to see him,” the demon went ballistic and rushed away from the hall.
“Huh? He ran away? ....demons are harder to understate than I thought,” Long shook his head. He dropped a bag of gold on the table, for the broken bed and went on his way to the kitchens.
The cooks were hurrying about chopping vegetable and frying things, and Long stood next to the doorway smelling the wonder aroma. After clearing his throat he said, “a set of breakfast to second floor,”
The cook slowly turned towards him and gave him a stare.
Long too peered at him. Just like that both of stared at each other for a while. ‘Eh, why isn’t he preparing anything? Why does he keep staring at me like that?’
.....
“Excuse me, I don’t think you heard me the last time. I said, I would like a set of breakfast delivered to the second floor,”

The cook lost his cool. He tossed the small kitchen towel he was wearing and whispered, “Where did this rude man come from? Didn’t your parents teach you manners?”
Long took a double take at the verbal attack from this man. This harmless human was glaring at him so intensely that he was pretty intimidated. ‘Is it wrong to ask like that? I usually order servants like that in heaven’s realm? Is that not applicable here?’
After a while he added, “Please.....” awkwardly.
The cook nodded reluctantly and handed over a tray of food. “Youngsters these days.....you really should learn to say please and sorry,” he grumbled and went back to work.
Long awkwardly smiled at him thinking, ‘I’m not young though, I’m almost five thousand years old,’
With the tray in hand, he cheerfully hopped over to their room. On the way he saw the butler standing awkwardly outside their room with his hands raised up to knock.
“What is it?”
Startled, the butler jumped back a little. “Oh...that.....I actually wanted to see you,”
“Me? What for?”
The butler awkwardly gave him a box and rushed away. His face was flushed red as he gazed back at him.
Long was totally confused by his behaviour. He glanced at the bog box in hand and shrugged. “whatever,”
He went in without knocking. His lover was still asleep, cutely tucked in inside the blanket. Only the top of his head was seen with his long hair spread out in waves. “Did I wear him out too much?” he whispered softly, kissing his brows.
Xia moaned and rolled. His hands smacked on Long’s face as he was turning about. But the dragon did not bother.
Long rolled down his blanket down and whispered, “Baby, it’s time to eat..... you need to replenish your energy,”
Xia’s eyes slowly fluttered open. He gazed at him with hazy eyes and whispered, “Stupid dragon, if I eat now, you will eat me again,”
Long blushed red at this. “N—No I won’t. But you have to eat, baby,” he whispered next to his ear.
Xia groaned and sat up.. the blanket fell to his waist, reviling his naked torso. A lot of red marks covered the expanse of his chest and his back, even his n*ipples were red and swollen. “how much did you bite me yesterday, huh? It’s as if you really were trying to eat me,” He rumbled, scratching the red marks.
Long lovingly caressed his head. “it’s because you look so delicious,” he whispered low.
Xia gazed at him with a soft blush and ducked away from his hands. “No touching, or you’ll pounce on me again. I don’t think my backside can handle anymore,” he whispered with a pout.
“okay okay, I won’t eat you, now eat your breakfast,” he said handing him the tray full of food. It had roasted chestnut soup, a plate of scrambled eggs and a cup of brown milk.
“What is this? It smells like milk at the same time, it smells like it’s not,” Xia whispered, sniffing it deeply. The drink smelt very refreshing and fresh that he wanted to rink it immediately. He took a sip out of it and smacked his mouth. The drink was sweet and slightly bitter, at the same time he could also taste the yummy taste of milk. “Long, this drink is so good,” he whispered with his eyes wide open.
Long too picked up the cup and took a sip. He too liked it a lot. “Hmm, it tasted so mellow. Its nice,” he whispered as he blew the steam from the cup.
Xia grinned and plucked it from his hands. “And it’s mine, go get your own,”
“Baby, how could you not share a drink with your lover,” Long said playfully and tried to get it from his hands. Xia evaded and jumped out of bed with the cup in hand. The duvet that was covering him fully unveiled exposing his fully naked form.
Long choked a little. Hot blood rushed out of his nose, dripping straight onto the bed. ‘Shit....my baby....he looks sooo beautiful. And those marks....’ he glanced down between his leg and sighed. He swiftly adjusted his coat so that it hid his bulging member. “Xia, come back here, you are running around naked,”
Xia too halted and slowly walked up to him. His steps slow and sensual that it made the dragon crazy as hell. “Are you....hard again?” Xia whispered as he sat on the dragon’s lap. He slowly sipped the drink and gazed playfully at the dragon’s flushed face.
“N—No,” Long hid his face to avoid any kind of temptation, but it was really hard to control himself with his lover’s naughty touches.
Xia pulled his hands away from his a face to reveal his blood smeared look. With a frown, Xia helped I’m clean his bleeding nose. “Is it time for your rut again? See, you are bleeding so much,” he worriedly whispered. Last time as well, his dragon had started bleeding through his nose when it was time for his rut, so he was worried that it might hurt his health. “Let me check your spiritual energy first,”
The crayfish slowly inserted a small amount of energy inside his body and explored every nook and corner. “Your dantian is filled with energy, but it is not revolving as it usually should. Long, do you feel any pain when I touch you here,” he whispered, poking his underbelly.
Long shook his head. He actually did not feel any pain at all. After his love bout with Xia, he was actually felling more energetic than usual. His spiritual energy that he absorbed from the ruby was fully integrated into his body. “I feel much better after last night, before I felt as if my body was made of lead. Now it’s back to its old form,” he said softly kissing his frowning lover.
“No, I’m still worried. That spiritual energy inside that ruby was very pure yet still it had not fully combined din your body. If your body rejects it more, you might return to being a human,” Xia said with a frown. He slowly pushed his energy towards his dantian and helped the spiritual energy revolve smoothly. As if listening to his command, the red spiritual energy inside long’s body moved around cheerfully.
Long gazed deeply into his scrunched up eyes and whispered, “who’s spiritual energy is it Xia? Why does it only listens to your calls?”
“Its Hong Lian’s....ummm, he is my past life.” Xia whispered, peering deeply into his eyes.
“Hong Lian? As in the demon king’s son, Hong Lian?”
After a moment, “hmm, do you....hate that I’m a demon?” Xia whispered.
“No, I love you, I don’t care if you are a human, beast or a demon, you are Xia to me,” Long whispered lovingly.
Xia chuckled softly and nuzzled in his embrace. He kissed his adam’s apple and gazed up at him. “Do you know about Hong Lian?”
Suddenly Long could remember so many things he had read in the history books, and also some stories his grandmother had whispered to his ears. His anger spiked at just the thought. He hugged Xia close to his chest. “Hong Lian...he was cheated into loving Wei Long,” he whispered finally.
“What! What do you mean?”
