章 695: You Sure Move Fast

Xiang Yu didn't pay any attention to Xin Lan at all. He just ignored him and focused on Jinde instead.

Jinde laughed. "I really don't know what you misunderstood. I never was interested. There was only ever my husband for me."

Xiang Yu pondered and finally nodded. That was much more reasonable. He had seen just how well his husband treated him. It was expected for him to fall in love with such a man and stay with him forever. Naturally, he wouldn't want somebody like that fake dragon instead. "You're really lucky to have found a husband like that."

Jinde reached over and patted the fallen god's head once again. He couldn't help but think of a little animal when he saw him like this. Unfortunately, it was as if this little animal had been abandoned by its owner, making it look gloomy most of the time even though it was actually supposed to run around freely and happily bring its findings back to the person it liked to ask for praise. "I'm sure you will also find a good husband one day."

Xiang Yu shook his head. "My husband wasn't very good to me. He never liked me." He didn't say more than that and Jinde didn't dare to ask.

Even though he wasn't afraid of this person, he also knew that a fallen god wasn't someone to mess with. Depending on what had happened with this husband of his, asking him to talk about it might trigger something he wouldn't be able to cope with. He couldn't risk that. Not when he was this close to healing his soul and having a normal life with Jin Yu. "Well, sometimes things don't work out. But maybe there will be somebody in your future who will treat you much better. You certainly deserve such a person."

Xiang Yu didn't answer. He didn't know if he deserved such a person but Tian had also said that there was someone like that in the future. If they both thought so, then there should be something to that, shouldn't there? Anyway, he would first go on his trial and find out how it was to live a happy life. Come to think of it … Xiang Yu moved closer to Jinde and glanced at the fake dragon that wasn't standing far from them. "I'm going on a second trial soon. He promised to accompany me. If he tries to back out or pretends to have forgotten, you have to remind him."

Jinde raised his brows. He certainly wouldn't have thought that even fallen gods were doing trials. The fact that Xin Lan had agreed to accompany him on this trial was even more shocking to him though. Hadn't he still assured him a while ago that he wasn't interested in this person? Don't tell him something had changed this fast?

Xin Lan furrowed his brows but didn't speak up. His Master didn't need to know that he had done this for him. He could believe whatever he wanted. Furthermore, hadn't he been the one who told him to take a break? Going on the trial might as well be a break. Anyway, that wasn't important now. "Your Majesty, since we know how to heal your soul now, we should make haste with everything else. How about I go and help your husband and that brat to find the ingredients for the pill? After all, you still need that closed realm to recuperate in there."

Jinde sighed and went back to the desk, sitting down on the chair and stretching his long legs. "Didn't I say you should take a break? Don't worry about this. Since we already know how to heal my soul, it's only a question of time. Since you want to accompany him on his trial, you shouldn't lose any time with that. Just go and do the trial. It'll do you good."

Xin Lan furrowed his brows. He certainly wasn't eager to leave right now. "Your Majesty, I've been with you for all these years. Can't I at least stay around to see if this works out?"

Xiang Yu glared at the fake dragon. "Naturally it'll work out. You don't believe me? Or is it that you just want to get around accompanying me? You swore an oath! Don't think you can get out of this."

Xin Lan whirled around to him and pointed at his nose. "This isn't just about you! I've spent many years with this person and I've seen him get hurt this much. Isn't it normal for me to care and want to see that he's doing good before I leave for an indefinite amount of time?"

Xiang Yu blinked his eyes and looked from Xin Lan to Jinde. Even if those two hadn't been lovers, it was obvious that Xin Lan did care about him. He pondered and finally raised his chin. "Well, I guess accompanying me can mean a lot. Since you want to see what will happen here, then I'll just go and prepare everything.

"I can't just leave from here. My body needs to be in a safe place. That can't be the demon realm either so I'll have to find that safe spot first. After that, I'll go and start the trial.

"You can just come and look for me after a while. Since you agreed to be my lover, it should be alright if you do so after I've grown up. You can wait here for that time and see how things go." He didn't wait for Xin Lan or Jinde to say anything and just ripped open another gate and stepped through. The gate closed right behind him, not leaving the other two men any chance to respond.

The study fell silent. In fact, the silence was deep enough for the sounds of the birds tweeting outside to be heard loud and clear.

In the end, Jinde raised his golden brows and gave Xin Lan a teasing smile. "So you've agreed to become his lover. You sure move fast."


