Chapter 189: Becoming a Murderous Demon (I)
The counterattack for the assassination was finally finished. Long and Shi ordered to kill all the assassins without considering keeping any assassin alive. They must have the Eastern Darkness pay the price, who dared make trouble in Tianlong Dynasty.
When they got rid of all the Eastern Darkness’ talons and fangs lurking around in Tianlong Dynasty, they would cope with the Eastern Darkness.
Since the Eastern Darkness dared act wildly in their nation, they would definitely strike back, instead of sitting around and do nothing, just like fools.
The good news was that the Eastern Darkness itself was not peaceful any more!
Although the details was unknown for the moment, one thing they were sure of was that a prince who was capable of competing with the crown prince for throne appeared in the Eastern Darkness.
And this prince certainly had a close relationship with Fang Shuoyang!
Internal strife costed most. The emperor of the Eastern Darkness had been coveting Tianlong Dynasty, but, as long as there was a crack in the Eastern Darkness, this game between the two nations would not end easily.
After returning to the house, Long was wondering how to persuade Shi to go back to the imperial palace first.
A shadow guardian came over and asked when to leave.
Long answered, “You can excuse yourself, I will make you know after a while.”
After the guardian walked away, Shi looked at Long as if he already knew what Long would say.
As a matter of fact, after being together for such a long time, each of them sometimes could feel the way the other felt.
“Qingzhou, ahem.” Long cleared his throat, trying to figure out a way to persuade Shi.
Shi asked, “What is it? You want me to return?”
Long suddenly got the feeling that all his excuses would be meaningless. His Qingzhou was too smart to be fooled easily.
“Eh... ” Long did not know what to say.
Shi said firmly, “We finally get here, I will not go back.”
Long took a deep breath, “Qingzhou, you have recovered, so we needn’t rush, right?”
“Yep.” Shi nodded, “But, I will not give up now.”
“I didn’t mean to let you give up.” Long tried to put it in another way, “How could I let you give up? But this matter can be handled by others.”
“I do not trust others.” Shi refused.
Long got choked and had no words to retort.
“Qingzhou... Why not leave it to Liu Suifeng?”
Shi sneered, “What is the relationship between Liu and me? He is both good and evil, so is Ouyang. I definitely don’t trust them.”
Long was mooved by hearing that, because he understood that Shi did all of this for him.
“Qingzhou... ”
“I have to handle it in person. You can go back, I’ll stay here.” Shi said decidedly, with the light red of his pupils getting darkened.
Long was frightened, then eagerly agreed, “Okay, Qingzhou, I got it. You don’t need to go back first.”
Shi tightly pursed his lips, then became quiet.
Long said softly, “If you stay, I’ll stay. How about eliminating all the enemies one by one together?”
Shi kept silent, then nodded, “Okay, you can stay. The imperial palace is not safe either.”
Long smiled, “You intended to send me back, didn’t you?”
Shi said nothing with his lips puckered.
Long sighed in his heart, thinking his lover was really bloodthirsty now.
Under such circumstances, Long believed he had better not irritate Shi.
He then held Shi’s hand, “Qingzhou, when do we start off?”
Looking at Long, Shi thought for a moment and said, “Tomorrow.”
Long nodded, “Tomorrow is okay.”
“Hmm.” Shi responded slightly, then looked away.
Long held Shi’s hands, as if he was comforting him and asked him not to think too much. He said, “Your decision is right. They wanna kill me, so it is safe for me to stay outside of the imperial palace.”
Shi nodded, “I’ll ask Qiu Ming to send more guardians here.”
“Qiu has been following us, hasn’t he?” Long asked.
Shi nodded, “Yes, he has. But he just took several subordinates. To ensure our safety, I plan to send more guardians here.”
Long nodded, “Good, I’ll leave it to you then. But, Qingzhou, I’ve let you stay, and you have to promise me one thing.”
“... Go ahead.” Shi gazed at Long with his light red eyes.
Long answered, “Qingzhou, you have to promise me that you’ll control yourself from killing people. You can just make plans and give orders, but don’t participate in the action in person.”
Shi nodded, “Alright.”
Long slightly curled his lips, “You should keep your words. If not, I’ll get angry.”
Shi pursed his lips slightly, “Got it.”
Long laughed and slightly pinched Shi’s face.
Liu came over at night, “Shi, let me feel your pulse.”
Shi refused, “No need.”
Long smiled, “Qingzhou, let him check it.”
Shi frowned.
Long appeased Shi, “Let him check it, so I won’t feel less anxious, okay?”
Under Long’s soft persuasion, Shi finally acquiesced, but still glanced at Liu coldly.
Liu sighed in his heart, being stunned at the influence of the insect.
As a matter of fact, Shi’s personality changed a lot.
Shi may be a little indifferent in the past, but only to the enemies.
But now, he could attack anyone except Long.
So undoubtedly, Shi was a horrible person right now.
Then Liu started to feel the pulse with gold thread as before.
Actually, Shi couldn’t endure to be close with others at all.
As long as others approached him, the strong homicidal intent would rise in his heart even if others did nothing else.
Long was the only exception.
After the check, Liu said, “His body itself is good now, but the sequelae of the insect only can be cured later. I can prescribe some medicine that can calm your mind. Do you need it?”
Shi slightly nodded after thinking for a while, “Yes.”
Hearing this, Liu was quietly relieved, “I’ll prescribe, and try to make the medicine into pills, so you can take them with you.”
Long eagerly asked, “We planed to leave tomorrow, do you have time to make pills?”
“No problem, I can do that on the road.” Liu said.
Long nodded, stopping worrying.
In the morning of the next day, Long and Shi started off.
To speed up their journey and avoid being spotted by their enemies, Long refused to take a carriage ride until they arrived at the next city.
Accordingly, Long rode a horse together with Shi.
Shi did not ride fast for Long’s sake.
