Chapter 188: Sequelae (II)
Long was stunned. “How could this happen?”
“I don’t know.”
Long frowned. Shi’s eyes turned red? He didn’t think it was a big problem and wanted to see how Shi looked like at the moment.
Long thought that his empress was good-looking and perhaps the special red eyes would make him more attractive.
Long didn’t care about that, but he was afraid that Shi didn’t think so.
After all, all the people in this nation had black eyes. So did the barbarians in the north. Some of them had brown eyes at most.
Shi definitely wouldn’t like his red eyes.
Thinking of that, Long decided to go to ask Liu first.
When he got to Liu’s place, he found Liu and Ouyang were having lunch.
Seeing that they were eating, Long felt hungry, too.
“Get me a bowl of rice,” Long said.
A Shadow Guardian did his bidding at once.
Long sat down at the table. “Are you okay?”
Liu looked at Long and put down the chopsticks. “You came to ask about Shi Qingzhou, right?”
“Yes.” Long also looked at Liu. “What’s the matter with Qingzhou? Why did his eyes become red?”
“It’s because of the poisonous insect,” Liu said seriously, “The worst has happened.”
Long was stunned. “What do you mean?”
“That poisonous insect can affect people’s character and make them become murderous. I thought it would be okay after we took it out, but now I found it already affected Shi Qingzhou.”
Long looked very serious. “What are the consequences?”
“The color of the pupils represents the will of killing. I’ve seen Shi Qingzhou’s eyes. They’re just light red. If it can be controlled and his eyes don’t become dark red, it won’t have a great impact on him. But if it can’t be controlled… he will become a maniac killer sooner or later.”
“How to control it?” Long asked immediately.
Liu shook his head. “I can’t answer this question. It’s all up to Shi Qingzhou.”
Shi could control it by himself?
Long knitted his brows.
Ouyang said coldly, “If he kills less people, it’ll be better.”
After a pause, Long said, “So it’s best to ask Qingzhou to go back?”
“Yes, but the plan has been carried out for a long time. It’s difficult to ask him to give up now,” Liu said.
Long lowered his head and began to ponder. He knew that it was really difficult.
“Alright. Let’s eat first,” Long finally said.
There would always be a way out. Anyway, the current situation was satisfactory.
Long began to eat. Ouyang and Liu looked at each other and said nothing.
They thought that it would be okay as long as Long knew that.
After lunch, Long left directly.
Liu looked at Ouyang and said softly, “How do you feel? Does it hurt anywhere?”
Ouyang said coldly, “I’m fine.”
Then, he got up and went straight away.
Liu curled his lips and smiled bitterly. He found that Ouyang had become like before again.
He pursed his lips and stood up helplessly…
Long naturally went to find Shi. With the help of the Shadow Guardians, Long went to the eastern suburb of the city.
There was a lake which not many people would frequent.
Shi should’ve gone there to seek some private space.
Long went straight there. From afar, he saw a familiar figure in the pavilion in the center of the lake.
Looking at the man sitting forlorn against the stone pillar, Long felt worried.
“Qingzhou…” Long called Shi’s name softly. “Take me there.”
The Shadow Guardians did his bidding and directly took him to the center of the lake with martial arts.
Hearing the sound, Shi immediately opened his eyes and looked over.
When he saw that it was Long, Shi was slightly stunned.
At that time, Long had already landed in the pavilion.
The Shadow Guardians jumped to the top of the pavilion and hid themselves away.
Long and Shi looked at each other and the color of Shi’s pupils was indeed light red.
Long thought that Shi’s eyes were very beautiful.
Long went to Shi step by step. “Qingzhou.”
Long fixed his eyes on Shi, which made Shi slowly drop his eyes and stop looking at him.
Long was standing in front of Shi.
“Qingzhou, don’t you want to look at me?”
Shi didn’t talk, but turned around.
Seeing this, Long wrapped his arms around Shi’s waist from behind.
Shi’s body suddenly became stiff. Then, he began to relax slowly.
Long sighed inwardly. “Qingzhou, the color of your eyes is very beautiful.”
Hearing those words, Long suddenly turned around. “What did you say?”
Long blinked, looking very serious and sincere.
“I said that the color of your eyes is very beautiful. I mean it.”
Shi pressed his lips together. “You’re nuts. This color is disgusting.”
“Why do you think so?” Long was a little surprised. “Qingzhou… Don’t you believe what I said? When Ying Qiu told me that the color of your eyes changed, I was very curious. Of course, I guess that you may not like this color, but I don’t allow you to say it’s disgusting. Qingzhou, I like this color, do you understand?”
Long said that firmly. Shi’s soft heart was touched by Long’s sincerity.
Shi’s lips trembled and the dark red turned into light red in a moment.
Long suddenly held Shi into his arms and kissed Shi’s bloodless lips.
From little pecks to deep kiss, Long kissed the man in his arms passionately until his lover’s body went limp.
Long kept holding Shi in his arms.
“Qingzhou, your eyes are really beautiful.” After saying that, Long gently kissed Shi’s eyes.
Shi did not close his eyes, but watched as Long kissed them.
Long’s sincerity and tenderness completely warmed that cold spot in Shi’s heart.
Long kissed Shi’s eyes for a long time. At this time, the redness in Shi’s eyes had become very light and outsiders wouldn’t notice it if they didn’t look at him carefully.
But Shi’s ears had turned completely red, which was intoxicating.
Long kissed Shi’s forehead. “I bet you haven’t had lunch. Let’s go back.”
Shi finally nodded and responded softly, “Mhmm.”
Naturally, Long didn’t need Shadow Guardians to take him back, because Shi was with him!
Shi took Long and flew to the shore. At this time, several killers went to attack them at full speed.
Shi and Long didn’t come out alone, so when those killers appeared, the Shadow Guardians immediately noticed that and went to fight against them.
Coldness filled Shi’s eyes. Long was afraid that Shi would go to kill them, which wouldn’t be good for his health, so he reached out and held Shi’s arm. He didn’t want Shi to fight.
“Qingzhou, Liu Suifeng should have told you about your condition. The Shadow Guardians can protect us. Nothing will happen. You must control your mind and don’t think about killing. Please do it for my sake, okay?”
Shi paused. He turned to look at Long and nodded slowly. “Okay.”
The corners of Long’s mouth turned upward. “Good.”
So, the two of them just stood by and watched them fight.
Shi slowly dropped his eyes and restrained himself from killing. After a while, the fight stopped.