章 696: Treat Him Well

Xin Lan furrowed his brows. This stupid fallen god! Did he have to word it like this? Did he have to say anything anyway? Couldn't he have just kept silent? He wanted to explain to his Master so he wouldn't get the wrong impression but stopped himself at the last moment. His lips curved into a slight smile. "Would you mind if I did?"

Jinde smiled back at him. "What are you saying? Mind? I'd be very happy for you. He's such an adorable child. Maybe the best person you can find."

Xin Lan's lips twitched. He had almost forgotten how cold his Master could be. Well, whatever. He went to sit down behind him and reached out to massage his shoulders. "He suddenly wanted to go on a second trial. I don't know what gave him the idea. But he helped us a lot so … I'm going to do him a favor and play his lover for a while. He won't remember his past there anyway. And when he comes back …" He shook his head and didn't say anything further. They both knew that he certainly wouldn't change the target of his feelings this fast. Even though he was able to fall in love more than once contrary to the other dragons, that didn't mean that he could fall in love at random. Time and the person still needed to be right.

As for Xiang Yu … Well, he was pretty enough to get some of his attention but not really his type and he didn't want to take the trouble of trying to figure out how to have a relationship with a fallen god either.

And the time certainly wasn't the best right now. He had only just found his Master again and cleared things up with him. Falling in love with somebody else right now was nigh impossible. No, if anything, then he would need some time. Get over his love for Jinde and then slowly look for somebody else that he might be able to love. If it happened, then it would happen. If it didn't … Well, he had been alone for a long time already. Adding some more years wouldn't be trouble. He was already used to it. Right now, he was still too hung up over his Master.

Speaking of that … "Do you really just want to wait until your husband returns?"

Jinde hummed. "What else should I do? Sure, I can try to contact him but if they haven't found all the ingredients yet, then it won't do to call them back either. No, I should just wait that bit. Jin Yu will return as soon as he's finished. Everything else can be taken care of afterward."

Xin Lan nodded. This might really be for the best. After all, the dimension still depended on that Bai Mu. Come to think of it … His brows furrowed and his hands stopped moving. That fallen god … Had he seen Bai Mu's face? If he had, then he hadn't had any reaction. Not that he had noticed at least. How strange. Could it be he had been wrong? Was there no connection between that Bai Mu and the fallen god's husband?

Jinde glanced over his shoulder and raised his brows. Whatever Xin Lan was thinking about, it seemed to be rather troubling. What a novel sight! He reached over and gently put his hand on Xin Lan's arm. "What are you pondering?"

Xin Lan glanced at him, his heart leaping when he met with those golden eyes. He didn't want to say it but he couldn't stay quiet either. "That fallen god … I think he fell because of a love trial."

Jinde nodded. "That husband he mentioned?"

Xin Lan raised his brows. Indeed. That Xiang Yu had mentioned his husband today. If he remembered correctly this should have been the first time he did that. "I don't know anything about that. It's just that … I think that his husband might be related to the person that is supposed to help with the realm where you're supposed to stay. That Bai Mu."

"Then it might be a good thing after all that he went on his trial already. If they met …"

Xin Lan nodded. "True. It's just that I thought that they had already seen each other in the capital of the human country. I'm not sure though. Maybe he didn't see him anyway. Or maybe I'm overthinking this. Maybe there was nothing with his husband other than him not being treated as well as he thought he deserved."

Jinde leaned closer and reached up, his hand covering the masked part of Xin Lan's face. "Xin Lan, when you go and accompany him on the trial, then try to remember that he deserves to be treated in the best possible way. Not because you promised anything or because he's a fallen god. No, just imagine this was you. Wouldn't you also want to be treated in the best way? So you should do the same for him. Who knows? Maybe it will work out."

Xin Lan had held his breath at first, completely entranced by the earnest look in his Master's eyes. When Jinde finished though, he pulled out of his grasp and shook his head, slightly irritated. "I do not like him." Was it really that hard to understand?

Jinde just smiled. Sure, Xin Lan didn't like him now but who knew how that would look after a trial spent together? Falling in love was something that could happen fast sometimes. If Xin Lan spent some time with somebody else while he was not around and even played that person's lover, then who knew if he would really be able to still be this cold to that person in the end?

Those pretend feelings might just become real over the course of time. And a fallen god … Even though it could be tricky, this was also a person that was strong enough to stand at Xin Lan's side. Maybe he was even the only person that would be able to do so. Why shouldn't he hope for that?
