"Tell me, what is this?"
Lin Hao ignored what was happening outside, as it wasn't his legion and he had no standing to intervene. He looked up and saw Qin Mohan pretending ignorance, so he directly pulled Qin Mohan to the side.
Once they were in a place where no one could disturb them.
He raised his arm, and the black line appeared before their eyes.
He looked at Qin Mohan's eyes, whose expression was unreadable, and said.
He clearly found him annoying back then, so there was no reason to pay such a heavy price to save him.
Even without Fei'er explaining it so clearly, he knew this forbidden technique was not a good thing.
How could one's spiritual power be used to replenish another's?
This went against common sense.
Also, what was the price you paid that time?
"It seems to be well-behaved with you."
Qin Mohan looked at the arm that appeared before his eyes, lowered his head, and gently kissed the black line. His eyes were no longer indifferent, but filled with tenderness as he smiled and held Lin Hao's arm.
He said softly.
His tone was as if he were saying his own little pet was well-behaved.
Lin Hao looked at Qin Mohan, who was smiling before him, and then at his own arm that was being held.
He then heard his words.
His eyes widened.
Good heavens.
Was this spiritual power like a cat or dog?
To just give it away like that?
And now to praise it for being well-behaved?
Were these two the same thing?
"Ahem, I say, don't you have any explanation for this?"
Don't you care about your own body at all?
And what was that "homosexual rehabilitation center" about?
Do you like boys?
He hadn't seen Qin Mohan particularly fond of anyone, so after a few years, he started liking boys?
Lin Hao recalled the memories Fei'er had left him and looked at him with disbelief.
And the disability in his leg.
Qin Mohan's remaining hand gently stroked Lin Hao's hair, then slowly lowered his head to look into Lin Hao's eyes and said, "Don't you understand yet?"
Lin Hao looked up at Qin Mohan, whose eyes were filled with his reflection.
A strange thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
No.
It couldn't be.
Lin Hao's eyes instantly widened.
He looked at Qin Mohan with disbelief.
Qin Mohan saw Lin Hao's reaction and then gently caressed his cheek.
"I like you."
Just as Lin Hao was contemplating whether his thought was fanciful.
Qin Mohan lifted Lin Hao's head, which was about to droop to the ground, and looked him in the eyes with determination, saying.
But his voice was filled with a tremor.
Qin Mohan sensed Lin Hao's desire to avoid the topic.
He then increased the pressure on his hands, but still controlled it well, without intending to hurt Lin Hao.
"Don't avoid it, I like you."
He then looked into Lin Hao's eyes and said again.
Lin Hao, caught off guard, heard the confession again.
He initially thought it was a joke, but then he looked into his eyes and he said it again.
There was no hint of a joke in his eyes.
This made Lin Hao freeze in place.
"You, you, this."
Lin Hao stammered somewhat incoherently.
Qin Mohan didn't seem too disheartened by this, and calmly said, "It's okay, you don't have to respond right now. I'll wait."
He touched Lin Hao's head, looking at Lin Hao's blushing cheeks with a smile.
It's fine, he wasn't in a hurry.
He could wait.
After so many years of feelings, they were finally spoken.
He was very happy.
"But, I'm a boy. How can a boy like a boy?"
Lin Hao looked into Qin Mohan's eyes and asked his question.
Boys and boys, how could this be?
"I like you, regardless of gender. It's just that the person I like happens to be you."
Hearing this explanation, Lin Hao's face instantly turned red.
He could almost hear the strong thumping in his chest.
His heart seemed to have developed a problem.
This feeling.
It was truly deadly.
At this moment, not far away.
Alfar saw the human placing a hand on Zai Zai's head and his face instantly darkened.
Even though Zai Zai knew the person, how could that person place a hand on Zai Zai's head?
No manners at all.
"Do you acknowledge this King?"
Xil's voice came from behind Alfar.
Alfar heard the voice and turned to look at Xil, whose face was pale. He then said coldly, "You want to leave Zai Zai, don't you?"
"Do you still want to guard this person who almost exterminated our race?"
When Xil heard this, the bug she had always pursued with such indifference to the future of their race shouted loudly.
Why?
Why do you think that way?
You clearly detested humans before, but why are you protecting him like this when this human, who harmed our species, becomes our King?
At that time, she also wanted to treat Zai Zai as she had before.
But she seemed unable to do it anymore.
She couldn't protect him with all her heart as she used to.
When she saw Ling, a knot had formed in her heart.
And this knot had always stood between her and that Zai Zai.
Even though Ling had explained the reason back then, she still hadn't forgotten the sight of her burning nest upon returning after being tricked into leaving.
She understood Ling's explanation, but her heart had changed.
And Alfar stood quietly in front of Xil, watching her silent sobs.
He knew it wasn't the time to talk. She needed to vent now.
Whether it was Zai Zai suddenly becoming the enemy of their race, or that fish losing its memory.
Alfar walked up to Xil and hugged her, gently stroking her hair.
Offering silent comfort.
Xil, held in his arms, could no longer suppress her emotions and cried loudly, "Why, why, why did it become like this? I know this is the King's choice, but why didn't he say goodbye properly, but instead drove us all away? Why, why?"
She also knew that everything Ling did had its own considerations.
But why wouldn't he tell them anything?
Were the years they lived together so unworthy of a farewell?
Even for the last time, they had to be placed in a safe place.
She really couldn't understand.
She wasn't trying to target Zai Zai.
It was just that every time she saw Zai Zai now, she saw Ling's shadow on him.
And then she would think of Ling's abandonment.
Why was this?
Alfar gently patted Xil's head. "That was the King's choice. All we can do is protect Zai Zai well. No matter the reason, let's not have any ulterior motives."
At that time, when Alfar heard that Zai Zai was the murderer of the King, his first thought was to kill Zai Zai to avenge the King.
But then he thought of the half-year they spent together.
Those half-years of laughter.
He also remembered Zai Zai's wary appearance when he first came out, and how he would often apologize and cry to them.
Then, combined with the King's words.
He could guess that Zai Zai was also unaware of this reincarnation.
And had been forcibly thrust into their company by Ling.
